Chapter 749 Palace banquet poisoning! (4)
Jingyi chuckled twice, "What? Then Peng Shilang still doesn't know about Peng Qiaoer's glorious deeds?"

"I didn't know it at first! But now I know it. I heard that the idea of ​​raising that concubine as a flat wife is gone! In addition, I sent someone to exert pressure secretly, and Peng Qiaoer has been grounded by him Don't mention it's a palace banquet, I guess I won't be able to leave the mansion for a month or so."

"Did I get into trouble again! After all, he is also the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and it was because I was too impulsive for a while and couldn't control my emotions."

Seeing self-blame in Jingyi's tone, Yuan Xi quickly stepped forward and coaxed: "What happened? It's not your fault! That Peng Qiao'er is indeed too arrogant! She even dares to provoke my woman! This is not bad! At least let Peng Shilang understand a truth! Not everyone can fight this king's idea!"

"Yuanxi, I think tomorrow's palace banquet will be unusual. You should also take precautions."

"Don't worry. It's fine. This morning, the emperor made a decree to formally designate Qingtian as the next successor of Miao Jiang. The palace banquet tomorrow night is to celebrate Qingtian, and secondly, to see him off. "

"Are they going back to Miaojiang?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "Yes, I'm going back to Miaojiang. I just wonder if this Princess Lixiang will let Qing Tian go so smoothly?"

"Don't worry. If you use a cup for poisoning, she still won't be able to reach Sunny Sky."

In the evening of the next day, when the lanterns came on, the palace was already full of excitement. Inside the Chongwen Hall, the dignitaries and dignitaries, what you said and what I said, it was really lively!

Because the banquet has not yet started, the female relatives are all waiting in the side hall.

"Sister-in-law Wuhuang's complexion looks a bit unwell, are you okay?" Jingyi asked with a concerned expression.

Concubine Xian shook her head, "Thank you six younger brothers and sisters for your concern. I'm fine, but recently, I always feel that I can't sleep well, as if I can always hear something. But I can't say it."

"Then have you asked the imperial doctor to look at it?"

"I've seen it. The imperial doctor said that Xu was too tired recently. But after thinking about it, I didn't work hard these days when I was back in Beijing. How could I be tired?"

"Sister-in-law Wuhuang still needs to rest well!"

"Thank you six younger brothers and sisters. Both the eldest sister-in-law and the second emperor's sister-in-law are here." Princess Xian lowered her voice and said, "Why did the two of them come together today? Isn't it a coincidence?"

"Sister-in-law Wuhuang, haven't you heard of the narrow Encounter Road?" Jingyi blinked playfully.

Concubine Xian couldn't help laughing, but she still held back.

After a few greetings from the crowd, Sister Si Zan came in and ushered everyone into the main hall. Just as the seats were arranged, a servant outside heard a loud voice, "The emperor is here! The empress is here!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! The queen is a thousand years old!" Everyone knelt down and shouted.

After the emperor and the empress took their seats, "You are welcome to sit down without courtesy."

Princess Lixiang sat on the lower head of Princess Li Jing, her eyes glanced lightly at Concubine Xian's body, and the unconcealable pride in her eyes fell into the eyes of Jingyi who was on the lower head of Concubine Xian.Jingyi frowned slightly, a bad premonition welled up in her heart again.

After drinking for a while, Princess Lixiang got up and raised her glass and said: "Honorable Emperor, the ministers represent the father and king who is far away in Miaojiang to offer a glass to His Majesty. May Your Majesty be healthy and happy like the East China Sea!"

"Hehe, Princess Lixiang has learned how people from the Central Plains toast, not bad! Okay, I've done it!" The emperor picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp!

Princess Lixiang naturally drank it all in one gulp, "Your Majesty, today is a palace banquet, and it is also to celebrate my elder brother becoming the young master of Miaojiang. I wonder if Lixiang can make the decision to invite the ladies present to perform tonight?"

Lixiang's crisp voice echoed throughout the entire Chongwen Hall, and the ladies present naturally had beautiful eyes and shy faces when they heard it.Who doesn't know that tonight's celebration for the prince of Miaojiang is fake, and it's true to choose a side concubine for the prince?Naturally, everyone hopes that they can come out on top in the imperial court!

The queen laughed and said, "Princess Lixiang is really short-tempered! That's okay, I don't know which lady Princess Lixiang wants to invite to perform first?"

Lixiang pretended to be thinking, and looked at all the people present, "Your Majesty, all the ladies present are all talented, but after all, they are in front of the imperial court, and I am worried that they will inevitably be nervous. Why don't you invite a few princesses?" Or one of the wives will perform a part first, so that they can relax. I don’t know what the empress thinks?”

The empress seemed to be in a state of embarrassment, and looked at the emperor at the side as if asking for help, "What does the emperor think?"

The emperor smiled, "It's okay if it's just for opening. How about this, I'll come to pick it up! Concubine Ping!"

Jingyi was thinking about what this Princess Lixiang was planning, when suddenly she was called by the emperor, she hurriedly got up and said, "My son is here!"

"Let's start with you today! It can be regarded as giving courage to the ladies! You can't refuse this time!" The emperor laughed.

Jingyi was slightly taken aback, acting?Where did she prepare anything?Besides, I just love to listen to the piano, and I am not very proficient in the art of the piano. If I play the piano, wouldn't it be ridiculous!But what else can you do if you don’t play the piano?Dance?Looks like she can't either?

Jingyi was still thinking about it when she heard Princess Lixiang say: "Actually, Lixiang has heard about Princess Ping's name for a long time since she came to Beijing! Princess Ping was famous when she was young! Lixiang has been I really admire it! In fact, during this period of time, Lixiang has been studying some cultures of your Central Plains, only to find that your Central Plains culture is too difficult and too deep! There will always be many things you don’t understand! Today, since The emperor has chosen Princess Ping, so how about asking Princess Ping to explain Lixiang's confusion?"

Jingyi's expression was natural, "I don't know what question Princess Lixiang wants to ask?"

"I see that you in the Central Plains pay special attention to the five elements and eight trigrams. I'm curious, what is this thing? It seems magical, but it's so mysterious! Is it really that powerful?"

"Five elements and eight trigrams are divided into yin and yang five elements and eight trigrams theory. 'Five elements' specifically refers to metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and eight trigrams, which are the continuation of yin and yang and five elements, or divide everything into eight trigrams. Eight trigrams They are: Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui. Bagua is usually used in azimuth, divination, Fengshui, etc. However, I only have a little understanding of these, and I am not proficient in them. If Princess Lixiang wants to If you want to learn, you still need to hire an expert professor!"

Princess Lixiang showed a look of admiration on her face, "Princess Ping is amazing! I can't even remember this?"

Jingyi smiled lightly, "My Central Plains culture is extensive and profound. What I just said is just superficial. If the princess wants to study it, she should hire another high-level teacher."

Princess Lixiang didn't seem to understand the irony in it, and said with a smile: "I also heard that you in the Central Plains pay attention to the five elements of color! I would like to hear how Princess Ping knows about the five elements of color? I wonder what Princess Ping thinks?"
