"It seems that this family banquet is not a whim."

Qinglan said: "Why don't you call yourself sick?" ”

"No." Xue Jinyi shook her head, "In this way, it makes people suspect that staying in the capital is not the real King of Chu." ”

She frowned, thinking back to the events of the past few days.

The temptation is over, and he has deliberately provoked Shen Qingmo, why is there suddenly a family banquet that will have problems at this time?

What is the emperor thinking?

What the hell is the person who proposed this feast thinking?

Or, is it something that has happened in the past few days that has made them bow and snake?

There were countless conjectures in Xue Jinyi's mind.

"Since it's a family banquet, go and ask if the eldest princess is also going." Xue Jinyi first instructed Jin Yang, "If the eldest princess also goes, then try to find out who will go to the family banquet." ”

Jin Yang took the order and walked out quickly.

Xue Jinyi's gaze fell on Ai Yun's body again.

Her gaze was very calm, without any worries or doubts, but Ai Yun felt a little pressure.

He said: "Princess Chu, please rest assured, her subordinates will not show flaws." ”

Xue Jinyi turned around and took out a set of dark round-necked robes from the closet, gestured in front of Ai Yun, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the King of Chu is silent and has never attracted much attention, so you don't need to worry too much about anything." Besides, it doesn't have to be someone who wants to test whether you are the king of Chu......"

Vaguely, she felt something, but when she thought about it, she couldn't think of a reason for a while.

She sighed slightly, "I can only be careful on the road and make plans again." ”

Regardless of whether it is Longtan Tiger's Den or not, you have to go like this.

When the chamberlain returned to the palace and came to the emperor, His Majesty, the wise and martial emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was playing with Concubine De to throw a pot, and a feather arrow was thrown, smashed on the copper kettle, and popped out.

And on the edge of the copper kettle, there were already four or five feathered arrows.

Concubine De sent another one, and the emperor took it, without rushing to vote, and asked the chamberlain: "How?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu agreed." The chamberlain replied.

The emperor was expressionless, "That's good, let me see what I plan to do tonight." ”

As he spoke, the feather arrow flew out of his hand and fell steadily into the copper kettle, making a loud "dong" sound.

The emperor raised the corners of his lips slightly, with the confidence that everything was under control.

In the evening, Xue Jinyi and Ai Yun took a carriage to the gate of the palace, and they needed to walk further, and the fire was dim and quiet, and every ten steps or so, there would be guards standing like pines and cypresses.

An attendant trotted up to greet them, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Princess Chu, the emperor will hold a banquet in the imperial garden, and the slaves and maids will lead the way for you." ”

Ai Yun nodded.

The chamberlain lifted a lantern, but the light of the fire could only illuminate a small area within a radius, even if Qinglan also came over with a lantern, it would be useless.

On the long road, on both sides of the towering palace walls, this light and fire is like a ghost movie scene.

The cold wind blew from the other end of the road, and Ai Yun approached Xue Jinyi "considerately" to block the wind for her.

Xue Jinyi smiled sweetly at him.

Even in this dim light, it is difficult to hide the affection between their "husband and wife".

And on the palace wall, two sneaky shadows suddenly appeared, secretly looking down, seeing that the king and wife of Chu were coming, they struggled to lift a wooden barrel, and the contents shook a few times, almost spilling out.

The people on the road were unaware of this and continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

The two men on the palace wall glanced at each other, and the moment the four of them walked below them, they spilled all the contents of the barrel.

There was a "bang", followed by a scream, echoing between the palace walls.

The two of them could imagine how embarrassed the King of Chu and his wife should have been splashed with cold water from the basin of greasy meat and vegetables, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud, and when they hurriedly went to report the good news, when they turned around, coldly, two cold sharp blades crossed their throats.

Before they could scream, their mouths and noses were already covered.

Everything that happened on the palace wall was silent, and on the road, the waiter flicked his sleeves with a sad face, and a smell of swill dispersed with the splashing droplets.

At this time, he tried to find someone who was connected with his fate, because this might make him feel better, so he raised his eyes to look at the king of Chu.

The king of Chu and the princess of Chu stood far away, and even the splashing water droplets did not stain their robes.

"How can this be ......"

"I forgot to tell my little father-in-law just now," Xue Jinyi said embarrassedly, squinting at the guards who heard the movement and ran over, "Just now the king of Chu and the jade pendant on my waist were entangled together, so I stopped and untied it, and fortunately, I was able to avoid this rancid water that fell from the sky." ”

She couldn't touch it, but she could smell it.

"......" the waiter wants to cry without tears, but he can't say that he hopes that the king of Chu and his wife will suffer the same.

When the guards arrived, Xue Jinyi looked up at the sky, "Where did this water come from?" ”

If Ai Yun hadn't taken her to avoid it in time, this rancid water would have been splashed all over her face, and she would definitely have to go and wash up properly, and then a group of people would have gathered around Ai Yun, trying to poke that this was a disguise technique, and it would have been easy.

Could it really be that Shen Qingmo used the spies in the court and palace to ambush him to make such a temptation?

On the palace wall, there was no human figure, as if those rancid waters appeared out of thin air.

The guards drove away the stinking chamberlain, and one of them said: "The villain will thoroughly investigate where this rancid water came from, and ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Princess Chu to continue to the Imperial Garden." ”

Another person stood up and said that he would lead the way for the king of Chu.

Ai Yun nodded very coldly.

The group bypassed the rancid water on the ground and continued on their way.

With the splattering of water just now, Xue Jinyi and Ai Yun were more cautious.

If someone insists on finding out the truth or falsehood, it will definitely not be the only trick.

However, they had come a long way, and finally came to the door of a moon cave that led to the Imperial Garden, and nothing strange happened to them.

The lights here are finally brighter, the lights are shining like stars, some are reflected on the surface of the lake, like whitebait swimming, and the bright moon in the night is very beautiful.

They continued to walk forward until they came to the pavilion near the lake, where only the palace maid waited, and no one else came.

The maid led them to the table at the bottom of the right hand of the main seat, sat down, and then served tea.

Ai Yun drank it first, and after trying that there was no problem, he gave Xue Jinyi a look.

Xue Jinyi took a sip of tea slowly, and when the smell of tea was still lingering between her lips and teeth, someone came again.

Fan Zhaoyi brought the four princes she gave birth to, smiled lukewarmly at Xue Jinyi and nodded, and then asked the four princes to call people.

The fourth prince called very obediently: "Big brother, sister-in-law is good." ”

Before the words fell, a voice full of sneers came, "Yo, this big brother is really rare?" ”
