Senior Servant Gui knelt by the empress dowager's side and wailed.
The Empress Mother seemed not to hear. She only stared at the orb on the plate for a long time before she picked one up and held it up to the light.
There was still a feast and dance going on in front of the palace. Several princes from the feudal fiefdom had returned, and the feast of the cold food festival had continued. She had already returned to her bedroom to admire the little pearl. Like glass, it was softer than glass and brighter than glass. There were actually seven different colors arranged on the jade plate, emitting a strong fragrance.
"Can this thing really restore a person's youth?"
She threw one of them into the bowl of water and mumbled to herself as she watched the water surface quickly create a mist and spray it into the air. She narrowed her eyes, reached her hand in, received the mist, and then gently kneaded it with her hand.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, King Xiao left just like that. He's too arrogant, and doesn't put you in his eyes at all. It looks like he's slapping his slave, or slapping your face …"
Senior Servant Gui saw that she wasn't listening to him at all, so she hastily poured more barrels of boiling oil over the empress dowager's head in an attempt to ignite the empress dowager's flames.
But the empress dowager was immersed in the joy of being with the pearl. After a long time, she slowly said, "What's there to be afraid of if I let him beat you up? If he let you live, then it would be giving me a lot of face." You said that he was carrying Yu Yan? "
"Yes, let Yu Yan sit on his crippled leg!" Senior Servant Gui hurriedly said.
The empress dowager's phoenix eyes slanted to the side as she muttered to herself, "Gui Yun, did you see the look Prince Qi had towards Yu Yan today?"
Senior Servant Gui saw that she was in no mood to care about this, so she could only wipe away her tears, bend her head over, and say with her doggy legs, "This servant has found out. King Qi's eyes are fixed on her, and he's even raging!"
"Also, when this servant went to find the King Xiao today, I actually found King Qi coming out of Yu Yan's room! It seemed that before the King Xiao entered, King Qi was already inside. This servant asked the palace maid that was waiting outside, and she was the one who was chased away by King Qizhi, who then personally brought the palace maid into the room and stayed there for a long time. Yu Yan did not call anyone and looked peaceful, but in reality, she had many connections.
"Mm, This Dowager already knew who she was. Her small appearance is indeed very alluring." The Empress Dowager smiled and tossed another orb into the bowl. This time she stuck her face out into the mist, lifted her face, and enjoyed it with her eyes closed. After a while, the mist disappeared, and she gently rubbed her face.
"This Dowager knows King Qi very well. If it were not for him, he would not have approached King Qi on his own initiative. I'm afraid that Yu Yan might have piqued his interest. You let Suyi keep a close eye on King Qizhi, let Lord Tong send her to the palace to wait upon her. Then, send the White Peacock to Yu Yan, just say it's King Qi's idea. "
"The empress dowager is wise." Gui Yun gave a big thumbs up with a flattering look.
"What does Imperial Mother mean by this, to give Yu Yan to King QI?" Yu Tianqi's voice suddenly came from outside and the hall door was suddenly pushed open.
How long had Yu Tianqi been listening outside? His Majesty quickly put away the pearl and turned to look at the door.
Yu Tianqi walked in with big strides, his body wrapped in alcohol, staring straight at the empress dowager.
Her Majesty felt her scalp go numb as she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you're drunk."
"I'm drunk. I've never thought that there would be a day when I would fall out with you, Imperial Mother." He sat down, his eyes still staring at her, and continued, "I have never thought, the Queen Mother had always been scheming against me, and I do not have many things I want in my life, I just want Yu Yan, what does the Queen Mother's hundred percent obstruction mean?"
"Why do you blame This Dowager if you want to be taken to the palace yourself? "If you drink too much, I won't bother with you. Go out."
The empress dowager was also angry. She sat down and turned her head to the side.
"If it wasn't for you stopping me earlier, I would have long since taken him into the palace. Now that he's back, how would I be able to receive him?" Snatch it? make the people of the world laugh? " Yu Tianqi laughed coldly, and turned his face away.
"You have no future. You are still an emperor after all. You have made life difficult for a woman time and time again. This Dowager is the one who gave birth to you and raised you. What is she? You want her, you fight for her, you let the person who should have disappeared disappear again, you get her. " The empress dowager's red lips rose as she mocked.
"There's no need for the empress dowager to say more. The empress dowager only needs to keep this in mind and not try to capture her again. This is Zhen's final warning to you. In three days, Zhen will bring her to the palace. At that time, mother, please do not obstruct her." Yu Tianqi suddenly stood up and walked out.
"Killing is better than formless. The emperor isn't ruthless enough. Those who aren't ruthless enough won't be able to sit still in this mountain and get what they want. After the emperor wakes up, think about it carefully." He is just a paralyzed child, why can he still sit with such dignity in the imperial court? You are the emperor, how can you not be a paralyzed child? " The Empress Dowager looked at his back and scolded him harshly.
Yu Tianqi slowly turned his head, his scarlet eyes filled with killing intent, causing others to tremble in fear.
Senior Servant Gui was kneeling on the ground. She closed her eyes and covered her ears with all her might. Her forehead was pressed against the ground, trembling.
"Thank you mother for your teachings, but mother's schemes will be less useful in the future. It will be better to enjoy old age peacefully, so as to not hurt your mind or body and to not hurt others."
Yu Tianqi slowly withdrew his gaze, flicked his sleeves and left.
"I'm so angry." Her Majesty clutched at her chest and slumped back in her chair, gasping for breath.
"Empress Dowager, don't breathe. The emperor is drunk." Senior Servant Gui hurriedly stood up and rubbed her back.
"Yes, Gui Yun, go and do what This Dowager just said." The Empress Dowager shook her head and had no intention of playing with Suizhu any longer. She let Gui Yun down and went to lie on the bed by herself, with the palace doors shut tight against the irritating sound of the music.
Senior Servant Gui, covered in cold sweat, walked out. She heaved a long sigh of relief, wiped her forehead, muttered some vague curses and left.
Yu Tianqi returned to the front of the hall. Nie Wang, Chi Wang and the others were drinking wine, and each of them had a few charming beauties in their arms. His eyes were hazy and hazy. He had been drunk out of his mind.
The border battles were like a rain of blood. The nobles could also eat and drink to their heart's content!
"King Qi, what wine is this? Are you that strong?" Nie Wang staggered, then raised his wine bottle and placed it in front of Sulanqi.
"Drunk or in a dream." Sulanqi leaned on the chair, where two beauties were massaging his legs and shoulders. He did not get up, but raised his wine bottle towards Nie Wang and drank from it.
"That paralytic brat is really depressing. He used to be crazy, but now he's even more crazy. He actually abandoned us and ran away just like that." King Nie turned his head to look at Yu Tianqi and shouted, "Royal brother, why didn't you punish him for his disrespect? He thought he was a former wargod? Hmph, you still have the face to return after being defeated! Look at his ugly appearance. He even married five beauties that are like flowers and jade-like jades. This is such a waste. Why don't you give Little Wang the care and care of those girls! "
The hall burst into laughter, but only Sulanqi did not laugh, and only stared at him.
As he turned his head, he saw a white figure slowly approaching from outside the hall. Closer up, there was actually a lion with a head full of pure white fur, but no one had seen such a lion before. It was white and huge.
"King Qi, did you also bring this?" Someone asked Sulanqi.
Sulanqi was also shocked, to think that they would actually see such a male lion. Before she could even make a sound, the white lion suddenly pounced over, like a ray of white light, it streaked past everyone's head and pounced towards Nie Wang.
With a terrible howl, Nie Wang was pressed down by the lion. Its sharp claws viciously slapped his face, instantly, the smell of blood filled the entire hall. Nie Wang immediately fainted from the pain.
"Quick, catch it!" Yu Tianqi jumped up and pointed at the lion.
The guards encircled him, but the lion only slowly let go of Nie Wang. It shook its head, let out a long roar, and chased after them.
Like a white wind, like a flash of lightning, it leapt up the tree, jumped up the high wall, and at last reached the roof of the opposite palace.
"Archers!" Someone shouted.
Don't move an arrow. This Emperor wants this. Yu Tianqi bellowed, and all the guards immediately flew up and followed suit.
"The White Lion... "It's too amazing. It would be great if we could get it." Sulanqi walked out slowly, raised her head and looked in the direction of the lion, filled with regret.
"What is the White Lion?" Yu Tianqi asked.
"It's a strange mountain in the sea. The warriors of my Xuanleng had the good fortune to go up once and see this kind of lion. It's a pity that we can't catch it. Sulanqi laughed, and turned her head to look. The guards were currently walking down the steps with the face of the badly scratched King Nie, and whispered, "I wonder if the face of the King Nie can be cured …"
"Are you saying that this is Yulixiao's lion?" Yu Tianqi was shocked.
Just how many unimaginable secrets did Yulixiao bring back? Miraculous girl, Jiangnan's richest daughter, lion, and his insolent arrogance that never faded …
What in the world was he trying to do, to be so aggressive and provoke? Declaration war? Demonstration? Or a warning?
The cold light in Yu Tianqi's eyes intensified as he clenched his fists.
The alcohol in the hall had all dispersed. Everyone came over and looked in the direction of the palace.
When Yulixiao and his group reached the city, Yu Yan and Chen Yao were sitting in his carriage, and Chen Yao had used her cape to cover her legs.
Yu Yan had seen this kind of silk covering his body before in the Fuan Silk Satin Store. It cost one tael of gold per third of a foot, and was said to be woven from cold silk, which was three years old before this kind of silkworm appeared from the cocoon. The silk color of the silk was gorgeous, and the feel of it was soft and smooth, unlike any other silk.
Yulixiao was truly rich, how could he not be hostile to others?
Yu Yan carefully pulled her wet hair back so that no water would drip onto his gorgeous silk clothing.
"Yu Yan, are you really alright? You didn't choke when you fell like that? " Chen Yao turned her head again, and looked at her quietly.
"I'm fine." Yu Yan shook her head.
"In the water, you are most afraid of being dragged by others. Today, thanks to King Qi saving you in time, do you and King Qi recognize each other? When he lifted you out of the water, you were out of breath and scared the hell out of us. " Chen Yao said gently.
"I don't recognize him." Yu Yan still shook her head, she continued to wipe the water on her hair with the brocade handkerchief. She had good hair, soft and smooth like this silk.
"The empress dowager really does like you. Your hairpins are all tributes. Here, I've found them for you. Keep them well. It's a good thing you didn't break them." Chen Yao smiled and handed a hairpin over.
Yulixiao had been staring at her the entire time. Only now did he finally say lightly: "Chen Yao, go and send out some notes. Invite Sulanqi to your house tomorrow."
"Yes." Chen Yao pursed her lips and laughed, leaning onto his arm, her fingers lifted the curtains and said softly: "You, just love to be angry, you should be going back by this time in October, right?"
"Go to Mingyue Che, I have something to talk to Yu Yan about." Yulixiao frowned, and said indifferently.
