Chapter 443 Melon Field
Jixiang is going to investigate this matter, so Xiaorui has to accompany Su Qingqing to the palace banquet tonight.
After finishing her makeup, Xiao Rui felt a little nervous and her palms were sweating as she held the handkerchief.
Su Qingqing saw her uneasy look and said with a smile, "We're having a banquet in our own palace, why are you so nervous?"
Xiao Rui's face was tense. "Oh my god, Master, I'm so nervous! Madam Xu is unconscious, and Sister Jixiang is busy and away. If something happens tonight, I'll be the only one left. I'm afraid my eyes and brain won't be able to keep up."
It would be fine if Su Qingqing wasn't pregnant. She is very strong and even if others have bad intentions, they may not be able to do anything to her.
It just so happened that Su Qingqing was not only pregnant, but also about to give birth. If she was stimulated at all, she would easily suffer a miscarriage. And among the people who came together this time, there was Yu Yang.
Su Qingqing smiled and tapped Xiao Rui's forehead. "Don't worry, it's okay. We've already solved the floods in Guangdong and Guangxi and the food shortage in the northwest. What could possibly happen in my own palace now? What could be more exciting than those two? I'm pretty stable here too. It's okay."
Besides, it’s not certain who should be nervous.
"If you want to be nervous, you might as well be nervous about whether the thing I asked you to arrange is going well."
Su Qingqing brought back a little girl from Guangdong and Guangxi before. She has been training her to sing and dance, just to give someone a surprise at the banquet tonight .
Originally, Jixiang was responsible for watching the girl, but now Jixiang wanted to catch the group of people behind Jiao Xing'er, so the task fell on Xiaorui's shoulders.
Xiao Rui shook her head, "It's nothing, don't worry, Madam, it will be handled properly."
As long as it does not involve Su Qingqing's personal safety, Xiao Rui can handle it with ease. Once it involves Su Qingqing, Xiao Rui can't do it and her mind is in chaos.
As she spoke, Xiao Rui helped Su Qingqing walk out. Fortunately, just as they reached the door of the bedroom, Rong Que came to pick them up and handed Su Qingqing to Rong Que. Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the most grand banquet Rong Que had held since he ascended the throne. The entire banquet hall almost included envoys from all the neighboring countries of the Great Yan Kingdom.
Although Zhao State was weak, it was arranged to be opposite to Da Qi because of Su Qingqing's relationship.
As the prince of Zhao State, Su Heng naturally sat at the front. The envoys next to him were not the ones who arrived at the Great Yan Dynasty with him at the beginning. Instead, they were selected by the Emperor of Zhao State according to the invitation letter sent by the Great Yan State after Su Qingqing sent someone to deliver the letter.
Mo Duo did not change his appearance. He was just his original self, wearing a guard's uniform, and standing behind Su Heng.
Opposite him was the Great Qi delegation, and the atmosphere was like a funeral.
Prince Teng's gaze fell on Moduo like a knife.
At that time, Wang Yunli told him that Moduo was alive, but he didn't believe it. But now, seeing the living Moduo with his own eyes, Prince Teng felt as if his internal organs had fallen into the ice storage!
My mind is filled with only three words: Impossible!
When Moduo died, it was he and the legitimate princess of Da Qi who took care of everything. He watched the whole process, from how the body was embalmed to how the coffin was buried, for fear that Moduo would play any tricks.
At that time, he personally locked the door of the tomb passage. Due to the mechanism, the door of the tomb passage could not be opened at all.
Over the years, I have never heard of any trouble happening in the imperial mausoleum.
How did Moduo survive?
Is this person in front of me the real Moduo or is someone trying to play a prank and have someone pretend to be Moduo?
A courtier beside Prince Teng couldn't help himself and asked in a trembling voice, "Prince, that's... that's him, right?"
The muscles at Prince Teng's cheekbones twitched. He wanted to say that this person was not him, but he couldn't say it.
Clenching his fists tightly, Prince Teng looked towards Su Heng, "The guard behind Your Highness looks familiar to me. I wonder if he is..."
He decided to take the initiative.
Su Heng used a bamboo skewer to pick up a small piece of cantaloupe and put it in his mouth. There was an innocent smile in his eyes. He tilted his head to look at Prince Teng, "Your Highness, don't you know him? I thought you all knew him. Tsk, alright, let me introduce him to you."
Su Heng suddenly raised his voice when he said the last sentence, attracting the attention of the envoy from the neighboring country sitting next to him.
With the commotion here, the people sitting a little further away gradually realized what was happening here, so the noisy hall became quiet and everyone looked at Su Heng.
Su Heng was now satisfied. He ate the whole piece of cantaloupe with a smile, then slowly wiped his hands with the white handkerchief beside him and said, "This is the former crown prince of Da Qi, Mo Duo. Would you like to introduce him to the officials of Da Qi? I never thought that one day, your crown prince would have to be introduced to you by me. Hey, this is magical."
Su Heng himself said he was careless.
Mo Duo stood behind him with a hint of indulgence in his smile. He said nothing and didn't even glance at the envoy from Da Qi.
However, the already silent hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
At this moment, Yu Yang quietly said to the person next to him: "I'm going to the toilet."
The envoy from the Great Qi standing next to him was already stunned by what was happening before his eyes. He didn't care about Yu Yang at all and ignored him. Yu Yang tried to keep his voice down and left the room.
As he was moving, Su Heng said, "Back then, your Da Qi's legitimate princess was too ambitious and couldn't tolerate her half-brother~~"
Su Heng's voice was filled with frivolous teasing, but his half-sister caused the entire hall to fall into dead silence before erupting into a roar.
In such a shock, who would still notice whether Yu Yang left the table or not.
Noticing that Yu Yang had already left the hall, Su Heng withdrew his half-concealed gaze and smiled at Prince Teng, saying, "Do you think the Emperor of Da Qi knows that the legitimate princess he loves might not be his child?"
boom!!!!!!!
If the discussion that just broke out was a roar, then the sound now was thunder, rolling thunder.
Xiao Rui stood outside the hall, and all the nervousness she had felt along the way disappeared.
She was now like a desperate badger, wanting to jump into the melon field in the hall.
However, His Majesty and His Majesty seemed to have no . They stood in the corridor, snuggling together and looking up at the stars.
In the main hall.
Under Su Heng's bombardment, Prince Teng's dark face finally regained a trace of blood, and his mind became clear. He slammed the table and scolded Su Heng angrily.
"You rely on your sister being the empress of the Great Yan Dynasty to act so recklessly? The reputation of the Great Qi Dynasty is not something you can trample underfoot."
Su Heng raised his eyebrows, "Did I trample on the reputation of your Great Qi, or did Prince Teng and your Great Qi Emperor's sister-in-law, who is now the Queen, team up to trample on it?
how?
You can do the thing, so why can't I just be a porter and tell it?
Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone! "
He Chao sat aside, looking at Su Heng with satisfaction. What a teachable boy!
