Chapter 180 Raise your hand and carry it away!
As the singing and dancing started, the banquet seemed to have a lively atmosphere, but looking at the stiff bodies of several people, Xiao Li knew that they must be eating like nothing and sitting on pins and needles at this moment.
Obviously those two times just scared them.
But she has never been a benevolent person like a polite corporal, nor will she pretend to be hypocritical to deceive others' allegiance.
To stand in her camp, you have to know clearly what kind of master you are following, what kind of things you want to do, and what consequences you will have to endure for betrayal.
Although she is cruel, she does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. If they don't even have the courage to face her, they are not worthy of being under her command.
After the song, the dancer faded away, and the hall became temporarily quiet.
Xiao Li spoke slowly: "There was a lot of talk before about the husband selection banquet. I am too lazy to talk to them. But today, I have chosen a few of you, and I still have to explain a few words to you."
< br>
"Your Majesty has given this princess three states as fiefdoms. I asked people to go around the fiefdoms. I am very dissatisfied with the management of the fiefdoms, so I want to select a group of knowledgeable and capable people from the capital to take them away to manage the fiefdoms."
"You have answered those papers, and if you can be selected by me, you must understand what kind of governance ideas I want. I can give the greatest power to you and let you use your talents. The only bad thing is probably that the fiefdom is a little far away from the capital. Far away.”
"Of course, I am not such an unreasonable person. All the selected people will be given a thousand taels of gold. As for whether you choose to follow this princess, you have three days to consider."
Tang Shuyu and Lin Yici looked at each other and saw movement in each other's eyes.
Although their goal is to become officials in the court and get ahead, the capital city is so divided that they can't see their future. If they can follow the princess to govern a state, and even do it according to their own ideas, they can't help but be tempted.
"Princess."
Tang Shuyu stood up with a scorching gaze: "Tang Shuyu, ordinary citizen, does the princess really mean what she says?"
As expected of a stubborn scholar from a poor family, he opened his mouth to ask questions, but his courage is worth appreciating.
Xiao Li: "What I can guarantee is that I keep my word. The rest will be proven by time."
She raised her glass with a smile: "Life is a big gamble, Tang Shuyu, do you dare to make a bet?"
Tang Shuyu looked at her blankly. Before he could react, Xiao Li had already drunk and left, taking King Wei away with him.
Song Junzhan stood up with a slight smile on his face: "Don't be nervous, everyone. The princess appreciates you, but she never does anything to force others. Let's eat and drink well today, and think about it slowly when we go back. In three days, Song will be waiting for you at the gate of the princess's mansion. colleagues.”
The young and gloomy Shi Mo looked up at him: "Why did the young master choose to become a staff member of the princess's mansion?"
Song Junzhan wanted to revive the imperial examination, but he couldn't do it alone. He had to win over supporters, especially those from poor families, and Shi Mo was one of them.
Tang Shuyu and Lin Yici came to participate on their own, but Shi Mo was notified by Song Junzhan. Before coming, he had no idea that Song Junzhan was already from the Princess Mansion.
Although it was a good thing to be selected, he would also wonder about Song Junzhan's intentions. Did he give up and not prepare for the imperial examination?
Song Junzhan looked at him with a hint of seriousness in his smile: "I am fortunate enough to meet the princess as Bole. I regard her as my master and will follow her to the death."
The word Bole was enough for Shi Mo to understand.
——
King Wei's food was taken away after only a few bites, and he was very resentful.
Xiao Li was speechless: "Your majestic prince still lacks food?"
Xiao Jingyi said confidently: "There is no shortage, but it is not so rich. The imperial sister has already served it. It would be a waste not to eat."
Xiao Li was convinced and asked someone to serve the table again so that he could eat as much as he could.
Xiao Jingyi sighed again, the imperial sister really loves him the most. Look, he can eat all the food and leave it at the same table. Not to mention King Yanping and others, even His Majesty has never enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Then, when the emperor sent someone to invite Xiao Li, Xiao Jingyi unfaithfully chose to live and die with the food.
"Sister Huang, go ahead. I'll look after the food for you. It'll be absolutely fine." Xiao Li: "."
Oh, she ran away to be scolded, and he stayed here to eat delicious food. It was a beautiful idea.
Raise your hand and carry it away!
Xiao Jingyi almost wanted to cry: My big abalone, my shark fin soup, and Ganoderma simmered chicken soup~~~~~~
There’s no way to enjoy this meal, right? ——
Xiao Li had just beaten Xiao Jinzhao's brother and sister. When he entered the palace, he was not surprised to see Concubine Hui sitting in the palace with a cold face.
Seeing Xiao Li's arrival, Concubine Hui swiped at her with her knife eyes, wishing she could cut her into pieces.
"Brother Royal."
Xiao Li was about to receive the gift, but the emperor couldn't wait any longer and asked, "I heard that you beat King Yanping and Jiaruo?"
Xiao Li: "I didn't invite them, but they came to my mansion and laughed at me at my banquet. Shouldn't they be beaten?"
Concubine Hui slammed the table and shouted angrily: "He is your brother. You disrespect your brother and are cruel and lawless."
Xiao Li: "My only brother is Your Majesty. Who is he worthy of my admiration? He is still lawless. He came to laugh at me. I didn't beat him to death because of my kindness!"
Concubine Hui suddenly stood up, with full aura and arrogance: "You are simply too arrogant. I will teach you a lesson today on behalf of the late emperor."
Xiao Li took his time and glanced at her calmly: "Concubine Hui is just a concubine, not to mention the Queen Mother. She is not even a noble concubine, and she is trying to replace the late emperor. The following offends the superior, does not know the inferiority of the emperor, and blasphemes the late emperor. It should be done Kill!”
"Poof!"
Xiao Jingyi, who laughed out loud, quickly covered his mouth and carefully shrank behind the pillar. The imperial sister was killing everyone, but she couldn't harm Chi Yu.
Concubine Hui was already very angry, but Xiao Li's words, 'I don't even get to be a concubine' were even more heartbreaking, and she was so angry that she almost fainted.
The confidant next to her supported her, patted her back, and wanted to reprimand her. However, when her eyes fell on Xiao Li, her open mouth immediately closed.
This person is not easy to mess with. Princess Xuanyang wants to kill her, but even Concubine Hui can't save her.
The emperor was shocked and helpless as he watched Xiao Li almost become angry to death with just a few words.
"They just want to see you choose a husband, why do you have to do this?"
The emperor was the legitimate son of the Queen Mother, so he didn't care much about Xiao Li's scolding of Princess Hui, since the knife didn't fall on him anyway.
Xiao Li took Xiao Jingyi out and said, "Tell me."
King Wei: "." He knew it.
Being a witness at the scene is something that happens once and then becomes familiar again.
"Brother Huang, I really don't blame the emperor for this matter. They didn't let anyone inform them and went directly to the banquet. Before they even entered the door, they laughed at the emperor for choosing a husband. Jia Ruo also said that the emperor was making trouble for a long time. They are sincerely looking for trouble. Should the imperial sister still welcome them with a smile and invite them to sit down for a meal? "
After speaking, he also gave an example: "You see, why is the eldest brother okay when we go together? The imperial sister was originally going to invite the eldest brother to the table, but the eldest brother and the others had no choice but to refuse in order to escort King Yan Ping."
"Why does the imperial sister only target King Yanping but not the eldest brother? This is obviously not the emperor's fault. The reason should be found on them."
What Xiao Jingyi said was so sincere, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. It made sense.
Although he came uninvited, and although he also felt that those few were a bit crooked and unworthy of the imperial sister, he was her most beloved brother, and he was not on the same level as King Yanping.
King Wei felt like a villain with his hands on his hips and said arrogantly and proudly: I am the younger brother of the emperor's sister, and I am not on the same level as you!
