Chapter 120 What kind of cousin and cousin are these?
"Miss Ji, the eldest princess, please come and sit down."
This is the first time Ji Qingwu has seen Li Yuzong, what do you think? How pleasing to the eye, even the folds on his face felt particularly friendly.
She was worried about having no way to avoid these overly enthusiastic ladies and nodded hurriedly.
Seeing that Li Yuzong, who was waiting in front of the emperor, came to invite him personally, the ladies did not dare to stop him.
But the lady who was holding Ji Qingwu's arm was still unwilling to give up, and spoke quickly: "Miss Ji, that's it! I'll take my dog with me to visit Ji Mansion tomorrow."
When the appointment was made, Ji Qingwu really didn’t know.
But the most important thing right now was to escape from the encirclement. She said a few casual words and ran away.
Li Yuzong led the way, walking very fast along the way, and she followed quietly.
After walking around half of the venue, Ji Qingwufu looked up and found that they had reached the foot of the high platform filled with flags and ceremonial flags. After going up more than a dozen white stone steps, they were about to reach the emperor. in front of me.
Ji Qingwu originally thought that Princess Huachang was looking for her to find out about taking the Prince Consort's pulse last night, so she should find a private place.
She stopped hesitantly and said, "Eunuch Li, where is the eldest princess?"
Li Yuzong turned around and said, "The eldest princess is sitting on the table, Miss Ji. Go with the old slave quickly, the Holy Princess is impatient. "
This is the time to leave the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den again.
Who doesn't know that the imperial concubine in the palace is the most favored by the emperor. Just now, Ji Qingwu made Emperor Wu Su's favorite concubine unhappy. If he got angry because of this.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, but now she couldn't help but think about the strange feeling in her heart.
As soon as Ji Qingwu walked onto the stage, she felt a lot of appraising eyes falling on her, but none of them could compare to the one from above her head, which made her scalp feel tight.
Following the rules, she bowed to Emperor Wu Su first.
“Get up.”
Ji Qingwu stood up as ordered. When he raised his head, his eyes met with the person sitting on the throne for a moment.
There is a warm sun in front of her body in a green dress, and the light in her eyes is like the clear clouds soaked in spring water in a small pond.
The arrow she bent down and dismounted from her horse fully demonstrated the woman's strength and beauty. Her soft and flexible waist had been hidden by loose clothes.
Ji Qingwu did not look at the emperor much, and moved his eyes to the seat next to the throne, where a small table was temporarily added.
The person sitting at the small table is Concubine Wei.
Wei Liru had already changed into a crimson palace dress. She raised her chin and looked down at Ji Qingwu.
"Miss Ji is the niece of the Queen Mother and the Emperor's cousin. Logically speaking, I should also call her cousin. The performance of the fifth cousin on the court today was really surprising."
< br>Surprise?
Ji Qingwu's eyes flashed. Concubine Wei was very angry in the audience just now. She was frightened and angry.
It seems that in this palace, everyone has to cultivate multiple faces, and even Wei Liru, who was born in a noble family and has a family, is not immune.
However, if we analyze Concubine Wei's words carefully, they seem to be bringing her closer to each other, but in fact they are reminding the emperor that Ji Qingwu is a member of the Queen Mother's mother's family and the daughter of a foreign relative.
Ji Qingwu understood where Concubine Wei's hostility came from.
Before Ji Qingwu could reply, Princess Huachang said directly: "Miss Ji is a distinguished guest invited by this palace. Come and sit here."
Ji Qingwu nodded, He walked briskly and just sat down, but his butt was not yet hot from sitting.
Concubine Wei still refused to let her go, as if she wanted to regain the face she had lost off the court.
She smiled and said: "I am shameless and consider myself my cousin-in-law for once. The wine in my hand is aged wine produced in the cellars of Langyatai. The wine in Langyatai is fragrant and has the reputation of amber in the wine. I would like to treat Miss Ji to a drink." A glass of wine.”
First he praised her, and then he wanted to invite her to drink and treat her like a cousin. Concubine Wei raised her lips and smiled at her, her eyes filled with joy, and she was raising a glass to invite her.
Ji Qingwu's eyes shifted to the "cousin" next to him. As soon as he turned his eyes, he caught him, and there was a depth in his eyes that she couldn't clearly see.
She thought angrily, what kind of cousin is this? The cousin who hugged her to keep her warm last night?
Ji Qingwu moved his gaze away, intending to be out of sight and out of mind.
She knew very well what level of drinking she had. Two glasses of fruit wine would make her blush, let alone this strong drink, which would make her unconscious as soon as she drank it.
Ji Qingwu’s words of rejection were on his lips.
The eldest princess of Huachang suddenly said: "Is it possible that Concubine Wei got drunk and got confused? If you want Miss Ji to call you cousin, are you a serious sister-in-law?"
Huachang The eldest princess knew what Concubine Wei was thinking.
The wines served on the Langya stage were all pure spirits. Ji Qingwu would feel dizzy after just one sip, let alone a whole glass, but Concubine Wei was famous for her good drinker.
Wei Liru originally planned to use her status as the emperor's concubine to provoke Ji Qingwu and test her thoughts about the emperor.
When Princess Huachang suddenly said this, I felt that I had made a mistake.
Only the queen can legitimately be called sister-in-law.
She looked at the emperor's face hesitantly and said aggrievedly: "Did I overstep my bounds?"
Emperor Wu Su then raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Wei beside him, with a cold look in his eyes.
Concubine Wei quickly apologized and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I made an unintentional mistake."
Emperor Wu Su took the wine glass from her hand and placed it heavily on the case.
The expression is cold, but the words are caring: "This wine is too strong. Drinking too much will harm your health. Some people like to show off their strength, and they will act daringly when they are drunk."
A lot of sects After hearing this, the relatives laughed.
An older woman joked: "The relationship between the Emperor and Concubine Wei is so good. I feel sorry for the concubine who is not feeling well after drinking too much."
Wei Liru's face first showed shyness.
After listening to Emperor Wu Su's words, she slowly came back to her senses, and her expression began to solidify.
She has a great capacity for drinking and can never get drunk after a thousand drinks. She has never been drunk since she could remember, so she wanted to have a drinking contest with Ji Qingwu to win back the victory.
The person the emperor was talking about was not her.
Who dared to act recklessly in front of Emperor Wu Su after being drunk?
Wei Liru’s eyes changed several times.
The eldest princess of Huachang called the little eunuch behind her and said: "Remove the wine glass in front of Miss Ji and replace it with ancient Dian rose wine."
Wait for Ji Qingwu to lower his head and take a sip. After drinking rose wine, the emperor's complexion improved.
The competition in the audience was fierce.
Except Yuchi Lianping.
As soon as he reached the shooting gap, he looked up on the high platform, and what he saw was naturally the eldest princess in white clothes.
His actions have long attracted the attention of everyone on the stage.
The clan members opposite saw Yuchi Lianping like this and smiled and told an interesting story.
“It has been many years since I saw Huachang’s prince-in-law compete. I remember that he has superb archery skills and is a rare martial arts wizard.”
Emperor Wu Su seemed to have thought of something, nodded and said: "What the old marquis said is right."
