Chapter 1383 The Foolish Empress 6
Looking at the empress' words and expressions, there was no pretense or pretense. Even when she called herself, she did not say "I" but changed it to "I".
King Duan couldn't help but speculate that the eldest princess had always made things clear since she was a child. Was it really not her who sent someone to assassinate her?
Looking at her sincere smile, her eyebrows resembled his. Everyone used to say that among the late emperor's princes, the eldest son was the best-looking, and among the princesses, the eldest princess was the most beautiful. Because the late emperor's eyebrows were the most delicate and the others were ordinary, the eldest princess and the eldest son had the most similar eyebrows and other parts were like their respective mothers, so they were even more beautiful and could be called the best among men.
Looking at what she was wearing, except for the towering bun, there were four dragon and phoenix hairpins on the left and right that could only be worn by empresses. The emerald green dress embroidered with pink hibiscus flowers was just like that of a noble lady.
Her tall figure and slender waist make ordinary clothes stand out.
It would be a pity if he killed him, as he is a sister of the same blood... King Duan somewhat believed that the empress did not send anyone to assassinate him.
King Duan couldn't help but express his feelings: "It's bitterly cold in Dayan, but most of them practice martial arts and horse riding, and develop their body to survive the severe cold. After I left, I was a blessing in disguise, and I grew a lot... Your Majesty has grown up too!"< br>
When leaving, as the master of the body, I also sent him off and asked someone to prepare a sable cloak. That was also someone else's idea, and he said it out of love for his eldest brother. At that time, they had a brief meeting before leaving. Because they wanted to avoid suspicion, they used the late emperor's excuse and said it was the late emperor's will, so he had not yet ascended the throne.
The owner of the body is only thirteen years old. The owner of the body wears a bun with double rings and still looks childish. In the past five years, a lot has changed.
What, this is really disrespectful, you really think you are your brother. A concubine, without the courtesy of a king and a minister? The steward next to him lowered his head, not daring to raise his head, and secretly rolled his eyes at Prince Duan.
Xi Ning didn't care about this. This was the true expression of his sincerity. King Duan missed the brother and sister's feelings. That's good, there may be more people alive. You must know that now the enemy is strong and we are weak, and there is a huge disparity in military strength. King Duan may change his mind at any time. With an order, the people hiding around him will jump out and kill them quickly.
Xining smiled even more, but then put it away and sighed slightly. He immediately raised his hand and went to the side to invite him: "Brother Emperor, he must be hungry like me. Please take a seat quickly."
Prince Duan also noticed his rudeness and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this. An empress said something about whether she was hungry or not. It seemed that the eldest princess was still the same as before, speaking freely and saying whatever she wanted from time to time.
The two sat face to face and looked like ordinary siblings, which surprised King Duan a little. I originally thought that in accordance with the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, one person per table. It was obvious that the empress really regarded him as a brother and ate at the same table.
All the tableware and chopsticks on the table are made of silver, just for appearance, these meals will not be poisoned.
After sitting down, the dishes are served one by one, but before serving, a eunuch standing next to him will pick up a pair of silver chopsticks on each tray, take a bite of the dish, put it into his mouth, and then use the silver chopsticks in the same way. Place on tray. After trying it, the palace maid put the dishes on the table.
King Duan looked at the pair of used silver chopsticks on the tray, and then saw the tried dishes on the table. He couldn't help but think to himself, I don't know who came up with this idea. It was very thoughtful.
Xi Ning picked up the silver chopsticks: "Brother, you are welcome, just treat yourself as if you are at home. Just ask them to do whatever you want to eat, and I will eat first."
After saying that, he picked up a peeled lotus seed with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Lotus seed means connecting the hearts, and King Duan's brows jumped. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a slight surge in his heart. Although he encountered many mishaps after the empress ascended the throne, it was hard to say that it was caused by the people below and she didn't know about it. Before he came to the throne, he was more generous to him than his other brothers and sisters. When they met, he never looked down upon his humble background.
King Duan also picked up a lotus seed and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly, his handsome face softened. Xi Ning saw it clearly. This was a blessing. The owner was mediocre, and the ugly one was just a vase. In daily life, she has no special strengths. Fortunately, she has a good teacher who teaches her kindness.
The Chen Dynasty had been established for more than a hundred years, and the time for military force to conquer the world had long passed. After settling down, of course we will govern the world with benevolence and filial piety. A generous and kind heir is far more popular than a violent heir.
Therefore, for the other emperor's heirs, as the eldest princess, she is quite good and has never been sarcastic. If it doesn't work, there are people who can help make it right. She was scolded a few times for stealing grapes that time, and she was given the idea to secretly send food to her.
It's a pity that the emperor's master was too old and died too early. Otherwise, with his advice, the body owner would be much better off. Don't listen to the idiot's words, corner Prince Duan, and get yourself into such a mess.
Another dish came up. Xining pointed at it with his chopsticks and shouted, "Brother, this is delicious. I remember that you love to eat meat cut with distiller's lees. I secretly sent you some food that night, and you gave me all the meat." I ate it and said it was delicious.”
King Duan couldn't help but smile, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, as if savoring the memories of that time.
After swallowing, he said: "Actually, I was hungry that night, and everything I ate was delicious."
"Really?" Xining looked suddenly enlightened, and then smiled: "I didn't dare to say that I wanted to give you food that night. I could only say that I was hungry and wanted to eat meat. I said that this minced meat was the best for tomorrow's meal. , it was about to be served. As a result, the next day, someone came to tell my father that I had eaten too much, and they ate all the meat in the bowl. They were afraid that I would accumulate food, and they cut off my meat for two days. ”
King Duan's smile became even stronger.
This is good, the handsome guy looks good when he smiles. How could such a handsome guy be killed, but if he really wanted to kill the king and seize power, he would have no choice but to kill him.
In fact, Prince Duan had been secretly sizing her up to see if there was anything unusual about her. He must have made an appointment with his men before he came. If he threw a cup as a sign, the hidden killer would jump out from all around, rush over and kill her.
Then she would tell Prince Duan not to kill her and give her enough reasons not to kill her. Then all the problems would be settled.
Xining kept eating generously and ate a lot. He looked like he couldn't hide anything and didn't care about anything, which made King Duan feel relieved.
After using it, Xining asked Prince Duan to stay overnight in the palace and change the morning to noon tomorrow, and then they would go to court together.
This time, an explanation must be given, and Prince Duan naturally accepted it happily.
Xining returned to the palace and had just undressed and lay down when news came over. It was said that King Duan was not asleep yet, the lights in the room were on, his staff and close associates were also inside, and there were fifty or sixty soldiers outside.
Xining rolled his eyes: "Prince Duan is looking for someone to talk to. There is no need to report this kind of thing. Unless there is something important, I am going to bed. Also, no more people are allowed to be monitored!"
It's not normal to find someone to discuss the next thing, it's really making a mountain out of a molehill. Sister still needs to sleep, there are many things waiting to be solved tomorrow.
