After a brief silence, the crowd started to get lively again. People kept walking up to Du Yuanzheng, smiling and saying the same cute things, leaving Du Yuanzheng no time to look at Du Suxi.
"Did you know that you completely offended Du Zaifu just now?"
Looking at Du Suxi who was sitting in front of him and looking around calmly, He Lianheng sighed softly and reminded him.
Du Suxi didn't turn her head, she still looked at the dark hall casually, and nodded lightly. His demeanor is still leisurely and generous. "I know, what? Are you scared? You are scared. It doesn't matter if you pretend you don't know me now."
"..." He Lianheng was so angry at Du Suxi that he almost wanted to go crazy. Looking at Du Suxi who looked indifferent, he reminded him again.
"I've already boarded the pirate ship. By saying that, aren't you forcing me to jump off?"
"..." Du Suxi finally turned around, looked at He Lianheng carefully, and frowned slightly. He spoke doubtfully.
"Then why don't you jump?"
"I can not swim… "
"That's it." Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng with a matter-of-fact look and affirmed.
"Probably because you are too stupid."
"..." He Lianheng was so shocked by these words that he twitched the corner of his mouth with great effort. Looking at Du Suxi who still had an indifferent expression, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Du Suxi, you really hold a grudge." It's just that she didn't stop Taohua, and it happened that Taohua heard about her cooperation with Gucahanza. As for dealing with him like this
I thought Du Suxi would apologize guiltily, but I didn't expect that Du Suxi blinked, glanced at He Lianheng, and nodded in confirmation very seriously.
"Well, holding a grudge is just one of my strengths."
“…”
He really is shameless and invincible. He Lianheng really saw this. Secretly grinding his teeth, he suddenly realized that he seemed helpless towards this little girl Du Suxi.
While the two were bickering, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the door. Du Suxi raised her eyebrows, feeling something was wrong. She was about to stand up and take a look, but was pulled back by He Lianheng.
As if he had finally found an opportunity to retaliate, He Lianheng smiled thoughtfully, looked at Du Suxi and said.
"Dusa, after all, everyone now knows that you are my confidante, so can you not be so embarrassed? Be more reserved?"
"..." Du Suxi glanced at He Lianheng in shock, and finally sat down. Looking at He Lianheng's proud smile, she felt that He Lianheng's smile was unpleasant, so she simply frowned and said nothing. He replied rudely.
"I think I'm still very reserved. Besides, I care a lot about who that person is. He's so grand. In comparison, you look like a little shrimp."
“…”
He Lianheng gritted his teeth. Being looked down upon by Du Suxi, a surge of anger came over him. He watched Du Suxi angrily explain. "That's because you didn't see the pomp and circumstance when I came in. It was definitely more exciting than this!"
Du Suxi just wanted to laugh, but when she saw the person coming in clearly, her expression suddenly became strange and she said nothing. He Lianheng noticed Du Suxi's abnormality and looked toward the door. When he saw He Liankuang's expressionless face, he was slightly startled, and then showed an indifferent smile. His fists also tightened involuntarily.
"It turns out to be him!"
He Liankuang, who was walking among the crowd, was wearing a black robe with embroidered clouds and dark patterns and gold rims. He had a green belt around his waist and a very simple white unicorn jade on the lower right corner. Wearing a silver-plated obsidian crown on his head, he looked full of energy. Coupled with his handsome and angry face, it was really eye-catching.
As if he noticed that Du Suxi was looking at him, He Liankuang suddenly frowned and looked at Du Suxi. Looking at the veiled Du Suxi, a look of surprise flashed on his face. After that, he regained his composure, as if he had never seen Du Suxi before. Without moving his eyes, he walked straight in front of Du Yuanzheng and clasped his fists with his hands. It's a salute.
Everyone looked at Helian Kuang. Under the gazes of many people, Helian Kuang remained calm and composed, looking at Du Yuanzheng and speaking.
"My father is not feeling well today and cannot come to attend Du Zaifu's birthday. Please forgive me for Du Zaifu's birthday."
When Du Yuan heard this, his face suddenly became serious, as if the emperor was beside him, he waved his hands humbly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Your Majesty takes care of everything, which is the well-being of our people. This old minister only has a mere birthday. The Emperor just needs to take good care of his body."
Helian Kuang cupped his fists and performed a simple salute. Perfection in every move.
"Although my father never came, he wrote a line of words to Zaifu himself, and asked Zaifu to accept it."
The two of them pushed each other back and forth a few more times before Du Yuanzheng took over the line of writing and opened it with a swipe in front of everyone.
The four words "Integrity and Integrity" suddenly caught everyone's attention.
All the civil and military officials were startled, and then they congratulated Du Yuanzheng, trying to please the emperor in various ways and singing praises.
Du Suxi listened to these words, chuckled, put it in her left ear, and out her right ear. She looked at He Lianheng with a solemn face with a half-smile, raised her eyebrows, and asked. "What's wrong with you? Didn't you prepare a gift? Are you embarrassed?"
“…”
He Lianheng's mouth twitched and he replied. "I just didn't expect that Helian Kuang would be the messenger from the palace."
This answer made Du Suxi feel dumbfounded. Looking at the excited expressions on those people's faces, she curled her lips and frowned in complaint.
"I didn't expect your emperor to be so stingy, to send someone away with just one word, and to make people so grateful and grateful. It's a good idea to sing praises!"
"..." Du Qifeng, who came in with He Liankuang, was standing not far from Du Suxi, monitoring Du Suxi's every move. By coincidence, he heard Du Suxi's words. The words were not bad, but I suddenly felt thunder rolling from the sky, and it was difficult for me to accept such a gap in facts.
This Du Suxi, does she know how rare it is to have an inscription written by the emperor? How many dignitaries and dignitaries rarely get an inscription from the emperor in their lifetime? A thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but a good reputation is rare! This Du Suxi actually said that the emperor was too stingy? If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people at the scene, Du Qifeng would have even wanted to slap Du Suxi.
Even so, Du Qifeng still felt a little worried, so he had to look at He Lianheng, hoping that He Lianheng could help him teach his sister well, and let her know that being able to get the words personally written by the emperor was the right thing to do. What a rare thing!
But the facts made Du Qifeng grit his teeth again.
Not only did He Lianheng not explain, but he looked at Du Suxi with a doting look on his face, nodded, and responded.
.
"I think what you said is quite right."
What you said is not bad. This means recognition...
Du Qifeng's face darkened and his expression became particularly ugly.
But at this time, Du Qifeng didn't know that Du Suxi's words were deliberately told to him. Although Du Suxi came from time travel in modern times, she still knew a thing or two about the preciousness of the gifts given by the emperor. It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, a general accidentally broke a jade bowl given by the emperor and was executed by his entire family. Although this is also because the general does not know how to adapt, it also proves the preciousness of the gift from the emperor! Not to mention the calligraphy given by the emperor himself. Du Suxi was very sure that if she dared to tear up the calligraphy without fear of death, she would definitely be beheaded without saying a word.
This is imperial power! This is the political power that overrides the lives of the people.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Johnnie To's angry look. Du Suxi couldn't help but let out a long sigh in her heart. This country is still under a constitutional monarchy. Compared with the democratic society where Du Suxi lives, it is more than a million miles away. The ideological gap cannot be changed by changing it. It cannot even be expressed in terms of qualitative change, because , this is no longer on the same level...
While he was deep in thought, a low and steady voice suddenly came from his ears.
"I wonder if this lady, could you let me sit here too?"
The person who spoke was He Liankuang, who was looking at Du Suxi expressionlessly, as if he was not the one who asked Du Suxi just now.
Du Suxi was stunned, looking at the stern-faced He Lianheng in front of him, and refused without hesitation.
"Sorry, I think there should be a place for His Highness in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Her words were concise and clear. Although she did not directly veto it, it was tantamount to a direct rejection.
Some people looked at this move and couldn't help cheering for Du Suxi from the bottom of their hearts. What a brave and fearless woman!
But more people cast strange looks at Du Suxi. I thought to myself. Is this woman crazy? Not only did you offend Du Zaifu just now, but now you are offending His Highness the Seventh Highness again? Where does she get the confidence? Do you think that because you are the confidante of His Highness the Third Prince, do you think that you are superior and fearless? She is really a stupid woman who only has beauty but no brains.
Helian Kuang had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, looked at Du Suxi who was still calm, chuckled, sat down directly next to Du Suxi, and explained gently.
"I just think the location here is good, so I want to sit with the girl. Please don't misunderstand anything."
Du Suxi turned her head and looked at Helian Kuang calmly. He Lian Kuang had a smile on his lips, looking like a gentle and elegant young man. However, Du Suxi looked through his gentle disguise and suddenly saw When it comes to Helian's wild ambition.
Is this man here for revenge? His sword seemed to be fine.
Du Suxi sneered, secretly tightening the hands hidden under her body, but the smile at the corner of her mouth became brighter.
"It turns out that I am being sentimental. I thought His Highness Seventh was sitting here because he wanted to talk to me. I just wanted to tell His Highness Seventh that I was His Highness Three's female companion today, but I didn't expect His Highness Seventh. His Highness did not mean this, so Dusha is really being ridiculous."
She was saying that she was generous enough to make people laugh, but there was no trace of shame in her bright eyes. Instead, she looked at He Lianheng with bright eyes, full of provocation.
