Spring Banquet

Chapter 37: Take off the moon and give it to you

Views:

These words were indeed said by Li Fengxing just now, that's right, everyone present heard it, it was Mr. Ziyang who was talking about it, and it was because of Miss Bai Si, a beauty.

But now, Miss Bai Si is slapping her chair and getting angry, for whom

The three lords and nine ministers, including the Dragon Chair God and King, were taken aback for a moment, and then all of them showed suddenly enlightened expressions, looking down at Jiang Xuanjin who was standing below.

Jiang Hongyan stood with her hands behind her back, clad in a green amber brocade dress embroidered with silver patterns, with a dignified posture, like a green mountain jade bamboo. Slightly turning his face to the side, the ink pupils are covered with a spring rain among the lakes and mountains, looking forward to moving.

He slightly parted his thin lips, moved to Li Huaiyu who was protecting him and said:

"Shut up!"

The aggressive Huaiyu trembled when he yelled at her, and turned her head with a frown: "Why are you attacking me again?"

In front of so many people, calling him a "beautiful girl" and trying to make him not be fierce? Jiang Xuanjin sneered, and pushed her back into the chair, her voice came out of her teeth: "Stay honest!"

Li Huaiyu was very unconvinced, and said in a low voice: "I'm helping you. Listen to what the man said in a mess. Coupled with his sanctimonious appearance, just looking at him makes people want to beat him up!"

"Then you don't need to come."

Standing half a step forward, he turned sideways to block her behind her with her words, and said to Li: "Miss Si speak quickly, forgive me."

"Quick talk?" Li Fengxing frowned, "She's the next to commit a crime! A mere courtier who has no fame, dares to question this official like this!"

Although these words are a bit embarrassing and angry, they are also true. Miss Bai Si's words and deeds have collided just now, and it can indeed be regarded as the following offense.

Li Huailin was a little worried. He felt that what the fourth lady said was not unreasonable, and it could even be said to hit the nail on the head. However, she lost on her identity, the crime she committed next time is not a big one, but it is not a small one if she says it is a small one, if Li Fengxing insists on worrying about it, it may be a little troublesome.

Li Fengxing Xu also thought of this, a ruthless look flashed across his eyes, and he wanted to make trouble when he put on his airs.

However, before he could say anything, Jiang Xuanjin spoke first.

Looking up at Li Fengxing, he asked calmly, "What is the annual salary for the position of prime minister

Li Fengxing paused for a while, and replied inexplicably, "The annual salary is a thousand stones."

"What about the fiefdom?"

"...Your Majesty, the Ziyang side is enshrined, and the annual salary is ten thousand stones."

After hearing his answer, Jiang Xuanjin nodded in satisfaction, and turned to ask Xu Yan who was standing in front of him: "If there is no female official questioning the official of Qianshi, it is for the purpose of 'offending the superior', then the official of Qianshi questioning the king of Wanshi should be called Why?"

The Sangong and Jiuqing have always divided their ranks according to their annual salary, and officials with an annual salary of thousands of stones are indeed superior to those without fame. However, compared with Lord Ziyang, who has an annual salary of ten thousand stones, he is like a dust star to Haoyue, who knows how many levels behind him.

If you really want to say "the following offends the superior", Li Fengxing is much better than Miss Bai Si.

Realizing this, Li Fengxing's heart trembled, and the stern look on his face suddenly disappeared. Seeing that Xu Yan was about to answer, he hurriedly said: "It's the fault of the subordinate! Today everyone is seeking justice and teaching each other, how can it be said that the subordinates have committed crimes against the superiors?"

The speed of the change of mouth is so fast that people are dumbfounded.

Li Huailin frowned, and finally couldn't help but said: "Master Li insisted on being fair, but he didn't produce any evidence to prove Meng Hengyuan's innocence. What's the reason for slandering Lord Ziyang based on speculation?"

Li Fengxing panicked, and hurriedly bowed his head: "Your Majesty has learned from you, I just feel that this matter is strange."

"What do you think again?" Li Huailin suddenly reached out and patted the dragon chair, and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Where's the evidence?"

The sound of "dong" made everyone in the hall bow their heads. Li Fengxing even knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"You still treat me like a child, and just want to fool me with casual words?" Li Huailin was really angry, "If there is insufficient evidence in the case, it's fine. The evidence in this case is solid, but you still want to mess around here. Is it true that I am arguing? Can't tell right from wrong, can't tell black from right?!"

Li Fengxing was shocked, and quickly bowed his head, not daring to speak again. All the ministers around came out and cupped their hands one after another: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Calm down? Li Huailin sneered: "If the eldest princess is still in power, do you dare to fool her like you fool me now?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Tingwei next to him frowned and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

"Do you still know that I am Your Majesty?" Li Huailin said, standing up abruptly, "My Majesty, in your eyes, is still an easy-to-handle yellow-haired boy!"

No one expected the emperor to be so angry suddenly, Jiang Xuanjin frowned, and stepped forward to scold him. After learning the emperor's etiquette for so long, how could he lose his composure in the court

However, as soon as he took a step, someone grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't scold him." Li Huaiyu lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and pulled him back, "Your Majesty is right."

The reason why Li Fengxing dared to protect Meng Hengyuan so boldly was that he deceived the young master who was not experienced in the world. If Princess Danyang was in charge, he would not dare to say a word, because it would be useless.

Jiang Xuanjin's face was not very good-looking: "It is the duty of a minister to admonish the monarch."

Can he call it "exhortation"? Huaiyu curled her lips, without even thinking about it, as soon as she let go of her hand, this person would definitely go up and scold Huailin with "Taizu Emperor's Training" and "Emperor's Policy".

"Let him finish his sentence." She whispered, "It may not be a bad thing."

Jiang Xuanjin frowned, glanced at Li Fengxing and Meng Hengyuan who were trembling with fright, thought for a while, and really stood still.

If he doesn't stop him, no one else dares to stop him. Li Huailin was furious, staring at Meng Hengyuan and said: "A mere grassroots dare to lie in front of me! Three thousand catties of forbidden drugs! Three thousand catties! If you don't know, who can put it in your Meng Hengyuan without anyone knowing?" warehouse?!"

Then he turned his head to look at Li Fengxing: "The majestic prime minister, Chang Shi, turned black and white and favored merchants! So what if you have a bright tongue, you really think I don't know what kind of heart you have?!"

In the wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of corpses were laid down, and blood flowed for thousands of miles.

Li Fengxing, who had been eloquent just now, couldn't utter a word now, and kept kowtowing repeatedly, until there was a "bang bang" sound. Meng Hengyuan's legs were trembling, and he was so limp on the ground that he couldn't lift his head up.

"Xu Yan!" Li Huailin shouted.

The people next to him immediately stood up and cupped their hands: "What is your majesty's order?"

"Close the case, convict, and sentence as you like!" Li Huailin said, "If anyone has any objections, they can bring evidence and speak to me!"

With a shock in his heart, Xu Yan solemnly replied: "Yes!"

There was no sound in the hall. The three princes and nine ministers all bowed their heads and looked down, not daring to move rashly.

Li Huailin sat back on the dragon chair again, his robe shook, and the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it shone brightly. Looking up again, there was an undeniable arrogance in the still immature eyebrows and eyes.

Huaiyu smiled, his eyes filled with relief.

This is the man of her Li family!

The case that had been procrastinating for more than ten days finally came to a conclusion today. When Li Huaiyu was led out of the palace by Jiang Xuanjin, he clapped excitedly behind him.

"Our Majesty is really imposing! Did you see that? Such a thin body, when angry, seems to be higher than the beams of the house, and it makes people breathless!"

"But be angry, be angry. He still grasped the crux of the case clearly, very smart!"

"Although he is still young, but with such courage and wisdom, he will definitely become a generation of Mingjun who will last forever!"

Chattering, every word is not far from the emperor.

Jiang Xuanjin stopped and looked at her sideways: "Is that good?"

The smile on the corner of Huaiyu's mouth couldn't be stopped: "Yes! Don't you think so?"

"..." Without answering, he raised his steps and continued to walk forward.

Li Huaiyu didn't notice anything wrong at all, got into the carriage and was still immersed in the joy of seeing his younger brother, resting his cheeks on his hands, his eyes glistened softly.

It's good to see Huai Lin again, and it's even better to hear "Sister Huang" from his mouth. Although she wasn't calling her, she also felt happy, as if she had returned to the time when Huailin had just learned to speak many years ago.

"Sister Huang." One-year-old Huailin shouted with difficulty.

Emperor Xiao, who was holding him, lost his face, pretending to be unhappy and asked, "Why don't you call me Emperor Father, but your sister?"

Little Huailin bit her finger, looked at Emperor Xiao blankly, and called out to her again: "Sister Huang!"

The six-year-old Xiao Huaiyu was jumping with joy, and showed off to his father with his hips on his hips: "Who told you that you don't have time to hug him? The emperor's brother was raised by Erchen, so he must be called Erchen first!"

"No, you have to teach him to call him Emperor Father!" Emperor Xiao snorted. "His father is the Ninth Five-Year Lord! The Ninth Five-Year Lord is the eldest?"

"Sister Huang!" Xiao Huailin replied without hesitation.

"..." Emperor Xiao, who was so powerful in the court hall, was so angry and wronged by a one-year-old child that his face wrinkled.

Xiao Huaiyu laughed loudly, held Huai Lin up and turned around, and said in a childlike voice: "Sister Huang will definitely take good care of you, and when you grow up, I will give you all the good things!"

Naturally, Huailin didn't understand what a good thing was, but he also giggled when he was held up high. The laughter spread far and wide, dyeing the entire Feiyun Palace in a warm color.

Recalling these, Huaiyu couldn't help laughing.

The carriage stopped suddenly.

Lean forward. Almost unable to sit still, Huaiyu came back to his senses and asked blankly, "Are you there?"

Jiang Xuanjin ignored her, and went down the driveway expressionlessly: "I still have something to do, you go back first."

When the curtain fell, a gust of wind blew in, causing her temple hair to move slightly.

Li Huaiyu blinked, then lifted the curtain and called out to him for no apparent reason: "Why did I provoke you?"

Jiang Xuanjin didn't turn her head back: "No."

"What's your temper without you?" Jumping out of the car to catch up, dumbfounded, she reached out and grabbed his robe, "It's getting dark, what can you do?"

Breathing cold, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Let go."

This is still on the street, what are you talking about

"It's useless to say that again." Rolling his eyes, Li Huaiyu gripped his robe even tighter, "You have a weird temper, and you never speak directly when you have something to say. I have to guess. But I can't guess. It’s time, you’ll die if you hold back!”

"It's really suffocating. Is it not me who is distressed?"

The last sentence was said with a smile.

Jiang Xuanjin couldn't laugh, and looked back at her with frosty eyes: "My temper is like this, if you don't like it, then you will withdraw the dowry."

"Hey, I like it! I like everything about you!" Huaiyu kept coaxing him, then slid down his hand, and shook his index finger, "How can I not like you!"

With a soft snort, Jiang Xuanjin looked away sullenly.

Looking at the profile of his profile, Huaiyu's eyes were filled with admiration, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch it, and said, "It's so beautiful to be angry, I really want to go to the sky to pick the moon for you!"

Her mouth is so good, who knows when it is sincere and when it is false? He looks good? There are many good-looking people in this world, isn't the current saint also good-looking? Isn't it very imposing? According to what she said, how many moons are there in the sky enough for her to pick

Slapping her hand away, Jiang Xuanjin narrowed his eyes and said, "If you want to pick it off, pick it off, if you can't pick it off, don't let me see you again!"

After all, shake her off and leave.

He breathed a bad breath, his eyes were gloomy, and he walked extremely fast.

However, not far away, the surrounding people suddenly became commotion. They gathered together in twos and pointed in the direction behind him.

What happened? Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled. Seeing the strange reactions of these people, he stopped and looked back.

At the place he left just now, someone was climbing up the wall of the restaurant next to him. His movements were not very flexible, but he climbed up to the balcony on the second floor with great persistence. Stepping on the chair on the balcony, she stretched out her hand, trembling. Going to pick a lantern hanging under the eaves. The body is crumbling.

Pupils shrank, and Jiang Xuanjin's expression changed.

With injuries on her body, Li Huaiyu had a lot of trouble moving. It took her a long time to reach the lantern, but with more force, she lost her footing and fell to the outside.

"Ah—" the people onlookers exclaimed, and Lingxiu also screamed: "Miss!"

Grasping the lantern firmly, Huaiyu reacted very quickly, hooked his toes to the fence on the second floor, stabilized his body and climbed to the eaves of the next circle. Borrowing strength, he turned over and landed firmly on the ground.

Jiang Xuanjin, who had already come up to catch her, stood beside her.

Huaiyu turned around and saw him, covered her waist and grinned for a while, then stuffed the lantern in her hand into his arms.

"I picked the moon for you," she said.

The round and bright lanterns shine brightly, like the bright moon in the sky.

Jiang Xuanjin's jaw tightened, he looked at the lantern and then at her, and the millennium's frost and snow flew in his eyes.

Li Huaiyu grinned, couldn't help stretching out his hand to touch his face again, blinked and said, "You said you couldn't take it off so you wouldn't see me. I said that I would 'see you every year', don't you remember?" ?”

The three wishes are like Liang Shangyan. See you every year. —The words sung by someone knocking on the tea spoon could not stop echoing in my ears.

His body froze, Jiang Xuanjin stared at her, completely speechless.

The people on the street were bustling with people, and many people passed by a restaurant and stopped to look around.

A very good-looking man was standing holding a lantern with an ugly expression on his face. In front of him, a dexterous girl stretched her hands on her hips, smiling dimpledly.

white house.

Jiang Xuanjin put plaster on the open wound on the back of her hand without saying a word, and Li Huaiyu took advantage of her by sticking to his back, with his chin resting on his shoulder. Staring greedily at the side faces of others.

"Why are you still angry?" She asked distressedly, "Didn't everyone pick the moon for you?"

He didn't speak, his thin lips were drawn into a stiff line.

"Do you feel sorry for me? I didn't fall... Hiss! It hurts! Take it easy!"

"Do you still know it hurts?" Finally, Jiang Xuanjin spoke in a bad tone, "I don't know what my body looks like?"

The life that was finally recovered, took more than ten days to look human, how could she make such a fuss? What if he hadn't hooked the fence just now? What if he didn't react fast enough to catch it

Startled by his fierceness, Huaiyu blinked, stared at him for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Jiang Jie." She called his name. Smiling meaningfully, "Are... are you feeling sorry for me?"

The hand that was applying the medicine stopped, and he looked up with a dark face: "If you want to have this kind of dream, sleep during the day."

After finishing speaking, he put the ointment on the bedside, got up and walked out.

The people behind him yelled at him unwillingly: "I love you so much, why do you feel sorry for me? Cheapskate!"

Jiang Xuanjin didn't answer, he stepped over the threshold and went straight back to his room.

Distressed

Reaching out and pressing his chest, he sneered, even though his heart would hurt. That's also a heart disease, and it has nothing to do with her.

Pushing open the door, Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes and saw a lantern on the table, which was round and bright, like the moon.

After staring at it for a while, he entered the room, picked it up and put it on the windowsill.

The night outside the window is silent, and the moon is bright by the window.

Going to bed, Jiang Xuanjin had a very peaceful dream, in which there was a gentle moonlight and a lingering scent of medicine.

Early the next morning.

Bai Mengshi was imprisoned. The atmosphere in the White House was solemn. When she learned that her mother was going to be imprisoned for eighteen years, Bai Xuanji couldn't sit still, and rushed to the South Courtyard with a group of uncles and aunts.

"How could you do such a thing!"

Li Huaiyu just woke up when someone yelled at him, and immediately frowned: "What?"

Bai Xuanji looked at her with red eyes: "Even if mother is at fault, she is the one you want to call 'mother'. You actually sent her to prison for eighteen years! Eighteen years! Where is your filial piety?"

Hearing what she meant, Li Huaiyu sat up straight, and smiled mischievously: "It is His Majesty who put her in prison, not me."

"If you hadn't entered the palace to complain, would she have been imprisoned?" The aunt behind her, Bai Liang, said angrily, "We are all a family, how could you be so cruel?"

"Yes." Bai Liu also chimed in, "We are all trying to save her, but you are kind, not only did you not help, but you even sued her!"

"Too heartless!"

Spit was flying all over the room, Li Huaiyu wiped his face blankly, and asked Lingxiu, "Why is Bai Mengshi imprisoned?"

Lingxiu frowned and replied, "Because of poisoning you."

"Oh yes." Huaiyu nodded, then looked at the group of uncles and aunts next to her, "She poisoned me first and wanted to kill me, so you blame me for suing her?"

"Didn't you die?" Bai Liang frowned, "You are still alive and well, but she has to be locked up in that dark place for eighteen years, do you think it's fair?"

Huaiyu laughed when she heard this: "That's how the law is. Killing pays for life. I'm not dead, so she's still alive. It's just that she doesn't live freely. It's a punishment for her evil deeds. Isn't that fair?"

"But she is your mother!" Bai Liu looked at her with eyes full of resentment, "How can a daughter be cruel enough to send her mother to jail!"

"I've thought about it." Bai Xuanji said, "This matter happened because of you. As long as you intercede with His Majesty and say that Mother didn't do it on purpose, His Majesty will definitely reduce the punishment on Mother and let her come back soon."

That said, one is more shameless than the other.

Huaiyu looked at them quietly, and when they had said enough, she said slowly, "I don't want it."

Everyone in the room stared at her with wide eyes, especially Bai Xuanji couldn't believe it: "Why are you like this?"

"How about me?" Looking back at her, Li Huaiyu sneered, "She can do it to me, why can't I do it to her?"

She was so hurt that she almost died, and she had to go back and forgive others? A narrow-minded person like her. It's good tempered not to kill Bai Mengshi, but these people actually tried to ask her to help rescue her

It's really better to go back to sleep during the day!

Strange to say, there seems to be no shortage of such beasts who kidnap people with relatives everywhere in the world. It is clear that the murderer is unforgivable, but these individuals always like to blame the victim, persuade them by blood, and bind them by morality. , must let the victim accept their probation, and give the victim another chance to make a mistake.

What a heartless thing!

"You... Do you really think that if you have climbed a high branch, you can ignore the Bai family?" Looking at her attitude, Bai Liang was very angry. Pointing at her, he said, "Without the Bai family, how could you marry into Jiang's mansion!"

"Exactly!" Bai Liu also said, "I really offended everyone, do you think you can have a good life?"

When the persuasion failed, the group of people were obviously annoyed and threatened her one after another.

"If you don't save the Baimeng family, it proves that you have no filial piety. Let's talk about it to the Jiang family, will they still want you as a daughter-in-law?"

"When this news gets out, people in the entire capital will scold you, let alone marrying Mr. Ziyang. From now on, you will be a street mouse, and everyone will shout and beat you!"

Li Huaiyu was very impatient: "Is it over? I'm going to sleep after I'm done."

"You!" Bai Xuanji walked to the bed, pulled her quilt and said, "If you don't give me an explanation today, you won't be able to sleep!"

"Yeah, what time is it, and I can still sleep!"

A group of people stood up and gathered around her bed, looking aggressive.

If it was a lady from an ordinary family, she would really be scared into submission by this scene, but what scene has this person on the bed never seen? Just a few wretched women. Want to scare her

Clenching his fists, Li Huaiyu looked at Bai Xuanji and said, "Try pulling again?"

Bai Xuanji was taken aback for a moment, her heart trembled when she saw her eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to let go.

However, with so many people on her side, why would she back down? After she regained her composure, she squeezed the quilt tightly and said, "Why, it doesn't count if you hurt your mother, but you still want to hit me? If you dare to do something, I'll ask someone to invite Ziyang Jun to come over and let him see who he wants to marry. What a vicious, cold-blooded person!"

Huaiyu really wanted to tell her. Ziyang Jun didn't think that he himself married a good person! But before she could speak, a voice rang at the door.

"I've been here all along, so I won't bother the second lady to invite you."
