King Jing took out the crystal bottle, and not far behind, Wang Xi stepped forward, and placed a small coral-carved fish tank on King King's case. Put the fish in the water and watch the fish swim freely for a while.
King Jing glanced at Wang Xi and planned to feed the fish.
Wang Xi knowingly took out the bamboo box containing the fish food and handed it to King Jing. He turned around again and lost his eyes to the several servants behind him. Put them in front of you one by one.
King Jing took two pieces of fish food, put them into the fish tank, and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake. He first divided half of it and crushed it for the little fish, while he ate the remaining half as if nothing had happened.
Everyone who was busy watching King King feeding the fish carefully:? ?
Everyone said that their eyes were going to be blind. Was King Jing like this King Jing
After King Jing put him in the tank, Li Yu obediently rubbed each other's fingers, and the fish food and peach blossom cake came down. Recently, the little carp, who is quite fond of the new and tired of the old, first ate the peach blossom cake tightly, and after eating half full , and then eat fish food.
King Jing saw that the little fish was eating happily, so he took another kind of Yindan cake, broke it up and fed it.
Li Yu is now very happy to try new food, let's try it, the new cake smells of mint, straight to the forehead, people like it, but the fish can't stand it, Li Yu threw it away after taking a bite, and still went to eat When the peach blossom cake was enjoyed, King Jing knew that his fish did not like the silver pill cake.
"There is no need to prepare this silver pill cake in the future."
The prince, known as the roundworm in King Jing's stomach, immediately ordered several of his servants to write down, and the servants nodded again and again.
The people seated around King Jing were dazzled, only Ye Qinghuan was surprised.
In the sound of silk and bamboo, the second prince Mu Tianzhao got up, and the Ministry of Rites arranged for the eldest second prince to toast King Jin Jue at the state banquet. Mu Tianzhao was generous and spoke well, and had a great time talking with King Jin Jue. , King Jin Jue was full of praise for Mu Tianzhao and drank three cups in a row.
The emperor was quite satisfied with Mu Tianzhao's performance. King Jin Jue praised the second prince. The emperor's face was also bright and capable, which was also a great advantage of the second prince.
Mu Tianzhao felt that the emperor was in a good mood, and smiled at the petite figure beside King Jin Jue.
He has been losing one after another recently, and he is not very popular with the emperor. Recently, the eyeliner in the Qianqing Palace sent him a message that King Jin Jue intends to marry this little princess.
Mu Tianzhao had put a lot of effort into repairing the relationship with King Jing before, but King Jing did not let him go. Mu Tianzhao also had the intention to win over Duke Cheng’en’s mansion, but King Jing and Duke Cheng’en’s mansion were obviously tied to a rope. When he went up, he was deflated at King Jing's place, and Duke Cheng'en treated him coldly.
Hearing that the third prince had successfully placed a concubine in King Jing's mansion, Mu Tianzhao was afraid that the third prince would win over King Jing before him, so that he would get the support of Duke Cheng'en. Looking for other help, but it is not too obvious, after all, the emperor is still staring at it.
At this time, marriage came to the door.
Mu Tianzhao had a good calculation in his heart. Although Jin Jue was a small border country, he had money and soldiers. If he married Princess Jin Jue, Jin Jue would definitely not let him go to support other princes. In this way, even if the emperor has an opinion on him, it is not so easy to shake his position.
As for Princess Jin Jue herself, being his side concubine is a great honor. He can promise to make her a noble concubine after ascending the throne. Presumably King Jin Jue will not object.
Mu Tianzhao originally thought that for Jin Jue's help, the little princess would accept it even if she was ugly, but when she came to the state banquet, she took a cold look. The princess's beautiful appearance was quite beautiful. In comparison, there is a different kind of style, and Mu Tianzhao already has one hundred and eighty willing in his heart.
"Princess." Mu Tianzhao ordered someone to send a plate of snacks, and said softly, "This is the famous butterfly cake in this dynasty, please try it."
Butterfly cakes, as the name suggests, are made into the shape of butterflies spreading their wings, and they are all in pairs, which means a hundred years of good luck. Mu Tianzhao wanted to make a gesture first, to let others know that Princess Jin Jue was already in his pocket, and asked the people next to him who had a heart for the princess to retire.
The emperor also saw it from above, and the second prince estimated that he had a crush on this foreign princess.
The emperor was originally interested in the marriage between Prince Cheng'en and Princess Jin Jue, but seeing Ye Qinghuan's solemn expression when he gave the order earlier, it didn't seem like he was interested in the princess. After discussing it, the marriage was not given directly, but the second prince suddenly appeared.
The emperor was a little dissatisfied, and then he thought that the second prince did not know the holy will, and should not be easily blamed. He had already rejected the idea of marrying Princess Jin Jue to the prince before. If the second prince wanted to do so, he would definitely run into a wall. Unless Princess Jin Jue voluntarily let go and was willing to be the second prince's side concubine, he would be able to do it.
Since the second prince wants this marriage, he has to come up with enough means.
The emperor wanted to see how Mu Tianzhao handled things, so he did not stop him.
King Jin Jue ordered someone to serve the butterfly cake in front of the princess, but the little princess just smiled and didn't reach out to take the dessert.
Mu Tianzhao guessed that the princess didn't know the meaning of butterflies, and wanted to take the opportunity to reveal one or two more, but suddenly found that Princess Jin Jue was not looking at him at all, and her pretty face was only looking far away.
Mu Tianzhao: "..."
Mu Tianzhao's face was a little stumped, and he was not in a hurry to speak again, but his eyes couldn't help following the princess's line of sight, and then he saw King Jing put a table full of snacks and fed the fish, and the fish was lying on the edge of the fish tank and wagging its tail.
It turned out that the princess was looking at the fish, and it was the fish that the second prince would have an accident when he saw it. Every time the fish wagged its tail, the princess couldn't help but curl her lips.
Mu Tianzhao secretly hated. He was afraid of being rude at the state banquet, and after learning that the fish was brought by King Jing, he tried his best to pretend that the fish did not exist, but this fish that did not match his character unexpectedly broke into his eyes again.
Princess Jin Jue blushed with laughter and whispered with King Jin Jue from time to time. The second prince only heard a very light word for "fish". The other words were not clear, but it was enough. He was very sure that it was the damn fish. stole his thunder.
Princess Jin Jue is also blind. How can a dumb fish be compared with his future prince
Mu Tianzhao glanced at the emperor, and the emperor also noticed from the movement here that King Jing was feeding the fish, but instead of blaming, the emperor smiled, and seemed very happy to see King Jing busying himself with the fish. Mu Tianzhao The vine called jealousy in my heart grew densely.
He is a decent second prince and the future prince. After all, he can't do anything to a fish. Mu Tianzhao sat back down with a sullen face. The second prince then gave a few words to the servant who was in charge of serving the dishes for him.
The inner servant took the order and left, and came back shortly after, holding a bowl in his hand with a little soup in it.
The servant knelt down tremblingly and said, "His Royal Highness, the carp soup is not prepared in the dining room today, and the fish soup has to be boiled now. It will not be available in a while. The servant was afraid that His Highness would wait for a long time, so I took a bowl of white jade ball soup first. …”
Although the servant said it lightly, some people could not help but stare at the second prince, and Mu Tianming, who was seated not far from the second prince, immediately said loudly: "Second prince, but the dishes at the state banquet are not to your taste, why do you suddenly have to drink carp soup. "
Mu Tianming deliberately shouted the word "carp" loudly. Many people present, after looking at the second prince in amazement, will all go to see King Jing at the same time.
Because of the presence, only King Jing had a carp beside him.
Li Yu raised his head from the fish tank and tilted his head in embarrassment: Oh, I'm so shy, the second prince is afraid that he doesn't want to make soup with him! But he is still nibbling on the master here.
Mu Tianzhao: "..."
Mu Tianzhao felt that King Jing's icy eyes were projected over, and he was inexplicably panicked, but he obviously didn't do anything.
Mu Tianzhao gritted his teeth and scolded: "Brother Sanhuang, you think too much, I just suddenly felt thirsty and wanted to drink some soup."
The second prince was extremely twisted in his heart. Could it be that he would be put off by a mouthful of fish soup.
King Jing glanced at Mu Tianzhao coldly. Although Wang Xili didn't say anything from the side, he was already scolded for King Jing in his heart.
The emperor frowned, drinking a bowl of fish soup was nothing, but only King Jing brought the fish over, and the second prince's intention was too obvious. Perhaps even the second prince himself did not expect that the act of anger would be exposed by the third prince.
The emperor loves Wu and Wu, and has a very good impression of the little carp, and also thinks that the second prince is a little overbearing.
Princess Jin Jue was just looking at the fish that King Jing kept. She watched it from a distance several times, and she liked it very much. When she learned that the second prince wanted to drink fish soup, the little princess got up and said angrily: "Second Highness, the fish is so cute. , but you have to drink fish soup in front of its face, I can't believe that you are such a person!"
Just now, the second prince gave her butterflies, which Princess Jin Jue disliked. Regardless of her age, she has seen through that the second prince is plotting against her and Jin Jue. She also knows that marrying the second prince can only be a side room. Princess Jin Jue is not stupid. It is not worth it to say that the concubine position can be abolished. And it's hard to say whether the second prince can ascend the throne or not, and Jin Jue doesn't want to get involved in the prince's battle easily.
Therefore, Princess Jin Jue never paid any attention to the second prince, and when she learned that the second prince was secretly trying to drink fish soup, no one would say anything. This said to the emperor that he did not want to marry the second prince, don't even think about it!
"Princess, you misunderstood, not so..."
Mu Tianzhao was at a loss for words, and his heart was filled with anger, and he didn't know how to explain it.
Can he say that he didn't drink the fish soup in front of the fish, but wanted to slaughter the fish and make the soup
The emperor could see clearly from above, Princess Jin Jue obviously had no intention of the second prince, so don't let the second prince use any more unprofessional methods. To put it nicely, it means that Princess Bo is happy, and to say it badly means seduction to no avail.
-Emperor just now felt how much the second prince fought for his face, and now he feels how painful his face is.
Sure enough, Ye Qinghuan was more suitable.
The emperor looked at Ye Shizi sitting silently beside King Jing from a distance, and silently gave Ye Shizi a mature and steady stamp in his heart. He planned to leave Duke Chengen and Shizi Ye after the state banquet and talk alone.
The second prince later got the news that the emperor intended to marry Princess Jin Jue and Prince Cheng'en, and was already receiving Duke Cheng'en.
It turns out that these people are a group... And he, who was greatly humiliated at the state banquet, didn't ask for anything.
Princess Jin Jue refused him, Duke Cheng'en refused to help him, and King Jing and the fish raised by King Jing were all laughing at him!
The second prince felt that he had endured for too long, and he couldn't bear it anymore and had to move.
