Chapter 64: sixty-four

This time, due to the sacrifice to the heavens, a maidservant was arranged along the way, and the guards were tightly guarded, so the journey went smoothly. Yu Chili was secretly observing the security situation of the entire palace for emergencies.
Along the way, I could see many of my family members dressed in Chinese clothes, dressed up in dazzling fashion, and looking at Yuchili from time to time, they seemed to be very curious about these two northern princesses.
Although Yu Chili didn't squint and didn't want to be conspicuous, her own unique temperament was frequently pointed at and whispered.
"Look, there is the princess of the Northern Territory, both are." A woman whispered, covering her mouth.
"The light-colored dress is pretty good and tall. I heard that she grew up in a barracks and was very strong in martial arts. She originally wanted to inherit the entire Northern Territory." Another woman said.
"Joke, since ancient times, no woman has said that she is king, not to mention that she has been married and reconciled by herself. She must not be a good woman. This Northern Territory will be...humph." A younger man squeezed over. He glanced at Yu Chili, disdainfully said.
The two women were silent. Yuchi's ears were good, and after hearing their words clearly, she snorted and ignored them.
On the other hand, Yu Chidie was furious, and turned around to reason with them. Yu Chili grabbed her and said in a low voice, "Don't have the same knowledge as them."
Yu Chidie shook off Yuchili, gritted her teeth with anger: "They think they are the same as Yan Guo everywhere."
Yu Chili nodded inconspicuously. Now her whole heart was on the next big event, and her heart was very nervous. She looked back at Liu Luoyi who was behind her with a worried look on her face.
Liu Luoyi nodded at her, she clenched the letter in her arms, her eyes firm.
She can't always be protected by Yu Chili, she wants to be as powerful as her, and then stand by her side, and as long as Yu Chili is there, she will not be afraid.
She wants to rescue daddy.
The hall where the state banquet was held was called Liufu Hall. The name was very rustic, but the appearance was very magnificent. Yu Chili glanced at it. There were dozens of steps outside the door, extending wide on both sides, which could accommodate a hundred people. There are stone carvings, and the white stones reflect a little bit of light in the sun.
Yuchili looked up and saw that the traditional wooden buildings were painted with no paint. He looked magnificent and towering, with the imperial power, giving people a full sense of oppression. After the large crowds walked up the steps, they immediately dispersed.
Xin Ran walked over and walked over, with a look of surprise: "Princess, this palace is more elegant than the Northern Territory. The sculpture on the handrail is made of jade, right?"
Yu Chili patted her for a while, how could this guy extinguish his ambition and exalt others.
Moreover, the imperial palace is so expensive, either it is strong, or the treasury is in deficit. Anyway, it is the people below who are suffering. Wei Chili shook his head.
Entering the main hall, there is another world. The space inside is very wide, and there is a sense of emptiness when speaking. On both sides of the main hall, there are many tables and chairs specially placed for the state banquet. At that time, many places were already full of people.
Yuchili was led to sit down by a short maid. Almost all of them were relatives of the emperor, and they were very close to the emperor's table and chairs at the highest point in the north.
Soon, the maidservants poured in and poured wine for every table. Yu Chili nodded politely. After the maid who poured her wine left, she raised her eyes again, and everyone was almost there. Shen Shen Chu and the prince were sitting near her, and Shen Chu was talking to the prince with his shoulders on his back. The prince kept drinking, looking a bit decadent.
There are many familiar faces around, Wen Qiong and Qiu Wujin are sitting diagonally opposite, sitting with the female relatives, and Guan Nanhou, who is on the side, also has a very bad face, looking at Yu Chili from time to time.
Yu Chili frowned. He had no grievances with this old guy. Why did he always stare at her?
At this moment, everyone suddenly stood up and then knelt down. Yu Chili was patted by Yu Chidie, and reflexively stood up and saluted. Only then did he realize that the emperor had come in, and Shen Hao walked across the center of the hall with a smile and sat down. In your own position.
"Today's state banquet, don't have to be polite, just get up." Shen Hao smiled. Yu Chili secretly looked at Shen Hao. For some reason, she always felt that the emperor didn't seem to be so friendly on the surface. No matter how he laughed, how magnanimous he was, she was hostile.
The banquet began, various dishes were put on the table, and the hall began to chat. Some people whom Yuchili didn't even knew came to her to toast. Yuchili politely refused. Yuchidie on the other side ate vegetables alone, feeling very depressed. .
"It's always like this. I'm also the princess of the Northern Territory, but no one looks at me at all." Yu Chidie said to An Ge on the side.
An Ge leaned down slightly: "Only you are the princess in my heart."
Yu Chidie: "Go away."
"Princess, can you enjoy a drink?" A voice rang next to Yuchili. Yuchili looked up and saw that it was Qiu Wujin, who hadn't seen each other for a long time. She was holding a glass of wine and looked at Yuchili.
Just as Yu Chili wanted to reply, she suddenly felt a pain in her back. She grinned and sucked in the air, and said hurriedly: "No, no, no..."
"Why, is it possible that the princess can't beat alcohol?" Qiu Wujin said suddenly, but I don't know why, her eyes that were originally agile now look a little tarnished.
"The princess is indeed incapable of drinking, and the servant will be the princess." Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side, picked up the wine glass on the table by Yuchi, and drank it.
Liu Luoyi put down the wine glass and looked at Qiu Wujin with indifferent expression. The two looked at each other for a long time. Qiu Wujin also drank the wine suddenly, then turned and left without saying a word.
Yu Chili felt that his face was about to smile stiffly.
When the time passed by one minute and one second, Yu Chili expected that halfway through the banquet, the revolving maiko in the center of the hall also stopped. The hall became quiet a bit, and Yu Chili turned around and gave Liu Luoyi a look.
Liu Luoyi understood her meaning and stood up. She controlled her legs that were constantly trying to tremble, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the center of the hall. She straightened her back and her slender body added The stunning appearance is very eye-catching.
Soon, the surroundings were completely quiet, everyone's eyes were looking at Liu Luoyi, and people whispered to her to communicate her identity.
"Isn't that the servant girl surnamed Liu, what is she going to do? Is it possible that she wants to disadvantage the emperor!" Wen Qiong frowned and said loudly.
Hearing this, everyone panicked. The guards guarding outside the hall raised their knives and rushed in, rushing to Liu Luoyi. Upon seeing this, Yu Chili hurriedly stood up and picked up Yuchidie, who was eating happily. Throw it out.
Yu Chidie stumbled in front of the guards. She was stunned, and immediately started shaking her head, holding the wine glass in her hand, looking drunk, and said loudly, "You, what do you want to do?"
Yuchili also hurriedly stepped forward to support Yuchidie, and said loudly, "Sister, this is not the Northern Territory. You can't splash around here if you are drunk. Quickly, let's go back. Don't make people laugh."
The two of them were standing at the entrance of the main hall. The guards held their swords and looked at each other. They couldn't walk in. They didn't know what to do.
Shen Hao frowned as he watched this farce, and said loudly, "Be quiet, you, openly disrupting the order of the state banquet, what's the matter?"
Liu Luoyi gritted his teeth, bent his knees, knelt down, and said loudly, "Maid Liu Luoyi, I want to clear up my grievances for my father!"
As soon as this was said, a pot was exploded in the hall, some people sneered, some people were confused, and it was terribly messy.
"Liu Luoyi, is the daughter of the criminal minister? Liu Luoyi has already witnessed the treason of Liu Ru's treason with the enemy. What else can she say? What is her intention?" someone said loudly.
"Yeah, I just said that there is no conspiracy, the guilty minister is the guilty minister, and the daughter of the guilty minister is also guilty. Why is she okay now?"
"Shut up, listen to her finish!" Shen Chu on the side was also taken aback by the sudden incident, but he was eager to protect Liu Luoyi, regardless of the prince Shen Sheng's obstacle, got up and shouted.
The surroundings were quiet again, everyone staring at Liu Luoyi, some were curious, and some wanted to kill and then hurry up.
"Liu Ru has been imprisoned in the sky, what else is there to say, come here, drag down this nonsense criminal minister's daughter!" A minister stood up and said angrily.
The guards walked forward at the order, Yu Chili helped Yu Chidie and ran to the other side. The two of them stretched out their feet at the same time, and secretly tripped all the guards who came forward to the ground.
Liu Luoyi took the opportunity to say again: "The emperor, please listen to the slave and maidservant. The slave and maid has concrete evidence." Her voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were firm, and she looked at Shen Hao bravely with a resolute look in her apricot eyes. .
Shen Hao's heart moved, and a sense of familiarity swept over his face. When the old man talked to him, he also had such a look, which was beyond the reach of ordinary women, so he could not forget it.
"Stop, you say." Shen Hao squinted, stood up, walked slowly down the steps, stood in front of Liu Luoyi, and looked at her condescendingly.
"The emperor, the matter of Liu Ru back then is a foregone conclusion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this woman. This woman has bad intentions, and she wants the emperor to think twice, and don't listen to her nonsense!" The minister just picked up his robe suddenly and strode towards Liu Luoyi go with.
Yu Chili suddenly felt a little irritation in her back. She turned around and saw Zhou Qing, who was drinking with her head down. He seemed to have nothing to do with him. It seemed that Cai's sight did not come from him.
Yu Chili took a peanut out of his pocket and ejected it from his sleeve. It happened to hit the minister's knee. The minister fell to the ground because he was old and inconvenient on his feet.
Shen Hao looked in the direction of Yu Chili alertly, Yu Chidie pulled Yu Chili's clothes in due course, leaned over and threw up, Yu Chili closed his eyes and resisted the urge to hit someone.
Shen Hao also retracted his gaze in disgust and stopped looking. He looked at Liu Luoyi and suddenly bent down and reached out to touch her face. Liu Luoyi wanted to hide behind, but he held it back for a long time, just like him. Watching.
Yuchi stunned.
Shen Hao's hand stayed in the air, he suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, I will listen to you."
