Chapter 91: This is sweeter

A palace banquet is all about whitewashing peace. Although the singing and dancing in the later stage seemed to be peaceful, everyone did not mention what happened before, but it is undeniable that the dragon fish of King Qi ruined the birthday.
Before the night was late, the palace banquet had dissipated, and the hustle and bustle disguised in disguise disappeared instantly, and everyone leaving the palace was silent.
Qi Yang took Lu Qipei's hand and walked slowly towards the outside of the palace with her, not compared with the people who were anxious to leave the palace, and gradually fell behind. There is a cool night breeze blowing on your face, and you can disperse the alcohol while walking slowly.
The two walked slowly, and soon there was no one nearby. Qi Yang held back all night and finally found an opportunity to ask, "Apei, what's the matter with King Qi's dragon fish?"
Lu Qipei replied somewhat casually, "I don't know, it's not that he wants to send your majesty a dead fish."
These words were pertinent, Qi Yang also felt that King Qi was not that stupid. No one is that stupid, let alone the prince, even if the sons and fathers of ordinary people have birthdays, the birthday gifts given must be meticulous, no such mistakes
Not to mention the dragon fish, the dragon fish is the only thing that everyone sees today. Who knows why the fish died, but the glass water tank is too bad, and it's too time. Even the emperor wanted to reveal the matter quietly, but in the end he failed, but exposed it in such a fierce way.
This matter, how to look at it, is strange.
Qi Yang frowned and said, "This matter is full of strangeness, and I don't know who made the black hand."
Lu Qipei turned his head and looked at the palaces hidden in the darkness. For some reason, he felt a little depressed in his heart. She retracted her gaze, turned to look at the brightly lit palace gate in front, and said casually, "His Royal Highness might as well think about it, who can make a profit in this matter."
There is always something to do, especially at the emperor’s birthday palace banquet, which is not easy to break his birthday gift. Qi Yang thought about it in his heart, but found that there was not even a suspect.
Although the prince was sick and weak, his position could not be easily shaken. He devoted all his attention to the affairs of the court, and he really hadn't dealt with these stumbling brothers. Qi Yang also didn't believe in the character of the prince, and being able to move such hands and feet not only caused his brothers to be unfilial and injustice, but also provoked the anger of the birth of the father, which made Liang Guo lose face in front of the foreign envoy.
Except for the prince, looking at Wei Wang, it is obvious that he was also quite frightened today. When he went to offer birthday gifts to the emperor under the pressure of the crowd, Qi Yang felt that he was about to cry, and the cold sweat dripped down, not like acting at all.
In the end, it was King Wu. He was the youngest among the kings and the weakest in power. He was so low-key that he wouldn't even dare to say a lot of words. It was a pity. Unless he pretends to be a pig and eat a tiger, he will not be able to make such a major event, and even if he defeats King Qi, what good will it do for him? The crown prince is still there, and King Wei is in front, and he has not heard of him and King Qi. There is a gap, what do you do for no reason
Yes, after all, it means that the prince is still alive. If he didn’t do it, then what is the point of others targeting King Qi?
Qi Yang thought for a long while but couldn't figure it out, but before he knew it, Lu Qipei took his hands out of the palace gate. After boarding the carriage and turning back to the house, Qi Yang finally sighed and said, "I can't figure it out, Xu is really surprised."
No one believes this. After returning from the palace tonight, I don't know how many people can't sleep.
After the carriage went for a while, Qi Yang suddenly sighed again, "Brother Five Emperors took great pains to prepare birthday gifts and sent them into the palace today, and I don't know if the father has seen them. However, his thoughts are in vain after making a fuss."
The dead fish still got a thorn in the emperor's heart.
The emperor seldom lived a long life, and if he lived to be fifty years old as he is today, his sudden death on one day would never be regarded as an early death. So even if the emperor's body is now healthy, he still cares about lifespan. In this case, it is impossible for him to be indifferent to the dead dragon fish on the birthday, but because of his face, it never happened.
After the birthday, the envoys of various countries who came to the court to receive the emperor's reward, all returned to the country.
After sending away the outsiders watching the excitement, King Qi's life will be very difficult for the next period of time. The reprimands of the Korean Central Committee from time to time, and the frustration from time to time during the errand, even his mother and concubine in the harem also suffered from the fish.
However, after half a month's time, King Qi, who was once so energetic and wanted to take the crown prince and replaced him, made a humiliated face. Xu Ye saw him embarrassed, and someone took the opportunity to fall into the hole, and he stabbed a few crimes before the emperor.
Everyone pushed the wall down, and the downfall of King Qi was not much slower than King Chu.
At the end of June, King Qi was banned from the palace. Although he still retains the title of Prince, the Sacred Heart has been lost, and he himself has fallen into depression. If there are no accidents, this person is also abandoned.
When receiving the news that King Qi had been banned, Qi Yang was lying in the waterside.
The weather at the end of June was the hottest time in midsummer, and even staying in the house felt bored. So Qi Yang has recently fallen in love with taking a nap in the waterside pavilion. It is ventilated here, and there is water flow to adjust the temperature, which is much cooler than staying elsewhere. When you open your eyes, you can also see lotus pavilions and lotus leaf fields in the pond. The scenery is also good.
Qiyang had a leisurely life, but the situation in Beijing changed again in this summer escape. When Zhi Ting stepped forward to relay the news, he was still a little bit emotional, "The King of Chu was only relegated three months ago, and now King Qi is also abandoned by His Majesty. This is really true."
Zhi Ting didn't finish her words, but Qi Yang already understood what she meant. He was nothing but a companion like a tiger. He didn't know what happened tonight. But Qi Yang sighed after hearing her voice, but he couldn't help but give birth to some other thoughts. The emperor's adult princes will gather together just these few, the king of Chu and the king of Qi have fallen one after another, is it too soon, too coincidental?
Just thinking about these and none, Lu Qipei came back.
In the midsummer season, the official duties of Dali Temple have not diminished, and Lu Qipei has been very busy recently. It was a rare early return today. Qi Yang was very happy to see her coming back. He waved her to come over and said, "You came back quite early today."
Lu Qipei walked to the water pavilion and sat down. He was blown by the breeze, and suddenly felt a lot cooler. She leaned on the railing, looking not as upright as she used to be, adding a bit of laziness. "It's rare to have less things today. I stole half a day of leisure." After speaking, she sighed again, "Ah, Your Highness, let me tell you, Dali Temple is a summer It's as hot as a steamer, and there is not much ice. It's not a place for people to stay."
She murmured and complained, and Qi Yang laughed, "I told you last year, if you dislike the ice in Dali Temple, you can bring some from the house. You are a concierge, no one dares to say anything. "
Lu Qipei waved his hand, not intending to take up this conversation.
Qi Yang knew her reaction long ago, and didn't persuade him much, and walked to her with the grapes. When she was about to sit down with Lu Qipei, she saw her rejection, and suddenly thrust the plate into her hand with no anger, then turned it back.
Lu Qipei knew she was upset, but the weather was still sticky, even if she was in love with Qi Yang, she couldn't bear it. She had no choice but to smile at Qi Yang's kindness, and said, "Dali Temple handled the case, and I went out for a day with me today. I was covered in sweat before I had time to wash it. Your Highness doesn't dislike it, and I dislike it myself."
Qi Yang ignored her. Lu Qipei looked at the fruit plate in his hand, and he hurriedly peeled a grape and handed it to Qi Yang. "His Royal Highness, don't be angry with me. It's good for this kind of weather, and anger is even more anxious."
In the end, Qi Yang didn't even look at her, turned his head and said, "You are all sweaty, I dislike it."
Lu Qipei had to continue to coax, until Qi Yang ate the grapes, she was relieved. He sat next to Qi Yang holding the fruit plate again, peeled a grape and ate one by himself, and then fed another one to Qi Yang. After a while, it looked sweet and greasy.
People in the princess's mansion, such as Zhi Ting, never worry about the two being arguing. Because there will always be someone to put down their body to coax each other, this time it’s a messenger, and next time it’s a princess. The two of them just agreed, never let bad emotions take up too much time. They haven’t seen the future clearly yet, so Always cherish every moment together.
After the two of them ate a small half plate of grapes, Qi Yang refused.
Lu Qipei ate the grapes by himself, and said, "This grape tastes not bad. If you plant two trees in the Fuzhong, you can climb the vine and bear fruit, and you can eat it under the vine."
Qi Yang didn't care about this little thing, and whether Lu Qipei was just talking about it, he turned his head and told Zhi Ting to do it. Turning around, he said to Lu Qipei, "This grape was sent from the Zhuangzi. If you like it, we will go to Zhuangzi another day. Do you want to enjoy the shade under the grape trellis or pick the fruit under the grape trellis? you."
Lu Qipei just said casually, seeing Qi Yang earnestly, he couldn't help but laugh, "That's good, let's go when Xiumu. Pick some grapes back, just take it to the government office, so that my colleagues will taste it."
The two chatted a few words, and Qi Yang finally turned the topic back to business, "Have you heard that today, did you hear that Prince Qi, the father of the king, has forbidden his foot in the palace. It seems that he is completely disgusted." After speaking, his voice turned lighter. He said, "Apei, do you think that King Chu just fell, and King Qi was following the loss, is it too fast, too coincidental"
Lu Qipei's movement of eating grapes paused, staring for a moment, and then suddenly said, "His Royal Highness, let me ask, if the prince has lost, then among the remaining kings, there is someone who can convince you."
Qi Yang was slightly startled when he heard the words, but then he shook his head without even thinking about it, "No, none of them can compare to Brother Huang."
After listening to Lu Qipei's continued eating of grapes, he knew the answer well, "In that case, let's concentrate on protecting the prince. The rest of the kings let them fight and let them win, and what does it have to do with us"
That's not wrong. Qi Yang didn't bother to control the left and right after thinking about it. Only Wang Wei and Wang Wu remained. She wanted to see who was behind the shot and who could stand till the end.
After thinking about this, when Lu Qipei had just peeled a grape and put it in his mouth, Qi Yang's eyes flashed, and he leaned forward to grab it.
Lu Qipei smiled helplessly, and twisted another grape, "Isn't your lord not eating it?"
Qi Yang lifted his chin somewhat proudly, "This is sweeter."
While speaking, his eyes lingered on Lu Qipei's lips.
