I won't be a courtier anymore

Chapter 38 Chapter 38

"Okay, okay." Li Bai said intermittently, his eyes barely shone with stars, Xie Feng funnyly ruffled the broken hair on Li Bai's forehead, Li Bai's eyes smiled like crescent moons, Xie Feng He smiled and said, "Eat quickly, it's getting cold."

"En." Li Bai hurriedly turned around and continued to eat.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was a big festival, and a dinner was held in the palace.Now that Xu Jiwu just got engaged with His Majesty's favorite princess, it was considered a happy event. The palace planned to hold a big event to make the old emperor happy. Xie Feng also received a post from the palace.

Xie Feng put it on the desk casually, Li Bai accidentally saw it, he seemed a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't say it out, after all, such a reunion festival, Li Bai also wanted to spend it with Xie Feng.

Xie Feng was also worried, the situation in the palace had reached the current stage, and he didn't dare to walk away easily, especially the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which is prone to incidents.

"Xiao Bai, can I come back as early as possible from the dinner party?" Xie Feng and Li Bai sat beside the bed, discussing shamelessly with their whole bodies on Li Bai's body.

Li Bai gave a muffled "hmm": "Brother, when can I go out?"

Xie Feng rubbed Li Bai's head, and sighed: "My brother is waiting too, soon."

People all over the capital are waiting for the old emperor to die.

The mid-autumn night banquet invited all the royal relatives, relatives, and officials of the court in Beijing. The imperial concubine was in charge, and it was held in the Xian'an Hall next to the imperial garden. I wanted to enjoy the moon in the imperial garden, but it rained all day during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let alone admiring the moon, the imperial garden is full of rain, and there is not even a dry place to stay.

The old emperor just came over to show his face, drank a glass of light wine with the ministers, rewarded some things as usual, and then went back to the palace, relying on the noble concubine to preside over the town, while the two princes greeted the guests.

Zhao Qin has been unhappy for the past few days, and he doesn't have a good face when he sees people. He sits next to the concubine with a cold face and doesn't say a word. He occasionally drinks a few sips of wine. They were about to become in-laws, but the two sat together very affectionately, even the second prince, fourth princess, Xie Feng, and Xu Jiwu didn't even get called to the same place.

Xie Feng's three cousins ​​each toasted a glass of wine. The noble concubine and Mrs. Huaiyin Hou drank with a smile. Waiting for yourself at home.

Zhao Qin suddenly raised his head and called out, "Cousin."

Xie Feng was often called cousin by Zhao Qin since he was a child. Since Zhao Qin was a child, when Xie Feng followed his mother into the palace, Zhao Qin followed Xie Feng and called him cousin. At that time, Zhao Qin was still A little girl, wearing a pink palace dress, looks like the little fairy in the painting.

"En." Xie Feng subconsciously responded.

Zhao Qin smiled, and a trace of displeasure flashed across the faces of the noble concubine and the Marquis of Huaiyin, Zhao Qin said: "Now you are the only one in the Hou's mansion, it will inevitably be miserable during the festival, you should find a good girl as soon as possible."

Xie Feng glanced sideways at Xu Jiwu, but he saw that Xu Jiwu didn't know what he was talking to the second prince, and didn't care about what the two said.

Xie Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

"I really want to go back to when we were young." Zhao Qin sighed with a smile, turned around and left without saying goodbye to the noble concubine, the expressions on the faces of the noble concubine and the Marquis of Huaiyin became more and more embarrassing.

Seeing this, Xie Feng hurriedly said: "Madam, ma'am, Xie Feng is going to have a few drinks with his colleagues, so he will take his leave first." Saying this, he quickly retreated respectfully.

If you don't leave now, when will you stay?See, there are still big problems in this marriage. The old emperor can decisively betroth Zhao Qin to Xu Jiwu. If he said that his little aunt did not do anything in the middle, Xie Feng would not believe it.

The Marquis of Huaiyin cares most about face and status in her life. This time when Xu Jiwu marries the princess, her position in the Marquis of Huaiyin's mansion will be unshakable.

The banquet was finally coming to an end, Xie Feng couldn't sit still anymore.

"Master Hou, the imperial concubine and Mrs. Huaiyin Hou are here to invite you." Suddenly a young eunuch said to Xie Feng, Xie Feng looked at the seat, and sure enough the noble concubine and Mrs. Huaiyinhou were not there.

"I don't know what's going on with your empress and Mrs. Hou?" Seeing such a strange little eunuch, Xie Feng immediately became suspicious. He is not a fledgling kid, so he still has a little bit of wariness.

"The little one doesn't know, the empress and Mrs. Hou are waiting for you in the back hall." The little eunuch said respectfully.

Fifteen didn't know when he stood beside Xie Feng, he nodded slightly, and Xie Feng knew that the imperial concubine and Mrs. Huaiyin Hou were indeed in the apse.

Xie Feng stood up and said, "I have Mr. Lao."

"Don't dare if you have trouble, thank you Marquis." Xie Feng glanced at Xu Jiwu, who was half drunk, and gently pushed him before leaving: "Don't drink too much, you are in the palace."

Xu Jiwu nodded muffled.

Xie Feng followed the eunuch to the apse. The apse was just a resting place, a bit empty. The noble concubine and Mrs. Huaiyin Marquis sat on the soft bed beside them, their expressions were not very good, and Zhao Qin knelt on the side.

"Xie Feng has met the imperial concubine, madam." Xie Feng said with a bow.

"Qin'er, now my concubine has called someone over for you, if you have anything to say, just say it in front of me and your future mother-in-law." The imperial concubine said with a cold face.

"Mother Concubine, do you only have the second brother in your eyes? Do you only have the throne in your eyes?" Zhao Qin said with tears, the arrogance of the past is not absent in the voice, but at this moment, it sounds more bitter and wronged.

"Qin'er, what do you say? Could this be the reason why you are dissatisfied with the marriage?" The imperial concubine frowned, "You and your brother are both children of this palace, Qin'er, are you still so willful? Look Women in Beijing, who is as capricious as you?"

"I know that you want the emperor to be the crown prince and the emperor, but you shouldn't use my happiness as a bargaining chip. Today I just want to make a break with my cousin. Why do you doubt me so much, and even humiliate me!" With red eyes, she said, "I am the princess, and I am Da Qi's princess!"

"You are still my daughter!" The imperial concubine was so angry that she threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

"But do you regard me as your daughter?" Zhao Qin cried, "You clearly know that Xu Jiwu is not the one I like, and you decided on my marriage with her." Zhao Qin pointed at Mrs. Huaiyinhou and cried Out of breath.

Xie Feng roughly understood what was going on, probably the princess sent someone to look for him, but was stopped by the noble concubine's people, and ninety percent of them still met with Mrs. Huaiyinhou.

"Today, I don't want this face anymore. I called Xie Feng over for you. Let Xie Feng say, does he have the slightest admiration for you?" The imperial concubine was also trembling with anger, pointing at Xie Feng Trembling Road.

"I have never had any feelings of admiration for the princess." Xie Feng said.

Zhao Qin's mood obviously calmed down. Following Xie Feng's words, the imperial concubine and Mrs. Hou were also obviously relieved. Zhao Qin slumped on the ground, and she cried bitterly: "I know, but I have liked you since I was a child. I always thought that when I grow up, we will be together."

"Cousin, is it because you belong to the eldest brother that we can't be together?" Zhao Qin cried.

Xie Feng was hit by the sentence.

Suddenly there was a deathly silence in the back hall, only the sound of Zhao Qin weeping in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well." The imperial concubine's personal eunuch quickly walked in, and said in her ear, the imperial concubine's face changed immediately, and she hurriedly ordered: "Take the princess down, lock her into the bedroom, and don't go out."

After saying that, he ordered people to send Madam Huaiyin and Xie Feng out. Although Xie Feng didn't hear what the concubine said to the eunuch, he already guessed that the people sent by the concubine surrounded Xie Feng and sent them back .

It was raining heavily at night, with the sound of horseshoes accompanied by water splashes, Shiliu got into the carriage without a sound, and squatted in front of Xie Feng, Xie Feng calmly untied the token around his waist: "Tell the First Prince, Your Majesty If you have something to do, hurry to the palace."

Sixteen nodded, taking advantage of the night and disappearing into the heavy rain.

Xie Feng rubbed his temples, he didn't expect so many things to happen today, the people following outside watched him closely, Sixteen was urgently sent to deliver a letter to the First Prince, Fifteen has been active in the crowd Under his eyes, once he makes a move, Xie Feng will directly tear his face off with the second prince. The more this time comes, the less anxious he is.

"Master Hou, we're here." Fifteen said from outside the car.

Li Bai and Zhujiu had been waiting for a long time. They thought that Xie Feng would come back early, but they didn't expect that at this moment, there was a group of guards from the palace beside the carriage. Li Bai was frightened, and he looked at Xie Feng, Xie Feng patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, and said to Zhujiu: "Brothers in the imperial army, please go in and have a cup of hot tea."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kindness. I have to go back to report later, so I won't bother you." The first person said.

Xie Feng nodded, turned around and went in, there was no displeasure on Zhujiu's face, but his eyes were still somewhat displeased, and the doorkeeper quickly closed the door.

"Why were there so many people just now? What happened?" Li Bai asked with some fear.

Xie Feng rubbed Li Bai's head, comfortingly said: "Don't worry, I have a bottom line in my heart."

Li Bai reluctantly nodded: "That's good, I was really scared just now. I said why you haven't come back. I waited for a long time and starved to death."

"You haven't eaten yet?" Xie Feng's tone turned cold. He was sent back to the mansion forcibly by the imperial concubine just now. His expression was not so serious, "Bamboo wine?"

Zhujiu was so frightened that he looked at Li Bai as if asking for help, Li Bai hurriedly interceded for Zhujiu: "Don't blame Zhujiu, it's all my fault, I actually ate some cakes this afternoon, but I couldn't eat any more at night , and this has dragged on until now.”

While talking, Li Bai looked at Xie Feng pitifully, just when Xie Feng was about to let Li Bai go, Li Bai suddenly let out a "squeeze", Xie Feng's face immediately became more gloomy, Li Bai Bai again covered his nose and sneezed several times, his face turned red.

Xie Feng frowned and said coldly: "This is the master you take care of, Zhujiu, you have become more and more powerful recently."
