Chapter 56 Crisis
"I'm just asking why you are so excited."
The male student turned around and found that it was Jiang Shuo who was sitting there. He thought that he and he were the only two men joining the cabinet this time, so he didn't bother to argue with him. He muttered something in a low voice and stopped talking.
Ignoring all the stares, Ye Qingwan found where the two of them were sitting. Only then did she realize that this dinner was not divided into men and women. Looking at the two empty seats, Ye Qingwan chose to sit next to Jiang Shuo.
, she sat down elegantly next to him, keeping Bai Yanran away from him, and then quietly waited for the dinner to begin.
There was only one stick of incense left before the banquet started. After the five students arrived, some of the emperor's concubines arrived, followed by the belated princes.
Finally, the emperor in dragon robe came leisurely.
Ye Qingwan raised her eyes to look at the man. Emperor Chong'en of Chu Yi was only in his early forties this year. In his strong years, he should have been strong and radiant, but he was tortured by illness.
His sallow face looked so haggard that he looked more than ten years old, and his temples were also turning gray.
The strange thing was that after the banquet had started for a while, the seat next to Emperor Chong'en was still empty. Ye Qingwan thought for a while, maybe Queen Shanzhen, who didn't like the excitement, was sick and couldn't come.
Looking further down, there are some faces that are not unfamiliar or even slightly familiar.
First there was the iceberg beauty Chen Guifei with an indifferent face. She sat there quietly without saying anything or looking at anything. She seemed a bit out of place with the lively people around her. To outsiders, they would think she was aloof, but Ye Qingwan
You know, she is like this, she doesn't like liveliness, she doesn't like to talk, she is a cold man to everyone, she is extremely difficult to get along with, and she has the same cold attitude even towards the emperor.
As for why Ye Qingwan knows her? Naturally, it’s because Concubine Chen was her mother-in-law twice in her previous life. How could she not understand her mother-in-law? Why two more times? That’s because Concubine Chen was her mother-in-law twice at the same time.
The adoptive mother of Shen Heng and Shen Xun.
Looking over, Song Zhaoyi, who is flirtatious even in her bones, is joking with Wang Zhaoyi, who likes to shake a light fan all year round. Sitting next to them is a graceful and elegant woman with benevolent features, Concubine Wu.
Emperor Chong'en sat on top and looked down at the people below. Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became serious, he smiled and told everyone not to be nervous, just treat this celebration banquet as an ordinary family banquet and just have fun.
But who really dares?
Without exception, they are all submissive and no one dares to say anything about what they should eat and drink.
Suddenly, Emperor Chong'en put his fist to his lips and coughed violently. This cough made everyone present couldn't help but become nervous again. Seeing this, Xu Mao hurriedly handed over the handkerchief. Emperor Chong'en waved his hand and coughed.
It gradually slowed down, and after a long pause, Emperor Chong'en said in a hoarse voice: "I heard about today's assessment, where are the five students now?"
"Over there, Your Majesty." Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Emperor Chong'en, Xu Mao's heart suddenly dropped. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face and pointed to Ye Qingwan.
Emperor Chong'en moved his turbid eyes, and suddenly paused when he glanced at the red color. He raised his skinny fingers and pointed in the direction of the girl. He turned his head and asked Xu Mao: "Whose family does that belong to?"
?”
Xu Mao put on a smile and introduced to Emperor Chong'en: "Your Majesty, that is the legitimate daughter of General Ye's family, Ye Yin Ye Qingwan."
Emperor Chong'en was obviously stunned, and his eyes brightened slightly. He then asked Xu Mao to introduce several other students. When he introduced Jiang Shuo, the corners of Emperor Chong'en's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
For a moment.
After Xu Mao finished the introduction, Emperor Chong'en put his right hand under his chin. After a moment of reflection, he sat up straight and said in a very interested tone: "Ye Yin, come forward and let me have a look."
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Qingwan again.
Ye Qingwan was startled. Being named directly like this must be unavoidable. She didn't know what the emperor had in mind for her.
There was no time for her to think too much. Ye Qingwan stood up calmly and walked up to Emperor Chong'en in a regular manner. She bowed respectfully, then raised her head and looked directly at Emperor Chong'en.
"My daughter has met Your Majesty."
Emperor Chong'en raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qingwan carefully as if he were looking at prey. He didn't expect that the vulgar idiot who was rumored to be in the capital would actually have such a good appearance. There was no vulgarity in his gestures and gestures. On the contrary, he was better than those in the palace.
He knew how to behave politely, which I must say really impressed him.
Ye Qingwan felt very uncomfortable when he looked at him. Just when he was about to ask Emperor Chong'en what was going on, Emperor Chong'en spoke first: "It is said that a tiger father has no dog daughter. Ye Aiqing is protecting his family and country in northern Xinjiang, and his daughter is also
It’s so outstanding, good, really good.”
Emperor Chong'en's two good words in succession made Ye Qingwan feel bad. She frowned slightly and lowered her head, saying: "This is my father's duty, and I just happened to be lucky enough to pass the examination and excel."
These two words are absolutely unacceptable."
Hearing this, Emperor Chong'en laughed loudly and said: "Miss Ye, there is no need to be so humble." Then he changed the topic: "I am very happy today. Since Ye Aiqing is not in the capital, I will reward you for him. What do you think of Miss Ye?
"
Ye Qingwan was stunned.
This is not a good sign.
At the banquet, Jiang Shuo clenched his fists and cursed in his heart that this old guy was really not a human being and actually wanted to attack Ye Qingwan. Why did the royal family of Chu Yi like to steal people from him?
The atmosphere in the Hongguang Palace suddenly became subtle, and many people looked at Ye Qingwan with the attitude of watching the excitement.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ye Qingwan is being targeted by Emperor Chong'en. Everyone is looking at the embarrassed girl, wondering how she will respond this time.
Ye Ningxue was so happy at the women's banquet, even God was helping her vent her anger!
On the other side, the princes also watched with great joy.
"Ye Qingwan is so beautiful," King Shu looked at Ye Qingwan with his head down, and shook his head with regret and said to King Quercus next to him: "It's a pity, I didn't know that tonight
Can she walk out of the Rainbow Palace safely?"
King Quercus sneered and said, "Is it possible that you are interested in her?"
"Yes." King Shu did not hide his lust at all. He licked his lips and smiled obscenely: "If my father hadn't fallen in love with her, I would have really wanted to meet Miss Ye San."
A slightly childish voice interrupted the conversation between the two of them: "What are you talking about?"
The two of them turned their heads to look, and saw a young man sucking his fingers into his mouth. King Shu looked disgusted, "Who brought this fool?"
King Quercus shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Beside them, Shen Heng's eyes were sinister. He stared straight at King Shu, with murderous intent deep in his eyes. The hand clenched into a fist in his sleeve had been loosened, and he touched the sharp blade hidden in it. .As long as King Shu said a few more words, he would kill King Shu on the spot.
