Chapter 28
King Jing took out the crystal bottle. Not far behind him, Wang Xi stepped forward and put down a small aquarium of coral carving on the king's case. The water was ready in advance. King Jing took up his sleeve and put the fish into the water himself. He watched the fish swim freely for a while.
King Jing takes a look at Wang Xi and plans to feed the fish.
Wang Xi took out the bamboo box containing the fish food and handed it to King Jing. He turned around again and lost his eyes to some of the chamberlains at his heel. The Chamberlain took many snacks from King Jing's house and set them in front of the fish tank one by one.
King Jing took two fish food, put it into the fish tank, and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake. First, he crushed half of it to the little fish. He ate the rest half as if nothing had happened.
Free to have nothing to do carefully around the king to feed the fish of the crowd:???
They said that they should be blind. Is king Jing like this?
After King Jing put him into the VAT, Li Yu rubbed his opponent's fingers cleverly. Fish food and peach blossom cake came down. Recently, some young carp who liked the new and disliked the old ones first ate the peach blossom cakes, and then ate the fish food after they were half full.
King Jing saw that the fish was eating happily. He took another kind of silver Dan cake, broke it and fed it.
Now plum fish is very happy to try new food. He tasted it. The new cake was full of mint fragrance, which went straight to the head. People liked it, but the fish couldn't bear it. After a bite, the plum fish left it. He still went to eat peach blossom cake. King knew that his fish didn't like silver Dan cake.
"There is no need to prepare this silver Dan cake in the future."
Wang Gonggong, known as the roundworm in King Jing's stomach, immediately ordered several internal servants to write down, and they nodded repeatedly.
The people sitting around King Jing were dazzled, but ye Qinghuan was not surprised.
In the sound of silk and bamboo, the second prince mu Tianzhao gets up, and the Ministry of rites arranges the eldest sons of the second prince to propose a toast to King Jinjue at the state banquet. Mu Tianzhao is graceful and decent, and has a good conversation with king Jinjue. King Jinjue speaks highly of Mu Tianzhao and drinks three cups in a row.
The emperor was quite satisfied with mu Tianzhao's performance. King Jue praised the second prince. The emperor's face was bright, capable and decent, which was also one of the advantages of the second prince.
Mu Tianzhao feels that the emperor is in a good mood and smiles at the petite figure of King Jue.
he has failed in recent times. He is not very emperor. Recently, the eyeliner placed in the palace of Qing Dynasty gave him a message. The king of Jin gave an audience this time, intending to marry the little princess.
Mu Tianzhao spent a lot of effort to repair the relationship with King Jing. However, King Jing didn't kill him. Mu Tianzhao also wanted to win over Chengen mansion. However, King Jing and Chengen mansion were obviously tied to a rope. He ate a little shriveled at King Jing's place, and Chengen mansion was indifferent to him.
It is said that the third prince has succeeded in filling his concubines in King Jing's residence. Mu Tianzhao is afraid that the third prince will win over King Jing and get the support of Chengen government. King Jing can't do it. He has to find other ways to help himself, but what he can't do is too obvious. After all, the emperor is still watching.
At this time, marriage came to the door.
Mu Tianzhao has a good plan. Although Jin Jue is a small border country, he has money and horses. If he marries Princess Jinjue, Jin will definitely not let him go to support other princes. In this way, even if the emperor had an opinion on him, it would not be so easy to shake his position.
As for Princess Jinjue himself, it's a great honor to be his side concubine. He can promise that he will be granted a royal concubine when he ascends the throne in the future.
Mu Tianzhao thought that for the help of Jin Jue, the little princess would be ugly, and she would accept it if there was no salt. But when she came to the state banquet, she looked beautiful and pretty. Compared with the women of the dynasty, she had a different style. Mu Tianzhao already had 80 wishes in her heart.
"Princess." Mu Tianzhao ordered people to bring a plate of dim sum. He said softly, "this is the famous butterfly crisp in this dynasty. Please taste it."
As the name implies, butterfly pastry is made into the shape of butterfly wings, and are in pairs, with the meaning of a hundred years of love. The princess, who wants to know the princess's intention, is to let the princess return to heaven.
The emperor also saw it above. The second prince was probably in love with the foreign princess.
The emperor originally liked the marriage of Prince Chengen's son and princess Jinjue. He only saw that ye Qinghuan had a solemn look when he received the order. It didn't look like he was interested in the princess. The emperor wanted to try again to find out Ye Qinghuan's words. He had to discuss with Chengen government, but he didn't give the marriage directly. Unexpectedly, the second prince suddenly appeared.
The emperor was discontented. He thought that the second prince didn't know the meaning of the sage, so he shouldn't easily blame him. He had already rejected the idea of marrying Princess Jinjue to the prince. If the second prince had this intention, he would have run into a wall. Unless Princess Jinjue took the initiative to let go and was willing to be the second prince's wife, he would have done 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 affairs, so he did not stop him.
King Jue ordered people to present butterfly cakes to the princess. The little princess just laughed and did not reach for the snack.
Mu Tianzhao estimates that the princess doesn't know the meaning of butterfly, and wants to take the opportunity to show off again. Suddenly, he finds that Princess Jinjue is not looking at him at all. His pretty face only looks at him in the distance.Mu Tianzhao:
Mu Tianzhao couldn't get down on his face and didn't worry to speak again. However, his eyes could not help following the princess's line of sight. Then he saw King Jing laying out a table full of snacks to feed the fish, and the fish were lying on the edge of the fish tank wagging their tails.
It turned out that the princess was looking at the fish. It was the fish that the second prince would have an accident. Every time the fish wagged its tail, the princess couldn't help but hook her lips.
Mu Tianzhao hated him. However, he was afraid that the fish would not come into the sight of the fish.
Princess Jinjue's face was flushed with laughter, and she whispered with king Jinjue from time to time. The second prince only heard a very light word "fish". The other words were not heard clearly, but it was enough. He was very sure that the damned fish had taken away his popularity.
Princess Jinjue is also a blind fish. How can he compare with his future prince?
Mu Tianzhao glanced at the emperor, and the emperor noticed that King Jing fed the fish. Instead of blaming him, the emperor was smiling. He seemed very happy to see King Jing busy with fish. Mu Tianzhao's vines, named jealousy, grew up in a dense and dense way.
He is a decent second prince and the future prince. After all, he can't do anything to a fish. Mu Tianzhao sits back with a calm face. He is flustered. He is stunned for a while, but no one pays any attention to him. The second prince then gave orders to the Chamberlain who was in charge of his cooking.
The Chamberlain took his orders and came back soon, holding a bowl with a little soup in it.
The Chamberlain knelt down tremblingly and said, "Your Highness, the carp soup is not prepared in the dining room today. The fish soup needs to be boiled now. I can't get it for a while. I'm afraid that your highness will wait for a long time. I took a bowl of white jade ball soup first. Your highness, please come in some..."
Although the Chamberlain was so light that he could not stand it, someone was staring at the second prince. Mu Tianming, whose seat was not far from the second prince, immediately said in a loud voice: "brother Er, the dishes at the state banquet are not to your taste. Why do you want to drink carp soup all of a sudden?"
Mu Tianming deliberately yelled out the word "carp". Many people present, surprised to see the second prince, will go to see king.
Because there was only one carp beside King Jing.
Li Yu raised his head from the fish tank and awoke awkwardly: Oh, how shy. The second prince is afraid that he doesn't want to make soup with him! But he was still eating at the master's place.
Mu Tianzhao:
Mu Tianzhao felt Jing Wang's cold eyes projected on him. He felt confused, but he did nothing.
Mu Tianzhao gritted his teeth and rebuked: "brother Sanhuang, you think too much. I just feel thirsty and want to drink some soup."
The second prince's heart is extremely twisted. Does he have to have a mouthful of fish soup.
King Jing looks at mu Tianzhao coldly. Wang Xili is on the edge, but he has already scolded him for him.
The emperor frowned and drank a bowl of fish soup, which was nothing, but only king Jing brought the fish. The second prince's intention was too obvious. Perhaps even the second prince himself did not expect to be exposed by the third prince.
The emperor loved his house and loved his dog. He had an excellent impression on the little carp. He also felt that the second prince was a little bit spirited.
Princess Jinjue was watching the fish raised by King Jingwang just now. She watched it from afar for several times. She liked it very much. When she learned that the second Prince wanted to drink the fish soup, the little princess got up and said angrily, "Your Highness, the fish is so lovely, but you should drink the fish soup in front of it. I can't believe that you are such a person!"
Just now the second prince gave her butterfly cakes, but Princess Jinjue didn't like it very much. Although she is young, she has seen through that the second prince is scheming for her and Jin Jue. She also knows that marrying the second prince can only be a side room. Princess Jinjue is not stupid. She supports the second prince with all her strength, and it is not worth it to change to another imperial concubine that can be abolished later. It is not easy to say whether and when the second prince will be able to ascend the throne. Jin never wants to get involved in the dispute easily.
Therefore, Princess Jinjue never paid attention to the second prince. When she learned that the second prince was secretly rubbing the ground to drink fish soup, no one else would tell. The little princess who was not afraid of heaven and earth would jump out and trample on the second prince's feet. She also expressed to the Emperor that she would not marry the second prince. Don't even think about it!
"Princess, you misunderstood me. It's not so..."
Mu Tianzhao was speechless and filled with anger. He didn't know how to explain it.
Can he say that he didn't drink fish soup in front of the fish, but wanted to kill the fish and stew directly?
The emperor could see clearly that Princess Jinjue had no intention to the second prince, so he should not allow the second prince to use any obscene means. If the words were good, the princess would like to hear it well, but if the words were bad, it would be a hook.
Just now the emperor felt that the second prince had been fighting for him, but now he felt that his face was painful.
As expected, ye Qinghuan is more suitable.
The emperor looked at Ye Shizi, who was sitting at the king's side and said nothing. He put a mature and steady stamp on him in his heart. After the state banquet, the emperor planned to leave Chengen and ye Shizi to talk alone.
The second Prince later learned that the emperor intended to marry Princess Jinjue and his son-in-law of Chengen. He was already meeting Chengen.
It turns out that these people are a group And he, who was greatly humiliated at the state banquet, asked for nothing.Princess Jinjue refused him. Chengen government refused to help him. King Jing and his fish were laughing at him!
The second prince felt that he had endured for too long. He could not bear it. He had to move.
