After the Eldest Princess sat down, the banquet officially began. The sound of singing and dancing lingered in the air as they gracefully wrapped around the slender, white, and soft arms of the beauties. It was a scene of prosperity that was charming and extravagant, causing one to be intoxicated with a single glance.
Under the cover of the music, Hui Mo angrily bent down and whispered in Xiahou Qing's ear, "Shizi Ye, why didn't you let me reason with the Fourth Prince just now? He clearly knows that today's occasion is unusual, but he still targeted our Nanping Mansion and you. He is extremely vicious! "
Xiahou Qing's fingers gently tapped along with the melody of the court musician and said casually, "It is because today's occasion is unusual that we can't act rashly. He chose this day and place to make things difficult for us in order to force us to show our anger. "What he wants to do is very simple. The first step is to provoke us into going against him. The second step is to continue adding fuel to the fire. The moment you draw your sword in front of His Majesty, that will be the beginning of His Majesty's suspicion and the beginning of our destruction." Hui Mo, you have always been impulsive. You have to be more careful in the future. Don't fall into such a shallow trap. "
Huimo was confused, "His Majesty has trusted you so much recently, especially his head disease. Every time, the imperial doctors couldn't help him. Only when you came to the palace with him did His Majesty calm down a little. How could he be bewitched by his baseless words?"
"Yes, His Majesty does favor me, but I'm afraid he favors the military power of our Nanping Mansion more. The Southern Yan Kingdom is pressing on step by step. Although this time it was resolved by marriage, in my opinion, there will be a war between the two countries within three years. His Majesty is beginning to grow old. When he still has the strength, he will want to make a political achievement that will be remembered in history. However, Old Prince Yu passed away, the Xue Family was turned into powder, and the Song Family, the Defender-general of the State, also lost the direct line. At present, only our Nanping Mansion still has the strength to fight. This strength is what we rely on to gain a foothold, but it may also be the fire that causes a disaster. If we lose ourselves, this war will be lost. "
Huimo scratched his head and said confusedly, "But … I don't think it's just like that. The way His Majesty looks at you is very kind and generous, just like … just like the way His Highness looks at you. I don't think he just treats you as a subject." It seems that I'm too naive! The people in the palace are too gloomy and scary. Our Yunyan Province is better. "
He thought about it and was still unconvinced, "But we were humiliated by the Fourth Prince like this. How can we just let it go? Just now, he kept saying that you won't live long. I'm so angry! I'm really angry! I can't swallow this! "
Jiusi leaned forward and poured a cup of wine for Xiahou. He squinted at Huimo who clenched his fists and was so angry that he looked like a pufferfish. He said slowly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Our Nanping Mansion has always been a place where we won't attack unless we are attacked first. Since others have shown their dagger to us first, there is no reason for us to swallow the insult. Returning ten times is a bit overbearing, but this subordinate feels that returning two times is just right. What do you think, Crown Prince? "
The corners of Xiahou Qing's lips curled up slightly, forming an arc that was not a smile. "I'll allow it. However, be careful not to go overboard."
"Yes, Sir."
Huimo looked at Jiu Si who said the most ruthless words with a calm expression. Thinking of the means he used to punish people in the past, he felt a chill in his heart. But thinking that he punished the Fourth Prince this time, he immediately felt happy and comfortable all over his body. Everything tasted good.
His Majesty seemed to be in a good mood today. After exchanging greetings with Tuoba Han and others, he specially summoned Princess Royal, Xiao Mingxue. Having just experienced the sudden death of an envoy, everyone who had been tense all this while began to relax. They exchanged pleasantries, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Amidst this harmonious atmosphere, the sound of a wine cup shattering suddenly rang out, interrupting the smiles on everyone's faces.
For a moment, everyone's eyes subconsciously followed the sound.
Xiahou Qing's eyebrows slightly moved, "What happened?"
Hui Mo immediately looked up, "Oh, it seems that Princess Royal accidentally broke the wine cup. It shouldn't be a big deal. Huh? What's the matter? Princess Royal's face looks bad. Let me see. "
He was so engrossed in watching the commotion that he did not notice that Prince Ke, Xiao Minglan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly woke up. His fingers tightened and his pair of amorous eyes were as dark as ink.
