Reborn! The terminally ill prince has taken a fancy to me again

Chapter 168 Making things difficult at the banquet

"Well, I'll keep it for my mother to eat."

Little Douding ran out.

When Mei Zhuoxue came in, she just happened to pass by him, looking at the figure who was bouncing around three times, she was confused: "Who is he?"

Hua Zuili knocked on the table and smiled coquettishly: "It's rare that His Royal Highness doesn't know about it."

The girl's coquettish and coquettish sly look of a little fox made Mei Zhuoxue's heart itch. He walked over and bent down, raised her chin and looked directly into her eyes: "So bold, isn't it time to beg for mercy at night?"

Hua Zuili blushed when she said that, but she stared back not to be outdone: "What's more, I disappeared early in the morning, where did you go?"

"Hehe, secret."

Mei Zhuoxue kindly pecked at the corner of her lips and let her go.

The white of the fish belly in the sky has quietly risen, the dense night has been receded, and a layer of warm light has turned, and the maids who have come to serve have filed in, holding clear water, towels, and saponins... Do things respectfully, just a word Did not say.

After all, she is not one of her own subordinates, Hua Zuili is not easy to use, and she is afraid that someone will do something secretly with malicious intentions in the process, so she dismisses them from serving them, and Mei Zhuoxue also resigns them, but his Somebody must be contracted out for the service.

Dawn had completely broken in the sky, and the heavy ancient bell struck twelve times.

The snow-white palace was shining brightly under the early sun, and the beautiful maidservant held exquisite dishes and placed them on the table one by one. The welcome banquet of the mission was just beginning at this time. The officials were divided into left and right sides, and the little emperor was on the top. She and Mei Zhuoxue were sitting at the front right, and opposite them was Qiu Shangyun.

Singing and dancing, surrounded by white gauze dancers, gentle and elegant, Hua Zuili secretly looked at those ministers, each with a gentleman's demeanor, the willow waist and white skin of the dancer, just like seeing a skeleton, only a few He rolled his thief's eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Looking at the group of wooden men, Hua Zuili suddenly wondered how this country survived till now?Turning to look at Mei Zhuoxue, it suddenly dawned on her, marriage...

After the singing and dancing retreated, Qiu Shangyun lifted his wine glass and raised his hand in their direction: "Tian and the prince came from a long way, our country is very honored, this glass of wine is toast to you, and to the sky and the emperor."

Mei Zhuoxue raised her wine glass slightly: "I also respect your country."

After speaking, he drank the wine.

These two people were still in tit-for-tat last night, and when they saw each other again today, they were as if nothing had happened. Hua Zuili admired such acting skills.

Qiu Shangyun smiled: "If I remember correctly, Your Highness's mother and concubine were also our Heavenly Sage Princess, and coming here this time can be regarded as returning to the homeland. Does Your Highness look at it with joy?"

Mei Zhuoxue said indifferently: "Although the concubine mother was born in heaven, she has been married to the emperor for many years. Gu is also the prince of heaven and heaven. I really dare not take the word 'homeland'. I don't think I can call 'heavenly saint'" Homeland, what a joyful thing."

Hua Zuili smelled the smell of gunpowder, and the ministers of the two countries also looked sideways, but the little emperor on the high seat still had his eyes closed, holding the Buddhist beads, and he didn't know if he was meditating or dozing off...

The smile on Qiu Shangyun's face faded a bit: "Why, is Your Highness trying to deny half of the Heavenly Saint's blood flowing in his body?"

Mei Zhuoxue replied: "The body, hair and skin are affected by the parents, not to mention the blood, but these do not delay Gu to tell the truth, after all, not all relatives are easy to climb."

The smell of gunpowder is stronger.

Qiu Shangyun stared at Mei Zhuoxue for a long time, then suddenly let out a snort of laughter: "I can only say that, indeed, I am worthy of Tianheren, such an eloquent ability to argue right from wrong, I have seen it once again."

Hearing him bite the word 'again' heavily, Hua Zuili raised her eyebrows and secretly said, 'This fellow is about to start digging a hole', as expected, Qiu Shangyun waved lightly, and two men in white robes suppressing a businessman walked in, sternly Make him kneel on the floor.

Hua Zuili saw at a glance that the merchant's attire was in Tianhe style, her eyebrows twitched, as if she knew what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, Qiu Shangyun said slowly: "This person came to Tiansheng to do business some time ago, but he didn't want to deceive the people with fake ones. The melons and fruits he bought even caused some nobles to be poisoned by food and almost lost their lives. After investigation, I found out that he is Tianheren."

"I was thinking about the friendship between the two countries. As long as he confesses his sins, he will be let go of his life. It is unthinkable. He refused to deny it and said that we framed him. It's ridiculous, but... now that His Highness is here, I will leave the net." On the one hand, let him go back."

The two men in white robes pressed down on the merchant man and walked slowly, but Mei Zhuoxue raised her hand to stop the two of them from moving.

"Since this matter is almost life-threatening, how can we easily get over it, it's better to ask clearly."

Qiu Shangyun raised his eyebrows: "What Your Highness said is true."

Mei Zhuoxue said slowly, "Naturally."

"That's good." Qiu Shangyun said to the merchants, "Now that His Highness the Crown Prince of Tianhe is here, if there is any grievance or difficulty, just say it."

The merchant took a few steps on his knees and kowtowed his head: "His Royal Highness, grass, grass people did not do it on purpose, those things are often sold by grass people, and they have never eaten to death. Who would have thought that a heavenly sage would cause such a big trouble, Caomin really didn't mean it, Caomin doesn't want to die, please save me!"

Very well, the original ambiguous crime was confirmed by him all at once.

Hua Zuili looked at him with raised eyebrows, picked up the teacup in a calm and unhurried manner, what this person said was true, if his hands didn't shake, the effect would be better.

Mei Zhuoxue looked at him: "What you said is true?"

The merchant paused for a moment, then lowered his head even lower: "All...all are true."

Mei Zhuoxue chuckled twice: "It seems that you really have been a sage for a long time, and I don't know what kind of character you are."

Hua Zuili responded in a particularly timely manner: "What does my husband mean by this? What do you mean you don't know your own character after staying in Tiansheng for a long time?"

This "Husband" was called smoothly and gently, Mei Zhuoxue couldn't help raising her eyebrows, the gloomy mood in her heart since she went to the palace instantly dissipated a lot, and he stretched out his fingertips to comb the loose hair around her ears:
"Think about it, a simple and honest person who lived and worked in peace and contentment in Tianhe, would actually become ignorant of his relatives when he came to Tiansheng. .”

Hua Zuili suddenly realized: "It turns out that Tiansheng's customs and customs are not good, so the people he brought along have become so bad."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. In fact, it wasn't a question of who was right and who was wrong at all in the beginning, but to use the merchant's status as a heaven and a man to make fun of and belittle the prince, which is unthinkable... …

Instead, he was used and ridiculed.
