Chapter 116 Dispute at Night Banquet After drawing everyone's attention here, Zhao Yuxue hesitated and refused to speak.
She raised her sleeves to cover her lips, and said with a evasive expression: "Did I talk too much? Actually, it's nothing, just..."
"What is it?" Jiang He looked at Zhao Yuxue's shy face with an inquiring expression, "I was only 13 years old when I met Mr. Wei. Speaking of which, I was still a half-grown child and had forgotten many things. Fortunately, Jin If Princess Yang remembers it, you can tell me about it."
Only 13 years old...
Not far away, ministers of this age couldn't help but smile.
He is really a child who has not yet reached the age of hair, so what if he has anecdotes?Think about when you were 13 years old, all you did was sneak out to play in the water, climb trees, and eat bird eggs. Children.
Since Your Majesty trusts Princess Anguo, she cannot be a spy sent by Qi or Wei.
The courtiers continued to be noisy, but the Queen Mother was too lazy to watch the young people's tit-for-tat, and found an excuse to get up and leave the Zhao Zheng looked at Zhao Yuxue with burning eyes, as if he would not give up until he was ugly.
What the anecdote was, he really wanted to know.
Zhao Yuxue had a smile of success in her heart, but there was still some fear on her face. She leaned forward slightly and said to Jiang He: "I heard that Mr. Wei took Princess An Guo to leave Luoyang during the heavy snow that year. It was cold at first but there was no brocade quilt. At night They all sleep together and keep each other warm, I don’t know if it’s true?”
Jiang He suddenly overturned several cases and stood up.
The wine cup overturned and the soup spilled on the floor. In the mess, Jiang He raised his finger and pointed at Princess Jinyang.
"Zhao Yuxue!" She scolded sternly, "Wei Ji is your uncle, how can you fabricate right and wrong in front of outsiders to ruin his reputation?"
"I..." Zhao Yuxue raised her hand to cover her lips and cried, "Your Majesty wants to know..."
"From now on," Jiang He took a step forward, his plain clothes quickly brushed against the steps, and there was a faint sound of swords and axes, "If I hear another word from you that insults him, don't blame me for being rude!"
The movement here made the dancers panic and stop, and they all knelt down to avoid the minister who was enjoying the rare singing and dancing also looked over with confusion.
In the main hall, Jiang He's shoulders were shaking with anger, and his hands clenching his clothes seemed about to slap Zhao Yuxue in the face at any moment.
What's wrong, can Princess An Guo, who is so popular even if her mountain collapses without changing her appearance, become like this?
"Really?" In the silence, the voice of Zhao Zheng, the king of Yong Kingdom, suddenly sounded.
He raised his head, his cold expression showing displeasure, and said slowly: "No one is allowed to say bad things about Wei Ji, so if you say it alone, isn't it okay?"
Jiang He's body froze in place.
She looked at Zhao Zheng in surprise, pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.
There was arrogance in Zhao Zheng's eyes. He dropped the wine cup in his hand to the ground with a "pop" sound, and the splash of wine stained Jiang He's dress.
Jiang He felt that little bit of wetness spread and soaked into her short boots.
Everyone in the hall was silent, and even Zhao Yuxue's crying was almost inaudible.
After a long time, Jiang He took a deep breath and said, "Of course your Majesty can say it. Not only can you say it, but your Majesty can also send troops to attack Wei, rob Luoyang, and kill the Wei royal family. Your Majesty, is there anything you can't do?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away. Zong Jun and Cai Ling, who were waiting quietly behind the pillars of the hall, were frightened and hurriedly followed her.
When I came out, I promised to have a big meal, but why did I have to leave after eating just a little? However, Cai Ling didn't dare to ask, and Zongjun knew not to ask.
The three masters and servants quickly disappeared in front of the main hall, their figures never looking back like lone birds flying into the sky.
In such an atmosphere, what singing and dancing, eating, and rewards are there?
The ministers apologized and left the table one after another. After a while, Zhao Zheng and Zhao Yuxue were the only two people in the hall.
Zhao Zheng, who had just lost his temper, seemed to be drunk. He drank heavily and his eyes were blurry.
Zhao Yuxue came over, raised his eyelids slightly, and gently moved the wine bottle away.
"Your Majesty, you can't drink any more." She scolded softly.
"Princess Jinyang," Zhao Zheng suddenly looked at her and said, "Princess Anguo is right. Why do you want to ruin your uncle's reputation in public? Everyone says that he is a young master with peerless elegance. Even Jiang He, they all have a soft spot for him and can't let go."
"Because I hate him." Zhao Yuxue said without hesitation, "Since I was little, not only have I hated him, but my brothers also hate him. He boasted that he had stolen a talisman to save Zhao, and he never looked down upon us brothers and sisters. In my eyes, my mother also thought that she had him as her backer, and she treated my father with every possible slight and taunted us brothers and sisters. There is no one in the entire Zhao Kingdom who does not hate him."
Zhao Zheng picked up the wine glass and greeted Zhao Yuxue gently.
"Princess Jinyang and Gu have a tacit understanding. Gu Ye... hates him."
Not long after, Zhao Zheng fell drunk on several cases.
Li Wenzhou, the chief chamberlain, called for someone to help him into the sedan Zheng seemed a little afraid of the cold. Princess Jinyang saw him subconsciously pulling the fox fur around his body, and his behavior was not as heroic as usual.
"The road is slippery, please be alert." Li Wenzhou ordered the servants and carefully carried Zhao Zheng.
Princess Zhao Yuxue of Jinyang stood in the palace, and she could still hear Zhao Zheng shouting all the way: "Wei Ji...ah, Wei Ji..."
Zhao Yuxue did not smile, but a ball of jealousy arose in her heart.
How could that woman be so capable that the king of Yong State went out of his way and got drunk on her?
In any case, I found the right breakthrough point.
All that's left is a fire.
After that, the Yong Kingdom will continue to fall apart due to internal strife.
Defeated, Yong invaded Luoyang with millions of cavalry.
In any case, Zhao Guo can sit back and relax.
"Your Highness, it's New Year's Eve, let's really go."
"Let's go." Jiang He took out the sleeve crossbow and wiped it clean.
Remembering that I hadn't eaten enough, I suddenly became even more angry.
Although she had known that Zhao Yuxue would be looking for opportunities to cause trouble, her eating speed still couldn't keep up with the other party's speed of making trouble.
It’s also Zhao Zheng’s fault, are you crazy?
At least wait for her to sit back and eat for a while before throwing anything away.
It's cold tonight, I won't freeze you to death!
Jiang He climbed into the carriage with a groan, wrapped a blanket around himself, got a pillow to lean on, and prepared to sleep on the carriage.
"Don't let His Majesty's guards follow you." She suddenly thought of this, opened the curtain and said, "Don't let any of them follow you!"
If you don't want to follow, don't follow. They have also raised many guards themselves in the past , where to go?
"Didn't South Korea cede some land to the Yong Kingdom? Let's go on an inspection tour!"
Jiang He closed his eyes as he spoke, threw off his short boots, and found the heater next to the quilt with his cold feet, and pressed them against them.
Zong Jun nodded, checked the carriage again and again, then sat in front and drove the carriage himself.
The little girl Cai Ling squeezed beside him and took out a handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts from her sleeve.
This was something she brought back from the palace banquet. It was sweet and delicious.
"Manager Zong," it sounded like Jiang He was asleep. Cai Ling tightened her cotton-padded clothes and couldn't help but ask, "Did they really quarrel?"
"It's true." Zongjun laughed, "His Highness was so angry that he ran away from home."
Cai Ling handed the peeled chestnuts to Zongjun, her little face full of worry.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the news that His Majesty's retainer, Princess Jiang He of Qi State Anguo, had left the capital spread among the people who visited each other.
Of course, the first person to know was Zhao Zheng, the king of Yong State.
Princess Jinyang heard in the embassy that Zhao Zheng was so angry that he asked Su Yu to lead people to chase him back, saying that he wanted to see the person alive and the body after death.
But for some reason, Jiang He avoided Su Yu and successfully left Yong State and headed towards South Korea.
"Let her go!" Zhao Zheng kicked over a fire of charcoal in Zhiyang Palace. "If she dares to enter Xinzheng, I will send troops to destroy Han!"
It is rumored that Han An, the king of South Korea, fell from the bed after hearing these words.
"Destroy Han? Zhao Zheng quarreled with that princess, what does it have to do with me?"
And Princess Zhao Yuxue of Jinyang, who had seen all these jokes, kept coming in and out of the palace during the days when Jiang He left.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Wei Ji received a letter from Jiang He.
