Chapter 160
Chapter 160
The flirtatious Feng Qiuhuang was played by a girl, full of seductive love. From time to time, the gaze that looked at the crown prince also made everyone reveal an ambiguous smile, everyone knew what this girl meant. Perhaps, among all the girls that were performing just now, not many of them weren’t interested in the crown prince, but only this girl was bold enough.
Huan Mo Che looked at this girl who shamelessly tried to seduce Shang Wuxin, and it was unknown how many bubbles of jealousy appeared in his heart. However, when Huan Mo Che looked at Shang Wuxin who seemed to still be listening, he revealed a smile and became even more vigilant.
Since they were not on the same side, Huan Mo Che was also reminding Shang Wuxin not to be bewitched by the beauties. Of course, he was also trying to sow discord with them; after all, only one love rival could be severed.
After the song, the lady gave a grand bow. Her face was red as she looked at the crown prince from time to time. She was indeed a woman who would arouse tender affection from others.
Shang was not in the mood to watch the show, so he deliberately asked, “Who is this?” These words caused everyone to look at the girl enviously. She was originally a concubine, but now she was in the Crown Prince’s eyes. From now on, she would most likely fly up the tree branches and become a phoenix.
He didn’t want to take out his own daughter to seduce the Crown Prince, but if she wasn’t, then it would be different. His daughter was just a pawn in the saying of a concubine; a pawn in the saying of a concubine.
“My daughter is the fifth daughter of Marquis Qi!”
“Ah, Marquis Qi’s daughter!” Shang Bin had no intention to say anything else, but this action caused the kneeling woman to become anxious. Lord Qi frowned, wondering how his daughter could enter the crown prince’s residence and know about the affairs of the crown prince’s mansion.
Looking at her father’s eyes, the woman knew that if she didn’t attract the crown prince’s attention today, even if she returned home, she wouldn’t be able to live a good life. She quickly threw away her modesty and shyly asked, “Crown Prince, did my daughter play well? Does the crown prince like it? ”
Before Shang Xin could even speak, Huan Mo Che spoke, his voice still carrying a smile and his expression extremely gentle, “This young miss is playing Feng Qiuhuang, but her playing is so lifeless that it makes this young master’s mind go into a mess. She actually dares to play a tune like this for the crown prince to hear, could it be that young miss is deliberately tormenting the crown prince’s ears?”
No one thought that Huan Mo Che would suddenly go berserk. Well, temporarily, they could define Huan Mo Che’s methods as berserk, even though his temperament and other aspects didn’t seem to go crazy at all. Instead, it was like he was talking about poetry. Even Shang Wuxin didn’t think that Huanmo Che would actually say such words, but this obviously failed performance made him feel that it was interesting, after all, Huanmo Che had a gentle face all day long, and the occasional failure was a different story.
The woman was also made pale by Huan Mo Che’s words, but the crown prince, who was looking at her a moment ago, was now clearly not involved in the matter at all. Thinking about the rumors in the market, the woman’s gaze towards Minister Zuo became disdainful, “Although my daughter’s music can’t be called a fairy song, it’s not as unbearable as what Minister Zuo said. [If Minister Zuo doesn’t like my daughter, you can just say so. Don’t you think it is too much to make things difficult for a girl like that?]
The court officials started to watch the girl’s argument with interest, but Shang’s dissatisfaction was evident. In Shang Bin’s eyes, Huan Mo Che was from the crown prince’s faction now, living in the crown prince’s residence. To even dare to provoke such a woman, he did not place her in his eyes at all.
Huanmo Che didn’t have the interest to argue with a girl, and directly asked Huanjing to bring a zither over and sit beside the crown prince. His slender white hands fiddled with the zither strings. The same Feng Qiuhuang, however, had a completely different melody and artistic conception.
It was peaceful and auspicious, but it carried an indescribably lingering and easy expression. The sound was extremely round and rich, and it caused one to involuntarily sway their own thoughts to the sound of the zither, hearing the infatuation and infatuation within the music that caused one to be unable to let go of the pain.
Although he had heard Leng Yuefeng say that the Illusory Mo Che playing the zither was not bad, and was on par with Ye Yizhi’s flute, only now did Shang Wuxin know that the Illusory Mo Che playing the zither was not bad. That was a rare occurrence, even he himself was shocked by the sound of the zither.
Everyone was mesmerized by the melody. When Huanmo Che put down the zither string, they finally knew that Prime Minister Zuo was indeed worthy of being the capital’s number one son. Who could compare to him? The woman just now had her head lowered and had already returned to her seat.
Huanmo Che looked at Shang Wuxin who was sitting there, Feng Qiuhuang had purposely played this play for Shang Wuxin to hear, even though the two of them were both men, he could not help but want to do something to express his feelings and defend his feelings.
“Ha ha!” Qi Hou stood up and laughed, “The Left Premier’s zither skill can’t be compared to this marquis’ daughter, but my daughter Feng Qiuhuang is playing it for the crown prince. Could it be that the Left Premier’s song, Feng Qiuhuang, is also playing it for the crown prince? Could the rumors be true? ”
Although the rumors of the crown prince’s death were not a secret in the capital, it still felt unfair for the crown prince to speak of it like this. After all, in their opinion, even though the crown prince was the heir to the position of the crown prince, he was still a good successor to the country.
It had been many years since he had been so impulsive, but when he encountered Shang Wuxin, emotions that did not belong to him always burst out. He was afraid that Shang Wuxin would be angry, but when he looked over, he realized Shang Wuxin was actually smiling.
Huanmo Che suddenly showed his courage and stood up to flick the hem of his clothes, “Of course my Feng Qiuhuang is playing for the crown prince, could it be that I’m playing for you to listen to?” As for the rumors, I don’t know, but my feelings for the crown prince have never been hidden! ”
The crowd burst into an uproar. No one had expected the Minister of the Left to admit it directly. The Minister of the Left had said something so vile in such a manner, and there was nothing humble in his words but pride.
Shang Tong heard the words that sounded like a confession and looked at Huanmo Che. He knew that the rumors were going to be true, but he did not stop them.
“Ridiculous, ridiculous!” Some of the old officials stepped forward. “Minister Zuo, this is outrageous. The men and women of this world are in harmony. Do you want to destroy our country?” A small sleeve had risen to the level of a kingdom’s survival. The entire hall had become extremely tense.
“Your words are too serious. The matter with the Minister of the Left is the matter with the Minister of the Left, and it involves the Kingdom of Shang too much!” Although he was surprised that the Minister of the Left was a man with no sleeves, he understood the loyalty and defense of the Crown Prince when he thought about it. Initially, even the Minister was not able to accept it, but later, his son advised him to accept it slowly, knowing that he was indeed too old to keep up with the current young people.
The two sides argued nonstop. A good banquet was turned into a marketplace by everyone, and those government ladies also looked at the Minister of the Left and the Crown Prince with regret. Why did all the good men in this world lose their sleeves?
“Enough, stop making a ruckus! This is the first time the top scholar for civil and martial arts attends a palace banquet, yet you guys have let him see your way of doing things. Shang Wuxin’s voice was full of anger, causing the court officials to immediately beg for forgiveness and return to their seats.
“Crown Prince, this is a serious matter. Since the Minister of the Left has admitted to his thoughts, then the Crown Prince …” Even with his age, Qi Hou still found it embarrassing to say this out loud, “I wonder if the crown prince is Broken Sleeve?”
Shang Wuxin stood there and asked with a smile, “So what if I am Broken Sleeve? So what if it wasn’t Zhexiu? “What’s Qi Hou going to do to judge my direction?” Shang did not feel the need to deal with this Qi Hou as it seemed that he needed to deal with it as soon as possible.
The Qi Hou thought for a while and then immediately replied, “If the crown prince is really Duan Xiu, then he can’t assume the position of crown prince. As for confirming that the crown prince is Duan Xiu, it’s very easy, so I might as well let the crown prince use aphrodisiac, and send a woman into the room. If the crown prince wants that woman, then it would mean that the crown prince is not Duan Xiu, otherwise the crown prince would be Duan Xiu!”
“Qi Hou is indeed a good plan!” Shang was not in the mood to remain silent, as he spoke in a sinister tone.
“Prince Muzhe!” After making a suggestion, Qi Hou returned to his seat. After all, he had already started the whole thing and the crown prince was now even more adamant in his attacks. Qi Hou looked at the crown prince and thought that he had won this time.
If the crown prince did not touch that woman’s body, he would definitely be injured. However, if the crown prince were to touch that woman, it would be impossible for him to accept it even if he thought of Huan Mo Che. It was different from the sadness he felt when he knew that Shang Wuxin and Han Xuanhao were together.
So the impulsive Huan Mo Che did something that shocked everyone.
Huanmo Che stood up and stood beside Shang Wuxin, then directly took the crown prince’s shoulder and kissed Shang Wuxin’s pink lips. The moment her lips touched his, her mind bloomed like fireworks. She was at a loss on what to do, but was even more surprised and excited. Hugging Shang, Huanmo Che felt that everything around him had blurred. The strength of the kiss gradually increased, and every time his tongue touched Shang’s lips, it was like a leaping flame, bringing with it a burning heat.
Shang Wuxin originally wanted to push Huan Mo Che away, but when she saw the passionate look in his eyes as he kissed her, she couldn’t help but admit that she had bewitched him. That pair of peach blossom eyes was brimming with too much affection and pain. That extremely depressing feeling caused Shang Wuxin’s heart to unconsciously move closer to Huan Mo Che.
Huanmo Che’s kiss was too green, and Shang Wuxin could only passively accept it. From time to time, he would smack his lips with his teeth, and he also felt that Huanmo Che’s kiss was too ferocious and messy, causing even his tongue to become numb.
The more he kissed, the more Huan Mo Che became excited. He had the intention of kissing Eternity. However, Shang Wuxin’s eyes actually saw the people below staring at the two with wide eyes, directly patting the Huanmo Che to wake him up from his kiss.
“Ridiculous, ridiculous!” An old official in the main hall actually fainted from anger, while many people looked at the two of them with disdain.
“Crown Prince, you, as the head of the Eastern Palace, actually disobeyed the rules and did such a filthy thing with the Minister of the Left! This subject must request the Emperor to strip away his position as Crown Prince, so as to not make our country lose face! ” Qi Hou shouted in anger, gaining the support of many people.
“Disgraceful!” What did my Huang’er do to embarrass you all! “Do you think you can bully my son just because I’m not here?” A dignified voice could be heard from outside the hall as Emperor Shang dressed in a dragon robe entered the hall.
