Chapter 411 Summoning birds has a taste
at the same time.
Lunch in the palace has come to an end.
During the meal, the emperor was very approachable.
Ye Changyi was not very reserved. She had met the emperor several times because of Taifu Ye.
Lu Shaoyuan was a little restrained, but he was brave enough to answer.
Xu Jingxi had been listening quietly. He would only answer when the emperor asked him questions. The emperor often marveled at his talent and said that he was more mature and outstanding than his peers.
In time, if he grows up, he will definitely be a pillar of talent.
The emperor was deeply impressed by Xu Jingxi.
He even smiled at the eunuch on the side and said, "Have I missed the child Ning Ning? Why do I look at Mr. Xu and think he is from the Xie family?"
The eunuch followed the emperor's words: "Ouch! Your Majesty, this servant just felt this way. It seems that smart and blessed people all have similarities."
Xu Jingxi remained silent and looked neither humble nor arrogant, which made the emperor secretly nod.
Over there, Xie Yuanjiu had been drinking tea quietly. When she realized that the time had come, she stood up on her own initiative.
"Your Majesty, before leaving the palace, I would like to present you with a skill."
The emperor looked at her and smiled: "I remembered that Concubine Qi indeed recommended you, saying that you can attract hundreds of birds to fly away. "
Ye Changyi raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuanjiu with some disdain.
Xie Yuanjiu must not be holding anything back!
Since ancient times, it is said that the phoenix is the one that can attract hundreds of birds.
Xie Yuanjiu and Qi Fei collaborated on this play, what do they want to do?
Xie Yuanjiu has a dignified manner, and every move he makes has been trained for a long time in advance.
She smiled at Yanyan and said: "Your Majesty, you are praising me too much. It's just some trivial tricks. Today I present them to the Emperor to see. I want to bring some fun to the dreary winter day, and also to pray to God for a good harvest next year."
The Emperor stroked his palms. : "Okay! Just do it and see. If you do well, I will also reward you with the title of county master."
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes burst out with a light: "Yes."
She invited the emperor and Lu Shaoyuan to walk to the palace with her. outside.
The sky is clear and blue.
Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan looked on coldly.
Only then did they realize that the clothes Xie Yuanjiu was wearing today were also very unusual.
It looked like an ordinary purple skirt, but the cuffs were embroidered with birds and flowers with silver thread. As she moved, it reflected dazzling light in the sunlight.
I saw Xie Yuanjiu waving his hands in a graceful and graceful manner. It looked like he had practiced at home.
As she seemed to be dancing but not dancing, there seemed to be some kind of bell-like sound on her body, making a slight noise that was difficult to detect. Birds kept flying in the distance and perched on nearby branches.
The eunuch pointed to the branch in surprise: "Oh! Your Majesty, look at it, there are so many magpies and clever birds."
The emperor saw it with his own eyes and was constantly amazed.
He ordered: "Ask all the palace ladies and concubines to come and see this special spectacle."
Hundreds of birds flew around the sky, which was quite spectacular.
When everyone came to see it, they raised their heads and praised him in surprise.
There was a smile on Xie Yuanjiu's lips that was becoming increasingly difficult to hide.
Among the people present, only Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan looked impatient, while Xu Jingxi had an expressionless face.
Just as everyone was sighing, the sound of dry mines suddenly came from the sky.
"Crack--"
The ground shook.
The noisy crowd was startled at first, and then fell into a dead silence.
Not long ago, there was just such a thunder, and then Concubine Qi was chopped!
As a result, everyone reacted, and screams and calls for escape began one after another.
She was afraid that she would become the second concubine Qi.
However, before they could get to a safe place, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds and heavy rain fell. The birds were frightened, dropped white droppings one after another, and flew away in panic.
"Ouch!" the eunuch shouted: "Quickly, escort the emperor."
"Ah——!" A certain concubine screamed, and then she yelled angrily: "You fell into my mouth!"
"God damn it ! Yes! Is this rain or bird droppings?" someone cursed.
Xie Yuanjiu was surrounded by people fleeing in panic.
Xu Jingxi immediately pulled Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan and hid under the palace.
Lu Shaoyuan's eyes widened and he saw the white bird droppings, crackling with raindrops, hitting everyone who had no time to escape.
"Xie Yuanjiu is really capable. With a wave of his hand, a flock of birds came to poop." Lu Shaoyuan finished speaking in a daze. He realized that his words were vulgar and he quickly shut up.
Xie Yuanjiu just wanted to run away and looked for a place to hide, but he was violently pushed by someone.
She fell hard to the ground.
"Ah!" Xie Yuanjiu screamed, and before she could shut up, something fell into her mouth.
Her face turned green.
When the farce ended, the imperial soldiers, palaces and concubines hiding under the eaves of the palace were all in a miserable state.
Xie Yuanjiu was even covered in bird droppings and lay on the ground retching, unable to vomit.
When she raised her head, she saw the emperor's dark face.
"A hundred birds bring auspiciousness? Will there be a good harvest next year?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. I don't know what this thunder is about!"
"I really think highly of you." After saying this, the emperor shook his sleeves angrily. "Come here, drive Xie Yuanjiu out of the palace, and then send someone to ask Concubine Qi what this recommendation is called!"
The emperor left angrily.
Xie Yuanjiu was so frightened that she cried. She didn't know how this happened. What went wrong?
Obviously the bell given to her by Concubine Qi can attract birds if she ties it around her waist and dances.
But how could she have imagined that a thunderstorm in a drought would frighten these birds to the point of diarrhea!
Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan pinched their noses and walked past her.
"It's really scary. I waved my hand to attract hundreds of birds to go to the toilet. Fortunately, I hid quickly." Ye Changyi sarcastically said and left.
Lu Shaoyuan didn't want to say a word to her, for fear of spitting it out.
The concubines also held grudges against Xie Yuanjiu.
The emperor summoned them to come and enjoy the wonders. Who would have thought that Xie Yuanjiu would actually make them embarrassed. Some of them had bird droppings on their expensive silks, and some had it on their faces and hands.
How can they compete for favor when they make a fool of themselves? When the emperor sees them in the future, will the first thing he thinks of is the smell of bird droppings?
Thanks to Jiu Ke for hurting them!
Everyone walked away from her, unable to stop themselves from spitting.
Xie Yuanjiu was driven out of the palace by the Imperial Guards while crying. Her whole body smelled sour that the groom could not help but hold his breath and frown.
She felt so devastated that she decided not to take the carriage and walked along the road in the rain.
It wasn't until she reached a secluded alley and hid in it that she dared to sit down, bury her head and cry.
Why does the rain always ruin her good deeds?
Before, I was helping Concubine Qi post the scriptures, but there was also a rain; now I almost got the title of County Lord, but it was also ruined by the rain!
It must be Shen Ningning...
She is the only one who has the ability to control the wind and rain.
Shen Ningning must have known that she had entered the palace, so she deliberately destroyed her!
Xie Yuanjiu's nails dug into her palms, and she wanted to tear Shen Ningning apart right away.
At this moment, there was a conversation not far away.
"I'd better return the jade to you. It's useless to leave it here with me."
Xie Yuanjiu felt that the voice sounded familiar, so she hid in the corner and stuck out half of her head to take a look.
It turned out to be Xie Mingan and Xu Jingxi!
Xie Yuanjiu looked closely and saw a half-crescent jade pendant on the palm that Xie Mingan handed out!
Xu Jingxi said lightly: "I wanted to pawn this jade, but no shop dared to take it. They all said it belonged to Xie's house, so if you give it back to me, I won't have any use. Second Young Master Xie can just deal with it as he
pleases ." Shut up and widen your eyes.
How come Xu Jingxi has the crescent jade pendant that symbolizes the inheritance of the heirs of their Xie family! (End of chapter)
