Qi Bingyu glanced at Qi Jingqin meaningfully. Xia Rongxin looked at Qi Bingyu from his side and looked at Qi Jingqin. A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she also had a different thought in her heart.

Xia Rongxin knew that Qi Bingyu's expression clearly indicated that he agreed with Qi Jingqin's approach. I heard that when Qi Bingyu was still the prince, he had serious quarrels with several princes. The former emperor gave birth to many princes, and many princes died because of the struggle for power.

Among them was Qi Bingyu’s younger brother.

Qi Bingyu didn't want to fight with them, and he hated this kind of fight in his heart. At that time, he was obviously the prince, but when it came to some things, the other brothers thought that he had the hope of becoming the prince.

The temptation of the throne is great, and Qi Bingyu knows this very well. When he ascended the throne, many people died for it. Qi Bingyu had some indecisiveness in his temper. He could not bear to design his brother in this way, but he was also framed. After he ascended the throne,

He had to send several of his brothers to other state capitals, but he still didn't want the brothers to fight against each other.

Now that he sees his only two sons fighting hard, he initially favored the prince Qi Jingyang, but Qi Jingyang's lack of ability is a foregone conclusion. Even if he is reluctantly allowed to ascend the throne, sooner or later the century-old foundation of the dynasty will be destroyed in his hands.

But Qi Jingqin is different. He has both civil and military skills and outstanding abilities. Now he has achieved such great achievements, and he doesn't seem to be arrogant about taking credit. Now he treats Qi Jingyang so kindly. No matter how bad Qi Jingyang's attitude is, Qi Jingqin still has a humble attitude.

.0

Qi Bingyu is getting older, and he knows that he is about to die, but now he can see the two brothers Qi Jingyang and Qi Jingqin living in harmony, and he feels very happy.

Qi Bingyu now slowly transferred Qi Jingyang's power to Qi Jingqin. The ministers did not object, but most of the already old ministers said that Qi Jingqin was treasonous. But what they didn't know was that Qi Bingyu now intended to dethrone Qi Jingyang's position as crown prince and establish Qi Jingqin as the crown prince.

Prince, there is only one chance left.

Qi Bingyu was still hesitating whether he should do this before. After all, after he ascended the throne, some of the brothers who had fought with him were exiled and executed one after another. None of them were in Shangjing, but he wanted Qi Jingyang to stay in Shangjing well.

, living a carefree life.

Qi Jingyang is the only son of Qi Bingyu and Lu Fushuang, and Lu Fushuang is Qi Bingyu's first wife. After a hundred years, only Qi Jingyang has their blood flowing in his body. Qi Bingyu did not want Qi Jingyang to end up like his brother, so he never knew what to do.

How to make this decision.

But he grew up following Qi Jingyang, but he forgot that Qi Jingqin was actually a soft-hearted person. Qi Jingqin was respectful and polite to Qi Jingyang, and never did anything particularly excessive. Qi Bingyu only remembered this now, and he was full of confidence in Qi Jingqin.

Although Qi Jingqin looked at Qi Jingyang's toast with a kind and humble face, he kept paying attention to his father's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Qi Jingqin knew that his father had handed over the power that should have belonged to His Highness the Crown Prince to him, and he obviously wanted to depose the Crown Prince. However, the reason why he has not abolished the Crown Prince must be because of the Mingxian Queen Lu Fushuang, and he had no choice in this matter.

Intervention, only doing it in front of his father can make him feel at ease.

Qi Jingqin is now completely able to penetrate Qi Bingyu's thoughts. Qi Bingyu has no defense against him. Furthermore, Qi Jingqin is very thoughtful. When Xia Rongxin and Lu Furshuang were fighting, he could see through all their plans at a glance, and unintentionally

Help Xia Rongxin.

Everyone thought that Qi Jingqin was taciturn and easy to bully. Qi Jingyang thought the same way when he was a child, thinking that Qi Jingqin's repeated tolerance was actually because he was afraid of himself, but he never imagined that Qi Jingqin's thoughts were far above his own.

When he reached a certain age and was able to study in the court, Qi Jingqin tried his best to do what he wanted to do. At that time, no one in the court helped him. Everyone thought that Qi Jingyang would become the emperor naturally, not to mention that at that time

, Lu Gaohong’s power is at its peak, who dares to oppose them?

Unexpectedly, only ten years later, the court situation would undergo such major changes, and Qi Jingqin gradually gained attention, thanks to his own hard work and Xia Rongxin's support.

"At this banquet today, I didn't expect to see the generals who fought side by side in the past. Thanks to your charge, we achieved today's victory, and thanks to the silent protection of all ladies, we were able to survive the extreme cold at the frontier fortress.

Let the generals hold on. I wish you all this drink, Jing Qin." Qi Jingqin held the wine glass in both hands and faced the generals present with a humble look.

We are all brothers who have been together through life and death, and we are all good-natured people. After hearing this, they all raised their wine glasses and said: "Why is the prince so polite? Come on! Let's drink together!"

Several generals' wives also stood up, raised their wine glasses to Xia Rongxin and Liang Huanqing who were sitting on them, and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Jing, we respect you."

Xia Rongxin and Liang Huanqing also nodded, picked up their wine glasses and drank.

The atmosphere of the spring banquet was suddenly excited by these few glasses of wine. There was singing and dancing, and there was a lot of drinking and drinking. Many couples invited from outside Shangjing showed the gifts they had brought to the emperor and Concubine Mei, which attracted the attention of the emperor and Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei was overjoyed.

But at this spring banquet, Prince Qi Jingyang and Princess Zhao Peiyu were obviously left out. Now all the invited couples toasted to Qi Jingqin and the others, and told the emperor many interesting things about the battlefield, which made the emperor drunkenly.

I was still open-minded, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, I remembered the scene when I was young and went into battle to kill the enemy.

Qin Yuandao and Mrs. Qin also sat aside and watched all this with smiles. Mrs. Qin mainly looked at Liang Huanqing, feeling that she liked her very much and wanted to say a few words of appreciation, but they were far away, so she just looked at each other and smiled.

.

Qi Jingyang sat aside and drank a glass of wine. Now he was like an outsider, not valued by his father and not surrounded by the courtiers. This was even the case for attending a spring banquet. If he waited until the state banquet, he, the prince, would need to take care of it.

When the time comes, will Qi Jingqin also be allowed to go up?

Qi Jingyang feels that he is extremely useless, but now he does not dare to complain, for fear that if he says something, he will lose his position as the prince in the end...

Zhao Peiyu sat next to Qi Jingyang and carefully observed the entire spring banquet, trying to find an opportunity to poison Qi Jingqin. She also saw the current situation clearly. If she didn't do anything else, Qi Jingyang would probably be deposed.

, how could a discarded prince have a chance to be reborn? She would never let this happen.

Xia Rongxin has also been silently observing the entire spring banquet, but unlike Zhao Peiyu, she wants to find opportunities to make Qi Jingyang make mistakes. After all, she does not often come into contact with Qi Jingyang. The East Palace regards her as a scourge, and she usually serves the emperor

Whenever he was ordered to visit Qi Jingyang, he would be driven back.

This occasion was rare, and Xia Rongxin also knew that this matter was imminent. The emperor's health was getting worse day by day, and she had not seen Qi Bingyu for more than half a month. When she saw him today, she found that he was already much older. It was extremely treasonous.

If so, Xia Rongxin would make Qi Jingqin the crown prince before the emperor died, but the prerequisite was that Qi Jingyang should step down first.

Qin Yuandao also drank wine slowly while observing the emperor's expression. As Liang Fengmian's close friend, he would naturally help Qi Jingqin, but at present, he was unable to protect himself, and the emperor was still relatively strict with him.

In order to prevent the Prime Minister from monopolizing power, the Emperor made many policies towards him overtly and covertly. Qin Yuandao did not dare to help Qi Jingqin openly at this time, but he still secretly observed the Emperor's attitude so that he could feel confident.

And Qi Jingqin can naturally feel Qi Jingyang's dagger-like eyes directed at him, wishing he could kill him. Although Qi Jingqin doesn't show it on his face, and he won't bring himself to feel unhappy when he looks at Qi Jingyang, he knows it in his heart.

Very, but the more Qi Jingyang acted like this, the happier Qi Jingqin felt, because he knew that Qi Jingyang's behavior was a sign of powerlessness.

Qi Jingyang could only watch as the throne was taken away by him...

Today's spring banquet, there are many couples from business and farming, so it can't just discuss political affairs. This is just a banquet for admiring flowers, drinking, and dancing. Qi Bingyu also relaxed, chatting with Qi Jingqin about daily life, and asked about Liang Huanqing's presence in the palace.

Some things happened, and Qi Jingyang's feelings were not taken into consideration throughout the whole process.

At this spring banquet, everyone had their own secrets and different thoughts. Qi Bingyu was also silently paying attention to Qi Jingyang and Qi Jingqin, trying to choose the most suitable candidate for the crown prince position. He thought that after this banquet, he would

I have begun to prepare for the imperial decree. My body is getting worse day by day, but I cannot delay the government for a day...

When the banquet reached its climax, several generals were already tipsy. They stood up, walked down, walked through the dancing girls in the hall, walked to the emperor, raised their glasses to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I respectfully pay tribute.

A glass of yours! I wish you and Concubine Mei a long life together!"

Qi Bingyu looked at Xia Rongxin, smiled at her, and then returned the favor to the generals, saying: "I appreciate your kindness at today's spring banquet, and I wish you a long life together."

There were several casual generals, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more intense. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The generals had been sitting for a long time, and they all stood up to propose a toast to the emperor and Prince Jing. Seeing that everyone was happy, Qi Bingyu

He didn't interfere much, he just sat there and watched with a smile. From time to time he turned his head to look at Xia Rongxin and smiled.

Xia Rongxin only drank a little wine and looked slightly tipsy. She looked at Qi Bingyu with affectionate eyes. Qi Bingyu felt very much and became even happier.

Liang Huanqing sat behind Qi Jingqin. After drinking a little wine, his face changed drastically and he wanted to vomit. He couldn't help but feel pain in his chest. His face was as pale as paper. He couldn't bear the pain and could not help but beads of sweat on his forehead. He felt a little dizzy.

Feeling sleepy.

Behind her, Yue Bai noticed something strange about Liang Huanqing, so she quietly grabbed Liang Huanqing's hand and whispered: "Princess, do you want to go out and vomit? Otherwise... call the imperial doctor? This is also very convenient in the palace..."

Liang Huanqing lowered her head in discomfort and bit her lips to hold back. She shook her head and said, "No, just hold on for a while and it will be fine."

Liang Huanqing's face was pale, but there was still a trace of a smile on her face. How could she leave? In front of her were some generals and ministers who came to toast. How could she leave rudely? She had to endure this banquet even if she had to endure it.

Qi Jingqin drank glasses of wine with the generals and ministers. Qi Bingyu watched all this with a smile, and drank two glasses of wine together from time to time. However, Xia Rongxin was worried about his health and would always give a few words of warning. No one noticed Liang Huanqing's

Not adaptable.

"But...but Princess, you look so ugly..." Yuebai watched Liang Huanqing vomit all the way over the past few days. She knew how uncomfortable Liang Huanqing was. Sometimes she would feel like vomiting even after sleeping well at night. These days

What's more, I vomit whatever I eat.

Just now, Liang Huanqing had been very careful not to eat too much, but she still had to drink a few glasses of wine. In addition, Xia Rongxin noticed that she didn't eat much food and asked about it. Liang Huanqing couldn't refuse, so she gave her a token

After eating a few mouthfuls, as soon as he finished eating, he had a reaction and wanted to vomit, but it just so happened that Liang Huanqing couldn't walk away, and Ren's fingernails were embedded in his flesh.

"No need...bring me two oranges..." Liang Huanqing shook her head uncomfortably, trying to use the smell of oranges to suppress the overwhelming nausea in her chest.

Yuebai looked at Liang Huanqing distressedly, and seeing how stubborn she was, he had no choice but to take two oranges and peel them for her.

After Liang Huanqing ate the orange, the heartburn-like nausea in her chest finally subsided a little. She held the orange peel in her hand and took a whiff from time to time. She felt much better. She thought she could end the banquet if she endured it for a while. This was her

She must not make any mistakes during the first spring banquet after marrying Qi Jingqin!

"Can't Princess Jing drink?" At this time, a general said when he saw Liang Huanqing sitting in the back and smiling slightly.

Liang Huanqing stood up straight, glanced at Qi Jingqin, and then said with a smile: "I'm too drunk, I'm afraid it will disturb the generals' enjoyment."

Seeing what Liang Huanqing said, they just laughed and gave up. They continued to laugh and drink with Qi Jingqin, talking about the past in the frontier. From time to time, they mentioned a few words about Liang Fengmian, and Liang Huanqing only said a few words.

Xia Rongxin looked at all this with a smile, thinking that Qi Jingqin was very popular, so it was indeed a wise choice to let Qi Jingqin go with him on the expedition. She had to admire Liang Fengmian's foresight.

Qi Jingyang saw that most of the people had gone to toast the emperor Qi Jingqin, and did not notice him as the prince at all, so he just focused on drinking. Kong Yan behind him did not dare to put up his silk to dissuade him, so he could only watch silently.

But Zhao Peiyu saw a glimmer of opportunity. She was secretly glad in her heart and turned to look at Han Yao. Han Yao nodded and walked out along the window of the hall, bypassing everyone.

Zhao Peiyu and Han Yao thought that everyone was looking at Qi Jingqin and the emperor, and no one would notice them. However, Xia Rongxin, who was sitting in the upper seat, noticed. She caught a glimpse of Han Yao behind Zhao Peiyu going out, and turned back to Yun Xi.

The aunt winked, and Yun Xi nodded her head clearly and followed her out.

Xia Rongxin was sitting in the upper seat of the main hall, and others would naturally notice what she did. After Zhao Peiyu saw Xia Rongxin wink at Yun Xi, and Yun Xi also walked out of the main hall, she couldn't help but panic in her heart, and looked at Xia Rongxin subconsciously, for fear of

Han Yao didn't find Yun Xi and would proceed as per their original plan.

Xia Rongxin was originally unwilling to look at Zhao Peiyu, but she felt an inexplicable look on her body, so she turned around and looked directly into Zhao Peiyu's eyes.

There was a trace of fear and panic in Zhao Peiyu's eyes, which she did not hide at all. Xia Rongxin smiled. Zhao Peiyu's expression and eyes completely betrayed herself, but it hit Xia Rongxin's arms. She knew what Zhao Peiyu wanted to do, let her
