Chapter 28 The Tiger in the Cage

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is here." Liang Zhu leaned close to Emperor Yan's ear and said softly.

"See you, the prince." The eunuchs and maids fell to their knees, and the prince, who was dressed in apricot-yellow court clothes, stepped forward to salute, "My son, please see my father."

"Exemption." Emperor Yan was in a good mood, and stretched out his hand to help the crown prince up, "I came to find you in a hurry, but what happened?"

"Thank you, father." The prince got up, his face was slightly impressive, but he couldn't suppress the joy, "Father, don't blame me, it's because my son lost his temper for a while."

Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows, he could see the prince's uncontrollable joy.On weekdays, his eldest son is the most cautious in his words and deeds, his serious face is exactly the same as the one in his memory.

Looking at his appearance now, Emperor Yan felt a little like a father, "Tell me, what is the happy event?"

"Father, the Crown Princess is pregnant."

"Okay," Emperor Yan laughed loudly, "A few days ago, Nanny Liu said that she had a strong body, and it happened that the Crown Princess was pregnant, so she went to serve the Crown Princess. She will come back to my side after the emperor's grandson is born."

The crown prince looked slightly happy. This Liu mama was the emperor's nanny before, and now she is sent to the crown prince's side, even if it is to serve temporarily, but it is more of a shock.

"Thank you, Father."

On the second night, Qianqiu arrived.

Ministers of the royal family entered the palace one after another, Xue Yi took his place early, his gaze casually swept over the many officials present, his meaning was unclear.

"The emperor is here, the queen mother is here, the queen is here."

Xue Yi turned his head to look over, and the bright yellow dragon pattern came into view. The Empress Dowager and the Empress were one step behind, and slowly walked in from outside the palace gate.Xue Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he stood up with everyone and knelt down to welcome the holy driver.

"You are welcome to stand up without courtesy." Emperor Yan stretched out his support to sit down with the queen mother, smiling, "This is my birthday, and I am very grateful to all of you who work hard."

Naturally, everyone dared not accept the emperor's gratitude, and expressed their honor to be able to participate in the Qianqiu Festival, and how happy they were, and some compliments opened the prelude to the Qianqiu Festival.

After I dealt with it on my own side, the envoys from various countries came to see him.

"The Turkic envoys have an audience."

Xue Yi squinted his eyes and sat lazily on his seat, half asleep and half awake when he heard someone talking in his ear.

"Master Hou, it's cold, you can drink some hot soup." The little eunuch moved to Xue Yi's side and smiled flatteringly, "Eunuch Liang specially asked the younger one to arrange it for you."

Xue Yi nodded, and smiled gratefully at the emperor, "Tell me to say hello to Eunuch Liang." As he spoke, he stuffed a purse into the little eunuch's hand.

The little eunuch quickly put the purse into his sleeve, and smiled happily, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely bring the words to you."

Xue Yi's movement on this side was obviously noticed by many people. The little eunuch looked familiar, and discerning people all recognized that he was the godson under Liang Zhu, and they couldn't help but have plans in their hearts.

"Emperor Yan, ministers and others have come from afar to congratulate Your Majesty on his long life and the health of the holy body. Dayan has a bumper harvest of grains and prosperity of the country." The tall Turkic man spoke in a rough voice.

Liang Zhu looked at Emperor Yan, and seeing Emperor Yan raised his hand slightly, he raised his voice, "Excuse me, get up."

"Thank you, Emperor Yan." The rough man straightened up, with thick hair, a beard, a broad forehead, and sharp eyes, "In order to prepare a congratulatory gift for you, my Chanyu specially allowed me to go to the Khan's hunting ground to look for it. "

"I hope that Emperor Yan will not dislike you."

"I'm very grateful to you guys who came from afar." Emperor Yan raised his hand, "I won't despise the congratulatory gift that you Shanyu worked hard to get for my birthday."

Heliantu's face changed slightly, but it was hidden under the bushy beard, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

At this time, eight people from outside the main hall walked in carefully carrying things, attracting everyone's attention.The eight people tremblingly lifted the thing to the center, and there was a dull sound when it was placed on the ground.

"This is our gift from Shanyu to you, Emperor Yan." Heliantu stretched out his hand and pulled off the white curtain neatly.

The white curtain was pulled down, and an eye-catching white tiger was lying lazily in an extremely thick iron cage, with its curved tail flicking back and forth, looking very leisurely.

There was a sound of "wow", and the surrounding ministers and royal family looked at the white tiger in amazement.

"This gift is indeed very beautiful. I tell you Shan Yu, I am very satisfied." Emperor Yan clapped his hands and praised, "Yan Kingdom has not seen a white tiger for a long time."

Heliantu took a piece of bloody raw meat from the attendant and threw it into the cage.

I saw the white tiger, who was still lazily unable to lift up its energy just now, suddenly jumped up, opened its bloody mouth wide, swallowed the flesh and blood into its belly, and the remaining blood slowly flowed down the corner of the white tiger's mouth.

Some women couldn't help screaming softly, and quickly covered their mouths again.Even some civil servants showed strange expressions, and some military officers showed anger.

Xue Yi turned his head to look at the female relatives, and was slightly relieved when he saw someone blocked the scene just in time for the old lady.

"How does Emperor Yan look at the white tiger now?" Heliantu bent down, fully expressing his respect, but his eyes revealed his ambition.

Emperor Yan stretched out his hand to caress the faucet of the chair, and suddenly laughed, "It's really fierce."

"Xue Qing, what do you think?"

Xue Yi got up and looked at Heliantu angrily, "I think Heliantu is plotting something wrong. Knowing that the emperor's Qianqiu Festival, all the princes and ministers brought a beast to disturb the atmosphere of the Qianqiu Festival."

"Isn't this disrespectful to Dayan or something?" Xue Yi angrily said, "Moreover, he is not ashamed, but rather proud. He really doesn't see you, Your Majesty, or Dayan in his eyes."

"I ask the emperor to issue an order to punish Helian Tu and others, so as to rectify the country's prestige."

Emperor Yan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Xue Yi to say such a thing.

Heliantu on one side obviously didn't expect a hat to be put on his head like this. Although they did put a little thought into it, the crime was directly placed on his head, a majestic Emperor of Yan Kingdom, killing a person who disrespected himself Don't be too easy.

"Emperor Yan is clearly aware." Helian Tu loudly defended himself, "Helian absolutely did not disrespect you, Emperor Yan. This white tiger is absolutely safe in the cage. It is a congratulatory gift for Emperor Yan, just to add to the fun."

"Shanyu specifically asked the minister to bring the white tiger to you, Emperor Yan, intact." Heliantu gradually calmed down, and the two armies were fighting, not to beheaded, let alone celebrating his birthday.

With a sound of "咻", Heliantu saw an arrow passing in front of him. Without thinking, Heliantu quickly reached out and grabbed the arrow feather in his hand, and blood slid down the arrow body.

"What's the meaning of Lord Xuehou?" Heliantu glared at Xue Yi angrily with red eyes. Today, the white tiger died here, and Shanyu would not let him go.

Behind Xue Yi, a guard slowly put down the bow and arrow. Looking at the clothes, it was a palace guard directly transferred by the emperor.Xue Yi waved his hand, "Back off."

"Why are you staring at Master Ben? Are you showing off your big eyes?" Xue Yi rolled his eyes, "Since I said it was for the sake of the emperor's future, Master Ben is not going to fulfill you? Isn't the prey in the hunting ground just for use?" Was it hunting?"

"Could it have other effects?"

"The white tiger with hanging eyes has been given to Emperor Yan, and it belongs to Emperor Yan." Heliantu threw the sharp arrow aside, "Master Xue shot at will, so he didn't take Emperor Yan seriously."

Xue Yi sneered, "Could it be that Lord Helian's eyes are used as decorations? Benhou Lord sees you throwing away the emperor's arrow feathers, which is disrespectful to the emperor."

"The words are unreasonable." Heliantu forced himself not to look at the arrow feathers that he was still standing aside. "The white tiger is a birthday gift from Shanyu to Emperor Yan, which means that the friendship between the two countries will last forever."

He Liantu said that he believed it in the end, "Is it a good sign that the living things turn into dead things on the Qianqiu Festival? Lord Xue Hou, don't mess around."

Xue Yi became annoyed right away, "You, Heliantu, didn't say that seeing blood is unlucky when you fed the tiger's bloody raw meat just now."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people around him became subtler when they looked at Helian Tu.Emperor Yan on the dragon chair also narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing bloody raw meat, ferocious white tigers, big swallows, and Huns.

What does this imply?

Without waiting for Heliantu to speak, Xue Yi scolded angrily, "Ten years ago you Huns bowed their heads to Dayan, but now you are talking about the friendship between the two countries? I think you were not beaten enough back then!" You remember to eat but not to fight."

"There is still a tiger skin in Benhou's mansion. It was a plaything given to Benhou by his father five years ago." Xue Yi glanced at Heliantu disdainfully, "A tiger is as big as a tiger." Dare to say precious, who do you look down on?"

It was fine if Xue Yi didn't say it, but he said that Heliantu's eyes were bloodshot five years ago, and that the tiger skin Xue Yi was talking about was taken from Shan Yu's tent.

Great shame.

"Master Hou, don't be naughty." The vicissitudes of life came from the other side, Mrs. Xue took a stern look at Xue Yi, and told Xue Yi who was still clamoring, "Yes, grandma."

"Aren't you apologizing to Lord Helian?"

Xue Yi raised his glass reluctantly, and said perfunctorily, "Master Helian, don't blame me, Lord Ben was outspoken for a while, and said some unpleasant things, you must not take it to heart."

Xu Minyou laughed out loud, "Straight-talking, straight-talking. Hahahaha."

The ministers around are okay and can hold on.The teenagers on one side obviously couldn't bear it, they muttered and laughed secretly.The ladies who were frightened just now also covered their mouths and pointed.

"Master Xue was joking." In the Xiongnu envoy group, a young man who looked thinner stood up, "It was Heliantu who lost his voice just now, so don't worry about it because Lord Hou has a big heart."

Xue Yi nodded, with a natural expression on his face, "Your apology has been received by Ben Hou Ye. Ben Hou Ye is indeed broad-minded. Today is the emperor's Qianqiu Festival. Ben Hou Ye will let that Helian go, adults don't care about villains. .”

The young man kept smiling, "What Hou Ye said is true. He is indeed the new Hou Ye of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion. His words are equally powerful, which is admirable."

"A tiger father has no dogs." Xue Yi and You Rongyan said, "The father of the Marquis is indeed a very outstanding person, otherwise how could he have driven you Xiongnu back to the depths of the grassland under the leadership of the emperor."

After speaking, he looked at the young man with joy, "You are also amazing, you can live so well in the ice and snow, it really is adversity that produces talents. I admire it."

The scene was silent for a while.
