Chapter 1009: Waiting
When Li Jin left the Plum Garden, except for Jing Wen's personal maids, there were all guards waiting outside the courtyard gate who had never seen them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Jin was very skeptical that these people were summoned by Jing Wen to deal with him, but since there was no action at this time, Li Jin was too lazy to guess the purpose of Jing Wen's original plan to summon these people.
The maid who had said that she would wait for Li Jin to come out had already disappeared at this time.
Thinking about it, it was not where to go to get warm, it should have been taken away by Jing Wen, although Li Jin felt that Jing Wen was doing this too much, but Li Jin had to admit that this kind of approach was very safe.
It's just that although Jing Min's own people outside the door are conducive to making her feel at ease, but at this time, Li Jin, who has no guide, how can she go back to the main hall of Cining Palace?
Glancing at Jing Wen, who was alone in the depths of the plum garden behind him, Li Jin strode out of the gate of the plum garden again.
Li Jin followed the general direction in his mind, and walked all the way along the verandah in the direction of the main hall of Cining Palace in his memory.
Maybe it's because the area around here is the range of the plum garden, and when you leave the gate of the plum garden, there are few people around, and you can hardly see a footprint. I don't know why this place is so deserted, but Li Jin is not in the mood to be curious about this at this time.
Now all she could think about was her own experience in the plum garden. If Jing Wen is arrogant, then Li Jin feels that today's events have definitely challenged her bottom line, but the peaceful attitude from beginning to end not only makes Li Jin feel incredible, but also becomes more and more confused about the current situation in her heart.
Li Jin has always been very confused, I don't know what kind of significance he has to the emperor, Huaiyang Wangfu and other power centers, it is worth them to spend their minds on entrapment or threat to themselves so solemnly, and now they have joined the Nanxiang Wangfu faction, this quagmire-like situation makes Li Jin have the illusion of entering the abyss.
Could it be that in addition to the role of his name, what special purpose can he play by himself when he goes to Saibei? Li Jin was puzzled, but he had no choice but to move forward according to this established fate.
It wasn't until a majestic palace appeared in his eyes that Li Jin remembered what he should be doing now. Li Jin looked at his empty hands, remembering the plum that was still hanging on the branches and should be brought back, and he was a little at a loss for a while. How can I go back to the business in this way?
If it is said that no one helped and did not break off the plum branch, I wonder if the maid who went to the plum garden with him will be punished. But other than that, Li Jin didn't know what excuse he could say.
Before Li Jin arrived at the door, the attendant who saw him sang loudly to tell the news that Li Jin had returned. Li Jin really wanted to go back to his house directly from the path at this time, but he just wanted to run away and leave this Cining Palace without saying anything, for fear that he would be regarded as a great disrespect and be punished.
With a feeling of helplessness all over his body, Li Jin stepped into the main hall again.
Who knew that at this time, the only person waiting in the hall was a female official who was standing behind the Queen Mother.
After seeing Li Jin enter the door, the female official seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and greeted her quickly, and said without a smile: "Miss Li has been away for too long, and the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess have already left the table." The princess took a step ahead and had already left Cining Palace. The Queen Mother has recovered from a long illness and is now taking a nap in the ear room. The Queen Mother left you here for lunch, and then went home. ”
Saying that, he put on a posture of invitation, as if he was going to lead Li Jin to dinner. It's just that Li Jin feels that something is wrong with such an arrangement.
"Wait, thank you for waiting for a long time. It's just that since the Queen Mother is tired, it would be disrespectful for me to bother here, can you please take a rest in the Queen Mother's descendants, and Li Jin will also leave and go home. ”
"Miss Li is going to resist the will and disrespect. The female officer had a calm expression saying that the weather was good, and after saying this, Li Jin only felt that the cold sweat behind her back came out.
Qiang smiled and said, "Li Jin doesn't dare, it's just ......"
"In that case, Miss Li will come with me. Saying that, the female official didn't wait for Li Jin's answer to finish, and took the lead in leading the way.
Li Jin looked at the firm back in front of him, and felt a sense of powerlessness for a while. This should probably be the grandmother in charge of Cining Palace, otherwise how can she raise such a personality.
Li Jin had no choice but to follow the female official and walk towards the other opposite corner of Cining Palace.
With the cranky thoughts in his mind, Li Jin temporarily calmed down. Probably the Queen Mother felt that she wanted to reward herself, so she left herself to eat, but if this is the case, then why let herself eat alone? Or maybe the Queen Mother has something to say to herself for a while, so that the maids around her have to stop herself like this?...... All kinds of speculations lingered in his heart, making Li Jin's anxious emotions more and more difficult to control.
Therefore, although Li Jin looked calm on the surface, his brows were irrepressibly tightly furrowed.
Coming to Jingxuan, where the Queen Mother usually eats, Li Jin was arranged on the left side of the first seat, looking at the food that was taken out one after another after he sat down, Li Jin felt that this time it was worth it. Although I was threatened and thought about it all morning, I finally tasted the rare delicacies outside. Li Jin optimistically explained himself, trying to calm his increasingly anxious heart.
Listening to the female official who has been accompanying him, the specifications of this entertainment for Li Jin are equivalent to the diet of the five concubines in the palace, four dishes and two soups, plus candied fruits and dried fruits, and one-third of the table is full. Li Jin thought of the edict issued by the emperor, and he didn't know where else in the harem today could have such pomp and circumstance besides this Cining Palace, and he was still doing things according to these old rules.
If everyone can act in accordance with the holy decree without the emperor's restraint, Li Jin feels that his leading role can be dispensed with. It's just that this is just a matter of thinking about it in his head, and Li Jin will never announce this idea.
Even if he had a discussion in his heart, Li Jin still had to admit that the delicacies in the palace were indeed appetizing. Even now, when Li Jin is not in the mood to taste delicious food, the delicious food with all the color and flavor still makes Li Jin's mood a lot better.
After being full of wine and food, Li Jin was arranged to rest in an ear room in the main hall just now. Li Jin was told that she could move around indoors at will, and she could take a nap for a while, and no one would bother her during this time.
It's just that although Li Jin was a little sleepy, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance too much. When I walked back and forth in the house, I happened to see a small table on the couch still with a plate of endgames.
Playing chess is the most sober and soothing activity for Li Jin in addition to flowers and plants, and he has obtained permission to be free again before, so he immediately sat on the side of the small table and studied it.
