Chapter 482: The Feast
He Rong moved the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
Before Chu Yunsheng could see the meaning of that smile clearly, he heard the voice of the green bead sound from not far away: "So you are here!"
The voice was not loud, but it was enough for Chu Yunsheng and He Rong to listen carefully.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng followed the voice and looked back, only to see that not only was the green bead not far away, but there were also Tang Duyun and Chu Yunyi standing beside her.
At this time, the two of them were also looking at Chu Yunsheng, Chu Yunyi was still wearing a veil, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, only her eyes flashed with a cunning light, and the corners of Tang Duyun's mouth next to her were slightly raised, and she had a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, which was even more unpredictable.
As soon as he saw them, Chu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At least, Tang Duyun and Chu Yunyi thought of using her to test He Rong, so comparing the two, she felt that it was much safer for her to return to Tang Duyun and Chu Yunyi's side at this time than to stay by He Rong's side.
"Your Highness, Miss. ”
At the same time as seeing them, Chu Yunsheng had already hurriedly quickened his pace, trotted in front of them, and while saluting them, he raised his eyes from time to time to look at He Rong who was not far away.
Tang Duyun and Chu Yunyi hadn't spoken yet, and the green bead behind them complained to Chu Yunsheng first: "Didn't you say that you would come back soon, but I waited for so long and didn't see anyone, and then I looked for you for so long, and in the end, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss were alarmed." ”
Her tone was full of complaints and accusations.
Chu Yunsheng also knew that she had indeed been away for too long, she had been delayed for too long when she went to Chunxiao before, and now she was here with He Rong like this, so it was no wonder that Lu Zhu was angry like this.
But when she saw Tang Duyun and Chu Yunyi's expressions at this time, she didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with her leaving, on the contrary, she also saw a thoughtful light in Tang Duyun's eyes.
Could it be that Tang Duyun really thought that he could attract too much attention from He Rong and wanted to use her?
This idea just popped up in Chu Yunsheng's mind, and she denied it, but it seemed that there was no other possibility besides this.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and cautiously glanced at Tang Duyun and Chu Yunyi, and then said in a low voice: "It's all my fault, I got lost around the Imperial Garden, and I didn't dare to ask those guards rashly, so I wasted so much time going around here, and then I met ......"
Chu Yunsheng didn't finish the next words, her head looked slightly to He Rong, who was walking over.
That means for a reason.
Hearing this, Tang Duyun had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then waved his hand at Chu Yunsheng casually, signaling Chu Yunsheng to get up, and then he said to He Rong: "I didn't expect to meet Lord Liu here." ”
He didn't directly call He Rong "King Zhao", obviously he had some scruples in this Wei Palace.
He Rong raised his eyebrows, smiled back at Tang Duyun, and then said: "You and I are both participating in the banquet, so it is naturally not surprising to meet her in this palace, but it makes me a little surprised to meet her." ”
In other words, he didn't expect Tang Duyun to take Chu Yunsheng with him, you must know that Chu Yunsheng at this time was just a little maid of unknown origin for Tang Duyun and them, and this little maid also knew their secrets.
It stands to reason that such people should be exterminated, and Tang Duyun not only did not kill her, but also took her with him.
Tang Duyun snorted and laughed, the laughter was full of indifference, he glanced at Chu Yunsheng, and then he turned his eyes to look at Chu Yunyi beside him affectionately, and then raised his hand to wrap his arm around her shoulder, and said: "It was my wife who hit this girl at first sight, so she let me stay, I think it is rare to meet a girl who is so liked by my wife, so naturally I stayed, what, does Lord Liu have any opinions?"
Hearing this, He Rong still had a faint and decent smile on his face, he didn't even frown, he only looked at Tang Duyun and said, "So that's the case, it turns out that this is your wife." ”
Chu Yunsheng didn't expect that Tang Duyun would recognize Chu Yunyi as his wife.
If this time he took Chu Yunyi to the banquet just to act, and when he faced He Rong, he was just acting, then at this time, his expression when he looked at Chu Yunyi was too hot and affectionate, and it was difficult for people not to believe it.
And his next words confirmed this even more, I saw him look at Chu Yunyi's eyes, and then there was no one around: "Yes, my father's canonization has come down, just wait for us to go back this time, she will be my rightful crown princess, and no one can hurt her." ”
When he said the last sentence, Tang Duyun raised his head to look at He Rong, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
It's unpredictable.
And after knowing Chu Yunyi's identity, Chu Yunsheng could already vaguely read the meaning of his words, you know, He Rong is the person who has hurt Chu Yunyi the most, he not only ruined her country but also wanted to kill her.
If at this time, how could He Rong see the face under Chu Yunyi's veil, and then hear Tang Duyun say this, how would he feel?
Chu Yunsheng was thinking like this in his heart here, but Tang Duyun suddenly said something that surprised her, only to see him look at He Rong and smile: "Speaking of which, my wife, Lord Liu, should feel a little familiar." ”
Hearing this, a trace of surprise crossed He Rong's face, revealing a look of surprise that he deserved.
But Chu Yunsheng was really surprised.
Could it be that Tang Duyun wants to unveil Chu Yunyi's veil and identity in front of He Rong?
However, this is not beneficial to the friendship between Zhao Guo and Yan Guo, and Tang Duyun and Chu Yunyi are obviously calculating Zhao Guo and He Rong in private, and they can't wait for He Rong to die, how can they reveal their identities at this time?
is such a joint that Chu Yunsheng couldn't figure out, but at this time, it was really said by Tang Duyun.
I saw him turn his eyes and glance at Chu Yunyi, and then after Chu Yunyi nodded, Tang Duyun raised his hand to lift the veil on Chu Yunyi's face.
The moment the veil was lifted, Chu Yunsheng only felt that all of a sudden quiet.
At this time, it was already late, and when night fell, palace lamps were lit on the palace walls all over the imperial garden, and they were close to the rockery, carrying some light, although it was vague, they could already get a rough look at Chu Yunyi's appearance.
And it was this general appearance that made He Rong stunned for a moment.
Chu Yunsheng also followed He Rong's gaze, only to find that it was because of the dim light at this time, coupled with Chu Yunyi's head down, the expression between her eyebrows and her silhouette looked like her in the previous life.
In the previous life, among all the royal daughters in King Chen's palace, only Chu Yunyi's appearance was more similar to Chu Yunsheng, but now because of this light, from He Rong's point of view, it is no different from the original Chu Yunsheng.
It's no wonder that He Rong lost his mind for a moment.
Without waiting for He Rong to speak, Tang Duyun, who was standing opposite him, said first: "How is it, does Lord Liu feel familiar?"
He Rong moved the corners of his mouth and did not answer.
Tang Duyun continued: "But everyone who has seen my wife says that she looks like the princess in the palace of King Chen in the past, and I believe that Lord Liu should be the most familiar with this? ”
Tang Duyun's words directly made it clear that Chu Yunyi in front of him was not Chu Yunsheng in the former Chen Palace, let alone Chu Yunyi, but just another person who was somewhat similar to the two of them, and Tang Duyun's move seemed to expose Chu Yunyi to He Rong, so that He Rong, who was already suspicious by nature, would be wary of this, but it was really a clever move, because since he appeared in He Rong's field of vision, according to He Rong's temperament, he would inevitably send people to pay more attention to him and watch his every move, and at that time, the veiled woman beside him would inevitably attract He Rong's attention, instead of being investigated by He Rong's people and finally arousing He Rong's suspicions, it is better to directly expose her true face in front of him like this, so that He Rong can't figure out whether this is Chu Yunyi or a woman with a similar face to Chu Yunyi and Chu Yunsheng.
And He Rong was a little distracted when he saw Chu Yunyi for the first time, he quickly regained his composure, and then said with a smile: "It's not surprising that there are people who look similar in this world, after all, in the palace of King Zhao before, there was also a woman who was very similar to that person. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Yunsheng also remembered that when he was in King Zhao's palace before, there was such a singer who almost reached the point of being fake and real with her in the previous life, but I don't know what happened to the woman later.
Chu Yunsheng's thoughts drifted a little far, and here Tang Duyun and He Rong had already put aside the question of Chu Yunyi's appearance in the laughter and conversation, and the two talked and laughed all the way, and walked to the palace where the banquet was held.
Chu Yunyi followed behind the two of them, while Chu Yunsheng and Lu Zhu followed behind Chu Yunyi.
She walked with her head down, still looking cautious, but her eyes raised from time to time to look at He Rong in front of her, if she had the ability to read minds, she really wanted to read what He Rong was thinking at this time.
In this way, Chu Yunsheng still had something on his mind, and followed them all the way to the palace of tonight's banquet.
At this time, the courtiers of the country were basically all seated, and Tang Duyun and He Rong were the last wave.
Their seats are in the first and second positions of Wei Wang's lower left hand respectively.
Chu Yunsheng followed them into the table, and also stood behind Chu Yunyi and Tang Duyun with Lu Zhu.
Before the banquet opened, the hall was lively and tight, seeing the prince of Weiguo, someone came to greet and salute from time to time, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, King Wei came from the outside accompanied by Concubine Jing.
The hall, which was still lively just now, suddenly quieted down, and after everyone saluted, King Wei walked to the main seat with Concubine Jing.
After the voice of everyone getting up fell, Chu Yunsheng and Bizhu slowly stood up together with the last group of maids who got up, and without waiting for her figure to stand still, she suddenly felt a gaze shooting from the opposite side, that gaze was like a torch, as if it could see through people's minds with just one glance, Chu Yunsheng subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at that gaze, but found that there was no trace at all.
After King Wei asked everyone to sit down, all eyes in the four places had already focused on King Wei, and it was obviously not easy for Chu Yunsheng to search for that gaze among the people in the hall.
After searching around without success, in order not to attract the attention of others, Chu Yunsheng had to lower his eyes and stand behind Chu Yunyi in the same manner as Bizhu.
At the beginning of the banquet, the process was nothing more than King Wei saying some polite words to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yan State and others, but to Chu Yunsheng's surprise, this time the banquet was not only made by Yan State, but also by Zhao State, and even Chu State sent people.
You must know that not long ago, the combined forces of Zhao and Wei fought with Chu on the border.
At such a sensitive time, the State of Chu would even send envoys, not to mention what kind of thoughts the decision-makers of the State of Chu had, even if the envoys of the State of Chu did not have some courage, it would be difficult for them to be on such an occasion.
Thinking of this, when he heard the eunuch singing, Chu Yunsheng, like everyone else, followed the direction of the eunuch's singing, and looked at the seat behind the middle opposite her, which was the seat of the envoy of the Chu State.
Before that, she had not received any news that the State of Chu had sent an envoy, and the elite of the Heavenly Killing had not even passed the news to her, how could there be an envoy from the State of Chu suddenly appearing here, at this time, not only the courtiers of the Kingdom of Defending the country were surprised, but even Chu Yunsheng was also very surprised.
Especially when she saw the three unfamiliar faces at that table, she was even more puzzled.
Although she is not familiar with the government of the Chu State, she has stayed by Su Jingxuan's side for a while, and she has also lived in the Prince's East Palace for a while, and she has also seen those slightly important ministers in the Chu court, and obviously, these three people are unfamiliar to her and she has never seen them.
Since the State of Chu is sending envoys, it is enough to see the importance of this banquet and even the envoy to defend the country, but on such an important occasion, there is not any minister of the State of Chu that Chu Yunsheng has seen, which makes Chu Yunsheng even more surprised.
Just when Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and looked at the three people suspiciously, the previous gaze shot at her again, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and immediately met that gaze, only to find that there were two retinues standing behind the three of them.
They were all about twenty years old, with handsome appearances, and there was nothing outstanding about their appearance alone, but it was the person on the left in the middle of the two that made Chu Yunsheng stunned.
Because the gaze that looked at her before came from that person.
At this time, when Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes to look over, he was also raising his eyes to meet Chu Yunsheng's gaze, and the eyes of the two quietly collided in a smile and laughter across the entire banquet.
