Chapter 303: Family Banquet (4)
Xia Qing followed at the back of the big team.
In front of her was a group of palace people carrying props and clothes.
They are all very serious, and they look like no one cares about them.
Xia Qing knew that even if he chatted with them, he must be bored, so he stopped talking and silently followed the back of the team.
The specifications of this family banquet must be very high.
Because along the way, they are all palace people with all kinds of plates.
There are also many palace stewards or aunts who are arranged in various palaces.
At this time, it was not very bright.
The group was already busy in the dark.
Xia Qing had to admire the palace people.
Doing harder work than cattle and dogs, and thankless.
If she was one of those masters, she would definitely feel embarrassed to see the people working so hard one by one.
Sure enough, a soft-hearted person like her can't be a master.......
But at present, she has also seen a good master, such as that concubine Niangniang.
Passing by the various palaces and courtyards along the way, each of them was busy putting up lanterns to create a festive atmosphere.
After all, this is a family feast once a year, and it is more important than anything else.
Listening to the cinnabar women, there are still a lot of outsiders at this family banquet.
For example, the prince of the Moon Kingdom next door, the nobles of some small countries nearby, the princes of the Sand Kingdom who manage the desert, and some wealthy merchants from the Western Regions who came to the palace to pay tribute.
However, these outsiders were arranged at another banquet and did not eat with the members of the family feast.
Therefore, the emperor had to travel to two places for a banquet.
In the final analysis, it is the emperor who works hard.........
"Hibiscus, walk well! You're going to step on the foot of the man in front of you!"
Ning Ruo's voice came from afar.
Xia Qing was startled by Ning Ruo's voice.
She hurriedly kept her distance from the person in front of her, but Ning Ruo's voice still made her the target of public criticism.
She smiled awkwardly at everyone, and secretly slandered Ning Ruo.
It's okay to have such a loud voice.........
"Girls, you'll be at our rehearsal site soon, and you'll show me all your skills!
"I heard you!"
Although the girls are petite one by one, this voice is really not covered.
Xia Qing suspected that the voices of this group of girls could be heard within a radius of ten miles.
Are they really delicate aristocratic ladies.......
"You, wood, don't run around later!"
Ning Ruo specially ran down and said something to Xia Qing.
Xia Qing nodded with a stiff smile.
The eyes of the surrounding palace people looking at her have changed.
Is she really so unsettling.........
"Go to the back garden first, someone is waiting for you. ”
Ning Ruo passed by her, and suddenly said in a voice in her ear that only the two of them could hear.
Xia Qing's eyes widened.
She turned her head, and Ning Ruo had already walked far away.
No.... No way...... Ning Ruo, Ning Ruo is the person of the Rui Prince?
"Concubine Li, this dress is .........."
Cheng Qing looked at Concubine Li in front of her in a pink Luo skirt, and her eyes were full of doubts.
"What's wrong, isn't it?"
Concubine Li looked down, there was nothing dirty.
But it's also very strange, when she just came from Xiangrui Palace in a sedan chair, the palace people were also looking at her with strange eyes along the way.
It made her think that her clothes were torn or dirty.
She asked Peach Blossom to check it several times, and the clothes were all fine.
Now as soon as she arrived at the Ju'an Palace, even Cheng Qing looked at her strangely.
That shows that there is really something wrong with one link.
"Actually, a pregnant woman should no longer wear pink. Even if you want to wear it, you wear it once on the day you return home, and then you can't wear it again for the rest of your life. ”
Cheng Qing's expression was full of warmth.
This is the first time she has seen such a Cheng Qing.
"Is that so...... This is indeed the dress that my mother told me to wear when I came home....... But I didn't wear ......."
"I'm sorry. ”
Before she could react, she had been pulled by a force and hugged into her arms.
She froze.
Cheng Qing's apology came unexpectedly.
She didn't even know what he was apologizing for.
Apologize for not allowing her to return back to the door back then?
That's no need anymore.
That's all in the past.
She is going to let go of this man, and these things will be put down.
The warmth of this man's arms is rare.
Makes her a little confused.
The sound of his heartbeat was clear and powerful.
On his back were the man's slender hands, which he clasped tightly, as if he was afraid that she would break away.
But this was completely unnecessary.
She wasn't going to break away at all.
How many times can she stay in such a embrace?
"The previous thing was very unfair to you...... It's my fault, I'm ..... Knowing it's too late to compensate you..... So today, I give you something as a little bit of my heart. ”
The voice of the man above his head was a little weak.
She looked up slightly, and saw his white chin.
He was looking up, and she couldn't see his expression.
"You don't have to give me any compensation, I've gotten used to it all these years. ”
She stayed quietly in his arms, and her voice was relieved and relieved.
Anyway, the days here are not long.
This man, who has been loved by her for half her life, will not be visible in the future.
"Anyway, this thing is my intention, and you must accept it. ”
The man let her go gently, and his eyes were a little wet.
"If you take it, I can rest assured. ”
"Good....... I'll take it. ”
"Virtue and talent. ”
"It's the emperor!"
Decai came in from the door of the Ju'an Palace, and he saluted her respectfully.
"Give that to Concubine Li. ”
"Yes. ”
Decai turned his head and instructed the palace people outside, "Take it in." ”
A little eunuch held a golden plate in his hand, which was covered by a golden cloth, and it was impossible to see what it was.
"Open. ”
Cheng Qing said softly.
"Yes. ”
The little eunuch knelt down and held the plate high.
Decai knelt down on the side and opened the gold on it.
A death-free gold medal appeared in front of the two of them.
Concubine Li stepped back and turned her head to look at Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing's face was as usual, he took a step forward and picked up the death-free gold medal.
"This is what I'm going to give you, keep it well, it's useful........."
"Why are you giving this to me?"
Concubine Li was suddenly a little scared.
She always felt that Cheng Qing was very strange today.
Strange scared her.
"Concubine Li, this is my heart, there is no reason. ”
"Then you can give me anything, why is this! are you, what do you want to say........."
"Concubine Li, come and kneel down to receive the gold medal. ”
Cheng Qing suddenly interrupted Concubine Li's words, and he pulled Concubine Li over.
Concubine Li was pulled by him, and the whole person leaned on him.
Cheng Qing simply didn't let her kneel, and directly stuffed the gold medal into her hand.
"This thing, I gave you, is useful at all times. ”
"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty......"
Concubine Li held a heavy gold medal in her hand, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
This is a gold medal for avoiding death, which is equivalent to Cheng Qing personally giving her a way out.
A chance to save her life.
Cheng Qing saw that she was still stunned, so she simply grabbed her hand.
"Let's go to the feast. ”
