Chapter 17: The Palace Banquet
I rubbed my sore wrist and walked awkwardly behind the little maid. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for this palace maid who came to call me, I wouldn't know how to get out of Long Yinxiu's body.
Five minutes ago, Long Yinxiu crushed me under me, and both of them glared at each other angrily. I tried my best but couldn't break the shackles of Long Yinxiu, so I gritted my teeth and said, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”
His tone was cold, "What do you want to do?" You just scolded this king so ugly, what do you say this king wants to do? ”
I bit my lip until I felt a fishy sweetness spread in my mouth, and there was a slight pain in my lips, I slowly let go and said to him coldly: "If you mess around, I will fight with you to break the net." ”
Long Yinxiu didn't reply, just looked at me coldly, and the atmosphere froze instantly, and only the breathing of the two of them could be heard, one after another, one after another.
"Ahem!" There were two dry coughs not far away, and Long Yinxiu and I both heard the sound, and a pink-clothed palace maid stood there with a red face, her expression was a little strange, her eyes kept staring at the ground, as if she was aware of our gaze, she said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Miss Xue'er, Ouyang Gongzi ordered the slave maid to come to find you." ”
Being "disturbed" by the palace maid, the force exerted by Long Yinxiu on me loosened slightly, and I pushed him away from me with all my might, and Long Yinxiu turned over from the ground and stood up, his face slightly red.
When the palace maid saw him, she saluted in a proper manner, "The slave and maid see the prince!" ”
Long Yinxiu bowed slightly, regaining his calm and relaxed appearance like a person who had nothing to do.
I got up from the ground, as if I had been hit by someone to break the "adultery", my face burned, I arranged my dress in embarrassment, glanced at Long Yinxiu coldly and walked towards the palace maid.
When my thoughts returned, I walked behind the little palace maid and asked her in a quiet tone, "What's your name?" ”
She replied respectfully, "Back to the girl, slave Hui'er." ”
"What just happened?" I then asked.
Hui'er seemed to understand what I meant, shook her head and returned: "The slave didn't see anything, the slave maid was just ordered to come to the imperial garden to look for the girl, and it happened that she met the girl on the road, and she didn't see anyone else. ”
I nodded in satisfaction and said "hmm". Yes, she is a smart and clever girl, and her impression of Hui'er in her heart is instantly better.
I followed Hui'er to the Fenglan Palace, and Ouyang Zhi was waiting here early. He waved his hand to signal Hui'er to stand back, and after Hui'er left, he pulled me aside and asked in a cold voice, "Where did you go?" ”
"Isn't it okay to walk around the Imperial Garden alone?" I looked at him with some weakness, and it wasn't until Ouyang stopped bowing my head that I breathed a sigh of relief.
He continued to ask: "Concubine Zhen fell into the water, why would he help you speak?" ”
He? After thinking for two seconds, I realized that what Ouyang Zhi said he was referring to Long Yinxiu.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know either!" "I really don't know, why did Long Yinxiu help me, I also want to know.
Ouyang Zhihu stared at me suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it, "I only walked away for a while, and you did such a 'good deed' really impressed me!" Looks like I'm underestimating your charm. ”
I was stunned, it turned out that he was yelling at me in the Imperial Garden, the so-called "good thing" was because Long Yinxiu helped me. I can't understand Ouyang Zhi's mind a little, didn't it let me attract Long Yinxiu? Why did he get angry when I did? I shook my head irritably and asked, "Didn't you ask me to attract him?" And I really don't know which one he sang, why are you so angry? ”
Ouyang Zhi didn't answer me, snorted coldly, and only spoke after a while: "You are not allowed to walk around before the palace banquet starts, stay here, and I'll call you later." After speaking, he was about to leave, and suddenly his steps stopped, "Prepare well, don't let me down." Then he left.
The birds carried the last trace of the slanting sun into a piece of ink, and the palace was also mottled with the dusk. The entire Fengchi Palace is lit up, and the soft palace lights reflect the tenderness of the harem beauties, and countless conspiracies are hidden behind the annihilation.
I yawned in the chaise longue, and spent the afternoon here bored, my stomach rumbling with hunger, and in the meantime, only Hui'er brought some pastries, which was simply a joke between my teeth for me as a top foodie after the modern rebirth.
I looked out the door, why didn't Ouyang Zhi come yet? I'm starving......
At this moment, heavy and powerful footsteps sounded outside, and my eyes lit up, and I immediately lay down on the chair half-dead, pretending to be about to die.
Ouyang stopped coming in, glanced at me lightly, and said without conscience: "Don't pretend to be dead, get up, the palace banquet is about to begin." ”
I didn't move, and my voice was faint enough to reply to him, "Ouyang Zhi, if you don't come again, I will starve to death, won't you care about people?" ”
Ouyang Zhi turned a deaf ear, strode over, and dragged me out of the chaise longue like a chicken.
I'm so anxious to jump up, can't he be gentle? "Oops! Let go, I'll go on my own! ”
Ouyang Zhiyan spread his hand when he heard this, and said in an unhappy tone: "Now that you are alive?" ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, straightened my dress, and silently followed him, the top priority now is not to quarrel with him, but to solve the problem of the stomach, people are iron, rice is a magnet. This is the law that I summarized after my modern rebirth.
The palace banquet was held in Fengyang Palace, and I followed Ouyang to the table. The seats are all seated in order according to the official rank, and it stands to reason that Ouyang Zhiyi should not be in the first place, but he sat straight in the front seat. According to the old system of Fengchi, only the prince who has an official residence or a king can be the chief, and the harem concubines have to be pushed back according to their grades.
I tugged at his sleeve to show that he was wrong, but he ignored him and pulled me to sit beside him.
The ministers also brought their wives or daughters to the table.
Those daughters and nobles are dressed up one by one, and they are all looking forward to performing well in front of the emperor today, if they can be lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, it is also a person who has ascended to heaven. What's more, I heard today that the handsome and incomparably handsome four princes in Longquan Country are also there, and he was crowned King Sheng at the age of twelve, not only with outstanding talents, but also as a candidate for the future prince of Longquan, if he is favored, it is also very good to think about.
All the nobles and ladies looked at each other, some were waiting for the emperor, and some were waiting for King Sheng, each thinking about it.
And I stared at the dish on the table and swallowed. A product of Guifei chicken, the chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy, oily but not greasy. Braised lion's head, golden in color, fragrant and tender in the mouth, teaching people to stop. Squirrel fish, drunken crab, jade tofu...... Everything makes my mouth water.
"The prince of Longquan Guosheng has arrived!" With a shout from the eunuch.
Everyone looked outward......
The visitor wore an ink-colored brocade robe, wrapped with gold thread, embroidered with a unicorn pattern, a red beast pattern belt wrapped around his waist, a dragon and Tian jade pendant at his waist, and black satin soap boots on his feet. The golden crown tied his hair, the sword eyebrows were raised lightly, and he walked in without squinting, and the ladies present all let out low exclamations. I shook my head, they were all bewildered by the man's appearance.
Suddenly, the green-clothed woman beside Long Yinxiu made me breathe, her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves, and her eyes were fixed on her.
