Chapter 382: Birthday
Su Zixu was so keen, he knew that things were not simple, so he turned around, and the red clothes on the shelf were draped on his body, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
When Su Zixu followed the black shadow to the side hall, his eyes sank.
The shadow first poked a hole in the window paper, and carefully looked around as he blew smoke into it. After waiting for half a ring, the palace people all fell, she tiptoed open the door of the third prince's bedroom, and quickly turned around and closed the door.
The third prince was lying on the bed and sleeping sweetly, his cheeks crimson, like a porcelain doll. The dark shadow walked over to the bed and stared at him with a pained expression.
"Replacement?" she murmured, laughing mockingly.
After a while, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stretched out his hand to pinch the neck of the third prince, but he was entangled for a while and then put it down.
With a flick of her hand, she gave the third prince another sleeping drug, and quickly rummaged through the room, not letting go of all the corners, even the wooden box hidden under the bed was pulled out by her.
Su Zixu kept lying on the roof and watching, and found that the black shadow did not hurt the third prince, so he endured it and did not make a move.
She felt familiar to the dark shadow in the room, but she couldn't remember who it was. In contemplation, the dark shadow had already opened the wooden box, turned the contents of the box upside down, and when she found a painting, she froze for a while, and when she saw the face of the woman in the painting, she fell to the ground.
Su Zixu flicked his finger lightly, and there was a banging knock on the door outside the house, the black shadow's face changed, he grabbed those things and threw them into the box, slammed them shut, kicked them, the box returned to its original position, and the black shadow disappeared.
When she left, Su Zixu entered the palace to check the pulse of the third prince, and found that he had just fallen asleep, so he put his mind at ease.
After sitting on the side of the third prince's bed for a while, Su Zixu returned to the bedroom and lay down, thinking about what had just happened. That black shadow is not weak in martial arts, there is no doubt that she is a woman, and only Dugushuang can do martial arts in other palaces, but the figure of Fang Cai is not her.
Who the hell is it? Su Zixu pondered for a while, and a person's appearance suddenly flashed in his mind, and the words in his mouth blurted out, "It's her." ”
……
As soon as Su Zixu had breakfast, Liuli handed over an invitation and said, "Niangniang, tomorrow the queen will hold a spring banquet in the imperial garden, this is an invitation." ”
"Spring Festival banquet? Now that the two countries are at war, the queen still has the heart to hold these banquets?" Su Zixu unfolded the invitation and looked at it, and after confirming that it was Queen Liu's handwriting, he couldn't help frowning.
The battle between Mo Yanguo and Nanfeng has not ended for more than a month, but the queen mother just held a banquet at this time, what is the purpose?
"Has the emperor given permission?"
"Back to Niangniang, the emperor gave permission. ”
As soon as Su Zixu put down the invitation, Mama Lian walked in with the third prince.
After talking to the third prince, Su Zixu asked the palace people to take him out to play.
Su Zixu left Mama Lian and asked, "Mama, do you know what day tomorrow is?"
Mama Lian said without thinking: "Tomorrow is the birthday of the queen's mother." ”
Su Zixu was surprised.
Liu's Birthday...... Tomorrow was indeed her birthday, and she had forgotten it. A few years passed, and she didn't remember many inconsequential things. In the past, when the Liu family was not yet the queen, because of the position problem, there was no grand birthday banquet, and she never knew her birthday. Unexpectedly, she didn't hold it ceremoniously this time, was it because she was worried about the war between the two countries?
"I heard that the queen asked the emperor that this year's birthday banquet does not need to be held, and it is good to invite the harem concubines and the daughters of the ministers of the court to welcome the spring and taste tea together. Mama Lian replied.
I see, since it's a birthday, there's nothing to be grand, let alone just hold a Spring Festival banquet.
……
"Xing'er, are you all ready?" asked Queen Liu.
"Rest assured, everything has been arranged. Xing'er said, looked up and smiled at Queen Liu.
Immediately, she put a drawing in front of Queen Liu and pointed out to her where each concubine sat on it.
Empress Liu observed for a while, pointed to a place above, and ordered, "Change this to this place." ”
"Niangniang, this ......" Xing'er looked at the location distribution above, a little embarrassed. If this is arranged, I am afraid that some concubines will not like it.
"It's okay, just do what Hongu says. Queen Liu said. Everything is arranged, but there can be no problems at this juncture.
She groaned for a while, frowned and asked, "By the way, hasn't Yao Lao replied yet?"
Seeing Xing'er shaking her head, Queen Liu's eyebrows were furrowed, and she was faintly worried. She has been dosing more than a dozen letters, but there has been no response for a month.
Thinking together, Queen Liu was surprised: "Isn't it that Yao Lao had an accident on the road?" She has been using the most secret way of transmission between the two of them to deliver the news this month, and it is impossible for the medicine to go wrong. Yao Lao used to reply to her every time, but this time there has been no reaction at all after so long, it seems that something is really wrong.
She instructed, "Xing'er, you go and bring Dugushuang over." ”
As soon as noon arrived the next day, Su Zixu took the three princes to the imperial garden to prepare for the banquet.
"The concubine sees the concubine of the moon. A few little concubines passed by and said softly.
Su Zixu nodded at them, estimating in his heart that there was still some time before the banquet, so he took the three princes to wander around the imperial garden at will.
"Brother of the Three Emperors. A childish child's voice came, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time, and the second prince ran over happily.
Su Zixu and Concubine Shu were wandering in the garden, while the second and third princes were taken by the palace people to play elsewhere.
"Sister Yue doesn't seem to be interested in looking at it today. Concubine Shu said with a smile.
"Really?" Su Zixu said in surprise, and replied as he walked forward, "I was ill a few days ago, and it didn't take long to get better, and my face was not very good." ”
She didn't want to participate in these banquets in the palace, but she had to come because of Queen Liu's face. After all, it is Queen Liu's birthday, and if she doesn't come, she will definitely be displeased in her heart, thinking that she is on the shelf.
Su Zixu couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart.
She has lived in the palace for a few years, but she didn't expect to go around and around, and the only person who can speak is Concubine Shu. When she was still Concubine Su, she didn't have any communication with Concubine Shu, and she wanted to come to the time flies, but now these things have passed.
"What my sister was thinking, she was so engrossed. Concubine Shu smiled, but she was not angry because of Su Zixu's distracted attitude.
"My sister was thinking, fate is really a wonderful thing, how could the concubine never have imagined that Yao'er would become a playmate with the second prince, and my sister would talk so much to me. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Shu sighed and said abruptly: "Fate is indeed a wonderful thing. ”
She hadn't imagined such a day before.
As soon as the two of them walked for a while, a eunuch ran over to remind them that the banquet was about to start and asked them to go back.
At the beginning of the Spring Festival banquet, Emperor Yan had not yet arrived because of something, Su Zixu was very interested, bowing his head and eating the things on the table. She glanced around at the concubines in the hall, full of doubts about today's position.
Concubine Qi actually sat on her left side, not only that, but the place where she sat was close to Queen Liu. That moment made her suspicious.
