The next day, I slept late and woke up, and there was no movement outside except for a little more wind. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. Xie Feng still suppressed the incident last night, or he himself was suspicious and did not make a public announcement. After breakfast, 'Hua' Zhu and Yunshan walked in with pen, ink and paper.

The two of them looked at my slightly reddened eyes and asked in a low voice, "Miss Yan didn't sleep well last night?" ”

I said angrily: "Your master is making a fuss, do I still dare to sleep?" ”

They looked at each other, and 'Hua' Zhu said softly: "Miss Yan, don't be angry, in fact, the master is too careful." I heard that the master and Pei Gongzi met yesterday to discuss things, and Pei Gongzi also specially mentioned the safety of the young lady, no matter what, you can't have any mistakes. Yesterday, the master was probably too nervous, so he looked at the 'dazzle'. ”

I raised my eyes and looked at them: "Pei Yuanxiu really said that?" ”

"Hmm."

“……”

I was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, I got it." ”

The two of them put their things on the table, looked at the brazier that was almost full of ashes, and said softly: "Miss Yan, Childe also said that you should not be too distracted. You've been writing too many Buddhist scriptures lately, so it's not good for you? ”

I smiled: "I've been writing for a few days, and I won't write after a while." ”

"Then you still have to rest more."

"I see, I'll listen to you."

The two of them nodded reassuringly, turned around and went out.

I wrote at the desk for more than an hour, and when I saw that it was almost time for lunch, I really felt that my eyes were slightly astringent, so I put down my pen and walked to the 'door', and 'Hua' Zhu and Yunshan immediately greeted me: "Miss Yan is going out?" ”

"Well, go for a walk. You're right, I've been too much lately, I've been a bit distracted. ”

"But it's time to eat."

"It's not time yet. I'll take a walk and come back and eat a little more. ”

"Then, we'll be with you."

"Okay."

It's not too cold today, but it's a little windy, so it's okay for me to walk outside with a piece of wind.

In the past few days, the weather has warmed up, and some of the 'flower' branches of the trees in the palace have become more and more luxuriant, and even some of the 'flowers' of early 'spring' have bones, and a sense of 'spring' leaps in front of them. I walked while enjoying the scenery, and I didn't feel that time had passed, and after a while, I came to a long Yongdao crossing, which was a side hall leading to the front, where the emperor often held banquets in the past, and it was relatively large, but it was not a formal state banquet.

As soon as I walked over, I saw a group of small palace 'women' passing by with a vegetable plate in their hands.

Fortunately, these people were very cautious, and each of them had a pair of eyes staring at what they were holding on to something, and no one noticed that we were standing here, so I didn't rush over.

When they walked by, I counted them carefully, and there were quite a few of them.

Is there a feast ahead?

And it seems that the scale of this banquet is not small, definitely not less than ten people.

I was about to walk forward, when two 'squires' suddenly came out in front of me and stopped me, and they politely leaned over and saluted me: "Miss Yan." ”

I nodded: "Ahead, is it a banquet?" ”

The two of them looked at each other and didn't answer me, but at this time, a group of small palace 'women' walked over on the other side, holding wine jugs and fruit saucers in their hands. Even if they didn't answer, I could tell that they must be hosting a banquet to entertain someone, and the standard of the banquet was not low.

I smiled and looked at the two of them: "What, don't you let me know?" ”

“……”

"Can't you take a look?"

“……”

These two men probably didn't have any clever minds, nor did they have clever words, they just leaned over and stood in front of me, the meaning was already obvious, and they didn't intend to tell me, let alone let me pass.

'Hua' Zhu and Yunshan stood behind me, also looking at them strangely.

The two sides almost faced each other for a while before one of the guards said, "We're just guarding here, not letting people pass." Since Miss Yan was not invited, please go back. ”

It turned out that it was just a matter of dedication.

At this moment, a group of people walked by at the intersection in front, led by Gonggong Liu, almost all of them were unfamiliar faces at a glance, but when they looked closely, there were also a few familiar ones, including the deputy general next to General Zheng Tong, the 'attendant' who followed the evil Hou Qi and the Iron Whip King, as well as the 'attendant' and 'woman' of Han Zitong and Geerdi......

Generally speaking, the 'attendants' and 'servants' and 'women' are all to follow the master at the banquet, serve the master, and protect the master, these people appear here, obviously the people who participate in today's banquet are their masters, but the place where they came is the side hall where the banquet is held, and the place where they go is a resting place arranged for the subordinates.

In other words, they are not allowed to stay at the banquet.

My mind was spinning fast, but at this time I was no longer allowed to turn around and leave, because after those people walked through the intersection, Gonggong Liu happened to see me. He was stunned for a moment, and after calming down, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face, and said with a haha: "Miss Yan is here too." ”

I smiled, "I'm a little tired, so I'm out for a walk." ”

After speaking, I deliberately looked inside, but in fact, standing at this intersection, I couldn't see anything unless I had a few feet long neck, but the two honest 'guards' still took another step forward and stopped me very loyally: "Miss Yan, please don't go any further." ”

As soon as he saw them like this, Gonggong Liu immediately said: "If you don't have the eyesight to see, retreat." ”

When they heard this, they also felt that they were too careful, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and retreated.

Gonggong Liu said with a smile: "Miss Yan, don't mind. ”

I smiled: "They, I'm afraid they're afraid I'm embarrassed." ”

"That's right, inside and outside this imperial city, who dares to embarrass Miss Yan?"

"Oh?"

"It's just that I know that Miss Yan has been in a dull mood these days, so I don't let these things bother Miss Yan's heart. Childe's intentions, Miss Yan understands. ”

I blinked, then smiled, "Then, I'll take this love." Today, let's just say I haven't been here. ”

"It's natural, and the slave doesn't see anything."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, meaning to see me off, and I smiled and said, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

Then he turned around and walked away.

When leaving, I seemed to hear the old man's breath.

'Hua' Zhu and Yun Shan followed behind me, both of them were a little puzzled, I could feel the two of them fighting with their eyebrows, but they didn't dare to speak easily, I waited until I walked back to the dormitory, and then asked, "What about your master?" ”

"Left today."

"Oh? That is to say, there was a banquet over there just now, and your master didn't attend? ”

The two of them looked at each other again and muttered, "It seems to be." ”

“……”

It's no wonder that these two girls don't know anymore, and they will follow me all the way.

I smiled and said, "Then it's not good to tell your master about this." ”

The two of them were actually a little confused, obviously the two little girls were not mentally prepared to hide their master, let alone such experience, I smiled and said: "Pei Gongzi did this, naturally he had his intentions. I don't think it's a big deal, but if I say it, I'm afraid that Lord Xie will also think about it, and it won't be good. ”

They looked at me for a moment as if they didn't understand, and then said softly, "Oh. ”

I laughed again: "Actually, it's okay to tell him. ”

After speaking, he stopped talking and went to the table, and after a while, the people in the imperial dining room brought the food over.

I don't know how many delicacies there will be at the banquet, but the dishes that will be delivered to me will not be much inferior to those at any banquet, but today, I have no appetite, and I can't eat a single bite of half a bowl of crystal rice.

There is something wrong with the feast that is being held in the side hall now!

That's why they hide it from me.

I thought back to the 'attendants' I had just seen, although I didn't know most of them, but the few familiar faces had already made me judge that there were roughly those who attended the banquet - Han Zitong, Evil Hou Qi, Iron Whip King, Zheng Tong......

There are people from Shengjing, and there are people from Jinling.

It is said that the people on both sides were still making trouble a few days ago, although they killed Xiaolian and stabilized the scene, and the turmoil on the side of the Xishan camp seemed to have calmed down temporarily, but in such a short time, can the two sides abandon their previous suspicions and sit down to drink and talk?

Even if they really sat down together looking at Pei Yuanxiu's face......

But why hide it from me?

I was present when I killed Xiaolian and belittled Han Ruoshi that day, why is this incident just a testimony today, but he didn't let me get half a step closer to that side.

Is there anything you can't let me know?

I picked the edge of the bowl hard, my nails were white, there was one thing that worried me the most, and it was also the thing that scared me the most, which had been hidden in the deepest part of my heart, and now, because of a wine banquet, faintly appeared, and even slowly took shape in my heart.

With a "snap", I slapped the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

|

For an afternoon, I didn't go out again, but I couldn't calm down to write another word, until after dinner, I listened to the wind outside, although no one came to me to say anything, but I knew in my heart that the banquet was not over yet.

I had a vague feeling that if the banquet was over, something would happen to me here.

I was quietly waiting.

Time flies quickly, and after a while, there was a knock on the second watch outside, I thought I could wait a little longer, but because I didn't sleep well last night, my eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and they kept falling, and finally even I couldn't hold it anymore, so I couldn't hold it anymore, so I lay down on the 'bed' with a brocade quilt, and only used a brocade quilt to cover my 'chest' under it, if anything happened, I could get up immediately.

As soon as I lay down, I couldn't resist the drowsiness that kept coming like a 'tide', and I slowly closed my eyes.

But in sleep, it is also unstable.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes watching me in the dark, obviously just an invisible gaze, but it made me sit on pins and needles, and I couldn't even dream.

I opened my eyes at once, and I saw the eyes of my dreams close at hand in the dim candlelight.

Pei Yuanxiu was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at me.

My heart was about to stop beating and bounce off the bed, but he reached out and grabbed my shoulders faster than I could and pushed me back to the bed.

My throat was hoarse, and I was about to speak: "You-"

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

“……”

"I'm coming to see you."

The candlestick was about to burn out, and the faint glow of the flickering candle that was almost on the verge of collapse illuminated half of his outline, and of course I could tell it was him.

But I didn't expect him to come and sit next to my 'bed' in the middle of the night!

My heart was beating like thunder, and even my breathing was 'chaotic', but his breathing was steady and long, and because I was so close, I could clearly feel his breath, and I immediately smelled a strong smell of wine.

He had just come down from the banquet and was here right away?

But why did he drink so much?

No matter who I faced, I was the last thing I wanted to face a drunk, and at this time I frowned and whispered, "What are you going to do?!" ”

Although he was full of alcohol, he seemed to be very sober, and his voice was no different from usual, and even had the gentleness of ordinary times.

He looked at me quietly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just coming to see you, by the way, to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Ten days later, my enthronement ceremony will be held."

“……”

My breath was choking.

The battle has been fought, they have entered the capital, and Pei Yuanhao has been 'forced' to leave, and this day will come sooner or later. I'm prepared.

However, when I actually heard him say it, it still made my heart beat a little.

I was silent for a moment before I slowly said, "Really? ”

“……”

"That's hello."

In the dimness, his gaze flickered slightly, neither bright nor drowned in the dim light, but the temperature of that gaze gave me the illusion that I was approached by a candle and almost burned my skin.

I subconsciously flinched back, only to find that I had nowhere to run.

The soft 'bed' mattress was also as cold and hard as ice at this time.

He is about to ascend the throne, could it be that today's banquet is just to discuss this matter?

If so, it is understandable, no matter how discordant Jinling and Shengjing are, after all, it is a big event, and both of them are also the biggest help to help him build the country and enter the capital, even if it is a celebration banquet, it is understandable.

But if this is the case, why hide it from me? If you want to hide it from me, what does it mean to come to me in the middle of the night and tell me?

Sensing my eyes flickering, he looked at me and whispered, "What are you thinking?" ”

I lowered my eyelids and was silent for a moment before I said softly, "I already know about this, you can go." ”

“……”

"I want to rest."

He said, "There's one more thing, it's about you. ”
