11. Chapter 11
During the palace banquet, Cangwu Jingyuan, who had been tossed by a lot of red tape all day, covered her lips with her long sleeves and yawned, boredly fiddling with the food on the table that did not quite match her taste, while looking at the familiar or unfamiliar characters around her with one hand on her cheek.
The first empress was attentive to the noble monarch beside her, and Shen Chen, who enjoyed the empress's personal care, let the food on the plate in front of her pile higher and higher, and he was happy to pour himself a wine glass.
The eldest princess, who was sitting diagonally opposite the Cangwu Jing Kite, was staring at herself viciously at this time, and her hand holding chopsticks was poking the food on the plate in front of her, as if she was being treated as food on the plate.
The forbearance of the third princess, the faint worry of Bai Qian, the worship of Cangwu Jingrui, plus the exploration of Shen Ye in the official seat.
These people all maintained a peaceful appearance on the surface, but their occasional gaze was noticed by the cangwu jingkite one by one.
Cangwu Jingyuan lowered her eyes and looked at the food on the plate that was almost slagmed by her, and sighed helplessly. There were so many beauties singing and dancing in the center of the venue, and they didn't look at her, they all stared at her, so that she couldn't sneak away if she wanted to.
Glancing at those people again, Cangwu Jing Yuan suddenly hooked his lips and smiled. Since you can't sneak away, it's better to pee! Thinking about it, she explained to the maid who served beside her, and Cangwu Jingkite ran away with the excuse of respect.
trotted all the way, until he ran to the pavilion by the mirror lake, and the cangwu jingkite sat down in the pavilion, leaning on the pillar and breathing a sigh of relief.
No matter how many times she has experienced the noisy scene of singing and dancing in the banquet, she still doesn't like it!
"I always thought that the fourth princess was the only one in this palace who was not bad, but I didn't expect her scheming to be so heavy." A voice with a thick mockery came from behind Cangwu Jing Kite.
I didn't expect to come here, but I still couldn't be clean, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled bitterly, turned her head to look behind her, and found that the other party was actually the personal maid who accompanied Shen Chen into the palace back then, and she is also Shen Chen's most trusted subordinate now.
Cangwu Jingkite is also because she has seen her a few times before she was reborn, and now she can recognize her at first sight.
After recognizing her, Cangwu Jingyuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Is this how your lord taught his subordinates?" Don't bow when you see this princess? โ
The maid stared at a pair of apricot eyes, stared at Cangwu Jing Kite viciously and said angrily: "The master has always taken good care of you, but you have used him with kindness, like you, who will do anything to achieve the goal, Rujin will not kneel!" โ
I didn't expect to follow Shen Chen into the palace for many years, and this girl still maintains such a straightforward and clear temperament of love and hate, which is rare.
Cangwu Jingyuan chuckled, "Let's go back when you're done scolding!" Your master seems to have drunk a lot. โ
Seeing that Cangwu Jingkite was not angry because of her disrespect, Rujin was slightly stunned, and looked directly at Cangwu Jingkite for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "In order to help you, the master promised to sleep in three months." If you still have a little conscience and gratitude, I hope you can help the master."
Now that Cangwu Jingkite has rightfully become the daughter of the noble monarch, there is naturally no reason to continue to live in the dilapidated Qingqiu Palace.
As soon as the dinner was over, Shen Chen took Cangwu Jingkite back to Chaoyang Palace and arranged for her to stay in the other palace of Chaoyang Palace.
Lying under her was a high-quality Nanmu bed, covered with a soft and warm but heavy brocade quilt, and outside the dormitory, there were two maids who had just been sent to serve her today to keep vigil.
This environment has improved more than one level compared to Qingqiu Palace, but Cangwu Jingyuan is bored and finds that she can't sleep at all.
Melodious, with a slight bleak piano sound intermittently in the ears, Cangwu Jingyuan simply sat up from the bed, sent the maid in the outhouse to rest, she put on her clothes alone and walked along the bluestone road towards the source of the sound.
Walking all the way to the pavilion in front of the main palace of Chaoyang Palace, Cangwu Jingyuan saw Shen Chen sitting on the stone bench and playing the piano. Looking at his misty eyes and slightly flushed face, it was obvious that he had been drunk at the palace banquet just now.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Shen Chen looked at the Cangwu Jingkite standing in front of the pavilion, and sneered: "Shouldn't the fourth princess who has achieved her goal raise a glass in the room to celebrate?" What are you doing here? โ
Cangwu Jingyuan raised his eyebrows: "It's rare for a dignified noble to have such a wolf bรจi, so I naturally want to come and see it." โ
Shen Chen's ink-colored eyes were instantly dyed with anger, and he stared coldly at Cangwu Jing Kite.
Cangwu Jingyuan smiled disapprovingly and said: "If you are so painful, why do you still stay in the palace, it shouldn't be difficult to leave this palace with your skills!" โ
Hearing this, the anger on Shen Chen's face gradually turned into bitterness, he picked up the wine jug in his hand and poured it down, stared at the guqin in his hand and said in a low voice: "When I was ten years old, my father was also an official in the court, and later because of the report of corruption by high-ranking officials, dozens of members of our family were killed by killers. Since then, I have been living in hatred, but because of the prominent status of the enemy family and the gathering of masters around me, I have no hope of revenge, and then because of the empress, I have to take revenge, and as a condition, I want to live in the palace for a long time to accompany her to the end of my life."
Saying that, Shen Chen raised his head and poured a big sip of wine again, and said with an astringent gaze: "Now that I am here, I can't even make my own decisions about life and death, so how can I get my freedom." โ
Listening to Shen Chen's narration of the past, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
I have to say that Shenchen is actually very similar to Cangwu Jingkite, once he makes a promise, he will do his best to complete it, and once he is emotional, he will give it wholeheartedly
It is precisely because of these similarities that when Cangwu Jingkite uses this man, he always has a little unbearability in his heart, and he wants to return this man's freedom more than anyone else. It's just that with her current strength, she can't do this
Looking at the man, Cangwu Jingyuan said lightly: "Borrowing wine to drown your sorrows can only add more troubles, and my father doesn't want to see you like this when he is alive." โ
I thought I could breathe so that I could fall asleep faster, but now it's good, Cangwu Jingyuan sighed lightly, turned around and walked towards the palace.
In the early morning of the second day, Cangwu Jingkite really got up from the bed with a face that did not wake up, and fell asleep before dawn, and it didn't take long to get up and go to the south study to listen to the Taifu's lecture, is there anything more painful in the world?
The green lotus, who served Cangwu Jingkite to wash, exclaimed as soon as he entered the house, "Princess, did you go to fight with others last night?" The circles under the eyes are all blue. โ
As soon as he drank a sip of awakening tea, he was sprayed on the bronze mirror in front of him by Cangwu Jingyuan, turned his head and gouged his eyes at the green lotus who was covering his mouth and snickering, Cangwu Jingyuan said weakly: "You dead girl is getting more and more bold, you dare to joke with your master!" โ
"The slave knows her mistake, but the princess, the white master is already waiting for you outside the palace! She asked me to sue you, as a companion, she has every right to punish the princess and prince who are late. โ
