Chapter Twenty-Three: A Dance in the City, Ghosts and Horrors 3

Emperor Jingxi didn't see it, and took the lead in walking over.

Shen Liuniang withdrew her hand, stunned for a moment. Looking at Emperor Jingxi's tall and straight back, I remembered the feeling of his warm and powerful big hand holding her small hand...... In just a few months, it felt like a memory.

Liu Bai saw that Shen Liuniang was just stunned, so he reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang, keep up, such opportunities don't come often......"

Shen Liuniang thanked Liu Bai: "...... Thank you Lux for the reminder. "Busy keeping up with the emperor's footsteps.

Weiwan carefully brushed the last bit of seasoning, and the corner of her eye saw that everyone stood up, and she didn't care, looking at the roasted venison, she said happily: "I love to eat ribs the most, smelling this fragrance, the gluttonous worms in my stomach have already rebelled." It's unbearable. Don't laugh at my greed, let me cut this first knife first. Pan Zi, bring a knife. ”

Someone handed her a knife from behind her.

Wei Wan took the knife in her hand, and saw that the small knife handle was carved with a simple pattern, which looked old, and the blade was also pitched, not too sharp to look at, and I didn't know if I could cut the meat. I tried to cut the venison, but I didn't expect the blade to bury it in the meat easily. Wei Wan smiled: "What a sharp knife." Pour it like cutting tofu. ”

Someone behind him said: "This knife is the trophy of my sixteen-year-old capture of the Barbarian King, of course it is sharp." ”

When Wei Wan heard this, she was taken aback, and when she turned around, she saw Emperor Jing Xi standing behind her, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Wei Wan subconsciously was busy giving gifts, but she was holding a knife in her hand, and halfway through, the tip of the knife was facing the emperor.

This posture is a great disrespect is light, and if it is heavy, it can be said that she has bad intentions and intends to assassinate the saint.

Weiwan was in a hurry for a while, but she reacted quickly, hurriedly holding a knife in both hands and holding it high above the top. "The concubine didn't know that His Majesty had arrived, and she was extremely rude and terrified." The tone is gentle and sincere, but in my heart I complained about this arbitrary emperor seven or eight times.

Liu Bai is about to come to pick up the knife. Emperor Jingxi stopped him with a wave of his hand. The smile disappeared on Emperor Jingxi's face, and a serious expression spread over that heroic face. He was already extraordinary, and this seriousness was really majestic: "Are you really scared? Why do I think you're wronged? ”

Wei Wan held the knife and felt that her arm was sore, as if the knife weighed a thousand gold and would slip out of her hand at any time. "The concubine doesn't dare to be wronged."

Don't dare again!

"You are wronged. Because you think I'm playing tricks on you. When the emperor came, there should be an attendant to open the way. But I came quietly, so that you would be rude not to notice...... You think it's my fault that you're rude. ”

Wei Wan was originally thinking about what it means for the saint's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed to have changed from "I" to "I"? But when she heard Emperor Jingxi say what she was thinking, she was startled, and couldn't help muttering: "How does Your Majesty know ......?" ”

But he didn't say that he wasn't wronged.

Emperor Jingxi suddenly laughed loudly, personally took the knife in Wei Huan's hand, walked to the roast deer, and smiled at Wei Jiu: "I thought that I hadn't seen Concubine Shu for many days, so I came to see her today, but I caught up with Uncle Nine Emperor roasting deer here." Concubine Shu has always loved to eat this, so I came to disturb Uncle Huang with a few pieces of venison, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, Uncle Huang don't blame me. ”

Wei Jiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and this deer is also Your Majesty's, so why bother with it." ”

A waiter had already taken the feather cushion of the embroidered dragon and placed it on the snow.

Emperor Jing Xi smiled and sat down on the feather cushion. "Bring your knives. Everyone gathers around to eat, it will be lively, and the appetite will be great. No one is allowed to be formal. This time, I'm going to take you to be savages. ”

Since the emperor ordered so, Shen Lang, Weijiu Jiang Shuo and Qingping Wang Shizi, as well as several women, all took out knives and cut the oily and fragrant barbecue according to the emperor's will. Although the emperor said that he wanted to be a savage, who would dare to be presumptuous in front of the saints? Everyone carefully cut the meat and chewed it in small bites, eating it tastelessly.

Only the prince of Qingping, remembering Jiang Shuo's words that the saint would be very powerful if he wielded a knife, couldn't help but secretly look at this cousin.

The prince of Qingping almost never met this cousin who was the emperor, but he only heard that he led troops to fight at the age of sixteen, and at the age of eighteen he was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses...... Seeing that he was tall, strong as a tiger, majestic and handsome, and as imposing as a dragon, the little boy's heart immediately worshipped this emperor's cousin as a god, and his eyes unconsciously showed the light of worship.

However, Wan saw that the concubine, who had always been called by the saint to love roast venison, did not come forward, and the saint who said that he wanted to borrow flowers to offer the Buddha did not seem to find out that his concubine was not there.

Wei Wan swept the wind slightly, and saw Concubine Shu standing a hundred feet away, looking at Emperor Jingxi's back without blinking, both affectionate and miserable.

Wei Wan's heart moved. She had seen Concubine Shen Liuniang in the spring, but she hadn't seen her for more than half a year, Shen Liuniang was more clear than before, and her big apricot eyes looked bigger on her thin face, but she lost her clear and lonely look, revealing a little tiredness and sorrow. The slender figure wearing a crimson cloak, in the snowy dry forest, is so lonely and lonely, mournful.

And Concubine Shu is only sixteen years old after the New Year, which is the age when flowers are beginning to bloom.

remembered that before the Yang family was favored, it was Concubine Shu who was newly married, and Concubine Shu was a favorite saint, looking at this situation, she really took the saint as a lover. The Holy Lord has snubbed her these days, and it must have hit her hard.

But if you live happily, you can't stand the pain of others. She sympathized in her heart, but her face did not show it, she cut a big piece of venison, put it in a sweet white dish, walked up to Shen Liuniang, and said with a smile: "Niangniang tasted the meat roasted by the concubine, it was very tender and fragrant." ”

Shen Liuniang has already returned to normal, and she looks dignified and elegant at this time, how can there be any resentment? "Thank you, Mrs. Chung Yong. It's just that I've eaten too much, and I can't eat it now, so I asked Gong'e to take it back and keep it for the night. ”

Weiwan knew that she was not free in the palace, and she didn't dare to breathe too hard, so how could she dare to say anything in her heart? So he said some cheerful homely gossip, hoping that she would be happy in her heart.

Emperor Jingxi walked over with his hands behind his back, and Wei Wan and Concubine Shu were busy giving gifts.

Emperor Jingxi said gently: "Why don't you go in and use it?" Your brother and sister are here, but they can also have a lively reunion. ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Shen Liuniang's face, and then she smiled and bowed, took the sweet white disk in Wei Wan's hand, and walked towards those who were having a picnic completely according to the dining etiquette.

Wei Wan saluted and wanted to leave after Concubine Shu.

Emperor Jingxi said: "Mrs. Zhongyong stays." ”

Wei Wan had to stop and stand beside the emperor with her eyebrows bowed.

Jingxi just looked at Wei Wan and didn't make a sound.

It was weird and embarrassing to stop people and say nothing, standing like this. The saint's eyes as sharp as eagle's eyes fell on her, as if roasted by the fiery sun, and Wei Wan felt uncomfortable.

Wei Wan wanted to say something to break the strange atmosphere. Shen Liuniang's embarrassed look before leaving left impressed her, and when she was nervous, she opened her mouth and said, "Concubine Shu may not like to eat roast venison." ”

Jing Xi stared at Wei Wan intently, and said lightly: "I said she loved, how dare she not love?" ”
