Chapter 161: Drunk on a Rainy Night
At this time, Shenyue Cangting coughed, "There are many happy events tonight, with this beautiful day, I hope that the envoys of Qi can also enjoy themselves." Next, let's watch the performance that Tianyang Kingdom has carefully prepared for you. ”
When everyone heard this, they also echoed, Shenyue Haoqing nodded, and then pulled Li Anyue to the seat, and did not let go of Li Anyue's hand until the end of the banquet, which made Li Anyue feel both warm and helpless. In addition, I also felt that several pairs of eyes always fell on her at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally, but when I turned my head to look for it, I didn't find it, so I didn't think about it anymore.
While the song and dance were starting, Shenyue Haoqing attached himself to Li Anyue's ear and asked, "Are your feet okay?" ”
Li Anyue looked at him in surprise, "Lord Wang, how do you know?" ”
"I happened to see it, but I couldn't stop it."
Li Anyue shook his head, "It's no big deal, don't worry about the prince." ”
"That's good, you should be more careful yourself, try not to take care of Huo Dong, he is not a good stubble."
"yes, I see."
In the sound of music one after another, the words of the two are naturally impossible for others to hear, and in their opinion, they are just a manifestation of the intimacy of the two. Shenyue Haotian didn't say a word, just drank the wine silently, and by the end of the banquet, his eyes were already a little wandering.
This banquet didn't end until it was almost time, and Shenyue Haoqing had to send Li Anyue back to Changxin Palace, and only left with confidence after watching her walk in. When Li Anyue walked into the Liuhua Palace, Xianglan and Zuiyue, who were about to fall asleep in the room, stayed for a long time when they saw the strange Li Anyue coming in, before they stammered and asked, "You are the county lord?" ”
Li Anyue burst out laughing, her bright smile shining in the candlelight, "What do you say, otherwise who else could I be?" ”
Xianglan and Zuiyue ran over and circled around Li Anyue in surprise, "County Lord, is this your true appearance?" You can't be lying to us all along, are you? ”
"Also, county lord, someone just came out of the banquet that the emperor has given you and the prince a marriage, is this true?"
Li Anyue was disturbed by them and had no choice, so she interrupted them loudly, "Okay! I've been tired all day, can you go and fetch water for me to take a shower first? ”
When the two of them heard this, they reacted and stopped talking, Xianglan hurriedly went to fetch water, and Zuiyue stayed behind to help Li Anyue change out of this heavy clothes. Although Li Anyue tried her best to ask herself to come to the shower and change clothes, the two still said that they must fulfill their responsibilities for various reasons, and Li Anyue had no choice but to let them go.
"Ah, it's so comfortable!" Li Anyue was lying in the bathtub, the hot water covered her whole body, the petals floated on the water, exuding a slight fragrance, and she felt that her nerves were relaxed a lot, so she let Xianglan and Zuiyue wipe their bodies for themselves.
"The county lord is so beautiful!" Zuiyue looked at Li Anyue, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, and said enviously, "If the slave is a man, she will definitely fight to marry the county lord." ”
Li Anyue looked at her with half-open eyes, "The sexual orientation of this county lord is male, don't think about it when you are drunk." ”
Xianglan also teased, "If Drunken Moon is a man, you may not even have a chance to meet the county lord." ”
Zuiyue pouted aggrievedly, "Xianglan, you will laugh at me!" ”
Li Anyue closed her eyes again, listening to the two bickering back and forth, it was also funny, and slowly relaxed her whole body, and when she was about to fall asleep, she was rejuvenated by Xianglan's exclamation, "Ah! Lord, you have ...... on your arm."
Li Anyue opened her eyes and glanced at her arm, "It's nothing, it's just a birthmark." Okay, bring me a dry towel, soak your skin until it's wrinkled. ”
Although Xianglan had something to say in her heart, she couldn't think of it for a while, so she had to bring a towel to Li Anyue to dry the water on her body and change into clean pajamas. Zuiyue squatted down to dry Li Anyue's feet, but suddenly exclaimed, Li Anyue frowned, "What's wrong?" ”
"County Lord, what's wrong with your ankle? It's red and swollen, isn't it who is too hot? ”
Li Anyue lowered her head and looked at her right ankle, thinking that compared to the white complexion of other places, the right ankle did look red and swollen, thinking that it was caused by a tingling pain at the banquet, but at that time, she didn't tell the truth when Shenyue Haoqing asked, at this time, she didn't feel that it hurt the bones, just a little surface injury, so she said softly, "It's okay, just help me get some Xue Youjin to reduce the swelling later, don't tell others about it." ”
"Yes, the slave knows." Zuiyue nodded understandingly.
After cleaning up for a while, the two waited for Li Anyue to fall asleep. Li Anyue was indeed tired, and soon fell asleep as soon as she got on the bed. Xianglan blew out the candles in the house, closed the door and walked out with Drunken Yue, and the room fell into silence again, only the sound of Li Anyue's peaceful breathing.
When the two walked back to the room, Xianglan still kept thinking about something, and Zuiyue called her several times but she didn't respond, and finally pushed her hard, "Xianglan, what's wrong with you?" Why do you think so distractedly? ”
"Drunken Moon, have you seen the birthmark on the county lord's hand?"
Zuiyue shook her head, "No, I was combing the county lord's hair straight at the time." ”
"I can see clearly, it's six plum petals."
"Plum blossoms, aren't they usually five-petaled, pandan, are you mistaken?"
Xianglan shook her head and said firmly, "No, I thought it looked good, but I looked carefully, and the plum blossom in the middle was still the stamen." ”
Zuiyue thought for a while, "Then is there anything else about this birthmark besides being special?" ”
"Have you forgotten the rumor of the goddess who went viral in the womb a while ago? The goddess also has a plum blossom mark on her arm! ”
Zuiyue reacted and widened her eyes, "Are you saying that our county lord is also the reincarnation of a goddess?" But...... So, what about Concubine Li? ”
Xianglan hurriedly covered her mouth, "Shhh Don't talk nonsense, this is just my guess, and it won't be good to invite trouble when the time comes, you know? ”
Zuiyue also quickly covered her mouth and nodded vigorously. The two of them blew out the candles in the house, kept their eyes open in the dark, and did not fall asleep for a long time. Not only them, but also people who had no sleep in the night, but also people in another mansion outside the palace.
When Shenyue Haotian returned to the mansion, his steps were already a little staggering, but he shook off Qin Shiyu's hand holding him and walked to the study with a stagger. Qin Shiyu stomped her feet in annoyance and walked back to the room. Lin Lin looked at the two people who were going in different directions, but she didn't understand what was going on, she just felt that the prince's mood seemed to be very low tonight, but she didn't know what it was for, so she had to go back to the house.
Shenyue Haotian entered the study, Wuxin had already been waiting inside, and as soon as he came in, Wuxin poured him the tea that had been brewed. Shenyue Haotian reluctantly sat down at the table, but instead of drinking tea, he asked him directly, "How is the matter investigated?" ”
Wuxin handed over the two picture scrolls, "This is the portrait of the young man that his subordinates got from asking the owner of the inn where the young man stayed, and the portrait of the woman in the same costume who used to appear in the inn according to the portrait of the woman given by His Highness." ”
Shenyue Haotian took the portrait, hesitated for a while, or decided to unfold the portrait, two portraits, a man and a woman, although the style is slightly different, but a careful comparison can still see that the two are extremely similar in appearance.
"Your Highness, in this way, is it true that the young man who saved His Highness is actually a woman?"
Shenyue Haotian frowned and stared at the two similar faces on the portrait, Li Anyue's face gradually appeared in his mind, the hand holding the portrait couldn't help but increase his strength, scratched obvious folds on the paper, and didn't speak, Shenyue Haotian reluctantly said after a while, "Okay, it's okay, this matter is over, you can retreat first." ”
Wuxin looked at him with some doubts, looked at the portrait again, and finally nodded silently without saying a word and withdrew. After going out unintentionally, Shenyue Haotian took the candle and burned the two portraits on the table together.
He burst out laughing at the flickering firelight, but only briefly, and soon his eyes drooped. It turned out that the person he had been looking for was close at hand, but he only found out now, and that person was ready to marry a wife.
Shenyue Haotian took a pot of wine, picked it up and swayed it towards the garden. The clouds were very thick tonight, and slowly there were big drops of rain falling, but Shenyue Haotian walked towards the pavilion while drinking wine as if he hadn't noticed anything, but was pulled by a pair of hands.
Shenyue Haotian turned back with his eyes a little confused, and saw Lin Lin standing there, Lin Lin frowned as he looked at his drunken appearance, "Your Highness, you are drunk, go back and rest." ”
It turned out that Lin Lin was going to go to the study to see what was wrong with him, but when she walked to the study, Shenyue Haotian had already gone out with a wine jug, the door of the study was open, and there were still ashes of the portrait on the ground.
Shenyue Haotian smiled, shook off her hand, and continued to raise her head and drink. The rain was dripping on his head, but it didn't say anything about making him sober, or that he himself didn't want to be sober. Lin Lin stretched out his hand to shield him from the raindrops, and helped him walk towards the room, "Your Highness, it's already raining, you better go back to the room and rest!" ”
Shenyue Haotian still ignored her, let her pull, and put the center of gravity of his body on her, Lin Lin could only hang his arm around his neck, and staggered to help him walk towards the house.
