Chapter Ninety-Six: A Light Proposal
Walking with his head down, Yan Rumeng didn't know where he went, he followed the footsteps in front of him, and a pair of shoes suddenly appeared in front of him, and Yan Rumeng looked up and saw that it was an old woman he didn't know.
"The prince said that after a while, he will eat and drink in the main hall, and don't leave the main hall." The old lady said it very quietly, relying on Yan Rumeng, so even Lu Yiman didn't hear it clearly.
"Like a dream, what did the old lady just say about it? Muttering. ”
"I don't know what to say, and I didn't hear it clearly." Shaking his head, he didn't understand why Zhao Jing'an would explain like this.
After walking for about ten minutes, he finally stopped, and when he looked up at his surroundings, he found that he had arrived at a large square, and on the stairs in front of him, it was the place where the banquet was held tonight.
"Wait a while, ladies will go in turn, don't crowd, so as not to disturb the order."
"Smoke girl, please come here!" A young palace maid stood in front of Yan Rumeng, hunched over and stretched out her hand to point in the direction.
Yan Rumeng was surprised in her heart, how could this palace maid know herself?
Immediately, Zhao Jing'an's words sounded again, and he was relieved.
Following the footsteps, he went up the stairs, his vision gradually widened, and he entered the palace and sat down in the position that had been arranged.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, Yan Rumeng and Lu Yiman's positions are actually together.
Before leaving, the palace maid said: "The girl is sitting here with peace of mind, don't walk around, and when the matter is over, the prince will come over immediately." ”
It turned out that at the beginning of the banquet, women and men ate and drank separately, and when the concubine was chosen, His Majesty would come over, no wonder there were so many empty tables opposite.
Lu Yiman looked at the glittering palace, perhaps contaminated by this red gas, but he didn't feel heavy and luxurious.
"Like a dream, I have seen it today, this palace is really not comparable to the outside." In addition to amazement, there is not the slightest envy.
"However, if I want to live in this kind of place, I don't live there, it looks bulky and old-fashioned, not energetic at all, lifeless." The words became more and more excited, and Yan Rumeng could only cover her mouth in time.
"It's just a matter of saying this kind of thing in private, and now on this occasion, you don't want to die?" Whispered warning.
"Afraid of what? There are just the two of us at the table now. ”
"The wall has ears, don't you know the way? I'm afraid that the speaker is unintentional, and he listens intentionally, and he wants people to grab the handle, so what should I do? You, try not to talk as much as possible, and eat with your head down later. ”
"Don't let people say anything? You can't suffocate to death. He pulled the handkerchief in his hand and frowned.
"Then before you speak, now weigh it in your stomach to see if you can say it, and if you can't say it, I will hold it in my stomach."
"Zhilu Dao." Lu Yiman responded, and he listened to it.
The table where Yan Rumeng sat was right in the middle, which was also in line with Yan Rumeng's mind, and the middle was the least noticeable place.
As time passed, the table was filled one after another.
Since they didn't know each other, they didn't speak at first, but just sat down.
Here, Zhao Jing'an took a carriage into the palace, listened to Zhao An's report, knew that Yan Daoyan had arrived at the palace like a dream, sat down, and also knew that his words had been reached, and his heart was relieved.
After all, it's far away, and even if you want to take care of it, you can't take care of it.
"Zhao An, continue to send someone to keep an eye on it, and inform me immediately if there is any movement."
"Yes, lord." With that, Zhao An disappeared into the corner of the palace.
On the other hand, Zhao Yuxuan, as a child of the royal family, naturally has to participate.
After getting out of the carriage, he was still holding a fan in his hand on a cold day, pretending to fan it, and he was not afraid of freezing.
Zhao Yuxuan walked swaggeringly, and just happened to see Zhao Jingnian coming out of the corner, his eyes glancing, hum!
"Yo, who provoked our Zhao Gongzi? Attending a banquet doesn't have a good face yet. The tone was mocking and sarcastic.
Zhao Yuxuan was silent, intending to walk away.
Zhao Jingnian straightened his sleeves unhurriedly, "I heard that Miss Yan and the girl who wielded the whip that day will also come, I'm afraid it's already in the main hall now, do you want to go and see it?" ”
When it comes to Yan Rumeng and Lu Yiman, Zhao Yuxuan has a fire in his heart, which is his most humiliating experience.
Zhao Yuxuan's footsteps did not stop, there was a "hum" sound in his nasal cavity, and the sound of breathing became heavier, it is conceivable that he must be angry.
Zhao Jingnian saw that his goal had been achieved, and he put his hands behind his back, "Keep an eye on him for me." "I don't know who I'm talking to.
As the big bronze bell rang outside, the banquet officially began, and there was a earth-shattering "crackling" sound outside, and the entire hall began to stagger.
It's just that the one above is shocked, but he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.
Zhao Jingkang came down the whole time, and he had a bitter gourd face, obviously unhappy because he was going to choose a concubine.
And Yan Rumeng here, because she is a woman, she can't drink alcohol, and what she drinks is with nectar and nectar.
It's just about what you do and what you're good at.
Because he wanted to keep a low profile, Yan Rumeng basically didn't speak, and only answered briefly if someone asked.
The crisp and loud sound of music echoed in the main hall, and in the center, the dancing girl was spinning out brilliant mille-feuille flowers with her graceful figure.
It's just that the bronze bell has been thought, but the upper seat is still empty, and the people around him are guessing, but the straight smoke is like a dream, but the bottom of the heart is more and more relaxed.
If you don't come, it's good, you still have to pay homage.
"The concubine has arrived!" A shrill voice sounded in the doorway, and then gorgeous golden clothes appeared by the door.
Hearing the voice, the women who had sat down stood up one after another and said, "The concubine is well!" ”
I waited for a while with a half-bow, and then I heard a majestic voice from above, "Get up." ”
Raised his eyes slightly and looked at the head, is this Zhao Jing'an's mother?
Still so young?
Why doesn't it look like it at all? At that time, the prince of Nakang was very similar to her.
looked next to the concubine, Xiangye's daughter-Zhang Wanru.
Thinking about it immediately, this concubine is her aunt, and she naturally has a noble status and a different status.
Zhang glanced at his head, very satisfied with the daughter who came tonight, "Come here today, do you know why you are here?" ”
"Aren't you here for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?" The next daughter hurriedly replied, and there were several daughters in a row.
"That's right, but," Zhang Qingxuan frowned, "This dance is really boring to watch, ladies have been raised in the boudoir since childhood, I believe that female celebrities, dance and the like must be good, why not take this opportunity to show, show?" ”
Yan Rumeng heard it, and his heart "chuckled", his heart was not good, so don't you have to go up to perform later?
