As soon as the saint's words came out, both of them were stunned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two people, who had turned a blind eye to the whole banquet, finally glanced at each other this time, and then said loudly in tacit understanding: "No! β
The saint raised his eyebrows, displeased with suspicion, "What did you say?" β
Everyone here looked at the two of them like a good show, and the pair of mandarin ducks ordered by the saint can be described as a good match, talented and beautiful, but the two of them refused, there must be a big story.
Jing Ci and Xiao Ping glanced at each other again, and just as they were about to speak, another voice sounded......
"The saint forgives his sins-" Xiao Zhizhong, who was sitting on the seat, stood up and looked loyal, "The dog has a marriage contract, I'm afraid I won't be blessed to marry the Yang girl." The sage didn't know that a few years ago, Weichen went to the Yingguo Mansion to propose marriage, and the marriage of the two families of Xiao Zong had been decided. Please forgive the saintsβ"
The Duke of Yingguo in Xiao Zhizhong's mouth is a guest of Zong Chu, and today Zong Chuke has not entered the palace for a banquet, whether Xiao Zhizhong is talking nonsense or not, only he knows.
"That's ......," the saint muttered, "It's a pity that the pair of beautiful people in front of me ......"
"Sage, Shiro of the Prime Minister hasn't married yet, so it's better to ...... Forget about Zheng Guogong's youngest daughter to Shiro. The queen on the side smiled.
The saint looked at Li Longfan, and the fourth son of his imperial brother is now also dignified, "En-"
Li Longfan stood up when he heard this, his expression was quite aggrieved, why did he suddenly pull it on him again.
Jing Ci was even more bitter in her heart, and she even doubted whether the eldest sister knew that the saint and the queen loved the mandarin ducks, so she let her enter the palace so that she could marry her.
"Sage, Niangniang-" Cui Lu finally spoke, and said without changing her face: "Niangniang said a few days ago, if Weichen likes a lady, although she said to Niangniang, Niangniang will be a matchmaker for Weichen's marriage. Now that the wishful beauty is in front of us, Weichen can't miss it. β
The queen is a smart person and understands what Cui Lu is referring to.
"Oh-," the queen chuckled, "you young men...... she shook her head helplessly, "I don't care, you do what you like." β
The Holy Lord also waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and continue the feast.
Jing Ci breathed a sigh of relief, it would be no good to enter the palace, and he would say that he would not enter the palace next time.
The melodious sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the palace performers in dance clothes waved their long sleeves, shocked, and the table was staggered, and began to talk and laugh again.
In the blink of an eye, this banquet has lasted for nearly two hours, and everything in front of her is very smoky in Jing Ci, and while people are not paying attention, she quietly leaves the table and goes out to breathe.
The cloister surrounds the vast Taiye Pool, and Jing Ci walks all the way down the cloister. It was only when she reached a place where the voices gradually diminished that she stopped and looked at the beautiful scenery in the pool.
The Taiye Pond is as wide as the river, but it is different from the Qujiang River in the south of the city. Taiye Pond is noble and prosperous, carefully cared for, and the Qujiang River is boundless, which is a vast natural beauty.
After standing for a moment, Jing Ci turned around, and unexpectedly a woman was walking from where she came, and the two inadvertently glanced at each other.
"Jing Ci." Chen Huan'er couldn't help but call.
Jing Ci didn't want to pay attention to her, but she quickened her pace and stepped forward, "Jing Ci hasn't changed at all, I don't like the scene of drunken dreams and death." β
Jing Ci raised his steps and wanted to leave, but Chen Huan'er said in a light tone: "Do we have to be like this?" β
"You and I are already strangers, what else is there to say?"
Chen Huan'er turned to Jing Ci and looked at her eyes in a daze, "Our friendship for more than ten years has been profitable, why can't we let go of the damage that has been caused and cherish the present?" β
"Relieved?" Jing Ci sneered, "Let me be relieved of the enemy who killed my father?" Relief for someone who treats me as a confidant but turns his back on morality? For me, I desperately want to save the person who hurt Xiao An for my selfishness? β
Chen Huan'er, who was looking at Jing Ci, gradually looked away, not daring to continue to look at her directly, and after a while, Chen Huan'er said softly, "Right must be right, wrong must be wrong?" β
"Although my uncle is on the Queen's party, is it wrong for him to vigorously praise the loyal ministers at the banquet? Is what you think morality to be right? Do you dare to say that it will never hurt anyone? β
Xiao Zhizhong's actions saved a counselor from punishment, which was a just act. What is the criterion of right and wrong? The Master can't decide it, and neither can the Son of Heaven.
Jing Ci didn't say a word, silently bypassed her, and left directly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
She was about to walk back to her seat, but as she was on the way, a strong arm took her around her waist and grabbed her by the hand.
It was too late to see the face of the sneak attacker, but Jing Ci did not struggle, she was very familiar with Cui Lu's embrace and breath.
Jing Ci raised her mouth while looking at the face of the person holding her, "Aren't you afraid that the Holy Lord will see his close ministers leaving their posts in the palace without permission?" β
"When I saw it, I said that we were in love, and asked for marriage by the way." Cui Luo hooked the corners of his mouth, and his face was quite evil.
"Think ...... beautiful"
Cui Lu looked down at her with a smile, "Isn't it?" β
Jing Ci didn't bother to pay attention to him who could speak well, and the streamer that turned under her eyes showed her good mood.
The two held hands and walked slowly out of the corridor and in the other direction. The neighborhood is full of pavilions and pavilions, and not far away are the splendid palaces, and Jing Ci can't tell the way.
"Where are we going?"
"Seeing that you have little appetite and are very uncomfortable," Cui Lu's tone was serious, "So...... Take you to eat. β
"Where to eat? What to eat? When it comes to eating, Jing Ci is not curious, she is not greedy for delicious food, but for freshness.
The two walked to a place where there were few people, Cui Lu looked left and right, and then grabbed her waist, kicked her legs, and jumped towards the top of the hall with wind on the soles of her feet.
Jing Ci was hugged by Cui Lu in her arms and walked on the top of the palace, she looked down at the palace walking at her feet, she felt very funny, and then looked up into the distance, the splendid Daming Palace was really endless.
After a while, Cui Lu stopped on the roof of a hall and looked down at the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going, which was the place to cook the emperor's imperial meal.
"You're waiting for me here." He placed her in a hidden corner at the top of the temple and landed on the ground.
The palace maids and eunuchs on the ground were stunned when they saw that they were the biggest officials in their own department, thinking that they had seen it wrong, and the squire was not accompanied by him, how could he appear in such a place? When everyone came back to their senses, they all bowed, and many of them were emotionally excited palace maids, "Meet the waiter-"
"Get up," Cui Rui's face was expressionless, "Today, the Holy Lord is feasting in the Taiye Pool, and I'll come to see what kind of wine and food you have prepared." β
"Yesβ" The crowd got up and made way for him.
Two eunuchs led the way in front and welcomed Cui Lu into the huge kitchen, the eunuch introduced the dishes in front, Cui Lu nodded as he walked, looked around, and Cui Luo raised his head to signal to go out. The two eunuchs smiled and opened the way for them in front, and Cui Lu strode out of the door with his hands in his hands, "Very good, let's go with your business." β
"Yesβ" The two eunuchs withdrew.
Cui Lu took his hands, jumped on the roof with a few kicks on his vigorous legs, and each of his two hands behind his back held a tray, and there were four or five dishes on each tray.
His words and deeds were all in his eyes, quite incredible, "Tut-tut, you still have this kind of kung fu." She reached out and picked up a piece of golden snack, chewed and nodded, "If you don't become an official or a businessman one day, it will be a good way to live as a thief." β
Cui Lu's expression, which had been expressionless, finally softened, and chuckled: "No matter what you do, I have to feed you first." β
