Chapter 45: Why don't you kneel
A few days passed, and Jun Mowen returned home with the will they had already expected. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Si Jichen didn't look at the bright yellow holy decree carefully, and said that the imperial doctor had diagnosed her and her body was fine, so he invited her to the palace to participate in the banquet.
Today is the day to enter the palace to attend the banquet.
The majestic palace wall made of blue bricks stands quietly, separating the two worlds inside and outside the palace. It's just a wall away, but it's so far that people on both sides can't reach it.
The neat table, the precious rosewood, the delicate carved amber cups, and the palace maids with good faces took small steps, shuttling between the high-ranking officials and ladies attending the banquet, and took a series of delicious dishes with cumbersome workmanship.
This is a banquet in the palace, the wine is the best wine from all over the world, the clothes are the most luxurious and complicated style, but the hearts of the people are cold.
Si Jichen walked into the banquet with Jun Mowen, and the plain white of his body made everyone who greeted him stop in shock, who in the palace dares to wear such an inauspicious color on a festive day, is this the disciple of the ghost doctor? Was she too bold to care, or too ignorant.
Even Jun Mowen, who was on the side, became the focus of everyone's attention.
The two of them were unaware of the complicated gaze around them, and said to the side of Si Jichen; "Are you in a bad mood?"
glanced at the dishes and fruits on the table; "If you don't like it, I'll ask someone to change it."
Si Jichen shook his head; "No, it's just that this banquet is too good, the wine of the daughter, the rare dishes, heh."
She smiled wryly and looked at the empty chair at the top; "Those who own the world only know pleasure, but do not know how to treat the world well. This won't ......last long," the words were intercepted by a wine glass, and Jun Mowen pressed the amber wine glass to her lips.
"There are so many eyes and ears here, bear with me."
The strong aroma of the wine rushed into his nose, and Si Jichen took a sip of the pure wine with his hand.
"You." Jun Mo smelled funny, but there was warmth in his eyes.
This time, Xu Baizhi was also present, and the expressions of the people present caught in his eyes, and when he saw the snow-white figure of Si Jichen, he was stunned.
At this time, the eyes were also raised, and they followed his paused gaze.
The two looked at each other slightly and looked away, even if someone bumped into it, it was only an unintentional coincidence.
……
"The emperor has arrived."
With a shrill report from the eunuch.
Surrounded by everyone, the emperor stepped on the bluestone steps and walked step by step to the seat on the high platform.
This is the emperor, high up, but no one can stand side by side.
Si Jichen looked at his eyebrows carefully, this is the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Jun Mowen...... Father.
Thinking of this, her cold gaze was fixed on the emperor. For Si Jichen, who has been an orphan since he was a child, the word father is undoubtedly an unfamiliar word.
When the emperor sat down, he waved his hand to signal that everyone did not need to be polite, and the people in the audience would sit down.
The emperor had a pair of fierce eyes, somewhat similar to the eldest prince, his gaze swept over, and the handmaid who was standing next to Si Jichen and added wine trembled, and a few drops of wine splashed on Si Jichen's snow-white sleeves.
Those eyes were deep; "Come on, drag this palace maid out for me."
This sentence determined the life and death of the palace maid.
The two guards stepped forward at the order and held up the palace maid who was still trembling.
Sijichen frowned, and when he wanted to get up, he was stopped by the gentleman on the side, and shook his head at her secretly.
The palace maid hung her head, and her delicate little face was pale and gray. At this moment, her arm was grabbed by a slightly cool hand.
The old emperor saw these in his eyes, and his eyes fell on Si Jichen, who was holding the palace maid.
"You're just thinking about it?"
"The people's daughter has seen the emperor." Saying this, Si Jichen didn't mean to kneel down and salute at all.
The emperor's voice sank a little more, and the person who was pressed was out of breath, vaguely mixed with majestic anger;
"Since you know that it's a folk girl, why don't you kneel when you see me?!"
