Chapter 10: The Banquet (1)
As soon as the cat heard this, she knew that she had guessed correctly, but she still pretended to be confused and said, "What else can you do, didn't you say that you came to perform." I can't figure it out www.biquge.info she doesn't want to see me on weekdays. Listen to my brothers, don't say it, even she is impatient when they mention my name on weekdays. Today, they will actually call me to perform, I guess the sun is coming out in the west. ”
Luo Ene smiled and shook his head: "If it were usual, she would naturally not summon you." The Queen Mother has always liked to be quiet, except for a few juniors she particularly likes, that is, her own princes and princesses, if it is not for the daily morning and dusk provinces, they usually don't see each other. This time, it was my father who summoned you to the palace by divine decree. ”
The cat suddenly realized: "Ah, I see." ”
"Well, so don't be mad about this."
After hearing this, the cat waved her hand again and again: "No, no, I'm not angry about this." How dare I. "And the truth is: I wish she had done this to me, so that I don't have to get up early in the morning to kneel down to her like my brother.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, it's more real than pearls!" The cat spoke very earnestly.
Luo Ene nodded, as if convinced: "That's good." However, why don't you ask your father why he specially summoned you to perform this time? You wouldn't have been so calm before. ”
Since the cat had just met those young ladies, she had determined her original guess in her heart eight or nine points, so she deliberately didn't ask just now, originally wanting to skip this topic. There are some things that can be done without piercing that layer of window paper, and the results will be very different. Put it in your heart, you know each other, but you come freely. But apparently some people didn't agree with her approach, so she just continued to pretend to be stupid: "Hey, why? ”
Luo Ene silently observed her reaction, and saw that she deliberately avoided it, and she was not reluctant, and her voice changed: "Actually, I don't know very well, and I will naturally know when I go to Chuxiu Palace later." ”
The cat let out a "hmm", but at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Forgive her for wanting to be a shrunken turtle, she just didn't want to break the peace in front of her, even though it seemed to be coming to an end.
Luo Ene glanced at the direction of Chuxiu Palace, turned back to the cat and said, "Let's go, it's almost time for the birthday banquet to start." ”
"Yes"
So the two of them walked silently towards Chuxiu Palace one after the other.
Just after walking a few steps, the cat suddenly paused: "Wait a minute! ”
Luo Ene was originally walking behind her, but after she paused, she didn't have time to stop her steps, and her body slammed straight up. Before he had time to think about anything else, he quickly reached out and hugged the cat's body that was leaning forward by him. Suddenly, I felt a faint fragrance coming to my nose. It's just that he didn't have the heart to lose his mind at this moment, and after the two of them stood firm, Luo Ene let go of her, with a rare layer of sternness in his eyes, and he was full of disapproval and reprimanded softly: "What's the matter?" It's restless to walk. This rampage, no matter when the personality before and after can be changed. If I hadn't made a quick shot just now, you wouldn't know what you'd have fallen like by now. ”
The cat was not frightened by his look, but just smiled, withdrew from his arms without a trace, and whispered a little aggrievedly: "I didn't mean to, who let you follow so closely." ”
Hearing her words, Luo Ene really couldn't cry or laugh: "What do you mean or is it my fault?" Although it sounds like a rhetorical question of disapproval, there is a clear trace of helplessness and pampering in the tone.
"I didn't say that. Oops, okay, I got it! I'll be careful when I walk in the future. You go first, and I'll go over later. ”
Roene naturally understood her thoughts. If they had gone in together, the people inside might have thought of them. Although it doesn't matter what other people think, but today is the birthday of the Queen Mother after all, if you can follow her, more things are better than less, so that when the cat enters the palace in the future, the contradiction between the grandparents and grandchildren can also be smaller. So he nodded and walked first.
As for the cats, they went in the other direction. The reason why she didn't go with Roene, in addition to the fact that she didn't want to be the attention of thousands of people, was that she had just found out that Zijuan hadn't followed her since she didn't know when, and she had to find out. She knew that Zijuan was a personal guard specially arranged for him by Amma, and he would do a little kung fu, and ordinary people would not be her opponents, plus today was the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the guards in the palace must have strengthened a lot, so she was not worried that Zijuan would have an accident, but because of this, she was even more uneasy in her heart.
The cat wandered outside for a while, but did not find the figure of Zijuan, and was afraid that delaying the matter of going to Chuxiu Palace would cause unnecessary trouble after a long time, so he had to give up the idea of looking for it first. When she arrived at Chuxiu Palace, the birthday banquet had already begun for a while.
She knew how much the Queen Mother didn't want to see herself, so naturally there was no need to take the initiative to ask for guilt in order to be late. Silently, the palace maid who led her to her own position and sat down. Fortunately, her seat was arranged in the second row closer to the door, and at this time, everyone's attention was attracted by the singing and dancing in the field, so no one noticed her. After sitting down, the cat seemed a little absent-minded, where would the girl go to Zijuan, why didn't she even say hello. And all this secretly fell into the eyes of the two people opposite. One is Luo Ene, and the other is Wang Ziqian, the eldest son of Wang Mang, the left minister.
As if he sensed that there was another line of sight in the field that fell in the same place as himself, Luo Ene looked in the direction of that line of sight, and an undercurrent flashed in his calm eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
Wang Ziqian naturally felt Luo Ene's gaze, turned his head and smiled faintly at him, raised the flower brew in the cup and made a toast to Luo Ene, and drank the wine in the cup without waiting for Luo Ene to respond.
Luo Ene's expression was faint, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, but he seemed to ignore Wang Ziqian's actions.
The cat sat in his seat, bored, with a pair of big round eyes constantly looking at everyone present, and after a while, as if he felt that the veil was too much of a hindrance, he removed one side of the veil, revealing a face with delicate facial features, and the little red dots on the face were still there, but they were lighter than when they first got up in the morning. Then Yin Tao's small mouth kept eating the food on the table, and her cheeks were stuffed with her favorite food, and her appearance was very cute. Kindness...... The palace is worthy of being a royal palace, everything is the best, even the fruit is especially sweet.
Luo Ene looked at her with a satisfied face, her eyes were full of pampering, and the haze that had just been born in her heart because of someone disappeared in an instant, leaving only the joy in her heart. With a smile on his lips, he only heard him say in a low voice: "Snack goods." ”
And the cat over there, naturally, didn't have time to notice him. At this time, in addition to the delicacies paid by foreign vassals in front of her, there are also those glamorous dancers dancing exotic dances in the field, although they can't see the faces hidden under the white veil, but judging from their exposed snow-like skin and graceful dancing, they should all have a world-class appearance. Look at the men opposite, although they are trying their best to hide it, the **** under their eyes is still unobstructed. The cat shook her head with a look of pity. Alas, there are probably no lustful men in this world! Thinking of this, she suddenly looked up in the direction of Roene, but just collided with his gaze. I saw that his eyes were clear, as clear as a spring water in a mountain stream, clean and transparent. Well, perhaps, there is still a less lustful man in this world. (The cat doesn't know that her current perception will be overturned by herself in the near future.) )
Halfway through the feast, the cat noticed that Zijuan had finally appeared behind her.
"Hey, Zijuan, where did you just run?"
Zijuan's face was slightly red, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Uh...... The slave maid just went to relieve herself, and when she came back, she didn't see the county lord and didn't know where to look for you, so she got lost while walking. happened to be touched by the guard next to the fifth prince, so he brought the slave and maid in. ”
The cat was a little surprised: "His guards? Do you mean obsidian? ”
"Uh...... I guess so. ”
Seeing her spitting appearance, the cat was even more puzzled: "Hasn't he been following the Fifth Prince all the time, how could he meet you?" ”
"Well...... This one...... The slave and maid didn't know. It's just that the slave maid occasionally saw him in the palace once before, and he was by the side of the five princes at that time, and it seemed that the five princes were very important, so the slave didn't ask much, and came with him directly. ”
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with the cat hearing her say this, thinking that she should be too worried. She and Luo Ene were separated for a while, and I thought that Obsidian should have been away for a while at that time, and just happened to run into Zijuan who was lost. Obsidian is the closest secret guard by Luo Ene's side, and Luo Ene is close to himself and his brother, and it is not impossible to accidentally see Zijuan between them, thinking about it this way, the uneasiness in my heart is really less. It's just that seeing that her face is still unnaturally red, she can't help but worry: "Then why is your face so red, is there any discomfort?" ”
Zijuan also felt dizzy and hot at this time, feeling that her cheeks were very hot, thinking that she had just walked very fast because she was worried about the county lord, and it was normal to think that such symptoms were normal, so she didn't think much about it, but just told the cat what she thought in her heart.
After hearing her words, the cat also felt reasonable, so she just gently instructed: "Hmm...... All right. If you're not feeling well for a while, just let me know? ”
"Yes, the slave knows."
So the two turned their heads to enjoy the song and dance again.
After a while, I heard Zijuan leaning over and whispering in his ear: "By the way, did you just perform?"
"Performance?" The cat looked inexplicable, "What are you performing?" ”
When Zijuan heard this, she stopped making a sound. It's just a crazy cry in my heart: "What a performance, of course it's a performance!" Do you dare to sit here for half a day in the palace just to watch other ladies perform their talents! ”
