Chapter 21: The Annual Banquet (3)

As soon as Zhao Rui came out of the hall, he saw that the crimson corner was hidden in the night not far away, so he lifted his heel and went up.

didn't go far, Ye Jinqing found Zhao Rui behind him. She was secretly anxious in her heart, she didn't want to run into her senior brother at this time, but the senior brother in this palace was more familiar than her, what should she do.

Ye Jinqing walked a few steps forward quickly, and just after a corner, Ye Jinqing hid in the bushes next to him, bent his waist, and held his breath.

Looking at the pair of bright yellow shoes in front of him going farther and farther, Ye Jinqing cated in the bushes for a while, and just wanted to come out, there was another pair of delicate embroidered shoes with Nanzhu in front of him. The embroidered shoes were circling around here, and the owner of the embroidered shoes had lost his way and did not know where to go.

Seeing that the embroidered shoes just didn't leave his sight, Ye Jinqing was secretly anxious, his heart was horizontal, he shrank his body, and moved to the dense bushes behind him.

Su Zhenyi was in a hurry to find Zhao Rui's figure, but Mo listened to the sound of Suo Suo coming from the bushes beside him.

At her daughter's house, in this night, alone, and all around her was dim, Su Zhenyi's expression suddenly tightened. He covered his mouth with a sleeveband, afraid that he would exclaim and really attract something. Then he slowly turned back to the way he had come.

This forest is much bigger than Ye Jinqing imagined, in the cold winter, Ye Jinqing has no intention of looking for Su Xuan, she just wants to get out of this broken forest, afraid that Shen Li and others will be in a hurry, and her hands and feet will be cold. There was no light around, only a faint moonlight shining through the leaves into the woods. Ye Jinqing was really a little scared at this time, although she was bolder, but she walked alone in this forest for a long time, the leaves were rustling by the wind, and even the moonlight was intermittently shining in, and there was an autumn leaf pile under her feet, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Ye Jinqing's mind couldn't help but think of the book "Strange Things in the Southern Dynasties" that he saw in his father's study, which depicted strange things that were circulated among the people.

At this moment, she regretted that the books she read on weekdays were too miscellaneous, and she knew that she should have listened to her mother's words and not read this miscellaneous book. Daddy too, a good study, why put some of these books.

Sighing heavily, Ye Jinqing put his frozen hands between his mouth and nose and sighed. Finally, my hands warmed up a little, and I put my hands on my cold little face.

Finally regaining some of his spirit, Ye Jinqing took a few steps forward, and was pleased to see a faint light in the distance.

Looking at the end of the forest, a palace is quite magnificent, but only a few palace lamps are scattered to meet the scene. There are not many palace people who keep vigil outside the palace gate.

After thinking about it, Ye Jinqing still planned to avoid those palace people and leave secretly. Ye Jinqing stuffed the jade ring beads on his body into his clothes, and then saw an opportunity, ran out of the woods, and hid in a small dark corner between the colonnades.

As soon as he settled down, he heard a low conversation behind him, Ye Jinqing pursed his lips with a bitter face, and looked at a few palace people who were keeping vigil in front of him, and the conversation behind him was getting closer and closer.

Ye Jinqing lifted his breath, moved out of the darkness a little, leaned forward, listened to the movement in the room with his ears pricked up, and after making sure that there was no one, he gently opened a small crack in the door of the palace, just enough for his body to enter, and then gently closed the door again.

The rooms in the house are very dim, but judging from the layout and furnishings, it should be a vacant side hall. Ye Jinqing rubbed his sore calves, thinking if he could be careful to pass through this palace from this side hall. This is all over the place, and she is really about to walk out of this palace.

"Mother, did you really decide to do that?"

Suddenly, I heard a voice from a room next to me. Ye Jinqing was no longer nervous when she first entered the hall, but she was more careful to lighten her steps, she had already recognized the way out of the hall.

The layout of this kind of palace is actually very simple, as long as you figure out the main hall and the secondary hall, it is easy to get out. It turned out that she had accidentally broken into a certain concubine's palace, and at this time she didn't want to find out which concubine's palace it was, so she didn't stop.

"I didn't say anything to Qingyuan, I would arrange for his wife and daughter to go out of the city, but who can say what will happen after they leave the city."

A leisurely female voice sounded, obviously a gentle voice, but the content of what was said made Ye Jinqing feel like falling into an ice cellar. Her worries are not wrong, it is really the current emperor who wants to do something to the Ye family, is it for the Ye family's book collection.

After hearing those words, Ye Jinqing stopped, and tried his best to control his figure, afraid that he would be exposed because of the palpitation of his mind at this time.

Inside the house, a woman in her fifties dressed as a grandmother looked at the woman sitting on the kang and said.

"Niangniang, you are going to break yourself off from the Ye family like this." The queen, who had already taken off her phoenix robe and changed into more comfortable home clothes, looked a little different from the banquet. If the woman at the banquet showed the grace and luxury of the queen, the woman on the kang at this moment was more like an ordinary little woman.

"Nuan Yu, from the time I insisted on marrying him, my identity as a member of the Ye family has come to an end. Nuan Yu, I'm selfish. I thought that decades of life like a cold palace had smoothed out my temperament. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly, "Although I, Ye Xinlan, have abandoned my surname, but the infatuation in the Ye family's bones, I have not thrown away any of them." The bitter smile on the corner of Ye Xinlan's mouth gradually rose, and the smile became more arrogant. He ascended to this throne because of me, so who will sit on the dragon chair next cannot be decided by him alone. So, I can't take out all of my cards because of Qingyuan. After hearing these words, Ye Jinqing's mind was very confused, but she knew that she had to return to her mother as soon as possible. As soon as he got out of the hall and walked a little farther away, Ye Jinqing began to run.

She could barely open her eyes in the cold wind, she squinted hard, and ran towards the place where the palace banquet was.

Suddenly, she stopped and saw a group of people carrying lanterns on the other side of the road. After seeing it clearly, Ye Jinqing was almost stunned, and it was Shen Li who was surrounded in the middle.

Looking at this direction, Shen Li was actually going to the queen's palace. In a hurry, Ye Jinqing wanted to open her mouth to call her mother. But as soon as she opened her mouth, a pair of knotted hands reached out from behind her and covered her mouth tightly.

Ye Jinqing's mind was clouded, and there was a huge horror in those eyes that were already smart, and the eyelashes that were as dense as a feather fan on the covered eyes were shaking uneasily. Almost subconsciously, she opened her small mouth, bit the hand that covered her mouth, and struggled with all her strength.

The hand holding Ye Jinqing first shrank unconsciously, and the man's eyebrows also wrinkled unconsciously. But after the hand shrank for a moment, he held Ye Jinqing tightly with more domineering strength, so that Ye Jinqing had to let go. While struggling, Ye Jinqing felt a slender body behind her cover her, imprisoning her whole body under that body.
