(131) Wanhua River Lantern Afterimage (25)

When Huizhong heard this, he looked at Li Dai next to him excitedly, "Brother Huang agrees with me......"

"It's your royal brother who made it for you." He Muxin interrupted Huizhong's words quietly, and as soon as he raised his hand, the little eunuch next to him respectfully presented the two wooden boxes, "There is also a piece of clothing made by this palace for you, and I have selected your favorite color and style." ”

Emperor Qi and Empress Qi did it himself, and this gift was not unimportant, but Huizhong didn't seem to be very happy, but a little lacking in interest.

"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law." Huizhong asked the personal palace maid behind him to take the congratulatory gift, "Huizhong likes it very much." ”

He Muxin patted the back of Huizhong's hand lovingly, and said with a benevolent smile, "Huizhong is my treasure in the palm of Daqi, and your imperial brother and sister-in-law will definitely give you the best things of Daqi." ”

Huizhong had a little tears in her eyes, lowered her eyes slightly, and she nodded lightly, "Huizhong knows that the imperial brother and sister-in-law are good, but please relax the imperial brother and sister-in-law, don't affect your body because of Huizhong." ”

He Muxin looked at the well-behaved and sensible Huizhong with relief, and held her hand tightly.

"Look at the two of you, you always love to stick together, but it makes me look like an outsider." Li Dai looked at them, shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand at the official who was the celebrant, and this birthday banquet was officially started.

The singer's soft voice is warm, the dancing girl has long sleeves, and the cups are staggered, which is a scene of harmony.

"Gu Yuancheng." I opened my mouth several times, and finally said to the purple-shirted young man next to me, "You...... Why have you avoided me these days? ”

The young man seemed to have the anger that had not dissipated that day between his eyebrows, and he threw his cup and turned his head to look at the charming and colorful dancing girl in the hall, and it seemed that he didn't want to pay any attention to me.

What a cautious eye!

I hate it.

"Your Majesty Emperor Qi." I picked up the wine cup, suddenly stood up, and saluted Emperor Qi.

"What's the matter with Shen Xiang?" Li Dai looked up at me, as if puzzled.

"Your Majesty." I smiled and put my eyes on Princess Huizhong beside Li Dai, "Today is the princess's birthday, and I should always give the princess a cup to the courtesy." ”

Li Dai gave me a gentle look, only nodded slightly, and didn't say much.

"May the princess be successful in everything, and the road ahead will be clear." When I saw Li Dai's acquiescence, I gave a toast to Huizhong.

Because of Fang Cai's birthday ceremony, Huizhong already felt a little close in his heart, and he didn't feel offended at this time, so he got up and took the jade cup and gave me a cup in return.

"Thank you, Lord Shen."

I smiled politely at Huizhong, then turned around to look at the purple-shirted boy who was staring at the dancing girl.

The princess's wine has been toasted, and it's time for the next one.

"Gu Xiang, you and I have known each other because of Your Majesty, and today I have to take this opportunity to toast to you." I raised my eyebrows to look at him, still with a faint detached smile on my face.

Gu Yuancheng finally raised his eyes to look at me, but his eyes did not have the look of annoyance that I had to be forced to have, but looked at me teasingly, and a little smile filled his eyes.

Tricked again!

I was so angry that I wanted to pour the wine in my hand directly on his triumphant face.

"How can Shen respect me? It should be me toasting Shen Xiang. Gu Yuancheng got up, bowed to me, and then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

I watched him pretend, and my heart was even more angry, but with Emperor Qi present and all the ministers looking at each other, I couldn't really have a seizure, so I had to hold back my sullenness, dry the wine in one gulp, and sit down with my sleeves brushed up.

"This is my unique willow spring fruit in Qinguo, you can taste it." Gu Yuancheng put the fruit cut by the palace maid in front of me, and smiled at me.

I didn't feel anything, but the suppressed gasp below made me suddenly embarrassed, and I instantly felt like I couldn't go up or down.

After spending a long time with Gu Yuancheng, I almost forgot what an unattainable person he was in the eyes of outsiders, and now that he personally brought willow spring fruit to a foreign envoy, no wonder they would be surprised.

Emperor Qi's inquiring gaze above my head had fallen on me, and I looked down at the willow spring fruit in front of me with a complicated mood, and I always had a feeling that I didn't know how to eat.

The dance music continued, but I had lost the interest in watching.

I was about to leave temporarily, but Gu Yuancheng secretly pulled my clothes, and with a pause in my movements, the corner of my eyes had already swept to the corner of the hall, two sneaky figures.

"Wait." Gu Yuancheng picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and reminded me quietly.

Suppressing my curiosity, I listened to him and did not move.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Princess Huizhong to quietly leave through the side door under the pretext of changing clothes.

I looked at the shadow that drifted away, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"It's time to go." Gu Yuancheng stood up, walked through the maids and eunuchs, and left the main hall. Love to read

I waited a moment before I got up.

"You're right here, you don't have to come with me, if something goes wrong later, remember to cover it up for me." After finishing my words to Bai Zhi, I also quietly slipped out of the main hall.

Outside the main hall, under the palace wall, Gu Yuancheng was already waiting for me there, I hurriedly stepped forward and secretly followed Princess Huizhong in front with him.

The roads in the palace are complex and changeable, and they deliberately avoid crowded places, and after a long time of twists and turns, Princess Huizhong finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous palace gate.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door of the garden, a little palace maid cowered and poked her head out, and saw that the person who came was Princess Huizhong, and immediately opened the door of the garden and let her in.

"I'm afraid it's rude to follow the princess of a country like this, right?" I looked at the door that had been quietly closed, and hesitated to make no further move.

Gu Yuancheng glanced at me and said disdainfully, "I've been following me for so long, but you don't want to go in when the time comes?" ”

"That's the princess of your Qi country, but I'm thinking about your Qi country." I glared at him with an expression of 'dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people', "It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, in case I see something bad and publicize it after drinking, it will damage the reputation of your Qi country!" ”

Gu Yuancheng didn't eat my set, and sneered, "You don't have the courage to go in and find out, for fear that you will see something you shouldn't see and be killed by me, right?" ”

With a flush of cheeks, I immediately distanced myself from him, snorted and retorted, "There is nothing in heaven and earth that I am afraid of, just go in, don't regret it!" ”

Gu Yuancheng raised his eyebrows, and then made a "please" action.

I gritted my teeth, glared at him fiercely, flicked my sleeves over the palace wall, and quietly landed.

Gu Yuancheng then also climbed over the wall and entered, without saying a word, he pulled me and hid behind a rockery in the garden.

"Princess, Mistress Mei has arrived, in the house." The little palace maid pushed open the corner of the door, and took a few steps back, waiting for Huizhong to enter.

Huizhong seemed a little hesitant, but in the end she made up her mind and walked in.

When the little palace maid saw that Princess Huizhong had not yet entered, she immediately reached out and closed the door and stood in front of the house.

"What now? Do you want to keep peeking? I asked Gu Yuancheng in a whisper.

"Of course." Gu Yuancheng looked at me with an expression of 'is what you said nonsense?' "Go to the roof, mother-in-law and mother are not allowed." ”

"......" I clenched my fists, resisted the urge to beat him, and quietly escaped the sight of the palace maid with him, and went up to the roof.

Carefully removing a piece of tile, Gu Yuancheng and I looked into the house with our heads overhead.

There are only two people in the house, one is Mei Yan, who has been waiting for a long time, but his current situation is very bad, not only are his hands and feet tied with chains, but his face is extremely pale, as if he is lying on the bed as if he is weak, his eyes are closed, his forehead is sweating, and the other is Princess Huizhong who has just rushed over.

"Ah Yan, what's wrong with you?" Huizhong obviously didn't expect such a situation in the house, so he hurriedly ran forward and whispered Mei Yan's name, "Ah Yan, wake up." ”

"Hmm." With a muffled snort, Mei Yan opened her eyes weakly.

"Ah Yan, are you awake?" Huizhong looked at him happily and reached out to help him up.

"Don't touch me!" Mei Yan drank low.

Huizhong was stunned for a moment, and looked at him inexplicably.

"I'm poisoned, you get out of me quickly." Mei Yan's face was extremely bad, and the words he said were even weaker.

"Poisoned?" Huizhong covered her mouth and exclaimed, but she seemed to suddenly remember something, and she blushed shyly.

After a long time, Huizhong left, Mei Yan twisted her eyebrows, and her tone became a lot heavier, "Hui'er, be obedient, go quickly." ”

"I'm leaving, what are you going to do?" Huizhong bit his lip and shook his head and refused to leave.

"I have my own way of salvation." Mei Yan's voice was already trembling slightly, but he still tried his best to show that he was confident, "Hui'er, you don't have to worry about me, get out of here quickly." ”

Huizhong still shook his head, and even boldly held one of Mei Yan's hands, "Ah Yan, I'm not leaving, don't drive me away, I can help ......"

"Hui'er!" Mei Yan suddenly shouted loudly, and Huizhong was stunned in place.

Although Mei Yan was bound by iron chains, his power did not decrease, he tore away Huizhong's hand and held him, and said in a cold tone, "How can the princess of Qi Kingdom have such a transgression?" Princess Huizhong, if you are like this again, Weichen will only bite his tongue and commit suicide, and he will have a reputation as a princess. ”

Tears welled up in his eyes at once, and Huizhong looked at him in disbelief with tears in his eyes, "Did you already know?" ”

Mei Yan pursed her lips and didn't speak.

"You're so disgusted with me? I gave up my face, gave up my figure, and waited for you for four years......" Huizhong laughed bitterly, "In the past four years, you have forgotten me cleanly, the mountains and rivers are far away, and you don't miss ......"

"In the past four years, in order to wait for you, I have tried my best to maneuver in front of the imperial brother, and even did not hesitate to do something sorry for him, but what about you? Why can't you have a place in your heart? Huizhong choked.

However, the boy who was tied up on the bed just looked at her with a sigh, and there was not even a trace of guilt in his eyes.
