Volume 1 Jinghua Smoke and Clouds (I) Chapter 25 The Strange Story of the Night Banquet

"Who is pretending to be a god here! Quickly report your name and spare you from dying! ”

Fifteen-year-old Lu Chengfeng's heart had already jumped to his throat, and he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, but when he thought that he was an atheist in the 21st century, he put his mind at ease, settled down, and scolded sharply.

"Your Royal Highness, I am Niu Sanbao, the little father-in-law who sent you into the palace in the morning, do you remember me?"

"It's you! Who are you pretending to be a fool of yourself in this big night? ”

"Didn't you ask me to come to the palace to serve?"

"Come on, come! Why do you dress up like this! ”

"You ran away as soon as you saw me, and I don't know why. Am I so unsightly? The little eunuch said aggrievedly.

The evening breeze blows the willow branches by the lakeside cloister and gently brushes the cheeks of the passing wind.

Lu Chengfeng suddenly realized, "I understand! The culprit is the shade of this green tree! The moonlight sprinkled down through the thick wicker, and this angle, coupled with the water of the lake, was reflected on the people's faces, and turned into green light! ”

"But why do you have a cloak and your face covered in blood? I don't think you're a ghost, do I? Fortunately, my subordinates are merciful, otherwise with my strong martial arts, maybe your little life will be ruined today! Don't hurry up and thank me, master! ”

Lu Chengfeng was busy and boasted to himself.

"Slave Niu Sanbao thanked His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun." The little father-in-law knelt down respectfully and thanked him.

"Get up! Sanbao, let me ask you, why is this huge palace so deserted? Lu Chengfeng looked around, very strange.

"This, the villain doesn't know where to start." Sanbao's father-in-law looked embarrassed.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has arrived, and the slave will miss the distance!" A middle-aged man dressed in a vermilion steward eunuch uniform hurried over, followed by a large group of men and women dressed as palace people, and Wu Yang Wu Yang suddenly fell to his knees.

Who said no one! Lu Chengfeng was surprised, "Are you the palace steward?" Where did you guys come from? Why didn't you see a single figure just now? ”

"Back to Your Highness, the slave is the butler of the West Mansion, Jin Buchang, who is late to take over, please punish His Highness!"

After the golden housekeeper finished speaking, his face sank, and he took off the scarlet butler eunuch's shirt, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, as if Lian Po was guilty of asking for guilt, and bowed his head and said, "This matter is all my fault, and please punish Your Highness!"

"You get up first! As long as you tell me what's going on, no one will punish you!" Lu Chengfeng was really dazzled by the white fat of Steward Jin, he hurriedly covered his eyes with his hand, and said, "You put on your clothes first and then talk back!" Hurry up!"

Jin Buchang was still kneeling, bowing his head and not speaking, as if there was something unspeakable.

"If you want me to help you get dressed, you can't do it! Niu Sanbao! You go and put it on him! Lu Chengfeng's face was already angry.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Steward Jin hurriedly wrapping his shirt, kowtowing again, and replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun, the minions were living in the backyard just now, and they did not receive the news of the return of the Emperor and Sun, so the time was delayed, and the minions should die!"

"No communication? Why is that? Lu Chengfeng turned his hand behind his back and looked at Niu Sanbao, his eyes were sharp.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, the little one was ordered to come, and the Feng Gong Bus on behalf of the little one should follow His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun well, but he did not mention that he would pass it on first, and the slave thought that someone had already informed him when he sent the Emperor Sun back to the house before. In short, it is the dereliction of duty of the minions! Please punish Your Highness! ”

Niu Sanbao was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Alright, alright, all up, all up!" Lu Chengfeng shook his hand and said impatiently, "You still refuse to tell me what unsightly secrets are hidden in this Xifu!" Otherwise, with the dignity of the crown king, even if it is Xifu, it is impossible to be so deserted!"

"Your Highness, please do not move! Presumably, the nobles in charge of the palace dare not enter the palace to spread the word, and the slaves and maids really dare not go out!" A little palace maid sobbed in a low voice.

"Your Royal Highness, it is said that last year, His Royal Highness the crown king returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he fell in love with a palace maid in this Xifu, and she was romantic overnight. Later, the princess found out, and she actually killed the girl in the house! Poor palace maid, when she died, she was already pregnant with Liujia! One corpse, two lives! Since then, it has been rumored in Beijing that this Xifu is haunted! The subordinates who stayed in Xifu said that this was the palace maid's death too miserably, and the mother and son came back to ask for their lives! So, as soon as the sun is over, no one in the house dares to go out of the house for half a step!"

Niu Sanbao finally couldn't help it, and whispered in Lu Chengfeng's ear.

"I see!" Lu Chengfeng smiled knowingly and said, "Since he is a wronged person, he is naturally unjustly debtor, and he will only find the person who killed him to pay for his life, I think you don't have to be afraid if you don't have a ghost in your heart!" Bring me wine, choose a day is better than hit the day, in order to celebrate my road riding the wind today, give me a table happily, everyone celebrates! Celebrate together!"

"This ......," the golden steward hesitated.

"I'll do it! You! Old Kim! Go and give me a trip, and go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to invite Brother Jingmo to talk. Go now!" Lu Chengfeng pointed to the golden housekeeper.

"Three Treasures! You take the others to prepare for the feast! Today is my first time opening, and I can't lose the face of my crown palace in front of Brother Jingmo! Serve me all the good wine and food!" Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, and the deployment was completed!

All the people were ordered to retreat and go their own way.

Lu Chengfeng clapped his hands proudly, as if he wanted to shoot down the dust in his palm, and then walked around.

I saw him walking east and west, whistling leisurely against the door in the backyard for a while, and then going to the back kitchen to rummage through the cabinets, and from time to time to say a few words to the people in the back kitchen, and by the way, picked up one or two small pastries and ate them.

Everyone in Xifu looked at each other, and their eye contact seemed to be silently reciting, worthy of being the emperor's grandson! Unaffected by rumors at all, there is no timidity at all! It must have the aura of nobility to protect oneself! With the little emperor and grandson in charge, has the palace been peaceful since then?

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the food and wine have been served, and the guests have already taken their seats.

At the request of the new emperor's grandson, it is rare for the people to be able to serve on the table, have fun with the king, smile like a flower, and push the cup to change the lamp. Between the silk and bamboo orchestras, there are steaming pure brews and soups, and there is a hot and happy image. For a while, everyone had forgotten the haunted rumor to the clouds.

"Woo woo, I died so miserably! O my child! Give me my life! Give me back my life!" A poignant sound came, as if a woman was complaining loudly and sharply, but it was not like the ordinary crying and choking sound, but more like the opera singing in the pear orchard, listening to the trance, accompanied by the sound of the bamboo flute whimpering and complaining, as if the soul really came out of the underworld.

Haunted again!
