Every spring, the Holy Lord will set up a spring feast and invite people from the palace to come to the feast.

Shen Mei, as the princess's playmate, can also go to the banquet.

Before going to the banquet, Liu Rou looked at her enviously and chose a pink dress embroidered with butterflies for her, "Sister is really blessed, the queen treats you so well." She touched the clothes and ornaments sent by the queen and couldn't put it down.

"If my sister likes it, pick a few." Shen Mei was sorting out her clothes, looking back and saying casually.

Liu Rou hesitated for a moment, happily picked up a hairpin, and just when she wanted to say the word "thank you", Lianxin glanced at Shen Mei and stopped: "Girl, the things that the queen has rewarded you are for you to go to the banquet, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to give them to others casually." ”

Shen Mei was in a hurry to go to the banquet, her status was humble, and the emperor would definitely be displeased if she went late. After listening to Lianxin's words, she thought that it was reasonable, so she said casually to Liu Rou: "Sister, I'm sorry, I will give you the best when my status is high." After speaking, she hurriedly straightened the hem of her clothes, and helped her simple and elegant bun out of the rose garden.

And Liu Rou stared at the exquisite hairpin in her hand, and tightened the strength of her hand for a long time, and the sharp ends of the hairpin almost sank into the flesh. She thought silently about her words, did she have to wait until she had a place to be good? She threw the hairpin back, making a dull sound as it fell.

Shen Mei hurried to the little princess, but she didn't expect that her unintentional words would be misunderstood by Liu Rou so much.

It was almost noon, and the sun was a little scorching, and she accompanied the little princess to sit in the pavilion where she went to the banquet.

The pavilion is large enough to accommodate a thousand people, and the area of open space outside the pavilion is particularly large.

There are many flowers and plants outside the pavilion, the tall trees are towering into the clouds, and the dense leaves are full of branches, which are enough to resist the scorching sun, and fight for a shade below, which is a good place to cool off.

When they arrived, there were already many high-ranking officials and women sitting down in specific positions outside the pavilion, enjoying the scenery and wine, laughing and talking, so lively.

"The princess has arrived." All of them were silent, and they all stood up and looked in their direction, saluting respectfully.

Shen Mei followed behind the little princess, crossed them to the pavilion, and stopped near the center.

The little princess happily jumped into her seat, there were a lot of fresh melons and fruits on the green jade table in front of her, she picked up a red apple casually, took three bites, and a face with a big mouth appeared.

"Sister, do you see if the snow is good." She was wearing a red palace dress, with a peony flower carved in silver on her head, which was a solemn and elegant outfit because of one of her movements.

The little princess pulled her sleeve, raised her head and looked at Shen Mei with a pair of bright eyes, a cool breeze hit, the soft bangs were messed up by the wind, Shen Mei squatted down, cut her hair, and laughed dotingly, "The princess bites it really beautiful." ”

The little princess giggled, and the two were having a good time, and the queen and the emperor arrived, because it was a spring feast, and they were not dressed so ceremoniously.

The emperor wore a dark blue robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and walked step by step towards the pavilion with the queen's hand in his hand.

Everyone held their breath and stood in place, not daring to come out, and the inside and outside of the pavilion were surprisingly quiet for a while.

Shen Mei raised her head and secretly glanced at the emperor, the emperor's face, which was no longer young, was radiant, and a pair of deep eyes were blazing.

He seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, his eyes looked towards Shen Mei, and she quickly lowered her head before they made contact.

The Emperor glanced at it lightly, quickly shifted his gaze, and sat down in the center of the pavilion. It wasn't until he stretched out his hand to say flat that everyone sat down in unison.

Some eunuchs had a difficult face, trotted to the emperor, and whispered a few words.

Because Shen Mei's location is not far from them, they can still hear it, as if Concubine Rong did not come.

The emperor waved his hand, frowned, and his eyebrows were dyed with anger, "Enter the cold palace." ”

What he said was light and light, as if it was the simplicity of discussing the scenery, and listening to Shen Mei's ears, she was shocked by a chill in her back. It's just that he didn't come, and the punishment was so heavy.

After he finished giving the order, he turned his eyes to look at everyone, the corners of his mouth curled, and his face turned from gloomy to clear, as if nothing had happened just now.

Shen Mei looked at the man, she couldn't hear what he said, she only felt sad for the woman. Maybe he had long forgotten what she looked like, and was imprisoned in a dark place for the rest of his life just because he made a small mistake, and sure enough, the emperor was ruthless.

She was stunned for a long time, and she didn't turn her mind until the arrival of the prince of Wuguo.

"Sister, brother is here." The little princess excitedly tugged at the hem of her dress, and her fleshy little finger pointed at the back of the prince.

Shen Mei looked along her fingertips, but her gaze couldn't help but stop on the prince, and she could no longer see Mu Qingfeng behind him smiling at her.

The cold and noble face, the side face that shimmered in the light with a cold sheen, was now so clear in front of her.

Chu Ze, he's also here. Shen Mei involuntarily curled her eyebrows. How many times she dreamed of him in her dreams, and when she woke up, he disappeared like a cloud, untraceable. Now she is standing in front of her, no longer a dream, no longer going away.

"Princess, is he really the crown prince?" She tried her best to restrain herself from rushing in front of him, bowing her head and asking the little princess.

She blinked her big watery eyes and looked at her and nodded suspiciously, "yes, he's my brother too." ”

"And what's his name?"

The little princess looked at the glint in her eyes, and seemed to understand something, "Mu Lingxuan, the prince's brother has not married yet. She added with a wink in her eyes and a smile on her face.

Mu Lingxuan, she silently recited this name in her heart, and her eyes kept following his pace, until he fell to the table, and still glued her gaze greedily to him.

Mu Lingxuan wanted to pretend to ignore it, but found that she had been staring at her, so she couldn't help but send a sharp gaze.

Shen Mei met his gaze, did not dodge or avoid, and smiled generously at him.

That smile fell on Mu Qingfeng's heart, and it hurt faintly, he had never seen her smile so brightly at him.

He looked at Mu Lingxuan, who was sitting on top of him, and smiled at her, snorted coldly, don't look over. Mu Qingfeng became more and more angry in her heart, everyone ignored her, and she still stepped forward with a smile, ignoring her own kindness.
