The night banquet is stormy
The night banquet is stormy
"What do you two have any doubts about my last name?" Shen Huai looked at Yu Xiuyang with a smile.
Qi Rin looked at the two brothers and sisters sitting in Xiliang's seat vigilantly, and quietly grabbed Shen Huai's waist with one hand.
Shen Huai glanced sideways at Qi Rin.
Yu Xiuyang put down the curiosity and exploration of Shen Huai in his eyes, and smiled apologetically at Shen Huai, "It's me who is abrupt, I just saw that the girl looked like someone I knew, so I offended the girl by saying this." ”
Yu Xiuyang's polite apology made it difficult for people to pursue it again.
It's just that Qi Rin is not an ordinary person.
"Since the envoy knows the offense, then stop staring at my wife."
As soon as Qi Rin spoke, Qi Wen, who was sitting at the top, knew that he was annoyed.
After all...... Their son usually said so many things in one breath.
Yu Xiuyang's face froze, and he once again saluted Qi Rin with his fists to show his apology, and then sat back in his seat under the gaze of a group of officials and ministers.
This great prince of the country, as rumored, is not a good person. It's really hard for the girl sitting next to him.
Shen Huai raised his eyebrows when he felt the compassionate gaze cast by Yu Xiuyang.
What is this man doing?
Fortunately, it didn't take long for a group of dancers in pink clothes to come up with small steps and stretching their waists.
For a while, everyone's attention was attracted by these gorgeous dancing girls.
Qi Rin was not interested in this dance music, and withdrew his gaze after only one glance.
On the contrary, Shen Huai, who was sitting next to him, looked at those graceful dancing girls, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.
Zhaohui, who was sitting opposite the two of them, had already thrown Qi Han behind the clouds, and his two eyes were staring at a woman leading the dance in the main hall. It's as if a wolf that has been hungry for a long time has seen a delicious prey.
The woman leading the dance was stared at by Zhao Hui with such a fiery gaze, how could she not notice her presence.
So everyone in the hall saw a woman with a beautiful appearance holding the palace silk on her arm, pointing lotus steps and whirling towards Qi Han...... The woman next to her walked away.
Qi Han's face was almost dark.
But a woman ignored his face, and beckoned to the dancing girl flirtatiously.
"......" sat on the top, taking in the unobstructed scene below Qi Wenzhao and his wife.
Zhaohui may have thought that Qi Han's face was not ugly enough, so he not only gave the dancing girl a thin glass of wine with his own hands, but also took her hand and whispered a few words to her.
Qi Han's face successfully turned from black to purple.
He seemed to hear the sound of raindrops falling on the grassland.
After the dancer left from the place where she summoned the emblem, she came to Shen Huai with a smile on her eyebrows.
“???” Qi Rin.
She picked up the wine cup in front of Shen Huai with both hands and respectfully served it in front of Shen Huai.
Shen Huai took the wine with a smile and took a sip.
Then she saw the dancers slowly return to their original positions with the weak and boneless steps, and went down with the dancers.
At this time, the officials in the main hall looked at Qi Han and Qi Rin with different eyes.
Zhaohui is a person who is used to coaxing people, and I don't know what means she used, but it didn't take long to coax Qi Han.
It is precisely because of this that Zhaohui will repeatedly jump on the verge of death every day.
Shen Huai didn't say anything, but just took out a sachet hidden in his sleeve. Taking advantage of the fact that the civil and military officials didn't care, he secretly stuffed it into Qi Rin's palm.
"Hidden here is a peace charm that I prayed for in the temple." Shen Huai coughed lightly to hide his discomfort.
Her embroidery is so bad, this sachet is really a little out of her hands.
Qi Rin looked at the sachet lying quietly in the palm of his hand, still with a little warmth. I don't know if I was scratched by some unknown object in my heart, which inexplicably made him feel very happy.
It turned out that Shen Huai's worries were completely unnecessary.
Because the dinner was over, when Qi Rin took her back to her residence. The crooked sachet that was sewn hung openly on Qi Rin's waist, and it was very eye-catching.
Shen Huai saw the sachet shaking slightly at a glance, and his heart froze.
The two of them withdrew their subordinates and strolled back quietly.
When passing by a green bush, Shen Huai vaguely heard the woman's screaming and crying, mixed with the man's voice.
Shen Huai suddenly stopped his wheelchair and turned his head to look at Qi Rin.
Qi Rin's ear power was even better than Shen Huai's, and naturally he also heard the voice coming from the green bushes.
Just as the eyes of the two met, the sound of rustling footsteps came from the green bushes, which fell on Shen Huai's ears, which was particularly chaotic. It's like a person's steps when they are in a hurry.
As he thought about it, a dancer in a pink dress fell out of the greenery and fell right in front of them.
With the help of the palace lamp on the side of the road, Shen Huai and Qi Rin saw the appearance of the woman sitting on the ground clearly at the same time.
It was the same woman who had led the dance at the banquet earlier.
At this moment, her eyes were weeping, the thin clothes on her body were torn by the chaotic branches, and the creamy jade wrist was also rubbed with a trace of blood from the fall just now.
At this moment, she raised her head slightly, looking at Shen Huai with tears in her eyes, and she looked pitiful.
"Madame...... Help me......" The woman was obviously so frightened that her body trembled involuntarily even when she spoke.
Just as Shen Huai was about to ask her what had happened, another man sprang out of the greenery.
The man was born with a mediocre appearance, but the clothes were not ordinary, and he looked like a certain official child who came to the banquet tonight.
As soon as he saw the woman who fell to the ground, he wanted to reach out and pull it, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of evil desire.
The woman looked at him in horror, and her body involuntarily moved back.
Qi Rin stood beside Shen Huai, looking at the man with disgust in his eyes.
He never imagined that after the banquet tonight, such a thing would happen.
"Jingyuan." Qi Rin shouted coldly.
Jingyuan, who had been a foot away from the two of them, heard the sound fall from the tree, and stood firmly in front of Qi Rin, "Master." ”
"Throw him out."
Jingyuan replied in a deep voice, and walked towards the man.
The man had been stupid since the moment Qi Rin spoke, and most of the wine on his body had woken up, and he fell to the ground with his feet limp.
"Temple...... Your Highness. ”
He didn't expect that Qi Rin would appear in this place.
"Please spare your life, please spare your life......"
The man kept kowtowing to Qi Rin to admit his mistake, looking terrified.
Qi Rin didn't bother to look at him again, and only asked Jingyuan to throw him out of the palace.
When Jingyuan took the man away, the woman lying on the ground suddenly came back to her senses, gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, and bowed to Shen Huai.
Since this person had been rescued, Shen Huai didn't want to stay longer, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
Who knew that the woman actually shouted out to stop Shen Huai.
"I implore me to stay with Madame, even if it is to be a maid who pours tea and water."
Shen Huai turned his head to look at her.
She is a dancer in the palace, and her monthly salary must be more than that of a little maid beside her, and she is not bound by those red tapes.
Seeing that Shen Huai didn't speak, the woman gritted her teeth and continued: "Qiushui knows that he is of little use, but he still understands the truth of gratitude and kindness. I hope that Mrs. can agree to Qiushui to stay by Mrs. Side, even if it is to be a little maid without money. ”
Shen Huai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
There is no shortage of people around her, but this dancing girl, if she does not have the protection of others, I am afraid that she will be humiliated in the future.
"Your name is Qiushui, isn't it?" Shen Huai squinted at the person in front of him.
The scene at the banquet just now made her have a certain impression of this autumn water. It's not impossible to keep her around, and you can dance to yourself in your spare time.
In this way, it was originally the moment when the two of them got along, but there was one more person.
Qi Rin pursed his lips, exuding an aura of displeasure all over his body.
At the dinner party before, he saw Ah Huai showing interest in this woman. Now it's okay, and I've received it by my side.
Shen Huai looked at a certain man with a lonely look in his eyes, and secretly laughed in his heart. Reaching out and holding Qi Rin's hand, the two of them clasped their fingers tightly.
Qi Rin lowered his eyes and looked at the hands held by the two, and the depression in his heart was gradually smoothed out.
After returning to the courtyard of the two, Shen Huai asked Shu'er to arrange a room for Qiushui, while she herself went to the next room to find Qi Rin.
In fact, Qi Rin's room was smaller than Shen Huai's, it was a side hall in his previous palace, but Shen Huai's room was the main hall.
"Rin." Shen Huai stood in front of the door and shouted to the people sitting under the warm yellow candle flame reading the recital.
Qi Rin raised his head to look at her when he heard the sound.
Shen Huai smiled softly at him.
"What, aren't you angry?" Shen Huai looked at the man sitting beside her obediently and asked with an eyebrow.
Qi Rin's face froze, and he replied in a muffled voice: "Reluctant." ”
"Huh?"
Because Qi Rin's words were vague, Shen Huai didn't hear them clearly.
Qi Rin didn't repeat it, but just turned his gaze and landed on the sachet that Shen Huai had given him.
Such a good person, how can he be willing to be angry again.
"If you don't like that autumn water, I'll let Zhaohui accept her." Shen Huai said empathetically.
Anyway, when she was at the banquet just now, she saw that Zhaohui was quite interested in this autumn water.
Qi Rin shook his head, "No need, keep it if you like." ”
If this is sent to Zhaohui, maybe Qi Han will make trouble with Zhaohui when he turns around.
Qi Rin still understands his younger brother.
And he will be a little busy in the past few days, I'm afraid that he won't be able to spare time to accompany Shen Huai, and it is good to have someone who can relieve Shen Huai's boredom.
"Sister Qiushui, your future room is here." Shu'er smiled sweetly.
Qiushui smiled at Shu'er and began to look at his new room.
"Sister Qiushui, if you feel that there is something missing, you can come to me and say it."
For this new Qiushui, Shu'er did not reciprocate hostility, but was very enthusiastic.
