Chapter 21 Seated
As the sun sets near the end of the evening, the red glow spreads out in all directions, as if smiling.
"Ma'am, it's time for us to go." Jiao Wuyan came over to report.
Zhen Xi, who had already dressed up, got up and followed Jiao Wuyan to the gate of the palace, and just met Chu Beili who came from the main house, Zhen Xi stopped and saluted simply, and stood still to let Chu Beili get into the carriage first.
There should be no less etiquette in front of so many people, she is easy to her, originally she just came to be a guard, but she didn't want to pretend to be his wife, and there were more cumbersome rules for no reason.
Chu Beili stretched out his hand in front of Zhen Xi, spread out his broad palm, and motioned for her to put her hand on his.
Zhen Xi found that the palm of this delicate prince was covered with calluses, and this hand was very similar to the hand of a person who practiced martial arts! Zhen Xi looked at Chu Beili suspiciously, did he really not know martial arts, or was he pretending?
Zhen Xi has not felt any internal force in his body since he knew him, perhaps, this does not mean that he does not know martial arts, on the contrary, maybe he is a master who will hide his internal force?
Just when Zhen Xi looked at him thinking with a puzzled expression, Chu Beili thought that she was wondering why he stretched out his hand, so he grabbed Zhen Xi's hand and pulled her to the carriage without saying anything.
Before Zhen Xi could react, he picked her up horizontally and put her in the carriage.
Zhen Xi, who was already sitting in the carriage, complained: "Why hug me!" "This guy just wants to take advantage of it!
Chu Beili pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Why can't this king hug Mrs. ? ”
"We're just—" fake! Zhen Xi then thought that he was too naïve to be involved in the world! These princes and nobles can even take the maids in their own mansions, not to mention her, a fake lady in the mansion? It's not Chu Beili's words? However, if he dares to do anything to her, she will be able to unload his life, Zhen Xi thought indignantly!
Chu Beili looked at her gritting her teeth very interestingly, and he found that this was not the same as the Zhen Xi he knew before.
Zhen Xi didn't want to say anything more to him, so she opened a little curtain and looked at the lively market outside.
But Chu Beili looked at her beautiful side face and was distracted.
Suddenly, some fragmentary images flashed in Zhen Xi's mind, it was also a Mid-Autumn Festival night, and a richly dressed woman was holding a little girl and sitting in the pavilion admiring the moon.
Zhen Xi closed his eyes and wanted to think of something again, but he couldn't think of it, Zhen Xi had never had such a scene in his memory, those two were wearing ancient costumes, it couldn't be Zhen Xi's memory! Could it be that the little girl is the owner of her body?
"What's wrong with you?" Chu Beili saw that Zhen Xi was a little strange, so he asked.
"It's nothing, it's just remembering some of the past." Zhen Xi doesn't force this kind of thing to remember, it comes when it comes, and if it doesn't come, he doesn't want to deliberately look for it, adding trouble.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, they got off the car and changed to a sedan chair, Zhen Xi was afraid that Chu Beili would carry her on the sedan chair again, so he quickly jumped on the sedan chair and sat in. Soon they came to the place where the dinner party was held, on the square outside the Chu He Palace.
There are already some first-class officials and their families sitting on the table.
Chu Beili took Zhen Xi's hand and greeted them one by one, although Chu Beili was more favored by the emperor, he had no official position and no real power, and he was not welcomed in the court, but these officials could mix to the level of Yipin, and this kung fu was amazing.
There is indeed an exception, he disdains to glance at Zhen Xi, and even Chu Beili does not give a good face, which can be called a clear stream in the scene, this person is Scholar Li who was politely rejected by Chu Beili.
Maybe there is a grudge, his daughter is a well-known talented woman in this Zhaojing City, although her appearance is not a posture of alluring the country and the city, but it is not bad, how can she not be worthy of him, if he marries a person with status, it will be just that, but she is still a woman in the rivers and lakes! How could he not complain?
Although Chu Beili's behavior was a little ridiculous, these officials always greeted him with a smile, so he didn't care about it, and led Zhen Xijing to the seat and sat down.
Zhen Xi sat cross-legged with Chu Beili's appearance. From the moment she first entered the banquet to the present, she could feel that thousands of eyes were focused on her, and as the only person who did not attend the banquet as a wife or child, she wanted to be noticed.
Zhen Xi didn't pay attention to those strange glances! She was personally invited to the banquet by the Queen Mother! The heart is not empty at all!
Zhen Xi swallowed his saliva in front of a large table of food, which... Some can't resist, but the main owner hasn't come yet, and they can't move the chopsticks first.
Chu Beili leaned sideways and whispered in Zhen Xi's ear: "If you want to eat, just eat, it's okay." "He Chu Beili never cares about these rules, and his wife can do the same, so he can bear any gossip!
Zhen Xi smiled at Chu Beili, then took a fruit and ate it. This is the first time Zhen Xi thinks this guy is not bad! Handsome!
This scene was seen by others, and it was indeed an envious and loving look, but Li Yu'er, the daughter of Scholar Li, was not comfortable in her heart.
Although she doesn't like a prodigal son like Chu Beili, it is not easy to be rejected by him, the key is that this woman is not good looking at her, her family background, talent, and etiquette are not her, but she has to be ridiculed by everyone because of such a woman! I really can't feel comfortable in my heart.
It was getting late, and the guests were seated one after another.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" At this time, a father-in-law shouted in a rape voice.
"See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an!" Everyone stood up in unison and saluted and spoke.
"No need to be polite! Flatten! ”
There was the one sitting on the main seat, wearing dark yellow luxurious clothes, with a golden headdress on his head, showing his grace and luxury, but with a kind smile on his face, which surprised Zhen Xi, she thought that the Queen Mother looked like Lafayette!
A father-in-law standing behind the Queen Mother had white gauze wrapped around his hands and hung around his neck, which seemed a little out of place with the atmosphere of this banquet. That is the red man Cao Gonggong next to the Queen Mother, that is, the father-in-law who went to King Li's Mansion to hand a post to Zhen Xi a few days ago.
He came out of the palace from the palace that day, just got off the sedan chair, somehow his foot suddenly seemed to be hit by something, one did not stand firm and fell, and his hand was broken, and when he got up and looked around, he did not find any suspicious people or suspicious things, so he could only sprinkle his anger on the palanquin man.
He may never know that it was the consequence of his blank glance at Zhen Xi, Chu Beili's wife, it's not something that this person can white-eye!
