Chapter 4: The Birthday Banquet
When Shu woke up, he only felt a terrible pain in his brain, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Xue Pei in front of him, washing a sweat towel with warm water.
When Xue Pei saw her, she hurriedly stepped forward with concern and said, "Niangniang is awake?" Slaves and maids will wait for you to wash and change your clothes. ”
Shu Qing rubbed the corners of his forehead, reluctantly sat up, and fell into a brief contemplation.
She clearly remembered that she was sitting in the courtyard waiting for Mo Wengu last night, why did she return to her bed in the blink of an eye? And in the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
Xue Pei Xu saw her doubts, and explained with a smile: "Niangniang, when the prince came back late last night, I saw you napping in the courtyard, and I couldn't bear to wake you up, so I only ordered the slave to bring you back." So, it's the slave and the snow ring that help you to the bed. ”
Shu Qing tried hard to think about it for a long time, although he didn't have an impression, his heart became warmer and warmer.
Did Mo Wengu see her efforts? That's why his attitude towards her has changed? Mo Wengu's kindness to her in the past few days has made her feel like she is in a dream.
If it was a dream, she would have fallen asleep for a long time.
After a short period of joy, Shu Qing jumped up from the bed in high spirits. Under Xue Pei's service, she quickly finished washing, and then took the porridge to see Mo Wengu in the study. Mo Wengu was warming a book in the study, looking at it from a distance, he was as beautiful as jade, and he was really worthy of being the most beautiful man in Kyoto.
Marrying him is something she will laugh at in her dreams in her life.
Shu Qing thought that Mo Wengu would say something to her, but when Mo Wengu saw her, he was still as cold and indifferent as usual. Drinking porridge coldly and reading books coldly, as if the one who took advantage of the night to plan a birthday banquet with Shu Zicheng was someone else.
Shu Qing blinked, and after thinking about it carefully, he figured it out, Mo Wengu wanted to surprise her! It's a surprise, so naturally I can't tell her until the eve of my birthday.
So after Mo Wengu finished eating the soup, Shu Qing happily took away the bowl and went out of the study.
Shu Qing was right, and it wasn't until the eve of her birthday that Mo Wengu told her about it, so that she was ready to be congratulated by everyone on the second day.
This is the first time that Mo Wengu has made her appear in front of everyone openly, Shu Qing can't lose his face, on the day of his birthday, Shu Qing got up early in the morning, put on a set of black and red bat longevity pattern deep clothes, eyebrows lightly, lightly swept the rouge, and decorated it from beginning to end.
Maybe her diet has had some effect recently, and maybe the color of black and red looks thin, Shu Qing, who is wearing this set of deep clothes, is really a little presentable, her makeup is very light, and she is applied just right, and it will not show exaggeration at all, but it will highlight her complexion exceptionally well.
After the decoration was completed, the kings and nobles of all the families in Kyoto had come to celebrate one after another.
According to the past customs, Shu Qingzhi's birthday should have been a three-day and three-night flowing water banquet, but now he married into the Qingwang Mansion and became the princess of Qing.
Even so, this was enough to make Shu Qing feel happy.
The birthday banquet was set up in the antechamber.
The front hall is spacious, and it can accommodate more than four or five hundred people.
In just one day, dozens of banquets have been arranged inside and outside the hall.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the banquet, Shu Qing walked out of the back hall accompanied by Xuehuan Xue Pei, and along the way, she did not forget to tidy up her appearance, for fear that she would embarrass Mo Wengu after leaving the back hall.
When he walked to the front hall, Shu Qing couldn't help but ask Xue Pei: "What about the prince?" ”
Because there were so many guests today, Xuehuan went to the old housekeeper to help, but from early in the morning to now, Shu Qing had not seen Mo Wengu once. At this moment, she should have been in and out with Mo Wengu in pairs.
Xue Pei cautiously followed her side, embarrassed and said: "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid went to the study to see, and also looked in the back garden, but there was no trace of the prince, the old housekeeper said that the prince went out before dawn, maybe he went to the palace." Don't worry, the slave will let people look for it. ”
Shu Qing shook his head: "No need. ”
Originally, she was still happy about Mo Wengu's actions, and at this moment, a burst of desolation surged in her heart. Could it be that Mo Wengu, who she thought had changed her mind, was all just her illusion?
Maybe everything Mo Wengu did was just to investigate the Liu Fuyan case, or was it just to deal with his father?
The more Shu Qing thought about it, the more he felt that this was the most likely, and his originally ruddy face became pale at this moment.
Seeing this, Xue Pei was frightened: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
Shu Qing reluctantly stood still: "This palace is fine, let's go." Let's go and entertain guests. ”
Now the guests outside must be waiting for her alone.
"Mother, don't force yourself. If you can't support it, tell the slave. "Because of the lessons of the past, Xue Pei now has more eyes than before, and nothing matters as much as Niangniang's body.
Shu Qing bowed, followed by Xue Pei's into everyone's field of vision.
Sure enough, the front hall under the front hall was already full of noisy people, gathering a lot of kings and grandsons and nobles, all of whom were familiar to Shu Qing.
The familiar ones were those who had laughed at her behind her back, Shu Qing's first reaction when she saw them was to turn her head and walk back, but Xuehuan quickly grabbed her.
Shu Qing then remembered that today was her birthday, and she couldn't avoid it.
In desperation, she had to greet them with a smile and greet these people one by one. After a circle, the people around him not only did not go down, but there were more and more.
Surrounded by everyone, Shu Qing's forehead couldn't help but sweat coldly, and somehow, a huge sense of pressure pressed on her chest, making it a little difficult for her to breathe.
In the past, when she was the eldest lady of Shufu, how comfortable she was, naturally she didn't have to take into account the rumors and rumors of these people, but now that she is Princess Qing, these people's eyes fell on her, and Shu Qing felt uncomfortable. In addition, these people are too enthusiastic to teach her.
Just when she was about to lose her support, a cold voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Princess Qing."
Shu Qing took a look, but saw a handsome man with a tall figure and a dark shirt coming in front of him, and when he looked at it, it was Mo Xian.
Mo Xian frowned at the moment, his face was a little anxious, and he had already walked up to her in three or two steps as he spoke: "I have something urgent to find you, and I ask Princess Qing to borrow a step to speak." ”
Shu Qing was stunned, and the first reaction that flashed through his mind was - is there something wrong with Mo Wengu!
