Chapter 152: The Last Gift
While everyone was still shocked that the box was empty, Qingge was anxious in his heart, thinking that he had to end the performance quickly.
"Everyone, please see, Miss Lin, who was locked in the box just now, has successfully escaped."
"It's unbelievable that such a big person actually disappeared out of thin air."
"How did she escape, it can't be."
"Are you looking for me?" Suddenly, a person stood up in the women's seat, who was not Banxia.
"Oh my God! How did you get here? A woman asked curiously.
Banxia walked out of the women's seat and came to Qingge's side, originally they still had an impromptu performance, but now, I'm afraid it won't work.
"Back to the emperor, the performance of the courtiers is over." Qingge bowed ninety degrees with Banxia.
"Okay, good, Ye Huwei and Lin Zhutou's performances are very exciting, they should be rewarded." I haven't seen such an interesting performance for a long time, and Bai Qianchen is very happy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qingge didn't have the joy she had before at all, and rewards and nothing could ease her nervous heart.
Finally successfully retreated from the banquet, as soon as the box landed, Qingge hurriedly opened the splint of the box, and the magpie who stayed inside was pale, and the clothes on his left hand were already soaked with blood. Seeing Qingge looking at himself nervously, although his eyes were full of grievances, he didn't make a sound.
"I'm sorry, Magpie, how are you?" Qingge reached out and quickly pulled the magpie out.
"The slave is fine." The little girl shook her head slightly, without the slightest complaint or dissatisfaction, but there was some careful comfort to Qingge in her tone.
"Quick, let's go find the Imperial Doctor."
"Ye Guard, the banquet is not over yet, you and Lin Zhutou have to go back, just leave it to the miscellaneous family here." Gonggong Liu on the side kindly reminded.
"It should be okay to delay for a while!" The magpie suffered this because of her own personal grudges, and she was very unhappy.
"Qingge, this is the palace, is that Du Chaoyang still staring at you?" Banxia touched Qingge's shoulder and gave a warning.
"Ye Huwei, the maid is really fine, don't delay the business because of the maid." The magpie looked at Qingge uneasily.
"Silly girl, don't say such things, I hurt you." Qingge is really sorry, she will return this sword to Du Chaoyang sooner or later.
The magpie glanced at Qingge in fear, he really didn't expect Qingge to say such a thing, a lowly person like them only has the life of being trampled on, how can anyone care about what they think, this Ye Guard is really a good person.
"Leaf ...... The guards have tormented the slaves, don't say that. ”
"Alright, don't delay, let's get in quickly!"
"Then it's troublesome father-in-law, I'll go to see you later." Qingge gently patted the magpie's hand.
The two quietly returned to the main hall, the hall was full of wine, the noise was even worse, and at the end of the banquet, everyone was drunk.
"I don't know when the last gift of Simon's envoy is intended to be presented to our esteemed majesty." Wu Ninghou used the strength of his wine to set his eyes on several Simon envoys, and he did not forget the humiliation he had suffered earlier.
Simon's messenger, who was named, got up slowly, although he couldn't understand what he said, but when he saw the other party's not very good face, he knew that it was the third gift.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the gifts have been prepared a long time ago, but Your Majesty still needs to move and go outside the palace together. ”
"Where is Guardian Ye?"
Qingge knew that his mission was not yet completed, so he quickly adjusted his emotions and got up from his seat.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are here, and the messenger of Simon said that the third gift has been prepared, but I just want to ask His Highness to move outside."
"Oh? What kind of gifts cannot be offered in this great hall, but need to be outside the temple. Bai Qianchen asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, this gift is a bit special."
"Okay, then I'll go out with the messenger to see what kind of gift it is." Bai Qianchen put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up leisurely.
As soon as the emperor moved, His Royal Highness's courtiers thought that they also got up, so Bai Qianchen was the leader, and Bai Jianyu and the prime minister were supplemented by Yigan's courtiers who went outside the palace one after another, and the envoys also followed.
On the corridor outside the hall, there was a neat row of soldiers, holding torches in their hands, not knowing what they were going to do.
"Your Majesty, it is ready, please show me." Ouchi's guards stepped forward.
Bai Qianchen nodded and signaled that he could start.
The crowd began to whisper for some reason, looking around, speculating about what new tricks the Simon messenger was playing.
Qingge looked up at the bright starry sky above his head, and couldn't help but guess.
"What do you think?" Qingge touched Banxia next to him with his elbow.
"I have an idea, I don't know if it." Banxia touched his chin.
"Tell me about it."
"You said that such a beautiful night has to be outside, and the soldiers are still holding torches, what do you think?" Banxia smiled and looked at Qingge.
"Torches, outdoors...... Yes! I know. Qingge snapped his fingers and suddenly realized.
"It's not something unusual, it's not novel to say that it's novel, it depends on what new tricks Simon can play."
Qingge nodded in agreement, it is indeed not an uncommon thing, fireworks! Who hasn't seen it, she thought it was something amazing, but it was rare to see such a familiar thing here.
"Ignition"
With a shout, the soldiers took a step back in unison, lit the bamboo tube in front of them with the torch in their hands, only heard a few 'squeaks', the bamboo tube was ignited, and then burned quickly along the lead, and the fire entered the bamboo tube and disappeared. Then, just listening to the sound of 'boom', a few flashes of light soared upward, followed by an explosion in the sky, followed by colorful light scattered in the air, like a rain of petals, bright and gorgeous.
Such a beautiful scene attracts everyone's eyes tightly and makes people forget their troubles for a while.
"What beautiful fireworks!" Qingge couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you call them fireworks?" Simon's envoy Livam next to her asked softly.
"Maybe!" Qingge wasn't sure what Great Xia's people were called.
"You're good, and so are your friends." The female envoy Simon tilted her head slightly, glanced at Qingge, and her eyes under the scarf showed a hint of envy.
"That's nature." Qingge raised the corners of his mouth.
"I want to ask you to say a word to your friend."
"What?" Qingge looked at Livam in confusion.
"I want to be friends with her." Because of her own eyes, no one dared to approach her, and no one was really good to her, they all thought she was a monster, or they wanted to use her, no one dared to look at her, she had always been lonely, and now she saw hope.
"I think she'll be willing, but the language barrier is a real nuisance." Qingge pursed his lips.
"Aren't you angry?" Livam thought that Qingge would be somewhat emotional.
"Why should I be angry, afraid that you will rob my good friend or afraid that you have ulterior motives?" Qingge couldn't help but want to laugh.
Livam didn't answer, just listened quietly.
"Sister, the envoy said she wanted to be friends with you." Qingge pulled Banxia's cuffs sideways.
"I hear you."
"Sister, do you understand Korean?" Qingge was shocked.
"Don't get excited, just understand this sentence, you tell the female envoy, you are very happy." Banxia casually looked at the gorgeous and colorful sky.
"You girl." Qingge chuckled lightly and turned his head to look at Livam on the right, "Congratulations to the envoy for having two more friends." ”
"You ......" Livam choked up, speechless.
Fireworks spread across the sky lit up the entire night sky and illuminated every smiling face.
The bright fireworks burned for half an hour, and finally came to an end, and after a short period of beauty, there was a cloud of dust left.
"I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor is satisfied with Simon's last gift." Simon's messenger asked with a smile.
"I'm satisfied, Your Majesty Simon has a heart." Bai Qianchen didn't show much expression.
Simon's messenger bowed respectfully and withdrew.
A banquet ended like this, and Qingge, who was originally going to see the magpie, was stopped by Gonggong Liu, so he had to leave the palace.
Because he promised Mrs. Yan, when he left the palace, Qingge did not go with the white arrow rain, but got into a carriage with Mrs. Yan. The faces of the four people in the carriage were different.
Yan Suye naturally didn't need to say much, he had nothing to do in his heart, he had seen so many interesting things at the banquet, and he was still happy and happy.
Banxia didn't have much interest in this banquet, even the gorgeous fireworks only made her excited for a while, but now she was a little sleepy.
And when Mrs. Yan saw His Royal Highness King Han come forward to speak for Qingge at the banquet, she knew that the relationship between the two was not shallow, and she was faintly worried in her heart, saying that she was a woman, but she still heard about the affairs of the court.
As for Qingge, he hung to the side, leaning against the window, not wanting to speak, today's incident with the little magpie made her realize that she was powerless, some things were slowly disintegrating, and some things were growing in her heart. There will be a lot of such things in the future, as long as she is by the side of Bai Jianyu for a day, such things will emerge in endlessly, in the past, she was alone, but she didn't care about it, so now? Can she still ignore it? What if the person in the box today is Banxia? Then what would she do, still watching Du Chaoyang's sword pierce Banxia's body? How should she go in the future?
"Sister Qingge, Sister Banxia, why are you two listless and don't speak?"
"I'm tired and don't want to talk."
"I'm sleepy and don't want to talk."
The two replied in unison.
"Your performance today is so exciting, how did you do it, tell me!" Yan Suye didn't have the eyesight to continue to ask.
Qingge glared at Yan Suye weakly, but Banxia closed his eyes directly and didn't answer.
"Don't do that! Talk about it, talk about it. Yan Suye's soft and glutinous voice pleaded coquettishly.
The three of them went all the way in this form, and in the end, Yan Suye didn't ask the answer he wanted.
