Chapter 118: Ten Thousand People Are Like a Sea

Bao Yuan was stunned there, and when she reacted, a nameless fire rose, she crossed her hands on her waist, directly blocked Bai Ling's road, and said in a loud voice, "Eh, you little white-eyed wolf-"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Ling's two hands had already reached over, held Bao Yuan's face, and interrupted with a smile, "I know that Sister Bao Yuan is really good for me, and I am very grateful." ”

The second half of Bao Yuan's words choked in his throat, and he suddenly laughed angrily.

I suddenly laughed halfway through my anger, and I couldn't get angry anymore.

Bao Yuan took several breaths, and finally calmed the remaining anger in his heart.

Half of this is Qi Bailing's disappreciation, and the other half is annoyed that he can't help but laugh for a while.

She shook her head while stroking her chest, still saying something in her mouth, "Ouch, I'm so angry." ”

"I'll be obedient for a while, Sister Baoyuan points where to hit and what to say." Bai Ling took a few steps closer and whispered to Bao Yuan.

Bao Yuan glared at her, "Okay, you said it." ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded earnestly.

Tonight is the home of Niangniang and Baoyuan, and of course she can't dominate the crowd.

The sky was getting darker, but at the same time, the night lights on the lakeside side of the Imperial Garden kept coming on.

This garden party is essentially a small family banquet that Emperor Jianxi started in advance because he couldn't hold back his desire to enjoy it, and to some extent this is also an unpredictable part of Emperor Jianxi - he is a quiet person, and thick cloth curtains for sound insulation are specially hung on all sides of the dormitory, and when he reads books or reviews the recitals alone, he is often so quiet that he can't even hear a little snort.

Every year, Emperor Jianxi had a retreat of nearly a month and a half, during which he sat alone in the Xianling Garden, and no one was seen except Huang Chongde, who delivered the recitals and waited by him every day.

However, who should be appointed and deposed in the court, Emperor Jianxi has a mirror in his heart.

His eyeliner extended to the 14 mansions of the Great Zhou Dynasty through the Jinyi Guard and the Master of Ceremonies, and everything flowed calmly from Emperor Jianxi's heart.

However, such a deep emperor loves to be lively, and often holds banquets in the palace every once in a while, which makes people very incomprehensible.

Whether it is Huang Chongde, Qiu Shi or now Jia Yuchun, they all started from taking care of the family banquet for Emperor Jianxi, and they were reused little by little. Emperor Jianxi had his own set of ideas in arranging the family banquet, but he rarely said it explicitly, and it was between this false and real temptation and speculation that the tacit understanding between the master and the servant gradually became solid.

"You wait for me here for a while, I'll go to Gonggong Jia to confirm a few things, and I'll come back to you later." Bao Yuan said softly, "Don't run around." ”

Bai Ling nodded in agreement, and the treasure duck quickly went forward.

In the distance, Bai Ling also saw Jia Yuchun's figure, he was bent on his back, and he was leading a group of palace people through the shadows of the woods. This kind of small banquet is not to the extent that he can't be busy, so Jia Yuchun has to go through almost everything himself, so as not to make any mistakes.

Bao Yuan quickly caught up with Jia Yuchun, and the two talked for a while, and then walked towards the deeper part of the Imperial Garden together.

Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to support his waist.

Now wearing the robe of the medicine, she has no sense of restraint here, this is probably the so-called ten thousand people like a sea of hidden, a girl in palace clothes here basically will not arouse anyone's ideas, tonight she was originally here to be a bystander.

Bai Ling slowly looked around at everything in front of him, and in this spark where faint human voices were heard on all sides, and women laughed softly from time to time, there were bright and moving young faces everywhere.

They gathered in groups of three to talk, walking slowly through the cloisters and gardens, and speaking warmly when they saw each other.

A pair of eyes with a slight spring wave, a slender waist and light steps, and a smile with the delicacy of a noblewoman.

Bai Ling's heart was slightly embarrassed - there are so many girls here who don't look much older than her, at most fourteen or fifteen years old?

And Emperor Jianxi is an old man who is almost sixty......

The picture of "a pear blossom pressing a begonia" inexorably appeared in Bai Ling's mind, which made her feel a chill. She withdrew her gaze, gently rubbed the goosebumps on her arms with both hands, turned her head away from the warbler in front of her, and looked into the distance on the other side of the corridor.

There is a stone tablet standing on the shore of the small lake in the Imperial Garden, on which the three big characters of "Chunming Lake" are written vigorously.

It is probably the boundary of this garden party, because there are no more lanterns or flowers outside, and it is a boundless dark palace.

Through the slight swaying waves, Bai Ling saw a woman in red leaning against the willow tree behind the stone monument, gently bowing her head and peeling her nails.

Compared to the other crowds here, it was as if a cold barrier had opened around her, no one had spoken to her, and she didn't look up at anyone, just rubbing her fingertips with an indifferent expression, as if the world around her had nothing to do with her.

As soon as Bai Ling's gaze fell on her, he felt that he couldn't move it anymore.

This woman who hiberns in the darkness exudes an aura that is different from everyone else here. Even if there was no one around her to watch, there was still some unspeakable charm in her body.

This feeling...... It's like stumbling into a bright dahlia in the rainforest.

As if sensing Bai Ling's gaze, the woman suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Bai Ling.

Although Bai Ling was a little surprised, he did not panic at all.

The woman slowly curled the corners of her lips, smiled at Bai Ling, and even bowed slightly.

Bao Yuan came back at this time, and she shouted Bai Ling from a distance, and Bai Ling looked back.

"I've asked clearly, there's nothing special about this garden party tonight, it's still the old way of guessing the riddle and throwing the pot, and the mother will come after a while, let's take her to the table first." Bao Yuan quickly finished explaining the matter, "Anything else should be fine, do you understand?" ”

"Understood." Bai Ling nodded and said, "That's right...... Inquire with Sister Baoyuan. ”

"Who?"

Bai Ling turned around slightly, and gestured to the direction of Bao Yuan with his eyes, "The woman standing under the willow tree over there, does Sister Bao Yuan recognize who it is?" ”

Bao Yuan: "Huh? With a sigh, he raised his eyes to look.

Following the direction indicated by Bai Ling's eyes, Bao Yuan's gaze searched carefully several times - the willow tree behind the stele was empty, only the weeping willow with new sprouts swaying in the wind on the water surface.

"Huh." Bai Ling also found that the person was gone, and she was a little surprised, "It was still there just now, a woman in a red dress, and it was gone all of a sudden." ”

"Don't mess around, little kids." Bao Yuan was furious by Bai Ling's words, and glanced at the weeping willows by the lake with some concern.

After repeatedly confirming that there was indeed no human figure, Bao Yuan's throat moved, reached out to cover Bai Ling's eyes, and turned her body to her side, "...... Don't see anything unclean. ”
