Chapter 102: Distraction
I walked back slowly in the imperial garden, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the past bowed their heads and greeted me one by one, but I was "respectful" to me.
It didn't take long for me to hear a burst of laughter. I looked up and saw a group of people sitting at the end of the promenade next to a rockery in the imperial garden, and a large number of eunuchs and eunuchs stood on both sides, looking very lively.
I stood there and watched for a moment, just as I was about to sneak over, when I saw another gaze that happened to me, and I wanted to avoid it too late, so I could only nod at it.
As the cheerful voice and a galloping figure drew closer and closer to me, I was already in place, bowing my head and saying hello.
"Say hello to the county lord of Tingxiang."
Sisi hurriedly pulled me up and said coquettishly: "Now even you are making fun of me!" I looked up and saw that the smile was full of thick rouge, which was very different from the previous Yang Sisi.
Sisi didn't pay attention to my look, she pointed to the people in the pavilion and said, "Quick, let's go over quickly, they are still waiting for us." β
I broke free of her hand, glanced at the pavilion and shook my head: "Forget it, I... I feel a little unwell and want to go back to rest first. β
"What's wrong? Do you need to call the imperial doctor to help you take a look? She put her hand on my forehead and asked with concern.
I let go of her hand: "No need, just rest for a while, you can go back quickly."
Seeing that I was so shirking, Sisi had to nod reluctantly, and when I left, he told me to rest more. I perfunctorily agreed to her, urging her to hurry back.
I bowed down to the people in the pavilion, said hello, and then turned around and walked back. I hadn't taken a few steps before someone blocked my way.
"It's a coincidence that you're here too!" The dress of the visitor already showed his prominent status, and I sighed softly helplessly, thinking that I was really afraid of something.
"General Shen, don't come unharmed. I didn't finish my apology, and he interrupted it.
"Let's go, Sisi is still waiting for us~" He waved his hand to me impatiently, pulled me and dragged me in the direction of the pavilion.
I really didn't want to see those people, so I explained to him for a long time with an excuse, but he didn't listen to me, and dragged me to the pavilion.
Now I really have no choice but to bite the bullet and say to everyone: "Chu Xinyuan asks the emperor for peace, long live the emperor." β
My body that had just been blessed had not paused for a second and had been lifted up, and it was Shen Yu in front of me, and at this time, a palace maid had already moved a chair next to Sisi, and I naturally knew that it was for Shen Yu.
I took a small step to the side, but before I could stand firmly, Shen Yu pressed me on the chair in front of everyone, put one hand on my shoulder, and said to everyone with a smile: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I'm late~"
I had no choice but to sit down with a stiff body, and then Shen Yu also sat down beside me. In this way, my left is Sisi, my right is Shen Yu, opposite is Xiao Ziling and **, and the emperor and the imperial concubine are at our top, and the atmosphere is embarrassing for a while.
I sat in my chair and kept my head down and stared directly at the embroidered tablecloth in front of me, my mind empty, and I didn't want to think about anything.
Although it was outside, the smell of rouge still covered up a lot of the floral fragrance outside. Everyone in the pavilion was chatting and laughing, but I was the only one who was silent. Probably because I was too silent, Shen Yu couldn't help but kick my feet and motioned for me to blend in.
I was extremely reluctant, holding back the anger in my belly, and when I saw him kick me, I couldn't hold back for a while, and kicked him a few times. He seemed to be competing with me and responded to me.
Naturally, these small actions of ours could not escape the eyes of everyone. Just when we were having fun, there were already people who were unhappy.
"Shen Yu, you are not serious on weekdays, and now you are about to marry the county lord of Tingxiang, it's time to restrain yourself!" The tone that cannot be refuted can only be said by Xiao Ziling to be so domineering.
I was stunned when I heard the voice, and when I stopped, it happened that Shen Yu didn't control a heavy foot on my instep, and even his toes were extremely painful to be stepped on. I glared at him and couldn't help but lean down to touch the pain.
Shen Yu ignored Xiao Ziling, but leaned over and asked me in a low voice, "I... I didn't mean to, I thought you'd get out of the way. At the same time, my hand came along with the voice, and regardless of everyone's gaze, I took my foot directly in my hand and gently rubbed it.
I was so frightened that I tried to get out of the way, but because the gap in the seat was so small, I couldn't get him to let go of me no matter how I moved, so I could only say, "Let go!" You don't want to live! β
Shen Yu still went his own way, he not only calmly helped me rub my feet, but also said loudly: "I caused the disaster, presumably the county lord of Tingxiang does not want a husband who has no responsibility and cannot bear it in the future." β
I quietly looked up at the faces of everyone, the emperor had been drinking with the imperial concubine, and turned a deaf ear to his words. ** is a look of watching a good show, with an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth. Xiao Ziling didn't seem to care about the situation here at all, but there was already obvious displeasure in his voice just now, and Sisi... The corners of her eyes were already flashing, and the smile on her face was getting stiffer and stiffer.
I quickly kicked Shen Yu hard, and finally retracted my foot. I thought that if I stayed any longer, there would be a problem, and I was just about to stand up and say goodbye to everyone, but someone was already one step ahead of me.
"Your Majesty, the concubine, Sisi is unwell and wants to retire first."
When the imperial concubine heard this, she also walked over from her seat and said softly, "Where is the discomfort?" Do I need to call a doctor? β
Sisi shook her head slightly, gave me a resentful look before leaving, and then left with the two palace maids first. I knew that Sisi must have misunderstood me, so I hurriedly parted with everyone and quickly caught up with her.
"Sisi, Sisi!" I kept calling her name from behind, but she walked faster and faster, and didn't even pay attention to me. In desperation, I could only perform a light trick in front of her, and only then did I successfully kidnap her.
"Sisiβ" I called her in a low voice, and I could see that she was already very angry, and her round eyes glared at me viciously, as if I were her enemy.
"So you're not here to congratulate me, you're here to rob me of a man! What Sister Imperial Concubine said was really right, Chu Xinyuan, are you and Shen Yu already already..."She couldn't say any more, and her crying shook the earth.
