18. Encounter with Concubine Yu
When the meal was finished, the sky was already dark, and only a bright moon hung in the sky.
The maids carried lanterns and walked around, and the light of the lanterns was like candles in Lu Yanyue's eyes, humble and fragile. At this moment, the palace road also seems endlessly long.
Lu Yanyue followed Chen Chenyi's side without saying a word, somehow, it seemed that as long as she was by Chen Chenyi's side, Lu Yanyue felt endlessly down-to-earth.
"Not curious?" Chen Chen opened his mouth, breaking the silence, and at the same time slowed down his pace, and secretly glanced at Lu Yanyue with a side face.
"Huh?" Lu Yanyue didn't react to the meaning of Chen Chen's words.
"Before, weren't you curious about everything?" Chen Chen smiled lightly.
Lu Yanyue reacted, and when she sensed Chen Chenyi's ridicule of herself, she also smiled, and said with a tentative attitude: "I guess, it is not a trivial matter, but it can be determined as a happy event." ”
"Oh? Tell me about it? Chen Chenyi was full of curiosity about Lu Yanyue's words, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also a little stronger.
"First of all, at tonight's banquet, the people who arrived should be the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, right?" Lu Yanyue said, looking up at Chen Chenyi, after getting Chen Chenyi's affirmation. Lu Yanyue continued: "The Manchu Dynasty civil and military families gathered here, and the lineup is so big, can it be a trivial matter? ”
"What's the joy then?" Chen Chen looked at Lu Yanyue with a proud appearance, and the smile on his face couldn't stop pouring out.
"It's even simpler! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves his sister so much, how could he be willing to let His Royal Highness the Princess fall into crisis? Now that the princesses have entered the palace, it is definitely a happy event! After Lu Yanyue felt Chen Chenyi's affirmative gaze, her face couldn't help but show inner joy, and those glowing eyes were extremely bright at this moment.
"Did you guess what?" Chen Chen looked at Lu Yanyue and fell into fascination, since he heard Lu Yanyue analyze the identities of Su Su and Phantom Dance when he was in the grove, Chen Chen knew that Lu Yanyue was a person with great insight.
"I don't know what it is. But ......" Lu Yanyue said, stopped, pretended to mysteriously stop the unfinished words in her mouth, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was also a little moving.
"Huh?" Chen Chen looked at Lu Yanyue's somewhat naughty appearance, and his face was a little doting.
"I guess it's something to do with the draft!" Lu Yanyue's eyes reflected Chen Chenyi's expectant face.
Hearing Lu Yanyue's words, Chen Chenyi was not surprised, and pretended to be a little proud and said: "Not bad, yes, worthy of the person I Chen Chen fancied, smart!" ”
"That's a must!" Lu Yanyue heard Chen Chenyi praise himself like this, and the joy on her face was also overflowing.
"Young master, young lady." Just when the two of them were happy, the phantom dance beside them whispered a reminder. Lu Yanyue naturally didn't understand the intention of Phantom Dance, but as soon as Chen Chen's words fell, he immediately put away the smile on his face.
Seeing this, Lu Yanyue naturally didn't dare to ask more, and followed Chen Chenyi's side. Before he could take a few more steps, a faint light approached Lu Yanyue and his party.
When Lu Yanyue saw it, he couldn't help but admire Phantom Dance a little more, and he also understood the call of Phantom Dance's reminder just now.
"Concubine Yu." After getting closer, Chen Chen first raised his hand and hugged his fist and saluted, and Lu Yanyue followed the attendants around him to bow slightly.
"This is not Chenyi, why didn't you go back to the palace to rest so late?" After seeing Chen Chenyi clearly, Concubine Yu said in a gentle tone.
"With Lao Niangniang's love, Chen Yi is preparing to return to Yongshou Palace." Chen Chenyi replied.
"This is the girl that Chen Yi brought into the palace today?" After Concubine Yu saw Chen Chen clearly, her eyes stayed on Lu Yanyue, who had been standing behind Chen Chen with her head down.
Chen Chen glanced at Concubine Yu's gaze, and then at Lu Yanyue, nodded, and replied, "Yes." ”
"Raise your head and let Hongu take a look." Concubine Yu was still in a gentle tone, but there was a bit of non-refusal in her words, and Chen Chen was silent and didn't speak. When Lu Yanyue heard this, she slowly raised her head and looked in the direction where Concubine Yu was.
"It's a little exquisite, compared to those show girls, with the support of the general's mansion and the prince, it's really too good." Concubine Yu said, her gentle tone couldn't help but be plated with a layer of playfulness.
"Niangniang's words are a little bigger." When Lu Yanyue heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and Chen Chen's words made Lu Yanyue realize that the situation was not simple.
"Hey, look at this day, if you don't go back to the palace, I'm afraid the chickens will crow." Concubine Yu saw that Chen Chen's face was a little frosty, and she didn't say anything more, a little smug appeared on her face, and left straight in the direction of her own bedroom.
"What happened on the way here?" After Concubine Yu left, Chen Chen asked indifferently.
"Young Master Hui, I met a show girl before, it was not early, and the show girl thought that the people who called herself Miss were already at the banquet, so she spoke disrespectfully to Miss." Qiqi reported lightly.
"And after that?" Chen Chen frowned, thinking that the most important thing in this palace is gossip, although the status of the show girl is low, no matter how you say it, she can be regarded as the emperor's woman. Now that he has just entered the palace, he has provoked the show girl......
"Silai brought the princess jade pendant and came to lead the way, blocking the rudeness of the show girl." Qiqi omitted part of the content and replied briefly.
"Dusty ...... What can I do......" Lu Yanyue listened to the meaning of these words, and guessed that the show girl had spread the matter with added fuel and vinegar. The gossip in the palace is the only pleasure of those maids, and the gossip will become more and more unpleasant.
"It's okay, Phantom Dance, go take care of this." Chen Chen frowned and glanced at Lu Yanyue, then raised his brows and said calmly.
"Yes." Phantom Dance agreed, and was about to leave, when Chen Chenyi reminded again: "Be careful in everything, after all, this is the palace." ”
"Understood." Watching the phantom dance disappear into the night, Lu Yanyue had an indescribable feeling in her heart, if she put herself on it, Lu Yanyue might be able to face it calmly.
But this matter will involve Chen Chenyi because of himself. Song Anxiao is the crown prince after all, and he is protected by the queen, and Chen Chenyi is too dangerous in comparison......
"Okay, you are good, let's go back to the palace to rest for one night, and wake up tomorrow, it's a new day. I heard the attendant say, you haven't even been out of the Song Mansion for the past few days? Chen Chen noticed the change in Lu Yanyue's mood and wanted to divert Lu Yanyue's attention.
"Hmm." Lu Yanyue replied coldly.
"What? Do you think the capital is not fun? ”
"No, I just don't want to go out. I ate and slept every day, and the days of sleeping and eating were good. Lu Yan Yueyun said lightly, but she was still worried in her heart.
