Volume 1 The author becomes a cannon fodder female supporting role Chapter 123 On the palace banquet, danger is rife
"But the family of the imperial merchants, the one who was the prime minister in previous generations?" Among the women seated, there was a petite woman suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly said.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the eyes of the other women fell on Ye Hanyue, and she had no choice but to smile and nod with her usual face in embarrassment.
"Well, exactly."
All the women showed their original looks, and then they no longer looked at Ye Hanyue, but followed the previous topic and found the person who had just spoken, and went to chat.
Ye Hanyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she knew very little about the situation of the Shu family, fortunately, these women were not as gossipy as some women in modern times, she was glad, she turned her head and wanted to observe the situation outside the pergola, but she didn't know that on this side, she saw the first woman who talked to her before, staring at her face like a torch.
She was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes to hide the panic on her face, made a shy posture that Shu Qingci often hung on her face, and asked softly: "This sister looks at me like this, but what's wrong with me?"
Although she feels unaccustomed to this ancient's speech, she is Shu Qingci at the moment, and all unaccustomed things have to be done as habits.
"There's nothing wrong with it, my sister has a graceful posture, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque like a dream, it's just ......" The woman praised a few words first, and then suddenly stopped talking, "My sister is so pitiful, how can she show people with this veil?" ”
After the woman asked curiously, she suddenly covered her mouth and smiled apologetically, and added.
"Sister, don't blame, I've always been curious, if it's inconvenient for my sister to say, just because I didn't say it."
Ye Hanyue looked at the woman, and then her eyes moved half a minute without a trace, and sure enough, the women sitting at the table were secretly looking at her at the moment, and it seemed that they were all curious about why she was wearing a veil.
Lowering her eyes and sinking slightly, Ye Hanyue covered her lips, and explained in a weak voice: "Sister doesn't know, the weather has turned cold in recent days, and I accidentally contracted the wind cold, which is very easy to infect others, so before leaving, I put this veil on."
After she explained a few words, she coughed twice in a pretended low voice.
As soon as the curious young ladies heard that she had a cold and would be contagious, they immediately hung their heads and stopped paying attention to her.
Ye Hanyue looked around at everyone, and her delicate lips hidden in the veil were secretly raised, so good, no one would stare at her veil anymore.
Half an hour later, the Queen Mother and the Emperor sat at the highest place of the banquet platform in the crowd of people cheering and cheering, and after everyone knelt down and saluted, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet officially began.
In order not to let people notice herself, Ye Hanyue tried to slow down her movements as much as possible, whether she was eating or talking, but fortunately, no one found out her true identity in the middle of the banquet.
"You can see, the emperor's expression must be displeased with the little prince's tardiness."
"Yes, for such an important occasion, why is the little prince still late?"
Ye Hanyue was drinking tea with her head down, and when she heard this, she looked up at the woman who had just spoken, and asked, "This sister, which little prince are you talking about?"
"Since you think you are the little prince of the Three Kings' Mansion, you won't know who he is." The woman who replied flashed a look of disdain in her eyes, and then turned her head sideways and continued to mutter to the woman who had just spoken to her.
Ye Hanyue looked at the woman, but she wasn't angry, she just ......
She moved her gaze to the top of the banquet, and looked back and forth, and indeed did not see the figure of Huangfu Xiu among the guests, but she noticed a man who was in the first place of the emperor and the first of the officials.
If she guessed correctly, this should be the crown prince of the dynasty and the worst villain in her pen, Huangfu Xiuxuan, and now in the entire Daning Dynasty, I am afraid that only he can sit in that position.
Seeing that the people knew what was going on, Ye Hanyue quickly recalled the setting of the Huangfu Xiuxuan in the original book, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
If she could, she really wanted to write this Huangfu Xiuxuan directly, but now it's good, such a dark and radical character is a few meters away from her, maybe she will face her head-on in the future, thinking about it like this, Ye Hanyue really feels that God let her soul penetrate here to be abused.
Sighing secretly, she was distraught, so she blessed everyone present, and found an excuse to leave the banquet platform.
The guests who participated in the birthday banquet were free to enjoy themselves in the imperial garden, Ye Hanyue was bored, so she had to go to the imperial garden to find a secluded place to ponder her own affairs.
Fortunately, Qing'er, who was following her, was not a talkative person, so she didn't deliberately find a reason to leave her where she was, but only let her follow behind her.
There will probably be shade in the imperial garden, Ye Hanyue stepped on the shadow of the tree under her feet, lowered her head and thought about why this Huangfu Xiu was late, while slowly walking forward, suddenly, her forehead suddenly hurt, and she took a step back.
"Be careful."
Before she could react to what was going on, she saw that her arm was suddenly grabbed and she stood firm, and when she looked up, she realized that she was thinking too much about it, and she had hit someone, and she was still a person who shouldn't have been bumped into.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Suppressing the unhappiness in her heart, she hurriedly withdrew her arm and bowed on her knees. "His Royal Highness the Prince, the people just saw the beautiful scenery in this imperial garden, and they didn't know that they bumped into His Highness for a while, and they hoped that His Highness would atone for their sins."
This man really couldn't stand the chatter, didn't he just sit on the banquet and talk eloquently? In the blink of an eye, he walked in front of her.
This person is the most insidious and narrow-minded, but don't just cure her sin.
Huangfu Xiuxuan stared at the delicate woman with a veil in front of him, when he was hit, he was originally angry and wanted to reprimand the comer, but when he looked back, he was not the eunuch who followed, but the daughter of such a graceful figure.
He knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how can he lose his demeanor as the prince of Daning Kingdom in front of this beauty.
Standing with his hands tied, he smiled lightly and said in a gentle tone, "Get up."
Ye Hanyue straightened up at this time, but she still lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and didn't look at the emperor Xiuxuan, for fear that he would be a little interested.
"Which young lady are you, why does this prince look at you very much?"
The woman kept hanging her head before the Huangfu Xiuxuan met, and secretly laughed in her heart that the woman was shy, not as bold as their men, but the secret smile was a secret smile, and he still liked this kind of easily shy woman very much in his heart.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the folk girl is the daughter of the Shu family, a merchant in the city."
Ye Hanyue reported her identity concisely, although her face was not impatient or impatient, and her tone was good, but she had already scolded Huangfu Xiuxuan in her heart.
"Hmm......" Huangfu Xiuxuan sighed meaninglessly, and then his eyes deepened, and he looked at the woman in front of him carefully.
The Shu family in the capital is a family of three generations of imperial merchants, and the daughter of their family, oh, is worthy of being a young lady from a rich family, and this demeanor is not lost to the daughters of those ministers in the court, but it is a pity that they don't understand the world.
Ye Hanyue didn't know how many meanings there were in Huangfu Xiuxuan's light words, but she didn't dare to make a mistake at this moment, so she had to hang her head and wait for Huangfu Xiuxuan to say something to let her go.
"The singing and dancing will start on the stage of this banquet, and if the young lady doesn't want to miss it, she should return immediately." Huangfu Xiuxuan looked at it for a moment, and suddenly chuckled, the meaning of his words was clearly to invite Ye Hanyue back to the banquet.
Ye Hanyue couldn't hear it, but she didn't want to go with him, so she was busy and blessed, and her face was a little unspeakable.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the maiden is a little unwell, and she wants to sit in this imperial garden for a while."
"That's it, there are many palace maids and eunuchs in this imperial garden, if you are really uncomfortable, let them go to the banquet platform to find the prince."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
Ye Hanyue lowered her eyes and saluted again, her lowered eyes were full of disdain, if it weren't for the palace at this moment, she really couldn't help but want to scold.
She is unwell and asks him to do anything, and if she loses her good heart, her heart will be different.
Huangfu Xiuxuan looked at her two more times, and then walked towards the banquet platform from the road she had just come.
"Satsuki...... Miss, that's His Royal Highness the Prince, he will be the emperor in the future, why don't you know how to say a few words of compliment. ”
Ye Hanyue raised her head, and as soon as she watched Huangfu Xiuxuan leave her sight, she listened to Qing'er on the side, muttering in her ear with dissatisfaction.
She glanced sideways at her, chuckled disapprovingly, and then lifted her feet to continue walking on her own.
Qing'er glared at her resentfully behind her, and then followed.
Not long after the two left, Huangfu Xiuxuan, who was supposed to have appeared on the banquet platform, showed his body from behind the flowers at the end of the path.
He looked at Miss Shu's family who was standing tall and walking not far away, and suddenly a smile suddenly appeared in his dark black eyes, as if he was full of interest in the person he was watching.
"Arrange a person to check the situation of this Miss Shu."
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."
Ye Hanyue stayed in the imperial garden for a while, and she didn't dare to stay any longer, after all, Huangfu Xiuxuan had already said just now that singing and dancing had begun to be performed on the banquet stage, and if she didn't return to the pergola for a long time, she was afraid that it would make people suspicious.
Returning to the banquet platform along the same road, she subconsciously glanced at the first place in the banquet platform, her eyes lit up slightly, and then lowered her eyes and entered the pergola.
"Little Wangye, Miss Shu is back."
Because Shunfeng was standing, and he was specially instructed by Huangfu Xiu, as soon as Ye Hanyue returned to the banquet platform, he saw it at a glance.
Huangfu corrected his desire to drink, and after listening to the words in his ear, he put the wine glass in his hand back again, raised his eyes and looked down, although he didn't see his face, but with his figure, he still quickly found Ye Hanyue.
After a casual glance, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the wine glass again without showing a look, and drank it indifferently, and his mood seemed to be very good.
