Chapter 162: Dark Shadows

The emperor was welcomed into the central hall by everyone to give a salute.

Guan Yong led calm to the inner hall, and after giving the national salute and repelling everyone, Guan Yong stepped forward and hugged calm. Sobbing softly.

"If you want to go, why don't you tell me how you're doing these days?" Calmly put his hands around her waist and asked softly.

Guan Yong put it down, pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed, took care of her up and down, and smiled: "It's getting richer and more glorious, and it's extravagant." ”

"If you don't want to say anything about me, I'm asking why you want to say goodbye?" Calmly deliberately put on a straight face and asked her.

Guan Yong lowered his eyes and cleared his throat: "I quarreled with my father, I really didn't want to live there anymore, so I came back overnight, this is my home, how good it is to live freely." Because I was in a hurry, I didn't notify you, so you won't blame me for something, right? ”

"Then why haven't you even written a letter for more than half a year?" Calmly asked again.

Guan Yong took her hand and said with a coquettish smile: "I just met, I haven't drunk a sip of cold tea and hot soup, so I questioned me like this, you are going to stay for a few days, and I will tell you slowly when I have time." ”

Calmly smiled: "I thought you refused to write to me because I was not good to Queen Guan and was angry with me in my heart." ”

"What are you talking about, you don't know, I'm with her, it's my mother's, I didn't live together when I was young, I didn't have affection and no feelings, what does her business have to do with me?" Guan Yong said with a smile.

"Hearing you say that, I'm relieved, I've been nervous these days, afraid that you will blame me, afraid of losing your only friend." Calm down.

Guan Yong stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, put his head on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "How come, don't be stupid, quickly change your clothes, and wash the dust for you in a while, you are used to eating big fish and meat, and you can also taste these rural game, which is also unique." ”

"Then I want to eat more, don't say it, you don't know, the things in the palace are not delicious, but we are not allowed to cook privately, occasionally let the girls go out to buy some, and they have to eat secretly, not happy, I look forward to coming out to have a good time." Calm down.

Guan Yong stretched out his hand and touched her belly, and smiled teasingly: "You are so squeezing, is there any movement here?" ”

"What can I do, I haven't slept with him yet." Calm down.

"What?! Are you talking nonsense? Guan Yong jumped up and shouted.

"Your reaction is a bit excessive, what are you doing so nervous about my affair with him?" Calmly squinted and smiled.

Guan Yongzhong sat down on the edge of the bed again, and laughed slightly embarrassedly: "What do I have to be nervous about, I just think it's strange, you have been a concubine for some time, how can it be that you haven't slept together until now, doesn't he dislike you?" ”

"He didn't dislike me, but I disliked him, so I found a reason to live in Miaoyin Temple." Calmly sighed, took a washed fruit from the table and nibbled it, disgusted with the sourness, and threw it back into the fruit bowl.

"I'm really crazy, I'm going to be by you, don't you like him? When he lived in the cold palace, didn't you tell me that he understood your heart and your thoughts better than Sima Nan? Guan Yong poked her forehead fiercely and said angrily.

"I was wrong, I was eating in the bowl, thinking about the pot, and when there was no in the bowl, I suddenly realized that the pot was not my dish at all." Calmly sighed with a sad face.

Guan Yong looked at her steadily, snorted for a long time, and sneered: "I really didn't expect that you would be a person who is in the twilight." ”

"Whatever you say, anyway, I regret it to death now, if I am given another chance to choose, I don't care about the identity of a fugitive, what wandering in the world is not a stable life, I will definitely let him take me away, according to my wisdom and his bravery, no matter what kind of pursuit the first emperor has, he can escape."

Calmly fell on the bed, sighing heavily.

Guan Yong's eyes straightened, his face was sad, and he was speechless for a while.

There are girls going back and forth outside, the banquet has been prepared, and the banquet has already been opened in front, and I asked the ladies inside Guan Yong when they can start the banquet.

Guan Yong went out to answer her, walked back again, and urged calm to quickly change his clothes and enter the table.

Calmly changed his clothes, and said with a smile: "Your face is a little sad, why is it?" Feel sorry for me? Or do you think I'm mean and feel cheated on my feelings? ”

"Don't fart, what's so sad, it's just nervous, receiving such a big thing as the Son of Heaven, if something goes wrong, you will lose your head." Guan Yongdao.

Spread his hands calmly and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, with me, even if you fight for this life, I won't let you have an accident." ”

Guan Yong let out a long sigh, although he forced a happy face, his face was clearly stunned.

After calmly washing up and changing her clothes, Guan Yongfang took her seriously, bowed down and led her out of the door, and walked towards the flower hall where the banquet was held in front.

Calmly walking, suddenly goosebumps appeared on her body, she turned her head quickly, and a black shadow flashed on the roof of the main house where she had stayed just now, and disappeared without a trace.

Calmly turned his head to look at Guan Yong.

Guan Yong pretended not to know and continued to walk forward.

"Guan Yong, we've known each other for a long time, don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, you must have seen the black shadow just now." Calmly whispered.

"Mother, it's just a goose flying in the sky, why make a fuss." Guan Yong replied.

"I'm not so confused that I don't distinguish between humans and animals, and I'm not old enough to see things clearly, so you don't use words to fool me." Calmly continued to question.

"Niangniang thinks it's a tiring journey, tired and dizzy, the emperor is here, and there are all strong guards with martial arts within a radius of ten miles, who do you say can be mixed in? Impossible, don't think about it, it's just a goose. Guan Yong replied categorically.

Calmly shut up, not wanting to argue with her anymore.

She said this, and naturally she had a reason for saying it.

But calmly believe in her eyes, what she sees is obviously a person.

Guan Yong has to defend this person, and naturally she has reasons to defend this person.

At the same time, there is also a trace of fear in the calm heart, this person's martial arts are really brilliant, the village has been guarded by the guards, hundreds of soldiers are divided into ten squads, patrolling in turns, there is no break in between.

Isn't it scary that he can come and go freely with such a tight guard?

But Guan Yong doesn't seem to be afraid at all.

Guan Yong helped him calmly into the flower hall, and the relatives of the government and the squires and village women who were accompanying the guests all knelt on the ground, and gave a salute.

Some are generous, some are trembling, and so on.

Calm let them flatten down and sit back in their seats, without formality, but some sadness rose in their hearts.

Human beings are born unequal, and lowliness and nobility seem to be innate, and they must accompany them for life.

The purpose of our hard work is to one day become a superior person, get more wealth than others, and have a higher status than others.

But when all this is obtained, he often forgets his original intention and makes himself even more unhappy.

Happiness is sometimes nothing more than a mood, it has nothing to do with wealth, it has nothing to do with status, it has nothing to do with one's own thoughts.

Calm is now in a very high status, rich and rivals the country, but she doesn't feel happier than in the Huanyi Bureau, on the contrary, she is now even beginning to miss those days in the Huanyi Bureau, although she has lived a hard life, but she does not have so many troubles and resentments now.

"Niangniang, try this salad bracken, it's the sweet and sour flavor you like."

Guan Yong opened his chopsticks first, took a strip of bracken and sent it to the bowl in front of him.

Calmly picked it up and ate it, nodded and smiled, and praised it for being delicious.

Everyone sitting there peeked at her, and when they saw her praising the delicious food, Fang Du raised his chopsticks with relief and began to eat.

Suddenly changed the taste, felt novel, and had a much better appetite, so she calmly ate an extra spoonful of rice, because of her lazy and unshelf-free state, which made the atmosphere at the banquet much better.

A few official wives who had seen the world spoke out to flatter her clothes and jewelry or introduce the fun and delicious places around, calmly followed their words, asked a few words, and these people were as excited as if they had picked up a treasure, and they became more and more talkative.

Listening calmly and interestingly, I only heard a commotion outside, and it seemed that people were shouting: Catch the assassin.

Guan Yong, who was smiling and calming down the vegetables, suddenly turned gray, and a pigeon egg that he had just picked up fell back into the soup on the plate with a "bang", splashing the thick juice on the face of the calm man sitting next to him.

"The concubine deserves to die, beg the mother for forgiveness." Guan Yong threw away his chopsticks and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Nan You and a few palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to help calm down.

calmly dismissed them, wiped her face with a handkerchief, pulled her up, and said with a smile: "What a big deal, you are so shocked that they don't know how powerful and mean I am." ”

Guan Yong stood up and hung his head, his face crimson because of panic barely covered the look of dead and uneasy on his face.

The commotion outside continued, and the shouts of "Catch the Assassin" continued one after another.

The crimson color on Guan Yong's face quickly receded and became extremely pale.

"Guan Yong, go out and see what's going on, don't you be a servant in your Zhuangzi who broke in and was taken by the guards as an assassin?" Smiled calmly.

Guan Yong agreed, and quickly ran out of the flower hall.

One of the official wives stood up, shook her sleeves and knelt on the ground, and smiled calmly: "Niangniang is really a man of heaven and earth, and she is not afraid of danger, which is admirable.

The concubine thinks that what Niangniang said is right, people in the countryside don't know the rules, and it is very likely that they will be treated as assassins by the guards if they break into the world. ”

"That's right, you don't have to be afraid, continue to eat ours, what's your name, get up, sit next to me, the scenery you just talked about is very interesting to the palace, it is free, I will go to see it, I don't know if you are free, when the time comes, go with the palace?"

Calmly stretched out his hand and pointed to the lady who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile.

When the lady heard this, she was overjoyed, she stood up with her clothes, bowed twice, and then came over, sat sideways beside Calm, raised a chopstick dish for Calm, and said with a smile: "The concubine's maiden surname is Fang, and her maiden name is Fang Ting, and she married her parents in this county as her wife, and her surname is Liu Fang's, if she doesn't dislike it, just call her concubine Fang Ting." ”

Looking at her calmly, her life is not very beautiful, but because of her generous attitude and calm and virtuous demeanor, it seems that she is more pleasing to the eye than those beauties sitting there.

"Niangniang, you are interested in the snowstorm and broken bridge that the concubine said, it is really a great honor for the concubine, when does the concubine want to go, just let someone call the concubine, and the concubine will take the concubine to go." Fang Ting said again with a spring breeze on her face.

Nodded yes calmly and thanked her.

Fang Ting was about to speak again, only to hear Guan Yong's high-pitched and excited voice from the courtyard behind: "You can't search here, this is the couch of the concubine, you can't search it!" ”
