Section 230 Palace Banquet (1)
The early morning sun shines through the window lattice, pouring on the snow-white bedding, and the crisp chirping of birds comes from outside, and there is a faint fragrance from the side.
Moon Shadow turned her head, and on the small tablet at the head of the bed, there was a delicate crystal vase with a bouquet of red flowers inside...... Rose.
"Vulgar!"
She pouted, lifted the covers, went barefoot to the window, and pushed the sash open...... A breath of fresh air hits your face.
"As soon as I entered the Houmen, it was as deep as the sea, and after only one night, I felt like a bird in a cage, and I don't know why so many people sharpened their heads and drilled into the palace." Moon Shadow muttered, turning to sit down at the dresser.
Hey, it's familiar, she looked at the side of the dresser, and sure enough, it had a dragon logo...... Genuine Hawai'i.
This is the second time that he has been summoned by the Queen Mother, but it is ...... Things are not people, this queen mother is not the queen mother, I didn't expect that the queen mother Mo Lin is very talented as a Tang monk, so she dragged her to chatter for most of the night, and finally had to stay in the palace.
Being invited by the Queen Mother to stay overnight is a kind of honor, although Moon Shadow doesn't care, there is no need to disobey the Queen Mother for this little thing, anyway, she will attend the banquet the next day, and she will just leave when she is done.
Straightening her hair briefly, Moon Shadow was about to change her clothes when she heard a soft knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
Moon Shadow thought it was a female official in the palace, and said casually.
The door was softly opened, but there was no sound, and she turned her head strangely, only to see Roland standing in the doorway. Holding a bouquet of roses in his hand, he looked at her with a smile on his face.
Moon Shadow's brows furrowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I haven't changed my clothes yet, please go out first and close the door with your hand." ”
Roland probably didn't expect that Moon Shadow had just gotten up, and the smile on his face became a little embarrassed: "Huh...... I'm sorry, but I'm picking flowers for you, I hope you like it! ”
With that, place the flowers on the cabinet next to the door. hurriedly turned away, and almost collided with the oncoming female officer.
"Your Majesty......"
The female official's name was Lin Ya, and she was sent by the Empress Dowager to serve Moon Shadow, and she was startled to see that the person she almost bumped into turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor.
"Ahem...... Serve Miss Alice well. ”
Roland commanded, raised his face, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lin Ya and the two palace maids behind him bowed and saluted, and only straightened up when they couldn't see Roland's back. Walk in the door.
"Cheesy!"
Moon Shadow was shaking her head at the bouquet of roses, how could a girl not like flowers, but she preferred those quiet and elegant, and most importantly, she didn't like those who plucked flowers and grass and held them in their hands to make flesh...... You have your own flesh, why bother to trample with these plants!
Lin Ya motioned to the two palace maids behind her to step forward and said, "Lord Earl, please change your clothes." "Changing clothes?
Moon Shadow looked at what the two palace maids were holding, and was speechless for a while.
A palace maid is holding an extremely gorgeous palace dress. The other palace maid was entrusted with a set of exquisite jewelry, earrings, necklaces......
"Lin Ya, I have my own clothes."
Moon Shadow pulls out a new set of magic robes from her bracelet and puts it on herself.
"No, this is what His Majesty ordered, you must wear it!"
Lin Ya's tone was extremely blunt. I guess I've been living in the palace for a long time. Ignoring the identity of the Moon Shadow Mage.
Moon Shadow smiled slightly: "That was ordered by His Majesty, and it has no effect on me." Well, if you still have objections, please consult with it. ”
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a white skeleton soldier suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ya, his jaws swaying back and forth, as if smiling at her.
Lin Ya and the two palace maids were stunned by this sudden thing. After a while. Three shrill calls suddenly sounded, and the birds that were chirping outside the window were so frightened that they flapped their wings and rushed away. The royal guards had just passed through the doorway, showing their weapons and rushing in.
"What happened, Lord Earl?"
Looking at the three female officers who had fainted to the ground, an officer asked a little nervously---- Moon Shadow had already sent the skeleton soldiers back to the underworld first, and he didn't see the real culprit who caused the scene in front of him.
"I don't know, they're probably hallucinating. Moon Shadow shrugged and said innocently.
The status of a mage is transcendent, although the royal family canonized a knighthood to her, it does not mean that she can be controlled, for magicians, that title is more symbolic, and Moon Shadow does not mind that His Majesty the Emperor has any displeasure. As for the family...... Roland may exert some pressure, but he doesn't dare to really take the Warren family, after all, her identity is there, the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Life and the disciple of the Great Magister, which title is enough to make the king of a country ponder again and again.
If the coma of these three female officials has nothing to do with the innocent female magician in front of them, the officer will not believe it if he is killed, but he also knows that Moon Shadow is a guest personally invited by Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and His Majesty the Emperor has repeatedly asked for good life protection, so ...... The officer thought for a while, and could only order the soldiers to move the three female officers away.
"General, please take these things away, maybe it has something to do with their coma." Moon Shadow said, pointing to the palace outfit and a plate of jewelry.
"Uh...... Good. ”
The officer looked at the things suspiciously, and ordered the soldiers to do the same.
After the guards left, Moon Shadow closed the door and repented fiercely: Moon Shadow, Moon Shadow, you are simply too bad!
There was still some time before the banquet, so Moon Shadow ate a few pieces of tea and snacks, and simply hid out.
Thinking that she had just compared with those female officials, she felt a little bored--- they were also acting on orders, so why bother making them embarrassed.
There were also a few royal guards guarding outside, and when they saw her come out, they just wanted to follow behind. But she glared back---- a cyan whirlwind swirled in her hand, and it was foolish to provoke a magician, but fortunately, His Majesty did not order a strict guard, and the guards honestly stood back in the distance, staring at the sky with blazing eyes.
From the perspective of the palace environment, it has not been affected by civil strife, and the garden is full of flowers, a charming scene.
Everyone in the palace has a job, and there is no one like her. Moon Shadow strolled as she walked towards the hall where she remembered the banquet taking place.
Just turning a path, a familiar voice rang out: "Miss Alice." ”
Bitter also!
As soon as Moon Shadow turned her head, she saw Roland with a surprised face.
"Your Majesty, what a coincidence!"
Moon Shadow grinned, sort of a smile, and performed a mage salute.
"Coincidentally, it's a coincidence, well, why didn't you put me on...... The clothes that the Queen Mother chose for you? "I saw that Moon Shadow was still wearing the same magic robe. A flash of loss flashed in Roland's eyes, and his face was a little uncertain.
Moon Shadow maintained a polite smile on her face, and replied without humility or arrogance, "Thank you for your kindness, but since I have chosen the profession of magician, the magic robe is my only clothing. ”
False! Even Moon Shadow herself felt contrived. Roland was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, very good......"
---- I guess he didn't even know what he was talking about.
While his mind was a little confused, Moon Shadow took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I want to go and see how the banquet is prepared, you must have a lot of things to do. I'll quit first. ”
She bowed slightly, and quickly exited before Roland could react.
By the time Roland reacted, he could only see the back of Moon Shadow.
"Miss Alice, I must invite you to do my first dance with me!" A smile appeared on Roland's face...... It's just that there are some complicated thoughts in his eyes.
When the Countess asks about Moonshadow's personal love life, she feels something is wrong. This is of course a mother's concern for her daughter. But there's no need to ask questions as soon as we meet.
It's just a pity that the queen mother's actions were too fast, and without waiting for the mother and daughter to say anything, they had already sent someone to invite her into the palace, and combined with the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor and the guards and palace maids, the purpose was self-evident.
However, someone's abacus is inevitably too fine, and my brother can't. Is it okay to be a younger brother?
What about the emperor of a country? Even if the Jade Emperor is here. Moon Shadow dared to say no to him!.
His Majesty the Emperor, who had a concern in his heart, did not go to prepare for the banquet, but went straight into the study. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother Merlin was waiting for him in the study. When the Empress Dowager Sophia was alive, the sharpness of the harem was almost completely suppressed by her, and it was not until the death of the Empress Dowager Sophia that Merlin appeared in front of the nobles, and her personality was completely different from that of the Empress Dowager Sophia. If the latter is a sharp sword, the former is a steel needle wrapped in a heavy layer of cotton.
"Queen Mother...... How did you end up here? Roland asked, somewhat surprised.
Merlin didn't like to meddle in politics as much as Sophia, and she wouldn't easily go to this study to deal with official business.
"Roland, the purpose of this banquet, all the ministers know, originally, I don't want to interfere in your own life's affairs, but, seeing that you don't move, I'm really anxious as a mother, here are a few portraits, as well as their names and backgrounds, you study them carefully, there will always be a suitable one." Merlin said with a smile, and the female officer next to her placed more than ten painting scrolls on the table, and then unfolded them one by one.
"Mother, these people...... Did you invite them all to this party? Roland's face flushed slightly.
"Yes, these people are well-bred and come from illustrious families." Merlin said.
"Mother cares so much, and the son is very grateful, but ......" Roland stopped talking.
Merlin sighed and waved her hand to signal all the female officers around her to go out.
Then he said softly: "Roland, I know that you like the girl in Warren's family, but that child is wild and untamable, if you want to use the power behind her, you can use other methods to marry...... I'm afraid it's not easy. ”
Roland said angrily: "I don't believe it, she dares to refuse my invitation in public." ”
Huh!
Looking at Roland's childish expression, Merlin shook her head, there are many ways to refuse a person, but ...... Let Your Majesty try it.
