Chapter 3 Before the Troublemaker
Before going out, I said that my body had not recovered and that I was always coughing, so I brought a veil into the palace.
In this way, with a worried heart, I followed them into the palace.
Unexpectedly, in order to welcome the arrival of the seven nights of a hundred miles, the emperor actually laid a red cloth of about fifty meters at the city gate, and it seems that Mocheng still spent a lot of thought in order to welcome His Royal Highness the Night King of the Li Kingdom.
We were probably the last to enter the palace, because when we got out of the carriage, we saw that many carriages had been parked outside the city gates, and on both sides of the road, the people were cheering.
Presumably, today's palace banquet is bound to be grander than grand, and officials of all sizes in Meuse will be present.
I looked around left and right and found that I didn't see the carriage sign of the Qing Palace, didn't Yan Beishen return to Mocheng?
"Sister, why are you still stunned, let's go, I can't imagine that the palace here is really better than ours!"
Yan Yan's big mouth should say what to say and what not to say, she didn't say it all without thinking about it, I quickly covered her mouth, "Yan Yan, this is the palace, don't talk nonsense." ”
At this time, at the gate of the city, a person dressed as a eunuch suddenly greeted him and said in a loud voice, "It's His Royal Highness the Night King, go this way, the emperor said, let the slave family wait for you here." ”
Isn't this the father-in-law who has been serving by the emperor's side? I didn't expect him to come out to greet us, it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to Baili Qiye.
As soon as we stepped into the gate, we heard a new carriage outside.
"It's a coincidence that His Royal Highness the Night King is ahead, it's a coincidence that all the hours of entering the palace are rushed together, so it's better to sit down with this prince."
What is the idea of Yan Zituo?
However, at this time, Baili Qiye said with a straight face, "Then trouble His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Because it is summer, the sky is still a little bright, and the palace is not yet lit.
The strange thing is that Beixi didn't follow Yan Zituo into the palace today.
"Why don't you see the crown princess, although today it is said that it is to hold a banquet for the king, but in fact, the royal family is not all borrowing this kind of reason to get together?"
Yan Zituo stepped forward and said, "The crown princess occasionally feels cold, and in recent days, it is inconvenient to see people, so today she stayed in the mansion to rest, but His Royal Highness the King has good ears, and he can actually judge by the footsteps that the crown princess did not come." ”
"It's just that habit becomes nature, the eyes can't see, and the ears, nature replaces the eyes."
I've entered the palace today, and even the guards on patrol have been strengthened several times, don't ask me why I know, it's because I've been here for more than a month.
Unexpectedly, today's banquet turned out to be in Huayang Palace.
This Huayang Palace is next to the emperor's imperial study, and I always feel that this location is too strange.
The banquet was already full of people, and these princes and ministers saluted them together after seeing Baili Qiye and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming in together.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have seen His Royal Highness the Night King."
The father-in-law who had brought us into the palace before took us to the place where we should be sitting at this time, and these ministers also sat down one after another, and I saw that some of these ministers had brought their daughters over.
Suddenly, I saw General Liang and his granddaughter Shen Yi also come over, and I hurriedly lowered my head, for fear that Shen Yi and General Liang would see me, and today was not a suitable day to recognize each other.
As minions, of course, we have to stand aside and serve, not long after we arrived at Huayang Palace, Yuheng and Yan Beishen also arrived, but what made me unhappy was why Long Shili also came?
The location is really cleverly arranged, the prince and Yan Beishen are sitting opposite us, and Yuheng is next to Baili Qiye.
Since that day I joined forces with Yan Beishen to tease Qin Cheng in 'Welcome Guest', I haven't seen him for about seven days, but I don't want him to even look at me today, I believe that Yu Heng told him about my disappearance, and he is like this now, I am somewhat angry in my heart, but it is not good to have a seizure now.
"Miss Nan, your body has been much better these days, but look at your complexion today, it is so good." Anyway, there is a Yuheng who will still care about me.
I saluted him decently, and then said, "Thank you for your concern, my body is already well, in the end, thank you for taking care of me at that time." ”
As soon as the words fell, the father-in-law shouted, saying that the emperor had arrived.
At this time, I saw the emperor and the queen mother walking in from outside, and everyone present got up to greet them, my position here is too obvious, and the protagonist of this banquet is also participating in this banquet today, the eyes of everyone present will look at him, although I have a thin veil on my face, but I am afraid that someone will recognize me.
Liang Du and Desheng stood at the front, while Yan Yan and I stood behind them, the two men were already big, so blocking it was a good way to block my view here.
After the emperor and queen stepped onto the highest stage, the banquet officially began.
"In recent years, the war between Li and my Qiang country has subsided, and has repeatedly helped the two countries to clear the fortress, three years ago, His Royal Highness the King Yue of your country came to visit, I don't want to come again three years later, you two brothers are the best in the world, and my sons are not far behind, today I have a special banquet here, and I hope to be a country of friendship with your country forever."
Baili Qiye stood up at this time, holding a wine glass in his hand, and toasted to the emperor, "Thank you for the emperor's good intentions, this king must tell my father the emperor's meaning after going back, Mocheng Dijie Renling, His Royal Highness the prince and Qingwang are rare among the dragons and phoenixes, this king can have the honor to make friends with these two princes, it is the honor of this king, these days to stay here, just to be able to ask the two princes, one or two." ”
Hehe! They are all talking people, and they hold each other to the highest point, but they take the opportunity to get a lot of advantages.
I have always known that the royal family is extremely extravagant, but I don't want the dishes that come up today, Rao is not a person who has ever been a princess.
At the banquet, in addition to food and wine, there are naturally beautiful dances and beautiful songs, no, singing and dancing are coming.
In fact, I don't have a good impression of singing and dancing, because it seems that when King Yue came here, there was an assassination, and Yan Zituo also gained the trust of the emperor, I hope that what happened back then will not happen today.
Because I thought of King Yue, there is one thing that I have always had a question in my heart, that is, why the person I saw in Mocheng and the person I saw in Licheng are completely two faces, is it really because of the relationship that he once disfigured?
The banquet went quite smoothly, everyone ate, drank, talked and laughed, nothing bad happened, and after the song and dance show was over, the courtesans retired.
And the emperor and queen also left in the second half of the period, and the banquet was held at this time, and it was almost over.
All these princes and ministers began to leave here one after another, and just when I thought that the day would be spent safely, I don't know who took advantage of the chaos to trip me, and then I fell to the table next to me in a dog-like manner, and finally slammed it to the ground.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Yes, it was none other than Long Shili who was following Yan Beishen, at this time my body was full of oil and soup, and I was wearing white clothes. At this time, it looks like a dirty doll.
Because of my loud noise, the people who had already left looked back at me.
"This woman looks like the green princess of the past?"
"She is the maidservant girl by the side of Baili Qiye, could it be that he specially wanted to dedicate it to Lord Qing?"
I don't know when my veil was removed, and my face was so grandly revealed.
The discussion was loud and loud, and I was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to respond.
At this time, Yu Heng, who was closest to me, turned his wheelchair to my side, and he raised his hand and reached out in front of me.
I came back to my senses, then took his hand and stood up.
But she didn't want a figure to rush up, she held my hand and said, "Nan Kite, you are Nan Kite!" ”
The person who rushed up to shake hands was none other than Shen Yi, who had a brief friendship with me back then.
"Girl, I'm afraid you've mistaken someone." In any case, in the current situation, there is no way for me to recognize anyone, and Yan Beishen, who is not far from me, left straight at this time.
He walked very fast, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with me, what the hell had happened these days? Why does his attitude towards me seem to be colder than before?
And the initiator of this matter sneered on the side, I have seen this kind of look countless times before, I dare to pack the ticket, she definitely has no amnesia!
"The clothes are dirty, it just so happens that I have an extra set, you go with me to change, I can't let you go back like this, after all, I am responsible for this matter."
Would she be so kind?
It's clearly because of him that I'm so embarrassed.
However, since she said this, there must be a trick, if I don't go, won't it be a waste of her plan?
I'll see what she wants to do to me. Could it be that he dared to go to the palace and kill me?
Then I followed her, despite the objections of Baili Qiye and Desheng.
She brought me to a palace maid's quarters, and then asked the maid who had been with her to give me a new set of clothes.
After I entered the room, I checked left and right, then locked the door, and then opened the clothes, and carefully checked them up and down, left and right, and then changed into this set of clothes.
When I was changing clothes, I was thinking about the question, why did she trip me today, was it just because she wanted me to make a fool of myself?
Although I know that she is simple-minded, after all, three years have passed, and she still knows how to win sympathy by amnesia, and she must no longer be as reckless as before.
