Chapter Seventy-Three: The Grand Palace Banquet

The banquet is held in the Daxing Palace, the Daxing Palace can accommodate thousands of people to hold a banquet, the furnishings inside are naturally the top luxury, as soon as the sky is dark, hundreds of children's wrist-thick river candles have been lit. Agarwood powder was added to the candle, and as the tears rolled down, the fragrance lingered in the palace.

In addition, the people attending the banquet today are all nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, dressed gorgeously, and the palace ladies come and go, and the palace is like a heavenly palace for a while.

The emperor and queen didn't want the courtiers to wait for a long time, so they didn't delay for a moment to sit down on time. The emperor has passed the year of the sixtieth birthday, although the imperial doctor in the palace has tried his best to recuperate for the emperor, but he has just been ill and the temples under the crown are already pale.

The old face that was tired by the years and the court affairs was hidden behind the twelve white jade beads, and he was tossed by red tape for a day, and his spirit was okay, and it seemed that he had been sick for a long time and should recover.

The queen next to her is from the Gu family of the Longxi clan, because she is the successor, in order to distinguish herself from the previous queen, she is called Queen Gu both inside and outside.

The queen in her forties has lost the demeanor of her youth, but she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has been in charge of the phoenix seal for many years.

The emperor has long been unable to grace the harem, and the draft has been stopped a long time ago, and the concubines of the harem on both sides according to their grades are also about thirty years old.

King Yi's mother, Emperor Shu, was also among them, and she was very well maintained, and she was also dressed up today, and she actually occupied the spring color among the many concubines.

After the emperor and concubine took their seats, there was a series of pilgrimages, and then the officials and princes sat down with their wives in order according to their official ranks.

But according to the rank, the crown prince, King Yi, the seventh prince, and Yu Wenyun sat smoothly under the emperor's right hand, while Zhuo Yin Feng Chai Lie sat on the emperor's left hand side.

Jin Yu should have been with Zhuo Qianqian, but because he was also the Si Le of Taichang Temple, it was inevitable that he would not be able to sit with Qianqian for a while, so he could only be busy in Taichang Temple first.

Because of Qianqian's hand injury, the double piano was changed to a single piano, and it has been reported after Qianqian's injury, and there have always been variables.

The wind music in the Daxing Palace is only in the sky, and the long sleeves of the singers and dancers are like stretched clouds all the way; Food and wine were served one by one, while Jinyu stayed at Taichang Temple to prepare various musical instruments to be able to enter on time for every rehearsal, until it was time for him to rehearse.

Compared with the Daxing Palace, the Taichang Temple is a lot more deserted, Jin Yu is going to play "Guangling San" today in the eighth place, at this time the banquet is just over half an hour, the rehearsal is only after two performances, in turn into the Daxing Palace is a Gong Hou and a pair of chimes, the next two pipa and twelve sheng also sent in advance.

In order to make the rehearsal go smoothly, Jin Yu had to repeat the inventory of the instruments from time to time, even though the placement of each instrument was already familiar with the position, and each instrument was polished as if it were shining in the mirror, it was still not to be taken lightly. The court banquet was unusual, and Jin Yu didn't want anything to go wrong at this time to disrupt his plans.

As for his plan, when he didn't appear in the Daxing Palace, Qianqian would help him run his life.

Even if there was a heavenly banquet, tonight the night sky was dark and there was not even half a minute of starlight, and a crescent moon like an eyebrow hung upside down on the willow trees with fallen leaves, and the hazy light outlined the heavy palace into a cloud of shadows.

There were fewer people in the Si Le Fang of Taichang Temple, Jin Yu listened to the sound of the banquet coming from afar, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, remembered Qianqian's eyebrows, couldn't help but lead a smile, turned around and pushed open the door of the musical instrument library.

As the door was opened, the candle flame in the storeroom flickered slightly, and the dark gold curtain used to divide the hall also shook slightly.

Jin Yu recognized that it was Gong E's shoes, there were many palace maids in Taichang Temple, and it was not surprising that the palace maids appeared in the musical instrument warehouse, but the strange thing was why the embroidered shoes quickly hid when he came in.

Jin Yu's eyes turned slightly, and he had already discovered the abnormality in the warehouse, Qin! All the strings of the piano were broken.

Most of the pianos in the palace are well-made, and it is not difficult to pull up the strings, but it is troublesome to tune, and it takes several days to tune a piano, and it is too late to repair it now.

The court banquet wants to win the favor of the emperor and earn glory for his own family, and what rehearsals arranged by his family have long been clear, and he doesn't want to be ugly because of the difference between high and low, and he will not repeat it. And the news of Nangong Hou's double piano ensemble has already spread, and only he Jinyu needs to use the piano tonight.

Looks like this man is coming for him!

Jin Yu closed the door without moving, and the silent instrument library could only hear his own breathing, that person actually knew martial arts, and his internal strength was profound, and his breathing was adjusted very evenly and slowly, if he wasn't a martial arts practitioner, he wouldn't have heard the sound of breathing hidden behind the curtain.

I've been following a shadow behind me all along, but I don't know what the way is coming, I'm allowed to be monitored, my activities are restricted, and if I can take this person down today and get a little clue, maybe I can come up with a corresponding solution. After taking that person down, I can just push a crime such as trespassing or assassination to the patrol in the palace, and I can get out, and the master behind that person will not suspect me.

But the only bet is whether he can win him. Jin Yu quickly deduced, her eyes instantly shone brightly, a fiery murderous aura filled her eyes, her wrist flicked, and the silver needle she always had on her body was already pinched in her hand.

With a flick of his fingertips, the silver needle pierced the dead air and flew towards the curtain, and the Luo skirt in front of Jin Yu flew in front of her, and a figure flashed out from behind the curtain, and flew straight to the window on the wall.

The person's speed is fast, Jin Yu's movements are faster, today is bound to catch this person, Jin Yu will not leave any chance for that person at all, he picked up the candlestick on the table and threw it out, seeing that he was about to hit the person, but the figure was volleyed in the air, although he dodged the candlestick, he couldn't jump out of the window.

In the air, he turned over and swung towards the beam of the house like a butterfly.

Jin Yu snorted coldly, with a force under his feet, he also pounced on the beam, slapped out with one palm, and the figure that was whistling in the palm wind finally fell back to the ground.

The slender and slender figure, like Qianqian, has a pair of plain hands like a green onion, and she is clearly a young woman, but she has a face towel on her face, and she can't see her face clearly. But those cold and cruel eyes Jin Yu has seen it, in the deserted garden, and the pursuit that night is her!

"It's you!" Jin Yu exhaled just in surprise, not half a point of fear.
