"Then why don't you ask the Seventh Master? Only the Seventh Master himself can answer this question. Shen Yue stabilized his mind and said indifferently.

Zhao He smiled, "After so many years, Brother Qi is afraid that she has long forgotten her, it's all old people and old things, why mention it." ”

"I only know that the seventh master's favorite is Yue Xi, and even the name given to me is Yue Xi."

Zhao He nodded, "Seventh Brother does love Yue Xi the most, this name has a different meaning to him, but he gave this name to you, which shows that he also loves you." ”

Shen Yuexi stopped talking.

"It's late at night, let's go back early and rest." Standing silent for a while, Zhao He said.

Shen Yuexi said goodbye to Zhao He and went to their own courtyards.

Along the way, Shen Yuexi's heart was calm, Zhao He suddenly told her about this, which made her wary, did Zhao He guess something?

You should be more cautious in the future. After tossing and turning for a long time at night, Shen Yuexi now admonished herself.

Three days passed quickly, and on the day before the first month, in the afternoon, Zhao Zheng took Lang Kuo and entered the palace with Shen Yuexi and Zhao He.

The palace was very lively, and many princes stationed in various places also rushed to the capital with a large number of gifts, just to celebrate the beginning of the first month with the emperor.

Zhao Zheng took Shen Yuexi to meet the Queen Mother first.

The Queen Mother was not as enthusiastic as usual about Shen Yuexi, polite and detached, just because she had the idea that Shen Yuexi was a disaster, the more she looked at Shen Yuexi now, the more she felt that she was a disaster.

Shen Yuexi naturally noticed the change in the Queen Mother's attitude, so she also became polite and detached.

Sitting in Fushou Palace for a while, most of the time was silent, there was no laughter and joy in the past, remembering the kind of kindness to the Queen Mother before, Shen Yuexi only felt a little sad.

After sitting for a while, Shen Yuexi glanced at Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng found a head to take Shen Yuexi out of Fushou Palace.

"The Queen Mother treats me as well as before." Shen Yuexi said to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng is not stupid, he can naturally see it, and he also knows the reason why the Queen Mother is cold and Shen Yuexi, but he still wants to comfort Shen Yuexi, "These days, the princes who have returned to Beijing and the prefects and ministers of various states have repeatedly come to Fushou Palace to ask for peace, and the queen mother is a little tired." ”

Shen Yuexi smiled and didn't say anything more.

Out of Fushou Palace, the sky has become dark, the palace lights in the palace are lit, and the palace maids and palace people continue to shuttle on the palace road, transporting dishes to the hall that will be feasting for a while.

Seeing those palace maids, Shen Yuexi thought of Chen Lingxiu.

"Is she dead?" Shen Yuexi asked Zhao Zheng softly.

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Shen Yuexi was talking about Chen Lingxiu.

Well. Zhao Zhengying said.

Shen Yuexi's heart froze, but she still couldn't hold back, and asked, "How did you die?" ”

"When carrying water, I was careless, planted in the water tank of the Huanyi Bureau, and drowned." Zhao Zheng said lightly.

This is a very logical way to die. Shen Yuexi has seen the water tank of the Huanyi Bureau, there is more than one person high, there is a stool outside the water tank, sometimes there is less water, you need to step on the stool to lift water, the stool is slippery, and it is possible to accidentally plant it in.

"Isn't there any movement on the He family's side?"

"What can they do, Chen Lingxiu is dead, they have won a sum of money for nothing, and they have completely lost the aftermath of being exposed, it's too late to be happy."

Shen Yuexi heard this and sighed, "The He family and I are the same thought, and we all wish for her to die." ”

"It's over, so don't think about it anymore."

What if you think about it more, anyway, the person is already dead, Shen Yuexi thought, what he can do is to burn more paper money for Chen Lingxiu in the future...... I am really false and compassionate.

Wanting to fight here, Shen Yuexi smiled mockingly at herself.

Then Shen Yuexi stopped and stood blankly outside the palace wall, not knowing where to go.

Zhao Zheng also stopped, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Yuexi looked up and looked around, "Suddenly, I felt that the palace was full of gloom, and I don't know how many unjust souls were floating in it." ”

Zhao Zheng sighed, he asked Shen Yuexi not to think too much, but she still thought too much, so he stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yuexi's hand, "Follow me, no matter what kind of soul can't find you." ”

"When you find me, I also admit that since you have done it, what is so terrible." Shen Yuexi said coldly.

Since she had eaten dead human flesh, she Shen Yuexi was no longer the Shen Yuexi she used to be, and somewhere in her heart had become cold and hard.

Zhao Zheng didn't know how to comfort her anymore, he didn't want Shen Yuexi to blame himself for Chen Lingxiu's matter, but he didn't want Shen Yuexi to become so ruthless. It's really contradictory. I just hope that in the future, she can slowly become the same as before under her gentle care.

The first month of the month begins on the night of December 31,

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Zhao Zheng estimated that it was almost before the start of the night banquet, so he took Shen Yuexi to the banquet hall.

The closer they got to the main hall of the banquet, the more Wang Sun ministers they met on the road, and they and Zhao Zheng greeted each other, polite all the way.

Shen Yuexi followed Zhao Zheng's side, not speaking or giving courtesy, just as if these people were transparent. Her eyes searched around, searching for Pang Shicong's figure.

Until she arrived at the door of the banquet hall, Shen Yuexi had never seen Pang Shicong's figure, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

At the door, there were palace people who saluted Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi, and then led them into the main hall and led them to sit in their places.

There is a candle lamp on each long table in the main hall, and many candles will reflect the light of the main hall, and there are already many distinguished guests sitting in the hall, who are greeting each other.

There are very few women among the guests, and Shen Yuexi's outstanding appearance is particularly eye-catching. In this January celebration, in addition to the queen mother, the concubines and princesses in the palace, most of the people scattered around the hall are the prince's internal dependents, and the ministers, even if they are important ministers like An Peiquan, have never been qualified to carry their internal dependents.

Shen Yuexi sat down for a while before finally seeing Pang Shicong enter the main hall.

Pang Shicong wore a black fur cloak and a fur hat of the same texture on his head, he was already young and handsome, and this outfit looked even more high-spirited and handsome.

Shen Yuexi's eyes lit up. The subtle flash of her expression did not escape Zhao Zheng's gaze.

Could it be that Shen Yuexi really likes Pang Shicong? This somewhat ridiculous thought in Zhao Zheng's eyes came up again.

Pang Shicong also saw Shen Yuexi, his seat was not too far from Shen Yuexi, when passing in front of Shen Yuexi, Pang Shicong waved his hand to Shen Yuexi, smiled, and then asked Zhao Zheng to say goodbye.

After a while, Zhao He also came.

In the past, Zhao He was reluctant to come on such occasions, but this time he came because Shen Yuexi was there.

"After a night feast, let's watch the fireworks together." When Zhao He passed by Shen Yuexi's side, he leaned over and whispered.

Shen Yuexi nodded.

Pang Shicong, who was not far away, squinted at them, guessing what they had just said.

The queen mother, the emperor and the harem concubines were the last to enter, and the kings and grandsons in the hall all got up to say hello, and watched the emperor and the queen mother sit down before they sat down.

After the emperor sat down, he first said an official word to the full guests in the hall, and then picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all for the sake of the wind and rain in the new year.

The guests in the hall also got up, drank the wine from their glasses, and then sat down again.

This kind of occasion is very restrained and boring, so Shen Yuexi just wants to finish dinner early and watch the fireworks.

But the dinner was long and seemed to have no end, musical instruments were played, singing and dancing, one after another, the wine was drunk one after another, and the dishes were cold, but there was still no intention of ending the night feast.

"I forgot to tell you that this night party will not end until about the end of the night, and then I will go to see the fireworks, spend time in the fireworks, and welcome the arrival of the first day of the first month." Seeing Shen Yuexi's bored look on her face, Zhao Zheng whispered in her ear.

Oh. Shen Yuexi heard this and touched his chest, "It's going to take so long...... I want to go out and breathe. ”

Breathable is Shen Yuexi's euphemism, she is going to the toilet.

Zhao Zheng naturally understood, and asked her softly, "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”

"No," Shen Yuexi covered her mouth and smiled, "There are palace maids outside." ”

Then, Shen Yuexi got up gently, bent over, tried not to arouse the ideas of others, and walked to the door of the main hall.

A palace maid stepped forward to ask, Shen Yuexi whispered to the palace maid that she wanted to go to the toilet, and the palace maid took Shen Yuexi to another room next to the main hall.

After finishing the toilet, Shen Yuexi did not go back to the main hall directly, she turned to the palace on the other side, stood on the steps in front of the hall, looked up at the night sky, and in more than an hour, it was the first day of the first month, and she would be 19 years old.

I can't say how emotional, but there are still some melancholy emotions, in this night of drinking.

After standing for a while, a figure appeared, the figure's footsteps were a little vain, but he still walked towards Shen Yuexi firmly.

Hearing the sound, Shen Yuexi turned his head, and under the reflection of the palace lamp, it was Pang Shicong's face.

Shen Yuexi didn't speak, looking at Pang Shicong, after Pang Shicong approached, he didn't say much, and directly pulled Shen Yuexi to the side of the hall.

The heavy door was pushed open, Pang Shicong's wine smell and strength were also amazing, and it was easy to carry Shen Yuexi across the high threshold, and then the door was closed by Pang Shicong.

From beginning to end, they didn't speak, and it wasn't until Pang Shicong held Shen Yuexi in his arms that he said the first sentence, "Yue Xi, you know I think you're going crazy." ”

Shen Yuexi was not panicked or surprised, her back leaned back slightly, and one hand blocked Pang Shicong's eagerness to kiss her mouth, "Pang Gongzi, you are drunk." ”

"What's the use of getting drunk? Just seeing you, I'm drunk, Yue Xi, you will fulfill me once, just once. Pang Shicong hugged the beautiful woman in his arms, and only felt that the blood all over his body was boiling hot.

"Then Pang Gongzi, will you also fulfill me once?" Shen Yuexi said softly and coldly.

"You say, if only I could do it." Pang Shicong reached out and touched Shen Yuexi's porcelain-like face, gasping.

"Of course you can do it, you just have to die for me once." Shen Yuexi said in a cold voice.
