Chapter 008: Palace Banquet
Hua Ling passed by that time, and she was frightened for a few days and didn't sleep well, for fear that the royal brother who had lost the pearl would find someone to arrest her and go back to convict her.
After receiving Hua Ling's letter, a few days have passed since Murong Xi found Hua Ling, so does it mean that he doesn't care about Hua Ling?
The pearl is still unpredictable to the royal brother who has just returned to the palace, and she thinks that she should find a day to find out his tone.
After all, she only has a good friend like Hua Ling, she can't watch her have an accident like this.
She heard from Jin Xia that these seven princes did not have the title because they had just returned to Beijing, and because they were born to the queen of the current dynasty, it was very likely that they would be the future crown prince of Qianmu Kingdom. Now I am temporarily living in the Bright Moon Palace.
It doesn't matter to her who is in charge of the future in this palace, anyway, she will marry out of the palace in the end.
At the beginning, he was a childhood sweetheart with Pei Yi, Pei Yi was born a talent, and he was affectionate to himself, even if the two were sure of each other's intentions at that time, but without the will to leave the pearl, Pei Yi would never dare to do anything deviant to himself. It's just that I never expected that the man I had loved for a long time would be robbed by Chang Ning's guy like that. Yizhu was a little unhappy in her heart, but it was a foregone conclusion, and she couldn't do anything. But she always felt as if she couldn't find the man she wanted for the rest of her life.
Every fifteenth o'clock of the month, the palace will hold a palace banquet, attended by some royal relatives, mainly the father of the emperor is getting older, thinking about getting together with his family on the full moon day every month, heralding reunion.
But Yizhu was thinking that Murong Ze was the youngest of the princes, and he would be sent to Saiwai when he was ten years old next year. And now, in addition to the return of the seventh prince to Beijing, as far as she knows, there are still four princes and five princes still outside the palace. Where is this reunion?
……
The night is miserable.
Vocal music was everywhere in the court.
In the palace with a big red gauze curtain, dozens of women with beautiful postures are performing outstanding dances. The eyes of the emperor's relatives on both sides of the hall were all attracted by the dancers in the hall.
She has always had a good relationship with Murong Ze, so she sat with Murong Ze and Murong Ze's mother, Concubine Liu. Sitting directly across from her were Chang Ning and Pei Yi, and I don't know if the person who arranged the seat was deliberate. Knowing that she ......
However, not many people know about this.
Yizhu has always disliked this kind of occasion, but the last time her father held a banquet for the Seventh Prince, she did not attend, and this time she did not continue to pretend to be sick and did not attend, so she had to sit bored and eat dishes.
Murong Xi's seat was also arranged diagonally opposite the missing pearl, and the lost pearl wanted to ask him about whether he really let go of his friend Hua Ling, but he couldn't ask for a while. Her eyes turned slightly, falling on Chang Ning who was directly opposite her, she seemed to be aware of her eyes, and immediately raised her chopsticks to clip a piece of meat for Pei Yi beside her. Seeing this, Pei Yi's expression seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and he raised his eyes slightly to stare at the side of the missing pearl, with apologies in his eyes. Such a look made the pearl look disgusted, and immediately looked away.
Such a small eye contact entered Chang Ning's eyes, she clenched her chopsticks slightly, and a pair of beautiful eyes flashed a touch of anger.
She was bored, and she didn't like to watch these dances. Murong Ze on the side seemed to see what she was thinking, and said in a soft voice in her ear: "Sister Nine Emperors, look at that Pei Yi, he doesn't look as good as the Seven Emperor Brothers who just returned to the palace, what are you still sad about him?" ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the missing pearl unconsciously glanced at the two men opposite, and the bright eyes naturally fell on Murong Xi.
He wore a silver moon embroidered robe tonight, with a dark jade belt around his waist and a delicate ribbon hanging from his waist, which set off his originally pale complexion more delicately, looking handsome and not girly, although he had always been expressionless, but it was still very pleasing to look at like this.
The man on the other side seemed to notice her eyes, and between sipping wine, he raised his eyes slightly, and his dark eyes met her gaze. Zhuzhu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked away with a weak heart, and said embarrassedly to Murong Ze on the side: "You little bun, what are you thinking, that is our brother." ”
Murong Ze was stunned for a moment, "Well, of course the Seventh Emperor Brother is our elder brother, what is the Imperial Sister thinking?" ”
"I'm ......" Zhuzhu was stunned, opened his mouth, and felt a little weak and speechless.
Yes, what is she thinking, he is her royal brother, and it has nothing to do with him whether he is more handsome than anyone. What should she do to pay attention to her royal brother's appearance because of her imperial brother's words?
Concubine Liu on the side heard the conversation between the two sisters and brothers, and couldn't help but smile, "Yizhu has never seen the Seventh Prince, and he may not be used to this imperial brother for a while." However, the palace seems to see that the emperor's intention is to keep the Seven Princes in the capital, and it should not be long before the Seven Princes will have his own mansion in the capital, and at that time, you can go to your imperial brother's mansion more often, and enhance your brother and sister relationship. ”
"Who wants to enhance the brother-sister relationship with that person, Chang Ning is his own sister." The Lost Jewel muttered in a whisper.
Concubine Liu shook her head, knowing the grievances between her and Chang Ning, and the Seventh Prince and Chang Ning were both born in Empress Yu, and they understood human nature like this, once they hated someone, they would hate them together with her close people. She took a sip of the soup and didn't speak again.
Yizhu coughed lightly uncomfortably, and reached out to pull Su Chun beside him, "You say, when will this palace banquet end?" ”
"Back to the princess, it's still early." Su Chun leaned over and whispered in the ear of the missing pearl.
Hearing this, Yuzhu frowned, "My legs are so sore, and I eat a little bit." ”
"Otherwise, you can leave the table for a walk first, and it should be almost the time to come back." Concubine Liu once again opened her mouth to suggest.
This suggestion is good, and the missing pearl nodded, and secretly retreated out of the hall.
……
In the night sky tonight, the thick clouds have obscured the bright stars, leaving only the lone full moon to exude a cold light.
The lost pearl was originally a habitual walk back to the Yuehua Palace, and all the way he looked up at the starless night sky, so he changed his mind and went for a walk.
"There are no stars tonight."
"It could rain tonight. Princess, let's hurry back to the main hall. Jin Xia's voice trembled a little, and her small body revealed a thin trembling. What else is there to walk around this big night.
"Jinxia, when did you learn to watch the stars at night?" Lost Pearl chuckled.
"Princess, she didn't learn to watch the stars at night, she was timid." Su Chun glanced at Jinxia beside him angrily.
Zhuzhu pursed her lips and smiled, without saying much.
"No, princess, slave maid ......" Before Jin Xia's words fell, a sighing voice suddenly came from the front. Frightened, Jin Xia grabbed Su Chun's hand sleeve tightly, "Princess, let's hurry back to the palace." ”
