This palace banquet showed that it was not an ordinary palace banquet, almost all the officials and ministers attended, some Shen Zhi had heard the name and had an impression, and some Shen Zhi did not know, most of the ministers were like

Shen He brought his own children to attend, but most of the people only brought their children by their side, and like Shen Fu, they brought their own daughters and concubines, but there were relatively few.

But Shen Zhi soon saw one, Lu Shangshu's daughter-Lu Ling'er.

is different from the last time they met, Lu Ling'er is wearing a much more normal dress this time, a goose yellow smoke skirt, covered with a fox fur short jacket, which looks a little less frivolous and vain, and more

is a little playful and smart, and even with that face that can only be called delicate, it also adds a lot of color.

Lu Ling'er deserves to be Shen Yun's "fox friend and dog friend", and after everyone in the Shen Mansion arrived, she keenly spotted them, and waved at Shen Yun in concealment.

However, Shen Yun looked a little absent-minded for some reason, and didn't see her echo, Lu Ling'er had to withdraw her hand, and her eyes turned and bumped into Shen Zhi on the side.

After seeing Shen Zhi's outfit today, a flash of surprise and jealousy flashed in her eyes very quickly, but she quickly hid it and turned into disdain.

She raised her chin arrogantly slightly, glanced at her with a defiant look, and looked away.

Shen Zhi suddenly became curious, what did Shen Yun do to make Lu Ling'er, who originally had little intersection with her, dislike her in every way.

"Zhi'er, Yun'er, the two of you will sit down with your mother in a while, don't make noise during the banquet." Shen He saw his colleagues who usually had good friends greet him from afar

He hurried over with a casual admonition.

Before the palace banquet started, in the corner on one side, there were already a few daughters who usually had a good relationship together, chattering and laughing.

Shen Yun saw Lu Ling'er beckoning to her and motioning her to go over to play, and her heart suddenly felt a little itchy, and she also wanted to go over and have a good time. But she was worried that the Rong side would not allow it, so her eyes were beady

Gollum spun, and an idea came to mind.

She dragged Shen Zhi beside her, ignoring her slightly frowning brows, and said, "Second sister, it's idle to wait here, why don't we go over and talk to them?" ”

This is what a hall of fame to play.

Shen Zhi frowned, and was about to open his mouth to refuse. Shen Yun grabbed her, dragged her in front of the Rong family, and said coquettishly, "Mother, the second sister said that it was a little boring to wait here, just Sister Lu."

We're over there, I'll go to Sister Lu's side with my second sister to talk, okay? ”

Shen Zhi laughed angrily when he heard her words.

How thick does this Shen Yun have to be to be able to tell nonsense and tell right and wrong with her eyes open in front of her?

She was about to open her mouth to stab the other party a few words, but after thinking about it, she was really boring to stand here, so it was better to leave with this excuse, and then find a quiet place to stay straight

It's good to get to the palace banquet to begin.

Thinking like this, she didn't speak, and acquiesced to the words in Shen Yun's mouth.

When the Rong family heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and when he looked at Shen Zhi, he was a little unhappy, he was really restless, he wanted to walk around casually, and he had to take Yun with him

Together.

But in the end, she wants to maintain her gentle and virtuous image in front of so many people, and it is not good to scold the other party directly, and on the way she came, she planned to take advantage of this palace banquet.

Dealing with other ladies in the house, I was originally worried about how to place the two of them, but at this moment, it sounds like it is not impossible to let the two of them be with Lu Ling'er and them.

As soon as her mind turned, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she whispered slowly, "It's okay for you to go and talk, but don't get too far away, otherwise the palace banquet will start to find no one for a while."

Oh no. ”

"My daughter knows." Shen Yun seemed to respond obediently, couldn't suppress the excitement on her face, and dragged Shen Zhi to Lu Ling'er's side.

"Shen Yun, why did you bring her over?" Lu Ling'er frowned and looked at Shen Zhi, her face was clearly displeased, "Don't you dislike her?" ”

As soon as he said this, several other daughters of similar age on the side showed strange expressions on their faces, looking at Shen Yun and then at Shen Zhi, with thoughtful expressions.

Shen Yun changed, and scolded in her heart - this Lu Ling'er is really a fool!

What was said to her behind her back, listen to it, how can she shake it out in front of so many people.

Although she and Shen Zhi want to look at each other now, and they don't want to maintain the illusion of a deep sisterhood, in the eyes of others, they are still sisters with good feelings!

It's good now, as soon as Lu Ling'er said it with a big mouth, everyone present knew what was going on between her and Shen Zhi.

Just when the atmosphere was embarrassing, Shen Zhi didn't seem to hear Lu Ling'er's sharp words, chuckled, and said indifferently: "It seems that the number of people on your side is enough, so I'll do it."

Find another place to stay. ”

After that, she turned around and left, Shen Yun had just come back to her senses, and Shen Zhi didn't have time to say anything.

Facing the inquisitive and curious eyes of the others when they looked at her, Shen Yun stiffened her head and said, "Actually, the second sister seems to want to be alone tonight, so let's not disturb her."

, don't worry, I'll call her when the palace banquet is about to start. ”

This palace banquet is held in the main hall, at a glance, the lights are bright, the eunuchs and the palace maids are shuttling back and forth in an orderly manner, and the lively and festive atmosphere reflects the long corridor outside the hall

The dragon-like lantern is even more lively.

Shen Zhi stood outside the hall and watched this scene, only feeling that this atmosphere was incompatible with herself, she stood outside the hall, but she seemed to be in another world, and she only felt that those voices were happy

Laughter is very far away from her.

She was a little upset, stood there for a moment, and then simply looked for a random direction and walked away.

The wind and cold at night were mixed with coolness, and Shen Zhi couldn't help but tighten the jacket on his body and walked aimlessly.

Slowly moving away from the main hall, those lively voices gradually faded out of his ears, and Shen Zhi's slightly annoyed mood slowly eased.

Xu is the reason why the night in the palace is darker than outside the palace, and the moonlight, which is always faint and soft on weekdays, is particularly white when viewed here, and a few stars twinkling not far away are not

It became clear. She stood there, looking up slightly, and her mind strangely calmed down.

She looked at the bright night light, and for the first time after being reborn, she didn't think about anything in her mind, she didn't think about why she was reborn, and she didn't think about what she should do in the future.

The hatred that pressed down on her heart, the painful memories that made her unforgettable, seemed to disappear from her mind in an instant, leaving behind a piece of peace.

At this moment, she even had an illusion that it would be good to let go of the resentments in the past and live this life well.

However, in an instant, she came to her senses, and even felt very ridiculous at the absurd thoughts that flashed through her moment.

When did she become so lazy?

It's just that Shen Yun found one or two innocuous troubles, and he began to be satisfied, relaxed, and wanted to give up?

Thinking of the unbearable past he had experienced in the past, Shen Zhi's pupils shrank, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

Not enough, definitely not enough.

Suddenly, her ears moved, and she subconsciously turned around, and said vigilantly, "Who is it?" ”

A small sound sounded in the darkness, and with a gurgling sound, a man slowly turned out of the darkness and appeared in front of her.

Xiao Zhi?

Shen Zhi resisted the urge to blurt out the other party's name, pursed his lips, and pretended not to know, "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Zhi had actually been here long before the other party came, and the palace banquet had not been held for a long time, and he was impatient to deal with people, so he simply went to this absolutely secluded place to breathe

Who knows, as soon as he arrived on his front foot, a ten-year-old girl walked in after him, and then stood in the courtyard and didn't leave, straight up to the moon in a daze

。

As long as the other party looked at the moon, he looked at her as long as he wanted.

In his memory, he didn't seem to have much contact with little girls of this grade around him, except for his nieces.

Even if he occasionally entered the palace a few times, when those little girls saw him, they would respectfully call him 'Uncle Huang', but their eyes were all pretended to look at them casually, and the arrogance and self-control in their eyes were half a point

couldn't hide it, and even once, when he was far away, he accidentally heard the other party muttering, 'It's a cripple'.

Although the child's words are unscrupulous, sometimes, they are even more hurtful.

Shaking his head and dissipating these unpleasant memories, he looked at the other party's eyes and wanted to pretend to be calm but couldn't hide a trace of panic in his eyes, and a flash flashed in his eyes that were as light as glass

Silk smiled faintly, "Who are you, trespassing on my place, I'm afraid it didn't have the consent of my master, right?" ”

How could this be Xiao Zhi's place?

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, and even thought suspiciously, did he think that she didn't know his identity, so he was deliberately teasing her?

After thinking about it, there seemed to be no other possibility, so she had to put on a surprised expression, as if she couldn't believe it, "Are you the emperor?" ”

When Xiao Zhi heard this, his eyes deepened slightly, and he diverted the topic without a trace, and asked gently, "What is your name, which house is you, and you came here when you got lost."

？ ”

The clouds on the horizon moved slightly, the crescent moon quietly disappeared half of his body, the light was not bright, but Shen Zhi could see Xiao Zhi's appearance clearly and strangely, his delicate and handsome facial features were as light as glass

The eyes, the lips pursed slightly, the maturity and the strange mixture of youth between the eyebrows become a quiet and delicate light as water, and there is a moment of overlap with the person in the memory.

Shen Zhi didn't know why, and his heart skipped for a moment. She suddenly remembered the scene when she saw Xiao Zhi in her previous life, and in the heavy snow, he turned his face far away and said it with a sigh

Shi, he stood in front of her, looking at her gently, and there was no mature grace between his eyebrows, but he still made her hold her breath.

As if bewitched, she replied, "My name is Shen Zhi." ”

But soon, she came back to her senses, bit her lip in annoyance, glanced at Xiao Zhi, and her heart was numb.
