Chapter 22 The heart is happy
Yue Xi stood uprightly on the side of the road and looked at the distant steps in a daze, until the female officer who took the lead reminded her and walked forward slowly. But before he had taken a few steps, another step came from behind.
She sighed, and stood still by the side of the road, she was hungry and had no strength to look up, and she didn't dare to look up again, lest she snort inexplicably.
"Yuexi?" This time, however, the man stopped beside her, and the man on the top poked his head out and called tentatively.
Yue Xi raised her head in confusion to look, and saw Yan Chu sitting on her seat and looking at her with a smile.
"How are you alone? Not with my fifth brother? ”
"Is that you?" Her head couldn't move because she was hungry, and she replied to Yan Chu in hindsight: "Yes, I'm alone." ”
Of course she is alone, because Yan Zhi's deflated calf has been in the palace for a long time and has not taken her with her, and she has not gone to Xiao Shiyi, so she is not alone.
"Go and call another one to come over," Yan Chu instructed the female officer in front of him, and then turned around and smiled: "Sit down, there is still a long way to go in here." ”
Yue Xi was hungry and had no strength, and he didn't bother to be polite to Yan Chu, so he agreed without hesitation.
It's halfway there, and it will take a while to call someone to come over, Yan Chu smiled, and looked at Yue Xi from the top: "I'll walk with you for a while." ”
Accompany it, and the more Xi says it doesn't matter.
The two slowly swayed forward together, Yan Chu had the usual smile on the corner of his lips, and he glanced sideways at her from time to time.
Just look at it, Yue Xi said, although I am good-looking, I don't take money.
When Yan Chu called over, her hungry eyes became more and more dizzy, and she was almost ready to lie on the ground and not leave, she pulled Yan Chu's sleeve, quite pitiful: "Look, am I starved to death?" ”
The woman's eyes were watery and looking at Yan Chu, revealing a bit of coquettishness and grievances, and in the leisurely evening breeze, she could vaguely hear the empty city plan sung by the woman's stomach.
Yan Chu couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm not starving, I'm still alive." ”
After a pause, he said, "I have some snacks on my hand, you can go up and eat some." ”
Yue Xi stared at Yan Chu with bright eyes: "Really? ”
"Hmm."
Yue Xi is so happy that he is about to fly, what is charcoal in the snow? It's called charcoal in the snow!
She climbed up to Yan Chu's previous steps with lightning speed, Yingxia and another little girl tried to stop her, but they didn't stop, and Wu Zi was in a hurry behind her.
The sky, this is the prince's sedan chair, can you get on it if you want to?
Yue Xi was still immersed in the joy of having something to eat, and grinned at Yan Chu: "Yan Chu, you are really a good person, we will be friends in the future, I will invite you to dinner when I have time." ”
"Okay." Yan Chu nodded lightly, a gentle smile on the corner of his lips.
All the way to the night hall where Yan Chu held the birthday banquet, Yue Xi was already going to call Yan Chu a brother, if it weren't for the palace, she might have to get drunk with Yan Chu and rest.
The birthday banquet has not officially started, and the emperor and queen mother have not yet arrived, but the hall is already full.
Dayu people are open, although men and women are different, but it is not to feast on different seats, the birthday banquet is set in the night hall, men and women are in a row, sitting opposite each other, looking at it is also interesting.
As soon as Yue Xi came in with Yan Chu, several eyes fell on the two of them, she didn't realize it, waved her hand at Yan Chu casually, turned her head and followed the little palace maid who came over to her seat.
She has a low status, no official and no character, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's indication that she wanted her to participate in the banquet, she would not be qualified to participate in this kind of birthday banquet, and now even if she comes, the position is also at the bottom of the women's column, and these Beijing nobles probably disdain to take care of her.
It doesn't matter if he is more embarrassed, he sat down quietly in his seat, and raised his glass to Yan Chuyao, who had already sat down over there, in a good mood.
Before the wine glass was put down, there was already a shrill voice of the waiter over there: "The emperor has arrived!" The Queen Mother has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! ”
The triple sang from far to near, Yue Xi knelt down with everyone, and her ears buzzed past some messy words of "Fulong Prosperity" and "Songhe Changchun", and she followed with a "Ahh After that, Fang rubbed his knees and slowly got up and sat down.
The emperor on the throne also said some nonsense above, she didn't have the heart to listen to it at all, the only thing she thought about was: When will the damn feast be held? The old lady is going to starve to death, hey, the little snack I just ate is not full at all?
"Today's Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the whole world celebrates, all the ministers don't have to be formal, you can drink as much as you want!"
The lengthy banquet speech finally passed, and Yue Xi listened to the emperor's concluding speech, almost bursting into tears with excitement: It's too fucking nonsense, just say "Eat, everyone!" Isn't it much easier?
At the banquet, there was a burst of harmony in pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Yue Xi was eating very happily with chopsticks, and when she inadvertently raised her eyes, Yan Chuzheng in front of her on the left looked at her and smiled.
Yue Xi tilted his head towards Yan Chu suspiciously, and asked with his eyes, "What's wrong?" What are you laughing at? ”
Yan Chu could barely stop laughing, and after a long while, he gently tapped his nose. She then touched her nose and pulled down a small piece of chili flakes that stuck to her mouth for some time.
Looking at the red and bright chili flakes, she couldn't help laughing, raised her glass and shook it at Yan Chu, and lip-synched: "To you!" ”
Yan Chu smiled and drank all the wine in the glass.
Just as he was about to put down the glass, Yue Xi found that Yan Zhi was sitting on the empty seat next to Yan Chu, looking at her with a wine glass.
His gaze fell on the dancing girl in the center of the hall deep and shallowly, and the lights in the hall hit his white jade-like face, which made her feel a little warm.
grinned at Yan Zhi, and seeing that no one around was paying attention to her, she pinched a peanut bean and turned it upside down, and shot at Yan Zhi suddenly.
Yan Zhi's wrist moved invisibly, caught the thing thrown by Yue Xi, glanced at Yue Xi faintly, and Yue Xi immediately smiled and lost his eyes: "Please eat!" ”
The woman was dressed in a blue dress, and the breeze blowing in from the door lifted the woman's ears, and her eyes were full of smiles, like a child who had succeeded in a prank, happy and innocent.
"Boring!" Ignoring the grinning Yue Xi over there, Yan Zhi turned his gaze away.
More than half of the banquet was over, and the silk and bamboo did not stop.
This kind of banquet has always been a good opportunity for the nobles in Beijing to show their elegance, if they can win the emperor's blue eyes, they are more likely to marry into the royal family and enjoy the glory and glory.
Yue Xi watched with interest as the girls stepped forward to perform, and planned in his heart that when the banquet was over, it would be more worthwhile to rob which noble girl's reward.
Before he could plan to come out, he saw a woman standing in the room. The woman was dressed in a pale crimson dress, bright as the morning glow, but her temperament was cold, it was her!
The beauty who just hummed her nose before!
The beauty saluted to the upper position: "Courtier, Su Qingzhi, please dance for the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother a prosperous sun and moon, and a long spring of pine cranes!" ”
"This is Su Qingzhi." Eleven didn't know when the cat ran to Yue Xi's side and lay down, and whispered to her with a proud face.
Yue Xi turned around and rolled his eyes: "I know, people said it themselves." ”
"Su Bailou's daughter." Eleven supplements.
"I know that, too."
"Yujing's first talented woman, especially good at dancing." The little doll persevered in breaking the news.
"I still know that."
"The fifth brother likes her."
