The injury on her neck was faintly painful, and she was not lightly injured, so she didn't have to continue to attend the princess's birthday banquet, but she knew that she had no identity, and without the leadership of Xiang Yu, she was afraid that she would not have the opportunity to participate in the banquet in the imperial capital in the future.

Looking at a group of well-dressed people, Michelle Xia only felt a little out of place, walking alone on a somewhat secluded path, and unconsciously, she was getting farther and farther.

After walking out of the road for a while, Xia Ziqiong vaguely saw two figures behind the trees in front of her, and couldn't help but relax her steps and hide in the bushes to come over.

"Hong'er, after this Chu Luoyi leaves the Mingrui Palace, I'm afraid that we will have to leave Tianshui, and then we won't have a chance to start, and how to explain to the master in the end." A beautiful woman spoke softly.

Xia Ziqiong was stunned for a moment, and then thought that she had heard it wrong, wasn't Chu Luoyi dead? How could it be in this Mingrui Palace.

Feng Hong squinted his eyes and said, "But the palace is heavily guarded, and we don't have a chance to do it at all." ”

Aunt Zhao frowned and said: "Actually, it would be best if you could do it in the palace, there are many people here, and we can avoid our suspicion, if you tell this matter to Prince Mingrui, Prince Mingrui is the prince's person, and he must not want to see Chu Luoyi alive." ”

"What to tell Lord Mingrui? Did you tell her that this Mrs. Yu was Chu Luoyi back then? Mother, do you think the prince will believe it, this Chu Luoyi is now showing her true face, how can everyone believe that she is Chu Luoyi? What's more, Qingxue claimed to have killed Chu Luoyi with his own hands back then, if we say it like this, Prince Mingrui will only treat us as people with ulterior motives, besides, what if Ouyang Qiancheng hides his feelings for this Chu Luoyi again? Look at Xia Ziqiong today, it doesn't look like Chu Luoyi back then. Feng Hong said.

Aunt Zhao was silent for a while, and after a while, she spoke: "It's indeed like it, could it be that the prince really has no affection for Chu Luoyi?" So what to do? If Chu Luoyi is let go like this, His Majesty will definitely blame him if he knows it. ”

Michelle Xia's whole person was in a huge shock, what? It turned out that she heard it right, this Mrs. Yu was Chu Luoyi back then?

But even if what they said was true, didn't the rumor say that she had always liked to wear red? Doesn't that mean she's acting perversely? Why is the woman I see today low-key and calm.

Michelle Xia suddenly recalled what Chu Luoyi said when I first met her on the street, when I was rampant in Nanzhao, I am afraid that the red dress of the side concubine has not been done yet.

In an instant, the picture switched to Xiang Yu and Chu Luoyi just together, Xiang Yu's eyes seemed to have a thousand words to say, but he didn't know how to speak.

It turned out that she was not the lady who supervised the imperial history at all, otherwise Xiang Yu, as the prince's concubine, how could she be so friendly with the courtiers who had just returned from abroad.

Thinking of her contempt for herself, seeing that she had brought humiliation on herself but never told her, Michelle Xia clenched her fists.

No, she can't let Chu Luoyi live, if she goes to Ouyang Qiancheng's side, then what is she? If there was Chu Luoyi, would Ouyang Qiancheng really want her?

Michelle Xia was in a great shock, and the whole person couldn't come back to her senses for a while, and countless kinds of intricate and chaotic thoughts flashed in her mind in an instant.

No wonder when she saw Chu Luoyi for the first time, she felt that this person was a little similar to her appearance, and she was disgusted by her white indifference, but now that she looks like this, she is indeed a little similar.

"This little prince of Duanjing doesn't know why he is so good to Chu Luoyi? I had just heard that he would invite Chu Luoyi to the small garden to see his other snow mastiff in a while. Aunt Zhao spoke again at this time.

Michelle Xia didn't continue to listen, slowed her steps, and turned to leave.

Chu Luoyi, it turned out to be really Chu Luoyi, Xia Ziqiong didn't know how she walked back, she just felt dizzy all the way, and her mind was full of the words of the two people just now.

"Where did Miss Xia go, sit down quickly, the princess and the ladies are already waiting." A grandmother saw Michelle Xia who was a little distraught and opened her mouth to greet her.

Michelle Xia raised her eyes, only to find that she had walked back to the garden of the banquet, the tables inlaid with pearls and jade had been rearranged, and the various dishes were quickly reprepared.

This time, she was still sitting at the main table headed by Princess Mingrui, but there were two more people at this table, one was Mrs. Feng, who had just spoken up to defend Princess Mingrui, and the other was Chu Luoyi, who had just had a close conversation with Xiang Yu.

Michelle Xia stared at Xiang Yu, didn't sit down for a long time, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Everyone waited quietly, only the grandmother on the side reminded softly: "Miss Xia, do you think there is anything wrong?" ”

Xia Ziqiong came back to her senses: "Oh, it's nothing, I just saw that Mrs. Yu was wearing a veil all the time, and I was a little curious." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Luoyi, and a second-grade edict spoke: "Why does Mrs. Yu keep wearing a veil? But what's the inconvenience? It seems inappropriate to know that this is not appropriate at the princess's birthday banquet. ”

Princess Mingrui's eyes also fell on Chu Luoyi, she sent someone to invite Chu Luoyi to her main table for two reasons, one is that this Chu Luoyi seems to be well-informed and likes her youngest son, so she is also close to her, and the other is that she just opened her mouth to save her son from the prince, which not only saved the prince's face, but also saved her son from being beaten, she felt that this woman was a good person.

However, Michelle Xia's words do have some truth, according to Nan Zhao's law, if Miss Boudoir attends with a veil to show her wealth, it is understandable, but this Mrs. Yu is already a wife, and it is indeed a bit impolite to wear a veil until this time.

Chu Luoyi was about to open his mouth to explain on the grounds of illness, but saw Michelle Xia take the lead and said: "Mrs. Yu, don't use the infection as an excuse, today is the princess's birthday banquet, if Mrs. Yu is sick, it seems to be a great disrespect to the princess, if you infect the princess with illness, it is really ill-intentioned." ”

Chu Luoyi glanced at her and said: "Miss Xia is too worried, I didn't think about this matter carefully, earlier my lord inspected the border city, and the border city generation was extremely windy and sandy, and I was used to it, but now that I have returned to Tianshui, I actually ignored this matter, and asked the princess to forgive me." ”

Princess Mingrui nodded: "It's okay, this is also human nature." ”

Michelle Xia did not relent: "Since this is the case, then why doesn't Mrs. Yu take off the veil here to show her sincerity." ”

The little six sons on the side were not light, looking at Xia Ziqiong's gaze and eager to eat her, this woman who came out of nowhere, why did she go against her master several times, now the master's identity is sensitive, although she is slightly disguised, but there is still a great risk, she now lets the master take off the veil, how can he not worry, only worried about whether the master will be recognized, and finally trapped in this Tianshui.

Chu Luoyi's face was unwavering, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and slowly took off the tulle.

Xiang Yu's hands were clasped tightly, and his eyes fell on Chu Luoyi's face, as if he was very nervous.

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Luoyi's face, frowning slightly, and they didn't seem to find any clues? Could it be that Michelle Xia really just wants Mrs. Yu to take off her veil?

After Princess Mingrui's gaze swept over Chu Luoyi, she felt that this Mrs. Yu's appearance could only be regarded as superior, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Xia Ziqiong couldn't help frowning when she saw that Chu Luoyi's face was different from what she had seen on the street a few days ago.

How so? It's impossible to recognize the wrong person...

Xia Ziqiong ignored everyone's puzzled gazes and stared at Chu Luoyi's cheek carefully for a long time.

In the end, Michelle Xia was still sure that this person was the Mrs. Yu she saw on the street a few days ago, whether it was the face shape or the eyes, if you look closely, they can match the face that day.

"Mrs. Yu is really refreshing." Michelle Xia said with a smile.

Chu Luoyi didn't speak, just bowed slightly.

Seeing this, Princess Mingrui announced the official start of the birthday banquet, and all kinds of maidservants held trays and wine jugs and shuttled between the square tables, as if nothing had happened just now.

A group of ladies and ladies talked to each other, and their words were full of inquiring and flattering, or comparing, but they were lively.

Because Mrs. Feng was favored by Princess Mingrui and because of her hearty temperament, she mingled with several famous women for a while, and Aunt Zhao at the next table was still silent, just hanging her eyes and surrounding the few ladies and concubines on her table.

When the wine was half-drunk, Xia Ziqiong got up and said: "Princess Qiyu, the little girl is a little too strong to drink, and she is injured, so she wants to take the first step." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on this woman who was in turmoil today, and Xiang Yu on the side also frowned and said softly: "Miss Xia, why don't you wait any longer, the prince told me to take good care of you, if you leave like this, I really can't rest assured, but now the princess's birthday banquet is the time to enjoy it, and it would be too rude to leave with you, so Miss Xia should be patient?" ”

Xia Ziqiong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, Princess Mingrui swept her blushing face and said: "If this is not the case, there are also guest rooms in the palace, why don't I send someone to take Miss Xia over to rest for a while, wait until the birthday banquet is over, and then go back with Concubine Xiangyu, so good?" ”

An imperceptible look of joy flashed in Xia Ziqiong's eyes: "Since this is the case, then it will bother the princess." ”

"Miss Xia is polite, this is my negligence, Miss Xia is injured, she shouldn't have been drinking, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Princess Mingrui said apologetically.

At the same time, he instructed the grandmother beside her to take her to the guest room of the palace, and instructed her to take care of her.

After Michelle Xia left with her grandmother, the banquet in the garden went on as usual.

Xiang Yu was a little uneasy, and whispered to Chu Luoyi beside him: "Luo Luo, you said that nothing would happen to her, right?" The prince asked me to take good care of her, and if something happened to her, I couldn't explain it to the prince. ”

Chu Luoyi didn't look at her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she is bold and has good martial arts, even if something goes wrong in this palace, I can't blame you." ”

Xiang Yu nodded and continued to speak: "She asked you to take off the veil just now, it really scared me to death, fortunately Luo Luo, you changed your appearance, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”

"I'm sensitive, so I naturally have to be careful when I come to Nanzhao." Chu Luoyi replied a little perfunctorily.

At this moment, her mind is on Michelle Xia's sudden departure, Michelle Xia asked her to remove the veil before, and then she was not able to see her true face, according to Michelle Xia's temperament, it seems that this matter will not be settled like this.

She has been waiting for her to attack again, but Michelle Xia has not responded.

Until just now, she suddenly left the table, which made her have to think more.

glanced at Xiao Liuzi behind him, Xiao Liuzi nodded and quietly followed.

Michelle Xia followed Princess Mingrui's grandmother all the way to the direction of the guest room, and asked about the layout of the palace from time to time.

"This is the bamboo forest of the palace, and there are little princes here on weekdays." The grandmother explained to Michelle Xia's inquiry.

Xia Ziqiong nodded, and looked at the front yard again: "It must be the place where the prince will meet guests, just now I saw that the prince left in a hurry in that direction." ”
