Chapter 708: All Nations Come to the Ceremony
Zhiqiu was worried about Zhuo Jiu in his heart, and he ran as fast as he could, and he had no time to think about whether there was anything strange about this matter. I just want to see Zhuojiu as soon as possible, and I only want to make sure that Zhuojiu is safe.
Rushed all the way to the outside of the imperial dining room, and only then did he come back to his senses. There are many people outside the imperial dining room, and if there is really something, you must not let people see it. So he carefully hid behind the courtyard wall and looked around......
But what I saw was only the minions who came and went to serve food, and I didn't see Zhuo Jiu.
There was no place as far as his eyes could see, so he went to look outside the backyard wall, and then went to the other side to look for it, but there was no trace of Zhuo Jiu. With such a lot of people coming and going, Zhuo Jiu won't hide in the imperial dining room, right?
The more he couldn't find Zhuojiu, the more worried Zhiqiu became. At this time, he was all focused on Zhuojiu's safety, and even to such a point, he still didn't think about his own plan.
Looking at the minions coming and going at the gate of the imperial dining room, Zhiqiu turned her heart aside, feeling that she was the palace daughter in Yilan Palace anyway, and in this Weiyang Palace, she didn't go wherever she wanted? Who can stop her? So I went directly into the imperial dining room to find someone.
When the minions who came and went saw Zhiqiu, they all saluted: "Girl." Where does Zhiqiu have the kung fu to take care of them? I just kept sweeping my gaze around a few corners of the yard in the hope of seeing something strange. I saw that in the corner of the wall in the west, there was a large dustpan half a person wide, Zhiqiu's heart was lifted suddenly, and cold sweat oozed from his palms!
"At this time, the girl came over in person, but what did the queen mother say?" Mama Huang, the housekeeper in the imperial dining room, walked out quickly and asked.
When she asked like this, Zhiqiu didn't have time to check the big dustpan, so he could only say perfunctorily: "It's nothing, just to see how you are prepared, all the dishes are ready?" Tonight is a feast, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Please rest assured, girl, everything is well prepared, the minions are already serving, and there is no mistake." Mama Huang smiled.
Zhiqiu nodded, supervised the general, and walked to the main house where cooking and cooking. Standing at the door and looking around, he saw that this place was full of cooks and miscellaneous slaves and maids in the imperial dining room, and it was not a place to hide people, so he didn't stay longer and went to the courtyard again.
Mama Huang only thought that Zhiqiu was sent by the queen, and didn't think much about Zhiqiu's move, but just followed all the way, and let Zhiqiu check it in a proper manner.
When he arrived in the courtyard, Zhiqiu wanted to go to the big dustpan to have a look, but he had no reason. I could only pretend to smile casually: "Mama, what is that dustpan for?" How is it so big? Who can turn it upside down? ”
"It's so useful, you have to put away the dried rice and noodles, and use it. There are a few powerful little minions in our imperial dining room, and they are also diligent in their work, so this little weight is not a problem. Mama Huang smiled.
There happened to be a little eunuch chopping wood in the courtyard, and Mama Huang beckoned: "Xiao Jiangzi, you go and play the big dustpan in the corner of the wall and show the girl!" ”
Zhiqiu was busy saying "no need", but the little eunuch acted quickly, and rushed over with an arrow step while responding. The place where the wood was chopping was not far from the corner of the wall, and it was too late for Zhiqiu to stop him again.
I saw Xiao Jiang grab the big dustpan, and dragged it with the palm of one hand, spinning the big dustpan that was half a person wide on the top of his head, like a handkerchief played by a juggler.
But after this big dustpan, no one ......
Zhiqiu's heart was cold, but he also forced a smile and said, "Xiao Jiang is really powerful......
"Yes", Mama Huang praised sincerely, "In our imperial dining room, he has the most strength and the most flexible hands and feet." Not to mention the bamboo dustpan, it's a big iron pot lid, he can play it! ”
How could Zhiqiu have the heart to appreciate this unpopular juggling? smiled: "Mama is busy at this moment, I won't bother here." Mama hurry up and get busy, I'll go to Yilan Hall to find Niangniang. ”
"Yes, don't delay the girl's reply." Mama Huang said.
In fact, Mama Huang's qualifications are much higher than that of her, a young girl, but because she is serving the queen in Yilan Palace, and she is the queen's companion, in the eyes of these palace daughters, aunts, and grandmothers, she and Chu Xia are half masters, and no one dares to slack off.
But no matter how much people respect her, it's just for the sake of Miss's face. Who is she who they respect?
Zhiqiu quickly left the imperial dining room, out of the imperial dining room, and unwillingly looked around again, but still did not see Zhuo Jiu's figure, only then did his spine suddenly feel cold, and he realized that it was not good, Xu was in a plan!
Zhuo Jiu didn't come to the palace at all, it was Dong Xue who tricked her with Zhuo Jiu's handwriting! She fell for the trick of the master and servant of Zhongcui Palace!
What did the master and servant trick her into coming to the royal dining room? They didn't let her take anything, and they didn't let her really see anyone, as if their purpose was just to let her walk around the imperial dining room. What use could she do if she walked around the imperial dining room?
Unless there's something she can do if she's been to the Imperial Dining Room...... Isn't this a blatant attempt to frame a blame for her? Bringing her over is to find a conclusive evidence for the next planting!
Thinking of this, Zhiqiu felt that his legs were weak, and he staggered a step forward, almost not falling!
"Miss Zhiqiu!" A quick-eyed palace daughter hurriedly supported her and said with concern: "The girl is not feeling well? ”
"Nothing." Zhiqiu coldly shook off her hand, brackered up his strength, and walked quickly in the direction of Penglai Palace. The palace daughter was confused, and couldn't help but be quite dissatisfied with her coldness, and muttered: "What's the spirit, the dog fights the powerful thing......"
Zhiqiu's heart was beating so fast that it seemed to block her throat, making it a little difficult for her to breathe! What can I do? What can I do?
If she really fell for the plan of the master and servant of Zhong Cui Palace, how could she defend herself? And Miss is truthfully recruited, will Miss believe her?
After all, she owed it herself, and read the note handed by Dongxue...... That alone was enough for the young lady to blame her!
Privately accepted Dongxue's note, and read it privately, in Miss's opinion, this alone can already prove her infidelity! If she was loyal enough to Miss, shouldn't she give the note to Miss first? Instead of knowing that there is no way to hide it after doing something wrong, this can only confess to the young lady in order to seek shelter and forgiveness.
The more Zhiqiu thought about it, the more she felt hateful, why was she so confused! It's just a note, so what can I do if I show it to Miss? Even if what was written on it was true, could the young lady still not let her go? Can the young lady still tell His Majesty about this? Even if the young lady will tell His Majesty about this, but at the moment of the feast, how can His Majesty have the kung fu to take care of Zhuo Wine? I guess I just thought it was a joke by Zhuojiu.
So, what the hell is she hiding from Miss?
She should have told Miss about the note a long time ago, so that even if something really happened, for the sake of the affection of the master and servant, Miss would protect her to some extent. But now...... She hid from Miss and betrayed Miss first, and it is very likely that she will cause a big trouble for Miss, what will Miss do to her? Will she be left to fend for herself and leave her alone, right?
"Miss Zhiqiu, where are you going in a hurry?" Facing it, it was the little peach of the Frost Dew Pavilion who said with a smile.
"Naturally, I went to Penglai Hall to find my master, where is the little peach girl going?" Zhiqiu pretended to smile calmly.
"My little master wants to drink milk almond soup, let me come to the imperial dining room to get some ingredients." Little Peach Road.
"Go quickly, the imperial dining room is busy at this moment, I'm afraid you'll have to delay for a while." Zhiqiu smiled, and continued to walk forward smoothly, changing the hurry and panic of Fang Cai.
Xiao Tao said: "Girl walk slowly", and walked quickly to the imperial dining room, without saying a word of nonsense. There was no stop.
Zhiqiu thought about it all the way, until he returned to Penglai Palace, but he still didn't come up with a proper way.
At this time, the emperor and the empress had already sat down, and the envoys of various countries and the civil and military officials of the Fengguo were also in their respective positions, among which the richly dressed young man sitting on the first place on the left was talking with the emperor. It can be seen that everyone has already seen the ceremony, just waiting for the dishes to be ready, and the feast will begin.
Hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "Brother Murong came from afar, and I am very happy. I should have sent someone out to answer earlier, but I was afraid that Brother Murong was chic by nature and didn't want to be surrounded by his subordinates and minions, so I didn't dare to arrange anything rashly, and I hope that Brother Murong won't blame me for being rude to the Feng Kingdom......"
"Brother Feng is too polite," the young man said with a smile, "I originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time, and I didn't lose my way, so why bother this side of the Wind Country?" ”
When Zhiqiu saw this person's age, dress, and appearance, he knew that this was Murong Yan, the emperor of the mysterious Snow Country. This person has extremely white skin, a high nose and deep eyes, and speaks and behaves with a very celebrity, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
But at this time, she couldn't feel comfortable!
Seeing that the young lady was listening carefully to the emperor's words and laughing with her, if she interrupted and whispered something to the young lady, I was afraid that the attention of the emperor and Murong Yan would also be here. This matter can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and it will naturally take some time to explain, if the emperor listens to it, won't it make a big fuss?
"What's more, I am still old friends with the queen of your country! This time, I have the right to see friends, how can I use so many courtesies between countries? Murong Yan said, looked at Rong Yunxi, and said with a smile: "Farewell to the New Year, I don't know how good my old friend is?" When we met last year, my old friend was still a princess, and when we meet again today, we will already be the queen of the world. I don't know if my old friend still remembers me? ”
Rong Yunxi thought to herself, when will I be your "old friend"? You and I are not friends. At most, it can only be regarded as acquaintance!
But after all, the envoys of all the countries were present, so she couldn't slap Murong Yan in the face at the beginning of the night banquet, wouldn't that be the first to raise the smell of gunpowder?
So he just smiled and said: "Thank you for Your Majesty's care, everything is fine in this palace." I only met His Majesty once in the Purple Cloud Pavilion last year, and I didn't want His Majesty to recognize this palace. Your Majesty has a good memory, which is impressive. ”
"Huh...... Brother Feng, your queen praised me like this, making me embarrassed! I'm going to say something offensive in return, and I hope Brother Feng doesn't blame him......" Murong Yan smiled at the emperor.
Before the emperor could say anything, he looked at Rong Yunxi again. smiled meaningfully: "The queen is alluring to the country and the city, but any man will never forget it." After all, I'm a man, too! ”
