Chapter 190: Starry Night Banquet Cheng Wangfu (1)
ο»Ώο»Ώ
The crescent moon is like a trace, clear and sparse silver. Izumi deliberately wore a gorgeous and solemn skirt and planned to go to King Cheng's mansion for a banquet. The light green smoke yarn is embroidered with gold thread and is full of bewildering anonymous auspicious patterns, which is complex and exquisite, making the original simple cloth become very splendid.
The jasper hand, the jade earrings, and even the hairpin inserted in the Feiyun bun are also green green jade, and the best jade is emerald and graceful. looked at Xiu's makeup lightly, and couldn't help sighing: "Madame should be dressed up, it's really beautiful." β
Zhu Yang also smiled on the side: "This light green is very well matched, and it is green in summer, which is pleasing to the eye." β
It's a light green indeed! Dresses and accessories are all green. Izumi lowered his eyebrows and looked at the hand on his wrist, the jade was crystal clear, glowing with green streamers under the shadow of the lamp. For some reason, a picture suddenly flashed in her mindβ
Under the dazzling sunlight, a white jade hand slowly stretched out from the chariot, and was slowly clenched by another wide and warm palm, the light green sleeves swayed gently in the breeze, and the woman in the green shirt fluttered.
This is the scene when Shen Yu entered the city in triumph, the scene when the woman in the green shirt stepped out of the chariot was imprinted in Izuxiu's heart, and there was a strangeness that I wanted to forget but couldn't forget. The more she doesn't want to remember, the more unforgettable it is, after more than half a month, she always feels eye-catching every time she thinks about it, and even ...... Blinding.
Light green ...... The woman named "Zihan" was also wearing light green. There was a sudden sense of rejection in Izumi's heart, and she resisted wearing this color, so she immediately walked to the dresser and sat down, and said to Xinxin: "Change your clothes!" β
After being busy again for half an hour, Xiu changed into an aqua blue dress, and her makeup and accessories were also replaced accordingly. This side of the carriage has just finished dressing up again, and the bamboo shadow of the other side has already reported outside: "Madam, the carriage of King Cheng's Mansion has arrived." β
Out of Xiu got up in response, Lianbu moved lightly around the screen, walked to the door of the dormitory, and said, "Zhuying, you go with me." β
Zhu Yang was a little worried when he heard this, and volunteered: "Madam, why don't I come with you." β
"No way!" As soon as Zhu Yang made this request, Izuku and Zhu Ying blurted out at the same time. Izuku looked at her still flat lower abdomen and said with a smile: "It's been almost three months, how can you move?" In Zhiyan Xuan, I am so good to live and raise, if there is any errand in the pool, Zhuying is afraid that he will not spare me. β
But Zhu Yang still couldn't let go: "Then you send a few more secret guards to follow." β
Izuku shook his head: "This is not an ordinary banquet, but a banquet personally invited by the Emperor of Heaven, if I bring a group of guards, wouldn't it be offensive to Tianyan?" It makes people think that I, the Yun Clan, am demonstrating to the current saint. β
Izumi turned to look at it lightly, and continued: "The more people who go, the easier it is to cause trouble. You and Takekage go with me, that's enough. β
nodded lightly yes, thought about it and persuaded: "Madam, why don't you bring a weapon for self-defense?" β
Izuku hesitated for a moment: "King Cheng's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are guards from the Heavenly Emperor, what are you afraid of?" But having said that, she smiled and said to Dan Xin, "Go and get the dagger on my desk." β
He hurriedly took the order, and after a while, he came over with a dagger in his hand, and sighed: "You still put such a cold and hard thing at the head of the bed, I feel cold just by holding it, and I want to shiver." As she spoke, she put the dagger in Dexiu's hand and commented, "But this dagger is so beautiful." β
Izuku didn't speak again, and took the dagger from Danxin's hand with a smile. It's not so much a dagger as a beautiful piece of play, because it's so ornate that it can make you forget what it was supposed to do. The ruby inlaid on the daggard is clear and dazzling, and the deeply engraved word "deep" on the dagger is so engraved that people have to remember it.
However, I can't remember it, did she leave this dagger because of Yun Ci? Or is it because of Shen Yu?
Gathering his thoughts, Izuku hurriedly put the dagger in his sleeve, raised his eyes to look at the clear night, and couldn't help sighing: "It was originally a great night scene, but I was going to an emperor's banquet with an unknown future...... Tonight in front of the Heavenly Emperor, the two of you are cautious and careful. β
"Yes." Zhuying and Danxin replied in unison, followed out of Zhiyanxuan, and went straight to the direction of the gate. The cloud mansion, which has been prosperous for hundreds of years, is magnificent and solemn, and the main gate of vermilion paint slowly opens, making a low and solemn sound. Out of Xiu stepped out in a gorgeous costume, and got into the carriage of King Cheng's Mansion with a light heart and bamboo shadow, and went to this delicate night banquet.
*****
Tonight's small banquet was set up in the Star Picking Tower on the south side of King Cheng's Mansion. This is the highest small building in the Chengwang Mansion, ten stories high, one layer is getting sharper and narrower, from the outside, it is like a pagoda with a wide bottom and a pointed head. The glazed tiles on the roof of the building are dotted with gold paint, and the eaves of the tenth floor are full of lanterns, reflecting the gold paint on the glazed tiles with a dotted luster, and whoever ascends to the highest floor will have the illusion of holding a lamp and picking up the stars.
In the night breeze, there is a fragrance of lotus flowers, and the smoke wave is cool, which is extraordinarily pleasant. Under the guidance of the attendants, Izuku walked towards the Star Picking Tower, she obviously saw that the small building with flickering lights was close in front of her, but it really took a lot of effort to really walk over. With the bamboo shadow and indifferent heart, turn the hand-copying verandah, and what catches your eye is a lake, and you can really reach the outside of the star-picking building garden by crossing the white jade arch bridge along the lake.
As soon as he walked to the deep gate of the small garden, suddenly a person stopped him: "Madam, don't be strange, by the will of the Holy Lord, all those who enter the garden need to be searched." β
Frisk? Wouldn't the dagger in his sleeve also be searched? Izumi was annoyed by her carelessness and forgot that she couldn't carry sharp weapons in front of the emperor. Seeing that a female guard had searched all over Danxin's body, and Takekage was forced to hand over her sword, she knew that she had to hand over the dagger no matter what.
Izuku pondered for a moment and asked the rather familiar guard, "Are you Lord Cen?" She remembered that in the past, there was a guard named "Cen Jiang" by King Mu's side, and it must have been this person.
The young guard chuckled, "Madame remember? Under it is the three guards with knives in front of the emperor, Cen Jiang. β
"Lord Cen, long time no see." Out of Xiu smiled lightly and said: "It's not a secret, the concubine has a self-defense dagger, so she naturally wants to hand it over, but please return it to the concubine after the night banquet is over." Izuku paused for a moment and added, "This dagger is very important to the concubine's body. β
Cen Jiang pondered for a moment, nodded and was about to say the word "good", when he suddenly heard a greeting behind him: "Lord Cen, has Mrs. Chuxiu arrived?" β
This voice is...... Izuku suddenly panicked, inexplicably feeling a little weak, and the dagger in her sleeve suddenly became a thousand pounds, so heavy that she couldn't bear it.
Cen Jiang didn't notice Xiu's abnormality, looked behind him, and asked, "General Shen, is the Holy Lord in a hurry?" β
Shen Yu didn't answer again, and walked towards the deep gate, today he was also dressed in civilian clothes, still his favorite lake blue, which complemented the water blue skirt of Xiu. Now his official residence is from the third grade, but Cen Jiang is the third rank of the imperial guard, so Shen Yu's official position is half a level lower than Cen Jiang.
But seeing that at this moment, Shen Yu had walked to the deep gate with his hands upright, and took the lead in saluting Cen Jiang: "Lord Cen." β
Cen Jiang bowed politely: "General Shen doesn't have to be polite. β
Shen Yu didn't show too much expression on his face, and instead greeted Xiu politely: "Madame has arrived, please come in, the Holy Lord will still ask about you." β
In front of outsiders, each other still has to abide by etiquette, so Xiu bowed slightly, which can be regarded as a return of courtesy to Shen Yu.
Cen Jiang didn't feel much embarrassed when he saw this, so he only said to Chu Xiu: "Then please ask Mrs. to hand over the dagger, and after the banquet, it will be returned as the original thing." β
When Chu Xiu heard this, he only clutched his cuffs tightly, but he didn't dare to take out the dagger in front of Shen Yu. She felt like an emotional fugitive, being chased by Shen Yu, and at this moment, she had nowhere to run but to show up.
Cen Jiang saw that she was silent and motionless, and urged again: "Madam, the Mo Sect Saint is in a hurry, you see that General Shen has come out to ask." β
Out of Xiu didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Shen Yu, who was five steps away, so he had to slowly take out the dagger in his sleeve and hand it over to Cen Jiang. The latter immediately let out a low voice of admiration, and commented: "This dagger is cold in the hand, small and delicate, not a vulgar thing. After that, he paused for a moment and praised again: "If you can win the favor of your wife, you must not be a vulgar thing." β
Izuku was still silent, and a female guard on the other side had already walked up to her and said respectfully: "Madam, offended." Then I searched her briefly.
Izuku stood in place like petrified, waiting for the female guard to finish searching her body before burying her head in the Star Picking Tower. When he walked past Shen Yu's side, he suddenly heard him call in a low voice: "Madam." β
Izuxiu's footsteps paused slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with General Shen?" She pretended to look up inadvertently, only to see that Shen Yu's handsome eyes were shining with colorful stars, and what was hidden in them was a smile, both surprised and happy.
His lips were slightly hooked, and a deep and magnetic voice slowly sounded: "Madame's dagger is very delicate and ...... With you. β
Hearing this, I regretted that my intestines were blue. There are so many small sharp weapons in the Yun Mansion, why did he bring this dagger with him? Why was he seen by Shen Yu? The last sentence he said just now clearly contained a thousand deep meanings, as if to remind her that the mandarin duck dagger each held one hand, and the other dagger was now there for him.
The breath of Shen Yu beside him suddenly pressed, almost suffocating. The panic in Izuxiu's heart could no longer be concealed, so he said without hesitation: "Thank you for the general's compliment, this dagger is a relic of the late husband, and the concubine naturally cherishes it." β
"Really?" Shen Yuyun asked with a light smile, clearly seeing her panic and weakness.
Izumi was afraid that there would be too many mistakes to say, and there were many people here, so she didn't dare to say more, so she quickly changed the topic, and said to Danxin and Zhuying: "When I saw our uncle, why did you forget the rules?" That breath was a rare eagerness and rebuke.
Danxin and Zhuying immediately understood, and saluted Shen Yu together: "The subordinates (slaves) have seen my uncle." β
This time, Shen Yu didn't lose his temper when he heard the word "uncle", and he didn't even have a trace of coldness. His eyes as deep as a secluded pool flowed with a surging tide of emotion, with feelings that could not be ignored, and he smiled loudly at the two of them: "No need to be formal. β
Izuku didn't dare to look at his expression anymore, let alone stay longer, so he pursed his lips and hurriedly stepped into the Star Picking Tower.
