Chapter 20: Suspicion
The Queen Mother's eyes swept across the audience with some embarrassment, cleared her throat and said, "Concubine Zhao is really a wonderful person!" ”
That Chu Zhaoyi echoed twice, and then drank it sullenly with a wine glass. I was feeling smug in my heart, but I saw that Willow was looking at me with a strange gaze, and there was an indescribable deep meaning in his expression. Isn't he glad I passed the test so smoothly?
Thinking that it was a banquet in the palace, it was really a little bad for me to be in the limelight alone, so I ate quietly after sitting down, just waiting for the banquet to end, so that I could go back to the Jingxuan Hall to rest.
Chu Zhaoyi suddenly toasted me very politely, I had to pick up the cup and take a shallow sip, only after sipping did I know that I was quite strong enough to drink, and I began to get dizzy after just one sip. Let Ni Meng secretly change my wine to white water, and then raise the glass to toast to everyone frequently, and drink very happily.
After watching some boring singing and dancing, the palace concubines said some scenes to each other, and the palace banquet was finally over.
Wei Luo accompanied me back to the Jing Xuan Hall to keep the New Year, in the center of the hall there was a Su Hexiang, there was a faint sweet smell in the air, the flickering candlelight through the layers of vermilion tulle curtains, gently slid through Wei Luo's deep eyes, for a while the atmosphere was a little charming.
"Tassel, it's a last resort for you to sing about your appearance today, I only know that you will definitely be able to sing this one." Willow sat in the armchair across from me, staring at me with burning eyes.
"Fortunately, you let me sing about my appearance, I heard Princess Zhaowen sing a few times when I was in Lou Wanggong before, and I also wrote it down. If you don't mention it, I won't be able to remember, then I'm afraid my identity today is completely worn out. He took the jujube-scented Pu'er tea, took a sip, and looked at Wei Luo with a sparkling expression.
"What did you say?!" Wei Luo's figure was stunned, and his narrow eyes widened, "Have you heard Princess Zhaowen sing?" ”
Seeing that he was so abnormal, I put the bowl back on the table, thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what I just said. What was Willow surprised about?
Afraid that he would make a mistake if he said too much, he nodded at him vaguely and changed the topic: "Doctor Han hasn't come back until now, have you sent someone to look for her?" ”
Willow sat there with a grim face, ignoring what I said. I gave Mue a look and asked me what I was saying wrong, and Mue shook her head at me, signaling that she didn't understand either.
My clenched fists trembled slightly, not because I was worried about the situation I would face if my identity was revealed, but because I was worried that Willow would be able to bear it if she knew such a truth.
"The widow went to Huichun Palace to accompany the Queen Mother to keep the New Year, if you don't want to keep it, go to bed early!" Veloc stood to his feet, his deep voice revealing cold detachment. After finishing speaking, he shook the white fox fur trim and walked out of the Jingxuan Hall quickly.
It was the first time he had called himself "widow" in front of me, and I staggered a few steps to the door, falling to the threshold. Looking at his white figure, he gradually disappeared into the lights of Yeyang Palace, and the fierce cold wind blew a few dark clouds, covering the dim waning moon......
I still have feelings for him after all.
Ni Meng helped me to the bed, carefully helped me tuck the quilt corners, and patted me gently on the back of my hand with a fat hand: "Sister Le, don't worry, the king loves you so much, even if he knows that you are not really tasseled, he will not blame you." ”
"His affection for me is only because he thinks I am a tassel, and as soon as he finds out that I am not, he will take it all back......" I leaned on the bed, staring at the strings of tassels falling on the curtain, and felt sad in my heart.
In the next few days, Wei Luo rested in the Qiushi Palace, and specially asked Li Zesheng, the internal supervisor, to pass on the decree, so that I would not step out of the door of the Jingxuan Hall if I had nothing to do.
I don't know why a song of appearance reminiscences will reveal my identity, so I lean on the couch every day and sigh, sighing and sighing not to sigh to Willow, but to sigh to Grace.
After lunch that day, my group watched Ni Meng smile at me on the couch, and danced a self-created Sha Shi waving dance, as the name suggests, her dance from beginning to end appeared the most is a variety of waving movements. Ni Meng was waving happily, and Azero stepped into the threshold, and then was slapped in the face by the dancing Ni Meng......
Immediately, both of them froze in place, and I hurriedly got up and pulled Yazi over, explaining for Ni Meng: "That, Mu Meng is dancing, she didn't mean to." Yazi shook her head and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I heard that you were banned by the king as soon as I returned to the palace, so I came to see you." ”
Let Nimeng go down to serve tea, lead Yazi into the inner room, and ask about her situation after she fell off the horse that day.
"After falling off the horse, I suffered some minor injuries, and chased in the direction of Tongshan, but the speed of chasing the wind was too fast, knowing that you couldn't stop it for a while, I returned to Tongzhan's Fulai Inn to wait for you, but I didn't see you for a few days, so I went back to the palace to see, thinking that you should come back before me." Artistry put the bamboo basket behind her on the table and said softly.
"I was worried about the previous officials, so I stayed in another inn." Curious, I opened the bamboo basket she had placed on the table, "What the hell are you in this basket?" ”
Yazi looked stunned, and when she wanted to stop it, I had already pulled out a dark green black snake about a few feet long from the bamboo basket. He calmly put the black snake back into the basket, closed the lid and sat down on the edge of the bed with a pale face, and said to the duck: "I'll faint for a while!" ”
"Don't be afraid, the black snake is not venomous, I caught it for medicinal purposes." Yazi got up and approached me, "Don't look at it, it doesn't look good-looking, but it can dispel wind, clear the channel, and stop spasms, it's a treasure for a healer!" ”
Ni Meng came in with tea, and when she heard the second half of Artistry's words, she asked with great interest, "What kind of treasure is Dr. Han talking about, show me too!" ”
I nodded approvingly, and pointed to the bamboo basket with my fingers trembling slightly: "The baby is there, you have to look carefully!" ”
When the screams of the mud continued to echo in the sky above the Jingxuan Hall for half a pillar of incense, I realized that I had made a big mistake in doing so. Her screams not only strongly irritated my ears and Yats's ears, but also attracted Verlo, who was criticizing the excerpts in the Autumn Fruit Palace.
After Wei Luo entered the Jingxuan Palace, he didn't look at me directly, but he just found a mistake and ordered someone to take Ni Meng down. Ni Meng was married with me, and she naturally knows all my secrets, and Willow must have taken her away to find out my identity from her mouth. Although Mue Meng is timid, she is absolutely loyal to me, and if Vero can't ask something, will she be punished?
