Chapter 54: Unintentional Night Banquet

I took the stove and hesitated in place for a long time, but I still didn't wait for Bixiu to return, just afraid that she would think that I had sent the night banquet and rushed over myself.

After thinking about it, I still decided to send it over, and it was a big deal to have someone bring Yao Yingxue and leave secretly.

I made my way to the garden.

Along the way, I found that Yao Yingxue really arranged Shangyang Palace exquisitely and elegantly, with bright lights everywhere, on the treetops and under the eaves, all kinds of lanterns were hung, exquisitely clear, beautiful, reflecting a bright moon in the sky, Shangyang Palace is more like a brilliant galaxy.

But I don't know how many undercurrents are hidden under this seemingly calm galaxy.

After passing through the flower path, you can see a prosperous scene in front of you.

It's already night, the garden is still brightly lit, countless eunuchs and palace maids are shuttling through the crowd with jade liquid elixir, and the atmosphere of the dinner party has reached a climax at this moment.

I stood far away, surrounded by guards and palace maids, and the first thing I saw was the emperor on the throne.

When today's Zi Pei Ji is a thin and pale middle-aged man, his health has not been good, since entering the palace, he often heard the news that the emperor was sick with the dragon's body, but he rarely heard of the consultation of the Tai Hospital, because he believed in Taoism, and heard that there was a warlock in the inner palace who was always accompanied by a warlock, meditating and alchemy all day long, in order to live forever.

Sitting beside him was Empress Yin.

This queen is not the emperor's original match, but three years after the first queen died of illness, she was crowned as a virtuous concubine at that time, and since then she has been the mother of the world. She is also nearly fifty years old, but her skin is still smooth, her phoenix eyes are affectionate, and her willow eyebrows are windy, she is a rare beauty.

Prince Pei Yuanxiu's handsomeness is like a heavenly man, and it is also thanks to this unearthly mother.

At this moment, he is sitting upright under the emperor's left hand, still dressed in white like snow, his eyebrows are clear and picturesque, but his expression is not like the usual idleness, his eyes are always shuttling through the crowd, as if he is looking for something.

At this time, a glass of wine flashing with amber night light was handed to him, Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look, but it was the crown princess Nangong Lizhu who smiled at him slightly, her smile was like a flower, and in an instant, the entire night banquet lost its color, Pei Yuanxiu took it with a smile and drank it all.

Nangong Lizhu looked at him, his eyes flowing, flowing to the opposite side of them, but he only glanced at him.

Opposite them was the Third Highness Pei Yuanhao.

Since that day, I haven't seen him again, still as cold as usual, he looked at the pair opposite, his face was silent, pouring wine one by one, but Yao Yingxue on the side didn't see anything, only nervously watched the reaction of the emperor and the queen, as if he was afraid that if one of them was not satisfied, he would suffer.

Seeing this scene, a trace of trepidation welled up in my heart.

So I stood on tiptoe gently, wanting to beckon a little palace maid to come over and bring the stove to Yao Yingxue, and then leave quickly.

Who knew that I just looked up, but found that Queen Yin raised her head, and the slender phoenix eyes happened to meet my sight, her eyes were sharp, as if she had seen my heart at once.

"That palace maid, what are you doing standing there?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes turned to me.
