Volume 1 Floating Life Chapter 57 Golden Autumn (4)

Jingtan didn't want to meet with Jia's family, so he found a wide view of the corridor to sit down, carefully look at this Xingle Palace, from the palace gate into is a large round pool, this pool was originally not, later the emperor thought that the space here is not good-looking so he built a new pool, the pool is surrounded by a long corridor, there is a banquet under the corridor, around a large round platform in the center of the pool, is one hundred and ten people sit down is not too crowded, the two have a board bridge to connect. This round platform is the battlefield of the dance and music division tonight, and the round platform is surrounded by a low fence made of white jade relief to prevent anyone from falling. The round platform is facing a two-storey octagonal building, the two-story plaque is engraved with the words "Tang Tang Competition", at this time it has been night, the building opens the window in all directions, hangs the glazed lantern of the Ming tile, the colorful glazed screen behind the upper outer corridor without a few cases, there are four songs, there are six songs, the Buddha statue on the screen, the landscape, the flowers and birds are lifelike, reflect each other, the whole Xingle Palace is very bright, the stage does not need to light the lamp to recognize the face of the dancing girl clearly. The octagonal building is convenient is a small peony garden, and then go inside is the agarwood pavilion, and the pavilion is not far from the small deer ridge.

At this time, all the guests came, the lanterns on the octagonal floor hung for a long time, and the long corridor surrounded by the glass screen reflected as if they wanted to illuminate the entire palace forbidden, the first floor of the Tangtang Jingxiu Building was set up for the banquet of the emperor and the princes, the emperor's seat was vacant, Jing Tan estimated that he would not come to his father's routine, and he would not come if he was not ready... Immediately followed by the seats under the corridor, the left is headed by the seat of the first silence, and a tea vessel and vegetables and fruits are placed on several tables, but the seat is still empty... After that, there are the envoys of the Western Regions, the courtiers who enter the palace for the banquet, and the right side is sitting in order are several princesses, and then a few concubines with faces are sitting according to their ranks, and then there are a group of relatives. Jing Tan sat down from behind the screen in a low-key manner.

As soon as he sat down, Gao Cheng's earth-shattering voice sounded: "The emperor has arrived-"

Everyone stood up and saluted, and Jing Tan said secretly: Sure enough, my father always stepped on the spot.....

The emperor motioned for everyone to be exempted, slowly walked up to the dragon seat, and said with a smile: "Today is a family banquet, you don't need to be restrained, drink and have fun, just be in your own home." ”

Everyone said yes again and again, and flattered them a few more words. I don't know if it's her illusion, she always looks this way from feeling the eyes of the envoys on the other side, she turned her head to look at Lan Qing and Yabai, only to see that Yabai was wearing a colorful dress embroidered with gold, and also painted oblique red, with the wine-yellow tulip yarn flower on the back of her head, the whole person looked very beautiful. Looking at Lan Qing again, the lower body is wearing a smoke-colored flower skirt, the upper body is wearing a cinnamon green apricot forest spring swallow brocade dress, and the outer body is draped with a mirror flower silk shawl, and the crisp chest is slightly leaking, full of charm.

Jingtan nodded silently, thinking that they should be looking at her two sisters. The wine has been on the table in the back of the mind, the enamel of the eight immortals across the sea is filled with bone mash, before the lid is opened, the aroma of wine has hit, Jing Tan couldn't wait to pour a cup, picked up the Pisces wild goose pattern lotus leaf gold cup and drank it all, a coolness instantly invaded the whole body, provoked her to shiver, and then there was a fragrance spread between her lips and teeth, which did not disperse for a long time.

Jing Tan sighed secretly: "Father has such good things, why did he take them out now.....

Ah Heng said nervously behind him: "Why don't you pay attention, the princess eats cold wine again?" The princess wants to eat wine, and wait for the slave to be scalded before eating. So saying, he went to get her self-pouring pot.

Jing Tan stopped him and said: "I like to drink cold, it's rare to drink Tibetan wine, and you won't let me drink it to my heart's content." ”

Ah Heng reluctantly withdrew his hand and said, "Then don't drink first, use something before drinking." ”

She looked at the delicate dim sum in front of her, but she couldn't name it, she tasted a piece, and Ah Heng explained on the side: "The dim sum that the princess tasted is called Jushengnu, which is made of crisp honey. Then he put another piece of dim sum in her bowl and introduced: "Next to it is a single cage of golden milk crisp and a small cake used by the princess that day." ”

Jing Tan tasted it one by one and felt that it was a little sweet in her mouth, so she poured another cup of bone mash and drank it all.

At this time, the stage was performing "Twelve Heavens Demon Dance", she was tired of listening to the music of the pipa, although it was different from previous years, but it was still a change of soup without changing the medicine, there was nothing new, Jing Tan didn't want to look at it after watching it for a while, and then looked at the opposite side, there was still no one on the seat, I didn't feel a little bored, and I happened to look at the eyes of Shang Jiaming, only to see Jiaming raise a glass to her, toast her, Jing Tan also raised the cup to him in return.

I looked down and saw a crab in the carved porcelain plate, and a chrysanthemum petal was placed next to the crab....I looked at Lan Qing, but I saw that she was also looking at the crab on the plate for a long time, was she thinking about the person who loves crabs....

Jing Tan seemed to be choked with something in her heart for a while, and she didn't want to eat crabs, so she directly took the plate of crabs and poured herself into the pot and quietly retreated.

Ah Heng followed: "Where is the princess?" ”

Jing Tan only felt that the robe that dragged the ground was a little cumbersome, so she took off the robe and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "It's a little hot during the banquet, I'll go for a walk, you go back, so as not to be suspicious." ”

Ah Heng took the robe and said worriedly: "The slave will go with the princess...."

She smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't go far, I'll be back soon." So saying, he walked to the peony garden.

Ah Heng hesitated in place for a moment, seeing that her pace was quite steady, and she had to return to the table.

The peonies in the peony garden have not yet bloomed, and the flower garden is only a green piece at this time, without much color. Jingtan went straight to the Agarwood Pavilion, said that it was a pavilion, but rather a four-corner attic, at this time the carved doors and windows on all sides were open, the door frame had a soft smoke curtain hanging to the ground, and the glazed tiles on the second floor were shining brightly against the backdrop of the lights of the Tangtang Jingxiu Building. She lifted the gauze tent and went in, there seemed to be someone here, there was a flickering gauze lamp on the case, Jingtan put the crab down, took the gauze cover, inside was an unburned red candle, and then took out the pear blossom hairpin from the back of her head and picked up the lamp flower, and then covered it, and the light brightened a lot in an instant.

In front of the case is a window open to the moon, this position just can see the moon hanging in the air, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon is so full that you can't see a trace of edges and corners. Thinking like this, she put the crab in the right position, and poured the wine on the ground in a gesture of sacrificing wine, clasped her palms together, and said to the moon outside: "Jiyue, I haven't dreamed of you for a long time, the nightmare was caught by you before, I don't know if you have something to say, I'm stupid, maybe you want to dream for the big sister and it turned out to be me... Although I don't know what you want to say, but I have something to bring to you, when you left, the big sister was in pain, almost ... but fortunately, I was rescued by Mr., Mr. He is a person who saves the suffering, he is a Bodhisattva..."She paused, laughed at herself, it seemed that her words were biased..."In short, Jiyue, you can rest assured, the big sister is all right now, so many years, she has never been able to let go of your affairs....She now has some misunderstandings about me, just misunderstand, it is also a little sustenance for her, After all, there is a reason for your affairs, if there is reincarnation, I don't know if you are reincarnated, if you are reincarnated, I don't know where you went to, you are such a good person..."

When she was six years old, she could clearly remember the memory of Ji Yue, only the night when Lan Qing came to her with a sword, it was the only time she saw the strange Lan Qing for so many years, the appearance of mental disorder, empty eyes, as if everything in the world was gray under her eyes....

"Ji Yue, maybe I shouldn't have robbed the prison in the first place, if I had been more peaceful and didn't go to Meiyuan, maybe you wouldn't have died, and you wouldn't have been killed..."

Just as Jing Tan was choking on the moon, the voice of the broken jade suddenly sounded behind him: "If there is a mistake, you should try your best to remedy it, if you can't remedy it, you will have a memory in your heart, and you will not do it again in the future." ”

"Who!" Jing Tan was shocked, she didn't hear who was making the voice for a while, she looked around, and saw a person slowly walking out from behind the gauze tent, with a snow-white monk's robe and a jade-like face... Jing Tan's surprised expression froze on her face.

Jing Tan turned her back and wiped her face, a little embarrassed for a while, and pretended to be annoyed: "Why don't you squeak when Mr. comes, Bai has watched the drama here for a long time..."

Chu Shi couldn't help laughing, remembering the rippling eyes in front of Fang Cai, he subconsciously took out the silk handkerchief from his sleeve and wanted to hand it to her, who knew that his hand was raised to the air, his heart suddenly tightened, and the familiar pain struck, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand tremblingly, and after a moment's relief, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's the poor monk, Fang Cai originally wanted to remind the princess, but the princess prayed to the moon, and the poor monk couldn't interject for a while, and he got the opportunity to speak." ”

Jing Tan turned around, but saw that he was bowing to him with low eyebrows, and the embarrassment was mostly gone, and he hurriedly said: "It's not good for me, I didn't know that Mr. would be here...."

She thought about it for a moment, suddenly realized something, looked at him in confusion, and asked, "Why is the gentleman here?" ”

He turned his head to pick up the lantern and whispered, "Poor monk... The poor monk looked at the moonlight here, and he didn't feel stupid, and he didn't want to miss the time. ”

For some reason, when she heard this, she always felt that it sounded a little weird... Mr. is a self-disciplined person, since he has received the post, there will be no reason for absence, let alone delay.

Just when she was confused, she heard him ask softly: "I accidentally listened to what the princess said to the old man, but I don't know who the old man is, so let the princess tell the chief of the moon here." ”

As soon as he asked, she unconsciously put Fang Cai's confusion behind her, laughed at herself, and said, "Sir, when I was six years old, I did something wrong because of my stupidity and ignorance, and killed a man...."

She leaned on the desk and was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "Her name is Ji Yue, and she is the eldest sister's chamberlain..."

Because of the face of her eldest sister, she didn't tell her eldest sister about her affair with Ji Yue. Ji Yue's matter has been held in her heart for many years, this is the first time she has confided this, maybe because the other party is the first death, she feels careless.
