Chapter 37: The Palace Banquet

Previous Chapter

I was shocked in my heart - do you want to give it up? In the past, I got a lot of things that ordinary people couldn't get in their lifetime, but now, all of them have been wasted.

"And what did I get?" I muttered in his ear, and Chu Zhilan chuckled, "The world is impermanent, just do your best." ”

"Just do your best?"

"Try your best, and you won't regret it."

There was a knock on the door, slowly with temptation, Chu Zhilan let go of me when he heard the sound, I opened the door, and saw Qin Huaiyue bowing his head and taking a few steps back.

"What?" I cleared my throat and still had the prince's score on the table.

"Towards ... Princess. "Qin Huai has blessed his body, and he still looks so pitiful." For tonight's palace banquet, I want the king and the prince and concubine to go, and I also ask the prince and concubine to prepare early. ”

Palace banquet?

"What palace feast? Why didn't you dare tell me sooner? ”

Just kidding, if you want to enter the palace, I don't have a maid in this garden to help comb my hair, and my hair is scattered.

Qin Huaiyue pointed behind him, and several maids stood there, bowing their heads and saluting me, "Princess." ”

"After today, they will leave, rest assured, they will not stay here for long."

I beckoned, let a few little girls come in, looked at it and saw that there was no problem, and then looked back at Chu Zhilan who was drinking tea in the house.

"Let them in?"

Chu Zhilan didn't speak. I hurriedly drove Qin Huaiyu out and let a few little girls in.

It seems that he was taught early not to look casually, several maids are very peaceful, and they keep their heads down, and one of them seems to be the leader inside, and he is the first to speak: "Princess Prince, we are the maids who help Princess Prince dress up, may I ask how Princess Prince wants to make up?" ”

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I instructed people, and I almost forgot how to be a dignitary, I was sitting on my lap and pointed to Chu Zhilan beside me.

"See that man?"

The room was quiet, and no one dared to look up at him, and no one dared to speak.

I was a little impatient, "I'm blind!" Ask if you see! ”

"Look, I see." The leading maid quickly knelt down and nodded busily.

I bent down, cupped her chin, and smiled, "Dress him up exactly like you, that's what I'm asking for today." ”

I sat in the sedan chair, and Bai Tingyu smiled all the way. I lifted the towel curtain on the side, and Chu Zhilan, who was wearing women's clothes, was tall and tall, accompanying her beside the sedan chair.

Seeing me lift the curtain, he lowered his eyebrows sideways and whispered, "What do you command?" The voice was not deliberately disguised.

Before I could speak, Bai Tingyu came over from behind, "Bring the hand stove to this king." "The window on the sedan chair is not big, I saw Bai Tingyu making fun, it was too crowded, so I sat back, and after a while, a big snowball smashed in from the outside, just smashed on Bai Tingyu's face. Bai Tingyu sat on the buttocks and was smashed to the point of "eh".

"Chu Wen, don't go too far!"

I was lying in front of the window, and I could just see Chu Zhilan wearing a bun with a flower. Looking left and right, before he arrived at the palace, he saw that there was no one else around, so he reached out and touched it, and then touched his veil to cover his scars.

He was a little helpless, "What's wrong?" Soon we will be at the palace, so sit back. ”

"Guess what, I don't want to go now, I just want to be with my little maid and love love, I'm very happy."

He frowned, "The little maid may not be happy. ”

"It's okay, I know you're tired, when the banquet is over, I'll kick this guy off the sedan chair, you come up, we'll be happy together."

There were many people at the palace banquet, except for the queen and the king of Yunjiang, who had not appeared for a long time, I didn't know any of them, but I just sat behind Bai Tingyu, and took advantage of Chu Zhilan to pour wine for me, and secretly touched him twice. Deliberately ignore the strange stares coming from other places at the banquet.

Bai Tingyu is one of the few princes of King Yunjiang, except for King Li, the only adult prince, but because of the impact of King Qin's affairs, he has been excluded by others. Otherwise, if you marry me, the princess of the dead country, the unfortunate thing of others abandoning their wives will not be his turn.

"Anyway, we came out, it doesn't matter if Senior Brother Li Yang is alone, right?"

"Don't worry, he's almost fine." The wine in my glass was empty, and he added another glass to me, "Besides, Bai Tingyu's people, you don't need to take him too seriously, someone cares." ”

"Wow, you're talking with a prickly today!" I raised my glass slightly, "Fill me with wine." ”

Suddenly, the string music in the entire hall stopped, and the sickly-looking King of Yunjiang walked in. Because I have been drunk by Chu Zhilan, I was a little dizzy, and I was a little unstable when I stood up, but fortunately, Chu Zhilan supported my body with one hand.

The king of Yunjiang waved his hand, as if he couldn't say a word, and the queen supported him and said on his behalf: "All of you sit down." ”

"I think you also know that today, only our family got together, just for King Min to marry the noble princess of the neighboring country, the king has been in poor health recently, and I will first toast a glass of wine to the newlyweds."

An old woman I didn't recognize at the bottom of the seat stood up and smiled happily at me, "I'm dizzy, and I can't see the princess's appearance clearly, but since I'm Yu'er's concubine, it must be good, and I'll also drink a cup for the newcomer!" ”

Before she could lift the wine glass, Bai Tingyu walked straight over and gently took the glass in her hand. "Grandma, don't drink at such an old age, just get your heart, I understand Yu'er."

I hurriedly poked Chu Zhilan behind me secretly, and he filled the wine glass in my hand, "That's the aunt of the King of Yunjiang, the daughter of the King of Yanpei." ”

I still know what to say, so I hurriedly stepped forward with a fake smile and persuaded Bai Tingyu together.

It is estimated that this aunt and grandmother have majesty, and at the banquet after that, there were few inquiring eyes, and I wanted to use this banquet to see what the ruthless Liwang Baiting Mountain looked like with this banquet, but the seat next to me has always been empty, and no one asked, so I will inevitably have some expectations disappointed.

To tell the truth, since the matter has come to this, I must avenge it, but I don't hate this person to the point of digging out my heart, maybe I haven't seen him, and for a person who has no intersection, hatred seems to have no foothold.

The banquet was long, I had expected it for a long time, but I drank too much, I didn't expect it, I thought that Chu Zhilan should stop me from drinking next to me, but this person kept adding wine to me, and even deliberately poured me a little meaning.

"I drank a little too much." I whispered.

"Then let's go back."

I froze, my face a little hot, "I didn't mean that, I mean, I'm going to be complimentary." ”

Chu Zhilan stood up, took a few steps back and helped me up, I staggered and dizzy.

"What do you say you're doing with me today?" I whispered, "You won't retaliate against me because I made you wear women's clothes!" Watch your eyes. ”

The wind in the apse was a little strong, and I was in a hurry to go back to the main hall, so I walked a little fast, and the cold wind was cold, and I was more sober. Chu Zhilan lowered her head and bent down to follow me, her steps gradually picking up, and she seemed to be more anxious than me.

"You are a maid now, you can't walk in front of your master, you can walk so fast, and I am not a duck for you to chase."

My hand was suddenly grabbed by him, and there were palace maids and attendants walking back and forth in the apse, but they all lowered their heads.

"Qingyi, you're drunk, let's go back."

I was a little worried about being seen, so I shook off his hand with some strength and whispered, "What's wrong with you?" I've never seen you so impatient to fall in love with me on weekdays. ”

Chu Zhilan's voice suddenly softened, "Qingyi, please, go back." ”

I was wondering Chu Zhilan's attitude, but I saw a servant girl next to me bowing her head halfway and suddenly kneeling down behind me,

"Your Excellency."

"Go down."

The servant bowed back and I took Chu Zhilan's hand, squeezed it, and saw my own smile in his hidden uneasy eyes.

Turn around, kneel, bow,

"Courtier Xu Chaodu, please Wang Shang'an."

Qi Yucheng, this worship, we are clear.

It's not that I don't dare to look up, I just don't want to, my forehead rests on my hands, and I only look at the white fox fur under me. The man in front of me didn't tell me to get up, nor did he say a word.

After a moment of silence, Chu Zhilan forcefully helped me up, and my courage collapsed the moment I stood up.

"Your Majesty, our princess is sick and can't kneel for a long time, please let her go back for the sake of her lack of energy."

I hugged Chu Zhilan and shook my head, I didn't want Qi Yucheng to pay attention to him.

"Who are you?" A contemptuous voice came, and I protected Chu Zhilan behind me, opened my eyes and said nonsense:

"She's my maid."

"Handmaiden? Are you blind to me? Morning and twilight? ”

I could hear a little trembling in his voice, though mine wasn't much better.

"She's my maid, my bodyguard, my savior, the only person I can rely on right now, is... It's me...," I said, and I couldn't stop crying.

"It's my lover who I believe will never abandon me."

"Morning and dusk, I have never abandoned you."

I could hear him crying, I had a splitting headache, as if something was hiding in the back of my mind trying to escape.

Outside the warm tent of Hibiscus, there was cold blood and tears, and the vows flowed out of the hotbed, frozen into pieces of broken phantom mirrors.

"Twilight, I'll pick you up. Believe me. ”

The limbs were cold and weak, and every wound cried out for their pain, who would have thought that the bubbling blood was a fresh life.

It's too late.

I braced my body, my hands trembling, and I tried to say every word, "I forgot, I forgot, it's late, it's late." You forgot about me. ”

My consciousness is still quite clear, but my limbs are no longer controlled, I can feel Chu Zhilan holding me in the apse, and in the end, I only have the strength to say a word to him:.

"If you don't know about the child, don't tell him."
