Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Enemy Meets Each Other
Jiang Yu looked at the majestic heavy eaves and nine ridges in front of her, with staggered arches and yellow tiles.
In front of them, there are ten stone pillars side by side, each carved with two dragons, one on top and one below, coiled and soared. What a palatial and luxurious palace.
Walking into the main hall, there are large cases of pear marble on both sides, and in the middle of the innermost place is a vermilion lacquer square platform about two meters high, on which is placed a golden lacquer carved dragon throne.
There are six tall golden pillars of dragons on both sides of the square platform, and a huge carved dragon coiled on each pillar.
This is one of the most lively banquets of the year, and the people who arrive early in the Chonghua Hall start chatting around.
The conscientious ministers did not forget to discuss a few words of political affairs at this time, and most of the female dependents gathered in groups to chat about gossip.
Originally, Jiang Yu was inconspicuous, but there was a powerful regent standing next to her. As soon as he entered the main hall, he immediately focused everyone's attention.
Whispers were heard in every corner of the main hall
"No, the regent really brought a woman today?"
"I don't think this woman is very good, at least not enough to surprise the four. Hey, what kind of ecstasy soup did you say she poured into the prince? ”
"What is her background? Did any of you find out? ”
"I heard that she is the adopted daughter of the prefect of Huaizhou, hasn't the regent been in Huaizhou all this time? Maybe, it's just stumbling over beauty. ”
"How did I hear that the adopted daughter of the prefect of Huaizhou is a demented girl, and her IQ is still stuck in childhood. I don't look like it. ”
"Her face is not bad, look at the tear mole under her eyes is naturally seductive, the prince may like this."
"Isn't it easy if this master likes it? Not to mention dementia, terminal illnesses can cure her. ”
Individual voices will also come directly to Jiang Yu's ears, she fully accepts it, and she is used to being the focus of discussion. She's afraid no one will notice her tonight.
Pinching the hour, Jiang Yu chose a suitable seat and sat down. "Go sit in your place, leave me alone, I'll take care of myself."
If Shen Yanxi sits with her, he will inevitably mess up the etiquette and humility.
Shen Yanxi looked around at the surrounding ladies and nodded: "Then I'll go, you will eat more later." ”
The closest was Mrs. Tobe, who glanced unnaturally to the side, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity to see the immortals up close. I had to peek at it secretly.
Secretly said: "Wow, as cold as the regent, the regent will actually tell him to eat more." ”
But she knew that Shen Yanxi's true intention was to let Jiang Yu relax and not have to care about the people next to her.
Including the one on the throne.
Shen Yanxi had almost counted the hour, and no one was later than him. After a while, everyone was seated. Waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
Mrs. Hubu Shilang was still secretly looking at Jiang Yu, only to see that her skin was as smooth as jade, smooth and delicate, and a pair of jade hands were slender and slender, and the whole person was as charming as a nine-day fairy, which was amazing.
Jiang Yu also generously smiled back to Mrs. Shilang.
The emperor's personal eunuch was the first to walk out, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
The ceremonial director asked the emperor to sit on the throne first. As soon as the emperor walked out, the hundred officials got up. The uplifting tune resounded throughout the hall, and the band began to play.
Jiang Yu's eyes looked at the bright yellow, and because the seats were far apart, she could only vaguely see her figure.
Lost weight.
When the emperor was seated, the music stopped, and then firecrackers rang out.
Hundreds of officials saluted the emperor.
Memories rose from Jiang Yu's mind.
"Sister."
The immature children's voice seems to be close to the ear, and the advice of Eniang seems to be vivid. "Child, you will have company in the palace in the future. You must love each other. ”
Once upon a time, Jiang Yu thought that she was going to grow up with her royal brother under the knees of Eniang, but she couldn't achieve it after all.
The once most favored concubine died in childbirth, and she was as affectionate as an emperor. Among the many princes in the harem, their pair of princes and princesses who died were forgotten after all.
Later, the soft little boy became the one on the throne, grew up quickly, and began to kill decisively, just like his father.
"How about it, the emperor's dragon yang is vigorous. Take a few more puffs, you'll be blessed. Some people will never see the emperor in their lives. ”
Jiang Yu turned her head, and it turned out that Mrs. Shilang was talking to her.
For a moment, I didn't even notice when the opening was over. She sat down with all the officials.
The banquet was lively and vulgar, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and the joy was harmonious.
She looked up, her gaze wandering through the crowd, but not on anyone.
Finally, it landed on a familiar figure. Although they were far away, it only took one glance for Jiang Yu to know that their eyes must be on track.
Jiang Yu picked up the porcelain pot on the case and poured herself a cup of tea, and said to Mrs. Squire with a smile: "Mrs. is so blessed, the Squire of the Household Department is young and promising, and he will have a bright future." ”
"Hahahaha." Mrs. Shilang hid her face and laughed when she heard this: "Thank you, girl, I don't know what the girl's name is?" ”
"Jiang Xiaoyu."
"Little Fish Girl and the Regent?"
Jiang Yu was stunned, the head of the household was the upstart the year before she died in her previous life, and he had not yet married a wife at that time.
She still didn't know anything about this lady, and she didn't expect it to be so straightforward.
Jiang Yu pondered and said: "The prince has a very good relationship with my father. ”
When Mrs. Squire heard this, she smiled.
During the banquet, singing and dancing were leveled, and the sleeves fluttered; The bell rings and the chime is struck, and the music is melodious.
Halfway through the banquet, the Emperor left the table. Leave the civil and military officials to have a banquet on their own.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure walked towards Shen Yanxi.
She is tall, with a thin waist and a beautiful bun in her jet-black hair. The white cheeks are as pink as a peach blossom.
"General Shen, I salute you for this glass of wine."
Shen Yanxi looked up at the flashing eyes of the visitor, as if he casually raised his wine glass and collided with it in the air, and swallowed the wine.
The woman continued, "General Shen, how about you stay for a few months?" ”
Shen Yanxi's eyes were cold, and his thin lips lifted a sneer: "Girl, please respect yourself, you don't have to run after Shen at the banquet." ”
The woman's face turned pale and she took a step back.
Shen Yanxi put down the wine cup and stopped looking at her.
"It seems that I bothered General Shen, so I'll leave."
The woman walked away in embarrassment.
In the distance, Mrs. Shilang covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Oh my God, the talented girl has a hot face and a cold buttocks." ”
Jiang Yu followed Mrs. Shilang's gaze, "Who is this person?" ”
Mrs. Shilang muttered: "You don't know her, she is the first talented woman in Jiangnan, and she is very famous." Two years ago, I didn't know why I suddenly looked at the regent in the right eye. “
Saying that, Mrs. Shilang suddenly shocked herself that she had said the wrong thing, and she looked at the current celebrity of the regent: "But the regent has never given her a good face, don't mess with the prince when you go back." ”
Jiang Yu smiled: "Madame looks at me like a cautious person?" ”
Mrs. Squire stared at her for a moment and shook her head: "Not like that." ”
"Alright, tell me about the man. How is it? Jiang Yu gestured with her eyes.
Mrs. Shilang said, "Isn't that Xiao Shizi?" No, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth with the prince, there is no need to take a fancy to him, right? ”
Jiang Yu: "......"
"I mean, the woman next to him."
Jiang Yu looked over and walked through the layers of crowds. A familiar eye that could not be more familiar looked at her at her, and even raised his glass to her in the air.
"She, you don't need to know her. It's just a country pheasant that can't be on the table. ”
Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows: "Concubine?" ”
Mrs. Squire said, "Oh, I guessed wrong. She is very powerful, and soon Xiao Shizi will marry her, and she will be Mrs. Shizi in the future. ”
Jiang Yu's muscles tensed instantly when she heard this, she looked over again, and saw Xiao Shizi serving vegetables to the woman.
The woman lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and said something coquettishly.
For a moment, his eyes overlapped with the woman in the fox mask in the dark secret room.
Finally meet again.
Jiang He smiled at the corner of his mouth, and poured himself a glass of wine very skillfully, the tea cup was brought to his mouth, and then lifted it slightly, and the tea slowly slid into her mouth.
"After this, we have to give her luggage when we meet, oh, if you can marry into the palace, your status will also be high-pressure to her."
Madame Squire was bored and ate a few bites of the food on the table.
"Madame, don't make fun of me." Jiang Yu sneered.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone is bored, and they just greet each other perfunctorily and gossip a few words.
Singing and dancing are true, but they are a rare thing in the palace, which makes people only annoying.
For the first time, the regent sat peacefully until the end of the banquet.
The ministers walked out, and Shen Yanxi didn't know when he had come to Jiang Yu's side. "How did you eat at night?"
"It's not bad, the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room for many years is still a taste."
"It's only been two years."
"yes, it's so short."
"Let's go." Shen Yanxi took Jiang Yu up to the special carriage of the Regent's Mansion, "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while, and I will call you when you arrive." ”
Jiang Yu stared at the past, and her eyes flowed: "How can I sleep so much." ”
Horse-drawn carriages run on the official road at night.
A tranquil space where you can relax and unwind
***
The entrance to the Regent's Palace.
Shen Yanxi looked helplessly at the sleeping woman beside her. Fingers in front of your knees, two clicks at once.
On the fiftieth time, Shen Yanxi turned sideways and hugged the big man horizontally. got out of the carriage and went all the way to Jiang Yu's room.
Sure enough, I ate well and sank three taels.
After placing the person on the bed steadily, she sent a maid to come in and change her clothes.
The veil was lowered heavily, and a sachet was tied to it. The fragrance of the hidden brother wafts in the room, and every day someone will come to replace the soothing incense inside.
This scent can give people a smooth sleep and a dreamless night.
The moonlight was dim, and Shen Yanxi walked back to his room alone.
