Chapter 221: Becoming a Rebel Guard (22)
When the emperor announced the official start of the palace banquet, the orchestra silk bamboo sounded suddenly.
The incense curls into the falling clouds, and the dancers are graceful, like an orchid, like a swimming dragon.
Rong Tian seemed to inadvertently sweep Jiang Rao's face, she was eating pastries while looking at the dancing girl, and her focused eyes were not even half as good as the man.
Rong Tian: "......"
He lowered his eyes and pondered, and the dense and long eyelashes under the two thick eyebrows drooped slightly, casting a shadow on the lower eyelids, and his emotions were uncertain.
But for a moment, when he raised his eyes again, he still had a faint smile on his face, warm as jade.
From time to time, people toasted each other.
Staggered, laughter.
Jiang Rao stuffed the remaining small piece of pastry directly into her mouth and looked away from Maiji.
A burning gaze made her look back, the man's square face was solemn, and the sharp and deep gaze under the sword eyebrows was like a wolf and a tiger, staying on her unabashedly.
Looking at each other, the man did not withdraw his gaze, and maintained a look of contempt.
The woman beside him also looked at her from time to time with a complicated expression.
Jiang Rao instantly knew the identities of the two, and if she guessed correctly, they should be Xie Shuning's parents.
As such a formal palace banquet, Xie Shuning, who was the crown princess, did not attend, and they were naturally dissatisfied with her beside Rong Yan.
It seems that Xie Shuning told them about himself, otherwise his eyes would not be so contemptuous, mixed with hatred.
However, they will not embarrass her directly at the banquet without brains, after all, Rong Yan took her to the banquet.
Just look at it, she won't be short of meat.
So Jiang Rao just calmly took a sip of tea, looked away, and looked at the low table in front of her nonchalantly.
"Smack—"
There wasn't much movement of the beads on the ground, let alone the voices and tunes that were mixed around them.
But Jiang Rao was close, and when she looked at the sound, she saw the jade-colored Buddha beads not far from the table foot.
The bracelet is jade and round, crystal clear, and the texture is excellent when you look at it.
Like its owner, he is noble.
Jiang Rao turned to look sideways at the man next to him, his posture was upright, the lines of his side face were cold and the bridge of his nose was high, but his temperament was gentle and polite, as if he didn't know that the beads on his wrist had slipped off, and his eyes were a little empty.
She leaned slightly sideways and reached out to pick up the jade-colored Buddha beads that had fallen to the ground.
The beads are slightly cool to the touch, and the texture is delicate and smooth.
Only a trace of warmth could be felt at a few Buddha beads, as if it had been left behind when the man was wearing it on his wrist.
Jiang Rao's movements paused slightly, and then the gaze from the corner of her eyes fell on him.
It didn't take long for the man to seem to be accustomed to it, and when his left hand went to find the Buddha bead on his right wrist, he touched the void, and then took it back naturally, without any intention of looking for it again.
Jiang Rao still doesn't understand anything.
He did it on purpose.
Therefore, Jiang Rao directly put the jade-colored Buddha beads on her hands and covered them with her sleeves.
Rong Tian waited for a long time and didn't see the girl next to him give him the Buddha beads, and he couldn't help but glance sideways.
The girl was eating a pastry and watching the dance.
Rong Tian: "......"
His eyelashes twitched slightly, and his lips straightened.
After a few seconds, his gaze shifted around, and at a glance he knew he was looking for something.
Seeing that the girl still didn't move, his movements stopped in place, and after a while, he asked, "Jiang ...... Did the donor see a string of jade-colored Buddha beads?"
The voice is low and gentle.
Hearing this, Jiang Rao turned her head to look at him, she hooked her crimson lips and shook her head innocently.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but the concubine didn't see it."
Hearing the girl's self-proclaim, Rong Tian's eyes darkened for a moment, but the smile on the corner of her mouth became gentler.
"Excuse me."
There was an epidemic in my school, and the teacher arranged for me to be a volunteer, so I was busy. I've been going to tell you about it before, but I can't notify you if there's no update.
Therefore, the update is not guaranteed, and the normal update can only be maintained after it is stable (_)
