Chapter 138: The Palace Banquet Ends
"You appeared so suddenly, anyone would think too much!" Mo Qin rolled her eyes, not feeling that she had done anything wrong at all.
"Okay, it's my fault." Mo Qi coughed lightly, knowing that he was at a loss, and did not defend himself with Mo Qin.
"What's the matter with you dressing up like this and entering the palace?" Cheng Shuiyao interrupted the quarrel between the two and looked at Moqi calmly.
It was evident that he was carefully disguised, and that face looked untraceable at this time, and if they didn't know his true identity, they would have thought of him as a stranger.
"The master doesn't worry about you," Mo Qi scratched his head and said with a serious face.
"If he doesn't worry about me, he'll come by himself," Cheng Shuiyao rolled her eyes and directly pierced him.
"Don't poke me so fast!" Mo Qi smacked his tongue, a little embarrassed, "I just came into the palace to do some things, and occasionally bumped into you here, so I planned to come over to say hello, but I forgot that I was still easy to look at." ”
Do something in the palace?
Cheng Shuiyao squinted, always feeling that this so-called "thing" was not a simple thing.
No wonder the emperor wants to beat them, the co-author should have found something.
Slightly retracted, Cheng Shuiyao restrained his expression and nodded as if nothing had happened, "Since that's the case, then you should go quickly, if you delay here for a long time, it may attract the attention of others." ”
"Hmm." Moqi also knew that he shouldn't stay long, and disappeared in an instant.
"It's strange, there's nothing I need to do in the palace recently," Mo Qin also found this loophole, pinching his chin and opening.
"Xiao Ji should have his own thoughts, let's not stay here for a long time," Cheng Shuiyao glanced around, making sure that there was no one around, before sighing faintly, "It's almost time, I should go back, if I don't go back, I may arouse their suspicion." ”
Mo Qin nodded, stepped forward to help Cheng Shuiyao, and returned to the banquet with her.
Everyone at the banquet was obviously almost finished, and they were gathering together to chat at this time.
Cheng Shuiyao was not very public, and chose a no-man's corner to stand for a while, before returning to the original position unhurriedly.
"Why did you go for so long?" The queen looked at Cheng Shuiyao, and something seemed to flash in her eyes.
"I'm afraid of the queen's jokes when I say it," Cheng Shuiyao smiled a little shyly, "It's really that I'm a little hypocritical, and this medicine is also a little stinging, so ......"
She didn't have a name for the rest of the words, but the queen mother obviously guessed the meaning of her words, and nodded lightly, "It's okay, girl's family, it should be more delicate, but you came here and went back with injuries, Xiao Ji may not know how to complain about the palace." ”
"The queen doesn't have to worry about this," Cheng Shuiyao hurriedly waved her hand, "He won't." ”
When she said this, Cheng Shuiyao had a vague smile on her face, but I am afraid that even she didn't realize this smile.
This kind of smile can only appear on the face of a happy person.
The queen was stunned for a second, looking at such an innocent smile, she felt a little emotional.
As soon as she entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea, not to mention that she was in the position of the lord of the six palaces, and she was vigilant against those intrigues every day, and she had long lost this innocence.
"Oh, by the way," Cheng Shuiyao seemed to think of something inadvertently, and slowly spoke, "There should be a sacrificial ceremony after the year, right?" I've heard that in previous years, families were brought together, but I don't know if this is the case this year. ”
"It should be brought," the queen raised her eyebrows, wondering why she suddenly asked the question, "What's wrong?" ”
"I heard that the altar is on the mountain," Cheng Shuiyao covered her mouth and smiled, "There is also a temple on the mountain that looks at the special spirit of marriage, I want to take that opportunity to go over and have a look." ”
"I see," the queen looked at Cheng Shuiyao with a smile on her face, and her heart was soft for a moment, and she said leisurely, "If you go to see it, you will definitely sign it." ”
"Thank you, Queen!" Cheng Shuiyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a little more indescribable joy between her eyebrows, as if she was yearning for this kind of signed love.
"Okay, it's hard to enter the palace to accompany the palace, so you don't have to hang up with your husband." The queen didn't want to bring up this topic anymore, so she casually found a topic and continued to talk.
The two of them chatted happily with each other, but in the eyes of others, it was not so happy.
The Prime Minister's wife almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, and looked at this scene with a gloomy face.
She didn't expect Cheng Shuiyao to please the queen so quickly.
"Ma'am, there's someone watching here." The maid of the prime minister's wife looked at the people around her carefully, and when she saw that someone's eyes fell here from time to time, she hurriedly reminded her.
This is the Imperial Palace, and the Prime Minister's wife can't make expressions as casually as in the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Got it," the prime minister's wife knew that something was wrong with her approach, and hurriedly restrained her expression.
Cheng Shuiyao has been watching this side from time to time, and naturally saw the change in the face of the prime minister's wife clearly, and felt a little helpless in her heart.
She also knew where the Prime Minister's wife's hostility towards her came from, but she and the Prime Minister's wife were people from two camps, and they were destined not to go together.
Retracting her thoughts, Cheng Shuiyao concentrated on chatting with the queen, and before she knew it, most of the afternoon had passed.
"It's not too early, let's go back separately, and we should have a reunion tonight," the queen was a little tired, and didn't want to keep these people more, so she casually found an excuse to send them away.
"Thank you, Queen Mother," Cheng Shuiyao took the lead in getting up and bowed slightly.
Others followed suit and began to go out one after another.
Cheng Shuiyao was eager to go home, so she walked quickly, and as soon as she went out, she went straight to the carriage of the Xiao Mansion.
As soon as she got into the carriage, before she could feel the temperature in the carriage, she fell into the arms of a person.
"When did you come?" Cheng Shuiyao looked at Xiao Ji with a look of surprise, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a day in her heart were finally relieved.
"After all, it's the first time you've entered the palace alone, and I'm afraid you'll have problems, so I've been here for a day." Xiao Ji rubbed Cheng Shuiyao's face and held Cheng Shuiyao's cold hand, wanting her to warm up.
Cheng Shuiyao half leaned on Xiao Ji's shoulder and lazily talked about various things today.
"Next time, change the way," Xiao Ji looked at the wound on Cheng Shuiyao's hand with some distress, and said softly.
"But it's the most effective!" Cheng Shuiyao said and spoke, suddenly became interested, and sat up directly, "The tea shop of the Prime Minister's family is very profitable, this time I won it, the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife must be angry, think about me and be happy!" ”
This smug little expression was really good-looking, Xiao Ji was a little stunned, and involuntarily leaned over.
