Chapter 177: Quid pro quo
Maybe she also realized this, and deliberately wore an old-fashioned dress, with a thick curtain in front of her hair, and forced down the brightness, which looked a little more dull.
Shen Xinyue gave her a look, then turned her head and whispered to Lu Chong: "I suddenly feel a little stuffy and want to go out to breathe." ”
Lu Chong was about to get up without saying a word, but was stopped by Shen Xinyue: "Just let Mama accompany me." ”
Knowing that she didn't want to attract too much attention, Lu Chong stopped thinking about accompanying her.
Not long after Shen Xinyue left, Shen Yingyue whispered to Si Qi for leave, and hurriedly chased her figure and went out.
"Big sister!"
Finally seeing her relatives, Shen Yingyue pursed the corners of her lips and her eyes were red.
Shen Xinyue's gaze quickly glanced around, motioned for Mama Qin to help keep an eye on it, and took a step forward to pull the person to the back of the side hall.
"Don't cry." Shen Xinyue took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away her tears, and asked softly, "Tell me about the eldest sister, how are you doing in the palace?" ”
Shen Yingyue stabilized her mood and pulled out a smile: "Eldest sister, I'm very good, I'm very lucky to tell you, as soon as I entered the palace, I was assigned to Concubine De's side, Niangniang is very good, and the palace maid next to her takes special care of me." Eat well, dress warmly, and everything is good. ”
Shen Xinyue endured and did not demolish her.
She only came to the palace once and learned the power of these people in the palace, with many rules and strict hierarchies.
Shen Yingyue, a little palace maid who had just entered the palace and had no foundation, how could she be as good as she said.
I just wanted to reassure her.
"I have some friendship with King Chen, you can stay in the palace for a few more days, wait for me to say hello to him, and ask him to beg Niangniang to take you to your side, so that you can leave the palace."
Shen Xinyue was resolute and didn't give her a chance to refuse at all.
"However, I have only been in the palace for a long time......"
"If you still recognize me as the eldest sister, just listen to me, you are still young, and the eldest sister can't watch you put your whole life into it."
Because there was still a banquet, neither of them could leave for too long, so Shen Xinyue hurriedly said a few more words, and then followed Mama Qin to leave first.
Shen Yingyue paused for a moment and returned to the main hall.
Not long after the two left, a maid walked out of the corner, her eyes flashed slightly, and she quietly entered the main hall.
Inside the palace, King Yu had just picked up the cup, and the pink-clothed maid quietly approached him and whispered a few words.
King Yu's eyes lit up in an instant.
"Are you sure?"
"It's true. Before, you asked the slave maid to pay attention to the movements in the palace, and the palace maid in Dexin Palace must be Miss Shen's sister. ”
King Yu moved his fingers and motioned for her to step back first.
"It's rare that our brothers can get together, Hanshan, come, I'll give you a drink." Li Jingyu, the king of honor, suddenly raised his wine glass.
Li Jingchen looked at the wine glass in front of him, and suddenly thought of what the two maids in the imperial garden had said before, and he didn't hold the wine glass for a long time.
"Fifth brother?" King Ning shouted.
Concubine De saw everything in her eyes, and was about to speak, when she saw Li Jingchen holding up the wine glass.
His gaze swept back and forth over the faces of King Ning and King Yu, and for a moment he couldn't tell which of the two wanted to make him ugly.
King Yu chuckled: "I remember that in the past, the fifth brother was the best drinker among our brothers, but today he is unwell?" ”
Under the gaze of the crowd, he raised his arm and poured the wine into his sleeve by the cover of his sleeve.
King Yu sandwiched a chopstick dish: "This roasted deer tendon tastes good, speaking of this dish, the autumn hunt is about to start." Erchen heard that there is a lot of game in the garden this year, the water and grass are abundant, and the wild animals are very fat. ”
Li Yuansheng was really interested when he heard his words.
"In the past two years, natural disasters have continued in various places, and I should indeed go to the autumn hunt to pray for blessings, and bless my Great Yuan with smooth weather and no more wars in the coming year."
King Ning: "What day does my father think it is more appropriate to set the date?" ”
Li Yuansheng: "In a few days, the envoys of the Red Moon Kingdom will arrive, so it is better to wait for them to come over together, and let them see the heroic appearance of my eldest son." ”
King Ning and King Yu echoed one after another, and there was a scene of harmony and joy at the banquet.
Li Jingchen sat in his place, listening to them, and suddenly felt a hot current in his body rushing straight to his lower abdomen, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, after the heat flowed, his abdomen began to have a sharp pain like a pinprick.
After a while, the sweat on his forehead also flowed.
He chuckled inwardly.
I didn't drink the drink in front of me, why did I still get hit?
What went wrong?
Before he could speak, Lu Chong, who was sitting next to him, was the first to notice the abnormality, turned sideways and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"Fifth brother, what's wrong?" King Ning's concerned inquiry immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Li Yuansheng glanced at him: "But you're not feeling well?" ”
Yaxing, who didn't want to disturb everyone, Li Jingchen barely stood up with his body: "Erchen is indeed a little uncomfortable, and I asked the emperor to allow Erchen to leave first." ”
King Ning: "The fifth brother has only won the battle from the battlefield, and he can't be sloppy if he is unwell, so why don't you call the imperial doctor to come and take a look, so that the father and mother can also rest assured." ”
The sixth princess Li Leyao set her eyes on Shen Xinyue: "Isn't there a person here who has good medical skills, he also administered needles to me in Zixi Palace before, and the heir of the Medicine King Valley has no worse medical skills than the imperial doctor in the palace." ”
King Yu glanced at his sister Li Leyao, and his back molars were almost crushed.
This guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures is simply a good thing for him!
"Shen, quick, check Jingchen, is it ...... "Eat something bad?"
Concubine De was worried that her son would be poisoned, so she hurriedly asked Shen Xinyue to check on Li Jingchen.
Although she was nervous, she hadn't lost her mind yet, but the latter words were stopped by her in time.
"Yes."
Shen Xinyue was worried that she didn't have the opportunity to communicate with Li Jingchen alone, but this was a good opportunity to get close to him.
I saw her get up from her seat and walk quickly to Li Jingchen's side.
At this moment, the pain in Li Jingchen's abdomen had improved, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was his cause that he had eaten his stomach.
Shen Xinyue put her finger on his wrist, and after probing it carefully, surprise flashed in her eyes.
Li Jingchen saw that she was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "But what's the problem?" ”
Shen Xinyue glanced up at him, with a hint of pity in her eyes almost invisibly.
Although her emotions were well hidden, Li Jingchen was still keenly aware of it.
I was about to ask, but I heard Shen Xinyue whisper: "I keep a secret for Your Highness, you do me a favor." There is a palace maid named Xiaoyue by Concubine De's side, she is my sister, you help me negotiate with Niangniang to you, and then let her out of the house, how about it? ”
