His elegant and romantic gesture greatly satisfied Wu Sheyue's eyes. However, Wu Sheyue immediately looked away and quickly took a step aside: "Why does the young prince need an affair? He wants multiple women to serve one husband. There are so many. Please, young prince, please stay away from me~ I don’t want to die yet.”
"Are you still afraid of them?" Yu Jing raised an eyebrow.
"I just don't want to get into trouble."
Yu Jing didn't say anything more, he held his hands behind his back and left alone with a fan. Ah Li didn't know where he hid, and Wu Sheyue never saw him again.
Yu Jing left, and Shen Yanhuan suddenly walked to her side. She gently patted Wu Sheyue's shoulder and said, "Yue'er."
"Huan'er?" Wu Sheyue turned around, feeling a little sorry, so she explained: "Well... he came to me..."
Shen Yanhuan sighed and shook her head, "You don't have to say it if you don't want to." Although she felt that Wu Sheyue hadn't figured it out yet, but with her critical eye, she must have seen the right person.
But Wu Sheyue was a little anxious. She took Shen Yanhuan's hand and said eagerly: "Hey, no... We are not in a relationship, and we have no emotional relationship! He wants my craftsmanship to be made for him. Order something special.”
Shen Yanhuan looked at Wu Sheyue dumbfounded, "So you explained to me because you were afraid that I would think you two were interested in each other?"
"No, what else?" Wu Sheyue was also a little confused.
"...It's okay." You win.
Wu Sheyue and Shen Yanhuan walked out of the path while laughing.
As soon as she left the shade and came into the sunshine, Wu Sheyue felt as if she had come out of an air-conditioned room, and the air around her became boilingly hot.
Shen Yanhuan looked up at Tian'er and said, "At this time, the competition should be starting in the Imperial Garden. Are we still going to watch?"
"I'm not going." Wu Sheyue still wanted to be quiet for a while. Where there are a lot of people, there is a lot of right and wrong. She came to the banquet twice in total, which can be considered as verifying this truth twice.
Shen Yanhuan nodded in agreement, "Well~ I'm too lazy to compete with a group of carefree people. Anyway, your name was already revealed at your family's birthday party last time. My father didn't even go there and I didn't even hear about it. is you."
"Tsk~ Didn't you say that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong? I even want to hide, haha."
Shen Yanhuan laughed at her: "What kind of metaphor are you talking about, and you are boasting about it? You are really not ashamed!"
The two walked away talking and laughing, but on the green path they had walked before, another petite and thin figure walked out.
—
Wu Yin'er stood at the intersection, pursed her lips and looked at Wu Sheyue's back, with a pair of clear and simple eyes filled with complexity. She did not continue to follow, nor did she take a step forward into the sunshine, but she was still in the cold darkness.
Everyone had left for a long time, but she still stood still, seeming to be thinking about something important.
"Miss..." Bilan came over and called her worriedly.
The Fifth Miss had followed the Third Miss and the others from the Royal Garden, but she had only followed them from a very distance and refused to come forward to speak at all.
That's right. The third lady went too far before and repeatedly rejected the fifth lady's kindness.
Wu Yin'er shook her head, turned around and said, "I'm fine, let's go." She said and walked back into the green path.
Yu Jing walked alone under the eaves of the red wall and blue tiles. The willow branches hanging from the eaves swayed lightly, making him look like a beautiful picture.
"Master." There was no one around, and A Li quietly appeared behind him.
"Say." Yu Jing stopped.
"Someone was following you just now, but they have left now." A Li lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "It is the fifth lady of the Xiangfu who was by Yuexian Lake before. Starting from the Imperial Garden until you enter the Yunguang Palace , you and Miss Wu San just separated, so she didn’t continue to follow you.”
Yu Jing thought for a while and remembered the appearance of the skinny little girl he saved from the prince.
There were many people and noisy people before, and there were many footsteps behind them, but he didn't pay much attention to the appearance of such a little girl later. Anyway, the distance is very far, no matter how good the ears are, martial arts practitioners can't hear anything.
But...she followed so far
Yu Jing said: "Tell people to pay more attention to her and keep a close eye on her at the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
"yes."
As soon as A Li finished speaking, he heard a tut, "Oh~ isn't this the young prince Yu Jing? He is actually hiding here, making it easy for my brother to find him."
Then a small stone hit A Li hard on the head, and the sound when it hit his head was extremely loud.
Yu Jing turned back with a cold face and said, "Who are you calling?" Looking at his undisguised look of disgust, it was as if he knew he was coming.
Han Yi walked out from the corner in front, smiling like a fox: "I called you... I didn't even find you just now, you ran fast enough."
A Li felt depressed. At first, his master kept the secret from Prince Han, not wanting anyone to know about the existence of their secret guards. What's annoying is that every time he can't avoid Prince Han's surprise attack! The master later got angry and didn't bother to hide anymore.
A Li always felt that he had his own scapegoat for exposing the target...
Yu Jing waved his hand, and A Li quickly lowered his head and left. Yu Jing threw off the folding fan and stood on the edge of the corridor looking at the rippling flowers in front of him, "Aren't you hanging out with other ladies? What do you want from me?"
"Tsk~ What do you mean?" Han Yi walked up to him and waved his folding fan and said, "Isn't this a waste of all my love for you?"
"Speak well if you have something to say."
"Oh." Han Yi said seriously, "Duanmu is here."
"He doesn't come here often." Yu Jing said without changing his expression.
Han Yi laughed, "He was busy before... but he hasn't set foot in Longfu for two years. You just came back from the cold land, and he came all the way. I'm afraid it's unusual."
"We can't kick him out. Will he come to the Hundred Flowers Banquet tonight?"
"No, because Mingqi's envoy has already arrived." Yu Jing looked at Han Yi, who smiled and said, "I just came from the emperor and didn't see Duanmu."
"Maybe he will come to me himself." Yu Jing retracted his gaze.
Han Yi leaned over and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, can the cold messenger still come this year?"
"have no idea."
Seeing that Yu Jing was perfunctory with him without even thinking, Han Yi rolled her eyes coquettishly, turned around and left, waving her fan. "Tsk... Just say it if you don't want to. What do you mean you don't know? Who will believe you if you say you don't know?"
Yu Jing stood here alone, not moving for a long time. Under the beautiful scenery of the peaceful and prosperous times when the three countries had good relations, who can know how many turbulent undercurrents there are.
—
It was just getting late, and the palace was already lit with lights. The orange-red light shines brighter than the evening sky, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as a film.
It was almost time for the Hundred Flowers Banquet to begin. Wu Sheyue and Shen Yanhuan were tired of walking, so they hurried over to the Palace of Eternal Life.
Wu Sheyue was far away when she saw the golden hall, the dazzling array of flowers on both sides, and the beautiful palace ladies walking in the hall... and couldn't help but sigh.
What a luxury~
Shen Yan said with a smile: "How about it, it's pretty."
Wu Sheyue's eyes shone and she nodded in agreement, "It's beautiful, but it's a pity that it cannibalize people."
"..." Shen Yanhuan was stunned. This description is really...appropriate
The two people walked into the hall from the side door and saw that the fragrance of flowers was overflowing in the Hall of Eternal Life. Countless rare flowers were placed around the hall, and it was indeed like the word "hundred flowers".
Everyone here has already arrived, and despite the bustle of people, Wu Sheyue's sharp eyes saw the cheap dad Wu Hantian in just one glance. She said to Shen Yanhuan, "Then I'll go there first."
Shen Yanhuan pulled her worriedly and warned her, "I'm the only one in my family, but you have to be careful."
Wu Sheyue patted her comfortingly and said, "I know, when have I ever suffered a loss~"
Tsk, she got this life for nothing. She probably won’t even be willing to accept it before she dies.
Wu Sheyue led Ning'er over and saw Wu Hantian sitting in the middle of the banquet. On his left was Jiang Qingxue, the principal, and on his right was Ning Shuang.
Jiang Qingxue was dressed in rich brocade clothes, with a noble and gorgeous head and face, and she was sitting upright and politely. Ning Shuang's posture was much more delicate. Although Wu Hantian didn't touch her, he turned his head and asked her a few questions from time to time. Although Ning Shuang is dressed more plainly in comparison, her treatment is obviously much better than that of the main wife.
Wu Sheyue was a little curious. After all, Jiang Qingxue's natal family was the Duke of Taiguo. Wu Hantian dared to bring a concubine to such a big occasion, and was he not afraid of making his father-in-law angry
She thought about it, walked forward and said, "Father, mother."
When Wu Hantian raised his eyes and saw her, he silently said "grace". Jiang Qingxue was so angry today that she didn't even look at her.
Only Ning Shuang was really sensible. When she saw Wu Sheyue coming, she straightened up and said softly: "Third Miss." She even got a sideways look from Wu Hantian.
Anyway, Wu Sheyue didn't care whether these people kissed or not, it was just a formality. She nodded to Ning Shuang, and then took Ning'er over to sit down.
Wu Sheyue sat in the back for a while, feeling quite happy watching the cheap dad and his concubine showing off their affection in front of them, with the wife acting as a light bulb beside them.
After a while, the two sides of the hall were filled with people one after another. The officials were seated according to their rank. Behind the officials and their wives were the young ladies. The arrangement is still the same after the concubine comes out.
Wu Sheyue later discovered that more and more people were sitting on her lower hand side, but no one was sitting on her upper hand side. As a result, her position was very close to the dragon throne! She couldn't help but glance at the shape of the dragon chair, and a thought flashed through her mind: How about making one for fun
"Stop dreaming for a hundred days." Suddenly a low cold snort passed through the noise and reached Wu Sheyue's ears clearly.
It was Wu Liuyun. She was holding up her skirt and being carefully supported by Yingtao. She sat down a little in front of Wu Sheyue, blocking the dragon chair.
After Wu Liuyun sat down, he turned around and chuckled: "There are some things you shouldn't think about!" (To be continued)
