The Abandoned Daughter - Chapter 313
It was in the afternoon, and the weather had a smell of autumn. There was sunlight streaming through the huge poplar leaves in the palace, casting mottled light and shadow.
This imperial city has gone through more than a hundred years of wind and rain, and even a tree on the side of the road knows better than people.
Xie Ruzhuo followed Xiao Xinning to the princess palace for lunch, not knowing that an unexpected meeting was taking place in the palace not far from here.
You Zhi knows the scream unwilling to be lonely, and the scream of “Zhi”, as if to see through the dirty and dirty behind the prosperous palace.
Xiao Junyi went to look for Concubine Jing with a lot of anger, but he waited until he walked to the gate of the palace, but hesitated a little. Will he cause trouble if he goes in like this?
It was this hesitant time that he saw the big palace lady Cuilian coming out. He was surprised at first, and then smiled and said, “Please peace of mind to the princess. I wonder if the princess has anything to do here?”
Xiao Junyi didn’t leave this time, nor did he stay. He had to tell a small lie, “I didn’t intend to walk here. I was a little thirsty. I wonder if I can ask for a glass of water?”
Cuilian smiled and said, “Princess King, please wait a moment.” She said, and invited him in and set it up properly, and then she walked into the inner room.
After a while, I saw Concubine Jing walking out neatly. She was probably a little sleepy, with a little bit of water in her eyes, like a beautiful picture.
Seeing Xiao Junyi, Jing Concubine’s eyes suddenly had some unexplained surprises, and then waved her hand to invite all the ladies in the palace out. Then she sat down on the chaise longue and said with a smile, “Why are you here? But miss me?”
What she said was extremely explicit, Xiao Junyi was originally full of anger, but when she saw the beauty in her arms, she couldn’t vent it again. With his long arms stretched out, he took Concubine Jing in his arms, embroidered the fragrance of her hair greedily, and said, “Didn’t he miss you? My king has been suffocated these days!”
Concubine Jing’s delicate finger touched his forehead and groaned, “Look at how anxious you are. With so many concubines in your house, isn’t it enough for you to vent the fire?”
She didn’t say this. It’s okay. As soon as she said this, Xiao Junyi’s anger surged. Crowds, do not want to make progress! After being scolded by the father, all the concubines in the palace were dismissed!”
He was originally under house arrest, and after his concubine Ji was removed, that day became even more bleak than Baishui.
After hearing this, Jing Fei sneered in her heart, but she said softly on her face, “According to me, this is also a good thing. When they can’t play, it’s time for you to be perfect.”
When Concubine Jing said so, Xiao Junyi turned his anger into joy and said, “You are my caring person, and you speak more comfortably than them.”
Xiao Junyi said, kissing Concubine Jing again on the cheek.
Concubine Jing pushed him away angrily, “You are going crazy, this blue sky and white day.” After speaking, she softened her voice, and said, “What are you doing in a hurry? Tonight, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor will be at Concubine Hui as usual. Niang Niang and Ye Gui concubine choose one of them. Then I will prepare a thin wine, and we will talk in the night.”
This was a clear seduce, Xiao Junyi couldn’t help feeling like her, and said with a smirk, “Okay, I’ll have a good talk with you in the evening.”
Speaking of this, he remembered his situation these days, his eyes became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, “It’s a pity that I was able to come out because of my mother’s illness this time. Even my movements are restricted on weekdays. What a shame! Huh, one day, I will make Xie’s beautiful!”
When he thought of this, his expression changed and began to become savage again. Seeing him like this, Concubine Jing despised him and couldn’t hold her breath, but she comforted him with a pile of voices in her mouth, “You have to be patient now. What is the Xie family? No matter how arrogant it is, it is just a courtier. Wait until you board. What can’t you get in the upper ranks?”
Xiao Junyi’s gloomy gaze gradually lowered, and said, “Great position? That position is farther and farther away from me.” He was actually clear in his heart now that Emperor Jing suppressed him, and there were several older brothers on it. The position is higher than that of him, and this position is horizontal and vertical, and it is not his turn to be on his head.
unless–
Just as soon as this thought came together, Xiao Junyi was so excited that he shook his head and said, “Forget it, do whatever you want.”
Seeing him sinking down for a moment, Jing Fei’s heart was a little anxious for a moment. Fortunately, her character was very good, but she just pretended to be careless, “Speaking of this, I think of someone alone. He might be able to help you. I don’t know.”
“Who?”
When Xiao Junyi asked, Jing Fei smiled mysteriously, and then whispered a few words in his ear.
Xiao Junyi’s eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in confusion, “Why did he come to the capital?”
Concubine Jing had a smile at the corner of her mouth, and said, “If the princess is interested, I can help recommend it.”
Xiao Junyi looked at her suspiciously, but when he remembered the origins of Concubine Jing, he was also a little surprised. No one in this palace is simple. If Concubine Jing is really a gentle woman from the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that she will not survive this time in this cannibal harem.
Is it possible that the background behind Jing Fei is that person?
The colors of the sky gradually sink to the west, and the setting sun burns the entire sky red like a fire.
For the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Emperor Jing made a special case, allowing men and women to sit together and the emperor and concubine on the same seat.
The officials and their family members had been waiting for the seats early, and Xie Ruzhuo didn’t walk in with Xiao Xinning, who had been drowsily until now, when the seats were about to open.
Xiao Junxi was sitting alone, and there was a lot of excitement around him. He was the only one who was cold and lonely, as if he was out of tune with the excitement.
auzw.com However, at the moment when he saw Xie Ruzhuo, Xiao Junxi’s face instantly burst into a smile. In an instant, it seemed as if the winter had faded and the spring blossoms.
When Xie Ruzhuo sat down in front of him, Xiao Junxi pursed her lips and asked, “How come this time?”
Xie Ruzhuo tidyed up her dresses and smiled, “The seventh princess was drowsy and refused to come over. I asked her what’s the matter, but she hesitated and refused to say that it was delayed until now.” He said, and asked, “You When did you come?”
Xiao Junxi poured a cup of hot tea for her, handed it to her, and laughed softly, “I came earlier, I thought you would come earlier.”
Xiao Junxi didn’t say the following words, and Xie Ruzhuo also understood. She was a little embarrassed and said, “Let you wait a long time.”
“It’s okay.”
As soon as Xiao Junxi finished speaking these two words, he heard the voice of the attendant inside and outside the hall, “The emperor is here, and the concubine is here–“
Suddenly, a group of people knelt down in the hall, shouting in unison, “Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, please greet the concubine and the empress, and the empress will be lucky.”
Emperor Jing raised his hand majesticly, and said loudly, “Everyone who loves Qing is flat, today’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, let’s only talk about elders and children, regardless of size, let’s have a drink!”
Although he said that, who in the room really dared to do this? However, the mouth must be reconciled, and the sound echoed right now.
After Emperor Jing sat down, Concubine Ye Gui sat down beside him.
Concubine Hui said that she was ill, so naturally she would not attend this occasion, so Concubine Ye Gui was the only place next to Emperor Jing. The other concubines are sitting at the bottom of their ranks, and those with low ranks don’t even have the qualifications to come to this palace.
The courtesy officer shouted from the side, “Play music–“
Suddenly, singers and music officials filed in, the chimes sounded thickly, and the orchestras pierced into the ears. Although solemn, there was always a little less human touch.
Xie Ruzhuo was sitting next to Xiao Junxi, while the other’s hands were always holding her under the sleeves.
As if feeling Xie Ruzhuo’s distraction, Xiao Junxi looked back and smiled in a petting smile, taking all her emotions into her eyes.
Xie Ruzhuo was not embarrassed to be exposed at all, raised his lips with a smile, and turned his head away.
I don’t want to. At this look, I saw Shen Jing’s resentful expression.
Xie Ruzhuo’s heart was sunk, Shen Jingci’s eyes were really everywhere, paying attention to her at any time, but she was really honored.
After a grand piece of music was played, it was a peaceful scene of graceful singing and dancing with silk and bamboo. Emperor Jing stood up and raised his glass first, and the ministers and family members did not dare to fall. They all respected the emperor and rushed to drink.
After drinking this glass of wine, everyone just started to push the cup and change the cup, and Yan Yan laughed lively.
Only one person, from before the start of the banquet to the present, has a gloomy face and has never smiled.
Xie Ruzhuo hadn’t noticed before, and after hearing a slight commotion on the right side, he followed the voice and looked over.
In that position, the Zhang family was sitting. Different from the past, Zhang Xiuyan seemed to be trying hard to hide herself behind the crowd without being noticed.
It’s just that her idea doesn’t seem to be what she wants. Because of the commotion, she vomited.
It is said that the weather has changed drastically. It is normal for the Jiao Didi ladies to vomit after catching the cold, but Zhang Xiuyan was covering her mouth and retching.
And in front of her, there was also a plate of duck with eight treasures sauce.
Xie Ruzhuo took a casual look before and then withdrew his gaze, but just turned his head, but suddenly remembered something, and suddenly looked at Zhang Xiuyan again.
Sure enough, she was quite disgusted and pushed the Eight Treasure Sauce Duck aside. Although there were tears in her eyes, there was no trace of filth on the corners of her lips.
In other words, she is indeed retching.
The commotion soon subsided. After all, it was not a major event, and with the emperor present, no one wanted to make any unpleasantness. But after a while, the Zhang family’s seat returned to calm.
Xie Ruzhuo looked at Zhang Xiuyan thoughtfully, but there was a faint thought in his heart. I don’t know why, the appearance of Zhang Xiuyan just now reminded her of her pregnancy in her previous life for no reason!
But it shouldn’t be. She remembered that when the imperial physician in the previous life diagnosed her pulse, she clearly said that pregnant women would not have vomiting until they were full-term. Zhang Xiuyan was tarnished by Xiao Junyi, and it didn’t seem to be long—
Xie Ruzhuo thought for a long time, but couldn’t think of a reason, so he pressed the matter to the bottom of his heart. When she came back to her senses, she looked into the bowl in front of her again, and suddenly laughed a little dumbfounded.
After such a moment of daze, Xiao Junxi had already put the peeled shrimps and crabs in the plate in front of him, and filled a small plate full of them.
Seeing that she had recovered, Xiao Junxi smiled at the corners of her lips, “Try it.”
