142 The Lady's Misfortune
I don’t know when the song and dance started. It was slow singing and dancing. The dancers were all graceful and graceful. They were so intoxicated that they no longer had the intention to watch. They lowered their heads silently and ate mooncakes. The craftsmanship of the royal chef of the Imperial Palace was indeed different. She went from time-travel to
For so many years here, every Mid-Autumn Festival has been spent missing the mooncakes with flowers and cloud legs that I had when I was a child. Unfortunately, I am disappointed every year. The mooncakes from the Shen family are not delicious. The ones she bought outside are slightly better, but only slightly.
.
I finally tasted the flower-flavored cloud legs that I had been thinking about for so many years, and the taste was no less than what I remembered when I was young.
If she wasn't in a bad mood, she would definitely cry with joy.
Taking bites one by one, she felt delicious but still in a bad mood. Each person only had two cakes, a flower cloud leg, and a white lotus egg yolk. She finished them quickly, and she looked down at her empty plate in confusion.
"Madam Prime Minister." Suddenly a voice came from beside her.
Shen Zui was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a palace maid standing next to her holding a plate, bowing slightly to her, "Madam Prime Minister, this is what Prince Yu wanted. The prince said that Madam likes to eat, so he gave her as a gift
Madam, and asked the slave to pass on the message, if he can come back alive, he will treat Madam to eat more."
Shen Zui saw two moon cakes on the plate, and suddenly her eyes felt sore and hot. She turned around and saw Xiao Yao looking at her with a slight smile. If he could come back alive... Shen Zui almost cried when he heard this.
come out.
"Send it back!"
With a deep voice in his ear, Huai Mo said, pushing the moon cake in front of him to Shen Zui's eyes, and said coldly, "If you want to eat, I have it here."
"This..." The palace maid hesitated, "My lord, madam, I forgive you. It's just that His Highness King Yu said that his life or death is uncertain before he leaves. He may not have a chance to see him again in this life. He has nothing to give me before parting, just two cakes."
"You go back and tell King Yu that he will be auspicious and he will be able to triumph. There will be plenty of opportunities to eat moon cakes in the future." Huai Mo's voice was cold, and his displeasure was obvious.
"Let it go." Shen Zui suddenly said softly.
As if she had been granted amnesty, the palace maid hurriedly placed the moon cake in front of Shen Zui and ran away in a hurry.
On the other side, Xiao Yao's face suddenly relaxed when he saw her accepting it.
Huai Mo had a sullen face and stared at Shen Zui fiercely.
Shen Zui seemed not to feel it, he just lowered his head and said softly, "The mooncakes are delicious. I have thought about it for many years, and this is the first time I taste it."
"Okay! I'll order someone to cook it for you when you get home, and you can eat it all for me!"
Shen Zui seemed not to hear and continued, "It's just that I will never eat mooncakes again."
Huai Mo was stunned.
Shen Zui slowly looked at him, her eyes slightly red, "You are right, I provoked Xiao Yao and was cruel to him. It was I who forced him to go to the battlefield. If he really died, I was the one who killed him.
, I am the murderer."
Huai Mo shuddered, and his expression suddenly changed. He was busy hating her for caring about Xiao Yao, and wanted to torture her because of this jealousy, but when she really blamed herself and took all the blame on herself, he...
Feeling distressed.
Shen Zui suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, I know my identity and I won't embarrass you."
Shen Zui said, pushing the moon cakes sent by the palace maid in front of Huai Mo, "It's enough for me to eat yours. You can help me eat these two."
After Shen Zui finished speaking, he picked up Huaimo's mooncake and took a bite.
Huai Mo was slightly startled, and then called Xiao Hei, "I will give this jug of wine back to King Yu. I have nothing to give to you before we leave. Huai Mo wishes him a speedy victory."
"Yes, sir."
Shen Zui gave Huai Mo a mocking look and said nothing. Huai Mo tasted the mooncakes in front of Xiao Yao, who looked ugly.
The Prime Minister's seat was quite far away from the other officials. In addition, everyone was busy admiring the dancers at this time, and they all deliberately lowered their voices, so almost no one noticed the movement here. But it was by no means nothing.
Concubine Jin looked at Xiao Yao and Shen Zui with a cold face, her fists clenched tightly.
"Sister, what's wrong? Don't you like singing and dancing?" the queen suddenly asked Concubine Jin with a smile.
Concubine Jin was startled and came back to her senses. She quickly glanced at the dancers in the field, then looked at the queen with an apologetic smile, "Sister, what are you talking about? This dancer has an outstanding figure and a light body. I think she will definitely surprise us later."
, Su Jin is looking forward to it."
Emperor Wen glanced at Concubine Jin with a half-smile.
Concubine Jin has been in the palace all year round and has been favored by the Holy Spirit. Such a woman has long been trained to be smooth. She did not watch any singing and dancing at first, but a glance was enough for her to judge.
Not long after she finished her words, the whole audience was suddenly stunned and fell into silence. Then, the applause was like thunder, and it rolled past like a stormy sea.
But the lead dancer suddenly jumped onto the palm of a man who was accompanying the dancer, tapped the man's palm with her toes, and began to spin and dance. The man was not very strong, but the woman was completely light.
.Especially because she is dressed in white with a veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of clear big eyes. She looks like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
There was thunderous applause, and even the emperor in the seat was delighted and high-fived.
Concubine Jin covered her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, sister, are you right about this surprise?"
"Well said!" Emperor Wen praised, and took Concubine Jin into his arms.
The queen chuckled lightly, "What a dance in the palm of your hand. It was also my sister's specialty back then. Could it be that this dancer is my sister?"
"This is absolutely impossible." Concubine Jin smiled and shook her head in Emperor Wen's arms, "If I had known this dancer earlier, I would have hidden her and not allowed her to perform. In this way, the emperor still thinks that the world
I am the only one who can dance in the palm of my hand."
Concubine Jin's joking words made Emperor Wen laugh heartily, and whispered in Concubine Jin's ear, "It is true that you are the only one, and you are the only one who can dance in my palms!"
Concubine Jin covered her lips and smiled, shyly and brightly. Her posture seemed to outshine the dancer in the field who was attracting everyone's attention.
Shenzui also looked at the dancer in the middle. She had now come off the palm of her hand, and her dance returned to normal. But her posture, posture, and steps were all very good, making ordinary dance steps look alluring even if she did them.
Photography. Soul.
Shen Zui frowned slightly, wondering where she had seen this person before. She thought about it carefully, but she couldn't think of it for a while.
Shen Zui was so busy racking his brains that he didn't notice Huai Mo beside him. At this moment, a pair of eyes were staring at the dancing girl with unfathomable eyes. His hands were clenched, and veins were popping out of them.
At the end of the dance, everyone was still unsatisfied, which made the following acrobatic obviously unpopular. The intoxication also seemed to be lost, but her feeling seemed to be different from others. When she came back to her senses, she realized that Huai Mo was no longer in her seat.
superior.
After the dancer retreated, she was led down by the imperial guard. There were about twenty people in a dance, but the lead dancer who was originally like a star holding the moon now only led one person to the end. The dancer in front
She was still talking lively about what had just happened. She was the only one with her face covered in veils, her head slightly lowered, and she slowly walked at the end with the other person, as if she was not afraid of getting lost.
Walking into the light and darkness, a figure suddenly flashed behind her, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared as well.
The person who was originally following her didn't seem to feel it at all and didn't react at all. Instead, he strode to follow the person in front of her.
Huai Mo had been away for a long time, and Emperor Wen had looked over here many times. Shen Zui frowned slightly. She always felt that Emperor Wen's eyes were unkind, which made her scalp numb and made her restless. Then she suddenly thought of her big brother.
The incident with Xiao Yao during their marriage... the emperor really should have a reason to be unkind to her.
Seeing this, Rong Rong leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Madam, why don't you go find the master and come back."
Intoxicated by surprise, like being granted amnesty, "Is that okay?"
Rong Rong nodded slightly and gestured to other empty seats in the venue, "The banquet is long, so it's okay to leave for a while."
Shen Zui looked up and saw the emperor, queen, and concubine Jin watching the performance. No one paid attention to her, so she stood up slowly and left quietly.
The palace is so big, it is certainly not easy to find Huai Mo. Shen Zui is not looking for him. It's just that the atmosphere of the banquet is depressing. It was depressing when Huai Mo was there and even more depressing when Huai Mo was not around. She stepped out to get some air.
The night was a bit dark, and Shen Zui walked to the lake unknowingly. Here, she could still vaguely hear the music of the imperial garden, Shen Zui stopped and said in a low voice, "Let's wait here."
There was no sound behind me.
Shen Zui was slightly surprised and turned around, but when she saw the man staring at her under the moonlight, she let out a low breath.
"Don't scream! My father has murderous intentions for you. If he knows that you and I are meeting here, he will not let you go."
The person who came was none other than Xiao Yao.
Shen Zui frowned. She really only thought that Emperor Wen was just unkind to her. She didn't expect that he also had murderous intentions...
