Chapter 54

I held the stove and hesitated on the spot for a long time, but still didn't wait to return to Bixiu, for fear that she thought I had sent me to the night banquet and rushed over.

After thinking about it, I decided to send it there. At worst, someone could bring it to Yao Yingxue and leave secretly.

I had a certain idea, so I walked towards the garden.

It was only along the way that Yao Yingxue really laid the Shangyang Palace in a delicate and elegant manner, with bright lights everywhere, and various lanterns hanging on the treetops and under the eaves, which were exquisite and transparent and beautiful, reflecting a bright crescent moon in the sky, and Shangyang Palace is more like a brilliant galaxy.

But I don’t know how many undercurrents are hidden under this seemingly peaceful Milky Way.

After passing through the flower path, you will see a prosperous scene ahead.

It was already night, and the garden was still brightly lit. Countless eunuchs and palace maids were walking through the crowd with jade liquid and nectar. At this moment, the atmosphere of the dinner reached a climax. Everyone raised their glasses and drank, laughing and lively.

I stood far away, with guards and palace maids standing around me. The first thing I saw was the emperor on the main throne.

Today, Zi Pei Ji was a thin and pale middle-aged man. His health has always been bad. Since he entered the palace, he often heard that the emperor was ill in his body, but he rarely heard about consultations at the Imperial Hospital. Because he believed in Taoism, he heard that there was a sorcerer who often accompanied the inner palace, meditating and practicing elixirs all day long in order to achieve immortality.

Sitting beside him was Empress Yin.

This queen was not the emperor's original wife, but was only awarded the title of "A Virtue" three years after the queen died of illness. She was also a virtuous concubine at that time. From then on, she was in her 50s. However, her skin was still smooth, her eyes were full of affection, and her eyebrows were full of wind. She was a rare beauty.

Prince Pei Yuanxiu is as handsome as a god and a man, and he is also mostly dependent on this unconventional mother.

At this moment, he was sitting upright under the emperor's left hand, still wearing white clothes like snow, with clear eyebrows and picturesque eyes, but his expression was not like the idleness he used to, and his eyes were always wandering through the crowd, as if he was looking for something.

At this time, a glass of wine flashing with amber luminous light was handed to him. Pei Yuanxiu turned his head and saw that it was the Crown Princess Nangong Lizhu who smiled slightly at him, and his smile was like a flower. In an instant, the whole night banquet lost its color. Pei Yuanxiu took it with a smile and drank it all.

Nangong Lizhu looked at him, his eyes flowing, flowing toward their opposite, but only glanced at him.

Opposite them is the Third Highness Pei Yuanhao.

Since that day, I have never seen him again, and it is still as cold as usual. He looked at the couple opposite him, his face was silent, and he was drinking wine one by one. Yao Yingxue, who was beside him, saw nothing. He only looked at the reactions of the emperor and the queen nervously, as if he was afraid that they would suffer if they were dissatisfied.

Seeing this scene, a hint of panic surged in my heart.

So I stood on tiptoe gently, trying to call a little palace maid to come and bring the stove to Yao Yingxue, and then left by myself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I looked up, Queen Yin raised her head. Her slender phoenix eyes just met my gaze. Her eyes were sharp, as if she had suddenly looked into my heart.

"What are you doing when that palace maid stands there?"
