Chapter 53 Hongwei’s sneer
In the garden not far away, there were a lot of people talking and drinking wine. Even the dark night couldn't block the bright lights and flowers. The music of silk and bamboo drifting faintly in the night wind was pleasant and moving. You could still smell the clear air on the tip of your nose.
The sweet aroma of wine makes people want to get drunk. There is a banquet on a moonlit night.
However, such prosperity is too far away from me.
I stood by the lake, listening to the singing and dancing in the distance, but the surroundings were lonely, with only the reflection on the lake for company, making it look increasingly cold.
I walked slowly along the lake. As soon as I entered a corridor, I heard a rush of footsteps. When I looked back, I saw a little palace maid running over in a hurry from the other side of the flowers, with a look of panic on her face.
, she didn’t see me and ran towards the other end of the corridor.
What happened?
I walked over subconsciously. As soon as I reached the corner of the corridor, I saw her running into the octagonal pavilion by the lake in front. There were still several familiar figures standing in the pavilion. I recognized them at a glance.
The concubines who were punished by Yao Yingxue and were not allowed to attend tonight's banquet.
Hong Wei, Lu He, Siyao... what are they doing here?
I stopped and looked at them through the cover of flowers. I saw the little palace maid running over and blessing them. Hongwei took a step forward and seemed to ask her something. The little palace maid answered respectfully.
, but I stood too far away and couldn’t tell what they were saying.
They looked at each other with a proud expression on their faces. Siyao waved her hand, and the little palace maid retreated.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart and felt that something was wrong, so I simply stood on this side of the corridor. When the little palace maid walked away, I saw Hongwei slowly walking out of the Octagonal Pavilion and looking at the direction of the night banquet from a distance.
Sneered.
In the night wind, I finally heard what she said, with a coldness like ice——
"Yao Yingxue, I will make you arrogant!"
When I heard this, I was suddenly shocked!
Are they going to deal with Yao Yingxue, at tonight's banquet?!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and walked towards the garden, but just after walking a while, I hesitated again——
What should I do now? If something really happens at the banquet tonight, if I am not present, it has nothing to do with me; if I were present, I will definitely be implicated. Besides, both Pei Yuanhao and Yao Yingxue hate me extremely
, go now, I'm afraid they think I'm going to cause trouble again.
I stopped, gritted my teeth, and was about to turn around and go back when I saw Bixiu, the little girl who was attending the dinner with Yao Yingxue today, running over in a hurry. As soon as she saw me, she immediately said happily: "Qingying, are you here?"
Great!"
"What's going on?"
"It's getting cold, and my wife asked me to go back and get her a heater, but now I have a severe stomachache."
"Ah?" I said hurriedly: "What's wrong with you?"
She held her stomach and bent over, and said with a sad expression: "I'm afraid I ate a few pieces of melon at noon and got cold. Qingying, I'm going to the toilet, please help me bring this to Madam.
Go quickly!"
