234 Sleepless Alone(1/2)
After Huai Mo left, he didn't come back until dark. Shen Zui walked to the door many times and looked out, but there was no one there.
The wind and snow outside were getting bigger and bigger, and the snow on the ground was getting deeper. After it was dark, she tried to step on it, but it was already up to her ankles. She didn't know what means Huaimo used to call the maid over every time, but it was too She is really smart and caring. She will appear whenever she needs her. But now, Tai Congming has left, the other maids are nowhere to be seen, and she can't even ask someone to find Huaimo.
When she thought about it carefully, she realized that she could not blame him entirely for being unreasonable. She really shouldn't have brought up the relationship between Xiao Yao and him.
Huaimo is Huaimo, and he has always gone his own way. Maybe today, even if it were not Xiao Yao, if it had been any other man, Huaimo would have been merciless, smashing the treasure in front of that man, and trampling on that man at all costs. Get down with your feet. This...has been related to whether they are brothers from the beginning, but she was stupid enough to bring it up herself.
Xiao Yao should be the thorn in Huai Mo's heart that cannot be removed. He was originally a biological brother, but his situation was so different.[
She was tortured as a stranger, tortured by her biological father, and saw her biological father kill her own mother. And Xiao Yao, his biological brother from the same father and mother, was born to be loved by thousands of people. Su Su was about to die. He always asked him to take care of and protect his younger brother, and he always did a good job. Although he hated the palace so much that he finally escaped from the palace, he still secretly went back to play with him because there was a younger brother there. At that time , he saw his biological father who wanted him dead doting on his younger brother in every possible way, and at the same time ordered people from all over the country to capture him and torture him. It was not easy for him to ignore these things and still be good to Xiao Yao.
However, this younger brother still refused to acknowledge him. Not only did he not acknowledge him, he even sent troops to surround and kill him. At that time, how unbearable was the feeling of being a stranger, how heartbreaking it must have been?
His father wanted to kill him, and his brother also wanted to kill him. His only two relatives were so cruel to him, how could he think so?
Thinking of this, Shen Zui's eyes were sore and hot, and his heart was tearing and aching. If he were in a different place, if it were her, she would probably be even more ruthless. Maybe Xiao Yao was poisoned when he was young, so she would never care about him again.
She couldn't imagine what was going on in Huai Moqiu's mind when he rescued Xiao Yao? Was he thinking about Su Su's instructions to him before his death? Or was he thinking about the good life Xiao Yao was born with? Or was he thinking about all the ups and downs he had experienced since birth? Torture?
Shen Zui walked forward, and the wind and snow drifted in immediately. She endured the biting cold and looked outside. It was pitch black outside, and Huai Mo still hadn't come back. She had been blown cold, and she quickly closed the door, but she still felt cold.
She walked to the stove, only to see that the stove had been extinguished and the charcoal fire had burned out. No wonder...
She was so lost in thought just now that she didn't even notice. The wind and snow had just come in, and now she was paying attention to the stove. Shen Zui only felt colder. After thinking about it, without waiting for Huai Mo, she quickly took off her coat and went to bed, wrapping herself in the quilt. go.
The quilt cannot bear the wind, snow and cold, and it is difficult to sleep alone.
In the past, Huaimo had always held her to sleep, but she still didn't feel the cold of winter. She wondered many times why this winter was not as cold as in previous years. In previous years, she needed at least two beds for bedding, but this year she only had one bed. It turned out that it wasn't not cold this year. ...The two of them were in bed. He didn't wear any clothes, and he didn't allow her to wear them. They hugged each other and fell asleep. It was already good that they were not heated up by his teasing. How could they get cold? As soon as he left, she I was shivering from the cold.
Shen Zui was tightly wrapped in the quilt, tossing and turning so cold that she couldn't sleep. Finally, she was really tired. Just when she closed her eyes, she heard the rooster crow. She managed to sleep for a while, and then she heard knocking outside.
The sound of the door.
"Miss, it's time to get up and prepare for the ceremony."
Shen Zui woke up in a daze and replied in a hoarse voice, "Come in."
Several maids entered the door, and the leader was none other than Tai Chongming, who had been missing for many days. As soon as Tai Chongming entered, he was so cold by the cold air in the room that he frowned and knelt down in shock, "Miss, forgive me! I have neglected my duty!"
Shen Zui slowly sat up, surprised to see that he was too smart, but still had some strength, "Get up, it has nothing to do with you."
Too Smart immediately turned back to the other maid and said, "Why don't you go get charcoal to make a fire?"
"Yes." The other maid nodded and left quickly.
Shen Zui was served by several maids and quickly dressed and changed clothes. Shen Zui felt a little dizzy. After thinking about it, he almost didn't sleep all night. It was time for him to be dizzy, so he just sat there blankly and looked at himself in the mirror. He didn't look good. He was too smart.
He was considerate, and when he saw the look in her eyes, he quickly applied more powder and rouge on her.
Shenzui really couldn't laugh or cry at such "consideration".[
Sure enough, she was the one she met, and all of her hands seemed to be dyed with magic power, and they made her pale and pale face look bright and charming after not sleeping all night. Shen Zui looked at her own appearance in the mirror,
Even I was stunned. Before I could indulge myself, I was reminded by Too Smart, "Miss, the time has come, it's time to set off."
Only when I was drunk and went out did I understand what Tai Chongming meant by "departure".
Shen Zui walked slowly on the road. The snow on the road had been swept away at some point. She was closely followed by Tai Smart. In front of her, sixteen maids opened the way, scattering flower petals along the way. She carefully recognized them.
Peonies, roses and peach blossoms are all grown here and survive the winter.
Not bad, some petals were blown by the wind to her face and lips, soft and fragrant, and she walked with the fragrance of the petals, and she felt really happy.
Behind her were two long lines of maids, seventy-six in total.
When she reached the master's courtyard intoxicated, a high platform had already been built on the open field, and a red carpet was spread all the way to her feet. She walked up slowly.
By this time, the wind and snow had stopped, and the weather was surprisingly good. The sky was blue and clear, and there was sunshine. Countless people had gathered in the venue. At first glance, it was so densely packed that it was difficult to see who was who. On the high platform, Yu was already sitting.
Here you are.
Below the seat where I met, there were about a dozen people sitting on both sides. They all had an extraordinary air, and they were probably people with different statuses.
Under such momentum, Shen Zui's heart couldn't help but beat fast. She wanted to recognize Yu as her adopted daughter, but Yu only mentioned it to her casually, and never even mentioned it after that. Of course, he did mention it to ridicule her "
"Idiot dad" doesn't count.
Although she knew that if someone respected her status and he accepted his adopted daughter, the scene would be decent, but she didn't expect that it would be so huge. And with such a huge momentum, no one even informed her in advance so that she could be mentally prepared.
Suddenly the wind picked up and blew on her body. She felt very cold, and the cold seemed to come from within her body. She couldn't help but chatted her teeth, and hurriedly gathered her mind. Under the too clever prompt behind her, she slowly
Slowly walk towards the encounter.
There was a confident smile on Yu's face, and he looked a bit proud of being a father at this time. Shen Zui used his peripheral vision to search among the people around him, but couldn't find Huai Mo. Suddenly, at this time, Huai Mo
It is true that he cannot show up. There are many people talking at this time. If it is spread that Huai Mo appears here, Emperor Wen can easily guess that everything is done by Huai Mo and Yu Lianhe. Then all the efforts will be ruined, and the consequences will be even worse.
Unimaginable.
Shen Zui figured it out and was about to look away. At this moment, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a familiar man sitting on the right side. She walked forward slowly and calmly, and then she saw the man clearly.
It turned out to be... Xiao Li.
Xiao Liqi looked majestic, his hair tied with a gold hairpin, and his eyes fell on her, and he was completely surprised.
Compared with Xiao Li's surprise when he saw her, Shen Zui was only confused. Xiao Li must have represented the royal family when he came here, but she didn't know what the purpose of Emperor Wen's arrangement was. Originally, she thought that the person sent by Emperor Wen was just Xiao Yao.
, and in fact, given the relationship between Jiuqing Palace and the royal family, it is indeed enough to send a prince here.
I was too intoxicated to think deeply, and I had already reached the meeting point.
The two maids next to her came out, one brought a futon and placed it at her feet, while the other brought tea and waited beside her.
Shen Zui knelt down on the futon and bowed to Yu three times. Then, he took the tea cup prepared by the maid and offered tea to Yu, "My daughter pays homage to her adoptive father. I wish my adoptive father a long life as long as Nanshan and happiness in heaven."
Nian. My adoptive father invites you to have tea."
"Okay, okay!" Yuzhi said proudly, smiling and saying, "Good daughter!"
As Yu said this, he personally took the tea offered by Shen Zui and drank it all.
The people who can sit on this high platform, except for those with rich backgrounds like Xiao Li, are also very famous in the world. These people have been well versed in observing words and emotions all the way to their current position. The reaction of meeting him at this moment shows that he is overjoyed.
They all applauded vigorously in unison and laughed loudly, "Congratulations, Palace Master, Congratulations, Young Palace Master!"
Yu smiled and said hello repeatedly, "Same joy, same joy!"
Yu said, stood up from his seat, walked to Shenzui himself, helped her up, grabbed her hand, led her forward, and loudly announced to the tens of thousands of people in the square, "From now on,
Later, Shenzui is my Liyuan's daughter. Seeing her in the Jianghu is like seeing me, Liyuan."
Immediately, a rich voice resounded in the square, uniformly, "Only the orders of the Palace Master and the Young Palace Master are obeyed! Only the orders of the Palace Master and the Young Palace Master are obeyed..."
The rich voice reaches into the sky.[
Shen Zui looked at this scene, with only one thought in her mind. If she were Emperor Wen, she would also be unable to sleep at night and have trouble sleeping because of Yu's existence. How could a Jianghu organization be so strong and completely out of control. Such Yu, such
The Jiuqing Palace will probably not be eradicated for thousands of years; nor can it be reconciled. Such a group of capable people with unique skills cannot be controlled by the court; the only way is to let him develop like this, and then pray that he will not invade.
.
"I sincerely wish the palace lord a long life and may the young palace lord enjoy immortal blessings forever."
"I sincerely wish the palace lord a long life and may the young palace lord enjoy immortal blessings forever."
"..."
Surrounded by strong and powerful voices, the scene was grand, intoxicating and shocking. Yu slowly looked at her and asked with a smile, "Daughter, from now on, these people will respect you as their father. Are you satisfied?"
?”
Shen Zui was already so shocked by this scene that he could only nod lightly when facing the cheerful smile on Yu's face.
Yu patted her hand and called Tai Smart, "Take the lady down."
Taismart took the order, handed Shenzui over to her, and then said to everyone, "Now everyone, please come to the banquet."
"Thank you, Palace Master, thank you, Young Palace Master."
There were thunderous shouts of respect, and people from Jiuqing Palace appeared at the same time to guide everyone to their seats.
Shen Zui followed the maid away, but she felt a compelling gaze falling on her. She felt uncomfortable. Following the feeling, she looked into the crowd and saw a woman covered in white gauze at a glance.
She lowered her head slightly, and now she had turned sideways, and was about to leave with everyone. From Shenzui's sight, only her profile could be seen, but she could already glimpse her stunning figure, her sinking fish and her geese.
.
Shenzui immediately trembled, the man looked like... Chen Yu.
She was startled and turned around to look for Yu, wanting to ask if Chen Yu was here, but Yu had already walked away surrounded by the crowd. Seeing that she couldn't help it, Shen Zui immediately looked into the crowd again, but the woman was no longer there.
She was gone. Shenzui's eyes quickly searched around, but the woman was still missing, as if the glimpse she just had was just a dazzle for her.
"Miss, let's go."
Too Smart saw her frozen in place and whispered a reminder.
Shen Zui came back to his senses and nodded quietly.
On the way back, another outsider, Shen Zui, asked softly, "Where are all the guests arranged?"
Tai Chongming said lowly, "Go back to Miss, all the guests will be arranged in the west courtyard."
"Is everyone in the west courtyard?"
To be continued...
