After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 154
Fang turned the corner, but was stopped by an unexpected person.

She raised her eyes to meet the other party's gaze, and thought to herself, this palace banquet is indeed grand, even officials from the previous dynasty were allowed to attend the banquet, no wonder it will be held in Daming Palace.

Cheng Xingqiu pursed his lips and opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say.For some reason, he described it quite a lot.

Ruan Yuyi narrowed her eyes, planning to walk around.Not to mention that private meetings with outside men are not allowed in the palace, she doesn't think she still has any friendship with him, and she doesn't want to cause trouble.

Seeing that she was about to leave, he grabbed her arm and said anxiously, "Aren't you even willing to say hello to me now?"

I still remember Cheng Zhushi's angry words when Shenghe Temple was waiting impatiently, but now, I can really call her a lady.

The little lady in front of her is getting more and more excited, her gestures are full of rain and dew.He regretted it a long time ago, and his jealousy was so red.

She frowned slightly, and the clever maid yelled at her sharply, "What is this lord going to do? Please let go quickly, so as not to cause misunderstandings!"

Cheng Xingqiu also knew that this was the emperor's territory, and the person in front of him was also the emperor's concubine.

It's long since he can't be provoked.

But he was still unwilling, "Does Lingling still keep that square handkerchief?" When she was picked up from Cheng's house by the palace servants, he threw the handkerchief into her sedan chair, she must have seen it.

His fingertips trembled slightly, desperately suppressing the desire to hug her.He stared at her tightly, his eyes almost popping out of his sockets, as if he could engrave her appearance into his eyes.

She certainly does not know.

How he missed her during this time, almost madly missing her.Almost asked Zhao Rong to see the clue.

Ruan Yuyi knew that even now, someone from the new emperor might be watching her secretly, so she cautiously distanced herself from the other party, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what Mr. Cheng is talking about, please respect yourself. "

Mu Xiang took a step forward, half blocked her, and raised her eyebrows to warn, "Young Master Cheng, the little master's small characters are not something you can call."

She lowered her eyes, turned around and left.

Cheng Xingqiu knew that there would be few such opportunities in the future.His eyes were a little bit scarlet, and then he couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed towards her regardless.

But with so many people around her, how could he succeed.

Cheng Xingqiu was held back by several nuns, and the maidservant had gone to call for someone, so he came back to his senses suddenly, knowing that something was wrong.

He watched the figure helplessly, and Ping Pingting walked away slowly.

When Ruan Yuyi arrived at the Daming Palace, there were already bright lights hanging brightly, the Shengxiao was full of ears, and there were low cushions lined up inside.Although the people are not perfect yet, the coming and going of the palace people is enough to show the prosperity in a while.

The eunuch standing by the door sang the newspaper, "Ruan Jieyu to—"

She stepped inside, and after meeting those who should be present, she was led to the table by the maid.Looking sideways again, the topmost place is still empty.

Not long after they were seated, a nun bowed to invite her, "My lord, the queen mother is here to invite you."

She stood up holding the table and went to the Queen Mother with Mu Xiang.

The Empress Dowager still had a straight face, and it seemed that there would never be a smile in that gully. Her hair was already mixed with silver threads, and the gold hairpin on her hair made her look even more haggard.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "The palace banquet has not yet started, you sit on the side first, the Ai family has something to say to you."

Ruan Yuyi obediently agreed.But I didn't wait for a cushion for a long time, so I just knelt down and sat down.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything important to her, she just chatted casually for the sake of irony.

She could persist for a while, but after a long time, she felt as if her kneecap was about to poke out the flesh and touch the ground.It's hard to say whether this is the empress dowager's intentional embarrassment, and she can't mention it, so she just quietly changed her sitting position.

And when Jiang Huaiyang walked into the palace, what he saw was that the little lady's knees had been slightly separated, and she was sitting on the ground, obviously very uncomfortable.

Her complicated skirts were scattered all over the floor, and the dark patterns on the palace satin faintly appeared under the lights.This is an unruly way of sitting, but its twists and turns are hard to describe.

Wen Zhi sang the newspaper loudly as usual.The sheng spring stopped suddenly.

During the banquet, people got up one after another and saluted in the direction of the new emperor, not daring to neglect.

Ruan Yuyi also saluted, and then she was able to relax and enter the original seat.She slightly raised her eyelids, and only saw the hem of his clothes and the long, slender shadow under his feet.

After receiving the new emperor's order, the palace banquet can be regarded as the official start.

Songs and dances are staged round after round in the middle of the open space, the palace is filled with imperial incense, and the lanterns are brightly lit.Talking and laughing gradually started, and then the turmoil continued.

She herself is good at dancing, so she naturally became interested when she saw the dancers performing dances. When she looked up, she neglected to eat a few times, and only occasionally remembered to use some.

Suddenly, her gaze shifted slightly from the dancer girl, and she happened to meet Prince Jing who was opposite.

She was startled, not sure if he had been looking this way.

He frowned, seeing that he was discovered, he did not hide.She nodded slightly, then looked away.

Prince Jing was not the only one who kept looking at Ruan Yuyi, Jiang Huaiyang saw all her little moves.His hand holding the teacup tightened, his fingertips turned white.

He suddenly chuckled, and called to Wen Zhi, "There's no need to send it off, just order Jieyu to come here."

Wen Zhi paused, still holding the cake that the new emperor ordered him to bring to Jieyu in his hand.He lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, and said respectfully, "Yes."

When she was awakened, she was eating the soup in front of her.The soup in the porcelain bowl is crystal clear, decorated with minced meat, tofu, etc., all finely chopped.Just one glance is enough to make the mouth water.

She put down the spoon, and it collided with the edge of the bowl with a crisp sound.

She knew what an important palace banquet this was, but she couldn't figure out if he had any bad intentions again.

Seeing her hesitation, Wen Zhi repeated, "My lord, Your Majesty wants you to come and wait on me, don't delay."

She let out a sigh of relief, if it was just an ordinary time, then it should be fine.

She quietly clenched the hem of her skirt before moving.Along the way, many people looked this way, either jealously or curiously, those gazes almost pierced her, causing blush to stain her ears and cheeks little by little.

Even when I stepped on the ground, I felt that I didn't step on it.

She raised her eyes and saw that the new emperor was wearing a bright yellow robe, sitting upright at the top, his pupils flickered in the candlelight, and his face was gentle, showing the appearance of a Mingjun to outsiders.

It seemed that only in front of her could those eyes be so deep.

Ruan Yuyi stood a few steps away from him, suddenly feeling timid.

"come over."

His voice was deep and melodious.The palace was clearly filled with the sound of silk and bamboo, but his words still fell into her ears word by word.

No one paid attention to them any more, as if deliberately avoiding them.

She pursed her lips, bowed her head and walked up to him.

She took the teapot from the maidservant's hand, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this concubine will bring you some tea."

"No need." He said lightly.

She blinked twice, and tentatively asked, "Then—peel the fruit?"

He was so angry that he laughed, "Sit quietly and stop hooking other people." She thought he lacked a waiter like her?
