Chapter 222 Becoming a Rebel Secret Guard (22)

When the emperor announced the official start of the palace banquet, the orchestra sounded instantly.

The incense curled into the clouds, and the dancers were graceful and graceful, like orchids and emerald greens, like a dragon swimming.

Rong Qing seemed to glance over Jiang Rao's face inadvertently. She was eating cakes and looking at the dancer girl. Her focused eyes were not even half as good as that of a man.

Rong Qing: "..."

He lowered his eyes in thought, the dense and long eyelashes under the two thick eyebrows slightly drooped to cast a shadow on the lower eyelid, and his emotions were unclear.

But for a moment, when he looked up again, there was still a faint smile on his face, as gentle as jade.

From time to time at the banquet, people toasted each other.

There was a lot of toasting and laughter.

Jiang Rao stuffed the remaining small piece of pastry into her mouth, and looked away from the dancer.

A scorching gaze made her look back. The man had a square face in Chinese characters with a serious face, and the sharp and deep gaze under his sword eyebrows was like a wolf like a tiger, staying on her without any concealment.

The four eyes met, and the man did not look back, maintaining a contemptuous look.

The woman beside him also looked at her from time to time with complicated expressions.

Jiang Rao knew the identities of the two in an instant. If she guessed correctly, they should be Xie Shuning's parents.

For such a formal palace banquet, Xie Shuning, who is a concubine, did not attend. Naturally, they were dissatisfied with Rong Yan who was beside her.

It seems that Xie Shuning told them about himself, otherwise his eyes wouldn't be so contemptuous and filled with hatred.

But they wouldn't embarrass her directly at the banquet without thinking, after all Rong Yan brought her to the banquet.

Just look at it, she won't lose a piece of meat.

So Jiang Rao just took a sip of tea calmly, looked away, and casually looked at the low table in front of him.

"Snapped--"

The movement of the beads falling to the ground was not very loud, let alone the human voices and tunes mixed around.

But Jiang Rao was close, so she followed the sound and saw the jade-colored Buddhist beads not far from the table foot.

The bracelets are round jade beads, crystal clear, and the texture is excellent when you look at it.

Like its owner, it is full of dignity.

Jiang Rao turned to look sideways at the man next to him. He had a good posture, his profile was indifferent and his nose was straight, but his demeanor was gentle and polite. He didn't seem to know that the beads on his wrist had slipped off, and his eyes were a little empty.

She turned sideways slightly, and reached out to pick up the jade-colored Buddhist beads that fell on the ground.

The beads are slightly cool to the touch, and the texture is smooth and smooth.

I can only feel a trace of warm breath from a few Buddhist beads, which seems to be left when the man wears it on his wrist.

Jiang Rao paused for a moment, then his eyes fell on him from the corner of his eyes.

Not long after, the man seemed to be out of habit, when his left hand went to look for the Buddhist beads on his right wrist, he found nothing, and then retracted them naturally, without any intention of looking again.

There was something Jiang Rao didn't understand.

He did it on purpose.

Therefore, Jiang Rao directly put the jade-colored Buddha bead on her hand and covered it with her sleeve.

Rong Qing waited for a long time but did not see the girl next to him giving him the beads, so he involuntarily turned his head to take a look.

The girl is eating a pastry and watching the dance.

Rong Qing: "..."

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and the line of his lips was straightened.

After a few seconds, his eyes moved around, and he knew at a glance that he was looking for something.

Seeing that the girl still didn't move, he froze in place. After a while, he asked, "Jiang... Did the benefactor see a string of jade beads?"

The voice was low and gentle.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Rao turned her head to look at him. She curled her crimson lips and shook her head innocently.

"I'm sorry, Third Highness, I didn't see it."

Hearing the girl's claim, Rong Qing's eyes darkened for a moment, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became softer.

"excuse me."

 There was an epidemic in my school, and the teacher arranged for me to be a volunteer, so I was busy.I was going to tell you before, but I can't notify you without an update.

  Therefore, the update cannot be guaranteed, and the normal update can only be maintained after it is stabilized (í_ì)
