Chapter 63 Emperor's Birthday Banquet
Su Siman waited and waited. Liang Shaojun didn't wait to pick her up. Seeing that the sun had begun to set, it was time to go to the banquet, but Liang Shaojun was late for the future.
"What are you doing?!"
Just as Su Siman leaned against the window and looked forward to it, he faintly heard the voice of Bixi with surprise and scolding. It was a little noisy outside. Su Siman also went out of the bedroom to see what had happened.
As soon as I got to the door of the bedroom, I saw a large group of armed guards with knives and guns pouring into the courtyard with great momentum. The leader was General Li Yuan. Su Siman was shocked and his face changed slightly. Seeing that this situation was not small, he was very confused, but his intuition must have been something.
"See the crown princess at the end of Li Yuan." Li Yuan saluted with his fist.
Su Siman settled down and said in a relaxed tone, "It turned out to be General Liyuan. Did His Royal Highness ask you to pick me up? Why did you bring so many bodyguards to open the way? I'm afraid I can't afford it. Today is the emperor's birthday. I'm afraid it's not good for these sticks, knives and guns to appear in the palace. Tell them to retreat quickly.
"The last general is difficult to obey. These guards were personally selected by His Royal Highness, specially designed to protect the safety of the princess. In the future, they will guard the princess's bedroom step by step. If the traitor wants to harm the princess, they will not easily do it.
"What? Keep me safe? I think there have been enough of those bodyguards before. Isn't it too much of a fuss to send so many people? Besides, I'm not a three-year-old child. How can I need so many people around me? Su Siman can't control his emotions. What on earth does Liang Shaojun want to do? After picking so many Yu Linwei elites to guard her Chuxiang Pavilion, I'm afraid there are other intentions.
"The last general doesn't know that His Royal Highness's order that the last general just did it. Recently, the palace is not very peaceful at night. Sometimes there are thieves crossing the wall and entering. I don't know what they want to do. His Royal Highness is also worried about the safety of the crown princess and has good intentions. In addition, today is the birthday of the emperor, and the palace has been on guard everywhere, so don't panic.
Hearing Li Yuan's words, Su Siman's doubts dispelled a lot.
Somehow, when he heard the word "thief", Su Siman thought of Zhong Yeli and couldn't help but feel empty. Admittedly, if Zhong Yeli really wants to be unfavorable to himself, he may not be able to escape, and no matter how many bodyguards he sends, it may not be useful. He only met him a few times. Although he didn't have any good intentions, he didn't hurt himself at all. It really made people wonder what his purpose was.
Su Siman was thinking about it and heard Li Yuan say, "Originally, the prince was going to come to pick up the crown princess, but he was temporarily invited by the empress to be delayed, so the prince ordered to send the crown princess to Wanhe Palace. It's not early now. Please ask the princess to leave and don't delay the time.
"It's okay." Susman nodded.
The tourmaline arrived early to get a thick cloak and handed it to Qingran: "It's a little inconvenient for me to move. Today, I won't serve the princess to go to Wanhe Palace. I see that you have been serving your master all these days. Let you serve the princess tonight. Be smart, but don't make any mistakes. It's cold at night. Remember to put it on the princess when you come out.
"Syxi sister, don't worry, I will serve the princess well." Qingran looked excited and carefully held the cloak in his arms.
Li Yuan only took away a few of his own soldiers, and the rest of the guards found their own positions and stood firmly everywhere, standing like pine and cypresses, motionless, as if they had been fixed. Sure enough, it was very different from the previous group of bodyguards. Obviously, Liang Shaojun did pick up the good ones and sent them here. Su Siman swept away the unhappiness just now and was in a good mood. He got on the car and left the Chuxiang Pavilion with Liyuan and his party.
Although it was not yet open when I arrived at the Wanhe Palace, it was already full of guests and friends. The emperor's birthday was indeed extraordinary. Envoys from various countries gathered, and all kinds of clothes and languages were loud and lively.
Li Yuan sent her to the women's seat in the palace and said goodbye to Su Siman to assist Commander Yulinwei in patrolling.
There are a lot of people sitting on the mat, but it's a pity that Su Siman basically doesn't know each other. However, although she didn't know them, they seemed to know her. After seeing her sitting down, they were talking in twos and threes. From their appearance from time to time, she guessed that they must be talking about themselves. Of course, she didn't know the rumors in the whole palace that she fell and fell when she was invited to Jiaheng Hall. These lonely women in the deep palace had to gossip for a while. Now that she has seen the protagonist in the legend, of course, she has to discuss and carry forward the spirit of gossip.
There are still many rumors in the palace about this sudden fall from a fool to a normal crown princess. For example, although I can't figure out the queen's heart and attitude towards her, the queen is still good to the prince concubine who is not outstanding in appearance. She even gave the ginseng given by the emperor to the imperial dining room and gave chicken soup to the crown princess, and she usually gives much more delicacies than other palaces. But it should be said that the queen is really good to the princess. I heard that the princess has been inexplicably banned recently, and no one can say the reason. Therefore, there are still a lot of stories about the crown princess. How many after-dinner talks have been added to these deep palace women? Her merits are boundless.
Su Siman was furious when he was seen by them. Every time he bumped into those curious eyes, he had to smile dryly as a reward.
Looking around, Su Siman did not see Feng Wan Wan's figure. In this case, Su Siman really didn't want to see her very much. The two would be somewhat embarrassed to meet. Although they did not tear their faces, after all, there was already an uneven gap between the two. Su Siman was hateful and angry as long as he thought that he had whitened Feng Wan Wan's doorway.
However, today's situation still evoked her memory. It was almost the same on the day of the reunion festival. Feng Wanwan met the source. Obviously, he had a very good relationship with these imperial concubines in the palace, and also attentively introduced this and that to Su Siman. What new and strange things were introduced by Feng Wanwan. Shi Yi understand and vivid... I think the relationship between the two was still good at that time, but now I just hate that passers-by will never meet. She doesn't want to see Feng Wan Wan at all.
I thought I could see Liang Shaojun at the birthday banquet, but I couldn't find it. Su Siman had to look at the layout of the hall and the various officials and foreign envoys of the State of Liang around him.
The hall is brightly lit, shining and fragrant. Zhong Ding sounded every moment, and the clear and more touching, quite penetrating.
The seats of the Liang Palace banquet are very strange. The members of the royal family and the concubines sit separately. The wives and concubines of the princes and ordinary concubines sit in the right back, the prince and princess are in the left wing, the ministers of the country are in the southeast, and the foreign envoys are in the southwest.
Su Siman looked at the opposite side. There were a few people sitting sparsely in the room of the children of the royal family, and she didn't know any of them. Looking further, she happened to see her brother Chu Wenyuan talking to people sideways. She couldn't help waving her hand. She waved for a long time and didn't attract his attention. She couldn't control her excitement. I couldn't come over, and Su Siman didn't think of leaving the seat to the State of Chu.
When she arrived at Chu Wenyuan's side, Su Siman noticed that the person who was talking to her brother was very familiar. She thought about it for a long time before she remembered the person she saw talking to the tourmaline in the Royal Garden last time.
