By the time Xiao Ting returned to the Heavenly Mystery Realm on the Heart Lake, the banquet had already begun. The sounds of silk music had already reached her ears, and the dancers danced gracefully above the lake, like a group of fleeting fairies under the reflection of the moonlight.
All of them had long sleeves that fluttered elegantly, looking incomparably beautiful.
A warm breeze, a fragrant wine, and a wild joy. On the high platform, three heavyweight figures were enthusiastically watching the dance steps not too far away.
A band of the king and his officials were celebrating.
"Elder sister, where did you go just now? Imperial Concubine sent someone to find you." The moment Xiao Ting sat down, Xiao Xin pulled on her sleeve and looked at her worriedly.
Xiao Ting pinched his nose, and said: "Children's families, why do you care about adults, huh? "Sit down and eat."
Xiao Xin shook his head and shook off Xiao Ting's Demon Claw, discussing softly, "Big sister is not an adult! Also, the Emperor asked why you didn't come just now. Small Cloud covered it up for you. "
Chu Yun lightly snorted, "If it wasn't for considering Ninth Prince's Estate's reputation, natural son would have definitely lied on her behalf.
"Your majesty, he sat so high up here. There are so many people here, why would he ask about me?" Xiao Ting was surprised, although he was close to the stage, he was not that lucky?
"You also said that the people sitting here are all descendants of the imperial family, and there are only two children in Ninth Prince's Estate." You also said that the people sitting here are all descendants of the imperial family, and there are only two children in Ninth Prince's Estate. When he mentioned this, Chu Yun was depressed.
It's fine if Royal Father doesn't know where he's going, but this woman who always causes trouble, didn't she say she was going to look for the Imperial Concubine?
It was outrageous to leave the two of them here.
"Eh …." Xiao Ting looked to her left and right, as if that was the reason.
On the left were the Prince Rui's Palace's family members. There were actually dozens of men and women, and one of the women had caught her attention.
It was the Imperial Consort Rui whom he had met that day in the palace, the one with the extremely white lotus.
She forgot what it was called.
And on the right was the current third prince with a rich amount of holy pets, a beautiful woman, and a child. It was likely that it was the legendary lateral consort and her young royal grandson.
raised his head, and saw the Fifth Young Master sitting opposite of them. He did not take the seat of honor, but was sitting at the side, showing that he was not the main character.
No, that's not important. What's important is that this place is practically filled with royal family members, what is his identity?
Was she tricked by someone?
Seeing him smile so brilliantly, Xiao Ting glared at him fiercely and did not look at him again.
"Right, where is your father?"
Alright, it's fine if she isn't here. But where is her cheap husband, the one who had been busy at the palace all day?
Chu Yun was a little disappointed, "I don't know."
Xiao Ting was about to say something when someone squeezed in from behind, "Ting'er, where did you go? I've been looking for you for a long time."
It was the Princess Zhao Hua, but when she saw Xiao Ting, he pushed her way through the crowd and arrived in front of him.
"Sit over there." Xiao Ting instructed Chu Yun and Xiao Xin to move their butts, and then asked Zhaohua to sit down.
Everyone was standing in front of a low table. It was too eye-catching for her to stand like this.
"I went to find my aunt. I didn't expect to miss her. What happened?"
The Zhaohua was fuming as she whispered to Xiao Ting, "Can you see the girl behind Royal Grandmother?"
Xiao Ting looked over and was shocked to find that the Princess Yue was actually sitting behind the empress dowager.
Although everyone was seated and did things to serve the empress dowager, not everyone was lucky enough to sit on the high platform.
Even the Zhaohua being doted upon by the empress dowager had never received such honor.
"Prince Rui's Palace's princess,? Month."
Zhaohua clenched her teeth, "That's right, it's her. I've long heard that this girl is proficient in martial arts. This is the first time we've met, but I didn't expect her to bribe Royal Grandmother."
Xiao Ting expressed that some people felt the same way at first sight. Maybe they were talking about the empress dowager and the? Month, while some people hated each other the most.
"Shameless, you only know how to make Royal Grandmother happy." In the end, the Zhaohua was a member of the Imperial Family. Although she didn't like the look of the? Month, he still couldn't say anything unpleasant to hear.
But Xiao Ting was different, she immediately said, "Bastards are always like this."
"Yes, a bitch."
Xiao Xin stood at the side and blinked at the two of them from time to time. In the end, he still said, "Big Sister, we're still young, we can't teach bad kids."
Chu Yun continued to snort coldly, "natural son is not afraid, you better not bring harm to my cousin."
Zhaohua turned red and laughed as she went over.
"Eh? Ting'er, why is the little gongzi of the King of Jiangnan Palace always looking at you, do you know him? "
Zhaohua scanned her surroundings and suddenly caught a glimpse of a line of sight.
Xiao Ting had already lowered his head and started to eat, but after hearing this she said without raising his head, "Young noble of the King of Jiangnan Palace, which one? I don't know him! "
"No way, then why is he still smiling at you?" Zhaohua poked Xiao Ting with her arm.
Xiao Ting then raised her head, unhappily following her gaze, and instantly became furious.
"You said, he's the son of the King of Jiangnan!" Xiao Ting pointed to the Fifth Young Master and asked.
Zhaohua nodded her head as she laughed, "That's right, the one sitting in front is the son of the King of Jiangnan, and the one beside him is the Fifth Young Master.
The Zhaohua used her absolutely wrong information to explain, Xiao Ting was speechless, the Fifth Young Master was a weak scholar?
Then who was the one who brought her to perform Qing Gong to overturn the brothel wall?
There were also playboys and the like. Hmm, this might still be okay, but what about that shy man who didn't dare to change his clothes in front of her?
Aiya, quite a number of brain cells have died. Forget it.
"Oh, previously, the Prince invited him to stay in the mansion for a few days."
Zhaohua was even more surprised now, "Ninth Prince is inviting the young master of King of Jiangnan to stay in the Duke's Mansion?"
Xiao Ting was speechless, "Is it really that scary?"
If you did not personally say it, this princess would not have believed you even if you had beaten me to death. You must know that even this princess had never spent the night in the Ninth Prince's Estate, I thought I could make an exception when I was drunk last time, but in the end, I was still thrown into the palace by the Ninth Prince.
"Ninth Prince's Estate never takes in outsiders for the night."
In the end, Zhaohua gave this conclusion.
Xiao Ting blinked her eyes. Was there really such a strange person?
Chu Yun stared at Xiao Ting as if she hated him for letting him down, and said: "Now you know how much Royal Father has forgiven a woman like you, right?"
"Hmph, first I picked up a heavily injured maidservant, then I picked up another …" "Two days ago, I brought back a man. Even if he is Uncle Wang's son, he is also a man. Do you know how he wrote the word 'avoid suspicion'?" After Chu Yun finished speaking, she also realized that she had misspoken a few words, because at this moment, Xiao Xin's eyes were wide open as he looked at her with a bit of grievance.
Xiao Xin was also brought into the Duke Palace by Xiao Ting.
"Since the Duke Palaces are so large, it's not like a few more people won't be able to live there. Besides, the reason I came back to pick up Small Ten is to accompany you, and this child has no conscience at all. If it wasn't for the fact that I is afraid that you've grown up lacking calcium and lack love, how could Small Ten come and live under someone at such a young age?"
Xiao Ting had truly joined in the argument with Chu Yun, but in the end, it was Chu Yun who naturally fell into a disadvantage.
Xiao Xin was also amused by his sister's words.
On the other side, when the Fifth Young Master saw that Xiao Ting had only given him a glare and did not look at him again, it was as if he had forgotten about him.
The son of the King of Jiangnan's gaze drifted between him and Xiao Ting, and he suddenly asked, "In the past two days, where have you been in the Ninth Prince?"
The Fifth Young Master once again returned to his flower like appearance, he tilted his body and drank his wine, then said: "That's right, I was hunted down by the Ninth Princess who saved me."
The son of the King of Jiangnan narrowed his eyes and did not say anything else.
The fifth young master suddenly leaned over and rested his head on Tang Wulin's shoulder. "Big brother, who do you think is trying to kill me?"
The son of the King of Jiangnan froze, "If they want to kill me, they'll kill me, they won't do anything to you."
"Yeah." The Fifth Young Master took another big gulp of wine, the wine trickling down the corner of his mouth onto the shoulder of the son of the King of Jiangnan. He frowned slightly, pushed his head away and said, "Drink less."
"Don't worry, I won't get drunk." The Fifth Young Master was like candy as he fell down once again, "Father sent Cheng Yunyi here, how can you not be worried?"
The son of the King of Jiangnan snorted and said coldly, "Whatever. I don't care."
"You don't care, I don't care." The son of the King of Jiangnan did not hear Fifth Young Master's words clearly. He asked again, and the Fifth Young Master shook his head.
"Why did you tell me that?" He did not know that Cheng Yunyi had come to the imperial city.
The fifth young master's smile was as bright as the sun. His clear and bright voice was very pleasant to listen to. In addition, he was a bit drunk and a bit hoarse after drinking, which also gave him a kind of mellow feeling.
"Because you're my brother!"
The son of the King of Jiangnan had a cold look between his brows, after pushing him away, he sat a little further away, "I am not your brother."
"Hehehe …"
"Look, Imperial Consort Xiao is here."
Above the lake, the group of birds had long since retreated. Within the rippling waves, there was only the lake-like glow of the stage.
The night was light and hazy, the moonlight was clear, and the water curtain in the center of the stage slowly rose up.
Imperial Consort Xiao's crescent white immortal dress danced, her long sleeves waved to two sides, a graceful posture of raising her foot attracted everyone's attention.
Beautiful and beautiful, independent of the world!
With another spin, all the guests on the platform quieted down. They silently looked in one direction, as if there was only a sliver of moonlight left in the world.
Ding dong sounds rang out, like a clear spring flowing through people's hearts, causing them to feel relaxed and happy.
The Imperial Consort Xiao's dancing posture was without a doubt beautiful. Looking from afar, she looked like a fairy in the night, spinning, jumping, and looking back, every movement was filled with enticement.
This was a very contradictory feeling.
There was the condensation of a fairy, and there was also the charm of a demoness.
Compared to her usual self, she was at a complete disadvantage.
The music sounded like the ghosts in an empty valley, mysterious yet sincere.
"Good, good …"
Following the applause, Imperial Consort Xiao withdrew her temperament and returned to her usual delicate and incomparably charming Imperial Concubine.
She placed both her hands in front of her and was just about to say something, when suddenly the stage was in chaos. The sword Qi clashed and resounded in everyone's ears.
"Protect the Emperor." The leader of the Royal Guard, Xu Yu, was the first to rush over, but he was stopped by those people.
