The ice pool was clear and blue, and the sky was bright. The fragrance was scattered by the falling red. The thick weeds were luxuriant, and the orioles were chirping in the air. The bamboo railings were slightly cool, and the breeze hit the beautiful women. Accompanied by Zhu Er, Hao Yueyi went to the side garden hall of Lanlin Garden. She thought she would arrive early, but she found that she was actually the last one to arrive. There were seven beautiful women sitting quietly on a large red sandalwood table. They were dressed up beautifully. Hao Yue Yi, who was wearing a golden jade hairpin, looked especially cold in front of them.
Haoyue Yi's late arrival attracted their attention, and they immediately withdrew their scrutinizing gazes. Haoyue Yi understood that she had successfully played her role in front of them. She gently brushed the tassels on her forehead and leisurely sat down on the only empty seat. The huge Inner Hall was exceptionally quiet at this moment. Everyone was sitting in front of the table in silence. No one touched their bowls and chopsticks. The atmosphere was so cold that it was awkward.
It was unknown who broke the suffocating atmosphere. First, he introduced his background and then said some polite words. This made everyone gradually relax. Then, they smiled and introduced themselves. "My name is Cheng Yilin, I'm from Jinling, 27 years old, my father is the Minister of War…"
"My name is Xue Ruo. I'm from Yangzhou. I'm 26 years old. My father is the governor of Yangzhou…"
"Su Yao, North Desert Great General Su Jinghong is my father!”His words attracted the attention of everyone present. Haoyue Yi also looked at the woman sitting on her left.
It was not an exaggeration to use the national beauty and heavenly fragrance on her. Her appearance was dignified and beautiful, with auspicious colors flowing everywhere. Her beauty was like a touch of warm sun in the empty valley and secluded forest, making people enjoy looking at her. So she was the daughter of General Su Jinghong, who held a large army in the court. This general should be the only important official in the court with a clean family background. He was not like the other officials who followed the Empress Dowager to climb up the power ladder.
"Miss, what about you?" Xue Ruo, who was on the right, asked Haoyue Yi, who hadn't said anything.
"Chen Xi, 28 years old, from Suzhou. His father, Chen Ziyang, was appointed as the salt transport envoy of the two rivers.”Haoyue Yi didn't have a prominent background like them, so her words didn't attract anyone's attention.
The so-called gathering ended in this seemingly harmonious and peaceful environment, and everyone returned to their own residences. I remember that before they left, a young eunuch who claimed to be sent by Eunuch Xi Dequan stopped them and said that they must gather in the inner hall early tomorrow morning. The palace has sent an auntie with deep qualifications to teach us palace etiquette.
Hearing this, Haoyue Yi couldn't help but frown. She knew that hard days were coming. Even if it was hard, she had nothing to fear. No matter how hard the days were, no matter how painful the memories were, Haoyue Yi had already walked this way. What else could make her afraid?
It was close to midnight, but Haoyue Yi couldn't fall asleep on this strange bed. After many turns, she finally chose to open the light gauze curtain, casually picked up a light yellow cloak to cover her thin body and walked out of the house. Although the door was opened very gently, the heavy door still creaked in the quiet night garden. The chill of the night spread throughout his body. Haoyueyi shivered and wrapped his cloak tightly around his thin body.
Looking at the dark night, the new moon slowly crossed the willow branches, the white moon pierced through the flowers and trees, the wind moved the parasol trees, the dark dust did not rise, the waterside pavilions came and fell into shadows. For many years, Haoyue Yi had long been used to sitting alone in front of the stage late at night and looking at the moon alone. She often thought of Su Shi's words," I hope we can live together for a long time." When she thought of Qin Mufeng, she laughed at herself. Who could be with her now to enjoy the waning moon from thousands of miles away?
With a long sigh, she lifted the slightly long skirt by her feet and sat sideways in front of the corridor outside the door. The coldness of the ground spread from her feet to her entire body. Haoyue Yi didn't expect the palace to be so cold at night. She had just sat down for a while, and her whole body was stiff. She was considering whether she should go back to the room and hide in the warm quilt when a black shadow stretched out on the corridor. Haoyue Yi suddenly got up and looked at the source of the black shadow.
When she saw who it was, a sharp sword was already pressed against Haoyue Yi's neck. A man wearing a night-traveling robe was staring at her coldly. Haoyue Yi could see the obvious killing intent in his eyes. Was he here to kill her?
Impossible, she hid so well in the palace, how could she make enemies so easily? Then there was only one possibility. He was an assassin, but he was unlucky enough to be bumped into by Haoyue Yi! On second thought, to be able to enter the palace so easily, it must be someone who was familiar with the layout of the palace.
" Your Majesty, the assassin seems to have come from here..." Hao Yueyi heard someone calling for the emperor. He was able to attract the emperor to personally lead the troops to search for him. This person must be extraordinary.
The man in black clothes had cold eyes without a trace of warmth. Haoyue Yi, who was still thinking about how to escape, suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
When more than twenty guards arrived, they raised their torches high and lit up the surroundings." Emperor, there's a lady here!”Ruthless, who was standing in front, shouted. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 25PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
