"I didn't expect you to be able to go out and meet people after dressing up.”
In the carriage, Chu Yixuan looked Situ Mantian up and down. After a while, he slowly spat out these words.
Situ Mantiao was looking at the scenery outside the carriage, but she did not expect Chu Yixuan, who had been silent all this while, to suddenly say such words.
Situ Mantian sneered disdainfully and turned to look at Chu Yixuan.
"Should I say thank you for the compliment?"
Every time he saw her, he would look extremely unlucky. This time, he actually took the initiative to talk to her.
It was rare.
Actually, Situ Mantiao was not unattractive, but she did not pay much attention to her appearance. Although she had long hair in her previous life, it was far from as long as it was now. Moreover, she had to tie a heavy bun on her head, so she was naturally not used to it.
Therefore, every time Lian Xin proposed to help her comb her hair, she would shake her head and refuse, saying that there was no need.
Then, she casually tied a hair band behind her. Although it was not as charming as it was now, it was a little more simple and pure. It was also considered beautiful and moving. It was extremely beautiful.
Chu Yixuan looked at Situ Mantian's expression and naturally knew that she disliked talking to him. This perception made his heart sink.
He retracted all the expressions on his face and eyes, leaving only a thick sense of distance.
The Imperial Palace was not far from the Imperial Residence, but because it was daytime and there were too many people in the market, the carriage did not travel fast. After about two hours, the two of them guessed that they had arrived at the Imperial Palace.
"This is the Emperor's twenty-seventh birthday, and those who are attending are all people with status. You must not speak nonsense at the banquet.”
Chu Yixuan still seemed to be worried about her. When the two of them followed the eunuchs to the imperial garden, he still reminded her worriedly.
Situ Mantian lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Chu Yixuan did not see the expression in her eyes and naturally did not know what she was thinking as she walked beside him.
This birthday was definitely not as perfect as he had imagined.
The Imperial Palace was very large. The previous few times he had come, he had been in a hurry and had not had enough time to observe it. Now that he looked at it in detail, it was indeed as grand and magnificent as recorded in the history books.
"Eunuch, is everyone here for the banquet?”
Situ Mantian, who was following Chu Yixuan, suddenly looked at her father-in-law who was leading the way with a puzzled look on her face.
The other two naturally didn't know why Situ Manyao asked this question, so they stopped in their tracks and looked at her.
"Not yet. It's still early. Some of the lords are usually busy with work and will arrive late.”
His voice was sharp and shrill, just like how it was portrayed on television, like a woman.
Situ Mantian stopped sizing him up and looked around.
"Since it's not time yet, then Eunuch should go and do your own things. I want to take a stroll around the palace. When the time is up, I will go to the imperial garden myself.”
She didn't want to stay with Chu Yixuan, and the imperial palace was indeed very attractive to her. She wanted to walk around and kill some time.
"Scum, but wangfei must not go too far, otherwise you will not be able to walk back.”
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Chu Yixuan frowned.
" No, the palace is so big. You've only been here a few times. You can do whatever you want in the palace…"
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Before Chu Yixuan could finish, Situ Mantiao interrupted him and walked away.
Chu Yixuan was furious when he saw Situ Mantiao treating him with such an attitude. He looked at her with a dark face.
"Didn't you hear me talking to you?”
He had thought that this woman would be more obedient to him, but now it seemed that she was still the same, always going against him.
"I don't want to hear it. It's not that I didn't hear it."
Situ Mantiao did not show any fear on her face. She turned around and looked at Chu Yixuan, her eyes staring straight at him.
"You!"
Chu Yixuan clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. It was obvious that Situ Mantian was furious.
"Goodbye!"
Seeing Chu Yixuan so angry that he couldn't say anything, Situ Mantian felt an inexplicable pleasure in her heart. She turned around and left. Chu Yixuan looked at her back and sneered.
Since she didn't listen to his advice, then let her be.
The palace was heavily guarded and there were guards patrolling everywhere. It would be good if she was killed as an assassin!
Chu Yixuan smiled coldly and turned to walk towards the room.
Situ Mantiao was very curious about everything here. From time to time, she would see rows of servant girls passing by. She couldn't help but think of the scene on the television and felt inexplicably excited.
The palace was indeed very big. Situ Mantian walked for a long time but still couldn't reach the end. She looked up at her head tiredly and felt thirsty.
Although she had never stayed in the palace before, she knew that this was not a place where she could do whatever she wanted. Therefore, even though she would occasionally bump into some palaces here, she did not dare to enter. Instead, she turned around and returned the way she came.
After wandering around here for so long, it was probably about time.
Situ Mantiao thought to herself. She had paid attention to the things she had seen and remembered some of the iconic things, so she wouldn't forget that she would get lost.
When she walked to the pavilion in front, she saw a man dressed in silk standing in the pavilion and playing a flute.
Although Situ Manyao didn't know much about musical instruments, she had the basic ability to appreciate them. She stopped in her tracks unconsciously.
He had his back to her, so she couldn't see his face clearly. However, just by looking at his figure, Situ Manyao could guess that this person in front of her was definitely not bad looking.
After the song ended, the flute stopped playing and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Situ Mantiao seemed to have come back to her senses. She looked at the flute in his hand with clear eyes and turned to leave.
She had already disturbed him, so there was no need to continue disturbing him.
"Miss, after listening to my flute, you turned around and left. Don't you know that this is very rude to others?”
Suddenly, a laughter came from behind him. Situ Mantian had already retracted her foot.
She looked at him.
Judging from his attire, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Situ Mantian carefully examined his gentle features. The corners of his eyes were slightly curved. His already good-looking features seemed to be even more charming when combined. He was tall and elegant, and his demeanor was elegant.
"I just didn't want to disturb you.”
She explained calmly. Her face was expressionless, but her eyes were slightly apologetic.
The man seemed to have noticed her serious emotions. He smiled nonchalantly and put away the long flute in his hand.
"It's fine, this is for others to hear, Young Lady doesn't seem like someone from the palace!”
He sized her up without batting an eyelid and quickly retracted his gaze.
Situ Mantian didn't say anything. She curled her lips and didn't comment.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first.”
Situ Mantiao didn't have the desire to continue chatting with him. The emperor's birthday was no small matter. It wouldn't be good if he was late and angered the dragon.
The man's eyes darted around as he walked toward Situ Mantian.
"Young Lady, are you going to the Imperial Garden to attend the Emperor's birthday banquet?”
Situ Mantian didn't expect him to be so accurate, but he wasn't surprised. After all, he was from the palace, so it was normal for him to guess his purpose in coming to the palace.
Situ Mantiao nodded and didn't say anything else. She turned her back to him and left.
After going around in circles, they finally arrived at the imperial garden.
Situ Mantiao stood at the entrance and looked at the busy crowd. It seemed that the banquet had not started yet, and the people sitting in the banquet were all unfamiliar faces.
She raised her head to look at the sky. The sun was just right, but she didn't know what time it was.
"Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time.”
Just as he was hesitating whether to go over or stay where he was, he heard a familiar cold voice coming from in front of him.
Situ Mantian put away the helplessness in her eyes and looked up at Chu Yixuan.
She was now on the opposite side of Chu Yixuan and she should not let him see any weakness in her.
"I didn't think that your highness would care so much about me.”
Situ Mantiao looked at him expressionlessly and quickly looked away.
She thought that perhaps her relationship with Chu Yixuan could only continue like this. In his subconscious, she had killed the person he loved.
As for herself, she could never forget the broken memories that he had given her.
Moreover, this memory would continue in the future. As long as she did not leave this place, she could not guarantee that she would not be harmed like that in the future.
Situ Mantiao pursed her lips and looked at Chu Yixuan.
"Has the banquet started?"
She had been standing here and looking around for a while, but she did not see the emperor.
She had only seen the Emperor a few times, so she naturally couldn't remember what he looked like. However, his bright yellow clothes should be eye-catching.
"Not yet."
Chu Yixuan glanced at her and motioned for her to follow him. Then he turned around and walked towards the seat that was arranged.
Situ Mantiao hesitated for a moment before following him.
The table was almost filled with people. Situ Manyao glanced around and saw Situ Feng not far away.
Her father?
Situ Manyao couldn't help but frown and look away in the next second.
When she was still in the Prime Minister's Estate, he had not been nice to her. Moreover, because of Situ Lian, his attitude towards her was too bad. She felt that there was no need for her to go over and greet him.
"Sit quietly for a while. The banquet is about to begin.”
A low voice sounded in her ear. Situ Manya secretly rolled her eyes and felt annoyed.
As expected of a relative of the royal family. Even eating a meal had so many restrictions.
Situ Mantiao retracted her gaze and obediently sat down on her seat. The busy palace maids also slowly retreated. It seemed that everything was almost ready.
Suddenly, Situ Mantiao felt someone looking at him and was about to raise his head to see who it was.
In this palace, apart from the Emperor and Empress Dowager, she didn't know anyone else.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
Before she could raise her head completely, a force pressed her head down as a greeting.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
