Chapter 954: Revealing old scores?
Hearing him mention Jiangdu Palace, Eunuch Yu tightened his hand on the fly whisk.
But Yu Wenyuan himself stopped. After a moment of silence, he waved his hands and said, "It's okay. You can go down. I want to rest."
"Yes."
Eunuch Yu turned around and extinguished the last candlestick. When the entire Liangyi Hall fell into darkness, he slowly left the hall. The moment he closed the palace door, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then he felt a clammy feeling on his back, and he actually broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, as early as at the Baifu Hall night banquet, when the dancer named Sun Tianyue appeared, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Because that person’s dancing looks so much like Chu Yang!
At that moment, Eunuch Jade almost lost consciousness, thinking that time had passed and he had returned to the emperor who was as handsome as an immortal, but also arrogant, and regarded all the people in the world as ants. However, after all, he has experienced too many storms and waves in his life. After the initial shock, he immediately came to his senses, and then doubts arose in his heart -
Why did such a dancer appear?
More importantly, Yu Wenyuan left it to Han Shanggong to handle the singing and dancing at the Baifu Hall night banquet.
After the hawthorn cake incident, Eunuch Yu took away part of the power of Han Shang Palace, and the emperor neglected her for a while. However, after all, she was an old man who was used to using her in Qiandi, and with the death of Duke Shenwu, Yu Wenyuan Not only will such a nostalgic person not be more indifferent to Han Shanggong because of Dong Bizheng's death, but he will cherish the people who are related to Dong Bizheng more.
So Dong Yue was promoted to Minister of War not long after, and this time the night banquet was also arranged by Han Shanggong.
But what happened at the night banquet immediately made Eunuch Yu feel that something was not simple.
In particular, Princess Qin, like him, was a little distracted when she saw Sun Xianyue's dancing. Later, she was deliberately brought to the attention of everyone by the Crown Princess. The emperor just asked about Jiangdu Palace. It was obviously because The princess's words brought something to mind.
Eunuch Yu turned his head and looked at the dark night in front of him. The dark night had a suffocating solemnity.
He sighed again and slowly walked away.
This heavy night is like a big stone weighing on Shang Ruyi's heart. Even after washing and lying on the bed, it is difficult to fall asleep for a long time.
Yesterday, the agile figure she saw by Wangyunting Pavilion should be Sun Xianyue who was practicing there. However, when she was shocked, she thought she had thought of Chu because of Chu Ruoyan. Only then did she feel that the man's sword dance looked familiar, so she left Wangyunting without staying too much.
But I didn’t expect to see him again tonight.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, their sword dances are still different. Sun Xianyue's sword dance is more serious, while Chu Yang's sword dance is light and casual. However, because he hasn't seen the sword for a long time, The dance, coupled with Sun Xianyue's flowing clothes, still made her involuntarily recall everything before, and she became a little distracted.
Then——
Did the Crown Princess do it on purpose?
But, what is her intention in doing this? Is it still the same as the previous battle in Taiyuan, humiliating yourself by performing a dance for the Turkic envoy? Or do you want to bring up the old issues again and settle the old dispute between yourself and Chu Yang?
If this was the case, then she shouldn't have just said a few words at the night banquet and then stopped, and she was still safe.
Do they have other intentions?
While Shang Ruyi was thinking about it, the figure of Sun Xianyue kept tumbling in his mind. The figure gradually blurred and seemed to have transformed into another arrogant and casual figure. Shang Ruyi closed his eyes in pain, trying to That figure squeezed out of his mind and memory, but there was nothing he could do about it.
It seemed that it was not in her mind or memory, but deeply engraved in her life...
As if torn and entangled with her own memory, this night , Shang Ruyi was never able to sleep peacefully. When he got up in the morning, he was exhausted and his body was limp. While combing her hair, Tu Sheer said worriedly: "The princess didn't sleep well."
Shang Ruyi also looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said nothing.
Tu Sheer immediately said: "But there is nothing to do today. The princess will go back to sleep later."
Shang Ruyi didn't say anything. In fact, she knew that she might not be able to sleep when she lay down, even if she had fallen asleep last night. , the chaotic and restless dream also disturbed her peace, so she might as well sit quietly for a while to refresh herself.
So, after washing up and having breakfast, she sat quietly by the window. After a while, she was asked to bring the Four Treasures of the Study out to write.
Writing can calm her mind.
But just after writing two strokes, he heard someone talking outside. Shang Ruyi put down his pen and was about to ask what happened when he saw Tusheer walking in with a few young eunuchs. He was carrying a smoking cage and a small jar.
The leading young eunuch saluted Shang Ruyi and said, "Greetings to Princess Qin. The servants are here to clean up termites for Qianqiu Palace today."
Shang Ruyi nodded and asked, "How do you do it?"
The little eunuch held the jar in his hand and said, "This is bamboo vinegar, slave. We use this stuff to sprinkle it on the places where termites build their nests, and also fumigate them everywhere in the palace to drive away termites. They have already used this stuff in the Liangyi Palace and the Harem in the morning.”
“This stuff is used. Does it work?”
“Don’t worry, Princess, termites are afraid of this thing”
Tusheer on the side said: "Then you have to look carefully. Our princess has a lot of calligraphy and paintings. If you don't take care of them and let the termites come down and damage them, it will be all your fault!"
The few young eunuchs could only laugh and beg for mercy. Shang Ruyi gave her a look and said: "Okay, what are you talking about? Let's take them to do things."
Tusheer nodded and asked to take him. Those little eunuchs go down.
The leading young eunuch said again: "Princess, the smell of bamboo vinegar fumigation is pungent and unpleasant. It's not good for people to stay here. Princess, you'd better take your highness to get away. The sun is good outside." "
Hearing what he said, Shang Ruyi had no choice but to ask Tu Sheer to pack up his pen and paper, and asked Nurse Feng to bring Xiao Yuanzi out.
As soon as they walked out of the Qianqiu Palace, they saw several young eunuchs covering their faces with white gauze. They boiled bamboo vinegar and poured it into the fumigation cage. The billowing white smoke came out of the cage and soon filled the entire hall. The pungent sour smell wafted in the wind, and it stung Shang Ruyi several times. When he turned around, he saw that Xiao Yuanzi's eyes were red, and she was lying in Nanny Feng's arms about to cry.
So they did not dare to stay any longer and hurried away.
Looking back, I saw Qianqiu Palace shrouded in smoke from a distance...
