Charm King Poison Queen

  Chapter 1098 Teaming up with Sikong to tear off the candle dragon (7)

  Looking at his back as he fled in a hurry, Rong Qing's eyes flashed an inexplicable meaning.

   This little episode soon passed without a trace.

A stage was set up on the east side of the Imperial Garden, and they babbled and sang folk dramas. This was prepared by Princess Deqing for Prince Gong. Because she knew that he grew up in the folk and couldn't understand those flashy songs and dances in the palace, she specially prepared it for him. The trustee invited the most famous theater troupe.

   It can be seen from this that Princess Deqing has gradually developed a little affection for Prince Gong.

  Everyone was attracted by the wonderful theatrical performance on stage, but they didn't notice that Sikong Shuo quietly stood behind Ning Yue.

   "Where's Xuanyin?" Sikong Shuo turned his back to Ning Yue, his voice was extremely low, and from a distance, he thought he was talking to Xiao Lizi beside him.

  Ning Yue's eyes swept away, and she also lowered her voice and said, "I didn't come."

   "He didn't come to such an important banquet?"

   "He's here, why don't you fight to the death?"

  Sikong Shuo chuckled.

  An official over there stepped forward to strike up a conversation with Sikong Shuo, and Sikong Shuo responded with a few words.

  Ning Yue pinched the petals in front of her, in a state of selfless admiration.

  The official was embarrassed to interrupt, so he smiled and went over there to strike up a conversation with Rong Qing.

  Sikong Shuo Ruyu plucked the water drops on the peony flower with his fingers: "Zhulong came to look for me."

   "Oh?" Surprised tone.

   "Farewell, Ma Ningyue, you were guarding outside at that time, don't you know that Zhulong went to the palace?"

   "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from your lord." Ning Yue smiled and said, "What did Zhulong say to your lord?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing more than what you've already said. It's just that he wants me to deal with you. In return, he will help me win the throne. It's not the throne in Southern Xinjiang, but Xiliang." Sikong Shuo Said without squinting.

  A court lady walked by herself, and Xiao Lizi shouted loudly: "There is no such peony in our mansion! If you like it, I will buy it right away!"

  The maid bowed and left.

  Ning Yue whispered: "Then you promised Zhulong?"

   "I promised him, will I still appear here?" Sikong Shuo added a few words, "Pay attention to the troupe. No matter who invites you to go anywhere later, don't go."

  Ning Yue's cold gaze swept over Hua Dan who was babbling and singing on the stage. Is it really a grand banquet?

   "Ah Shuo! Ah Shuo! Where are you? Why did I go to a hut and you disappeared? Ah Shuo—"

  Patriarch Sikong ran over with a pale complexion, and hugged Sikong Shuo's hand: "Ah Shuo, why didn't you wait for me? You left alone? I didn't see you when I came out, I was so scared to death!"

  Ning Yue's eyes moved, Patriarch Sikong seemed to be really frightened, and clinging to Sikong Shuo like a three-year-old child.

  Patriarch Sikong found Ning Yue, and instantly stuck his whole body to his eldest son, tremblingly said: "She, she, why is she here? Is Xuanyin also here?"

  Sikong Shuo said softly: "Xuan Yin didn't come, don't be afraid."

   "Oh, oh!" Patriarch Sikong nodded in shock, Sikong Shuo turned around, and he also turned around, hugging Sikong Shuo's arm all the time, never separating for a moment. Before leaving, he gave Ning Yue a guilty look. That glance was quick, but it was enough to be caught by Ning Yue.

  Ning Yue lightly pulled the corner of her lips, it seems that Patriarch Sikong already knew that the girl back then was Lan Zhen.

  …

The queen was still unable to attend the birthday banquet of Princess Deqing, and was accompanied by the imperial concubine. Before the emperor usurped the throne, Empress Shi, like the imperial concubine, was a side concubine in the mansion. When she was sick, she sent Princess Deqing to the imperial concubine's yard. Over time, Princess Deqing regarded the imperial concubine as her half-mother. I heard that Deqing's birthday banquet and wedding are all arranged by the imperial concubine.
