The dinner started at the hour of You, with men and women sitting at separate tables.

The emperor and all his ministers and princes ate on the third floor, while the empress and all the female guests ate on the second floor.

Before they parted, Su Lingyue checked carefully and found that Xiao Yu's silver needle was still there.

After instructing Xiao Yu, Su Lingyue went to the second floor with Caidie Caiyi.

The layout of the second floor is the same as that of the third floor, both are large spaces with some load-bearing columns in the middle.

The banquet table is not very big, with ten people at each table, and you can sit according to your preferences.

Su Lingyue naturally sat next to the queen.

But as soon as she sat down, Su Nanxing sat down next to her.

Su Lingyue looked at Su Nanxing with displeasure on her face, "Did the Crown Princess sit in the wrong seat?"

Su Nanxing was unusually respectful and said with a smile, "Sister, it's great that you can come back safely!"

The voice is pleasant and gentle!

Su Lingyue couldn't help but find her expression funny. She glanced at her sideways and asked with a smile, "Are you really happy?"

Su Nanxing looked well-behaved and replied with a smile: "Of course, you are my biological sister."

Su Lingyue was too lazy to talk to her. She looked at the queen aggrievedly and said coquettishly, "Aunt, my sister is sitting next to me. I'm scared!"

The Queen is looking at Concubine Yi.

Today, Concubine Yi was wearing a silver-gray brocade palace gown with cloud patterns embroidered in silver thread on the cuffs and hem, which sparkled brightly in the candlelight.

Concubine Yi is Xiao Changan's mother, and now it is Concubine Yi who is basically arranging Xiao Changan's marriage to a princess.

So those noble ladies from aristocratic families who were interested all sat at Concubine Yi's table today.

Including Wang Jingshu and the granddaughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat.

Only ten people can sit at a table, and some people who are not of high enough status will naturally be squeezed out.

Hearing Su Lingyue's voice, the queen came back to her senses and looked at Su Nanxing beside Su Lingyue.

The Queen knew everything about Su Lingyue and Su Nanxing, and she also knew a little about Su Nanxing's character.

Then he said, "Xing'er, come over here."

Su Nanxing clenched her fingers and said respectfully, "Yes, mother!"

Su Lingyue smiled at Su Nanxing and waved at her.

Su Nanxing said aggrievedly: "Since my sister doesn't like me, I will just leave. Why do this?"

After saying that, she leisurely left the seat beside Su Lingyue, and a scent wafted in the air as her long sleeves passed by.

Su Lingyue covered her nose with a handkerchief.

The fragrance is so strong that you can use it to fumigate the toilet.

The dishes at the dinner were all prepared by the temple’s head chef, and they were very authentic vegetarian dishes, which tasted much better than what we had eaten a few days ago.

The Queen was sitting here, and Eunuch He had tested every dish with a silver needle.

Wensi tofu, the broth is made from mushroom soup and is very delicious.

There are also three fresh delicacies, sweet glutinous rice cakes, stewed bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse and tofu fried dumplings... many of which are not available in the palace.

Su Lingyue enjoyed the meal very much and thought it tasted especially good. She would also ask Nanny Cui to pass some to the Queen.

Halfway through the banquet, Wang Jingshu, who was sitting at Concubine Yi's table, frowned, held her stomach, and walked out quickly.

Su Lingyue looked away, curled her lips lightly, and was about to close the net.

"Aunt, I'll be back soon." Su Lingyue bowed to the Queen and followed her out of the Observation Pavilion.

Outside the viewing pavilion, Wang Jingshu was hurriedly walking out, supported by her personal maid.

"Where is the toilet? Haven't we arrived there yet?" Wang Jingshu walked while holding her stomach with a distorted face.

"Miss, please bear with it for a while. It's right next to the library in front and we'll be there soon." The little maid supported Wang Jingshu and walked towards the toilet with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After a commotion, Wang Jingshu finally came out of the toilet satisfied.

She stroked her belly, feeling indescribably happy.

"Let's go, go back quickly. We can't let that little bitch take advantage of the opportunity to catch the eye of Concubine Yi. What's so great about being the granddaughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat? My father is going to be the Minister of Revenue!"

As the two of them came out of the toilet, a fragrant breeze blew towards them in the dim light. Before they could react, they closed their eyes and fell down.

A man jumped out from the corner of the wall and caught the two of them.

"Jitang, good catch."

Su Lingyue came over from the other side with colorful butterflies and colorful clothes, with a smile on her face.

"Take them to the third floor of the Sutra Library."

"Yes, master."

Caidie Caiyi was guarding at the stairs on the first floor of the Sutra Library. Ji Tang held one of them under each arm and went into the third floor of the Sutra Library with Su Lingyue.

The Sutra Repository is usually deserted except for some monks who come to get the sutras during the day, making it a perfect place for having sex.

"Jitang put the door on the ground."

Ji Tang followed the instructions and put Wang Jingshu and her maid down.

Su Lingyue took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a pill from it and put it into Wang Jingshu's mouth.

"Why did the donor come to the Sutra Pavilion instead of attending the banquet at the Observation Pavilion?"

A man's voice came from behind the rows of bookshelves.

Su Lingyue was startled by the sudden sound. Ji Tang, who was standing beside her, held the hilt of the sword vigilantly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"who!"

Su Lingyue clenched her fingers, stared at the place where the voice came from, and asked in a cold voice.

The footsteps sounded little by little. Su Lingyue looked at the two people at her feet and her heart suddenly tightened.

If they took a few steps closer, Wang Jingshu and her maid would be seen.

Su Lingyue pulled Ji Tang's sleeve, signaling him to take Wang Jingshu and his maid to hide behind the other half of the bookshelf.

There is no light here, and the only way to see is through the light coming from the observation pavilion on the other side.

Maybe this way they wouldn't be discovered.

Ji Tang understood what he meant, and quickly picked up the two people on the ground, one in each hand, and hid them behind the bookshelf on the other side.

Qinggong is really a great thing. Su Lingyue was so close but she didn’t hear any footsteps.

Just as Ji Tang hid himself, the man walked out from behind the bookshelf right in front of Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue pinched her fingers to keep herself calm.

The man stopped one step away from Su Lingyue.

Through the dim light, Su Lingyue could only see a vague shadow, a monk.

Su Lingyue calmed down and chuckled, "Master, what a coincidence. I was passing by here and was curious about what was inside, so I came to take a look."

The monk said calmly, "Don't run around at night, go back to the viewing pavilion."

"Yes, I'll be back soon."

Su Lingyue's heart sank. She had asked Ji Tang to check in advance. Usually there was no one in the Sutra Repository. How come there was a monk there today!

It looks like today's plans have to be cancelled.

"There is also a male donor and two women beside him."

The voice was calm and indifferent, but it sent a chill down Su Lingyue's spine.

How did he know? Su Lingyue was next to Ji Tang, but she couldn't hear any sound from Ji Tang, but he was so far away, yet he could hear it!

"Master, you are joking. I am the only one here, but there are others over there!"

Su Lingyue's body trembled slightly. She pinched the nails on the palm of her hand and increased the force. The pain allowed her to stabilize her body temporarily.

I absolutely cannot admit it at this time. At worst, I can hold him back and let Ji Tang take the opportunity to jump out the window and leave!

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Only by letting go of your obsession can you be free. Miss Yue, long time no see!"
