Falling into ambush, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and as the temperature rises, some people feel even hotter and hotter.

The annual lotus banquet organized by the queen is coming again. This year, the empress specially appointed Lu Xiwei to attend in front of the emperor. Lu Xiwei did not ignore the queen's provocation as before, and agreed.

Sure enough, as soon as the news was released, the fifth prince first stated that he would also participate, and the third prince also said that he would go. It may be because the prince and the fifth prince did not participate in the lotus banquet last year.

This time, the two princes, who have no concubines, both expressed that they would attend, so each household mobilized their own contacts, and it was hard to find a post for the lotus banquet. It is foreseeable that this year's lotus banquet will be unprecedentedly lively. The queen is happy to see it succeed.

Lu Xiwei attended the lotus banquet, so he ordered Wu Qingcheng to accompany him.

On this day, Lu Xiwei's carriage, which rarely attended public occasions, drove to the palace for a banquet, which caused quite a commotion. Some people bought firecrackers and incense early, and waited at the place where Lu Xiwei's carriage must pass. A small carriage drove up, and immediately, firecrackers were fired, and everyone burned incense and worshiped, which showed the people's admiration.

Because they were afraid of disturbing the carriage and people in the carriage, they always waited for the news from the messenger, and set off firecrackers half a quarter in advance. Everyone followed such a default rule, and no one dared to violate it.

In the carriage, Lu Xiwei was lying on his side on the couch, with a book in his hand as usual, his wide sleeves slid down to his elbows due to his movements, revealing a section of jade-colored skin, but slightly thinner, Wu Qingcheng and Lu Xiwei were facing each other While sitting, he was brewing green tea in his hand, and the faint fragrance of tea permeated the small compartment, gradually becoming more fragrant.

Wu Qingcheng took a cup of tea and handed it to the table, and Lu Xiwei also reached out to take it in a timely manner, pursed his mouth lightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked like he was enjoying it.

"Qingcheng's tea making skills are also extraordinary!" Lu Xiwei was never stingy with his praise.

Wu Qingcheng accepted it as a matter of course, as if it should be so, and his subordinates continued to move in a variety of ways.

"The queen asked you to remove the supporting scene this time. There should be other reasons."

The fifth prince is the queen's legitimate son, so the queen will naturally not easily give up the opportunity to fight for her son, and Lu Xiwei's previous evacuation from the palace had a lot to do with the queen.

Wu Qingcheng originally wanted to hint a few words to remind Empress Lu Xiwei of her malicious intentions, but seeing Lu Xiwei's clean appearance, Wu Qingcheng swallowed the next words.

Soon, all the way was unimpeded, and they arrived at the main entrance of Sheng'an Palace. In front of the palace gate, all kinds of carriages and sedan chairs were parked on both sides of the road, extending straight for hundreds of meters.

From time to time, those who came out of the carriage or the brocade sedan chair were all famous ladies and young talents from various families. It was even more crowded than the last concubine selection time, and the front of the palace gate was bustling like never before.

Lu Xiwei's carriage slowly approached, and all the people from all walks of life consciously retreated to the side. For a while, the originally noisy palace gate became quiet, and everyone's eyes stayed on the not-so-luxurious, but definitely among the crowd of carriages. For the one-of-a-kind carriage, it is not an exaggeration to say that the person sitting in the carriage is the Son of God.

Wu Qingcheng got out of the carriage first, lifted the curtain, stretched out his hand to help Lu Xiwei get off the carriage, lowered his brows, bowed his knees, and tried his best to be his slave, and everyone bowed down to salute.

Lu Xiwei didn't look sideways, with a natural demeanor, a certain degree of intimacy, and between relaxation and relaxation, he neither seemed too close nor too distant. Obviously, Lu Xiwei was used to such scenes.

And Wu Qingcheng has nothing to do with these eyes that don't stay on him, he can even absorb the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of fans, he feels nothing about these, he just focuses on Lu Xiwei, a cautious appearance.

After entering the palace, someone from the palace brought Lu Xiwei to greet the queen, Ling Xiao also appeared at the right time, and walked with Lu Xiwei.

After the palace people reported, Lu Xiwei and his party entered the palace to pay a visit. At this time, the emperor was there, and the fifth prince was standing beside him. The family of three looked happy, but Lu Xiwei's arrival seemed a bit out of place, but Lu Xiwei was not at all. Unconsciously, meeting and saluting greetings, a set of procedures is down, very smooth.

The Empress appeared to be very enthusiastic, pulling Lu Xiwei to talk about homework, and the third prince was also making fun of it, while Ling Xiao was asking and answering with the emperor, as if discussing matters with him.

Wu Qingcheng was at the bottom, and he had a clear view of everyone. This was the first time Wu Qingcheng saw the fifth prince. Although the fifth prince was ranked behind the fifth prince, the difference between the two was only less than one year, and there was no distinction between the elder and the younger from their faces. , on the contrary, the third prince's facial features followed the queen's, his skin was fairer, a little more delicate, and it was not annoying to meet for the first time.

The fifth prince's personality is also more lively and outgoing. Just now, the third prince has already pampered the queen twice. That sweet voice made Wu Qingcheng's goosebumps come out, and only Lu Xiwei looked displeased. The appearance of being moved, he answered and answered with the queen, advancing and retreating in a moderate manner, and he couldn't find a single fault, but because the answer was so good, he seemed to be indifferent.

The empress is still dealing with Lu Xiwei, and she handles it with ease.

Wu Qingcheng, who was waiting at the bottom, was called out by a maid in high-grade palace clothes. It turned out that there was still some time before the lotus banquet. As Lu Xiwei's personal attendant, Wu Qingcheng was arranged to prepare Lu Xiwei's spare clothes for the lotus feast, and some small items such as sachets and buckles, to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Before entering the palace, Wu Qingcheng had already prepared most of them, and they could bring them back after the palace staff inspected them. This place is either a court lady or a eunuch, so Wu Qingcheng's appearance is naturally very conspicuous.

Wu Qingcheng pretended not to see the shy and timid eyes of the little maid and the probing eyes of the little eunuch, but just lowered his head and focused on the road under his feet.

The slightly older court lady who led the way did not have the business-like face she had just started, and took the initiative to chat with Wu Qingcheng: "I have stayed in the palace for a long time, except for the two princes, I rarely see men. Today is the lotus feast. It's rare for them to see the Son of God, and some of them haven't even seen you, so the little maids are naturally curious when they see you, so please don't mind this little brother."

Wu Qingcheng smiled and shook his head, looking innocent: "I know, sister, don't worry."

Seeing what Wu Qingcheng said was true, the elderly court lady looked at her with admiration. This man was highly valued in front of the Son of God. Since he was so airless, he did not show any contempt.

"You can just call me Hanyue. In fact, I'm not much older than you. It's always awkward to call me sister."

Hanyue said with a slightly red face, seeing that Wu Qingcheng was not as arrogant as she imagined, Hanyue also let go of her courage. In fact, she herself had stayed in the palace for nearly ten years, and she rarely talked to men. Wu Qingcheng, the waiter, couldn't help but want to have a good conversation. She almost forgot the normal way of communicating with men, which has nothing to do with Fengyue.

"Sister Hanyue." Wu Qingcheng called out obediently, and it occurred to him that the girl seemed not to want to be called old, so he changed his words.

Hanyue blushed again, although she didn't know Wu Qingcheng's age, but she shouldn't be older than herself, Hanyue was embarrassed, the way this man and woman spoke was indeed different.

Wu Qingcheng interpreted the blush on Hanyue's face as pleasure, and thought he had changed his words to the right, quite complacent.

"You... I should be older than you. I'm embarrassed to call you sister."

The two didn't struggle with addressing for too long, Hanyue asked about the situation outside the palace, and only then did she know that so many changes had taken place in the streets and alleys, she was afraid that she would not know the way home after leaving the palace.

During the walk, the two chatted very happily, Hanyue's unyielding temperament was not annoying at all, but the occasional nostalgia that appeared moved people.

Before he knew it, he had already arrived at the Royal Garden, a place full of exotic flowers and grasses. Wu Qingcheng took a second look unconsciously, and Hanyue was also enthusiastically helping to explain the few famous products he knew.

Suddenly, the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the road ahead brought the conversation between the two of them to an abrupt end.

"It should be Princess Nine who is practicing dancing. Princess Nine is a bit arrogant, you and I should be more careful."

Hanyue explained softly to Wu Qingcheng, after saying this sentence, she regained her image of a well-behaved maid and continued to move forward.

Wu Qingcheng nodded to express his understanding, followed behind Hanyue, and sure enough, Wu Qingcheng caught a glimpse from the corner of his eyes, a few feet away, dozens of maids in colorful clothes, each holding a woman in the middle, dancing gracefully, with flowing sleeves and soft waist, and a light gauze floating around The still blooming flower bone is depicted vividly, what a beautiful scene!

No matter how beautiful the beautiful scenery is, as Wu Qingcheng and Hanyue, they cannot watch it openly. If you want to salute, you should bow your head and walk sideways, trying not to attract too much attention.

Maybe he really complied with that sentence, what he was afraid of, when Hanyue passed by the group of dancing girls holding the tray in both hands, someone stepped on the hem of whose clothes, and they all spun at high speed with their toes on their toes , this time the center of gravity was unstable, and the sounds of "ah" kept coming one after another, but there happened to be a woman's body bumping straight towards Hanyue.

Faced with this sudden change, Hanyue was stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment. The most important thing in the palace is to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Hanyue also forgot to shout, and the tray in her hand was knocked out by a powerful force from outside. Subconsciously wanted to protect the things in his hands, but only the end of his fingertips touched a little, it was too late!That's the outfit of a queen!

Among them is a tourmaline buckle that was recently made by Si Baosi to match the phoenix robe. It was just taken from Si Baosi, and there is also a gold silk sachet with him, which are fragile and deformable. Such a fall, the consequences are unimaginable!
