Chapter 093 Embroidered Shoes
Go quickly. I think the banquet is going on now. There are many people coming today, so don’t ask them to wait. Jiang Shoggoo ordered.
Hong Yao respectfully accepted the order and carried the lantern out of the courtyard.
Tu'er Mountain is quite far away from Qionghua Island where the banquet is held. All the palace ladies who are doing errands are now staying here, which does not make them collide with noble people.
Hong Yao walked very fast all the way, and in a short while, she left Tu'er Mountain.
At this time, it was already dark, because there were palace servants walking back with lights along the way. Even on the mountain road, they were not afraid of people.
When she reached the intersection, she stopped for a moment and looked north on tiptoe.
Tonight's banquet was held in the largest and most gorgeous Guanghan Hall on Qionghua Island. At this moment, the bright moon is as bright as frost and the lights are bright, and the wind is mixed with faint music. Because it is far away, it is not real to hear it, and it is floating and the fairy sound is also like.
Hong Yao looked at it for a while, then chose the way to walk again. Soon, he arrived at a three-way intersection.
This is where she will work tonight.
Directly north of this intersection is a palace road paved with bluestone. On the left is a forest of sycamore trees, with thick sunlight shading around the ground, and the shadows of the moon are also staggered. Following this road is Yingcui Hall, and Yingcui Hall is the place where the palace people change their clothes tonight.
What Hong Yao needs to do is to guard the intersection. Any palace servant who needs to change clothes will take him here and then lead him to Yingcui Palace.
As for the gravel short path in the east, when you walk to the end of the road, Qiongying Bridge, and when you walk down the bridge and then walk up a section of the road, it is Chengguang Hall.
Chengguang Hall is where the lords sober up tonight. It is also built on a small island and connected with Qionghua Island with a covered bridge. To be detailed, it should be considered as the sub-island of Qionghua Island.
After Hongyao stood still, he memorized the path carefully. He was thinking of breathing a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect two palace servants to come over there. One of them was a small servant who was in charge of sending people here. Behind him was a palace maid from Jingyang Palace. Although Hongyao didn't know its name, she looked familiar.
However, the palace maid's description was a bit embarrassing at the moment. There was a large piece of water stain on her skirt, which looked like tea.
Hong Yao secretly tickled.
This is a whole bowl of tea that is put on the skirt.
It took so long for the banquet to start, something happened now, I really don’t stop.
Sister, I was the one who was tired of helping him. The little servant smiled and brought the palace maid there, and then stepped down.
Hong Yao responded with a smile, led the palace maid to Yingcui Palace to change her clothes, and then took her back. During the whole process, the two of them didn't say a word, and they didn't even touch their eyes.
The palace maid obviously didn't want to say much, and Hong Yao wanted to be a blind man and mute, and she even had a tacit understanding between the two.
Not long after I sent back the palace maid, another little palace maid sprinkled with meat soup. A green skirt made it black and white, and the smell of meat was very fragrant. But she felt very aggrieved, her eyes were swollen, and she wiped her tears and changed her clothes with the red medicine.
Next, there were endless people changing clothes. Red Medicine was busy leading the way back and forth, and was so busy that he was facing the sky. When he looked up again, he realized that the night was getting thicker. At this moment, it was the clear sky and clear light that shone through the world, like a large piece of crystal as he was under his head.
It's really a good month.
Standing at the door of Yingcui Palace, Hong Yao sighed and took out a handkerchief to wipe the forehead and sweated.
This is the ninth one.
Calculate the time to serve the dishes, and the soup, wine, etc. should have been served. I guess I will be more peaceful next.
The red medicine exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked down at the lantern in his hand.
There is only a short piece of the red candle left, and I am afraid it won't last long. Fortunately, the moonlight is very good tonight, and the road is still flat, so I will change the candle in the dark.
Just as he was thinking, the footsteps suddenly sounded, but the people inside had changed their clothes. Hong Yao hurriedly turned around and asked with a smile: Have you changed?
The palace maid was a middle-aged woman about thirty years old and had a pretty appearance. When she heard this, she smiled and nodded: Change it, I'll take your luck.
He is very polite in his attitude.
Hong Yao waved her hand and smiled, and walked in front of the light, and set out on the way.
Unexpectedly, before the two of them took two steps, they suddenly saw one running from afar. Under the moonlight, they saw her flying hair, and they called out: Sister Cao, Sister Cao, hurry up, the master is calling you.
The one who calls the palace servant who is following Hong Yao.
The palace maid surnamed Cao was stunned and then quickly stepped forward to meet the person. The two of them quickly touched their heads, got together and talked quickly and softly for a few words.
Hong Yao stood down from a distance and did not move forward a little step.
If someone has an urgent matter, she can't get over and always ask her to tell others something, right?
At this time, the palace maid surnamed Cao had already spoken to the visitor. When he looked back, his face turned pale and there was a burnt color.
I'm afraid things are not small.
Hong Yao thought to himself, and heard the palace maid surnamed Cao apologize and said: Sorry, we have to go back first. I recognize this one, and you don’t have to give it to you.
Before the sound was over, she and the visitor turned around and left, like a silver moonlight, their clothes were blown by the wind, and they went far away in a moment.
Hong Yao wished she could get farther away from them, so she stood alone for a while. She guessed that they should go back even though they were about to part. Then she slowed down and looked around, as if she was strolling around, but she was guessing what was going on in her heart.
Based on her experience in her previous life, it would be considered good if such a big banquet did not cause any death.
However, she couldn't remember who the palace maid surnamed Cao served.
My thoughts were turning, and suddenly, Hong Yao's eyes darkened, and she suddenly came to her senses, and then she realized that it was the lantern that was extinguished.
She looked up at the sky.
I don’t know when the wind swept thin clouds, and a bright moon shuttled through it, appearing and disappearing.
The wind became stronger. She murmured to herself, looking around and saw a sycamore tree not far away, which could block the wind. So she quickly walked to the tree, put the lantern on the ground, fumbled to untied the cloth bag by her waist, and searched for flints and candles.
The wind was tighter and the moonlight also alternated in depth. She lowered her head slightly, and she could see the shadows of the sycamore leaves reflected on the ground, and large serrated leaves were intertwined, mottled and swaying with the wind. After watching for a long time, it was dazzling.
Hong Yao closed her eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, a pair of shoes appeared among the mottled tree shadows.
A pair of embroidered shoes worn by women.
The upper of the stone green embroidered orchid grass silk is covered with a few stars of mud.
Hong Yao looked at the shoes blankly.
After two breaths, a cool air suddenly rushes from the soles of her feet and her head and neck. Her hand shakes, and the cloth bag falls to the ground, and flints and candles scatter all over the floor.
Almost at the same time, the embroidered shoes suddenly rushed forward, and then a cold hand grabbed Hong Yao's wrist.
Don't call me.
The vague voice sounded like a man or a woman, or a man, or a man. Xu Piaopiao was not strong enough, but was also cold and stern. She screamed that was about to break out of her throat and forced her back.
