Chapter 62 Upgrade
"Sister Zijin!"
As soon as Su Zijin sat down, he heard a familiar voice, followed by a burning gaze.
Su Zijin looked over, and the voice was naturally that of Xue Baozhu. She was still sitting near the end, but she was not alone like last time. This time she had many companions following her, and the smile on her face became brighter.
The scorching gazes that followed were indeed the gazes of Jia Wenxin, Guo Yixuan and others not far from Su Zijin. They stared at Su Zijin as if she was guilty of a heinous crime because she had something to do with Xue Baozhu.
Su Zijin usually doesn't like to go out, but now he has become the center of the whirlpool.
"Sister Zijin, come quickly, I will introduce you to some ladies from all over the world!"
At this time, the banquet has not started, the Queen has not arrived yet, and everyone is talking to those close to them. At this time, Xue Baozhu is greeting people like this. Although his voice is loud, it is not out of place in the lively environment.
Su Zijin was too lazy to join the two teams. He just sat in his seat, poured a cup of tea for his mother and himself, and slowly drank the tea.
"Baozhu, that Su Zijin doesn't seem to pay much attention to us. Didn't you say that you have a good relationship with her?"
Said an official lady next to Xue Baozhu.
Xue Baozhu smiled calmly, "Sister Zijin has always been like this. She is young, thin-skinned, taciturn and unsociable. You don't know that she was like this when she was in Shu County two years ago, and she got into trouble because of it.
, she was almost murdered by the steward below, but it was my eldest brother and I who passed by and saved her."
…
Su Zijin had no idea what kind of person he was in Xue Baozhu's mouth, and he was talking to his mother at this time.
"I see something is wrong with Miss Jia's eyes. Please don't wander around tonight, just stay by my side."
"Yes, mother."
She just doesn't like to see the artificial beauty in this palace, Su Zijin thought.
"The Queen is here!"
Xiaohuangmen shouted, and the palace banquet officially began.
The maids danced gracefully, and Su Zijin watched mesmerized.
When he was a child, when he watched Journey to the West, Su Zijin liked the fairy Gong'e dancing in front of the Jade Emperor. Now when he saw it up close, he realized why he watched the Jade Emperor every time he appeared. It was really pleasing to the eye.
"Miss Su, the fourth prince is waiting for you at the Huxin Pavilion."
Suddenly, a little palace maid approached Su Zijin and said.
Su Zijin broke away from the dance and glanced at the little palace maid.
Wearing a green palace maid uniform, her head is lowered, and her expression cannot be distinguished.
"Did the Fourth Prince ask you to come?"
"yes."
The palace man's head lowered lower and lower.
"It is a capital crime to falsely convey an imperial edict, but what crime is falsely conveying an imperial edict?"
The young palace servant dared not raise his head more and more, and only whispered in a trembling voice, "I don't dare, this slave is really the fourth prince..."
Su Zijin thought for a moment, then stood up and leaned into his mother's ear, "Mom, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Mrs. Chang glanced at her daughter and said, "I told you that I won't let you mess around." After saying that, seeing Su Zijin's firm expression, she raised her chin and said, "Go ahead."
Su Zijin then followed the little palace maid out.
"how much longer?"
Su Zijin asked the little palace maid in front who always lowered her head.
"It's right in front."
After hearing this, Su Zijin took out the soft whip from his sleeve. He wanted to tie up the palace maid when she led her to the place, and watch her play tricks. Unexpectedly, the next second, the little palace maid came in a hurry, and then
He ran away. Before Su Zijin could catch up with the little palace maid, he heard a splash. It turned out that there was a pavilion in the middle of the lake in front of him. There was a person on the pavilion. He was suddenly pushed into the water. Su Zijin saw the dark shadow of a little palace maid of the same style.
He trotted away but had no way to chase him. He had to rush to the place where he fell into the water and use his long whip to roll him up.
"Su Zijin?"
Before Su Zijin could clearly see the man who fell into the water, the man saw Su Zijin clearly first.
"Who are you?"
"Ji Yinglan."
Oh~, Su Zijin nodded, she still remembers this person.
"Aren't you with Xue Baozhu..."
"She was the one who asked me to come here. Maybe I didn't attend any of the literary gatherings she held recently, so she wanted to teach me this lesson."
Ji Yinglan brushed away the lake-stained hair from her face, revealing a slightly blue face.
The Mid-Autumn Festival night is as cold as water, Ji Yinglan should be very cold at this time.
Su Zijin looked at her body. She never liked wearing cloaks. At this time, she could only help her go to the palace.
"Miss Su, wait!"
Ji Yinglan stopped Su Zijin from getting closer and said, "Don't let the water on my body stick to you. Xue Baozhu seems heartless, but in fact she is narrow-minded. If she dares to do anything in the palace today, she must not be...
If you push me into the water so simply, you will definitely have a back-up plan."
Su Zijin took a step forward, held Ji Yinglan's arm, and smiled in her surprised eyes, "No matter what her purpose is, if something involves me, I will not spoil her."
Before Ji Yinglan had walked far, Cui Lingchuan's figure appeared in the corridor leading to the Huxin Pavilion.
"Master Cui?"
"Miss Su, are you okay? My roommate came to me just now and told me that you and Miss Ji had a dispute and both of you fell into the water after being pushed..."
Cui Lingchuan saw that Su Zijin was wearing a narrow-sleeved goose-yellow brocade robe. Under the moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it looked like the warm moon.
Realizing that he had been deceived by his younger sister, Cui Lingchuan no longer sounded anxious, but handed the cloak he was holding to Su Zijin and asked slowly, "What's going on?"
Su Zijin put the cloak on Ji Yinglan and turned to look at Cui Lingchuan, "Mr. Cui, your younger sister should be the one who knows the most right now."
Cui Lingchuan was just surprised for a moment, seeing that Su Zijin was dry all over, and it was far different from what his little sister said about falling into the water and calling for help. Comparing the two, he naturally knew who was lying. At that moment, Cui Lingchuan cupped his fists and apologized, "Miss Su
, Miss Ji, your sister is young and ignorant, and I am afraid she was deceived by others. Tomorrow, I will personally bring my roommate to the house to plead guilty."
Regarding the family, Su Zijin didn't want to say anything even if he was young and ignorant. Ji Yinglan had a cloak at this time, wrapped it tightly and looked at Su Zijin, "Miss Su, thank you for your help tonight, I will
I have left the palace, and there are clothes to change on the carriage. When you return to the banquet, please tell my mother that I will wait for her in the carriage at the palace gate. Mr. Cui, I will return the cloak another day."
With that said, Ji Yinglan was about to go deeper into the Royal Garden, but Su Zijin naturally used his wrist to pull her back.
"Miss Ji, it's not far, so I'd better send you off, otherwise I won't worry."
"Miss Su, no need. This place is not far from the palace entrance. I can just go back by myself."
Ji Yinglan said she wanted to leave, but she couldn't break away from Su Zijin's wrist. When she thought of Su Zijin saving her, although she was panicked, she felt Su Zijin's sharp whip and easily rolled her up.
After being rescued, he had to stop struggling and looked at Su Zijin with a wry smile, "Miss Su, then I'll trouble Miss Su."
