The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous
Chapter 154 Palace Banquet 2
Halfway through the singing and dancing performance, Empress Xie, who was sitting at the top, suddenly leaned close to Emperor Jing beside her and said something.
While Queen Xie was speaking, she glanced at Su Tang from time to time.
Emperor Jing just thought she was looking at the female relatives and didn't think much about it.
Finally, the song ended.
Queen Xie raised her hand, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked up at the platform.
“Today, foreign nations are coming to pay tribute, and our Great Yong Kingdom will also show them our Great Yong’s literary talent.
The unmarried talented men and women present here can show off your talents. "
As Empress Xie finished her words, low murmurings were heard from the ministers and female relatives below.
This situation has happened before. It is a good opportunity for young talents and young women to show their talents in front of the royal family.
Immediately a woman came out from the crowd.
Su Tang took a look and found that it was a familiar face.
The person was wearing a peach pink skirt with exquisite peach blossom patterns embroidered on it. The petals were lifelike, as if there were really peach blossoms blooming on the clothes.
There are many exquisite head ornaments on her head.
"Your humble servant Xie Simin is willing to present a dance."
Empress Xie looked at Xie Simin with a smile, "Okay."
Then Xie Simin walked lightly to the center of the hall, bowed slightly, and began her performance.
Xie Simin nodded to the palace servants who were playing music. As the music sounded, her body began to dance. Her dance moves were graceful and moving, like a fluttering butterfly.
Su Tang looked towards the palace servants who were playing music. Xie Simin must have known in advance that there would be a performance today, so she had already communicated with the musicians in the palace.
Otherwise the music played by the musicians would not be able to keep pace with her dance.
When Xie Simin stopped dancing, the music in the hall also stopped.
"I am sorry to present my humble service." A thin layer of sweat appeared on Xie Simin's forehead. Some of her hair stuck to her face, and her rosy complexion gave her a hint of charm.
Queen Xie frowned slightly. She glanced at Emperor Jing and found that he was looking somewhere else. A gentle smile appeared on her face again.
"This dance is very good. I will give you a red coral and gold hairpin."
Xie Simin leaned forward and bowed to Emperor Jing and the others who were sitting on the throne, "Thank you, Queen, for the reward."
After saying that, Xie Simin walked towards her seat.
But when she turned around and saw Su Tang, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
She looked at Su Tang's seat in disbelief. This was where only princesses could sit.
Moreover, Su Tang's position is still the most forward.
This seat was where her cousin, the queen's daughter, Xuanyuan Mengyao, sat in previous palace banquets.
Before she started dancing, she was not so close to Su Tang and the others. She only came forward when she thanked the Queen for the reward.
Xie Simin quickly forgot about the unpleasant experiences she had with Su Tang, and she didn't even ask anyone to inquire about Su Tang's identity.
When he saw Su Tang at this time, he looked like he had seen a ghost.
Xie Simin's action of standing in the hall with her mouth wide open in a daze immediately attracted the attention of others around her.
Some people were discussing quietly, "What happened to Xie Simin? She was dancing so well just now, why does she look like she's been frozen in time?"
A woman at the next table immediately followed suit and whispered, "Look at her, it looks like she has seen something terrible. What else is there for her to be afraid of in this capital?"
"Shh, let's not say that."
"Simin." In the hall, Queen Xie frowned as she looked at the dazed Xie Simin and reminded her.
Rong Mama, who was beside Empress Xie, quickly got down from the platform, walked to Xie Simin and pulled the still dazed Xie Simin down.
No matter what, it is better to pull Xie Simin down first.
There are foreigners present at this palace banquet.
Xie Simin’s incident soon passed, and later other girls from officials’ families spontaneously went to the palace to perform their talents.
After being pulled away by Madam Rong, Xie Simin finally remembered her recent misconduct.
She looked at Rong Mama beside her with some annoyance, "Rong Mama, isn't that where the princesses sit? Why didn't my cousin come today?"
After hearing what Xie Simin said, Rong Mama explained, "The Second Princess was feeling unwell, so the Queen didn't let her out."
"Second, Second Princess?" Xie Simin asked with a frown, puzzled.
"Well, didn't our Majesty recognize a new princess? That princess is older than our Princess Mengyao, so now the seats of the princesses have been moved to the back."
"Why didn't Aunt Queen tell me? What I mean is, my mother didn't tell me about this either." Xie Simin frowned and her eyes drifted towards the seat where Su Tang was sitting.
"Is that the princess His Majesty has just recognized?"
"Yes, His Majesty personally conferred the title of the Grand Princess and also granted her a princess's mansion," explained Aunt Rong.
In fact, it’s not that the Xie family didn’t tell Xie Simin about the fact that Dayong had a new Grand Princess.
But Xie Simin never took these things to heart. In her opinion, there was only one princess in the entire Dayong, her cousin Xuanyuan Mengyao, and she didn't care about the other princesses.
"Look at how sweaty you are. Let your maid follow the palace maids to the side hall to change your clothes." Aunt Rong still had to go upstairs to serve the Queen, so she didn't have so much time to accompany Xie Simin.
She has been with Xie Simin for too long now.
Xie Simin glanced at the figure sitting next to the podium again, then turned and responded to Rong Mama.
Madam Rong called the palace maid over and then went back to the high platform to answer behind Empress Xie.
"She was a little surprised that she didn't see Princess Mengyao just now." Aunt Rong whispered in Queen Xie's ear.
"Well, I didn't expect that this girl could still think of Mengyao at this time. It's worth it that Mengyao treated her well."
However, thinking of Xuanyuan Mengyao, Empress Xie felt a little unhappy. Xuanyuan Mengyao, as her daughter, could not attend such a wonderful palace banquet.
Empress Xie once again glanced at Su Tang who was leisurely watching the performance below, and gave a look to Madam Rong behind her.
Rong Mama was an elder who served Empress Xie, and she immediately understood what Empress Xie meant.
She retreated again in a daze.
Here, Xie Simin went to the side hall to change clothes accompanied by the palace maids and her own servant.
After the palace maid brought them there, she left. At this time, only Xie Simin and her maid were left in the room.
Because it was a palace banquet, each person could not bring too many followers, and women could only bring maids with them.
Sitting in the chair behind the screen, Xie Simin thought about the slightly sarcastic smile Su Tang gave her when she saw her just now.
The handkerchief in her hand was torn to pieces by her.
The maidservant beside her came over with the arranged dress and said, "Miss, let's change into this light yellow dress."
They wore several sets of clothes when entering the palace, for fear of any accidents that might get their clothes dirty again.
As Xie Simin had prepared to dance a long time ago, she even prepared several more sets than the average person.
"Well, come here and go find..." Xie Simin whispered a few words in the maid's ear.
Let’s talk about Su Tang.
Su Tang was watching happily as another noble lady came out to perform her talent.
The guzheng was played very elegantly.
The melodious and clear piano music is sometimes as elegant as the breeze blowing through the willows, and sometimes like colorful butterflies among the flowers, dancing gracefully among them.
Even Su Tang, who doesn't know much about music, could hear the artistic conception in the piano music.
At this time, a palace maid came to Su Tang. She wanted to change the wine pot for Su Tang. The wine in the field was warm, and she had to replace it with a hot pot from time to time.
But for some reason, when the palace maid walked to Su Tang's side with the wine jug, her hand tilted and the whole tray fell over. Fortunately, the palace maid was quick to hold it in place.
Neither the wine jug nor the tray fell to the ground.
But the warm wine in the jug still spilled out.
Fortunately, the drinks were warm and did not burn Su Tang.
But when the wine spilled on Su Tang's palace dress, a large area of foreign color immediately appeared on the rose-red dress.
"Your servant, you didn't mean it." The palace maid immediately knelt down towards Su Tang.
After hitting his head on the ground several times, a large area of it turned red.
Chunmei, who was behind Su Tang, frowned and said, "How can you be so careless!"
"It's okay. Don't you have another set of clothes? Just go and change." Su Tang glanced at the palace maid, "You can go down."
Su Tang waved her hand, signaling the palace maid to leave.
The palace maid kowtowed again in gratitude and then stepped away.
Su Tang raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect such a cliché scene to happen.
The palace maid must have spilled the wine on her on purpose.
Su Tang didn't get angry on the spot, but just wanted to see what plot they were going to arrange next.
Moreover, this should also be related to Queen Xie.
After all, ever since Empress Xie entered the hall, she had glanced at him several times, intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Tang stood up, and Chunmei, who was behind her, followed Su Tang with her cloth bag.
Chunmei was originally brought out of the palace by the second prince, so she is very familiar with the environment in the palace.
They didn't ask a palace maid to lead the way, so Chunmei took Su Tang to the side hall where they changed clothes.
There are quite a few small rooms in the side hall, which should be prepared for the guests attending the banquet.
Chunmei found an empty room and took Su Tang in.
After closing the door, Su Tang glanced at the incense burner in the room.
Su Tang picked up the herbal tea in the house, opened the incense burner, and extinguished the still burning incense.
Chunmei looked at Su Tang's actions, walked to Su Tang and asked in a low voice: "Master, this?"
"It smells like a charm." Su Tang walked to the window and tried to push it open to let in the wind.
But I found that all the windows were locked.
When she and Chunmei came here, they chose rooms randomly.
There was no palace maid to lead the way.
It seems that every empty room here is filled with incense.
Oh, it really took a big step to deal with her.
"How could this be in the palace?!" Chunmei originally came from the palace.
There are many dirty things in the palace, but no one dares to do anything seductive in the palace.
This kind of thing is forbidden to be used in the palace. After all, lighting aphrodisiac incense in the palace will cause trouble in the harem.
"Hey, you are still too young. If you can't do it, how can others do the same as you?" Su Tang walked to the door again and tried to push it.
Sure enough, the door was also locked.
"Master." Chunmei also realized it at this time. She had some kung fu skills, so she didn't hear someone outside locking the room they were in.
Sure enough, the person who dealt with the master was not a simple person.
Su Tang didn't care much about it, she just didn't like the sticky smell of the fragrance.
Su Tang took out two detoxification pills and handed one to Chunmei, "Take it."
Chunmei didn't know what Su Tang gave her, but she took it obediently immediately.
Su Tang also took one, and her head, which had been a little dizzy just now, immediately became clear again.
"Let's change our clothes first."
The palace dress sent by Emperor Jing was too complicated, and it was a bit inconvenient for Su Tang to wear it alone.
Since she had been locked up anyway, Su Tang planned to change her clothes first.
With Chunmei's help, Su Tang quickly changed into the goose yellow dress.
"But how do we get out now?" Chunmei helped Su Tang change her clothes and tried to push the doors and windows.
"What's behind this?" Su Tang asked, pointing at the window.
"It's just a small garden. On the other side of the garden is the palace road to the inner palace."
"Then I'll take you out of here. You can find a way to get back to the main hall and wait for me there."
"What about the master?" Chunmei asked worriedly.
"I want to see what they are going to do. If there is chaos here later, you go find Madam Qi and bring her here with you." Su Tang instructed.
"Okay." Chunmei immediately responded when she saw Su Tang had something to think about.
The two walked to the window, and Su Tang took out a sharp dagger from her body, and then slashed the wooden window frame a few times.
Chunmei...Why did the master enter the palace with a sharp weapon?
She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, but she would not interfere with what her master did.
Su Tang actually took down the window frame in just a few moves. She held the frame and opened half of the window.
Chunmei and Sutang jumped out of the window one after another.
After Chunmei left, Su Tang fiddled with the window frame for a few times and then half-closed the window.
This was also due to the fact that when the Su family was building the valley before, Su Tang had carefully watched the carpentry work of Master Zheng and his team.
Seeing that Su Tang paid a lot of money for little work, the carpenter was very kind to Su Tang as his employer.
He actually told Su Tang about the carpentry work that was never told to others.
Su Tang just used the dagger to find the removable position on the window frame.
After Su Tang left the house, she used the infrared eyepiece to quickly find Xie Simin who was still changing clothes nearby.
The person who plotted against her must be related to Queen Xie, so let Xie Simin pay some interest on behalf of Queen Xie first.
Su Tang really wanted to see Queen Xie’s expression afterwards.
The window of Xie Simin's room was open. Su Tang pushed it open a little and blew some sleeping pills in.
Soon, Xie Simin in the room fell on the chair and didn't move.
Xie Simin was the only one in the room. Su Tang took the unconscious Xie Simin into the space and then returned to the room where she had just changed clothes.
Su Tang hung the handkerchief in Xie Simin's hand on Xie Simin's face, and then placed her on the soft couch in the room.
After finishing these, she planned to leave along the same route.
But before leaving, she added some stronger scent to the incense burner in the room.
Su Tang jumped out of the window again and restored the window.
She also found a veil and put it on herself, then walked to the front of the side hall.
Here, Xie Simin smelled a sweet fragrance while she was unconscious.
At first, she felt light and comfortable.
But after a while, the comfortable feeling gradually disappeared, replaced by a tingling feeling, and my body felt hot, and I really wanted to find something cool to hug.
