Chapter 360: The Battle of the Birthday Banquet! 2
Birthday banquet battle!(2)
Leng Ning was secretly wondering when a bent eunuch came to her table and placed a plate of cleanly washed lychees with water droplets in front of Tianci, "Mother Xue Fei, this is from
Try the fresh lychees brought by fast horses thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River!"
Hearing his voice, Leng Ning turned around quickly and saw the seemingly unfamiliar eunuch blinking at her quietly. Although the face was unfamiliar, the eyes were slender and dark, very familiar.
Leng Ning recognized him as Ji Qingchen, and smiled reservedly, "I've heard about the delicious lychees for a long time, so I came to try them!"
She stretched out her fingers and picked up a lychee following Ji Qingchen's gaze. When Ji Qingchen saw it, he immediately left the hall. Leng Ning knew that there must be an article in the lychee, so he quietly hid at the table and broke it gently. Sure enough,
, the skin of the lychee was immediately separated, and there was no pulp. What was exposed was just a square note with a few small characters written on it: Qingsong is behind Shen, and everyone in the palace is in place.
No wonder the general looked so respectful to her. He turned out to be Xue Qingsong, an old member of the Xue family. Thinking of the secret message she had found in the silver in the Helan Valley, Leng Ning suddenly misunderstood.
Xueqing Songyuan is also an old member of the Xue family. He dared to walk into the palace hall in such a public manner. Thinking about it, he was embarrassed.
Feeling confused, Leng Ning immediately clasped his fingers together, crushed the small note into pieces, and threw it into the small porcelain jar beside the table along with the peel.
She pinched the lychees and peeled them casually, looking around indifferently. Two people immediately looked at her, one of them was a middle-aged flute player wearing the uniform of the Yuyin Department of the Palace in the outer hall opposite.
There was also a curtain-carrying maid wearing a pink palace dress, standing on one side of the gauze curtain.
Leng Ning guessed that there must be someone else, but they were not around her. The forces of the dark palace were around her, which made her feel more at ease.
"Master, please slow down!"
An Fu's voice sounded worried. Leng Ning looked around and saw Jiu'er swaggering in from the outer hall with a smile on his face. There was something bulging in his wide right sleeve.
When the ministers saw this, they all stood up and saluted him, but he pretended not to see it at all and kept shouting, "Brother, I'm here to bring you a gift!"
Behind him, Anfu chased him hurriedly, running until he was out of breath. From the looks of it, he seemed to be running all the way from a very far away place.
