I suddenly remembered that when I assassinated Xia Yan, it seemed that it was also on a thunderstorm day.
When I thought about it, I understood everything.
After grasping this key point, I suddenly became enlightened!
Strange to say, there was lightning and thunder last night, but today the sun is shining brightly!
There was still some distance to go to the theater, so I was looking around with nothing to do. Suddenly, not far from me, I saw a group of people with their heads lowered slowly walking out of Dongzhimen, as if they were leaving the palace!
I called Xiao Junzi: "Who are those people?"
Xiao Junzi said: "These are all people who are going to die, but they are lucky enough to meet the King on his birthday, and the King has already issued an order to pardon them!"
I said oh.
The emperor's birthday is called the Wanshou Festival. On this day, people are not allowed to mourn, they are not allowed to wear plain clothes, pardons are issued in the court, and no blood is seen.
I suddenly realized, no wonder Xia Yan said he would not kill me, it turned out to be this reason.
This gave me a little peace of mind. At least I would be safe within three days. I restrained myself from thinking about what would happen in three days.
Soon after passing Dongzhimen, we arrived at the most lively place in the palace today - Gouyue Platform.
To be precise, Gouyue Platform is an open space. On weekdays when there are no festivals, this is where the princes and grandsons practice martial arts. There are axes, axes, hooks, forks, knives, guns, swords and halberds. Once there are festivals, this place is used as a show.
The open space on the platform.
I heard the sound of gongs and drums from a distance, accompanied by a series of cheers. All the high-ranking concubines in the palace were there, and everyone's attention was focused on the stage, so my lateness did not attract anyone's attention.
.
Xiao Junzi led me to the highest point of the stage. When Xia Yan saw me coming, he stretched out his hand with a smile: "Here we come!"
I hummed and folded my hands with his.
There was a gaze following me to my left, but I didn't dare to turn my head to look. Xia Yan pulled me to his side with a little force, pointed to the empty seat on the right and said, "Sit there!"
After sitting down, Concubine Xian looked intently at the opera singers on the stage, but she spoke to me: "My sister is really lucky. The King loves her especially when she is pregnant. The other sisters get up at five o'clock to clean up. My sister
But he slept until noon!"
Xia Yan was concentrating on watching the play, but I knew that he heard the reproachful words, but he didn't say a word.
I had no choice but to explain myself: "There was thunder last night and I didn't go to bed until the fourth watch! Your Majesty was considerate of my concubines and didn't let them wake me!"
"Hahaha - OK, OK!" The wonderful performance on the stage won everyone's praise, and the repeated cheers overshadowed my explanation.
When Concubine Xian thought I ignored her, her face became angry and she glared at me fiercely!
In fact, whether she is angry or not, it has nothing to do with me. From the beginning to now, I have never regarded myself as a member of Xia Kingdom's harem, so naturally I don't think about how to live my life in the future! Therefore,
Just let it go.
After singing for most of the day, during a break, a majestic general stood up and said: "King Xia, I have always heard that Grand Master Pang of the Xia Kingdom is both civil and military. I admire him very much. I wonder if we will be lucky enough to see him today?"
Envoys from various countries gathered here, and the person speaking was from Yan State, because only Yan State in the whole place dared to speak to Xia Yan like this.
"General, just say what you want to say!" Xia Yan looked over lazily while holding the wine glass.
"The general would like to discuss cavalry and archery with Taishi Pang!" the general said loudly!
