Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 165

"My lord, please have some tea." As she spoke, she put the steaming cup of tea on Jiao Jingyao's right hand.

"Miss." After Ziyan put the teacup in Su Mei's hand, she stood behind Su Mei.

Su Mei picked up the water glass at hand and took a sip.

Jiao Jingyao smiled faintly, and took a sip from the water glass.

Just before Jiao Jingyao put down the teacup in his hand, Su Mei said, "Brother, can my younger sister not go to the banquet tonight?"

"Not going?" Jiao Jingyao put down the water glass and asked.

"Well, me." Su Mei hesitated, not knowing what to say, she always had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, as if something would happen at the banquet, and at first she agreed to Jiao Jingyao to enter the palace, but she didn't know what to say beforehand. She didn't know that envoys from other four countries were also present at the banquet, and she had met those princes and grandchildren when she was in Longyu Kingdom.

Seeing his worried expression, Jiao Jingyao couldn't help but nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, since the younger sister doesn't want to go, then the eldest brother will not force it."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"But the emperor's side..." Su Mei was a little worried, because even if she didn't enter the palace this time, an imperial decree from Dijiao Kingdom's emperor would call her into the palace.

"Father, you don't have to worry, I will take care of it myself." Jiao Jingyao said confidently.

"Well, thank you, brother." Su Mei said with a light smile.

"My brother and sister, you don't have to be so polite." In fact, even if Su Mei didn't say anything today, Jiao Jingyao would find a way to prevent Su Mei from attending the banquet tonight, because not only Su Mei was uneasy, but he was also uneasy. The feeling is also getting stronger.

Jiao Jingyao looked at Su Mei with a smile, and said softly, "Little sister, since you are not going to the banquet tonight, staying in the palace will be very boring, why don't you send someone to take you back home?"

"Alright." Su Mei thought for a moment, then nodded in response.

Jiao Jingyao got up and shouted to the guard outside the door: "Ling Yun!"

As soon as Jiao Jingyao finished speaking, he saw a man in Tsing Yi dressed as a guard striding in.

I saw his eyes looking straight ahead without squinting, as if there was only Jiao Jingyao left in the world, his slightly cold eyes were full of respect for Jiao Jingyao.

Ling Yun stepped forward, saluted respectfully and said, "My lord."

"Well, get up, prepare an ordinary carriage, and escort the princess back to the mansion."

"Yes." Ling Yun said and walked quickly to the door.

But with half a stick of incense, an unremarkable carriage appeared at the back door of Qingyu Hall.

"My lord, the car is ready and parked at the back door." Ling Yun stepped into the hall again and said respectfully.

"Yeah." Jiao Jingyao nodded, then looked at Su Mei with a smile: "Little sister, it's getting late, why don't you go back now."

"Okay, I will follow the arrangements of my elder brother." Su Mei knew that this was the time to be conspicuous, so she had to be careful.

After Su Mei got into the carriage, Jiao Jingyao gave Ling Yun some instructions in a low voice, and then Su Mei felt the carriage move forward slowly.

She couldn't help raising the corner of the car curtain, and looked back at Jiao Jingyao, only to see that he was also looking at her, she was taken aback for a moment, then showed a cute smile on her face, and waved to Jiao Jingyao.

As the saying goes, the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, but today, on the night of the fifteenth day, the bright moon in the sky is extraordinarily round.

Su Mei came to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard alone, looked up at the night sky, but the night sky at this time seemed to be a pool of clear water, and the stars around it were like fish in the water, although they were not It moves, but it seems to be swimming in water.

"Miss." Zi Yan said as she walked over and put the coat in her hand on Su Mei's shoulders.

Su Mei felt the warmth from her shoulders, and realized that before she knew it, it was already late at night.

She turned her head and smiled softly at Zi Yan, saying: "Zi Yan, sit with me for a while."

"Okay." Zi Yan nodded. She has known Su Mei for so long, and this is the first time she has seen a trace of tenderness in Su Mei's eyes. Usually, there are smiles in her eyes, but those smiles are like floating. She is like Ping, just floating lightly on the water, not reaching the eyes at all, and it also looks a bit indifferent, but today it is different, that smile makes people feel warm in the heart.

"Miss, you have been sitting here for a long time. This servant is fascinated to see you looking up at the sky, but there is nothing attractive in this sky except for the stars and the moon!" Zi Yan With a puzzled face, she followed Su Mei's example and raised her head to look at the night sky.

Su Mei smiled lightly and said, "The night sky is naturally the same, the difference is time and space."

"Time and space?" Zi Yan looked at her suspiciously.

Su Mei knew that if she told her, she wouldn't understand, so she simply said, "Lu Cong is white tonight, and the moon is the light in my hometown."

Ziyan repeated in a low voice what Su Mei said just now, after chewing carefully, she suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, I understand, Miss, you must be homesick!" She laughed out loud.

Su Mei smiled lightly when she heard the words, and did not explain anything.She knew that Zi Yan would not understand her feelings, what should a soul wandering in another world do to live a real life?She doesn't know, but she doesn't want to know, she always thinks that there will be a way ahead, those souls who died unjustly will be rehabilitated, and those so-called hatred will be rewarded, but, at that time, I will be really happy ?

Ziyan has never seen Su Mei's expression like this before, the silence that is hesitating to speak, the depression that seems to be a smile but not a smile, the entanglement between hating and not hating, and the vague daze, all make Ziyan feel that tonight Su Mei was very strange, and she couldn't help imitating Su Mei, looking up to the sky again, looking thoughtfully at the stars in the night sky.

Su Mei didn't speak anymore, but tightened her shawl and stood up, only to hear her say lightly: "It's getting late, let's rest early."

When Ziyan realized, Su Mei had already walked into the house, only the low sound of closing the door echoed in the empty yard.

Dijiao Country, the Imperial Palace.

The bright moon shines in the sky in front of the house, the shadow of the moon dances horizontally, the shadows move, the sound of the jade hall on the towers and terraces is heard, and the wine is the most intoxicating.

At this moment, in the huge Yuming Palace, the sound of clinking glasses, the sound of silk strings, and the sound of words, can be heard incessantly. You have a cup, I have a cup, and the sound of clinking glasses is constantly echoing in this hall, making the melodious and crisp The sound of the piano was overwhelmed.

I don't know if it was late at night or because of other reasons, the emperor of Dijiao Kingdom, Jiao Jincheng, and his queen had already left the seat, and the seat that was vacant at the same time, and the seat of King Shang Junyuan of Shanghuang Kingdom, not long after the empress left, He also left quietly.

County Palace.

Su Mei returned to the room, but she tossed and turned and could not sleep peacefully. For some reason, she always felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.

But at this moment, Zi Yan's slight snoring sound came from the outer room.

Su Mei smiled helplessly, she was so generous and fat, she would sleep until dawn when she touched the pillow.

Suddenly, slight footsteps came from outside the door, which was exceptionally clear in the silent night.

Su Mei immediately listened attentively, but when she went to listen again, there was no movement at all.

About half an hour later, there were footsteps outside the door again, and her body tensed up again.

But this time the footsteps were still the same as last time, they just stopped for a moment and then disappeared.

Su Mei was a little scared. You must know that in such a dark night, in such a big princess mansion, and more importantly, all the people living in this house are women. If there is something wrong, there are not many Resistance, she doesn't want to wait any longer, instead of waiting here, it's better to take the initiative to attack, besides, she is not a woman who is powerless.

Thinking of this, she carefully put on her clothes, picked up the long sword she usually practiced from under the bed, and walked carefully towards the door in three steps.

And just as she walked to the door, under the moonlight, she saw a slender figure, which seemed to be standing in the courtyard with its hands behind its back, with its head raised.

She had some doubts in her heart, so she couldn't help but bent down and looked out through the crack of the door. Even in this dark night, she could still recognize the man standing under the moon. There was no one else except her elder brother.

Strange, it's so late, why is the elder brother standing here?Why didn't the eldest brother return home?
Actions are always one step ahead of thoughts, and before she could figure it out, she opened the door with both hands.

Jiao Jingyao turned around after hearing the words, and the smile on his face froze when he saw it was Su Mei.

"Brother? Why are you here?" Su Mei asked softly.

"I'm a little worried, so I came here to take a look." I don't know if it's alcohol or what, today's Jiao Jingyao didn't hide it anymore, but expressed the truest thoughts in his heart.

Su Mei was taken aback, she didn't expect him to say that, and she was very grateful.

Seeing Su Mei stunned, Jiao Jingyao smiled slightly, and then said: "Now that you are fine, I am relieved, you have a good rest, I will go back first."

However, before Su Mei could react, Jiao Jingyao's figure disappeared into the vast night.

Looking at the swaying tree shadows in the yard because they left, she sighed softly.

But the moment she turned around, another figure appeared in front of her without warning, blocking her way.

Su Mei was startled, and her body trembled a little. No matter who it was, a figure appeared in front of her as soon as she turned around. This kind of visual impact was too shocking to catch people off guard.

The man was in the backlight, and the face could not be seen clearly at all. It could only be judged from the body shape that the man was an adult man.Su Mei's hands hidden under her sleeves couldn't help clenching tightly, ready to attack at any time, secretly hoping that her elder brother could turn back at this time.

"I didn't expect your elder brother to care about you so much." The man said extremely coldly.

Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, the voice seemed so familiar, Su Mei couldn't help frowning slightly.

Su Mei was showing up, so the person clearly saw the change of expression on Su Mei's face, but in the blink of an eye, the person slowly came out from the dark place, just now, Su Mei saw clearly person's appearance.

It's him?How did he come here?Su Mei was full of doubts in her heart, and said mercilessly: "So it's Prince Qi, but does Prince Qi like to break into other people's houses in the middle of the night to scare people?" Su Mei's tone was as cold as his.

Not only was Shang Junyuan not angry, but an almost invisible smile appeared on his face.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, that smile was so illusory that Su Mei thought she was hallucinating.

"Unexpectedly, Princess Xiangrui of Dijiao Kingdom is so eloquent. Seeing him today really opened my eyes, ha ha." Shang Junyuan sneered.

"King Qi, your actions like this have also opened the eyes of this princess. It is ridiculous that a majestic prince would like to break into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night." Su Mei looked at him without showing any weakness. The worry in her eyes just now has disappeared.

"Hehe." Shang Junyuan still sneered.
