Spring Forest Evening

It's a pity that before he got to the emperor's side, he was stopped by the imperial guards. To be precise, only a few maids who accompanied him were stopped by the imperial guards, but the Huguo Gong, his wife and others were let go smoothly.

Zhou Heng felt a little regretful, it seemed that he was destined not to see what the emperor looked like, and the pavilion was covered by light gauze, so he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know whether Shen Fu was inside or not.

But looking at the colleagues next to him, the servant girls all looked calm, and there were two people who seemed to be old acquaintances, and they slowly moved closer together and chatted softly. It seems that they are used to this kind of situation So Zhou Heng simply imitated their appearance and waited calmly.

After waiting for a while, I realized that there must have been nothing before, and the sound of the flute at this time was as loud as close at hand. I turned my head and looked at it, only to find that not far away was the big painting boat. And the sound of the flute turned out to be from a beautiful woman with fluttering robes on the boat.

Now that we are getting closer, we can see the beauty clearly. The beauty is standing on the deck in front of the boat, wearing a pink dress that flutters in the cool night breeze. Seductive.

What's interesting is that Zhou Heng listened to the soft conversation of the two servant girls next to him and realized that there was actually a rabbit at the feet of the flute beauty.

The boring waiting suddenly became interesting, so Zhou Heng continued to listen to the two maids' conversation with his ears up. Only after hearing this did he realize that although the pavilion where the emperor was was surrounded by light gauze, it was difficult to see clearly. , but it is said that there is no side facing the water surface of Taiye Pool. In this way, the emperor can safely eat while enjoying the feeling of the beauty floating on the side. Hehe, it seems that when the emperor Really good!

The tone of the two maids was also full of admiration and envy for the royal style. For this reason, they whispered together that a soldier of the Imperial Guard around him was quite Wu Gang's spirit. Zhou Heng shook his head secretly in his heart:

Girls, Chang'e doesn't necessarily have to have Wu Gang, especially tonight, when there is no Wu Gang to chop the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, but maybe there will be a group of Wu Gang to chop the bottom of the boat, it's still extremely ferocious...

"Oh, look, it's Prince Jing! It's Prince Jing!" Zhou Heng was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the two gossiping little maids let out a very excited whisper, and quickly raised his head to look.

Sure enough, after seeing Shen Fu's figure walking slowly from not far away, Zhou Heng's spirits lifted immediately, and he almost couldn't help but want to wave to him to let him see him. Fortunately, Shen Fu seemed to have something Sensing, her footsteps paused, and she actually walked towards them slowly.

The excited voices of the two maidservants were deliberately suppressed next to his ears, reminiscent of the little star fans in the 21st century. Zhou Heng felt secretly refreshed at the moment. To think that he even came out on purpose!

For a while, Zhou Heng's eyes couldn't help but kept looking towards Shen Fu, but on the surface he tried to put on a calm look, in the eyes of others, he was no different from the other maids.

Shen Fu naturally found an excuse to come out after seeing Duke Hu Guo and his wife go in, just to catch Zhou Heng's eyes, and for this reason, he tried his best to endure the whispering and peeping of the servant girls beside them. After passing by, Zhuangruo glanced unintentionally at Zhou Heng who was standing a little far away, saw her raise her head and smiled at herself, then stood up again, and slowly walked back with her hands behind her back.

The Huguogong and his wife also came out soon, and greeted Shen Fu on the way. The Huguogong's wife seemed a little surprised, so when she came to Zhou Heng's side, she looked up and down again, and then her tone was listening. Some unkindly asked:

"The prince came to see you?"

Seeing Zhou Heng shook his head, the expression on his face softened again, and he said:

"Let's go then!"

Zhou Heng followed her silently again, and the three of them walked back to their original places and sat down again.

To Zhou Heng's surprise, this time, when the lady next to her who had been talking to her went to the next door to toast somewhere, the lady protector quickly grabbed a handful of red dates from the plate on the table, Stretched back without looking back.

Looking at the light of the lantern next to her, Zhou Heng could see clearly that she was indeed hungry at the moment, so she took it quickly and without any politeness, and then slowly began to eat her food one by one with the wide sleeves. Put it in your mouth.

Speaking of it, this ancient sleeve is usually not very convenient, but now it is very beneficial, not to mention covering the water inside, and no one can see the handful of red dates in his hand.

For some reason, Mrs. Hu Guogong brought a piece of mung bean cake after grabbing a handful of red dates, which made Zhou Heng surprised and amused.

But the mung bean cake was his favorite, and it seemed like this was the only way to pass up today's dinner, so Zhou Heng quickly took it again, put it in his mouth and swallowed it slowly.

The mung bean cake was very small, and one piece was finished. Zhou Heng was greedy for its taste, and licked his lips feeling that it was meaningless. Fortunately, Mrs. Hu Guogong seemed to know what she was thinking, and then handed over another piece.

In this way, two pieces of small mung bean cakes were passed on, and a few more grapes were taken. Mrs. Huguogong wanted to make persistent efforts, but it was a pity that the lady next to her came back, so she had to give up.

But after eating so much, and the weather is still hot, Zhou Heng felt that his dinner was almost ready.

After that, the two wives met and chatted quietly for a while, and people came in from outside to toast one after another. Zhou Heng saw that the rank of Mrs. Hu Guogong was still relatively high, so besides going to the emperor to toast, it was Someone else came to toast her.

All of a sudden, there were all kinds of unintentional courtesies, and there was a wave of toasting, and there was a wave from time to time. This lasted for almost half an hour, and it was very lively.

During this time, the moon gradually rose, against the slightly rippling water surface of Taiye Pool, and listening to the flute sound from the painting boat, thinking about the look in the eyes of the person I saw just now , Zhou Heng couldn't help smiling slightly, thankful in his heart for his decision to enter the palace:

Such a beautiful day, the Mid-Autumn Festival, at least the two of us spent together.

However, this happiness was then interrupted:

The loud voice just now sounded again, and Zhou Heng understood it this time—

The royal sacrifice is about to begin.

The sound of the flute stopped, and the people who were toasting and chatting with each other also put down their wine glasses and chopsticks, got up and walked to the Taiye Pool.

Afterwards, everyone knelt down by the water in unison. Zhou Heng quietly raised his eyes to take a look. This time, he could see clearly that someone was walking to the painting boat one by one. A group of people and two rows of lanterns seemed to be men.

"God bless, Ah Fu doesn't have to go on the boat!" Zhou Heng prayed silently in his heart.
