Chapter 92 Qi State Hostage, Xuanyuan Yu
God not only favors her son, but also favors her!
No one knew the resentment in the Queen's heart. After the first round of singing and dancing, the guests presented gifts to the Queen Mother one after another. This time, not only the officials, but also the royal children wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with the Queen Mother.
"King Yu presented a jadeite Guanyin!" The chief eunuch read out the gift written on the gift list.
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace maids presented the gifts. The empress dowager was a Buddhist and was very happy to see the expensive and exquisitely crafted jade Guanyin.
Liu Mingyue only picked a decent gift according to the specifications, nothing special about it. After her gift was presented, she left the table on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Just after leaving Qinghe Palace, Liu Mingyue met someone at the corner of the corridor. They both took a step back at the same time. Liu Mingyue raised her eyes and took a look in the candlelight, and unexpectedly found that it was an old friend.
When the other party saw her, he was also a little surprised, but this surprise was, of course, because of the birthmark on her face.
"I'm sorry, I offended you." The girl realized that she was being rude and apologized to Liu Mingyue first.
Liu Mingyue chuckled and shook her head. This woman was actually the one who had competed with Zhou Baili for the head position in Ruyi Pavilion that day.
"No problem." Liu Mingyue's voice was gentle. She had a good impression of this woman. The other party did not recognize her. Neither of them was a noble in the palace, so she just nodded as a greeting.
The other party returned the greeting and left. Liu Mingyue did not take their encounter to heart and went to the toilet slowly.
"Miss Yin." When Yin Miaoyin was about to return to Qinghe Palace, the palace maid who recognized her immediately came to greet her.
"By the way, I have something to ask you." Yin Miaoyin thought of the woman she had just met. She felt that she had been rude to her and that she should find an opportunity to apologize to her.
And somehow, she felt that the man was familiar, but she was sure she had never seen him before.
The palace maid was very respectful to the prime minister's granddaughter and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, Miss Yin, just ask."
"Among the guests attending the palace banquet today, is there any lady or woman with a birthmark on her face?"
Although Yin Miaoyin only said a few words, the palace servants immediately realized who she was talking about.
"There is only one person with a birthmark on her face, and that's the Crown Prince's Consort from Marquis Dingbei's Mansion." The palace servant was respectful to Yin Miaoyin, but when she spoke of Liu Mingyue, her tone was a little contemptuous.
Liu Mingyue, who had just finished relieving herself, didn't know that Yin Miaoyin had noticed her. She didn't want to return to her seat too quickly, so she just walked around in the courtyard outside the Qinghe Palace.
All the palace paths, big and small, were illuminated by lanterns, but the light from the lanterns was limited, and it was a bit dark at night. Liu Mingyue walked around for a while, but felt uncomfortable and planned to return to Qinghe Palace.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she met a pair of bright eyes.
A tall man in white stood on the side of the rockery. It seemed that Liu Mingyue had disturbed him.
"You...you, I'm sorry." Liu Mingyue was frightened by the whiteness and apologized subconsciously.
She is a person who has been reborn, and she still believes in ghosts.
The moon was bright in the sky, the silver light was like a silk thread, and the scenery was so beautiful, but there was no one around, it was too deserted. Listening to the string music in the Qinghe Palace, Liu Mingyue subconsciously lowered her head, wondering if she pretended not to hear, would the ghost let her go?
A vague chuckle came from the room. Liu Mingyue raised her eyes hesitantly and saw the man put his hands behind his back and looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Do I look like a ghost?"
When the man smiled, his sword-like eyebrows raised, and his upturned eyes made him look like a bewitching fox.
However, his temperament was not evil, and the jade pendant on his waist made his white clothes less monotonous, but made him look handsome.
Liu Mingyue shook her head. Not only did he not look like a ghost, he was also very gentle and handsome, and very good-looking.
It turned out to be a person. Liu Mingyue was embarrassed by her reaction just now. This person had an extraordinary temperament and was in the palace. She didn't know what his identity was.
Just as Liu Mingyue was hesitating about how to greet him, a palace maid walked out from behind the man and saluted to him: "Crown Princess, this is Gongzi Yu."
Liu Mingyue had never seen the person in front of her, but she knew his name.
When Liu Mingyue heard the palace servant announce the other person's name, she realized that the man in front of her was the hostage sent by Qi State half a year ago, that is, the Sixth Prince of Qi State, Xuanyuan Yu.
"It turns out to be the Sixth Prince. I just came here alone and was a little out of control when I met you. I hope you don't mind." Liu Mingyue bowed to Young Master Yu and lowered her eyes without looking at him again.
"It was me who scared the Crown Prince's wife. So, I should be the one to apologize to you." The other party bowed to her gracefully. Liu Mingyue took two steps back and put some distance between herself and the other party.
"Your Highness, you are too kind." In her previous life, Liu Mingyue had no contact with this hostage prince and had no idea what kind of person he was.
Half a year ago, the war between the two countries came to an end. In order to show their sincerity in peace talks, both countries sent hostages. In order to show their sincerity in peace talks, marriage and sending hostages are common means.
But who was sent there was worth pondering. Half a year ago, the Queen and Concubine Li had a fierce fight, and the Queen decided to go all out and designed to send Concubine Li's son, the Eleventh Prince, to Qi as a hostage.
Chi Hongyuan was able to escape this way, but under normal circumstances, the most likely to be sacrificed are the unappreciated princes like Chi Hongyuan. If it weren't for Concubine Li and the Queen, he would have gone to Qi.
The two met for the first time, and they only exchanged a few polite words. Liu Mingyue knew that she could not hang around any longer, so she left and returned to Qinghe Palace.
Little did she know that Xuanyuan Yu was standing behind her, watching her leave, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"Why did you take so long?" As soon as Liu Mingyue sat down at the table, Qin Zhuoyan showed concern for her for the first time.
"Because I felt a little dizzy after drinking, I went outside the hall to get rid of the smell of alcohol." Liu Mingyue said seriously.
"This prince is not concerned about you. I only asked you because His Majesty asked just now. Don't think of it in the wrong way and make me disgusted." Qin Zhuoyan frowned in disgust, afraid that Liu Mingyue would misunderstand.
Liu Mingyue rolled her eyes unceremoniously in response: "I do have some self-awareness, Your Highness, rest assured."
The two of them disliked each other, and when they sat at the same table, they wanted to split the table into two.
After that, the two of them didn't talk to each other anymore. Liu Mingyue had no friends and no one to talk to, so she looked around boredly. She paid more attention to the guests at the table, at least to recognize some familiar faces.
Otherwise, if I run into someone I don't know and something like what happened in the garden happens again, it will be really embarrassing. Liu Mingyue glanced around and saw a familiar figure at the table.
