Chapter 202 Boredom
He Qiumao replied yes, and then said nothing more, quietly leading the way in front.
The two of them turned a corridor and suddenly a team of patrolling guards appeared in front of them. The white snow and the dark yellow robes formed a sharp contrast, making this team of people extremely eye-catching.
The leader was thin but tall, with a sword at his waist and handsome eyes.
Their eyes met briefly in mid-air.
Ye Lanzhou didn't stop, just nodded slightly and passed him by.
Chu Xiu, however, whispered to her as she passed by: "That Clivia is blooming beautifully."
She followed He Qiumao's steps, but was startled by this sentence and turned her head. Her astonished eyes fell on Chu Xiu's soft eyebrows and eyes. His appearance seemed to have not changed much from his youth, but his temperament had changed.
Now she and Chu Xiu are strangers and should not have any intersection anymore, but she didn't expect that Chu Xiu actually remembered her.
She didn't answer, pretending not to hear, and quickly caught up with He Qiumao, following his lead to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
They were all acquaintances, but not too close. They were all people whose identities could be called out, but unfortunately, they had little interaction with her. After entering the palace, her few friends were the concubines who had been in the same palace as her. They had all entered the palace at the same time as her. Later, those whose families had connections had left, and those who had been able to cling to the powerful had also left the palace. She was the only one who had followed Ye Lanzhou's path.
As soon as she sat down, she felt a pair of eyes falling on her. She looked up and saw Xie Zhaohe opposite her looking at her. The look in his eyes was not very friendly, but there was no malice in it either. It was more of a scrutiny.
She looks somewhat like Xie Chengyan. She doesn't know if it's because Xie Chengyan's appearance often appears in her mind, but she always feels that Xie Zhaohe has a masculine appearance. There is no softness in her eyes that a woman should have, but there is a bit more heroism.
Ye Lanzhou had only briefly met Xie Zhaohe at the previous palace banquet. She looked a little haggard compared to that time, probably because of the medicine Ah Zan had asked her to test. She glanced at Xie Zhaohe's table, which was now filled with light dishes, not spicy at all.
It seems that Azan took the message back and she believed it.
At the palace banquet, there were sounds of stringed instruments and clinking of glasses. Halfway through the music, Xie Chengyan leisurely sat down.
He was wearing a black python robe. When he sat down, he glanced at her unconsciously, and then sat down as if nothing had happened.
He probably wanted her to avoid suspicion. Ye Lanzhou curled the corners of her lips slightly, then lowered her head to take a sip of tea, and then did not look in his direction again.
The palace banquet went on as usual. Everyone at the banquet chatted idly. Ye Lanzhou didn't know anyone and didn't understand what they were talking about, so he just sat in his seat quietly.
There were too many bandages wrapped around her body, and her waist started to ache after sitting for just a moment.
If I had known earlier, I would have tied it looser...
Xie Chengyan was often pulled over by Xie Chengyuan to talk. Xie Chengyuan's face was full of joy, but Xie Chengyan just had a cold face and didn't listen to what Xie Chengyuan said at all. His eyes fell on Ye Lanzhou from time to time, and when he saw that she didn't even look at him, he felt annoyed.
He suddenly gulped down a mouthful of strong liquor, and Xie Chengyuan beside him hurriedly advised: "Fourth brother, what are you doing? This liquor is strong, it's uncomfortable to drink it like this."
Ye Lanzhou finally raised her head, but only gave him a puzzled look. Her gaze was the same as everyone else at the banquet, only more irritated...
