Chapter 310 I almost believed your lies again
Shu Hong's eyes narrowed and she pursed her lips subconsciously.
Dai Jiangkuang didn't care at first, but he was slightly startled when he saw her expression, "Is this yours?"
Shu Hong nodded casually, bent down and picked up the small bamboo flute that was broken into two pieces. Dai Jiangkuang looked at the small bamboo flute, but couldn't help squinting his eyes and asked casually,
"This bamboo flute is exquisite, and seems to be used for communication. Where did Miss Shuhong get it from?"
Shu Hong naturally couldn't say that this was a gift from Lie Yi, so she quickly wrapped the bamboo flute in a handkerchief and said calmly, "I just happened to get it when I passed by the market with Guipin."
Without waiting for him to ask any more questions, she quickly knelt down and saluted, "Deputy Commander Dai, I have something else to do, so I will take my leave first."
Dai Jiangkuan wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw her returning to the yard with the bamboo flute wrapped in a handkerchief, he could not help but frowning slightly. After a while, he turned around and left.
However, not long after the two of them left, a figure in black quietly walked out from another shadow, and after a while, quietly landed back in the yard.
Shuhong returned to her room, hurriedly put away the broken bamboo flute, and without bothering to look for Lie Yi again, she returned to serve Si Linglong.
Qinglu had just come back with something and was talking about the news she had just heard from Lingsheng.
"It is said that the Southern City Inspector heard that the Emperor had also arrived here, so he specially arranged a banquet with several nearby prefects and invited the most beautiful courtesan in Southern City to dance for the Emperor. Everything has been prepared in front now."
This is what Shu Hong heard when she entered the room. She subconsciously looked at Si Linglong and saw that her concubine narrowed her eyes. She quickly stepped inside and changed the subject, "I asked you to prepare the things that Concubine Gui will use to roast chicken later. Have you prepared everything?"
Qinglu heard this and said hurriedly, "Speaking of this, the spice that Guipin often uses ran out on the way. The people in the kitchen said that they have to go out to buy it directly, so it may take a while for it to be delivered."
After a pause, he asked, "My dear concubine, since the banquet is being prepared, the emperor should let me go with him, right? Then does that mean that the roast chicken cannot be roasted?"
Hearing that the roast chicken could not be roasted, Xue Sha and Xiao Li Sheng, who had been listening quietly on the side, suddenly stood up, obviously unable to accept this turn of events.
Shu Hong heard her just changed the subject and was brought back to her again. She was speechless for a moment.
Qinglu is usually quite clever, but since she fell in love, her brain has apparently become duller.
However, Si Linglong looked normal and spoke calmly, "The banquet was the emperor's business. If the emperor didn't say anything, we should do what we should do."
If Shu Hong had not seen her concubine's eyes narrowed just now, she would have thought that she didn't care at all when she heard her reaction.
Sure enough, the next second, Si Linglong stood up.
"The spices are not complete, and it's boring to stay here. Change your clothes and I'll take you out for a walk."
"Ah?" Qinglu realized it later and asked stupidly, "Do I need to ask the emperor for instructions?"
"What do you want to ask for instructions? The emperor didn't say you can't go out. They're busy preparing the banquet. Why are you joining in the fun?"
Si Linglong stopped talking, turned around expressionlessly and went to the inner room to change clothes.
Qinglu finally realized something was wrong and subconsciously looked at Shuhong for help. Shuhong just glanced at her and shook her head, ignoring her.
Si Linglong went into the inner room alone, but couldn't help stamping her feet.
She asked why she wanted to stay another day, it turned out to be just to watch the Oiran dance!
Last time, Shen Rongrong became Ms. Shen the next day after dancing. I wonder how many more she will bring back this time.
[Watching people dancing every day, have you finished reviewing memorials? Have you finished handling state affairs? If you don't do your work, just watch people dancing. What's so good about dancing? 】
[You bastard, I almost believed your lies again. ]
Helian Yue didn't know that because of Lingsheng's words, a fire broke out in his backyard.
It was not until Si Linglong had packed up and was ready to take people out that Helian Yue received the message from Lie Yi, and his face immediately darkened.
You just cried yesterday. Why are you running around outside instead of staying at home to rest your eyes?
