Chapter 59: Traces Yan Shu was angry and embarrassed, and couldn't believe how Xiao Yu...
Yan Shu returned to Baohua Palace, and Qingtao went to the small kitchen to serve the meal.
The girl collapsed on the soft couch, not wanting to move at all. At this moment, she leaned on the soft pillow, feeling only the pain in her waist.
Yan Shu became angry when she thought about what happened in the afternoon.
She really didn't know where Xiao Yu got so much energy to bother her.
Hadn't I told him to stop taking those pills? Why was he still so energetic? Could it be that the effects of those pills were so long-lasting?
Yan Shu's mind was a mess.
Anyway, she didn't want to see Xiao Yu again these days.
If Xiao Yu continues to pester her like this every time in the future, refuses to listen to her explanation, and just uses trivial matters to punish her, then such a person is not worthy of her true heart.
The premise of love is mutual trust and respect, but Xiao Yu now just wants to possess her.
Although Yan Shu had once wondered if leaving like this today would anger Xiao Yu, she felt an inexplicable rage in her heart and could not bear to continue to be humble and try to please him.
Perhaps it was because she knew Xiao Yu would not kill her that gave her the confidence, Yan Shu felt that she could not help but become a little pretentious.
So people are greedy.
When her life was threatened, Yan Shu felt that as long as she could stay alive, she would compromise or even sell her body, and she was willing to do it.
But now that she seems to have realized that she has a certain place in Xiao Yu's heart, Yan Shu's desire is not just to live a peaceful life.
Now I am beginning to hope for some sincerity.
But Xiao Yu's behavior today greatly disappointed Yan Shu.
She began to feel a little unsure whether Xiao Yu really liked her or was just being possessive.
While Yan Shu was daydreaming, dinner was delivered from the small kitchen.
Seeing the dishes she loved, Yan Shu felt much better. After eating a lot of delicious food, the little girl finally put down her chopsticks with satisfaction.
After walking in the courtyard for a while to help digest the food, Yan Shu went to the bathroom to take a shower.
But she didn't know until she took a shower. When she got to the bathroom and took off her clothes, Yan Shu was shocked.
It turned out that in addition to the chest, there were red marks on the waist, arms, and even the base of the buttocks and the insteps.
In addition to the red marks caused by sucking on the waist and buttocks, you can also see some pinching marks.
Yan Shu finally figured it out now.
No wonder she dreamed of that strange big snake that kept sweetening her. It turned out that someone really sweetened her all over while she was sleeping.
Yan Shu was angry and embarrassed, and couldn't believe how Xiao Yu could be so shy.
Fortunately, the marks were not painful, but they were a little shocking to look at.
But Yan Shu was naturally unhappy about her fair skin being ruined like this. After all, Yan Shu was a girl who loved beauty very much, so how could she tolerate such mottled marks?
So after taking a bath, the girl let her black hair down, wore a gauze silk nightgown, and leaned on the couch, carefully applying ointment to the red marks bit by bit.
Before she could completely wipe her body, she suddenly heard the news outside the hall that Xiao Yu had come to Baohua Hall.
Yan Shu immediately sat up from the couch in a panic and quickly said to Qingtao beside her: "Qingtao, I won't see him. If he wants to come in to see me, just tell him that I'm asleep."
As she spoke, Yan Shu quickly blew out the candles on both sides, then quickly lay down in the quilt, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
As soon as Xiao Yu entered the yard, he saw that the inner hall was already pitch black.
But it was only the hour of Xu.
Qingtao, who was pushing the door open, saw Xiao Yu and his group, and her face suddenly tightened. She immediately walked forward and stammered.
"Your Majesty, the beauty has gone to bed."
Xiao Yu's eyes darkened when he heard this, obviously knowing that this was Yan Shu's deliberate avoidance.
After all, Yan Shu usually goes to bed at midnight.
His Shushu was angry.
It was all for the Taizhu of Yan State.
The young king's eyes suddenly darkened.
Zhou Tong, who was following beside him, saw that his king was gloomy and cold, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately stepped forward and advised, "Your Majesty, perhaps Lady Yan is just tired and rested so early today."
Zhou Tong naturally knew that Concubine Yan was currently angry with the king. After all, she had caused quite a commotion when she left Changming Palace today.
In fact, Zhou Tong didn't know what had happened between the king and Concubine Yan. They were so sweet and loving a few days ago, so why did things change so suddenly today?
He really didn't understand this young man's feelings.
After hearing Zhou Tong's words, Qingtao on the side quickly agreed as if she had found a savior.
"Yes, yes, my beauty was too tired today, so she rested as soon as she finished dinner. She had no idea that the king would come..." Qingtao felt a little guilty as she spoke.
Xiao Yu looked at the dark bedroom, and finally lowered his eyes to hide the obscurity in his eyes.
…
From that day on, Yan Shu hid from Xiao Yu for three consecutive days.
She neither took the initiative to go to Changming Palace to find him, nor did she go to bed early when Xiao Yu came at night, so Xiao Yu was always turned away.
Qingtao couldn't help feeling anxious when she saw that her princess had refused to see King Xiao for several days.
"Princess, it's not good for you to continue like this. What if the king gets really angry?"
Yan Shu was sitting on the swing in the yard, swinging slowly, her fair little face showing a calm and relaxed look.
"He's angry, so what? It's his fault for being so unreasonable." The girl didn't care and continued to swing on the swing.
Xiao Yu punished her like that, and she had only left him alone for a few days. Could it be that she couldn't bear it?
Looking at her girl's calm expression, Qingtao could only feel anxious.
So two more days passed like this. Just when Qingtao thought that the king was really going to continue the stalemate with his princess, she received the news that the king was going to hold a banquet in the palace today to welcome the envoys from the three countries.
When Zhou Tong went to Baohua Palace to deliver the message, his tone was particularly attentive and flattering, for fear that Concubine Yan would start to act like a spoiled brat again and refuse to attend the banquet.
But Yan Shu was certainly not the kind of person who didn't know the importance of things. Since she knew it was a banquet to receive envoys, she naturally had to attend it.
Although she didn't want to see Xiao Yu, she had already left him alone for five days. Now that he had given her a way out, it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to reluctantly take a step back.
After all, besides her, there are three other people in the palace who are eyeing the position of queen.
It's okay to be a little bit capricious occasionally, but you can't really push Xiao Yu to someone else.
When Qingtao saw that her princess agreed, she felt happier than during a holiday.
After all, she also hoped that her princess could get along well with the king. If she continued to throw tantrums like this, it would not be a solution for a long time.
As the princesses of the three kingdoms were all present at the banquet, Yan Shu naturally had to dress up, after all, she didn't want to be outdone.
Qingtao, on the other hand, felt that her princess was worrying for nothing.
No one else can surpass the princess's appearance. Even with just a little makeup, she would still be incredibly beautiful.
But having said that, Qingtao still put in a lot of effort when dressing up Yan Shu.
Yan Shu chose from over ten dresses, finally selecting a gorgeous peacock blue dress with a curved hem. The collar, cuffs, and hems of the dress were all embroidered with dark gold. The outer garment was a layer of shimmering silk gauze, and a wide silk belt held her waist upright, outlining her slender waist. The sleeves were wide, and the skirt was long enough to trail on the ground, making her look very swaggering.
Her hair was still tied in a bun, but the hairpins and ornaments were more gorgeous and colorful than usual. The pearl necklace and gems adorned on her forehead added a bit of nobility to Yan Shu.
After applying light makeup, Qingtao was almost speechless at the beauty of her own princess.
She was already extremely gorgeous with light makeup, and with a little gorgeous makeup today, she is breathtakingly gorgeous, like a fairy concubine in the ninth heaven, which is really eye-catching.
At dusk, Yan Shu rode in a sedan chair to the main hall of the Xiao Palace and was led into the hall by a eunuch.
As a result, as soon as she entered the main hall, she was cast with probing and scorching gazes from both sides of the table.
Xiao Yu was sitting in a high seat in the middle of the north hall at this time. When he saw Yan Shu enter the hall, his dark eyes suddenly became a little darker.
Empress Dowager Zhao Jing was sitting at the upper seat on the east side. At this moment, she was whispering something to Yan Qingwan who was standing beside her. When she saw Yan Shu who was late, a hint of displeasure suddenly flashed across her eyes.
When Yan Qingwan saw Yan Shu, who was dressed in gorgeous attire, her beauty surpassed all the other women present.
The jealousy and resentment in my heart arose again.
Unaware of these twists and turns, Yan Shu simply walked forward and bowed to both Xiao Yu and Empress Dowager Zhao Jing.
Empress Dowager Zhao Jing had an indifferent expression, while Xiao Yu called her in a deep voice.
"Shushu, come here."
Xiao Yu's meaning was obvious. He wanted her to continue sitting next to him like she did at the last Qixi Festival banquet.
But now the two are still in a cold war. Although Yan Shu took the initiative to come to the banquet, it does not mean that she has forgiven Xiao Yu so easily.
Yan Shu smiled softly and said respectfully, "I really don't dare to go against the ancestral rules. I'd better sit at the lower table."
After saying that, the girl sat down at the lower seat on the east side.
In Xiao Yu's sight, the seat on the west side opposite to where Yan Shu was sitting was exactly where Xie Heng was sitting.
The darkness in Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly deepened, and there seemed to be an endless dark tide rolling and surging in his eyes.
My heart felt like it was being torn apart, with waves of strange pain.
Could it be that Shushu agreed to come to the banquet today just to take one more look at Xie Heng?
So she deliberately didn't sit next to him but chose to sit opposite Xie Heng.
Ice armor gradually formed in the dark narrow eyes, and his eyes were filled with deep jealousy.
Yan Shu really didn't notice it at all until she sat down and found that Xie Heng was sitting at the seat opposite her.
So he smiled at him politely, and Xie Heng naturally nodded and smiled back when he saw it.
As an old acquaintance of Yan Gong, and now taking care of her mother in many ways, Yan Shu believed that there was nothing wrong with her attitude towards Xie Heng.
Politely distant, but grateful.
But in the eyes of the young king sitting there, the two of them were smiling softly and were full of affection, unable to speak.
Suddenly, a trace of hostility flashed across his dark eyes.
If Xie Heng was no longer in this world, would his Shushu only like him?
Xie Heng was drinking with the envoy beside him when he suddenly felt a cold gaze falling on him. He looked up in confusion and saw the young King Xiao sitting high up staring at him intently.
A pair of dark and narrow eyes already revealed a deep sense of death.
Yan Shu was still eating the grapes in front of her when she suddenly noticed something strange. When she looked up and saw the murderous intent in Xiao Yu's eyes, she immediately cried out inwardly that something was wrong.
