Chapter 338 Night Banquet in Qianjiao Garden (3)

The work in Qianjiao Garden was quick and easy. Soon after Xiao Xun left, freshly prepared meals were brought over from the small kitchen. Xiao Xun called Lou Xiyue, and then the two of them ate in the west wing.

"Serve the girl with food." Xiao Xun stood aside and served him respectfully, "Master Nie paid a lot of money to hire the cook in the garden. The food is very good. I wonder if it matches the girl's taste?"

"The color, aroma and taste are all perfect. Such delicacies are of course impeccable." Lou Xiyue said, "You don't have to wait around anymore. Let's sit down together and enjoy some."

"Yes."

Just as Xiao Xun was about to sit down, Lou Xiyue suddenly changed her words: "Wait a minute!——"

"What's the matter, girl?"

Lou Xiyue turned her head and smiled and said: "Sorry, I suddenly feel thirsty. I remember that the tea you made just now is very refreshing and quenches my thirst. I wonder if you can make some more?"

Xiao Xun was surprised and said: "Do you want to drink now, girl?"

Lou Xiyue nodded: "Yes, now."

Xiao Xun had no choice but to stand up: "Okay, please wait a moment, girl. I will come back as soon as I go."

Lou Xiyue watched her leave the room, then lowered her head and took out the note covered with rice from the rice bowl.

I saw clear ink marks on the paper: At midnight tonight, there will be a story about the Zhaohua Pavilion in the garden.

Lou Xiyue looked at the signature at the end and frowned: "Xuan Yi's letter?" He also arrived at Qianjiao Garden?

Somehow, the face of the Lin family servant appeared in her mind, as well as the meaningful smile when he left.

She thought: Could it be that the handyman was Xuan Yi?
If that were the case, it would make sense - no wonder he specifically called her out when he was leaving and said something strange. It turned out to be not without reason.

Lou Xiyue had an idea in her mind. After gathering herself, she turned around and burned the note without leaving any trace.

When midnight.

Late at night, when everything is silent, everything inside and outside Qianjiao Garden is completely silent. The watchmen have long since stopped, and the actors who used to sing in the middle of the night have also stopped singing early.

However, in this quiet atmosphere, there is a hint of something unusual.

Suddenly, a soft "squeak" sound came from a certain courtyard in the garden, and at the same time, a black shadow flew out from the gap in the door like a ghost.

The dark shadow moves northward under the moonlight. The night wind here is rustling, but the man in black moves like the wind, as if he is in a deserted place.

After a while, the black shadow stopped in the north-facing garden.

The fragrance of autumn chrysanthemums lingered in the Zhaohua Pavilion. A black shadow paused in the pavilion for a moment, and soon, a "rustling" sound came from behind.

Lou Xiyue turned around and saw the visitor taking off his black scarf, kneeling down and saluting: "I have met the princess."

"This is not Prince Xuanping's Mansion, and you don't need to salute me - just get up." Lou Xiyue said lightly: "It is indeed you - disguised as a servant of the Lin family, following me into Qianjiao Garden. This is Fu Guan idea?"

Xuan Yi stood up and stepped forward and said: "Qianjiao Garden does not like outsiders to enter. It is not easy to sneak in."

Lou Xiyue was noncommittal. She asked: "That's all, let's not talk about it for now - you left me a letter because you have something to discuss?"

"I do have a few things to tell the princess." Xuan Yi said: "The first thing is that the palace has received the princess's guests. The prince asked his subordinates to bring you a message: The prince said, please don't worry, the palace will take good care of you. The guest of the princess; "The second thing is about the night banquet in Qianjiao Garden: According to the information discovered by my subordinates today, the night banquet will start in two days. At that time, the prince, Qi Yu and others, as well as local officials from all over Daxuan Everyone will be there. "

Lou Xiyue said in surprise: "The night banquet is brought forward? Why is this? Do you know the reason?"

"I heard that it was to entertain a wealthy businessman from the south." Xuan Yi said: "Due to his identity, the clues investigated by my subordinates are very limited. I only know that the wealthy businessman is an honored guest invited by the prince. There is no relationship between the two of them. There’s business going on.”

Lou Xiyue thought to herself that most of the people who do business with Xiang Feng are not good people. Their cooperation must not be serious business.

"I understand everything you said, and I will act carefully." Lou Xiyue asked, "Besides these two things, are there any other things?" She glanced at Xuan Yi and said:

"Fu Guan probably has something else he wants you to convey?"

Several days had passed since she impulsively left the palace.

In the past few days, Lou Xiyue deliberately suppressed herself and did not think about that embarrassing night, and her mood had calmed down a lot. At this moment, she thought of Fu Guan, and her heart felt calm, and she was no longer as embarrassed and angry as before.

At this time, Xuan Yi was suddenly surprised when he heard Lou Xiyue asked about Fu Guan in a calm tone. He raised his head and glanced at Lou Xiyue: "Princess, are you not angry with the prince anymore?"

Lou Xiyue: "...I'm not angry."

Xuan Yi: "Okay, I understand." Cheng, you are the princess, so if you say you don't want it, then you won't have it - who would believe it? Most of the people in the palace know that you two are having a lot of trouble!

He secretly cursed a few words, then took out a letter from his arms and said: "The prince knew that the princess was angry and regretful, so he sent this letter to the princess this morning and asked the princess to read it. "

Lou Xiyue: "..."

She took the letter with a complicated expression and felt that there was a thick pile inside the envelope. She suddenly felt her scalp numb: What on earth did Fu Guan write? The letter paper was so thick and stuffed to the brim?
In an instant, Fu Guan's deep eyes seemed to reappear yesterday. Lou Xiyue's heart skipped a beat and her breathing stopped for a moment.

"...Tell him not to stuff this waste paper next time, or I will tear it up on the spot!" Lou Xiyue gritted his teeth.

Xuan Yi heard the tone of her voice and thought: Look, she is still angry after all. I don’t know what the prince has done that is so outrageous. It’s weird, weird.

He sighed secretly, nodded and said: "Yes, my subordinates will truthfully convey the princess's words to the prince."

Lou Xiyue didn't want to see anyone related to Fu Guan anymore. She randomly stuffed the letter into her sleeve pocket and turned to leave: "There are many eyes and ears in Qianjiao Garden. It is not advisable for you and me to stay out for a long time. Let's go back early."

After saying that, she used Qing Gong and evacuated first.

Xuan Yi watched Lou Xiyue walk away and murmured helplessly: "These two people...oh, what should we do..."

Lou Xiyue left quickly and came back quickly.

She quietly returned to her bedroom, changed out of her night clothes in the dark, and was about to lie down on the bed. But his eyes wandered, and he couldn't help but look at the letter that was thrown aside.

She read the letter quietly for a while: "...that's all, let's take a look at what you have to say."

Then, Lou Xiyue turned around, took out the fire seal, and lit a small lamp. She opened the envelope and found a piece of drawing paper folded into small pieces inside.

She unfolded the drawing paper and took a closer look under the lamp, and saw a beautiful woman popping up on the paper - it was the portrait of her that Fu Guan drew with his pen that night!

The difference is that what Lou Xiyue saw at that time was still an unfinished product. Today, the completed painting handed over to her by Xuan Yi is of a carefree and carefree Lou Xiyue on the hunting ground.

"Fu Guan...are you sick?!" She cursed in a low voice, not noticing her slightly hot face at all.
