Chapter 24
It's a pity that the current emperor is not the one who was easy to bully in the past. Naturally, this state also understands it, so he only dares to look at it from the sidelines, but he dare not step forward.

The slightly thin mattress on the body was slightly soaked by the water droplets from the hair tips, which made the silk and satin darker. After the crimson color gradually deepened, it seemed red but not red, until it showed a different color.

Mingyue rubbed her long hair until it was half dry, then went to the drawer of the cabinet on the dressing table to get the apricot flower cream for combing her hair, and maintained Mingxi's hair.

This apricot flower paste is made from the apricot flowers that are budding in spring, and a few Chinese herbal medicines are added to it, and a few expensive spices are used to blend the fragrance. It is specially used by the royal family and nobles to maintain their hair. .

"Madam, do you still want to sleep?" Mingyue then fetched a wooden comb, put apricot flower cream in it, combed her loose long hair, and asked.

"Don't sleep anymore." Now he woke up after dozing off, so he didn't want to sleep much.

"The sun is good today, the sun outside is bright but not glaring. If Madam doesn't want to sleep anymore, go outside and bask in the sun." Mingyue suggested with a smile.

"It's okay, I've been lying down every day, and my body is getting more and more tired."

After finishing speaking, she was reluctant to comb her hair, let the hair that was only slightly pulled up fall down behind her, and stood up with Mingyue's hand beside her.

Three thousand blue silks suddenly slipped down and hung down behind him, without any decorations, and without combing any hair buns, the black silks fell randomly on the shoulders, and fell on the back of the waist.

"Your maidservant, let's cut Madam's hair first." Seeing that Madam didn't want to do so, Mingyue persuaded her, and she wanted to bring Madam to the dressing table, but was rejected.

"No, no one else can enter this Jinming Palace, so let's do that." Ming Xi waved his hand and refused.

This Jinming Hall is the emperor's bedroom, and only the emperor's people can come in to serve him, so Mingxi doesn't want to worry about those so-called well-behaved people, so he might as well be more casual.

Looking at the peach blossoms blooming in the front yard of the hall, and now it is about to bear fruit, the pink-like bright red petals are flying down, like a rain of flowers, very beautiful.

The emperor's palace has always been full of peach blossoms, which is very rare.

Ming Xi stretched out his hand to catch the falling petals, pretending not to care and asked: "Mingyue, when will this envoy enter the capital of Shangqing?"

"In three days, I will enter the country of Shangqing, and now I am resting at a station in the suburbs." Mingyue fetched Mingxi's favorite nuts and pastries, and placed them on a small pear-wood square table beside her.

"Now the palace is preparing for the banquet in three days, so it's a bit noisy."

Mingxi was lying on the rocking chair under the peach blossom tree, eating walnut kernels that Mingyue had peeled, and ate them from time to time.

Three days...

The time is short, but it is the only chance for him.

The new emperor's accession to the throne has not yet been stabilized, and the foreign envoys who came to see him suddenly this time must have been specially sent to find out what the new emperor means now.

Xuansong will definitely focus on dealing with foreign affairs, the banquet is full of people, and the foreign ministers will also attend the banquet, then is the best time.

"Mingyue, I want to eat milk tea." It was originally in the Shen residence that Mingxi liked to drink it very much, but after entering the palace, the original people disappeared, and no one who knew what he liked was around.

I don't know what happened to Ah Qi, he probably went back to Xuansong's hidden guard, I don't know if I can get it from him.

He just thought that he would be leaving in three days, so he gave up.

Because of this banquet, these three days have been very busy.

Both inside and outside the palace seem to be very busy, perhaps because of Fanbang's affairs, it was the first time that Xuansong did not spend the night in Jinming Hall.

Shen Mingxi didn't feel anything, but Mingyue was in a hurry.

Mingyue brought the freshly brewed milk tea to Madam, looked at Shen Mingxi cautiously, and said tentatively: "The Emperor is now in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Madam is going to take a look?"

"I won't go." Ming Xi refused without thinking, lowered his head and took a sip of the milk tea, it was not the same taste as before, took a few sips and then put it down.

Mingxi saw Mingyue's small thoughts early in the morning, but he didn't say anything, but he didn't make things difficult for her. After all, she was only working for the emperor, so he could only smile and say:
"The Hall of Supreme Harmony is an important hall for discussing politics. It is a place where ministers discuss important military matters. It would be bad for me to go there in my current status."

The most important thing is his current status, the position is very embarrassing.

In the past, she was the abandoned side concubine of the Ninth Prince Xuanyi, but now she is living in the harem before the death of the New Empire.

"Forget it, you go and fetch white cloth and spread it under the peach blossom tree, then fetch it to make wine, take it to dig out in winter, and taste the fragrance of flowers in spring." Ming Xi thinks it is better to find something for Mingyue to do, so as not to lose his mind Put it all on your head.

"Yes." Mingyue replied, and ordered someone to arrange it.

Xu greeted the coming of summer, and the daytime became longer and longer. Before dusk, the whole palace began to be lively.

Ming Xi could also hear a lot of whispers from the palace people.

The Fanbang envoys entered the capital of the Shangqing Kingdom at noon, and waited for the palace banquet to begin in the evening before meeting with the Holy Majesty.

He also heard that among the accompanying foreign envoys, there was another person of high status. As for the other Shen Mingxi, he was not listening to the sermon.

Today's palace banquet, most of the palace people are at the banquet, and there are many fewer guards in the Jinming Palace.

Ming Xi said he was unwell and didn't want anyone to bother him, so he waved the remaining servants out and took a rest early.

After extinguishing the candles, Mingxi learned the profound lesson from before. He didn't eat much, and he was served by an easy-to-move female officer.

Later, you just need to take advantage of the chaos and leave with the team of female officials, conceal your identity, and leave the palace at that time.

The first time he was born, the second time he was acquainted, Ming Xi neatly avoided the palace people in the Jinming Palace, calculated the time for the guards to change their shifts, and escaped.

The last time he climbed over the wall and went out, he hit a wall. This time, Ming Xi wisely changed his escape plan, and he will never make mistakes again.

Just bypassing the palace people outside the Jinming Hall, go to the back, and walk to the inside of the promenade near the palace garden.

Wherever the location is remote, in the past, palace people would seldom go here, and today, no one comes to this dark corridor for banquets.

Then...Ming Xi saw the Eighth Prince Xuan Sheng.

Is my running posture not right? I can always meet some terrible people.

"Eighth Prince, what a coincidence." Ming Xi twitched his lips.

Looking at the other party's calm and relaxed appearance, he wasn't surprised at his sudden arrival. It seemed that he had known about it early in the morning and was waiting here.

"Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you." Xuan Sheng leaned on the side railing, smiling at Shen Mingxi who was blown out of anger.

The blue veins on Ming Xi's forehead throbbed out of anger, wishing to tie up the other party and beat him up to relieve his anger.

PS: The author doesn't have a normal male protagonist.

You will miss the hero who is still normal nowadays.

What's more, I changed my name, so I'll say the important things three times.

"The paranoid hero always wants to attack me"
