Chapter 153 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (23)

night.

There is a moon but no stars.

The red walls and golden palace cast a dark shadow in the moonlight.

In the imperial city of Shangjing, the emperor’s birthday banquet was held.

The entire palace was brightly lit and lanterns were hung high.

The banquet was filled with royal family members and powerful ministers.

The most distinguished and powerful people in the entire Shangjing were all in the palace.

King Qi's position is in the front.

His father was a great general of the Song Dynasty who died for his country. During his lifetime, he guarded the territory and was loved by the people.

Even relying on the influence of his father, the Qi Palace could have no worries about food and clothing for several generations.

Shen Fanli stood behind Prince Qi.

Song Liaoye asked people to sit down, but Shen Fanli said it was against the rules.

It's really against the rules.

It would be fine if it was at the palace on a normal day, but this is a palace banquet.

If a maid were to sit with the prince, at the very least it would be considered as Prince Qi being unruly, and at worst it would be considered as disrespectful to the emperor.

So Shen Fanli stood behind him.

At the banquet, there was singing and dancing, and people were toasting each other.

After blocking several waves of ulterior motives, Song Liaoye asked Shen Fanli: "How about it, do you want to go out for a while now?"

"Your Highness, it's still early. If you leave so early, someone might say something bad to His Majesty, which would be detrimental to Your Highness."

Song Liaoye chuckled, "You don't have to worry about it. I know what to do."

The two of them deliberately lowered their voices, and in the noisy hall, even the seats closest to them could not hear what they were saying.

All I could see was Song Liaoye talking to the maid beside him, but I had no idea what they were talking about.

The prince's eyes swept past Song Liaoye and stopped on Shen Fanli.

Shen Fanli stood behind the man.

She lowered her head and wore extremely low-key clothes, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.

She was wearing a light blue long-sleeved dress today. Among the crowd of gorgeous clothes, she looked particularly plain and elegant, and was not very conspicuous.

"You always dislike too many people. Now the hall is full of people, and there's a smell of alcohol everywhere. Are you feeling a bit stuffy and want to go out for some fresh air?"

Shen Fanli responded softly.

Then he added, "Your Majesty, I can go out first, but please don't leave so soon..."

Song Liaoye said, "Okay, then you go out first. Gao Yu is also outside. He will have someone follow you. Don't run around. Wait for me to go out."

Almost no one noticed Shen Fanli's departure, and even if they did, they wouldn't pay much attention to it.

But it happened to fall into the eyes of someone with a keen eye.

Then he stood up and said a few words to the person next to him, and then asked another person to help him out.

It looked like he was drunk and went out to sober up.

After a while, just as Song Liaoye was about to leave quietly, the emperor asked him a question.

This time, most eyes were on King Qi, and most people responded and nodded.

What the emperor asked about was Prince Qi's marriage.

Both his parents had passed away, but as the descendant of a meritorious official, the emperor's questioning of him was a sign of his great grace and benevolence.

Song Liaoye said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have no intention of getting married for the time being."

After that, several ministers spoke to him and did not leave the table for a while.

the other side.

After leaving the hall, Shen Fanli walked to the left and stopped behind a tree. From this position, he could see people entering and leaving the main hall.

After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no one around, Shen Fanli guessed that they might have been delayed.

It was not convenient for her to stay here all the time. There were people coming and going, and the hall was a bit stuffy. She stood near the front, and even though she kept her head down, she could still sense several eyes looking at her. Perhaps they were just passing by without any ill intention, but Shen Fanli still felt uncomfortable and didn't want to go back into the hall, so she walked forward.

The moonlight is nice tonight, perfect for a walk.

The person who was sent to follow Shen Fanli saw her moving forward and said, "Miss Shen, the prince said..."

"Your prince is stuck and won't be able to get out for a while. Let's go for a while."

The man nodded, "Yes, Miss Shen."

Then follow behind the person.

Just as Shen Fanli turned a corner, a sound came from behind.

"Boom."

The sound of something falling.

Shen Fanli looked back following the sound and saw that the person who had just followed her had fallen to the ground.

A tall figure appeared in front of him.

Shen Fanli opened his eyes wide and looked at the person who came.

She had seen the person at the banquet before. He was the most distinguished person at the banquet besides the emperor.

His Royal Highness.

She hesitated for a moment, and between kneeling down to salute and pretending not to know him, she chose the latter.

Because he came with ill intentions.

Shen Fanli's eyes swept across the person who was knocked unconscious on the ground, and then his gaze fixed on the person who came.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, why did you knock this man out?"

She looked at the surroundings inconspicuously, and there was no one else around.

There was someone guarding not far away. Seeing this, Shen Fanli clenched his hands slightly.

He must be the prince’s man.

I just don't know what his purpose is?

Could it be His Royal Highness Prince Qi?

Zhu Kairui looked at Shen Fanli's panic and nervous expression, chuckled, and asked, "Don't you know who I am?"

Shen Fanli pointed at the man on the ground, looked directly at the prince, and repeated, "Why did you knock him out, and what do you want from me?"

While talking to Zhu Kairui, she delayed time in anticipation of Song Liaoye's arrival.

Zhu Kairui originally planned to knock the man out together, but when he arrived in front of the person, for some reason, he stopped his subordinates from taking action.

It is undeniable that he does have some interest in this person.

Now that he was so close to her, he could see her fair skin, her bright red lips, and the coldness in her beautiful glass-colored eyes. Even in such an occasion, her neck and back were straight, and her posture was not like that of a maid, but rather like that of a lady in the boudoir.

Song Liaoye's vision is indeed good.

No wonder he has been hiding her in his mansion like a treasure.

The interest in his eyes grew stronger. Looking at the man's alert eyes and his steps moving backwards, he answered Shen Fanli's words, but did not answer completely, "I knocked him out because he was really in the way. As for looking for you--"

The tip of his eyebrows slightly raised, and his hand casually dropped to make a gesture, "You will soon know what I am doing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Fanli was suddenly knocked unconscious by someone who appeared from behind him.

Zhu Kairui raised his hand, and the man quickly understood what he meant and took Shen Fanli away.

......

After Shen Fanli wakes up again.

She was lying on the bed in an unknown room at this moment, feeling some pain in the back of her neck and her head was dizzy.

Looking at the dim, dark room, Shen Fanli quickly came to his senses.

She immediately shook her head and looked around, but there was no one and she was not tied up.

Why did the prince knock her out and bring her here?

She got out of bed quickly and walked towards that direction following the light coming from the crack in the door.

Just at this moment, there was a click.

The door was opened.

Following the light, it was still the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Shen Fanli quickly stepped back, looking for something to protect himself.

After a quick glance, there was nothing that could be used for protection, and the room did not look like a place where people already lived. Shen Fanli had seen similar decorations and furnishings before. It was a side hall somewhere in the imperial palace, not far from the banquet place, but not close either.

She is still in the palace!

After Zhu Kairui entered the room, he closed the door and the first thing he said was, "Wake up."

He walked towards Shen Fanli and said, "Then let's get down to business."

"It just so happens that I also want to know the expression on Song Liaoye's face tomorrow when he finds out that his beloved maid has climbed onto my bed and lost her innocence. It must be very exciting."

After saying this, Zhu Kairui laughed.

Zhu Kairui originally planned to ask an adult to do this, but when he saw Shen Fanli's face and her beautiful eyes, he changed his mind.

I want to see——

Those eyes are very beautiful when they cry.

So, this scene happened.

When Shen Fanli heard this, his eyes gradually widened.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Beast!"

How can such a person be the Master of the East Palace and the future emperor!

She didn't know what the grudge between the Crown Prince and Prince Qi was, but a man who was so insidious and didn't take human life seriously was really not worthy of being the Master of the East Palace.

Zhu Kairui narrowed his eyes and swept a sharp gaze over Shen Fanli.

Then, there was the sound of jade colliding.

Shen Fanli stepped back step by step until he had nowhere to retreat and bumped into the table.

Zhu Kairui looked at Shen Fanli as if he was looking at his prey. Just as Shen Fanli stood up and was about to run out the door, Zhu Kairui grabbed him and pushed him hard against the table.

Shen Fanli threw the chair at her feet towards Zhu Kairui with all her strength, but Zhu Kairui dodged it quickly. Shen Fanli wanted to take advantage of Zhu Kairui's distraction to run away, but someone grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back.

She kicked and hit the people in front of her, while shouting, "Help! Help!"

After two sounds, Shen Fanli's mouth was blocked.

"No one will come to rescue you."

Looking at Shen Fanli with fear in her eyes and her loose hair, she became even more seductive. No wonder she bewitched Prince Qi so much that he lost his way and hid in the mansion.

Zhu Kairui raised his hand and grabbed her restless hand, slamming it hard on the table. Shen Fanli's face turned pale. "Serve me well tonight. If you serve me well, I may give you a concubine in the future. If you do not satisfy me, you may not be able to keep your head tomorrow."

Shen Fanli endured the pain in his wrist and said word by word: "Your Highness, this is the Imperial Palace. Today is His Majesty's birthday banquet. If something like this happens, aren't you afraid of being punished by His Majesty?"

At the same time, her right hand was touching the corner where no one could see.

Zhu Kairui took off his clothes and said casually, "Father will naturally not know about this."

Shen Fanli paused for a moment and touched it!

She continued to divert people's attention, "Your Highness, I am the Prince of Qi's man. If the Prince of Qi can't find anyone tonight, maybe he..."

Before Shen Fanli finished speaking, Zhu Kairui approached the person. He reached out to unbutton Shen Fanli's collar, and said with a malicious smile: "Being with me is no better than being with Prince Qi..."

The breath is so close.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Fanli immediately grasped the vase he had just touched and hit the man hard.

Shen Fanli noticed that Zhu Kairui had slowed down and immediately pushed him away.

Zhu Kairui then fell to the ground.

He watched the person run away with his eyes open, and it took him a long time to get up.

After breaking the guy's head, Shen Fanli's hands and feet felt a little weak, but he ran out the next second.

There are the prince's personal guards outside the door, but they are not close to the door, and are at a certain distance from it. They can observe the surrounding situation very well and can see the prince as soon as he comes out.

When Shen Fanli opened the door, he met several pairs of eyes.

Her heart was beating very fast, but she hid her emotions well on her face.

Pretending to be unable to bear the humiliation, he lowered his head and walked to the other side, sobbing as he walked.

The sound is neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for people to hear.

Seeing this, the people guarding outside the door withdrew their gazes, and one of them signaled to go and ask the prince how he was doing, whether he wanted to leave, and also, what to do with that woman.

The man nodded and went to the door.

Shen Fanli's pace became faster and faster. Almost at the same time, when the door was opened from the inside, Shen Fanli's pace became faster and faster, and he ran desperately.

Just at this moment, Zhu Kairui opened the door with a gloomy face and saw this scene.

He put his right hand on his forehead, the blood on his forehead flowed down his face, he looked very fierce, and immediately raised his voice: "Bring this man back to me!"

The person who was about to open the door was shocked when he saw the Crown Prince's appearance. What's going on, His Highness?

I was beaten by that woman!

After taking a look at the other side, just as Zhu Kairui finished speaking, several people not far away immediately chased after him.

He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I will go and ask the imperial physician to come over."

When someone mentioned it, Zhu Kairui felt particularly painful where he was hit, so he waved his hand and told someone to go quickly.

He walked down a few steps, thinking that the person should be caught.

He stared into the distance for a little while and sneered.

It seems that she was caught, but her master is here!

Zhu Kairui walked towards that place, looked at the person coming, and stopped in front of Song Liaoye.

Shen Fanli was protected by Prince Qi behind him, and because of this, his personal guards did not dare to move forward.

His gaze shifted from Shen Fanli behind Song Liaoye to the former.

"Prince Qi, this woman is your maid. She injured me. What do you think I should punish her for?"

Song Liaoye didn't even need to think about the hidden threat in the words; he knew it as soon as he heard it.

Ever since he saw Shen Fanli with disheveled hair and untidy clothes, he has tried his best to control his emotions so as not to do anything in the palace.

A small leak will sink a great ship!

At this time, Song Liaoye saw Zhu Kairui's broken head and guessed what happened. He lifted his robe and knelt down, "Then I will apologize for my ignorant maid and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Song Liaoye is not a gentle person. In the eyes of the late prince and princess, he is a little devil. In the eyes of the people in Beijing, he is an out-and-out playboy.

Only in front of Shen Fanli, he would always be gentler.

Shen Fanli couldn't figure him out most of the time.

Including him kneeling down to apologize for her.
