CHAPTER 367 (2): IN THE IMPERIAL GARDEN
“Mmm, I went out to take a short walk.” Su Xi-er smilingly replied, and began to partake her meal.
The palace maids finished their meals in about five minutes, with everyone proceeding to place their utensils into a bucker for the palace maids in charge to wash.
The female cook then had Su Xi-er go and rest again before entrusting someone to take her to the Imperial Garden in four hours.
As for Chao Mu and Tan Ge, they both tagged along with Su Xi-er since they came from the Imperial Library. Soon, it was just the three of them resting in the small hut.
Tan Ge kept silent, Su Xi-er was deep in thought, and Chao Mu kept yelling that it was boring. Just like that, the four hours passed, and the three followed an older palace maid to the Imperial Garden.
Before they entered, Su Xi-er could already hear the mellifluous sound of silk bamboo music. It was immediately followed by the sonorous voice of a man singing opera, then switched over to the melodious sound of a woman’s voice.
The palace maids could only stand near the entrance of the Imperial Garden and watch from afar. Currently, a play of a hero saving a damsel in distress was performed on the high opera stage, rousing the excitement of the palace maids and eunuchs.
Su Xi-er’s gaze landed on the opera stage for a moment before shifting to search for a familiar figure dressed in light purple.
Perhaps Pei Qianhao was too dazzling, or Su Xi-er was very familiar with him, but she managed to find him very quickly. She saw that he was nonchalantly swaying a wine cup in his hand. Looking opposite of him, she saw that it was Xie Liuli who was seated across from him.
Xie Liuli had attended the banquet in lavish clothes. Clad in a pink cherry blossom dress, she wore silver hairpins and sparkling pandora glass beads, looking as breathtaking as a proudly blooming flower in the winter.
The opera performance on stage was approaching its climax, causing the palace maids and eunuchs to begin fervently chatting.
“That man’s fighting ability is too awesome. He managed to knock the tiger onto the ground!”
