Chapter 215 Entering the Banquet

As soon as she entered the palace banquet venue, she hardly felt the coldness. As expected, her seat was indeed the last one. After all, she was probably the one with the lowest official rank among those present.

There is a hand warmer on the table, and even the fire basin placed not far away is very exquisite. The whole basin is mainly light blue, and the edge and body of the basin are decorated with blue patterns.

On the table was a pot of steaming tea, a pot of wine, and some cold food.

"You are indeed from the marginal land, and you are dressed so poorly." A female voice sounded with contempt.

Sheng Chang'an raised his eyes. According to historical records, before the imperial court became so licentious, it also paid great attention to the separation of men and women.

but now...

The woman who was speaking looked no more than ten years old, with a hint of childishness on her face, but her hair was already tied up. Beside her was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin build.

The two of them snuggled up to each other, but the man was not very clean and always tried to touch the palace maids whenever he got the chance.

But the person who looked like his wife didn't mind at all, and she wasn't the only one who saw this, but everyone seemed to be used to it.

Some people even took out a wine glass, pinched the chin of the woman next to them and started pouring wine into her. The wine flowed from the corners of the woman's mouth and wet her skirt.

Sheng Changan's brows were slightly furrowed, as if she had never relaxed her brows since she entered the palace.

Before she could say anything, there was a commotion in front of her, and the people who were sitting casually in their seats stood up one after another.

She raised her eyes and found that there was a person shaped like a skeleton sitting on the dragon throne in the center, with a golden dragon robe hanging empty on him.

Appearing with him were Liu Zhao, who had disappeared earlier, and two concubines, one of whom was extremely beautiful, almost comparable to Le Qingping.

She was at a certain distance from the person in front, so she could only get a rough idea of ​​the situation. But judging from Liu Zhao's position, this person should be the third sister of the Liu family, Liu Ruyan.

She was also the legendary Concubine Liu who brought chaos to the court. There were rumors about her one after another among the people, but they all had a bad reputation.

With the arrival of the emperor, one after another, graceful and beautiful dancers began to enter with light steps.

They are dressed in gorgeous and bold clothes, some of which are lightly covered by gauze, revealing their snow-white skin; some are low-cut and backless, showing off their body curves.

It didn't seem like a party, but more like a gathering for orgy.

The palace maids filed in one after another, and began to place exquisite dishes on the table.

Sheng Changan's eyes narrowed as he looked at a small butterfly placed in the corner, on which were powders of five colors.

Her heart sank, and she twisted it lightly with her hands. Sure enough...

In front of most people's tables, the powder on them had already disappeared by more than half in just a short while. Some people had their clothes half undressed, their hair disheveled, and their expressions dazed.

But among this group of people, there was one who seemed particularly calm.

Liu Zhao's intuition was very sharp, and he noticed it almost the moment Sheng Changan set his eyes on him.

He took out some powder from the small dish, sprinkled it in the wine glass, and started walking towards Sheng Changan.

Dressed in a white robe, he looked composed, like a gentle gentleman, yet he appeared in such a lewd scene. What was even more terrifying was that this scene was also his own doing.

"Lord Sheng, why don't we have a drink with this Hanshi Powder? I'm sure you will like it." He raised his glass, his eyes slightly gloomy, obviously not intending to give Sheng Changan a chance to refuse.
