After about half an hour, the outline of the palace appeared in front of me, and as I got closer, I could see more and more clearly the red walls and green tiles, a piece of golden splendor.

Walking in front of the palace gate, there were about seven or eight guards in silver armor on the left and right who stopped their carriage. According to the rules, all foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter the palace, that is, everyone, except for the chariots of the emperor, the queen mother and the concubines, others, regardless of official positions, can only get off at the palace gate and then walk in.

Gu Zhirong and the others got out of the carriage and handed over the gilding posts one after another, and after checking it, a person who looked like an officer at the head waved his hand, and the gate was raised, which was to let them go.

Led by the palace maid, walking on the white marble face in the palace, the endless dragon hall and phoenix pavilion all the way, painting carved trees, strange mountains and stones, all kinds of precious flowers, solemn and magnificent, the eyes of the fourth lady gradually emitted light.

In the capital, the Yuanning Marquis Mansion is considered to have a good terrain. In the ancestral generation, the discerning eye fell in love with the spacious mansion, and the layout inside was clever, so he bought it from a ruined door, renovated it, and divided it into several large courtyards, each courtyard was connected, and the people lived in it were quite comfortable. The fourth lady had also been to the mansions of other sisters she had befriended, and the slightly narrow layout made her very uncomfortable, so she always thought that her yard was the best. But as soon as she entered the palace, she knew that she was just a frog at the bottom of the well, and her courtyard was really small compared to the tea and wood, the winding corridors, and the pavilions scattered in the palace.

She could even imagine living in such a palace like a heavenly fairy palace. What does it feel like to be the master of this huge palace? That must be very refreshing, right? Drinking the elixir and jade liquid, there is a large group of slaves and maids lurking at her feet, and she can call whoever she likes. She is the master of this harem, who can control her? Those concubines rushed to curry favor with her, and looked at her as a horse, and when she thought of this feeling of superiority, she couldn't help but blossom in her heart. also strengthened her thoughts, she must put that Gu Xiaowu down. Be sure to get that Gu Xiaoer down!

But everyone who has the idea of fighting the crown princess throne is her Gu Yuanqin's enemy!

Compared with Gu Yuanqin, the second lady Gu Yuanfang seemed to be preoccupied. Along the way, she lowered her head, not at all to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, as if even a celestial immortal stood in front of her. It didn't arouse her interest.

Not much. After passing through another moon cave gate, you will arrive at Wanhong Garden. The garden is semi-enclosed, and the landscape is so vast that it seems a little out of sight. Nearby is a large pond that divides the garden into two parts. The pond is full of lotus flowers, and although it is early autumn, the lotus flowers are not completely blooming, and the huge green leaves are like pots. The pink flowers are very conspicuous. Near the shore are two open boats. Apparently it was for the people on the shore to pick lotus flowers.

On the north side of the pond, there is a cool breeze pavilion, half leaning against the water, and beyond that, there is a full of red maples. This red maple is as bright as blood, and at first glance, it is full of crimson, and the scene is quite shocking.

Sure enough, among the crowd that came one after another, one person screamed, and Qi Brush attracted many eyes. The man also seemed embarrassed, and smiled wryly, deliberately shrinking back.

Gu Zhirong felt that the figure was even familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. At this time, Cai Qing tugged at her, and said in a low voice: "Miss, do you remember that person? It was at the banquet in Princess Zhaomin's mansion, and Miss Zhao Jiu who followed Miss to step on the corner of Miss's skirt." ”

Gu Zhirong remembered that it was in Princess Zhaomin's mansion that this Miss Zhao Jiu had been following her, she appeared wherever she went, and she was very close, and finally deliberately bumped into her skirt and stepped on the corner of her skirt, so that the "love letter" that Abi put on her body fell to the ground. Not only that, when she saw something falling, this Miss Nine seemed to want to ask for credit, and even wanted to go over to pick up the "love letter" by herself. Seeing each other today, it's really red-eyed.

It's a pity that I am in the palace garden, and there are more important things to do on this trip. Otherwise, Gu Zhirong really wanted to "tease" this Miss Zhao Jiu and let her know that she was not something to be provoked casually.

"Forget it, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When I'm done with my business, I will have the opportunity to settle old accounts with her!" Gu Zhirong said in a low voice.

Cai Qing was afraid that when Gu Zhirong saw Miss Zhao Jiu, there would be fire in his eyes, and if he did something out of the ordinary when the time came, it would be difficult to do. Hearing what my young lady said today, a hanging heart finally let go, sighed, and said in a low voice: "If Miss can think like this, the slave will rest assured." ”

Miss Zhao Jiu glanced at the crowd not far away, and when she saw Gu Zhirong, her eyes suddenly widened, with obvious horror. Seeing that Gu Zhirong didn't look at her, but looked at the scenery of Wanhong Garden, he covered his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, she quietly retreated and walked to a place farther away from Gu Zhirong to stand.

The officials and relatives who were invited to the appointment came one after another, three or five people in the east, and a small group of people in the west, with bright and bright dresses, which decorated Wanhongyuan particularly beautifully. Gu Zhirong looked at it attentively, all of them were young women in their twenties, and none of them seemed to be as old as the eldest lady and the second lady. Gu Zhirong couldn't help but sigh.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Cai Qing looked at Gu Zhirong nervously. Sensing the unusual nature of this banquet, Cai Qing was more nervous than ever, and the slightest hint of wind and grass could make her nerves highly tense.

Gu Zhirong gently took her hand, turned to a shade and stood under the shade: "Don't be nervous, relax, I'm fine, I just feel a little strange." ”

"What does Miss think is strange?" Cai Qing looked nervous.

Gu Zhirong smiled and looked towards the huge pond: "It shouldn't be a bad thing. ”

Cai Qing looked at her own miss inexplicably, I don't know why her own miss said this, but her own young lady's face did not have a solemn look, and a steady and confident smile, such a smile, like a spring breeze, swept through her heart, making her tense nerves gradually relax.

Soon, the palace maids brought up the seasonal melons and fruits, and of course, there were also pastries made by the palace masters, which were full of tables, and the aroma was attractive.

Wen Yan took the lead, and led a group of sisters to stretch out their slender jade fingers, pick up a small osmanthus cake, taste a piece, and then stop tasting it. However, there is a young daughter of the imperial historian, called Zhang Caiyun, who looks white and fat, about eleven or twelve years old, regardless of it, her fat fingers are holding two or three pastries, and her mouth is full of crumbs, which causes the surrounding people to laugh. But after laughing, forget it, I really can't afford to deal with a child.

At this time, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Look over there, everyone." ”

So everyone's eyes brushed in unison and looked in the direction of the pond. (To be continued......)
