The Winter Moon Festival banquet will invite the ladies and sons of the families of officials above the fifth rank in Beijing, regardless of their concubines, who only need to be thirteen years old to enter the palace for the banquet. Su Qingluan had already received the post of entering the palace, and the sun went to the palace in the west.
Su Qingluan went to the queen mother's palace when she entered the palace, and when she arrived, there was already a group of people around the queen mother, and some princesses and princesses in the royal family gathered here to amuse the queen mother.
"Luan'er has seen the imperial grandmother. Su Qingluan bowed and saluted.
The smile on the Queen Mother's face became a little more real when she saw Su Qingluan coming, "Good boy, come over to the imperial grandmother." As she spoke, she beckoned Su Qingluan to sit down next to her.
Chunhui hurriedly moved the brocade and placed it next to the queen mother's phoenix chair.
Originally, when everyone around the Queen Mother saw Su Qingluan, they all got up and saluted, and Su Qingluan accepted it generously. smiled and walked to the Queen Mother and sat down.
"Ruthless girl, how many days have you not come to see the mourning family?" The Queen Mother was a little disgusted, but the smile in her eyes was clear.
"It's all not good, this year's snow has also fallen, Qin Tianjian's people said that this year's snow came late but it was colder than in previous years, and the first two **** went to hunt two foxes in person, ready to make a shoulder for the imperial grandmother and the queen mother. Su Qingluan smiled and apologized.
The Queen Mother laughed again when she heard this, but she blamed herself, "Where is it really your fault, what kind of fox are you going to hunt on a cold day." She still knows the topography near the capital, and the mountain with foxes nearby is also six hundred miles away recently.
Everyone on the side also said something in line with each other, whether it was the Queen Mother or Su Qingluan, they were the ones they wanted to stammer. I accompanied the Queen Mother for an afternoon, and promised to stay in the Queen Mother's palace tonight, and the Queen Mother released her.
Out of the queen mother's palace gate Su Qingluan went straight to the queen's palace, today's banquet is assisted by Qu Zitan, the queen can relax.
"The Queen Mother. After entering the door and saluting, seeing Su Qingluan coming, the queen had a little more smile on her face.
Seeing that the queen had something on her mind, Su Qingluan was puzzled, "Does the queen mother have something on her mind?"
The queen did not hide from Su Qingluan, "Today I sent the imperial doctor to ask Xuan'er for a pulse, and the imperial doctor came back and said that Xuan'er's recent fetal instability seems to have been foreshadowed, and it can't be said that it will be around the New Year's Festival." ”
Su Qingluan said with relief, "Concubine Lin's belly has been more than eight months, and it will be almost nine months in the first month, and it is not for nothing that the palace gave birth in nine months, although the queen mother can rest assured." ”
Having said that, Lin Xuan is pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson in her belly, and she is carefully taken care of in the prince's mansion, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of by the grandmother sent by the imperial grandmother, how can the fetus be unstable?
After talking to the queen for a while, the two went to pick up the queen mother together.
When they arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, everyone left in the afternoon, and as soon as the Queen Mother took a break, the Queen Mother and her daughter waited for the Queen Mother to change her clothes and dress up, and everything was ready The emperor also came, so everyone went to the banquet hall together.
This Winter Moon Festival banquet was held in a place called the Flying Snow Temple, which was slightly larger than the Izumo Hall, and the doors and windows around the main hall were made of glass. Specially prepared for the Winter Moon Festival, you can sit in the hall but you can watch the snow outside.
When Su Qingluan and the others arrived, almost all the people in the Flying Snow Hall had arrived, and the banquet officially began when the emperor and empress arrived.
After Su Qingluan sat down, he quietly exchanged glances with Su Qingyu, Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua, and continued to drink and feast.
About an hour after the banquet began, the emperor, empress and queen mother also left, and a palace maid whispered three words when pouring wine for Su Qingluan, "Hooked." ”
Su Qingluan drank the wine quietly, made a gesture towards Su Qingyu and the others, and then quietly walked out of the main hall. After waiting outside the hall for a while, Su Qingyu and several people also came out one after another, and then quickly left the palace.
……
The prison was in chaos at this time, and just now a group of black-clothed people broke into the prison, aiming at the cell that the eldest princess had ordered to protect, and in that cell was Li Ke, who had been tortured and was recuperating from his injuries.
After knowing the purpose of the visitor, the jailers did not dare to let them go, and they all desperately blocked the killing, and after the black-clothed man who came lost a few people, there were still six people who came to Li Ke's cell, because Li Ke was an important witness to the person behind the scenes, so eight additional Yulin guards were sent to guard the door of the cell.
Seeing that the man in black killed him violently, the Yu Lin guards also raised their knives to meet him, it seems that the person behind the curtain is really afraid that Li Ke will point out him, the black man sent has a high martial arts, and the eight Yu Lin Wei have no upper hand over the six men in black.
Soon, a man in black took the opportunity to cut the chain of the cell door and came to Li Ke's bed. Li Kexu was too seriously injured, and he naturally slept on the bed when there was such a big movement outside, and the bandages on his body could be vaguely seen through the quilt and messy hair, "Li Ke, you know too much, my lord asked me to send you on the road." As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand, the man in black was obviously the captain of their group and the henchman of the people behind the scenes.
Li Ke on the bed only reacted at this time, I don't know whether he was afraid or unwilling, the unknown words of "ho ho" came out of his throat, and the man in black didn't want to dwell too much, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight towards Li Ke's heart.
Li Ke, who thought that this sword had been seriously injured, would not be able to dodge it no matter what, but found that Li Ke, who should have been certain to die, turned over and avoided it, and he was agile, and he was holding a dagger with a cold light in his hand.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he had been tricked, and before he could react, the "Li Ke" on the bed had already rushed up, and the man in black leaned back to make an iron plate bridge to avoid the blow, but he was not fortunate but felt a cold air hit his lower body, and a figure holding a sword also flew out from under the bed. The man in black strained his feet, and his body slid backwards almost against the ground.
Finally stabilized his body, but found that "Li Ke" and the figure that suddenly appeared under the bed attacked him tacitly, the two were strong and tacitly cooperated, and the black-clothed man had no power to parry, and after a few moves, he was caught and sealed the acupoint.
At this time, the five people outside were also captured by the Yulin Wei reinforcements who appeared at some point and sealed the acupoint, at this time, several people in black couldn't move their tongues, let alone commit suicide, obviously sealing the acupoint was to prevent them from jumping off the wall to commit suicide.
The sound of 'stepping' came, and the black-clothed man in the cell looked up, and in the dim light, Su Qingluan, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, walked over calmly, and the noble and beautiful she was very inconsistent with the surrounding scene, but it made people unable to take their eyes off.
"Want to kill Li Ke?" Su Qingluan curled his lips as if sneering, "I'm afraid your family's wish will be frustrated." ”
"Princess. Li Ke, who caught the man in black, and another person saluted when they saw Su Qingluan, and the crisp voice made the man in black suddenly realize that it was two girls who caught him.
He had guessed that Li Ke was fake, but he didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of two women.
Su Qingluan nodded at them, "Let's go change your clothes." ”
He also instructed the Yulin guards, "Bring them to the interrogation room." ”
"Yes," Yu Linwei dragged away the black-clothed people who had sealed the acupoint.
