The autumn raindrops ticked down, splashing a layer of white rain mist, and then a gust of wind blew violently, and the white mist drifted away, and the raindrops hit the stagnant water on the ground, stirring up splashes.

When Zhang Zhaohua returned to the world, the top of his head was not wet, but the surface of his feet was soaked, because it rained, he couldn't sit on his shoulders, first, there was no one to hold an umbrella above, and secondly, the person carrying the sedan chair under the bottom also had the possibility of slipping on the soles of his feet.

As soon as she entered the house, she took off her white silk socks, soaked her feet in hot water, and let Baishuang undress her skirt and put on a soft cotton skirt. Not long after, the princess also sent Aunt Zhiyun over and sent a hand stove and a soup woman.

There were a few muffled thunders in the sky, but the rain did not fall heavily, but became smaller, and Zhang Zhaohua said angrily: "When I was walking just now, it went down for a while, and when I entered the house, this god didn't rain much, and he was against me." ”

Today, there are banquets in the heart hall and the middle hall, the king of Yan and the princess feasted the political envoy and his wife in Beiping, Zhang Zhaohua accompanied her for a while in the middle hall, because her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't drink or sit for a long time, so she was sent back by the princess.

Called Handong to drip a little rose juice on the hand towel and apply a hot compress to his face, Zhang Zhaohua just sighed comfortably, but heard someone wearing clogs and stepping into the rain, it seemed to be jumping back and forth, Zhang Zhaohua knew that it was the voice of Xiangguan when he heard it, and he didn't know how to frolic, but this voice was quickly replaced by the footsteps coming from the courtyard gate.

"Niangniang," this is Mama Qian's voice: "Mama Zhou from the Ceremony Institute is here, there is something to report!"

Zhang Zhaohua was lying down, but when she heard the words, she suddenly straightened out, and her stomach suddenly felt numb and painful - but this feeling was quickly ignored by her, and she only raised her voice: "Call her in!"

As soon as Zhang Zhaohua saw the expressions of Mama Qian and Mama Zhou, he knew that something might have happened to that one. Sure enough, Mama Zhou knelt on the ground and said, "Niangniang, that Li family, get away!"

Li is Xiangyun, Zhang Zhaohua asked: "How did you get away and when did you get away?"

According to Mama Zhou, it was only an hour or so that people disappeared, and at that time she and several other grandmothers in the house went to the dining house, because there was a big banquet in two places tonight, and the dishes prepared by the heart hall and the middle hall should be served one by one, but there were two clumsy palace people who broke the two dishes, which was Mama Zhou's new tune. The palace people who taught it, the dish is the latest Confucian dish from the palace, there is a wonderful use in tonight's banquet, the political envoy heard that King Yan has a food list given by the emperor here, and tonight he came to taste this Confucian cuisine - but the teaching was broken, and the dining house was so busy that it was dark, and he didn't know how to explain.

Confucian cuisine is the dish made by the Confucian family in Qufu, Shandong, "the food is not tired of fine, and the food is not tired of being fine" is Confucius's exposition, and the descendants of Confucius are better than the saints in terms of diet. The Confucian cuisine is unique and has a long history, that is, not long ago, in order to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, the head of the Confucian family specially presented five recipes that were not revealed by the Confucian family. Don't look at only five pieces, but they are the Confucian treasures that have been handed down for hundreds of years and used to entertain VIPs, namely: Shili Ginkgo, Yangguan Three Stacks, White Jade Flawless, Yellow Oriole Welcomes Spring, and Ribbon Shangchao.

Don't care what his taste is, of course, the taste must be bad, but look at this meaning, it is all the best meaning, such as this "belt to the court", it is the Confucian government for generations to be officials, from generation to generation, forever for the official house, the meaning of the hereditary title, but it is the top priority, but it was overturned by the palace people who were transferred and taught by Mama Zhou, so how can Mama Zhou not be angry?

She naturally wanted to give an explanation to the dining house, but she didn't expect the backyard to catch fire, and Li Xiangyun, who she asked people to watch, took advantage of the unpreparedness and escaped from the ceremony。 Besides, today's "belt on the court" dish in the restaurant is not destroyed and cannot be redone, and the people in the restaurant can do it, at least there is no problem in fooling people in the dishes.

The most important thing at the moment is Li Xiangyun's escape, which was personally instructed by the princess, and Mama Zhou knew that she had no possibility of shirking her responsibility in this regard, so she immediately sent someone to find it, and at the same time personally went to Zhang Zhaohua to ask for guilt.

"How many people did you send to find her?" Zhang Zhaohua asked, staring at her.

"Four aunts, three palace people. Mama Zhou said.

"That's not enough, the palace is big, and there are places to stay everywhere," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Ask Handong to bring a few girls, start to search from the tea room and clean room in the east, and search one by one, only to catch a girl who stole my hairpin ring, tell others not to panic, see the palace people they don't know, and tell them to report quickly." ”

Han Dong answered, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Mama Qian, and at the same time, Zhang Zhaohua also woke up: "Don't go yet!

Now is the time for the feast, but she is searching and arresting people with great fanfare, but whenever the slightest noise reaches the ears of the political envoy and his wife, what kind of wind will be set off, it is impossible to explain. Zhang Zhaohua thought about it, not only could he not arrest people at this time, but he wanted to call back all the people in the ceremony, so Zhang Zhaohua said: "Go and talk to Gonggong Ma next to my father and Aunt Zhiyun on my mother's side, in the rainy night, the people on duty should be more careful." ”

She stood up with her shoes and paced around the room in circles, rubbing her stomach and whispering, "Careless, careless...... This man should not break into the main hall and wait for the rain to stop......"

Zhang Zhaohua expected it well, Li Xiangyun at this time did not dare to go straight to the main hall, but her location was also unexpected, it was in the rest rooms on both sides of the Cunxin Palace, and the people in the rest room were serving the banquet, only two small palace people who were no more than twelve or thirteen years old were guarding here, ready to change clothes for the nobles.

The raindrops in the sky are falling straight down like sifting beans, and looking at the weather today, although the Cunxin Hall is only a dozen steps away from the rest house, there should be no one coming in the rain. Although these two little palace people had never seen Li Xiangyun, they didn't ask her, they just chatted to themselves.

And Li Xiangyun looked at the incomparably wide water curtain between heaven and earth, and her heart was also confused and trembling. The rain fell on the spine beast on the opposite roof, splashing water like a thin layer of smoke on the roof. The rain flowed down the eaves and began to resemble beads with broken threads, gradually joining into a thread. The water on the ground was getting more and more and faster, and it caused her heart to beat faster and faster.

She ran out of the ceremonial hall and heard the news that King Yan and the prince were feasting in the palace of the heart, so she followed the palace people who served the food all the way to the rest room - she looked at the hall opposite, and knew that the person she wanted to see was only so close to her, and according to what the person told her, as long as she could escape and see the prince, she would be able to get out of this nightmarish situation.

Referring to her two-month life in the house, Li Xiangyun couldn't help but tremble a few times, every day before dawn, she had to learn the rules, do needlework, and tie the strings, and she could only rest late at night. She had endless needlework, her clothes were long and short, fat and thin, and her aunts were very tricky, tearing, changing, and doing them all day and all night. Several aunts are very strict, if she doesn't do well, she will be scolded, if she doesn't understand what she means, she was stunned for a while, and then returned to the room, where do you care what you are doing, first smoke the handle, Li Xiangyun will have to lift her skirt straight and wait to be pumped.

After two months, her calves were already covered with big and red scars, when had she suffered like this? She had come to the house from the garden with great longing, where would she have thought that what would have awaited her was such a hellish life? If in the first days, she thought that these grandmothers and aunts were teaching her the rules, and when the rules were learned, she would be able to serve the world—then what she had secretly heard from an aunt half a month ago made her completely awake.

At that time, she just felt cold at night, and wanted to get up and add a quilt, but she heard the two aunts in the next room say to the sitting, saying that when is the head of disciplining this girl, the other aunt sneered and said that the princess is afraid that she is not going to detain people here for the rest of her life, in short, it is impossible for people to serve the prince, and she will always send it out in the future.

She didn't sleep all night, the window was open again, and the next day she caught a cold, and seeing that she was indeed very sick, a few aunts who disciplined her let her rest, and she lay on the bed, in a daze, for a long time, knowing that she must not sit still, trapped in this place where she could not even get out.

What should she do, what should she do?

At this time, she finally remembered that her mother had been telling her, if there was something that could not be dealt with, she had to find a person's help, this person owed Jin's mother a love, and at the same time there were some handles held in Jin's hands, so when she followed the way written on the paper, secretly hung an upside-down plum blossom veil on the door of the ceremony, although it was only taken down in half a day, but this way of transmitting the message actually really responded, and within a few days, a housekeeper found the ceremony, I don't know what excuse to meet with her, and told her what day is the banquet in the houseWhen people are negligent, if she wants to run out while she is in chaos, someone will naturally lead her to find the son, and how to say it after meeting someone, naturally there is no need to mention it.

Li Xiangyun is not a stupid person in the end, she has read so many books, and she knows how to do it from the books, thinking that Wei Zifu of the Han Dynasty has been in the palace for more than a year, and she has not been favored, and even when Emperor Wu chose the palace people to leave the palace, she was also sent out, but Wei Zifu seized such an opportunity, saw Emperor Wu, and after some weeping and lamentation, she was favored again, and since then she has been on the throne of the queen, isn't this her best reference?

Besides, what happened to her is indeed a sigh for those who hear it, Li Xiangyun doesn't believe that Gao Chi can still be indifferent when she sees the scars on her legs. At that time, even if the princess is pregnant, the prince will tolerate it for the time being, is there not a day when the autumn queen will settle accounts?

She waited like this for the end of the feast, and when Gao Chi came out of the hall, it was the time for her to change her fate.

After a while, in the pouring rain, a figure came out of the hall, and as the people got closer and closer, her eyes gradually widened.
