Holding Yaoling's hand and walking out of the gate of the Xuanwang Mansion, Yan Di had prepared the carriage, after the two got into the carriage, Yan Di shook the whip and the carriage drove quickly to the palace, through the window of the car Yao Ling saw an old woman on the side of the road selling rouge gouache looking at the carriage, perhaps because it was blown by the wind, and there were a little tears in her eyes.

After watching the carriage go away, the old woman's stall closed and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

Today's palace is full of festive atmosphere, according to custom, today the emperor not only has to feast civil and military officials, but also to all the palace people who are on errands in the palace to reward Laba porridge, but also to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, thank God for giving people five grains and six animals. Therefore, among all the festivals in a year, Laba is the most lively.

According to the custom, on this day, the emperor led the civil and military officials to worship the queen of heaven in the front hall to invite the court officials with official products, and the queen mother feasted the relatives with titles in the weaving and spinning pavilion in the backyard of the palace. And the concubine Niangniang was in the Ninghua Hall in the back garden, feasting those young Houmen daughters and your princes, in fact, it was also a chance for those Houmen daughters and your princes to get acquainted. As soon as he entered the palace gate, a little father-in-law with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes hurriedly greeted him and said to Fengzhao: "Lord Ningjun, Your Majesty ordered you to go to the front hall, Princess Rongyu and Concubine Niangniang said that you will go to Qingli Palace first." ”

"You go first, I'll look for you later," Feng Zhao said softly to Yaoling. Yaoling nodded, looking at the wind and light, her heart was full of joy, all her moods were with the wind, the wind was happy, the wind was sad, she was sad.

Seeing the back of Fengzhao following her little father-in-law, she turned around and said to the little palace maid standing next to her, "Take me to Qingli Palace." ”

Walking through one palace after another, passing through one painting boat and one corridor after another, just after passing a moon gate, he ran into Qin Min without thinking, followed by a few Houmen daughters, and a bunch of people chattered over.

Qin Min also saw the oncoming Yao Ling, and his arrogant face showed a polite smile: "Princess Rongyu is already the future princess of the prince of Ningjun, why do you still want to come to the banquet in the palace?"

"Jingle bell" A bell rang out of nowhere, and the daughters of the Houmen hurriedly smiled and involuntarily leaned behind Miss Qin. A sneer swept over Yaoling's beautiful big eyes.

"I'm going to Qingli Palace to meet the concubine Niangniang, Sister Qin, are you going to Ninghua Palace? I just passed by there, there are a lot of people, I originally wanted to go in and have a look, but when I came to Qingli Palace, the prince of Ningjun told me that he would come over and take me to the Ninghua Palace in a while, saying that he would take me to see those daughters of the Hou Mansion who were thinking about climbing high branches. The faint words contained a faint smile.

"You" The daughters of the Hou Mansion all looked gloomy.

Qin Min's face also changed.

"Oh, but Sister Qin" Suddenly she smiled brightly: "Why do you want to go to Ninghua Palace? You are the crown princess designated by the queen mother." You don't need to go there again, do you?"

Qin Min's face darkened again, and a trace of anger crossed her beautiful shrewd eyes, and then disappeared without a trace after a while.

"I followed the queen's mother's side, and I heard that the flowers raised in the warm pavilion of Ninghua Hall are blooming, so I came to watch. She said haughtily and coldly.

"That's the case, then I won't bother you, I have to rush to see the concubine Niangniang. With that, she smiled sweetly, waved her hand at Miss Qin, and walked forward briskly. Turning around to look at Yaoling's back, there was some gloom and faint jealousy in Miss Qin's delicate and arrogant face.

"Look at how princess she looks. The ladies next to him began to chatter one after another.

"I heard that she grew up in the people, and she was recognized by King Jiang Li and named a princess before she came to the imperial capital. The young lady who spoke pursed her perfectly drawn red lips with disdain.

"Don't say it, she is good at martial arts, haven't you seen her last time at the Chrysanthemum Show where she saved the emperor and the concubine, it's so powerful, don't let him hear it." He looked frightened.

"Where is she good, that King Ning Jun is so infatuated with her. A face full of envy, jealousy, hatred.

Yao Ling listened to the whispers coming from behind her, and couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in her heart, a bunch of stinky ladies. With a flick of their hand, a bell flew silently from their shoulders to the back, popping softly on the pillars above their heads.

A faint fragrance spread, and no one noticed the soft sound, but a young lady said, "What kind of incense is this, who sprinkled such incense powder?"

The corners of Yaoling's mouth tugged at a smug smile, "Hmph, dare to laugh at me." ”

"Princess Rongyu is going to see her mother?" A faint and gentle male voice came from the oblique thorn, and he turned his head sideways, and saw Feng Ze walking from the left side of the corridor with a little father-in-law, still dressed in blue and white brocade clothes, with an elegant and warm temperament. There was still a faint and gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and his handsome eyes seemed to inadvertently look behind Yaoling's head.

"Hehe, are you going to the front hall?" Yao Ling hurriedly leaned her body and blocked Feng Ze's vision with her hands behind her back.

"Yes, the ritual of worshipping the heavens is about to begin. Retracting his gaze, Feng Ze looked at Yao Ling, a smile crossed his eyes, Yao Ling couldn't help but be stunned, the smile in Feng Ze's eyes contained a kind of understanding.

"Hee-hee, go ahead then," she smiled. This wind seems to be as light as water, but he always feels that his eyes can penetrate a false thing.

Looking at Feng Ze's distant back, Yao Ling flashed her big eyes, looked at Feng Ze who was fluttering away, and didn't know what she was thinking?

"It's weird. She muttered to herself and walked towards Qingli Palace. It didn't take much effort for her to arrive at Qingli Palace.

At this time, Chang Ruoli had already cleaned up and was waiting for Yaoling, and she never saw all kinds of activities in the palace in previous years. This year, when Feng Qing came to Qingli Palace and asked her if she was willing to preside over the Laba banquet of the young people in the palace, she readily agreed, and Feng Qing was happy for several days.

"Yaoling meets the concubine. Standing in front of Chang Ruoli, she saluted lightly.

looked at Yao Ling who saluted in front of him, and Chang Ruoli's beautiful eyes flashed with brightness that had not appeared for a long time.

"Yaoling, come," she took Yaoling's hand, and after motioning for all the palace people to stand down, she looked at Yaoling carefully.

"We have a really good eye. She said in a low voice, gently took Yaoling's hand and came to the exquisite dresser in the hall, reached out and took out a brocade box from the cabinet drawer under the dresser, and after opening the brocade box, a set of Phalaenopsis jewelry inlaid with pearls, red, sapphire, and silver beads of extremely exquisite and delicate workmanship shone with dazzling light.

Qianqian Su picked up a phalaenopsis hairpin in the brocade box, gently pinned Yaoling to her hair, and straightened Yaoling's face and looked at it carefully. "Mother, I can't ask for it. Yaoling pushed back. I really like this beautiful set of jewelry.

Chang Ruoli motioned to her not to refuse, "This is a set of phalaenopsis jewelry specially made for me by the prince on Zhao'er's fifth birthday, but I haven't had time to wear it yet" She didn't say the latter words.

After a while, she said softly: "Originally, I should have given you a gift when I saw you for the first time, but Zhao'er left me since childhood, and I owe him too much." ”

"Mother, you don't owe him, no matter what, now he finally sees you. There was some sadness and gloom in his eyes as he spoke.

Seeing the gloom in Yaoling's eyes, Chang Ruoli understood in her heart that everything about Yaoling had told her.

Gently shook Yaoling's shoulder, and the two fell silent for a while.
