Chapter 238: The Princess's Test

At the opening of the pavilion door, four palace maids came out, each carrying a light gauze lantern, and then a female official in a purple shirt said: "Everyone has worked hard from afar, and the princess invites you to come into the Qingfeng Pavilion to serve tea." ”

Prince Zongzan: "Very good, very good, I drank a lot." In order to see the princess, what is the matter of walking a few more steps? What is the hard work or not, haha, haha!" In the midst of laughter, he stepped forward and strode into the pavilion from the side of the female official. The rest of the crowd rushed in, all trying to grab a good seat, and the closer to the princess, the better.

I saw a large hall in the pavilion, and there was a thick wool carpet on the ground, and the carpet was woven with colorful flowers, which were bright and dazzling. Small coffee tables are arranged in rows, and blue and white bowls are placed on them, and next to each bowl is a Tsing Yi plate, which is filled with cheese, cakes and other four-color dim sum. At the end of the hall, there is a platform three or four feet high, with a pale yellow carpet, and a **** round stool is placed on the platform. Everyone thought that this must be the princess's seat, and you pushed me and hugged me, and they all rushed to sit close to the platform. However, Duan Yu Song Yichen and Xiao Feng didn't grab it, sitting aside, Xiao Feng didn't think the tea was flavorful enough, so he asked Song Yichen to take out the wine and drink it, okay, the three of them drank the liquor at the blind date meeting.

After everyone sat down, the female official raised a small copper hammer, and struck three times on a white jade cloud board, the hall was silent, and the three two goods drank silently, and after a while, they only heard the ring of Ding Dong, and eight green-shirted palace maids walked out of the inner hall, and stood on both sides, and after a while, a girl in a light green shirt walked out with light steps. This girl has a slender figure, elegant manners, and a very beautiful appearance, Song Yichen knew that this was Li Qinglu's personal maid, and it seemed to be given to Duan Yu later.

The girl walked slowly onto the platform, bowed slightly, and saluted everyone. When she came in, everyone was already standing, and when they saw her bowing and saluting, they all bowed and returned the salute, and some people saw that they were only so humble and not half arrogant, and they praised it even more. The girl's eyes looked at her nose and her nose, and her eyes were never lazy and everyone was in touch, and she seemed very shy. After a long time, the girl's face turned red, and she said softly: "Her Royal Highness the princess instructed: You are from afar, Qingfeng guests are ashamed to have no good tea and delicious snacks to serve guests, it is very simple, please use some at will." ”

Everyone looked at each other, it turned out that she was not a princess, everyone thought she was a princess before, and they praised her a lot.

Prince Zongzan: "It turns out that you are not a princess, so please come quickly." I don't eat good wine and meat, how can I like to eat good tea and delicious snacks?"

The palace maid said: "After you have used tea, Her Royal Highness the princess has another instructions. ”

Zong Zan smiled: "Very good, very good, since Her Royal Highness the princess has an order, it is better to obey it." Lifting the bowl, uncovering the lid, on the side of the porcelain bowl, poured a bowl of tea with tea leaves into his mouth, swallowed the tea in one gulp, and kept chewing the tea leaves. The people of Tibet drink tea, add salt to the tea, and cheese, and even eat the tea juice and tea leaves. Before he finished swallowing the tea, he had already grabbed the four-color dim sum, quickly stuffed it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Okay, I will finish eating as ordered, and I can invite the princess out!" Everyone sneered at this stunned man.

The palace maid whispered, "Yes." But he didn't move his feet. Zong Zan knew that she was going to report after everyone else had finished eating, so she was so impatient that she couldn't stop urging: "Hey, everyone, eat quickly, work hard! Is it tea, what's the big deal?" Prince Zongzan: "Is this okay?"

The palace maid's face turned slightly red, her expression was shy, and she said, "Her Royal Highness the princess has invited all the guests to move to the inner study to watch the calligraphy and paintings. Zong Zan said "hehe": "What is so beautiful about calligraphy and painting? How can the beautiful women in the paintings be beautiful in real people? I can't touch them, I can't smell them, they are all fake." But he stood up.

The palace maid said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has an edict: all gentlemen who are over forty years old and have passed the age of confusion should stay here in the incense hall to rest and drink tea." For the rest of the guests, please go to the inner study. ”

But he heard Bao Wei and said loudly: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!"

The palace maid blushed again, she has been in the palace since she was a child. After a few years of age, he had only seen a eunuch who was half male and half female, and had never seen a real man, not even the emperor and the crown prince.

Bao said: "There are no high views, but there are some low views." "It seems that Bao is not the same as such a strong tongue, and the palace maid has never met it, and I don't know how to deal with it. Bao Wei continued: "I guess you must ask me: 'I don't know what this gentleman thinks of?' I see that you are shy, so it is better to avoid your question, and I will say it myself, that is."

The palace maid smiled and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Bao Wei said: "We have come all the way to see the princess, and there are many hardships on the road.

Some were buried in the desert of wind and sand, some died in the mouth of a lion kissing a tiger, and some were killed by the warriors under the prince of Tubo. Everyone just wants to see the princess's face, but now it is only because my father and mother gave birth to me a few years early, so that in the next year I will spend four years, and it will be all in vain. ”

The palace maid pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Bao said that he was joking, how can a person be born early and late, how can he be the winner of his own life?"

Zong Zan listened to Bao Wei's nagging, glared at him angrily, and shouted: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess has this edict, everyone obeys the order, what are you instigating?"

Bao Wei said coldly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I said this for your own good. You are forty-one years old, and though you are not very old, you are over forty years old, and you will not be able to see a princess. The day before yesterday, I told you my fortune, you are the eight characters of the year of Bingyin, the year of Gengzi, the day of Yichou, and the time of Ding Mao, and you are forty-one years old. "Prince Zongzan is actually only twenty-eight years old, but his face is full of beard, and it is difficult to estimate how old he is.

Song Yichen looked at the little girl embarrassed and said: "Otherwise, everyone's birthday is always remembered most clearly, after the age of forty, they will stay here, and if they are less than forty years old, they will go to the inner study, how about it?"

The palace maid immediately cast a grateful face at Song Yichen, and then said, "Just according to what Mr. said." ”

Zong Zan: "Very good, I haven't even reached the age of thirty, so I should go to the inner study." As he spoke, he strode into the inner hall.

Bao Wei learned his voice: "Very good, I haven't even reached the age of eighty, so I should go to the inner study." Although I am not confused when I am over the years, my personality is not confused, but I am very confused. He walked in in a flash. The palace maid wanted to stop her, but she didn't dare.

The rest of the crowd rushed in, not to mention those in their forties, and many in their fifties and sixties. Only a dozen dignified and well-behaved old men remained in the hall. Song Yichen, Duan Yu, and Xiao Feng also entered together.

The group walked through a long road, and they all secretly wondered in their hearts: "This Qingfeng Pavilion looks at it from the outside, and it doesn't necessarily look magnificent, how do you know that there is a world inside, it is such a big place."

After walking dozens of zhang long Yongdao, I came to two large stone gates. The palace maid took out a small piece of metal and knocked it on the stone door several times, and the stone door rolled open. After everyone entered the door, the stone gate slowly closed, and there was a long road in the mountain, with oil lamps burning on the stone walls on both sides. After walking the Yongdao, it was another stone gate, guarding the stone gate, and it was the Yongdao again, and three big stone gates were passed in succession. At this time, even the most casual people were a little apprehensive. After turning a few more corners, I suddenly heard the sound of the water murmuring, and came to a deep stream.

It is unbelievable to suddenly see such a deep stream in the Forbidden Palace. Everyone looked at each other, some of them were grumpy, and they were almost about to have a seizure.

The palace maid said: "If you want to go to the inner study, you have to pass through this Youlan Stream, everyone, please." As he spoke, he swung his delicate body and stepped towards the deep stream. There were four bright torches lit beside the stream, and everyone could see that she fell into the stream with this step, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

How do you know that the palace maid has a graceful figure, and she walked over from the stream in a graceful manner. Song Yichen followed behind, too lazy to wait for the others to get up, and then lightly borrowed force on the rope, and got up again and came to the opposite side. Everyone was shocked by his hand. The palace maid asked, "May I ask your surname, sir?"

"Don't have your surname Song. Song Yichen said.

"But the Palace Master of the Vulture Palace, Mr. Song?" the palace maid's eyes lit up.

Song Yichen nodded, and the two chatted for a while, and the others had already walked over. The palace maid pressed on the bracket beside the rock, and she heard a loud sound, and the steel wire immediately shrank into the grass, and she did not know where to go, and then said, "Please all come here." Then he led everyone through a large bamboo forest, and came to a cave door, where the palace maid knocked a few times, and the cave door opened. He said "Please!" and walked in first

After passing through a corridor in the cave, there was a sudden light in front of them, and everyone was already in a hall. This hall is more than three times larger than the incense hall where tea was drunk before, and it is obviously a natural cave in the mountain peak, plus a huge artificial decoration. The walls of the hall are polished very smooth, and calligraphy and paintings are hung everywhere. Generally, there are damp water droplets in the cave, but this place is unusually dry, and the calligraphy and paintings are hanging between the walls, and there is no sign of dampness. There is a large desk of rosewood on the side of the hall, and there are four treasures of the study room, tablet antiques, and several bookshelves, three or four stone benches and stone tables. The palace maid said: "This is the inner study room of the princess palace, please feel free to watch the calligraphy and paintings." ”

Everyone began to pretend, and people who didn't know calligraphy began to look like I knew how to do it. There are also some people who are wondering if this is a trap, Duan Yu and Song Yichen are not panicked at all, if there is danger, Song Yichen will not come in, just hug this thigh, Duan Yu has always loved calligraphy and painting, and he is also beginning to watch it at this moment.
