On the second day of King Mu's arrival in Beijing, he followed Zheng Shangshu of the household department to the early dynasty.

Among the princes, only the prince, the second prince, and the seventh prince can go to the court to listen to the government, and now the second prince is responsible for the emperor to think about it in the house, and the only princes who can go to the early dynasty are the prince and King Mu.

The direction of the wind in the middle of the court has changed, and even the remarks of the civil officials in the Jinluan Palace have been much less.

In the early morning of this day, under the eyes of the emperor, Yanfu shouted twice in a row, "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from the court", but no one in the court mentioned that the hot weather would lead to drought.

After the emperor returned to the south study, he directly shook over the cups handed by the palace people, and was furious: "Everyone takes the court's money, but they only care about personal affairs and don't ask for the people's lives, a group of rice buckets!

The eunuch and palace maid in the study knelt on the ground.

Yanfu knelt down and bowed, bowed down and said in fear: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, maybe the natural disaster has not happened yet, but the Qin Yu people are unpredictable prophets, so no one in the court mentioned the drought." ”

The emperor looked at the broken celadon tea cup on the ground, and his face was gloomy: "Let the guard commander Ning Muhua come to see me!"

Ning Mu drew into the study, and the emperor ordered him to sit behind the desk, and he had already calmed down: "Commander Ning, I have an urgent matter for you to do, this matter is related to the safety of the people of Dazhao and the hearts of the courtiers. ”

Ning Muhua knelt down and said: "The minister will definitely do his best, and then die." ”

The emperor then handed over Qin Yuren's letter to the eunuch directly to Ning Muhua: "I want you to leave immediately, rush to Jiangxia overnight, and see if this matter is as Qin Yuren said. The stakes are high, you must not reveal your identity, and if someone is secretly following you on the road, you should know what to do?"

Ning Muhua did not raise his head: "The minister knows, and the ministers must obey the emperor's will." ”

The emperor said "um", and asked the eunuch to send another lacquer gold token: "You hold this holy decree gold medal, see this order as if I came in person." ”

After Ning Muhua thanked him for receiving the order, he left directly and went back to the house to clean up a little, and when he was on the third watch at night, he took a henchman out of the capital.

Ning Shizi's departure from Beijing did not attract the attention of Youxin, and on the second day, Ning Bo's Mansion came with a leave of absence that Ning Muhua had broken his arm due to martial arts.

In the morning court for two consecutive days, Emperor Zhao's face was gloomy and terrible, especially many remarks made by cabinet minister Su Jixi were ruthlessly rejected by the emperor, and all the ministers in the court were panicked, and they all felt that the direction of the court was about to change.

King Mu returned to Beijing from Zixia Mountain this time, and originally had to feast the guests in King Mu's mansion because the mansion was still being repaired as an excuse, and because the banquet was postponed at this cusp, it seemed that there was a distant plan.

In such a subtle suspicion of the wind direction of the whole capital, the whole capital ushered in the birthday of the crown prince Yucheng.

Even if everyone knows that their relationship is not harmonious, but every year the prince's birthday will be held in the East Palace.

The prince's carelessness led to shyness, so he had to hand over all the banquet to the crown princess Su.

The Su family is the eldest daughter raised by the Su family, and she has been in charge of the Su Mansion for a long time before marrying the prince, and this prince's birthday banquet is also beautifully arranged.

There are many nobles in the capital, and the banquet is day after day, as long as you want, you can go to the mansions every day to participate in the banquet, and now because the prince's position in the court is stable, everyone dare not slack off at this birthday banquet, and arrived early.

Ji Yunliu said that she would be the prince's brother-in-law in the future, and she could only arrive early on this day.

The crown princess was thoughtful, and seeing that the weather was hot, she asked the little ladies to gather under the green shade of the flower stand in Sheung Shui Pavilion. The water pavilion is exquisite, and the ice basin is placed under the green trellis, which is as cool as autumn even on this hot day.

The little ladies laughed and chatted under the flower stand, and I don't know who came up with the idea of painting a poem to add to the fun of the summer heat.

In Dazhao, the gentleman learns the six arts, and the woman also wants to know the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and embroidery.

There are many banquets in Beijing, but there are not many opportunities to "become famous in one fight", like the eldest lady of the Tong family, the reason why she can be called the first beauty in the capital is not because at the queen's birthday banquet a year ago, she became famous because of the birthday words in her mouth?

Today's banquet in the East Palace, how many talented women have a good time to gain fame and fortune, and how to miss the reputation of the hard-working lady!

After a while, the maid of the East Palace came up with a square inkstone, a wolf pen and rice paper, and set up a long table under the shade of the book for the nobles to paint and write flowers.

The crown princess stood in front of her and said with a smile: "The lotus flowers are in full bloom in the garden today, and the little ladies will take the lotus as the theme.

The little ladies nodded and said yes.

After the crown princess finished the question, she went back to the West Flower Hall to greet the ladies of each family.

The little ladies are all ready to show off their skills.

When she pushed away the rice paper and held the pen, Su Sanniang turned her head and saw Ji Yunliu, who was sitting not far from herself, sitting under the grape trellis, eating an ice bowl.

There was no look of desire on her face, only calm and waveless, quite a bit of a clear and tall stand out from the crowd.

Su Sanniang turned her eyes and said with a funny smile: "Ji Liuniang, I still have a place here, why don't you come to me to paint?"

Before, because she was told the central matter by Qin Erniang, she went to the other courtyard with Mrs. Tong to relax, but she didn't want to see the scene of the Seventh Prince holding Ji Yunliu in Zixia Mountain and holding an umbrella for her...... Thinking that Ji Yunliu would marry the Seventh Prince in the future, and that the Seventh Prince would take care of her, the hatred in Su Sanniang's heart couldn't stop.

Ji Yunliu heard the voice, raised his head, and saw Su Sanniang who was looking at her with a pen in her hand, she stirred the ice almonds in the bowl twice, and smiled lightly: "No need, thank you Su Sanniang for your kindness." ”

Su Sanniang didn't put down the pen in her hand, she turned around, and her voice was a little louder: "In the eldest princess's mansion that day, even the emperor's holy decree said that the six ladies and the seventh prince were made in heaven, so the six ladies must be talented, today is rare, the six ladies might as well let us open our eyes and take a look at the six ladies' skillful hands." ”

As soon as these words came out, those little ladies who had already picked the wolf pen in their hands turned their heads to look at the future Seventh Emperor Princess, everyone really hadn't seen her talent.
