At the beginning of the first day of the first month of May, the teahouses, restaurants, shops, and merchants along the street are selling Dragon Boat Festival "festivals" everywhere, "selling peach branches and wicker, sunflower calamus, mugwort rice wine, and colorful wisps to avoid plague fans~", and the high-pitched selling voice was mixed with gossip about Princess Muyang.

Someone said, "This Dragon Boat Festival Yulan Festival, if anyone doesn't know about Princess Muyang, they will definitely be laughed off." This is no exaggeration.

King Muyang and the princess have a deep affection, and almost everyone knows about these days, from the ancient old man to the children in the general horn. Because of the loss of his son, Muyang Wang Xiu Mu was at home, and every day he took the princess Shen Xiaone to play outside the county capital, and did not shy away from it, buying in various markets with great fanfare.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, the common people of Wang Sun and the nobles of the merchants all picked wormwood and hung it at the door to block the poisonous gas; the neem leaf plug was tied to the arm with a colorful rope to dispel the disease and plague; the horn millet was covered with gold, the cattails were green, and the boats were thrown into the river to hang Qu Ping.

Because King Muyang's thoughtfulness to the princess has not decreased but increased, so that the noblewomen and noblewomen in Beijing who originally planned to see Shen Xiaone's jokes were disappointed, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the women who were going to do a good job at the family banquet in various mansions to talk about Princess Muyang looked at each other at this time and couldn't help but sigh.

The woman who has a daughter who has not yet left the cabinet is melancholy how such an excellent man is not the son-in-law of their family; the woman who has no woman to marry in the family, the young resentment of how she has not found such a husband who knows cold and hot, although the older one praises the good fortune of the Shen family on her face, but she remembers in her heart whether there are unmarried women in her clan who are of the right age, and the imperial doctor has already said that Princess Muyang has injured her body and may not be able to have children for some years, just to allow other people's families to stuff people in the palace.

Even if the people are very strict in the etiquette of the Gaomen Mansion, they can still talk about this matter, but when they get to the forbidden courtyard of the palace, they can only talk about some wind and snow to avoid this topic.

This year, I don't know why the Holy One has to set up a family banquet on this day, saying that the family gathers at will to be lively and lively, but it is difficult to force a smile in such a calm environment.

Qi Caicai glanced at the few concubines and princesses present, and then counted the newly-born three princes who were quiet in the corner of Jiang Guifei's eyes, and then glanced at the prince and Muyang Wang, Jiang Taifu and Xiao Taishi who were sitting opposite each other, Xiao Weiyu who was absent-minded, and Shen Shangshu who was sitting at the bottom with a careful smile. Qi Caicai sighed, the saint gathered such a table of people, and the smoke was billowing out.

Many of the women here have had a bad time this year, whether it is Concubine Chen, who is in the power of the mother's family, or Jiang Guifei, who is thinking about the posteriority, Shen Xiaone, who has lost her beloved son, and Jiang Luxian, who has been neglected, after this year, they have become difficult to recognize.

Concubine Chen's sharp edge, her temperament is becoming more and more demure, Jiang Guifei is still beautiful, and the coercion is even more than before, Princess Muyang has no joy or sorrow, only when she looks at King Muyang, her facial expression is lively, Jiang Lu has been cultivated in the East Palace for a year, although her demeanor cannot be said to be flawless, but the scholar is elegant and looks like seven or eight points.

Of course, except for the crown princess Qi Caicai.

The great change in the temperament of married women is nothing more than because of unsatisfactory life or disharmony between husband and wife, and the women in the palace are more betrayed by the same sex, family and friendship, and master-servant friendship.

However, Qi Caicai was well protected by the owner of the East Palace, and this year, as long as Qi Caicai no longer went to the fireworks and wine shop like before, and did not avoid the shadow guard and acted alone, the prince could help her. At the age of ten and four, Qi Caicai loves to play and has a big heart, and every day he goes to the small courtyard where Qin weeps during the day, and has a lot of fun with Chu'er and Jin Zhu's incarnation of Pianpian Gongzi, and every time he returns to the East Palace when the sun is westward.

Compared with the previous etiquette and forced pretending to be a lady, Qi Caicai loves such a unrestrained day. Since getting acquainted with Qin Wai, a confidant, Qi Caicai feels that her luck has improved, and the prince will not hinder her from going to Qin Wai, the affairs of the East Palace are in charge of the bandits, and Concubine Jiang is no longer dangling in front of her, so comfortable that she seems to be in Shuofang County.

Only felt that she owed the prince a favor, and she also knew how much the prince sacrificed in the matter of the Qian family, and she was very moved, thinking that the prince treated their Qi family well, so that the only descendant of the Qi family would not be punished for the bastard surnamed Qian, but she never attributed the prince's good to the feelings between them. So during the year, Qi Caicai would go out every day and bring some neighborhood gadgets to the prince, not because of how delicate it was, but because of that heart.

To say that Concubine Jiang has been prevaricated by the prince on the grounds that "Mr. Qian's hidden illness has not been cured, and a gentleman should keep his promise", I don't know what the prince said to her, this Concubine Jiang not only went to her aunt Jiang Guifei to complain, but also settled down to learn etiquette.

So far, the East Palace has two heroines, Qi Caicai and Jiang Luxian, the princess and the prince have a harmonious relationship, and the side concubine is also quiet, one of these two heroines is absent all day, and the other is studying behind closed doors, and the beauty of the East Palace is like a paradise.

"The Holy Lord has arrived—the Queen Mother has arrived—"

The eunuch's high-pitched tone dragged Qi Caicai, who was smirking, back to reality, Xu is really too comfortable this year, she can be distracted in this environment, Qi Caicai hurriedly straightened his posture and got up to greet the holy driver, but he stepped on his skirt and almost fell, but fortunately, he reacted quickly after practicing martial arts, and he took a steady bow and leg in a side step.

"Snort. There was a sneer from the side, and Qi Caicai didn't need to look at it to know that it was Jiang Luxian.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, even if they came to the palace by car at different times, they didn't have time to say anything at the moment, and the emperor and the queen mother arrived at the palace one after the other.

"Your Majesty is blessed, and the Queen Mother is a millennium. ”

A harmonious sound.

"Raid Yun, go and arrange for her to come up. ”

Raid Yunshang Palace dressed in jujube red palace clothes, hair combed meticulously, listen to the emperor's words, exit the hall, after a while the hall will go out a few palace lights, the light instantly dimmed, the tactful piano sounded, a woman dressed in colorful clothes stepped on the beat, step by step lotus, with a silver bell on the ankle, with the pace of jingling, when the music turned fast when the line reached the center of the hall, the sound of the pipa penetrated into the piano sound like a pearl and jade down the plate, the woman also turned like the wind from this moment, so far many people know that the woman danced the Hu Xuan dance, but the woman's figure suddenly put softer, the foot rotation overlap unchanged, has been draped on the shoulders of the Jiao yarn from the arm dance out of the cloud pattern flowing water, Her feet also suddenly lit up with light, a five-color lotus lamp will wrap her around the center, the five poisons can be seen in the flow of lights, in the dense music of the woman will Jiaosha dance into a lotus, I thought that the rhythm would speed up again, how to think that the music stopped abruptly, the buds bloomed, the yarn swept the lanterns, and the hall was dark again.
