In his previous life, Qin Su had participated in too many palace banquets, and the so-called palace banquet, if there was no trouble coming out, could it still be called a palace banquet? Even the flower banquet or tea banquet held by the scholar family was often made a little quiet, not to mention a large banquet with such a large number of people?

"I'll get off the boat later, I'm going to go ahead and have a look. His Royal Highness the Ninth can also be at his own convenience. Qin Su's mouth was speaking officially, while observing the situation around him.

The appearance of the four singing and dancing boats obviously attracted the attention of the vast majority of people, and everyone enjoyed the singing and dancing in the boats, but not many people on Qin Su's side went to see it. Because of this, the whisper between her and Li Xuandu was not looked at by others.

As for Bai Fanghua and the others, they don't care so much.

Her Royal Highness the princess and the prince of Chen Guo had a good conversation, which was not a big deal. Among the palace people who followed Qin Su, more than half of them were staring at the colorful boat in front of them at this moment, how could they hear what Qin Su said?

Hearing her words, Li Xuandu nodded and whispered, "Your Highness, be careful." On the other hand, he sped up the speed of the penny.

Even though Qin Su didn't say it, he still understood her intentions, and he helped vigorously at this time.

Qin Su nodded to him gratefully and said no more.

Soon, there were several temporary wharves on the waterfront, and the lights near the wharf were bright and bright as day, and the large painting boat that Emperor Zhongyuan was riding was already moored on the shore.

Li Xuandu quickly moved the boat to the shore, found a nearby dock to dock the boat, and helped Qin Su off the boat with great grace, Fang smiled and said: "Thank you princess for being in the same boat with me, this is my honor." ”

Qin Su bent down with the shelf, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness is very good at handling boats, and I am also very lucky. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Li Xuandu bowed slightly and left with the servant.

Qin Su didn't have the heart to think about anything else at this time, so he immediately turned to Bai Fanghua and said with a smile: "This lively tonight is interesting, there are many places to play, there are river lanterns at the end, there is a stage in front of the singer singing, and there is a riddle building and juggling empty field, you will go to the naughty, I will take Ah Li around, and I will be relaxed and relaxed." ”

Bai Fanghua had already figured out Qin Su's temperament, and at this time, he was only obedient to orders, and soon took the people of Yiying Palace away.

Qin Su looked around and saw that all the guests around her were coming down from the painting boat, so she glanced at Ah Li.

Ah Li nodded quietly, helped her hide under the shadow of the tree on the other side, and walked briskly along the willow forest on the opposite side of the lake.

Emperor Zhongyuan and his entourage got off the boat early, and at this time they were walking towards a large colorful shed located in a spacious place on the riverside, which was lit with a number of octagonal tassel palace lamps inside and outside, and the dragon and phoenix patterns were depicted on it, which was gorgeous and dazzling.

Qin Su followed the group of people from a distance, scanning his gaze back and forth a few times, but he never saw the figure of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he didn't know where he went.

She couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and looked back and forth a few more times, and after making sure that the prince was not among them, she stopped and stood with her eyebrows.

There was a hustle and bustle of singing and dancing around, laughter and laughter, the colorful skirts and golden hairpins of the scholars and the brocade robes and jade crowns of the gentlemen, flickering back and forth under the lights and shadows, and I don't know how much more lively than the above.

It's just that Qin Su has no intention of this excitement at this time.

After standing for a while, she asked Ah Li in a low voice, "Where is the place where Yan Xi is located?"

With so many people participating in the night tour, there must always be a few places for rest, so that no one really gets drunk and makes a fool of himself.

Ah Li thought about it when he heard this, then raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the Yulu Palace, and said, "It's in the Yulu Palace." As he spoke, he drew his hand outward for half a circle, and continued: "There are also seven or eight small halls around, all of which have clean rooms and resting places. The white female eunuch said that the Yulu Hall was for the female dependents, and the rest of the small halls were reserved for the male guests. ”

Qin Su nodded slightly, and looked in the direction of her finger, but saw that the halls, including the Yulu Palace, were all dimly lit, just like the end of the star river, gradually evacuated.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwell, he will go there to rest if he wants to.

After pondering for a while, Qin Su asked again, "Is there a place specially prepared for me or the imperial brothers?"

"Yes. Ah Li nodded, turned around and pointed to the big color shed where Emperor Zhongyuan and the others were, and said softly: "There are several extremely clean elegant rooms there, which are specially prepared for Your Majesty and His Royal Highness. ”

"I see. Qin Su looked at the colorful shed thoughtfully for a while, and then withdrew his gaze.

If what she expected was right, the crown prince Guo Yuanzhou must be looking for a place to sober up at this moment, and the rest place he chose would definitely not be in the color shed.

He was already drunk like that, and if everyone saw him drunk, he would definitely cause gossip again, and Emperor Zhongyuan would definitely dislike it. Therefore, Guo Yuanzhou will definitely find a remote hall, quietly sober up and come back.

Thinking like this, Qin Su tugged at Ah Li's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go to the Yulu Palace." ”

Ah Li had a tacit understanding with her, and when he heard this, he didn't ask much, bowed silently, and helped her turn onto the road leading to the Yulu Palace.

Qin Su is wearing a dark dress today, the edge of the placket and skirt are inlaid with a wide color phoenix pattern crimson wide edge, walking in the sparsely lit place, this black dress can almost blend with the night, but it has a good hiding effect.

Relying on this black clothes, Qin Su walked through the willow forest, avoiding everyone's sight.

The willow forest is not dense, but it is very long, stretching all the way to the direction of the Yulu Palace, but it is planted according to the palace road, and the willows on the riverside are facing each other. If you walk in the middle of the day, the weeping willows on both sides of the road are clinging, but the scenery is excellent.

Qin Su carefully avoided the crowd and walked along the woods.

The further down you go, the thinner the crowds become, even if the lights on both sides of the palace road are not reduced, but there is a feeling of desertion. And when you walk to the section of the road that goes directly to the Yulu Palace, the palace road is empty, except for a few small palace people standing by the road, all of them are holding their breath, as if there is nothing.

When she arrived here, Qin Su came out of the willow forest, beckoned a small palace person, and asked her with a pleasant face, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming here?"

When the little palace people saw that the princess was here, they hurriedly replied: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed gone to the front." ”

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

Qin Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That is the case, you lead the way, I will go to talk to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The people of the small palace had the responsibility of leading the way, and when they heard this, they had no objections, and after getting up, they walked in front, leading Qin Su and the others to the path on the left side of the Yulu Palace.
