Chapter 345: The Song of the Warbler and the Dance of the Swallows

Xiao Xiang and Aunt Hong waited until the next evening to wait for an opportunity to slip out. As soon as the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info out of the palace gate, after a little inquiry, he found the new mansion of the King of Beijing in Ling'an Beijing.

The new mansion is located in the northeast corner of the imperial city, far from the residence of the Chinese military minister of the dynasty. It is surrounded by some literati and some wealthy merchants, and it is the most famous gathering place of wealth and nobility in Ling'an.

In the evening, the lanterns are on, a few octagonal palace lamps painted with unicorns have been picked up in front of the palace of the king of Beijing, a long line of gorgeous carriages has been lined up at the door, and the servants greet the endless stream of guests with smiling faces.

Aunt Hong walked to the door and called a familiar servant and asked, "What day is today, why is the palace so lively?" ”

The manservant looked up and looked closely, and his eyes lit up: "Aunt Hong!" Hey, you're not—"

"Say it! What's going on? Xiao Xiang, who was dressed in a palace dress next to Aunt Zhan Hong, asked impatiently.

"Oh, isn't it a good day for our royal wedding tomorrow, those carriages outside the door today are the ministers of the court and the central government, and some of the prince's old relatives. In the past few days, people have come early every morning, and they have been busy for several days, and they all come in advance to congratulate them. ”

Xiaoxiang and Aunt Hong glanced at each other, both of them looked a little unsightly, one was uneasy, the other was swaying upward, in short, there was something bad in their hearts.

Aunt Hong called a little maid to lead the way, and the two went directly to the garden to find Xiao Yu.

Xiao Xiang was carrying a lantern next to him, and Xiao Xiang hesitantly followed Aunt Hong to the palace. Walking through the tree-lined garden of the water pavilion on the terrace, you can hear the laughter and laughter on the side of the water pavilion in the garden from a distance.

Xiao Xiang stopped, her eyes were faint, her long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and she sneered at Aunt Hong: "Your prince must have been busy during this time." So many dignitaries and dignitaries came to congratulate him in advance, and he accompanied the guests every day to socialize, how could he take care of the affairs of our young lady. I don't think I'm going to see him anymore, lest I'm bored! As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the garden.

Aunt Hong hurriedly pulled Xiaoxiang's sleeves and said softly: "Why did you follow your young lady's temper!" Finally got out of the palace, this is all to the palace, why don't you go to meet Prince Yu and ask him what he is going to do! ”

Xiao Xiang bit her lip and followed Aunt Hong to the water pavilion sullenly.

The water pavilion was brightly lit, and a row of musicians dressed in colorful clothes and holding orchestral silk bamboos played melodious tunes, and the singers sang in a melodious voice like a nightingale and a low tune.

Outside the water pavilion, there are two painting boats, countless richly dressed figures are staggered in the painting boat, blessings and compliments, persuasion of wine, humble resignation, laughter and coaxing - the scene is very lively, and neither of them can see which figure is Xiao Yu.

Xiao Xiang didn't know anything about music scores, but she felt that the scene of singing and dancing in front of her compared to her own lady's situation in the palace made her feel extremely ironic. She stood outside the water pavilion in a daze, her heart was cold, and she didn't want to take another step forward.

Aunt Hong pulled Xiaoxiang and didn't move, she had to call a little girl to take her to see Xiao Yu, and let Xiaoxiang stand outside the pavilion.

The maids in the garden were busy adding wine and preserved fruits to the water pavilion painting boat, and the girls and maids who kept coming and going whispered, and their words occasionally fell into Xiao Xiang's ears:

"Hey, isn't that the girl next to Miss Jiang? How did she end up here? A young girl said.

The other elder sighed, "Don't mention Miss Jiang in the future, after tomorrow, the prince will marry Miss Luo." ”

"Married by the emperor himself, and the daughter of our Nan Chen Zaifu, with such a background background, how can she compare with Miss Jiang ······"

"That's right, besides, the Jiang girl doesn't know where to hide—"

I heard a middle-aged manservant urging in the distance: "Be quick with your hands and feet, you have to be busy in the palace these two days, find more people to rush to work at night, and carefully arrange everywhere in the garden to be festive." There are also new red lanterns, which places in the garden need to be hung, take a closer look early, and then there will be a ······"

Xiao Xiang's heart was cold when she heard this, her head was buzzing, and she was angry, she stomped her feet and turned around, and walked out of the garden again.

Aunt Hong strode over and called Xiaoxiang. Xiao Xiang's figure stopped stiffly. Aunt Hong came over and lowered her voice and said, "I have already met Lord Yu. He reassured us, and he said that a decree had been passed down in the palace that he would have a wedding and enter the palace the day after tomorrow, and that he would go to pay homage to the concubine—"

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Xiang jumped up, glared at Aunt Hong angrily and shouted: "Don't say it, I know everything!" I knew that Nan Chen didn't have a good person! ”

When a sentence was spoken, the tail note trembled, Xiaoxiang raised the back of her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes, and sneered at herself while retreating: "I have admired my young lady so much in the past few years, I think she is smart, resolute, courageous and knowledgeable!" Now I know that I was wrong, it turns out that she is a big fool and a big fool just like me! She is even more stupid, and she can't even distinguish between good guys and bad guys·······"

Xiao Xiang flew out of the palace as she spoke, and her body was so fast that Aunt Hong couldn't react for a while. Aunt Hong stood in the night, only "eh-" a sound. was stunned for a long time, so he had to turn around and go to the painting boat again to talk to Xiao Yu.

There are two painting boats, one is full of friends, and the other is docking.

There were only Yun Tong and Xiao Yu on the painting boat on the shore. Xiao Yutuo was drunk and was supported by two little guys. Yun Tong was apologizing to the guests, accompanying him carefully, and followed Xiao Yu to the shore.

Aunt Hong greeted her, and without waiting for Xiao Yu to steady her words, she said: "Xiaoxiang ran away without listening to me." Then I learned what Xiao Xiang said.

"She must have misunderstood." Xiao Yu's tall figure blocked the lights on the painting boat behind him, and the backlit face could see a dull and depressed expression even in the night.

"Well, this girl is also an impatient—" He sighed and pursed his lips, pushing away the two little men who were supporting him, and stood quietly in the night.

The melodious silk and bamboo in the water pavilion float with the singing:

The red lotus fragrance remnants of jade in autumn, lightly dissolve Luo Shang, and go on the Lanzhou alone.

Who in the clouds sent the brocade book? When the swallow word returns, the moon is full in the west building.

The flowers float and the water flows freely. One lovesickness, two sorrows.

There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned and went back to my heart.

------------------------------------------------------------

Xiao Xiang returned to the gate of the imperial city, stood cross-waisted, and stared at the guards guarding the city, confronting each other.

Xiao Xiang knew at this time that it was not easy to get out of the palace, and it was even more difficult to enter again - the palace had already learned that the two had absconded from the palace, and there were additional manpower guards inside and outside the imperial city, and dozens of checkpoints inside and outside were heavily checked.

Xiaoxiang came back and was hitting the tuyere.

But she had no fear. Her eyes that had just cried were slightly red, and she stared at a pair of rabbit eyes and hated words: "Let me in!" ”

"Which palace are you in, why don't you have a token when you leave the palace?"

"I've told you eight hundred times, I sneaked out of Ningxi Palace. Without a token, I'm going to the palace! Xiao Xiang crossed her waist with one hand, and her tone and demeanor were arrogant.

It must be someone who has some power in the palace who can be so arrogant, and the guards confronted her, secretly speculating in their hearts. But the rules can't be disobeyed. The guards were waiting, waiting for the people who had entered the palace to return to the gate of the imperial city to report the news.

Xiao Xiang had nowhere to vent her stomach, and was about to roar again, when the guards who entered the palace to inquire came back and said to those guarding the gate of the imperial city: "Yes." Ningxi Palace ran two people. One of them is probably her. ”

The guards with swords and spears on both sides retreated, and Xiao Xiang walked towards the palace in a rage.
