Only then did Shen Hanyue know that this county lord was actually the daughter of the eldest princess. Then she must know if Ah Yi will come? Would you like to ask directly? After such a momentary hesitation, the county lord of An Ning had already turned around and walked towards the subordinates who were looking for her over there.

Shen Hanyue, who missed the opportunity, was a little lost, her eyes were lowered, and she didn't speak.

"You go to the third sister first, I'll go to look for you when I'm done." Shen Jue meant that when his matter was over, let her go back to the Shen Mansion with him.

Shen Hanyue didn't object, because by the time he found the little prince, she already knew who would come to the banquet in Jingyang Houfu.

She led Xiaohui back to her previous courtyard, where a table of delicious food was already filled.

Later, the guests enjoyed the flowers, drank and chatted. And the ladies who perform can only take turns on the stage to make beautiful scenery, so the eldest princess will not neglect everyone, since she first arranges for them to pad their stomachs, it is impossible for people to be hungry and bitter on stage, right?

"Sister Yue, come and eat something!" Shen Ayao shouted happily when she saw her return.

Aunt Ruan greeted her and brought Shen Hanyue to the front of the table: "Miss, try it, I heard that the eldest princess arranged the imperial chef to take charge, and we usually can't eat these." ”

Shen Hanyue took the chopstick and picked up a piece of Kung Pao chicken into the bowl. Shen Ayao began to pick up the bowl and eat it in small bites. The two young ladies moved, Aunt Ruan sat down solemnly, eating symbolically, since she hit the Shen Mansion, Aunt Ruan was cautious, she rarely went out, she was afraid that if she was not careful, she would lose face to the Shen Mansion, which made the Yang family displeased and Shen Ayao displeased.

Shen Hanyue sighed secretly, now that her father is back, what will her father do about the incident in Prince Su's Mansion? Or is it that Yang's illness has been lifted without moving? She didn't dare to ask her father directly, anyway, she was going to move the house, and now looking at her father's meaning, he should move there with her.

It's just that Aunt Ruan's side seems to be afraid that the Yang family has become a habit, even if the Yang family can't be arrogant during this time, she still doesn't dare to offend at all. Originally, Shen Hanyue also thought about letting her father lead Aunt Ruan over when she moved the house, but if this Zijin was not simple, and Shen Ayao herself was not a simple and thoughtless master, this alone made her break this thought.

"People say that King Chong doesn't like women, how can he choose a side concubine tonight?" Shen Hanyue spit out a sentence lightly while eating.

Shen Ayao, who was silent and very educated, trembled slightly with her hand. Shen Hanyue's estimate was right, Shen Ayao's thoughts of wanting to climb high branches were even hidden from her aunt, did she say that she was too assertive, or did she look down on her own mother?

Aunt Ruan snorted for a moment, and finally asked, "Miss, what do you mean...... Are you choosing a side concubine for His Royal Highness King Chong at night? ”

Shen Hanyue nodded, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said, "Well, I'm afraid that the concubines will also choose a few, I met the eldest brother just now, and he came to find the little prince." ”

"This year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is like this...... No wonder there are male guests ......" Aunt Ruan became apprehensive, her expression was a little flustered, and her eyes flashed as if she was thinking about something?

Seeing this, Shen Ayao got up and took her hand and said, "Auntie come out with me." ”

Aunt Ruan had something to persuade her, but when she saw Shen Ayao mention yì like this, she immediately walked out with her.

Shen Hanyue shook her head, the result of the mother and daughter going out could only be Aunt Ruan obediently listening to her daughter's words, and then continuing to be by her side honestly. Daughter slave, daughter slave, who to blame? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

After a while, when Shen Hanyue finished eating, the mother and daughter had already returned, Shen Ayao continued to eat casually, and Zijin next to her was holding hot soup, and when the masters had all finished eating, Xiaohui and Zijin began to fill their stomachs beside them.

Xiao Hui didn't move, and "accidentally" swept the Zijin bowl off the table, but the instinctive reaction of the people was very agile, and the eyes didn't need to look, and the hand had already caught it steadily.

This scene was seen by Shen Hanyue's afterglow, and he already knew it. At this time, the outside began to be lively, the bell rang, and the banquet began.

Shen Ayao became a little cramped and uneasy, and her forehead began to sweat finely, and her face in front of the bronze mirror was very unnatural.

Shen Hanyue paid attention to the movement outside, those young ladies who had appeared on stage early had already left the wing, and the warblers and swallows, some were enchanting and some were pure, in short, they were competing to bloom and show their own merits.

The night is lively enough, presumably the legendary Chongwang, his eyes will pick flowers, right?

***

The moon goes out to sea, and the lights are on

In the magnificent imperial city, the buildings with nine ridges and heavy eaves are staggered, and on the straight palace road, Mo Yun and Qian Wu wore brocade clothes and walked to the East Palace. They came to the prince's study, waited at the foot of the white marble steps for a while, and waited for the head of the East Palace, Father-in-law, to finish speaking, and then they all walked into the study.

Chu Yao likes to read, so it is more appropriate to say that this is a study room, rather than a library. He spends most of his time here throughout the year, and as long as he is inside, the central Sanding smoker will emit a faint green smoke, burning his usual purple sandalwood.

Mo Yun and Qian Wu stood still, their eyes fell on the foot of the table, waiting for the prince's orders.

Chu Yao was looking for ancient books on the top floor of the bookshelf, which was specially made of rosewood according to his requirements, more than 20 feet high, occupying an entire wall of the study. When he saw the two of them come in, he came down the wooden ladder, walked to the bookcase, picked up the paper in the corner, and said, "Go and investigate the pattern." ”

Qian Wu took the paper and looked at the patterns depicted on it, which looked familiar, as if it was the pattern on the carriage of the Shen Mansion on the way back to Beijing. It stands to reason that the edge of the carriage of ordinary people also has similar decorations, and many families also carve carved lattices directly on the wood of the carriage, why would the prince care about such a normal detail? Qian Wu was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

Chu Yao saw him thinking and reminded: "Two years ago, we met Uncle Huang in Qihang County, and the jade pendant on his waist at that time was also this figure. ”

Qian Wu had some enlightenment, "On that visit to Li, someone was ambushed on the way back to Beijing, but fortunately, the master hurried back to Beijing to worship the Huo family, so he returned to Beijing in micro-service, and happened to meet Prince Su. ”

Chu Yao nodded slightly, "At about this time this year, Lone saw the jade pendant on the emperor's uncle again. ”

Mo Yun tilted his head to think about it, and muttered: "It shows that that jade pendant must have something special for Prince Su!" After thinking about it again, he said: "Prince Su has always taken care of Shen Shilang, and now Miss Shen's carriage also has such a pattern, but there is no other carriage in the Shen Mansion." ”

This is a fact, the carriages up and down the Shen Mansion, he has asked people to confirm it, even Shen Shilang's sedan chariot and carriage do not have this pattern, so ...... He didn't think it was a coincidence, but he was more curious and wanted to find out.

Mo Yun knows in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to know everything about Miss Shen!

"I know!" Qian Wu received the order, and then said: "Brother Jinzhi brought a message before, saying that Jingyang Hou is ready, and tomorrow he will play the matter of General Zhenwu's private dispatch of troops." ”

General Zhenwu is the eldest son of Xunguo Duke Xu Taifu, that is, the elder brother of Empress Xu, he led an army of 200,000 and guarded the Jiayi Pass of Huaguo.

"Lone has already sent someone to explain, this is not busy in advance." Chu Yao raised his palm and said.

Qian Wu didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to suddenly change his mind, it should have been His Royal Highness who guessed that Emperor Chengzhao would favor the minister Xu Taifu, and Jingyang waited for it to play at this time, and he must not be able to get any benefits.

"Go down first!" Chu Yao walked to the bookcase, picked up the green glazed lampstand, and went to the bookshelf to find ancient books in person.

Mo Yun didn't move, as if he didn't plan to go out, Chu Yao saw it, and his phoenix eyes raised slightly: "You still have something?" ”

"Master, I've already asked someone to check on Miss Shen in the Shen Mansion."

Chu Yao pursed a smile on his lips: "Has there been progress?" ”

"Not yet." Mo Yun responded with his head in response, and then said, "Today, the eldest princess will hold a hundred flowers banquet in the other garden......

"Lone has already mentioned to my aunt that she won't go tonight." What is the nature of this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet, he knows that in previous years, it was a matter of the female dependents, but this year he invited a lot of people, including him. It's just that most of the banquet is still a female dependent, and he went to join in the excitement, didn't he wait for the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine for him tomorrow? He was not interested, and there was no reason to let himself suffer, but Mo Yun's next sentence made him change his mind.

"The guest list at the banquet, as well as the ladies who will go to show their arts, there is the concubine of the Shen Mansion - Shen Ayao."

Chu Yao was silent for a moment, and his eyes were slightly cold: "Shen Mansion still wants to marry Chongwang Mansion?" ”

"It should have been arranged by the Ningyang Hou Mansion, it was originally the young lady from the Ningyang Hou Mansion, but for some reason it was changed to the Shen Mansion."

There are only three young ladies in the Shen Mansion, one has married into the Prince Su Mansion, and the other is Shen Xinyue, so she can only be on stage tonight!

She's going to perform in front of people tonight? Do you want to enter the Chongwang Mansion? There were other male guests at night, Chu Yiran from Prince Su's Mansion, and Bai Wei, the bastard son of his aunt, these people, as soon as they saw her face, they probably felt their hearts flutter, thinking of this, his eyebrows frowned, and the coldness was even worse in an instant.

Mo Yun knew in his heart that the prince must have flown the vinegar jar at this time. Silent count in my heart: "One, two、......" originally bet within ten, the prince will definitely not be able to stand, who knows that the third has not come out yet, His Royal Highness the prince has already walked quickly to the door of the study, "Out of the palace." Before he could say two words, his people had already turned to the corridor, and Mo Yun and Qian Wu only saw the corner of the hem of His Royal Highness the Prince's clothes.

His Royal Highness the Prince's current situation is that his heart is full of energy, as long as he meets Miss Shen's matter, he will definitely have no fairy spirit at all, just like Leng Touqing, how can he still have the usual posture of not sticking to smoke and dust? Isn't it? Men and women □□ here, and the prince is a group of concubines to the outside world, but what is the truth? He still doesn't know?

Thinking about it like this, Mo Yun felt sorry for the prince again, and in a trance, he found that Qian Wu was no longer visible, so he hurriedly chased him out.
