In the early hours of the morning, quietly, except for the footsteps of the night patrol, it is the sound of the "dry weather, be careful of the fire candles" from time to time, it is particularly abrupt in this silent night, the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall are a little listless, gathered around the fire to keep warm, there are a few fallen wine bottles next to it, one of them has been drunk, leaning on the table and snoring and falling asleep, there is a feeling of thunder and immobility, the other two are also confused and shouting to drink, but the cup is already empty and I don't know, only two are still awake, and another had already gone to inspect the city wall, just when the soldier walked back to the resting place, a black shadow quickly climbed over the city wall, and did not enter the city again, the soldier was just puzzled, looked back a few times, nothing, thought that he had drunk too much, and walked back.

The black shadow walked nimbly to the west of the city, avoided the patrol's catch, turned into an alley, turned around and did not enter a hut, and after a while a watchman slowly walked out of the house, and soon came to a small corner door that the palace usually procures, just leaned against the wall to rest, and quickly left before the patrolman came, as if it was really just a rest.

At dawn, the city gate opened, and the people who entered the city let the soldiers check and enter in turn, an old farmer who delivered vegetables stopped in front of the corner gate of the Chengguo Mansion, and gently called the door a few times, and soon someone let him in, and brought him to the study of the prince, the old farmer respectfully handed over a letter, the envelope was sealed with a special technique, and the unfamiliar person opened the letter paper inside it will automatically combust, the prince skillfully opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, read the content of the letter, and couldn't help but change his complexion, slapped his palm on the table, and asked the old farmer a few words, let people go down, looking in the direction of the northwest, I don't know what I'm thinking.

Gu Mingxin drank her special breakfast milk, while boredly picking at her fingers, while using her spiritual power combined with the wood system ability to operate, although she didn't know if she had any ability, but in her own experiments, she found that this kind of mental power combined with the operation of the exercise can accelerate blood circulation, so that in this cold winter, you will not be too cold because of the unsmooth blood, and at the same time can dredge the blocked meridians, although the effect is not very obvious, but you can walk thousands of miles, I believe that there will always be a step over the mountains.

The days are moving forward little by little, and soon it will be the tenth day of the new year, and all the mansions have held a spring banquet large and small, this year the Chengguo Mansion did not hold a spring banquet, of course, and did not attend, but only sent a heavier gift than before, in order to apologize and attach importance to the main family, the same is true of the spring banquet of the tenth day of the eldest princess's mansion.

The spring banquet of the eldest princess's mansion is very famous, the annual invitation can be said to be in short supply, many families are proud to have a banquet post of the eldest princess's mansion, that exquisite invitation is a symbol of identity and status, not more than three officials you want to don't want to receive the invitation, even if it is a three-grade official may not be able to receive, you do not have a certain reputation and status, you can only hear its voice and not see its shadow, many people want to get the invitation, hope to meet some people with lofty ideals at the banquet, everyone is in that position, Sometimes a little inadvertent marginal news can make people avoid a lot of trouble and win at the starting line, so everyone is very active and attaches great importance to the spring banquet of the eldest princess's mansion.

The spring banquet of the eldest princess's mansion is also called the plum blossom banquet, which is named after the many varieties of plum blossoms, including red plum, white plum, green calyx plum, pinzi plum, early plum, fine plum, can plum, mao plum, ice plum, light plum and fragrant plum, etc. A large number of plum blossoms of various colors compete to open, pink plum is like xia, white plum is like snow, green calyx plum is white and hidden green, crystal light and elegant...... The breeze is light, the petals and snowflakes are wrapped in the petals and slowly swirling dance, looking up at each other, obsessed, slowly approaching, but they are separated from the pain, and they are in love in their hearts, so it is better to return together.

In the beautiful scenery of plum blossoms, the most beautiful is the boy and girl, the two sides are separated by screens, each of them gathers together to chant poems and fight against each other, play chess and paint, laugh and laugh, and are full of youthful vitality everywhere. There were a few girls sitting in the pavilion, they were chatting while drinking tea, and when it came to female red, Miss Li of the Taishi Mansion said: "If you want to embroider lotus, it is still the most beautiful embroidered by Sister Wanru, the flower seems to come to life, by the way, Sister Wanqing, why didn't Sister Wanru come today?" ”

"Sixteen sisters are filial, embroidered and wiped their foreheads for the old lady in the house, the old lady was happy for a while and left her sister in the house to accompany her, and my sister also asked me to bring a message to everyone, and then the next post invites the sisters to play at home." The seventeenth lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion said.

At this time, a girl wearing a pure pleated skirt with sprinkled flowers, a Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, and a silk double-walled cloud goose outfit, and a combing cloud bun walked in and just heard it and said: "Sixteenth cousin, she is different from us, where does she have time to play with us now." ”

"Sister Jingyue, why doesn't Sister Wanru have time to come out to play, I have to talk about her during the Hundred Flowers Festival," the young lady of Shangshu Mansion said coquettishly.

"The second aunt may not come out to my cousin at that time," the cousin of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion said a little sourly.

Some of the young ladies who came over were interested and said, "Which house is it from?" ”

The seventeenth lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion probably got the instructions from the family, and said vaguely: "I didn't hear the elders in the mansion say this, and the sixteenth sister also said that everyone will post it." ”

"When the time comes, will Mrs. Yipin still associate with us people?" Miss Table said sourly.

"Ah, it shouldn't be that, right?" The young lady of Shangshu Mansion said in surprise

"If it's him, he's a round older than us." The young lady next to her seconded.

"There are still two children, and won't they be the mother of two children when the time comes?"

"It's my sister's child, and it's hard to do it then."

・・・・・

Listening to everyone's discussions, Miss Smug laughed, calling you usually look down on people, and it will not be your stepmother's life when the time comes, hum!

Until the end of the banquet, everyone was still talking about the news, the lady of Weiyuanhou's mansion saw this, wanted to say something, but finally returned to the house without saying anything, and returned to the mansion to tell Mrs. Weiyuanhou about the banquet, seeing that Mrs. Weiyuanhou didn't say anything but called them, and learned the rules well and told them to go down. Mrs. Wei Yuanhou thought about today's banquet with a headache, the Guogong Mansion only verbally agreed to the marriage, and said that it would not be announced first, but now it is her cousin who is preaching it everywhere, and the kind people will say that the Hou Mansion cares about and loves her grandson, and it will be difficult to hear the words of the people who see the Hou Mansion when the time comes, and I don't know what dissatisfaction the Guogong Mansion will have at that time, and it is good to say anything else, as long as you don't take this matter to regret the marriage.
