Chapter 123: Successfully rescued
However, Qiao Lan is a minion, who cares if she is happy or not?
Shouxin walked beside Wen Hong, seemingly with his head down, honest and well-behaved, but in fact, he was watching and listening to all directions, according to the plan, at this time, Yi Xun should have sneaked into the palace.
It's just that it will be harder to sneak in during the day than at night.
Fortunately, there are also their own people in the palace, so that they can have a little more security. However, Shouxin was still a little worried, but she could only obey the order, followed Wen Hong's side, and the group went to Princess Qihui's palace in a mighty way.
At this time, there are already many people in Princess Qihui's palace, although everything is simple, but just the concubines in the palace, various princes, princesses, and a relative of Princess Qihui's family, there are already a lot of people.
The banquet was held in the main hall of Princess Qihui's palace, a large round table was placed in the main hall, many people gathered together to talk, Princess Qihui has not yet come, it is said that she went to Gongsun Huaxiao, and the father and daughter came together for a while.
When Wen Hong appeared at the door of the main hall, the eunuch sang and said: "The Queen Mother has arrived!"
For a while, there was silence in the hall, and after a second, everyone knelt down to Wen Hong: "Concubines (slaves, slaves, courtiers...... See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an. ”
Wen Hong looked down at the kneeling crowd, her face was full of dignified posture, and then a kind smile appeared on her face: "Let's all be flat, today is Princess Qihui's birthday, you don't need to be formal."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Everyone thanked him and got up, and Wen Hong walked towards the table in the middle and sat down on top of it.
After sitting down, she glanced at everyone, except for Gongsun Huaxiao, Princess Qihui and the queen, almost everyone else had arrived. In particular, Princess Qihui's foreign family came a lot, obviously to show their attention to Princess Qihui. Wen Hong snorted coldly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
At this time, someone came over to talk to Wen Hong and chat some gossip. Shouxin has been standing behind Wen Hong, his head lowered, and he has performed Qiaofu to the fullest.
About the time of a cup of tea, there was a eunuch at the door singing and "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, Princess Qihui has arrived!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone once knelt on the ground and saluted, this time, in addition to Wen Hong, Shouxin and Qiao Lan and other people around Wen Hong also knelt on the ground and saluted.
Gongsun Huaxiao strode in, with a big smile on his face, the queen followed, and Princess Qihui was beside the queen, the two also had a light smile, and they seemed to have a good relationship.
"Get up, today is Qihui's birthday, you don't need to be polite." Words similar to Wen Hong came out of Gongsun Huaxiao's mouth. Then he took the queen and Princess Qihui to the table where Wen Hong was, and several people also saluted Wen Hong.
Wen Hong's smile widened, and there was a kind expression on her face, "Okay, don't be polite, Qihui come over and let the mourning family take a look." ”
"Imperial grandmother." Qihui walked over as she said, but looking at her tense body and the slightly stiff smile on her face, she could feel that she didn't like Wen Hong.
"Good boy." Wen Hong affectionately took Qihui's hand, patted the back of her hand, and looked her up and down.
And the guard behind Wen Hong also looked at Qihui quietly.
This twelve-year-old girl, with a figure of about one and a half meters, is wearing a lotus-colored palace dress at the moment, a belt of the same color around her waist, and a white jade bead hairpin on her head, very simple and generous. It is not decent, but also dignified and beautiful. It's just that for a girl of this age, Princess Qihui is a little less angry and too quiet.
"Qiao Ju, take the gift prepared by the mourning family to Princess Qihui." Wen Hong said, and Qiao Ju presented the brocade box that she had been holding in her hand to Princess Qihui.
"Thank you, Grandmother." Princess Qihui smiled shyly and hugged the brocade box in her arms.
"Why don't you open it and take a look? Before the banquet starts, let's see what the mourning family has prepared for you, do you like it or not? Wen Hong was extraordinarily kind today, and the guards who followed her looked at her eyes, and she had goosebumps all the time on her body. This should be Wen Hong's usual method before calculating, just like her attitude towards herself these days.
Princess Qihui hesitated slightly, as if she didn't want to open the things sent by Wen Hong now, but Gongsun Huaxiao also spoke at this time. "Hui'er, open it and take a look, what the imperial grandmother gave you must be the best."
"Yes!" Princess Qihui lowered her eyebrows and complied, and then lowered her head to open the brocade box in her hand.
At this moment, there was silence all around, and almost everyone was staring at Wen Hong's gift to Princess Qihui, wondering what kind of extravagant she was.
Wen Hong has been married to the Tanglin Kingdom for more than ten years, but the people of the Tanglin Kingdom have never forgotten that she is the county lord of the Nanlin Kingdom, although she is not of royal blood. But the Wen family has a big business, and when Wen Hong married Dongling Kingdom, it can be described as ten miles of red makeup. The royal family prepared a dowry for Wen Hong, and the Wen family also prepared another one. It's even more beautiful than when Wen Yao married Murong Yan!
Yes, Wen Hong has been generous for so many years, and everyone is looking forward to what she has come up with.
After the brocade box was opened, the calm Qihui couldn't help but show a hint of joy. Inside the box is a set of head jewelry of the finest red coral, the color is so bright and gorgeous that it is difficult to take your eyes off it.
When Wen Hong saw Qihui's expression, she showed a smile, and she was very proud. "Qihui, do you still like it?"
"Yes, thank you, Grandmother." No matter how stable she is, she is also a twelve-year-old girl, and the joy that Qihui can't hide in her words makes Wen Hong very satisfied.
"If you like it, it's fine." Wen Hong personally picked this set of superb red coral jewelry, which she had always liked before, but now that she is the queen mother, she can no longer wear such gorgeous jewelry. Now it is worth the money to give it to Qihui. What's more, now is the time for her to win over Qihui.
"Huh...... The queen mother's gift was too gorgeous, and the concubines and other gifts were embarrassed to take it out. The queen said with a smile.
"These things are all outside the body of a lion, the main thing is this mind, the queen doesn't have to be presumptuous."
"Yes." The queen smiled inconveniently, and pulled Qihui to sit under Gongsun Huaxiao. And she gave up the position that originally belonged to her to Princess Qihui, and she sat in the next priority. Princess Qihui wanted to get up and be polite, but was stopped by the queen: "You are the protagonist today, just sit here!"
Qihui nodded, the base of her ears slightly red.
"Hehe, okay, let's have a feast!" Gongsun Huaxiao gave an order, everyone was ready, and the palace maids and eunuchs began to serve the food.
And Gongsun Huaxiao has already raised his glass: "Today is Hui'er's birthday, and my father hopes that you can grow up quickly, be healthy and happy!"
"Thank you, Father."
Everyone raised their glasses, said some words of blessing, and then raised their glasses and drank.
Shouxin just stood behind Wen Hong, looking at these blessed people coldly, in fact, how many people really blessed Qihui in their hearts? Don't talk about others, let's just say that the other princes and princesses, looking at Qihui's gaze are somewhat hostile.
Princess Qihui's mother only has her one daughter, so Qihui Palace can be said to be isolated in the palace, but fortunately, the queen has a decent face and looks good to her.
The banquet was carried out in an orderly manner, and Wen Hong talked to Princess Qihui from time to time, which made Princess Qihui very flattered.
Such a look made the queen a little suspicious, and swept to Princess Qihui and Wen Hong from time to time, secretly guessing.
Shouxin saw all this in his eyes, but in his heart, he was worried about what happened over there. Because everything is simple, only the Kabuki in the palace come to perform their performances.
About an hour and a half after the banquet, some people had already begun to say goodbye, and at this time, a guard suddenly ran in from outside and said something in Gongsun Huaxiao's ear. Gongsun Huaxiao's face changed slightly, and he whispered a few words to Wen Hong beside him.
Shouxin stood close and could hear clearly.
Subsequently, Wen Hong's face also changed, but when she saw the eyes around her, she returned to normal. said lightly: "The mourning family is also lacking, you continue, the mourning family will go back to the dormitory first."
"After I send my mother, Queen, I'll leave it to you here." Gongsun Huaxiao also stood up and said.
"Yes." The queen responded, and everyone sent Gongsun Huaxiao and Wen Hong.
After the two of them were out of everyone's sight, their steps hurried, and their hearts were also in the same direction. She could still keep up, and the three Qiaolan behind her were already tired and out of breath.
There was anger hidden under Wen Hong's eyes, and so was Gongsun Huaxiao.
Shouxin was calm and relaxed, because from the report just now, she had already learned that Yi Xun and the others had successfully rescued Qingfeng.
When I arrived at the small garden of Wenhong's dormitory, I found that it was a mess, and there were traces of fighting everywhere. The rockery was also split in half, and there were corpses and wounded guards lying on the ground, as well as some men in black. It's just that none of the people in black have been exhausted, and they have no way to live.
Shouxin's eyes swept over as if he was no different, and he was relieved to see that it was a few people he didn't know. But when I remembered that these people were also looking for Yixun, I mourned for them for a few seconds in my heart.
"What about people?" Wen Hong stood on the spot and asked one of the men, who was already seriously injured.
The man was not wearing a guard uniform, it should be Wen Hong's secret power.
"Dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates!" The man knelt down and confessed, blood still flowing from his back to the ground.
Wen Hong's face turned a little pale, and he was silent for two minutes before saying, "Let's go down and heal first!" She is certainly angry and wants to punish these people, but her secret power is already limited, how can she punish them? Seeing this speculation, Shouxin should be one of the masters that Wen Yao gave to Wen Hong.
The injured guards were naturally all guards in the palace, and Gongsun Huaxiao also personally inquired about some information, and finally he was furious: "You waste, what do you want you to do?"
All the guards knelt tremblingly, for fear that Gongsun Huaxiao would have to move their heads if they had a will.
Wen Hong spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, it's no wonder that they are doing this, the assassin's martial arts are too strong."
She kindly opened her mouth, just to prevent herself from letting go of her subordinates and looking favoritism.
"Hmph, since the Queen Mother has pleaded for you, I will let you go today." Gongsun Huaxiao still gives Wen Hong face. After that, he ordered someone to deal with the small garden, and the two went back to the room to discuss things secretly.
Only the two of them were in the room, Shouxin and Qiaolan were guarding the door, and Gongsun Huaxiao's personal eunuch thief was sent by him to arrange matters, obviously unwilling people were rescued like this.
