Early in the morning, everyone in the Qingwang Mansion was busy.

"The garden needs to be cleaned up."

"Is this flower the best?"

“… Has the Imperial Chef arrived? ”

The voice of the head of the palace did not break for a moment, and the people in the palace who shouted loudly hurriedly ran around, looking very lively, as if they had returned to the day when they had just moved in.

Those who don't know how many guests they think are coming.

"Don't be so nervous, she's a very casual person." King Jin'an said with a smile, while tying King Qing's coat and belt, patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, let's play." ”

King Qing, who was already impatient, immediately raised his hands and ran out, and a group of attendants hurriedly followed.

"It's just a homely meal, don't care." He said, standing under the porch and looking out.

The chief manager responded and glanced at the king of Jin'an County.

The King of Jin'an immediately noticed it.

"How?" He asked, looking at himself as well.

"It's okay, it's okay." The manager hurriedly shook his head and said.

The king of Jin'an sighed, but still looked down at his clothes.

Today, I wore a blue-purple round-necked robe with a white background and a vermilion and emerald belt, which looked very dazzling in the early winter weather.

A bit frivolous, right?

"You go and watch them." He said, turning and strolling, "I'll go in first." ”

The manager replied that he continued to be busy.

"What about this one?"

The king of Jin'an stood behind, and the two little chamberlains were comparing their clothes, while asking the four chamberlains standing in front of him.

"Okay, okay."

The four attendants all nodded and said.

"How does it compare to the one just now?" King Jin'an asked.

The four chamberlains looked embarrassed.

“… Almost," one stammered.

Isn't it just blue, green, yellow, red, and all the clothes on your body?

The king of Jin'an waved his hand.

"Go, go. Call the women in. He said.

The chamberlains were pardoned. This kind of thing to wear looks good is still up to the women to discern it.

"The king of the county wears this suit..."

"Oops, this set is not good. This, this is good..."

The room suddenly became lively, accompanied by the sound of warblers and swallows.

There is no trouble with opinions, and it is troublesome if there are opinions, and the king of Jin'an County was quickly dizzy from the noise.

"Okay, okay, what kind of outfit does I look good at?" He shouted.

The ten palace maids standing in the room looked at the king of Jin'an County in unison, the room was brightly lit, and the nineteen-year-old young man no longer had the youthfulness of a teenager. In addition, in the past few years, he has been running around first, and he has accompanied King Qing to run and play, his body is sturdy, and he is full of vitality in the pampered wealth and nobility, his eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, and his demeanor is outstanding.

"The king looks good in anything." The palace ladies replied in unison.

The king of Jin'an was a little angry and laughed.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Mrs. Cheng has arrived."

The shouts of the steward were heard outside the door.

King Jin'an suddenly panicked again.

"Which one the hell?"

"No matter, just put on one."

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Suddenly there was chaos in the house again.

Banqin got out of the carriage and helped Cheng Jiaoniang to look at the palace curiously.

"It's not a big place." The woman in the palace who greeted her said with a smile. "It's rare to be close to the palace."

Cheng Jianniang nodded and raised her feet to step.

Actually, it's just a polite remark. In fact, this palace is really not small...

Why is this lady still serious?

The woman was a little stunned, but she was relieved to think that the lady who had been instructed by the chief steward not to treat each other as ordinary people, and hurriedly followed.

"You're here."

When he arrived at the door, the voice of the king of Jin'an came.

Cheng Jianniang stood still and looked at the person who appeared as the words fell.

The young man stood up with a bright smile in a long robe with a blue and white pattern.

"This way, please." He said, but he didn't see the stunned look of the manager next to him.

Cheng Jianniang paid homage, and then followed into the door.

"What are you doing?" The palace lady looked at the chief steward and asked in a low voice.

The steward smiled and shook his head again.

"A woman is a person who pleases herself." He said.

"Don't talk nonsense, that lady is a regular person, but she doesn't think about it." The palace maid hurriedly whispered.

The steward smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I didn't mean her." He said.

It's not that who else is she talking about? The palace maid was even more puzzled, and when she wanted to ask the chief manager who was already busy following in, she had to give up.

"Sixth brother, sixth brother, come and see the process lady."

The voice of the king of Jin'an resounded in the hall.

“… His Royal Highness only saw this lady and took the initiative to call His Royal Highness King Qing over. ”

“… Yes, at other times, I am always afraid that King Qing will be seen, so I hide it from others. ”

The two maids who had withdrawn from the hall whispered, and someone coughed heavily in front of them.

"Cheng Niangzi naturally wants to see King Qing, she knows how to heal, otherwise she will be asked to do something." The palace woman said with a straight face.

The two maids hurriedly bowed their heads in response, not daring to say a word more.

The palace lady looked into the hall and saw that King Qing was being dragged by the King of Jin'an County and sent to Cheng Jianniang, King Qing didn't like to be pulled and trapped, and shouted with an unhappy face, but the lady had neither fear nor disgust on her face, just like seeing the King of Jin'an.

In the end, it is a divine doctor, and all living beings are the same in her eyes.

Cheng Jianniang stood up at King Shili of Qingqing.

Only then did the king of Jin'an let go of his hand, and King Qing ran away impatiently.

"Do you want to see it?" He said, gesturing around and smiling.

"Okay." Cheng Jianniang said.

The king of Jin'an stepped happily and greeted King Qing again.

"Sixth brother, let's go out for a walk." He said.

Really look, the palace maid shook her head, and had to keep up helplessly.

"Cheng Fang, Cheng Fang, look over there, I originally filled in the lake, planted a large flower field, and waited until next spring and summer to enjoy the flowers."

King Jin'an said, stretching out his finger to show her.

Cheng Jianniang looked over as she said and nodded seriously.

"It's also nice to fix it up and put it up." She said.

"You have a good idea, what kind of shape do you pose?" King Jin'an asked happily.

"Let's make a yin-yang diagram." Cheng Jianniang said. His gaze swept around.

King Jin'an nodded. Immediately give orders to the chief steward beside him.

"Your Highness. The pattern of feng shui here is all optimistic about Si Tiantai and cannot be changed at will. The steward whispered.

"It's because they've seen it that I'm going to change it." The king of Jin'an also said in a low voice.

The manager was stunned, and the king of Jin'an County gave him a sure look, turned his head and smiled at Cheng Jianniang.

"Cheng Fang, let's go see this side." He beckoned.

Cheng Jianniang nodded and followed him.

King Qing in front of him was holding a windmill and running upside down, and the maids and maids behind him were all wrong and stretched on the bluestone road.

"Do you really want to change it?" The others asked the manager.

The steward shook his head.

"You don't know the temper of the county king." He said. "Let's talk back to the palace."

"Then if the people from Si Tiantai know, they will definitely nag." An attendant shook his head and said.

"Oh, that's right, sir." A waiter's eyes lit up when he thought of something, "It's hard to say it over there, we can ask others." ”

"Ask whom? Are the monks of the Puxiu Temple? The steward frowned.

"No, I heard that Lord Han who was planning a solar eclipse is going to enter Beijing, and I will ask him to take a look at it when the time comes, if he says he can, he will definitely be able to block the mouths of those people in Si Tiantai." The chamberlain laughed.

Si Tiantai was not sure about a solar eclipse nine times out of ten, and he was lucky to hit it once. Especially this year, it is not uncommon to not be able to calculate accurately. But what is rare is that someone calculated correctly, and the people of the whole city did protection, this kind of auspicious thing made the people of that town happy, and the rest of the city was also envious.

The official who led the people to do protection was also famous, just in time for this examination, and the officials at the top and bottom have been praising and evaluating a superior class, and he was promoted from a magistrate to a magistrate, and he will soon enter Beijing to face the saint.

The steward nodded.

"Yes, yes, that's a solution." He said, "Pay attention, and tell me as soon as anyone comes." ”

The attendants responded, and the chief steward looked at the people who were getting farther and farther away, and hurriedly chased after them.

………………………………

"Brother Zhile."

A voice came from his ears, and Qin Shisanlang withdrew his gaze from the window.

"Okay, okay." He said immediately with a smile.

"What's good, don't be perfunctory." A young man said, holding the wine bowl in his hand and turning around, "The last two sentences can't be continued." ”

As he was talking, the door was opened, and a little lady walked in, followed by a little girl holding the piano.

Seven or eight people in the room suddenly became lively.

"I really invited Little Lady Zhu!"

"Little Lady Zhu is really difficult to invite."

was laughing and joking, Zhu Xiaoniang always smiled, and saluted everyone, and when she came to Qin Shisanlang's side, Qin Shisanlang also nodded with a smile.

“… I just want to drink Maoyuan Mountain, why didn't you sell it? Aren't you the best store in Beijing? ”

There was a man's noise in the hallway.

“… Guest officer, only that Cheng lady has it in Maoyuan Mountain, and there is no way if people don't sell it..."

Only that Cheng Niangzi has it, others don't have it, and she doesn't sell it, so that you can eat it fresh, arouse the gluttony, but ignore it, there is no shortage of money, you are not afraid of coercion, you don't care about glory and wealth, it's really helpless.

The corners of Qin Shisanlang's mouth curled and smiled.

The door was pulled shut, cutting out the noise in the hallway.

"Qin Arc!"

Qin Shisanlang looked at the man, held the wine bowl and shook it.

"Why are you scolding me?" He laughed.

"You can only hear you if you are scolded." The young man shook his head and said, "What's wrong with you today?" Specially came to give you a birthday, you are absent-minded. ”

Hearing the word "longevity", Zhu Xiaoniang, who was lowering her head to tune the piano, raised her eyes and immediately lowered her gaze.

"I just want your poems to be fascinating." Qin Shisanlang smiled, and sat down while teasing his clothes, "Okay, okay, have you made the remaining two sentences?" ”

The young man was interrupted and immediately threw this away, and busily continued to think about poetry.

“… Except for an ancient tong, he shrugged into the clouds..."He repeated these two sentences, his brows furrowed. [Note 1]

"....The branches welcome the birds from the north and south, and the leaves send the wind to and fro..."

A female voice said suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present read them all over and applauded.

"Little Lady Zhu deserves to be the first leader in Beijing." Everyone laughed, and some people poured wine and came forward to toast.

"Slavery is ugly." Little Lady Zhu said with a smile, reaching out to take the wine, raising her sleeves and drinking it all.

Everyone in the hall immediately applauded in unison.

"Can be literary and martial, Zhu Xiaoniang is bold."

Qin Shisanlang also smiled and drank the wine bowl in his hand.

"We won't be able to give you a birthday tomorrow, let's have a good time outside today..."Several people looked at Qin Shisanlang and said, and then looked at Zhu Xiaoniang, "The little lady came to accompany the birthday star." ”

Qin Shisanlang hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

"Dare, don't worry, even if your father hears it, he won't break your legs." Everyone cheered.

Little Lady Zhu got up but didn't sit down, but smiled and saluted.

"Accompanying wine is a trivial matter, it is better to sing and dance in the slave family, and the sons drink for fun." She said.

Zhu Xiaoniang sings and dances, but rarely shows in front of people, at most plays the piano as a companion, only in the first month of August Beijing Festival and those high-ranking families invite each other, will sing and dance.

I didn't expect to be invited today, but I could also enjoy singing and dancing.

"The blessing of the birthday star, the blessing of the birthday star!" Everyone laughed.

Qin Shisanlang also laughed, and raised the wine bowl to Zhu Xiaoniang to show it.

Zhu Xiaoniang smiled and bowed her head to salute, and then stepped back, her sleeves were thrown up, and at the same time the song rose enchantingly.

The hall was even more applauding.

Qin Shisanlang looked at it with a smile and couldn't help frowning.

She said, "I have an appointment today, but I don't know where I went to make an appointment?" I really shouldn't have been reserved at the time and didn't ask.

What if you ask? Is it possible to follow along?

Thinking of this, he smiled to himself again, and took the wine bowl and drank slowly.

The little lady Zhu who was spinning and moving looked through the flying sleeves, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she immediately returned to normal, rubbing her waist and shaking her shoulders, singing and dancing, making the people in the hall fascinated.
