On the sixth day of February, I went to Beijing with my father and eldest brother to celebrate the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager.

I kept in mind the teachings of my father and eldest brother, and since I entered the palace gate, I have behaved in a proper manner and spoken cautiously, for fear that I will lose the face of the Ye family when I enter the palace for the first time.

On that day, my lady dressed up too well, and the queen mother of the ladies gave me lunch alone.

Originally, I thought that after dealing with the visit to the Shou'an Palace, it was only noon, and the saint would have to leave his father and eldest brother for luncheon, but there was no precedent for courtiers and daughters to stay in the palace to serve the emperor's banquet, so I could go back to the mansion in Beijing first, let people set up a carriage, take Qingqing, and secretly go to the streets of the capital to see the excitement.

Yes, the Queen Mother rewarded me with lunch in Cishou Palace, and I was absolutely unwilling.

First, the liveliness of the capital can't be seen; Second, there are a lot of rules in the palace, I have been playing a girlfriend for most of the day, and if I continue to play it, I am afraid that I will show my feet and lose the face of my father and eldest brother.

Although I didn't want to, I thought that if I was unhappy, I was afraid that it would bring disaster to my Ye family, so I cleaned up my thoughts and thanked me flattered.

After the visit, the Queen Mother led me to Cishou Palace with the palace maid Hanxiang beside her.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, I faintly heard the sound of the little palace maid sobbing behind the rockery, and I was curious and truth-seeking for a while, so I slowed down.

Through the cave, I stole a glimpse of something else behind the rockery -- the trees were verdant and the flowers were burning.

In the shade of this flower tree, there is a white marble stone table, and a young man sits next to the table, because it was close to noon at that time, and the shadow of the flower and tree was mottled, and his appearance could not be seen really, only that he was wearing a yellow robe, and he shook an ivory folding fan depicting the mountains and flowing water.

I looked up at the sky—

The noon of February was still a little cool, but the yellow-robed young man shook a folding fan into the wind.

There were more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in front of the yellow-robed young man, and one of them was wiping her tears with her sleeve.

Somehow, the young man suddenly put away the fan, raised his leg and kicked on the shoulder of a little eunuch, and the little eunuch didn't have time to say a word, and slammed into the rockery, and was silent.

I was shocked.

Although in this palace, the lives of slaves are the most worthless, how could such a bold person dare to blatantly use lynching in the palace?

I was about to get closer and see this person's appearance, "Miss Ye, it's not too early, the slave is afraid that the Queen Mother will be in a hurry!" "It seems that I am paying attention to the movement behind the rockery, and the palace maid Hanxiang gently reminds me.

I glanced at the stone cave with some reluctance, turned around slowly, smiled calmly at Han Xiang, and said apologetically: "It's Ye Rong who is abrupt." ”

Han Xiang was stunned for a moment, thinking that she didn't expect that a lady of mine would admit to peeking so generously.

I smiled and took two quick steps to keep up with Hanxiang.

I was very worried about this lunch in Cishou Palace, for fear that one would accidentally lose his beautiful demeanor and attract everyone to laugh at his father and eldest brother.

However, fortunately, in the past ten years, my father and eldest brother have been very well educated, and after a meal, I didn't make any jokes in Cishou Palace.

After lunch, the Queen Mother took me by the hand and asked me about my daily necessities and my leisure time.

I really can't guess what the purpose of this old lady who seems to be kind and kind, but I know one thing, in this deceitful harem, this old lady has lived smoothly for most of her life, and Zuihou has become the queen mother, and it must be not easy to enjoy her life.

Therefore, in response to the Queen Mother's question, I carefully pondered and considered the wording.

When I went out of the palace and saw my eldest brother, I learned that my father was summoned by the Queen Mother, and I and my eldest brother went back to the mansion in Beijing first, and I was very surprised: "This old queen mother first invited me to dinner, and then talked to my father, what did I have in mind?" ”

After returning home, I inadvertently mentioned the matter of the imperial garden to my eldest brother, and the eldest brother pondered for a long time and said, "The yellow-robed young man must be the third prince Xue Xuan." ”
