Everyone returned to the brocade hall, and soon there would be eunuchs to announce the decree and give the women to enjoy the imperial garden.

There was no need to sit in the hall anymore, everyone was elated, and followed the little eunuch to Xiafei Garden.

In the winter of the Xia Fei Garden, strange flowers are blooming, and the trees are prosperous, full of vitality. The mountains and rocks lean on the green, the clear stream and the blue waves, the strange show reflect each other, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

There is Qingyin Lake in the garden, the shore of the lake is planted with peach trees, the falling flowers are colorful, such as the red rain flying, falling in the lake, floating in the middle of the green waves, reflecting the red glow of the lake stone on the shore.

Qingyin Lake is full of water, and there are several small islands in the lake, dotted with dots.

After all, this is the Ouchi Imperial Garden, and everyone didn't dare to play too casually, but they just walked around, and a eunuch came to invite everyone to the Yaohua Hall in the Xiafei Garden to have a banquet.

The Yaohua Hall is luxuriously decorated, the carved beams and paintings in the hall are brilliant, and the ground of the main hall is paved with crystal clear white jade. Outside the window is Qingyin Lake, and there is silk and bamboo wind music on the lake.

In the center sits the golden dragon throne facing north and south, and the emperor and empress sit side by side. The queen sat beside the emperor with a thousand demeanors, and the handsome and innocent emperor was like a fairy couple.

The crown prince's seat was a little lower on the side of the imperial case, and the emperor spoke gently to the prince from time to time, and the queen only listened with a smile and a smile on the side, looking at the prince with a eyes full of tenderness and doting.

Below on both sides of the rosewood tunic and high foot scheme, Jin Yi sat beside Qin Zhili and Xu, and looked up at Sima Yulou sitting opposite.

He occupied a plan alone, and since he was only a prince now, he sat at the next seat of Zhongyigong, and was whispering and laughing with Zu Juntian at the table.

As if sensing her gaze, Sima Yulou did not look back, only reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his head and drank it all, with a strong smile on his lips.

Jin Yiyi didn't look at him, and Qin Zhili beside her asked her quietly, "The queen can see you?" Did you say anything? ”

Jin Yi nodded slightly, "I just asked my mother, but I didn't say much." ”

Qin Zhili was a little uneasy in his heart, in the past few years, the queen had never asked Jinyi, and now that he suddenly became so affectionate, whether the matter of sending her to Shangxiutang would make the queen dissatisfied, he was a little uncertain in his heart.

He didn't expect that the eldest daughter, who had always been cared about, would now attract the emperor and queen to inquire about it, and I heard that even the prince of Chuchen seemed to be interested in her. remembered that when Jin Yi first went home, he even promised Xu to let her enter the palace as an official and help Jinxiu in the future, which seems to be a fool's dream now.

Thinking of this, I had two more complaints about the Xu family in my heart.

Xu didn't know what he was thinking, he pondered the queen's attitude for a long time just now, and felt that the queen's treatment of Qin Jinyi was just ordinary, and she didn't have too much affection. At this moment, she is thinking about her plan, if it is done, don't say that the old lady and the marquis will no longer protect her, if it spreads, I am afraid that the prince of Chuchen will also avoid her.

There are singing and dancing in the hall, and the atmosphere is suddenly a lot more lively. Everyone no longer sits upright, although they will not go around the table, they can also talk and laugh with the people who are seated, and a palace banquet is suitable for both the host and the guest.

Although most people still sit in their seats very well, there are also restless.

Sima Yulou accompanied Zu Juntian, holding a cup in his hand, and stepped forward to toast the emperor. The emperor drank with a smile, and laughed and talked with the two of them for a few words, and as he spoke, his eyes looked at Jinyi's side, his expression was extremely happy, and the queen was smiling and smiling on the side.

Sima Yulou smiled low-key, and said casually, "Uncle Huang still doesn't want to summon her over in such a large court, the girl's family will be embarrassed." ”

The queen smiled heartily and said to the emperor, "Isn't that the truth, I just said it, go back and talk about it slowly, you are more anxious than Yulou." ”

was teased by the queen, but instead of being annoyed, the emperor nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "The queen is right, I don't care about this matter, let this kid find a way to go by himself." ”

Jin Yi's heart has been raised, for fear that the emperor will be picked up by Sima Yulou and call himself out in public. After waiting for a while to see that nothing happened, I was relieved.

Sima Yulou returned to his seat, and when he looked at her through the light song and dance in the middle, Jin Yi glared at him with hatred.

Finally waited for the banquet to disperse, and Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The palace of 3,000 houses is really not a place for ordinary people. Be careful every step of the way, like a sword hanging over your head, and always guard against it from falling.

Finally returned to the house, first went to the old lady to sit for a while, explained everything about entering the palace, and then returned to Fu Jinxuan.

It took Qian Mo nearly half an hour to remove all the makeup on her face, change into clothes, Jin Yi sat on the warm kang, took a sip of tea, and lowered her head to think carefully about seeing the queen today.

Jin Ru came in and asked her how she entered the palace today, Jin Yi said a few words lightly, and the queen mentioned Sima Yulou to her, but she didn't say it.

Jin Ru was a little worried, thought about it, and said: "I heard that it is rumored that the queen's original choice of the crown princess is my sister...... When the queen sees you today, what do you say? ”

Jin Yi listened to it, but she said, "Now that Huan Yanyan has it, the queen will not mention the mistake of this matter." ”

Jinru's eyes widened, "Isn't that Jinxiu your name?" No wonder she fell ill yesterday when she came back from home, she must have been angry. She said, thinking it was really funny, "A person as proud as Jinxiu must be so angry that he will vomit blood now." ”

That's a good idea.

Jin Yi shook her head and said indifferently: "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me now, and anyone else who wants to be the crown princess has nothing to do with me." ”

"Tomorrow I am going to pay New Year's greetings to my aunt, and she will send a letter today to let you go with me. I guess my aunt wants to see her future daughter-in-law. Jin Ru's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he was very happy.

Jin Yi sighed secretly in her heart, not knowing whether she was happy or worried.

Jin Ru lowered her voice again and said, "But my aunt's temperament is a little withdrawn, you have to be prepared." ”

Jin Yi's expression moved slightly, she didn't know much about Princess Chuchen, she originally thought that she was going to meet tomorrow, but she was already a little apprehensive, and she couldn't help but look at Jinru.

Jin Ru frowned, and said in a low voice: "In the past, after my aunt married my uncle, the two have always respected each other, and my uncle has not married a side concubine. I also often say that my uncle, like my father, is a dedicated person. ”

"My uncle has been far away for a long time, and he doesn't spend much time in Beijing, but he takes his cousin with him everywhere, and he hasn't heard that the relationship with his aunt is not good, but he doesn't see each other much. In those years, the aunt was often alone at home in the palace. ”

"Not long before my uncle died of illness, it was suddenly reported that I was at odds with my aunt, and I heard that there was a lot of quarrel at that time, and my uncle also said that he was going to divorce his aunt, which was known to everyone at the time. Not long after, my uncle died. Therefore, my aunt has never left the house all these years, because she is afraid that people will talk about her. ”

Jin Yi was shocked in her heart, Xiaolou had never talked to her about her family affairs, and she didn't expect his mother to have such an embarrassing past.

She raised her eyebrows, a little more worried about tomorrow's visit.
