Si Tianjian calculated that the outbreak of the flood would be at the end of June, and after learning the news, the Holy Lord hurriedly sent people to the four states to disperse the people in the flood-prone areas of the four states as much as possible.

The dam built by the Imperial Commander is also nearing completion, and it is hoped that the flood will not be very serious, and the imperial court has prepared for disaster relief, so when the disaster occurs, they will immediately go to the affected area.

On June 27, the flash flood broke out, and although it had been prepared, it was still a flood that overflowed the levees and flooded the neighboring houses and fields, and although the people had been driven away from the place, there were still people who had time to leave in the future and drowned in the flood.

Overall, there are still casualties in this flood, but the casualties are much lower than in the past, which is not a bad thing for the whole Great Zhou.

Because of the early preparations, the disaster relief after that was done in an orderly manner, but in half a month, the people in various places have been properly pacified, and this disaster has passed.

And July 16th, is the full moon day of the little emperor's grandson, by the holy Chrysostom Yuyan, the queen personally operated, there is a great sense of universal celebration, the officials above the three grades of the court, are allowed to enter the palace to the banquet, can bring their families.

Rong Wan didn't have to go to the palace for a banquet, but when the filial piety period was close to July, it was over, and Qi Yanran, in the name of her relatives, specially asked for four invitations from the queen and sent someone to Luofu.

Naturally, the invitations in the palace did not dare not go easily, so on July 16, their family packed up and entered the palace gate.

Because of the little emperor and grandson, the atmosphere in the palace is also very joyful, and you can see ribbons hanging on the palace road everywhere. The palace maids who came and went also spontaneously wore festive colors, so that as soon as people entered the palace gate, they were in a happy mood.

The male and female guests sat separately, so after Luo Jingyu entered the palace gate with them, they separated.

Because the invitees are the family members of officials above the third grade, the unmarried princess in the palace is also among them, and sitting not far from the queen is the family members of the two prime ministers and three marquis, Rong Wan saw Mrs. Changping Marquis and Murong Yurao at a glance, and sitting opposite them was Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Yongle Hou of Yongle Mansion.

And the seats at this banquet are arranged according to rank, and they are already civilians. Naturally, sit at the very end of the banquet.

Only then did the gap come to an end. As ordinary people, how different are they from the high-ranking Hou Mansion.

The palace maids in palace clothes shuttled through the banquet, and the dancing girls in the open space in the middle stretched out their slender limbs gracefully and turned around gracefully. Qin Se and Ming. It's so unpleasant.

Qi stood in place and was stunned. sat down, and Rong Wan and Rong Jun also sat down.

There was a lot of excitement at the table, but none of this had anything to do with them. Just because the closest to them are also the families of the third-grade officials, they are not familiar with them, so naturally there is nothing to say.

The stage has been set up in advance, and when the banquet is dispersed, the palace maid comes up to remove the things and put some melons and fruits to relieve the heat for the ladies and ladies to use as snacks when they watch the play.

Rong Wan has no preference for opera, just to pass the time, but not long after the play opened, a palace maid came from a distance to the queen's side and said a few words, and then came to Qi's side.

Rong Wan and Rong Jun sat beside the Qi family on the left and right, and listened to the words of the palace maid clearly.

"Madam, the maid is served by the side of the prince's concubine, the prince's concubine has just given birth to the little prince, and her body is not safe, and she has a lot of contacts with the noble lady when she is in the boudoir, so she wants to meet the noble lady."

The palace maids spoke respectfully, and they did not have a bad attitude because they were commoners, and said that Luo Qian's title of Qi's wife when he was alive would not let the Qi family reject it more.

In fact, the conflict between Rong Wan and Qi Yanran caused everyone in Bianjing City to know, and the Qi family would not know about it, but Qi Yanran was already the prince's concubine at the moment, and she gave birth to the first little imperial grandson, and her dignity in the future would be even more obvious, and anyone would have to weigh three points before refusing her request.

What's more, they don't have the confidence to disobey Qi Yanran's orders.

Qi didn't think much about it, so he nodded and said to Rong Wan beside him, "You go with her!" ”

Rong Wan knew that there was no room for argument, nodded, stood up, and walked out of the imperial garden with the palace maid.

The prince lives in the East Palace, which is not really far from the Imperial Garden, so Rong Wan walked with the palace maid for only a few quarters of an hour, and then arrived at the East Palace, and most of the masters of the East Palace went to the banquet, so only Qi Yanran was left in the palace.

The palace maid took Rong Wan to a palace, stopped, announced, and when the inside answered, the palace maid stretched out her hand and motioned for Rong Wan to go in.

Since you have arrived at the door, you naturally have to enter.

Rong Wan followed the palace maid in the hall to the inner hall, and saw a woman lying on the bed, naturally it was Qi Yanran.

Rong Wanfu bowed and said, "Say hello to the side concubine." ”

Qi Yanran sat up straight, when the full moon came out, she looked no different from usual, and her complexion returned to her usual ruddy, the most important thing was that she couldn't blow the wind.

Qi Yanran glanced at Rong Wan twice, didn't speak in a hurry, just took the tonic handed by Lian Mama's hand, and after drinking it carefully, she looked at Rong Wan, "Ah Wan, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”

Rong Wan replied, "If you go back to the side concubine, everything will be fine with the people's daughter." ”、

Qi Yanran smiled and shook her head, completely losing her previous anger, but with a hint of helplessness in her gentle voice, "Awan, you are my cousin, why do you need to be so estranged?" ”

Obviously, before entering the palace, Tong Rong Wan still looked like you were alive and dead, but after this year, it has changed a lot, Rong Wan knows that Qi Yanran in this life is no longer dough, and she is allowed to be rubbed and kneaded.

It's just that she pleaded with Qi Yanran to blame the past, and she really didn't have that mind.

She just felt that Qi Yanran called her over, just to let her see how majestic Qi Yanran was now, the two were hostile at the beginning, and now they should regret it, and they should kneel on the ground and beg for her forgiveness.

It's just that Qi Yanran's hopes this time are about to be disappointed.

Rong Wan stood there and said quietly, "The concubines of the people were in a hostile state a year ago, how could they have been like glue?" ”

After saying this, Qi Yanran's face turned from red to white. turned from white to red again, probably because she didn't think about it, just when she was in full swing, Rong Wan still disdained her very much.

Thinking about how proud she was at the beginning, now begging for a life in this palace gate, and seeing the woman who was inferior to her before, she actually had a sense of dissatisfaction in her heart, and even thought, what if she didn't enter this palace gate?

Then he abandoned the idea. The person she married. is the current prince, the future prince, if the prince deserves a big responsibility, he will give birth to a prince with her. The position of the four concubines is indispensable. What's more, she can be a concubine.

Come to mind. Qi Yanran felt a little better in her heart.

But now that the matter has been solved, there is no need to hide it, she snorted coldly. "Since my cousin is so serious, then I don't know how to calculate the account between me and my cousin?"

Rong Wan was stunned, the account between them, for Qi Yanran, must always be remembered, after all, the rumors in the market started because of her, and Qi Yanran was pulled down from the position of the crown princess.

Otherwise, she may be the incomparably noble princess now, and if she gives birth to Lin'er at this time, the limelight will naturally be stronger than now, and now, with the princess on her head, she is always uncomfortable if she wants to do something.

And all of this is because of Rong Wan, probably Qi Yanran should hate her the most in her heart!

Rong Wan knew this matter well, but if it wasn't for Qi Yanran's calculations in front of her, how could she let Qi Yanran's reputation be tarnished.

Thinking about it, Rong Wan said, "If it weren't for the side concubine calculating the people's daughter, how could the people's daughter ruin the reputation of the side concubine by mistake?" ”

It's a pity that Qi Yanran couldn't listen to anything, she glanced at Mama Lian, but heard Mama Lian say, "Luo's Rongwan dares to slander the side concubine, it's really a big disrespectful crime, come here, drag her out, and reward twenty boards." ”

Rong Wan was stunned for a moment, naturally she didn't expect that Qi Yanran would move her at this time, today is the full moon of the little emperor's grandson, if it is publicized, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The woman's cane blames, because Rong Wan is a civilian, she naturally wants to take off her lower body clothes, but this time it is not only a skin and a flesh break, but also a loss of face, if Rong Wan goes out of the East Palace like this, I am afraid that ordinary ladies will choose to commit suicide!

Rong Wan had a cold face, and seeing that the palace maid had stepped forward, she said, "Concubine Qi, today is the full moon of the little emperor's grandson, do you want to see blood today?" ”

"I heard that the saint doesn't like the little emperor's grandson, if I learn that Concubine Qi is going to commit the taboo of the little prince today, I don't know what the saint will think?"

"The crown princess doesn't seem to have anything to do, if she has a child under her knees who can bear joy, I'm afraid she will be very happy."

Hearing what Rong Wan said, the palace maid standing beside her didn't know whether to drag Rong Wan down according to Mama Lian's instructions.

However, what Rong Wan said was serious, and the palace maid could still hear it, so she lowered her eyebrows and waited for Qi Yanran to give another order.

Qi Yanran didn't think about not using the punishment today, but when she thought of having the opportunity to do Rong Wan, she still couldn't help it, so she had to go along with it, although her face was still cold.

She spoke, a little stiffly said, "I just made a joke with Ah Wan, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you a little tightly, if you don't go back, I'm afraid that my aunt will worry about it again, so I won't keep you more." ”

Fang Cai's words made Qi Yanran think of one thing, not only her own people in this palace, maybe there is His Royal Highness the Prince, or maybe there is the crown princess, if Fang Cai's words are leaked, it will also be a trouble.

So there was another remedy.

Rong Wan thought that as long as she could get out of the East Palace, there would be nothing to worry about.

It's just that this time she let Rong Wan know that if Qi Yanran gets the opportunity, I'm afraid that she will be the first to suffer, and she will undoubtedly be the first, not to mention that Qi Yanran is the identity of the prince's side concubine, and her position will always be higher than herself, and if she wants to kill herself, she can find a very ordinary reason.

Thinking about it, Rong Wan hurriedly pushed her outside the hall, and the palace maid who led her back again.

It's just that before they left the door of the East Palace, they saw another palace maid stop them, and the position of this palace maid was naturally higher than the palace maid who led her way.

I only heard the palace maid who led the way bowed slightly, and said respectfully to the palace maid, "Aunt Xuan." ”

The palace maid nodded, looked at Rong Wan and said, "This is Luo's Rong Wan?" ”

Rong Wan answered and said yes.

As soon as the words fell, the person called Aunt Xuan looked at her again, and then said, "Let's go, the crown princess is waiting for you." ”

Rong Wan was stunned, and the palace maid beside her naturally didn't dare to argue, so she had no choice but to walk over with Aunt Xuan.

She remembered that when she came, the crown princess Cai Yuji was still watching the play with the queen, why did she also arrive at the East Palace after a while?

The palace where the crown princess is located is naturally much more gorgeous than the side concubine, and when Rong Wan entered, she saw the crown princess sitting in front of the bronze mirror and dressing up.

After Rong Wan saluted, she stood aside, and the princess didn't speak to her, so she stood behind the princess politely and didn't say a word. After the crown princess combed her makeup, she turned around and looked at Rong Wan.

If it is said that the crown princess used to have more elegant atmosphere, but after more than a year in the East Palace, she has long since lost her previous appearance, but is luxurious and solemn, and there is still a trace of sorrow in her eyebrows.

It was also the side concubine who gave birth to her eldest son one step ahead of her, which was enough to hurt her mind for a while. What's more, this eldest son, since he was born, has been infinitely beautiful, maybe she will think that this scenery should have been her son.

Rong Wan remembered that the crown princess saw her for the first time, and her tone was very bad.

And listening to the crown princess speak again, it was different from the past everywhere, "You just came out of Concubine Qi?" ”

I was afraid that the people in the East Palace already knew about it, and they didn't plan to hide it, so they nodded and said yes.

"I heard that when I was in the boudoir, although Concubine Qi had close contacts with you, most of them were bad things, and there was a great conflict because of this, what did Concubine Qi do with you?" The crown princess seemed to be just chatting casually, asking questions because she didn't understand.

Rong Wan didn't say anything about her previous words, but said, "Concubine Qi is just looking for a folk girl to catch up with the past." ”

The crown princess didn't ask any more, and said casually, "In this palace, there is something to say very well, if you are free when you are free, it is better to go into the palace to chat with the palace." ”

"The people's girls are just fly-headed people, and they don't deserve to be so important to the crown princess." Rong Wan frowned, but she rejected categorically, thinking that the crown princess might be angry, but seeing that she just smiled and didn't care.

Just waved his hand casually, "You go down first!" ”

Rong Wan responded and withdrew.

The maidservant who led the way was afraid that she had already gone back to restore her life, and this Aunt Xuan was a figure beside the crown princess at a glance, and it was impossible to send her away.

She had no choice but to walk out of the East Palace, and according to the memory of when she came, she walked towards the imperial garden.

Although it took half a moment longer than when he came, he still walked into the Imperial Garden safely, and the scene at this time had just come to an end.

She walked to her side and sat down slowly, Qi was still watching the play, and there was no reaction to Rong Wan's arrival, but Rong Jun, seeing her come back, asked with concern, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

Rong Wan nodded, "It's okay." ”

Thinking about it, he looked at the stage quietly. (To be continued.) )
