Situ Mansion produced a champion of civil and military affairs, and even the emperor personally issued a holy decree to invite the eldest lady of Situ Mansion to present a song at the Qionglin banquet. All of a sudden, rumors were spreading in the capital. And Situ Mansion was in the midst of the storm, but he was more cautious than usual.

After Situ Yan received the holy decree, he immediately asked the dark night to tighten the guards inside and outside the mansion, and even all the subordinates in the mansion were not allowed to go out except for Cui Ping, the head of the inner courtyard, Wu Guo, the head of the outer court, and Li Youzhu, the head of the shop, and Situ Jin's scholar. No one is even allowed to move between the courtyards. The back door and side doors are all sealed, and those who enter and exit are only allowed to enter and exit through the main entrance, as if they are facing a great enemy.

And after Duanmu Xuan discussed with his father, he rushed to Situ Mansion to see his sweetheart. But he didn't tell what he thought in his heart, he just came to determine whether Situ Yan would attend the Qionglin banquet.

"Yan'er, the emperor's 'Huiwu Banquet' and 'Qionglin Banquet' are co-organized, and the banquet brings together the world's learned scholars and martial talents, are you afraid?"

"So what? I'm just a woman, I can't compete with these people for fame, and I can't pursue profit with them. ”

"Sure enough, she is from a famous family in Situ Mansion, and Yan'er is really different." Duanmu Xuan knocked on the side, it was already confirmed that Situ Yan would attend the Qionglin banquet, and he was inevitably happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show a trace on his face. Situ Yan is so smart, even if he only shows one look, he may be recognized by him. At that time, I was afraid that Situ Yan would come up with a way and refused to go to the banquet.

"Brother Xuan is here today to worry about me, or is there another purpose?" Although Duanmu Xuan didn't say much, Situ Yan's sixth sense was beyond the reach of ordinary people. As soon as these words came out, Duanmu Xuangang put down his heart. Lifted it up again, and coughed lightly to cover it up.

The emperor suddenly decreed, and Yan'er didn't like to be watched. I hate flattery and pandering, I'm just afraid that Yan'er will feel uncomfortable on such an occasion! ”

"No matter how uncomfortable I am, the emperor decreed, unless I die at this moment, otherwise for the sake of the two brothers, I will definitely go to this unlucky Hongmen banquet!" In Situ Yan's eyes, what a Qionglin banquet. What kind of martial arts banquet, it is all villains who pretend to be noble with masks, and she is also the most shameful. The most annoying.

Duanmu Xuan knew that Situ Yan valued family affection the most, but he calculated his sweetheart, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly into Situ Yan's eyes. And Situ Yan's mind is full of tomorrow's things. Although the sixth sense told her that Duanmu Xuan was different from usual. But now there are too many worries, and she has no time to be distracted.

"Brother Xuan, you tell me about the rules in the palace, but I don't know how much you can remember in these few hours. I hope there won't be any big mistakes tomorrow that will drag down the two brothers! ”

"Yan'er just be herself, I am in the palace, and nothing can go wrong. Besides, the emperor has already said it. Not counted. Yan'er can rest assured! ”

"The emperor is saying that small mistakes are not taken care of, in case I offend Tianwei. Sweeping the royal face, that's not a trivial matter! Situ Yan just didn't want to trouble her brother because of her mistakes, if it weren't for the two brothers, she wouldn't even go tomorrow.

"Yan'er, you believe me, no matter what big thing, as long as I am here, I will definitely keep you safe!"

"Of course I believe you, but there's nothing wrong with making some preparations!" Duanmu Xuan felt that this was also the case, so he told Situ Yan everything in the palace as etiquette.

After talking for two hours, I only talked about seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, "Oh my God, what a broken place, so many rules, tomorrow I will die!" ”

"Yan'er is not allowed to say some unlucky words, it is natural that the rules in the palace are great, as long as Yan'er is herself, everything is arranged by me!"

"Thank you! I'm really counting on you tomorrow! According to Situ Yan's temperament, she is reluctant to ask for help, but I heard Duanmu Xuan say just now that the rules in this palace are really not something that ordinary people can abide by, and she can't cope with it alone. So Situ Yan, who doesn't ask for anything, also has times when she bows her head.

Duanmu Xuan is even more happy in his heart, his sweetheart can rely on him, trust him and even entrust himself to him, this is the first time. After returning home happily, I didn't close my eyes all night. But when I woke up the next day, I was still full of energy.

In addition to the Guogong Mansion and the Situ Mansion in Beijing this night, there is also a mansion that is also brightly lit all night, the study of the Great Situ Mansion, Cheng Feng and a group of staff gathered, "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor ordered Miss Situ to perform a song at the Qionglin banquet, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can I get the emperor to give Miss Situ to me as a wife, and please help me get an idea!" ”

"Young master, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy, first, you already have a marriage contract, and Lord Situ will not agree. The second is that the other party is from a famous family, if you regret your marriage in public, you are afraid that you will have a stiff relationship with the other party, and then Lord Situ will inevitably not be reprimanded by the emperor! ”

"Yes, young master, since you are destined to have no chance with Miss Situ, it is better to give up earlier, why bother to be the enemy of the Guogong Mansion!"

"Okay, if you don't help me, forget it, anyway, I'm still the same sentence, if I don't get it, I'll destroy it!"

"It's not easy to ask for marriage, but it's not difficult to destroy. In the palace, the slightest mistake will lead to death, that Miss Situ has never entered the palace, as long as the young master makes some trips, I don't believe she can escape! ”

"Do you think that when she enters the palace, the Guogong Mansion will not make arrangements? There are concubines and seven princes in the palace, but I'm afraid that we will stumble on our side, so she can't help it! ”

"This Miss Situ is a good fate, there is an iron-blooded guard of the Guogong Mansion outside the house, and there is a noble concubine in the palace, and now there are two champions in the house. Now, even if it is rumored that she was born from an immortal family, I believe it. ”

"Okay, what's the use of talking about this now, it's the right thing to do to help me figure out a way!" The Great Situ Mansion discussed all night, and as for the result, it was only waiting for tomorrow to see at the Qionglin banquet.

Situ Yan slept very unsteadily this night, and even dreamed of her grandmother in her previous life, who got up before dawn.

"Miss, why don't you sleep a little more, it's still early?"

"I don't sleep, my heart is not stable! Wake up early and do some preparation, and hope that everything goes well today! ”

"Miss, don't worry, with the eldest young master and Duanmu Gongzi by your side, you can't go wrong!" Cui Ping comforted Situ Yan while helping her dress. In fact, Cui Ping's heart is also very uneasy. But she was a house slave and couldn't enter the palace at all.

"Cuiping, where did this dress come from?" Situ Yan was still thinking about things when she was dressing. So I didn't notice it, and when I got dressed, I realized that it was wrong, and Cui Ping actually chose a pink dress embroidered with gold thread for her.

"Miss, this dress was originally the belongings of the first lady, and the slave maid modified it last night, and it is just right for you to wear it into the palace!"

"Not good, it's gorgeous. I entered the palace only to perform, not to offer beauty, just change the sky blue embroidered silver thread. Then cover the outside with a cigarette light color gauze! ”

"Miss, isn't this too plain?"

"The more plain the better, the more inconspicuous the better! It's not about participating in a beauty pageant, what do you want to do so eye-catching! Although Cui Ping couldn't understand Situ Yan's words. You can still do it. Anyway, the eldest lady's idea. You can't go wrong.

"Miss, there are several shops with your bald head, but look at this jewelry box, there are not even any decent beads!" Cui Ping was a little aggrieved for her master. The eldest lady operates dozens of shops in the two counties, but she doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry.

"It's good to be simple, the head of this set of white jade jade is good, and with the same necklace and bracelet, it just sets off this dress!"

"Where's the good. This set of heads is made of silver, not even a little golden! ”

"Okay Cuiping. Good aunt, just listen to me! This set is really good. If you follow me, you won't wear a set! "Where does Cui Ping dare to say more, if she provokes Miss, she can really do it.

Dressed neatly, Situ Yan took a photo in front of the mirror, which was good and elegant, giving people a sense of light and light. It is also glamorous and luxurious. stroked the jade pendant on his waist with his hand, this jade pendant was a gift from Duanmu Xuan before. It is warm and flawless, and she likes it very much.

"Miss, this piece of jade is a good thing, Duanmu Gongzi has a heart!" Cui Ping hopes that the eldest lady can marry into the Guogong Mansion, in her eyes, the eldest lady is still the daughter of a scholarly family in Jiangnan, and she should enter the Gaomen compound to be the housewife.

"Well, I love it too!" Situ Yan smiled, and the master and servant were chatting happily when they heard a knock on the door outside the house.

"Yan'er is up!"

"Brother, come in! How about the dress I chose? Cui Ping went to open the door for Situ Jin and invited him into the inner room.

"My little sister is really like that hibiscus out of the water!" Situ Jin's eyes not only lit up, but the little sister was really beautiful when she was dressed like this.

"My brother would have joked about me! It's just a yellow-haired girl, where can it compare to hibiscus flowers! ”

"Why not, my little sister is a fairy in the sky, where can the worldly things be compared!"

"Okay, brother, I know that you love your sister, but you don't boast like that!" The brother and sister were jokingly chatting when they heard a question outside.

"Little Five can get up!"

Situ Yan hurriedly said, "It's the third brother, I'm up early, please come in!" Li Sanlang wore a navy blue embroidered green bamboo robe today, which just echoed Situ Jin's robe embroidered with white embroidered cold plums. This is also specially prepared by Situ Yan for the two.

"The elder brother and the third brother really fit very well!"

"It's still the best looking for Xiao Wu!" Li Sanlang was almost obsessed, and he didn't dare to look up with a slight red face.

"That's, I'm naturally beautiful!" Situ Yan's fairy tale caused the three of them to laugh more than once.

It took some morning, the three of them took the carriage to the palace, although the Qionglin banquet was at noon, but they had to enter the palace early in the morning, this palace gate, one by one etiquette walked down, I am afraid it is almost noon.

Situ Yan got out of the carriage, and a female official in the palace came to greet her, she and Situ Jin couldn't go through the same door, "Don't worry, Yan'er, Ziheng has already arranged it, you just have to go!" ”

"Got it, brother, be careful! Third brother, be careful! "Now is not the time for the three of them to talk more, so they told each other, that is, they separated.

"Miss!" As soon as Situ Yan walked into the palace gate, she saw a person walking up next to her and gently grabbed her arm.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here?" The person who came was none other than the iron-blooded guard Chiyu.

"The young master arranged for his subordinates to enter the palace early this morning, and now his subordinates are already a palace maid in the palace of the noble concubine." Duanmu Xuan thought about her everywhere, and Situ Yan's heart warmed. Maybe it was because of these little things he did that he had subtly moved her.

"Thank you!" Situ Yan suppressed her voice and said thank you to Chiyu, how can it be so easy to enter and exit the palace, although Duanmu Xuan also took a big risk, but Chiyu can be dedicated to her, how can she not say thank you.

"Don't worry, Miss, this female official is also from the Guogong Mansion, if Miss doesn't understand anything, just ask her!"

"I've seen Miss Situ, this is not a place to talk, Miss just follow the slave!" Situ Yan really didn't know what else to say, but she didn't expect to use all the eyeliner in the palace for her Duanmu Xuan.

"Okay, thank you!" The three of them walked while paying attention to the surroundings, this imperial city is really big, Situ Yan had been to the Forbidden City in Beijing in his previous life, the layout of this imperial city is quite similar to the Forbidden City, and even more magnificent. Emperor Wei is extravagant, just see this palace can see one or two.

Situ Yan felt that although the Wei Emperor was brutal to the people, only this palace left something for future generations to comment. Emperor Wu moved the capital here, and I don't know if I will be obsessed with this palace when I see it. If that's the case, then this Emperor Wu will soon become the same as Emperor Wei.

But she just thinks about it, opens her five senses, and pays attention to her surroundings calmly, she doesn't represent her alone now, once she makes a mistake, it will only affect others.

"Chiyu, is there any movement over there in Da Situ Mansion?"

"Miss, rest assured, the young master had long expected that Cheng Feng would not let go of this opportunity, and the dark stake of the Great Situ Mansion had been uprooted last night. I'm afraid that Cheng Feng is still dreaming at this moment! ”

"That's good!" The Great Situ Mansion is what Situ Yan is most worried about, after all, he is in the palace, and there is no chance of winning against the Great Situ Mansion.

"Miss, after the Imperial Garden in front, walk for a while to Qionglin Pavilion!" Situ Yan had been walking for almost an hour, but she didn't expect to walk to the Imperial Garden. Duanmu Xuan gave her a layout map of the palace last night, she studied most of the night, and finally wrote it down, but when she looked at the map, although she felt that the palace was not small, she realized that it was really outrageous.

"If the young lady is tired, you might as well rest in the imperial garden, there is a Qionglin banquet today, this imperial garden is a must-pass place, so the ladies of each palace are staying in the palace, afraid that the foreign man will collide with the phoenix!"

"Since it's a must-go, let's go, in case we run into some big people, it's not good!"

"Miss, don't worry, this imperial garden is very big, and the slave knows a quiet place, just to avoid the people who go to the banquet!"

"It's okay, it's still early, and I'm tired of walking, so let's rest!" Situ Yan, accompanied by the female official and Chiyu, found a pavilion and sat down.

This pavilion is in a grove of flowers and trees, and there is a rockery not far away, which is really hidden.

"Thank you, lady, this pavilion is very good!"

"The subordinates are also the people of the Iron Guard, so the young lady doesn't need to be so polite!"

"I call it like this, but it is also to prevent the partition wall from having ears and causing unnecessary trouble to the female officer!" This female official is also the secret stake of the iron-blooded guard in the imperial city, the young master likes a little girl from a cloth dress, she has also heard of it, and she didn't care about it at first, thinking that someone was spreading a lie. But now that I see it, I know that although this woman is young, she has outstanding appearance, and her scheming is beyond the reach of ordinary people. (To be continued.) )
