When the first rays of sunlight poured from the sky, the Qiwu Palace presented a busy scene. Biwen, the eldest palace maid who had always served Xiao Chen's family, did not serve Xiao Chen's in the inner hall at this moment, but stood in the middle of the palace gate, beckoning a large group of palace maids and attendants to move various items.

Unlike several other palaces, Qiwu Palace is planted with delicate flowers, but is lined with tall trees. The scattered foliage of these trees blocks out the sunlight and adds a hint of coldness to the place for no reason.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to the custom, the emperor celebrates with the ministers in the previous dynasty, and later those Beijing officials and their families above the fifth grade will enter the inner palace to participate in the annual Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet. The emperor has not many children under his knees, and the adult princes are only the crown prince Xiao Yu, the king of Qing, Xiao Yuli, the king of Yu, Xiao Shaokang, the adult princess Roujia, the eldest princess has been married, the fourth princess and the pro-Beidi, and the eighth princess has volunteered to become a monk to pray for the royal family when she was young.

This huge Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet is actually a disguised banquet, where the queen and the concubines can see the appearance of unmarried girls in Beijing, and can also understand their character, so as to choose the right princess for the adult prince. And this year, Xiao Chen's family attaches great importance to it, which can be seen from the fact that she asked Biwen to arrange it personally. But it's no wonder that she attaches great importance to it, before this year, there was only Xiao Yu in the palace as an adult prince, but his marriage has been delayed by Jinshang until now, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in previous years is just a formality.

Biwen commanded a group of palace maids to prepare carefully a few days ago, and today was to do the final finishing before the ladies and ladies of the official family entered the palace.

"Okay?" A purple cloud silk satin skirt with a pale smoke-colored shawl, a golden silk phoenix with white pearls in the center of the towering bun, and a tassel made of the same pearls hanging down between the smooth forehead. Looking at it like this alone, Xiao Chen's face is also extremely beautiful, but her beauty is more light and dignified, not as stunning and beautiful as Concubine Qing.

Xiao Chen spoke lightly, looking at the palace that had been renovated by Biwen with satisfaction, and Shi Shiran returned to the main hall, waiting for everyone's arrival.

A moment later, a group of official wives led their carefully dressed daughters to Qiwu Palace slowly. They naturally value this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet more than Xiao Chen's, except for Du Yunjin, the stupid woman who will take the initiative to stick to the down-and-out prince, everyone else admires King Qing, who is most likely to ascend to the throne.

The Qiwu Palace, which had always been peaceful, suddenly became lively, like the branches of the woods were full of chirping birds.

When Du Yunjin arrived, the main hall of Qiwu Palace was already full of colorful ladies and misses. The ladies of the palace stood behind them with teapots in their hands, and from time to time they stepped forward to serve tea.

She is somewhat similar to Xiao Chen's today, both choose red clothes, but Xiao Chen's purple, while hers is pure red with a dark color, which invariably shows her status as the main room.

"The daughter-in-law participates in the queen mother." With the support of Yan Hui, she saluted Xiao Chen in the main hall. Not surprisingly, there was a burst of suppressed discussion behind him.

"It turns out that she is the crown princess Du Yunjin!"

"Look at the salute she did, it's really a tiger and not an anti-dog!"

"It's a pity that the prince only has one choice, otherwise how can she be the crown princess with her appearance!"

“……”

Like this, Du Yunjin listened silently, did not say anything, only slightly swept his eyes over the women who were talking about her.
