Zhao Qiqi slowly entered the palace with the carriage of Yong'an Houfu. In the middle of the carriage sat Mrs. Zhao, and Zhao Seventeen and his mother, Mrs. Zhao, sat on either side. Next to the carriage were the brothers Zhao Chengen and Zhao Chengluo.

At this time, it was already dusk, and this was the first time Zhao XVII had entered the palace. From this morning, she began to bathe, take care of her skin, and take care of her hair under the service of six slaves.

After leaving the hot spring bath, a group of slaves and maids, old mothers, and several aunts from her father in Yong'an Houfu all circled around her, helping to pick up jewelry, clothes, and even a small waist accessory, which was also discussed by everyone.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion understood that this was the first time that their young lady and Empress Lu appeared in front of the Gaomen gentry of Xiling as the seventeenth lady of the Yongen Houfu, and entered the palace to meet the emperor and concubine as the future seventh princess.

After the sedan chair fell at the gate of the palace, several palace maids and eunuchs greeted them and took the road for them.

The male and female guests of the dinner were set up separately, and the emperor held a banquet in the Chengping Hall to entertain the courtiers and the wealthy merchants of Xiling who had contributed to the disaster.

Among the concubines, the concubine Zhong Siwu was the leader of the banquet in Yongning Palace. After the banquet, go to Shuiyun Pavilion to enjoy the song and dance with the emperor.

Zhao Qiqi followed the palace maid through the zigzag nine-curved corridor and came to the palace gate of Yongning Palace, where several palace maids and little eunuchs greeted him, bowed and said, "Slave."

I just said hello to Mrs. Hou and the young ladies! Concubine Zhen is invited! ”

Old Madam Zhao sighed, "Please lead the way!" ”

Zhao Qiqi held the right arm of Old Madam Shen, and as soon as she entered the palace gate, a strong fragrance came to her nose, making her unconsciously slow down her steps, and looked at the past, only

I saw that there were large patches of purple and red flower beds in front of the main hall, and colorful butterflies and bees were playing in the sunset!

Concubine Zhen was sitting at the top of the main hall of Yongning Palace at this time, talking to several women.

Concubine Zhen returned to the palace for seven or eight days, after she recuperated from her injuries in King Ning's mansion, Lan Ting ignored her opposition and insisted on sending her to the fiefdom, but who knew that she was rejected by the emperor's decree.

and sent Zhao Gonggong to Ning Wangfu to welcome Concubine Zhen back to the palace to recuperate. Although Concubine Zhen was a little surprised that the emperor suddenly fell in love with herself, this move was exactly what she wanted, so she sat down

The palanquin back to the palace.

After this bath incident, Concubine Zhen was also disappointed in Lanting. Thinking about it, in the end, he couldn't help his mother, and he almost died in the hands of Shen Qianran, but in exchange for his son, he wanted to send him to the fief for recuperation. After feeling guilty, Concubine Zhen will no longer let the little eunuch guard the palace gate and block King Ning every day.

The little eunuch shouted in a sharp voice, "Old Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao Hou, and Miss Zhao of Yong'an Houfu are here!" ”

Concubine Zhen had been paying close attention to the young lady of the Zhao family, and at this time, she couldn't help but look up at the door of the main hall, only to see a pink-clothed girl helping Old Madam Shen to step into the threshold of the main hall.

Under the palace lamp, Zhao Qiqi's bright and sunny smile instantly won Concubine Zhen's heart. She also noticed that her demeanor was full of innocence and innocence, her eyebrows were soothing, and her eyes were as clear as dew after the sun. She was secretly happy in her heart, and she didn't wait for the palace people to take the way, so she stepped forward and took her hand first, and smiled at Mrs. Zhao with her head sideways, "Nianqing, I didn't expect you to give birth to such a lovely daughter, no wonder this palace heard that this Zhao Mansion spoiled this girl to the sky!" According to the palace, if it is the daughter of the palace, I am afraid that the palace will worry about it every day in the future! ”

Yao Nianqing hadn't replied yet, Zhao Qiqi had already said "Huh", and asked with a puzzled look in his moist eyes, "Why should Niangniang worry?" Seventeen doesn't get into trouble! ”

Concubine Zhen looked at the temperament of such a little daughter, and she liked it even more, so she patted her little hand and smiled, "I'm afraid to be scared when I put it on my head, and I'm afraid to melt when I put it in my mouth." You say, shouldn't this palace be worried? ”

All the ladies have stood up, gathered around, and laughed lively, and now everyone can see that the Liu family has fallen, and Concubine Xiao Shu has not come out, this harem is the world of Concubine Zhen.

Old Madam Zhao was so happy that her eyes narrowed into a line, "Let the lady smile, this girl is now fifteen years old, and she really doesn't know etiquette." Look, I haven't said hello to my mother yet! ”

Zhao Qiqi's face flew with two red clouds, he hurriedly took a step back, knelt down, and simply snorted three times, "Seventeen I wish Niangniang a healthy body, everything goes well, and the more she lives, the more beautiful she becomes!" ”

This is not just a formal but sincere greeting, which makes Concubine Zhen like Zhao Qiqi more and more, and personally helps her up, and smiles at Yao Nianqing, "Nianqing, I want to wronged you, tonight, let this little girl sit on the edge of the palace!" ”

Yao Nianqing was busy with her body, and said with a smile, "The courtiers don't dare!" ”

"Everyone is almost here, let's take a seat together!" Concubine Zhen smiled and took Zhao Seventeen's hand and sat down on the main seat. The rest of the women sat down one after another under the guidance of the palace maid.

Yao Nianqing saw that Concubine Zhen was dressed in a first-class concubine court dress, and Lan Yujian disappeared at that time, because she was worried about being assassinated by the prince of the first emperor, she held the young Lan Ting and temporarily avoided the appearance of Yong'an Houfu. That raised his hand, and a foot shot was very imposing. Although there was a slight smile on their faces, a slight sweep of the corners of their eyes could also make the conversation and laughter unconsciously amplified.

Concubine Zhen was as kind to Mrs. Zhao as always, and kept instructing the eunuch and palace maid to give Mrs. Zhao vegetables. The jealousy of Mrs. Zhao, after so many years, actually remembered, which made Yao Nianqing secretly surprised, and said in her heart, the women in the palace are not simple, just with this ability, it is better for her daughter not to enter the palace. If she is really distressed, it's okay, but if she has other thoughts, I'm afraid that her simple-minded daughter will be sold and she will be moved to help count the silver.

Although Zhao Seventeen is not restrained, but after a meal, she does not talk much, she has grown up in the countryside since she was a child, although the etiquette in the palace has been practiced, but when she is happy, she will often forget jì. lest I say something wrong and fall into the laughing stock of others.

When she was in the dreary, she suddenly felt someone pulling her skirt behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw a six- or seven-year-old girl with clear eyebrows grinning desperately at her.

"Sister, let's go out and pick flowers, Xiu'er sees a lot of beautiful flowers planted here, and butterflies are flying!" Wen Xiu ate a few bites at the other table and secretly moved her ass to play, but unfortunately she was the youngest here, and she couldn't find a partner, so she looked back and forth, and only Zhao Qiqi and her age difference was not too big.

Zhao Qiqi couldn't sit still for a long time, and after listening to it, he was in the middle of it. She stood up and said to Concubine Zhen, "Niangniang, Seventeen is a person who likes flowers, can you let Seventeen go to the garden to take a look." Seventeen guarantees, only watching, no touching! "I remembered that in the past, she broke her aunt's ten-mile red plum in Shuiyue Nunnery, and later learned that this plum blossom only blooms once in three years. And this is the palace compound, even if it is an ordinary flower, it may not be a strange flower.

"Pick it if you like it!" Concubine Zhen patted Zhao Qiqi's hand fondly, "Which one do you like, go back to the palace and let someone send it to your house." There aren't many good things here in Hongu, but there are all kinds of flowers and plants! ”

When Zhao Qiqi took the embroidery out, the little girl arrived in the garden, suddenly shook her hand, turned around, and asked angrily with a small face, "You are my brother Lan Jin's daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhao Qiqi was taken aback, and asked rhetorically with some confusion, "Who are you?" ”

"I am Lan Jin's daughter-in-law, and my name is Wenxiu! Literary text, splendid embroidery! Wen Xiu raised her eyebrows, clenched her fists, and pointed at herself with a crooked thumb, "Brother Lan Jin is the first thing I fancied, and I also warmed his bed, you can't rob him!" "She ran to the Rui Wang's Mansion now that she was fine, and she was the king and hegemon in the Rui Wang's Mansion, and no one was in charge, and she had a much more leisurely life. Suddenly, I heard my mother say that the emperor gave King Rui a marriage, and after King Rui's wedding, King Rui's mansion will be decided by the hostess, and she will not be happy when she hears it!

She thought about it for a long time before she came up with the idea that if she was the mistress of Rui Wang's Mansion, then no one could rob her of her territory.

Zhao Qiqi couldn't laugh at such a challenge, took her hand, squatted down, and responded seriously, "Okay, I remember, His Royal Highness Lan Jin is your father-in-law, I can't rob it!" ”

Wen Xiu stretched out her hand very satisfied, and comforted her very righteously, "When I find a better place, I will give you Brother Lan Jin!" ”

After the banquet, Concubine Zhen arranged several bedrooms for the wives and young ladies to rest. The beauties of the famous families hurriedly found a place to retouch their makeup, and everyone knew that the Third Highness and the Seventh Highness would be here tonight.

Although, everyone has heard that the Third Highness is in love with the second lady of the Shen family, and the Seventh Highness was given marriage by the emperor, it does not affect the dream of spring for these girls in the boudoir.

Palace Night Banquet, Shuiyun Pavilion.

Concubine Zhen and Concubine Shu have changed into court clothes, and the eunuch will lead the way to attend the feast with the emperor.

At this time, the moonlight is getting thicker, and the Xiling Palace is as bright as new. The moonlight poured on the figures in front of the palace steps, and Zhao Qiqi and his party were led into the Shuiyun Pavilion by the eunuch palace maid, and were led by the palace maid in the Shuiyun Pavilion to sit down.

Zhao Seventeen rarely appeared in the capital, only relying on some of the Zhao family's relatives and domestic slaves, Zhao Seventeen has not yet grown, and it is already a fallen city. There are not many people who really see the true face, and this year's teahouse is even more talkative that the daughter of Ning Chang'an, the first beauty of Xiling, returned to the capital from Dongyue, changed her face, and became the first beauty known to Xiling people.

Although Zhao XVII was given marriage by the emperor, he was not noticed by everyone.

And tonight she was dressed up by her family and dressed up to attend. As soon as he entered, there was a slight commotion.

Fifteen-year-old girl, dressed in pink, glamorous!

Zhao Qiqi was led to the long case on the left in the second row, and sat with her father, grandmother, and mother. She knew that the first row on the left and right was assigned to the children of the royal family, and the distinguished guests of the emperor's special banquet tonight!

Nearly half an hour later, before the figure of the emperor's concubine was seen, Zhao Qiqi sat upright from the ground, feeling that this kind of banquet was simply a kind of torture.

I saw the little girl embroidered again, regardless of the control of adults, jumping up and down and playing between each table, not only did everyone not think she was troublesome, but they vied to give her some delicious candied fruit on the table.

She was envious, and when she was about to raise her hand to let the little girl come over to accompany her, she heard the shrill shout of the eunuch outside the hall, "The emperor has arrived!" Concubine Zhen, Concubine Shu, His Royal Highness King Ning, His Royal Highness King Rui has arrived! ”

All the officials and women of Shuiyun Pavilion knelt down and shouted in unison.

Lan Yuyan was dressed in bright yellow, after stepping into the hall, his footsteps did not stop, and he walked straight to the high platform, and after sitting down, a light voice sounded, "From Qing's body!" Sit! ”

After Zhao Qiqi got up, he first helped his grandmother, and when he turned around to help his mother on the right, he saw a black-robed man sitting alone on the opposite side.

Under the palace lamp, his phoenix eyes were long and narrow, narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. As soon as he sat down, he leaned lazily on the handrail next to him, and the luxurious black satin brocade robe flowed out.

She forgot the rest of her movements in shock, and at that moment, every nerve of the Buddha was frozen, and she stood straight like this, until her mother entrusted her, and she sat down in a trance like a sting.

Why is he here? The place where he sits is clearly a prince can sit! The eunuch reported that only two princes entered the palace, and the one sitting in front of her made her faintly identify that it was Lan Jin. Then the other side is King Ning?

The man she had dreamed of for three years turned out to be the prince! If not, why did he keep falling into her dream, disturbing for three years! If there is fate, but the emperor gave her to marry His Royal Highness the Seventh, what kind of confusion is this?

She subconsciously wondered if there was a shadow of the girl in the clothes on the desk behind him, and I don't know if it was too far away, or because she had only seen the masked appearance of the girl in the clothes, and after searching hard, she felt that everyone was and no one looked like anyone!

Mrs. Zhao saw that her daughter's palms were sweating coldly, and she looked at a prince in front of her in a trance, and saw that the man's appearance was indeed extraordinary, and she had guessed seven or eight points in her heart.

She leaned over gently, secretly squeezed her daughter's hand again, and gently reminded her in her ear, "Seventeen, don't be rude!" ”

Mrs. Zhao followed her eyes for a week, and she was worried that her daughter was too out of shape and was rude on the spot, but now she realized that her daughter was not the only one who was secretly staring at the prince. Many of the girls on the opposite side also had pretty faces, and frequently looked shyly at Lan Jin, the Seventh Highness who was directly in front of them.

Zhao Qiqi didn't hear his mother's words clearly, but just turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhao blankly, Mrs. Zhao was shocked, she saw that her daughter's eyes were hiding unspeakable confusion, pain, grievances, madness, and ...... Hatred!

Mrs. Zhao's heart froze, this shouldn't be her daughter's eyes, the little seventeen in front of her clearly seemed to be a different person, although she had the same face.

She suddenly wanted to rebel against what she said to her before entering the palace. So that she didn't have to worry about the emperor's marriage, she just repeatedly told her to send her back to Jiangnan after Zhao Qiqi and Xu.

She also mentioned Yijing's words to Yong'an Hou, Yong'an Hou's martial arts background, how could these be taboo. I just want it to be just a palace banquet, let my daughter enter the palace to meet the imperial concubine, this is the duty of a courtier, and it is not too late to send it back to Jiangnan after the palace banquet!

Mrs. Zhao faintly felt that something was wrong, she grabbed her daughter's hand tightly, didn't care if she was in pain, and while pinching hard, she lowered her voice and reminded, "Seventeen, wake up, wake up!" ”

Zhao Qiqi woke up suddenly, she suddenly touched the position of her atrium, and through the two layers of clothes, she could still feel the sharp beating sound coming from her body - pounding one by one!

It's not a dream! Just now, she thought that she was in a dream, and she saw the anxiety in Mrs. Zhao's eyes. She bit the tip of her tongue hard, letting the pain pull her thoughts out of the swirl completely.

After smiling reluctantly at Mrs. Zhao, she lowered her head in a panic in her heart. Her mind always couldn't control the disgust and alienation when he left when he left in Lishui Mansion, she didn't dare to look up at his expression again, she was too afraid that those phoenix eyes would add another injury to her heart, and her hands were crossed fiercely under her sleeves.

At this time, above the main hall, the emperor's voice sounded again, "Today, I specially invited seven folk distinguished guests, in this Jiangnan disaster, they contributed money to my Xiling, I am deeply grateful, with such cloth people, I Xiling, a magnificent country, why not prosper for a thousand years!" ”

The ministers said yes one after another.

Zhao Gonggong opened his sharp voice and shouted, "There is a distinguished guest!" ”

As soon as the eunuch passed, he saw that under the guidance of several eunuchs, several people stepped in from the main hall, and the people under the palace lamp instantly became a foil, only a woman in the middle. With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she put her hands between her abdomen and walked towards the main hall.

A silk skirt of tender color, with gold thread embroidered with ancient green vines under the cuffs and hem. It was covered with an all-over transparent openwork garment. The plain white face is more crystal clear against the background of the moonlight, and the green silk of the mane blows softly in the wind.

It's her! Although Zhao Qiqi only looked at Shen Qianran's eyes carefully, he still recognized it at a glance.

Zhao Qifang finally recovered his strength, as if he had been drained all of a sudden, soft, and even his breathing seemed to take strength to gasp out of his chest! The same clothes are delicate, the same bright moon and bright eyes, such a face, as long as you look at it, it is enough to be unforgettable for a lifetime!

Zhao Qiqi was tormented by this unprovoked emotion, and she subconsciously looked at Lan Ting.

His gaze was unabashedly affectionate, revealing a sparkling light. The black eyes stared at Shen Qianran without blinking, and there was a bright smile on the corner of his mouth.

Her eyes gradually dimmed, waves of pain in the depths of her heart gradually attacked, and she felt like she was about to suffocate, it turned out that this was the so-called love!

Master said, "I will meet, I really did!"

You don't have to look for it in the vast sea of people, when the fate comes, you will see you!

But what about the portions? If there is no fate, it is better not to see!

Concubine Zhen, who was sitting beside the emperor, quietly watched Zhao Qiqi from beginning to end, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that Zhao Qiqi had no interest in Lan Jin sitting in front of her, but looked so out of shape in Lan Ting. The little daughter's family wanted to look up, but they were very afraid that people would find out and lost their souls, and they all fell into the eyes of Concubine Zhen.

She didn't care about the so-called distinguished guests, she kept thinking in her heart, how to borrow the power of Zhao Qiqi and the Zhao family to completely eliminate Shen Qianran. Until there was a sound of exclamation and a low voice of discussion from the main hall, and Zhao Qiqi's eyes seemed to be staring at the door of the main hall very abnormally.

Concubine Zhen followed Zhao Qiqi's eyeliner and looked, her expression changed drastically, and she stood up suddenly, her whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and the original smile on the corner of her lips faded. She didn't know anything about tonight's banquet for Shen Qianran. She glanced at the emperor beside her in bewilderment, and saw that he was squinting and sitting like a situational person, even ignoring the feelings flowing between Lan Ting and Shen Qianran.

Even if it was an enemy who saw each other, Concubine Zhen didn't want to lose her dignity in this public. She slowly stretched out her trembling hand to hold the chair hand and sat down slowly.

Everyone walked to the center of the main hall, knelt down in unison, and saluted the emperor, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Lan Yuyan stood up, gave a humble salute, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said a few words of praise aloud, and everyone thanked him.

Several palace maids stepped forward to greet the distinguished guests and led them to their respective seats.

Lan Ting had already gotten up, stepped forward and walked to Shen Qianran's side without hesitation, and slowly stretched out his hand towards her, his phoenix eyes stared at her tightly, the red flame in his eyes was faintly burning, and the demon was like a poppy in the wind, "Ah Ran, come!" ”

Shen Qianran suddenly recalled that when he was emotionally moved last night, Lan Ting was extremely cautious: My heart has always been sacrificed in front of you! From then on, is it warmed by you or neglected by you, is it properly placed by you, or is it abandoned by you...... It's still just beating for you!

The people around her disappeared in front of her eyes, only him in front of her! Her heart was surrounded by water, and her eyes were full of light, and she slowly handed her hand over—

When the hands were clasped, there was a frequent gasping sound in the hall!

Zhao Qiqi's tightly clasped hands trembled so much that she couldn't even hide her sleeves, this kind of discomfort seemed to be dug out of her heart, and even she didn't have an answer. Why is it so painful, is it just because he is the person of her dreams?

She raised her head fiercely, trying to see the qiē in front of her, and told herself: this qiē had nothing to do with her, they were just passers-by in her life. She told herself over and over again: Seventeen, don't be uncomfortable, he's not you, how ridiculous your sadness is!

But the fog in front of her eyes was filled, and all the scenery instantly became blurry, and she couldn't even see his face clearly!

Lan Yuyan's face moved, but his thoughts flashed wildly with the terrifying memory of him holding Ryan under him—he had kissed, kissed, and blended his lips and tongues!

No matter how you get rid of the memories that can't disappear, like maggots crawling all over your body!

In the face of such humiliation, but he was restrained by the Jiangnan disaster, but as an emperor, he had to endure it for life, how could he be embarrassed?

He looked at the face that looked like Ning Chang'an, and suddenly became manic, only to feel a burst of pain in his chest, and a fishy sweet taste welled up from his throat, and he pressed it back again.

Ning Chang'an, a good daughter you gave birth to! What a daughter you gave birth to! Just watch from the sky, tonight, I'll make her fall from the clouds!

Shen Qianran sat beside Lan Ting generously, she knew that tonight was a Hongmen banquet, but with a man like Lan Ting by her side, what was she afraid of?

Shen Qianran smiled at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes couldn't help but sweep those attentions, some were amazing, some were disdainful, some were disdainful, some were angry, some were sighing, and some were even more envious!

The young girl dressed in pink couldn't help but let her take a few more looks.

The four eyes are like each other –

One eye bent, the head bowed, and the eyelashes poured out a gloom that could not be concealed.

The other turned his head to look at the person beside him, and the corners of his mouth raised a touch of serene elegance.

Tonight's palace banquet has really kicked off!
