Although Gu Qingwan was a little puzzled that the female officials around Empress Chen chose to be in the Old Palace, Empress Chen obviously thought that this was a sign of loyalty, and she naturally used Haoyue a little more than before.

Gu Qingwan followed Haoyue into the inner hall, and heard the laughter of Princess Huihe through two doors, Gu Qingwan and Princess Jing glanced at each other, and then entered the inner hall together.

In addition to Queen Chen and Princess Huihe in the inner hall, even the county lord Wanhua was there, and at this time, he was sitting beside Queen Chen, and when he saw Gu Qingwan coming in, his eyes lit up.

"But here, Wanhua has urged her three times, no need to be polite, come over quickly." Empress Chen waited for Princess Jing and Gu Qingwan to curtsied, and then they glanced at Haoyue.

Haoyue responded with a smile: "The two princesses, please take a seat, the princess of Wanhua has been talking about the princess many times, and I heard that the princess is coming, so I waited by the mother's side after noon." ”

Since the last Dragon Boat Festival race, when Gu Qingwan went to the palace to greet Queen Chen, she had seen Lord Wanhua a few times. The county lord of Wanhua was afraid that she was suffocated in the palace, and she never forgot Gu Qingwan's promise to take her out of the palace, and every time Gu Qingwan came, she had to say a few words.

It's just that Empress Chen watched it tightly, and it was not easy for Princess Huai to relent, but Gu Qingwan mentioned it once but was politely rejected by Empress Chen. After that, Gu Qingwan didn't dare to mention this stubble again, so she could only occasionally bring some gadgets to compensate the county lord Wanhua every time she entered the palace. But she didn't expect that the county lord of Wanhua would remember her because of this, and heard the news that Gu Qingwan was going to enter the palace in advance, so she would stay by Queen Chen's side and wait.

"Say hello to the two imperial aunts." Lord Wanhua saluted, and when he saw Gu Qingwan sitting down, he came to Gu Qingwan's side. She glanced at Empress Chen, and when she saw that she was talking to Princess Jing, she said softly, "What did the imperial aunt bring me today?" ”

Gu Qingwan spread her hands: "I came in a hurry, I didn't bring anything else, I'll make it up to you next time." ”

"Okay, the imperial aunt is not allowed to forget like last time." The county lord of Wanhua muttered, and said, "The imperial grandmother is not allowed to go to the imperial aunt of Qingyuan tonight to help me beg the imperial grandmother if it is okay, I will also go to see the excitement first." I heard Yunting say that the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet was very lively. ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet is placed in Heqing Garden, and it is not on the fifteenth day, but on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

And the "Yunting" in the mouth of the lord of Wanhua is also surnamed Zheng, and she is the daughter of the side branch of the clan, and Queen Chen specially chose her to enter the palace to play with the lord of Wanhua, but it is not every day, but only once in five days. Because she is the cousin of the lord of Zhaoyun County, Gu Qingwan has seen it once at the flower viewing banquet of the lord of Zhaoyun County, and she also gave her Yingluo circle out of the city to make a meeting gift.

Gu Qingwan was not surprised at all when she heard that Empress Chen did not let the county lord of Wanhua attend. Prince Jing was transferred to Jiangnan, and Empress Chen couldn't figure out Emperor Yufeng's plans, so she was naturally a little apprehensive today. She has to deal with Concubine Xian and Concubine Li, and everyone is too busy to take care of herself, so it is naturally better for Lord Wanhua to stay in Yongyan Palace.

After hesitating for a while, Gu Qingwan said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet is like this every year, and there is nothing to look at. ”

This was said dryly, and the county lord of Wanhua shook Gu Qingwan's hand: "But Yun Ting said that the lights in the palace banquet are much better than those outside, and they are not bad compared to the day of Shangyuan." ”

The lights in the palace banquet are all exquisite, naturally more beautiful than the outside, but the atmosphere can be talked about, the environment in the palace is restrictive, and it is not as comfortable as outside the palace.

In the past few years, Miss Gu San has not attended the palace banquet. It's nothing more than because Miss Gu San quarreled with the girl from the Household Squire's Mansion when she participated in the palace banquet for the first time, and the Gu family felt embarrassed, so every time she went to the palace banquet, Miss Gu San would happen to be "sick".

"Aunt Huang, help me, I haven't been to the palace banquet, I just want to follow and have a look, so I won't cause trouble." The voice of the county lord of Wanhua was very sad.

Lord Wanhua is only six years old this year, and the princess naturally wouldn't bring her over before she was too young, but Princess Huihe didn't bring her children over today, and she could attend this year, but in the special situation today, Empress Chen's approach is undoubtedly the safest.

Gu Qingwan shook her head in embarrassment: "Dan'er, you know that the temperament of the Dao Niangniang is the most indispensable, wait until next year or when the Yuan Dynasty is in the upper yuan, and I will leave the most beautiful lamp to you later." ”

Lord Wanhua's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she also knew that Empress Chen's temperament was just trying to fight for it again. Now there is no other emotion except disappointment, just sitting in general.

Gu Qingwan and Lord Wanhua were talking small words, and Empress Chen had been whispering with Princess Jing for a while, and Princess Huihe was even more solemn.

In front of Empress Chen, Gu Qingwan never received three sentences, and she said everything that Empress Chen said, and she looked very clueless. In Queen Chen's opinion, Gu Qingwan is a straw bag beauty, and it was Zheng Rui who insisted on refusing to marry Gu Qingyan at the beginning, so Queen Chen had to take a step back and acquiesce to Gu Qingwan.

And although Princess Jing is loyal and timid, she is still a person who can discuss ideas, so she and Princess Huihe naturally gave up Gu Qingwan and only discussed with Princess Jing.

Since Empress Chen didn't avoid her when she spoke, it can be seen that she was going to tell her in person later, Gu Qingwan saw that Lord Wanhua was depressed, so she coaxed her wholeheartedly. Sure enough, Queen Chen and the three of them discussed for a while, and then explained a lot of things to Gu Qingwan, which was nothing more than asking Gu Qingwan to be more careful tonight.

After the first watch was knocked, the sky gradually darkened, Princess Huihe took Princess Jing and Gu Qingwan to Heqing Garden first, and Queen Chen explained that Haoyue stayed in Yongyan Palace to take care of Lord Wanhua, and then went to the main hall to listen to the grandmother who was in charge today.

Because Princess Jing attends the palace banquet every year, Princess Huihe is very familiar with the palace, and the three of them came on foot, introducing Gu Qingwan all the way.

Heqing Garden is built near the lake, surrounded by green bamboo, the scenery is deep, but it brings a bit of coolness to the mid-autumn that is still a little hot.

"This is Heqing Garden, after the double gate, it is the place where the banquet will be held tonight." Princess Huihe pointed to the opposite side of the lake as she spoke, "Across the lake is the Lama Garden, which is the place where civil and military officials hold banquets. Although it smells of silk and bamboo on both sides of Qingyuan and Yonghe Garden, if you don't use a boat, you have to walk around the eight courtyards of all sizes, and you have to walk for an hour. ”

Xu is Zhilu said that Gu Qingwan was not familiar with the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, so Princess Huihe said a few words rarely: "The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet over the years has been in these two gardens, and the people in Yonghe Garden have come over by water. ”
