The dust has settled on the affairs of the five princes, and the time has suddenly entered July, and the weather is hot and dry.

The queen is sick again, Jiang Ruyin takes over the big and small affairs, and in the summer, there are not many things in the palace, but they are a little more cumbersome, so big that the queen mother's meals should be paid attention to, and as small as which palace is bullied, even the ice basin has been detained and passed to her ears.

The identity of the concubine, in a sense, means that the queen can't do it, and she comes.

Yuqiong Palace, that is the most lively place in this summer palace.

Jin Feng got another son out of thin air, although this is a hot potato, but for the women in the harem, having a child will be guaranteed in this life in the future.

What's more, the fifth prince is only three years old, and it is still easy to raise him.

Because of the arrival of the five princes, the Yuqiong Palace has added a lot of people, and they are all happy for Wang Shuhua, now they are all at this age, what do you want, not that after the emperor dies in the future, he can have a place to live.

The great contrast with this is that Jingren Palace and Pingyang Palace.

Pingyang Miyata Zhaorong spoke to the five princes without scruples, demoted his position and was punished, and was grounded, and learned that the five princes could not meet or recognize each other before they were eight years old, and they were already sick, so they lay back again.

In Jingren Palace, the crown princess has been serving her illness for half a month, and the fourth princess has moved back to Jingren Palace, and the relationship with the queen has not eased.

The whereabouts of the five princes did not have the magic of the four princesses at that time, and they will definitely not make such a fuss today, the queen is angry with the four princesses, and the four princesses still blame her, so the relationship between the mother and daughter is still cold and indifferent in August...

Soon in autumn, Jiang Ruyin began to worry.

The queen is still sick, and this year's autumn banquet will not be held.

This year, the annual banquet was hosted by the queen herself in the past, and several of them assisted from the side, that is, she was unwell in the first two years, and the queen also supported herself, this year, it was already early September, and it was only a month before the autumn banquet, and there was no movement in Jingren Palace, Jiang Ruyin muttered in her heart, should this be handed over to her.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the Queen Mother sent a message that the matter of this year's autumn banquet was handed over to her, and in the evening, the queen also sent someone over and sent her a copy of what she wanted to prepare in the autumn banquet in previous years.

The queen threw this matter directly to her, although according to previous years, there will be no mistakes with the rules, but it is not her manpower, and it is somewhat unpleasant to use, Su Qianyang came over at night, and listened to her talk about the autumn banquet, and said directly, "The queen is not a director now, and her people are afraid that you are not used to it, tomorrow Chen Feng will bring ten grandmothers to send you envoys, you just see who you want to stay." ”

Jiang Ruyin was a little surprised, the emperor also arranged the affairs of the inner palace, "The concubine thanked the emperor first." ”

Su Qianyang was not satisfied with her reaction, thinking of what Prince Ping had said at the beginning, he was too busy to say a lot of things in the past few months, but now that he is free, his mind has also turned.

"After the autumn banquet, you will go south with me, and it will not be far, and it will take more than a month to come and go."

"Your Majesty, is this going on a southern tour?" Jiang Ruyin was stunned, more than a month, and it would be almost December when she came back.

Su Qianyang shook his head, "Private patrol, the trade route negotiated by Prince Ping, one is from the Southern Barbarian Territory to Beitu bypassed, and the other is from the coast, the checkpoints in Beitu are well set up, this side is more complicated, Prince Ping has been taking Princess Ping south for more than four months now, next month I set off from Lin'an City, all the way over, and happened to meet them on the way back." ”

"But in this palace." Now that the queen is sick, if she hasn't gotten better after the autumn banquet, she can't just throw away so many things and follow the emperor on patrol.

"There is no major event in the palace after the autumn banquet, just hand it over to Concubine De and Concubine Shu, and if the queen has not recovered after coming back, she will be busy with the New Year." Su Qianyang said that he had a very good plan, after the autumn banquet, there was a lot of time to spare until December Laba, it was just a trivial matter, and Concubine De and Concubine Shu had not taken care of it.

Jiang Ruyin looked at him thoughtfully, "Who is the emperor going to take over this time." ”

Su Qianyang picked up the book on the table and opened it calmly, "Just take you there, the officials of the DPRK and China will follow some, not too much, and walk in two batches along the road, so that I can see what I want to see." ”

Jiang Ruyin always felt that something was wrong, but what he said was right, a group of people left, and the local officials along the road must have cheated a lot, who doesn't want to look good.

Su Qianyang didn't give her time to think about it, talking about the autumn banquet, the autumn banquet arrangement in the front hall also had to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites, all of them were gathered by some civil and military officials and the emperor, Su Qianyang brought her this manual, it was the official who was invited to come this year, "The imperial dining room needs you to think a little hard." ”

This autumn banquet is nothing more than two things, the food in the banquet and the program in the banquet.

Last year, the queen came to a five-grain banquet, which means that there are few people who move chopsticks, and this year it must not be like this.

The two of them sat there discussing, and soon it was late at night...

The next afternoon, Chen Feng brought these ten palace grandmothers over, all of them were young, the eldest was older than Xu Mama, but they all looked very capable.

After asking, it was only less than three years in the various departments and bureaus, and Jiang Ruyin knew that the ten palace mothers in front of her all came out of the Empress Dowager's longevity palace.

After the death of the Empress Dowager, some of the palace ladies in the Yanshou Palace were all assigned to various bureaus, but now the palace is the queen's main palace, although these grandmothers have no one to treat them badly, they will not let them do any important errands.

This time Jiang Ruyin was going to host an autumn banquet, and the emperor transferred all of them to her, looking at the meaning of Chen Feng's words, the emperor didn't seem to plan to let these people go back, so he put them here for her to send them.

Jiang Ruyin left all ten people behind.

It's not that Zhaoyang Palace can't afford to support these people, it's easy to use or not, and you'll see when this matter passes...

Jiang Ruyin's side quickly got busy, the most important menu was taken care of by herself, and the rest was done by the grandmothers in charge before coming to her to report.

From the porcelain used to hold the dishes to the decoration of the banquet venue, she also held several banquets before she got married, and these things did not bother her.

Mother Xu took someone to bring the list sent to the post to her for a look, Jiang Ruyin looked at it, according to last year's list, the marriage of this marry, there is still someone to add to it, confirm that it is correct, and arrange seats according to this list.

"Niangniang, the grandmother of the garment bureau is out asking to see you." Jiang Ruyin ordered to bring it in, and the grandmother of the garment bureau was followed by two little palace maids, holding the pre-determined clothes in their hands, and the palace maids picked them up and showed her, Jiang Ruyin asked one of the palace maids to change out, looked back and forth, nodded, and said to the mama of the garment bureau, "The skirt is a little more closed, here, the belt is hooked, and the color is slightly darker, highlighting this pattern." ”

Jiang Ruyin just wants to highlight the word 'Ya', this front hall hundred officials, Su Rili doesn't like to hang this on his lips, a little ink likes to say these two sentences, the void is a little empty, but they like...

After being so busy until the beginning of October, it was only two days before the autumn banquet, and all the preparations were in place, Jiang Ruyin didn't want to make any mistakes in this kind of situation, so she went to the Imperial Garden to check it out in person.

She should prepare for the front hall, and the rest will be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and she has to bear whatever happens in the harem.

The night before the banquet, it was already dark, and Zixia hurried in, saying that he had grabbed someone in the imperial garden, and had cut several ropes with a knife to hang the lantern.

Jiang Ruyin went to take a look, the palace mother was tied up with five flowers, and there was a blunt knife and a few cut ropes next to her, the knife edge was cut very loosely, Jiang Ruyin asked them to lift the rope they took off together with the lantern, put it on and hold it, and with a slight pull of the hand, with a snap, the rope broke from the knife edge.

The candle hasn't been lit yet, and if it falls during the banquet tomorrow, I don't know what kind of chaos it will cause.

Jiang Ruyin looked at this palace grandmother, her face was raw, "Which palace are you from?" ”

That palace mother was directly frightened and her face was pale, she sneaked into the secret she thought she was doing, who knew that there were still so many people guarding this imperial garden in the middle of the night, seeing Jiang Ruyin asking her, she couldn't say anything.

"Ask me so, who sent you?" Jiang Ruyin sat down and looked at the palace grandmother, the imperial garden at night was extremely quiet, only a few lanterns hung at the arch.

was directly arrested, and there was no excuse, the palace mother's eyes flashed, but she didn't speak.

Qingqiu came over and whispered a few words in Jiang Ruyin's ear, Jiang Ruyin looked at the palace mother twice, and said bluntly, "It's okay if you don't say it, this palace will send you directly to the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department has many ways to interrogate prisoners, you must have heard of it after staying in the palace for many years." ”

What Qingqiu heard was that this palace mother was not in any palace, but an ordinary palace mother in the Huanyi Bureau, in charge of five or six little palace maids, in this palace, the people in the Huanyi Bureau were the most inconspicuous, and it was normal to stay in the Huanyi Bureau all day long to wash clothes, and it was normal to not have a face.

It's really strange that a grandmother from the Huanyi Bureau came to cut the rope in the imperial garden.

Jiang Ruyin saw the fear in her eyes, and her voice suddenly turned cold, "This palace asks you for the last time, who is the errand for you to come, and if you don't say anything, I will directly hand you over to the Criminal Department for trial." "She won't use any lynching in the palace, she was caught in front of her, do you still need to find evidence?

"Niangniang spares her life, the slave and maid really don't know who it is, the slave and maid took the money and said that the rope here should be cut off quickly." That palace mother was finally scared and begged Jiang Ruyin for mercy.

"Who gave you the silver?"

"The slave maid only knows that she is the palace maid who often sends clothes to the Huanyi Bureau, and the slave maid of the specific palace does not know."

"Does she often go to the Huanyi Bureau to deliver clothes?"

"Yes, it will be delivered every morning." The palace mother was very fast, and lynching could not be used in the palace, so she was silent just now and felt that it would not be good for the concubine to find out something, but she could be sent directly to the Ministry of Punishment, where the living only have half a life when they go in and out.

"Zixia, take her back to the Huanyi Bureau, and when you see the palace maid who sent the clothes, ask which palace it is." Jiang Ruyin ordered to bring the people back to the Huanyi Bureau, and the rest of the people continued to guard here.

Returning to Zhaoyang Palace, Jiang Ruyin didn't sleep all night.

In the past, she didn't take care of such a big thing, and she didn't have a chance to make people stumble, but this time she hosted the autumn banquet for the first time, some people couldn't wait to see her make a fool of herself...

Two hours later, the sky was slightly bright, Zixia came back, and the palace lady recognized the palace maid who sent the clothes to the Huanyi Bureau as a person from Xingchang Palace.
