Da Nei West next city, located in the center of Jiuzhou Chi River Continent Yaoguang Palace, since the morning, there are frequent palace people in and out to clean and decorate.

It is close to midsummer, it is the most beautiful and magnificent season of Jiuzhou Pond, the vast Jiuzhou Pond is rippling with blue waves, like a huge piece of jade, there are floating algae and swimming fish under the water waves, they are entangled and teasing each other, the lotus leaves on the water surface are spread out, the flowers are in full bloom, the green is fresh, the powder is delicate.

The pondside fence weeping willows, flowers and trees in clusters, rippling with the reflection in the water, teasing the breeze. On the river island, the carved beams and painted buildings, the palace pavilion is gorgeous, the brocade weaving step tent, the colorful Luo yarn. On both sides of the bluestone-paved palace road, the beautiful maids in palace costumes flutter butterflies and bees, and the industrious eunuchs prune flowers and trees.

In the afternoon, young men and women with graceful and leisurely postures and colorful dresses and colorful skirts are guided by the palace people, or take a boat or through the trestle bridge to the riverbank. These are the royal families of the sects who were admitted to the palace yesterday, and they came one after another to wait for the arrival after being informed that His Majesty the Holy Emperor would give a banquet in the Yaoguang Palace.

After entering the palace, the two families of the acting king and the king of Siyong were arranged in the former residence of Renzhiyuan in the next city, and they were also ready to go out to the palace to welcome them.

When the contemporary princess Zheng and Princess Dugu came to the hall to invite them, Concubine Fang's expression was a little unnatural, and she just waved her hand and said: "I feel nostalgic for the old scene, I can't sleep at night, I am inevitably tired, I won't go to today's banquet, and you two brides will report to Your Majesty on my behalf." ”

Hearing what Concubine Fang said, the two brides hurriedly said that they wanted to stay with Concubine Fang, but Concubine Fang refused, and only said that His Majesty would set up a banquet, but it was disrespectful and asked them to go as soon as possible.

Others may not know, but the palace official Xu Shi, who was assigned to serve the family, knew that in the eyes of others, the scenery of Yaoguang Hall might be beautiful, but for Concubine Fang, there was a most difficult memory hidden there.

The Xu family used to be the caretaker when Concubine Fang was imprisoned in the Yaoguang Palace, and only after the two princesses and the palace people withdrew, did they enter the front and said cautiously: "When I was in the idle garden, the concubine worked hard to raise her children. Now that several kings are in a prominent position, the county lord also has a good fate to be hired, and the concubine's life is long, and I and other old people are sincerely happy and proud every time they hear the news in the forbidden. ”

When Concubine Fang heard this, her face also improved, and she motioned for Xu to come in and chat about the story. Looking back on the past, she naturally did not have a good impression of the Xu family, but now she is in a calm situation, her mood has become open-minded, and she has no thoughts of chasing the past.

Xu accompanied Concubine Fang here for a while, and then went to the Forbidden Middle School Sleeping Bureau to get some bed mats. When I came to the Shang Dormitory Bureau, I saw that many palace people had gathered in front of the door, and they all looked at the door of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Xu Shi hurriedly pulled over an acquaintance from the palace and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"A foreign official entered the palace to take the palace people, and I heard that Zhou Si in the courtyard was involved in the case of foreign courts."

The palace man approached the Xu family and replied in a low voice.

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the courtyard, and a woman with a messy dress and loose hair was extracted by several noblemen, who was the female official Zhou Sishe mentioned by the palace people.

That Zhou Si Shi struggled and wailed, but in vain, a warrior stepped forward and swung his staff and slammed it on the back of his neck, that Zhou Si She's mouth spat blood, and his body suddenly straightened, even if he was silent, I don't know if he fainted, or he had died of exhaustion.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding onlookers were already full of sympathy in their eyes, but they didn't dare to speak out, but they just retreated, and the Xu family was no exception.

Seeing this, he stepped forward, pointed at the soldier who did it, and said sharply: "Zhou Si set up or be involved in a criminal case, but there is freedom to inquire and judge, if you wait for the criminal pawn to dare to lynch and add it, I will play His Majesty the Holy Emperor!" ”

Seeing this, a green-robed official stepped forward to scold the soldiers a few words, but everyone could see that it was perfunctory, and then a few people picked up Zhou Sishe, who was still unconscious, and walked out along the palace road.

When a few people walked near Xu's, Xu saw the grim smile on the face of the green-robed official, and vaguely heard his whisper: "The slut still dares to speak loudly, next time I will arrest you......"

The group left quickly, but the palace people gathered here did not disperse, and the Xu family also joined in the whispering discussion, only to learn that the case involved in Zhou Si was actually the rebellion of the emperor's heir who had been in the eyes of the emperor recently.

Knowing these information, Xu's heart was also terrified, he couldn't imagine that this fire would spread to the palace so quickly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that although she had served in the palace for many years, she had nothing to do with the imperial heir's family. And His Royal Highness the Acting King, where she lives, is now on the throne, so she is not too worried about being implicated.

However, the other people present were not as optimistic and calm as Xu's, the imperial heir's family lived in the forbidden place all the year round, if there was really any contradiction, then they would definitely have to search in the forbidden place for verification.

Although the Ouchi Imperial Palace is large, but in the final analysis, it is just a larger pond, and under the wild stirring, the fish and shrimp are scared away, who can guarantee that it will not be affected at all?

Not to mention that the palace people were frightened by this disturbance, it was almost evening, the kings of the foreign dynasty gathered around His Majesty the Holy Emperor to arrive at Jiuzhou Pond, and the music inside and outside the Yaoguang Hall was loud, and the atmosphere was more lively and festive.

Wu Zetian seemed to be in a good mood, at least on the surface, after entering the hall, he signaled each family to sit down, and said with emotion: "The love of the heavenly family is just like the people's family." It's just that they are in charge of affairs and live separately, but they don't have much leisure to get together. The kings have their own talents, and you must know how to visit harmoniously and diligently, and don't alienate people. This time, the various families convened the ban, and it is precisely this kind of affection that exists. ”

After hearing this, the ladies in the banquet got up and bowed their skirts, and they should be respectful.

Wu Zetian looked around the hall for a week, then raised his hand to refer to the princess Zheng, and said: "The women in the door, although their own women are diligent and diligent, I don't know much, only a few deeds of the princess are deeply in line with my intentions. Today, when all the families are in the hall, carefully recognize the wives of each family, and when the husband is diligent in foreign affairs, you should not show your wisdom and self-cherishment, and live in the depths. Even if the bride is weak and can't, she can sue her grandmother. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the kings and ladies in the hall were a little unnatural, and in the words of the Holy Emperor, it seemed that the bride of this party was regarded as the housekeeper of each family in the sect, which naturally made people unhappy.

Li Tong was happy in the banquet, motioned for his wife to sit on the side of the Holy Emperor, and got up and said: "The patriarchs are in front of each other, it is not appropriate to boast about family affairs. But the reason why the door is so beautiful is that Jun En asked. The princess is famous, dignified and gentle, since the entry, the internal and external harmony, the family affairs are well organized, so that the ministers have no worries, can be more calm. Qin Se is harmonious, family affairs are beautiful, the ministers and their husbands are grateful for the grace of the king, and they dare not cherish themselves, but they have the instructions of the relatives, of course, they also hope that the courts of the clan can be calm and harmonious, and all the relatives and family affairs are asked, and they will never dare to resign. ”

When the princess Zheng heard this, a little shame appeared on her pretty face, and she first saluted the Holy Emperor, and then said: "The concubine is clumsy and young in the boudoir, and she has been blessed to serve the heavenly family, and she does not dare to boast about women's skills." Those who can speak are respectful, diligent, gracious and cautious. The heavenly family is rich and noble, there is no health trouble, honor and disgrace, quiet and self-nourishing, not wasted, and does not live up to the value of the husband's life and talent. ”

Hearing the couple singing and harmonizing, Wu Zetian's eyebrows and eyes stretched even more, motioned for the young couple to take a seat, and then looked at her nephews and daughters-in-law and said: "It's just such a simple truth, many people spend half their lives in vain, but they can't figure it out. A few days ago, Princess Liang was severely punished, not because of her sexuality, but because she hated this clumsy woman's lack of virtue!

The heavenly family has its own wealth and power, and how many points can it borrow from the people's women? In addition to recuperation, you should think deeply about whether you are worthy of this body? Misappropriation is not far off! Heaven has affection and authority, and the women in the door are not only bathed in kindness, but also under the authority! How can you stay on top? It is in what the princess said, only respectful and diligent! ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Liang Wang Wu again: "So, why did King Liang know how to deal with the previous affairs like this?" ”

Wu Sansi was still immersed in the joy of worshipping the prime minister, but after hearing this, his body suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly avoided the table, bowed to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The minister is ashamed, he has been married for a long time, but his family affairs are hasty and there is nothing to boast about. The clumsy woman is exposed to the outside, which makes people mistakenly think that the heavenly family is not careful, and she should be convicted! The lowly maid in the door died without longevity, thinking that it was a cheap life, and it was difficult to inherit the weight of the grace of the heavenly family, which was not enough. ”

Li Tong sighed secretly in his heart when he heard that Wu Sansi and his daughter were dead, but he was relieved for Pei Guangting, this little green hat was completely thrown off. But he suddenly felt that the corners of his robe moved, and when he looked down, it was the little lady Tang Lingshu who was raising her hand to pull secretly.

"His Royal Highness has not yet arrived, and a few sons of King Liang's family are still haggard in private, ready to ask Your Majesty for forgiveness."

Tang Lingshu sat still, and said quickly in a low voice.

When Li Tong heard this, his heart couldn't help but feel a pang, and then he looked at Wu Sansi, who was respectful and kneeling in the hall, and another feeling came to his heart. Since Wu Sansi said so, then even if his daughter is not dead now, there is a high probability that she will not survive this night. Even if you are ruthless, you should also be the prime minister.

In the banquet of King Liang's house, several young boys and girls in the side room heard this, and their faces also changed, and some of their elderly vigilantes secretly patted their family members, bowing their heads to hide the surprise on their faces.

Wu Zetian was also stunned for a moment in the banquet, and only said after a while: "Although that woman is arrogant and bad, she finally enjoys a fate from a heavenly family, and she is buried in her hometown." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Sansi hurriedly bowed again, there was not much Qi on his face, but there was an obvious feeling of relief.

Loyalty is not only a form of sycophancy, but also a form of self-destructive allegiance, which gains the trust of the king by hurting oneself or hurting one's relatives. From this point of view, Wu Sansi has a deep aftertaste of ancient Yiya.
