Chapter 011: The Royal Birthday Banquet (Part II)

After a show, the next song and dance were leveled, the queen mother was old after all, and soon she was a little tired, supporting her forehead with her hands, leaning on the chair and closing her eyes to recuperate.

"Queen Mother, do you want to go back and rest first?" The emperor looked at the tired queen mother and said softly.

"No need, the mourning family's birthday gift, the mourning family can naturally hold on, the emperor doesn't have to worry about the mourning family, when the banquet is over, the mourning family will go back to Shouhua Palace to rest" The queen mother squinted at the emperor.

As soon as the words fell, a shrill voice sounded again, "King Qi has arrived"

What caught everyone's eyes was a young man in a black robe embroidered with gold threads, but his eyebrows were picturesque against the background of ink black, his lips were like cherries, his complexion was like snow, his delicate facial features, a few strands of long hair on his forehead moved with the wind when he walked, his lilac eyes hid coldness and charm, the corners of his eyes were frivolous, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, which invisibly hooked people's souls.

"Minister Qi Lianmo sees the emperor, the queen mother, the queen mother" Qi Lianmo saluted to the person on the throne

"Get up, why is King Qi so late" The emperor asked unhurriedly, and his tone was not toned, as if he was dissatisfied with Qi Lianmo's tardiness.

"Back to the emperor, the minister knew that the queen mother was happy to pay tribute to the Buddha, and specially went to the Bodhi Temple to invite the Bodhi master for the queen mother before coming" Qi Lianmo replied respectfully.

Speaking of this Bodhi Master, he is very admired and respected by the world, he is like a god, and he has done a lot of good deeds, not to mention anything else, but he said that he had calculated a hexagram for the emperor ten years ago, and the hexagram showed that the Great Monarch Dynasty would usher in a flood in a few months, if it were not for Master Bodhi to remind him in advance, I was afraid that the Great Monarch Dynasty would encounter a disaster.

"Oh? Where is Venerable Bodhi? Please come in:" The drowsy Queen Mother immediately became refreshed when she heard Master Bodhi.

It's no coincidence that every time the Queen Mother goes to the Bodhi Temple to ask for scriptures, she just catches up with the Master to travel.

After a short time, Master Bodhi walked into the main hall, and his robe was blown up by the wind, making it look more and more immortal.

"Amitabha" Master Bodhi first clasped his palms together and said to the three people in the upper position, and his voice was full of compassion and solemnity.

"The old man returned from his travels, and I heard that the donor went to the Bodhi Temple many times to discuss with the old man without success, and a few days ago I met King Qi, and wanted to invite the old man to congratulate the donor on his birthday, the old man had no excuse, I don't know what the donor wanted to ask the old man?"

"The master is polite, the mourning family just wants to ask for leave, and the master has some jerky and difficult to understand the scriptures," the queen mother said. "It's better for the master to go to the Buddha hall with the mourning family, so as to solve the confusion of the mourning family."

Venerable Bodhi thought for a while, looked around the main hall, the sound was noisy, and the smell of alcohol was permeated, which was indeed not suitable for talking about the scriptures and saying, "Then there is a labor almsgiver"

He stood in the hall, holding a string of sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand, fluttering as if he was nine heavens away, waiting for the palace maid to lead him forward.

Before walking out of the main hall, he glanced back at Luo Ziqi, as if he was puzzled and surprised.

Luo Ziqi wanted to rely on Master Bodhi's teachings, and probably saw that she was no longer "her". Lu Ziqi raised his head slightly at Master Bodhi, signaling as he thought.

Master Bodhi frowned slightly, then stretched out again, shook his head and followed the palace maid to the Buddha hall.

The protagonist of the birthday banquet has left.,The banquet ended quickly.,After the end of the emperor, the emperor and the ministers seem to have something important to discuss.,The female dependents are ordered by the emperor to be taken by the queen to enjoy the flowers and so on.。

Luo Ziqi thought that it was the same in her previous life, on the way to enjoy the flowers, she was taken to an unknown place by a little palace maid, and happened to meet the Seventh Prince, and now she thinks about it, she wants to see who put a trap on her.

Sure enough, on the way to the imperial garden with many ladies and ladies, Luo Ziqi was led by a little palace maid to a Liyuan Lake not far from Lihua Palace, and the little palace maid threatened Luo Ziqi: "Wait here for a while, don't run around, or I will throw you into the lake to feed the fish!" ”

"Knowing my sister, I must not run around" Luo Ziqi pretended to be afraid that he would stay here obediently and wait for her to come back. Sure enough, the little palace maid was relieved to leave when she saw Luo Ziqi's performance.

Luo Ziqi naturally knows the layout of the palace, Lihua Palace is the palace of Concubine Li, the biological mother of the seventh prince, and bringing her here must be Concubine Li's idea.

Luo Ziqi hid in a small slit behind the rockery, and she said that she wanted to see how the next scene would end.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard the rustling sound of stepping on the fallen leaves, and a pair of dark blue shoes embroidered with koi fish appeared in Luo Ziqi's sight, Luo Ziqi observed in silence, and saw that the owner of the shoes had been spinning in place for a long time, and his face was getting darker and darker.

"What about the people I asked you to bring?" The Seven Princes and Princes shouted at the palace maid in front of him.

"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, the slave maid doesn't know, I was still here just now, the slave maid took it here and retreated according to your instructions, the slave and maid really don't know..."

"Humph! A bunch of rubbish! The Seventh Prince kicked the begging palace maid to the ground to the ground, and angrily hit the rockery next to him.

Luo Ziqi didn't expect him to suddenly hit the rockery, so shocked that she accidentally took a step back, guessed the fallen leaves piled up behind, and made a "rustling" sound, which was not good.

"Who? Come out! "The Seven Princes didn't expect that someone would eavesdrop on him, and if it reached the emperor's ears, he should be reprimanded for not learning and not knowing.

Listening to the rustling sound in his ears, Luo Ziqi couldn't help but hold his breath and didn't dare to move again.

He was surrounded by the rockery, and he was about to walk in front of the gap where Luo Ziqi was hiding.

"Seventh brother, why are you here, just now my father ordered us to go to the imperial study to discuss with the minister, the third brother has been looking for you for a long time" A shout made Junlu stop and turned to the direction of the third prince Junmo.

"Yes, third brother, it's okay, the queen mother called the seventh brother to take the jade powder cui in her palace, since the father called us, then, the third brother, let's go tightly, don't let the father and the emperor wait" Junlu said and walked along the path, urging the third prince Junmo, for fear that he would be suspicious when he saw the palace maid behind.

"What the seventh brother said is, then let's go" The third prince Junmo kept up with Junlu's pace, and before leaving, he glanced back at Luo Ziqi in the gap, as if he was deliberately relieving her.

Luo Ziqi naturally saw that glance, but she couldn't figure out why the third prince helped her, and she didn't seem to have much intersection with him in her previous life.

Luo Ziqi watched them walk out of sight for a long time before coming out, although she was already familiar with this palace, but she couldn't walk back to the imperial garden directly, she decided to wait quietly for the person looking for her to take her back, which was a normal manifestation of getting lost.

Luo Ziqi looked at the Liyuan Lake in front of him, and gradually recalled his life in the cold palace, and finally had a dialogue with Liu Hua = Hua'er, facing the palace of the princess of this monarchy, and suddenly felt more and more disgusting...

"Miss Luo! Miss Luo! Luo Ziqi, who was in a trance, heard someone calling her, and saw that it was the little palace maid who brought her over.

"Miss Luo, where did you go? But let the slave and maid be easy to find, didn't you say don't run around? "Maybe she was blamed by the Seven Princes, and the little palace maid began to complain that Luo Ziqi was coming, and she might feel that she was just a child, so she didn't take it seriously, and forgot about etiquette and humility.

"How dare you stare at me? I really want to go down and feed the fish! The little palace maid looked at Luo Ziqi's expression, and said unwillingly, because Luo Zi had annoyed the Seventh Prince, and now a little kid still dares to show her face?

Speaking of this little palace maid, but the right-hand man next to Concubine Li, who dares to show her face in Lihua Palace except Concubine Li?

Immediately raised his hand, ready to give Luo Ziqi a little color to see.

"Stop! Daring! Whose palace maid is this? "The queen and her entourage happened to finish shopping in the imperial garden, preparing to go to the queen's Jiaofang Hall to eat some tea, waiting for the emperor to finish discussing things. On the way, I happened to pass by Concubine Li's Lihua Palace, so I saw such a scene,

Mrs. Luo was still in the ranks, and when she saw her daughter being treated like this, she was naturally displeased, but she also knew that she couldn't be presumptuous, so she just pulled Luo Ziqi over and waited for the queen to deal with it

"The queen mother asked you, which palace maid are you?" The grandmother beside the queen shouted.

"Sister, sister remembers this palace maid, it seems that she is from Sister Li's palace," Concubine Ying interjected.

"Concubine Li? Where is Sister Li? The queen looked at the group of ladies behind her, and swept it down at a glance, and it seemed that she didn't see the figure of Concubine Li.

"After returning to Huang, Sister Li is unwell and has just stayed in the side hall of Minghua Palace to rest," the grandmother beside her responded.

"That's good, such a palace maid who doesn't know how to respect and inferiority is really insulting to my palace atmosphere, this palace is the lord of the harem, so I will discipline Sister Li, and turn around and tell Sister Li" The queen mother naturally knew that the palace maid in front of her was the arm of Concubine Li, and she just took this opportunity to cut her, wouldn't it be better.

"Come to someone, the rod will be punished fifty, enter the Zongren Mansion, and you will not be allowed to release it without the order of the palace" The queen gave an order to her subordinates.

"Yes, Queen"

"Don't, don't, the slave just wants to make a joke with Miss Luo, Niangniang spares her life~ The slave won't dare next time~ Niangniang~" The little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground struggled desperately.

"Drag it off!" The queen said impatiently.

"Yes, Queen Mother" The guard stepped forward and knocked him unconscious and dragged away.

"The ugly thing in the palace, let the ladies see the joke, Mrs. Luo, this is not the right discipline in the palace, let Concubine Li personally apologize to Miss Luo, what does Mrs. Luo think?" The queen smiled at Yuanliu Jindao.

"Naturally, I will do what the queen said, but Xiaoqi seems to be frightened, and the concubine wants to go back to the house first, I don't know..."Yuan Liujin whispered to the queen.

"Naturally, in this case, come and send Mrs. Luo and Miss Luo out of the palace," the queen raised her voice.

"Thank you, Queen!" Yuanliu brocade salutes.

It wasn't until the mother and daughter of the Luo family walked out of sight that the queen said to the female relatives behind her, "It's a farce, don't take it to heart, sisters, go to Jiaofang Hall with the palace and wait for a while."

"Yes!"
