"Sister, what are you talking about?"

Mu Changan gently shook her sister, and asked out loud about Rong Chen's whisper, which she hadn't heard clearly just now.

And Rong Chen was gently shaken by Mu Changan, and then she suddenly withdrew from the memories of the past, only to see her open her eyes, and barely straighten her complexion before saying, "It's just a whisper, and the palace has forgotten." ”

This is what I don't want to say more, the past is gone, so Mu Changan didn't plan to ask any more, so he said in a gentle voice according to her intentions.

"The wind is a little strong, Sister, let's go back."

Rong Chen gently patted her hand and motioned for Chang'an to help her up, "Let's go, it's time to go back to the palace." ”

After getting up and saying this, Rong Chen turned around and strode away, and the back of the departure was quite a rare sense of eagerness.

It's just that Chang'an, who was still in place, looked at Rong Chen's back at that time, and felt that her sister was a little more rickety than when she came.

When I looked at the past carefully, I found that she was still the eldest princess of the empire Rongchen who had always straightened her back, stood tall, and was unstoppable in the world.

As for what Fang just felt, I'm afraid it's an illusion...... Mu Changan thought so.

On the way back to the inner hall, the two sisters were silent all the way because they had their own concerns.

It wasn't until the two of them returned to the palace together that they saw Aunt He and Aunt Sui, who seemed to have been guarding the palace gate for a long time.

Rong Chen, who had been walking in front, did not stop, but said, "Come in and say." ”

"Yes!"

After Rong Chen went straight into the main hall and sat down on the main seat, he excused himself and said to the two people in the hall, "What's the matter, just say it." ”

Sui Xin took a half step back, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

At this moment, after all, it is in the palace, and it is the eldest princess who is asking, so it is only fitting that Aunt He will reply.

Aunt He obviously understood the meaning, so she replied directly.

"Back to the eldest princess, back to the county lord, before the pillar of incense in the Qianqing Palace, someone was sent to spread the word that the Fanghua banquet would be moved to the Wancheng Palace for a banquet, and men and women could not avoid the banquet, and the lords of each province and their families would have a table."

"Male and female?" Rong Chen quickly grasped the point that Aunt He wanted to convey to her.

"Yes, Gonggong Liu of the Qianqing Palace said that His Majesty means that the envoys of various countries will come to congratulate them at that time, and the envoys of all countries will have noble women from all countries accompanying them, and it will be inconvenient for men and women to have separate tables at the banquet."

"And because of this, the great harm between men and women among the countries is not too serious, and since it is the upper country, since it is an example for all the countries in the world, it should also accept the customs of all the ethnic groups in the world, and not be confined to the mere form."

"Your Majesty said that the country is rich and the people are strong, the ports are prosperous, and the people are civilized, which is also ideological and cultural enlightenment, so it can also show the honor of the country."

After Aunt He finished talking, Rong Chen didn't have any special reaction when he heard this, but just asked, "Has the Yingqu mission arrived?" ”

"The king is here, but the eldest sister is not with him."

The one who replied was Chang'an.

Rong Chen raised his eyebrows, "What does Hu Yankang mean by this?" ”

"The courtier's sister visited the hotel where the envoy now lives in Yingqu, and the king of Yingqu only brought the three princesses and the general with him on this trip."

When Mu Changan said this, the more he spoke, the slower he became, as if he was afraid that her sister would not understand.

"It's just that among the people who entourage King Win, there is also a young woman who serves as a maid, and it is reported that she is quite favored."

Sui Xin, who had been waiting cautiously in the back, heard this, but she forgot for a moment that she was afraid that this was in front of the eldest princess Rongchen, whom she feared the most.

She finally raised the corner of her eyes slightly without holding back, and looked in the direction of her county lord with her peripheral vision.

It's just that no one in the hall noticed her slight movements at this time.

Because Rong Chen rarely has a little similar thoughts to Sui Xin.

So Rong Chen, who heard this, didn't ask Mu Chang'an how he knew, but when he saw Chang'an say that he was quite favored, there was no change on his face, and Rong Chen couldn't help but sigh a little.

These words, in fact, she should not be said by a girl who has not been out of the cabinet.

But Rong Chen's way of raising Mu Chang'an since he was a child is very different from ordinary people.

To put it nicely, Rong Chen's teaching in this area of Chang'an has always been tolerant, and to put it bluntly, Rong Chen didn't know the importance of being rude and silent before, and he didn't care about it.

So now, when Chang'an is about to leave the cabinet, she has finally come back to her senses and knows that others will not regard her Chang'an as a child forever like her.

Therefore, she felt that sometimes some of what Chang'an said had to be paid attention to.

However, until now, Rong Chen herself doesn't know where to teach, and she is also at a loss for what to do.

Thinking of the eldest sister of the emperor who married at a young age, she couldn't see it this time, and Rong Chen suddenly felt a little bored.

"Hu Yankang, what a guts."

The voice of these words was extremely flat, and he didn't even raise the tone, but the words fell on the forbearance in the hall at this moment, and it weighed more than a thousand catties.

Rong Chen was actually extremely conflicted in her heart, this was the first time she had asked Yingqu to make it.

And she intentionally or unintentionally delayed until now to ask, just because she wanted to see the eldest sister she hadn't seen for many years, but she was afraid of seeing the eldest sister who cried and said to her "as you wish".

Over the years, Rong Chen dreamed back at midnight, and in the dead of night, he actually understood more and more the disappointment, despair, and hopelessness of the emperor's eldest sister.

It is becoming more and more clear how cruel and conceited she was back then.

Thinking of this, Rong Chen suddenly felt a little tired, and felt a little overwhelmed, and just wanted to cover his head and sleep a lot.

So seeing that the eldest princess Rongchen, whose face was really not good at the moment, slowly stood up and said.

"This palace is a little tired, Chang'an, the Fanghua banquet is approaching, Sister will leave all these things to you to decide, don't be lazy anymore."

"If you let this palace hear that you are doing your old tricks again and running away to be lazy, this palace will punish you this time."

After putting down the cruel words that threatened the little sister, Rong Chen turned around and strode towards the inner room, so Mu Changan didn't speak, but he only had time to make a family ceremony, and there was no trace of her sister in his eyes.

She thought about it, but didn't sit down any longer, but commanded in the direction of the two people in the hall.

"Aunt He, remember to send someone to inform the small kitchen, remember to make more hemp food and spicy food for dinner today."

In Luoshui Palace, because of the approval of the emperor earlier, a small kitchen was specially set up.

Later, after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he naturally would not stop his third sister from satisfying such simple needs as appetite at any time.

Therefore, Luoshui Palace has always had its own small kitchen, so it is not necessary to get food from the imperial dining room on time every day.

"Yes! The slave will go over to inform the small kitchen later, and then make your Highness your favorite hot and sour mandarin fish. ”

Aunt He knew that His Royal Highness the county lord was so ordered for the eldest princess, but she also knew that in fact, although the little county lord could also eat spicy food with the princess, she actually preferred to like sour and spicy tastes.

"Then I'll bother you, Aunt He."

Mu Changan has always had great respect for this Aunt He, who served the first queen since she was a child, then her sister, and then when she was young.

And Aunt He is never pampered and arrogant, let alone carried away, sure enough, Mu Changan immediately heard Aunt He's confession.

"The county lord is serious, and the slave is afraid."

Although she bowed and knelt down, from Mu Changan's perspective, it could be seen that she had a very serious look on her face at this time.

So Mu Changan didn't say more, and after calling her up, he turned around and ordered the right thing.

"Everything in the Fanghua banquet is in accordance with the meaning of the royal brother, if there is anything you don't understand, then you will go to the Ministry of Rites, it is really not good, you can also go to Kunning Palace to ask the queen to help you get an idea."

Although Sui Xin and Aunt He agreed together, they were particularly puzzled in their hearts.

Because since the queen of the middle palace entered the palace, her body has not been good all year round, and she has ignored the affairs of the harem for many years.

This is also a fact that all the officials of the clan know both inside and outside the government and the opposition.

But the county lord asked them to go to the queen mother to get an idea, and what surprised Sui Xin even more was that Aunt He beside her responded decisively without thinking about hearing this, and she naturally followed.

"In addition, the Wancheng Hall has always been the place of the banquet, the place is quite large, and the field is also empty, you have to take care of it with some heart, don't lose the etiquette of a country."

"When the time comes, the ladies of all countries will be present, and you have to remember that you must not commit any taboos and give birth to something unpleasant."

"Yes!" The two spoke up again.

After that, Chang An paused, as if thinking about what to hesitate, and after a long time, she opened her mouth to command.

"As soon as possible, you should send the seats of all parties attending the banquet to the Ministry of Rites for approval, so that they can see if there are any omissions, and then send them to the Qianqing Palace for His Majesty to personally review."

"Yes, the slave will do it when she goes out!"

Although Aunt He was puzzled, she also reflexively responded almost immediately.

In fact, in her heart, the seating arrangement at this kind of banquet does not need to work on the side of the Qianqing Palace, they only need to follow the past etiquette system and not make mistakes.

But at the same time, Aunt He knew more clearly that their little county lord had always been an idea, and he was also a person who was particularly afraid of trouble.

So since she has already said this, there must be something deep in it.

"In addition, Aunt Sui, you go to the palace for the palace to send another congratulatory gift to the hotel where King Ying lives."

"In the name of the Nine Chapters Palace."

Sui Xin habitually replied before he asked, "Your Highness, what kind of eyes should He Yi send to?" ”

It can't be to wash the dust for the people of Yingqu to enter Beijing, then isn't this just to offend the rest of the ethnic groups! Naturally, the county lord of her family would not do such a dishonorable thing.

Sure enough, the county lord of her family said softly, "Family ceremony." ”

Isn't it, the eldest princess and her relatives Yingqu, the county lord of her family is her younger sister, but she still has to call King Ying a brother-in-law!

After all, Aunt He on the side was old and had seen a lot, so she understood the deep meaning of their little county lord after just a little thought.

So Aunt He immediately took the initiative to say after responding with Xin.

"Then the slave will take Sui Xin to the treasury of Weiyang Palace to choose it later, and the treasures you have obtained over the years are stored in it."

When Chang'an heard this, he naturally agreed, "With your palms, it is naturally the best." ”

It was only after she had finished speaking that she paused for a moment before continuing.

"By the way, I have to trouble Aunt He, you will go to Kunning Palace tomorrow and invite the queen to attend the Fanghua banquet."

"As for the rest of the trivial matters, the two aunts will discuss it, and if it really can't be decided, they will enter the palace again."

"Let's all go down."

"Yes!"
