Chapter 24: Chaos

As for the anagram couplet, there are four treasures of the study room on the table to write the answer, and hand it over to the palace maid, and the best palace has its own reward for answering the most. ”

Everyone had no choice but to respond to the queen's words, and when they were a little disappointed, they heard the queen preach again; "The Imperial Dining Room is preparing lunch, and the palace people will go and bring you back for dinner; Aunt Zhanggong will go to prepare what you need now, take a nap after lunch, and come according to the proposal of the concubine's sister, do you have any opinions? ”

Except for Jiang Xunxue, no one here would have an opinion, so they all happily went to the garden to enjoy the flowers and guess the word puzzle pairs. The aunt of the palace went to ask about the things needed by the daughters who wanted to perform their talents, and they were ready to go one by one. The queen didn't seem to be interested in visiting the garden, and Concubine Hou didn't know what she had in mind, but she didn't want to sit with her, so she got up and went to the garden, and by the way, she saw if there was a suitable lady for Ning Qian. Jiang Xunxue also told the queen to withdraw, and the concubines got up and saluted when they saw this, and then went to the garden.

Although the ladies of the Hou Gate also wanted to come forward to talk after seeing Jiang Xunxue come out, they quickly dispelled their thoughts, because the concubines who came out after were led by Zhang Shurong and invited Jiang Xunxue to the pavilion on the carp pond in the imperial garden. Hou Guifei looked at it coldly, Jiang Xunxue would not give up no matter what, but the attitude of the queen and Sima Guiji made her heart beat a little drum, she took a look at the other girls for the time being, a prince, and it was understandable to take a few more. Although she and the queen are not on the same page, she has to admit that the queen can't find fault with the girls who are invited into the palace from the perspective of family background and appearance, it depends on the temperament. After a rough look, Concubine Hou was a little disappointed, there are a lot of these women who are suitable for the prince and the third prince, but there are almost none that can be placed next to Cheng Ningqian, the soft and weak appearance of the wind and snow, she can't look down on the people who were born in the door, and at this time she began to wonder if the queen did it on purpose.

"Niangniang, Concubine Hou is very attentive this time." The aunt of the palace said while changing the tea cup for the queen.

The queen took the teacup from the hand of the aunt in the palace, "Let her go, with the palace's understanding of her, it is really difficult to choose the one that suits her in this group of daughters." How can this palace allow Jiangmen with real power in his hands to marry other princes, these Miss Houmen can't get into her eyes, even if she is from Jiangmen, her family power is too small, and she can't look down on it. ”

"Just now, the prince sent a portrait of Miss Du, do you want to take a look?"

The queen took a sip of tea, shook her head and said; "No, looks don't matter."

"Yes."

"Then how is Du Jieyu now?"

"Back to Niangniang, since that incident, the emperor has been snubbing her, and Zhilan Pavilion is about to become a cold palace."

"Hou Suying and Zhang Shurong are now one, since Yi'er wants to win over the upstarts, and the palace also urgently needs a helper, let's give Du Jieyu a chance." The queen was drinking tea while thinking about how to make Du Jieyu get through the predicament in front of her.

On the carp pond, Zhang Shurong and the others are still surrounding Jiang Xunxue, Jiang Xunxue seems to be polite but actually very alienated attitude makes everyone a little embarrassed, although some people are smiling hotly, but their eyes have shown displeasure, but Zhang Shurong's emotions have been well controlled from beginning to end, and there is a degree of advance and retreat, Jiang Xunxue is more impressed by her, but she can't talk about how good the impression is, after all, none of these women are simple.

"Look at me, Miss Jiang should have met a few more daughters of the same age when she first arrived, but Miss Jiang was trapped with us instead. Well, let me introduce you to some of them. Zhang Shurong said and was about to stand up. Jiang Xunxue hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Xunxue is very happy to talk to all the mothers, but Xunxue is a little unaccustomed to the water and soil these days when Xunxue first entered the imperial city, and I want to take a rest first." When Zhang Shurong saw her say this, even if she knew that it was just a pretext, she couldn't force her to do anything, so she had to call the palace people to take her to rest.

Walking to a corridor, Jiang Xunxue sent away the palace people, trotted to the rockery with her skirt and climbed up, there was a slightly flat ground on it, and there were rocks on both sides, and after confirming that there was no one around, she collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. It's so tiring, Jiang Xunxue kept slandering in her heart. Before going to the palace, Jiang Linghe made a bet with her, as long as she could maintain her demeanor today and on the day of the birthday banquet, restrain her temperament, and most importantly, not cause trouble, then he would not restrict her freedom and movement too much in the future. For the sake of the sea and the sky in the future, Jiang Xunxue agreed without thinking about it, but she didn't expect that after a while, she couldn't hold on.

After lying down for a while, she suddenly heard some movement, and quickly got up to look around, because she was in a high place, she soon noticed two familiar figures flashing next to the flowers against the wall not far away. That woman seems to be Qin Sisi, who had a relationship with her in the music workshop that time, and the other one is interesting, obviously claiming to be a down-and-out scholar who wants to paint to make a living, and she will appear in the palace. Although she saw them, Jiang Xunxue must have heard the movement just now around her, and was about to go down to investigate, when she heard a team of guards running towards her. The leader-looking man was about to wave his hand to the guards to disperse the search, but was interrupted.

"Wait."

The guards turned around, and when they saw the people coming, they all bowed their heads and saluted, and the leader also hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Third prince, there are gangsters who have broken into Yunyin Pavilion and are coming this way, for your safety, please avoid it." ”

"Brother Guard, the slave family just saw a dark shadow heading there." Qin Sisi pointed to the right side of the rockery and said.

The leader's face changed, "It's not good, it's Zhilan Pavilion." Walk. Although they didn't know Qin Sisi, since she was with the Third Prince, they didn't doubt it.

Jiang Xunxue looked at the people below from the cracks in the stone, thinking: Interesting, Qian Yucheng, Cheng Yuqian. Just as she was thinking about whether to go down to say hello, Qin Sisi stomped her feet and ran away, Cheng Yuqian hesitated, drooped his head and slowly walked away. Jiang Xunxue snorted, got up and clapped her hands, and went down the rockery, according to the movement she heard just now, she found that there was a relatively hidden entrance under the rockery, and after entering, she found that it was a small low hole, and she could stand two or three people. Suddenly, she turned around, and just wanted to hit the person behind her with her elbow, but she was relieved of her strength, and the whole person was pressed against the stone wall.

"Don't move." A familiar voice came, and Jiang Xunxue was a little relieved.

"What are you doing here? That group of people just came to you? Jiang Xunxue asked.

Jiang Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I said I came to you, do you believe it?" ”
