Chapter 26: Book from Heaven

The faces of the people present, including Emperor Wu of Jin, changed, Jiang Linghe ignored them, and continued: "The daughter of this king is like a jewel, so naturally she is reluctant to marry. As soon as these words came out, the people who were excited were like being splashed with a bucket of cold water, which means that once they get married, no matter who they are, they have to cut off the connection with the family, let alone help, and everyone's attitude suddenly became cold. This Jiang Linghe knew at a glance that his vision was very high, and those who could enter his eyes must be the best among the people, if he was favored and the emperor also supported him, his family would immediately fold a powerful helper. Emperor Wu of Jin didn't have much emotional fluctuations, and the crown prince and Cheng Ningqian were worried for a while, for fear that he would be the one who was chosen, and looking at his father's reaction, it seemed that he would not object. The minister, who had a family member in the imperial garden, was also worried, afraid that his wife had pushed his son and nephew out.

Jiang Linghe stopped talking, raised his glass and drank with Emperor Wu of Jin, and Yuan Xi went to pass on the song and dance. Qin Sisi, as a musician, naturally followed by the side, Cheng Yuqian's eyes never left her, Emperor Wu of Jin didn't care, someone cared. Master Sima kept staring at Cheng Yuqian, but the latter's eyes were as if they were glued to Qin Sisi's body, and he couldn't move away.

Soon after, the Imperial Garden began to discuss the content and order of the talent show. After Jiang Xunxue repeatedly excused herself, everyone confirmed that she was not reluctant not to play, and all the beauties were ready. Every time a girl came up, the aunt in charge of the palace beside the queen would loudly introduce her name, family background and talent beside Jiang Xunxue, and Jiang Xunxue wanted to laugh when she heard it. This aunt in the palace seems to be afraid that Jiang Xunxue is not familiar with her life, so she specially introduced these young ladies to her, but who can't see that it is actually taking this opportunity to read their family history to the concubines, and if there is a fancy one, everyone will inquire more about it themselves.

Each concubine carefully observed, choosing the right person according to the situation of their children and nephews. Jiang Xunxue found that there was one person in this group who looked very strange. The rest of the people stretched their necks to watch, this person obviously wanted to take a good look, but he was very restrained, quietly watching, and from time to time secretly glanced at Hou Guifei, and finally Hou Guifei felt her gaze, and looked at her with a smile, so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, and grabbed the handkerchief with both hands. Jiang Xunxue suddenly became interested, she had never been able to sit still watching the performance, but the story between these women seemed to be more exciting.

Somehow, Jiang Xunxue remembered something. At that time, she stole into the secret room and read the Taigong Codex, but she never had the opportunity to read her grandfather's Codex, only remembered that her grandfather mentioned that he had a clear conscience in this life, and there were only two regrets, one was that she could not end the mission of Qinglong Villa, and the other was that she could not recognize people clearly and lure wolves into the room, and this second thing seemed to be related to the decline of her grandfather's family and the deterioration of the relationship between Qinglong Villa and the imperial court. She estimated the age of these people, and maybe she could find some clues about them more than twenty years ago. Jiang Weiti's Yunyin Pavilion just now, maybe there are more clues, and I have to find a chance to investigate.

There are not many families invited to the palace this time, but everyone strives to be perfect, so it took a lot of time to go down again. The queen and the concubine also praised everyone, and then gave rewards according to the results of the charades and couplets in the morning. The queen called the palace people and asked, although the banquet in front of her was over, Jiang Linghe was invited to point out the interpretation of some young people's martial arts and the art of war, so they couldn't disperse alone, and they were about to call the palace people to come to perform, when an uninvited guest broke into view.

The person who came was Du Jieyu Du Yingzi of Zhilan Pavilion, she ignored her image all the way, and Pear Blossom ran to the queen with rain and knelt down to beg the queen to be her master. The queen suddenly saw this scene, although her face was silent, her heart had turned several times, guessing the purpose of Du Jieyu's coming, she gave the palace people a look, the palace people came forward to lead the guests, everyone had eyes, and soon only the queen and the concubines were left in the overlook building, as well as Jiang Xunxue. Jiang Xunxue sat without a red face and a heartbeat, without the slightest intention of leaving, the queen was not good at driving people, so she had to go with her.

Du Yingzi tried her best to make her words coherent, but her choked voice from time to time made it very difficult for the people present to listen, but Jiang Xunxue understood faster than others. It turned out that the guards who chased Jiang Wei just now went to Zhilan Pavilion according to Qin Sisi's guidance, according to the rules, these guards were to make a report, but recently, Zhilan Pavilion has been snubbed, and the guards have no fear, claiming to have captured the assassin and broke in, regardless of Du Yingzi's obstruction, which is very rude. The queen was furious when she heard this, even if she was not favored, she was the master, these guards were so presumptuous, and no one came to report to her, the master of the harem.

An unfavored Empress Jieyu could have been left alone, but she was just looking for an opportunity to win over Du Yingzi, and the first action was to let Du Yingzi regain the emperor's attention, which was originally a very nerve-wracking thing, but she didn't want the opportunity to come so coincidentally. The queen just wanted to tell the aunt in charge of the palace to go to Yuan Xi to find out if the emperor knew about this matter, and if she didn't know, she would tell the emperor directly, when a little father-in-law trotted from the direction of the main hall. Jiang Xunxue felt funny in her heart, she didn't know what day it was today, one thing after another, looking at the appearance of this father-in-law, it must be some bad news.

Sure enough, after the little father-in-law knelt down behind Du Yingzi, he hurriedly said; "Tell the queen mother, after the banquet of the Seven Princes, I suddenly felt unwell, and I fainted, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it as if I was poisoned."

"What, Pei'er." Rong Meiren panicked, and without waiting for the little father-in-law to finish speaking, she stood up and was about to go to the main hall.

"Stop", the queen scolded, "You don't know who the people are in the front hall, how can you be a beauty who disregards the palace rules so much." ”

"But, mother, ......"

"Enough, now that you are a beauty, no longer a palace maid, why are you still so reckless." Suddenly there was another pear blossom with rain, the queen was inevitably bored, stabilized her mood, and continued to ask the little father-in-law, "Where is the seventh prince now?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor has ordered someone to send the Seven Princes back to Rong Meiren."

The queen nodded and dismissed the little father-in-law, and let Rong Meiren and Du Yingzi go back first. Rong Meiren left immediately after kneeling down with her relatives and sons, and Du Yingzi's grievances had not been stretched, and her face was full of reluctance.
