He Ling knocked off her hand and said angrily: "If you have the ability, don't eat it later!"

Sure enough, as soon as the food came up, everyone began to feast, and they didn't care about quarreling anymore. He Ling said while eating: "It's really good to be a person, there are so many delicious foods, people are really good at enjoying it." ”

"You fox spirits are not bad, you are beautiful and can practice, much longer than human lifespan. Concubine An said with envy.

He Ling was very helpful to this, this was probably the first time she agreed with Concubine An this evening.

After everyone was full of wine and food, Zhiying proposed to go back, and Concubine An reluctantly said: "Wait a minute, let me take a good look at this street." "Looking at the street scene from the restaurant is a new experience. The whole street is surrounded by fire trees and silver flowers, it looks both brilliant and splendid, people come and go on the street, laughter and scolding, and the sound of selling is endless, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere.

He Ling over there was also unsatisfied, so he only heard her coquettish voice: "Why don't you go back first, and I'll play with Xinzhi for a while." ”

"No, you want to go together, why do you want to play and tell us to go back?" protested Concubine An.

"Just because you are a mother, the imperial concubine should have lived in the palace, Xinzhi and I are courtiers, it has been very hard to hide in the palace for so long without being discovered, and you can't play when you come out?"

Concubine An admitted that what she said was right, but she still felt uncomfortable, she pursed her lips and looked at Zhiying with help.

Zhiying thought for a while and said: "He Ling and Xinzhi don't have to go back to the palace tonight, tomorrow is the chrysanthemum banquet, He Ling has an invitation, she must come in from outside the palace, and then there will be ladies and ladies from various provinces, it is normal to meet and greet each other, otherwise what is the matter if she walks out of me directly?"

Listening to Zhiying's words, He Ling cheered, Concubine An was even more depressed, and she said helplessly: "Since this is the case, then hurry up." After speaking, he walked in the direction of the palace without looking back, and Nanming followed behind.

Zhiying looked at the backs of the two, and then turned back and told He Ling, "When you enter the palace tomorrow, just have fun with the ladies and misses, with your cultivation, the idlers can't find out your true body, just drink less wine." ”

He Lingjiao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not a fledgling, I know very well what to do and what not to do, in short, it won't be bad." ”

Zhiying nodded, in this regard, she still believed in He Ling.

The next day, there was a lot of traffic at the gate of the palace, and the ladies and ladies of various provinces were invited. Although it is still a short distance from Yukun Palace, it is forbidden to ride horses and drive in the palace, which can make it difficult for the nobles who are pampered on weekdays. Because it was the queen's banquet, they didn't dare to complain openly, so they could only accompany a smiling face and greet the people next to them.

In the crowd, the most eye-catching is a woman in red. I saw her move lightly, with a unique agility in her gestures. This kind of agility cannot be imitated, as if it is innate, unique to the small beasts in the mountains and forests. Her face is certainly beautiful, but it is too general to describe it as "beautiful". The flow of eye waves is breathtaking, and the red lips are charming when they are lightly opened, even if they are also women, as long as she is willing to say a few words to you with a delicate voice, you feel that this life is in vain.

The sharp-eyed lady recognized her as the woman Li Xin took with her at the Chongyang Banquet, so she took the initiative to talk: "This young lady, seeing that you are very angry, I don't know which house you are the daughter of?"

He Ling saw a woman in her forties, full of jewels, who should be a noble lady, and replied: "The little woman's surname is He." ”

"It turned out to be Miss Hefu, no wonder!" the woman suddenly realized, and then asked: "I don't know how many grades Miss He's father's official residence is, is it a Beijing official or an outward release?"

He Ling thought to himself where the long-tongued woman came from, asking questions and asking questions, and there was still no end, and he was about to stab her twice, but he heard a female voice say: "My county lord has invited Miss He." "It's the autumn dew that came. It turned out that Zhiying had been very uncomfortable since she knew that she was sent by the emperor to spy on her, and she wanted to take her away in a different way, not for anything else, just to be able to breathe a sigh of relief, after all, no one wants to live under the noses of others all the time.

When the woman heard that it was the county lord who had invited her, she didn't say much more, and He Ling and Qiu Lu walked in the other direction one after the other.

After about a pillar of incense, He Ling stopped and wondered, "This is not the way to hold Ying's residence. ”

Qiu Lu said unhurriedly: "Of course this is, could it be that Miss He has been here before?"

He Lingxin said that of course she had come, but in the face of Qiu Lu, she smiled and said, "I haven't been here, it's just by feeling." ”

"It seems that Miss He feels so bad, I thought why Miss could read minds. ”

"What are you talking about, you have no dignity, is this how your master taught you?" He Ling noticed the strangeness of Qiu Lu and secretly guarded himself.

"Miss He, I am also forced to do it, forgive me for being rude!" Saying that, Qiu Lu suddenly became embarrassed and attacked He Ling.

Zhiying sat there dignifiedly, his heart full of anxiety. It stands to reason that He Ling should have arrived a long time ago, but until the banquet began, she was nowhere to be seen, so something should have happened, right? He Ling has rich experience in the world and is profound, and ordinary people are her opponents, so with her wit, she should be fine.

Concubine An motioned to her with her eyes on the side, and not far away, Concubine Jing showed a smile of unknown meaning, and Zhiying only felt that something big was going to happen.

"This palace invites you to come today to enjoy the chrysanthemums, but just to enjoy the flowers, it is inevitably boring, so today, please don't be restrained, as long as it is a harmless game, this palace is approved. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ladies below were eager to try, and finally saw a girl in green who volunteered to get up and said: "Today is a chrysanthemum banquet, there should be a chrysanthemum poem to match, and the courtiers are not willing to chant a poem, throwing bricks and attracting jade." ”

"Okay, this palace is approved. The queen smiled. In fact, she loved to see young women in high spirits, which she had not had since she was a girl. Some people will be jealous of the brilliance of others, while others will appreciate the merits of others, and the empress is the latter, provided that they do not fight the emperor's idea.

I only heard the girl say: "Dark and faint purple, melting and smelting yellow." ”

"Good, good poetry!" the queen nodded.

The other people saw that the girl in green had won the praise of the queen, and they were immediately not to be outdone, and another girl chanted: "Seek a small meeting in the world, and try to put Jinzun on the chrysanthemum." ”

"Yes, this poem is not bad either. The queen still did not hesitate to compliment.

In the end, even Zhiying reluctantly chanted a song, but He Ling still had no trace, it was obvious that something had happened to He Ling!

"All of you have very good poems, it seems that all the ladies are goddaughters, and this palace is very pleased. Well, that's all the poem, who has anything else..."

"The queen is slow, I still have a poem here. As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over and saw Concubine Jing sitting there with a smile.

"Concubine Jing, don't be presumptuous!" the queen warned with a calm face. She hated the concubine of the former emperor, but she was helpless.

Seeing this, everyone wondered what kind of person she was, and dared to interrupt the words of the queen's mother, and saw that she was not young, could it be that she was an old person when she was in the palace? But even so, it is too ignorant of the depths, the queen mother is the master of the harem, what is she?

"The queen is not strange, I don't mean to make the mother angry, but this poem must be read. ”

"Oh, and there are poems that must be recited?" the queen laughed angrily, "this is the first time this has been heard in this palace. ”

Concubine Jing nodded, "Not really, and I didn't read this poem for the queen." ”

"Who is that?"

"For the sake of an old man, you call him 'Your Majesty', and I don't even want to remember his name. ”

"How could such a thing happen?"

"Who the hell is she?"

Everyone was in an uproar, not only did she not call herself a concubine in front of the queen, but she also dared to say that she didn't even want to remember the emperor's name, which was really bold!

The queen's face could no longer be described as difficult, and she forcibly said, "Concubine Jing, what do you want to do!"

"What are you doing? of course doing what I want to do. Her understated tone seemed to say that the weather was fine today.

"Well, you can read it, and this palace also wants to hear this amazing poem. The queen suddenly changed her mind, she wanted to see what she wanted to do, and if she said this in public, would she turn the sky upside down?

"When autumn comes, September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. Concubine Jing looked at the ladies and ladies present and asked, "How is this poem?"

The poem is indeed a good poem, but no one dares to applaud it at this time, because this is made by a thief in the previous dynasty, he led the rebels to the imperial city, if it were not for the founding emperor who was wise and martial, it is difficult to say whose world is now.

When the queen heard this poem, she said angrily: "Xia Yunping, you are so bold! Blatantly reciting the poem against the thief, do you want to rebel?"

"Yes, I just want to rebel. Concubine Jing said bluntly.

The queen didn't expect her to admit it, and she was at a loss for a while, and hesitated: "You..."

"Queen Mother, you heard me right, I just want to rebel. She said as she left her seat and walked to the front of the hall. The chrysanthemums in the hall are waving in the wind, blooming proudly, and she picks a white chrysanthemum that blooms the most vigorously, and holds it in her ears. At this time, everyone noticed that she was wearing a pale yellow brocade dress today, and it was chrysanthemums embroidered on it. Beauty is like a flower, and the concubine at this time is like a chrysanthemum that blooms to the extreme, standing proudly in the autumn wind.

When everyone saw this, they were both admiring and afraid. I respect her as a woman, but she can have the spirit of a big husband, and I am afraid that she will really do something rebellious.

At this time, the queen finally came to her senses and shouted, "Come on, come on!

"It's not in vain. Concubine Jing looked at the queen and said calmly: "They won't come." ”

"What do you mean?" said the queen in horror. She didn't believe that Concubine Jing could kill all the palace guards unless... It was they who took the initiative to defect.
