Chapter 10 On the King's Banquet A fire broke out in the side hall

This smell seems to come from the side hall, the two were instructed to guard the entrance of the side hall, at this moment there is something strange in the hall, they don't dare to slack off, and they hurriedly run in to see.

It didn't matter what I saw, I saw that the hall was full of fire, and the flames had come out of the cracks in the closed doors and windows, and the tongue of fire stirred and scorched black.

The two of them were so frightened that they all sat on the ground together, and they were stunned for a moment before they came back to their senses and shouted at the top of their voices.

"It's on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire. ”

Partial hall, partial hall, as the name suggests, the temple is remote, and when the two mothers-in-law called someone to put out the fire, the fire in the side hall has reached a situation that cannot be controlled.

The little servant in the Jin Palace's mansion heard the shouting and hurriedly ran from the front yard to the side hall, carrying buckets, wooden basins and other things in his hands.

Jin Rui was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard the rumor, as if he didn't believe it, but when he looked at the little guy running anxiously with a bucket in his hand, he had to believe it.

The jade plate was slightly sinking in his heart, and he was busy squeezing at the full hall of guests, and said in a voice as slow as possible: "Everyone, this king will go back when he goes." After saying that, he hurried away.

The guests in the hall were surprised when they heard that the side hall was on fire, how could the servants and slaves of the palace allow the fire to grow so uncontrollable?

I was skeptical about the way of governing the Jin Dynasty in my heart! But in my heart, I was slandered, and at this king's banquet, the palace was on fire for the first time in a hundred years!

But some people shook their heads and thought, the palace is on fire, this royal banquet... What bad luck!

Officials, who also had good deeds, heard that there was a fire, so they proposed: "Let's go and see it too, if we can help one or two, it will be a blessing." "But what I thought in my heart was that there was a lot of excitement to see!

"Well, let's go and see. ”

A group of people randomly echoed, and they rushed towards the side hall following the firelight above.

Peng Hao was shocked when he heard that the side hall was on fire, and thought that the backyard where his sister was located was very close to the side hall; Jin Xiuchen, who was sitting in the same place, looked at Peng Hao and said, "But you're worried about your sister?"

Peng Hao had anxiety between his eyebrows, nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Chen, I have to go to find my sister to rest assured, you..." ”

"It's boring to sit, this king is with you, and it's easy to find flattery. Saying that, he stood up and walked out, Peng Hao didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly followed.

And Peng Mo, who was worried by her brother, walked to the backyard without changing her face, and her casual posture did not show that she was the arsonist.

In the backyard, Peng Mo saw the eldest princess sitting at the head of the women of the official family, and instantly figured out the reason.

Although Jin Rui is nearly twenty years old, he has not yet married a wife, so there is no serious female protagonist in the palace, and it is also a good ceremony to invite the eldest princess to come to the town.

The eldest princess Jin Ke, the younger sister of the current emperor, after the emperor ascended the throne, he named her the eldest princess, now in her thirties, married to the Marquis of Yongyi, and now has a son and a daughter.

Since the eldest princess married into the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, she has lived a life of husband and children, and her husband's family comes first in everything, so even if she is no longer beautiful now, she is also very respected by the Yongyi Marquis.

She rarely gets involved in royal disputes, and in Peng Mo's opinion, she is a smart woman.

I'm afraid that it took a lot of words for Jin Rui to invite her to come this time, after all, all the princes have a circle of influence, if she presides over the banquet for Jin Rui, she will naturally be close to her!

And Jin Rui's biological mother, Concubine Shuniang, although she is one of the four concubines, does not have the right to go out of the palace to entertain the women of the official family for her son.

Peng Mo didn't drill into the pile, he had just run for a while, he was already very tired, and he didn't want to bother dealing with those women anymore, so he just found a pavilion near the lake and sat down;

Peng Mo glanced at her, smiled lightly, her eyes were slightly cold, in her previous life, Ruyu also liked this kind of occasion very much, she would always persuade herself to participate in various banquets for various reasons, although she didn't like it, but she couldn't stand the request of the sisters who wanted to play, and attended the banquet she didn't like again and again, so that Ruyu balanced the relationship between the young ladies, so that she was ridiculed for taking a maid as a sister, and she was willing to fall into the reputation!

Now that I think about it, I was really stupid in my previous life! It's just that in this life, without the recommendation of Peng Mo, the concubine of my general's mansion, you can still leave a place in the circle of nobles with your extraordinary tongue? I'll wait and see!

Ruyu looked at Peng Mo and was a little embarrassed to say what she thought, because Peng Mo came out with only one person, and when she left at this time, there was no one waiting for her, but...

Peng Mo lowered his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "You go to be lively, I'll be here myself." ”

Ruyu was overjoyed when she heard this, and Fuli said, "Miss, I'll go for a while." With that, he hurriedly left the pavilion and walked to the bustling center, hoping that one or two opportunities would fall on him.

The maid who led the way looked at Peng Mo's forehead with a little sweat, and secretly said that Ruyu only wanted to play, ignoring the master, and asked softly: "Miss Peng, the slave will go and serve you some herbal tea." ”

Peng Mo was also a little thirsty after walking for a while, looked at the maid and said softly, "Then thank you very much." ”

The maid was very pleased with Peng Mo's kindness, smiled, and left with a blessing.

Peng Mo looked at the place where the laughter kept going from afar, and his heart gradually drifted away, once upon a time he was one of them, but now his mood is no longer a person who appreciates flowers and recites poetry.

"What is Miss Peng Si thinking?"

A melodious and sweet voice sounded from behind.

Peng Mo turned around and saw the red dress standing quietly among the flowers, the flowers set off the people more delicate, but the beauty in the red dress looked gloomy at this time and didn't seem to be very happy, not who was Caimei!

"Girl. Peng Mo called softly.

Cai Mei walked into the pavilion, and sat opposite Peng Mo without waiting for Peng Mo to greet her, her soft face did not have a seductive smile, and a pair of dementor eyes looked at the place where the official women gathered in the distance, and there was a trace of coldness.

Peng Mo saw it in her heart, she must have suffered a dumb loss in front of those official women, so she was not happy!

Cai Flattering her boasted that she was the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness King Chen, and she was so beautiful and had a very high opinion of herself, but she couldn't fit into the circle of noble official women, so she was naturally resentful, but she didn't know that in this powerful and powerful Kyoto, it was not the honor but her own value;

"Why doesn't Miss Peng Si go there?" Cai Mei looked into the distance and chuckled.

Peng Mo looked at the place where Cai Mei's eyes could be seen, and the eldest princess didn't know what to say, which provoked all the women to echo it, and the scene was lively.

"I'm tired, so I'm here to rest for a while. Peng Mo straightened his wide sleeves and said lightly.

Cai Mei trembled, Peng Mo didn't want to go, but she didn't want to go! Yes, she was the concubine of the General's Mansion, so she was naturally more noble than the women of the official family who sat there, and she would look down on herself even more! She was still licking her face and being laughed at at the door! "Miss Peng Si's status is precious, and she can go anywhere, and she is not inferior to her status as a concubine. ”

Peng Mo listened to the strange voice of the yin and yang, smiled lightly, and looked at the two people who were walking towards the pavilion.

Cai Mei looked at Peng Mo's attitude, and immediately became annoyed, glared at her and asked, "What are you laughing at? Look down on this girl?" She is Jin Xiuchen's favorite woman, who doesn't flatter herself these days by Jin Xiuchen's side? But after coming to Kyoto, she ran into walls everywhere, and couldn't help but be annoyed, hum! Even though I am a concubine now, who can know the future... If he becomes Jin Xiuchen's side concubine, will these people dare to look down on him when the time comes?

Peng Mo's eyes turned, looking at Cai Mei, the corners of her mouth pursed a slight smile, neither alienated nor enthusiastic, and said lightly: "Cai Mei's beautiful color is beautiful, and she has won the heart of His Royal Highness King Chen, how dare I look down on it?"

Cai Mei was even more annoyed when she saw Peng Mo's indifferent and noble posture, only to feel that her words were full of sarcasm, slapped the table and stood up, and pointed at her angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I will let His Royal Highness King Chen kill you?"

Peng Mo got up with a faint smile, looking at Cai Mei's eyes without a little fluctuation, since she saw herself in the carriage, there was a little provocation in her eyes, Peng Mo could feel it, but because of Jin Xiuchen, she didn't have a seizure.

Of course, for such a person, Peng Mo is more unwilling to bother.

The two red plants stand opposite each other, one is soft and one is noble, one is superficial and one is elegant, one is annoyed and one is indifferent.

Peng Mo's eyes turned, looking at Jin Xiuchen who walked into the pavilion, met his long and narrow eyes, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness King Chen, the little girl has angered your concubine, and I ask King Chen to atone for her sins." ”
