Song Yi was so shocked that he wasn't even interested in watching the most anticipated fireworks show.

Empress Dowager Pang looked at Song Yi's lost appearance, in fact, she was also a little unbearable.

But the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so Empress Dowager Pang cannot dictate the emperor's behavior.

Although Empress Dowager Pang didn't know why the emperor suddenly wanted to reward the dancing girl to the real palace, with her understanding of the emperor, the emperor must have a purpose in doing so. Therefore, Empress Dowager Pang chose to remain silent.

Because the emperor made a fuss just now, everyone was not interested in the next expression.

There are many people who have speculated about what the emperor's purpose was. Is it dissatisfied with the real princess? Or take the opportunity to knock the real king? But these days, I haven't heard anything about the real king that makes the emperor dissatisfied? Could it be that the problem is still with the real princess?

The women in the real king's mansion were crazy, especially the Wang family looked at Song Yi viciously, muttering in their hearts, "I want you to be in the limelight, now stealing chickens and rice is not a loss."

Song Yi had doubts in his heart and didn't want to stay where he was, but if he left, he would make people think that he was dissatisfied with the emperor. In fact, Song Yi was really dissatisfied with the emperor, but he also knew that even if he was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't let people see it.

The true king saw Song Yi's depression, so he asked, "What's wrong, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"Are you hiding something from me?" Song Yi felt that the emperor's sudden attack could only prove that he had another purpose. And for that purpose, Song Yi thought about it first, it should be for the true king.

"Don't think about it." The True King was reluctant to answer, his eyes dodging.

Song Yi saw that the true king was secretive, so he became even more suspicious. The true king must have something to hide from himself.

When Song Yi was in a daze, she always felt that there was a gaze in the crowd staring at her, and when she looked up, she couldn't find who it was.

Next, there are performances in all provinces, but with the real princess Mingzhu in front, the later programs are all new, not very amazing.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor also chose a few programs to reward, but everyone no longer put their minds on the programs.

I heard that there will be a grand fireworks display, which is a show that most people in the audience are looking forward to.

Song Yi is the same, to say that ancient fireworks are definitely not as skilled as modern fireworks technology, and there is no information control, and they are completely artificial. This is all figured out bit by bit by the old craftsmen. I heard that pyrotechnics all regard their pyrotechnic recipes as top secrets, and they are only passed down from father to son, not to outsiders.

So, although the technology is ancient, it has been slow to develop. But in ancient times, when there was a lack of cultural and entertainment activities, there were few eye-catching programs, and the fireworks were so gorgeous and charming. Therefore, up to the officials and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, they all like to see fireworks displays.

However, large-scale fireworks displays are expensive, and there are no dedicated pyrotechists in charge of the performances, so unless it is a major festival, even inside the palace, it is rare to see a grand fireworks display.

Empress Dowager Pang has a big birthday, and the fireworks show naturally has to be arranged, so it is understandable that everyone is so absent-minded.

Before the fireworks show begins, everyone comes out of the banquet and goes along the Imperial Garden to watch the fireworks display.

"The fireworks show will start soon, let's go," the True King began.

Song Yi looked at Chunxiang and looked at him, so he made an excuse, "Lord Wang, you go first." I want to rest for a while, and I'll come back to you later."

The woman's words made Zhu Xi a little puzzled, looked up at Song Yi, and saw that there was no uncomfortable look on the other party's face, but in order to be stable, he still asked, "Where is it uncomfortable?" ”

"I was a little tired from the performance just now. I want to stay here and rest for a while. You don't have to worry about me."

Zhu Xi was indeed a little tired when she saw the woman, and I was afraid that the emperor's words just now scared her.

"Then I'll accompany you," Zhu Xi said.

"No need, lord, just have Chunxiang with me."

Zhu Xi stared at Song Yi's eyes for a while, and then said, "Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?"

"Sure. You go over first, I'll come later," Song Yi insisted.

After King Zhen left, Song Yi summoned Chunxiang and asked, "Did you find the palace maid just now?" ”

"Princess, the slave went to look for it, but she didn't find it. Do you want to ask the prince for help? Chunxiang was confused, just now the princess suddenly asked her to find a palace maid, but when Chunxiang chased her out, the palace maid suddenly disappeared.

"No need. I know where to find her," Song Yi said, and immediately left the Jiaotai Hall and went elsewhere.

When Song Yi left, King Zhen walked out from the corner, waved his hand to the sky, and then said, "Follow the princess and protect her"

Then, everything was calm again.

Zhu Xi knew that women must have something to hide. That's why I pretended to leave and hid in the shadows to see if I went somewhere else. As he expected, it turned out to be as he expected. Zhu Xi looked at the back of the departing woman, not knowing what he was thinking.

Song Yi took Chunxiang with him, avoided the crowd, and walked on the stone road in the palace.

Soon, they came to a palace with lights in it, and it was obvious that someone was there.

"Haruka, you're waiting for me outside"

"Princess, the slave maid is not at ease, it is better to let the slave maid go in with you" Chunxiang was a little embarrassed and wanted to persuade her, but Song Yi told her to shut up.

Song Yi thought for a while and said, "No need, you take care of the wind for me at the door, if you hear me call you, you are hurrying in." If you feel that something is wrong, go to the true king."

With that, Song Yi entered the main hall.

There was a man in the hall with his back to Song Yi, Song Yi couldn't guess who the other party was, he only felt that the other party's back was very familiar.

"True Princess" As she spoke, the man turned around. Song Yi saw who the other party was?

It turned out that the mysterious person who asked Song Yi to come over was King Liang.

It turned out that at the banquet, a strange palace maid suddenly stuffed a note to Song Yi, which said, "I want to know the truth, Qianbo Palace"

Song Yi knew that the Qianbo Hall was a cold palace in the palace, and few people usually went there. Although I didn't know how King Liang appeared here, I was still vigilant.

"Is it me who King Liang has made an appointment?"

"Could it be that the real princess didn't know who she was going to meet, so she came to the appointment?" Liang Wang Zhao Hongpu said.

"What King Liang means, I don't understand" said Song Yi and was about to turn around and leave.

But behind him, the voice of King Liang came: "True princess, don't you want to know why the emperor wants to reward the dancing girl to the real king today?" ”

When Song Yi heard this, he turned around, stared at King Liang and asked, "King Liang knows?" ”

"Do you want to know, that's all there is to it?" King Liang said with a smile.

"What does King Liang want?" Song Yi felt that King Liang took the opportunity to threaten like this, not by a gentleman. Therefore, Song Yi's face is not easy to look at.

"Don't you just want to talk to me?" Seeing Song Yi like this, King Liang had an injured expression on his face.

"I'm married to the True King, is it appropriate to meet King Liang here?" Song Yi said unmoved.

"Huh. It turns out that the real princess is also such a worldly person."

"Is there anyone in this world who is not a worldly person? His Royal Highness King Liang, isn't it worldly? On such a big night, God mysteriously asked me to come over, and I came, but I didn't say anything? ”

"Hehe, don't use the agitation method" King Liang lost the expression that was injured just now, and Evil Juan said with a smile, "The Qian Dynasty fought with the Jurchens and Nuhachi, and the frontier was defeated one after another. Youzhou City is also in danger. The Emperor must find allies to fight together against Nuhachi"

Song Yi knew that King Liang would not be untargeted, and he must have a purpose in telling himself.

"The Qianchao has always been a big country in the Central Plains, with a large land and abundant resources, strong soldiers and horses, and the treasury has been empty due to continuous wars over the years. In the north, there are steppe Jurchen tribes eyeing each other, and in the west, the Siamese kingdom is growing stronger, and the emperor knows that the Qiantian Dynasty is lonely, and wants to unite with the king of Siam to fight against Nuhachi."

"But the king of Siam does not see rabbits and eagles, and he will not easily send troops to help the Qianchao"

"So what?"

"The King of Siam had a daughter, nineteen years old this year, who was a beautiful woman and a jewel of Siam, named Paula. Since she was a child, Princess Paula has been determined to marry a true hero. By chance, she met the object of her affection, and she wanted to marry each other. But the other party did not agree to marry Paula on the grounds that he was already married. The emperor is now very troubled, how to promote the marriage between the two countries"

"Is the man you are talking about the true king?"

"Exactly"

"Hehe, the emperor is really funny. If he wants to save his country, will he force his courtiers to marry a woman he doesn't want to marry? ”

"The king's ministers died, and the ministers had to die. Do you think the true king would not listen to the emperor? ”

"Didn't the True King listen now?"

"It's only temporary. If the emperor made up his mind that the true king would go to the Siamese princess, then the true king would have no chance to resist. ”

"I don't believe it, there's no other way" Song Yi was very angry.

"Unless the true king can solve the affairs of the Jurchen tribe before the Siamese princess enters Beijing, it will ......"
