In late August, Shu Wan still has an important event to prepare, that is, the little bun Battle's weekly banquet, yes, Battle is already one year old.

Although Battle develops relatively quickly, this Zhou banquet is indispensable.

Although there is also a banquet word for the Zhou banquet, it does not actually hold a wine banquet, it is often just to invite the palace concubines to come for a small gathering, of course, if the queen mother or the emperor can come, it will be a great glory.

Many palace concubines are still willing to participate in the Zhou banquet, not for anything else, just to get in touch with the little brother's 'joy', and they can also conceive a dragon fetus as soon as possible.

The palace concubine must give gifts when she comes, of course, she generally does not give big gifts, but only gives some pastries and foods or toys that little brother loves to eat.

The ceremony of "catching the week" is generally held in the afternoon, and at noon, everyone, including the little brother, has to eat a meal of "longevity noodles".

On the day of Battle's arrest, Shu Wan got up early, first went to wake up Battle, and then dressed him in a red auspicious dress, and now Battle is like a fat red sour date.

Shu Wan couldn't help but take a sip on his face, and Battle smirked, writhing like a fat worm in Shu Wan's arms.

Because almost all the concubines in the palace are coming today, there will be many people at that time, and there will be mistakes if you are not careful, so she specially arranged Zhixing and Xiaodouzi beside Battle, and told them to keep an eye on the little elder brother every inch of the way.

Time slowly moved forward, and gradually the concubines in the secluded pavilion gathered more and more, and everyone couldn't help but let out bursts of surprise and admiration when they looked at Battle, who was already able to run.

Also, Battle is only one year old, he can already run, and he speaks very clearly, everyone can't help but guess in their hearts, will Battle be a "genius"?

People with children in the crowd are even more uneasy, Hui Concubine is one of them, I think that the eldest brother was too well protected since he was a child, and he only learned to walk when he was nearly five years old, and now Battle learned to run at a young age, which made her swallow this breath.

Anyway, some of the people present were envious, some were just simply surprised, and some were jealous of Chiguoguo, of course, these Shu Wan ignored them all, and warmly beckoned everyone to sit down and drink tea.

Soon it was time to arrest Zhou, and Kangxi also came at this time, and naturally pulled a wave of hatred for Shu Wan fiercely.

The Zhou Capture was held on a ten-meter-long large table, and dozens of things were placed on the table, of course, the things were uniformly customized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it was slightly different because the object of the Zhou was a little brother or a little princess.

Now there are seals, scriptures, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, toys, leather whips, small bows and arrows, knives, small daggers, wooden horses, and so on.

Kangxi personally picked up Battle and put it on the table, "Battle will take care of what you like?" ”

Battle nodded as if he didn't understand, and then walked slowly on the table, with a few old women following Battle carefully beside the table to prevent Battle from falling off the table by accident.

Shu Wan was also terrified watching from the sidelines, she was not afraid that Battle would fall, but that she was afraid that Battle would catch something strange.

Battle first glanced at the seal, shook his little head and walked away, and then saw the four treasures of the study, Shu Wan seemed to feel that Battle walked faster after seeing the four treasures of the study.

As for the abacus, Battle was even more uninterested, but the abacus was painted golden, and there seemed to be a fragrance on it, and Battle was curious, so he grabbed it and smelled it.

Everyone on the side was also concentrating on Battle, and when they saw Battle grab the abacus, the corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help but hook.

The child first grasps the abacus, it is said that he will grow up to be good at financial management in the future, and he will become a Tao Zhu career, but this is in the royal family, and it is equivalent to lying on the golden nest as soon as he is born, and this money thing is the most cheesy.

Shu Wan grinded her teeth, in order for Battle to catch Zhou without any accidents, she had already begun to guide Battle intentionally or unintentionally, no matter what, Battle would never grasp the abacus.

Who did it this time, she quietly swept over everyone present, and it seemed that everyone was suspicious.

Luckily, Battle only grabbed the abacus and sniffed it, and soon threw it to the ground, where it made a quiet sound and knocked off a corner.

Battle continued to walk forward, finally stopping at the end of the day.

I saw that as soon as he hugged his little arm, he hugged those swords, wooden horses and other things into his arms, and then ran to Kangxi with a stagger, and showed Kangxi what he had grabbed like Xuanbao.

Seeing this, Kangxi touched Battle's little head and laughed, "It seems that Battle is destined to become the Baturu of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the little brother!"

Everyone knelt down to congratulate Kangxi, and only one of them flashed hatred in his eyes.

After the Zhou banquet, everyone reluctantly dispersed, of course, they were reluctant not to be Shu Wan or Little Brother, but Kangxi.

Because Shu Wan's sign has not been hung up now, Kangxi can't blatantly pamper her, so he can only get tired of it for a while before leaving.

After sending Kangxi away, Shu Wan's face quickly turned cold, "Did you get that thing?" ”

"Got it, mother, please take a look."

Zhixing took a tray and lifted the handkerchief on it, revealing a golden corner inside, which was the abacus that Battle broke when he caught Zhou.

Picked it up and smelled it, Shu Wan finally discovered the mystery, the abacus used by the prince when he caught Zhou was made of sandalwood, and in order to show his dignity, he would brush a thick layer of gold dust on the outside.

I didn't expect someone to mix this gold powder with powdered sugar, children love to eat sugar, so they will naturally be attracted by the taste of sugar and grab the abacus.

Shu Wan's heart sank, it seems that the person behind the curtain just wanted to make Battle catch the abacus when he caught Zhou and become a laughing stock, but Battle has eaten something a hundred times better than the ordinary powdered sugar since he was a child, so naturally he will not be caught by this little trick.

But who will it be this time?

It is possible for Concubine Hui who raised the eldest brother, it is also possible for Concubine Yi who is pregnant, of course, it is also possible for Wu Yashi, who has always been restless, and it is also possible for Concubine Cheng, who has always regarded her as a great enemy, of course, the suspicion of others cannot be ruled out.

Shu Wan banged on the table for a while, and kept thinking in her heart that if this matter really came to pass, who would get the biggest benefit.

-------------------------------------

Even after catching Zhou, the Empress Dowager didn't put Shu Wan's sign up, Kangxi didn't come these days, Shu Wan suddenly felt that most of the time was free, but there was nothing fun in this palace, so in addition to painting and making pastries, she also found some other things to kill time.

For example, what she is doing now is a peach wood knife made for Battle and Furguo, the knife is only half the size of Battle's palm, and they all say that peach wood can ward off evil spirits, so she simply made a large string.

In addition, she didn't forget to practice the "Wood Spirit Technique", but no matter how she cultivated, she just stuck on the eighth level and couldn't go, it felt as if she was climbing a ladder, and suddenly someone kicked her down from above.

There is no way, maybe her cultivation is not enough, Shu Wan is not in a hurry, after all, with her current mana, there is no opponent in the world, so she is just practicing constantly, so that her foundation continues to become deeper, and she is more proficient in the use of various spells.

On this day, she was studying painting in the palace, and suddenly Zhixing came in and whispered a word in her ear, Shu Wan hooked the corner of her lips, and gently touched the last stroke on the painting.

"Let the little beans do it."

"Yes."

Soon, a few old eunuchs came to the Youyou Pavilion.

Seeing Shu Wan, she was also very respectful, "The jade concubine is auspicious." ”

"Get up," Shu Wan waved her hand casually, "I wonder what happened to a few fathers-in-law coming to this secluded pavilion in this palace?" ”

The old eunuch who led the way said: "Back to the Jade Concubine Niangniang, the minions just salvaged a few corpses when they were cleaning up the dry well, and some people recognized them as the minions of the Youyou Pavilion, so..."

Before the old eunuch finished speaking, Zhixing stepped forward and scolded: "Bold slave, you dare to preface such an unclean thing in front of the jade concubine!" ”

"Know, step back."

Shu Wan stopped Zhixing with a loud voice, and glanced at the old eunuch in front of him, "Xiaodouzi is the leader eunuch of Youyou Pavilion, and he knows everyone in Youyou Pavilion, so let Xiao Douzi go with you." ”

"Yes, Concubine Xie Yu is considerate."

Xiaodouzi hurriedly stepped forward and followed the old eunuchs to identify the corpse.

Although Shu Wan didn't go, when she heard Xiaodouzi talk about that scene, she still unconsciously felt a little sick to her stomach.

A total of five bodies were recovered from the dry well, three male and two female.

Because it was summer and the well water had been soaked these days, some of the corpses had been severely decomposed when they were salvaged, and some of them even had their heads off, not to mention the disgusting maggots and the smell of smoke, and I heard that many people at the scene vomited.

Because of Shu Wan's explanation, Xiaodouzi had already prepared and stuffed two fragrant beans into his nostrils first, so that he couldn't smell the unpleasant smell.

But even so, when Xiaodouzi came back, he was also stained with a lot of smell, and under the strong request of Zhixing and Zhiqiu, Xiaodouzi took five baths before he dared to come close to report to Shu Wan.

"Niangniang, the minions recognized those people as the minions who disappeared in our palace that night."

Shu Wan nodded, she guessed correctly, those people were the same few minions that she sent out to ask for the imperial doctor when she gave birth to Fuerguo, but they were killed halfway through and thrown into the dry well, "You have worked hard this time." ”

Xiaodouzi smiled, "Slaves are not hard. ”

"Aren't you scared when you see so many corpses?"

Xiaodouzi touched her head in embarrassment, "Tell me the truth, I think when the slaves fled, they saw people eating people on the road, and that scene was terrifying." ”

Xiaodouzi then asked, "How did Niangniang know that those five people were in that dry well?" ”

He had always had this question in his heart, when Niangniang told him that the five people who had disappeared were in the dry well, he was still a little suspicious, but when the five bodies were neatly placed in front of his eyes, he had to believe it.

Shu Wan smiled mysteriously and winked at Xiaodouzi, "This palace is calculated." ”

In fact, she really calculated it, a few days ago she learned a new spell in an ancient book, this spell is through a person's personal belongings to set the direction to recruit people.

So she thought about whether she could use this trick to find the missing minions in her palace, she knew that those people were already more than lucky, after all, more than two months had passed, so at first she just had the idea of trying it.

Unexpectedly, there was a reaction at the beginning, and the items that were spelled on them pointed straight in the same direction, and then when she inquired, it turned out that there was a dry well there, and there was a high probability that the corpse was thrown into it.

Later, she designed someone to clean up the dry well, and sure enough, five bodies were found.
