Chapter 9 Ascending to the Disciples
It's just that when she saw Li Ruoxi, she knew that in addition to her, Li Ruoxi was also called by the queen.
She had long known that there were other people besides her who liked the Four Princes, but she didn't expect it to be Li Ruoxi.
Until he walked out of the peach forest, Bai Ziyue did not have Chu Mojing's figure.
Bai Ziyue stopped.
The maid in blue clothes saw that Bai Ziyue's face was not very good; "Miss, are you alright? The slave and maid see that your face is not very good, let's go home quickly. ”
Bai Ziyue looked up at the sky, and several birds were flying by at this time.
"Xiang'er, what kind of woman do you say the fourth prince likes."
The woman in the blue dress is named Xiang'er, Xiang'er said; "Although the slave doesn't know what kind of woman the fourth prince likes, the young lady is both talented and beautiful, and the young lady's talent and appearance are unmatched by anyone in Beijing."
"The fourth prince, he just doesn't know how good you are, miss, today's incident was obviously arranged by the queen, and the queen must think that you are worthy of the fourth prince, miss."
Hearing this, Bai Ziyue was in a much better mood.
"It's just that the queen's mother is still called Li Ruoxi......"
"Everyone knows that the queen mother and Concubine Li have not been on good terms for a long time, how can they marry the daughter of the Li family as their daughter-in-law, the slave maid guessed that this must be the emperor's meaning. Looking at today's situation, the queen and the emperor have not decided on the candidates for the four princesses, compared to Li Ruoxi, the slave maid thinks that you are the best candidate for the four princesses. ”
Xiang'er saw that the corners of Bai Ziyue's lips rose slightly, and her mood looked much better, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Ziyue walked slowly to the carriage, and just as she was about to be helped by Xiang'er to get into the carriage, Su Luo's voice sounded not far away.
"Is Miss Bai going back? I wonder if Miss Bai has time? ”
Bai Ziyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked sideways at Su Luo.
Bai Ziyue's tone was cold; "Miss Su is looking for me?"
Su Luo smiled lightly; "It's rare to see Miss Bai, I just want to talk to Miss Bai."
Bai Ziyue frowned, knowing that Su Wan was not a good comer.
Su Wan is arrogant, and people often compare Su Wan with her.
"Miss Su, I'm sorry, it's not early, my mother asked me to go back early, forgive me for not being able to gossip with Miss Su."
After speaking, Bai Ziyue was helped into the carriage by Xiang'er.
Su Luo looked at the carriage that was slowly moving away, his hands tightened slightly on his side, and he bit his lip gently.
Thinking of the expression of the third prince when he saw Bai Ziyue just now, Su Luo's eyes crossed with a touch of jealousy.
The third prince is hers, and no one wants to rob her.
In the pavilion, Su Wan and Li Ruoxi chatted very well.
Li Ruoxi is straightforward and fast-talking, what to say.
Chu Mohan, who hadn't spoken since Li Ruoxi sat down, suddenly spoke; "Wan'er, I'm hungry, let's go home."
Chu Mohan's tone was pitiful, very pitiful.
Su Wan looked at Chu Mohan with a smile, his age was younger than her, and Su Wan treated him like a younger brother.
"Miss Li, let's talk another day."
Li Ruoxi nodded slightly.
Since then, it has been raining lightly for several days.
Finally, the sky cleared, Su Wan sat on a rocking chair in the courtyard and basked in the sun, and the warm spring breeze blew on her cheeks, making people a little drowsy.
Every major festival, a banquet is held in the palace.
Just when Su Wan was about to fall asleep, Chu Mohan happily ran into the courtyard.
"Wan'er, Wan'er."
Su Wan was woken up by Chu Mohan's voice and looked at him sleepily.
"What makes you so happy with the Nine Emperors."
"The queen mother sent an invitation to the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and the food at the banquet was delicious."
Su Wan pulled the corners of her lips, he was so happy because of the food at the banquet.
Su Wan is a concubine, she is not qualified to participate in this kind of banquet, and every time there is a banquet in the palace, Su Luo goes.
The original owner didn't like to participate in the banquet in the palace, and there were many rules in the palace.
And she is now the Nine Emperor Princesses, so she can't participate if she wants to.
The Dragon Boat Festival banquet was held by the Taiye Pool, and when Su Wan and Chu Mohan arrived, there were already many people by the Taiye Pool.
Su Wan and Chu Mohan were brought to the position of the two by the palace people.
Just sat down for a while, only to hear the inner supervisor shouting: "The emperor has arrived!" The Queen Mother has arrived! ”
Everyone stood up and saluted: "See the emperor, see the queen." ”
Emperor Xuanwu said lightly: "Get up!" ”
Everyone sat down again, and the sound of silk and bamboo rose.
Su Wan had no interest in singing and dancing at all, and yawned boredly, fortunately her seat was in front, and beyond that was the stage, no one saw her lazy appearance.
The emperor and queen sat in the front row, as well as the ladies of the palace, and the prince and princess sat in the second row.
In the back are the princes and ministers, as well as the seats of their families.
Su Wan looked sideways at Chu Mohan beside him, who was very serious about destroying a plate of pastries in front of him.
Su Wan sighed, it was really a boring banquet.
Su Wan said to the apricot beside her: "I'm a little drunk, you accompany me to Yuhua Pavilion to change clothes." ”
Yuhua Pavilion is next to the Taiye Pool, and every time a banquet is held in the Taiye Pool, Yuhua Pavilion will be provided for the guests to change their clothes and rest.
Xing'er wondered, how could Su Wan get drunk because she hadn't touched the wine glass on the table at all.
Su Wan got up, and Chu Mohan looked at her: "Wan'er, what are you going to do?" ”
Su Wan smiled and said, "I'm a little drunk and want to go to Yuhua Pavilion to change clothes." ”
"I'll go with you too, Wan'er."
Su Wan wanted to refuse, she just found an excuse to leave the table, but Chu Mohan grabbed her sleeve and didn't let go, Su Wan sighed helplessly, so she had to agree to let him follow.
Leaving the Taiye Pool, Su Wan did not walk in the direction of Yuhua Pavilion, but in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
Chu Mohan tilted his head and looked at Su Wan suspiciously: "Wan'er, you didn't say that you were going to Yuhua Pavilion, this road is not the way to Yuhua Pavilion." ”
Su Wan smiled faintly and said, "Take a walk, sober up, Nine Emperor Princes, don't you like to feed the carp in the thousand carp pond, how about we feed the carp?" ”
Chu Mohan said happily: "Okay! Okay! ”
There are a lot of carp in the thousand carp pond, and Su Wan sits on the stones on the shore and looks at the fish swimming happily in the pond.
"Apricot, you go get some fish food."
Xing'er hesitated a little and said, "The slave maid is not worried about the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses. ”
"What's not to worry about, this is the palace."
"Yes, the slave will be back soon."
Apricot went to get fish food.
Su Wan watched Chu Mohan squatting on the edge of the pool, looking at the carp in the pool without blinking.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Bai Ziyue?
Bai Ziyue didn't see Su Wan and them, and walked straight in the opposite direction of Qianli Pond.
Not long after Bai Ziyue, Su Wan saw Li Zhi also walking in the direction of Bai Ziyue.
Su Wan frowned slightly.
I wondered in my heart, Li Zhi was following Bai Ziyue?
Although she was a little curious, she was not a nosy person.
Xing'er brought fish food, and when Su Wan and Chu Mohan were feeding the fish, an anxious voice came from behind them.
"Slaves and maids see the Nine Emperor Princes, the Nine Emperor Princesses."
Su Wan turned her head to look at the visitor.
Su Wan raised her eyebrows: "You are?" ”
If she is not mistaken, the woman in blue clothes in front of her seems to be the maid next to Bai Ziyue.
"The slave's name is Xiang'er, and she is the personal maid of Miss Bai of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion."
"Oh, you're so flustered, what's going on?"
"I, my family, my young lady is gone."
Su Wan frowned: "What did you say?" Your lady is missing? ”
Xiang'er was very anxious: "I accompanied the young lady to Yuhua Pavilion to change the dirty clothes, and the result was ...... Miss she entered the room to change clothes, let the slave wait outside, waited for a long time and did not see Miss come out, so she pushed the door in to see, but Miss she was not in the room at all. ”
It turned out that when she saw Bai Ziyue just now, she was going to Yuhua Pavilion to change clothes, but she was just ...... Su Wan felt as if something was wrong.
The direction Bai Ziyue went to just now was not the direction of Yuhua Pavilion.
"You take me to the room where your young lady is missing."
Xiang'er hurriedly took Su Wan and walked towards the room where Bai Ziyue suddenly disappeared.
Xing'er and Chu Mohan followed behind.
Walking through a cobblestone stone road, Xiang'er pointed to the palace courtyard not far away and said, "This is it." ”
Coming to a room with an open door, Xiang'er said; "My young lady suddenly disappeared in this room."
Xiang'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.
If something happens to her own young lady, then her life is not guaranteed.
Su Wan entered the room and looked around the room.
There are only a few pieces of furniture in the room, which can be seen in full view.
Su Wan thought that there shouldn't be any secret passages or anything like that.
Su Wan looked at Xiang'er; "That's where your young lady disappeared?"
Xiang'er nodded and said with tears in her eyes; "During the banquet, when the little palace maid poured wine, she accidentally spilled the wine on my young lady, and the little palace maid was busy and asked my young lady to change her clothes, so we followed the little palace maid here to change clothes."
"Miss, she asked the slave maid to wait outside the door, and after a long time, the slave maid saw that the young lady had not come out, so she shouted twice, but no one responded, pushed open the door, where is the shadow of my young lady in the room."
As she spoke, a tear slipped from the corner of Xiang'er's eye.
Su Wan asked; "Have you ever left in the meantime?"
Xiang'er shook her head; "The slave and maid never left."
Su Wan frowned, how could a big living person disappear out of thin air.
However, no matter how you look at it, this room doesn't look like it has a secret passage.
Chu Mohan pointed to a cabinet more than one meter high; "Wan'er, Wan'er, let's hide and seek!"
Su Wan looked at the cabinet that Chu Mohan pointed to, and her eyes lit up.
Walk up to the cabinet and open it, it's empty, there's nothing.
Thinking of seeing Li Zhi following Bai Ziyue earlier, a bad premonition surged into Su Wan's heart.
Out of the corner of her eye, Su Wan saw that there seemed to be something in the cabinet.
Like a jade pendant, Su Wan reached out and took out the jade pendant and asked Xiang'er; "You've seen this jade pendant."
Seeing the jade pendant in Su Wan's hand, Xiang'er's face turned pale; "This, this jade pendant belongs to my young lady."
It seems that all this was deliberately arranged by someone.
Needless to say, Xiang'er also knows that her young lady is designed, but who is behind all this? Who would dare to do such a thing in the palace?
