In the palace, Jingyu Garden.

In the second half of last night, a heavy snow fell and covered the ground in a thick layer.

Early in the morning, the palace people held brooms to sweep the snow, and now a road has been opened.

Concubine Yu fell to the root of the disease when she gave birth to a child in the early years, her body was not very healthy, and she often couldn't sleep well at night.

"Mother!"

Suddenly there was a cheerful cry, Concubine Yu turned her head, and saw her baby Yu Ning striding over, and the tired look on her face immediately dispersed, "Ning'er, come and let the concubine take a look." ”

Yu Ning walked over quickly, and when she saw Concubine Yu's face, she couldn't help frowning, held her waist, and led her into the house, "Didn't the mother concubine have typhoid fever again yesterday?" This one is so haggard. ”

Concubine Yu's eyes were full of joy, and she let him push away, "No, I just didn't sleep well, it's okay." It's you, why did you think of going to the palace to see me today? Concubine Yu's tone was full of resentment, but when she listened carefully, she was more spoiled.

"It's not snowing last year, Erchen is worried about you, look at what good things I have brought you."

He leaned something out of his bosom, and Concubine Yu looked sideways and saw that it was a delicate box, and when she unfolded the box, there was a withered flower lying quietly inside.

"Dragongrass grass?"

Yu Ning nodded, "I asked a friend to find this thing with a lot of difficulty, and I will catch up with the first snow quickly, but it is still too late, after you drink it, you will not have this typhoid fever again this winter." ”

Concubine Yu smiled when she heard this, "With your heart, my mother can be cured for any illness." ”

After chatting with Concubine Yu for a while, Yu Ning cut to the chase, "By the way, Mother Concubine, do you know Master Zhang Wenhuai Zhang." ”

Putting the teacup down, Concubine Yu was a little puzzled, "What do you ask him to do?" ”

Yu Ning smiled, "Erchen saw a girl from an official family today, and he thought it was good, and it was just right to marry him." ”

"You usually don't care about these idle things, why do you want to match people today?" Touching her nose, Yu Ning smiled, "It's not that Princess Qiyang found a family affair with her niece Xie Ruqing some time ago, and Miss Xie was unwilling in her heart, so Qiao Zhuang came to beg me." Erchen also felt unbearable in his heart, so he thought of a reason for matchmaking. ”

"Princess Qiyang's niece? Isn't that Xie Ruqing girl? ”

Yu Ning nodded.

He admitted that it was refreshing, and it was Concubine Yu's turn to worry.

The woman once had a rumor among the people and Yu Ning, saying that she was the incarnation of the fox and openly seduced the Nine Emperor Princes. The Nine Emperor Princes can turn a blind eye, but she can't as his mother.

"I've heard of that woman for a long time, so why don't I meet her at a time."

"The concubine wants to see her?"

Yu Ning thought for a while, and then suddenly had an idea, "If you ask Miss Xie out directly, I'm afraid it will make people think too much." If it is my birthday in a few days, I will invite her over and give you a whisper of the time, what do you think? ”

"Okay."

If you talk about the happy events in this palace, in addition to the royal banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the second is the birthday of the Ninth Prince.

Yu Ning is the emperor's favorite among many princes, and it is naturally very grand.

The Nine Emperor Princes prepared an invitation early, and quickly sent one to friends from all over the country, one of which was for the Qiyang Palace, specifically for Xie Ruqing.

Yu Ning has a broad temperament and many friends, most of whom come in the morning are male friends, and female relatives will enter the palace in the afternoon.

Because of the marriage, the Nine Emperor Princes were kind to her, so Xie Ruqing didn't think much about it when she saw the invitation, so she agreed.

Counting the hour, when he entered the palace, there was still an hour before the banquet began

"Girl, there is still an hour before the banquet begins, I heard that the ladies of the advanced palace have specially arranged places to go, why don't we go and stay for a while, girl, your body and bones are already weak, and you don't want to get caught in the cold." ’

Ruhuan's proposal was good, Xie Ruqing nodded.

casually pulled a palace maid, asked for directions, and the two walked away.

The ladies and dependents are all arranged in the Fangcui Pavilion in the west, which is not far from here.

Anyway, the hour was still early, and the two of them were not in a hurry, and walked slowly. While walking, you can enjoy the scenery in this palace.

Although it is winter now, I can't see the scene of flowers in full bloom and green and prosperous, but this snow-capped is also very eye-catching.

She enjoyed the scenery leisurely, no one disturbed her, but she gradually emptied her mood, and the whole person was fluttering.

The two walked all the way, and soon saw a large hall with Fangcui Pavilion written on it, and there was a small conversation in it, the conversation was very small, but there were many sounds, and it was conceivable that there were many people inside.

The two walked in, and as soon as they stepped into the threshold, the sound in the room gradually became quieter, and more than a dozen eyes shot straight at them.

Xie Ruqing nodded lightly and walked in with a smile.

As soon as he sat down, a palace maid served refreshments.

"Isn't this Miss Xie?" A woman in a goose yellow dress sat over, and the man raised his eyes to look at Xie Ruqing, with a smile in his eyes, but the smile was a little unkind.

Xie Ruqing recognized it, this was also one of the crows in the Nine Kings Courtyard last time.

"I heard that the Nine Emperor Princes invited a lot of friends for this birthday, but I didn't expect to invite a dumb person."

She picked up a pale green pastry and put it to her lips to taste.

It's just that the dumb word came out, and the room instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at it.

No matter how much Xie Ruqing is not liked by others, no matter how fierce the rumors outside are, no one dares to say that she is a mute to her face. After all, behind her, there was still a huge Qiyang Palace.

"This girl, please be careful."

Ruhuan, who had been standing silently behind Xie Ruqing, suddenly had a cold face and reminded coldly.

"Smack!"

The answer was a loud slap, and the woman in yellow who was sitting at the table just now had a sneer on her face, she didn't look back, she only looked at Xie Ruqing lightly, and it was naturally her maid who was waiting for her to make a move.

"Miss Xie is really soft-hearted, and she spoils this cheap maid to be lawless, but I don't know where the dialogue between the masters can accommodate a subordinate to intervene."

When she said this, everyone took another breath.

The dialogue between the master and the son must also be able to speak.

Ruhuan was beaten, Xie Ruqing's face also changed, she slowly stood up, looked at the maid who was still arrogant when she beat someone, and slowly raised her hand, "Smack!" A louder slap was slapped, louder than before, and was tied to the servant's face.

The maid didn't expect that the rumored gentle Xie Ruqing would fight back, and she was a little surprised when she covered her face.

"Oh my God."

I don't know who was sitting next to me couldn't control this sound, and it was only then that people's thoughts were awakened.

Xie Ruqing beat Shang Shuhua's maidservant?

Shang Shuhua is the daughter of Shang Shangshu, the name of the capital, and the dignity is incomparable.

Shang Shuhua's face changed and changed, and finally she couldn't hold back after all, she crumpled the pastry in her hand into pieces, and slowly stood up, her eyes stared at Xie Ruqing, her face was gloomy, and she said slowly: "Someone." ”

Many people walked in from outside the Cuifang Pavilion, including a grandmother who came in a hurry.

Mama was old but steady, and walked over among the crowd, her eyes swept around Xie Ruqing and Shang Shuhua's faces, and finally landed on the two maids who covered their faces.

You know what's going on.

"This Cuifang Pavilion does not tolerate private fights, if the two masters have any grievances, don't spread wild on the three inches of the old slave."

This Mama Zhao is the old lady in the palace, and it is said that she has watched the Nine Emperors grow up since she was a child, and her status is very high.

When everyone saw it, they all had to give three points.

Shang Shuhua's face changed, and finally changed to a smiling face, "Mama Zhao doesn't know, what kind of place is this Cuifang Pavilion, this maid dares to sprinkle in the palace, and there is no one who is inferior and humble." ”

Mama Zhao walked in slowly, and before she could speak, she heard another voice from behind, and the person who reported it was a sharp little eunuch, "The Nine Emperors have arrived!" ”

Everyone's faces changed and they got out of the way.

The Nine Emperor Princes wore a black robe and walked in quickly.

"See the Nine Emperors."

Many people paid homage in unison, and he turned his gaze, but looked at the only person who did not make a sound.

"Miss Xie, I've been looking for you for a long time."

The Nine Emperor Princes didn't know what had just happened, and it wasn't until he walked in that he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere, his eyes swept over Xie Ruqing's somewhat reddened eyes, and then looked at Ruhuan behind her, his face was swollen and swollen, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"What's going on?"

Everyone took a breath of cold air for a while.

That Mama Zhao didn't want things to get serious, so she said in a timely voice: "It's all some small misunderstandings, I have some plasters, just take someone to apply it, and it can reduce the swelling." ”

Mama Zhao's status is very high, and the Nine Emperors are also extremely respectful. Now when I heard it, I nodded and didn't say anything more.

It's just that his gaze subconsciously paused on Shang Shuhua's face for a while, and at the end, he asked, "Shang Shuhua's daughter, Shang Shuhua?" ”

Shang Shuhua's face was full of joy, and he hurriedly replied: "It's the courtier." ”

"I heard folk rumors that Shang Shuhua is the first talented woman in Kyoto, with an open-minded temperament and a tolerant personality."

Shang Shuhua listened, and his face changed.

The Nine Emperor Princes paused, and then said the second half of the sentence, "Now it seems to me that I haven't seen the previous ones, and this arrogance should be added." ”

didn't look at Shang Shuhua, and glanced at Xie Ruqing, Xie Ruqing obediently followed behind him and left the Cuifang Pavilion.

No one saw Shang Shuhua's delicate little face, a little cold, and the fierceness in those eyes scared people back two steps.
