Chapter 36 │ East Palace
The second day of the lunar month is the birthday of the crown prince Jiang Yunfeng, and the whole world celebrates, and when the crown princess finds out that she has been three months pregnant, this is seeing that the emperor is going to have the eldest grandson, so he took advantage of the prince's birthday to give amnesty to the world.
And on this day, the gate of the palace is also very lively, many foreign officials have also rushed to celebrate, the scene is even on par with the emperor's birthday, who does not know that the prince is going to inherit the throne, and now the emperor is old and sick and painful, it really can't last long, everyone has a mirror in their hearts, and they are all rushing to tie up the prince and go to the East Palace to join in the fun.
Similar to the last Halloween, the prince and the officials and ministers drank in the front hall, and the harem and the ladies in the palace were listening to the play in the backyard, because the princess was pregnant and not easy to manage, the queen mother personally handled it, early in the morning, Linghu Qingge was carried out by Shen Shu and Zuo Chang'an, sat in front of the mirror and made up, Shen Shu saw Zuo Chang'an standing behind Linghu Qingge with interest, so he withdrew his hand and stood aside.
In a daze, Linghu Qingge only felt a cold hairpin running through her scalp, she suddenly woke up, and looked at Zuo Chang'an behind her with a blank face in disbelief and said, "County King? You're murder! ”
Zuo Changan sneered and said: "I'm sorry, I'm a little unfamiliar, but this is the first time you have entered the palace since you entered the county palace, I think, there must be something special." ”
Linghu Qingge sighed silently, to show his helplessness, Zuo Changan seemed to have discovered some novelty, and he was still very happy between his eyebrows and eyes.
Not long after, Zuo Changan twisted around, but really combed out a spirit snake bun, although Hu Qingge looked awkward, but Zuo Changan picked a light apricot water pattern Lingbo skirt, draped in the white woven feather peacock feathers, but there was a touch of gentleness hidden in the cold, although the bun technique was rusty, but the color of the clothes was good.
Linghu Qingge glanced at Zuo Chang'an who was happy on the side with some surprise, she felt that Zuo Chang'an was wrong recently, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
Got up, Linghu Qingge took out the things in his arms but saw Zuo Changan take out the things in his arms, Linghu Qingge looked, it was the jade pendant that Zuo Changan wore for himself when he returned to the door last time, it was because of the friendship between Huixue and him, Linghu Qingge returned the jade pendant again, and the matter is now......
Linghu Qingge wanted to explain to him what was in her heart, but she also had concerns.
After thinking about it, Zuo Changan had already tied the jade pendant around Linghu Qingge's waist, and didn't say anything, just patted her and said, "The hour is almost up, we should go." ”
On the other side, Shen Shu and Yu Hu were already waiting outside, and the two got into the carriage and went all the way to the palace gate.
There was nothing to say all the way, Linghu Qingge glanced at Zuo Chang'an, and always felt that something was wrong with him, although he was used to being introverted and silent, but recently, Zuo Changan didn't go out, nor did he go to find the snow, why?
Linghu Qingge felt that there was something between these two people, since Linghu Tingxu said that to herself before, she understood the difference between insiders and outsiders, she also thought about it, these days are long, and she has gradually adapted to the life in the county king's mansion, should she say it or not, she also hopes that this day will go on like this, but if she still secretly makes waves on the back of the snow, her life will not be stable......
Thinking of this, Linghu Qingge decided to have a good talk with him, tilted his head and said: "Today's banquet in the East Palace is over, let's go to the Huaijia Teahouse to sit down, the tea from their family last time was not too fresh, and it needs to be brewed there." ”
When Zuo Changan heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at Linghu Qingge and said, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”
Linghu Qingge nodded, avoiding his gaze a little vaguely, Zuo Changan probably knew something in his heart, the last time he asked Yu Hu to go out to check, he also found some eyebrow clues, he also thought about it in his heart, it was just time to find a pair with Linghu Qingge.
When the carriage entered the imperial city, it changed to a soft sedan chair, and Zuo Changan told Linghu Qingge to say: "I'm afraid that the princess will look for you in a while, if you don't like those warblers and Yanyan, just ignore them." ”
Linghu Qingge nodded, only to see the soft sedan chair falling, and a little eunuch came over to say: "To the county king, the princess of the county, please say goodbye, today there is a banquet in the East Palace, the queen mother and the princess are in the inner palace, His Royal Highness the prince invited all the adults to talk in the front hall, so the slave took the county king to the front hall first, this is the palace maid Xuan'er, and took the princess of the county to the inner palace." ”
After hearing this, Zuo Changan said: "Since this is the case, then the king will go first." ”
Seeing this, Linghu Qingge and Shen Shu also went to the inner palace of the East Palace with the palace maid named Xuan'er, but within a quarter of an hour, they saw a eunuch hurrying over in the direction of the middle palace, and just saw Linghu Qingge, looked slightly, and then stood up and asked: "The slave is clumsy, I don't know what this lady is......"
Shen Shu said: "This is the princess of Anyang County, who is about to enter the East Palace for a banquet. ”
After hearing this, the eunuch immediately said respectfully: "It turned out to be the princess of the county, the slave was rude, but there was news in the palace just now, the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, and all the doctors in the hospital were announced, the queen mother, the prince and the princess all rushed over, I am afraid that today's family banquet will not be completed, and the slave is about to go to other palaces to inform him, so he will leave first." ”
Linghu Qingge saw that he looked in a hurry, and he didn't leave him to ask in detail, so he asked Xuan'er: "Who was the father-in-law just now?" ”
Xuan'er hurriedly said: "That's the head of the Inner Court Department, Father-in-law Liang." ”
Linghu Qingge stopped, ready to go back with Shen Shu, until the gate of the East Palace, saw Zuo Changan and Linghu Tingxu come out together, and followed Qu Liuyu on his side, the three of them walked side by side, saw Linghu Qingge, all came over, and listened to Linghu Tingxu speak: "Today, I originally heard that there is a market opened by Ryukyu merchants in Xifang, and I want to go after the banquet, but now there is something in the palace, Qu Gongzi and I want to go in advance, if the county king is free, go together?" ”
Zuo Changan and Linghu Qingge had their own concerns, and no one was in the mood to go shopping, so they both politely declined the invitation and left the palace early.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, before he had time to get into the carriage, Zuo Changan saw Yu Hu coming, his expression was not quite right, and his face was even more solemn, Zuo Changan seemed to notice something, and his body turned slightly sideways, so that Hu Qingge saw this, sensibly pulled Shen Shu, and went to the stall opposite, leaving Zuo Changan and Yu Hu to talk.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Changan looked at Yu Hu's appearance, feeling a little worried, he didn't know whether the news was good or bad this time, but he only heard Yu Hu say: "Back to the snow girl, I just went to Huiyin Restaurant." ”
Zuo Changan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the direction of Linghu Qingge, hesitated for a moment and said, "You go to Huiyin Restaurant to inquire first, and I will arrive later." ”
