Ouyang Zhen was also watching and listening. Seeing that Ouyang Zhen was listening carefully, the Liu family suddenly opened his mouth and smiled: "Sister Ouyang is so determined, I think I will come to the palace with the princess for the first time, and I will shrink my hands and feet, and I am too tired to do it." Sister Ouyang didn't feel dull, which is not bad. Her crooked eyes were full of inquiry.

Ouyang Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at her, smiled and shook the butterfly lotus in his hand and said with a silver edge: "The princess is calm and generous, and Sister Liu is also in and out of a certain degree, and the concubine can learn a little when she looks at it." It's good to come to the palace once. ”

Liu Shi bent his eyes and smiled: "Also, the sisters didn't have a chance to come." Sister Ouyang is really blessed. ”

Ouyang Zhen half-covered his face with a fan and laughed dryly.

Good luck?! She would rather not have this blessing.

Just after two o'clock in the afternoon, the palace people came to invite Concubine Chu and her wife to the table.

Ouyang Zhen followed at the back, walking slowly, but the advantage is that you can look around, the carved beams and paintings of the palace in the Chu Palace do not need to be detailed, and the feet of the eaves and corridors are all lacquered gold painted carvings, which are extraordinarily luxurious and rich.

When the group arrived at the apse of the "Yanhua Palace", the sun was already off, and the heat was not so hot. Behind the "Yanhua Palace" is the cold spring pool connected to the imperial garden, the surrounding forests are verdant, the vegetation is flourishing, and a pavilion is built by the water, and the women of life sit in it.

As soon as Concubine Chu arrived, those women and concubines got up with a smile, and for a while the pearls and greens swayed, the clothes were fragrant and the sideburns were shadowy, and the palace clothes mixed with gold and silver threads were dazzling.

Ouyang Zhen smiled on his face, found a vacancy and chose a small case to sit in the most remote place, only to find that the queen on the main seat on the table had not arrived.

Concubine Chu went around to salute, and the Liu family was also very busy, and when she was in a hurry, she suddenly heard the inner eunuchs pull their voices and say, "The queen has arrived-"

The crowd hurried forward to meet them.

Ouyang Zhen got up, raised his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that the queen was wearing a red mopping floor and gold silk thin smoke skirt, with various colors of gold and silver threads, and various colors of jewelry and agate embroidered with a huge phoenix stepping on auspicious clouds, luxurious and public.

She is over 40 years old, but her face is very well maintained, her makeup is also gorgeous, and she looks like she is in her early thirties. It's just that Ouyang Zhen felt that her eyes were slightly raised, and a coral-red plum blossom was pasted on her forehead, which was charming and mixed with indescribable majesty.

"The palace opened this banquet, just want to be close to the princesses and their relatives, and now my Great Chu country is in full swing, and it is the time of peace and prosperity...... "The queen raised the wine glass and sprinkled it, and said a lot, nothing more than political communication and harmony, prosperity of all industries, and so on.

Ouyang Zhen listened drowsily, Xu was very tired from getting up in the morning, and she was pregnant again, so she was extremely lazy, and her eyes could hardly hold it.

After the banquet was opened, a few cold dishes were served, and suddenly the queen said that she was going to go on a cruise, and the group of people obeyed their orders, withdrew the small wine case, and got on the painting boat parked on the shore one after another.

There are two floors in this flower boat, the upper floor is for entertaining princes and princesses, or the first rank of the lady, and the bottom is the lower rank of noblewomen.

Ouyang Zhen didn't have enough to eat, and he didn't know anyone around, so he had to lean against the carved window of the painting boat to look at the scenery.

was watching, and suddenly a palace maid came down to pass the decree and said, "Which one is the seventh lady of the Dinghou Mansion, Ouyang Clan?" The queen sent a decree to see you. ”

Ouyang Zhen came back to his senses suddenly, gave the palace maid a little blessing, and followed.

When I got to the second floor, I saw Concubine Chu beside the queen saying something with a smile.

Ouyang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

The queen turned her head and ordered her to get up, looked carefully, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and then said slowly: "Oh, it turns out to be such a beauty." Listen to Princess Chu say that you are pregnant? But how many months? ”

Ouyang Zhen said respectfully: "It's been three months since Queen Qiqi's mother. ”

The queen nodded: "This is very good, although it has been three months, but you should be careful, seeing that you are deeply tired on your face, I will not be embarrassed that you accompany the palace to swim in the lake, and so on, you go down to rest." ”

Concubine Chu was busy thanking her, and Ouyang Zhen was also thankful.

The queen said with a smile: "Quickly ask the palace people to row on the shore, looking at you like this, it seems that you are not happy to swim in the lake with this palace." ”

As he spoke, he repeatedly asked people to spread the word and dock on the shore.

Concubine Chu hurriedly said: "Where is the queen, the concubines are very happy to accompany the queen, but they are all from the past, and they are afraid of tossing when they are pregnant." She was weak, so she was allowed to rest. ”

The queen's red lips pursed slightly, but she just shook her fan and smiled, but she didn't speak.

Ouyang Zhen waited for the boat to dock, and then was led by the palace people to the palace.

Because the place where the ship docked and the place where it was offshore, it would take a long way to make a long detour, Ouyang Zhen followed the palace people to turn left and right, and the more he walked, the more confused he became.

The more I walked, the more I felt that the place where the palace people were leading was remote, not like the "Yanhua Palace", Ouyang Zhen endured for a long time before asking: "This father-in-law, didn't we make a mistake?" ”

The palace man who led the way turned around, smiled politely at her, and said nothing. Ouyang Zhen couldn't, so he had to follow him, and after a little half an hour, Ouyang Zhen felt that his legs were sore, and he came to a secluded palace gate.

The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, and just as she was about to ask, the palace man suddenly walked away in a hurry, Ouyang Zhen was about to call out to him, and several attendants came on both sides, without saying a word, and immediately stepped forward to hold her, tied her hands and feet, and walked quickly to the door.

Ouyang Zhen was so shocked that the three souls and six spirits almost flew away, and when he came back to his senses, the person had been tied up and leaned back on the chair.

The palace door slowly closed, and the light outside the door was also cut off. Several of the chamberlains also withdrew.

Ouyang Zhen's big eyes were full of despair, panicked and helpless, and he had never been so cold as at this moment that it penetrated into the bone marrow.

She struggled desperately, and could only whimper with a cotton cloth in her mouth.

While struggling, suddenly a hoarse voice sneered: "It turns out that this is such a person, what kind of beauty should I be." But that's it. ”

Ouyang Zhen looked up at the place where the voice came from, but saw a person wearing the clothes of an inner servant standing in the shadows, his face was covered with a face scarf, and his small eyes were full of bitter hatred and viciousness.

It seems that no one has been here in this abandoned palace for a long time, and there is a musty smell everywhere. The cold wind blew in through the broken windows all around, and the scorching heat of July made it feel like autumn.

Ouyang Zhen struggled desperately, but the rope tied to his body was very strong.
