Soon, the blacksmith confirmed that the buckwheat's guess was correct.

The horseshoe on the right front foot of Blaze has a total of six horseshoe nails, five of which are very short and normal, and after penetrating the skin of the horsehoe, the head of the nail is slightly bent to hold the horseshoe in place.

Only one nail was very long, and after passing through the horn of the horse's shoe, it continued upwards and drove into the flesh and bones of the horse.

"It's a good thing that this horse didn't run with much force, otherwise this foot would have been useless."

The blacksmith gently removed the pebbles from the cracks in the horseshoe ditch with a knife, and poured some medicinal powder on the wound.

"If the pack man ran just now, what would have happened except for the horse's legs?" Buckwheat bent over her hands on her knees and watched carefully as the blacksmith re-nailed the flames.

"How? Probably pouting his hooves because of the unbearable pain, and the horse would not want to be carried on his back at this time. ”

The blacksmith is not a veterinarian, he just repairs the hooves and nails the horseshoe for all kinds of horses, summing up these experiences.

Hua Qiao and Hu Yanjin glanced at each other: This person is really good-hearted! The horse pouted the emperor's grandson, and it was going to be killed on the spot, so who would notice that there was such a fatal nail on the horseshoe?

Hu Yanjin even thought that the imperial grandson didn't know what the consequences would be. The lightest is also fright and bruising.

So, who will replace him in the limelight for tomorrow's spring banquet?

After the spring is harvested in the spring racecourse, it is the spring banquet on the day of the beginning of spring.

This year's spring banquet in the palace is still held in the East Garden in the imperial city, in addition to the royal relatives, young officials below the fourth grade of the Beijing Division, or young girls from the officials' families will be invited to participate.

These officials often do not have the opportunity to meet the emperor on weekdays, so they all hope to make a good impression on the emperor.

There are also officials who can't go because they are sick, because they are afraid that they will be favored by the princess and the county lords, and they will be forced to take the horses and county horses, and the good days will come to an end.

Of course, the young girls didn't think so, they were counting on being favored by the prince and the prince, so that they could fly up the branches and become phoenixes one day.

Before the New Year's Day, the big business of jewelry shops and tailor shops was taken care of by these girls.

"Senior brother, are you back? What did His Royal Highness Taisun say? ”

Hua Qiao asked Xiao Qi and Ah Rui to gesture to the hairpin on their heads.

"It's too late, the little chamberlain in charge of feeding the flames in the Imperial Horse Prison has been hanged, and it is estimated that he is a substitute for the dead, but he can't be checked for the time being."

Hu Yanjin looked at the buckwheat in the bronze mirror, and asked with a smile: "Are you preparing to attend the Spring Festival banquet tomorrow?" ”

When the two girls looked at it, the young master waved quietly behind their backs, and they both smiled and withdrew.

He looked at the jewelry in the makeup box, picked out a red and velvet flower hairpin, inserted it on the side of the flower buckwheat sideburns, and asked:

"Are you really going to the East Palace tomorrow? Although the East Garden and the East Palace are not far apart, there is a palace wall in the middle. ”

"However, I have no other chance to enter the palace......"

"Then you don't wear jewelry that is too difficult to take off, I'll find you a set of palace maid clothes tomorrow, so that it will be easier to move."

Hua Qiao's eyes widened, and she turned around happily, and her two arms hung around Hu Yanjin's neck: "Really? Brother? I thought you didn't approve of me going! ”

Hu Yanjin took advantage of the situation to kiss her on the lips, wrinkled his nose and said, "What if you are taken by which prince and lord tomorrow?" ”

"Then you've got to get me back!" Hua Qiao grinned and twisted Hu Yanjin's neck.

"What should I do if I can't rob it?"

Hua Qiao untied the buckle around his neck, pulled out a rope from it, touched the jade wrench on it and said:

"I've accepted all the dowry, do you still want to marry me?"

Hu Yanjin was excited and took her in his arms. He only hopes that the master can come to Beijing as soon as possible, set a wedding date, and let them get married as soon as possible.

When he went out the next day, Hu Yanjin really saw that there was only the one with the velvet flower on the head of the buckwheat, and he raised his hand on the plum tree in the yard, picked two yellow plum blossoms, and inserted them on her sideburns.

"Today, you may be the most simple girl at the Spring Banquet."

"Then ask His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun to give you some money, so I can buy flowers and wear ......."

The East Garden is a royal garden, on the east side of the Forbidden City. All the way in, there are big trees on both sides of the path, until in front of a large hall, Yaotai jade brick, golden and brilliant.

From time to time, I see the strange stone forest tower, and the flower spring is planted around it, which is beautiful.

"Senior brother, look, it's still so cold, why are the flowers blooming by the spring?" Hua Buckwheat asked in a low voice.

"The hot spring water was brought in from outside, and it was much warmer than in other places. Don't look at the natural place everywhere, in fact, it is all artificial. ”

In the main hall, the emperor, the prince and the princes were chatting, and they were led to a large warm pavilion, and the people here were more complicated, and everyone was greeting people who knew each other.

Hua Qiao only has one friend in Beijing, Fang Wanyan, but her father is a second-class member and is not included in today's invitation.

The male guests were all in the side hall on the left, waiting to see the emperor. The female guests are more relaxed, they are not qualified to meet the concubine, just waiting for the spring banquet to start, adding some color to the palace.

"Yo, which house are you a girl from the house, and you're dressed too shabby today, aren't you? Although we are not a big family, we are all with the emperor no matter what, you are not fighting openly...... The face? ”

A dressed girl giggled, pointed at the buckwheat and sneered.

She is the daughter of Shi Langzhong, a Qing official of the Ministry of Industry, although Hu Langzhong is only a five-grade official, Tuntian Si is a fat shortage, and good things are moved to the house.

Hua Qiao smiled faintly, only drank the tea in the cup, and ignored her.

Miss Hu's face was a little unbearable, and she angrily picked up the teapot on the table, went over to refill the buckwheat cup with water, and said in her mouth:

"This is a good tea in the palace, you can drink more, you won't be able to drink it when you go back!"

Seeing that the tea was about to overflow the cup, Miss Hu still didn't stop, and the girls next to her were shocked.

The wine is full of respect, and the tea is full of deception.

Hua Qiao smiled slightly: Come and don't be rude!

I saw that she pretended that the cup was too hot to hold, so she snorted softly, and the teacup in her hand knocked into Miss Hu's arms.

Miss Hu's hand trembled, and she was trying to dodge, where would Hua Qiao let her escape? There is a trick in martial arts called "sticky", and it is not negotiable to hit you closely.

At this moment, a pot full of cups of tea was sprinkled on Miss Hu.

Miss Hu was so angry that she forgot that this was the palace, and cried and shouted that she was about to go to pull the buckwheat: "If you destroy my clothes, you will ask your father to pay it back with a lifetime of money!" ”

Hua Qiao's body flickered, jumped back, dodged her hand, and unexpectedly bumped into a person's arms.

Miss Hu didn't care to see who it was, she still rushed over to catch the buckwheat, but was grabbed by someone and pushed by her wrist, Miss Hu was about to cry, only to hear him reprimand:

"Where did the shrew come from, get out of the lonely!"
