In the evening, the old man brought news that Fu Xingzhou had gone out of the city. He entered the capital in advance, as if he really just wanted to see Jiang Changxi in advance, as he said, and came and went quietly, without alarming others.

The southern Xinjiang envoy has just entered the Lindu with the front foot, and the Xuanlang mission has also arrived with the back foot, and the Lindu City has been a lot more lively, and the people on the street come and go, and you can see those merchants who are dressed differently from the people of Dahong everywhere, and the interval between the patrol battalions and the patrol is also a lot closer.

I heard that the emperor summoned the envoys of the two countries, I heard that the palace held a reception banquet for the envoys of the two countries, and I heard that the three princes invited the envoys of the two countries to Pengyang Racecourse on behalf of the emperor......

For a while, it seemed that the people Jiang Changxi knew were busy, she always went to the eldest princess's mansion every few days to ask for peace and security, and she didn't see Han Weiqi a few times.

I heard the eldest princess say that the emperor was not resigned, and Xiang Liangqing accompanied the three princes and the fourth prince to receive the envoys of the two countries respectively.

Although the labor division moved a little more, I heard that not only Xuanlang came to Fu Xingzhou, who was not on the list of envoys, but even there was a great wizard in the Southern Xinjiang Mission.

"Grand Wizard?" Jiang Changxi still knows a lot about southern Xinjiang, and the people of southern Xinjiang are good at poison and believe in witch gods.

It is rumored that the Great Wizard is an attendant close to the Witch God, and can listen to and convey the will of the Witch God during sacrifices.

The people of southern Xinjiang believe that the great wizard can convey the blessings of the witch god to everyone in southern Xinjiang, so the great wizard has a very high status in southern Xinjiang, and he can even act as a substitute for national sovereignty in the era of the decline of the royal family.

Such a character would go to Dahong for a proton, which makes people have to re-attach importance to this southern Xinjiang proton Yin Chu who has been in Dahong for many years.

"The great wizard of Southern Xinjiang is equivalent to the national teacher of Dahong." The eldest princess of Heyang thought that Jiang Changxi was puzzled by the official position of the great wizard, so she explained: "I heard that he still has real power. "Dahong's position as the national teacher has been vacant for many years, and even if someone sits on it, it's just a false name.

"How could such a big man come to Dahong with the mission?" Jiang Changxi packed up the needle bag and asked as if unintentionally.

The eldest princess thought about it while sorting out her clothes: "I heard Ah Qing say that the Southern Xinjiang Proton and this great wizard seem to have a master-apprentice relationship. It was also this great wizard who sent protons to Dahong back then. Now that he has come to pick up the proton and return to China, it makes sense. ”

Jiang Changxi nodded and didn't ask any more.

During these days, Jiang Changxi didn't see Han Weiqi, and Fu Xingzhou didn't seem to be able to spare time to come to Tianshui Hall, let alone make trouble, so Jiang Changxi's heart finally settled down.

Mrs. Chen also invited Jiang Changxi to Chen's mansion as a guest, but Jiang Changxi politely refused on the grounds that his grandmother was unwell and wanted to go out of the city for medical treatment. I heard that her youngest son's journey from Pingzhou to the capital was not very peaceful, and he either met bandits or shipwrecked, and he was delayed for a long time, and he did not arrive in Lindu until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"They deserve it, let them toads want to eat swan meat, and dare to think about our girls." Xiutan came back from Fukang Hall, and happened to hear Mrs. Chen say this from the old lady, and the Jiang Wu family was still adding fuel to the fire.

Mrs. Chen's original intention was to let the old lady know how much suffering her youngest son had suffered to see Jiang Changxi, so that the old lady could relax. But to Xiutan's ears, it's like listening to a joke.

Jiang Changxi held his head with one hand, grabbed some bait with the other and threw it into the pool, and the golden, red, and black koi swarmed in, converging into a colorful painting.

Why does she think that Chen Liu's 'adventure' along the way is a bit of a coincidence?

The only osmanthus in the corner of Yifang Pavilion opened on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when he got up early in the morning, he pushed open the window, and the cool morning breeze sent a burst of floral fragrance, Jiang Changxi leaned against the window, a little intoxicated.

Xiutan came in with clean water for washing, and picked out the clothes to be worn by Jiang Changxi today, "This year's osmanthus is really blooming, just in time, you can make osmanthus wine tonight." ”

Jiang Changxi washed up briefly, sat in front of the dresser and looked for the jewelry to wear today, listening to Xiutan say this, he also looked eager to try, "Listen to my brother, the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet will not be too late, and the dinner will still be at home." You prepare the ingredients first, and we brew the wine before dinner. ”

Qingrong made up the bed, went over to pick out clothes with Xiutan, and didn't forget to remind: "It's okay to make wine, it's okay to taste wine, but you can only taste one glass." ”

Thinking of the amount of wine that her girl poured almost a glass of, Xiutan laughed out loud.

Don't underestimate Jiang Changxi, who was annoyed and ashamed: "If you don't expose people, we can still have a good time!" ”

"Anyway, the girl can only drink one glass of wine at most." Qingrong insisted: "Wine hurts the body, isn't this what girls often say?" ”

"......" Jiang Changxi was speechless, when did she be greedy for a cup, and she would leave such an impression of a drunkard on Qingrong.

After compromising helplessly, Xiutan came over to pull Jiang Changxi's hair.

didn't make too complicated buns, picked a few beads that would not be too conspicuous and put them on, Jiang Changxi changed the dresses that the two of them chose.

It just so happened that Jiang Changchang was not on duty today, and he felt that he hadn't seen his sister seriously for a long time, so Jiang Changchang had already freshened up and waited at the door of Yifang Pavilion.

The fragrance of osmanthus came to the face, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy, so comfortable that the corners of the mouth rose a little.

"Brother." Jiang Changxi came over, the hanging green silk was draped behind her head, and a few wisps of mischievously jumped on her shoulders, looking at the man with his head and low eyes.

Jiang Chang saw that her tilted head and smiled was really cute, he raised his hand and wanted to rub her hair, but before he fell, he remembered that today's palace banquet must be full of beauty, he couldn't be dead and ruin his sister's combed hair and cause her to fall into inferiority. Finally, he raised his hand, and had to fold and brush away a few strands of green silk from her shoulder.

Jiang Changchang has always been gentle and cheerful in front of his sister, and he has all restrained his arrogant and arrogant style, and he looks like a turbid son.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"I used it." Jiang Changxi replied obediently.

"That'll be fine." This is the first time that my sister has participated in a palace banquet after returning to the capital, and Jiang Changchang can't help but mention a few words: "After entering the palace, you will follow some mothers and ask the queen mother and queen to stay in peace." The Imperial Garden is divided into two seats for men and women, and the East Imperial Garden is mostly for men, so don't make a mistake. ”

"Today's palace banquet, the envoys of the two countries of Xuanlang in southern Xinjiang will also be there, if you meet them, try to avoid them. Although the fourth princess is a mad dog, she heard that the queen mother is going to choose a son-in-law for her today, so she should be more peaceful. You'd better stay out of the way, lest you get hurt by mistake. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Changxi paused, as if he was thinking about what else was missing, and didn't notice that Jiang Changxi responded while listening, and when he mentioned the fourth princess, he responded with a light voice, how to listen to it.

Jiang Changxi was actually thinking in his heart: I don't want to provoke the fourth princess, but I'm afraid I have to provoke it today.

"And this." Jiang Changyuan took out a cloth bag from his arms, stuffed it into his sister's hand, met her puzzled eyes and smiled: "Osmanthus candy." ”

Jiang Changxi took it with a smile, but he was still puzzled: "What does my brother do with osmanthus candy for me?" ”

"I'll give you something to eat." Jiang Changchang said as a matter of course: "It's best to eat candy and watch a show." "If it weren't for the fact that the melon seeds were too public, Jiang Changchang would have wanted to carry a bag of melon seeds into the palace.

Jiang Changxi was amused by him, thanked him for his kindness, and put the osmanthus candy into his arms. She didn't ask Jiang Chang what good show she was watching, she was afraid that when she arrived at the palace alone, there was only one cold in her eyes, where could she still care about watching a good show.

Speaking of which, she hasn't seen the cold for some time.

Sure enough, after entering the palace gate, the family of five parted ways. Jiang Wu led Jiang Changxi to the harem, and followed An Hou to the other side with his two sons.

Empress Dowager Liu is the biological mother of the eldest princess of Heyang, the first emperor concubine, and she was also a famous beauty in Lindu when she was young.

Under the Empress Dowager Liu is the queen mother.

The queen is the emperor's original match, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor, both of whom are deeply loved by the emperor. It's a pity that the second prince has a short life, and after his death, the queen became ill and gradually collapsed, and I heard that she had not participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet for several years.

But today, the queen is also in the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace.

Jiang Changxi retreated to the side with Jiang Wu's family, listening to the whispers of someone beside him, guessing whether there was something big about today's palace banquet, and even the queen mother was out of Fengyi Palace.

Jiang Changxi looked at his nose and nose, followed Jiang Wu out of Shou'an Palace, and walked towards the Xiyu Garden where the ladies were located.

The imperial garden in the palace was originally not divided between east and west, but it was just a place for men and women to settle down and talk before the palace banquet began.

It's just that summer goes to autumn, and now there are many dead branches and leaves in the lotus pond, and there is no beautiful scenery to see. It is the weeping willows on both sides of the lotus pond are green and oily, the branches of the locust tree are luxuriant, at a glance, there are enough people between the trees, both sides can not see really, but they are also incomplete, adding a bit of hazy meaning.

Approaching the imperial garden with one foot, the warblers and Yanyan enjoyed the flowers and looked at the water in groups of three and two, Jiang Wu swept around, and saw the old lady Chen on the other side of the pavilion.

She smiled at Jiang Changxi and said, "Xi'er, come with me to greet a few elders." ”

Jiang Changxi paused, but what he saw was Qin Mo lying on the fence of the pavilion, and his heart moved: "Okay." ”

Jiang Wu was very satisfied with Jiang Changxi's obedience, and took her directly to the place where Mrs. Chen was.

In the pavilion, the Duchess of Qin, the Duchess of Anguo, and the Chen Qin family are all there.

After seeing the ceremony one by one, Jiang Wu and Mrs. Chen got into a friendship: "Old lady, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your complexion and spirit are getting better and better." ”

"Here, your mouth is sweet, you know how to make my old lady happy." Old Lady Chen didn't pay attention to the faces of Chen Qin and the others, and beckoned to Jiang Changxi: "Xi'er is here, come over quickly, let the old body take a good look." ”

Not to mention the Duchess of Qin Guo and the Duchess of Anguo, even the Chen Qin family was surprised, and they didn't understand why Old Madam Chen was suddenly so close to Jiang Changxi. But as soon as he looked at Jiang Wu's look of wanting Mrs. Chen to be close to Jiang Changxi, and remembered the fact that Chen Qin's revealed that the old lady intended to marry Chen Liu, the Duchess of Qin and the Duchess of An Guo understood.

This is ridiculous.
