Chapter 20: The Autumn Water Feast
When the morning star rose, Yue Jin finally returned to the Prince's Mansion.
"Princess, it's really good that you're okay." Younan's excited tears were fluttering.
Looking at the bandages wrapped around Younan's arms, Yue Jin's heart was sour, and tears rolled in her eyes.
Younan came to comfort her instead: "Princess, can I be lazy now?" ”
"Alright, dead girl." Yue Jin hooked Younan's nose, and suddenly remembered that terrifying and eerie ghost-faced villain, and her whole body was cold and cold. She whispered, "Younan, that person is really scary. ”
"Then princess, you rest first." Younan saluted and withdrew.
As soon as Yue Jin lay down on the comfortable and soft bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
The sword and sword shadow, the sky was full of blood, and there seemed to be something chasing her behind her, and she couldn't turn back, she couldn't stop, she could only run forward desperately. The moon-white figure appeared on the side and beckoned to her, and she ran towards it like a life-saving straw, but stepped into the air and fell into the abyss.
Yue Jin sat up suddenly, her clothes were wet, and cold sweat was still pouring out.
She calmed down, put on a cloak and walked out into the courtyard, but it was already noon.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to you this morning." Youlu said.
"Do you know what's going on?" Yue Jin frowned slightly, she felt that it should not be a trivial matter to let Xiao Yongqing come to her.
Youlu shook her head: "I don't know, His Highness only said that he asked you to find him when you are free." ”
Younan was a little excited, and said, "Niangniang, you have to seize the opportunity." ”
Yue Jin ignored Younan, but said to Youlu: "Do you know where His Highness is at this time?" ”
"At this point in time......" Youlu waved her fingers and thought for a while, "It should be in the school field, do you want to go over now?" ”
Yue Jin nodded.
"Princess, the slave and maid will accompany you." Younan preempted the way.
"No need, you can rest here." Yue Jin rejected Younan's request and looked at Youlu, "You go with me." ”
"Why didn't Niangniang bring Younan?" Walking on the road, Youlu couldn't help but ask.
"She has a straight temperament, and if she collides with someone in the school field, I'm afraid she will suffer." Yue Jin analyzed with a clear eye, "Besides, she wants me to stay here......"
Seeing that Yue Jin's words came to an abrupt end, Youlu smiled and said, "Is Niangniang planning to leave in the future?" ”
Yue Jin looked at her with complicated eyes, didn't admit or deny it, just sighed softly.
Seeing that she had arrived at the school grounds, Yue Jin was shocked by the momentum of the rows of soldiers who were drilling. Hundreds of people waved their arms in unison, with eyes and boards in one move, and the shouts resounded through the sky.
Her eyes fell on the two big and one small three figures sitting idly in the tent next to the school grounds, if she was not mistaken, Su Nianzheng and Ruoya were talking about something.
Youlu also noticed, and she asked, "Niangniang, Mrs. Li is also here today." ”
"Little Madam Li?" Yue Jin was stunned.
"That's right, it's the one next to Su Niangniang, who came with Su Niangniang to see you that day, do you remember?"
Yue Jin thought about it carefully, and even now that she thought about it, she didn't feel that Ruoya was much different from others, and she seemed to be a deferential maid.
"Speaking of which, Mrs. Li still has a fate." Youlu said.
"In that case, then why doesn't she live in Loei, but on an errand in the Prince's Palace." Yue Jin was puzzled, would there be people in this world who would rather give up their idle days and not do it, but want to be a subordinate? She thought no.
"Because General Li Xiao is not in the mansion." Youlu patiently explained, "Old Man Li died early, Old Madam Li was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people all the year round in the Zhenguo General's Mansion to help Old Madam Wu train some female guards, and the commander of Li Da had never married, and there was actually no one in the huge Li Mansion.
"Mrs. Li was good friends with Su Niangniang before she got married, and this General Li Xiao is His Royal Highness's companion, so let Mrs. Li fight at Su Niangniang's place, but no one objected."
Yue Jin was slightly surprised, and it happened that Su Nian beckoned to her at this moment and walked over.
/
Time flies very quickly, as if you are eating and drinking, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of the autumn water feast.
Yue Jin dressed up, but she didn't see Su Nian until she got into the carriage, and it was said that she was called away by Emperor Yao's concubine the day before to help.
The distance from the garden is not too far, but on the way, you have to climb over a small hill, and the bumps make Yue Jin a little nauseous.
When she got out of the car, she was so dizzy that she almost couldn't stand firmly, but fortunately, Younan helped her in time.
It's still early before the banquet, except for the palace maids and eunuchs who are busy shuttling back and forth, they are three or two familiar women chatting together.
Their eyes fell on Yue Jin from time to time, and apart from polite greetings, no one came to chat with Yue Jin.
Yue Jin sat alone in her seat with nothing to do, thinking that these people couldn't drive her away, so she simply listened to them with a cheeky face.
Most of the chats are about the short gossip of the parents, what the owner of the family has taken a concubine, and the girl of the west family has made a marriage...... Yue Jin felt bored, and was about to leave when she heard one of them:
"A few days ago, the Japanese government can be regarded as catching that thief, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go out today."
"Really? That's great. The other woman replied, "Mr. Lin can be regarded as having a good rest now." ”
Mr. Lin is a well-known sage in Hanshu, not only the official literati revered him, but also for some reason he was very popular with women, children, and children.
"With such a heavy hand on Mr. Lin, he should be sent to Ling Chi."
"No, I remember the man seemed to be drunk."
Yue Jin's movements to get up slowed down, she thought of the high-spirited Huai she saw that night, although he was a little unserious, but he didn't look like a heinous bad guy.
Yue Jin shook her head, it happened to be the same name.
Hearing that Concubine Kang and several maidens had come yesterday, thinking that Su Nian should have come here, she casually stopped a palace maid to inquire about Su Nian's whereabouts.
The palace maid lowered her head and said timidly: "Back to the crown princess, the crown princess and the concubine of the Yao Emperor are accompanying Concubine Kang to appreciate the chrysanthemums in the pitching pavilion." ”
Yue Jin asked her again about the location of the pitching pavilion.
She had already heard rumors that the crown prince was the only favorite concubine and the crown princess were in discord, and she refused to say it for fear that she would get into trouble.
At this moment, a bright yellow figure appeared in front of Yue Jin's eyes.
She is not tall, but she gives people a sense of oppression that should not be underestimated, and the golden phoenix hairpin on her hair bun shows the noble identity of the owner.
Yue Jin Fuli said: "Participate in the queen's mother." ”
The queen nodded slightly, helped her up, and took her hand affectionately: "I've really wronged you these days." As he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes drooped, and he even squeezed out a few tears.
Just when Yue Jin was wondering, the queen gave the palace maid a look and asked her to retreat.
