The murderer of the Fan Da Destruction Case was not a dead soldier who belonged to the Sang family's mansion, but it was precisely because he went to the Sang family's mansion the next day after the murder and was watched by Jinyiwei's secret agents, so he could not escape the net, he was arrested and arrested in the Song State Mansion, but an official like Shi Yuanhe, who entered the office with the "right path", did not have the great ability to pry open the mouths of these well-trained dead soldiers during the torture, and for several days, Shi Tuiguan still could not obtain a definite confession.

And the birthday of the Empress Dowager Shengde will not be delayed because of this criminal case.

Although the queen mother meant to prohibit extravagance, she repeatedly stated that she did not need civil and military officials and women from inside and outside to visit the shrine, but only invited some of their relatives and friends to have a banquet for a day, but the greetings of the princes, grandsons, princes and clansmen were still not reduced under the repeated insistence of Emperor Hongfu. On this day, the queen mother ascended to the throne in the Yuxi Palace on the west embankment of the Taiye Pond, and the emperor led the descendants of the clan to congratulate the first ceremony, and then the queen led the concubines, princesses, princesses, and clan relatives to congratulate the birthday, and then it was the turn of Shu Niangzi and other relatives who were summoned to the banquet.

Strictly speaking, the West Garden does not belong to the Miyagi domain, and its name is also because it is located in the west of the imperial city, which is not the palace where the emperor lives and lives, but as a garden for occasional travel, and is the Ouchi Imperial Garden where the palace is located, so that the emperor and queen can travel long distances without a lot of twists and turns. She suddenly remembered that when she was still young, she had gossiped with the sisters in the clan, and somehow mentioned the Imperial City of Ouchi, which was out of reach for them.

I still remember that Sister Shuzhen was holding the placket of her clothes at that time, and her eyes were full of longing: "If I have a chance to enter the palace once in this life, and see with my own eyes how the Ouchi court was born, the magnificent Heavenly Immortal Treasure Realm, even if I die, I will be blind." ”

But at that time, for the spring return, the Ouchi court was identified as a dangerous situation where you would die if you were not careful.

This impression comes from all kinds of miscellaneous books and books stored at home, many stories of the tragic death of the palace struggle, Chun Hui may not be unaware of these fabrications are not without exaggeration, but it is irrefutable that the lord of the palace does have the power of life and death, this kind of life is completely in the hands of others, like a rabbit breaking into the tiger and wolf surrounding the situation, how can you be relaxed and happy as a rabbit? Chungui has always been very wasteful, and Sister Shuzhen, as a rabbit, actually has a bizarre mood of longing for Tiger Forest Wolf Mountain.

Many of the etiquette rules and taboos of the audience have been memorized, and after Sergeant Ruan's "review and correction", Chun Gui did not recite repeatedly at this time because of nervousness, and seemed trembling and trembling, but she did not have the leisure to look at the scenery of the three seas of the West Garden, since entering the glazed door, the only thing she focused on was the smooth and clean stone road under her feet, as for how many palaces and pavilions, pavilions and water pavilions she passed, she did not pay attention to them, not to mention how many Rui beasts sat on the cornices, and what tricks were drawn on the corridor beams.

After meticulously completing the etiquette of greetings, under the guidance of the palace people, he boarded the palace car and went to Qionghua Island, where the banquet was arranged.

The palace car is specially prepared for the relatives of the queen mother who was summoned, and the regulations are naturally not as good as the etiquette of the concubine, a total of four people ride in one, and one of them feels strange in Chungui, but recognizes the other two co-passengers - Aunt Shen and Cousin Tao's mother and daughter.

It is not surprising that they can be summoned by the spring return, after all, this is the birthday of Empress Shen herself, inviting her sisters and nieces, saint

Of course, the Empress Dowager will not refute the face of the queen.

In Chungui's impression, Aunt Shen and Mrs. Shen are quite similar in temperament, and an obvious common point is that they are talkative, but today is not more than an ordinary banquet, even Aunt Shen is a lot more restrained, not like the last time they met, the endless parents were short, but the reserved Chong Chungui showed a smiling face, and Cousin Tao was even more reserved, but Chungui always felt that her smiling face was much sweeter than those two meetings.

Cousin Tao is in a good mood.

The palace car drove along the Taiye Pond for a while, and then stopped in front of the Yuyun archway, and there are palace people waiting here, leading to a shape like an arc of the clamp and then to the north, through a covered bridge, that is, to ascend Qionghua Island.

Chungui has read a poem by his predecessors, writing about the scenery of the island, there are sentences of "the three mountains on the sea embrace the green mustache, and the heavenly palace is far away in the blue clouds", and there is also a description of "the sunset hibiscus smoke curls, the autumn wind laurel tree dews together", immersive, the spring return but feel poetic and appropriate, although this time is not the evening and the golden autumn is not reached, from far to near, but does not hinder the remote imagination.

The scenery is indeed beautiful, but there is no pleasure in enjoying the scenery.

The palace banquet is the most boring banquet in the world, and Chun Gui personally verified Lan Ting's statement, which is not bad at all.

The birthday banquet hall is in the Renzhi Palace, but the identity of the spring return is not qualified to attend the banquet hall, and after following the etiquette toast and congratulate, it is led to the Jiefu Hall on the east side of the Renzhi Palace, which is a matching hall, the attendees are all relatives of the Queen Mother, although the arrangement is a high table and chairs, and four people sit at a table, but still in the courtiers, the palace people are served, need to strictly abide by the rules of prudence and deeds, that is, everyone eats silently, and can not eat more, even the sound of chewing can not be made, otherwise it is a loss of etiquette, At least it will become a laughing stock, and at worst it will be punished, and of course it will not be completely untouched, in short, although in the face of delicious food and wine, this banquet is simply like sitting on pins and needles.

Until the spring return was finished with the banquet, I didn't even see the eyebrows and eyes of today's birthday star Empress Dowager Shengde, not to mention Emperor Hongfu and the princes' clans, the whole process was guided by palace eunuchs, according to the different identities and genders, not to mention the seats, even the roads of travel are different, and the precautions are very strict.

It wasn't until Emperor Hongfu said goodbye after the banquet, and the Empress Dowager Shengde moved to the Guanghan Palace, where she watched singing, dancing and opera while drinking and talking with her relatives, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

But relatives like Chungui still do not have the qualifications to attend the Guanghan Palace, they are in the flower garden behind the Guanghan Palace, but at this time they can already move relatively freely, the range of activities is in the area between the Yuhong Pavilion and the Jinlu Pavilion, enjoy the flowers and scenery at will, and can also gossip and talk, Chungui wants to go to Shu Niangzi's side, but she saw a palace maid obviously coming towards her, she just hesitated, and her arm was grabbed by Aunt Shen.

"Fortunately, Brother Ting's daughter-in-law is also here today, so I don't lack people to speak, by the way, Brother Ting's daughter-in-law hasn't officially met the queen, right? Wait a while, the queen will call us to the Guanghan Palace to talk......"

As soon as Aunt Shen put on a chattering posture, the palace maid walked closer, and interrupted Aunt Shen's words without hesitation: "This is the tea specially given to Gu Niangzi by Concubine Hui, it is a begonia crisp, Concubine Hui loves its crispy and fragrant fragrance very much, but I don't know if it suits Gu Niangzi's taste." ”

He took the food box from the little palace maid behind him, opened it and took out a plate of refreshments, a white porcelain plate, which only contained two begonia flower snacks, a red-petaled golden stamen and a gold-petaled red stamen, which looked very exquisitely made.

Chungui took it and said with a slight smile: "There is a labor girl to transfer on behalf of the concubine, and the concubine is grateful for the reward of the mother." ”

"Concubine Hui said, today's dishes

The refreshments are all selected by the queen mother and personally supervised the cooking of the imperial dining room, Concubine Hui Niangniang just thought that today is the first time Gu Niangzi was called to the palace banquet, and the queen mother has to concentrate on the birthday of the queen mother, I am afraid that I can't be distracted to take care of Gu Niangzi, Niangniang is for the queen mother's worries, but Niangniang is very concerned about Mrs. Tai, after a while, I also hope that Gu Niangzi met the queen mother and the queen mother, and asked Gu Niangzi to talk alone. ”

After the palace maid finished speaking, she saluted and retired, and the etiquette seemed to be impeccable, but Aunt Shen felt that she was underestimated by this palace maid, staring at the palace maid's graceful back, and then dragged Chungui's arm over, which was a series of broken words: "Chun'er, don't believe Concubine Hui's words, she won't be kind!" Speaking of which, she was able to enter the palace thanks to the introduction of the queen mother, but now she turns her face and doesn't recognize people, no matter how busy the queen mother is today, she will not neglect her family, she is in a hurry to offer courtesy, Chun'er, you have to have an idea in your heart, don't be used by this ill-intentioned person. ”

Spring Return: ......

Do you want to openly discuss the matter of abolition and seizure of storage in Ouchi Imperial Garden? This Aunt Shen ...... Compared with his mother-in-law, he is more open-mouthed, and he instantly sympathizes with the queen mother in the spring.

It just so happened that at this time, she and the prince of the Jin Mansion's wife, Yi's eyes, met, and saw that the other party smiled at her, and hurriedly found an excuse to get out: "Mrs. Yi is there, why don't you go over and talk a few words together?" ”

Aunt Shen and Mrs. Yi have a disagreement.

First, she has a bad temperament, Mrs. Yi is always dignified and upright, but Aunt Shen is a little out of tune, and she was choked by Mrs. Yi many years ago, which caused her to feel a little guilty when she saw Mrs. Yi; Moreover, because the Duke of Jin was once keen to recruit Lanting as his grandson-in-law, but Aunt Shen was thinking about marrying her daughter into the Taishi Mansion, she herself regarded Mrs. Yi as her opponent.

Hurriedly pushed Chungui away: "I won't go, I can't get along with her all the time, and I can't be guilty of entertaining guests, Chun'er also cares, these noble ladies who are from famous families have their eyes on the Tianmen acupoint, don't be picked on by them." ”

Fortunately, Chun Gui didn't get wrapped around her little feet, so she didn't stumble directly by this push, she endured and stood firmly, so that she could bow and say goodbye, and temporarily got rid of the terrorist action of continuing to carry out dangerous topics in a dangerous place with Aunt Shen.

He also said that although Miss Dong completely broke off her friendship because of Miss Lanxin's offense, the Jin State Mansion did not have a bad relationship with the Taishi Mansion, and Mrs. Yi did not treat Chungui very closely, but she was not disgusted and estranged, and she also took the initiative to take a few steps forward when she saw Chungui coming here.

"Madame, is this always healthy?" Spring returns to the first place

"I'm fine, my lady's complexion looks better than last time."

This was a polite remark on the scene, but Chun Gui joked: "Today's birthday of the Empress Dowager's mother, I have been panicking for a long time, and I simply opened my eyes last night and didn't sleep all night, and I put on a thick layer of fat powder before going out, and finally covered my tired face." ”

Even Mrs. Yi was amused: "You are so witty, how can it be as serious as you say?" I see that your words and deeds today are very decent, and I was surprised that you were so calm earlier, thinking that when I attended the palace banquet for the first time, I was not as stable as you. ”

Chun Guizheng was about to humble himself, when he heard the voice of a boss behind him-

"Sister Yun, I finally looked forward to seeing you, now I really have no choice, you must help me!"
