Xiyuan Sanhai, commonly known as the North Sea, the Middle Sea, and the South China Sea, is actually to divide the Taiye Pond into three major areas, Qionghua Island is located in the south of the Taiye Pond in the Beihai Sea, there are natural foothills on the island, so the buildings on the island are distributed according to the mountain and the height is staggered. Xiyuan is located in the imperial city, as the forbidden garden of the royal family, naturally do not allow idle people to enter and wander, today's birthday of the Queen Mother is scheduled on Qionghua Island, even if the Son of Heaven has moved first because of the busy state affairs, but the princes and grandsons and even the children of the clan are still gathering to drink, and the female dependents are not only Shu Niangzi, Chungui and other foreign women, but also the six palace concubines are present, at this time the male and female defense is extremely strict, so most of the palaces on Qionghua Island are arranged with palace eunuchs to prevent men and women from mixing and causing scandals.

After all, not to mention the concubines of the inner court, the foreign women invited today are all relatives and friends of the Queen Mother, and it is not completely forbidden for the guests to go and play, such as Xie Zhaoyi's full stomach of difficult problems to discuss with Mrs. Yi, you have to find a secluded place, as long as it is not a place for male guests to drink, of course it is difficult for the palace eunuchs to stop.

If there is no invitation from Shu Niangzi today, Chungui will never go around to play, and even if Shu Niangzi is invited, she is still because the Queen Mother specially sent palace people to guide her to avoid taboos in order to be truly at ease, so when she walked along the mountain corridor to the north embankment, Chungui did not expect that there would be changes along the way.

The mountain corridor is not all the way down, it is already tortuous, and there are bifurcated corridors leading to the distribution of the palace, about to go down two turns, after four or five forked corridors, the wooded scenery has gradually opened up, and the premonition is about to arrive at the time of the north embankment cloister......

Suddenly, she heard a woman's exclamation from the other side of the corridor on the right.

At first, I thought it was an illusion, but Shu Niangzi also stopped at the same time, which confirmed that Chun Gui was true.

The right fork corridor is not deep and twisted, and you can see that it leads to a flower garden, and there are no palace eunuchs standing in front of the moon cave door of the flower garden, and the spring return who is extremely unfamiliar with the terrain of Qionghua Island did not rush to that end, she just stared at Shu Niangzi in a daze, and her eyes were full of trust in the head snake.

The "head snake" lived up to the hopes of the little supporters and said the name of this flower garden: "This is the Xuan Pei Garden, leading to the Ruxiang Terrace, and there should be no female relatives who mistakenly go here." ”

Qionghua Island is a small area, can not everywhere in the palace there are people to guard and station, and this is far away from the Guanghan Palace, if it is not Shu Niangzi and Chungui got the special permission of the Queen Mother, the rest of the female relatives can not wander to the area that is close to the male guests to drink, not to mention that the place where the male guests gather to drink today is neither the Xuan Pei Garden nor the Ruxiangtai, and even if Shu Niangzi and Chungui get special permission, they will also follow the guidance of the palace people behind them, so they will not go by mistake, so there is no personnel to watch here.

So the question is, who is it that makes an exclamation inside?

But in an unguarded place, a woman let out an exclamation!

Shu Niangzi and Chun Gui both felt the breath of conspiracy.

"Gongren and the lady will wait, and the slave and maid will go to inspect it." A palace humane.

The queen mother arranged for four palace people to follow, all of whom were in their early thirties, acting naturally and steadily, and they understood very well that there was something strange but Shu Niangzi and Chungui were inconvenient to visit rashly, so they volunteered to find out the truth.

At this time, Chun Gui heard a faint exclamation again, this time it was a man's voice.

Hurriedly looked at the "ground snake" again.

Shu Niangzi frowned, and said after a long time: "The mountain corridor is circuitous, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish things from left to right when walking here, but I have accompanied the Queen Mother to Qionghua Island a few times, and I know that the garden is ...... There is also a shortcut to the north

The embankment is along the corridor, but the entrance and exit along the corridor should be guarded by eunuchs. ”

"Did someone forcibly break into the ban?" Chungui judged.

"There aren't many people who have that guts." Shu Niangzi's brows became more and more frowned.

"I heard the woman exclaim earlier, and her voice seemed young."

"There are only two ladies invited today besides the clan girls." Shu Niangzi gasped: "Miss Tao is in the Guanghan Palace, it is very likely to be ......"

"Miss Dong." Spring returns with a sigh.

She and Dong Mingzhu only have a one-sided relationship, not to say how much good feeling, but at least there is no bad feeling, and listening to Lan Ting's usual narration, she has great admiration for Jin Guogong, and she loves the common feelings of people who love the house and Wu, and Chun Gui naturally does not want the reputation of Jin Guogong's granddaughter to be ruined.

This world's reputation is detrimental to the boudoir woman, but it is a life-threatening calamity!

There was no mood to continue shopping, Shu Niangzi and Chun Gui both stood in place and waited with solemn expressions, and soon saw the palace people who went to inquire hurry, just looking at their expressions, they knew that the situation was not good.

"Miss Dong of the Jin State Mansion fell into the water......"

"What?!" Shu Niangzi exclaimed.

"It's not that she fell into the water, it should be Miss Dong who jumped into the hibiscus pool by herself, and there are also His Royal Highness Taisun and Gao Gongzi, and the inspection of the queen's palace is also there, and when the slave and maid arrived, they also saw that the fifth highness, the sixth highness and the prince of the Ningguo Mansion had just arrived......"

"How is Miss Dong now?" Shu Niangzi asked hurriedly.

"It should ...... It's not a big deal......"

"What do you mean?" Spring return is also in a hurry.

"Miss Dong should be familiar with the nature of water, she has not drowned, and she can still drink His Royal Highness and Gongzi to rescue each other, but ...... Just reluctant to go ashore from the pool......"

"Hurry up and inform the Queen Mother, but remember not to alarm others!" Shu Niangzi hurriedly ordered.

"Mother of the world, even if Miss Dong is familiar with water, several highnesses are all ...... Let's get there first. Chungui said busily.

Shu Niangzi took a deep breath: "Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the grandson does this...... It's really lawless! ”

Shu Niangzi rushed ahead first, Chungui and the remaining three palace people followed quickly, and it didn't take long to march to the Xuan Pei Garden, and they saw the sparkling waves on one side, and the green lotus leaves had grown out of the water, but they could not spread all over this large pond, in a water pavilion, sure enough, there were a few sons and brothers in brocade clothes and jade belts, the fifth prince and the sixth prince Chungui knew each other, and recognized them at a glance, the two of them together with a young man with a face, were spreading their arms and seemed to block the other two.

Chungui quickly glanced at the only woman standing in the water pavilion, her eyebrows couldn't be seen clearly from too far away, and her expression was blurred.

There was still one soaking in the water, and it was true that he had not drowned, but had swam to the other side, and he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly.

Chun Gui did not bind his feet, and immediately ran around the embankment, and when he arrived at a convex embankment that was specially used for small boats to dock, the woman who was soaked in the water shouted: "Miss Dong! ”

The woman in the water turned her head and seemed to hesitate for a moment before floating here, and Chun Gui gradually saw her eyebrows clearly, it was Dong Mingzhu who had a one-sided relationship.

"I can't come up now, there is a labor lady, let people prepare a set of dry clothes, and then ask someone to report to the queen mother and the queen mother, I was forced to jump into the water to avoid danger!"

Dong Mingzhu looked up, but sank her body underwater, she obviously didn't have much panic, but her eyebrows were full of hatred and anger.

Chun Gui hurriedly ran back again

, blocking Shu Niangzi to report the scene situation.

Dong Mingzhu has been soaking in the water at this time, but Chungui didn't see the embarrassment at all, and he really admired it in his heart, this is really everyone's beautiful daughter, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

The first to come was not the Queen Mother, but a group of palace people, led by Xiao Gongling, who quickly persuaded the idle and heterosexual to leave the scene, and the dry clothes requested by Miss Dong were also delivered at the same time, and it was only then that she stretched out her hand to Chungui: "There is a lady to help pull me." ”

When he pulled the girl up the embankment, Chungui felt her whole body tremble, but it still seemed that it was not out of fear, but anger.

When he arrived in a room, Chungui took the initiative to change and make up for Miss Dong, and couldn't help but say more: "Thanks to the girl, she can still drink water." ”

"Yes, or I'll die today." Dong Mingzhu frowned coldly.

This made the Dai pen in Chungui's hand fall somehow, and she sighed: "Or...... Don't draw eyebrows? ”

Dong Mingzhu seemed to be shocked at this time, eased her eyebrows, and actually got up and saluted: "There is Lao Niangzi, although I am in danger of being humiliated, but today is the birthday of the Queen Mother. ”

Although there was already a guess in her heart, but when she heard Dong Mingzhu say the words "almost humiliated" in her own mouth, Chun Gui's heart seemed to be injected with lead and smashed straight under the dantian, she almost held her breath to draw two black eyebrows for the girl, and couldn't help but remind her: "After a while, I said slowly what happened, I have been calm like this, and it is easy to cause confusion in my words if my emotions fluctuate too much, the girl was humiliated and frightened, and it is a matter of honor, and the merits should be complained clearly, but ...... Words must be carefully spoken, and must not be manipulated by others. ”

Dong Mingzhu raised her eyes and stared at Chungui for a while, and the resentment in her eyes revealed a little softness, and she bowed slightly: "The grace of the lady to help her today is remembered by Mingzhu." ”

Then she sat down and resumed her silence.

Chungui can also feel the shock of the boudoir woman was almost violated, at this time she was in an undecided mood, she gently pressed Dong Mingzhu's shoulder, and then walked outside the house, just saw Shu Niangzi welcome here, pulled her away from the door curtain, and asked softly: "How is Miss Dong's mood, is it appropriate to deal with it at this time?" ”

"Almost humiliated, anger is inevitable, but I think she's calm."

"You won't cry in front of the Queen Mother, will you?" Shu Niangzi is obviously very worried, today is Niangniang's birthday after all, but if such a thing happens, it can't be reasoned clearly, if Miss Dong is too emotional and choks up tears...... Even if the queen mother won't mind, maybe others will use this handle to reprimand the guilt, and the grievances will be borne by the guilt, according to Miss Dong's temper, Shu Niangzi is worried that she will make more reckless moves.

"The eye circles are not red, and the crying should not be enough, I am worried that even if the theory of this matter is understood, Miss Dong is afraid that it will be difficult to escape slander."

As soon as the queen mother heard the report from the palace people, she knew that it was not appropriate to make a noise, so she found a reason for the queen to come out, and also sent someone to invite Mrs. Yi to be present, and no one else followed. It's just that...... Empress Dowager Zhang was instigated by the county lord of Shouyang, and even came to join in the fun, and the female relatives of the Duke of Cao Guo and the Tao girl also came with the Empress Dowager Zhang. ”

There are already too many idle people, but with Empress Dowager Zhang as the leader, I am afraid that even the king is too good to say anything, and the spring return will be even more helpless, sighing: "Some people are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic." ”

"Other people are here to watch the excitement, and the county lord of Shouyang must have another purpose!" Shu Niangzi asserted.

The reminder of the Spring Return Sutra suddenly remembered the connection between the county lord of Shouyang and this matter.
