By the time the princess and the prince finally arrived in the front yard, King Gong, Sun Beiji, and Zhang Shouzhong had been waiting for a long time.

"Why did it take so long to prepare?" King Gong glanced at Zhen and Shizi with some displeasure.

The prince looked away, while Zhen smiled and lowered his head slightly, "Lord Wang, women are not going out of the house than you men, so you have to wait a little longer, and Lord Wang may not know it for the first time today?" ”

The princess's words made King Gong sigh, and he shook his head with a smile, with a slight helplessness on his face.

“…… Yes," King Gong looked at Zhen, with a bit of anger in his eyes, and he stretched out his arm towards Zhen, "As long as it's you, this king can wait for as long as he wants." ”

Everyone laughed.

From the palace to the southeast lake shore of Jian'an Lake, it takes about half an hour to walk, whether it is the princes and nobles or the feudal officials, everyone is not allowed to ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, and must walk over.

This can be regarded as a humble gesture to the emperor, because Emperor Jianxi himself walked over This is the advice that Zhang Shenxian of Xianling Yuan once gave him, saying that the immortals should move around more, and there is divine power in the loess. So in the evening, the mighty procession set off from the south gate of the palace, the officers and soldiers on the way were under martial law, the streets were empty, Emperor Jianxi was solemn in front, and a group of concubines followed, except for Qu Guifei, she had arrived at Yaotai in a light sedan car at this time, which was a special arrangement of Emperor Jianxi.

When Emperor Jianxi's team was almost over, the ministers and princes set off from their homes one after another. In the process of marching, everyone is very concerned about whether the hem of their clothes looks smooth or not, if there are folds, then when they see Anhu Lake and salute Emperor Jianxi in turn, it is inevitable that they will be misunderstood whether they came by a sedan chair or a horse.

As the night deepens, the lakeside becomes more and more crowded.

Ordinary people are in the outermost part, and the hawkers near Chaotian Street have also moved their shops here these nights, and the shouts of the hawkers and the cheers of guessing the lantern riddles are mixed together, and it is very lively.

But the officials and nobles were not in the mood to pay attention to this, and they sailed all the way to Penglai Island in the middle of the lake, where Yaotai was.

From sunset to nightfall, Emperor Jianxi sat alone on Yaotai to accept worship. During this period of time, he himself felt bored, so he hid two white jade walnuts in his sleeves and used his wide sleeves to cover the tricks.

Everyone saluted and sat down in turn, and then the mountain called to worship, fireworks were lit not far away, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from the lake, which whitewashed this night like a fairyland.

The princes and ministers sat neatly on the long stone tables on both sides of the yaotai with their sons and daughters, which were filled with jade plates and delicacies, but none of them moved chopsticks or raised glasses. Everyone looked at the emperor from afar, and although those who sat far away couldn't hear what Emperor Jianxi said at all, they also had to pay attention to the movements around them at any time, and the people in front of them laughed, and they also had to stroke their palms and laugh and get up and kowtow in front of them, so they did the same.

The prince couldn't listen to Emperor Jianxi's set, although he and his father and mother stood on the side that was almost closest to Yaotai, but the prince had a solemn face, and his mind had already flown out of the clouds.

It wasn't until the jade chime in Qiu Shi's hand rang three times, and Emperor Jianxi brushed his sleeves and headed towards the cruise ship by the water, that everyone began to scatter.

Most of the courtiers followed Emperor Jianxi to take a boat ride on the lake, while a small number of young people, such as Shizi and his friends, silently sneaked into the shadows of nearby trees to delay so that they could move freely for a while.

"Mother, I want to ......"

Shizi looked at Zhen, but Zhen made a silent gesture to him and said in a low voice, "Go ahead." ”

With a bright smile on his face, he slipped away towards the nearby path, until he passed by an intersection with a rockery, and suddenly heard someone shouting nearby, "Yicong! Here! ”

Shizi looked up and saw three familiar heads emerging from the rockery at hand

Zeng Jiuyan, the youngest marquis of the Dingbian Hou family, Li Fengyu, the young lord of the Anding Bo family, and Zhang Jingzhen, the eldest son of Master Zhang, were all lying there waving to him.

Several people looked at him, and seeing that the prince was alone, Zeng Jiuyan asked, "What about Hu Luren?" ”

"He has something at home, and he can't come today." Shizi approached and replied, "I'm alone." ”

Several teenagers jumped directly from the rockery, Zeng Jiuyan patted the ash on his hands, and sighed, "It's a pity, I originally wanted to avenge Hu Lu in person...... Now I can only wait for you to go back and tell him in the evening. ”

“…… No need. Shizi looked away, "Hu Lu may not want to see you go to make things difficult for an innocent medicine in the palace because of him." ”

"How is she innocent?" Zeng Jiuyan frowned, and immediately said, "If it weren't for her sudden entry into the palace, would something happen to the Hu family?" I've been listening to my dad talk about this matter openly and secretly for the past few days, this demon girl may be the scourge assigned somewhere, let's not teach her a lesson, how can Hu Lu's breath be swallowed! ”

"I just think it......" Shizi said thoughtfully.

"What's the matter with you," Zeng Jiuyan glared at him, "Aren't you the most energetic when we discussed countermeasures together at the beginning of the month?" ”

Shizi looked at the burning eyes of several people in front of him, and understood that he probably couldn't persuade him.

He thought for a moment and whispered, "Okay, what are you going to do?" ”

"Simple." Zeng Jiuyan said confidently, "I have figured it out, she didn't come with the concubine tonight, it was almost the time of the unitary, and the talent went to the back of Yaotai along the plum blossom embankment, and several palace maids in the Chengqian Palace were waiting for her there, and they should be going to change clothes." ”

Several teenagers around exclaimed, "You know ...... this?" ”

"Joke, this Anhu is supervised by my father, can't I be the master of where to put someone?" Zeng Jiuyan had a smug look on his face, and he continued, "The plum blossom embankment will be banned as soon as it passes, and if she wants to leave Yaotai, then she must go to the road where we are now." ”

"And then?"

"Then we don't have to go anywhere, we'll stay here for a while, and when the people come, we'll wrap our scarves and throw her straight into the lake." Zeng Jiuyan stretched out his hand and gestured, with a lot of pride in his movements, "Doesn't she love to take a bath?" Let's let her wash well in this Jian'an Lake! ”

Shizi looked at the dark lake nearby, "This ...... It's not going to kill anyone, is it? ”

"No, I deliberately explored, the water here is very shallow......" Zeng Jiuyan waved his hand, and then looked at Shizi with a little dissatisfaction, "What's the matter with you tonight, can you do it?" She is at a girl's house at night, and she can't accidentally fall into the water when she walks at night? ”

Shizi raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender, "You go on, I'll listen." ”

Zhang Jingzhen suddenly seemed to remember something, "What does this medicine look like?" ”。
