In the house of the prince of Pingxi.

Wu Yue looked at the post sent by the little maid, opened the red plum blossom note, and a refreshing plum fragrance permeated the room, on which the hairpin flower was written: Pan Jun came to Yihong Courtyard to enjoy the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" at the end of the day, and Bai Lu greeted him.

Wu Yue sighed and said, "Eh, I can't go today." You replied to them. ”

"Yes." The little guy retreated.

Chongde Houfuzhong.

Wu Yue, Song Chu, and Xuan Dong sat in the pavilion around the charcoal flint pot boiling mutton soup. In the courtyard, the plum blossom looms in the Taihu Lake stones, and the little tender yellow exudes a leisurely dark fragrance in all kinds of gray. It coincides with the winter rain, and the mist of sulfur and water has not yet dissipated, as if you are in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is like a picturesque fairyland.

Wu Yue praised: "The delicacies and beautiful scenery, His Royal Highness King Tuoliang and Zichu can only enjoy it, I respect you."

The three of them took the wine cup and drank it all.

"This wine is very clear, this taste is like the first snow wine of Fan Lou! Ziyue, there is really you. Song Chu said with a smile.

"Fan Lou's first snow wine has long been snatched up. I also like to make tea in the snow on weekdays, so I might as well try sake brewing. Wu Yue said humbly, and then added wine to Xuan Dong and Song Chu.

"Your Highness, why don't you call the King of Leshui County with you?" Song Chu asked.

"My second brother is sick. I was so heavy these two days that I didn't want to get up. Xuan Dong said.

"At the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet, I saw that he was quite strong. Good end, what's wrong? Song Chu asked.

"It's just that the water and soil are not adapted. The second brother grew up in Jiangnan since he was a child, and this is the first time he has returned to the north. Xuan Dong said with a smile.

Wu Yue took a piece of fat sheep in the pot and ate it in his mouth, and said: "During the Shangyuan Festival, the Queen Mother invited the official lady in Beijing to enjoy the plum in the palace. This formation seems to be about to choose a concubine. Why haven't you heard of the marriage of your two little princes now? ”

"After the king of the daring county went to the plum blossom banquet of the queen mother, he was unhappy. Isn't it a lovesickness!" Song Chu said with a smile.

Wu Yue also laughed: "I have a bear's paw, but I can make up for it if I don't adapt to the water and soil, but if it's lovesickness, it won't work." ”

"Hey, two old brothers, he's not here, you guys laugh hard! Ha ha! Xuan Dong also smiled: "Brother Wu Wang, this meat is not bad, right?" But it cost the old price! ”

"Not bad, not bad. It's delicious, indeed. Wu Yue praised.

"I haven't eaten for a long time." Song Chu said, soaked a piece of meat, dipped it in sesame sauce, and chewed it in his mouth, and sure enough, his lips and teeth were fragrant.

"If you eat the meat of Your Highness, you can't eat it in vain. Let's write a poem! Wu Yue said.

Song Chu shook another slice of meat and said slowly: "Although Qiang Huan has wine, he can't drink coldly. Long cuisine has bear wax, Qin cooks only lamb soup. ”

"Eh, cousin! This can't be done, how can you fool me with Suzi's poems! Xuan Dong said.

"The yokan is so delicious, I can't describe it. Now I only think of Mr. Dongpo's "The Second Rhyme is Sent by the Dividing Sun": "Song Chudao."

"Here, let's have another drink. I wish Zichu the title of this year's gold list. Wu Yue raised his glass.

"Come!"

"Please!"

Drinks for three.

That night, Xuan Dong carried the drunken Wu Yue on his shoulder, and knocked on the door of the Shizi Mansion with difficulty, "Someone! Someone's coming! ”

I only heard a sparse sound, and after a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came out, quickly picked up Wu Yue, who was crumbling in Xuan Dong's hands, and said, "Shizi, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay...... command...... Order...... Enjoin...... Kitchen...... Set up the wine, I will drink all night with His Royal Highness! Now...... Today...... Joyfully! After that, Wu Yue's stomach turned over and vomited.

"Another day! Brother Wu Wang, let's drink again another day. Xuan Qi stroked his back and patted him gently.

"Temple...... Uh......" Wu Yue didn't finish speaking, and spit on the ground again.

"Your Highness, do you want to rest in the mansion too?" The housekeeper asked.

"I'm fine." After saying that, Xuan Dong jumped into the carriage and galloped away.

Bao Zhuo, the housekeeper of the Shizi Mansion, carried Wu Yue on his shoulder, and when he staggered to the inner courtyard, he suddenly rushed to his shoulder for a while, and when he looked to the right, it was Wu Yue who stood up by himself, he rubbed his blood-red eyes, and spoke clearly: "Take out the floating light brocade, and I will go to visit the elder lord of Roujia tomorrow and bring it." And you personally sent a bear paw to the Liang Wangfu. ”

"Shizi, you're not drunk?" Bao Zhuo said in surprise.

"Naturally, no. The amount of alcohol that our people in Shu drink, which is comparable to these sons!" Wu Yue disagreed.

"Son, the eagle of the Mongolian Great Khan is here again, I hope we can quickly grasp the travel plan of the special envoy of the country." Bao Zhuo pointed to the green-eyed falcon in the yard, his brow furrowed.

"Qiu Tie didn't go, the person who went was the king of Leshui County." After Wu Yue finished speaking, he threw a piece of jerky to the eagle falcon. The falcon has excellent night vision, and catches the jerky in one bite.

"Our King of Leshui County is a filial son who values love and righteousness, so only the concubine knows his whereabouts."

"Can the concubine tell us?" Bao Zhuo couldn't help but wonder.

"It's not that she won't tell us, it's that I don't want to know!" After saying that, Wu Yue smiled confidently and walked into the bedroom by himself.

Inside the Jianzhang Palace

Concubine Shu looked at the flowery Roujia eldest lord, her falling ponytail with a set of silver gilt begonia flowers, and wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress. The dress style is mediocre, but this fabric is really rare.

"Your dress is really chic." The concubine said gently.

Lord Roujia smiled proudly, stroked the clothes on his body, and said: "Sister-in-law, this is floating brocade, it is the latest style of Shu brocade, which can fold out colorful luster. It is one color when you look close, one color when you look at it from afar, one color when you look left, one color when you look right, one color when you look towards the sun, and one color when you look at the yin. ”

The concubine smiled and said, "It's really strange." This floating brocade is really extraordinary, flowing clouds and water, as bright as the dawn. When you walk, it's like the clouds on the horizon. “

The eldest lord of Roujia looked at Concubine Shu in an ink azure palace dress, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Sister-in-law Shu should dress up herself well in the future, don't be too plain, what you know is that you are thrifty, you don't know, you think it's the royal family's poor acid." ”

"I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I do not appear in front of my subjects. It's you, but you have to dress up better, so that the world will know that Your Majesty has an aunt as beautiful as you. "Concubine Shu is still kind and kind, without the slightest displeasure.

"Eh, I entered the palace today to greet the Queen Mother. I don't want her to be tired today, and I haven't seen her. It's really a shame to disturb my sister-in-law today. ”

"It's not early, so I won't keep you." The concubine said slowly.

When the elder lord of Roujia walked out of the Jianzhang Palace, the floating brocade on her body became the focus of all the palace people. No one has ever seen such a novel fabric, and everyone is envious.

"The Queen Mother doesn't want to see her, let her come to us to be majestic, what do you want to see her...... Niangniang" Dye Dong said hatefully.

Concubine Shu took a sip of tea and smiled: "You're all old, what are you doing with this kind of anger?" She's always been like that. If you don't ask her to wear it to show off, do you want her to suffocate at home? ”

"Niangniang, next time she comes, the slave maid will give you a good make-up, and wear a dress that is more valuable and beautiful than the floating brocade." Dye Winter Road.

Concubine Shu waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't, don't." I don't want to be an old goblin yet. ”

"Niangniang, your hairpin has been repaired." Dye Dong took out a beautiful lacquer box from the tray held by the palace man beside him and put it on the case in the hand of Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu opened the lacquer box, and inside was a dotted emerald gilt hairpin with a hibiscus flower, with a light golden light, elegant and gentle.

"It's a good repair." Concubine Shu approvingly: "This is the hairpin that Miss Tang broke at the plum blossom banquet." Wait for Aqi to come back and give it to him. You put it away first. ”

"But Miss Tang has already rejected the county king." Dye Dong said regretfully.

"I see that Aqi really likes her, and I naturally want to help him as a mother. Although Miss Tang is arrogant, she is indeed a good girl who does not seek fame and fortune. Concubine Shu said.

Dye Dong smiled: "The concubine is clever. Now Miss Tang always has to thank our county king. This back and forth......"

"Dye Dong, let's see through it and don't say it." The concubine also smiled.

Dye Dong took the lacquer box, carefully placed it in the makeup box of Concubine Shu, and said: "The slave maid is placed here, you should hand it over to the county king in person." ”

"Huh? Why is there only a wooden box left in your jasper bracelet? Dye Dong said as he rummaged.

"I don't know where I got it. Don't worry, you'll find it out in a few days. The concubine said gently, then turned around and sat on the desk, put down and closed the lacquer box, picked up the snow-white fox skin, and sewed it carefully.

"No, why are your Dongzhu earrings missing? The slave maid obviously put it here...... "Dye Dong continued to rummage......

"Mother, will there be a thief? You don't usually like to wear these gold, jade, is someone thief! "Dye Winter Road.

As soon as these words came out, the concubine was excited, quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, turned out a sachet from the makeup box, carefully checked the knotted rope, and felt a little at ease, fortunately it was worthless, and no one would care.

However, she changed her usual kindness and said, "This matter must be investigated carefully." ”

"Niangniang, if you get used to those minions anymore, they will be bullied to the master!" Dye Dong said excitedly.

In the Xinuan Pavilion of Jianzhang Palace, Dye Dong checked the cages of the palace maids one by one, but there was a dingdong, like gold and jade crisp, a pair of jade bracelets fell to the ground, and a palace person was startled, and said again and again: "Auntie, I didn't steal, I didn't, I don't know why I ...... in my cage."

Dye Dong said unceremoniously: "Pull it out!"

Another palace man was found in the box with a pair of Dongzhu earrings.

"These two men have a hundred rods! Steal the property of the palace, a hundred rods! And those who don't have clean hands and feet, if I find out, they will end up like them! ”

A hundred rods are enough to kill a man. The two thieves shouted for mercy, but they ignored it, and only waved their hands to drag people out of the hall, and the people in the palace were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.

On the second day, a little palace maid carried a makeup box and stopped the yellow door pulling the wheelbarrow. The Huang Men at the head asked, "Little nobleman, what's the matter?"

"I want to freshen her up......" said the little maid.

"This is the palace man who was executed for stealing. How can you sympathize with her?" Huang Men was puzzled.

"Sister Ah Yue won't steal!" Green said angrily. As the wheelbarrow rose and fell, a bloodless white hand fell from the straw mat.

Huang Men couldn't help but shudder. Then he put down the stretcher, looked around, and said timidly: "Little nobleman, you have to hurry, otherwise I will be punished......!"

The people of Xiaogong couldn't help but feel sad from their hearts, and they cried out: "Sister Ah Yue, I will definitely find out the person who harmed you!" After that, she wiped the blood from her face with a handkerchief, then took some rouge to smooth out her face, and took a pink velvet flower from her head and put it on her black hair.

After the event, the little palace maid was like a blessing in the yellow door and said, "I have been taken care of by her a lot in the past. Now I just want her to walk decently. Thank you for helping me. ”

Huang Men thought about the hand that slipped from the straw mat, and couldn't help but be frightened. The little palace maid who was wearing the pear blossoms and the rain comforted: "I hope that you Sister Ayue will be reincarnated as a good family in the future......"

Then, Huang Men continued to wrap the body in a straw mat and pulled the wheelbarrow away. The little palace maid looked at the wheelbarrow in the distance and burst into tears. I'm sorry, Sister Ayue.
