Tao Guifei, who was sitting upright, was very majestic, with red lips and Zhu Tian, a modest and gentle demeanor, wearing a navy blue brocade dress, the skirt was soft and smooth, and fell to the ground. The garment looks quite textured, and the ornamentation on it is an auspicious cloud woven of gold thread, mixed with a small lotus flower pattern in the middle, which is dazzling in the light.

Tao Xu'er sat on the right side of Tao Guifei, very well-behaved, bowed her head and took out an orange from the jade plate, peeled it clean and handed it to Tao Guifei with a smile. Tao Guifei nodded with a smile of relief, glanced at her, and then took the orange very naturally.

I took a sip of calamus wine boredly, ate the tea fruit in front of me leisurely, Anping handed over mulberries and cherries, I looked at it, and it didn't move.

Tao Guifei looked around and suddenly asked, "What about the other girls, why don't you see Gui and Ankang."

Ankang's mother, Shen, was quite frightened, and stood up and replied: "Thank you for your attention." The little girl was so healthy and stubborn that she was afraid that she would disturb the nobles' festival Yaxing, so she only left her in the house and did not let her accompany her. Tao Guifei smiled lightly: "Where is this,

Ankang, that kid I look the most gentle and lovely, how can it be like what you said. Jiao Niang, you won't be worried that Ankang will be born too well, and that your baby daughter will be remembered. ”

Shen's blessing body, the corners of his mouth rose: "Niangniang said that she laughed."

Tao Guifei raised her eyebrows slightly, bowed her head slightly, and tacitly agreed, and suddenly turned her head to ask Princess Yong: "Mang'er, why don't you see her."

Mang'er is Yu Gui's nickname, I don't know if it's awkward, so it's not commonly used, only the elders will call her like this when they greet her.

Princess Yong turned to her, and immediately lowered her eyebrows and replied softly: "Guifei Niangniang, you also know that Mang'er is a girl who can't sit still, and the concubine doesn't know where she went." ”

Princess Yong's words are true, not adulterated at all, she really doesn't know where she has gone.

Tao Guifei's eyes flashed, her slender white and tender fingers lightly tapped the back of Tao Gui'er's hand, and said with a sneer: "Don't you go to the prince again."

Princess Yong looked ashamed, and she didn't answer no, she didn't answer.

It was quiet all around, and only the sound of pottery was heard.

"My aunt always taught Su'er, saying that women should be reserved, especially daughters who have not left the cabinet, and they must learn to respect and love themselves. Gestures, standing, sitting and lying down, you have to grasp it properly, and you must not lose your posture and make people look down on it. However, Su'er always felt that this was too restrictive, and she was envious of the county lord. It is the most rare thing to have such a kind of initiative as Allah as the county lord and to do whatever he wants. ”

I know she has a humble idea to come out again.

Sure enough, the good words were finished, and then the nonsense followed.

"But princess, you should still be the lord of the county. No matter how lively and cheerful you are, you can't ignore the occasion and the time. Falling in front of everyone's eyes like this recklessly like today is really a loss of a woman's posture. After all, she is also a noble daughter of the clan, so it is better to pay more attention to everything. ”

Tao Xu'er is really not me to slander her, she is used to picking thorns, always taking sarcasm and sarcasm as fun, and she wants to be in the limelight in everything.

Take it now, who will treat her as a dumb person if she doesn't speak?

Obviously, I can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, I like Baili and I don't dare to say or act, I still like to criticize others, and it's really annoying to have something to say.

The hall was as quiet as fog, and everyone had their own thoughts, watching the play, laughing and laughing, in fact, they were all pricking up their ears to listen to the movement.

I looked at Tao Xu'er and was complacent, it was really annoying, relying on someone to support her, she was so bullying. I glared at her, and was about to say a few words on behalf of Yu Gui, but I taught Anping to stop.

Anping took my hand tightly, and I turned my head to look at her, and she shook her head at me.

I paused, and I had no choice but to give up.

I know that Anping has good intentions, and she doesn't want me to cause trouble. Although I can't calm down, I can also clear the situation, as a foreign proton, I am a soft-spoken person on other people's territory. If you speak rashly, not only will you not be able to help Yu Gui, but you will find trouble for yourself and her.

I hate such occasions.

……

"Shut up, Yu Gui is also the county lord who can be judged. I think I'm too indulgent of you, so you don't know how thick the sky is. ”

Tao Guifei pretended to glare at Tao Xu'er, there was no blame on her face, and when she turned her head, she still smiled lightly: "Don't be surprised, princess, although this girl speaks straightly, she sincerely thinks about Mang'er." You ......"

"Concubine Niangniang-"

Princess Yong suddenly spoke, her tone awe-inspiring. Concubine Tao looked at her in a daze, still not daring to believe that her speech would be interrupted, and that person was still Princess Yong, who seemed to be submissive.

Anping has a cherry Fan Sukou, as if the surrounding things have nothing to do with her, the sound of wind and rain is noisy, and the sound is cut off.

I glanced at Princess Yong, and saw that her expression was calm and gentle, and her mood returned to normal. She smiled, spoke softly, and said slowly: "My Mang'er's temperament is indeed lively. She's still young, and there's inevitably something wrong with doing things, but that's fine. Her father and I are such an only daughter as her, and it is okay to pamper her on weekdays. Even if she makes a joke, it's time for me, my mother, to teach me, and I can't tolerate anyone else's beak. ”

When the words fell, the whole hall was shocked, even Concubine Tao Guifei didn't expect that the demure and gentle Princess Yong, who spoke softly, could also speak with thorns. His face was blue and white, and it was ugly.

I secretly gave a thumbs up and praised from the bottom of my heart: Yu Gui A-Niang, you are very good.

Zhang Meiren has always loved to compete with Concubine Tao, and when she saw Princess Yong choking her with words, she was so happy that she almost laughed out loud, and she echoed Princess Yong very much. Covering his mouth and snickering, he said solemnly: "The lord of Yugui is the only daughter of King Yong, and she is the future crown princess, and her status is noble, but not everyone is qualified to talk about it." The concubine is also clear when she thinks about it, but if she cares, she will be chaotic, so she will make a mistake and act on behalf of her, so don't take it to heart. ”

Princess Yong smiled and did not say anything.

Tsk, it's really a war without gunpowder. is also a woman, why bother.

I knelt on the soft mat for a long time, and my legs and feet couldn't help but feel a little numb. I just wanted to move my seat and change to a comfortable position to relax, but I heard an unusual noise from outside. I stopped my movements, and carefully distinguished, this movement can be divided into several parts, there is the noise of many people in the distance, there are also the footsteps outside the hall, and I can vaguely hear a few loud roars, as if telling the guards to do something.

There was a crowd outside, and Tao Guifei's jade face changed suddenly, and she shouted loudly: "What happened outside, it was so noisy."

Immediately, a small yellow door hurriedly came from outside the door, knelt on the ground and hurriedly reported: "Guifei Niangniang, it is Likun Pavilion that has gone to water."

Flow? What is Walking Water?

I was still in a daze, but An Ping next to me was suddenly alert, and stood up suddenly, looking very panicked. Several noble ladies in the hall also stood up one after another and looked at Tao Guifei in horror.

"Mother, how is this good."

Tao Guifei was also surprised: "How can you go to the water, is the fire big?"

I finally understood that walking in the water was a fire. If you don't say that the Han people are particular about using words, the literal meaning has to be understood by people in reverse. If there is a fire, there will be a fire, why do you want to talk about walking the water, so that I thought it was the collapse of the embankment, and I was scared into a cold sweat.

I smoothed my chest, let out a long sigh of relief, a false alarm, a false alarm.

Hey! No, it's on fire, where is it on fire? Likun Pavilion, isn't that Changji where?

My first reaction when I came back to my senses was this.

I got up quickly, took advantage of the turmoil, and went straight to the attic door, opened it slightly, and looked out.

The direction of Likun Pavilion was indeed a firelight shaking, and I faintly heard the shouting, but because it was far away, I didn't hear it clearly.

At this time, a Likun Pavilion attendant galloped over and shouted all the way: "Assassins have infiltrated the palace and set fire to the murder." His Majesty has ordered that everyone should not go out of the pavilion, and the eunuchs in the pavilion shall not open the door of the pavilion without permission. ”

"What about Your Majesty, where is Your Majesty?"

"Back to the noble concubine, Your Majesty has been escorted to a safe place by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Yonghe. The cause of the fire was the remnants of the former prince mixed into the Qionglin Garden, and the fire was set by the assassins. Although the fire is large at present, it does not endanger Chu Huan Palace. Jin Wuwei received the news and will come soon, so the nobles don't have to worry. ”

Sure enough, the robbery has to take advantage of the fire, and the gangsters are brave.

These assassins are really, you have the ability to carry out the assassination, and if you have the ability, don't set fire, you have to destroy the property.

I closed the door tightly, and when I looked back, Anping was already pale and wanted to break the door out, but Tao Guifei scolded me and ordered someone to stop her. Immediately, Princess Yong calmly ordered a few small yellow doors in the palace to close the door of Chu Huan's palace.

My heart jumped suddenly, for some reason, I would be so panicked and scared, and I wanted to go to Likun Pavilion with all my heart, although it was useless for me to go, but I still couldn't control my pace.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking, I went around the apse and went straight out the door.

As soon as he arrived in the garden, he bumped into a team of Jin Wuwei, led by Wu Pingjiao. He didn't see me, he just ran towards Likun Pavilion quickly, and I immediately followed and stopped in front of him: "General Wu, have you ever seen Changji?" ”

Wu Pingjiao hurriedly retreated, and saw that it was me by the light, and was obviously surprised: "Princess Missing, why are you here." It's not safe outside, why don't you stay in Chu Huan's palace. ”

I looked solemn and didn't stop, just replied simply: "I'm worried about the situation outside, so I came out to have a look." ”

Wu Pingjiao's voice was hoarse: "Now there are assassins everywhere outside, and it is extremely unsafe. Someone is coming, escort the princess back to Chu Huan Palace. ”

"No, I'm going to go with you." I flatly refused and was resolute.

He had to take care of himself, so naturally he didn't have time to talk to me, so he hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that he couldn't say anything about me, he had to let me go.

"Then please follow the princess closely with her subordinates, and don't get lost."

I nodded hurriedly and hurried to follow.

There was a sharp whistle in the night, and the palace attendants ran around all corners of Qionglin Garden, and the courtyard was terrible. There were several corpses lying on the small scripture, some of them were assassins and some of the Yulin Army, and the blood stains in the big pool below them emitted a rust-like fishy smell.

I looked at the blood, and my legs and feet were a little weak.

I don't know what the situation is in the Likun Pavilion, and whether Changji is okay.

Mars is so high that half of the pavilion has been burned off. At this time, the fire was soaring, and the burning sensation came to the face.

"How could there be assassins, where did everyone else go?"

Wu Pingjiao didn't have time to reply to me, his steps were so fast that I couldn't keep up.

I followed Wu Pingjiao into the East Garden, and bypassed a lake to the Likun Pavilion. My heart was beating wildly and wildly, and when I entered the inner sanctum, there were corpses lying on the ground, all of them strong men in black.

The crows chirping on the top of the mulberry tree, the dog barking in the deep palace, the strange atmosphere makes people shudder.

The vermilion lacquer door, which was nearly half a foot thick, slowly shook open, with a creak of seeping gold and iron. I looked down the bluestone steps, and the flower beds were covered with mottled bloodstains, and even though the dead bodies and stumps had been cleaned up, they were still thick purple and smelly.

Nandi and the others have moved elsewhere, and the rest of them are the palace people and guards who put out the fire.

Through the crowd, I saw Changji.

His face was grim, murderous, and half of his face was submerged in the dim twilight.

Thankfully, he was unharmed.
