Chapter 200: Changing Clothes
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a large-scale Mid-Autumn Festival quiz and flower viewing activity will be held in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace.
"Xishu, the flowers in this imperial garden are so beautiful! Yellow, red, purple, green, delicate, brilliant and dazzling," Princess Mingzhu looked excitedly left and right, holding Chang Xishu with one hand and Tong Lu with the other, "In the palace of our Great Yuan Kingdom, there is no such beautiful garden." ”
Since seeing Tong Lu repairing and bullying the old man on the street two days ago, Princess Mingzhu suddenly had an extremely good impression of Tong Lu.
The relationship, which was not too warm, was instantly drawn into the distance.
"Ah Lu, let me tell you, although the imperial palace of our Great Yuan Kingdom does not have such a beautiful garden, it has a special ......"
Tong Lu rubbed her ears, listened to the words of Princess Balabala, and deeply felt Chang Xishu's helpless mood.
The princess Mingzhu, who is too hospitable, is really likable but can't stand it.
"What's that?" Turning around the verandah, Princess Pearl was curious about the lanterns of different shapes hanging on the branches.
"It's supposed to be a lantern guessing game." Chang Xishu explained in a whisper, "As long as you guess the puzzle hanging under the lantern, you can take the lantern away." ”
"Guessing a riddle?" Princess Mingzhu blinked her eyes wide, "Let's go over and see." ”
The three of them looked along the lantern, and the puzzles were of different difficulty, from the more difficult under the delicate and beautiful lanterns to the easier ones under the ordinary lanterns.
However, the people who come and go are all noble ladies and dependents, and they don't look down on ordinary lanterns.
Almost all of them gathered around the most delicate and beautiful lanterns to guess the riddles.
"Why didn't you see You Yifei after entering the palace?"
Princess Mingzhu couldn't guess after reading a few riddles in a row, and when she saw Chang Xishu and Tong Lu also shaking their heads, she couldn't help but think of You Yifei, "If he is here, maybe he can guess it." ”
At today's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, Tete invited several well-known painters from Daqing to come to the scene to paint, so You Yifei was on the invitation list.
It's just that after entering the palace, he was taken to another place by the eunuch.
It's Princess Mingzhu who has this question.
But Chang Xishu and Tong Lu didn't know where You Yifei went, so they could only shake their heads in response.
Unable to guess the riddle, Princess Mingzhu was quite disappointed, and pointed to the gazebo on the side: "Let's go over there and use some tea, think about it again?" ”
There are a lot of melons and fruits in the pavilion, as well as juice and tea.
The three of them entered the pavilion, found a place to sit down, and immediately a palace maid came up to add new tea.
"Do you know if the crown princess has come to the Imperial Garden?" Tong Lu took the tea and asked the palace maid.
When the palace maid heard this, she thought for a moment and replied: "The slave maid has never seen the crown princess. However, I heard that the Queen Mother was walking from Cining Palace to the Imperial Garden with people, and I didn't know that the crown princess was not among them. ”
Chang Xishu and Tong Lu glanced at each other and motioned for the palace maid to retreat.
The three of them had tea and snacks.
After a while, a palace maid with a tray turned around from the next table and served the three of them colorful juices.
"Miss Tong, the slave maid just saw the princess and concubine in the northwest corner of the imperial garden," the palace maid said with a smile, "It seems that she is looking for Miss Tong and Miss Chang." ”
"Yuan Yuan looking for us?" Tong Lu raised her eyebrows, "Xishu, why don't we meet her in the past?" ”
"Okay!" It was Princess Mingzhu who replied to Tong Lu, and she smiled and said, "I always heard the two of you talk about the crown princess, I didn't talk to her carefully the last time we met, let's go and have a look." ”
Just as the three of them got up and walked out, the palace maid with the juice suddenly stumbled and accidentally hit the juice in the tray into Chang Xishu's body.
Chang Xishu was stunned for a moment, looking at the stains left by the huge piece of juice on the skirt, and his willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"Damn it! Slaves and maids should be damned! ”
The palace maid was so frightened that her legs trembled, and she fell to her knees when she plopped, she took out a handkerchief from her arms and wanted to wipe Chang Xishu's skirt, but she stretched out her hand and retracted it, raised her flustered eyes and asked, "Miss Chang, please forgive the slave maid, can the slave maid take you to the side hall to change your clothes?" ”
Noble ladies usually carry skirts of the same color when they go out, just for fear of encountering embarrassing problems like this.
Chang Xishu thought for a while, and said, "Lead the way." ”
Tong Lu hurriedly said: "Xishu, I'll accompany you." ”
"It's okay," Chang Xishu smiled, "I'll come back to you after changing my clothes." Yuan Yuan is still waiting for us to pass, you two go first. ”
"Okay."
Tong Lu saw Chang Xishu's maidservant following her, thinking that nothing should go wrong in the palace.
Then he asked again which side hall the palace maid would take Chang Xishu to change his clothes, and then went to find Fu Yuanyuan with Princess Mingzhu.
Fu Yuanyuan also took Yinbao to wander around the imperial garden, not far from them, and soon several people met each other.
"Where's the book?" Fu Yuanyuan didn't see Chang Xishu, and pulled Tong Lu to ask.
Tong Lu told the previous thing and said with a smile: "Xishu said that he would come to us after changing his clothes." ”
"You said that the palace maid took the book to Qin'an Hall to change clothes?"
Fu Yuanyuan paused, his eyes puzzled, "The changing room is located in Yanhui Pavilion, how can you wait for Xishu to go to Qin'an Palace?" ”
If she remembers correctly, the most convenient place for the ladies to visit the Imperial Garden is Yanhui Pavilion.
There is a dojo in the Qin'an Palace, which is the place where Emperor Qingyuan usually makes incense and salutes, and he should not go here to change his clothes.
Hearing Fu Yuanyuan's doubts, Tong Luden became nervous.
She recalled: "At that time, we came out to look for you in a hurry, and the palace maid suddenly sprinkled the juice on Xishu's body. Xishu, something should happen, right? ”
Fu Yuanyuan pursed his lips: "Let's go to Qin'an Hall together." ”
Several people quietly left the imperial garden together and walked in the direction of the Qin'an Palace.
The Qin'an Hall is some distance from the place where the flowers are admired, and as I walked, there were fewer and fewer people around.
When he walked to the side hall of Qin'an Palace, he found that there was no one nearby.
It's a little weird.
Fu Yuanyuan motioned for everyone to stop and glanced at Yinbao.
Yinbao received the order, and with a twist, he floated towards the side hall.
Princess Mingzhu was so shocked by Yinbao's skill that her mouth opened wide.
But in an instant, Yinbao frowned and ran back quickly.
"Niangniang, there is a problematic incense burning in the side hall," Yinbao saw that Fu Yuanyuan signaled her to speak bluntly, so he revealed the news of the discovery without concealment, "Miss Chang's maidservant fainted, and there is no one else except her." And two people lay on the bed in the inner room. ”
"Two people?" Fu Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition.
"The slave maid slipped in and looked," Yinbao said, "It's Chang Er and her brother-in-law You Gongzi." ”
The crowd was so frightened that their hearts were pounding: ......
Fu Yuanyuan pondered for a moment: "Yinbao, go and see if someone is walking in the direction of Qin'an Palace?" How far is it? ”
deliberately stunned Chang Xishu and You Yifei, and the next step must be to bring someone over to catch the scene.
Yinbao left in response, and soon came back: "Niangniang, led by the Queen Mother, a large group of people are coming this way." ”
