Chapter 176: The Queen's Birthday Banquet (3)

On Shen Wan's birthday, the palace and the capital were very lively. It is said that the East Market will have a carnival all night, and the banquet in the palace will also be held until the second watch.

The Chonghua Hall is as warm as spring and bright as day.

The concubines and the prince were in the inner hall, and the foreign ministers and foreign wives were in the outer hall to enjoy the unprecedented queen's birthday banquet.

During this period, there is not only the music of the court musicians, the beautiful dances of the dancers, but also the ingenious folk juggling, and even the illusion performance. The women who have lived in the deep palace for a long time have never seen these new things, and the second watch will arrive soon, but everyone seems to be still unsatisfied.

Shen Wan said with great interest: "That illusion is a bit interesting, it's better to let people stay in the palace, and you can watch and play when you're bored." ”

Chu Xichen smiled gently: "It's nothing to do." As he spoke, he asked Xiaoshizi to arrange it.

Shen Wan yawned, owed herself, and left the table first.

Chun'er followed her with great interest and asked, "Niangniang, is it true that you swallowed a knife and spit fire?" And the nine rings, how did you solve it? And that face-changing, why are you talking about it so fast? ”

Shen Wan just concentrated on watching the show, and when she relaxed at this time, she only felt tired, so she said lazily: "If you want to know, Ming'er will send you to be an apprentice, and you can come back to make me bored." ”

Everyone laughed, and talked about the gifts that everyone prepared for the queen, and the gifts were sent one after another during the day, and Shen Wan didn't check it properly, just waited for tomorrow to look at it and prepare to return the gift.

It was about to talk hotly, the snow on the road was still there, Shen Wan accidentally slipped forward with a "swish" under her feet, and the whole person's body fell backwards, everyone was surprised to help, who knew that Chun'er touched the lantern again, and knocked down the fragrant tea next to her in a hurry, seeing that Shen Wan was about to fall hard, Shen Wan did not feel pain, but fell softly in a familiar arm bend.

"Why haven't you grown in the past two years? Or is it light? Hearing the ridiculous tone, Shen Wan suddenly realized that she had been rescued by King Qing.

When they first met, she was also so embarrassed, when he smiled and said, "Why are you so light? ”

There was a sudden trance in his mind, King Qing's smiling face was close at hand, looking at Shen Wan's stunned face, and said with a smile: "Is the queen reluctant to get up?" ”

Shen Wan stood up violently, took two steps back, restrained her expression, and asked, "Why is the prince here?" ”

King Qing shook the wine jug in his hand and said with a smile: "Drink too much, come out for a walk, the queen should be careful when walking, not every time you fall, someone will help you." ”

Shen Wan's face changed slightly, and then said: "What the prince said is that this palace is indeed not so lucky, and every time you fall, someone will help you. I really can't help it, the wind and snow are too big, the road is slippery, even if I fall and no one helps me, I will get up on my own! There is still a long way to go, so the palace will not accompany the prince to gossip and say goodbye. Oh, by the way, the prince should go back and rest earlier, at this time the banquet is over, and there will be a curfew soon, this is the inner palace after all, if someone collides with the prince, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

After speaking, she left without looking back, leaving the king of Qing alone in the night. After a long time, King Qing suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head, and left with his hands behind his back.

As soon as Shen Wan left, she knew in her heart that King Qing disdained her, and although she didn't want him to misunderstand herself, she had no way to explain it.

Just walked a few steps, I saw that Huazhi also walked from another way, Huazhi saw Shen Wan, his eyes lit up, and after saluting, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, the concubine saw the female dependents in the palace and a man messing around......

Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" ”

The way of painting: "Don't hide it from Niangniang, what the concubine just saw was Yao Ronghua, she took a man back to Xianfu Palace!" ”

Shen Wan's eyes were dark, and she asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Huazhi nodded, approached Shen Wan's side, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, what the concubine said is true, if the concubine wants to catch the thief and scratch the dirty, you might as well poke the concubine to Xianfu Palace to see what is going on, how about it?" ”

Shen Wan smiled and said, "This kind of defilement of the palace, this palace naturally has to personally verify it!" ”

Without waiting for the palace people to report, Huazhi took the lead in stepping into the palace gate, and said as he walked: "The queen arrived, why didn't you see Sister Ronghua go out to greet her?" She walked to the door of the hall very quickly, stretched out her hand to open the curtain, and waited for Shen Wan to enter, and the two saw the man next to Yao Ronghua together.

Shen Wan was there at that time, because this man was no one else, but a cousin!

Huazhi hated Yao Ronghua and was anxious to get rid of her, and he didn't care who this man was. Immediately, he said: "Sister Ronghua, why is it so late, is the Supreme Master here studying Buddhism with Sister Ronghua?" ”

These words blocked Yao Ronghua's mouth, but she was only panicked for a moment, quickly regained her composure, glanced at Shen Wan, and said: "The concubine didn't know that the queen mother had arrived, and she was disappointed, and she deserved death." However, even if a concubine studies Buddhism with a master, what is so strange? ”

Huazhi put away his smiling face and said, "If you really participate in the study of Buddhism, not to mention that it is getting late, there will be a curfew soon." Let's just say that Sister Ronghua why did she drive everyone in the palace outside? When we just came in, there were only two people in it, Sister Ronghua and Master Zhishan! Although the Supreme Master is a monk, after all, he is a lonely man and a widow......"

Yao Ronghua's face changed suddenly, and he said loudly: "What do you mean by this, concubine?" You also said that the Supreme Master is a monk, don't insult the purity of Buddhism! ”

The painting was about to refute, but he heard Shen Wan say coldly: "Shut up to the palace!" ”

Shen Wan didn't look at Yao Ronghua or the painting, she only looked at Zhishan and said: "Although the master is an outsider, he is helplessly involved in tonight's accident." I don't know how the master explained? ”

Zhishan sighed and said: "The monk is just passing by the palace gate, Yao Ronghua has had a few encounters with the monk in Yuhua Temple, so he is invited to come in for a cup of tea." ”

Shen Wan looked at him deeply, his face was calm, his eyes drooped, and he kept counting the rosary in his hand. Shen Wan said in a deep voice: "Since the master said so, then the palace ......"

Huazhi suddenly tugged at her sleeve and said in her ear: "Niangniang, this is the best chance to get rid of Yao Ronghua!" If you miss this opportunity, you won't have such a good opportunity next time! Niangniang thinks about Sister Xianya, and thinks about those who were killed by Yao Ronghua! Mother must not be soft-hearted! ”

Shen Wan closed her eyes fiercely, opened them suddenly, and said, "This palace believes in the words of the supreme master, and this palace believes that you are just coming in for a cup of tea!" Okay, that's the end of tonight's business, in order to keep the harem clean, no one is allowed to say a word to the outside world! Otherwise, this palace will never be spared! Get out of here, all of you! ”

The painting was so full that he had to go out, and the best was gone. Yao Ronghua knelt down in front of Shen Wan, and Shen Wan said coldly: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want my cousin to have something, you have to know that in today's situation, anyone who sees it will have a reason to take you down the evidence of the crime of filthy palace!" ”

Yao Ronghua bowed his head: "Yes, the concubine is guilty." ”
