+++++++++++++++++++ Banquet (VII) (Middle) dividing line

Chen Biyan was a little surprised by the arrival of Princess Pingnan, who had been operating in the palace for many years in the past, and was able to navigate between the former emperor and her sister Chen Bihua, who were both opposing and helpful, and the princess who was liked by both parties was by no means a simple character. After this autumn hunting incident, at a confusing moment when the situation in the palace was confusing, she made a special detour to visit Tangzhuang, which will inevitably attract the attention of all parties. The Tang family has always been low-key, neither in the military nor in daily business, nor does it have special dealings with the princes of the court, and will not deliberately win over or alienate anyone because of the queen mother or the prince. Princess Pingnan returned to the south this time, and did not hesitate to make a three-day detour to Tangzhuang in the cold season when it was not easy to travel, and it was difficult to attract attention. Chen Biyan sighed lightly, the peaceful days were coming to an end, although she had already started to prepare, but when it really came, her mood was still quite heavy.

Today's banquets are already complicated, so it's even more complicated. She had to cheer up her spirits, asked Chen's mother to rearrange her hair, and ordered her subordinates to open the middle door to welcome guests.

Princess Pingnan's ancestors and grandchildren arrived in Xianyang the day before, and the light car was simple, which did not alarm anyone, did not live in a post station, nor did they go to Tang's house, but just found a big inn in the city to stay. I went to the old mansion of the Tang family in the city early this morning to pay a visit, and I learned that the master of the Tang family was on the Zhuangzi outside the city most of the time, and not in the city, so the ancestors and grandsons hurried to the Zhuangzi with the guards. Although she took the initiative to go to the Tang family as a princess, she somewhat lost her identity, but the purpose of her trip was to befriend the Tang family, in the form of visiting handkerchiefs, so that the Tang family would sell her three points of face in the future. Now the situation in the court is confusing, and she and King Pingnan have to take precautions.

Although King Pingnan is a close friend of the first emperor, the current emperor is not particularly close to him, and the military power in southern Xinjiang is in his hands, he is like a emperor in southern Xinjiang, what will happen in the future, or how the new emperor will treat him after the change of imperial power, it is really difficult to say. The son of the world is generally talented, and there is nothing outstanding in martial arts and literature. If you don't plan ahead, even if the two of them can be safely in the world, if the two of them go first, leaving the children unable to support the overall situation independently, they will be used if they are not kneaded by others. If there is foreign aid from the Tang family, or if the Tang family can be the future arm of the son, she can rest assured. And Zhaoping has passed the age of Jilu, she has traveled back and forth between the palace and southern Xinjiang in the past few years, and more or less figured out the thoughts of the queen and the queen mother, and neither of them seems to have the possibility of choosing Zhaoping as the crown princess. And Zhaoping is the adopted daughter of the queen, marrying the crown prince or any prince, which is incompatible. Although Zhaoping is the adopted daughter of the queen, she is not a real princess, her identity is embarrassing, she can not marry the royal family, and the clan family and the prince think that she is not of royal blood, but she has royal pride, and it is difficult to integrate into the family. I haven't picked a suitable husband all these years, if I can marry the son of the Tang family, it will undoubtedly be the help of the son of the world in the future.

At this moment, the grandparents and grandchildren sat in the car at the gate of Tangzhuang to report to the people, thinking about their own thoughts. Zhaoping knows her grandmother's thoughts, but over the years in the palace, she has seen all the world's human feelings, and she has long known that her marriage is one of the family's weights, and the person she likes is not within the scope of her grandmother's choice. Judging by the marriage of her father and stepmother and the way her grandparents got along, she did not expect true happiness either. Although my grandfather only had one wife for his grandmother in his life, and there were no other women in the house, he did not have a grandmother in his heart. The indifference between father and stepmother is almost a replica of the grandfather and grandmother. Judging from the past told by her mother, her biological mother did not necessarily get along happily with her father.

She didn't want to object to her grandmother's attempt to marry the Tang family, at least the men of the Tang family were not ugly, but the children of the Tang family of this generation were busy with the family business except for those in the barracks. The brothers of the Tang family are too serious in the hunting grounds, and they never joke with their daughters, but when something happens, they seem to be extraordinary. However, that wasn't the type she was interested in. If she was not born in the palace, she could choose by herself, she would rather choose a person who is full of poetry and books, at least everyone has something to talk about on ordinary days. Maybe the only alternative Tang Xinjie in the Tang family, although she often goes in and out of the court, but never had the opportunity to meet him, I heard that he is both civil and military, and he is very funny, he is the dream son-in-law of the boudoir in Beijing, but he is too romantic, and he is not a good match in Zhaoping's opinion.

Not to mention Zhaoping's troubles, let's talk about Xinjie first, at this moment, he has just settled the prince's messenger in the guest house and dealt with the things mentioned in the letter, and is ready to go to see Lian'er again and then go to the wine banquet in the garden. After all, some women came to see their brother on the surface today, although this little woman never complained, but he still felt a little sorry for her in his heart. Let people steam the longan soup she likes in the morning, and at this moment Xing'er took it from the big kitchen, and he wanted to bring it over himself.

Before the frost leaf stack came out, the old lady sent someone to inform Princess Pingnan that she was coming, and he just said that he knew, and the arrival of Princess Pingnan was not important to him. When I arrived at the door of Zhufeng Pavilion, I met Chen's mother, she was here to inform Princess Lian'er about Princess Pingnan, and it was not appropriate for the other party to see Lian'er. Zhao usually goes in and out of the queen's palace, although Lian'er has been away from the palace for many years, her appearance has not changed much, and it is inevitable that Zhao Ping will remember her. It's eventful, it's better to let people know that Lian'er is in Zhuangzi later. Mother Chen saw the things in his hand and knew it, but she didn't dare to make fun of him, after all, this was the master, so she told him the old lady's words and asked him to tell them together, she would not follow up to hinder the two of them, and left with a smile to hurry away to do the old lady's business first, leaving the lingering space for the little couple.

However, the truth is not as good as Chen's mother thought, Xinjie noticed that someone was peeping at him at the moment of the frost leaf stack, and there were several groups of people, some of these people were strong in martial arts, and some were mediocre in martial arts. Ethics said that it was not easy for these people to enter Tangzhuang. However, since they had made up their minds about fishing, and there were many guests in Zhuangzi today, it was inconvenient to activate the mechanism, so they deliberately let these people come in first. It's just that he didn't expect that there would be so many people, far more than he and Xu Zheng's plan. According to the plan, in addition to Xu Zheng's subordinates who came today, it was the shadow guard of Prince Qing who followed Xu Zheng's team, and he would go to the orchard in a while, and in addition to the guards, there was only Lian'er herself. Xu Zheng's side has already been arranged, and the purpose of the shadow guard seems to be Lian'er, but they don't know what it is, so they want to let him in to have a look. Now that there were so many people who were not in their plan, he felt extremely worried about Lian'er's safety. He was thinking about how to adjust the surrounding defenses, even if Chen's mother joked about his demeanor, he didn't pay attention.

"Otherwise, I will send you back to the inner courtyard in a while, and I will say that you are not feeling well and have not seen any guests. Let Boss Wen lead people to guard our garden tightly, and it will be easier to defend over there than here. It just so happens that you can also find an excuse not to see the princess and the county lord these days. "Naturally, this matter needs to be discussed with her.

"If that's the case, you'll have to work hard to figure out what they're trying to do. I'm not an important person, maybe they're here for something else. There are too many important things in the Frost Leaf Stack and the Bamboo Wind Pavilion. The answer was expected, but he couldn't think of any other way to convince him. And he also agreed that the other party should not come for her because so many people came.

This is also where he is unsure, it stands to reason that not many people know Lian'er's true identity, and it will not attract so many people at this moment.

"Then you remember in a moment, keep yourself safe, and don't worry about anything else. You are more important than anything else. "He was still not at ease, but now it was too late to mobilize manpower, and all the people were sent out. Today's plan he and Xu Zheng have been planning for a long time, and they thought they were very thoughtful, but they didn't expect there to be accidents. I don't know how many people are eyeing the Tang family, and I don't know if they are targeting him or the Tang family.

Boss Wen now really wondered if the old lady had made a mistake in this move, and gave Miss Biao to the third young master. Others may not know, but those of them who are on night patrol naturally know best what is going on in Zhuangzi. After so many years in Tangzhuang, he naturally understands the thoughts of his master, and he can guess the causes and consequences of many things, and he can also see several little masters very clearly, The third young master in this generation of little masters is a top child. After what happened to Lan Xin, after several twists and turns, this little master was already very mature and perfect, and he was very good at covering up, so it was difficult for outsiders to attack him, and now, Miss Biao seemed to have become his biggest weakness.

At this time, the shadow guard in the bamboo forest seemed to understand the master's purpose, and if he wanted to control Tang Xinjie, he would use his beloved woman. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but a man who brought food to a woman must have taken her very seriously.

In the maple forest outside the frost leaf stack, there seemed to be a few light brown burdens hanging on the stems of several tall maple trees, if you didn't pay attention, you thought it was just a few more pimples on the trunks, but Han Lin wouldn't treat them as a burden. Han Lin admired them quite a lot, whether it was a killer or a guard in the rivers and lakes, the common ones were black or gray, these people used a light brown similar to the trunk in order to be close to the maple tree, which was really well-intentioned. His eyes swept over the maple forest, and he didn't deliberately stay in those positions, but quickly swept over, which was enough for him to judge the other party's figure, a total of seven people. Able to stick to the trunk of the tree like this, breathing weakly, for three quarters of an hour, the body shape has undergone any changes, no movement has been made, and the invisibility kung fu is first-class. Soft and tightly attached to the trunk of the tree, and did not carry a hard long weapon, this kind of person is likely to see long dark weapons and soft weapons.
