It was the dark night, and the fire was soaring into the sky, crackling and reflecting half of the sky, so that half of the capital was rolled in a heat wave.

For some unknown reason, a liquor shop on South Street suddenly caught fire, and there were a lot of spirits stored in it, and the fire couldn't be extinguished even if it wanted to. Not only that, but even the neighbors around were affected, and the fire was continuous, alarming the entire Shangjing City.

Since Xiao Dong went to He Mansion, Yishan Bo Mansion has felt a lot quieter recently, and if it weren't for this fire, it would continue to be quiet.

Shen Xiaoxia stood in her boudoir on the second floor, wearing a jacket, the fire in the house was burning, if it weren't for the sky-high fire outside, she would have fallen asleep at this time.

"Girl, it was the cellar that was burned, and it seems that the enemy has found out."

Although it was too far away to hear the noise outside, Xiao Xia, who was standing in the boudoir, knew that it must be very lively in that direction.

"Then fill in all four secret passages! In addition, you should also leave yourself a way back. ”

As soon as Chaoyu heard this, he understood what the girl meant, turned around and took the order.

Hearing the sound of the door being shut, Xiao Xia closed the curtains again, went to bed with the faint light from the copper furnace, and closed her eyes in peace.

But in his heart, he silently thought that he seemed to have one more enemy.

Seeing that it is the Lantern Festival, this is a lively festival, every year at this time of the year there will be a banquet in the palace, as the upstart of the capital, this year Yi Shanbo's family will naturally be invited.

He has never participated in a formal banquet, let alone a palace banquet held by the emperor, and the people who can attend are the top figures of the Kyushu Dynasty.

The family sat together and discussed, Shen Zhong and his wife had to go, Xiao Xia couldn't go, Xiao Chun was about to get married, and it would be good for her to contact more ladies and misses in the future, Xiao Qiu is now twelve, and when it is the age to say goodbye, Xiao Wang said that he should also go out to let people meet. Xiao Si said that he didn't want to stay at home by himself, so he decided to go as a family!

As for Xiao Dong, his grandfather had already handed over the news, saying that he would take Xiao Dong with him.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the family got up early, and even though they had time to use in the morning, they still felt in a hurry.

Finally, everything was ready, and it was almost three o'clock, and everyone's lunch was simply a little refreshment, for fear of soiling their gorgeous clothes and clean makeup.

As soon as Shen Shi arrived, the family rode a big carriage to the imperial city.

The carriage wandered around steadily for most of the hour and finally entered the imperial city, and the He family sitting in the carriage suddenly became nervous.

The handkerchief in the palm of his hand was wet with sweat.

"Xiao Xia, what should I say when I meet someone?"

"Mother, don't worry! Not only will we be there for you, but my grandfather will be there as well. If you don't know what to say to those ladies, you don't say anything. ”

"This ......"

As he was talking, the carriage had stopped, and a eunuch with a sharp duck voice outside stopped the carriage to post, he should have known that it was the carriage of the Yishan Uncle's Mansion, so he immediately changed his tone, and invited the carriage in extremely humbly, and even the routine search was a simple look, and the curtain of the carriage was not opened.

Seeing this, He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem to be as scary as she imagined.

The carriage swayed to a palace gate, and here it entered the inner city of the imperial city, and it really entered the palace, and the carriages from outside had to stop here, and everyone got off the car to walk in, which was the rule, and it was also out of respect for the royal family.

He was helped out of the carriage by the two sisters Xiao Xia and Xiao Qiu, and at first glance they saw Mrs. He who was already waiting here, and also led two little people, one was Shen Xiaodong, and the other was He Tianyou.

Seeing Mrs. He, He's eyes were covered with a layer of joy, and the originally tense and bumpy mood relaxed.

"Father."

"Grandpa."

"Father-in-law."

Mrs. He nodded, and handed his waist card to the eunuch on the side. Shen Zhong did the same.

This eunuch is more disciplined, and he didn't be accommodating when he saw the waist card, but his attitude was still very good.

"Offended Mrs. He, Uncle Yishan. Servants were to be routinely searched, and no weapons were to be brought into the palace. ”

Mrs. He naturally nodded and took two steps forward, and her own eunuchs searched her body, and the women would be in charge of the female officials in the palace, and it would pass quickly.

Probably because the people around him are relatives, He has relaxed a lot, and it is the first time to enter the palace with several children, so he can't help but be a little curious and look forward to it......

The majestic palace wall, the beautiful cornices and corners, and the bright yellow glazed tiles are solemn and elegant everywhere, and the atmosphere is magnificent.

A wide and long marble palace road leads to the tall and magnificent noon gate in front, after the noon gate is the Longqian Palace of the hundred officials, this palace banquet is held in the Longde Hall behind the Longqian Palace.

Along the way, there were constantly officials and family members greeting Mrs. He, and then Mrs. He would introduce the new aunt Yi Shanbo who was with him to you, as well as his beloved daughter He Shi, He was already timid, but when she saw her father's encouraging eyes, she had to smile, she nodded when someone talked to her, and if someone praised her daughter, she smiled and coped with it.

Shen Zhong also kept a face from the beginning of his discomfort, and then slowly became able to say two sentences.

Although Yishanbo's reputation has long been loud in Shangjing, there are really not many people who have seen him in person.

Originally, I thought it was an old hat who could only farm a little strength, but I didn't expect that now when I saw that I was tall and mighty, and I was upright, I suddenly felt that my eyes were clumsy.

The heavenly court is full and round, it is simply a natural rich appearance!

Entering the Longde Palace, it was already full of friends, the sound of conversation and laughter was endless, and the excitement was abnormal, and the Yishan Bo's family was not the earliest.

Immediately, the palace attendants arranged the Yishan Bo family to the middle position, and Mrs. He was arranged to the front position. There is a difference between respect and inferiority, of course, the greater the official, the more powerful the person is, the higher the front, this is also the rule.

Soon everyone noticed the Yi Shanbo family, the first to come over to say hello was the Gao family, Gao Yuanyuan's father Gao Qishan is the second son of the Gao family, such as seeing that the head of the Gao family is the eldest son of the Gao family, Gao Qishan's eldest brother Gao Hongshan, and now the official worships the second product of the military department Zuo Shilang, the influence in the court is also conceivable.

The brothers of the Gao family are very close to each other, Gao Qishan has already explained to Gao Hongshan, Yi Shanbo is a person worthy of friendship, Gao Hongshan naturally wants to take this opportunity to meet the people who are praised by the second brother.

"Lord Yishanbo, I have admired my name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!"

Gao Hongshan is also a person who practices martial arts, but he is not as tall and mighty as Shen Zhong, but like a civil official, with a thin and thin body, a pair of shrewd eyes with sharp eyes, but a little rough.
