Today's feast is destined to be unusual.

The emperor was in a good mood, so he was kind to everyone. Even Zhu Changjue came to toast without saying a word, and toasted a few glasses.

To say that the situation in Beijing and China has been really tense recently, it is rare to be able to let go of the staggering of competition and hatred, and it also makes the emperor, the king of Jue, the crown prince, and all the relatives of the emperor and the country can't help but put aside their prejudices to enjoy this temporary calm and peace that will become more and more rare.

Therefore, today's feast is especially lively.

Since his own generation, King Xiaoyao has seen too much fighting between princes and princes, and his heart is not very happy, so he can't help but take the prince and King Jue to drink several cups today.

After the atmosphere heated up, I don't know if it was really thinking about remembrance, or to disgust the prince, Zhu Changjue also took the initiative to hook the prince's shoulder, sat at the same table, and talked about his childhood.

The prince still had a light smile that couldn't be shaken, and he didn't know if he was really reminded of the past, or if he was forbearing.

These two people come and go in this strange atmosphere, and in the focus of a large number of eyes, half-truths and half-truths heat up the atmosphere one by one, but it has become a unique scenery.

Cheng Ziyu looked low and smiled.

This kind of scene, if nothing else, should be the last.

Among the princes, the first to fall in the previous life was the crown prince, not in this life. Except for Zhu Changqi, the first one to fall, let Zhu Changjue come!

It's rare to be lively, and it's inevitable to drink more.

Before the feast was over, many people had already drunk too much......

The women's guest area not far away, what made Cheng Ziyu feel weird was not only those hypocritical men who drank and made trouble.

She had always felt that someone was staring in her direction with hateful eyes.

At the beginning, Cheng Ziyu tried her best to ignore it.

When she finally couldn't help it, she looked back coldly, but what she caught was Wen Qing, who was staring at the palace concubine.

Cheng Ziyu was a little confused. It stands to reason that he has not confronted Wen Qing head-on, is it because of Li Chun? Because of jealousy? Hate because of love?

"She's because of me!" Vinland spoke.

After Zhu Changzhe left Beijing, Wenlan was bored. She doesn't have many friends, so such a banquet is naturally with Cheng Ziyu. So today, Wen Lan also insisted on sitting at a table with Cheng Ziyu.

"She's looking at me. From the moment we met in the morning, they set their eyes on me. ”

"What did you do?" Cheng Ziyu glanced at Wen Qing again. The other party's appearance is simply like wanting to come up and take a bite to enjoy it.

"The conscience of heaven and earth! I don't have to go out of this door, how can I have time to take care of her? Besides, she's still a girl, completely useless, and you think I'm going to waste my time and resources on her? Even her father basically gave up on her. If it doesn't help the mother country at all, what's the use of asking her? She spent so much cultivation on her in North Korea, and she dared to stare at me? ”

Wen Lan also glared back!

"The last time she was playing right and wrong with my father, she wanted to calculate my entry into the palace, and I haven't even settled that account with her, and I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to her! If she dares to be arrogant again, I want her to look good! Who knows what happened to her! The illness is not light, but it has paranoia, right? ”

Although it was strange, since it was none of his business, Cheng Ziyu suppressed his doubts, and didn't care about the two of them.

When the wine feast is dispersed, it is a flower feast.

Changed places and changed to Cining Garden.

But the content has not changed, it is still eating, drinking, watching performances and talking.

Most of the people who came to today's banquet were relatives of the emperor and the country, so the defense between men and women was also slightly relaxed. Only the male and female guest venues were simply demarcated, and the boundary could not be crossed deliberately.

Cheng Ziyu also drank a lot today, and she was a little groggy at this time, so she hurriedly found a place to drink tea to relieve her hangover. There are a lot of female relatives who drink as much as her, and it is also lively at this time.

Cheng Ziyu has been in the palace many times, and she has also made a few concubines with good relationships in the palace, and she can be regarded as a talker.

Especially Shi Guiren and Tian Guiren, after helping themselves in Wang Yue's matter last time, they can be regarded as having a friendship. Tian Guiren, Cheng Ziyu sincerely congratulated her, knowing that pregnant women were not suitable for wearing gemstones, so she took off a pair of pink jade bracelets from her wrists and gave them away.

Tian Guiren thanked him again and again, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and it seemed to be a little ...... Lonely?

Why is that?

Right now, her fetus is just right, the queen is recuperating and the concubine is planted, the harem is peaceful, at least the surface is very stable, it stands to reason that this fetus is nine out of ten, there is really nothing to scruple about. The emperor favored her, promoted her to a position, sent a lot of rewards to her palace, and personally asked the imperial hospital to get her a prescription for a safe pregnancy.

I just heard that the emperor asked Yu Gonggong to arrange for the Chuxiu Palace, which had just been renovated at the end of last year and was closest to the imperial garden, to be used to raise the baby for Tian Guiren. This is directly given to the lord of the first house. In this way, even food, clothing, housing and transportation are not afraid of being angry.

The old man has a son, and he wants to know that this child will be very favored regardless of gender, and their Shijiatian family can be regarded as having a backer, so she is not happy? I don't understand, I really don't understand......

On the other side, Cheng Ziyu noticed that Wen Lan and Wen Qing were still on the bar in the end.

The two argued behind the flower tree, and the movement was not small, attracting many people to stretch their necks to watch frequently, and finally broke up unhappily.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Ziyu sat down beside the bulging Wenlan.

"I don't know if it's Wen Qing's convulsions, or if someone is making trouble, she insisted that I sent someone to send her something this morning."

"Oh? What did you give? Cheng Ziyu obviously didn't know when she looked at Wen Lan. I don't know if it's Wen Qing or others who are making trouble, so people only feel that there are more and more strange things today.

"Said I sent her a basket of fresh fruits and a bag of preserved fruits."

“…… How? "I don't understand.

"Said that the basket of fresh fruits were all apricots. There were only five of them in that packet. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand? It's normal that I don't understand, but she cried, made trouble and scolded me, and insisted that I was pretending! I pretend? Bah! Am I as idle as she is? ”

The more Wen Lan spoke, the more angry she became, and she took another glass of wine, "She said, that basket of apricots was all taken from the pit, do you understand?" ”

"Apricot ...... Seedless...... Childless. Poof, I'm lucky I don't have a child, right? So, the five preserved fruits are not blessed, right? Does she think you're scolding her: childless and blessed? "No wonder I'm angry like that.

"Exactly. I didn't do it! ”

"How did she decide that you were the mastermind behind this?"

Because the palace maid who sent the things refused to say her identity, when the old lady in Wenqing Palace pulled and pulled her, a letter fell from the palace maid. Wen Qing insisted that the handwriting on the letter was mine. said that if it weren't for the fact that the letter involved North Korea's business in Beijing, she would have reported the matter, treated me as a concubine, and insinuated the sin of the saint! ”

"That's ......"

It is true that it will not be Vinlan who plays this kind of word trick. "Did Wen Qing provoke some enemies in the palace and deliberately trick her? Or is there someone trying to fan the flames among you North Koreans? ”

The former one is okay and has nothing to do with Vinland. But the latter one, presumably, will be a little troublesome. Wen Qing is not a good stubble, and after being provoked, don't make any trouble. Wenlan has been bound to Zhu Changzhe, is she going to Zhu Changzhe?

"I'm worried, too. Finally, Wen Qing still knows the truth of both prosperity and loss, and this matter is silent. When the feast was over, I went to see with my own eyes and saw if there was anything wrong with the letterhead. Nothing else is fine, but don't really flow out of my side, so isn't there a mole around me? ”

"Well, be careful. Do you want me to go with you? ”

"Not really. In this harem, just like her, what else can she do to me! ”

"Yes." From the moment Wen Qing calculated Li Chun and even the emperor calculated, she was destined to never have a good life by the emperor's side. At this moment and in the future, she should have no other than one position. What else could she do......

More than a quarter of an hour later, the old lady beside Wen Qing came to Wen Lan's side and said a few words.

Vinland got up and went with her.

"Where?" Cheng Ziyu asked.

"It's the dressing room outside Cining Palace. Wen Qing went to get the letterhead. I'll take a look. Since there is a comparison, there is a risk of dispute, and I don't want to make trouble with her again in Cining Palace and lose face in North Korea. I'm not sure, and I have to look at the letterhead to be sure. ”

Vinland went with some apprehension.

After seeing her go out, Cheng Ziyu gave Liu Er a look.

Liu Er understood, so she followed.

After a short while, Liu Er returned.

"Princess Wenlan did enter a side hall not far from Cining Palace, which was used for female guests to change clothes and rest. There was also a palace maid guarding the banquet outside, and the slave and maid followed a few steps closer, and after a while, I saw that Concubine Qing also hurried in. It should be no problem. ”

"That's good."

However, after waiting for more than half an hour, and not seeing Wen Lan come back, Cheng Ziyu was inexplicably a little flustered.

It stands to reason that she has been very honest in and out of the palace recently, and she is not afraid that someone will be bold and blind, but mainly because she is worried that Wen Lan will not be able to cope with the complicated situation.

"Let's go change our clothes, too!" Cheng Ziyu took Liu Er and Gui'er out of Cining Palace.

The three of them walked in the direction indicated by Liu'er.

After walking less than twenty steps, they saw in the distance, and Wen Qing's old mother ran over with a sad face:

"The county lord came just in time. Hurry up and get a few people to help. Princess Wenlan and Concubine Qing disagreed and fought. Both sides have a big temperament, one grabs the face and the other pulls the hair, and they refuse to let go!

Our master's face has been scratched, I'm afraid it's going to break the appearance! The slaves and maids really can't hold it, in order to protect the face of the master's mother country, the old slave doesn't dare to show off, just guard the slave who is guarding the outer door of the side hall to branch open and want to find someone to help, you just come over, just ask the county lord for a favor. ”

"E......" Wenlan Wenqing and the two have a grudge, this time it is obvious that someone is insisting on provoking, these two people fight, if it gets bigger, I am afraid that it will be the way.

"Liu'er, hurry up and follow Mama to pull people away first."

Liu Er got her life and followed the grandmother to the courtyard quickly.

Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but step up.

Fortunately, it is not far away, although the people in the palace are in and out at this time, their attention is all in Cining Palace.

I just don't know who's doing the trick.

When they got closer, Cheng Ziyu and Gui'er also heard the sound of smashing on the side of the palace wall. And at the door, there was only a little palace maid who was spinning around in place with tears in her eyes.

"County Lord, quick! Go in and persuade! The little palace maid stomped her feet and hurriedly pushed the door open. Princess Wenlan listens to your words, you persuade you, and if you continue to make trouble, you will be happy today, I am afraid that the two masters will be punished. ”

Cheng Ziyu and Gui'er raised their feet and straddled in......

The moment he stepped out, Cheng Ziyu's heart flashed, and he secretly said that something was wrong.

She suddenly remembered that Vinlan hadn't even taken Green Qiao with her when she went out since the last assassination. I am surrounded by girls with martial arts, and if I really want to fight with Wen Qing, where do I need my own people to help me pull away and persuade me? With the two girls around her today, it's no problem to deal with the siege of seven or eight grandmothers with big shoulders and round waists, right?

So, there must be something wrong!

If you care about it, you will be chaotic, only thinking about the abnormality everywhere today, afraid that someone is calculating the North Koreans and not being good for Zhu Changzhe, but you can't even see such a low-level loophole?

Could it be ...... Are you here for yourself?

Cheng Ziyu's heart trembled, and she shrank her feet again and again, but she didn't know that a force had hit her behind her.

She stumbled forward and threw herself forward.

The door behind him had slammed shut. In the end, I couldn't dodge it.

"Be careful!"

Seeing that Cheng Ziyu was about to fall, Gui'er's first reaction was to reach out and pull, and subconsciously took two steps forward. She naturally didn't forget to swing the door with her other hand, only to find that the door didn't move at all, and it was not easy to push it open.

And as the courtyard door was closed, more than one wind was already in Gui'er's ears.

There were people hiding behind the door, and now they were all standing behind her.

She pulls people with her right hand, looks sideways and strikes with her left hand.

There was more than one person behind the side, and Gui'er could hear it. She screamed badly, elbowed her back, and kicked back a few flower pots by the door with her foot.

But the movement behind her and her elbow made her heart sink down.

The several flower pots kicked out one after another all shattered, but they didn't hit a single person. So it's all about practicing the family.

It is difficult to defeat the multi-person sneak attack with one hand. To be planted!

On the premise of protecting Cheng Ziyu, the gap behind her was also exposed.

Sure enough, the stick had already been smashed, making a muffled thud at the back of her neck.

At this moment, Cheng Ziyu also understood that the series of smashing sounds he heard when he walked over the wall was actually either made when Liu Er was sneak attacked, or these people performed hard to lure themselves into the bait.

In the face of Liu Er, she can make a quick decision, and she can guess without looking back that there is definitely more than one person sneaking up behind her.

"Help-" As soon as the word "help" came out, Cheng Ziyu felt a weight behind him, and as soon as his left hand was released, Gui'er fell.

Cheng Ziyu's Gui'er didn't stand firm with her strength, and she fell backwards, barely avoiding the blow that originally came at the back of her head.

But her luck was really bad today.

The hand that fell down to support himself slammed on the stone steps by the door, the palm of which was cut, and the other hand fell on the fragment of the flower pot that had just been smashed by Gui'er.

God teased, the eyeless porcelain piece was the curved glaze below, the endomorph incision was facing up, and it happened to wait for her left hand.

The pieces entered the flesh, the porcelain pieces slipped, and the first handful that lasted down was not stable. It not only delayed her from getting up, but also caused the porcelain to lengthen the wound and sink deep into the flesh of her hand.

……
