In this kind of unrealistic, the days pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a big festival in the Dasheng Dynasty, and in this year, Ling Tiancheng is a concubine and a concubine, and Empress Dowager An's illness has also improved.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites asked Ling Tiancheng for instructions on whether to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet better.

Ling Tiancheng agreed, but the reason why he agreed was simply that Zhuang Siyan had returned.

He said to the Ministry of Rites: "Well, Concubine Wan is back, it is time to hold a banquet to wash the dust for her, you go and ask her if she has any requirements, and do it according to her ideas." ”

The people of the Ministry of Rites had a strange expression, and when they withdrew from the Zichen Palace, the two officials who were in charge of organizing the palace banquet looked at each other.

However, what Ling Tiancheng said, they didn't dare to ignore it, and they still asked Zhuang Siyan to ask.

Zhuang Siyan has never been concerned about this kind of thing, just let them be casual, but he is a good waiter.

On the contrary, it is Xian Guifei, the concubine of Jin, her father's official career is also a lot smoother, and her younger brother has made achievements, so she is happy in her heart, and it is inevitable that she will point a few fingers at the Internal Affairs Office.

The Internal Affairs Office is in charge of the palace banquet, and she is the only concubine in the palace, so of course she will follow her wishes.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is similar to the New Year's banquet, grand and formal.

Therefore, Ling Tiancheng wanted to take Empress Dowager An, Xian Guifei, and the four concubines and four concubines to gather with hundreds of officials above the second grade.

In the evening, I will return to the palace and participate in the palace banquet.

Zhuang Siyan didn't want to go, she wasn't stage fright, she just felt that she had to wear a lot of particularly heavy headdresses at this kind of palace banquet, and she was too tired, so she resisted.

Ling Tiancheng persuaded her softly and slowly: "Tell Lan Xin and them, just wear less, go and salute then, and then if you are tired, come back first." ”

Zhuang Siyan had no choice but to follow him.

The great gift is singing and dancing.

Although it was a banquet to relax, who among the hundred officials dared to relax in front of Ling Tiancheng? So just sit quietly and occasionally take a sip of the wine in front of you.

Someone got up first to pay homage to Ling Tiancheng, and he didn't shirk it, and drank it all.

On such an occasion, Zhuang Siyan was not noticeable, or she had been out for too long, and people gradually forgot her words.

On the contrary, it was Concubine Xian, because of her high position and sitting next to Ling Tiancheng, so many people's eyes stayed on her.

Xian Guifei has never felt like this moment, feeling proud.

Her face was slightly up, her chin was a little upright, and her eyes looked down at everyone below, especially when she saw Zhuang Siyan, the smugness in it was obvious.

However, Zhuang Siyan's mind was not on her, so she didn't see it at all.

She just looked at all the officials above the second grade, and almost instinctively remembered the faces of all of them, as well as the wives they brought.

There was one person in them that Zhuang Siyan had never seen before, and had never even seen him go to court.

The man looked to be no more than thirty years old, but his face was a little pale, and he did not look like anyone else's spirit, and at first glance he was a little compulsed, and he sat in the corner of the back row, and almost no one paid attention to him.

He didn't seem to want to attract attention either, and only drank in silence.

On the contrary, it was the woman beside him, her eyes were quite interesting, and she scrolled from time to time, and went back and forth a few times on Xian Guifei, Zhuang Siyan and Ling Tiancheng.

Zhuang Siyan turned sideways and asked Ping'er behind him: "Who is that person, the second and first position?" ”

Ping'er glanced over there quietly, and whispered, "It's King Rongchang." ”

"Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Ping'er replied softly, "He only came out of prison not long ago. ”

Zhuang Siyan didn't ask any more, because she felt Ling Tiancheng's gaze, and she was afraid that if she said a few more words, the emperor would call her over no matter what the occasion.

In this kind of place, it's better not to be in the limelight.

After sitting for a while, Zhuang Siyan got up and quietly hid out of the side door.

Ping'er and Lan Xin followed behind her, putting a cloak on her shoulders in time.

Zhuang Siyan said: "Go back, there will be a palace banquet in the evening." ”

A few people returned to Baizhuyuan, and after only sitting for a while, they heard someone outside asking to see them.

Zhuang Siyan asked, "Who, what are you here to see here?" ”

Lan Xin said: "Niangniang, rest, I'll go and see." ”

She went out for a few minutes and came back, her face was a little not very good, and she gave Zhuang Siyan a look.

Zhuang Siyan asked Ping'er and them to retreat first, and then asked her, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhuang Siyan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuang Siyan.

The handwriting was instantly recognizable from Zhuang Changyuan's hand, Zhuang Siyan looked up at Lan Xin and asked, "You have always been in contact with him." ”

Lan Xin knelt down all of a sudden: "Niang Niang Ming checked, the slave didn't have it." ”

Zhuang Siyan didn't delve into it, but only took out the letter to read it.

The content of Zhuang Changyuan's letter is straightforward and simple, asking her to go out of the palace to meet.

The location is also very interesting, it turned out to be the old house of the banker.

Zhuang Siyan took the letter in his hand and shook it a few times before handing it to Lan Xin: "Take a look." ”

Lan Xin only glanced at it, and her face changed greatly, and she knelt down again: "Miss, you can't go." ”

"Why?"

She was obviously panicked, her hands tightly stirred the hem of her clothes, her teeth bit her lip, and she swallowed a few times before she spoke: "Miss is in the palace now, and she is favored by the emperor, but the lord is a fugitive now, if you go out, what if the emperor knows?" ”

Zhuang Siyan said indifferently: "How would he know? It's not like I haven't been out, and he won't follow me all the time. ”

Lan Xin raised his head suddenly: "Miss, the emperor is the emperor after all, although he won't follow you, but those big internal guards are more powerful than the other, how can they not know your whereabouts?" ”

Zhuang Siyan ignored her, and instead asked, "Are you standing with the emperor now?" ”

Lan Xin was choked and slowed down for a while before saying, "The slave is loyal to her mother, and she has never had two hearts. ”

Whether there is a second heart or not, only she knows, anyway, Zhuang Siyan can't believe her more and more now.

At least she couldn't go out to see Zhuang Changyuan, she knew it in her heart, so she didn't say anything more to Lan Xin.

In the evening, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace began.

As usual, the concubines first went to the ancestors, the gods offered incense, and chanted a scripture, and then went to the Huangji Palace.

Empress Dowager An said that she was not physically fit and would not come to participate.

Ling Tiancheng naturally didn't care too much, but Concubine Xian was very happy.

At the banquet of the previous dynasty, there were a full hall of courtiers, and she couldn't play a role as a lady, even if one or two ministers with eyes came to toast her with a glass of wine, because the Empress Dowager An was there, she was pressed down alive.

But the harem is different, it was originally the world of the concubines, An was too good and just wasn't there, she completely put herself in the position of the queen, and she felt that everyone here was rubbish.

Ling Tiancheng's attention was all on Zhuang Siyan's body, seeing that he had gone back early during the day, and he was not in good spirits when he came out at this time, so he sent Li Fu over to ask if he was uncomfortable.

Zhuang Siyan glanced at Ling Tiancheng through the colorful Maiko, and saw that his eyes were looking at him warmly, so he lowered his eyelids and said to Li Fu: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, I'm fine, it's just that it's a little boring to participate in this kind of banquet, I'll go back early in a while." ”

Li Fu passed her words back as they were, and Ling Tiancheng also nodded to her in the distance of everyone, indicating permission.

After drinking a round of wine, before Concubine Xian could play her role, Zhuang Siyan stood up first, wanting to retreat quietly as if it was daytime.

Ruzhixian Guifei, as soon as she saw her get up, she brought a glass of wine to her palace, and also got up and said: "Concubine Wan, although our sisters are in the harem together and serve the emperor together, you are usually too busy, and my sister can't say a word to you."

Today is the palace banquet, take this opportunity, our sisters have a drink, and hope to work together in the future. ”

Zhuang Siyan stood still, his eyes looked at her, there was no cowardice, no recklessness, just looked at it without being salty, as if he didn't understand what Concubine Xian meant.

Concubine Xian raised her glass, but she didn't see it, and she didn't take the wine glass in the palace maid's hand.

Concubine Xian's face sank, looked at her and asked, "Does Concubine Wan disdain to drink this glass of wine with me?" ”

Zhuang Siyan's face moved a moment, the corners of his mouth slowly smiled, and his eyes looked at her fixedly: "You're right." ”

Xian Guifei: "What? ”

"There is no need for me and you to drink, firstly we are not sisters, not before, and not ever will be;

Second, you pretended to forget about the things you framed me, but I didn't forget, and maybe I will take revenge in the future, so you'd better go back and be more careful;

Third, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, in addition to me, there are many concubines, don't think that you have become a concubine, you are superior, think about the fate of Miao Guifei, you should get along with others. ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Concubine Xian again, and turned to leave.

The palace maid with the wine was originally standing beside her, and she didn't know what to do at this time, so she could only look at her master with her eyes.

Where can Concubine Xian take care of her, her face is blue with anger, but Zhuang Siyan has already left, and she has nowhere to do.

Looking sideways at Ling Tiancheng, the one who was looking thoughtfully at the direction in which Zhuang Siyan had disappeared, there was an irritating smile on the corner of his mouth.

It is conceivable that Concubine Xian has no face for herself this way, and other concubines usually don't dare to fight for anything with her, and they don't have a good impression of Concubine Wan.

But apparently happy to watch the two of them pinch each other, and no one watched the dance at this time, just looked at the expression on Concubine Xian's face and smiled secretly.

Zhuang Siyan came out of the Imperial Palace and went all the way back to Baizhu Courtyard.

She left all the palace people outside, went in alone and quickly changed her clothes, and then jumped out of the window on one side, and slipped out of the courtyard door when the night was thick and she couldn't see clearly.

When she left the palace gate, the guard looked at her twice, and in view of the waist card in her hand, she still didn't say anything.

But as soon as Zhuang Siyan left, the guard immediately sent a message to the palace.

When Li Fu got the news, it was already half an hour later.

The palace is too big, and the guards can't enter the palace without permission, the news is passed on to that, and the eunuchs in the palace are all looking at their faces.

When uploading, I saw that the other party's look was wrong, and the timing was not right, so I had to wait for a while, and it was good to be able to pass the words in as it was.
