In the blink of an eye, the ninth year of Yonghui ended in a snowstorm. The Spring Festival in the palace is both lively and lonely. The lively ones are the queen mother, the emperor and a group of imperial relatives, and the cold and lonely are all concubines who are unfavored in the deep palace, and little palace maids like Yang Qiqi who have no power and power.

During this period, only the thirteenth prince showed special attention to the female official Xiaoqi, and he came to the Baifu Palace at every now and then, and was close to the eldest princess of Tong'an. But after seeing Yang Qiqi, it was awkward. It's not that Yang Qiqi is going to work for him, it's that he can't wait to count Yang Qiqi from head to toe.

Yang Qiqi couldn't help but secretly feel that it was really a rumor that it was better to meet. In her previous life, her impression of the Thirteen Princes was mostly chic and uninhibited, but this time she learned about it nearby, and only then did she find that the Thirteen Princes were very stingy. The matter of Anrenmen is so jealous that it is now.

Therefore, Murong Zhao looked forward to it day and night, and he didn't get the Queen Mother to spit out, so he looked forward to Yang Qiqi's return. This year, in the end, it was boring.

When it came to the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor set up a palace banquet in the West Inner Garden outside the north wall of Taiji Palace.

Two days ago, thousands of lanterns of all kinds were hung in the West Inner Garden. When it comes to the right day, it is also prosperous and lively.

Under the guise of serving their masters, the little palace maids in each palace also came with a lot.

The palace swallow drinks, as usual, you don't have to follow the personal maid. In addition to the palace people of the Shangshi Bureau and the Le Fang, most of the maids next to them are either lazy in the room, or in a small corner to enjoy the lanterns and the moon.

Murong Zhao brought Ruyi and the two little palace maids of the Wude Hall to the West Inner Garden, and at this time, several people were waiting in the small room, and only An Liang was staying in the west group room near the feast.

"Ah, I don't know where the handkerchief I was carrying has fallen."

"The handkerchief should be tucked in the sleeve, I just saw that you have been pinned to the placket, and you are going to lose it!"

The little palace maid who was said blushed on her face, and said anxiously: "That's Sister Ayao's veil, and it was embroidered by the little seventh girl." I look good, licking my face and coming over. You can't lose it! ”

Another said: "Where did you fall, go out and look for it?" ”

"I just went to Gongfang, don't fall into that neighborhood."

Ruyi couldn't help frowning when he heard the two of them talking, and scolded softly: "What is it in the Wude Palace, why are you so careless." If you are picked up by someone else, you don't know what will happen! ”

The little palace maid who threw the veil was a little surprised, and said, "Sister Ruyi, what can happen with a handkerchief?" ”

Ruyi said: "The cloth and silk threads in the palace are all quantitative, and how much is obtained in which palace, you can find out if you go to the court or the inner palace bureau to find out." If anyone uses that veil to do anything, the basin will be deducted to the head of the Wude Palace! ”

Hearing this, the two little palace maids were immediately frightened and fidgeted, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go and find it, and I must find it." With that, he went out in a hurry.

Ruyi knew that it was a minority to make a fuss by borrowing a veil, but he scared the little palace maid twice. It's good to sit in the house by yourself, and it's good to go out for a walk. Out of the door of the house, she prepared to go to the lantern, intending to take a look at it from afar.

Who knew that as soon as he took two steps, his feet suddenly felt soft, and he looked down and saw the handkerchief in the mouth of the little palace maid. She secretly laughed at the carelessness of the two, and was afraid that they would have to run for nothing, so she immediately picked up the handkerchief and put it in her sleeve.

She went to see the direction of the lanterns, in the plum grove behind the West Group Courtyard. At the moment, the plum blossom is just right, and the plum fragrance is overflowing.

Ruyi stepped on the snow to find plums, and couldn't help but sigh that Murong Zhao was confused by Xiao Qi and Wen Yaojia and alienated himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little self-pity.

At this time, the sound of small footsteps came from far and near. She didn't know who it was, and was about to say hello, but she heard a voice from someone who said earnestly: "It's all arranged, it's February 23, the day of the day." ”

As soon as Ruyi heard this, his steps subconsciously stagnated, and he felt that it was not the time to go out to see the ceremony, even if he squatted behind a plum tree.

"On that day, the Nine Emperors accompanied the Eleventh Princes to go with them, if the arrangements are made, they will ...... then."

"I've saved it! They are all fresh faces of deserters in the Northwest Army, and even if they are really found out, they can only be blamed on the military department. Brother can say that most of the soldiers are the way of the Yuan family. The Nine Emperors and the Eleventh Princes are gone together, which is a big blow to Concubine Zhuo Shu and the Zhuo family, and they can't make any waves in the past few years! If this step is taken well, it will be a great thing to kill three birds with one stone! ”

The cold wind whimpered, sending the words of the two people far away, and also made Ruyi listen to it very sincerely.

February 23, this day is the anniversary of the noble concubine. Two days ago, the emperor decided to let the Nine Emperors accompany the Eleventh Prince to pay tribute to the virtuous concubine.

She shuddered at the thought of this, and she was cold from her head to her toes. She couldn't tell who was speaking, but this person was obviously trying to harm His Highness Eleven.

What to do? Questions flashed through Ruyi's mind, but in an instant, she came up with an idea. She threw the handkerchief in her sleeve to the ground, got up sharply, and ran quickly in the direction of the west group.

This movement was not light, and immediately alarmed the person who spoke, and someone on the other side raised his voice and said in panic: "Who is there!" ”

Ruyi ran for a distance before he heard someone behind him shouting: "Stop!" She couldn't stop running as hard as she could, and soon left the people who had caught up behind, and ran straight towards the west group house.

The palace maid who had just spoken out did not catch up with Ruyi, and when she turned around, she was facing the moonlight and saw the handkerchief under the tree. She picked up the handkerchief, walked to Concubine Li Guifei, who was hidden in the shade of the tree, and said, "Niangniang, that palace maid went to the west group room, but I am afraid that it is a slave of which family." I was in a hurry just now, and I left this. ”

Li Guifei immediately said: "You immediately let people go and see whose minions are in the West Qunfang." Let the past be alive. Check again if this veil is what it looks like in the palace. ”

Ming Chun said yes, and walked quickly with a gloomy face.

Li Junping was quite worried: "I don't know when the palace maid was there, but I didn't let people see it, why did someone suddenly come out." Mother, can she hear us? ”

Li Guifei had a cold face, bit her lip slightly, and said with extremely fierce eyes: "If you don't listen to it, you can't keep a living mouth!" ”

Ruyi was frightened and sweated profusely. When she arrived near the West Qunfang, she didn't go in, but went around from the other side and went back to the room directly.

At this time, the two little palace maids had already returned in vain, and when they saw Ruyi's appearance, they were surprised and asked, "Sister Ruyi, where did you go?" ”

Ruyi entered the door, and the wild beat of his heart was barely suppressed. Her eyes were shrouded in the shadow cast by her eyelashes, and she whispered, "Listen, none of you have ever left the door of the house today, let alone lost any handkerchief!" ”

The two palace maids looked at each other, and then said in a panic: "Sister Ruyi, is something wrong?" ”

Ruyi scolded in a low voice: "If you want to live, don't ask anything, don't say anything!" ”

Although the two palace maids didn't know what was going on, they didn't dare to ask anything more when they looked at Ruyi, who had always been calm and self-conscious, so she was so confused.

There was a dead silence in the room for a while, and a needle drop could be heard.

Ruyi's heart was fixed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
