With Shang Fang's sword, it is much more convenient to enter the palace to find beads, and there is no need to "flatter" Helian and his son for this reason.

This trip to the palace was not in vain! Why didn't you have such good luck when you used to rob tombs?

Next is the beginning of the birthday banquet, and after a few words of greeting with everyone, Empress Dowager Xiao returned to Kangshou Palace.

After the birthday banquet, it is the time for everyone to move freely, the men get together to discuss national affairs, and the women can move around at will, but most of the female relatives will take advantage of this opportunity to compare with each other, or pull each other's relationships, whether it is for officials or politics, connections are crucial.

The people who can walk around the Puqing Hall are all extraordinary people, almost the entire power center of the Cloud Country, and the connections at this moment are even more important.

Gu Yue was not familiar with the way in the face of such a scene, and she didn't know the female dependents, and those female dependents, I don't know whether they were jealous or in awe, and few people took the initiative to greet her, so she became the most idle one in the Puqing Palace.

Seeing that Helian Yu was talking to the emperor, Helian Li and the crown prince didn't know where to go.

There's a great opportunity right in front of you, and you can't miss it.

She walked softly towards the outside of the Puqing Palace. Not long after walking, I saw Zi Yu and some palace maids waiting in the garden of Puqing Palace, today the Queen Mother held a birthday banquet, and all the subordinates and entourage could not enter, so they were all waiting in the garden.

Zi Yu saw Gu Yue come out, and immediately greeted him, "Niangniang, why did you come out?" ”

Gu Yue smiled slightly, "I don't know any of the people inside, it's boring, so I'll just come outside for a walk, you don't care about me, this palace is my first time, and it's more interesting to walk around than to stay inside." ”

"Then let Zi Yu accompany Niangniang, Zi Yu doesn't know anyone here, and it's also boring." Zi Yu smiled and scratched her head a little embarrassed.

If it was usual, she would definitely bring Zi Yu, but now she is going to be a "thief", the less one person knows, the less risk, her eyes turned, with a hint of cunning, and said with a smile: "You have to stay here, you don't have to do anything, just pay attention to what they say." ”

"Niangniang, what do you mean by this, why can't Zi Yu understand?"

Gu Yue took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "The people waiting in this garden are either the subordinates of the ministers of the court, or the entourage of the emperor's relatives, these people are all following the big people, and the content of their conversations may be useful to the Chenwang Mansion, so you can listen carefully, go back and tell me what you hear, and let me know about some of the trends in this court." ”

"That Zi Yu, just leave ......" Zi Yu responded a little reluctantly, but she was muttering in her heart: Niang Niang doesn't even care much about the affairs in the palace, how can she care about the affairs in the court?

Gu Yue is completely unfamiliar with the palace, from the time she came in to the present, she felt that she was going from one palace to another, either in a carriage or in a sedan chair, she didn't even know the direction at all, and now it was really too difficult to find a place where the beads were hidden.

Soon, he walked out of the Puqing Palace, and then walked all the way along the corridor, thinking in his heart: There should be a special warehouse for storing rare treasures in the palace, the same as the Chenwang Mansion, but where is the treasury like this? You can't be a thief and ask with gongs and drums, right?

After walking for about half an hour, she found that she was lost, full of high-walled compounds, circuitous corridors, exquisite pavilions, gorgeous and luxurious palaces, similar decorations and architectural styles, if you are not familiar with the environment, it is normal to get lost here.

If you get lost, you will be lost, but people who ask for directions abound, and you can still meet eunuchs and palace maids everywhere.

But the problem is that she doesn't know where she should go now. Do you want to go back to Puqing Palace? Did you finally come out and go back? It doesn't seem to make economic sense.

Just when she was wandering, two palace maids came over beside her, these two palace maids were holding food boxes, chatting while walking, only to hear one of the palace maids say: "Do you know? Our noble people made a sachet for the emperor, and the sachet was inlaid with a big bead. ”

"What's so strange about a bead? Our nobles also embroidered a sweat towel for the emperor, the golden dragon on the sweat towel is made of gold thread, the handiwork is good, and it is more exquisite than the garment bureau. The other palace maid also said weakly.

"Hmph, you don't know what kind of bead it is, it's more beautiful and bigger than the beads rewarded by the emperor, it was handed down by our Fugui ancestors, if it wasn't for the things given to the emperor, Fugui wouldn't have taken out this bead and used it."

"What about the preciousness of beads? What kind of treasures has the emperor not seen? Whether the emperor likes this sachet or not will not be because of the beads on it, but the person who gave the sachet, if the emperor likes the nobles, that is, there are no precious beads on the sachet, and the emperor will like it. ”

The palace maid sighed softly, "What you said is also reasonable, there are so many women in the palace, and there is only one emperor, it is not easy to get the emperor's love and favor, we have not seen the emperor for two whole months, and the sachet has long been ready, but there has never been a chance to send an emperor." ”

Another palace maid also sighed, "We are not the same nobles, so the sweat towels that have been embroidered with great effort have no chance to give them to the emperor, and the emperor has not come to us for more than a month." ”

"The status of a noble person is already very high in the harem, but it is still so difficult to see the emperor, speaking of which, the emperor is still the most favored queen, I heard that the queen dominates the emperor every day, and does not let the emperor have the opportunity to go to other concubines at all......"

"Be quiet, don't let the queen's ears and eyes hear, or we won't survive."

"That's right, let's go back quickly, don't chew your tongue here."

The two palace maids soon reached a fork in the road, and then they hurriedly separated.

As soon as he heard that there were big beads, Gu Yue immediately came to the spirit: Could it be that I am really lucky today, and everything is going well?

She quietly followed the palace maid, walked a few twists and turns of the stone path, and finally came to a place called the "Yehua Palace", but by the time she passed, the door of the main hall was closed.

There is the bead she dreams of in it, and after getting this bead, she can take the treasure she has collected back to be a tall rich woman, which is more nourishing than the days here.

After thinking about it, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, and a palace maid who had never seen it appeared in front of him.
