Summoned to the palace?

Qi Shu sat on the couch, put down the scroll he was holding, and looked at Xiao Tao who was holding a formal suit with a little surprise.

The so-called formal clothes are the clothes worn by all the relatives of the official eunuchs when they enter the palace to meet the royal family, and they basically have uniform requirements.

Usually, there is no chance to wear formal clothes, only the royal family and nobles and even His Majesty and the Queen summon to wear it.

"Yes, Miss, someone came to the palace, saying that His Majesty had summoned him, and the lord was entertaining his father-in-law in the front hall, so hurry up and dress up, and the lord will tell the slave and maid quickly."

Having said that, Qi Shu had a momentary turmoil, but he tried his best to calm down in a panic.

"Well, in that case, let's hurry up." Qi Shu got up from the couch.

The clothes are embroidered with green bamboo on a white background, the sleeves are wide, the placket is embroidered with gold thread, the earrings are red coral beads, and there are two pink blood-colored jade bracelets on the wrists, which looks simple and elegant with a little delicate feeling.

Xiao Tao usually has a broken mouth, but her skills are quite good, and her swallowtail bun is delicate and dignified.

A little powder was applied to Qi Shu's face, his lips were lightly touched with some red sand, and the thin willow eyebrows looked even more delicate and pitiful, but it really looked like he had just recovered from his illness, and he had lost a lot of weight.

After getting it done, Xiao Tao walked out and explained some precautions to the attendants outside.

Qi Shu, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and finished his makeup, looked at himself in the bronze mirror for a long time, and at the end, he suddenly picked up the eyebrow pencil and put an extra stroke on the tear mole under the corner of his left eye, making the mole a little bigger, but it didn't seem to be particularly big.

It's just just right, enough to make people care.

Finally, he put down his eyebrow pencil and stood up and walked towards the door......

When he sat in the sedan chair, Qi Shu smiled, crossed his hands on his chest, dressed neatly, his hair was delicate, and his etiquette and posture were impeccable. Gonggong Li looked a little satisfied, it was a good one, but how did he be born in this mansion that makes it difficult to explain?

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, I hope you will take care of it a lot, and take care of Qifu a lot." Qi Shangshu said and hurriedly stuffed something into Gonggong Li's arms, shut up and didn't talk about Qi Shu, and from time to time he also aimed at the fierce warning eyes, signaling Qi Shu to be smarter, usually forget about being presumptuous at home, don't go to the palace and make a big fuss, if the Qi family is implicated, he will definitely pick her skin!

Gonggong Li saw the appearance of both father and daughter in his eyes, and couldn't help but dislike this snobbish Qi Shangshu, he was still a second-grade minister, how could he be like a local dog raised by his nephew, and he didn't know where His Majesty favored him.

"Let's go." Saying that, Gonggong Li didn't even bother to give Qi Shangshu a look, so he took Qi Shu away.

In addition to announcing the eldest lady of the Qi family, His Majesty also announced that General Fang would go together, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, the holy will is unpredictable, he naturally doesn't dare to talk much, and he only dares to think about it in his heart.

The three people hurried to the palace.

Gonggong Li first went to Fang Jie's General's Mansion, and then went to Qi Shangshu's Mansion.

As for why there are three lines of people, there is also a group of people who are Ning Ze.

How could His Majesty miss such an important matter as His Majesty's summoning of Qi Shu? In order to avoid a second marriage, Ning Ze decided to strike first, and generally the courtiers were not allowed to enter the palace casually if they were not summoned, except for Ning Ze.

He has a special order, and he can ask to see him directly, and he can come whenever he wants. So Ning Ze excused himself by not seeing His Majesty for a long time, and wanted to invite His Majesty to play a game.

Those who can invite His Majesty to play against him are naturally extremely proud of his chess skills, Ning Ze is the number one in Shaoliang City, and his chess skills are superb, he is only twenty years old, and many chess masters have been defeated by him.

Coincidentally, Fang Jie and Ning Ze met at the gate of this palace, and they looked at each other without speaking first.

Fang Jie felt a little embarrassed, after all, the last time they met, King Guanghan simply took his ex-fiancée Qi Shu away from the front of the General's Mansion.

The palace people summoned King Guanghan to go in first, and left Fang Jie to wait in place. Although Fang Jie arrived first, he was overtaken by others, and his face couldn't help but be a little sneering, and the eunuch guards around him looked ahead with expressionless condensation, as if they were used to such scenes.

The palace people led Ning Ze around the main hall where His Majesty usually did things, turned the side hall, and came all the way to the imperial garden. The huge imperial city palace, countless pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and flower beds, only this imperial garden is just such one.

It's not that you can't build another garden, but this garden is the favorite place of the first empress when she was alive, the pattern of three mountains and two islands, a pavilion in the middle of the lake, the lake water is clear and blue, and the flowers are planted around the river bank at four o'clock, and there are different scenery in each season.

The huge flower beds are all around this lake to open up and serve, or in order to better divert water to build this lake, this lake is called Qingxin Lake, the pavilion is the lotus pavilion, is the name of the first empress herself.

Therefore, whenever His Majesty misses the first empress, he will come here to sit and sit, and no one is allowed to disturb him, not even the most favored Princess Bao'an.

So when Ning Ze stepped into the Imperial Garden, he stopped, and said with some hesitation: "Father-in-law, is this the way to the Imperial Garden?" Your Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to disturb at will, is there anything wrong with it? "I grew up in this deep palace when I was a child, and every step in it was stepping on the tip of the knife, and Ning Ze knew it well.

The prince turned around and smiled and said, "Can King Guanghan still trust the Sprinkle family?" Your Majesty is enjoying flowers and eating tea in the Lotus Pavilion, and your Majesty's interest today is very good, and you can rest assured that you are invited to go. ”

explained the reason, presumably this King of Guanghan still doesn't understand? There are occasional palace maids passing by, even if they have any bad intentions, they don't dare to use it in this blue sky and white day, I have to say that this King of Guanghan's mind is really meticulous.

Ning Ze nodded, and then continued to walk forward. Sure enough, when I walked to the lake, I found that the pavilion in the center of the lake was full of shadows, as if there were three or two people standing there.

At the other end, Qi Shu also arrived at the gate of the palace without hurry, of course, she was not embarrassed to open the curtain in the sedan chair to see the situation outside, thinking that when she arrived at the place, this Gonggong Li would naturally remind her. I don't know if it's her delusion, but I always feel that there is a faint feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the top in my heart, and I feel inexplicably heavy.

Qi Shu couldn't see Gonggong Li, so he could naturally see it, and he saw the group of people in black standing at the gate of the palace, led by General Fang, who was not wearing armor but formal clothes.

"General Fang must have been here for a long time, right? I can't keep up with my feet after sprinkling home. It seems that he deliberately raised his voice to say to Qi Shu in the back, and it was extremely loud in a quiet environment, and Qi Shu wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it.

The square knot is on the outside.

Fang Jie, who turned around, saw that it was Gonggong Li, who had come to his mansion in the morning to announce His Majesty's dictation, and said with a slightly cramped smile on his dark face: "Gonggong Li." "Just returned from the battlefield, Fang Jie is not very suitable for returning to the life of the court, and the days in the field make him more or less nostalgic.

"Wait a minute, the general will go in and report that the person summoned by His Majesty is already waiting outside the palace gate." Because the sedan chair stopped on the ground, Qi Shu didn't come out of it, and of course she wasn't very reluctant to see Fang Jie.

After Gonggong Li finished talking to Fang Jie, he turned around and returned to Qi Shu's sedan chair, and did not step forward to open the sedan curtain, but walked close and whispered: "Miss Qi will wait for the Sprinkle family for a while, and the Sprinkler family will come to pick you up later." ”

The deaf people present could hear the words "Miss Qi", and everyone had some different colors on their faces when they heard the words.

Fang Jie's face froze in an instant, was Qi Shu inside?

Everyone knows that in this Shaoliang City, Qi Shangshu only has a daughter, and the concubines are not qualified to show their names.

"Yes, father-in-law." In a gentle and soft voice, Qi Shu responded calmly, and there was no joy or anger in his tone.

Recently, this rumor has spread so loudly, and they, the guards and eunuchs who don't leave the palace, have heard about it more or less, and guessed that the entanglement between the young childhood sweetheart and the foreign princess is more exciting than those market novels.

Sure enough, it was Qi Shu.

Fang Jie suddenly didn't dare to look around, he just wanted to find a crack to get into.

Although he married Princess Nalan on the emperor's order, he first betrayed and had a personal affair with someone else, and he owed her everything. Thinking of Qi Shu's eyes staring at him at the wedding that day, the thin and cute little face, and the thin and petite body. Somehow, Fang Jie's heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water, and his face was soft, looking at the boxy red sedan chair. The woman inside was obsessed with him and complained about him, how could he not live up to it anymore.

"Shu'er..."Fang Jie took two steps forward and shouted ambiguously in the direction of the sedan curtain.

The eyes of the surrounding palace people are about to fall, this, doesn't this mean that General Fang has just married the princess as a bride? How can you be tender and sweet to this eldest lady of the Qi family, is it possible that this knot is still disconnected from this eldest lady of the Qi family?

As if hearing something unbelievable, Qi Shu almost didn't laugh, she heard it right, right? At the gate of this palace? Fang Jie called her Ashu? Well? On the day of the wedding of the general Fang Fang, she had clearly cleared up the relationship between the two, and since then the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with each other! Now this is even more vicious than that slanderous word.

"Shu'er, it's me, Fang Jie." Thinking that the people in the sedan chair didn't hear their own shouts, Fang Jie repeated patiently, His Majesty summoned him today must be for the end of that farce rumor, if Qi Shu is willing to marry him as a side room, then this Shaoliang City can return to its former calm.

Qi Shu's palms unconsciously tightened his sleeves, his palms were pinched red by his fingertips, and he bit his lower lip and refused to respond.

Fang knot, Fang knot, do you think my Qi Shu is a soft persimmon? Leave it to you to knead and pinch flat?

Many palace people are watching the show, speculating whether these two will stage a scene of lovers meeting at the gate of this palace? That's too blatant, but today's move by General Fang is indeed a bit frivolous, calling an unmarried woman so intimately in front of outsiders, which is really bad for the reputation of his daughter's family.

More or less some whispers spread, Fang Jie couldn't help but feel a little anxious, what's going on, why shouldn't Qi Shu be him? At that time, when the two of them were studying and reading together, he called her, she had always answered him sweetly, was she still angry about the wedding?

It is also to blame Ah Shu for his own impulsiveness, before returning to Shaoliang, he had already thought about it, and after marrying the princess, he would choose a good day to marry Qi Shu, but when he came back, he was entangled in various affairs, and his grandmother was not very willing, so Fang Jie temporarily let it go, planning to wait for the limelight to pass before marrying Qi Shu.

Unexpectedly, Qi Shu couldn't hold his breath and ran to the house to make trouble, which messed up his plan, in fact, he still had affection for her.
