209.Hongmen Banquet (1)

This time, An Wanqiu continued to pull Luo Ge and said, "What does it mean for Niangniang to go to see the snow scene now?" It's better to drink a glass of warm wine and eat some snacks in the Qingqiu Pavilion of the concubine. ”

An Wanqiu asked the palace maid to prepare as she spoke. Looking at her diligent movements, Luo Ge had probably guessed the answer she wanted. Now that the answer is known, she is not in a hurry to leave. followed An Wanqiu back to the previous chair.

"You said you have warm wine and snacks here, why haven't you seen it in this palace?" Luo Ge asked in a slightly reproachful tone.

"These things have always been prepared in the palace, but I just thought about it and was afraid that the mother would say that the concubine was not sensible."

Luo Ge smiled and said, "In that case, what about now?" ”

"I've called someone to prepare it, and I'll be here right away."

Looking at An Wanqiu's flattering look, Luo Ge was secretly happy in his heart. This sense of surprise has not been experienced by Luo Ge for a long time. After all, it is only in the unfamiliar people who are planning to play that Luo Ge will experience it obviously.

"In that case, just wait." After Luo Ge finished speaking, he didn't sit, but got up, and then began to observe around the Qingqiu Pavilion.

An Wanqiu's heart, which had been put down, suddenly lifted it again. That's because in her palace, there is a secret that no one can know - she has always kept the silk silk secretly passed with the queen in a seemingly inconspicuous box. But she knew that in the face of a smart person like Luo Ge, she would definitely be able to find out at a glance, so she was always worried.

However, her worries were unnecessary, because even if Luo Ge found out, she would not debunk these things. In fact, this seemingly inconsequential box is placed in an obvious position. Luo Ge could see it at a glance. So she got up just to confirm the location of the box.

An Wanqiu has been watching Luo Ge's every move very anxiously. After the warm wine snack came up, Luo Ge turned around and sat back in his chair. At this time, An Wanqiu's heart also fell. She turned her head and looked at the box again. Luo Ge was even more sure that this position was unusually prominent from the fact that the box that did not match the style of the whole room had a special purpose.

The two drank wine and tasted snacks. Silent. It wasn't until there was nothing left in his seat that Luo Ge got up and left.

Looking at the back of Luo Ge leaving, An Wanqiu asked the palace maid beside her, "Do you think Concubine De can see the box in this palace?" ”

"Back to the mother, the slave thinks no. If there really is, Concubine De Niangniang will definitely talk to Niangniang about something. But Concubine De didn't talk to you all the time just now. ”

"Not talking doesn't mean there's nothing. Hongu wanted to know if she had just taken a second look at the box. Because Hongu has always followed her. ”

"Back to Niangniang, it is estimated that Concubine De didn't even look at the box, but just glanced at it and passed."

"Since you have watched it just now and found these actions of Concubine De, then the palace can be somewhat relieved."

An Wanqiu put away her worries and returned to the palace.

Luo Ge, who returned to Zhaochun Palace, saw Han Yu in his room.

"What's the matter with the mother?" Han Yu came very quickly.

"Today, when I went to Mrs. Qiu's Qingqiu Pavilion, the palace found a box that was different from the style of the entire Qingqiu Pavilion."

"What does it look like? Can you describe it? ”

"The whole style of Qingqiu Pavilion should be something vulgar and glamorous according to An Wanqiu's. But the box was a little too delicate. It should be made of fine pear blossom wood. The color is also not cheesy, it is ivory white. The box was locked and tightly sealed. If this palace is not mistaken, this box should have something to do with the two people in the palace. ”

"Niangniang is talking about the queen and Mrs. Qiu?"

"Yes." Luo Ge nodded, "So, tonight, this palace hopes that you can find a way to enter the Qingqiu Pavilion, and then open the box and copy the contents of the contents." One serving is fine, and more is of little use. ”

"Whoa." Han Yu answered.

"Also, Hongu wants to ask you if it is risky for you to go on this mission?"

"According to what Niangniang said, the subordinates guessed that the place where Mrs. Qiu should live was in the small building. And the box should be downstairs in the main hall. ”

"Yes."

"That probably requires Niangniang to find a way to control Mrs. Qiu. After all, you need to light the lamp to copy things, and your subordinates are afraid of being discovered. ”

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ge said, "You can go after nightfall, and the rest will be arranged by the palace." ”

"Whoa."

After Han Yu left, Luo Ge thought for a moment and then called Yun Lan again.

"What's the matter with the mother looking for a slave?"

"You go to the warehouse and see if there is any good wine in the warehouse and it is warm. Then find the imperial dining room to prepare a few good dishes. While it was still dawn, I found someone to invite Mrs. Qiu over for dinner, the reason was that the palace wanted to thank her for the afternoon wine. ”

In the face of Luo Ge's sudden invitation, An Wanqiu fell, and after a while, her heart rose again.

"You go back and tell Concubine De that the concubine must arrive on time." After An Wanqiu responded, she asked Yun Lan to be sent out. Then he turned to his personal palace maid and said, "Yanran, what do you think Concubine De wants to go to this palace?" ”

This Yanran is the palace maid who appeared outside the palace gate that day and opened the door for Luo Ge, and her real identity is not the palace maid. She was actually a helper that An Xiu sent for An Wanqiu.

"According to what Niangniang said before, she didn't see the same as Niangniang's box, so she may be looking for Niangniang to continue to inquire about the situation, or she is really just thanking Niangniang for the pot of wine in the afternoon."

"If you just say thank you for that pot of wine, this palace really doesn't believe it."

"Then she is most likely looking for the mother to find out the news, but what she wants to hear is still to be determined. Because of the Queen Mother's incident, Niangniang's words are mixed true. Even if she goes to confront the Queen Mother, there will be no big problem, but as a smart person, it is impossible for Concubine De to go to the Queen Mother. ”

"Then according to what you say now, it is very likely that she is listening about the people around this palace who may become show girls."

"Very likely." Yanran agreed, "But there is one more thing I hope Niang Niang will pay attention to." Although the box did not attract his attention, it did not mean that the box was not dangerous, so he still hoped that Niangniang could transfer the box and burn all the contents inside. ”

Regarding Yanran's proposal, An Wanqiu didn't want to hear it at all. She waved her hand indifferently and said, "That's how much you worry about." Since she didn't care or take a second look, there really wasn't any danger. Let's talk about everything when I come back after the main palace goes to the appointment today. ”

An Wanqiu went out after finding someone to change her clothes.

Luo Ge thought that An Wanqiu would not come at first, but it was not until Wan Jinfeng outside the door reported that An Wanqiu had entered Zhaochun Palace, and she got up and said to Yun Lan: "It seems that this Mrs. Qiu is not so smart or so stupid. She at least knew about the banquet she had come to the palace. ”

"Then do you need someone to inform Han Yu?"

"No, he has his own sense of proportion, and now all the people in the entire palace are business as usual. She shouldn't care too much about one less person or one more person in Zhaochun Palace. After all, there are so many people in the main palace, and there are one or two people who are not worthy of it. And all that everyone has to do, including the main palace, is to leave Mrs. Qiu behind until Han Yu returns. ”

"Whoa."

After Luo Ge made all the preparations, he went directly to drag An Wanqiu.

When An Wanqiu came to the main hall of Zhaochun Palace, Luo Ge had not yet arrived. So she looked around carefully. Looking at the layout of the entire palace that was twice as large as her own small pavilion, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and then whispered alone: "It has always been said that Zhaochun Palace is better than other palaces. I didn't expect there to be so many good ones. ”

Luo Ge, who had just arrived at the door, heard her sigh, smiled and entered the door and asked, "I don't know what Mrs. Qiu is talking about." ”

Listening to Ge Luoge's voice, An Wanqiu immediately turned around and saluted, "The concubine has seen Niangniang." ”

"You don't have to be so polite. At noon today, the palace is still drinking with you. It's only nighttime, and you're so polite. ”

"The number of etiquette in the palace is essential, don't joke about concubines."

"Hongu is not joking with you. Ate your pot of wine at noon. Now this palace will return you a pot of wine. ”

"Don't say it, this word is too tormenting for concubines."

"What can't be said? This is the matter between you and me, borrowing and repaying, asking and repaying. Luo Ge's words are particularly important.

Looking at the smile on her face, An Wanqiu couldn't guess what it meant. I can only pile up smiling faces and nodding my head.

"If you're here, take a seat. After a while, the good wine from the main palace will be brought up and you will taste it with you. When the time comes, tell the main palace whether your wine is good or the wine of this palace is delicious. ”

Before the wine was drunk, An Wanqiu immediately said: "It must be Niangniang's wine that is delicious, and the concubine's palace is just the wine sold by some ordinary wine shops in the eastern capital." ”

"That's what you're saying is wrong." Luo Ge shook his head, "The wine in this ordinary liquor shop also has a different taste. Besides, the palace heard that there is a small wine shop in the eastern capital. There are only a few jars of wine sold every year, and not many are sold. In order to ensure their own reputation. The people who make this wine are all old people who have been passed down from generation to generation. There is no comparison with the ordinary liquor store. ”

"The wine shop that Niangniang said, the concubine knows." An Wanqiu was interested in Logan's topic, and now she just wants to show off in front of Luo Ge and show her greatness. Therefore, she said in an extremely proud tone: "That wine shop is in the old alley in the east of the city." His name is Wan Xiang. It is said that the name means that the jar is open, and it can be smelled even from thousands of miles away. Although I don't know if this is true or not, but the wine in the wine shop, the concubine had the honor to taste it once. The feeling of the entrance and the mellow taste make the concubine unforgettable. ”

"According to what you say, the wine of this Wanxiang wine shop is hard to find?"
