Qi Hui was confident and comforting, and said happily: "I won't appear in front of people, so naturally I can't rely on me, don't you remember?" Except for my friends and the guards arranged by Shifeng in front of the door, there are only a handful of people in this palace who have really seen me. ”

Xiangxiang also remembered this, and he must have thought that since few people in the palace had seen him, he couldn't identify Qi Hui's doing, not to mention that he didn't come forward.

Qi Hui smiled: "If the prince can calculate, I will definitely be counted in front of him, I have secretly watched him for more than ten years, but he has just met me." I did all this so that I could take you and my mother away, how could I let myself have an accident? ”

"Even though I'm worried, you have to be careful." Xiangxiang gave a bright smile and asked, "After the guards are added in front of the door tomorrow, if the mother asks me what happened, should I tell her?" ”

Qi Hui thought for a moment and nodded.

In fact, the next day, it was a palace flower viewing banquet presided over by Concubine Li, attended by the emperor and the crown prince. In a few days, the Imperial City will spend a long winter in the snow, when the Imperial Garden is almost inaccessible, and this time it will be lively until the beginning of spring next year.

The emperor already loves to enjoy banquets, Concubine Li likes it, and at the moment of the prince's wedding, today is a banquet for the princess and the Mo family, and the ministers of civil and military affairs and family members are accompanied, and the children of the Pang family are all present.

The daughters of the noble mansion came to greet Concubine Li, the princess has not yet married, she is still dressed as a girl, standing at the head of the group with a small appearance, and the daughters of all the families behind her are older than her, and she looks more and more like a child, without grace. Everyone gave Shi Ran salute, and after the establishment was settled, the autumn scenery seemed to see the spring in the garden, and the young girls stood together, which was really dazzling.

Concubine Li sighed that the years were easy to grow old, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, but she looked down at the three princes in her arms, and couldn't help laughing: "When my son grows up and marries a wife, these beautiful ladies are also women and mothers, I don't know which child is blessed to be the daughter-in-law of the palace." ”

The young ladies were still standing under their seats, but Concubine Li was talking to herself to make her son happy, so arrogant and rude, obviously not taking them and their family seriously. The girls of other families are raised in the deep boudoir and do not care about the world, and they dare not care about it because of the dignity of Concubine Li, but the daughter of the Pang family is different, and Qianyou has always known that Concubine Li lives dependent on their Pang family, without the support of her father, why is Concubine Li here today.

It's a pity that the court etiquette is bound, even if she is absent-minded, even if she despises Concubine Li's rudeness, she has to be steady and generous, showing a noble temperament with a smile and a smile, she must do and do all this in order to get the opportunity to enter and leave the house on weekdays, so no matter how dissatisfied she is, she is unwilling to sacrifice her freedom to resist an ignorant woman.

When Concubine Li finally remembered these young ladies, she smiled proudly: "Let's all go back and sit, the crown princess is here, and sit with the palace." ”

The daughter of the Mo family can't help but panic, Concubine Li has always hated the queen and hated the Mo family, the world knows, how can Concubine Li be kind to the future princess, although she is young, the family has not neglected her upbringing, and she can still distinguish between good and evil here. Stunned for a while, the other girls gradually dispersed and returned to their parents, no matter how petite the princess was, it became more and more abrupt.

Concubine Li was really angry, her phoenix eyes were angry, and she said coldly: "Princess, this is because the palace is not spacious enough, do you want the palace to move out of the place and let you sit in this position, and the palace and the third highness move to the side corner?" ”

The crown princess was trembling, she was like an eleven-year-old child, how could she know how to deal with the vicious Concubine Li.

"Niangniang, you have the best flowers here, the courtiers haven't talked to you for a few days, I'm afraid that the princess is worried about the prince, although you are good to enjoy the flowers here, but you can't see His Royal Highness the prince, it is better to let the courtiers accompany you." But seeing Pang Qianyou stepping forward, her words and deeds were upbringing, and she didn't see the impetuous atmosphere of the usual wind and fire, she really couldn't stand the princess trembling, so she "sacrificed" herself righteously.

Concubine Li saw the daughter of the Pang family come forward, it was not easy to save face, after all, she relied on the prime minister to live, even if she was dissatisfied with Pang Jun in her heart, for the sake of her son and her own future, she had to swallow her anger. Treat Qianyou, naturally very polite, warmly welcome her to her side, and let the palace maid re-send wine and pastries.

The crown princess stood in place, Concubine Li didn't let go, she didn't know where to go, she couldn't help but raise her head to take a look, just looked at Qianyou, Qianyou glanced at her, and asked her to leave. At this moment, there were also female dependents of the Mo family who stepped forward and retreated with the crown princess.

Concubine Li glanced at it disdainfully, but asked Qianyou: "I thought that you could marry into the East Palace, and our mother and son would be able to be companions in the future, but I didn't expect that I would find such a little girl who is difficult to get into the elegant hall." He hugged the third prince and said, "It's a pity that my son is young, since you were a child, I regret it, if I can have a good daughter-in-law like you, this palace will be content." ”

With a light smile, she said: "The courtiers are blessed, and there must be a rich and noble daughter, who will come to serve under the knees of the mother." ”

At this time, the dance music sounded, everyone looked at the stage, and Concubine Li no longer entangled Qianyou, and Qianyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But everyone else danced in the stands, only her eyes were full of wandering, and in the past, Qi Hui disguised as a guard was occasionally seen mixed in the crowd, so that every time she entered the palace for a banquet, this became her only pleasure. Today, too, she didn't care about those pompous and flattering songs and dances, and was still in the crowd, carefully looking for Qi Hui.

I don't know if Qi Hui didn't come at all, or if he was hiding more and more hidden, after Qianyou looked at him again and again, he hadn't seen it again in the past two years.

"Good!" The three princes suddenly clapped their hands and applauded, so that they were startled, and finally glanced at the stage, but saw that the dancers were not like the usual clothes fluttering, at this moment everyone was holding swords in both hands and was heroic, and the soft swords made a crisp sound, and with the posture jumping, the silver light was very dazzling. Children like to be lively the most, and the third prince stood up from his mother's arms, pulled out his little dagger, and said to Concubine Li decently: "Mother, I can also dance with a sword." ”

The three princes couldn't tell the difference between the long sword and the dagger, and the child's words were unscrupulous and pitiful, and everyone laughed for a while, even the emperor laughed out loud, Concubine Li was embarrassed and proud, so she hugged her son and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this child has grown up, you choose a few generals with superb martial arts and teach him to ride a horse and shoot arrows." ”

This is a serious matter, but the emperor frowned as soon as he encountered a serious matter, and when he saw that Concubine Li was disappointed, he immediately lowered his face, and called the beauty who had been favored recently under the seat to his side, and simply left Concubine Li and ignored it, just hugging the beauty to be happy.

Concubine Li retreated abruptly, seeing that Qianyou was still by her side, she was even more embarrassed and annoyed, and Qianyou was also uncomfortable, only looking forward to the sooner the banquet ended, the better.

At the end of the song, the dancers bowed down to salute, and everyone retracted their gazes, or drank or talked, as if no one cared about the people on the stage anymore, when they suddenly heard a scolding: "Faint king! Everyone looked up in response, but saw a soft sword approaching the emperor, everyone was frightened, and the emperor grabbed the beauty around him and blocked it, but the long sword did not have full strength to hurt people, and before it pierced the beauty's chest, it fell to the ground.

And this time, the banquet was suddenly chaotic, and before the guards could rush in to escort the car, many masked people poured out of some corner, rushing to the front of the palace with swords in hand.

The emperor started, the left and right were the prince and Concubine Li, since those assassins were arranged by the prince, naturally they would not hurt him, most of the people ran to the emperor and Concubine Li, Concubine Li's face was discolored, and she was desperately protecting her son and shouting "escort", Qianyou was pushed to the side, as if he had knocked down his leg and couldn't move, and he couldn't run away if he wanted to run at this time.

Finally, the guards came to escort him, but the assassin was red-eyed, the guards gradually lost their opponents, and the third prince was taken away by the assassin from Concubine Li's arms, and Concubine Li's screams shook people's hearts.

Qianyou was stunned, and suddenly saw a masked man also rushing towards her, carrying her out of the crowd, Qianyou was stunned at first, and when he came back to his senses, he struggled with punches and kicks, scolding: "Let go of me, wait for my brothers to arrest you, I want you to look good!" ”

But Qianyou was not in danger, the masked man took her to an open place, and the people of the Pang family in the distance had already rushed over to recapture Qianyou, she even grabbed her legs with both hands and kicked indiscriminately, inadvertently slamming at the assassin's face, her slender fingers crossed the masked black cloth, the black cloth was hooked off, and the familiar handsome face came into view, and Qianyou suddenly stiffened.

Qi Hui frowned slightly, quickly covered his face, and saw that the people of the Pang family were close in front of him, so he was relieved to leave Qianyou and quickly blended into the crowd, even Qianyou, who was staring at him, couldn't find him in an instant, Qi Hui came and went without a trace, making her even wonder if she had seen it wrong just now.

The eldest brother had already arrived and carried Qianyou to a safe place, Mrs. Pang was so frightened that she was scared, and she tried to check whether her daughter was injured, and when she saw that she was sluggish and stiff, she thought she was scared out of illness, and said anxiously: "Mother is here, You'er, wake up." ”

Mrs. Pang slapped her daughter in the face a few times, a slight stinging pain brought Qianyou back to her senses, and when she saw her mother by her side, she suddenly softened and nested into her mother's arms.

She timidly looked at the chaotic scene, but unfortunately she could never see Qi Hui again, and then she was arranged to leave the palace first, but she was worried about Qi Hui's safety, and kept asking her family about the situation in the palace, for fear that Qi Hui would be hurt.

And as soon as the matter in the imperial garden came out, sure enough, there were guards who were under martial law all over the imperial city, and the front of the cold palace was no exception, but the people who came were all people arranged by Shifeng on weekdays.

When Concubine Xian heard the movement, she was inevitably worried, even if she was sick, she struggled to ask Xiang Xiang where Qi Hui went, Xiang Xiang simply said what would happen today, and comforted Concubine Xian: "He will be fine." ”

Concubine Xian muttered: "Your Majesty, will you really die?" ”
