When the autumn wind rises in late August, it is the annual season for Jingzhao officials to enjoy chrysanthemums and crabs.

As the so-called "golden autumn chrysanthemum yellow crab is fat, holding chela to drink and nourish the marrow", from Jingtai Street to Shifu Street, it is filled with the fragrance of wisps of chrysanthemums and the umami of bursts of river crabs.

At such a time, the queen set up a banquet in the garden, and invited the wives, daughters-in-law, and daughters of the Wupin Beijing official family to go to enjoy the chrysanthemum crab, which means to live up to the good time and enjoy with the people.

Emperor Changtai also supported the queen's move, and said that he would also go to the banquet.

Shangyi is the most important wind direction, since the emperor has gone to participate in the chrysanthemum and crab feast, the Wupin Beijing officials and princes will naturally go to participate, so the scale of this banquet is huge and the specifications are very high, and the officials of the palace province will take care of the banquet details.

Of course, the Shen family is also among the banquets, not to mention the men's family, Shen Yu and Shen An's attach great importance to this banquet, because this is the first banquet held by the queen since the crown prince, and there are so many officials' wives, daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law to participate, it is not grand.

What's more, the emperor and the princes also participated, which was equivalent to the lineup of the state banquet, and they couldn't ignore it, so they were busy preparing clothes, jewelry, etc. for the banquet, and they didn't even have time to stop.

Shen Ning didn't care about this banquet at first, and when Shen Yu's and Shen An's were busy, she also leisurely invited a group of younger sisters to come to Qingzhuju to drink and taste crabs. It was the nonsense of Shen Yao and the others after the wine was drunk that made Shen Ning start to think deeply about this banquet, worried that he would ignore something.

Shen Yao said: "The queen's millennium festival has not passed, but a banquet is held to invite everyone to enjoy chrysanthemums and crabs." My mother said that the river crabs at the royal banquet were the lightest eight taels. ”

Yes, the Thousand Autumn Festival has not passed. Why is there a sudden chrysanthemum and crab viewing banquet? She remembered that the queen didn't eat river crabs, because she would get rashes all over her body if she ate them, and she couldn't taste crabs, so how could she have fun with the people?

Could it be that there is something inside this?

"I heard that all the princes will go, maybe it's for the prince to see the princess, after all, the Flower Dynasty Festival has not been held for several years, this time it's a different name." This is Shen Mi's statement.

Since she studied business with Shen Zeyuan, she has also thought about the problem a lot. After listening to Shen Mi's words, Shen Ning's ominous feeling in his heart was even worse.

The only adult unmarried prince is Shangguan Changzhi. Could it be that he has some plans? Thinking of this, Shen Ning frowned.

"What's so good about being a princess, if something happens to the prince, it will be miserable! I don't want to be like Zhao Yuhua, who lost his name for nothing! "This is Shen Mei drinking too much in her mouth.

Hearing this, Shen Wan, Shen Jia and the others, who were quite young, were shocked in their hearts, and their drunkenness also woke up a little.

Zhao Yuhua's matter left a great imprint on the hearts of these little girls, making these little girls mature a lot all of a sudden. Because Shen Zejing took Zhao Yuhua's death as homework, analyzed the truth of her death, and taught these little girls the relationship between family prosperity and personal value.

I believe that for a long time, these little girls have avoided people in the royal family.

Something happened to the prince? listened to Shen Mei's words. Shen Ning's brows frowned even more, could it be that Shangguan Changzhi planned to attack the second prince at this banquet? Will it be possible? If he did, what would he be doing? With so many people on such a big occasion, is it a bureau set up by the chief official?

These questions lingered in Shen Ning's heart, making her face more and more calm, Shen Mi and the others saw this, knowing that Shen Ning had something important in his heart, and quickly found a name and left Qingzhuju.

When Qiu Ge stepped into the room. What I saw was Shen Ning's condensed look. It seems that the girl has something to figure out again. Qiu Ge thought.

She didn't ask Shen Ning what she was thinking, but handed the secret letter in her hand to Shen Ning: "Girl." This is the urgent news from the palace from the grasshopper. ”

Urgent news at this time? Shen Ning was a little puzzled. The grasshoppers in the palace must not be used unless necessary. Because once it is used, it means that there is a chance of exposure, which is quite a dangerous thing!

She has said again and again that that person can't move! But why, is there news coming out now? Could it be that something happened in the palace?

Shen Ning was shocked, and quickly opened the letter and interpreted the contents: "The queen set up a banquet with the intention of the master. ”

"The queen set up a banquet for the master...... The queen set up a banquet with the intention of the master's ......" Shen Ning repeatedly recited these eight words.

What the grasshopper wanted to express, Shen Ning knew very well. It turned out that the direction she guessed before was completely wrong, the queen set up this banquet, not for the second prince, but for herself!

But what do you have to make the queen plot? The only possibility is the marriage with Shangguan Changzhi, it seems that Shangguan Changzhi used the opportunity of the queen's banquet to achieve the purpose of marrying the Shen family, it should be like this!

So, what will Shangguan Changzhi do at this banquet? What's the plan? This is what Shen Ning thought about repeatedly, and the grasshopper did not explain, which means that he also does not know.

What can Shangguan Changzhi do at the banquet so that I must marry him? That's the key! Shen Ning substituted himself into the role of Shangguan Changzhi, and with his understanding of his strategy in his previous life and present life, he quickly figured out what this key was.

"So that's the case......" After thinking about it, Shen Ning showed a disdainful smile, she didn't expect that he would think of doing such a thing! She really didn't expect it! It seems that her understanding of him in the past is really insufficient!

It seems that she has never really understood him, she knows that he is powerful and lustful, she knows that he is good at scheming and ruthless, she knows that he is forbearant and treacherous, but she does not know that he will be so despicable and shameless!

If it weren't for the grasshopper's warning, she wouldn't have gone in this direction at all; If she hadn't been reborn for a lifetime, she wouldn't have known that he would be so inferior; If she had only been a fifteen-year-old girl, maybe he would have succeeded!

It's a pity that she is no longer the confused and blind Shen Ning in her previous life. This time, she wants to treat others with her position, and ask him to reap the consequences. Make him pay for his next work!

As for who can laugh out loud in the end, then it depends on whose plan is better and who sets up the game more meticulously!

On the twenty-third day of August, it was the day of the queen's banquet. Located in the northwest of Jingzhao, the Royal Garden and Garden have been ushering in waves of carriages and horses since noon.

This time, the queen set up a banquet, starting from Shen Shi, first appreciating chrysanthemum tea, and then drinking wine and tasting crabs. Heyuan was originally the private garden of the eldest princess of Shuning, and after the town of the country, the eldest princess of Shuning rarely came to the garden in order to avoid seeing things and thinking about people.

Last year, the eldest princess of Shuhe asked Emperor Changtai to take back the Heyuan on the grounds of "failing to take care of the illness and avoiding the waste of the world's beautiful scenery"; At the right time, the prince fell ill. Emperor Changtai rewarded the queen with the garden, so the chrysanthemum crab feast will be held in the garden.

Shen Ning looked at the two big characters "Heyuan", which have the potential to swallow the world, and felt a little emotional.

The last time I saw these two words, it was more than three years ago, when she saved Chen Wanrou and made Shangguan Changzhi's treacherous plan to destroy the marriage between the second prince and the Chen family unable to succeed, and now she has to repeat similar things.

This garden has changed hands several times, but it has not moved to witness the things that continue to be staged in this garden, whether sad or happy. Repeatedly, there is nothing new under the sun, and it is true.

"Girl, my brother has come to report: Gongzi Ying has also come to the banquet, and he will find a way to bring all the sons and sons to that place when the time comes; In addition, the grasshopper has already prepared the little man of the Void Phoenix Pavilion. "It's about to enter the Heyuan, Qiu Ge can't help but be timid and worried.

The girl said that this plan has loopholes, and she can only take risks and be a little careless. The girl will be in danger. Think of it this way. Qiu Ge felt a cold sweat break out, this loophole. Can the girl plug it? This is dangerous, can the girl win?

When Shen Ning saw Qiu Ge like this, he knew that she was worried again. She smiled, but didn't say anything, these little emotions were left to Qiu Ge to overcome by herself.

As soon as you step into the garden, what catches your eye is the golden color everywhere, which is eye-catching. Originally, in order to cater to the atmosphere of appreciating chrysanthemums, the queen specially put chrysanthemums on the grass of the garden, which was particularly magnificent, and the grand scene of the noisy carriages and horses of the garden showed the extraordinary momentum of the royal family.

Along the way, most of the things he saw were golden hues, in contrast, Shen Ning still liked the uncarved natural scenery of the original Heyuan. Heyuan, it should be natural, how can it be so laid out?

Not long after, Shen Ning, Shen Yu and others came to the Penglai Hall where chrysanthemum tea was appreciated. The atmosphere in Penglai Hall is lively, and there are already many officials' wives among them.

Shen Ning saw a lot of familiar faces, the wife of Yuan Kezhen, the squire of the Ministry of Works, the wife of Xu Shenxing of the Ministry of War, etc., and Shen Ning also met Gong Xinci, the granddaughter of the married Imperial Doctor. Now that she is the Wei Gong family, she must have followed the Wei family to the banquet, and the two of them are also acquaintances, so they nodded with a smile and said hello.

There was a commotion, and the queen, accompanied by Concubine De, Concubine Mu, Concubine Li and Concubine Rong, came to Penglai Pavilion.

The queen was dressed in palace clothes, wearing a crown of nine phoenixes symbolizing the lord of the harem, and her face was not bad, facing a group of wives, daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law, she exuded the majesty of the queen with all her might, and compared the accompanying concubines, concubines and others.

I saw that she motioned to everyone to be exempt from courtesy, so she sat on the main seat of Penglai Pavilion and began to talk to everyone, listening, questioning, etc., which seemed very close to the people.

After half a cup of tea, the queen gently closed the tea lid, and Da Changqiu on the side said: "The queen has a purpose: all the ladies go to Yingzhou Mountain to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and the famous chrysanthemums from all over the country are placed on Yingzhou Mountain." ”

Da Changqiu's words were the meaning of the queen's mother, so the officials and wives left Penglai Hall with their daughters-in-law and went to Yingzhou Mountain to enjoy the famous chrysanthemum.

Of course, Shen Yu, Shen Ning and others also followed the crowd, admiring with great interest the varieties of famous sentences such as Shuai Qi and Shizhang Bead Curtain, sometimes admiring that Shuai Qi had as many as 26 petals, and sometimes being amazed by the slenderness of Shizhang Bead Curtain petals.

It was almost unitary before they came down from Yingzhou Mountain one after another, and at this time, the crab banquet was ready to begin.

As soon as Shen Ning, Shen Yu and the others came down from Yingzhou Mountain, they saw a palace maid come forward and said with a smile: "The slave maid has asked the lady and the girl to say goodbye." Girl, the county lord asked the slave to pick you up, and the county lord is waiting for you in the Qiyue Palace. ”

It turned out that this palace maid was a second-class palace maid next to the county lord of Rongping, and it seemed that her name was Qinglian, Shen Ning had seen her a few times in Zhongcui Palace, and she was also quite impressed.

"Mother, the Qiyue Hall is not far from the Penglai Palace, the daughter and the county lord can go directly at that time, and they should be able to return before the banquet starts. Mother and sister-in-law should go first. Listening to Qinglian's words, Shen Ning thought about it and said so.

Shen Yu knew that the county lord of Rongping had always been good friends with his daughter, and when he saw Shen Ning with a smile on his face, he didn't worry about it, so he told her a few words, and told Qiu Ge to take good care of Shen Ning, not too late, so he left with Shen An and the others.

Seeing Shen Yu and the others leaving, Shen Ning couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and there was a clear smile in his eyes; Qiu Ge, on the other hand, couldn't help but shake a few times; The palace maid Qinglian only bowed her head respectfully and did not speak.

A group of three people, each with their own thoughts, walked towards the Qiyue Palace.
