"Father-in-law, this is my sister, I have never seen such a bustle, I want to come to see and know, and I hope that my father-in-law will be accommodating!"

After speaking, she stretched out her hand and shook it at the Jiang family. Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he meant, and hurriedly took a bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Cai Wei.

Cai Wei handed it to the little chamberlain, "A little heart, please have a cup of tea to warm up." I also hope that my father-in-law will say that the family of Commander Lu is here. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Lu's family." Seeing the wind and rudder, the little chamberlain had a smile on his face, and led them in through the corner gate.

The Jiang family only sent them to the gate of the East Palace, and they couldn't follow them in, seeing that their daughter had entered, the Jiang family couldn't close their mouths happily, and got into the carriage and went crookedly.

Following the little chamberlain through the courtyard, I don't know how long I walked, Cai Wei only felt a layer of sweat on her body, and it was hot, and she came to the front of a majestic palace.

Xiao Nei ordered them to wait under the Danqi, and he went up to report it.

Cai Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and after a long time, this East Palace is big enough.

She lifted her eyes and secretly looked around the scenery, and saw that the palace was covered with bright red lanterns, illuminating as if it were day.

In the hall, the lights are brilliant, and there is a faint sound of silk and bamboo.

It must be lively, she doesn't know if Lu Ying is here or not, and she doesn't know if King Cheng has arrived. But tonight will not be calm for her, and when the time comes, I don't know how the prince will attack her.

In my heart, it was like fifteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down, and in a panic, the little chamberlain who had gone in before hurriedly got down from the Danqi and said, "Girls, go in quickly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited!" ”

Cai Wei and Cai Ping hurriedly thanked them, lowered their heads and put up the danqi, and came to the door of the hall with small steps. A palace maid had already picked up the curtain and invited two people in.

Entering the door of the palace, there is a wide hall in front of you, and the huge wax with the thickness of your arms on both sides is burning brightly, and the whole hall is bright and bright, and it does not feel dull at all.

As soon as I entered the hall, a heat wave aroma rushed to my face, and the smoke made people intoxicated.

It's just that I don't smell a trace of fireworks, and there must be a dragon burning in the hall, just like a spring day.

In the end, the emperor's house is exquisite everywhere and prosperous everywhere.

Cai Wei sighed secretly and stepped inside.

Mu Caiping claimed to have grown up in Beijing, and she was also from a scholarly family, and she was invited by the Jiang family to teach her mother to learn the rules, she thought she could deal with it on such an occasion, but before she saw the big man, she had stage fright first.

She followed Cai Wei into the hall step by step, flustered like a deer colliding, so frightened that she almost ran away from the door.

The proud Kyoto people always pose a picture of her in front of Cai Wei, shrugging her shoulders and lowering her head, even the road is about to be unsteady, and her breathing is also short.

Cai Wei, who was walking in front, may have been in the palace and sat in prison again, although she was worried that the prince would not know what kind of stumbling block she would make, but as soon as she came in, she stabilized.

Although the road ahead is unpredictable, with Lu Ying by her side, she has nothing to fear.

The candles in the hall were brilliant, and the palace maids shuttled like butterflies, but they didn't hear any movement. There were quite a few people sitting in the last shadow, and they all seemed to be looking at them.

Cai Wei took a deep breath and walked over with her head held high. It was Mu Caiping, who strictly followed the rules, lowered her head and took small steps, and no one dared to look at it.

A palace maid had already come over, untied their cloaks for them, and hung them on a hanger in the corner.

squinted at Mu Caiping, and immediately didn't startle her eyeballs. Obediently, this girl is really ruthless enough, she only wears a silver and red gauze shirt inside, and her graceful posture is exquisitely outlined, but it is not thorough.

No wonder it's freezing so much outside.

Cai Wei couldn't understand, how could the Jiang family buy her such clothes? Isn't this obviously letting her daughter Israel serve others?

Actually, the Jiang family didn't know that this was Mu Caiping's own idea. At that time, Jiang took her to the ready-to-wear store to buy a silver-red brocade jacket, covered with a layer of silver-red cicada wing yarn, which was the most fashionable style in Beijing.

Mu Caiping, who had already been replaced, lied before leaving, and secretly pulled out the layer of cotton inside, and only wore the outer layer.

She is so bold, she just wants to take this opportunity to fight, maybe she can change the fate of her life.

Compared to her, Cai Wei wore two jackets, and there was already a layer of sticky sweat on her back, so she couldn't help but take off the silver gray gauze jacket that the Jiang family bought for her, and handed it to the palace maid, "I'm tired of hanging it up." ”

The palace maid pursed her lips and smiled, took it, and said nothing.

Cai Wei felt a lot more relaxed at this time, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

A chuckle suddenly floated over from the top, "Old Jiu, I heard that these two girls are from the Mu family of the Wine Sacrifice Mansion?" Which is your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door? ”

Cai Wei followed the voice and looked over, and saw a young man on his head, with a purple and gold crown on his head, wearing a black four-clawed dragon pattern round neck and right robe, to wear a white jade belt, with a slender face, clear eyebrows, a smile, and eyes staring at them with bright eyes.

Next to him is Lu Ying, dressed in a bright red bullfighting suit, also with a jade crown and hair, presumably too hot, and she is not wearing a hat.

He also looked at Cai Wei at this time, and the two of them looked at each other, and the slightest hint was entwined.

Cai Wei couldn't see any deep meaning in those deep eyes, so she only heard him reply with a smile, "Your Highness, the minister is a rough man, and he only knows that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring." The one on the left is the daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door. ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Cai Wei.

Prince Zhao Zhen looked at his hand, looked Cai Wei up and down several times, and then smiled, "Lao Jiu's vision is really, uh, different!" ”

He couldn't seem to think of any good words, so he had to use the phrase "different." ”

Cai Wei couldn't help but think: What does the prince mean by this? Is it that she can't be on the stage but is embarrassed to tell the truth?

Hehe, indeed, she doesn't look as good as a palace daughter today, and the tight jacket is still jujube red, which is really dirty.

was slandering, and suddenly heard the prince say something amazing, "Look at the one on the right, the appearance is not bad, since Lao Jiu has a relationship with the Mu family, why not include them in the mansion?" You go out all the year round, and there is no woman in the house, so you can enjoy the blessings of all people, and there is nothing you can't do. ”

The other princes and grandsons also laughed and echoed, "That's it, Lao Jiu." The one on the right is better-looking, so why not marry them all together? ”

Cai Wei looked at those who were smiling ill-intentionedly, but her face was still pale. These people are really nosy with rats, who does Lu Ying marry, what does it matter to them? I look forward to marrying a few more!

It's really salty and don't worry about eating radish!

Lu Ying looked at Cai Wei's little face with a knife hidden in her smile, but she was not in a hurry, but said, "The minister has face blindness, and I can't see which girl is better-looking." The minister only recognizes the life-saving benefactor! ”

"Lao Jiu is really a long-term lover." Zhao Zhen is also out of the question, this capable subordinate is really light on women, how can such a village girl be worthy of a jade-faced gentleman like Lu Ying?

It's a shame.

He glanced at Princess Gu'an, who was sitting opposite Lu Ying, and wanted to say something, but swallowed again.

Only then did Lu Ying spare time to point out Cai Wei, "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today!" ”

Cai Wei and Cai Ping hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

Zhao Zhen seemed to be in a good mood tonight, smiled and ordered them to get up, and ordered the palace people, "Give a seat!" ”

Cai Wei and Cai Ping thanked each other again, and then sat at the bottom.

They were originally girls who were not in the middle of the family, and it was already the prince's special kindness to be able to come to the East Palace.

If it weren't for Cai Wei saving the Thirteen Princes, and Lu Ying's wife who gave the dowry, and she had an incompatible relationship with the crown prince, where could she participate in such an occasion?

But if she comes, she will be safe, she Mu Caiwei has even entered the palace and even seen the emperor, how can she be afraid of such an occasion?

It was Mu Caiping below, who kept hanging her head, no one dared to look at it, a cautious look. However, this charming little appearance is quite attractive to men, and the eyes of several princes and grandsons always come from time to time.

Cai Wei knew that she was definitely not looking at her, firstly, she was already famous, and secondly, she was dressed like a village girl tonight.

So, she was more open-minded.

Anyway, when you come to this kind of place, you are nervous, but don't take yourself seriously.

It is estimated that there will be no one in this hall who can set their eyes on her except Lu Ying.

However, she had miscalculated this time, and before long, she felt that several eyes were also looking at her.

When she looked up, she saw a woman sitting on the right hand side of the prince, the woman was dressed in a palace dress embroidered with peonies, and the headdress she wore on her head was dazzling in the bright candle flames, so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.

She has a pink face and a powerful face, a pair of Danfeng eyes that are not angry and self-assured, and she doesn't seem to be an ordinary woman.

Could it be the crown princess?

But before she came, she had heard Xiao Wu Xiaoliu say that there were only side concubines and no main concubines in the East Palace, and this one was definitely not a side concubine. can wear a bright red outfit, how can it be a side concubine?

Well, this must be a royal woman.

Is that a princess or a princess?

She sat opposite King Cheng, and she estimated that she was a princess.

It's just that the princess looked at her vigorously, and there was a hint of contempt in her eyes, what did she mean?

Look down on her?

Still is......?

The woman's intuition made Cai Wei faintly feel that it was not very good.

In addition to looking at her, this princess also glanced at Lu Ying from time to time, I'm afraid there is a big secret here, right?

Cai Wei didn't expect such a figure to be at this birthday banquet. Now it's good, not only is the prince hostile to her, but there is one more rival in love.

It seems that if I want to eat and drink tonight, I'm afraid I can't.

She secretly weighed it, and she didn't have much worry, anyway, Lu Ying had something to say, "Everything has him!" "What else does she have to worry about.

They were the last to come in, and when they were seated, the birthday feast began.

The palace maids rushed in, holding golden trays, and filled the small tables in front of everyone.

A group of scantily clad dancers came in with the music, flicked their sleeves and twisted their waists, and for a while the posture in the hall was graceful, the music was ethereal, and it was beautiful.

Cai Wei had never seen so many beauties dancing together, so she couldn't help but look up, and her face was relaxed.

Lu Ying's eyes never left Cai Wei, and when she saw her dancing fascinated, she couldn't help crying and laughing. This girl can still be comfortable no matter what the occasion.

This woman dances, and she is so fascinated by it?

I don't know, I thought she had a habit of breaking her sleeves and splitting peaches.

Gu An's eyes kept following Lu Ying, and when he saw him staring at Cai Wei vigorously, he couldn't help but be jealous, and his face was a little ugly.

Zhao Zhen already knew the heart of this imperial sister, originally he intended to match Lu Ying and Gu'an, who expected that Lu Ying went to Suxian County, and was seriously injured, and after coming back, before he could open his mouth, he said that he had a favorite girl, and he started very quickly, and he had already settled the family matter.

In this way, he can't say anything.

In fact, if he was grateful for this woman's life-saving grace, he would be able to exalt her as a concubine. At that time, it was not a grievance for Gu'an to marry down. Who knew that he was actually married to be a wife, and no matter how much Gu'an liked it, he couldn't commit himself to being a concubine.

Now, it's blocking all the roads.

Even if Gu'an is wronged, there is no way.

Zhao Zhen also thought that the fairy-like characters made Lu Ying haunted by his dreams, and when he saw it today, it was really unexpected. It's just a village girl, dressed rustically, and her face is quite exquisite, but she is not a character who has captivated the country and the city.

It's a pity for Lu Ying's demonic appearance!

He sighed in his heart, looking at Gu An's aggrieved and jealous eyes, he was also very distressed.

He and Gu'an are compatriots of the same mother, the queen mother died early, and he and Gu'an are the closest people in the world.

This sister, he is all in pain.

But he really can't help with this man and woman.

Lu Ying had been in the army before, and she returned to Beijing for less than two years, and she was also a person who was not close to women. He has also hinted many times that his sister-in-law Gu'an likes him, but Lu Ying is like an unenlightened winter
