Chapter 227: Calling the Shots
Song Junming, who had just entered the court as an official, naturally participated in the palace banquet for the first time, but he sat at the outermost end.
Naturally, he had already heard that Hua Jin would also participate in the palace banquet this time, and he also learned that there was a Concubine Jing in the palace who was her aunt and grandmother whom she had never met.
I'm still worried about her, I don't know how she is doing when she enters the palace for the first time, will she be nervous?
But seeing him sit down with the emperor, the queen mother and the concubine Jing, Song Junming was relieved.
Song Junming was sitting on the periphery at this time, unable to see her face clearly, and could only watch her from a distance and raise a glass from time to time.
Sitting in the distance, she would feel a little lonely just like him, wouldn't she?
He wished he could drink with her.
With some astringency in his heart, Song Junming set his eyes on the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
I can't help but think of how this Ninety-Five Venerable praised his talent and called him the future pillar of the Great Chu State in the palace examination that day.
However, in just half a year, this Ninety-Five Venerable may have forgotten himself, right?
Although there is a loss and a hesitation, Song Junming only collects this bitterness in the wine and drinks it all.
He's still young, he's talented.
As long as he works hard, he will one day become a supreme minister.
As long as he has a heart, he will definitely be able to marry the girl he loves.
What Song Junming didn't expect was that although he was looking at the scenery, he was also appreciated as a landscape.
What he didn't expect was that there had been people hiding in the dark to watch him quietly in the Jinluan Hall that day, and had already secretly agreed.
A full moon hangs high in the sky, and everyone under the moon has different thoughts.
…………
This grand Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet has been prepared for more than two months, but it will end in a few hours.
Follow the process step by step, which is naturally extremely smooth.
In the end, Emperor Yongkang raised his glass and drank with hundreds of officials, and the palace banquet officially ended.
Hua Jin sent Concubine Jing back to Ningshou Palace, and then she was ready to leave the palace.
Concubine Jing was a little reluctant to Hua Jin and wanted her to live in the palace for a few days.
Hua Jin thought about what happened to Hua Tong and Hua Rui, because he didn't see the eldest aunt Wang at the palace banquet.
Concubine Jing saw that Hua Jin was a little silent, and thought for a while that she was unwilling to accompany her old woman.
As soon as he showed a look of disappointment, he saw Hua Jin kneeling in front of him.
Hua Jin also figured it out on the way back to Ningshou Palace, since there is now Concubine Jing, an aunt and grandmother, why not try to hug her thighs.
Looking at the current situation, something should have gone wrong on Hua Rui's side.
Although she had made all the preparations before, let Hua Tong die for her.
But who knows if Hua Tong's thoughts will come back after the accident?
What's more, there is no need to hide this matter from Concubine Jing.
At this time, Hua Jin told Concubine Jing about Hua Tong's choice of a step-concubine among their sisters.
Of course, as soon as Hua Jin knelt down, she was helped up by the old lady beside the concubine, and she finished her speech while sitting.
Concubine Jing has been listening carefully, and the more she listens, the more her brows furrow, and finally her palm slapped heavily on the desk, "How can this be true, my cousin's daughter has also been arranged by her junior." ”
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and his face turned a little pale, "You are only thirteen years old, how can I allow you to go to be a stepmother to someone else as soon as you pass the door." Even if it is to be a princess, we are not uncommon! ”
Hua Jin felt that this concubine was really thinking about herself everywhere, and at the same time, she was afraid that she would really be angry with her old man, so she reached out to help Concubine Jing smooth out.
Concubine Jing held Hua Jin's hand with relief, "Jin girl, my aunt and grandmother will go to the Queen Mother early tomorrow morning, and let the Queen Mother agree that after that, you must be nodded and agreed by me, and you will be the master yourself, and no one will want to beat your idea." ”
Hua Jin was very moved when he heard Concubine Jing say this.
Concubine Jing stood up from the couch by the window all of a sudden, "No, I'm going to Cining Palace to find the Queen Mother now." ”
"Auntie, Grandmother." Hua Jin hurriedly got up and stopped the people, "It's this hour, presumably the Queen Mother is also tired, and my aunt and grandmother don't have to worry about it today." ”
"yes!" The old lady also came forward to persuade: "If the concubine goes to Cining Palace so rashly, the queen mother will definitely feel that there is a reason for it, and I am afraid that she will hesitate." ”
Concubine Jing bowed, "It's deliberate." He patted Hua Jin's hand again, "The Jin girl is left in this Ningshou Palace, I don't think anyone dares to come and rob someone." "There is a kind of posture of a hen protecting her chicks.
Hua Jin only felt that his eyes were hot, and he almost shed tears.
Her own grandmother had no chance to pamper her, and her step-grandmother counted her like an enemy, but it was this aunt and grandmother who she had only met today, who had all the affection she lacked.
Hua Jin naturally couldn't stay in Ningshou Palace tonight, so he had to go back to Zhangfu to see the situation, so that he could make the next plan and response.
After bidding farewell to Concubine Jing, Hua Jin left Ningshou Palace, and got on a sedan chair and walked out of the palace from Shenwu Gate.
It wasn't until she got into the carriage of the Zhang family that she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of depression in the palace also dissipated.
"The fifth girl leaned on for a while." Du Sanniang leaned the pillow behind Hua Jin by the faint light in the carriage.
Hua Jin lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that the windproof lamp at the front of the carriage was shaking, and a circle of light and shadow was fainted on the ground, which was a little thin.
She raised her eyes again to look at the moon, which was also lonely and shining in the sky.
Unexpectedly, when she left the palace, she was the only one left.
Du Sanniang reminded in the car, "The fifth girl is careful of catching a cold." ”
Hua Jin put down the curtains of the car, only to feel a little dizzy after drinking so much fruit wine.
She leaned on the pillow, only to feel a little groggy, and even her consciousness was a little hazy.
But she didn't sleep well, otherwise she wouldn't have felt the carriage slowly stopping.
Hua Jin suddenly opened his eyes and saw that Du Sanniang was still by his side, so he was relieved.
"The carriage seems to have stopped?" Hua Jin asked Du Sanniang.
Du Sanniang bowed her head, looking at her expression, she seemed to know the situation outside.
Hua Jin raised her eyebrows, and just wanted to lift the curtains to look outside, but she raised her hand to stop her.
"Fifth girl, rest assured, now that we are out of the imperial city, we are also the last to leave the palace, and the road is quiet and safe."
With someone as skilled as Du Sanniang by her side, Hua Jin didn't have to think about safety at all, but her words made her sound weird, as if she was hinting at something.
Just about to ask, I saw Du Sanniang clasping her fists with both hands, and looked at Hua Jin with a little apology, "Fifth girl, it's rude." ”
When she said this, Hua Jin was even more puzzled, and was about to ask, but Du Sanniang disappeared from the carriage of the carriage in a flash.
Hua Jin only felt that the curtain of the car moved slightly, and lifted a corner, and then the lantern hanging in the carriage suddenly went out, and the surroundings became pitch black......
