Commonly known as the Daming Palace in the east is actually located in the northeast of Chang'an City, out of Jingshanfang, along the Vermilion Bird Street to the north, through Guangfu, Anren, Kaihua, Xingdao four squares is the earliest Taiji Palace built, because of the heat stroke and dampness, living for a long time is easy to get sick, this is really in the north of Chang'an Palace City will now only be used when the ceremony, Zhuo Zhaojie opened the curtain and took a look at it from afar, through the spacious square, you can see from west to east, Hanguang, Vermilion Bird, Ann on the three 'gates' towering, the momentum is extraordinary.

Turn the Xingdao Fang and turn to the east, along the imperial city to the north, after the left and right Jiaofang is located in the light house, Changle Note 1 two squares, is the Danfeng Street in front of the Daming Palace, the main 'door' Danfeng 'door' is not open as usual, Shen and his party got off in front of the Jianfu 'door', and the palace 'gate' guarded in front of the 'waiter' reported, after the report entered, there was a blue-clothed 'waiter' arrived with a whisk in hand.

Shen and Zhuo Fangdian both knew this 'servant', and they both greeted with a smile: "How is Grandpa Chang lately?" "Aunt Shen had already quietly handed over her purse.

The inner 'waiter' surnamed Chang did not shirk, carried the 'waiter' into his sleeve, and saluted gently with a 'pale' face, and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the saint and the queen's mother, our family has always been healthy, and the old lady has not entered the palace for some days." "I also praised Zhuo Fangdian and Zhuo Zhaojie, "I have long heard that the ladies in the house are all talented and good-looking, and the two who came with the old lady today look like Zhong Lingyuxiu, and the two ladies have always been good?" This little lady is eye-catching, but is the little Qi Niang mentioned by the mother? ”

Shen glanced at Zhuo Zhaojie silently, and said, "My father-in-law has good eyesight, and he is the seventh grandson of the old body." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was busy according to what the eldest lady and You had told before, and saluted and greeted.

The father-in-law smiled and said, "Don't be polite, little lady, our family can't afford it." After avoiding it, the three of them were invited in.

The palace car has been prepared in the corner behind the Jianfu 'door', and Shen said a few words to Chang Gonggong, and then led Zhuo Fangdian and Zhuo Zhaojie to board the car, but Chang Gonggong only sat in the wheel, and the small inner 'waiter' who drove the car greeted him, and shook a whip 'flower' loudly, and the palace car rose up.

Along the longitudinal street note 2 all the way through Hanyuan, Xuanzheng, Zichen three halls composed of the outer court, and then through a 'door', the eyes suddenly opened, the east side of the vertical street water 'waves' sparkling, the shore is lush, when you see the scenery of the rockery pavilion, in the middle there are occasionally three or five colorful clothes palace people laughing and passing by, or pruning branches and leaves on the waterside, or holding arms to perform errands, each has its own division, although busy not 'chaos', for the palace car are not squinting, demeanor is demure, it can be seen that the queen has a way of governing the palace.

Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo Fangdian in the same car, the aunt and nephew made a feud, did not speak to each other, Zhuo Zhaojie happened to sit on the side of the water, he stretched out his hand to open the curtain to see, across the water but saw a towering treasure hall standing in the north direction, dozens of white 'jade' steps stretched up, the pillar in front of the hall was listed, the eaves of the palace 'kiss' were fierce, and the wind came, from the direction of this hall came a burst of heavy copper bells.

The palace car stopped in front of the palace, and after getting off the car, Zhuo Zhaojie looked up and saw three big characters on the gold lacquer plaque on the white 'jade' steps - Penglai Palace.

This is the residence of the previous Daliang queens in the Daming Palace.

A round-faced palace man was waiting at the foot of the white 'jade' stairs with a smile, and Shen also gave a handful of hands when he got out of the car, and said crisply: "The old lady is careful to take her feet, the queen has been bored for the past two days, and she only made someone pour water on this step this morning." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie heard the words and looked at the steps, and sure enough, they were all wet, remembering that the eldest lady and the You family wanted her to enter the palace and not forget to take care of the Shen family, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Shen's arm and said, "Grandmother, I will help you." ”

Zhuo Fangdian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen let go of Shen's hand with interest, took a step back, and Zhuo Fangdian also said: "Xiao Qiniang and I are supporting our mother, Aunt Shen is getting older." ”

Shen smiled gently: "You are all good boys, you should be careful." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, we don't dare to be careless, otherwise if we help our grandmother, we will fall and bring it to our grandmother, and then we will be a big sin." ”

The round-faced palace man and Chang Gonggong glanced at each other, and they both praised: "The two ladies in the house are extremely filial, and the lady is so blessed." ”

After greeting them like this, the Shen family was helped up the steps by the 'daughter' son and grandson' 'daughter', and when they arrived outside the hall, because they had told them before, they waited a little while, and some palace people came out to invite them in.

Stepping over the threshold of the vermilion lacquer hall that is almost knee-high, the most conspicuous thing facing the 'door' is the phoenix seat on the several-level Danqi.

Because he walked in from the bright and beautiful hall of 'spring', the first two breaths were actually not very clear, walked two steps, and after getting used to the light in the hall, Zhuo Zhaojie saw clearly that the 'woman' sitting in the hall looked about forty years old, with a homely cloud bun, obliquely 'inserted' two crested hairpins, a bead 'flower' swayed, falling with a long and a short two strings of southern pearls, the long one almost shoulder-length, the short one just happened to pass the ear, at first glance, and the ordinary noble 'woman' is no different, and the appearance is beautiful, not the most beautiful kind - But a pair of phoenix eyes are majestic, although they look at it calmly, but it makes people's hearts involuntarily give birth to an awe-inspiring meaning, and they dare not have the slightest slackness - this is the sage Yuan match, the queen of Da Liang's Chunyu.

Although today is the prince's birthday, the queen does not mean to wear strict makeup, but she wears a 'flower' double 'color' Qiluo placket 'spring' shirt, which is a lotus lotus 'color' and 'cross' collar short undergarment, tied with a jujube red grain harvest woven gold skirt, the skirt is not very new, obviously worn two or three times.

The palace people led Shen and his party to the Danqi to salute, and Zhuo Zhaojie obviously felt that the queen's gaze stayed on him for a while, and then said: "Flat." ”

Chun Yu Queen's voice is unusual for the 'female' to be coquettish or sweet, although it is also pleasant, but it is extremely calm, revealing a touch of coldness.

The Shen clan took the lead and thanked him, and Queen Chunyu ordered the seat again.

At this time, Zhuo Zhaojie was in the mood to see that there were already some noble 'women' and 'women' in the palace, and the people she knew, Princess Yikang, Su Yuyan, Gu Pan'er, Chun Yupei, Tang Qianxia, and Ning Xianrong were actually all there, except for Princess Yikang, they all came with the elders, and they all knelt behind the elders' table.

Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo Fangdian were the same, just knelt down and sat down, and listened to a person say slowly: "This little lady with a short shirt is looking at her eyes, but is the little Qiniang of the Zhuo family who has been spreading so much in Chang'an these days?" ”

Looking at the voice, it was on the top seat on the right, and the person who spoke was wearing a blue and blue bead pair of deer brocade clothes, wearing a honey-fitting 'colored' Luo skirt, and a Wangxian bun - looking at the face and the queen's age, but the appearance was self-pretty, the silhouette was beautiful, and she must have been a rare beauty when she was young.

I heard Queen Chunyu smile faintly: "The concubine has good eyesight, it is the little Qi Niang of the Zhuo family." ”

The concubine continued: "Two days ago, the little fourteenth lady returned home, saying that this year's 'flower' will be interesting and I listened, mentioning a poem written by this little lady, and said that it is a stunning' beauty, I just thought that several ladies of the Zhuo family have seen it, this little lady is born with eyes, followed Min Pinghou in, and gave birth to a 'flower' appearance and moon appearance, about that. ”

The fourteenth mother is about Tang Ruoyi, thinking about it this way, this concubine should be the aunt of the eldest lady Zhou, the favorite concubine of the first emperor in his later years, and the biological mother of King Qin, Concubine Zhou.

After Concubine Zhou said this, Zhuo Zhaojie felt that eyes were cast on him from all directions, although he was probably smiling, but there was no lack of curiosity and scrutiny.

Tang Qianxia's brocade-clothed noble 'woman' in front of her lightly opened Zhu's 'lips' and said: "I have also heard about the 'flower' meeting, and it is also a coincidence - this little lady is just right against our little third lady." ”

The noble 'women' here are not very clear about Zhuo Zhaojie's younger generation who has just returned to Chang'an, although Chang'an is famous all over the world, in the end they have heard it, and some people asked: "Dare to ask Princess Jin, who is the loser and who wins between this little lady and the county lord?" ”

Princess Jin smiled slightly: "It's just flat." ”

"It's a coincidence...... someone smiled, and the tone was very meaningless.

Queen Chunyu didn't answer this, but looked at the person on the first seat on the left with a smile: "The second sister just said "'Spring' Yingxiao", but it is a coincidence, some newcomers lined up this one a few days ago, according to Dai Rulan, the dance is not bad, the second sister wants to take a look?" ”

The noble 'woman' on that seat is a few years older than the queen, a very standard melon seed face, although the passage of time has left traces, but from the distance of Zhuo Zhaojie, it is still fair and soft, two moth eyebrows that fly into the temples, and the majesty of the phoenix eyes that is not angry and self-revealing is somewhat similar to the queen, but the outline is different, but the body of the commanding spirit is better than everyone in the palace.

She wore a fallen horse bun, obliquely 'inserted' a delicate dotted green grass insect beaded gold hairpin, gem butterfly play red gold peony bead 'flower', wearing a 'color' Rui brocade wide sleeves 'handed' collar undergarment, tied a royal blue fairy skirt, dignified and casual, even so, 'waiting' Ning Xianrong standing behind her is also looking at the nose and nose, like a wood carving without moving, very well-behaved, this noble 'woman' listened to the queen's words, and said lightly: "It's boring to sit down, it's good to take a look first." ”

The queen glanced at Her Royal Highness, and immediately there was an inner 'servant' who hurried out to deliver the decree.

Shen took advantage of the tea to remind Zhuo Zhaojie in a low voice: "That's the eldest princess of Jiyang." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie entered the palace for the first time, and it was inevitable that he was a little apprehensive in his heart, although he saw Ning Xianrong, but he didn't lose his temper when he patronized himself, and he thought it was the Duchess of Qiguo under a rough sweep, and he was taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the noble 'woman' in the silk clothes, but after seeing that the eldest princess of Jiyang answered the queen, she leisurely laughed with a young 'woman' who was about twenty or thirty years old and had a beautiful eyebrows and lotus face - behind the young 'woman' was Su Yuyan, and her identity was self-evident, she should be the eldest 'daughter' of the saint and Queen Chunyu, Princess Changle, The royal aunt and nephew talked and laughed, and if there was no one around, the eldest princess of Jiyang didn't even look at it, as if Zhuo Zhaojie's entry into the palace today had nothing to do with her.

Seeing this, Zhuo Zhaojie's heart was relieved, and then he became nervous again, secretly thinking about what bad behavior he had since he entered the palace, and he couldn't help but nervously figure out the thoughts of the eldest princess Jiyang.

She was clenching the veil and biting her lip, and the 'waiter' outside also came in to tell her that the people from the sect had arrived outside the hall and asked if they would come in now.

The queen nodded, and not long after, she saw two teams of ten people each in colorful clothes and light Luo Shao' 'women' fish in, and another musician and others followed, after the ceremony, an inner 'waiter' stepped forward to announce that the performance of "'Spring' Yingxiao", twenty Jiaofang Maiko like 'flowers' blooming 'flowers' falling on His Royal Highness's Yu quickly dispersed, each occupying one, after posing, the strings together, all danced with it.

This "Spring" Yingxiao belongs to the soft dance, pay attention to the soft Na tactful, slow state, the music is sometimes cheerful, sometimes tactful, can go to the queen to perform in front of the natural are the best, for a while the atmosphere in the Penglai Hall is lively.

In such liveliness, Chun Yupei, who was closest to the Shen family, quietly got up, moved one step, moved another step, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he jumped three times and jumped to Zhuo Zhaojie's side, and said with a low smile: "Ah, how are you?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie because he had a good time with Chun Yu Sang Ruo and Chun Yu Sang Yu at the 'spring' banquet, but Qu Jiangban helped Shi Weining win the pot of Yu Ji's 'Yan' outfit, and later Chun Yu Pei didn't remember his previous suspicions, and gave a gift in Zhuo Zhaojie's illness, which would be a little ridiculous, and said: "Yes, it was fine two days ago, and I was going to the house to thank me, but my grandfather detained me in another courtyard to teach, which is really rude Note 3." ”

Chun Yupei raised her head slightly, she combed her hair and practiced her hair, and there was a pair of dragonfly lotus hairpins on her head, the pair of dragonflies were extremely 'realistic', especially the wings, when they didn't move, they trembled slightly with the soft wind blowing into the hall, she raised her head like this, and she frequently flapped her wings 'want' to fly, Chun Yupei smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's not say that Lingtang has sent someone to return the gift, do you think I look like such a stingy person?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie also smiled when he heard what she said: "It's me who is presumptuous." ”

"Don't talk about that." Chun Yupei was obviously idle, and soon found a new topic, saying, "What's going on with the fighting poems at the 'flower' meeting?" I heard that this year's leader is Bon Yao Huang, or has he been stepped on? It is said to be related to Ning Jiu? ”

"That's right." Because Zhuo Zhaojie is in the Penglai Palace, although there will be music and dance music to cover it, when Chun Yupei leaned over, many people still noticed it, but they didn't make a sound, so they were not too embarrassed to shake it, and said euphemistically, "It doesn't matter if you come over like this?" ”

Chun Yupei smiled and said, "Oh, it's the first time you've entered the palace, no wonder you ask that...... My aunt has always been very tolerant, what are we talking about? Last time, Shi Niang and Shi Niang chased and played around the pillar here, and my aunt just laughed at it, and I was not interested in watching this "Spring" Yingxiao, if it was a healthy dance like "Da Weizhou", I might still be a little interested. ”

Note 1 Changle Fang: In the "Jiaofang Record", the left Jiaofang is in Yanzheng Fang, the right Jiaofang is in Guangzhai Fang, a good at singing and dancing, and it is said that there is no Yanzheng Fang on the overlook map of the ancient Chang'an City that is now degreed, in fact, it is Changle Fang, outside the Danfeng 'gate', the west of the sixteen houses, and the north of Daning Fang. Well, I suddenly remembered that I don't have evidence, huh? This one...... Let's take a look.

Note 2 Longitudinal Street: There are two streets that run through the entire palace city, which are arranged on the left and right of the central axis of the Daming Palace, in the north-south direction, I understand that the palace walls are high on both sides, and the passage of the special "door" is sandwiched out in the middle for rapid communication, such as reporting what emergency news, firefighting (it was a wooden structure house for a long time in ancient times) and so on.

Note 3 rudeness: tragic, only today did I find out that Xiaoqi's father is called "Zhuo Fangli", the word Li is often used, it is difficult to avoid, this BUG, please treat it as a wood, Zhuo Fangli's name has so many modifications are really incompetent......
