When Kong Xilin walked into the ginkgo garden of the Three Princes' Mansion, he heard a melodious piano sound from a distance, and the flowers and willows came, lingering between Wuke, and seemed to pour out his heart, but when he followed the sound of the piano to a red pavilion, he suddenly heard the mournful music turning, like the sonorous sword and the swiftness of the iron horse.

Unconsciously, he stopped outside the pavilion, and Kong Xilin closed the folding fan and slapped his palm.

The passionate music gradually faded back, and the turbulent waterfall was like a roaring waterfall, pouring into the sharp stone mountain stream, converging into a rapid stream.

But when I saw that the ten fingers stopped slightly, the sound of the piano was scattered in a curling voice.

But without waiting for the pure sound to stop the rhyme, the fingertips fell lightly again, hooking and picking and wiping, it seemed that thousands of troops were getting farther away, and on the blood-stained field, there was a north wind galloping, rolling up the yellow sand like fog.

"Your Highness is in a good mood today." It wasn't until the sound of the piano completely dissipated and returned to calm, no matter whether it was sad, or harsh, or even melancholy, it was all gone, restoring the quiet and good situation of the wind and sunshine and the green pavilion, Kong Xilin came in with a high-five, and did not give a salute, only sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, the corners of his slender eyes, and his ambiguous gaze looked at the three princes who seemed to be gloomy and excited.

"This piece is unheard of, could it be that His Highness composed it himself?" Kong Xilin asked again, but as soon as the words fell, he saw a page of piano scores on the side of the piano case, and the handwriting was extremely beautiful, as if the woman had written the book, Kong Xilin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

The third prince got up from the piano, sat down on Kong Xilin's side, took a sip of tea first, seemed to calm down his emotions, and then said: "Do you know who I actually hit this time?" ”

"Found out?" Kong Xilin spread the folding fan, shook it a few times, frowned and thought: "Since you asked so, it has nothing to do with the four princes." ”

Shi Si got the reminder of the third prince, and immediately arranged it, invited Dong Sanshun to have a drink, and let Zhu Dalang's little guy hide in a corner to peep, as a result, the little guy recognized Dong Sanshun and said that it was the person he met at the chicken farm by chance, and it was he who reported the news about Qianrao Pavilion that day.

"It's Su Wu Niang." The third prince seemed to grit his teeth before he spit out these five words.

Kong Xilin suffocated the folding fan in his hand, and it seemed that he hadn't woken up for a while, who is this Su Wu Niang?

"The second daughter of Duke Wei Guo, the sister of Aunt Su." The third prince squeezed out this sentence again, but with that expression, people couldn't tell whether it was frustration, annoyance, or excitement?

Kong Xilin laughed loudly, leaned forward and leaned back, and when he saw that the eyes of the three princes were like arrows, chasing him and shooting continuously, he turned his laughter into a few coughs, clenched his fists to his lips, and met the eyes of the three princes playfully: "Your Highness, this time, was planted in the hands of a beauty?" ”

The third prince snorted coldly, and suddenly stepped forward a few steps, and pulled the score on the piano case tightly in his palm, but it was ...... after all It was slapped on the stone table.

Kong Xilin's gaze turned around on the score, and then on the face of the third prince, before he bent the corners of his lips: "Your Highness, I said a long time ago, your face that overturned all beings will definitely lead to disaster." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Tut, Your Highness is really a fan of the authorities, then the five mothers of the Su family must be moved by you, so they don't want to be robbed of the marriage by the eldest sister and make such a turmoil."

"You mean, Su Wu Niang is for this reason?"

Seeing that the third prince raised his eyebrows, and his eyes swelled with joy and unknown emotions, Kong Xilin's smile was no longer so cheerful, and the folding fan in his hand shook gently, but asked: "Your Highness really thinks so?" ”

The third prince looked at this friend suspiciously, and he didn't even go around the corner for a while.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, how old are the five mothers of the Su family? Is it the right age to get married? ”

"Dare to ask Your Highness, even if she spoils her eldest sister's marriage, can she still prevent other women from marrying His Highness as concubines?"

"Dare to ask Your Highness, the eldest princess is unwilling to let the eldest concubine of the Su family be the third princess, is she willing to let the fifth lady be the concubine of His Royal Highness?"

As soon as the three questions came out, the three princes understood.

Su Wu Niang's behavior is not as simple as hiding affection for him.

God knows that since he affirmed this, he has been in a state of flux, entering the palace early in the morning, almost revealing a flaw in front of the queen, and after returning home, he has never thought about it carefully.

"Your Highness, Su Wuniang is just a boudoir woman, how can she know the whereabouts of Her Highness? How can I buy the maid next to the red cloth and give medicine to His Royal Highness? How can you hide the maid so that there is no trace of it? And she wants to ruin His Highness's marriage, just provoke the fat pig of the Zhu family to go to Qianrao Pavilion to make trouble, why did she steal His Highness's jade seal? Kong Xilin followed these questions, which made the third prince full of doubts.

"What do you mean......"

"This matter may be related to the Weiguo Mansion, but it may not be the handiwork of Su Wuniang."

The third prince Yirin: "Are you suspicious of Duke Weiguo, or the eldest princess?" ”

"But I also feel very confused, if the eldest princess is unwilling to let her granddaughter be the third princess, she can refuse bluntly, and she doesn't need to move the people like this, if she wants to destroy His Royal Highness's reputation...... "Your Royal Highness, your own reputation is not too good, and if you go to a hook to find fun, it is really not a "terrifying" thing.

So when the two communicated like this, they were like falling into five clouds, only to feel that the doubts were not only unsolved, but made the truth even more confusing.

Kong Xilin asked: "These are not the most important things for the time being, the important thing is how His Highness will redeem it?" Did you give up the Patriotic Mansion? ”

Wei Guogong holds the forbidden army, which plays a vital role in the battle for the crown prince, how could the three princes give up?

"My princess can only be the daughter of the Su family, but it seems that she is going to be drawn slowly." After waiting for a moment, Kong Xilin saw the third prince's eyebrows stretch and said this.

Slowly? Marriage is now, how to plan it slowly? Kong Xilin's black eyebrows hung high, puzzled.

The third prince picked up the sheet music again, and after smiling lightly, he flicked the sleeves of Yaqing's shirt, but when he saw a branch of Zhu Mei on it, it seemed to rise in the wind: "Xiao Wu, I am not free today, I won't greet you, please take care of yourself." "But he went away.

Kong Xilin was stunned for a while, and the words of the third prince were endlessly recalled, and he realized a little bit.

I must marry the daughter of the Su family, didn't His Royal Highness say before that I would marry the aunt of the Su family? Seemingly......

With a frown, Kong Xilin looked at the figure walking away, with complicated emotions flowing in his eyes, standing in the red pavilion, alone for a long time.

The golden beast is half-squatting at the corner of the screen, the unicorn head is high, the copper lips are slightly intertwined, there is a smoke incense coming out, carved with the sandalwood beauty couch of the begonia Turui, hanging down a corner of the crow green long clothes, a branch of red plum embroidered by Zhu Si, still flying in the breeze outside the window, the man on the couch reclining, one arm supporting the chin, one arm slightly raised, between the five fingers carved by the fat jade, playing with the finely carved orchid hairpin, the corners of the lips rolled up a touch of charm, the bottom of the eyes reflects the golden sun outside the window, as if the color of the glass, flowing with complex and unknown emotions.

The collection of this orchid hairpin on the day was originally intended to be married by the saint, and after the marriage with the Su aunt was settled, it would be returned to the original owner, with the heart of the Bojia people, and I didn't want things to come to such a point.

The third prince turned the orchid hairpin slightly, the corners of his flying eyes rose, and the emotions in his eyes suddenly became more complicated.

From the beginning, he never thought of using this boudoir private property to force the beautiful woman to submit.

Who is the eldest princess? If her old man insisted on rejecting this family business, could she force the eldest princess to compromise with just an orchid hairpin? The third prince didn't have such luck at all, he was almost sure that as long as he took this orchid hairpin to the eldest princess to threaten him, things would really come to the point where nothing would turn around.

But at this time...... Orchid hairpins are not necessarily ineffective.

While the third prince was thinking about the next plan, in a trance in front of him, the fresh and beautiful face of the cardamom girl suddenly appeared, her black eyes were looking forward to it, and her eyes were like a clear stream, just a slight touch, she could go straight to her heart.

Suddenly getting up, the third prince held the cold hosta tightly in his palm, and a decision made him stretch his eyebrows.

At the same time, in the corridor behind the Yuanying Hall, while sipping tea, while paying attention to the situation in the tea hall, the beautiful scenery suddenly felt a slight itch in his nose, and couldn't help but sneeze a few times, followed by it, she felt an inexplicable chill rising in the vest, and couldn't help but raise her eyes in wonder, looked at Jin Yang, who was still brilliant although it was scorching and slow, and muttered: "Although it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can't feel the autumn mood, why do I suddenly shiver." ”

In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival of the third year of Yuanqing.

Every year on this day, the saint has to invite hundreds of officials, but at noon on August 15, although there is also a palace banquet in the evening, but it is limited to the saint and the harem concubines, and rarely invites others.

But a few days ago, the Queen Mother had a decree, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, invited several nobles, naturally there is the Weiguo Mansion, including Jianning Houfu, Zhen Mansion, Confucius Mansion, and two phases, Shangshu Mansion.

Naturally, it was for the prince to choose a concubine.

As the concubines of the Weiguo Mansion, Yichen, Yijing and Liuniang Yifeng are all invited, so the three ladies came to Yuanyingtang today to try on the colorful dresses that were made in order to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But at this time, the eldest princess and Yichen ignored everyone, talking privately in the pantry, Yijing and Liuniang waited in the back court, Liuniang has been intently flipping through a pile of mansion copies a few months ago, and even Yijing's sneezes did not make her wake up.

Yijing paid attention to the expressions of her grandmother and Yichen.

Yichen sat beside his grandmother, always with dignified eyes, looking very shy.

Yijing guessed that her grandmother was discussing family affairs with her.

Because of the distance, Yijing naturally couldn't hear the conversation of the two clearly, but looking at the grandmother's expression, she was very kind, and the eldest sister ...... After squirming for a long time, he finally bowed his head slightly, and Yijing saw that his grandmother smiled very comfortingly.

In this way, an agreement has been reached, and Yijing is excited and apprehensive, not knowing who the prince her grandmother likes.

But suddenly heard a "snap" sound, and saw Liuniang shoot the case, still holding a copy of the mansion in her hand, the two delicate brows frowned into a dead knot, the tone was very solemn, and there was a sudden realization: "I see." ”

"The sixth sister finally found the answer?" Yijing's mind was shaken back by this palm, and he asked.

It turned out that the two of them were still discussing a recent incident in the Luqing Garden earlier - that is, the case of the murder of Zheng Naining in the Southern Zhejiang Prefecture, the judgment of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, which really made the two of them feel a little unusual, but the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department were too hasty in judging the case, so they discussed it in front of the eldest princess today.

Zheng Naining was an official of the imperial court, and soon after he took office, he died unexpectedly, so that the saint was furious, and ordered a strict investigation, not wanting to "find out" that he died at the hands of his wife, and the murderer had already touched the wall and died.

There is no proof of death, which somewhat reminds Yijing of his fate in his previous life.

The eldest princess listened to the words of her two granddaughters, but she was noncommittal, but asked Linglong to copy the mansion from half a year ago, and let Yijing and Liuniang read it in the back court.

"Fifth sister, you see, it turned out that the matter of Southern Zhejiang caused a storm before, and there was a royal history that impeached the officials of Southern Zhejiang for using power for personal gain and preying on the common people, but they were attacked by the officials of Southern Zhejiang, and finally ended up beheading. Liu Niang spread out a few copies of the mansion and showed them to the beautiful scene, and she was very excited: "The saint is so concerned about the murder of Zheng Zhizhou, there must be a hidden secret, which shows that the officialdom of Southern Zhejiang is really strange." ”

Yi Jing read the copies of the palace, and agreed with Liu Niang's opinion, and thought deeply for a while: "The convicted Yushi was originally a child of a family, and he had a close relationship with Qin. ”

Liu Niang also frequently bowed her head: "And Dali Temple and the criminal minister are the former officials and in-laws of the golden minister." ”

The two girls exchanged a look, their hearts were a little heavy, and the dispute between the two had reached such a point.

Yi Jing couldn't help but think that at the moment, the imperial concubine chose to choose a major event, in addition to her own sister, the cousin of Jianning Houfu, the ladies of Qin Xiang and Jin Xiangfu were also mixed in.

In the previous life, the daughter of the Jin family was selected as the fourth princess, the daughter of the Qin family was the side concubine of the prince, the second mother of the Zhuo family married the second prince, and Huang Wuniang, the cousin of Jianning Houfu, finally married the king of Yangquan County.

But in this life, seeing that the fate of the eldest sister and the third princess has been changed, I don't know what kind of changes will happen to the fate of the rest.

Yi Jing vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Qin Sanniang lost his honor due to the palace banquet, and only then did he lose the position of the princess and concubine, and became the prince's concubine.

Jin Liuniang has become the fourth princess, and she is disliked by the queen, but she is good at dancing with long sleeves and exquisite on all sides, and she did not let the queen pick out half of the mistakes, and because of the support of the Jin family, the power of the four princes is getting heavier, and later, the prince was assassinated, and the courtiers called for the establishment of the four princes as the princes.

And Qin Sanniang regarded herself as a noble and unwilling concubine, but she could not disobey the holy order, so she could only be wronged and seek perfection, and since she entered the East Palace, not only had a very tense relationship with the crown princess, but also the two noble side concubines, who also had frequent conflicts with Qin Sanniang.

Later, Qin Sanniang actually chose a three-foot white silk casting.

Of course, in that deep palace, whether Qin Sanniang was humiliated and self-exterminated, or was persecuted to death, is really a mystery.

And in this life, I don't know what will happen to the palace banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and whether the fate of these noble ladies will be the same as always.

Yi Jing was also a little stunned for a while, looking at her grandmother and eldest sister in the pantry, and suddenly became a little apprehensive...... She knew what was going to happen and insisted on going her own way and disturbing this fate, but would this destined thing change as she expected? And because of her interference, she is completely unsure of how things will develop in the future.

But at this point, there seems to be no other choice, the major affairs of the court and politics, the rise and fall of the country, is not something that she can control as a boudoir woman, what she wants is just her relatives around her, and she can be happy and worry-free.

Yijing sighed helplessly.
