Chiba had come to set up the banquet very early, and she had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but when the time for the banquet was approaching, she was nowhere to be found.

"Tell me what's going on!"

At this time, Chiba secretly drank some wine, her cheeks were slightly red, today was a good day, and when she saw that person's good day, she didn't want to let unpleasant things disturb her.

She was summoned out by her cronie Pear, who was kneeling on the ground with a whip pinned to his waist and a red turban.

"Lord, the second lady of the Murong family is back, she entered the palace a few days ago, and she can please Your Majesty."

Chiba rolled her eyes, she thought it was a big deal, her nominal father and emperor, she had never been a concubine since that person disappeared, what was this young lady of the Murong family.

"Is there a title?"

"Never."

"Pear, are you confused today?"

"Your Majesty intends to give her another name, not a concubine."

When she said this, she did not dare to lift her head.

She became serious, and after a little thought, she knew that this old fox, at this time she sneered: "Is there anything else?"

Pear hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak: "Lord Luo asked me to tell you that she will resign from you today.

"What?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from behind Chiba.

"I'm sorry, the incident in the Shifting Moon Palace, I have to go back in the next place, as for Her Royal Highness the Princess, you should know what to do?" Cai Wei stopped a meter away from Chiba, waved symbolically, and then turned and left in the opposite direction of Chiba.

"Lord Luo-" Chiba called out to Cai Wei as he turned around.

"What else is there to do with Her Royal Highness Princess?" Cai Wei is no longer the cowardly palace maid she used to be, she is now the harsh and ruthless commander of the Shifting Moon Palace. Naturally, the voice was much lower, and there was an uncomfortable cold air pressure around it.

"None...... No problem. "Although Chiba is very arrogant in the palace, when he encounters a force like the Shifting Moon Palace, he can't help but be a little lower in front of people. I can't say it clearly, and I forget all the things I thought about in my head.

Cai Wei didn't care what she wanted to say, that arrow was a hint of the Great Protector, and it was the best policy to return to the Moving Moon Palace as soon as possible, as for Gan Shunhua, she had to put it aside, anyway, Chiba couldn't move her.

Seeing Cai Wei drifting away, Chiba reacted and wanted to talk to her about the adult, but now, the banquet is about to start, and she has no time to find her.

"Lizi, you go to find a palace maid who is similar in appearance to Lord Luo, and spill her to death in the well, claiming to the outside world that it was the palace maid Cai Wei of the Qiulin Palace who lost her footing." Chiba sighed and slowly closed her eyes, she told Pear to finish this, looked around, and hurried back to the banquet.

Chiba lives in the palace, but the third prince Qianren, who has just returned, lives in the palace in Kyoto, although there is a banquet today, but in order to see him early, Chiba has not slept all night, carefully dressed, and arranged everything in detail, lest he be unhappy.

After saying goodbye to Lo Tsewei, she returned to the banquet.

"Your Highness is still used to living after returning from Yangcheng?" Dressed in a lilac long-sleeved skirt, with the most popular butterfly accessory in the city on her head, the corners of her sharp eyes seem to fade and slowly soften. The person who came was Murong Ning, the eldest lady of the Murong family, who was the most popular person in the palace recently. She walked in like a thousand people at this moment and greeted her softly.

Qianye has been raised in the deep palace since he was a child, and after being crowned, he was directly sent to the frontier for tempering, and the people in the palace didn't know much, let alone the major families, the eldest lady of the Murong family naturally didn't know it, but she also pulled out a smile: "Although it is not as good as the palace, it is also interesting." ”

"Really?" Murong Ning smiled charmingly, "Can the general tell me about it..."

"Miss Murong—"

Qianye was very unhappy when she saw that Murong Ning and Qianren were talking, she wanted to give her a little warning, so that a little person like her had better be restrained and not touch the person she fancied.

Before she could walk into them, Murong Ning saw her looking at her, and walked over to salute her, "I've seen Princess Chiba." ”

"Get up, I heard that Miss Murong has a title, maybe it's above this princess?" Chiba covered her mouth and chuckled.

"It's His Majesty's curtain and the title given to the courtiers and princesses." Murong Ning was unceremonious, looking directly into her eyes, she was not afraid of Chiba.

Chiba's heart was cold at first, and then he thought about it and understood, how could the old fox put all the bets on his own hands? It's just that this action is too fast, and it's chilling.

"Then congratulations," Chiba remained silent, "It's true just now, since it's a level, why should the princess salute this princess, isn't this a mess of the rules?" ”

"Your Majesty did issue an edict to confer on me, but the canonization ceremony has not yet been held, so now the courtiers are just ordinary official children." Murong Ning unconsciously lowered her head and explained meekly, "Therefore, it is appropriate to salute Princess Chiba. ”

"But—"

Chiba didn't know anything about it, she wanted to know more, more about the canonization.

Murong Ning didn't seem to want to talk about this issue more, she turned the topic to Qianren: "Your Highness has won this battle, I don't know what reward you want from Your Majesty?" ”

"It's just playing for the country." Qianren distanced himself from Murong Ning.

"The location of the East Palace, whether His Highness ..... or not"

"This king advises Princess Murong not to say it, this kind of thing can't be said casually." Qianren interrupted her.

Although Murong Ning was a little embarrassed, she was not annoyed when she saw Qian Qian interrupting him, and just as she wanted to explain something, the Moon Emperor had already entered the table.

"Let's all sit down!" The Moon Emperor's face looked very pale, and he was supported by the palace maid on the side and sat on the main seat.

"See Your Majesty—" The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone saluted the Moon Emperor, who only waved his hand, and by the way, gave a seat to some important ministers and the nobles who came to participate in the dust washing feast.

It seems to be just an ordinary dust-washing banquet, but everyone knows it, and there are naturally many people, and the victory of this war, the Moon Emperor will directly hand over the military power to Qianren, and maybe he will be crowned the prince of the East Palace!

Most of them are people who tend to be inflammatory, this time with military merits, the five major families must have nothing to say this time, and then look at the attitude of the eldest lady of the Murong clan, one of the five major families, towards Qianren, tsk, in everyone's hearts, whether it is a male or female right, they are all on Qianren's side.

Ai Min is no exception, as the head of the five major families, the Ai family has the absolute right to speak in the court, according to the situation, she also wants to stand on the side of Qianren, and the Murong family, which has always been a sworn enemy, has begun to move. If she doesn't do something about it, according to the degree of weakness of the Ye family, this prestige in the court and the people will not be maintained.

With a smile, the Moon Emperor first cared about Ai Min: "How is Ai Qing?" ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares, and everything is fine with the minister." Seeing that he greeted himself, Emin replied.

At this time, everyone began to whisper, the Ai family is also arrogant, when the Moon Emperor ascended the throne in order to stabilize his power, he deliberately left the position of prime minister to Ye Min, but Ai Min did not appreciate it, but quarreled with the Moon Emperor in the court, but the Moon Emperor did not force Ai Min as if it was nothing, and gave her the title of Duke Anle and gave her the privilege of entering and leaving the palace at will. At that time, it was a beautiful place. Now, the Ai family is gradually declining, but the power is still not to be underestimated, as can be seen from the fact that the Moon Emperor is the first to care about Ai Min today. In other words, her opinion is also extremely important.

"Why didn't you see the eldest lady of the Qing family?" The Moon Emperor looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one beside her, he asked.

"This-" Ai Min is very helpless, she only has one son in her family, what kind of eldest lady, she is the seed she left in the Qinglou in her early years, and she was raised in the countryside, and then the Ai family had no daughter, so she was sent back, Ai Min rarely mentioned it in front of outsiders, because this daughter has a low status, she can't say it. But she has no choice, she is only one daughter in the clan, according to the group training, the title and title must be inherited by the woman. She plans to take her daughter to this banquet today to announce the news, and also let those who covet her title take care of it, and her Ai family is also a good name, and her family is not a family without an heir.

His Majesty knew about this in advance, it seems that he is eyeing the Ai family, and then thinking about the scenery of the Murong family, Ai Min understands everything. But at this time, her daughter Ai Yunqi was not by her side, in order not to be known about this secret in advance, she asked her to come one step later, and now she should be there.

The families listened to the emperor's words, and were very surprised, the Ai family had a well-known thing for a while, and now a daughter appeared out of thin air, Chen Yun, the head of the Chen family, one of the five major families, covered his mouth with his hand, and made a very surprised look, his eyes were full of jealousy and resentment, but he still had a slightly weird smile, and said: "This.... Lord Ai's new female has been hidden so well that none of us even know about it. ”

"Congratulations, congratulations—" Murong Hua, the patriarch of the Murong family and Murong Ning's mother, congratulated with a smile. Then he showed a puzzled look, as if he had thought of something, "Also, I don't know where Ling Qianjin is now?" Can you let me see you later? ”

"The little girl is stubborn, I changed my mind today, and decided to let her stay at home," Ai Min made a gesture, signaling the henchman Yun's mother on the side to inform Ai Yunqi to leave the palace and return home, if she comes this time, she may be troubled by these people, she is not deeply involved in the world, and she is stupid, and she will lose the face of the Ai family.

Murong Ning looked at her mother for a while, and silently sent someone to intercept Mother Yun, they had long known about Ai Yunqi's existence, and they were always concerned about the Ai family, waiting to pull the Ai family down from the first place.

What puzzled Gan Shunhua was that the palace was so big and there were many empty palaces, but when it was so urgent today, there was only one palace in front of him. It's hard to really stay with that fool, but nothing else is secondary, she sees that she always calls her "Yunyun, Yunyun", if she and Princess Chitaki are old acquaintances, what if they are exposed, this is what she is most worried about.

But now that this situation is in harmony, she has to change her clothes, if she doesn't attend the third brother's banquet, I'm afraid there will be another incident, and after weighing it again, she still entered the only dilapidated palace.

It is estimated that it is the palace where an unfavored concubine lived in the previous dynasty, and it looks golden on the outside, but it is actually dilapidated, damp and gloomy inside. Gan Shunhua frowned when he entered, "Why don't you light the lights?" ”

It's daytime, the hall is still a little dim, Gan Shunhua can't stand it, this dark feeling always makes her think about the days when Gan Xinyi was counted in prison, during that time, she tasted what is called pain.

"Yunyun, you're here." The girl's eyes lit up, hugged Gan Shunhua, and kept rubbing her face against Gan Shunhua's clothes.

Gan Shunhua always felt that there was a strange feeling in her heart, she always felt that the small woman in front of her was very familiar, and this feeling, Gan Shunhua could only blame it on someone who might be known to Chitaki.

"Give-" She didn't know where to take out a beautiful glass jar, opened the rubber stopper on it, took out a spherical glittering thing from it, and handed it to Gan Shunhua, "Oh, eat sugar, Yunyun." ”

Gan Shunhua was stunned, and didn't know what to do for a while, the old mother on her side squatted down, pinched the hand she was about to hand to her candy, and persuaded her helplessly and sternly, "This is Princess Chitaki, you can't be so unreasonable, if it is spread out and others know, saying that the Ai family has no rules and no respect, the head of the family will definitely blame you." ”

"Yunyun, eat sugar-" She didn't care about the old mother, she kept watching Gan Shunhua repeat this sentence again, Gan Shunhua didn't believe anyone now, even if the girl's words were sincere and her eyes were sincere, she didn't want to accept it, so Gan Shunhua could only smile awkwardly and wanted to change the topic.

"It's not too early, this princess still has important things, next time-" Gan Shunhua still has room to speak, Ai family, she knows, it is a Kyoto family, she doesn't want to offend a certain young lady of the Ai family because of this little thing.

"Next time, oh no, if you are free, if you are free, if you are free, this princess will definitely accept Miss's kindness."

"Huh?" She seemed to be a little lost, and slowly lowered her head, like a lost child, but she was not reluctant to Gan Shunhua, and retracted the hand holding the candy. At this time, Gan Shunhua also looked at the thing called "candy", the spherical hard object was wrapped in transparent but colorful light in the sun, which was surprising and surprising to Gan Shunhua.

It's weird. Gan Shunhua sighed inwardly, she always felt that this thing had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, but she was sure that she had never seen it.

"Your Highness, the clothes slave and maid have been brought here, you can quickly change them!" Just as Gan Shunhua was thinking carefully, Caisang hurriedly ran in, and she didn't care about saluting, so she pushed Gan Shunhua to the side of the palace and asked her to change her clothes quickly.

The clothes that were originally carefully selected were dirty this time, and the one I took in a hurry didn't match at all, but I couldn't take care of it so much, and after Gan Shunhua changed it, she didn't want to stay here longer, she just wanted to go straight to the banquet.

There was only one front door in this palace, and she said hello to Miss Ai and wanted to leave quickly, but she stopped her.

"Yunyun doesn't want me?" Miss Ai looked aggrieved, and Gan Shunhua had a feeling that she had really abandoned her.

"Miss is the first time to come to the palace for a banquet, and I got lost, and I ask Your Highness to bring my young lady." The man, who had not spoken, pleaded apologetically.

Gan Shunhua looked at him, only to see him smile at himself, the dimples on both sides were dreamy and mysterious, like someone, or another person, or or, it was a combination of them, anyway, no matter which person it was, it was someone he loved and hated, for a while, all kinds of emotions came to his heart, Gan Shunhua still agreed.
