Chapter 138: Family Banquet
Coming out of the condensing courtyard, I went to the west courtyard where I used to live.
As I passed through the door, I saw the figure of the guard guarding the Yong'an Temple, who was secretly observing my movements.
He wanted to continue hiding, but when I found out, he simply came out directly, with a flattering expression on his face.
Qiu An still didn't want to pay too much attention to him, but the guard walked out of the door again with relief.
Qiu An and I glanced at each other, and we were more determined in our hearts.
Just a few steps away, in a blink of an eye, I entered the west courtyard, and the big trees in the courtyard are still there, still as lush as before.
The condensed courtyard looks deserted, but my courtyard is a little deserted.
After staying in Fengyi Palace, His Majesty the Emperor rewarded him with new food and clothing, and these in the Yong'an Palace were forgotten for a while.
There was some dust in the room where I used to live, and the old clothes from the past were still there, some of them were scattered on the table, or before Zhuang Shao sent me out of the palace that day, I and Qiu An cleaned up indiscriminately, and now I think about it, I am also embarrassed.
After staying in Fengyi Palace, His Majesty the Emperor rewarded him with new food and clothing, and these in the Yong'an Palace were forgotten for a while.
I always felt that something was wrong, so I asked Qiu An, "Do you think there is anything strange?"
Qiu An nodded: "But the princess thinks that this room is too deliberate?"
"That's right, deliberately. "I was in a hurry, but the clothes were not scattered so casually, and the neat places were not so regular, and if I looked closely, the dust fell in different places.
"Anyone has been here and seems to be looking for something?"
Qiu An asked me thoughtfully: "Then the princess suspects Jiang Qianchen and them, or is it the one who lives in the middle courtyard?"
I shook my head, "It doesn't matter who it is, I just don't understand, what do I have to search here?"
"I'm afraid I'm a thief, right?" Qiu An said with some disdain.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart, but I repeatedly rummaged through the old clothes from the past, and I really couldn't find anything wrong, so I had to go out of the Yong'an Palace with Qiu'an and go to the Fengyi Palace.
When he arrived at the door of the Yong'an Palace, the guard was full of smiles: "The princess is good to go, if you have any orders in the future, even if you talk to the little one, the little one will not hesitate." ”
I also smiled slightly, "Then when the time comes, I will have to worry about the adults." ”
The guard didn't expect me to be so polite, so he was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to his previous appearance: "The princess doesn't need to be polite, if there is something to do, the villain should do it." ”
When Qiu An and I walked into the distance, Qiu An secretly turned around and said to me in admiration: "Princess, you guessed the real god, that guard really entered the Yong'an Palace." ”
I didn't look back, there was a light wind on the long road, and although it was hard to blow even the corners of my skirt, it still made people feel cold.
"It's almost autumn, isn't it?" I asked Qiu'an.
Without thinking, Qiuan told me, "The day after tomorrow." ”
"Add a piece of clothing to each of the people in Fengyi Palace, and then give some rewards. ”
Qiu An looked at me, "Actually, it's not necessary, the Imperial City will give new clothes to the minions in the palace at this time of year, and besides, the rewards in our Fengyi Palace have always been the most, and it's too late for the people in the Hesui Palace to envy them." ”
"People's hearts are easy to buy, but they are also easy to lose, fortunately, most of the people in Fengyi Palace are safe people now, Qingqing and Zhiman are easy to get into trouble, we leave people's hearts, and someone can also mention them. ”
"Yes!" Qiu An said no more, accompanying
I walked from the Hesui Palace to the Fengyi Palace.
Helan Mingshan was on duty in the courtyard, and when he saw me coming back, he knelt down and greeted me, and said: "There is a messenger just now, the day after tomorrow, His Majesty the Emperor will hold a banquet in the Chao'an Palace, but the Pingyu Emperor Ji and all the spirit girls will go to the banquet. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but have a big head, and Qiu An hurriedly persuaded: "Don't panic, princess, at this time of year, the emperor will hold a banquet to invite some royal relatives, and there are female officials who dance and play music, and you and the spirit girls only need to sit at that time." ”
"Really?" I looked at Qiu An with some disbelief.
Qiu An nodded affirmatively, and Helan Mingshan also echoed on the side, "My aunt is right, and the messenger said that the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the People's Republic should only be regarded as an ordinary family banquet, only the emperor and the spirit maidens will attend the banquet, and even those royal relatives do not need to enter the palace." ”
Qiu An's face changed slightly, and I didn't know what she thought, so I thanked Helan Mingshan.
Helan Mingshan now regards me as his master, and he is thanked by me, which is very unnatural, and he retires to me and goes to work again.
When I returned to the Qingxuan Palace, I saw that there was no one around, so I asked Qiu An, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Qiu An's face was solemn, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say it.
My heart seemed to be pulled to a high place, as if something bad was about to happen, but I still pretended to be calm, "Just say whatever you want, I won't be angry." ”
Qiu An glanced at me and inquired, "If this is really a family banquet, and foreign ministers and royal relatives are not allowed to participate, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will pay attention to some women who are expected to stay in the palace." ”
"Huh?" Although I made some bad preparations, I was still a little uneasy as soon as Qiu An's words came out, "Was it the same before?"
Qiu An shook his head, "I haven't participated in it before, but I've heard other aunts say that if there is a banquet attended by women outside the palace, the emperor does not invite courtiers, and it is called a family banquet, there may be plans to seal the concubine." ”
I sighed, "Trouble after trouble, I can't stop it even if I want to." ”
When Zhiman came, I asked her to help me find someone who was proficient in witchcraft and medicine, and I needed help.
"Sister, are you feeling unwell?" asked Zhiman with a worried face.
I shook my head, smiled at her, and said, "My sister is fine, she's healthy." ”
"That?" Zhiman was a little confused.
"Don't ask, my sister has her own tricks. ”
"Okay!" Zhiman didn't ask, and happily agreed to me.
"If there is one inside the Imperial City, there is no need to look outside. ”
Zhiman nodded, "I know my sister, my senior brother is a master of medical skills, and following my master, witchcraft is also extremely powerful." ”
"Oh?" I didn't expect this, I have seen the two disciples of Lord Wu Gong a few times, the eldest one, that is, the senior brother of Zhiman, is not good-looking, and he is a little shy, his name was changed to Zi Jin, the last time I went to Lord Wu Gong to see Condensation, it was still the way that Zi Jin led me, but I didn't expect him to be a master.
Actually, I don't blame me for being surprised, Qiu An didn't seem to expect that Lord Wugong was very fond of Zhiman, so those two male disciples seemed a little insignificant.
But Zhiman once told me that her master also loves her brother very much, but he doesn't like to show it.
Zhiman hesitated to ask me before leaving, "Sister, do I need to hide this from my master?"
"No, if Lord Witch asks, you can tell the truth. ”
Zhiman smiled very happily when she saw that I didn't embarrass her.
