Everything is going on quietly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the ninth day of October, the sky is clear, the wind is smooth, and the autumn is high and refreshing, it is a good day to go out for an outing to enjoy the chrysanthemum. And the queen's post is also scheduled on this day, inviting Miss Zhang and Miss Dong to enter the palace to appreciate chrysanthemums.

"If the courtiers are ringed, see the queen's mother, and the mother is blessed. When Miss Zhang entered the Hehuan Palace, she bowed down in the main hall and greeted Rong Ya.

"The courtier's daughter Xuan asked the queen to say goodbye, and the mother was blessed. Miss Dong followed closely and also saluted.

"The two sisters don't have to be polite, please get up quickly. Rong Ya said, "Today, invite the two sisters to the palace to enjoy the chrysanthemums and go to the banquet, don't blame the palace for being abrupt." ”

"Niangniang is polite, it is an honor for the courtiers to be invited by Niangniang. The two ladies said that it was a great blessing in their lives to be able to enter the palace and see the queen's mother.

"The weather is just right today, why don't the two sisters accompany the palace to the imperial garden for a walk? Although it is already late autumn, the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are blooming just right, and when the flowers are withering, it is even more valuable. Rong Ya said.

"But by the orders of the Queen. The two said, and then followed Rong Ya and walked towards the outside of the Hehuan Palace.

When she walked to the door of the hall, Rong Ya seemed to remember something, and instructed Mama Qi behind her: "Mama Qi, you go to Jianzhang Palace and call Miss Wu to come, she is the same age as the two young ladies, and she has no friends in the palace all day long. ”

"The slave obeys. Mama Qi answered, and then walked towards Jianzhang Palace.

Immediately afterwards, the group walked slowly to the Imperial Garden. Yun Yao helped Rong Ya to walk in the front, while Zhang Ruohuan and Dong Mingxuan followed behind Rong Ya left and right, and An An was divided, slowly admiring the scenery in the palace.

Miss Zhang is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, knowledgeable, every move is the appearance of everyone's ladies, and occasionally chatting with the queen is also witty, every word is beautiful, but it is pleasing to the eye. And this Miss Dong is the daughter of Dali Siqing, although she is also raised in front of everyone's ladies, but because she has been exposed to major cases in Daning over the years since she was a child, she has a calm temperament, does not like to talk, and is thoughtful.

This Miss Dong family doesn't seem to be keen on entering the palace, nor does she like to be close to the queen's mother, she is completely immersed in her own world, as if enjoying the beautiful scenery is her only purpose in entering the palace. This kind of temperament is exactly what Yun Yao appreciates.

"Yun Yao, is the banquet arranged for the two young ladies at noon today?" As she walked, Rong Ya suddenly turned her head and asked Yun Yao.

"Back to Niangniang's words, it's ready, in Broken Yuxuan. Yun Yao nodded and said.

"Have you invited the emperor?" Rong Ya asked again.

"Yesterday, I asked Gonggong Luo to mention it to the emperor, but the emperor hasn't replied yet, I don't know if he will come today. Yun Yao replied.

"This palace is looking at the two sisters who know books and etiquette, and wants the emperor to meet you, but he always resists the draft concubine. If the emperor knew that the two sisters were such talented and good-looking people, he would definitely agree. Rong Ya said to the two young ladies again.

"Everything is arranged by the queen. The two of them said in unison.

This way, from the Hehuan Hall to the Imperial Garden, just passing through the chrysanthemum garden, a large area of chrysanthemums in different forms, different varieties, different colors, through the cultivation of skilled craftsmen, blooming the most beautiful posture.

And at this time, Mama Qi and Wu Qianwen came from Jianzhang Palace and met Rong Ya and the two young ladies in the Imperial Garden.

The group gathered, and it coincided with the blooming of this flower, and it quickly became warm. Because Rong Ya does not have the frame of being a queen, she is also humble to others, and the other three young ladies are of the same age, even if they have different backgrounds, there are still many topics.

"The flowers in the palace are different from the outside, each of them is so noble and beautiful, which can be regarded as an eye-opener for the courtiers. Miss Zhang said.

"If Miss Zhang can get the favor of the emperor and enter the palace as a concubine, the beautiful scenery of this imperial garden can be appreciated whenever you want. Wu Qianwen replied along the way, and actually broke the purpose of the two young ladies entering the palace this time.

Yun Yao was silent on the side, but she only sighed in her heart, why did Wu Qianwen enter the palace for so long and still follow the Queen Mother, but she still spoke so straightforwardly?

Although the two young ladies did enter the palace for the matter of choosing a concubine, no one said it so blatantly. Even Rong Ya only invited the two young ladies into the palace in the name of appreciating chrysanthemums, but Wu Qianwen said this, and the embarrassment can be imagined.

"Miss Wu said with a smile, we were invited by the queen to enter the palace to enjoy the chrysanthemums and go to the banquet. You can't talk nonsense about entering the palace as a concubine, if someone hears it, I'm afraid that I will think that Miss Dong and I are delusional. Zhang Ruohuan said this, and in one sentence, he countered Wu Qianwen's previous statement.

No matter how stupid Wu Qianwen is, she can hear the meaning of Zhang Ruohuan's words, which is nothing more than asking her not to make this matter clear in front of so many people.

And when Wu Qianwen and Zhang Ruohuan were fighting back and forth, Miss Dong was not idle, but she did not tie up with the queen like Zhang Ruohuan, but approached Yun Yao beside the queen.

"You are Yun Yao, Young Envoy Yun?" Dong Mingxuan looked at Yun Yao, and his eyes revealed a very interested look.

She looked at Yun Yao, this appearance can only be regarded as an ordinary woman, in the palace, where beauties gather, Yun Yao is indeed not outstanding. But Yun Yao's body has a temperament that is difficult to ignore.

Is that...... A little fresh green in the flowers, a glimmer of light in the dark night, full of tranquility and peace, in this court of ups and downs, it seems so out of place.

"Yun Yao has seen Miss Dong. Yun Yao heard Dong Mingxuan talking to her, so she saluted slightly.

"I've heard my dad talk about you. Dong Mingxuan said, "Half a year ago, in the case of the sinking of corpses in the well, you calmly defended yourself and finally cleared up your grievances, which is really admirable." ”

Miss Dong laughed, but it was just luck. Yun Yao said humbly.

"So...... Is it also good luck to dissect a corpse and peel off the cocoon? In a girl's house, dissecting a corpse is not something that everyone can do. Miss Dong smiled, "My father often regarded what you said as a wise saying, which also helped him solve a lot of cases." ”

"What did I say?" Yun Yao was puzzled and curious.

She knew that Rumei died in the well that day, and Aunt Tassel blamed her, and she did something very out of the ordinary in order to save her life. At that time, there was a lot of commotion in the palace, not only did Imperial Doctor Li be invited to conduct an autopsy together, but the emperor and Gu Qingming were also present, and the scene at that time was more or less spread a lot.

But she didn't expect that her helpless move of walking in the deep palace was talked about and even praised by Dali Temple.

"You said at the time that people lie, but the evidence doesn't, and through the autopsy, the evidence presented on the corpse will tell us everything we want to know. Miss Dong recalled the appreciation in her eyes when her father said this to her, and couldn't help but sigh, "You know, it was your words that gave my father a great inspiration." He said that in the past, he solved cases and relied on prima facie evidence, that is, witnesses and testimony, but he forgot that the human heart is the most complicated. Later, every time he encountered a case, he started with the most fundamental corpse of the case, and indeed took a lot fewer detours than before. ”

"It's my honor to be able to help Master Dong. When Yun Yao heard this, her heart was slightly shocked, but she didn't intend to be arrogant.

"Do you know? I entered the palace today, not to appreciate the chrysanthemum banquet, nor to make the emperor take a fancy to me, but to see with my own eyes what this woman who was praised by my father was like. Miss Dong said, "Now that I see you, you are very different from what I imagined. ”

"Miss Dong said with a smile, I am just a palace maid in the inner palace, with a humble status, and I am not a person. Disappointing Miss Dong. Yun Yao said humbly, "The scenery in the palace is ingenious, Miss Dong can enjoy it." ”

In a conversation with Dong Mingxuan, Yun Yao always felt that this Miss Dong family had too much attention on herself. She is a person who does not want to be noticed, especially unfamiliar people, which can make her feel that everything about her is exposed to the sun, and there is no privacy.

What's more, she has more important things to do at this chrysanthemum banquet, if this Miss Dong keeps pestering her to ask questions, then her remaining plans will be in danger of being exposed.

Dong Mingxuan is also a smart person, she can see that Yun Yao doesn't want to talk to her more, so she nodded and said, "What Young Envoy Yun said is that I should indeed enjoy the flowers well, so as not to disappoint the queen's good intentions." ”

Just when a few people were talking, and it was relatively harmonious, Zhuzhi suddenly ran over in a hurry and said to Rong Ya: "Queen Qiyu, the emperor asked you to go to Changming Palace now, saying that there is something he wants to ask you." ”

"Do you know what's going on?" asked Rong Ya.

"Yes...... To Niangniang, you invited the two young ladies into the palace privately. Zhuzhi said, "The slave has already explained, saying that this is the consent of the Queen Mother, but the emperor is furious, and he still wants to let you go in person." ”

"It's okay, the emperor was more resistant to this matter, so I'll explain it to her in person. Rong Ya nodded, said, and then turned her head and instructed Yun Yao, "Yun Yao, you are familiar with the palace, so you will accompany a few young ladies for the palace." ”

"The slave obeys. Yun Yao nodded and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Rong Ya left with Zhuzhi and Mama Qi, leaving only Yun Yao and the three young ladies here to continue walking and enjoying the flowers.

Miss Dong didn't talk to Yun Yao anymore, but walked quietly to the side, listening to Wu Qianwen and Zhang Ruohuan talking, and only felt ridiculous for a while, because she listened for a long time and found that Wu Qianwen and Zhang Ruohuan were still talking about choosing a concubine.

"What is there to hide from this? The emperor refused to choose a concubine, which was something known to the entire harem and even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Wu Qianwen said, "Besides, even if the emperor relents and agrees to choose a concubine, it doesn't have to be you, isn't there still Miss Dong?"

Yun Yao didn't know what Wu Qianwen and Zhang Ruohuan said before, but she really heard Wu Qianwen's words.
