There are five or six hundred tables in the lobby of the Qianqing Palace, all of which are made of fine mahogany, and various peony patterns are carved on the tabletop, depicting gold and silver, and under the illumination of the light, they are lifelike.

Princess Jiahui came to the main seat in the lobby and sat down, and all the people who came to the birthday party stood up at this time to salute Princess Jiahui and congratulate Princess Jiahui on her happy nineteenth birthday.

Princess Jiahui smiled and waved her hand to everyone, and after everyone thanked Princess Jiahui, they all sat down one after another.

This group of people were all dressed gorgeously, as soon as the music sounded, they danced in the lobby and danced superbly, and the lively atmosphere was immediately brought up, and all the people who came to the birthday party were not as restrained as when they first came in, they all watched the dance, beat the beat, and hummed a little song along with the music, which was very lively.

Qiu Yu and the others also watched with relish, they were eating and admiring at the same time, and they all looked east and west from time to time, immersed in this lively atmosphere.

After the dance was adjusted for more than half an hour to warm up, a wave of acrobatic performers came out of the backstage, some of them had a big vat, some spit fireballs, some kicked flying knives, and all of them performed wonderful and exciting, and everyone who watched it was addicted and excited.

Qiu Yu and several of them are far away from the center, and they don't see the acrobatic performances very clearly, and they themselves live in the folk, for these street performances, they have seen it many times, and they will see it at the temple fair every year, and they don't think it's very good-looking.

Qiu Yu stood up at this time, he shook his head and looked at the other people, "It's boring, these performances are the ones we often see, I'm a little bored to watch, I'd better go out and breathe, there are too many people here, and the noise makes my head hurt." ”

After saying that, he also rubbed his head with his hands from time to time to relieve the pain, and he planned to turn around and leave here and go out for a walk.

The rest of the people also felt the same way after hearing this, they all felt that there were too many people here, which was similar to rushing to the temple fair, so they all went out with Qiu Yu and left the Qianqing Palace.

When everyone was not paying attention, several of them sneaked out of the lobby together and came outside, at this time, the outside of the Qianqing Palace was also brightly lit, and from time to time there were officers and soldiers walking back and forth patrolling.

When they came to the center of the square, where the sound of singing and dancing could no longer be heard, several people sat on the stone tables and stone benches in the center of the square, and they looked up at the bright moonlight, and felt that they could finally stay quiet for a while.

"It's good in this palace, but how do you feel, there is no comfort in our own home here, you see, the tall walls around it, the officers and soldiers on patrol, how can it seem like a cage?" Chen Hongsheng said to them with emotion while pointing to the walls of the palace.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful if people hear us again, and we'll be in prison again. Sun Yueling tugged on Chen Hongsheng's sleeve and reminded her a little coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I just hope that Princess Jiahui's birthday party will end soon, I want to go home early, you see we were put into the Qianqing Palace, I can't go anywhere else to see, I want to see the world this time, it seems that this time it can only end here, how to come and how to go back, I have long heard that the imperial garden in the palace is the best, all kinds of rare beasts, all kinds of strange flowers and plants, unfortunately, I can't see it." “

The more Chen Hongsheng spoke, the more depressed he became, and he complained and looked at a few people and said it.

"Yes, you said that you came to the palace once, and you have been watched to walk here, and you will have to watch and walk back after a while, it's really boring, I don't think the people here are very reasonable, a eunuch arrested us, and almost went to prison, I really didn't want to come if I knew it. Sun Yueling also shook her head with some complaint and blurted out.

At this time, Princess Jiahui, who was in the lobby, was enjoying the singing and dancing, while coping with the toasts of the officials, and also exchanged a few words of greetings from time to time.

Princess Jiahui's attention was not on these singing and dancing and officials at all, she subconsciously looked towards the table of the five great families, and she found that the people of the five great families were gone, and only their heads were still drinking and talking.

Princess Jiahui looked around the lobby with some doubts, looking for a few of them, but she searched for a long time and found no trace of them.

After Princess Jiahui thought for a while, she raised her hand and called the palace maid standing beside her, "Xiaoyun, you go to the door and ask to see if anyone has gone out during the banquet." ”

"All right, Princess, I'll go. Xiao Yun immediately lowered his head slightly, then turned around and ran towards the door with small steps.

After Princess Jiahui watched Xiaoyun leave, she continued to accept the toasts from others, but the smile on her face was much less, and after about twenty minutes, Xiaoyun trotted back and came to Princess Jiahui's side.

"Did you ask me? Has anyone ever gone out?" Princess Jiahui asked her a little impatiently when she saw Xiaoyun coming back.

Xiaoyun nodded slightly, leaned into Princess Jiahui's ear, and whispered to her, "Princess, I asked the guards at the door, and they said that just now, a few young people went out, and they said that they wanted to go out to the square to breathe, and they haven't come back yet." ”

Princess Jiahui nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and thought, "It seems that these people are all from the people, they must not be able to stand the atmosphere of this palace, and it is okay to let them go out to breathe." “

Princess Jiahui was pondering when she suddenly heard a sharp shout, "The emperor has arrived." “

At this time, two eunuchs walked in, and a person came out behind the two eunuchs, only to see this person, wearing a dragon robe, with a golden body and a precious jewel on his head, which also shone brightly under the light.

He looked to be about fifty years old, overly tall, and his complexion was a little yellow, but he was full of energy, and the expression on his face was solemn, and his eyebrows were thick, and he was not angry.

All the people present immediately stopped the noise when they saw the emperor come in, and the singing and dancing also stopped consciously, and they all knelt down and shouted, "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
