At night, the dark stars are dotted, and the cold wind in winter is still sassy, but it can't hide the strong spring feeling.

The sound of firecrackers is removed from the old year, the spring breeze warms the courtyard, and the red lights on both sides of the street are hung high, full of joy.

A luxurious car drove on the road to the palace, and Su Xuan snuggled in the arms of the cold in the car, and they were going to attend the annual Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

Luan chariot all the way, the carriage in the palace passes, every time the palace gate inner supervisor will set off a firecracker, take away the meaning of obscurity.

Each courtyard of the palace should hang the palace lamp, hang the longevity lamp on the steps, place the sky lantern under the steps, for the purpose of praying for blessings, and hang a number of golden lamps next to the lamp.

According to the Great Zhou customary ceremony, the concubines and princesses of the three products in each palace and each courtyard should go to the Yaohua Hall on Chinese New Year's Eve to pay tribute to the empress and concubine, and then accompany the empress to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

Qi Han is the eldest son of the emperor, and Su Juan is the princess of Lang, so it is inevitable to go to Yaohua Hall to meet Empress Wei.

Praying for the cold should go to the Chongming Hall with the princes to greet the emperor according to the common etiquette, and then move to the Council Hall, which, as the name suggests, is the place where the court discusses politics, and the banquet will be held there.

From the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, after the New Year's Celebration, the banquet and drink in the middle of the first day of the first month of the first month rested, and everyone went out of the palace and retreated.

Qi Han was worried about Su Juan, and secretly sent someone to protect him, but he was still not at ease, so he deliberately brought the maid Ning'er into the palace to take care of it, and his heart was much more peaceful.

The colorful lights were like vast stars, and Su Xuan, accompanied by Xiao Zhao, walked along the corridor towards the Yaohua Palace.

At this time, the palace should hang five-color octagonal round lanterns on the corridors and stone railings, and everywhere you go is festive and peaceful.

From a distance, I saw that there were many people and concubines waiting outside the Yaohua Palace, and they handed over the posts printed with the pattern of Jin Fu Xiangrui one by one according to their ranks, and they were passed on by the people of the Inner Prison Palace to be able to enter.

Qi Er, the palace maid in pale pink clothes in front of her, rushed out of the crowd with a panicked look, pushed Su Juan and almost fell, and was held by Xiao Zhao.

But just as she was about to topple, the woman stuffed a red splendid sachet in Su Juan's hand.

Su Juan hurriedly straightened his body, his eyes were full of astonishment, the sudden change was something Su Juan didn't expect, and he pinched the sachet with his hand, and he didn't know what it contained.

Seeing that the palace maid took advantage of the chaos and walked away, disappearing into the night.

Xiao Zhao said angrily: "Miss, are you okay! How can there be such a palace person in the palace who doesn't know how to be polite!"

Su Qian frowned, "Zhao'er, I'm fine, don't make a noise." ”

Xiao Zhaoxiu frowned slightly, and naturally saw the abnormality of the palace maid, just now the woman seemed to have stuffed something in the young lady's hand.

There are many people waiting outside the gate of Yaohua Hall to be summoned, and they have to wait for a moment and a half, and they are not in a hurry to see Empress Wei at one moment.

The feeling of uneasiness in Su Juan's heart struck, and the sudden appearance of the sachet made people feel ominous in their hearts. There are a lot of people here, and if you throw it away at this time, you will inevitably be discovered, and you don't know what is inside? If someone picks it up, if it is something that frames you, you will not be able to argue with it.

Whether you lose it or keep it, you have to find a secret place to find out what is in the sachet.

"Zhao'er, let's step aside first. The two women were about to leave.

In the crowd, a familiar figure emerged, the princess Qin of King Chun Qize, dressed in a light begonia red embroidery palace costume guarding outside the hall.

The last Laba banquet, I was scared by Mu Peiling's coercion and temptation, and I was inevitably afraid when I saw Su Xuan.

Hearing Xiao Zhao's voice not far away, he turned his eyes and saw that Su Juan and Xiao Zhao were not far away, panicked in his heart, covered his heart with his hand, turned around, and pretended not to see the two women.

Xiuya's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her whole face was wrinkled together, but she felt that it was inappropriate, wouldn't it be even more rude if she didn't say hello, Princess Lang was not terrible, what was terrible was the daughter of the Imperial History Mansion, which was a famous female star in Xuanzhou City.

Gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and finally mustered up the courage, closed his eyes lightly, turned around, and saluted: "Princess Chun Qin's greeting to Princess Lang!"

Originally, Su Juan wanted to leave with Xiao Zhao, but suddenly heard someone calling softly, but he couldn't leave at this time.

Su Juan still held the sachet in his hand, Xiao Zhao came to take care of it on the order of Qi Han, there is definitely something wrong with the object in the young lady's hand, and it is definitely a scourge to stay on the young lady.

directly stretched out his hand to hold Su Juan, and took the opportunity to snatch the sachet in his hand. But he smiled lightly on his face: "Miss, Princess Chun is waiting for you to reply!"

Although Su Xuan's heart was full of hesitation, and he knew that Xiao Zhao was protecting himself, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Yan Ran smiled lightly: "Why should Princess Chun be polite. ”

Princess Chun stood up directly, she didn't notice the sachet at all, she still had lingering palpitations about the Laba banquet, her neck leaned forward slightly, and her body leaned towards her side.

Busy whispering: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the matter of the last banquet, the concubine did not mention it to anyone. ”

Su Juan's eyebrows were slightly frowned when she heard this, wouldn't it make people suspicious when she said this, Princess Chun saw Su Wan frowning, afraid that Su Juan would not believe her words, and said in her ear: "Even the queen didn't say anything when she asked about the concubine." ”

When Su Juan heard this, her brows furrowed even deeper, the queen was suspicious of the events of that night, how much did the queen know about this matter?

At this time, the only way to divert the topic is to divert the topic, and now it is the concubines of various palaces and courtyards who are saluting the queen, and it will be their turn in a while.

"There are so many people outside, it's freezing cold, I'm afraid it will take some time. ”

"Yes, it's quite cold, the concubine has been waiting here for a long time, I heard that the crown princess will not attend this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. ”

Su Xuan heard that Li Shu would not attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, which was absolutely unreasonable, if it was according to Empress Wei's nature, how could such an opportunity to win people's hearts be missed.

"Princess Chun, does she know what happened? How could the crown princess not attend the banquet with such a noble status. ”

"The concubine body has just heard about it, and I heard that the princess has an unstable fetus and is in the prince's mansion. ”

Hearing the word "safe fetus", Su Juan's heart was like an ice edge, that is, cold and cold, at this time, Li Shu also knew to protect the child in her womb and stay in the house to raise the fetus with peace of mind.

Pity her unborn child who died in her hands, a trace of hatred rose from her heart, and her eyes were slightly red, is this retribution?

Suddenly, the concubines of the three grades in front of them all entered the Yaohua Palace, the crown princess was not there, and Su Juan was the eldest daughter-in-law of the emperor, the head of all the daughters-in-law.

Su Juan lowered her eyes and handed over her post with a respectful expression. The people of the Inner Prison Palace naturally recognized Princess Lang, and she was just acting according to etiquette.

"Princess Lang has arrived!"

After the voice, Su Juan, accompanied by Ning Er, stepped on the red brocade carpet and came to the hall of the Yaohua Palace.

Dressed in a red gorgeous palace dress, the pattern of the phoenix wearing a peony embroidered with gold and silver threads is graceful and gorgeous. The wide sleeves are fluttering, the cuffs are intricate brocade auspicious patterns, and the tassels under the phoenix crown hang down to the shoulders.

The phoenix eyes are slightly constricted, the queen's majesty is full, and there is invisibly coercion, which makes people feel awe when they see it.

On both sides of the side were concubines dressed in costumes, Su Wan bowed and saluted: "The queen is auspicious!

When Empress Wei on the phoenix couch saw Su Juan coming, the majesty on her face also faded a little, but she had a little more loving affection, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, but she seemed to love herself alone.

Hurriedly stretched out his hand to beckon this Su Wan and called: "Princess Lang, come over and let the palace take a look!"

In front of everyone's eyes, Empress Wei is so loving, I don't know what the intention of being the queen is? Su Juan didn't dare to slack off, lowered her eyes, and walked over with light steps.
