On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Double Ninth Festival, the flower cake festival in the palace is held at noon, so that you can enjoy the scenery in the imperial garden together in the afternoon, if you get the emperor's blue eyes, you can also get the precious flowers in the imperial garden, and you can also use the flowers to make cakes and bring them back, which is not a great honor.

Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan had breakfast, followed by Tao Lao after playing for a while, and then followed Tao Lao into the palace, the emperor, the queen mother, the queen and so on are the most noble people in the country, even if the flower cake festival is held in the palace, it is also the courtiers, concubines, young masters, and young ladies arrive early, and the monarchs and ministers are different.

Tao Taifu and Chu Wenqian will be separated from Chen Xiuyan soon after entering the palace, after all, there is a difference between men and women, women can go to the harem, but men cannot, the general family pays attention to the defense of men and women, and men and women cannot sit at the same table, let alone in the palace.

The secret guards of the Jin Palace's mansion are also not allowed to enter the palace, if they are discovered, it is taboo, so today Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan have no secret guards around, Chu Wenqian and Tao Lao are together, but Chen Xiuyan only has Mu Mama and Hongzhu to serve.

"If you can eat less things in the palace, you won't eat them, but you are proficient in medical skills, and you are followed by Mama Mu, so you don't have to worry about food and spices, just be careful Empress Dowager Wei, she suffered a loss in the hands of King Chengping, and she can't take the longevity of the county lord, but she may trouble you." Tao Lao sighed.

"I'll be careful, don't worry, no matter how I say I'm also the princess of the Jin Palace, even if the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with me, she can't beat me in front of so many people." Chen Xiuyan spoke to appease the two, and when she saw someone from the palace approaching, she didn't speak, and just followed the palace people quietly.

"Madam, that palace slave knows." Mama Mu didn't expect that it was the little palace maid who had stayed under her in the past who came to greet and lead the way.

"Qingya, I didn't expect it to be you." Mama Mu took the initiative to greet with a smile.

"The princess." The seventeen or eighteen-year-old little palace maid named Qingya bowed to Chen Xiuyan first, and then looked at Mama Mu, "I didn't expect Mama Mu to be out of the palace for only a year and a half, but I forgot some of the rules that should be followed, and the master hasn't opened his mouth yet, where is the turn to be a slave and maid to speak first." ”

Mama Mu's face was a little unsightly at the moment, although she knew the truth that people were cold when they took tea, but she didn't expect it to be so ungrateful.

"Don't bother with this, what rules do the people of our Jin Palace, it's not your turn to be evaluated by a little palace maid." Chen Xiuyan said, "Just show us the way." ”

Qingya looked at Chen Xiuyan when she heard this, and then smiled and made a gesture of please, and Mama Mu and Hongzhu followed half a step apart.

Chen Xiuyan's eyes were a little cold, of course a little palace maid didn't dare to use this attitude, it seems that the problem that Tao Lao was worried about before was a big problem, this Empress Dowager Wei is not easy to deal with, people want to be the highest among the women in the country, and there are many dead soldiers under their hands, and now they are in other people's territory, and there is really a lot of pressure.

Mama Mu was also worried on the side, sure enough, the women in this palace circled around a man, and their hands and eyes were all over the sky, which was a bit of a magic barrier, and I didn't know what else was waiting for my wife.

Qingya led Chen Xiuyan to Renshou Palace, and the ladies of the Decree first went to the Renshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and then ate the banquet together, and when the banquet was over, if the Empress Dowager did not participate, the Empress Niang led many Ladies to visit the Imperial Garden, which is the same process.

When Chen Xiuyan arrived, there were many people in the house, but there were also many vacant seats, and they came neither early nor late.

"The princess of the Jin Palace's palace has arrived." The father-in-law of the communication sang loudly when Chen Xiuyan and his party entered the courtyard.

Chen Xiuyan's smile remained the same, her steps were steady, and she slowly walked into the main hall of Renshou Palace, with two rows of seats on the left and right in the hall, the main seat was on the middle of the steps, and there were several seats on both sides of the main seat.

However, there are also acquaintances among them, the Duchess of Zheng Guo's Mansion, the Lady of the Prince, and the Duchess of Rongguo are also there, and the county lord of Duanning is also sitting in the front seat, and several people are all smiling and nodding to say hello when they see Chen Xiuyan coming in, and Chen Xiuyan also smiled in return.

Under the guidance of Qingya, Chen Xiuyan sat in the second seat on the left hand side, the seat was very forward, and there was an empty seat on the right hand side, and the one sitting across the door was the Duchess of Rongguo, and opposite the Duchess of Rongguo was the Duchess Zheng Guo.

"Sister Xiuyan." Chen Xiuyan turned around and saw the county lord of longevity, she sat on her right hand under the guidance of the palace maid.

The seats are seated according to the rank, the main seat must be the queen mother's, and the rest should belong to the queen and the concubines.

With the longevity county lord accompanied, Chen Xiuyan was not boring at all, one big and one small chatting, obviously not very separated, that is, the longevity county lord came to the palace with King Chengping.

"Princess Lu has arrived."

The hall was silent for a moment because of this sound, and Chen Xiuyan also turned her head in surprise to look at Princess Lu in the capital, why hadn't she heard of it before.

A slightly plump purple figure walked into the hall, with a beautiful face, even if there were some traces of time, but overall much younger than the age, looking at it was in his early thirties, but in fact he should be in his early forties.

Princess Lu sat on Chen Xiuyan's left hand, the first seat on the left hand.

"This won't be Xi Muqin's daughter-in-law from the countryside, sure enough, people rely on clothes and dress up in a decent way, I didn't expect to be able to enter the palace, it's really good luck." King Lu's face can be called kind and kind, but his words are not, they are too sharp, and they are coming up to Chen Xiuyan.

"Princess Lu is good, sure enough, the mother concubine is right, King Lu and Princess Lu are very compatible, and they are also very worthy of this title." Chen Xiuyan replied with a smile, "The mother concubine also said that Princess Lu is the best person, that is, the knife mouth and tofu heart, and today I can see that this is really the case." ”

Chen Xiuyan had Xi Muqin's one-on-one training before entering Beijing, just kidding, the forces of all parties in the capital broke up and explained to themselves, and after explaining the capital, they also talked about other titled princes, because the King of Jin and the King of Lu did not agree, they said the most, and Chen Xiuyan still remembers.

The mother concubine said that when she saw King Lu and his family, the momentum that the people of the Jin Wangfu wanted to show was that they were not afraid of you, of course, they also said that they wanted to use the scene outside, and the kind of meaning with cotton clips and needles was the best, Chen Xiuyan felt that she was okay today.

Chen Xiuyan's words were silent in the hall again, and even Princess Lu looked at Chen Xiuyan twice, and then sneered, "Xi Muqin really hasn't changed at all, the daughter-in-law who has become a monk halfway has been cultivated like her, it seems that more than ten years of harmony is really fake, so confident, Xi Yuan's impostor doesn't have such good luck, tsk." ”
