Chapter 179: Trailing

Feng Zhirong is close to Zhao Mingyun on weekdays and doesn't mention it, but she really can't figure out this 10,000 yuan.

In her opinion, Wan Yuan is really an ordinary girl on the surface, but she always seems to deliberately hide her performance, as if she is avoiding something. At first, Feng Zhirong also took this point of hers to heart, but later because she wanted to concentrate on getting close to Yang Ruai and Zhao Mingyun, she also put this point down.

Now that I heard the two concubines mention the marriage contract of 10,000 yuan, the thoughts in my heart have quietly floated again.

This Winter Solstice Palace Banquet is insignificant to Feng Zhirong, and there is no particularly important task to calculate, as long as she gets close to Zhao Mingyun and Yang Ruai after the palace banquet.

Although King Jing, or rather the emperor behind it, hinted that the task to be given to her was to find out the network of hundreds of officials that might be centered on Zhao Guangben, the secretary of the ministry, and then uncover the activities of friends that even the emperor could not confirm in private. But she asked herself, she had struggled for several nights, and knew that she and Zhao Mingyun and Yang Ruai were in a sincere relationship, so although this task was to be undertaken, she also secretly decided to keep these two friends safe no matter what horrific secrets she dug up.

With this in mind, Feng Zhirong followed the queue to the garden north of Anxiu Palace.

There are two ways to get to the garden north of Anxiu Palace, one around the other in the north hall of Anxiu Palace.

These two gates also face the Huiyue Pond in the east and the Sun-Reflecting Pond in the west, and there is also a pavilion with the same name next to each of the two pools, except for the different shapes of the pools, the overall arrangement is almost symmetrical.

Concubine Shun and Concubine Zhuang were followed by a large number of people.

After walking out of the north hall, the palace maids of the ladies of each family will also follow in order, and there are more than 70 people including Concubine Shun and their palace maids, which is very spectacular.

Feng Zhirong was Zhao Mingyun and Wan Yuan Zhen walking side by side, but they didn't say a word between them, just quietly listened to the movements of Concubine Shun and the others in front of them, so Feng Zhirong focused her attention on the palace concubines in front of her, but she couldn't hear anything.

Since the leader did not speak, the voices behind him gradually quieted down, which made the atmosphere of the team seem a little wrong.

Concubine Shun and Concubine Zhuang came to the fork of the pond to the east and west respectively. Although Concubine Shun is listed as a concubine with Concubine Zhuang, after all, she married early and is older, so every time such trivial matters are up to her, she has to make up her mind, but this time she asked Concubine Zhuang: "My sister rarely has the opportunity to come to Anxiu Palace, I don't know which side of the scenery my sister wants to see first this time?" ”

Concubine Zhuang smiled and said, "Why did my sister ask about my sister?" My sister hosted the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet here, and my sister didn't see the scenery at first sight, so let's take a look at it first? ”

"Okay!" Concubine Shun hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "Sister, guess which way to go first in this palace?" ”

Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Sister is really Yaxing, this Lantern Festival has not yet arrived, but she is already in a hurry to guess the riddle!" Concubine Zhuang's words are a little bit of a thought, as if it literally means that Concubine Shun is big and anxious, and does not keep her duty.

Hong Jieyu on the side felt that Concubine Shun must want to frustrate Concubine Zhuang's spirit at this time, so she also said: "Your Majesty used to praise Concubine Zhuang's sister for reading a lot and being very smart, and today my sister is fortunate to be able to see Concubine Zhuang show her skills, which is really blessed." ”

Concubine Zhuang listened to a pair of ridiculous eyes and bent into the moon: "Sister Jieyu really loves to laugh, reading a lot of books means that everything has a foundation, which is different from guessing." ”

Concubine Shun raised her eyebrows, and was not impressed by Fang Cai's comings and goings, but said: "It's just a small game, why don't you guess my sister?" ”

Concubine Zhuang's mind turned around and said, "If my sister guesses wrong, please don't laugh at it." ”

Concubine Shun's thin lips trembled, and then she said, "It's just a game, my sister is serious." ”

"In that case, my sister is disrespectful." Concubine Zhuang smiled and said, "My sister guessed that when my sister came to Anxiu Palace in the Mid-Autumn Festival, she would go to the Huiyue Pool in the east first...... My sister is right? ”

Concubine Shun's eyebrows moved, and she said, "But I guessed right for my sister." ”

Liu Zhaorong on the side heard Concubine Zhuang guess, so he praised: "Sister is so amazing!" ”

Hong Jieyu snorted and said, "There are only two places left and right, but there is half a chance that you can guess it!" ”

Concubine Shun glanced at the two of them, and then said to Concubine Zhuang again: "How did my sister guess?" ”

Concubine Zhuang said: "This Huiyue Pond is located in the east, it is a departure - this departure has the meaning of beauty, as the so-called sun and moon are beautiful in the sky, the grass and trees in the hundred grains are beautiful in the earth, and the heavy light is beautiful and positive, and it is transformed into the world...... No matter what, it's better than the Kan position, my sister Su Xi visited the gossip and the five elements - when a few of our sisters entered the palace together, when His Majesty chose the palace for us, didn't my sister choose the Zhaosheng Palace because of this? ”

A look of gloom flashed on Concubine Shun's face when she heard this, and Hong Jieyu saw that something was wrong, so she said: "Sister Concubine Zhuang is not right, the palace position back then was ranked by the rank of several of our sisters, and below the queen is Sister Shun, Sister Concubine Zhuang is not right to say so." ”

"If that's the case, Sister Xian should also be ranked first." Concubine Zhuang smiled: "But maybe when the palace was arranged, the queen also took into account the order of the heirs of our people!" If this is the case, Sister Shun should be the first. Saying this, he picked up Hong Jieyu's childless heart disease and scars fiercely.

"It's not interesting to always mention the past, since my sister guessed it, I should have gone to the Yingsun Pool at the other end, but seeing that my sister seems to have a lot of complaints about this position, it's better to go to Huiyue Pool again." said, without waiting for Concubine Zhuang to agree, she walked over with Hong Jieyu.

Concubine Zhuang didn't say anything when she heard Concubine Shun's slightly sarcastic words, but just maintained her elegant and calm appearance and said: "Sister, this is just a blind guess, but I didn't think of it, but I obeyed my sister's meaning." Although Concubine Zhuang's mouth said that it was in line with Concubine Shun's wishes, in fact, the meaning was the opposite, but Concubine Shun didn't plan to take this stubble, just snorted lightly, and said: "If my sister also wants to go to the other side to see, it's not too late to go over later, after all, I will get the Imperial Garden to be with Your Majesty later, if my sister is greedy for the scenery of Anxiu Palace, this palace can also intercede with Your Majesty." ”

Concubine Zhuang smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

Later, the ladies of Anxiu Palace saw that the two big Buddhas and two little Bodhisattvas in front of them began to move again, so they slowly followed.

The Huiyue Pavilion next to Huiyue Pond can only accommodate about six people, and when you turn a corner to enter the pavilion, you should be seated by the two palace concubines with the highest ranks. After all, Concubine Shun and Concubine Zhuang are the hosts of the winter solstice palace banquet in Anxiu Palace, and they also ordered a lady from Anxiu Palace to sit in the pavilion, and the rest of the girls were sent away by casually saying a few words that were appropriate to the situation.

Concubine Shun unexpectedly let Wan Yuan really sit in her lower seat, while Concubine Zhuang naturally let Zhao Mingyun accompany her, and the future daughter-in-law of the two waited on the side, and the clear barriers between them looked even more conspicuous.

Feng Zhirong looked at the expressions of Wan Yuan Zhen and Zhao Mingyun for a long time, and then silently mixed in the crowd and retreated, but she didn't expect that among the daughters of the Anxiu Palace, someone had already targeted herself and quietly followed behind.
