Chapter 259: Qinglian Palace Palace Banquet
Zhu Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and after reading the letter, he threw the letter into the incense burner next to him and burned it.
The people of Gaoxin Kingdom are very restless, is it because the Black Soul Temple has not found the matter on them?
During this time, the matter of the treasure map came to an end, and Zhu Jiu did not plan to meddle in it, just as Rong Ruo said in his previous letter from Lingnan, the general trend of the world, if it is divided for a long time, it will be divided for a long time, and it is not something that she can control alone.
Therefore, she doesn't force this treasure to stay, it will always fall into the hands of someone who is destined.
As the third envoy of the Black Soul Palace, she rarely uses this layer of identity, and usually uses more of the identity of the owner of the Cinnabar Building, collecting some information, which gathers news from all over the world, which is more accurate than the news of the Xuanyuan Imperial Court.
After having made a decision in his heart about the matter of the seventeenth prince of Gaoxin Kingdom, Zhu Jiu quickly wrote a reply, sent the letter crow away, and got up and put on a white brocade robe that was easy to move.
This set of brocade clothes has a moire pattern, which can be used by both men and women, but when used on men, it will make people a little more bookish, and it can be used on women, so that people will be more elegant and free.
In addition, she has a bright appearance, and her eyebrows and eyes are more calm and profound than ordinary women, and she looks like she has the power of an emperor, which makes people unconsciously put a lot of respect in front of her.
Hanmei pushed the door in, and when she was waiting for her to wash, when she saw her dress, she was a little amazed by her, and couldn't help but praise: "The master is more dazzling than in the past."
When people see it, they can't help but sigh: This is the majesty and bearing that the queen of Xuanyuan Country should have!
Even if you call her an empress, it's okay.
Zhu Jiu knew that she was a little less tender than the average daughter's family, but she didn't expect to hear Hanmei's rainbow fart early in the morning, so she smiled and patted her, "Okay, don't pat the sycophants, isn't there a banquet today?" Let's go to Qinglian Palace earlier."
Qinglian Palace is the main palace of the summer palace, which is not inhabited by anyone, it is a place used to entertain palace concubines and courtiers, and it is also a rare place for the harem to have fun with the previous dynasty.
This time he came to the summer palace, in addition to Zhu Jiu bringing the people from the harem, Xuanyuan Che also brought the heroes of the court, and these ministers can also bring their families together.
Before the state of Xuanyuan was not stable, the imperial court was still in charge, so many young people were ordered by the family since they were young, and later Xuanyuan Che became the master of Xuanyuan, and the situation in the imperial capital was reshuffled, and some marriage contracts could not be counted.
At this time, the children had grown up, and many of them had reached the age of marriage, but no one else in the entire court could get the reward of His Majesty's marriage except for Li Chunyue, who had been able to get His Majesty's marriage before.
Therefore, these ministers invariably brought their families and communicated with the ladies of the family, and they would not waste this opportunity to come to escape the summer.
At today's palace banquet, men and women sit separately, which also means looking at each other.
As the queen, Zhu Jiu will first set up a banquet in Qinglian Palace today, so that these ladies of the back house can get to know each other.
Just as mentioned before, the imperial capital has been reshuffled, and the current magnates are different from the past, and the ladies of the back house need such an opportunity to make friends.
At this time, at the feast.
There have already been palace people standing up, and today is a rare palace banquet, and even the ladies of the back house of the officials of the previous dynasty will come, so none of the palace concubines are late this time, and they arrived at their places early to sit down.
They sat in the area near the queen, and the area on the right was where the ladies of the back house were located.
Because the ladies of the back house live in the periphery of the summer palace, they come relatively late, and at this time they have to spend a lot of etiquette outside, and the palace concubines are somewhat comfortable gathering together to talk.
"I didn't expect this summer trip to be so lively, these fruits are also exceptionally sweet and delicious, I don't know what big dishes will be served later?"
"Don't just know how to eat, I heard that the ladies and ladies who came to the banquet this time have their own identities, and my mother is also among them, I don't know if I can find a chance to meet her later."
"Liu Baolin, I really envy you, your home is in the capital, unlike me, my hometown is in Anyang Mansion, far away from the imperial capital, this time my father and mother couldn't come over, I want to see it."
They don't know what year or month they will have to wait......
Not all the concubines' families are in the capital, and there are also palace concubines who come to the capital far away from their hometowns, and they may not have a chance to reunite with their families once a year, and when they enter the harem, they are like a kite with a broken string, and it will be difficult to go back.
Liu Baolin is a round-faced and lively girl, and when she heard someone say this, she comforted her: "Don't think about it, can't you still send a letter to your family? If you really miss them, write to them."
The development of Xuanyuan Kingdom is getting better and better, the dart industry is rising, and now everything is sent quickly, and there is no need to worry about the loss of family letters, and the imperial court also has relevant laws, and the relevant laws are still improving, the lives of the people are getting better and better, and there are many fewer women who are criminals.
And because the queen mother set up a women's school in Beixuanyuan before and encouraged women to enter the court as officials, the status of women is now much higher than before, even if they are palace concubines in the palace, life is better than that of ordinary women outside.
And the queen mother is a fair person, and villains are not allowed to oppress the palace concubines in the harem, so they are also well taken care of by the palace people.
While everyone was talking, a woman with deep facial features was wearing a dress, and she was the Zhaoyi Niangniang of the third grade, named Zu Menglan.
Because she is the princess sent by Loulan to kiss, and Loulan has always been good friends with Xuanyuan, so in the palace at present, except for Concubine He, she is of the highest grade.
But as soon as she entered the palace, she still carried the rules of Loulan's side, and the Chinese she spoke was not good, and she often caused trouble, so the palace concubines didn't like her very much, and when they saw her coming, they even spoke quietly, which obviously excluded her.
Zu Menglan had a Loulan maid who was married by her side, and she also had the same deep appearance as her, a pair of dark brown eyes swept over these women contemptuously, and then said to Zu Menglan: "Zhaoyi Niangniang, these rouge vulgar fans are really cheesy, do they think that they can please His Majesty the Emperor by dressing up like this? You are the first beauty in our Loulan country, you can give full play to your charm later, and strive to make His Majesty the Emperor fascinated by you! You're the only one!".
"Nana, don't talk like that."
Zu Menglan yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily.
Seeing this, Nana hurriedly leaned over and whispered, "Zhaoyi Niangniang, didn't you sleep well?" You weren't in the palace last night, where did you go to sleep?"
"I went to sleep with the queen......
Zu Menglan was about to share her good sleep experience last night with the little maid, when Nana suddenly covered her mouth and looked around vigilantly, and then let go of her, shocked: "Zhaoyi Niangniang, you don't want to die? How dare you go to sleep with the queen mother! Don't you know who she is?"
"Hmm...... She's the Queen?"
Zu Menglan looked at her in a daze, Nana looked helpless, with full fear: "That's Zhu Jiu! The one who is called the Female Yama King by the countries of the Western Regions!"
