In the Daliang Palace, Mrs. Shen was wearing the costume of a life wife and sitting in front of the Queen Mother solemnly.

The Empress Dowager Liang and Mrs. Shen are of the same age, but their faces look older because of the previous palace battles, but their eyes are still very sharp. Like all women from northern Xinjiang, she has a heroic spirit between her eyebrows and eyes, and her hair is meticulously combed.

At this moment, the Queen Mother was wearing a long armor inlaid with malachite, knocking on the table one by one, and listening to Mrs. Shen became more and more nervous.

After a long time, the Queen Mother slowly spoke: "This matter is very important, and the mourning family knows about it, and it will be reported to the emperor." The old sister has worked hard to enter the palace today, and the flower room has recently cultivated a lot of new chrysanthemum varieties, so you can take two pots and go. ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother called the female official who was close to her again: "Ruyi, I remember that there are still a few silk horses given to me by the queen in the treasury, and the bright color is suitable for the little girl, so give it to the little girls of the Ye family." The day before yesterday, the emperor also gave me a pair of chess made of warm jade, and now I don't have much energy to tinker with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I also gave it to my old sister. You are in charge of the rest, and don't treat her badly. ”

Mrs. Shen was a little flattered, she had often entered the palace for so many years, and the rewards were often obtained, but she had never been so heavy this time, and she knelt down to thank her.

The Queen Mother asked the female official to help Mrs. Shen up, with a relaxed expression: "You have made a meritorious service today, so you don't need to be polite." It's not too early, I won't keep you, auspicious, send Mrs. Shen out of the palace. ”

The female officer responded with a smile.

When Mrs. Shen walked out of the palace gate, she was still in a trance.

After getting along for so many years, Mrs. Shen can more or less understand the thoughts of the queen mother, and this rumor discovered by Sister Qiong, if she leaves it alone, I am afraid that it will really break the sky.

Mrs. Shen stroked her chest, and when she turned around, she saw that the sunset was like blood, encroaching on the entire palace city.

If she could, she wouldn't want to go into the palace for such a thing again.

In the depths of the palace, the female official glanced at the Queen Mother's expression, and when she saw that she was thoughtful, she asked, "Is the Queen Mother still worried about the news brought by Mrs. Shen?" ”

"yes." The Queen Mother sighed, "I know best that those officials above the court, one by one, do not seek merit but seek no fault, they will not take such a thing seriously." But how can this be a trivial matter, if you don't get it right, it's a matter of rebellion! ”

The female official covered her mouth in surprise "Ah", and was glanced at by the Queen Mother and went down to receive the punishment herself, and another older female official Ruyi stepped forward to pinch her leg for the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is worried, the official family is suspicious again, guess the head of King Sheng?" ”

The Queen Mother reprimanded: "What King Sheng, it's the rebel Ji Ronghui, don't call it wrong." ”

Ruyi said yes, the queen mother waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's drive, mourning family to meet the emperor." ”

Among the things rewarded by the Queen Mother, in addition to the warm jade chess pieces, the two pots of chrysanthemums are the most precious, respectively the famous red clothes and green clothes and ten-zhang curtains in the chrysanthemums.

Mrs. Shen loves chrysanthemums, and every autumn she has to hold a chrysanthemum banquet at home, and this year she is even more happy to get these two pots of treasures, and she sent invitations to each family soon after returning from the palace.

Ye Qiong also sent one to He Yanyan.

Calculating the time, the He family should have finished studying the notes of the eldest uncle and father, and it was time for He Yanyan to put the letter of rebellion into her father's study.

Ye Qiong played with the warm jade chess pieces that her grandmother gave her, and dropped a piece on the chessboard.

The Ye family's chrysanthemum banquet is well-known in the capital.

In the end, my grandfather was respected as the emperor, and the Ye family was also a noble family in the capital, and there were contacts with several Wenchen families from time to time.

Of course, the most important reason for the chrysanthemum banquet to become famous is the identity of her grandmother, Mrs. Shen, the second daughter of the Marquis of Wujing in Northern Xinjiang, and the vision of Ye Qiong's mother, the Xie family, the Xie family's famous family in Wuyi Lane, Jiangnan. Xie is capable, and can make a hundred kinds of delicacies with chrysanthemums, which has started the reputation of chrysanthemum banquet.

Early in the morning, Ye Qiong was pulled up by Su Kite and Liuying to dress up, these two maids picked for a long time, and it was not until the sun was on the tip that they selected a complete set for Ye Qiong, Ye Qiong yawned and manipulated them arbitrarily.

Liuying was skillful, personally put on makeup for Ye Qiong, and when the painting was finished, the two maids inhaled together, Ye Qiong impatiently picked up the mirror and took a look, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

The girl's hair in the mirror is tied into a fairy bun, and the sideburns are pinned with a spring hairpin with a jade pot of branches, a goose egg face, willow leaf eyebrows, and almond eyes, which are obviously delicate and lovely appearances, but because of the alienation and laziness between the eyebrows and eyes, the cuteness is diluted, and some coldness is added.

The clothes chosen by the warbler and the kite, the top is a short shirt embroidered with chrysanthemums in snow blue, and the lower skirt is a golden horse face skirt with a water blue water ripple circle, covered with a moon-white flower shawl, which makes Ye Qiong slim and jade like a hibiscus out of the water.

I didn't care about my girlish appearance for a long time, but at this moment, Ye Qiong remembered that she had also looked like a girl.

It's no wonder He Yanyan is so jealous of herself.

Ye Qiong smiled at herself in the mirror.

Since you have envious capital, make good use of it to make others more jealous.

When Ye Qiong came out to greet He Yanyan, she clearly saw the other party's instantly distorted face and the irrepressible resentment in her eyes.

Ye Qiong was in a good mood, and the smile on her face was sincere: "Yan Yan, your pomegranate skirt today is really good-looking!" ”

He Yanyan suppressed the sourness in her heart and said with a forced smile: "You are also very good-looking today." ”

Ye Qiong smiled and did not respond.

There are already many visitors to the hospital.

Sitting in the center and being accompanied by the Xie family was Ye Fuxian, the eldest aunt who has now become Mrs. Huai'enhou, she has a beautiful posture, and her words are all about the eldest daughter who is being the concubine of the third prince, and even the Xie family is a little cold and perfunctory to her. It's just that the eldest aunt always likes to hold on to Xie's head, but her eyes keep rolling to Xie's nod cui head.

Mrs. Lu was also there, she was dressed plainly, sitting in the corner with a tea cup in her hand, and nodded to her with a smile when she saw Ye Qiong coming over. There were also several civil officials and female dependents sitting next to her, Ye Qiong could only recognize one of them as the Xie family in the capital, but she couldn't say which room was in place. She didn't know them well, so she didn't come over.

On the other side is the Ye family's big room and the second room, the eldest aunt Hu is talking with the second aunt Jiang talking with their heads together, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Standing next to the eldest aunt was the lobby sister-in-law Su Shi, who had just married not long ago, and she was helping the eldest aunt pull her little cousin Ye Po, and smiled shyly when she saw Ye Qiong coming.

Ye Qiong smiled back.

Su is the person Ye Qiong admired the most in her previous life, except for her lobby sister Ye Yu. In his previous life, Su had just married the lobby brother Ye Lang, and he encountered a soul-calling case. At that time, Lang's cousin had just passed his twentieth birthday and was beheaded along with his father and uncle. The eldest aunt Hu was grief-stricken, and went to her mother's Guozi Priest's Restaurant for help, but was swept away, and went to a sudden illness in anger.

At that time, even Ye Qiong thought that the big house was going to break up, but she didn't expect the always shy and gentle Su Shi to stand up, take care of the funeral of the entire big house as pregnant, and take money from the dowry to help her little cousin Ye Po not be cold and hungry on the way to exile.

It's a pity that in the previous life, the Su family had a difficult birth, one corpse and two lives, and the big house and one vein were cut off from then on.

Ye Qiong estimated that Su was pregnant at this time, so she stepped forward to lead her little cousin Ye Po for her: "Sister-in-law in the lobby, take a rest, I'll take Brother Po to eat candy." ”

Su Shi glanced at her gratefully, and said quietly: "Don't hide it from Sister Qiong, I was just diagnosed with pregnancy a few days ago, and I didn't dare to let my mother know because the fetus was unstable, so thank you for taking care of Brother Po'er." ”

Ye Qiong smiled and congratulated.

On the other side, He Yanyan followed Ye Qiong in, and when she saw that Ye Qiong couldn't take care of herself, she chatted with Ye Mei and Ye Qin, who were following her second aunt.

Ye Mei is the daughter of the second room, and she can be regarded as a pet. Ye Qin is a concubine and has been raised under the knees of her second aunt Jiang.

The three of them got together and muttered something to the letter, but it seemed that they were having a good conversation.

Ye Qiong took Ye Po to sit on the side, watching him eat sugar, but Yu Guang kept paying attention to He Yanyan's side.

Sure enough, after another burst of laughter on Ye Mei's side, He Yanyan walked over with a smile and asked, "Qiong'er, didn't you borrow two poetry books from me last time, can you take me to your father's study this time, I want to return it myself and borrow a new one." ”

Ye Qiong wiped Ye Po's mouth, and asked in surprise when she heard the words: "It's good if you let me bring it in directly, why do you have to go to the study?" ”

He Yanyan was not a smart person, and she was so anxious that she sweated when she heard this: "I, I just want to go and see what your father's study is like, didn't you say that your father would make some carpentry models or something, I really want to see it with my own eyes!" ”

Ye Qiong let out a long "oh-" sound, and heard He Yanyan's heartbeat follow one after another, and Ye Qiong said, "Okay, I'll take you over." Pogoer, there is still a fun Luban lock in my father's house, let's go and see it together, how about it? ”

Ye Po heard that there was something funny, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, Sister Joan take me quickly!" ”

He Yanyan just wanted to say don't take Ye Po with her, the pair of cousins and brothers had already walked hand in hand, and turned around to urge her to slow down, she stomped her feet and chased after her.

The Ye family is not big, but Ye Qiong leads Ye Po to stop and go.

Children are naturally playful and noisy, Ye Po can't walk when he sees beautiful butterflies and grasshoppers, and he hears birds chirping in the trees and makes noise about climbing the trees.

Ye Qiong smiled and didn't stop it, but let the mother-in-law who followed her go to get a small ladder, and a group of people gathered under the tree and looked up to watch Ye Po dig out the bird's nest, while carefully protecting it, and encouraging him with a smile: "Young Master Po climbed really well." ”

He Yanyan stood under the tree and was so anxious that she could only swallow her anger, and she had to smile with Ye Qiong and praise Ye Po for being strong and strong.

He Yanyan quietly covered her chest and breathed, desperately telling herself: Don't worry, if the letter is not hidden......

I will be killed by my brother and father.

When Ye Po was satisfied with the bird's egg and gave it to Ye Qiong, the three of them had already spent nearly half an hour on this short road.

He Yanyan finally saw the door of the study, Ye Qiong deliberately threw the maltose that was still hanging on Ye Po's saliva on her pomegranate skirt, He Yanyan immediately screamed, pointing at Ye Po so angry that her cheeks trembled, and she was about to scold and thought of the letter in her arms, and she couldn't go up and down in one breath, which made her face red.

Ye Qiong pulled Ye Po, who was still ignorant, to apologize: "Eh, I'm sorry, Yanyan, Brother Po is still a child, he didn't mean to." ”

He Yanyan was furious and scolded: "Why didn't it mean it!"

Ye Qiong sighed in embarrassment: "Okay, okay, Yan Yan, you go to the study and wait for a while, Po Ge'er can't do without me, I'll take him to find your maid and ask her to give you a change of clothes." ”

He Yanyan's heart moved, but her face was still pretending to be angry: "Okay, I'll go in and wait for a while, you guys hurry up." ”

Ye Qiong nodded, pulled Ye Po to shrink under the study window, and after seeing He Yanyan put down a letter, she quietly came out and found a passing maid to report the news and handed Ye Po to her.

After all, it was a man's study, Ye Qiong came back and led He Yanyan to the special dressing room, took advantage of her time to change clothes, turned back to the study, received the letter, carried it in her arms, and walked out quickly, but unexpectedly walked too quickly and bumped into a person head-on.

The man's eyes were quick, and he reached out and grabbed Ye Qiong's wrist to help her stand firmly.

Ye Qiong covered her nose and looked up, who is it if the person who came is not Lu Shaodan?

"I'm looking for you. Why are you in such a hurry? What bad things are you preparing again? Lu Shaodan looked at her with his chest crossed, and saw that she was dressed up today, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Ye Qiong was silent and tightened the letter in her arms.

"It seems to be." Lu Shaodan stopped asking and changed the topic, "Don't do the same dangerous thing as last time, I can't come to save you at any time." If there is a next time, I will ......"

I wanted to say that I wouldn't help her anymore, but I still couldn't bear to say it. The boy snorted and only said, "Anyway, don't have a next time." ”

After speaking, Lu Shaodan flew up to the courtyard wall, leaving only Ye Qiong's back that came and went like the wind.

Ye Qiong was stunned in place and laughed to herself. Why laughing, even she doesn't know.

Still holding the letter in her arms, Ye Qiong was anxious to know the content of the letter, so she asked the maid to bring a message to the banquet saying that she was unwell.

After returning to Qionghua Courtyard to retire everyone, Ye Qiong took out the letter from her arms.

The envelope was not sealed for the sake of worn.

Ye Qiong took out the letter paper and read it, and after reading only one line, she almost couldn't hold the thin piece of paper, only feeling that it weighed a thousand pounds.

After reading the last word, Ye Qiong could barely stand, and after sitting down in a daze, he was angry at the top.

The letter paper slipped from Ye Qiong's hand, and the paper was full of forged absurd words to praise King Sheng's merits, and even to use witchcraft to resurrect King Sheng's soul.

With such physical evidence, it is no wonder that the case in the previous life was judged quickly and urgently.

"He Yanyan, as well as He Chenglin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the entire He family! I, Ye Qiong, am inseparable from you! ”
