Jiuhua Hall is clean and tidy, luxurious, the independent hall is much smaller than those palaces, but it is still a sparrow although it is small, no matter which palace in the palace has its own dining room and large and small side halls, etc., she was invited into the palace, and the palace people inside and outside knelt on both sides.

Although King Qi's Mansion is Qin Mian's mansion, he doesn't even know that the gate of the palace is open to that side, it has to be Jiuhua Palace, the place where he has lived since he was a child is like Chu Yunjing's Yuexi Pavilion, which is the most familiar at any time.

It was no different from other palaces, the decoration was still dark, and as soon as she stood still, the maid behind her came to ask for peace.

"Slave tortoiseshell chrysanthemum, see princess mother!"

She turned to look, and there was a maid kneeling below with low eyebrows and drooping eyes, dressed like a first-class maid, and the hairpin ring was mostly made of silver ornaments.

"Get up! Are you the palace maid of Jiuhua Palace? ”

Tortoise Ju got up in response, still bowing her head in a regular manner: "Yes, the slave maid has been serving in the Jiuhua Hall for twelve years!" ”

She was very curious about this servant girl at the moment: "How old are you?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is twenty-four this year, and she has served His Royal Highness King Qi for several years!"

She nodded, and then stepped onto the main armchair, the woman could only sit on one third of the chair, and she calmly asked at the moment: "Four out of twenty?" Wouldn't it be possible to leave the palace next year? ”

It would have been okay for the master and the servant to chat a few words without anything, but at this moment, Tortoise Ju was obviously a little hesitant, and his tone also dropped: "According to the rules, it is so!" ”

She saw the hesitation of the tortoise, the palace maids who served in the palace were all looking forward to leaving the palace, the rewards in the palace have always been rich, if they were not kept by the master, as long as they did not make a mistake, they could go out of the palace after twenty-five and marry themselves, but now this palace maid is not young, and she should be willing to leave the palace after so many years in this unattended Jiuhua Palace.

Now with this expression, there must be something unspeakable, what is the only thing worth guarding in Jiuhua Palace?

Her voice was clear and clear, not mixed with any sundries: "You have served King Qi for many years, and when you leave the palace next year, the palace will give you a rich reward, how many people are serving in Jiuhua Palace?" ”

Tortoise Ju pressed and bowed shallowly: "Thank you Niangniang, in the past, Meng Dianjian was in charge of the affairs of Jiuhua Palace, and last year Meng Dianjian was transferred, and the slave maid became the steward of Jiuhua Palace, and there were four sprinklers and sweepers, and most of the two palaces were transferred today to serve Niangniang." ”

"This palace has prepared a reward for you, if there is nothing else, this palace does not need them to serve, you go and bring money to see them."

The two of them retreated after receiving the order, and Si Yu just followed the head of Fengyi Palace to get the excerpt of the banquet matters, and was just sent back at this moment.

Whether it is in the palace or outside, they will equip their sons with enlightened girls, these girls are lucky, and the fate of the son will be carried to the side room after marrying the main wife, the eldest daughter of King Huai was born to the palace maid who served by his side, and several younger brothers of the Chu family also have this arrangement.

Fang Cai's tortoise chrysanthemum Mo is not Qin Mian's enlightenment girl? Seven years ago, Qin Mian was already eighteen years old, and she had not married a wife or a concubine, so it stands to reason that she should have had a skin-to-skin relationship with this big palace maid, so when she brought up the matter of the palace just now, Tortoise Ju was obviously hesitant.

A woman's innocence is the most important thing, if it is not for the completion of the melon, even if the family is rich, no one may marry, this is not easy to do, her husband is thousands of miles away, and he has never met him, who can call the shots if the person is not here?

Keep this troublesome matter in your heart, otherwise you really can't stand the tortoiseshell!

She spent the afternoon reading the excerpts of the banquet on the bookcase that Qin Mian had read hard day and night, "The Art of War", "Qi Minzheng Essentials", and "Taipu Chess Records...... The books on the bookcase have annotated vermilion handwriting, and some of the pages have fallen off, or there are creases, and the speckled ink is still clear.

There is also a seal box on the case, and after she opens it, there is only a brown seal clay dried at the bottom, and the word Qin Mian is vaguely printed, and things like the seal must have run away with the owner.

Si Yu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she put a thick cushion under her buttocks early, and in the afternoon, the charcoal fire in the hall continued, and the light snow had stopped.

At hand is the excerpt drawn up by the female officials of the Shanggong Bureau, which is probably how to arrange the tables and chairs, how to choose the dishes and wines, how to arrange the positions of the major people, and which set of tableware to use to make a new ......

I have to admire the strength of the Shanggong Bureau, it is very detailed, from the position to the position of the column, to the grasp of the temperature of the warm pavilion of the Qilin Palace, if the three provinces and six departments of the previous dynasty can be so careful, I am afraid that the prosperity of Dafeng will go to the next level.

looked at it carefully, but she didn't know that it was time to eat, and Tortoise Ju came to Fengyi Palace to ask her to come over for dinner.

Only then did she put down the fold in her hand, seeing that it was getting late, she didn't dare to delay, wrapped in the velvet during the day and rushed to Fengyi Palace, and she was simply not far away from half a cup of tea.

The palace is brightly lit as day, the eunuchs on the road are sweeping the snow, the palace people only bow their heads to do things and never dare to speak, and they can hear the sound of sweeping the floor near or far all the way.

The palace people led her into the front hall of Fengyi Palace, which is the place where the queen invites officials or the palace to hold a small banquet.

She stepped forward quickly and bowed to the lord: "After the son sees his father and the queen mother, the son and the son forget the time in the palace and ask the father and the queen mother to punish him!" ”

Dafeng has always been respected on the right, so the right side of the saint is the queen, and then the prince and the princess are on a low table, and then the next low table is empty and should be left for her, and the left side of the saint is Zhang Guifei, followed by the Huaiwang family and the six princes.

Although it is said that it is a family banquet today, there is no princess on the banquet, there are six sons and four daughters on the first floor, the biological mother of the second prince, Xie Guifei, was born prematurely, and died after giving birth to the second prince, but unfortunately the second prince died less than two moments after he was born.

The fourth prince of Yang Shu's life contracted smallpox when he was three years old, and he was too young to survive, and his biological mother Yang Jieyu immediately went crazy and insulted the saint to kill his son.

The eldest princess is the eldest daughter of Concubine Xie and has been married for several years, and the second princess is the daughter of Concubine Du Shu, who has also been married for several years. There is also a third princess who was born as a palace maid, and now she is only nine years old, and their mother and daughter have always been unfavored, and they are never called on these occasions.

The saint has never been greedy for women, and twenty years ago he decreed that the draft was not allowed, Zhang Guifei was specially ordered to enter the palace thirteen years ago, and then it was the favored Ren Cairen, who seemed to have forgotten her after that time, and later found out that she was pregnant, and she was given her position by the queen.

"It's okay, sit down!" With just one sound, sonorous and powerful, as unfathomable as the arrival of a god, the tone of the saint didn't seem to care if she was late or not.

She got up, bowed her head and retreated to the vacant seat reserved for her, and when she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the princess's eyes, she nodded to the princess with a smile, but the princess showed her a bright smile, very innocent.

I have never seen the prince before, I only heard that he suffers from a serious illness, and he generally does not go out of the East Palace, the prince is kneeling at the table at the moment, he is very thin, he looks at Zhang Jun's face roughly, but if he looks closely, his eyes are dark and blue, his cheeks are sunken, and his body is sideways to the handrail specially prepared for him, and he can only support his body by holding the handrail, and his breath is deeper than ordinary people, but he has a serious illness.

She had seen people who were dying, and they were also panting heavily, even if they couldn't catch any breath, but the prince was obviously better. Even though there were maids behind her, the crown princess was still not at ease and kept her eyes concerned.

Looking up at Zhang Guifei's eyes, the two also nodded with a smile to show courtesy, she felt at ease every time she saw Zhang Guifei, a pair of traditional Danfeng eyes with a delicate melon seed face, and a fairy fluttering plain clothes, giving people the comfort of the country and the people.

Ning Ruoshui rolled her eyes at her without moving, and she only smiled back very politely.

"You're not too late, so let's just sit down."

As the voice searched, the queen was dressed in a dark green long-sleeved placket embroidered with dark phoenix patterns, and her headdress was simple, but there were four or five golden phoenix hairpins, and her complexion was much better than in the afternoon, and she still looked sad even if she was smiling.

She whispered a "yes", and when she sat down in the harem, the people began to distribute, and she took a sip of tea first.

Unintentionally raised his head, competing to meet the gaze of the sixth prince Qin Ling on the opposite side, the child's eyes were clear and seemed to be very curious about her, and he actually stared at her a little blushing.

The sixth prince is only ten years old, it is the innocent appearance, the wedding day has been blocking the fan and failed to see this little doll, now it seems that he looks very similar to Zhang Guifei, the eyes of the single eyelid are round, maybe after the growth will become Zhang Guifei's Danfeng eyes that look down on all beings, the mouth and nose look like a saint, the nose is delicate and thin, and the lips are often min, if it is big, it is definitely a beautiful man, and it is estimated that it is the dream of many girls!

For another moment, the little doll's eyes were still looking at her suspiciously, very embarrassed, and she simply lowered her head and didn't look at him.

The food was silent, and several people had nothing to say during the meal.

For a long time, as the saint put the chopsticks, everyone was not eating, and the palace people handed over the handkerchiefs that had been thrown one by one.

The holy general wiped his mouth and threw it to the eunuch who was waiting early on his side, and then sighed: "Lao Wu handed over the fold yesterday, saying that Beiyue has had frequent snow disasters recently, and there is no harvest, and now it is ready to move, I am afraid that there are signs of sending troops, and it has reached the end of the year, if Beiyue provokes war again, the people of the three cities in the north are afraid that they will not be able to have a good year, and he will have the responsibility of protecting the people as the master, and I am afraid that he will still not be able to come back this year." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Chu Yunjing.

She knelt straight and arched her hand forward: "As a general, the prince should think about the people, this is a big move!" ”

The saint pursed his lips and nodded frequently.

"Alas! Pity these two children, but the newlyweds are thousands of miles apart, when is the time to meet! The queen looked at her distressedly, and her tone was low.
