Chapter 63: The Palace Banquet

Even though the prince of Zhenguo incited the people to confront the emperor with the help of the people, the emperor still lifted the grounding of Princess Anyang in advance and recalled her back to the palace.

The palace set up a banquet to invite envoys from other countries, and the ministers and clan relatives in Beijing can bring their families into the palace for the banquet.

Wan Jinlan followed his father and mother into the palace.

The banquet was set up in the imperial garden, and in the evening there was a cool breeze, and the dancers danced in the field.

Today's Concubine Chen Shufei is dressed up extraordinarily brilliantly, and you and the queen and Wan Guifei come and go, and anyone with a discerning eye can see her good mood.

The Queen Mother left the table early, and Wan Jinlan helped her walk in the garden.

Wan Qiuyu attended the banquet with Xiao Minghuan today, and sat at the banquet watching Wan Jinlan help the Queen Mother to leave, and the corners of her lips hooked up a cold smile.

Seeing King An and Min Jieyu leaving under the pretext of changing clothes before and after, and seeing King Rui give the eunuch beside him a look, King Shun drank wine and showed a smile that victory was in sight, Xiao Minghuan and Wan Qiuyu looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Princess Anyang also attended today's banquet, and the envoy of Beirong mentioned the matter of marrying the princess again, and she heard her father's ambiguous answer that neither refused nor agreed, and her heart was a little cold.

Lai Guiren has been snubbed by his father recently, and he has not had a good time in the palace with the eighth princess, and he can't even attend an occasion like today, and Princess Anyang doesn't even have anyone to talk to, so she feels bored.

"Princess, Gongzi Chen asked you to meet in Yifang Pavilion."

Princess Anyang was stunned, she really didn't have any interest in today's occasion, and when she mentioned Chen Congbai, she remembered Chen Congbai's intimacy with her when she was in Huangzhuang.

Yifang Pavilion is at the junction of the inner palace and the outer palace of the imperial palace, and under normal circumstances, it is a place for the foreign women who usually ask to see them to rest, like this time period, there are not even people there.

Princess Anyang did not suspect that Chen Congbai wanted to see her, and helped the palace maid to shuttle through the path in the palace all the way.

On the other side, after Wan Jinlan sent the Queen Mother back to Ci'an Palace, she walked out of Ci'an Palace, walked for a while, and after turning the corner, her vision darkened.

A figure suddenly came out of front of him, and the eunuch's hurried voice came: "Oh Wan girl, the slave can be regarded as finding you, Princess Anyang is looking for you everywhere, the princess is in a bad mood today and wants to talk to you." ”

The slave wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The princess is in Yifang Pavilion, you go quickly, the slave still has an errand to do, but I don't have the time to send you over." ”

The eunuch seemed to be really busy, and after the words were spoken, he left in a hurry, as fast as a gust of wind.

The light was dim, and she saw nothing but the white face of the eunuch.

The behavior of this eunuch is strange in ancient times. It stands to reason that she is now a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, and this eunuch is so anxious that she doesn't even want to lead her way.

"Aunt Xia Liu, do you know this eunuch?"

She was followed by the big palace maid in the Queen Mother's palace, who looked to be in her thirties, and she was also of grade in the palace, and the Queen Mother specially stayed to send her back.

Xia Liu shook her head, "This person's deeds are suspicious, and the girl is cautious." ”

"I also bothered my aunt to send me to Yifang Pavilion."

Xia Liu is the female official next to the Queen Mother, and with her with her, she is also relieved.

Wan Jinlan was afraid that something would happen, and the journey was very fast, Xia Liu had been in the palace for many years, and she was also very familiar with the layout of the palace, so she took her to a shortcut.

When the two arrived, Wan Jinlan saw that under the street lamp, a red-faced man was about to push open the door of Yifang Pavilion with a palace maid in his arms.

Seeing that the man seemed to be about to turn his head, Wan Jinlan hurriedly pulled Aunt Xia Liu and hid behind a tree.

Aunt Xia Liu frowned, "Girl, don't act rashly, the slave maid will go and tell the Queen Mother." ”

The man had a long beard, and from a distance he looked like General Yeluqi, the leader of the Beijon envoys.

The two of them saw it clearly before, and they both thought that the envoy of Beirong was in a hurry and wanted to do something wrong to the palace maids.

Wan Jinlan didn't know what Princess Anyang had to do with today's events, and after Aunt Xia Liu left, she simply got up and went to the palace wall on the side of Yifang Pavilion.

She jumped up, climbed the wall of Yifang Pavilion, looked left and right, and saw Princess Anyang squatting in the pavilion and the shelter of the grass and trees under her, looking in with mosquitoes, squatting with her, and her palace maid.

"Princess, let's go out." The palace maid whispered and persuaded, it seemed that it was King An and Min Jieyu, who came just now, and it was the envoy of Beirong and a palace maid, if this made a fuss, His Majesty would be disgraced, and he would not be angry with their princess, and it was possible for them, the palace maids, to kill their mouths.

Princess Anyang was about to speak, only to see the palace maid who had been held in the arms of the Beirong people come out of the door, her clothes were a little messy, she closed the door, looked left and right, poured the things wrapped in the juanpa in her hand into the pool water and stirred, and then staggered out with a frightened face, ran away, and let out a cry for help.

Wan Jinlan knew that it wouldn't be long before someone came.

She immediately jumped lightly without making the slightest movement.

The sound coming from the room made people blush.

Wan Jinlan wondered in her heart, obviously this palace maid came out, who was the voice of the woman in the room, and there seemed to be more than one man's voice in the room.

She got behind Princess Anyang and quietly covered the mouths of the two.

"It's me, you two don't make a sound, hurry up and follow me."

There was already a sound of footsteps outside the gate, Wan Jinlan pulled the two of them against the wall and went around the back, and then sent the two to the wall.

The two didn't dare to jump, and after she went up to the wall and jumped down, they picked up the two smoothly.

The three of them hurriedly hid in the shadows of the flowers and trees next to them.

Before Aunt Xia Liu came back, Wan Jinlan asked about Princess Anyang.

An Yang whispered a few words in her ear, and Wan Jinlan didn't know what to say about her.

An Yang was obviously calculated, and the person who calculated her had to know the relationship between An Yang and Chen Congbai.

And the father-in-law who went to call her over was obviously not at ease, and also wanted to involve her in this matter.

Min Jieyu had an affair with King An, His Majesty was cuckolded, what will Your Majesty think of those who know the inside story?

Today, there are also envoys from Beirong involved, and it is obvious that the people behind it want to make a big deal about it.

The palace maid beside Princess Anyang said: "The father-in-law who sent a message to the slave maid before, the slave and maid didn't see what it looked like, he hung his head and handed the finger to the slave and maid and left. ”

Wan Jinlan said: "Princess, you leave here quickly with the palace maid, and no matter who asks, they will say that they have never been here." ”

"What about you?" Princess Anyang also knew that she was almost involved in today's disaster today, and she was also apprehensive.

Wan Jinlan said: "I'll wait for Aunt Xia Liu here, and when she comes, I will also go back, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
