The wall of the Yaju Immortal Courtyard is not high, only blocking the shadows, the upper end of the hall is not sealed, and the surroundings are open and ventilated.

The courtyard wall is surrounded by a pole of green bamboo, and there is no movement in the distance.

The privacy and security are absolutely top-notch.

Yajuxian and the entire back garden were searched many times by Qianniuwei earlier, and the horns were not spared.

The people are carefully cleaned and incense, and now there will not even be a single mosquito or fly.

At least half of the three hundred thousand Niu guards in Funing Palace are scattered in the back garden, and there are guards crouching in the horns.

Agius, of course, is the point.

However, the guards were far away from the corridor, and Yuan Zhi didn't find a figure, but he could vaguely feel it.

In the small courtyard, there is a fish pond, the lotus flowers in the pond open and close, and under the lotus leaves, many fish are swimming leisurely.

Yuan Zhi glanced around almost instinctively, and it was spotless and orderly.

The queen took in all this, the corners of her bright red lips couldn't help but raise slightly, and a pair of phoenix eyes also rippled with a smile, and the color of satisfaction overflowed her eyebrows.

After she and Concubine Lan entered the small courtyard, the four beautiful maids in charge of this residence found that the queen was coming, and hurriedly came out to greet and bow.

The queen was not familiar with these palace maids, so she only ordered them to stay outside the gate of the small courtyard, and walked directly into the palace without stopping.

In the hall, the wine and delicacies have been served, very rich, the chief manager Bu Shuren arched his hand:

"Niangniang, this place has been arranged, and you can eat."

"What about King Jin?"

"The little prince will be here soon."

When the queen heard this, her smile bloomed before she could speak: "Today there is Chief Labor." ”

"Xie Niangniang praised, this is what the slave and maid should do, if there is nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first."

Seeing that the queen nodded slightly, Bu Shuren took a few steps back and turned to leave.

After only a while, King Jin walked into the main hall.

"The son visits the queen mother."

"The younger brother has seen the crown prince."

"Nephew Yuan Xuan has seen Aunt Lan."

Three people and three etiquette, Yuan Xuan knows the book, he meets him one by one, and it is difficult enough for him.

In ancient times, the relationship between generations was disordered, especially in the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Laozi married his aunt and nephew as concubines, or married his daughter-in-law as concubines, after the emperor ascended the throne, his father's concubines first became monks, and then accepted as concubines, which was very sparse and ordinary.

It's like Yuan Zhi marrying Cao Feilan as a side concubine, and Cao Feiyan is the queen of Jiye, this is a mess.

Speaking of Yuan Zhi, seeing that Yuan Xuan was disciplined by the queen to be old-fashioned, he had a trace of pity.

The other princes, the sons and daughters of the princes, are all partying on the "Mid-Autumn Night" on the banks of the Seoul River.

As for him, he is still locked up in the palace to study and practice martial arts, and he has completely lost his childlike innocence.

"Eighth Emperor Brother, please sit down, is it good to practice martial arts in the near future? You should go out for frequent outings, take a walk, and appreciate the scenery of the capital and the difference in the change of seasons. Yuan Zhi said with concern.

"Brother Xie Huang cares, Brother Huang is fine, as for going out..."Yuan Xuan glanced at the queen mother when he replied, with a timid expression.

Seeing this, Cao Feiyan had an indifferent smile on the corner of her lips, and said: "What's so difficult about this, tomorrow Zhun Xuan'er will have a day off, and go to the Wangchun Pavilion area with the palace and Concubine Lan to play in the royal garden." ”

"The son thanked his mother."

Yuan Xuan raised his hand, and when he got up and looked up, his face was full of happy smiles.

It's still the prince's brother's big face, a few days ago he asked his mother to allow him to go out on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he was still reprimanded.

Unexpectedly, the royal brother said casually tonight, and the queen mother agreed.

Yuan Zhi was also slightly stunned, he swept towards the queen with an appreciative gaze, but he didn't expect Cao Feiyan to look at him with bright eyes.

He lowered his head a little "weakly", like a shy and shy handsome young man, so that the beautiful woman saw it and felt more pity.

Sure enough, Cao Feiyan saw Yuan Zhi's shy appearance, green and handsome, which made her heart that had been lonely for a long time beat rapidly like boiling water.

"Queen Mother, can we have a banquet, and the dishes will be cold later." Yuan Zhi coughed lightly and bowed slightly to remind.

A word to wake up the dreamer.

"Well, sit down and pour your wine." Cao Feiyan hurriedly commanded.

The maids got busy hearing this.

In the elegant hall, there are no lights, and the moonlight is pouring down like mercury, soft as a breeze. Cao Feiyan was dressed in a red evening dress, sitting upright, reflecting her snow-white skin like jade, like a peerless beauty in a painting.

Cao Feilan, who sat on the right, wore a moon-white dress she just bought today, like seven fairies blending into the white moonlight, beautiful and handsome, with a smile.

Yuan Zhi sat on the lower left of the queen, and Yuan Xuan sat on Cao Feilan.

Today's private banquet, he is considered a junior.

The maids poured the wine for the hosts, and then the queen carried the wine bottle and said a few happy words.

The mid-autumn private banquet for four people is even if it starts.

Everyone drank three bottles together, and then respected each other, and the four of them drank happily, laughed and laughed, and immersed themselves in a harmonious family atmosphere.

At this moment, even if the gods came, they couldn't see that they were rivals in the struggle for the throne.

The fruit wine drank three large pots, but the expensive dishes on the table did not move much.

Among the four, Yuan Zhi is an adult man, and he usually eats a lot of food, but tonight he was very surprised.

"The prince has eaten so little tonight, could it be that the dishes are not appetizing? These are your favorite foods. ”

The queen's beautiful eyes smiled slightly, and she looked at Yuan Zhi intently, her seductive cherry red lips, and curved up a touch of doubt.

The crown prince's hobbies, the queen knows everything about it, and this morning she specially told the dining room to be selective and meticulous.

"That's the case, today from my father's Zichen Palace, I went to the Hancheng River with a few people from the East Palace, and at noon went to a wine shop opened by a Hu merchant in the west of the city.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhi hurriedly explained.

He is mixed with a lot of new words, except for Yuan Xuan, Cao Feiyan and Cao Feilan, the two sisters, are accustomed to it.

Because he has read a lot of solitary books in the past few months, these words are picked out from his "heavenly books".

However, the meaning of the word is easy to understand.

"Oh Prince, look at you... It's too selfish, this palace remembers to invite you to Funing Palace, dinner to admire the moon, but you quietly took the concubines out to play, and kept your mouth shut about the palace, and you didn't even say a word politely. ”

Cao Feiyan put down the wine bottle, her pretty face twitched, and she said.

Her words were concise and to the point, and the prince never treated her as his own family.

Yuan Zhi was speechless and speechless, his face was red and his ears were sluggish, Cao Feilan saw this and hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve the siege.

"That's Sister Yan, before he went to Zichen Palace, he didn't know how to go out, after returning to the East Palace, I waited for a few others who wanted to go out to play, and the prince said that he would also accompany him, this is a temporary decision, please Sister Yan don't blame him."

Don't think that Cao Feilan's city is shallow, but she reacts quickly, is quite clever, and has high emotional intelligence, she changed her mouth to call the queen Sister Yan and used him to call the prince.

Such a title, with a strong family affection, suddenly shortens the distance between the two sides.

Cao Feiyan, as the eldest daughter of Cao Mansion, attaches great importance to family relationships and likes to protect calves, just like when she protected Cao Feilan and Yu Deshui.

Now for the sake of King Jin, he is fighting for the crown prince with the crown prince, and he also hopes to use pressure and negotiation to force Yuan Zhi to back down on his own.

She resented the assassination of the crown prince.

Not long ago, the crown prince was ambushed in the bamboo forest of Shuanglong Town, and in a letter to her father, she was furious and firmly expressed her disapproval of the assassination of the crown prince.

Although Cao Qichang is arrogant and domineering, he is very concerned about the attitude of the eldest daughter of the queen.

So, within the confines of the capital, he ordered a moratorium on the tracking and assassination of the crown prince.

"Tut-tut, you two husbands sing with your wives, show your affection in front of your eldest sister, don't you feel embarrassed, the teeth of this palace are going to be sore."

Cao Feiyan pretended to pout.

She glanced at Yuan Zhi and Cao Feilan a few times, but her heart was full of sourness and envy.

Originally, when Cao Feilan, as the prince's concubine, married into the East Palace, Cao Fu used her as a sword and gun, and was ready to be used as cannon fodder and sacrificed at a critical time.

For this reason, Cao Feiyan still can't help it.

Unexpectedly, the prince came back from the dead.

Cao Feilan not only did not become cannon fodder in Caofu, but also won the favor of the prince, according to herself, she was pampered almost every night.

It's ridiculous.

Could it be that the crown prince was confused by Lan'er?

Cao Feilan transformed from a girl to a young woman, and it took only two and a half months to count.

In the past 70 days, Xiao Nizi has almost acted in her true colors, and her kung fu to charm and confuse her heart is not half a star.

Faced with the queen's disgusted attitude, Yuan Zhi grinned awkwardly and didn't deliberately pay attention to it.

He picked up the wine bottle and drank wine with the King of Jin, and asked him about his studies and martial arts.

Cao Feilan's face flushed like a tide, and she said angrily: "Sister Yan, look at what you said, how embarrassing you are, you are ashamed to death." ”

She was coquettish to the queen.

Cao Feiyan snorted, turned her head to the prince and said:

"Prince, do you hear? Lan'er has called this palace Sister Yan, you also call Sister Yan in private, let's dispense with all the courtesies in the palace, how about it? ”

"It's... That's not polite. Yuan Zhi was a little stunned.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Yuan Xuan also chimed in.

"You know what?" Cao Feiyan scolded Yuan Xuan lightly, and then explained:

"This palace refers to in private, not above the court, and there are no other outsiders, according to family etiquette, for example, Xuan'er can call this palace her mother, and Yuan Zhi follows Lan'er to call Sister Yan, how easy is this? Don't you think that this crown of the queen mother overwhelms me, and I have to let this palace have a time to breathe and relax. ”

She was telling the truth.

The brothers Yuan Zhi and Yuan Xuan glanced at each other, and felt that it was quite reasonable, and it was actually in line with the court system.

"Mother!" Yuan Xuan was the first to speak, shouting quite affectionately.

"Hey..."Cao Feiyan responded, her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

Yuan Xuan was brought up by the nurse in the palace since he was a child, and the title of Cao Feiyan was either the mother concubine or the queen mother, and he never called his mother.

Between mother and son, for many years, there is more than respect, but there is not enough emotion, and there is a lack of family happiness in ordinary families.

This is the first time in ten years.

Whether it was Cao Feiyan or Yuan Xuan, they all looked very excited, as if they had opened the two veins of Ren and Du, so comfortable.
