The palace leans on the plum garden.

Today's banquet in the palace is that the queen has invited many wives of powerful families in Beijing to bring their daughters to the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms. In the Fanghua Hall, mica screens spread out to cover the cold outside, and only a wisp of plum fragrance slowly spread out under the baking of silver silk.

The ladies of all families in the hall gathered together in twos and threes, or painting or tasting tea, which was very pleasant, but a scene in the corner destroyed such a quiet beauty. Ling Qi, the daughter of the general of the auxiliary state, and Jun Chi Weiyan of Rongde County, the daughter of the eldest princess of Ruyang, sneered at a young girl.

"Carving insect Xiaojier, do you think this will be able to cover up the poor sour spirit of your broken house? said that she is the daughter of the family of Fan Yang Lu, but in fact, she is just the daughter of a five-grade petty official, do you really think that the surname Lu can rely on the name of the daughter of the family to be higher than us? I can't even afford to wear the gold makeup satin praised by the queen's mother, and I'm embarrassed to come to the palace for a banquet, do you think you can go anywhere with a face?"

Several girls around covered their mouths and sneered when they heard this, obviously agreeing with this. The daughter of the daughter of the patriarch of the Fanyang Lu clan, they naturally did not dare to offend. But this daughter of a five-grade petty official of the same clan of Fan Yang Lu actually has such an elegant and vulgar, fresh and dusty appearance, and even has the skill of painting with one hand, and she will compare all the nobles present silently.

This is called how can they accept the self-proclaimed noblewomen in Beijing, and now they have to sneer and sneer, so as to give them a bad breath of being compared to their appearance, calligraphy and painting.

They ridiculed Lu Bingzhen, who had just returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, she was accustomed to the tactful and beautiful Jiangnan style, and her clothes were still delicately embroidered, not the fashionable gold makeup satin in Beijing. It is precisely because of this that this group of noble ladies who are not familiar with her mistakenly think that she is a broken family, and they come to the palace to feast in unpopular Jiangnan embroidery.

Lu Bingzhen was not annoyed when he heard this, but said gently and softly, "What do you mean, sisters?" Today, the queen is holding a banquet here, why are the sisters disturbing the trouble", she looked at the queen and many concubines and ladies who were in a high position not far away, and said with a slight smile, "Maybe today's queen mother summoned us into the palace to paint and fight tea, and everyone's every move is true in the eyes of the nobles?" ”

Ling Qi and Chi Weiyan, who were led by Wen Yan, both remembered the purpose of going to the banquet today. Before leaving, my mother told me thousands of instructions at home, saying that the prince was sixteen this year, and I was afraid that the palace banquet would only choose one concubine and two concubines for the prince.

The crown prince Xiao Min is the dream man of countless girls in Beijing, he is handsome and good-looking. The eyebrows flew into the sideburns, the eyes were as bright as stars, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Zhilan Yushu and Lang Yan were unique. However, he has a little bit of floating things, which reminds people of the vast moonlight on the snow, and his heart is broken when he sees it.

Thinking of the prince's position in the East Palace and his handsome appearance, Ling Qi and Chi Weiyan both hesitated. What this woman said does have some truth, if it is because of a small daughter of a five-grade official who has left a bad impression in the eyes of nobles and misses the position of the future mother of the country, wouldn't it be worth the loss.

Ling Qi gritted her teeth, dropped a sentence of "count you as good luck today" and walked away, seeing that Ling Qi, who had the highest family background, was gone, and the surrounding nobles led by her also scattered.

Cutting Bing, who had been squeezed on the periphery, had to come in, and said worriedly around Lu Bingzhen, "Jiu Niangzi, you must hold back, they are not shooting flowers, no matter how annoying they are, they can't directly hit people." Thinking of the scene of her little lady convincing people with virtue when she was in Lingzhou, Bingbing couldn't help but start worrying about other noblewomen.

In his heart, the nine ladies of his own family are of course convinced by virtue and virtue, and when Lu Bingzhen was in Lingzhou, he beat a group of abducted and sold children to crying fathers and called mothers.

When the incident happened in Lingzhou, Lu Bingzhen was still young, and he was separated from his mother Li on the way to worship the Buddha and met Pai Huazi. At first, Pai Huazi wanted to coax Lu Bingzhen to go with him, but later found that the child was indifferent no matter what, so he carried her on his shoulders like an anti-sack.

Lu Bingzhen, who was still young at the time, didn't understand what this person was doing at the time, until he was locked in a room. The room was full of kidnapped children, some groggy and some weeping. Lu Bingzhen reacted and met Pai Huazi, she wanted to go home to find her mother, so she went directly to push the door.

The other children wanted to tell her that the door was locked, but they couldn't open it, when they saw the door that seemed like an impregnable wall to them collapse with a seemingly light push from the little girl. Then I saw the little girl walk out calmly, and asked them very strangely, "Aren't you leaving?" ”。 A group of children hurriedly followed Lu Bingzhen out of the door.

The gatekeeper patted Huazi naturally came to stop him, but no one could withstand Lu Bingzhen's punch on his leg. The janitor howled and fell to the ground, and the other men who heard the sound came out to stop him. Lu Bingzhen concocted the same method, knocked down one with one punch, and even lifted the big water tank in the yard before leaving and smashed a person who could barely run.

The follow-up was naturally the father Lu Qi who cleared the matter as the assassin of Lingzhou, and only said that his daughter escaped by luck. Since then, Lu Qi and Li began to allow Lu Bingzhen to practice martial arts, but she was never allowed to do it at will. This is also the reason why the first reaction of cutting ice is to stop Lu Bingzhen from doing it.

Seeing that Lu Bingzhen didn't care, Bing Bing became even more nervous, "Little lady, do you really want to teach them a lesson?" If you really want to, let's wait until we get out of the palace before we start. Cutting Bing thought to himself, if the little lady really wants to make a move, then he must help the little lady sweep away all the tails, and never let them affect the reputation of the little lady's family as a model girl.

Seeing that the more she spoke, the more she spoke, the more she spoke, Lu Bingzhen smiled, reached out and pinched her lips, so that the rest of the words were drowned between her lips and teeth. "Well, I'm not going to make a move. They were all choked by me, and it is estimated that the queen knows this scene, and she can't be the crown princess, so what else do I have to worry about. After muttering a few sentences, he didn't say anything more.

Looking at the group of noble ladies who had gone away, Lu Bingzhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The palace walls are deep, why yearn for it, no matter how handsome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, he can't withstand the many calculations and sinisters in this deep palace." ”

Lu Bingzhen glanced at the fifth cousin who was following his mother not far away, and said in his heart, "It seems that these noble ladies regard me as the fifth cousin, no wonder the fifth cousin is so attentive to her mother when she goes out today, and she will not leave the palace banquet." Just thinking about it, the fifth cousin Lu Binghui looked over here as if she was aware of it.

After touching Lu Bingzhen's all-seeing gaze, her eyes dodged unnaturally, and then she took a deep breath and returned to her calm appearance of smiling Yan Yan.

Lu Binghui has been planning for many days to have such an opportunity, she is already sixteen years old this year, but because of the early death of her biological father, there are still no decent people who have come to the door to propose. She must firmly follow her eldest aunt Li today to make people think that she is the daughter of the wife of the next patriarch of the Fan Yang Lu clan, so as to find a good family for herself.

As for whether my cousin will be indifferent because of this matter, and whether she will be punished for this matter, they are all forgotten by Lu Binghui.

As the wife of the next patriarch of the century-old family Fan Yang Lu, the Li family will naturally not be ignored by the queen. Halfway through the palace banquet, the palace maid Xiuxin invited the ladies to go to the queen's side to talk, and the Li family was naturally among them, and Lu Binghui hurriedly wanted to follow.

However, facing Li's smiling gaze, Lu Binghui fell into an ice cave and instantly froze her in place. When he came back to his senses, Li had already left with the embroidered heart. Many people around were secretly observing her, and seeing that Li Shi left her without hesitation, those who had previously thought that Lu Binghui was Lu Bingzhen and flattered her all cast disdainful glances at her at this moment. Seeing this, Lu Binghui couldn't wait to die directly.

At the first seat of the palace banquet, the queen's demeanor was friendly, and she asked with a smile, "Why don't you bring the little lady in the family to talk, the palace looks at the little lady beside you generously and decently, which is really happy." After that, the queen mother took off a mutton fat white jade bracelet from her wrist, and she was about to give it away.

Li also replied with a smile, "Back to Niangniang's words, although Wu Niang grew up in Beijing, she rarely entered the palace, and the courtiers were afraid that her unruly behavior would stain her eyes. Today, it is an honor to go to the banquet and enjoy the plum blossoms by the grace of God, how dare you ask for the mother's things. ”

A sentence of Wu Niang pointed out Lu Binghui's identity, which made everyone stunned. The noble lady present may not be familiar with the family of the next patriarch of the Fan Yang Lu clan who has just returned to Beijing, but they definitely know that the daughter of the Li family is the ninth in the family.

The eldest princess of Huyang is a straightforward person, and there is no daughter in the family who wants to be the crown princess. When the eldest princess of Huyang heard this, she said, "It turns out that the little lady next to you is not your Jiuniang, this palace sees that she follows you step by step, and thinks she is Jiuniang." ”

The Li family can't tolerate Wu Niang's behavior of pretending to be Jiu Niang, but she still has to maintain the reputation of Fan Yang Lu's family outside, gritting her teeth and smiling, "The princess doesn't want to make fun of the courtiers, Wu Niang came to the palace for the first time, and she followed the elders of the family when she had concerns." Jiu Niang is a quiet person, but she likes to paint in the corner. ”

The eyes of the queen mother and the ladies and ladies turned to Lu Bingzhen in the corner, all surprised. "This ...... This...... It turns out that this is the Nine Lady", seeing Lu Bingzhen's appearance and outfit, everyone was intimidated by her appearance, and only hesitated to speak after a while.

Of course, the eldest princess of Ruyang knew that her daughter could not succeed in mocking the "Lu family's five mothers" in public, and now the inconspicuous "Lu family's five mothers" has become the Lu family's nine mothers, who are the best daughters of the family, and this matter has changed from insignificant to careless. The eldest princess of Ruyang hated the iron and couldn't make steel and glanced at her daughter, only hating why she wanted to provoke the Lu family, and if she provoked her, she was forced to retreat with a word, and now it has become a joke.

The queen mother motioned to Xiuxin and asked Lu Bingzhen to come over to talk. When Lu Bingzhen walked in front of him, everyone present took a deep breath.
