Chapter 135: The neck was strangled by a rope
Participating in the palace banquet, few of them really came to eat, one is that the holy order cannot be violated, and the other is to socialize. Those who can come to the palace banquet are all top magnates in Beijing, and it is a good opportunity to exchange feelings.
The emperor and the princess did not arrive, and everyone was very relaxed. Men and women talk to people they know or want to befriend. Mrs. Yongning Hou did not appear at the banquet in Beijing for three years, and now she appears at the palace banquet, and many wives of other families come to talk to her.
Just like Tang Guogong said, although Xiao Huai is dead, Yu Wei is still there, and the emperor's attitude towards the Yongning Marquis Mansion is not very clear, as long as he has brains, he will not step on Tang Shuyi and their orphans and widows at this time.
Besides, Xiao Yuchen has a good appearance, a high status, and a rich family background in the Yongning Hou Mansion, even if he has withdrawn from marriage, even if there are some rumors about him and Liu Biqin, but there are many noble daughters who want to marry her. Many of the ladies who came to talk to Tang Shuyi came for Xiao Yuchen.
Tang Shuyi sighed in her heart, no matter when, people who look good just have more advantages than others.
Dealing with the ladies who came to talk to each other, she also kept an eye on Xiao Yuzhu, for fear that something would happen to her. Even if Xiao Yuzhu has learned a lot of things over the past few days, after all, she is less than nine years old, and it is impossible to think about things as well as an adult.
But today Xiao Yuzhu is very well-behaved, and has been sitting there talking with a few little girls.
And at this moment, sitting with Xiao Yuzhu, the third lady of Wuyangbo's family whispered: "This kind of banquet is the most boring, the food is cold, it is not delicious, and you can't go out to play, and you have to hold your posture, and you are uncomfortable to death." ”
Xiao Yuzhu and Tang Anle felt the same way, and both nodded.
"I saw someone going out to play, and I heard that it was a garden when I went out, and the scenery was very good, why don't we go out and have a look?"
It was the girl of the Li Yushi family who spoke, Li Yushi had a good relationship with Tang Guogong, and the young lady of the Li family and the young lady of the Tang family were also close, and they usually met at the banquet and always sat together.
"No, it's weird cold outside, so let's be here." Tang Anle said.
Second Lady Tang had instructed her before, there was nothing important today, don't leave the banquet hall. Although Liang Guifei has a grudge with the Yongning Hou Mansion, the Tang State Mansion and the Yongning Hou Mansion are tied together, who knows if Liang Guifei will reach out to her.
Xiao Yuzhu also nodded beside her, although she also wanted to go out and have a look, she knew the severity.
The girl from the Li Yushi family turned her head to look outside, thought for a moment and said, "I'll go out and have a look, it's at the door of the banquet, don't go far." ”
Saying that, she got up and walked out, and Miss Xue San from Wuyang Bofu saw her go out, and her heart was itching to go out. But Xiao Yuzhu pulled her up and whispered: "Cousin, if you want to go out to play, there are opportunities, and it is easy to have accidents when there are many people today." ”
Miss Xue San reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and then said, "Okay, let's not go out." I begged my dad to buy me a pony the other day, it's red, it's pretty good. When the weather warmed up, we went to learn to ride a horse. ”
She heard that Xiao Yuzhu wanted to learn to ride a horse and a white pony, so she begged her father to buy it for her.
Xiao Yuzhu's eyes were sparkling when she heard this, "Okay, go to Nanlingbo's horse farm, my second brother said it's fun there." ”
"Okay."
A few little girls whispered about learning to ride a horse. Just as they were talking about what kind of riding clothes they were wearing, a palace maid ran up to them in a panic and said, "A few young ladies, can you see the wife of the Li family?" ”
Xiao Yuzhu and the others turned their heads to look around, but they didn't see Mrs. Li, so they shook their heads. Tang Anle also asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
The little palace maid looked anxious, "Miss Li accidentally fell into the water just now." ”
"Have you ever been rescued?" Tang Anle asked anxiously.
She has a good relationship with Miss Li, and it is possible that the Tang and Li families will marry, and the object is this Miss Li and Tang Sangongzi.
"I rescued it, but there is no familiar person next to Miss Li, so I am afraid." The little palace maid looked at Tang Anle and proposed, "If you don't want a few young ladies to accompany Miss Li, I'll go find Mrs. Li." ”
Tang Anle hesitated, "Where?" ”
The little palace maid pointed to the side, "It's in the lounge next to the palace banquet." ”
Tang Anle and Xiao Yuzhu looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that there was a small door in the northwest corner of the palace banquet, and many palace people came and went from inside. The two looked at each other, then both turned to look at their mother.
At this moment, Tang Shuyi and Mrs. Tang were sitting with Princess Changping, and it was difficult for the two of them to come forward to say hello.
"Miss, hurry up, the slave maid still has to find Mrs. Li." The little palace maid urged.
Tang Anle turned his head and whispered to Xiao Yuzhu: "You are here, I'll go over and take a look." ”
Xiao Yuzhu didn't worry about her, thinking that it would be better to have one more person, and besides, it was next to the palace banquet, and nothing could happen, so she said, "I'll be with you." ”
The two stood up, and Miss Xue San also stood up, "I'm with you." ”
Xiao Yuzhu and Tang Anle nodded, and the three of them followed the little palace maid to the corner of the palace banquet. At this time, Tang Shuyi was dealing with Princess Changping.
Just now, Princess Changping, who was supposed to appear with the emperor, suddenly came to the banquet hall in advance and called some ladies to talk together, Tang Shuyi, Mrs. Tang and Second Mrs. Tang were among them. And Princess Changping's chat this time seems to be aimed at Tang Shuyi.
It's not that he's looking for trouble, but that he seems to be easing relations. Of course, the princess who is high up, even if she wants to ease the relationship, will not really let go of her body, but just talk to you with a smile on her face.
And Tang Shuyi was afraid that Princess Changping was digging a pit for herself, so she concentrated on coping with it, and ignored Xiao Yuzhu and Tang Anle for a while.
Here, Xiao Yuzhu and Tang Anle, as well as Miss Xue San, the three of them followed the little palace maid out of the door of the corner of the palace banquet, and walked a few steps to a room, Miss Li was really here.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed with her hair wet, covered with a thick quilt and her teeth chattering. When she saw Xiao Yuzhu and them, she immediately stretched out her hand and burst into tears. Xiao Yuzhu and the others hurriedly went over.
Tang Anle stuffed her arm into the quilt, "How about you cover the quilt quickly?" Don't you feel uncomfortable? ”
Miss Li shook her head, "It's all good, I'm just scared, Anle, I'm so scared, I almost drowned just now." ”
Tang Anle reached out and touched her forehead, and asked, "Why did you fall into the water?" ”
"I... I don't know what's going on, but as soon as I walked to the lake, my foot slipped and I fell in. ”
Miss Li shook her teeth and shed tears, looking very pitiful. Tang Anle looked at her heart, sat on the edge of the bed and comforted her, but Miss Xue San also looked worried. Xiao Yuzhu and Miss Li were not very familiar with each other, so they did not stand too close.
At this time, a little palace maid came over, stood beside Xiao Yuzhu, and whispered to her: "Miss, the slave maid went to get clothes for Miss Li, can you help me serve ginger soup to Miss Li?" ”
After hearing this, Xiao Yuzhu looked at Tang Anle and the others, before she did suspect that they were called out, someone designed it. But now that Miss Li is really lying on the bed, her doubts have been dispelled a lot.
I looked left and right, there were no other palace maids in the house, and I thought that this little palace maid was really too busy, so I nodded and followed her out. The two went out of the door, and after walking for a while, the little palace maid stopped at the door of a room and said, "Right here, Miss Xiao, go in." ”
After the little palace maid finished speaking, she turned around and left, Xiao Yuzhu pushed open the door and went in, but as soon as she entered, she was pulled by someone, and the whole person was hugged from behind, and then her neck was strangled by a rope.......
