As if to refute Jian Zheng's words, the originally docile golden python suddenly became violent, whipped out its tail and knocked down the two forest guards who were dragging it, and quickly rushed out of the palace.
The guests in the hall were hiding and the scene was very chaotic for a time. The imperial guards chased them all the way, and finally reported that the python escaped into Bibo Lake and disappeared.
In order to justify his theory, Qin Tian Jian had no choice but to continue: "The dragons entering the sea and the phoenixes flying into the sky are all good omens for the stability of the country and the fate of destiny."
'Emperor Wen' looked at the chaos of many people in the palace and just wanted to say, shut up, the noise is giving me a headache.
But for the sake of face, he still agreed to a few words. Yu Fuhai, the eunuch in charge of Emperor Wen's side, winked at Qin Tianjian Zheng and told him to go on his way.
Just when Qin Tian Jian felt that he had tried his best, he returned to his original seat in despair. It was just that there was chaos in the hall just now. The table was still there, but the chair was knocked over and some vegetable soup was splashed on it. There was nothing that could be done about it.
Sit down.
This banquet can't go on any longer, not to mention that people panicked just now and knocked over many tables and chairs. The ladies and ladies' wine-stained clothes and messy hair buns alone are enough to cause a lot of chaos.
Empress Bian ordered people to clean up the side halls on both sides so that ladies and ladies from various palaces could change their clothes and make up. The male guests could go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery.
The Bibo Lake is not far from the Royal Garden. Now that the golden python is hiding in the lake, who dares to go there? Everyone had to move to the back hall and wait for the time being.
It was obviously inappropriate for Prince Yun to go to the back hall with him. The queen smiled at Emperor Wen and said, "It still takes some time to clean up here. Qinghuang should take Prince Yun to Wuxia Palace to rest for a while."
Seeing that Emperor Wen didn't stop her, the queen just felt a lot better. She knew that Yan Cang had such an attitude of taking things easy, so she shouldn't have let that bitch live for so many more years.
"My son, I would like to obey Yi's decree." Mingruo bowed and took Si Haochen to the Wuxia Palace.
Wuxia Palace means white jade without flaws. The entire palace is built of white jade. From a distance, it looks like a jade building, shrouded in soft light under the sunlight.
Walking into the palace garden, although it has been uninhabited for a long time, the palace people have cleaned it very carefully. It does not feel desolate and run-down, but it is just a little deserted.
Mingruo took Si Haochen to the side hall where he lived when he returned to the palace for a short stay.
'Mr. Yuan' stood under two parasol trees next to each other in the courtyard, caressing the trunks of the trees. He and Qing'er planted these two trees together, hoping that one day they would form branches. He didn't want things to go against his wishes.
, the two trees are not married, and he and Qing'er are also separated by nature...
The lower side hall where Mingruo lived was much simpler than the Pearl Pavilion in the palace. It only had the furniture necessary for daily living and no unnecessary antiques. These simple furnishings made Si Haochen frown. Then Emperor Wen
'He and Queen Bian definitely treated his wife harshly on purpose.
Mingruo raised her hand to rub away her boyfriend's frown: "'Quietness is used to cultivate one's character, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue'. You see, I have both ability and political integrity now. This is how I cultivated myself."
"Pfft." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek, "Let me see if I am thick-skinned."
Mingruo patted Si Haochen's hand away, pulled up a chair and sat down: "I'm telling the truth, I'm not being thick-skinned."
"Yeah." Si Haochen felt that his daughter-in-law deserved the title of having both political integrity and talent.
Jiyue made tea and brought it in: "The princess hasn't been back for a long time, and there isn't any good tea in the tea room. The prince and princess can just drink some."
"It's okay. We'll have to go back for a banquet in a while, so you can go down and rest."
As Mingruo sat in this side hall, scenes of the original owner being bullied by the eighth princess and others watching indifferently emerged in his mind. It seemed that the original owner really didn't have a good impression of the palace.
"Hey..." Mingruo sighed, walked out of the side hall and sat down on the jade steps in the corridor.
"What's wrong?" Si Haochen sat down next to Mingruo.
"It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past..."
Si Haochen wrapped Mingruo's little hand in his palm: "It's not a happy thing, it's okay if you don't want to."
"Yeah." Mingruo didn't want to do this either, but his brain seemed to be overflowing with too many bad memories of this place.
Those memories are like sharp needles poking into the flesh, and the pain is sharp and long-lasting. The forbearance and cowardice of the original owner are a kind of strange tenacity, like a cicada shed, seemingly lifelike, but it is something that should have been abandoned long ago. This
This feeling that looks like hope is actually despair, makes people feel helpless and sad.
About an hour later, the palace people came to invite Prince Yun to a banquet. They saw the two masters sitting on the floor, and the attendants standing in the yard... These Donghuan people are a little strange. On a hot day, it is better to bake outside than in the courtyard.
Wouldn't it be more comfortable in the palace?
After the banquet started again, the atmosphere was obviously not as lively as before. When they were changing clothes just now, several ladies and ladies who were usually bullied by the fourth princess were talking in low voices, speculating about what kind of curse the fourth princess had been cursed with, and now they were very worried.
People who live close to the Princess' Mansion also testified that a lot of snakes and insects were found in the Princess' Mansion yesterday, with more than a dozen big bags filled to the brim, and the quantity was shocking.
The ancients were superstitious. For a while, everyone avoided the four princesses like snakes and scorpions, for fear that they would be contaminated with bad things and make the snakes miss them. Everyone's nerves were tense during the dinner, and if there was any trouble, they were afraid that another snake would fall.
.
After finishing the meal in trepidation, I just hoped that the emperor would be merciful and let me go home early. Those ladies and ladies felt their backs tightening if they stayed with the fourth princess for a moment longer.
The 'Wen Emperor' lived up to expectations, and Yu Fuhai quickly sang the chorus: "Pujiajia Shengqian Hall."
Everyone respectfully sent off to 'Emperor Wen', and then to Queen Bian. The palace banquet finally came to an end, and everyone went back to their homes.
It was night, and the moonlight was particularly bright. Si Haochen and Mingruo sneaked into the palace. Yan Yuan was familiar with the terrain of the palace and led the two of them to choose secluded paths. The three of them felt as if they were in a deserted place.
This is also due to the fact that Lao Tie summoned the golden python during the day. Now most of the Imperial Guards are patrolling the Bibo Lake area. They are afraid that the python will come out and wander around and hurt the palace masters. These remote paths have no time to take care of.
The three of them came to the vicinity of Shengqian Hall. The guards here were obviously much tighter than elsewhere. If Mingruo released Linglong and Lao Tie, in just a moment, the Royal Forest Army in the light and the Ananyin Guard in the dark were stunned and turned to stone. The scene was so
A bit weird.
The three of them arrived at the Shengqian Hall, where Emperor Wen was diligently cultivating the land. Si Haochen heard the inappropriate movement for a child, and quickly took Mingruo to a camphor tree farthest away from the main hall.
The two of them stood on a thick tree trunk and found a dark guard hanging on the tree trunk next to them, as stiff as a shaky stone sculpture.
