The four hundred and twentieth chapters of their own calculations
"Does Miss Liu know what happened in the Seventh Prince's Mansion and who did it?" Qin Yi ignored Liu Chuchu and just asked lightly.
Liu Chuchu shook her head repeatedly, "On the morning of my wedding, I was sent out of the house when the house was busy, and my personal maid took my place in the sedan chair to Liu's house. I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I hid in the small courtyard.
I didn't dare to go out, but it was the maid who brought me food the next day who told me what happened in the seventh prince's house. After that, I didn't dare to go out anymore, but I didn't want to be discovered by you."
Yun Shang saw that she couldn't find anything out if she continued to ask, so she shook her head at Qin Yi, gestured to Qian Zui, and asked her to take Liu Chuchu down.
After Liu Chuchu left the yard, Yun Shang turned her head and looked at Luo Qingyan: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Luo Qingyan sneered, "I didn't say anything valuable, so I don't know if I'm really stupid or pretending to be stupid."
Yun Shang also felt that there seemed to be something hidden in Liu Chuchu's words. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I will order the secret guards to interrogate and try to interrogate."
Luo Qingyan nodded and said: "If nothing can be found through the interrogation, let someone send her back. Keep an eye on her and maybe you will gain something."
Yun Shang responded softly.
The palace banquet started in the Youshi period, but because it was a formal palace banquet and dress could not be casual, Yun Shang asked Qinyi to dress her up early. She wore the princess's court dress and made up according to the style.
After finishing dressing up, Yun Shang had to sit upright, causing Luo Qingyan to look over frequently, his eyes falling on the complicated hair crown on Yun Shang's head, "I never noticed it before.
Decorating clothes is really a bit heavy, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yun Shang smiled bitterly, "It's just tiring, but it's not unbearable. There aren't many formal banquets like this in the palace, so I can get through it if I endure it."
Luo Qingyan opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. Seeing that the time was almost up, she helped Yun Shang out of the house and got on the carriage towards the palace.
There were already many carriages parked at the entrance of the palace, and there was a steady flow of people. Yun Shang followed them into the palace, went up the high steps, and was guided by the palace people into the Tai Chi Hall, which is the closest place in the Tai Chi Hall.
He sat down in the seat in front of him. Yun Shang's eyes swept across the palace, and he understood a little bit about the layout of the palace today. The positions of the concubines and underage princes and princesses in the palace were on the left hand side of the palace. The palace should be
All the titled concubines had arrived, and there seemed to be dozens of them. On the right side of the main hall, and below the concubines, were the positions of the courtiers and their families, arranged one by one according to their rank.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the position of the concubines. Now that Concubine Yun Gui was missing and Concubine Shu was banned, the position of the fourth concubine was almost vacant. The first one sitting in the position of concubine was actually Ning Qian.
Yun Shang frowned slightly, feeling slightly worried for some reason.
The first among the courtiers is naturally Prince Rui, then the Seventh Prince, then Su Qi, and after Su Qi is Duke Hua.
The emperor and empress have not yet arrived, but there is some noise in the palace, and there are voices everywhere. Yun Shang looks at it, and there are also many people who look at Luo Qingyan from time to time. Perhaps it is because Luo Qingyan always has a cold face.
, but no one came forward to speak.
Yun Shang and Hua Yutong exchanged glances and smiled slightly. Hua Yutong seemed a little nervous, the brocade handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled a little, and her lips were slightly white.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the Seventh Prince next to Hua Yutong. He also looked like he was recovering from a serious illness, and his face was pale and tight.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the servants hurriedly coming from outside the palace and standing in two rows on both sides. Yun Shang looked at the formation and knew that the emperor and empress had arrived, so he withdrew his gaze and looked intently.
Directly in front of you.
"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived..." The voice of the chamberlain came from outside the palace, and as soon as the voice fell, it sounded again in the palace, "The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived..."
Everyone stood up quickly and knelt on the ground, "May your Majesty be safe, the Queen is a thousand years old."
The sound of robes brushing against the white jade floor came softly, and after a while, Xia Huanyu's faint voice sounded, "Get down."
Everyone thanked him and stood up and sat down in their respective seats.
Xia Huanyu glanced at everyone indifferently, and there was silence in the palace. Xia Huanyu just said: "Today is New Year's Eve. You don't have to be so restrained. The queen has arranged a lot of programs for everyone today. New Year's Eve is supposed to be a wonderful time."
It is a day for family reunion. My dear friends have also worked very hard this year. I would like to offer you a drink and just have fun today."
Xia Huanyu raised his wine glass from the royal table and toasted everyone. Everyone hurriedly followed suit and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Queen, it's time to start." Xia Huanyu turned his eyes and looked at the queen. The queen smiled slightly and nodded to the maid beside her. The maid took a golden stick and knocked on the bell beside her.
The lamps in the hall dimmed one by one, leaving only the few in the middle. Then the music started, and a woman in red, veiled, walked in from the side and danced gracefully.
The banquets in the palace were all like this, and there was nothing new. Yun Shang felt a little boring, so she turned away and quietly scanned around the palace, landing on the area where the concubines were.
Huicai sat a little further back, looking a little pale.
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment and then understood that if she was as seriously ill as Luo Qingyan said, all the food prepared for the banquet would be big fish and meat, and there were many concubines in her area, so I'm afraid it would be the same.
There were all kinds of fragrances, and she must have been very uncomfortable. But even though everyone in the hall was watching the song and dance performance, there was no guarantee that they would not notice her.
The dance in the hall had finished and the lamps were lit. Yun Shang calmly withdrew her gaze and quietly gestured to Ning Qian.
Ning Qian nodded, smiled and clapped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, this dancer is quite good at dancing."
Xia Huanyu nodded casually, "Reward."
The queen's eyes fell on Ning Qian, and she said with a smile, "I heard that Xiang Noble Concubine's dancing is very good. Since Xiang Noble Concubine has said that she is good at dancing, then naturally it is good."
Ning smiled lightly and said nothing. He just lowered his head and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
The queen then said to Xia Huanyu: "Every year there are some singing and dancing performances, and today I have arranged some that everyone can participate in."
"Oh? How can I participate?" Xia Huanyu didn't show any likes or dislikes on his face, he was just indifferent.
The Queen smiled and said, "I have prepared twenty anagrams. The name of each program is an anagram. After all these programs are performed, the one who guesses the most correctly will get a certain reward. Your Majesty
What do you think?"
"fine."
"The name of the dance just now is called Moonlight Up to the West." The queen said with a smile, "The next one is a song that breaks the formation, and its name is Wencheng Wude."
The lights in the palace dimmed a little more, and a burst of drums sounded. Qian Zui bent down to add some fruit wine for Yun Shang, and Fang whispered: "The Queen has prepared a highlight today, and the next one is
I want to choose a woman for His Majesty."
"Oh? But the beautiful lady in the palace?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Qianzhu knelt down and adjusted Yun Shang's dress, and responded softly, "The princess has also seen that beautiful girl, the one who bumped into Princess Qianling in the imperial garden that day."
Hearing what Qian Zui said, Yun Shang frowned and pondered for a long time before she remembered, "But it's called Zhao Xianwu?"
Qian Zui nodded, "That's her."
After Qian Zhui finished speaking, he stood up and stood behind Yun Shang in an orderly manner. Yun Shang raised his eyes and looked at the queen who was sitting high above him, and curled his lips coldly. The queen was an interesting person.
There were so many beautiful girls she placed in the harem, but she just chose Zhao Xianwu. Su Ruji, Su Ruji, she is really powerful...
Yun Shang hooked her hand and signaled Qian Zui to come up. Qian Zui hurriedly stepped forward. Yun Shang whispered a few words before sitting up straight.
Luo Qingyan noticed the movement of the people next to him, turned his head and asked softly, "What's wrong? But what happened?"
Yun Shang smiled and shook her head, "Nothing."
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and smiled softly, "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me and we can leave early."
Yun Shang responded, then turned his eyes and looked at the group of dancers dancing with swords in the hall, with a sneer on his lips. The real formation-breaking song is not so soft.
When the song ended, there was a roar of applause in the hall.
While everyone was still immersed in the impassionedness of the previous song, and before the lights were lit, they remembered the Queen's voice, "This song is called Lake Light, Water Moon."
Before everyone could react, they saw what looked like flowing water suddenly appearing on the ground of the hall. The sound of water rang in their ears, and a moon slowly rose. A graceful figure suddenly stepped out of the moon, stepping on it.
Sing to the moon, dance to the moon.
The queen actually put a lot of thought into this song. It was not easy just to create this scene of lake, water and moon in this palace.
Everyone was naturally attracted by this wonderful sight. Even Xia Huanyu squinted and stared at the full moon. Yun Shang's eyes collided with Ning Qian's, and Ning Qian turned her head and took a look.
The wise man nodded.
At the end of the song, while everyone was still immersed in the beautiful scenery, the lights were turned on, and the queen had already spoken, "Your Majesty, how do you like watching this song of lake light and moonlight?"
Before Xia Huanyu could speak, he only heard a "bang" sound.
Everyone's attention was attracted. It turned out that the wine bottle on Huicai's table was accidentally knocked to the ground. Huicai's face was a little pale. Everyone thought that he must have been shocked. The Queen frowned.
, his eyes fell on Yun Shang, and he saw Yun Shang drinking fruit wine extremely calmly. The queen said calmly, "Take care of it."
After saying that, he turned to Xia Huanyu and said, "Your Majesty..."
"vomit……"
Everyone then saw the wise man holding the table, as if he was in great pain, and kept retching. (To be continued)
