It was in the afternoon, and the weather was a bit crisp in autumn. There is sunlight through the huge poplar leaves in the palace, sprinkling mottled light and shadow.

This imperial city, after more than a hundred years of wind and rain, even a roadside tree, are more than people know.

Xie ruchuo goes to the Princess Palace with Xiao Xinning for lunch break. She doesn't know that there is an unexpected meeting in the palace not far from here.

A cicada is not willing to cry lonely, a sound of "know", as if to see through the dirty and dirty behind the scenes of this bustling palace.

Xiao Junyi went to find imperial concubine Jing with a lot of anger, but when he got to the gate of the palace, he hesitated. Would it be troublesome for him to go in like this?

It was this hesitation that made him see Cuilian come out. First she was surprised, and then she said with a smile, "please send your regards to the princess. What do you want to do here?"

Xiao Junyi did not leave or stay, so he had to tell a big lie. "I didn't want to come here. I'm thirsty. Can I ask for a glass of water?"

Cuilian said with a smile, "please wait a moment, princess." As he said this, he invited him in and settled him. Then he entered the inner room.

After a while, she came out dressed neatly. Maybe she was a little sleepy, with a little bit of water in her eyes. It was a beautiful picture.

Seeing Xiao Junyi, imperial concubine Jing had some surprise in her eyes. Then she invited all the maids in the palace out with a wave. Then she sat down on the imperial concubine's chair and said with a smile, "Why are you here, but you miss me?"

What she said was very explicit. Xiao Junyi was full of anger, but when she saw the beauty in her arms, she couldn't let it out. As soon as he extended his long arm, he took imperial concubine Jing in his arms and greedily embroidered the fragrance of her hair. He said, "don't you miss me? I've been suffocating these days!"

Jingfei's delicate fingers pointed to his forehead and said angrily, "look at you. There are so many concubines in your family. Isn't it enough for you to vent your anger?"

She didn't say it was OK. As soon as she said it, Xiao Junyi's anger surged up. "It's not the ghost of Xie's family. She repeatedly beat the king in his father's place, saying that the king is arrogant and extravagant, and there are many concubines in the family, and they don't want to make progress! After being scolded by his father, he dismissed all the concubines in the palace! "

He had been under house arrest. After he removed his concubine, his days were even more bleak.

Hearing the words, Princess Jing sneered in her heart, but she said in a soft voice, "according to me, this is also a good thing. When they can't play, it's time for you to be perfect. "

When Princess Jing said this, Xiao Junyi turned angry again and said, "you are my close friend. You are more comfortable than them."

Xiao Junyi said, and then he gave a kiss on Jingfei's cheek.

Jingfei feigned anger and pushed him away. "You're going to be crazy." Then he softened his voice and said, "what are you doing in a hurry? For the Mid Autumn Festival banquet tonight, as usual, the emperor chooses one of the two. At that time, I'll prepare a thin wine and we'll have a talk by candlelight. "

This is a clear seduction. Seeing her like this, Xiao Junyi can't help but shake her heart and say with a bad smile, "OK, I'll have a good talk with you in the evening."

At this point, he thought of his situation these days, his eyes became cold, and he said in a deep voice, "it's a pity that I was able to come out because of my mother's illness this time, and even my movements were restricted in ordinary times. It's a great shame! Hum, one day, I'll make the Xie family look good! "

At the thought of this, his expression became ferocious again. Seeing him like this, imperial concubine Jing despised him in her heart, but she comforted him in a voice, "you have to be patient now. Xie family is nothing. No matter how arrogant she is, she is just a minister. When you ascend the throne, what else can you not get? "

Xiao Junyi's gloomy eyes gradually lowered down and said, "great? I'm afraid that position is getting farther and farther away from me. " In fact, it is clear in his mind that when Emperor Jingdi suppressed him, there were several elder brothers whose positions were higher than him. This position was horizontal and vertical, and could not reach his head.

Unless——

Just this idea just together, Xiao Junyi is all over an exciting spirit, shook his head a way, "forget it, everything with life."

Seeing that he was depressed for a moment, Princess Jing was worried for a moment. Fortunately, her nature was very good. She just pretended to be careless. "Speaking of this, I think of a person. He may be able to help you, but I don't know."

"Who?"

Hearing Xiao Junyi's inquiry, Princess Jing gave a mysterious smile, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

Xiao Junyi's eyes suddenly widened, wondering, "how did he come to the capital?"

Jingfei's mouth was filled with a smile and said, "if the prince wants to, I can help introduce him."

Xiao Junyi looks at her suspiciously, but when she thinks of the origin of imperial concubine Jing again, she is also surprised. No one in this palace is simple. If Princess Jing is really a gentle woman in Jiangnan, she may not be able to live in this cannibal harem until this time.

Is that the person behind Jingfei?

The color of the sky gradually sinks, and the setting sun burns the whole sky red.

This year's Mid Autumn Festival banquet, Emperor Jing opened a special case, allowing men and women to sit at the same table, and emperors and concubines to sit at the same place.

Officials and their wives were waiting for the banquet early. Xie rucao didn't come in with Xiao Xinning until the banquet was about to begin.

Xiao Jun Xizheng was sitting alone in his seat. There was a lot of bustle around him, but he was alone. It seemed that he was out of tune with the bustle.

However, at the moment of seeing Xie rucao, Xiao Junxi's face suddenly burst into a smile. In a flash, as if the winter faded, spring flowers.

When Xie rucao sat in front of him, Xiao Junxi just chuckled and asked, "how can this time come?"

Xie ruchuo arranged her dress and said with a smile, "the seventh Princess lingered and refused to come here. I asked her what's the matter, but she hesitated and refused to say, which delayed her until now." Then he asked, "when did you come?"

Xiao Junxi poured a cup of hot tea for her, handed it to her hand and said with a smile, "I came earlier. I thought you would come earlier."

Later, Xiao Junxi didn't say it, and Xie rucao understood it. She was a little shy and said, "I've kept you waiting."

"No harm."

As soon as Xiao Jun Xi finished these two words, he heard the voice of the Chamberlain outside the Hall ring out, "the emperor comes, the concubine and empress come."

All of a sudden, a group of people knelt down in the hall and drank in unison, "long live the emperor, long live the empress, please give her good luck."

Emperor Jing raised his hand and said in a loud voice, "ladies and gentlemen, let's have a drink at the Mid Autumn Festival banquet today, regardless of age and size!"

Although he said so, who dares to do so? However, the mouth must be harmonious, and there is a harmony in the moment.

When Emperor Jing sat down, Princess Ye sat down beside him.

Huifei said that she was ill, so naturally she would not be present at this occasion, so only yeguifei was left around Jingdi. The other concubines sat at the bottom according to the rank, while those of lower rank were not qualified to come to this hall.

A courteous official yelled, "play music --"

For a while, there were some singers and musicians who came in. The chime bells were loud and the orchestras were a little sweet. Although they were solemn, they were less human.

Xie ruzhuo sits beside Xiao Junxi, while the other party's hand has been holding her under her sleeve.

It seems to feel Xie ruzhuo's distraction. Xiao Junxi looks back at her favorite smile and embraces all her emotions.

Xie rucao is not embarrassed to be exposed at all. He raises the smile of his lips and turns his head elsewhere.

No, I saw Shen Jingci's venomous look.

As soon as Xie ruchuo's heart shines, Shen Jingci's eyes are really everywhere. She is always paying attention to herself. It's really an honor for her.

After a grand music performance, it is a graceful and peaceful scene of music and dance. Emperor Jing stood up first and raised his glass. All the ministers and family members did not dare to fall down. They respected the emperor one after another and rushed to drink it.

After drinking this glass of wine, people just began to push the cup to change the cup, and the words and smiles were lively.

Only one person, from the beginning of the banquet until now, a face is gloomy, never smile.

Xie ruzhuo didn't notice it before. After hearing a slight commotion on the right side, he just followed the voice and looked over.

That seat is the Zhang family, different from the past love to be in the limelight, today's Zhang Xiuyan seems to be trying to hide herself behind the crowd, not to be found.

But her idea didn't seem to work out. Because the reason for the commotion was that she vomited.

Normally, the weather changes a lot. It's normal for Jiao Didi's ladies to vomit after catching cold, but Zhang Xiuyan looks like retching with her mouth covered.

And in front of her, there was a plate of eight treasure pickled duck.

Xie rucao looked at Zhang Xiuyan casually before and then drew back her eyes. But as soon as she turned her head, she suddenly remembered something and suddenly looked back at Zhang Xiuyan.

Sure enough, she pushed the eight treasure sauce duck aside. Although her eyes were full of tears, there was no filth on her lips.

In other words, she did retch.

The commotion soon subsided. After all, it was no big deal, and no one was willing to make any unpleasantness in the presence of the emperor. After a while, however, peace returned to the Zhang family's seat.

Xie rucao looks at Zhang Xiuyan thoughtfully, but there is a faint idea in her heart. I don't know why. Zhang Xiuyan's appearance just now reminds her of her pregnancy in her previous life for no reason!

But it shouldn't be. She remembers that in her previous life, when the imperial doctor felt her pulse, she clearly said that pregnant women would only have vomiting symptoms after full term. Zhang Xiuyan was defiled by Xiao Junyi, and it didn't seem to last long——

After thinking about it for a long time, Xie rucao couldn't figure out why, so he put it in his heart. When she came back to herself, she looked into the bowl in front of her, and then she was dumbfounded.

In a daze for a while, Xiao Junxi had already put the shrimps and crabs in the plate in front of him and filled a small plate full of them.

See her return to God, Xiao Jun Xi just lip angle smile, "try to see."
