Palace practice, cold food, Dragon Boat Festival, MidAutumn Festival, Chung Yeung, the four festivals, all in the Wenyao Palace banquet.

Wenyao Palace in the former dynasty, but for the convenience of the consort to go, there are special canals connected, plain heavy deep locks, in festivals, only layer by layer open.

The tunnel is long and narrow and deep, with high palace walls on both sides, and a pair of chesthigh ceramic tanks every ten or so steps, filled with water to prevent fire.

On this day by the water tank, two more pots of osmanthus bonsai have been put in for the season.

Elegant osmanthus aroma filled the air, a group of palace consort's incense are pressed down, smell sweet, mixed with a hint of water vapor, the canal was originally not see the sun all year round cold and depressing, washed out a lot.

When the tunnel is finished, out of a door, the outside world opens up, but it is the back of Wen Yao Palace. The courtyard.

Palace rooms, especially in the former dynasty, in order to prevent assassination, near the building, is not allowed to grow grass. The guards stand in the corridor, a clear view, Fang is safe.

Therefore, you can already see the temple windows of Wenyao Palace from here.

Wide courtyard, white jade engraved twining flower pattern on the floor tiles, but placed a multitude of bonsai, mainly osmanthus chrysanthemums, other flowers blooming at this time of the year around, fragrant, and even attracted a few originally has been missing bees and butterflies around.

It would have been straight out of spring if the west wind hadn't been soughing.

"This True Concubine of ours." The noble consort who had gotten out of the stepping carriage looked around and raised an eyebrow, just as she heard Jia Congyuan, who had walked up behind her to hold her hand, mutter, "Spreading money can be a real handful! In previous years, the Empress presided over the MidAutumn Festival Banquet. Court here but never move, around no one comes to the place, also this extravagant."

After all, this place is reserved for the consorts to get out of their chariots, who would dare to enter by mistake?

Empress Ji came from a wealthy background, but did not have a preference for profligacy, so it was all about the front, and this side did not move at all.

Now this into the eyes of the flowers, eighty percent is the meaning of the cloud wind Huang.

"You say that now." Zheng Guifei let Jia Chongyuan support her, no smile in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, "When you went to visit the Glorious Qing Palace, you were very attentive!"

"Your Highness ..." Jia Chongyuan explained sardonically, "That's not ... that's not trying to find out the true consort's falsehoods? "

When the cloud wind Huang with the emperor for the play, abruptly claimed illness, Wei HengYin misunderstanding under the potential to force the Palace Queen, Princess Ying Fei Yue XiuYuan has enough backing, not to be moved is also just.

Lu Chong Yi, Jia Cong Yuan and Xue Jie Yu, however, did not hold out and eventually followed Wei Heng Yan to the Glorious Qing Palace.

For this reason, Jia Chongyuan has been changing ways to please Zheng Guifei in the past few days, hoping that she will be able to forgive herself for not remembering the small man and not being able to live with the pressure.

Just the noble consort has been faint, and does not say forgive her, and does not say do not forgive, in short, one should be attentive to receive, in Jia Chanyuan happy, but coldly stabbed on a few sentences, called her back again and terrified up.

Jia Chongyuan has been anxious for a few days, but now she is actually a bit used to it ...

At this moment, seeing that your consort seemed to be smiling, shamefacedly continued to hold her arm, "Your Highness carefully footed."

Compared to her face to act as a courtesan to please Zheng Guifei, Lu Chongyi is much colder to Ying Fei, just walk in the middle of the line, with Ying Fei not even a wink.

It is no wonder that Jia Chong Yuan's father and brother, although not low, but are Zheng tool to promote up, belonging to the Zheng tool lineage, she is in front of Zheng Guifei, naturally can not straighten the waist to; Lu Chanyi's rightful father, Qingping Hou, is the regent's current fatherinlaw, on the title is still in the Zhaowu Bo above, but do not need to Ying Fei too much to meet.

She even resented Consort Ying a bit for not backing her up, making her have to go soft with Consort Zhen ...

A line of concubines walked into the main hall with different minds.

Wenyao Palace perhaps because specifically for the sake of the banquet, the construction and the palaces are different, is modeled after the ancient pattern on the first for the high platform, on the stage has a roof, four columns to support; the high platform sits in the north towards the south, east and west each have two corridors, said the corridor, in fact, it is also the place where the guests sit; right in the middle of the high platform, but a piece of open air open space, the original tiles paved a layer of stone blue bottom pinch the gold silk tangled chrysanthemums rug, is for the Kabuki People perform songs, dances and juggling places.

The corridor connecting the east and west corridors on the south side is the place where the palace staff and the ministers accompanying the ministers to the banquet standby.

Because of this kind of festival, the clan elders will have to attend, and the east and west corridor is very wide apart, the center of the Kabuki blocking the line of sight, the corridor on the curtains, only according to the male left and female right arrangement of the seats.

Your Consort led the concubines into the right side of the corridor in a row to take a seat, opposite the corridor, has sat many officials, look at the position, should not be very high official position otherwise this moment in the palace doorway waiting for the Regent, Zheng Fu, Cui Wan, these people, flanking them to arrive.

"Those are the ones at the bottom?" Concubine Zheng was not interested in these officials, but looked to the seats near the southern corridor, lifted her chin, and asked her left and right in a low voice, "Have you inquired clearly? Are they all talented and unmarried?"

Left and right nodded, "The family specifically arranged for someone to go and look at it, and the worst of them had decent eyebrows, though shorter, yet that person was a talented man in Shu, and even had the title of 'Little Zero Mountain'."

Mr. Zero Mountain, Wei Changkong, no matter how the world evaluates his behavior of abandoning Emperor Xiaozong back then, there is no way to speak of this man's talent.

The same Shuzhong people, can get "small zero mountain" gag, can be seen in his talent.

Noble Consort "hmm" sound, "small zero mountain? It seems that the person who gave him this nickname is not generally cynical about him, but really has the ability."

Who all know the emperor opened the purpose of the Enke, this time there are scholars were called small zero mountain, can not be said, Chunjia heard, associated with Wei Changkong, but where there is the slightest taboo, the future of this scholar, can be imagined!

It is clear that he is afraid of people's talent and intends to use this method to cut off people's future.

Princess Zheng laughed lightly and didn't ask any more questions, only picking up the tea and slowly sipping it.

Her heart is quite irritated at the moment, the reason why this moment led the concubines to come, is according to the time given by the cloud wind Huang had thought that the cloud wind Huang did not join with others to the smoke orchid Palace convergence together over, should also be here to personally meet, accompanied by her into the seat.

In this way, they show their rank, their superiority and their inferiority.

As a result, they have come, but this real princess is simply missing?

Zheng Guifei arrived at the main hall only to wake up, Yun Feng Huang is intentional this MidAutumn Festival Banquet is hosted by her, Empress Ji's face has been played, but the real consort is not satisfied, so the arrangements for Guifei to arrive early, their own eighty percent to go to the Empress Yuan or simply follow the emperor, and then come over later.

In this way, all eyes in the hall saw, originally belonged to the Empress of the duties and powers handed over to the True Concubine not to mention, even with the Noble Consort have to arrive in advance, waiting for the True Concubine!

... which even if on the surface of the princess waiting is the Empress Dowager as well as Chunjia it, but the people will understand, the Empress Princess is difficult to beat the real consort of the rise of the trend, the wind direction of the six palaces, but to change.

Since Chunjia's ascension to the throne, the tacit understanding that family lineage determines status will be replaced by imperial favor determining respectability.

It means the triumph of imperial power.

Zheng Guifei this period of time by the cloud wind Huang in the dark to make trips is not once or twice, so that she was a little regret when looking for the cloud wind Huang alliance although her pregnancy around can not be kept, but also decided long ago to take advantage of this point to pull a highranking consort under the water, but at the time if you do not choose the Lady Concubine, Lady Concubine, if the, Empress Yuan and Chunjia even if they want to support the The first time I saw a woman in the house, I was in the middle of the night, I was in the middle of the night, I was in the middle of the night.

It's supposed to be Sook Fei anyways!

Although Shufei is not a lamp, but used to do virtuous, acting always more than cloud wind Huang this kind of relentless to the gentle.

Her heart is mixed up, muddleheaded do not know how long, by the left and right pushed, only to follow the hall of people together to leave the table to pay homage, welcome mother empress dowager as well as Chunjia emperor.

Chunjia is specifically to go to the spring lethargy Palace accompanied by Queen Yuan to come, Yun Feng Huang early morning on the pretext of helping the Queen Dowager staff makeup in the spring lethargy in the Palace to rely on, this time rightfully accompanied by the same to.

The crowd worshiped the empress dowager to worship the emperor, although she was two steps behind, yet those who moved slower were actually even kneeling with her.

Not to mention the mood of these people, Chunjia Feng Yuan Empress Dowager to the high platform to take a seat, and in a low voice ordered to add a seat in their own under the head to Yunfeng Huang, underneath someone asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the Empress why has not yet come?"

"Labor imperial uncle see ask." Chun Jia glanced at the inquirer and calmly said, "Queen Qu has been recuperating for many years and doesn't like noise, so this morning, she sent someone to talk to Queen Yuan and said that she wouldn't be coming over this day; as for the Empress, her old illness recurred a couple days ago, so this festival banquet is run by Princess Zhen and Kun Ze. Today, naturally, can not be present."

The Regent said, "County Lord Kunze has also grown up and is able to share His Majesty's worries."

Did not mention cloud wind Huang's credit not to mention, followed by, "the emperor's seat, always only ..."

"Your Majesty." Words did not finish, Yuan Empress Dowager suddenly smiled and opened her mouth, pointing to the cloud wind Huang, warm words, "mourning these days is not very good, has been this child service, this day a festival banquet, mourning heart happy, special special come, so want this child in the side wait ..."

"Since it is the Empress Dowager's intention, I have nothing to say since." The Regent frowned, he originally did not want Yun Feng Huang to replace the Empress and take a seat on the side of the Emperor's throne.

This is not only because he learned that Yun Feng Huang was quite bullying Consort Ying and Lu Chanyi in the palace exams, but also because he had decided before that he wanted to take advantage of this Festival Banquet to give Chunjia a good hammering.

Of course, given that Chunjia is not a soft persimmon now, the Regent does not want to do things too far, lest the relationship between the two sides is deadlocked, no room for mediation, when the time comes, the cheap is not an outsider?

So intend to Yun Feng Huang this recently hot real consort to start, let her back to the corridor seat up originally if Chunjia refuted, he has long been ready for many words, but did not expect the Queen Mother Yuan will interrupt, but also mentioned that she is not good body and bones need to be close to the consort that has been serving care.

The Regent was aware of Empress Yuan's position in Chun Jia's mind, and with that, he couldn't say anything.

After all, Chunjia is his nephew in terms of seniority, he relies on the old man a little, but also just; Yuan Empress Dowager is his generation, or women, in full view of the public, if he is again and again with the Empress Dowager argument ... is really inappropriate.

It's also easy for Junjia to hold a grudge.

Therefore, the Regent could only lay down the law.

Yun Feng Huang glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and sat back down, skimming his lips, sitting down on the seat quickly added by the palace people, turning his head towards Empress Yuan and showing a sweet smile.

... Actually, she hadn't planned to be seated on the high platform before.

The main thing is that during this time, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are enough to lift, the momentum has been, today also designed to step on the noble consort a foot, there is no need to continue to pull the hatred.

The Empress was still around, so she took the seat that only the Empress could sit in, so she couldn't help but be rumored in the direction of the adulterous consort.

It was just unexpected that Chunjia would take the initiative to have someone set up a seat for her not to mention that Empress Yuan even helped to give her a helping hand.

Sitting down Yunfeng Huang face a grateful, but not much joy in the heart, but pondered, Chunjia mother and son to do so, is not there any conspiracy?

Just thinking about it, as a result, the regent just sat down, the other courtiers have not yet opened their mouths to ease the somewhat cold atmosphere, close to the door there, suddenly there is a figure on the platform can not be seen clearly from the table, walked to the center of the bowed down, said loudly, "students think, the regent said very reasonable! The true consort's birth is flawed, the family style is not correct, can not be a consort, let alone accompanying the driver around?"

The hall fell silent, and just about everyone looked at the Regent.

And the Regent was at a loss, and then, he thought of something and looked angrily at Zheng Gui and Cui Wan, who were at the bottom of the table.
