It's a pity that in the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month, even if there are banquets at the palace, there are not many hot dishes.

Of course it was piping hot when it was first taken out of the pot, but after it was divided and sent all the way from the kitchen to the banquet room, and everyone was restrained and polite, the hot dishes became cold.

Looking at the delicacies on the table, Ruan Jiaojiao just felt it was a pity and was so helpless that she didn't want to move her chopsticks.

So, she drank a few more glasses of wine.

The wine at the palace banquet was the best wine in the largest wine shop in the royal city, but how could Ruan Jiaojiao think it was good after drinking the good stuff.

Thinking that they could go back if they endured it longer. The family must have left food for them. If they went back early, they could have a few drinks with He Zong and watch the New Year together.

They spent last year in the old house. After returning home, they felt tired and did not keep up the New Year's Eve. When the time came, He Zong got up by himself and ordered the New Year's firecrackers. She did not get up when she heard the firecrackers while nestled in the warm bed.

This year I don’t know if we can celebrate the New Year together. If the party ends late, they will have to celebrate their own New Years.

Thinking about it, Ruan Jiaojiao's mood dropped a bit, and she just thought that it would be better if she didn't come to the banquet.

The dancers are not bad, all of them are soft and beautiful, which you can't see outside.

After the dancer from the palace left the stage, she thought she was gone, but she didn't expect that she also invited a singer and opera singer. She liked this.

Because it was the Chinese New Year, all the scenes were arranged to be festive.

Although Ruan Jiaojiao didn't quite understand some of the words, it didn't stop her from listening carefully.

There was a female actor who looked really good-looking and had a sweet voice. Ruan Jiaojiao couldn't help but give him a reward.

It's no wonder that the gentleman and his wife are fascinated by the actor, and she also likes to watch it.

She has watched many dramas and many beauties, but this boss named Cao is the most outstanding female actor she has ever seen in the past.

I don't know if he is willing to invite me, or when I will invite him to my house to sing.

The concert didn't end until midnight, and Ruan Jiaojiao secretly guessed that she would never go back to celebrate the New Year.

There was a sudden commotion outside. The princess sent people to the front to see what was going on. It was just a small incident and no one paid it any mind.

After a while, the man came back and whispered in the princess's ear. The princess looked stunned for a moment and then immediately returned to her gentle look.

"It's nothing. There are a lot of people setting off fireworks this year, and many people have flocked to the streets to watch the excitement. The prince is worried that there will be crowding due to the large number of people, so he asked the palace guards to assign some people to patrol."

As soon as the princess finished speaking, fireworks exploded in the sky outside, one cluster after another that was particularly gorgeous.

Ruan Jiaojiao's attention was also attracted. She thought, it was indeed the royal city, and there were many more fireworks than in their small place.

However, after this trip, there were no more fireworks. There were no scattered fireworks at all.

This is definitely not right. It's New Year's Eve this year. Not to mention wealthy businessmen, anyone with some spare money will set off some fireworks tonight, but now even the sound of firecrackers has stopped.

Many ladies at the banquet noticed this and caused a slight commotion. The princess was also a little unable to sit still.

After a while, a group of guards with sabers came in and said, "Princess, there are bandits attacking the city, and there are also some bandits ambushed in the city.

The prince has sent several generals to lead people to quell the chaos, and asked the princess and ladies to wait patiently. "

Those present were all female relatives who had never seen any big battles. How could they not panic when they heard that bandits had entered the city?

Fortunately, the princess is still here to take charge, giving them some peace of mind.At this time, the streets of the Royal City have been disrupted by bandits. The bandits killed people at will on the street. It can be said that they killed people on sight. The streets were dyed red with blood in less than a cup of tea. Several city gates were also destroyed at the same time. attack.

He Zong and several generals were sent to quell the chaos, but the streets were too chaotic and bandits were everywhere. In addition, there were only 2000 soldiers available in the city, while there were at least tens of thousands of bandits attacking the city outside.

When the reinforcements from the military camp on the outskirts of the city came to rescue them, they had to go out and report the news first.

The people hurriedly fled for shelter, hiding from the dead and wounded. Those who were so red-eyed could not tell the difference between ourselves and the enemy in the dark.

"The city gate is broken."

"The rebel army, the rebel army broke the city."

I don't know how many people were killed or what time it was. He Zong and another general fought their way out of the city. Killing people, seizing horses, and rushing to the military camp to move reinforcements, followed by pursuers.

There is no one in the palace who has the heart to listen to any drama. Everyone is in danger and doesn't know how the time is spent.

There are guards in the palace, and ordinary bandits cannot enter.

It turned out that they thought too well. Half an hour later, the team of guards escorted them to the backyard of the palace, where Ruan Jiaojiao met King Yong and a group of civil servants.

Ruan Jiaojiao never expected that the first time she met the prince would be on such an occasion.

But I have to admit that even in such an occasion, the prince was still calm and calm, and his aura was not as if he was under siege, but as if he was waiting for the next good show to start, and he sat upright The high platform is like a bright moon, and you can see that you are free and graceful in every move you make.

Among the ladies, Ruan Jiaojiao, Yu Fang and Mrs. Jin supported each other, feeling their tension and fear.

Fortunately for Mrs. Jin, she was born as a general and could still remain calm at this time, but Mrs. Fang couldn't help but tremble.

Soon, guards came running in to report that the door of the mansion had been breached and the rebels had entered.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked around at everyone, thinking that the guards outside could not withstand it, and the twenty or thirty guards here could not withstand the influx of insurgents.

Today is a very thoughtful day.

The prince who was surrounded by everyone stood up, drew his sword and said loudly: "Do you dare to follow my king and kill the generals out, and kill all the rebels under the sword?"

After a brief silence, someone responded immediately, first the guards of the palace, and then some officials and servants.

When the prince took the lead and led a group of dozens of people out, some of the female relatives actually stood up.

The first one was Mrs. Jin, and then there were two ladies with the same family background as her, and a young lady.

It was exactly what Ruan Jiaojiao wanted. Originally, she had no intention of being the first person, but now it was a critical moment of life and death.

She believed that He Zong could save herself even if everything turned upside down outside, but she didn't want to see He Zong trapped like a lost dog again.

This prince is really good to He Zong. It is better to have this person continue to be their backer than to change to someone who doesn't know who he is.

When Ruan Jiaojiao stood up, Fang held her back. Fang shook her head in panic, "Don't go, what can you do if you go?"

At this time, Fang's face was already stained with tears, and she didn't know when she cried.

"Hide yourself well and wait until I come back to pick you up."

Ruan Jiaojiao opened her hand, tore the excess fabric from her wide sleeves into strips and tied them up, then took off the tasseled bumbo and gave it to Mrs. Fang.
