Chapter 803: King Ming Makes a Move (5)
"Yiyi, Yue Zhengyang is back."

"When? Yesterday?"

"This morning. There were no accidents during the fifty miles escorted by him. However, according to what he said, both he and Qingtian felt that someone was following along the way. But those people hid it very cleverly. The two of them The hiding place of those people has never been discovered."

Jingyi was a little worried: "Doesn't that mean that sunny days are dangerous now?"

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, scraped her little nose with his hand and said: "You think I don't know, you sent your little colorful sparrow out? If something happens on a sunny day, I'm afraid that the little colorful sparrow will come back to report Bar?"

Jingyi stuck out her tongue, "I was discovered by you!"

"You don't have to worry about the sunny day. I've said it all, he naturally has a way to deal with it. Moreover, I sent out the people from the secret cabinet yesterday to covertly protect it along the way. The reason why I chose to set off yesterday was because I was worried that someone would Sunny came to test whether he has a partner in the court. The people from the Dark Pavilion set off a day late, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"That's the best! You are thoughtful."

"What I'm worried about now is that tomorrow's palace banquet may not be easy to handle!"

"How to say?"

"Yesterday, King Jin made some moves, and King Ming was not idle. Our people found that he had entered a farm outside the city, but our people couldn't get close because the guards there were too tight. It was said that he entered a farm in three steps. Gang, five steps and one sentry is not too much! He stayed in that farm for a long time. But our people can't find out what secrets are there in that farm?"

After hearing this, Jingyi didn't take it seriously and said: "He loves to have any secrets, so he has what he wants! Anyway, I have a hunch that the one he wants to target must be King Jin, not us! Not to mention It's the virtuous king!"

"Oh? You think clearly? Why?"

"You think, now King Xian has not broken up with him. Last time, the queen planned to use that painting and Princess Lixiang's appearance to plot against him and you. All of this was done in secret. I dare say, apart from us knowing that the black hand behind the scene is the empress, only the emperor knows! Of course he will not know. And King Ming must have not received the news about King Xian watching that play. He He must have thought that at least on the surface he still maintains a good brotherly relationship with King Xian. Now that he is fighting fiercely with King Jin, he will naturally not make another enemy for himself!"

"That makes sense." Yuan Xi nodded, "It's just that King Ming has deep plans, and he is much more difficult to deal with than King Jin! We must always be careful. In case he thinks of a plan to kill two birds with one stone, We will be passive!"

Jingyi frowned and thought for a while, "That's right! King Ming has the same disposition as the empress. He is kind on the surface, but he is vicious on the inside! We have to guard against it."

While the two were talking, the secretary over there called and said that lunch had been prepared, and it was placed in the flower hall.

This time, Jingyi didn't let him hold her, but held hands with him and went to the flower hall together.Looking at the vegetarian dishes on the table, there was no trace of meat, Jingyi's eyes lit up, "These dishes are so beautiful! Just looking at the emerald green ones will make people want to eat!"

Yuan Xi knew that it was because she had an appetite, so she helped her clean her hands, then sat her down and began to eat.

Jingyi used a lot of this meal.Yuan Xi was very happy, so he forgot about inviting Liu Yizheng to the back of his mind.Since Yiyi is fine, it seems that she is too bored by herself.And nothing to do.When so many people came together yesterday, she was very happy to see her playing, and she ate a lot!It's just that when people left, she lost her energy.Thinking of this, Yuan Xi felt a little guilty!In this capital city, there are not many ladies and ladies who are familiar with Jingyi.This has something to do with Jingyi's secluded and simple life in the past, and naturally it has something to do with the two and a half years that I have brought her to live in the closed city.

If the city is closed, how can Jingyi be bored?So many friends, so many children look forward to her seeing them every day.Yuan Xi was slightly stunned, and said lightly: "Yiyi, after tomorrow, we will be able to go back to the closed city. After the closed city, you will not be bored! There will be many people vying to come and accompany you is you!"

When Jingyi heard that she had returned to Fengcheng, her spirits indeed came to life. When she thought of Nanny He, Haitang, Fu Wushuang and others, her eyes shone brightly!
In the morning of the next day, Jingyi changed into her palace attire and went to the palace alone by car.Because King Xian and King Ping were going to leave tomorrow, the emperor was worried that the dinner would make them drink too much and miss the schedule, so he ordered the banquet to be held at noon.And Yuanxi and the others went directly to Chongwen Hall after the court was over because they were in the upper court.

At the gate of the palace, Si Hua raised the curtain and screamed, "My lord!"

It turned out that Yuanxi was worried about Jingyi and went to pick her up at the gate of the palace himself.Helping Jingyi out of the carriage with her own hands, she saw the figure of Princess Jin who had just entered.

"Why did you come to pick me up at the gate of the palace? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?" Jingyi scolded.You must know that let alone a prince, even ordinary ministers at the gate of this palace did not come to greet their family members in person at the gate of this palace!In this society where men are superior to women, he really lost his status as a prince.

"What's the joke? I'm here to pick up my wife, why not?" Yuan Xi's words happened to be heard by Princess Xian who just got off the carriage.She looked at Jingyi's eyes, and there was a little more envy and a little puzzlement.

She had heard of King Ping doting on his wife like his life, of course.Seeing that King Ping actually came to pick up his concubine at the gate of the palace in person, it is really strange!In addition, she noticed that when King Ping talked to Su Jingyi, he claimed that he was always me and never used the word "king".It's really not an ordinary pet!
Entering the Chongwen Hall, you can see that the two sides of the hall are surrounded by fragrant mist, presumably to cover up the various smells in the hall, the most important thing is the smell of alcohol!And the layout in this hall is also completely new. All the gauze curtains have been replaced with light green, and chrysanthemum patterns are embroidered with gold thread on them, giving people a refreshing feeling.All the tableware and dishes are also blue and white with a white background, and a layer of gold rim is added on the outside of the blue and white, which is both elegant and noble. One can tell that the person who prepared it put a lot of thought into it.Looking at the tables and chairs in the hall, they are all made of high-quality huanghuali, but the color is lighter, and it complements the light green gauze hat!
In the hot summer, blue and green colors give people a sense of coolness. The decoration in this hall was originally based on red and yellow. In summer, it will inevitably give people a sense of dullness and congestion!Now, just changing the gauze curtains, tableware, and tables and chairs into light-toned ones will change the atmosphere of the entire hall into a fresh and elegant one, which is refreshing.

After the emperor, queen and others were all present, the banquet began.

After a song and dance, a beauty came in from outside, it was Wang Wei, concubine of the Ming Palace.The empress looked displeased, and said in a deep voice, "Today's palace banquet, why are you so late?"

"After reporting to my mother, my son didn't come late on purpose, it was only because when I left the mansion, I met a woman who called for grievances and blocked my carriage, so my son came late."

After hearing this, the emperor lowered his eyes and said nothing, something bad flashed in Concubine De's heart, but the empress still asked in a deep voice: "I'm just a commoner, how dare I stop your carriage?"

"After returning to my mother, I later realized that the woman was illiterate, and mistook my carriage for the Jin Palace."

Concubine De's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face, but she looked at Concubine Wang Shu's eyes with a hint of inquiry.

"Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"Exactly. I heard from the woman that she seemed to be talking about nine generations of single inheritance, and said that there is only this one son, and she must not be given another surname. She said it was a member of the Prince Jin's mansion. The servant girl is her husband's best friend, and came to beg for her husband's son."

"Boom!" With a loud sound, Concubine De and Prince Jin felt as if something had been blasted in their minds, and it was blank!Only the sentence, "Come here to ask for her husband's son" was left.
