Chapter 111

Besides Xuanyuan, if he had known earlier that he would not see him for three years after leaving Jianzhou.When she was in Qizhou, he would never let Ying help her.Instead, go by yourself.Although in the past few years, she has been outside to help him patrol, understand the sufferings of the people, and punish corrupt officials.Let him handle the government affairs with peace of mind, govern the country in an orderly manner, and let the people have enough food and clothing.But he would rather suffer more and worry less.I also don't want her to run around all by herself.

But every time she wrote a letter to urge her to come back, her answer would be "It's not yet time!" He didn't know what time she was referring to, so he could only hope in his heart that that time would come soon.

Duanmu is the luckiest one, but he is also the poorest one.He knows her whereabouts best, but he can only follow her footsteps.Just because two silver foxes cannot appear in the same place.Therefore, after they separated from Qizhou, they only relied on flying pigeons to convey information.

But he was finally looking forward to the chance to meet her.Duanmu has been very excited since he received the news that Leng Jie asked him to rush to Beijing to discuss matters.It took him a little over half a day to get there in a day and a half.According to the instructions in the letter, he waited early on the street closest to the palace gate.Watching the sun in the sky gradually move westward, the scheduled meeting time is getting closer and closer.His heartbeat is also getting faster and faster.

Finally, when the moon was rising, Chi Xue's tall and handsome body appeared on the deserted street with his longing sweetheart on his back.Duanmu Xingchen's heart suddenly thumped like a drum being hit.

The street in front of the palace gate was extremely empty, and Leng Jie saw Duanmu Xingchen waiting there at a glance.In three years, he hasn't changed much.Dressed in a dark green brocade robe, with a jade crown and hair tied up, he was still handsome and handsome as he greeted him with a smiling face.

"Woo--" Leng Jie reined in her horse and stopped beside Duanmu, and "incited" to get off her horse.He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was late at the city gate just now."

Immediately after that, before Duanmu could respond, she put her head close to his ear and gave some instructions in a low voice.Duanmu just nodded yes, and didn't even have a chance to say a whole sentence.Leng Jie had already returned to the horse.Leave a sentence: "It's up to you tonight!"

Then he raised his reins and rode his horse to the palace.

After leaving Duanmu Xingchen with a disappointed face in a daze for a moment, he hurriedly called out to her back: "Xiaojie!"

Leng Jiele rein turned her head and smiled, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Everything is enough with this smile!

"You have to be careful!" Xing Chen said softly.

"I will!" Leng Jie nodded and said, "Go get ready!"

Leng Jie showed her gold medal and entered the palace gate unimpeded.She stopped the guards who went to report, and went directly back to Qingfengju.Everything in Qingfengju is the same, as if she just left yesterday.It made her feel more gracious.

"Miss! May I ask what is your purpose here?" The medicine servant guarding the gate stopped her and asked Leng Jie politely.

This is the imperial palace, and the people who can come here are all big shots except for the maids and eunuchs.And the noble lady in front of her is so noble that people dare not look at her squarely. At first glance, she can't be a palace maid.Now that the master is not here, although the people in Qingfengju are taken care of by Eunuch Fu.But he didn't dare to offend the harem master casually like before.

"I'm your master's junior sister, named Leng Jie. I will stay here for a while. You go and ask the housekeeper to see me." Leng Jie said while walking away from him.

After hearing the sound, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and immediately recognized the fairy-like young lady in front of him as the nameless young man who looked like a fairy boy three years ago.At that time, he suspected that he was a woman.I didn't expect that she was really a lady.The butler greeted him in surprise.

"Young master! You are back!"

Immediately seeing the surprised expression on the face of the medicine servant, he immediately reacted, slapped himself and then changed his words: "Look at my eyes! It's clearly a young lady! But it's called a son. It really deserves to be slapped!"

Leng Jie knew that the housekeeper had recognized her.He casually handed the red blood in his hand to the housekeeper, and gently ordered: "It doesn't matter what you call it, you just need to help me take care of the red blood. In addition, I will live here for a while, and you will ask someone to take care of me. Clean up the room you live in."

The butler immediately replied: "Miss can live in at any time, but you and your son's room is cleaned every day."

"Thank you!"

Leng Jie nodded in satisfaction and thanked.He took off the burden from Chixue's back, and patted on Chixue's back lightly as a farewell to it.He told the butler again: "Take good care of my red blood!"

After speaking, carrying the burden, he turned and walked towards the room.

Leng Jie opened the door and went in, the inside was indeed the same as when he left.The furniture is spotless.But she found that there was actually a pot of cold tea and a teacup that someone else had drunk on the table.The writing brush she used to practice calligraphy on the desk also has traces of recent use.

Someone lived in her room?Qingfeng is not here, who else will come to Qingfengju besides her?She believed that the housekeeper and medicine servants would never come to her room to drink tea.Think about it, when she said she wanted to live in the original room just now, the housekeeper didn't say who lived there.That means that the person just came here to drink tea and did not stay.People who can come here to drink tea and practice calligraphy at leisure, there is no other person in this palace except Xuanyuan.

Leng Jie shook her head and smiled, holding the teapot and was about to drink.The butler has already arrived at the door with hot tea.

"Miss, that's the overnight tea that the emperor drank last night, you can't drink it."

Leng Jie put down the teapot, and asked casually, "Does the Emperor often come here to drink tea?"

"Yes! The emperor will come to Qingfengju whenever he has time. Sometimes he will play chess by himself in the son's room, but most of the time he will be in a daze in the lady's room. Last night, the emperor left late, so the old servant did not come in time. Take away the tea set. Today, because there is a big state banquet in the palace, all the slaves in the mansion have been transferred to help. Only the old slave and the gatekeeper were left behind, so they didn't come to clean up. Miss..."

"What time does the dinner party start and where is it held?" Leng Jie asked eagerly, interrupting the butler.

"The dinner is held in the Royal Garden. It has already started! Is the lady coming back to attend the dinner?"

Before the housekeeper finished his question, he felt that he was the only one left in the room.The housekeeper couldn't help but said to himself: "Uh! So the young lady is as elusive as the young master!"

At the same time, a grand Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is being held in the brightly lit Imperial Garden.In the garden covered with gorgeous carpets, dozens of mahogany square tables are neatly arranged.Delicate ivory chopsticks and perfectly detailed ceramic utensils rest on the table.The food in the utensil is all rare and precious food.In the center of the seat is an open space of tens of pings.It is specially prepared for the performance of singing and dancing.Just by looking at the venue, one can tell the grandeur of the banquet.

Looking at the list of people who participated in this banquet, it is even more glorious and huge.Apart from the harem concubines, relatives of the emperor, and ministers of civil and military affairs, there was also a group of special guests.That is the envoys from Linbang Xiping.

This is the first time that Jinghe and Xiping communicate with each other, and it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival.That's why the ministers of the DPRK and China proposed to hold this state banquet in the palace.Firstly, it can show the generosity of Jinghe, and secondly, it can show Jinghe's national strength.

Although Xuanyuan was not keen on this, it could even be said to be extremely disgusting.Because Jing and the palace have always adhered to the purpose of building a country through diligence and thrift, and rarely hold these extravagant and wasteful banquets.But as the king of a country, he couldn't refuse what the ministers said about Zhang Xian's national strength.And that Xiping envoy has always emphasized that they will present the heaviest gift to Jinghe at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.Therefore, in terms of emotion and reason, this dinner cannot be avoided.

Followed by the high-pitched report of the eunuch Si Li.The guests took their seats one after another.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is the Xiping envoy and his party.There are thirty of them in total.Among them are men and women, old and young.The women all covered their faces with light veils.The men are tall and mighty, with round waists and thick arms.The old man is about five or sixty years old and wears gorgeous Xiping clothes.It doesn't look kind but it makes people feel sinister and terrifying.The youngest is no more than five or six years old. Like a woman, she hides her face with a light veil, so she cannot see her face clearly.

They gave everyone enough mystery.It attracted all the well-informed courtiers and the harem ladies who don't know the world's affairs, all discussing and commenting on it.It wasn't until the last loud voice: "The emperor is here!" This chaotic scene was quieted down.

Emperor Xuanyuan, who was dressed in a royal-colored dragon robe, was accompanied by Eunuch Fu and Ziying.Subaru's head and chest expanded, and he walked to the venue majesticly.The elite eyes stared at the audience, and the imperial aura that was not angry and self-imposing was immediately revealed.

Everyone bowed their heads and knelt down immediately, and shouted three times: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Xuanyuan raised his hand casually, and responded lightly: "Pingsheng!"

Simple two words, the seemingly peaceful tone is full of alienation and majesty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up and thanked the gift sincerely and fearfully.

Under the guidance of Eunuch Fu, Xuanyuan came to the throne.On his left are the third prince and the queen mother.The empty seat on the right is reserved for the Queen.Next to the empress is Shui Guifei.After three years in the palace, it was the first time that Shui Rong'er sat with the emperor.I am full of joy.It's just that she is used to the "emperor" who only spends time with her in the dark, and always keeps a distance from her in front of people.Therefore, she stayed in her seat very honestly, and did not yearn for the empty seat beside her.

After the emperor took his seat, everyone followed suit.As the host, Xuanyuan put on a detached smile, raised his glass and said, "Today's banquet is mainly to wash away the dust for all the noble envoys of Xiping. So, let's respect the noble envoys of Xiping together for this first cup!"

Everyone stood up at the same time and toasted the envoy from the west.

Except for the children, the Xiping envoy and his party drank the first glass of wine toasted by the emperor himself.Then Prince Xiping, the leader of the Xiping envoys, got up and walked out.After bowing to the superior Xuanyuan and performing the etiquette of their country.He said sincerely: "I would like to thank His Majesty Jinghe for his hospitality! To show my determination to be good friends with Jinghe forever. Xiao Wang brought a big gift to His Majesty today. Please accept it with a smile!"
