Wake up and spit out fragrance, although it is not as colorful as summer, but it also makes all the officials and women's family members look at it with great interest.

Empress Cui in the front seemed to be in high spirits too. There were frequent chatter and laughter between her and several first-grade ladies, and the atmosphere seemed unusually harmonious, and the blooming Wei Zi had been moved into the Eight-tone Pavilion, the Eight-note Pavilion The surrounding area is open, which is suitable for people to gather around and enjoy the flowers.

Wei Zi is originally the king of peonies. This flowering Wei Zi grows very well, with thick and hard pedicels, a very high plant shape, half-opened, thick branches and lush leaves, and three large pink-white flowers. , the flowers are crown-shaped, the buds are oblate, and the petals are layered. Each flower is the size of a bowl, and there are several budding flower buds fluttering in the wind.

Now I can see this flower, ladies and gentlemen. A few more words of praise will save the Queen's face.

Under the leadership of Princess Duanning, a few bold noble ladies wrote a few flower appreciation poems one after another. Empress Cui was overjoyed, and even asked the maids to write them down and sent them to Chaoyun Palace to invite Xian Kangdi and all the ministers and princes. comment.

After enjoying the flowers, they set up the Chaofeng Palace again. The Chaofeng Palace and the Chaoyun Palace are integrated, and are connected by a vacated jade arch bridge in the middle. The past is not too far away.

Hui'an was about to go to Chaofeng Palace with everyone, but saw the father-in-law Yang, who was serving by the queen mother, rushing over, and said in a sharp voice.

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager heard that the Empress Dowager is going to entertain all the ladies and wives in the Chaofeng Palace, and the special servants brought two jars of aged chrysanthemum wine, please have a taste."

The queen hurriedly led the crowd to express their gratitude, then Eunuch Yang ordered the little eunuch to bring the wine, and then said: "The empress dowager is very happy today, and she is talking with Princess Jingmin, Mrs. Dingguo and other wives, and wants to call some The younger generation will go over and have fun, and ask the empress to make it easier for you."

The queen hurriedly said: "It's rare that the queen mother is happy today. It's not convenient for the queen mother to invite the girls to talk about it. You quickly lead them over, and don't make the queen mother wait for a long time."

It is such an honor to be summoned by the Empress Dowager, all the wives and young ladies heard the words, how could they not stare wide-eyed, already guessing in their hearts that they would only be the ladies of the Wen family who were summoned, and at most they would bring with them people from the Dingbei Palace. It's just the ladies from the families who are related by in-laws, but Eunuch Yang called Wen Jingyu, Wen Jingxin and Hui An to go over alone. When Hui An calmly followed Eunuch Yang out of the distance, he could still feel the eyes of all eyes on her. body sweep.

When I arrived at the queen mother's palace, I saw several Mrs. Heyan in court clothes sitting in the palace talking with the queen mother. After one glance, he didn't dare to look again, and bowed his head respectfully and stepped forward.

Princess Jingmin and Old Madam Guan were sitting together and talking about something, all three of them were smiling, but they were enjoying themselves happily, the three of Hui An respectfully kowtowed to welcome Ann, Empress Dowager Wen hurriedly asked the maid to general three The man got up and called to him.

Empress Dowager Wen wore a dark red palace dress with gold patterns today, she looked much better than before, she chatted with the three of them, and then said to Madam Dingguo and Princess Jingmin.

"Today is a rare event in the palace. It's also rare for us old people to get together. We have to go to join in the fun. Let's go ahead?"

After speaking, the Queen Mother helped Eunuch Yang's hand to stand up, and Princess Tai and Mrs. Dingguo also stood up with smiles.All the wives below got up and followed each other, and responded one after another.

Before Hui'an entered the palace, Aunt Liu revealed that the Empress Dowager would attend the palace banquet. Nanny Fang also sent a letter to the mansion after arriving at Qixia Temple, saying that Aunt Liu had arrived at the temple and that the Empress Dowager was in much better health. , Hui'an was sure that the Queen Mother would definitely attend the palace banquet.

Hui An hurriedly smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Master Hou was joking with the little girl that day, besides, the little girl has avenged herself, and she hasn't asked the princess for her crimes yet, so I don't dare to ask the princess to make decisions for the little girl."

Princess Jingmin laughed loudly when she heard the words, patted Hui'an's hand, and said: "This palace has heard about it, and it's true that you are a smart person who can make my Qing'er suffer a loss and never make trouble for you. "

This is the second time Princess Jingmin has praised her for being smart!There were quite a few voices from Princess Tai, and the few people were already at the front, and immediately Huian felt a lot of scrutinizing eyes from behind, and even Wen Jingyu, who was in front of her, couldn't help turning her head to look at Hui'an in surprise when she heard the words.

When Hui An followed Princess Jingmin and his party to Chaofeng Hall, the hall was filled with laughter and laughter. From a distance, Hui An looked at the red carpet in the hall, spreading from the hall to the arched jade bridge connected to Chaoyun Hall. , and then spread to Chaoyun Hall, all the way is hung with colorful satin red balls made of red silk, full of festive atmosphere.

Hui'an supported Princess Jingmintai's hand, and walked up the hall steps along the all-red carpet, but saw that there were hundreds of low seats on the left and right sides of the spacious hall, and the seats were already full of people, only the few seats at the front were seated. The table was still empty, but it was set up for several old matriarchs who went behind her to pay their respects to the empress dowager.

Sitting vaguely on the high platform were several concubines with high temples and luxurious clothes, and the one sitting behind the long table in the middle was Empress Cui in a red palace attire.
