Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 93
In the palace, the lights are bright.

Since the current Holy Majesty ascended the throne, the palace has become much more lively.

Every palace is decorated with lights and festoons, and even in the remote cold palace, a delicious meal is rewarded.

The Zhenghua Hall, after the next imperial court, did not become quiet as usual, but became even more lively and noisy.

Because His Majesty will receive civil and military officials, princes and generals here today.

All the singers and dancers in Yunyue Square also walked out of the square, and really saw the largest and most magnificent palace of the Great Wu Dynasty.

Outside the Zhenghua Hall, steps made of white jade go up the stairs, setting off the palace like a fairy peak in the clouds.

Ninety steps, divided into three floors, the wide steps are three meters wide, and small but imposing dragon and phoenix carvings stand on the white jade pillars on both sides.

Three royal roads extend out from the three-story hall foundation, and now there are lampposts erected one after another, and the bright red lanterns come into view, full of joy.

Numerous eunuchs and maids shuttled inside and outside Zhenghua Hall, but there was no clutter.

Ding Jiayi followed the people of Yunyuefang into the avenue outside the palace, looked at the surrounding scenery of the palace, but couldn't help sighing in his heart.

At this time, it was the end of Shenshi, and the sky had begun to darken. Lamps were lit around the Zhenghua Hall, illuminating the entire sky.

Civil and military officials have long been waiting outside the palace gate, waiting to pay homage to the Holy Majesty.

Today, the gate of the imperial palace is wide open, and luxurious or simple carriages and soft sedan chairs form a long queue, making it impossible to see the edge at a glance.

Ding Jiayi and others were arranged in a side hall, waiting for the performance time.

As one of the eight workshops in the imperial palace, Yunyuefang's status is definitely not low. Today, the workshop owner Ling Xiao led the team, and Wen Yan, Dong Qin and other stewards also followed.

The sky gradually became darker, and the officials who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time finally began to enter the Zhenghua Hall.

The bustle of people outside seemed far away to Ding Jiayi.

She sat quietly in the corner, with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.

For everyone in Yunyuefang, the importance of the Longevity Festival is self-evident. Even Huanyue is secretly nervous. No one in the side hall speaks, and the sound of a needle falling can be heard quietly.

Finally, a waiter rushed in and said a few words to the owner.The owner of the workshop immediately stood up, flicked the purple palace attire, and looked calm and peaceful.

"Huanyue, get ready to play!"

Huanyue stood up abruptly, took a deep breath, saluted the owner, and walked out with a group of dancers.

As the No.1 of Yunyuefang, she is naturally in charge of the opening performance.

Ding Jiayi, who had been silent all this time, raised his head when he heard the movement, looked at the group of excited and nervous people, and said nothing.

Hundreds of them came, but not all of them could appear.

"At this moment, the imperial banquet should start, right?"

Ding Jiayi thought about it, and turned his eyes leisurely, looking towards the direction outside the palace gate.

As palace people, they are naturally not qualified to enter the Zhenghua Palace, only today's situation is an exception.

Ding Jiayi was not anxious, she quietly waited for her chance.

After a while, a group of maids came in with tea and snacks. After waiting for a long time, everyone was thirsty and hungry, but in this side hall, who can relax to eat and drink?
A plate of delicate plum cake was placed in front of Ding Jiayi.

"Please use."

A very soft voice fell into my ears.

Ding Jiayi raised his head and saw a court lady in yellow clothes. This court lady looked very ordinary, and there was nothing special about her face. It was just the smile on her face that made Ding Jiayi's heart skip a beat.

The maid didn't say much, and quickly retreated.

Ding Jiayi looked at the plum cake on the table, picked up a piece, broke it, and put it in his mouth.

At the same time, with a movement of her left hand, she took a small ball of paper into her palm.

Swallowing the pastry in her mouth, Ding Jiayi drank a cup of tea calmly, and after a while, she excused herself and left the side hall.

Opening the note in the palm of his hand, Ding Jiayi was not surprised to see the familiar handwriting.

There was only one sentence written on it, but it made Ding Jiayi very puzzled.

"It's so dangerous to send a message, just to tell me this sentence? What is that guy thinking?"

Ding Jiayi stamped her feet in annoyance.

Looking around, seeing that no one noticed her, Ding Jiayi carefully tore up the note and buried it in the potting soil beside her, then Shi Shiran walked back to the side hall.

Not long after, Na Huanyue and the others came back with joy on their faces, and told everyone about the lively scene in Zhenghua Hall.

After listening to what they said, Fangzhu finally lost his heart.

"Fortunately, there is nothing wrong. Since His Majesty said that there is a reward, the reward will definitely come when you go back, so you can rest assured!"

With a rare joke, Fangzhu Ling Xiao showed his first smile of the day.

The task of Yunyuefang today is actually not heavy, there are only three performances.After all, besides Yunyuefang, other officials and ministers, princes' mansions, and princes and princesses will also perform for His Majesty.

Strictly speaking, the most important duties of Yunyuefang are the opening and closing performances.

Now that the opening has been successfully completed, this task can be regarded as half completed.

And because of this, the tense atmosphere in the side hall was also swept away, and it became cheerful.

At this moment, a figure quietly left the side hall while everyone was not paying attention.

She came to the corner of the imperial road between the side hall and the main hall, stood on tiptoe and waited for a while, and a man dressed as a eunuch walked over quickly.

"Why did you come here?" The woman complained in a low voice.

The other party hurriedly apologized, explained a few words, and then took out something from his arms.

"This is how I managed to get you while godfather wasn't paying attention, so don't tell anyone else!" After carefully admonishing, the little eunuch quickly returned to the main hall.

And the woman hid the bag and sneaked back to the side hall.

In this short period of time, no one noticed that she had left for a moment just now.

"Okay, everyone be quiet! It's still early, and this imperial banquet may last for several hours, you all have something to eat."

As soon as Fangzhu opened his mouth, everyone dared not speak up, and returned to their positions one after another.

And at this time, Wen Yan came to her side, holding a cup of hot tea.

"Fangzhu, you can also drink some tea and rest."

Fangzhu nodded without any doubt, took the cup of tea and put it to his lips.

Seeing her drink a cup of tea, Wen Yan smiled.

Another half an hour passed, and everyone was a little tired from waiting, so they had to cheer up.

At this moment, there was a "boom" sound in the side hall, which startled the tired people.

Ding Jiayi looked towards the source of the sound, and was surprised to find that the owner of the workshop fell down on the chair at some point, with his eyes closed.

"what happened?"

"Master?"

Several stewards nearby hurried over, trying to wake her up, but they couldn't.

Wen Yan's face was solemn, and Dong Qin and Yan Lan beside him were also frightened and worried.

"Call someone!"

As soon as Wen Yan yelled, someone immediately reacted and ran out of the hall in a hurry.

Soon, several court ladies ran in in a panic, and when they saw Ling Xiao who was unconscious, their faces turned pale.

"Go and call the imperial physician!"

"What about the people in the hospital?"

A court lady managed to pull herself together, and when she heard everyone's questioning, she hastily explained: "Several adults from the Imperial Hospital are currently in the main hall, without orders from above, how dare we go to find someone?"

The court lady also stomped her feet anxiously.

The faces of several stewards became even more ugly. Because today is the Longevity Day, the whole palace took action.The Tai Hospital is the top priority, and it must have been arranged long ago not to tamper with.

Normally, in their names, it would not be difficult to go to the Imperial Hospital to call someone over, but at this juncture...

Wen Yan regained his expression the fastest, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and looked at the few palace ladies.

"Fangzhu must have eaten the food you sent to him. Before the matter is clear, you all stay here, and no one wants to go out!"

Wen Yan is a sixth-rank female official, and he scolded those court ladies with great dignity, making them dare not refute or move.

At this time, Yan Lan said with a worried expression on her face: "I don't think Fangzhu is in danger of life, but I don't know when she will wake up..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a shrill voice suddenly came from the door of the hall.

"Where is the owner of Yunyue Fang? The outside performance is almost over, you guys get ready and come out after a cup of tea."
