On the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, the flower cake festival in the palace is held at noon, so that in the afternoon we can enjoy the scenery in the imperial garden together. If you win the favor of the emperor, you can also get the precious flowers in the imperial garden, and you can also use them to take a fancy.

It is an honor to make cakes out of flowers and take them back.

Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan had breakfast, played for a while, and then followed Mr. Tao into the palace. The emperor, queen mother, queen, etc. in the palace are the most noble people in the country. Even if the Flower Cake Festival is held in the palace, they are also

The ministers, the ministers and the concubines, the young masters and the young ladies of each family arrived early, and there were differences between the king and the minister.

Tao Taifu and Chu Wenqian will be separated from Chen Xiuyan soon after entering the palace. After all, there are differences between men and women. Women can go to the harem, but men cannot. Generally, aristocratic families pay great attention to the defense of men and women. Men and women cannot sit at the same table, let alone in the palace.

.

The secret guards of Prince Jin's Mansion are also not allowed to enter the palace. It is a taboo if they are discovered, so today Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan are not accompanied by secret guards. Chu Wenqian and Mr. Tao are together, but Chen Xiuyan only has Mu and Hongzhu.

Follow and serve.

"You won't eat anything in the palace as much as you can. However, you are proficient in medical skills and have Aunt Mu following you. There is no need to worry about food and spices. Just be careful, Empress Dowager Wei. She suffered a loss at the hands of King Taiping, so she can't

How about taking Princess Changshou, but she might cause trouble for you." Tao Lao sighed.

"I will be careful, don't worry, no matter what, I am also the Crown Princess of the Jin Palace. Even if the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with me, she can't beat me in front of so many people." Chen Xiuyan spoke to appease the two people, and waited until she saw someone

When the palace people approached, he stopped talking and just followed the palace people quietly.

"Madam, I know that palace servant." Mother Mu did not expect that the person who came to greet and lead the way was the little palace maid who had worked under her before.

"Qingya, I didn't expect it was you." Grandma Mu took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

"The Crown Princess." The seventeen or eighteen-year-old palace maid named Qingya first bowed down to Chen Xiuyan, and then looked at Aunt Mu, "I didn't expect that Aunt Mu has only been out of the palace for a year and a half, so she should obey it carefully.

But I forgot some rules. Before the master opens his mouth, it is the slave's turn to speak first."

Grandma Mu's face looked a little ugly at the moment. Although she knew the principle of people leaving tea to cool down, she didn't expect to be so ungrateful.

"I won't bother you. We, the people of the Jin Palace, have no rules. It's not your turn as a maid to comment on them." Chen Xiuyan said, "Just lead the way for us."

Hearing this, Qingya looked at Chen Xiuyan, then smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and Grandma Mu and Hongzhu followed half a step away.

Chen Xiuyan's eyes were a little cold. Of course, a little palace maid would not dare to use such an attitude. It seems that the problem that Mr. Tao was worried about before was a big problem. This Empress Dowager Wei is not easy to deal with. She wants to be the most powerful woman in the country.

There are many dead soldiers under Shi Zi, and now that he is on his territory, he is really under a lot of pressure.

Aunt Mu was also worried at the side. Sure enough, the women in the palace were surrounding a man, and their hands and eyes were all over the place. This was a bit of a demon. She didn't know what else was waiting for her wife.

Qingya led Chen Xiuyan to Renshou Palace. Madam Gaoming always went to Renshou Palace to pay tribute to the Queen Mother, and then had a banquet together. After the banquet was over, if the Queen Mother did not participate, the Queen Mother would lead many Madame Gaoming to visit the Imperial Garden.

, this is the unchanged process.

When Chen Xiuyan arrived, there were many people in the room, but there were still many empty seats. She arrived neither early nor late.

"The Crown Princess of Jin Dynasty has arrived." The father-in-law who announced the news started singing loudly when Chen Xiuyan and his party entered the courtyard.

Chen Xiuyan's smile remained unchanged, her steps were steady, and she slowly walked into the main hall of Renshou Palace. There were two rows of seats on the left and right of the hall. The main seat was on the middle step. There were several seats on both sides of the main seat. At this time, there were only left and right seats in the hall.

There were a few people sitting scattered on both sides wearing dresses of different grades.

However, there were some people I knew among them. The Duke's wife from Zheng Guogong's mansion, the prince's wife, and Rong Guogong's wife were also there. Princess Duan Ning was also sitting in the front seat. When they saw Chen Xiuyan coming in, they all smiled and nodded.

Chen Xiuyan returned the gift with a smile.

Under Qingya's guidance, Chen Xiuyan sat in the second seat on the left. The seat was very forward, and there was an empty seat on the right. Sitting next to her was Mrs. Rong Guogong, and opposite Mrs. Rong Guogong was Mrs. Zheng Guogong.

"Sister Xiuyan." Chen Xiuyan turned around and saw Princess Changshou. She was led by the palace maid to sit on the seat on her right.

The seats are arranged according to rank. The main seat must belong to the Queen Mother, and the rest should belong to the Queen and the concubines.

With Princess Changshou accompanying her, Chen Xiuyan was not bored at all. One and the other chatted with each other, obviously not separated much. It was just the palace where Princess Changshou came with Prince Taiping.

"Princess Lu has arrived."

The whole hall was silent for a moment because of this announcement. Chen Xiuyan also turned around in surprise and looked at why she hadn't heard that Princess Lu was in the capital before.

A slightly plump purple figure walked into the hall. Her face was beautiful. Even though there were some traces of time, she was generally much younger than her age. She looked like she was in her early thirties, but she was actually in her early forties.

Princess Lu sat on the left hand side of Chen Xiuyan, the first seat on the left.

"Isn't this Xi Muqin's daughter-in-law who comes from a rural background? Sure enough, people rely on their clothes. She dressed up in a stylish way. I didn't expect that she would be able to enter the palace. She is really lucky." King Lu said with a face.

She has a kind face and kind eyes, but her words are not. She is too sharp and intimidates Chen Xiuyan from the very beginning.

"Hello, Princess Lu. Concubine Lu is indeed right. Prince Lu and Princess Lu are very suitable for each other, and the title is very suitable for them." Chen Xiuyan replied with a smile, "Concubine Lu also said that Princess Lu is a nice person, but she has a sharp mouth.

Tofu heart, I can see today that it is really like this."

Before Chen Xiuyan came to Beijing, she received one-on-one training from Xi Muqin. Just kidding, all the forces in the capital gave her a detailed explanation. After explaining the capital, she also talked about the other titled princes, because King Jin and King Lu

Disagreement was the most talked about, and Chen Xiuyan still remembers it to this day.

The mother-in-law said that when meeting King Lu and his family, the people in the Jin Palace should show that they are not afraid of you. Of course, they should use stage words when talking outside, and the way of holding a cotton needle with a needle is the best. Chen Xiuyan felt that

My performance today was pretty good.

After Chen Xiuyan's words, there was silence in the palace again. Even Princess Lu glanced at Chen Xiuyan twice, and then sneered, "Xi Muqin really hasn't changed at all. The daughter-in-law who became a monk halfway has been trained to be like her. It seems that

The more than ten years of peace and separation are indeed fake. If you are so confident, that fake Xi Yuan will not have such good luck, tsk tsk."
