This is a large flower hall with lattice wooden doors on all sides. When you push them open, you can see the scenery in all directions. This flower hall is built on a pond, with four pavilions on the four sides connected by curved bridges. Passing through the pavilions is the main entrance.
The winding bridge towards the shore.
The banquet will mainly take place in the flower hall and the four surrounding pavilions. Many carefully maintained flowers and plants will be placed on both sides of the curved bridge, and the open space around the pond is filled with many varieties that cannot be planted in flower pots.
Yan Qingzheng frowned slightly when she saw the pond. The railings of the curved bridge were very short, and it was easy to fall if not careful. She checked and found that the pond was not deep, but it could still drown people who did not know how to swim.
Naturally, the people serving at the banquet were palace maids, but there were still many eunuchs and guards outside. If someone fell into the water, the only ones who would go into the water to save him would be the guards.
These are relatively old-fashioned tricks, but the more old-fashioned they are, the more effective they are.
Drugging, pushing into the water, getting wet to change clothes... She had heard and seen these tricks to frame women, but Xuanmen's methods were more direct.
Anyway, just don’t leave Sixth Sister’s side when the time comes.
After observing the terrain, knowing the nearby toilets, tea rooms and the roads leading to various palaces, she was ready to leave.
At this time, she heard someone talking, and her heart moved. The person who came to the Royal Garden in the middle of the night must have ulterior motives.
She gently climbed up on the eaves of Baihua Hall and waited quietly.
Two palace maids walked over the curved bridge.
They hurriedly entered the Baihua Hall. Before closing the door, they looked around to make sure no one was following them and then closed the door.
Yan Qing was turning over from the double-eaves window of the Baihua Hall when he saw two palace maids quietly hiding something in their arms in a vase in the flower hall. The two hid the things separately, nodded, and quickly
Withdrew.
When they walked away, Yan Qing took out the two items and looked at them separately. They turned out to be laxatives.
But it is not the cheap stuff on the market. This high-end medicinal powder can be said to be colorless and odorless when sprinkled into tea.
By hiding it so carefully in advance, it seems that either the person who did it will not be able to get in when the time comes, or the person who did it is taking measures to avoid accidents.
The purpose of using laxatives must be to make a girl go to the toilet, either to get rid of her or to make her look embarrassed...
Yan Qingzheng went to look at the surrounding toilets again, and sure enough he found that the wooden door of a toilet had been tampered with and seemed to be crumbling.
This is a bit cruel...
It was embarrassing enough for an innocent girl to attend the concubine's flower-viewing party, but she ended up with diarrhea, and then the toilet door suddenly fell...
The fantasy picture was too cruel. Yan Qing was shaking his head and sighing. He really didn't know how much hatred he had to frame a certain woman like this. It was best not to let her know that this was prepared for Sixth Sister, otherwise she would let her know something.
It's called shooting yourself in the foot!
After the survey was completed, she was about to go back, but suddenly she looked in the direction of the Prince's East Palace.
In her mind, the hateful boy had grown into a young man. She had only met him briefly a few days ago, but she still didn't have a good impression.
I don’t know how someone like him could make countless girls in the capital so crazy... Or should I say, the status of the prince is too coveted.
By some strange coincidence, Yan Qingzheng went to the East Palace.
The prince is taking a bath...
This was a bit embarrassing, so Yan Qingzheng had no choice but to sit down on top of the palace opposite the prince's bedroom.
Does the prince always go to bed so late? Don’t mortals need a lot of time to sleep every day to replenish their physical strength and energy?
Later, the prince finally returned to his dormitory in his middle coat, and Yan Qingzheng landed lightly on the roof of his dormitory.
The guards on both sides of the white marble steps outside the door couldn't find her because she cast a small invisibility spell.
After the prince took a bath, he read for a while before going to bed, and then fell asleep.
Yan Qingzheng observed that the maids in the East Palace were very well-behaved. After serving the prince, they quietly left. There were no personal attendants, and the ones who kept vigil were two eunuchs.
There was nothing worth exploring in the East Palace, so Yan Qing left as he did not follow the habit of a man.
On the day of the banquet, the sixth lady came to Yan Qingzheng's courtyard early in the morning, where she changed her clothes and got dressed up. The two sisters put on their curtains and hats and directly spoke to their families before taking a carriage to the palace.
Miss Six brought two maids, named Ruxin and Ruyi respectively. Yan Qing was wearing Yun'er and Jing'er.
"I don't know what will happen when I enter the palace. If I let you follow me, you two should pay more attention to protecting my sixth sister. Do you hear me?" On the carriage, Yan Qing was giving instructions to the two maids.
"Seventh sister, no need, I have Ruxin and Ruyi with me."
"Sixth sister, Yun'er and Jing'er are very skilled in martial arts. You should listen to me on this."
"how about you?"
"Me?" Yan Qing smiled: "My sister is capable enough to protect herself."
The carriage was swaying, and Yan Shuangyu folded her hands nervously, her palms sweating. She kept looking at the window of the carriage. Although the curtains were hung to block the view outside, the bustling crowd and the cries of the vendors still made her laugh.
Her heart itched.
"Sixth Sister, if you want to look outside, feel free to do so."
"No, now all the ladies in the city are on the same street, I can't..."
"It's okay, my sister will cast a little spell, and they won't be able to see the curtain of our carriage open."
"Really?" Yan Shuangyu's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but lean forward.
"Of course."
Yan Qing was reaching out to lift the curtain, and Yan Shuangyu looked outside nervously. Several people passed by the carriage, but they all turned a blind eye to her. It seemed that they really couldn't see her.
She was very happy and moved forward, looking at the street outside with her eyes brighter than ever before.
After a while, she pulled back.
"What's wrong?"
"It should be here."
The carriage slowed down and it took a long time to move.
Arriving in front of the palace gate, the two sisters were asked to get out of the car and walk into the palace.
Fortunately, a sedan chair was prepared inside the palace gate, otherwise so many delicate ladies would not have been able to walk such a long distance.
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, a female official in the palace asked each of the ladies to bring only one maid into the banquet hall.
Yan Qingzheng decided to let Yun'er follow Yan Shuangyu. She was the first of the four maids, the most steady and careful, and the best in martial arts. Yan Shuangyu had no objection. She knew that it would be safer to listen to Yan Qingzheng.
Not long after entering the Imperial Garden, when passing a rockery, Yan Qing gave Yan Shuangyu a pill while the palace maid who was leading the way turned around.
Yan Shuangyu looked at her in confusion, and she whispered: "Prevent some trouble."
Yan Shuangyu swallowed it quietly without hesitation.
Yan Qing was deeply moved by Miss Six's trust in him, and was determined to protect her.
Along the way, the two sisters had received too much attention, and now the palace maid who led them took them to the edge of the curved bridge and announced their names, and the surroundings were immediately silent.
Everyone looked at the two sisters.
Suddenly there was a sound of breathing...
The two sisters are so dazzling!
Yan Shuangyu wore a goose-yellow fairy skirt, and Yan Qingzheng wore an aqua blue fairy skirt. Both the material and the style were very different from those of the ladies present today, so they were really eye-catching.
Yan Shuangyu rarely faced such a moment of public attention, and her breathing immediately became rapid. Fortunately, Yan Qing took her hand in time. The warm heat passed over and gave her a lot of courage. She was already a little shrinking.
His body gradually straightened up.
She was Yan Shuangyu. No matter what the Imperial Master's assertion was, she asked herself that she had never done anything wrong, so why should she live such a humble life just for other people's words?
Soon, the second-grade female officer next to the concubine came to greet them.
"Miss Yan, the concubine please go to the hall and take a rest."
"Then please ask my aunt to lead the way." The two of them said politely to the female officer.
The female officer respectfully led the way, and everyone was silent wherever she passed. After that, they started whispering and talking.
Yan Qing, who has a sharp ear and eyesight, saw several young ladies focusing their disdainful, puzzled, and embarrassed eyes on his sisters.
"Why have they entered the Baihua Hall since then? They don't have any outstanding talents..."
"That's enough, both of them will enter the Baihua Hall..."
"These two young ladies from the Yan family are really..."
Yan Qingzheng turned a deaf ear.
These people who only dared to talk behind their backs were definitely not really scary people. She wanted to take a closer look today to see who would use the things prepared by the two palace maids, and who would be their target!
There were only a few people sitting in the flower hall, and among them was Feng Daier.
She had met Yan Shuangyu more than once, but she was always very casual at home. When she saw Yan Shuangyu dressed up for the first time, a trace of jealousy flashed in Feng Daier's eyes, and then disappeared.
She was the only one who knew Yan Shuangyu, so she stood up and greeted him.
"Shuang'er, I couldn't believe it when I heard that you were coming, but you are actually here!" Feng Daier smiled beautifully.
"I insisted on coming to meet all the ladies in the capital, so I forced my sixth sister to come with me." Yan Qing interrupted.
Feng Daier looked at Yan Qingzheng in surprise, her eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.
Yan Qing is not necessarily more beautiful than Yan Shuangyu, but as a disciple of Xuanmen who is most likely to cultivate immortality, she has a more ethereal fairy spirit than a mortal, giving her a mysterious sense of beauty. This is no matter how beautiful the makeup is.
and clothes cannot be given.
"This is..." Feng Daier asked knowingly.
"This is my seventh sister." Yan Shuangyu introduced simply.
Because Yan Qingzheng was already engaged to Prince Xuan, and it was well known that she was not greeted with dagger-like eyes by the other girls. Instead, Prince Xuan had been furious because someone had spread rumors about her and remained respectful. No matter what, she was
Princess Xuan is a quasi-princess, and no one is willing to offend her.
"Is it the seventh girl? Come here quickly, I am so happy that you sisters can come!" The concubine had already seen the two of them on the throne and was waving to them.
Yan Shuangyu took a deep breath and glanced at Yan Qingzheng. The two sisters walked towards the concubine hand in hand.
