Zhan Beihan here, there is a side hall dedicated to him, which has its own hot springs and bedrooms.
"Miss Xiao" was brought into a trap when he ran into the side hall of Ganquan Palace and was bathing in the side hall of Ganquan Palace, which ruined his reputation, which led to the marriage of Emperor Zhaoming.
However, today, the main venue of the banquet is not in the main hall or the side hall, but on a large water pavilion.
The so-called water pavilion is actually a large water pavilion.
Located on the water surface, the overall structure is wooden, with beautiful and unique shapes, sharp corners and flying veils, surrounded by water on all sides, without barriers from walls, and has a very wide view. It is a good place to enjoy the cool air in summer.
But it's winter now.
When Xiao Lingyue walked into the water pavilion, she saw that the four sides were wrapped in silk, lit a stove and incense, which was as warm as spring.
The waterfront is very lively, with red carpets spreading on the seats, with fruits and snacks available, and the fragrance of tea lingering. The ladies, daughters and young men who came in before have all sat down.
Several main seats were set up in the main seats, with different seats for men and women, and a large open space was empty in the middle, covered with a festive and red soft carpet.
Xiao Lingyue and Chu Yuanqi separated and, under the guidance of the palace maid, sat in their own position.
The female mat that Xiao Lingyue sat in was in a bad position. When the noble ladies and daughters around him saw her coming, they calmed down for a while. Soon they thought they didn't see it, and smiled and talked to the people next to them.
No one took the initiative to say hello to Xiao Lingyue, as if he was isolated intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Lingyue was too lazy to pay attention to others, and just felt quiet.
After sitting down, the palace maid quickly served tea and snacks, and she sat on the seat with her chin, lowering her eyes coldly.
This atmosphere didn't last long.
Soon, a message came from outside the water pavilion. King Xiang, King Cheng and other princes arrived, followed by the Eighth Princess, Thirteenth Princess and others.
The originally slightly empty water pavilion suddenly became more lively.
Many young men and brothers stood up one after another and greeted King Xiang and others. The noble ladies and daughters were not idle either. They walked towards the princesses with smiles, especially the Thirteenth Princess, who were almost surrounded by enthusiastic wives.
Xiao Lingyue did not go up to join in the fun. She sat in the seat and looked at the princes and daughters quietly.
Concubine Shu had two sons and one daughter, and she was the concubine who gave birth to the most in the harem.
King Xiang is her eldest son, ranking second.
The second is the ninth prince, who is the same age as the eighth princess, and is still studying in the imperial study room and has not yet been named the king.
The Thirteenth Princess is the youngest daughter of Concubine Shu and is deeply loved.
Apart from these three, among the remaining princes and princesses, Xiao Lingyue only knew one, Cheng Wang and the other eighth princess, and was not very familiar with the others.
Because of Concubine Shu’s identity, it was not just the prince and the princess who came to celebrate their birthday today.
There are four or five young princes.
The oldest looks like he is seven or eight years old, and the youngest is only three or four years old. He is Han Han’s cousin in his identities.
Xiao Lingyue couldn't help but take a look.
In fact, there is not only Han Han, the royal family of Northern Qin, but except for him, the other royal grandsons are all born in illegitimate children, not even a single child. They are too young and rarely show up. This is the first time Xiao Lingyue
See.
However, she felt a little disappointed when she saw this.
These young princesses looked different from Han Han at first sight. They were all in a regular and straight manner, without the vitality of children, and even their smiles were carved out like a mold.
No wonder she had never heard Han Han mention that he had any friends in the palace, and it seemed that both sides could not play together.
Xiao Lingyue quickly withdrew her gaze.
Not long.
A sound came from outside.
Emperor Zhaoming and Concubine Shu arrived together.
