Chapter 22: Blind Date and Hunting

Late dusk, Huihe Palace.

Concubine Wen was lying on the beauty's couch, with wisps of cool wind blowing behind her. Two handsome maids were carefully squeezing her legs and shoulders.

Hearing the maid talking about Fengqi Palace, Concubine Wen opened her eyes, stretched out her arms and was helped to sit up. She straightened her clothes and asked casually, "The little empress is so precious to that studio, can you take a chance to see it?"

What?"

"Liu Yue said that there are many paintings in the studio, and they are specially framed and hung up. They are very precious." The maid said respectfully, "But those paintings are all covered with white cloth, said to be dust-proof, and they are mysterious.

I don’t even know what the painting is.”

"The little queen's secret, that's interesting." Concubine Wen played with the gemstone bracelet on her wrist, her temperament was still as gentle and elegant, but there was a coldness in her eyes.

"Your Majesty." The personal maid heard this and asked softly, "Do you want to send someone to sneak into the studio to take a look?"

"There's no rush." ​​Concubine Wen smiled lightly, "Let's wait for the exhibition to start."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A palace attendant hurriedly walked into the palace, "Liuyue was pulled out, and there were four maids and three palace servants, all of whom were pulled out of Fengqi Palace."

"Fengqi Palace has hidden so many informants?" The personal maid was extremely surprised, but she saw that Concubine Wen was not surprised at all and acted solemnly and elegantly.

"Everyone is flocking to the Phoenix position. This number is normal."

Concubine Wen didn't care much, she picked up the herbal tea and took a sip, a dark light flashed in her eyes, "It's just one afternoon, Feng Qigong can pull out all these eyes quickly and hard, which makes me

Amazing."

"Yueya, how about we lay off more people?"

In Fengqi Palace, Jiang Jiang sat on a small bench after taking a shower, obediently letting Yue Yao wipe her wet hair, and began to think, "Look, throwing people out will reduce the number of spies and reduce wages.

"

"Don't worry, Madam, this Fengqi Palace is still clean, and the moon silver is also issued by His Majesty, so you don't have to worry."

Crescent Moon said, pulling back the little queen's nightgown that slipped off her shoulders, and couldn't help but say, "My Lady, you'd better change back into the nightgown that my slave made for you."

This nightgown is okay, but the suspender nightgown has so little fabric that it's hard to look at it, and the strings on the shoulders feel like they'll break at any time.

"... Yueya, these are normal nightgowns and nightgowns." Jiang Jiang rolled her eyes and protested, "Can you please stop talking about it like an oversized nightgown?"

"It's summer. If I wear such tight clothes, I'll die from the heat." She now wishes she could soak in the water every day and become a mermaid.

Oh, the mermaid is overthinking, being a fish is not bad.

With her hair half dry, Jiang Jiang couldn't help but yawned, and then she threw herself on the bed. Yue Ya was about to blow out the lamp when she saw the little queen struggling to hold herself up in a daze, "Yue Ya, remember to help me during the painting exhibition."

I’ll buy a bundle of storybooks.”

On the day of the art exhibition, Jiang Jiang woke up early, took a look at the weather outside, and withdrew her head with satisfaction.

It's a cloudy day and there's no sun~~ I'm happy.

"The sky is gloomy today, maybe it will rain in the evening." Yue Ya checked Jiang Jiang's appearance, took a pair of earrings and put them on her, "It hasn't rained since the beginning of summer. I don't know how hard it will rain and how long it will last.

.”

Jiang Jiang lived in a prosperous era when he had no worries about food and drink, so he was curious about this, "How are the crops this year?"

"Compared to before, it's pretty good." Yue Ya smiled lightly and lowered her eyes, "There was a severe drought in the past few years, the harvest was not good, and the Qin State also frequently provoked."

"It rained later, but the floods caused natural disasters, many people died, and there was also plague."

Yue Ya stretched out her hand to straighten the phoenix crown on Jiang Jiang's head, and there was a deep meaning in her eyes, as if she was sighing, "But this year, the weather in my country is going well, and the Qin State has also made peace. In a few days, the envoy will arrive with the Qin State's hostage."

Shengjing is here."

"This is good luck." Jiang Jiang said with a smile, then she covered her stomach and looked at the crescent moon eagerly, "I'm hungry."

Yue Ya smiled and said, "Breakfast is ready."

At noon, the art exhibition started. Jiang Jiang had no experience in being a host, so she asked the palace people to send a message, saying that the start would be postponed for half a quarter of an hour. Then she held a small bag of snacks, carefully hid in the corner and activated the barrage mode.

Oh, that Miss Qingshang smiles so sweetly...

That young man in red is such a coquettish guy. He has flirted with so many girls at this moment, and he has changed his target again.

This little brother in black robe has an expressionless face and looks like a evil spirit. He is also holding a sword... ahem, he turns out to be a guard.

Ahhhh, how old is that little sister? Why did she come here for a blind date! That slutty young man, don’t go there, stop! Don’t flirt with the little sister!

"Empress." Yue Ya raised her hand and pressed down the particularly dishonest little queen who was hiding in the corner of the high hall, "Don't move around, you will be exposed."

The little queen said she was afraid that if she went in, the children of the aristocratic family would be too reserved to chat, and the blind date party would not be able to achieve its purpose. She had to hide and watch the show, and Yue Ya could only indulge her.

However, it is true that they are all of the same generation, and Huale Hall is very warm and comfortable.

At this time, beside a case, Jiang He was surrounded by several noble ladies. One of them asked curiously, "Sister Jiang, why hasn't the Queen come yet? Why don't you let someone go and take a look?"

"Yes, it seems that it's almost half a quarter of an hour, and the queen still hasn't appeared, but what happened?"

"Is it possible that His Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to come, and the Queen is trying to think of a way?" A noble girl in a light blue dress whispered, and then attracted everyone's attention. They frowned, thinking that this was reasonable.

They were just trying to hook up with His Highness the Crown Prince, and they were just laughing their heads off.

A flash of ridicule flashed across Jiang He's eyes, and he couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he was really right?

"It's not half an hour yet, so don't rush." ​​Jiang He smiled softly and comforted her, but couldn't help but look at the palace door. The hand holding the embroidered handkerchief tightly exposed her uneasy heart.

Jiang Jiang had a personal feud with the prince, but the prince regretted it after agreeing, so it is not impossible to take revenge on Jiang Jiang.

But if the prince doesn't show up then, wouldn't her efforts be in vain? This Jiang Jiang really grew up in the mountains and wilds, is useless at all, and is a waste!

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly the palace attendants sang and shouted.

"Welcome to His Majesty the Crown Prince——"

Everyone's talking and laughing suddenly stopped, and then they all saluted, and Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Jiang resisted the urge to stamp her feet in excitement, "Coming, coming, coming!" The highlight is coming!

Yan Huaishu was as usual, wearing an auspicious cloud brocade robe with an ink base and gold edges. His handsome face was expressionless, and he had a cold and rigorous aura. The strong sense of oppression made people feel awe.

His deep eyes casually scanned the people in the palace, walked up to the high hall and took a seat, waving his hand to summon a maid, "Where are the queen and the ladies?"

"Back to Your Highness, the Queen is delayed for a quarter of an hour because of something to do. The ladies felt it was stuffy and hot, so they told the Queen to come back when they can appreciate the paintings and compare them."

Yan Huaishu frowned slightly when he heard this. What is the little queen doing? "Changling, go to Fengqi Palace and take a look."

At this time, Jiang Jiang, who had carefully moved behind the palace pillar beside Yan Huaishu, curled her lips when she heard this, and her eyes signaled Yue Ya to go back and deal with it.

Then he took out a handful of dried meat and chewed it deliciously.

Best viewing location, awesome!

Yan Huaishu was not idle either. He asked Nanling to come forward and asked in a deep voice, "On the seventh or eighth day, the Qin envoy will come to Beijing. Can the seventh prince be found out?"

Nanling also lowered his voice and said, "Back to Your Highness, the seventh prince's mother-in-law is the daughter of the prime minister. However, in the spring, the prime minister was imprisoned for corruption and was executed by the whole family. The status of the concubine Shu plummeted and she was demoted to the cold palace.

"

"The seventh prince, Qin Fuhua, was originally proud of Lieyang and was ready to join the court as an official. Now he can only serve as a hostage and send it to Dayan."

Yan Huaishu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, "Check again."

As soon as Nanling took the order, he felt a shadow falling nearby, and when he looked up, he saw a delicate face.

Jiang He seemed a little nervous. He glanced back below and saw the group of noble ladies telling her not to be timid. He turned back and smiled shyly at Yan Huaishu, "Your Highness, I heard that you are brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and you are always on target when riding and shooting."

, Excellent, Jiang He thought..."

Her cheeks were red, she was extremely shy, and there was unconcealable admiration in her eyes, "Jiang He would like to invite His Highness to participate in the riding and hunting in ten days. All the nobles in the capital are here. I wonder if Your Highness can agree?"

The aristocratic family in Beijing is one of the foundations for the prince to stand firm in the court. Using this as a bargaining chip, riding a hunter is definitely a good opportunity to win over, and the prince will definitely be tempted.
