Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Yang Wanyun's birthday party has arrived.

Early in the morning, almost before I woke up from my dreams, I had heard the sound of busy outside. When I opened my eyes chaotically, all kinds of messy shadows flashed in front of me, making me feel a little stunned for a moment. It is not clear whether it is a dream or reality.

It took me a while before I reacted. It was the busy waitresses and waitresses passing by the corridor outside the house, and their shadows were cast on my window.

Cai Wei also came and served me to get up and freshen up, because today is a special day, and I specially chose a more luxurious one from those clothes that Ruta sent me. The neckline and cuffs have gold thread embroidery patterns, which looks extraordinarily delicate. I put it on my body and looked in the mirror. I didn't know why. I thought of the word monkey and crowned me unconsciously, and I laughed.

Cai Wei didn't notice what I was thinking about, and she specially combed me a special hair bun, and the curled up hair piled up like a cloud. Don't put two beads on it, exposing her long white snowy neck, slowly immersed. Speaking of the gorgeous collar, it was not so ugly than I expected.

Cai Wei, standing with my hand out, was using a rafter to curl up some of the tangled buns, and when my hair was completely fit, she stood behind me and didn't move.

A long while, she heard her say softly, "Madam, you are so beautiful."

I laughed suddenly, looking at her dull appearance reflected in the bronze mirror.

She also looked at me in the bronze mirror, perhaps because her hair was chic and the clothes were luxurious. Today, I am more glorious than usual, and she looked at me blankly, as if involuntarily said: "No wonder the son-in-law has always been--"

Immediately, my face faded.

She immediately realized what was happening, and hurriedly cut off the following words, saying, "Madam, sorry!"

I only glanced at her, but I didn't blame her, but my mood was a little heavy, and after a moment of silence, I said lightly, "It's okay. Go get some food, we used it earlier, you can use it again." Go out and see what's going on outside. "

Although Mrs. Hanyu said that she would make another arrangement for me, today, guests of Yangfu's Yingmen, I have no interest in revealing her identity and whereabouts, so it is better to let her go out to find out some of the situation.

Cai Wei was in a hurry and prepared me breakfast soon. Although Yang Fu was busy up and down for the grand banquet today, my affairs were not slack, and the breakfast was still very rich. Cai Wei accompany me for two bites, and I ca n’t wait to go out and listen to the news. When the news came back, I knew that after a long time, guests came one after another.

Yesterday, Yang Wanyun ’s two sons doing business in the field, Yang Yunyi and Yang Yuntao have returned to the capital. Now they and the official family are greeting guests at the door. I heard that the lobby is full of people. Did not go out, but also heard the noise of those people shivering from afar.

I asked, "What about Yang Jinyao?"

Cai Wei shook her head: "I haven't seen her go out yet."

"Oh ... who are the guests then?"

Cai Wei's memory is pretty good. Although she has never been to Beijing and is not familiar with those officials, she can remember the official titles of those guests who have been chanted by the doorkeeper by her own memory.

I listen, it seems that all those who are coming now are less important, all officials below the fifth grade.

Of course, the more important a person is, the more it will be delayed until the end.

When I was finished, and I sat silently on the couch, Cai Wei waited for a while, and asked me again, "Madam, shall I go out and watch?"

"You go. Come back later and tell me."

"Yes."

She went out diligently again.

Soon, she ran back and forth two or three times, and gradually, some high-ranking officials appeared among the guests.

Not long after she came back this time, our door was knocked. Opening the door and seeing it was a maid next to Mrs. Han Yu, who looked smart and capable, and said gentlely and docilely, Slaves are here to invite Miss Yan to dinner. "

I slowly got up from the couch and walked to the door: "The guests are here."

"Almost there."

"Then—has Master Wu Yanqiu, the Hushang Book arrived?"

"Mrs. also knows that the post was posted, but it is the guest's business if the guest does not come."

This is true.

At this point I had already reached the doorway, and twitched the cuffs gently, and then said, "Well then, take your way."

"Yes, Madam, please."

Cai Wei and I followed her and walked forward, but walking, I found that the way we walked was not the same as the usual way to the front hall. It seemed to go around a circle when we walked through those corridors. At that time, I could hear the laughter and laughter of the guests, and they were clearly legible, but they obviously didn't know that, just across the wall, I was walking slowly.

At the end of the corridor, there is a small arch bridge leading to a door in front. It looks like a dark door, which is very conspicuous, and as soon as I enter, the loud noises in the hall have completely surrounded me.

I am already in the hall.

The only difference is that in front of me, there are six screens that isolate me from all the guests outside the hall.

Inside the screen, there is a table and a chair on which there are already several dishes of cold meats, a pair of tableware and a jug of wine.

I snapped: "This is--"

"Ms. Yan, this is specially prepared by Mrs. Yan for Ms. Yan, and I hope that Ms. Don't disregard it here."

I didn't speak, but just stood quietly, but Cai Wei behind him whispered, "But this is not telling everyone, are there any guests in it?"

The maid smiled and didn't speak.

I turned my head, the screen was not completely isolated from the outside, and there were some hollow carvings on the screen, very delicate. I sat inside and could see everything outside, but the people outside, It may be possible to see a shadow in the screen, but it is absolutely impossible to see who is inside.

At this moment, through the hollow carvings, I saw the spacious hall outside. There were already dozens of tables for banquets. The table was covered with festive red cloths and the same cold dishes and bowls as the table in front of me. Chopsticks and fine wine. On both sides of the hall, six screens were placed in turn, but I heard melodious sounds coming from inside.

That turned out to be the case.

I will be completely invisible at this birthday party.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but convince Mrs. Hanyu's mind, and said to the maid with a smile, "It takes your wife to worry."

"Miss Yan, please don't say that. It's also possible for the Yang family to be able to have a big figure like Miss Yan attending the master's birthday party."

I laughed.

And just as the maid opened the chair, as I was about to sit down, I heard the master of ceremonies outside the door chanting loudly: "Shubu Shangshu, Lord Wu Yanqiu!"

My spirit was stunned, but the motion of sitting down suddenly became a sudden stand upright.

Not only me, but even the maid holding the back of the chair and Cai Wei who had been quietly watching outside shocked, and they held their breaths almost simultaneously.

As the chanting ceased, a familiar figure appeared in the sun outside the gate.

Immediately, some officials in the hall surrounded him.

I was just promoted to the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is naturally a hot spot. The discerning person knows what the emperor is reusing now. As soon as Wu Yanqiu appeared at the door, those officials had surrounded him, one by one, hesitated and laughed. affectionate. In this regard, Wu Yanqiu is much more old-fashioned than Liu Qinghan. With so many people surrounding him, he can treat himself well, instead of leaving him alone.

When the officials dispersed, Yang Wanyun took Mrs. Han Yu and Mrs. Yue Rong forward.

They are far away, and Yang Wanyun and Wu Yanqiu both seem to deliberately lower their voices. I can hardly hear what they are talking about, just looking at Wu Yanqiu ’s mouth, which is probably something like “Fu Ru Dong Shou Bi Nan Shan” Yang Wanyun and Mrs. Hanyu are both calm-hearted people. The courtesy is thoughtful. Only Mrs. Yue Rong probably took a sigh of relief, with a slightly displeased expression, and she was also perfunctory when saluting.

After Wu Yanqiu said one side, he asked the followers to come forward and present a congratulatory gift. It was a boss's box. Yang Wanyun hurriedly took it and gave it to the followers behind him. He walked to a seat in front of the hall and sat down.

The place where Wu Yanqiu sat down was close to the screen in front of me.

At this time, I can see him more clearly.

It's only been a few months that I haven't seen it. It's hard to see any changes in people. If we have to say the change, it is probably that he is more quiet than before. He wants to be in a high position in the government. He sat in that position, perfunctory a few officials who came to talk, then quietly began to look around.

Then he looked at the screen on my side.

His eyes stopped.

My heart jumped a little, but I didn't do anything. I just sat in my place so quietly and looked at him through the hollow carvings.

He looked for a while, but didn't seem to see anything, then turned his head again.

However, just as he turned his head, the noise in the hall suddenly quieted.

Because everyone saw a gorgeously dressed lady like a hibiscus walking up the hall. She was very young, pretty, and appeared in the hall as if all the sunlight was shining on her. Body.

Wu Yanqiu only glanced back, and immediately he became stiff.

Because she appeared in the lobby and attracted everyone's attention, it was Yang Jinyao!

I sat there quietly, looking at the surprised expression on Wu Yanqiu's face.
