imperial concubine

Chapter 70
The sun is shining brightly, and today is the day of the Grand Sutra Banquet in the palace.Early in the morning, the Hou's mansion became lively, and the servants inside and outside were busy preparing clothes and cars for the young master to attend the sutra feast.

Every servant has a proud look on his face. His young master can give a lecture on the sutra feast at such a young age, even he is also honored. The rod can also be quite straight.

In contrast, Su Wan's courtyard was much quieter.Although Su Wan is going to the Jingyan today, she is only attending.Su Lin is a person who advances in teaching, so his status is naturally not the same.

Not long after, Su Lin left the Hou Mansion in a carriage.Although Su Wan, Su Qing and Su Yue all had to go to the banquet, but Su Lin was the one who was going to give lectures, so he had to go to the palace first to prepare all the utensils.The other three are just present, so they can relax a bit.

According to the plan made yesterday, Su Wan's dress today is extremely simple and elegant. She is wearing a taupe-colored gown with pinched teeth, a skirt with Ruyi pattern that drags the floor, and an antique satin with a light gold background.The whole person is as fresh and refined as a lotus flower.

There are clusters of red gold bracelets inserted in the lightly gathered temples, and the shiny black hair is tied into a fragrant bun. She walked slowly into the front hall and bowed slowly to the lady sitting in the hall, "Wan'er I met my mother."

The eldest lady looked at Su Wan carefully, and then saw the tourmaline bracelet on Su Wan's wrist with both eyes. She was determined in her heart, knowing that Su Wan did not believe in Buddhism. Wearing the bracelet must be a hint to herself that today she will keep her own life and will not be in the world. Make trouble in such a big matter.

So the lady smiled and said: "Wan'er, get up. I've been busy with Lin'er's talk recently, but I rarely care about you. I don't know how you are doing these days? If there is any inconvenience, just tell me directly." .”

Hearing Da Furen's words, Su Wan knew in her heart that Da Furen must have seen the bracelet she deliberately wore on her hand and understood what she meant, that's why she asked her warmly like this, and even revealed a bit of self-blame in her words.

Su Wan, who was sitting under the eldest lady, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother, for your concern. It is a big deal for Su Lin to speak up, and it is reasonable for mother to put more emphasis on it. What's more, those women have been very good lately. , don’t worry about mother.”

The two smiled hypocritically in the living room.Not long after, Su Qing and Su Yue also came to the front hall.Seeing that all the people had arrived, the eldest lady restrained her smile and told Su Wan, "This time when you enter the palace, you must take care of your younger brothers and sisters, and don't cause any trouble."

This lecture is a major event in the palace, only talented men and women handpicked by the emperor and princess can enter the palace to listen to the lecture.So this time she couldn't enter the palace, so she could only entrust Su Yue to Su Wan.

With a slight smile on Su Wan's face, she glanced at Su Yue, who had an extremely ugly face, from the corner of her eyes, and then said to the eldest lady: "Mother, don't worry. After entering the palace, Wan'er will restrain her younger brothers and sisters, absolutely not It's going to mess them up."

The eldest lady knew in her heart that Su Wan would restrain the two of them after entering the palace.It's just that Su Wan and Su Yue had too much grievances before, and Su Yue was impulsive. If Su Wan provoked him deliberately and caused some trouble, I'm afraid he would not be able to control it.

Seeing the smiling face on Su Wan's face, the Da Furen felt excited, and then said with a forced smile, "That's good. It's just that Yue'er is impulsive, so you should watch her more. If something goes wrong, we will But you are asking!"

Although the words in the doctor's mouth were said in a joking tone, Su Wan knew in her heart that the lady was undoubtedly entrusting Su Yue to herself, and even acquiesced in Su Wan's revenge, as long as it was not too much.

Hearing Da Furen's words, Su Wan's eyes lit up slightly, and then she said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry. This matter is very important, and it's in the inner courtyard of the palace. Wan'er still knows the importance of this."

The eldest lady, whose heart had been hanging in the air, finally let out a sigh of relief.Since Su Wan fell into the water, he never saw through Su Wan again.Every time she thinks she has caught Su Wan in a trap, Su Wan always reverses the situation with a brilliant means.

However, although Su Wan was unpredictable, she never let go of what she said.So after receiving Su Wan's guarantee, the eldest lady was completely relieved, "That's good. There are many rules in the inner courtyard of the palace, so you should take care of them."

The eldest lady gave Su Yue a few more words to make Su Yue listen carefully to Su Wan's words.Then the groom in the mansion came to report that the carriage was ready.The eldest lady sent the three of them to the carriage, and gave Su Wan a few words before letting the carriage set off.

The carriage slowly drove away from the Hou's mansion, and gradually drifted away under the gaze of the eldest lady.In the carriage, Su Yue looked down at the tip of her shoe, she was very quiet; Su Wan gently twirled the bracelet in her hand; Su Qing's eyes wandered, wondering what he was thinking.

The extremely quiet carriage drove slowly all the way to the gate of the palace, and I saw the magnificent building with red walls and yellow tiles standing silently between the sky and the earth, like a statue of a god to be worshiped, and also like a monster to be feared.

The coachman listened slowly at the gate of the palace. The guards on duty at the palace saw someone coming, and immediately stepped forward and stopped the carriage, "The palace is an important place, no one is allowed to enter! Who is in the car? Why do you want to enter the palace?"

The palace is an important place, and the guards in the palace are naturally extremely careful.If it weren't for the sharp-eyed guards who saw the sign of the mighty Marquis Mansion on the carriage, they would have already driven the carriage away.

I only heard a clear and clear voice slowly coming from the carriage, "General, the three of us are invited by Princess Jingya and Concubine Shu to attend the banquet in front of the palace and ask the general to let us go."

The invitations in the hands of Su Wan and Su Yue were all written by Yun Jingya herself, while the invitation in Su Qing's hands was obtained from the Yuan family after hard work.If you don't have this invitation in hand today, no matter what your status is, you won't be able to attend the feast in front of the palace.

The guard on duty heard a female voice in the car, and there was an invitation in his hand. He felt a little relieved, and he couldn't help loosening his hand holding the waist knife. Verify it."

After turning the bracelet for a while, Su Wan put away all the invitations of the three people, then opened the curtain of the car, and handed over all the three invitations in her hand, and let the guard take a good look at the people in the car by the way.

The guard's eyes were very sharp, and he looked around the inside of the carriage at a glance.Then he reached out and took the invitation card that Su Wan handed over. After reading it carefully, he handed the invitation card back to Su Wan, "Miss offended, please forgive me."

As he said that, he turned around and let the guards behind him let him go. A eunuch at the gate of the palace quickly walked over, bowed and said to Su Wan who was in the car: "Please get out of the car, and I will lead you to the Wenhua Palace."

Su Wan heard the eunuch's words, smiled slightly, and then got out of the car, followed by Su Qing, and Su Yue was the last one.Just looking at her uncertain face, she seemed very dissatisfied with this eunuch.

Following behind the little eunuch, looking at the strange yet familiar bluestone road in front of her, Su Wan was filled with emotion. In her previous life, how could she walk so hard among the red walls and green tiles?

However, time has changed, and when I come back, not only will I be interrogated by the guards on duty at the gate of the palace, but I will even go to the Wenhua Palace in person.

While Su Wan was reminiscing about the past, the little eunuch in front stood still, turned around and whispered to the three people behind him: "Three, in front of you is the Wenhua Palace, the place where Jingyan lectures are today. The three of you can just go in, and there will be a special person Entertain in the Wenhua Palace."

Su Wan, who was in the memories, was immediately brought back to reality. Looking up, she saw huge bluestones laying extremely flat in front of the hall, with yellow glazed tiles on the top of the mountain.In the Ming Dynasty, there were six doors with three crosses and six bowls of water chestnut, and one window on each of the east and west gables.

Looking at the extremely familiar scene in front of her, Su Wan felt as if she had passed away.After a while, he just laughed at himself, isn't he just a lifetime away?In the previous life, I was the master of this palace, but now I can only be a spectator.

Su Yue, who was behind her, looked at Su Wan who hadn't moved her position for a long time, thinking that Su Wan was surprised by such a magnificent building, looking at Su Wan standing in front, Su Yue said angrily: "It's really long hair but short knowledge! "

Although the voice was extremely low, Su Wan was too close to her.Su Wan, who was chasing the past and chasing the present, suddenly woke up, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, this Su Yue really didn't know how to live or die, even if the eldest lady is here today, she wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!

Although she knew in her heart that she was not the protagonist today, it did not prevent Su Wan from teasing Su Yue.Su Wan turned to look at Su Yue, squinted her eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Don't forget, how your mother told me to take care of you before today came!"

Su Yue felt a chill in her heart, and the past of her bullying Su Wan suddenly came to her mind, and she remembered her mother's advice before today came, she immediately lowered her head, silently thinking in her heart, I have a lot of adults today, so I don't care about you up.

Seeing Su Yue subdued, Su Wan snorted softly, and then winked at Su Qing who was standing at the back.Su Qing looked a little nervous, but still nodded firmly.Then the three of them walked into the Wenhua Palace together.

Entering the main hall, there are four screens sprinkled with gold at the door, on which the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are embroidered with extremely exquisite workmanship.Turning around the screen, one can see countless maids in the main hall shuttling through the hall, but they are busy but not chaotic.

Seeing the three people coming in, the little eunuch on one side quickly stepped forward, and asked the three of them with a flattering smile, "I don't know which family this young master and these two ladies belong to? Please take out the invitation card, and I will lead you Take your seat."

Su Wan took out the invitation cards of the three of them and handed them to the eunuch in front of him. At this time, there were already seven or eight people in the hall, many of whom were Su Wan's acquaintances.With just one glance, Su Wan saw the daughter of Li Wengong's family who had appeared at the Nobile Banquet, Hundred Flowers Poetry Club and Hundred Gardens before.

The eunuch saw the invitations of Su Wan and the other three, and said with a smile: "It turns out that they are the young masters and young ladies of the mighty Marquis's house. I never thought that it would be a great honor to meet the three of you. The three of you are here to invite you." People lead to the middle of the hall.

The three sat down quietly, with only four-color snacks and a bowl of hot tea on the table in front of them.After a while, all the empty tables in the hall were filled with people, and only the four princes, Yun Jingya and the emperor's seat were left empty.

Today, the lecture started at the third quarter of the banquet, and it was not until the second quarter that Yun Jingya arrived late with the four princes.Looking at the people in the palace, Yun Jingya nodded in satisfaction, and then sat on the seat next to the throne.

Afterwards, Yun Jingya said a few words, and signaled Su Lin to start talking about history.Watching Su Lin get up, Yun Jingya nodded secretly. Although today was a joint effort between herself and Mr. Fang, seeing how Su Lin behaved, she could bear her high expectations.

Just when Su Lin was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside the door, and someone came again.
