Wen Family Has a Wife

Qi Zixi didn't feel anything at first, but was made nervous by Wen Yuanhong, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure, "Success! Then I thank my second brother-in-law here."

He said so, but he didn't intend to do this at all in his heart!

Soon it was the Qianqiu Festival, this year was the emperor's 60th birthday, and it was more lively and grand than in previous years.

Before dawn, a red carpet has been laid on the road from Chengqing Palace to the Meridian Gate. Both sides of the white marble steps are full of bright and beautiful peonies. Obviously this season is not the flowering period of peonies, but these flowers are growing gratifyingly. It can be seen that growing flowers How much painstaking effort did the person spend.

There are lanterns and festoons everywhere in the palace. All the palace lanterns are brand new, made of red sandalwood, exquisitely carved, and covered with light glass. The sky is not yet bright, and the candles inside are burning. Through the jasper glass cover, colorful lights are reflected. The light, the usually dark and bottomless corridor is extremely brightly illuminated, and the invisible end is now very clear. The eaves under the palace lantern are hung with bright red silk and satin, embroidered with gold thread on a red background, shining dazzlingly under the light Dazzling brilliance, at first glance, it is a place of extreme wealth and glory.

Kang Chengwang led the Imperial Forest Army to patrol past, his tiger eyes flashed across the palace lanterns, and he did not dare to relax at all.

Two people walked towards each other, Kang Chengwang looked away, and stopped after approaching, "General Ming, General Zheng, are you going out of the palace?"

Ming Shuo nodded slightly, his face was quite normal, but Zheng Ying beside him had a melancholy face with a touch of undetectable grief.

Kang Chengwang knew why the two of them entered the palace, but he didn't know why Zheng Ying reacted this way. Out of caution, even though it was wrong, he asked a lot, "General Zheng doesn't look very good."

Zheng Ying opened his mouth, only then did Kang Chengwang realize that his eyes were a little red, and his heart skipped a beat, "This is..."

Ming Shuo patted Zheng Ying's shoulder, and whispered to Kang Chengwang, "The Seventh Prince is gone."

"What?" Kang Chengwang's tiger eyes almost burst, "When did it happen?"

"Just now." Zheng Ying's voice was slightly hoarse, and it could be heard that he had cried.

Kang Chengwang didn't know what to say for a while, today was the emperor's birthday, but he ended up sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man. With such a blow, he didn't know how to live through the future.

Thinking of this, his eyes glanced at those bright red colors again, and hesitantly asked: "Then has the emperor ordered not to hold the Qianqiu Festival?"

Ming Shuo shook his head seriously, "At present, only a few people know about this matter. In order not to arouse everyone's suspicion, the emperor means that the Qianqiu Festival will be held as usual, and the news will be announced in three days. The empress Zheng Fei is crying heartbroken... "

Ming Shuo glanced at Zheng Ying, the man who had always been carefree was a little cautious at the moment, and said: "The emperor asked Concubine Zheng to guard the mourning hall, so there is no need to show up today."

Kang Chengwang was speechless for a moment. Even though he was loyal to the emperor and understood the emperor's position, he couldn't help but feel chilled at the moment, but he had no position to say anything to Zheng Ying.

Zheng Ying nodded slightly with a blank face, followed Ming Shuo and walked out of the palace without looking back.

The guards around Kang Chengwang couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Commander, I'm afraid the emperor will make the Zheng family feel colder by doing this!"

The five princes died at the palace banquet, and the emperor mourned greatly. From the royal relatives and nobles to the lower rank civil and military officials, they were all trapped in the Chengqing Palace. They were interrogated one by one. Even the funeral was held according to the prince's specifications. Although there was no prince's name, But there is the reality of a prince, the only difference is a name.

Now it's the Seventh Prince's turn to be gone. Not only does the emperor not show his face, he celebrates his birthday as usual, and he doesn't need the Seventh Prince's biological mother to show up, why? Do you feel that Concubine Zheng, who lost her son, is unlucky? Isn't the Seventh Prince his son?

Kang Chengwang lowered his eyes, frowned and reprimanded: "Don't open your mouth when it's none of your business, do you still want to hang out in the Imperial Forest Army?"

The Imperial Forest Army belongs to the emperor's personal guards. It is different from other armies in the imperial city. The people inside are all children of aristocratic families or sons of courtiers. If anyone goes out, they will be surrounded by stars. Naturally, they will impulsively comment on things that are not eye-catching. .

Kang Chengwang knew the truth of this very well, he just cursed and didn't say anything more, and led his people to continue patrolling.

But two quarters of an hour later, the sky became brighter, and the officials in charge of the Qianqiu Festival had already lined up to enter the palace. On the way to Chengqing Palace, they had to go through body searches at least three times. It was not so strict in the past, but since the New Year's Eve palace banquet, this The palace was becoming less and less impersonal.

Kang Chengwang brought people here, stood aside and stared at everyone who entered the palace, and when he noticed something wrong, he went forward and searched himself. He had offended many people in this position, but everyone dared not speak out. After so long, everyone is used to it.

After a lot of tossing, it was almost ten o'clock when everyone entered the Chengqing Palace. Qi Zixi's duty was to record everyone who entered the Chengqing Palace. The Ministry of Rites also set up a table for him outside, laying out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Where the lonely table is placed, it looks a little weird and pitiful.

Qi Zixi walked over numbly, just as the ink was being rubbed, there was a big maid leading a group of young maids coming up from the steps, he was condescending, he couldn't see the appearance of the people coming, but he could see the black heads clearly.

When someone approached, he immediately squinted his eyes and stared straight at the leader.

The other party felt his burning gaze, looked over subconsciously, smiled suddenly, and went forward to say hello, Qi Zixi took advantage of the opportunity to write down their names, although it was not the time yet, but since they are here, why stand around stupidly It's too eye-catching if you don't do it, it's better to use these palace people to practice your hands.

He immediately discovered the problem in this test, one by one the palace servants reported their names before entering the palace, and when he went out, he couldn't remember the names of those people, so he had to ask them again, which was a waste of time.

Furthermore, although it is past midsummer, the sun is still hot when it comes out, and it is inconvenient to do things here, facing the sun. After the palace man entered, he thought about moving the table to Chengqing Palace. Nine out of ten people who pass by here today are going to the Chengqing Palace. In this way, there will be no fish that slip through the net, and you can find yourself a good place to block the sun, and you can see people coming from a distance. Just sitting upright, if no one is approaching, he can take the opportunity to be lazy or something, which is much better than sitting outside the Chengqing Palace and being the door god.

After making up his mind, Qi Zixi secretly went to ask the Minister of Rites for a while, and the Minister of Rites followed him today, busy watching around, and after hearing Qi Zixi's suggestion, he agreed without much hesitation. In this case of registering officials entering and exiting, it seemed awkward to set a table outside the hall, and secondly, the emperor had to ask a few words when he saw it, and it was better to listen to Qi Zixi's suggestion.
