Happy Little Scholar

The royal banquet is actually very boring. Everything has to be in order, even if you talk, you have to lower your voice, including the successive performances in the palace, although they are wonderful, they are just a formality.

During the period, the old emperor and the queen came once, said a few words briefly, and left without finishing a dance. It was roughly equivalent to me being the host today, everyone eating and playing as they wanted, and all expenses were paid ----- -It's all deducted from the treasury.

The old emperor's health was really getting worse day by day. If Li Yi guessed correctly, he must have forgotten who Liu Jimin was these days, let alone the instructions from the Imperial Medical Office.

When encountering such a workaholic boss, the employees below will naturally be less lazy. Above Jingguo's court, there is almost no such atmosphere of arrogance, luxury and passiveness in work.

After the old emperor left, the atmosphere in the palace became obviously lively.

At this time, it is up to you whether you choose to continue watching the singing and dancing and chatting in the hall, or go out to relax and watch the lantern festival in the garden.

Tsundere Loli took Yongning out to play, and Li Yi also stood up and walked outside.

Li Xuan stood up in a hurry and asked, "What are you doing?"

"It's so boring here, let's go out for a walk." Li Yi said casually.

Li Xuan also patted his clothes and stood up and said, "Let's get together then. I just have a lot of things to ask you about military rations."

Li Yi looked at him and asked, "What kind of military rations?"

"How to seal and preserve military rations?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked doubtfully: "You said that that day in Xue Mansion."

"A worthless person usually has a bad memory." Li Yi shook his head. "I forgot how to get military rations and stuff. They should be sealed and kept. These... I don't understand."

After saying that, he walked out leisurely.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately chased him out, "No, think about it carefully, you will definitely remember it..."

…

…

There are actually more seats outside the hall, stretching out in a long way, with more than a dozen dancers dancing with their sleeves flying, turning and moving, and their postures are very graceful.

When Li Yi walked out of the door, he saw a few acquaintances. Young Master Qin and a few followers were sitting outside. They were as cold as dogs in the cold wind at night. They sniffed and saw Li Yi walking out of the house with a look on his face. Embarrassment, hatred, shame... the expression was quite complex.

Li Yi glanced at them and didn't look at them again. He didn't feel any sense of accomplishment playing with these guys.

He planned to go to Ruyi's place to have a look. The Queen had just come with the old emperor, so maybe everything was over there.

A group of guards looked serious and hurried past them. Li Xuan was worrying about how to cure Li Yi's amnesia, so he stopped one and asked, "What are you doing?"

The imperial guard said: "Returning to Your Highness, the royal concubine has lost her bracelet in the palace, and I will take people to check it now."

Li Yi was still amazed that a random guard knew Li Xuan. After being stunned for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Go over and have a look!"

"What are you looking at?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"Watch the fun."

…

"You two, you can't go in here." When Li Yi and Li Xuan walked outside the palace, they were stopped by two guards.

Li Xuan took out a sign from his waist, waved it in front of the guard's eyes, and said, "The Imperial Concubine has lost her bracelet. The Secret Service is assisting in the investigation. If a big event is delayed, can you bear this responsibility?"

"My lord please!"

I still know the guards of the general of the Secret Intelligence Department. Although there are only female relatives inside, men are not allowed to enter, but the situation is special at this moment. A group of guards has already entered in front, and the people of the Secret Intelligence Department certainly dare not stop them.

In Yingcui Hall, it was quiet at this time.

Concubine Cui looked at the bracelet that was broken into several pieces on the ground, her face turned pale.

A maid knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "My Lady, it's none of this slave's business. This bracelet just fell out of her body."

The maid turned back and pointed at the woman not far away.

All the ladies and ladies from the capital in the hall looked over. The woman was standing there with a very calm expression on her face.

What happened is simple.

When women gather together, what they talk about is of course not national affairs, but women's topics.

For example, what kind of perfume has Ruyifang launched? It is popular among all ages, regardless of age. I spent a lot of money on a piece of jewelry a few days ago. It happened to be during the clearance sale period and it was a great value. The latest store in Kyoto opened. The rouge in this rouge shop is very good. I feel beautiful after using it, and so on...

Just now, the imperial concubine handed over a jade bracelet to everyone for viewing. The jade bracelet was crystal clear and contained no trace of impurities. It was extremely precious and rare.

As we all know, the Cui family is behind the largest jewelry store in Jingguo. Only Concubine Cui can produce a jade bracelet of this quality.

However, everyone was passing it around and talking, and in the end it was unknown who passed it to someone's hands. The jade bracelet mysteriously disappeared...

No one present admitted that the jade bracelet was in their hands. This jade bracelet was so precious that it was rarely seen in the world. Concubine Cui immediately sent someone to notify the guards. However, before the guards came, the maid hurried back. While walking, she accidentally bumped into someone. Something slipped from the sleeve of the woman she bumped into and fell to the ground. It was Concubine Cui's jade bracelet.

For a moment, everyone's eyes changed slightly when they looked at the woman.

Although the jade bracelet is good, the people present are all people with status, and doing things like stealing is indeed a loss of status.

What’s more, the jade bracelet is now destroyed. Judging from Concubine Cui’s appearance, today’s incident may not end well.

“I remember that the Concubine’s bracelet seemed to have been passed there just now.” A woman whispered.

“Who is this woman? I’ve never seen her before... The one next to her seems to be the Prince’s Concubine of the Ning Wang family.”

“That’s the wife of Li County Earl. The perfume everyone uses is from her family...”

“She is the wife of the County Earl anyway. How could she do such a mean thing? It’s really embarrassing.”

…

…

There were countless whispering voices, and suddenly a figure slowly walked out of the crowd, looking at the maid and asked: “The Concubine and several ladies are here. You should think about what to say and what not to say. You can’t say a single word of falsehood.”

Seeing the silver-haired, weak-looking woman stand up, many people showed surprise on their faces.

Aren’t the Chen family and the Li family extremely hostile? At this moment, why would the third lady of the Chen family stand up to speak for her?

At this time, another person stood up and said, "I have been talking with Sister Liu here, and I can testify that she did not touch the jade bracelet just now."

If it was just the Third Miss of the Chen family, it would be fine, but now even the Prince's Consort of the Ning Wang family stood up to speak for her, and the whispers in the room suddenly became much quieter.

"Every word I said is true." The maid stood up, pointed at the woman, and said, "Even if I have the courage of the sky, I dare not..."

Pa!

A loud slap sounded in the hall, and the maid covered her face with an unbelievable look.

The weak temperament of the silver-haired woman suddenly disappeared, and she looked at the maid with a gloomy face, "You bold and lowly maid, the wife of the county earl, how can you slander her at will!"

The Third Miss of the Chen family is gentle in nature. She has been hurt by an incident twenty years ago. Most people present know it in their hearts, but they never thought that the gentle Third Miss of the Chen family would be so cold and fierce.
