The scent of rouge from the women’s family gathered the fragrance of the chrysanthemum petals, just like maids pouring water overflowing from a basin, slowly spreading down the gaps between the blue bricks and slabs. The whole garden is hard to get around.

But Xiao Fuzi was the only branch among the flowers in the courtyard, and the chrysanthemums spit out flowers vigorously under his feet, which couldn't cover half of the sandalwood fragrance on this person.

Zhang Guangzhi followed behind, and the doubts in his heart were just like the flickering fragrance, lingering in his heart and lingering.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with Eunuch Liao? Dressed up like this..." Zhang Guangzhi asked the prince in a low voice, and Zhang Guangzhi kept looking at the little eunuch who was leading the way, feeling that this attire was strange.

Qi Mo turned his face sideways and said, "Why? You don't think such a dress looks good?"

"I don't dare." Zhang Guangzhi replied, "Eunuch Liao serves you wholeheartedly and cares about His Highness. It will be a matter of time before you get promoted. Besides, the chief eunuch is like an eighth-rank envoy. I can afford it. Maybe it's because I've been looking at the usual young man's clothes for a long time, but it's the first time I saw Eunuch Liao wearing blue, and I'm not used to it for a while."

Zhang Guangzhi complained in his heart, Mr. Liao was the most troublesome target in the prince's palace.Before entering the palace, Liao Zimeng also told him to bring a sentence, reminding his younger brother to be careful when serving the prince, and not to do things that attract people's attention.If you are undecided, you must first ask Brother Qi for questioning. Brother Qi has so much knowledge, he must be able to think of ideas that no one else can think of.

Little did you know that brother Qi of yours really came up with an idea that no one else could think of. Not only did you give your younger brother a promotion and a monthly salary, but he was also allowed to be meticulous, so that he would be an outstanding embryo among the maidservants.How will I explain to Brother Liao this time around!It's hard to say that your younger brother is getting more and more eye-catching in the palace, is it your Brother Qi's idea?Zhang Guangzhi thought, suddenly sad and desolate.What should he do?

Liao Xiaofu followed behind his master with his hands in his hands, holding his palms tightly, wishing he could only look at the top of his boots with his head down.

Since accepting that matter, although His Highness has personally discussed the matter with Chen Baishuang, but when Xiao Fuzi met the master, it was like a mouse meeting a civet cat.If he can deceive others, he can't deceive Master. If he tells others that he is risking his face for His Highness's plan, maybe that person will believe [-]% of it, and the remaining [-]% will naturally be a little lucky son who is greedy for glory and took the crown prince. benefit.

But this matter is not the same in Chen Dagong's eyes.Not to mention that the crown prince intentionally deceived Xiao Fuzi, even if he didn't, his apprentice did it willingly.Little Fuzi's love for Tempting Heart is not short-lived, I'm afraid it has been more than a year.It's not so much that it's just a plan, it's better to say that it's what my unsatisfied apprentice wants.

Due to the fact that the master is the current crown prince, Grand Duke Chen has nowhere to confide his anger, so he had to set up the rules in the palace in a strict and orderly manner, and tightened the tone of the attendants everywhere.

Surrounding the red wall is the hanging flower gate of the main hall of Fengluan Hall. The bluestone slabs stop here, and the white jade-like millstone bricks converge at the beginning of the chaoshou verandah, leading to the left and right sides.Although it is not the season of blooming flowers, they are still full of flowers. It can be seen that Queen Zhao brought the love of loving and protecting flowers from the Taishi Mansion into the palace.

Both sides of the corridor are exquisitely carved empty pavilions, and concubines like to inlay gold and silver on the window panes, or embellish them with precious stones.Empress Zhao only placed all kinds of small bonsai trees here, and each style came from the hands of the empress, either as the three friends of Sui Han, or as Ping An Xi Shun.Now it is paired with nearly a hundred pots of chrysanthemums, and the fragrance of the flowers is extraordinary.

Chen Baishuang led the way, walked along the veranda into the front hall, swept away the dust and knelt down and sang: "I have seen the empress, the concubine Wu Guifei, and I greet all the empresses and young masters."

The Grand Duke knelt, followed by kneeling one after another, and Liao Xiaofu must also be in there.After getting up, the prince passed by, stopped, and said to Grand Duke Chen: "Grandpa Chen has something to do, just ask Xiao Fuzi to serve him after the banquet."

"I'll save this for you, Your Highness." Chen Baishuang couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and he summoned Xiao Fuzi to follow.Seeing that his unsatisfactory disciple pursed his lips and ran away with the prince with a light smile.

well!Dagong Chen sighed embarrassingly, he was so young that he didn't know how to worry, he was afraid that the whole palace would not know that he had become the crown prince's little pet.

"Your Highness, did the servant look like you just now?" Seeing that the master stopped following, Liao Xiaofu took two quick steps to stick up.In recent days, I spent time studying hard with Chen Yuan every day, every frown, smile, every movement of my hand and every movement of my feet are all checked by the sixth brother himself.However, even such a famous teacher can only teach one-third of his disciples.

Reluctantly, Qi Mo nodded and replied, "It's more diligent than the previous few days. After a while, my son will stay behind alone, and he won't be allowed to go anywhere." After finishing speaking, he entered the table.

The banquet held in Queen Zhao's palace was a family banquet, and she didn't want to put on airs, so there were no rules for the banquet, and the hosts were happy.Today, Empress Zhao is dressed in bright red, rich and elegant.In the bun, only a lily step was used to hold the main seat.On the left and right seats are Concubine Wu and the First Prince Qi Gu, and the second row is Chen Guiren.The next row is Concubine Jing and Second Prince Qi Wan.The birth mother of the third prince, Feng Guiren, is not of high status, but due to the face of the third prince, she is ranked first with Qi Shang.A few people who couldn't see each other on weekdays agreed to sit with the young master and sit at the bottom.

Emperor Yuan did not favor female sex since he ascended the throne, so there were not many good women in the harem, and most of them had low positions.The three older princesses have been married as wives, and they are mostly used to restrain court officials or offshoots of vassal kings.Qi Mo couldn't help but be moved. Could it be that for the emperor, children are pawns to weigh the disadvantages and interests and check and balance the desires?Thinking of the hatred of Hongmen's family banquet again, since Tianjia has no father and son, don't blame him for being ruthless in the future.

"My minister was delayed on the way to see his mother, and he came late. I asked all the ladies to wait. It is my fault." Qi Mo paid his respects to his mother before entering the banquet, but he did not see each of them as usual, so he was caught off guard.The prince is the king, the minister is the minister, the minister is the king, and the prince is the king, so naturally there is no need to salute.In this palace, only his father, mother, and father's elders can bear the crown prince's bow.Then there is Master Fu, who is Qi Mo's benefactor, so naturally he can afford it.

And that sentence is that the son-in-law is wrong, even if he is explaining to the elders.

All the female relatives stood up and saluted Qi Mo together.Unavoidably offending the queen, most of the concubines are dressed in off-colors such as light pink, bright green, and lake blue, paired with brocade grosgrain, which is bright but not glamorous.

Concubine Wu smiled sweetly, with a pink handkerchief wrapped in her hand, she said: "The prince has always cared about the country, and it was a coincidence that he came late, so I asked the concubine and all the younger sisters to be more blessed by the elder sister. Such a good chrysanthemum, I'm afraid There are not many places in the whole palace."

"The noble concubine is well." Qi Mo said, staring at the phoenix lotus seed embellished with gold and flowers on the head of Wu Guifei, and said, his heart was already displeased, such luxury is really the heart that holds the phoenix seal, and he said again: "What will happen later?" Chen Guiren? What's the matter? Gu lost that jade pendant last time, has anyone found it?"

Chen Guiren wanted to hide from the crown prince today, but who would have bored the brunt of it, he was taken out, got up and quickly replied: "It's my concubine who has no way to discipline my servants, please make atonement, Your Highness."

"The prince still has the jade pendant? How could I not know?" the third prince asked with a smile, and exchanged glances with the eldest prince.

"The prince has a lot of good things, what have you seen? But why is the emperor so angry today?" The eldest prince sneered, picked a grape from the fruit plate with his hand and put it in his mouth. If you don’t get together, Brother Huang is still thinking about the food in your palace.”

Now that the first prince opened his mouth to make a rescue, Concubine Wu was uncomfortable talking too much, she gently raised the wine cup, and said: "Prince, don't blame me, Mrs. Chen is a rough envoy girl by my side, and she can't stand on the stage. Somehow she was favored by the Holy Majesty, I'm afraid I don't know the rules in the palace, so I ask the prince to forgive me."

Qi Mo smiled and said nothing, and it took him a long time to lift up the lily pearl and jade gold bottle that was unique to his mother's harem, and said: "The noble concubine is serious, even though she is a prince, how dare she compare with the nobles that the emperor likes. But Chen Guiren is indeed a beautiful family member in the palace, with a beautiful face and at a good age, no wonder the emperor likes it. Chen Guiren is quite favored now, and I only hope that there will be more royal brothers and sisters in the palace."

When Concubine Wu heard that she was at a good age, she unconsciously turned cold, and when she heard a few more brothers and sisters, her smile became even more embarrassing.

"Don't be angry, empress. It's a great fortune for a servant to serve the emperor. I'm afraid I won't be able to raise the emperor's heir!" Chen Guiren scolded Qi Mo thoroughly in his heart.Not only did he dare to compare, he even dared to kill him!He just made things difficult for a servant of him that day, and he actually made his subordinate Grand Duke slap his mouth in public!But at the moment the crown prince speaks convincingly, his eyes are earnest, seemingly harmless, but he opens his mouth to stab the heart of the imperial concubine, how can Chen Guiren not be in a hurry?He only hated that he had provoked the wrong person, and he should never have thought that the crown prince was a useless piece of trash.

"Mo'er is also a good intention. Sister, sit down after drinking, and what to do standing up." Queen Zhao naturally didn't know that Chen Guiren bullied Xiao Fuzi, and wondered why the prince had always been forbearing. Softly relieved the encirclement, "Today, the palace is also kind. The grandson of Su Yuanshan, Marquis of the Chongyang Festival, not only did a good job in accompanying the study, but also found all kinds of chrysanthemums, which are very beautiful and eye-catching. If such a beautiful scenery is enjoyed by one person alone, it will be obvious." It's tasteless, why don't I order people to bring all kinds of pots into a pot, and each of them chooses the one they like, sisters, how about it?"

Concubine Wu leaned forward slightly, with a respectful expression, she smiled and said: "The things my sister got in the palace are naturally the best, quickly ask someone to bring them up, so that my sisters can open their eyes."

Concubine Jing and Guiren Feng also stood up to respond to the concubine's call. On the left, he said that the queen's phoenix body is in good health, which is a great blessing, and on the right, he said that the emperor and the empress are deeply in love with each other.

Sitting in front of the main hall of Fengluan Hall, Qi Mo watched the nuns summon dozens of maidservants, all of whom were holding flower pots as thick as their waists, flustered for a while.After the maidservants brought all the flower pots, the leading nun went down to receive the reward with a kneeling.

"This year's good chrysanthemums are all here. My sisters feel free to open their mouths if they like it. It's like serving the emperor." Empress Zhao's voice was like a spring flowing, warming people's hearts.But the lilies on the hairpin are standing alone, one lily is better than the ten thousand in front of them, it is really sharp.

"Hey, I don't know gardening, and I don't have the queen's good eyesight. If you don't choose well, sister, don't laugh." Concubine Wu stood up and looked at it.I saw her slenderly pointing: "This Zilong Woxue looks good, sister can reward me with this pot!"

Liao Xiaofu stood behind the crown prince, Zhang Guangzhi's side moved his lips lightly and said: "This person is Empress Wu Guifei, the daughter of Prime Minister Wu Shaoyun, who is in charge of the Phoenix seal. Opposite is the eldest prince."

Zhang Guangzhi nodded and recorded, watching his mother move the pot of Zilongwoxue behind Concubine Wu Gui.Zilongwoxue is the best among chrysanthemums. The petals are curved and concave to the center of the flower, which is a sign of auspicious clouds and purple.

"The empress's flowers are all good in every pot, just like the queen mother's feast of flat peaches in Yaochi. I just think that everything is good, so let me reward you with the ancient dragon's beard." Qi Gu walked around and looked, and finally stopped at the petals. In front of the golden buds of the dragon's beard.

Concubine Jing seldom speaks, but she is also a flamboyant person.Today, she is wearing a cloak of light gauze with silver beads and dots of emerald green, which can be regarded as suitable for both beautiful and beautiful people.

"If the empress is willing, then give this flying bird beauty to my concubine." Concubine Jing fiddled with the beauty chrysanthemum with her hands, and said slowly, "This flower is a flying stamen, with straight and long petals. It can't be collected. People who don't understand think it is weird, but I like its unruly flowers, which is really rare."

Empress Zhao took the elegant green water cup to moisten her mouth, her beautiful face was clouded, she nodded and smiled: "It's rare that my sister has a unique vision, and the beauty of the bird is a flower introduced from outside the border. Let alone the capital Yincheng, It’s hard to find anyone who knows this flower in Xifan. Mommy hasn’t moved it for Concubine Jing yet.”

"The Queen's concubine has won the award. The concubine only found out by chance. It's really rare to see her." Concubine Jing is always indifferent, respectful and thankful, as if there is nothing in the world that she cares about.

However, Qi Mo knew what she cared about.

"This Concubine Jing is the second daughter of Duke Jing's concubine, who gave birth to the second prince. When I saw her today, she was really like what His Highness said. She is really a cold-tempered woman. The second prince probably followed Concubine Jing's disposition and didn't like to talk. , I only love to make flowers. Your Highness said that if the lotus in Shengheyuan is the second, there will be no one in the world." Xiao Fuzi pondered, but was interrupted by Zhang Guangzhi before he finished speaking.

Zhang Guangzhi stared at the second prince with good eyes, and said bluntly: "Yi Chen's rough opinion, why does the second prince not look like His Highness?"

"Master Zhang also feels the same?" Xiao Fuzi hesitated for a moment and replied, remembering that His Highness once said that he was not allowed to keep an eye on the prince, he sighed.

The second prince, Qi Wan, walked slowly through the flower pot, and the light penetrated through the green leaves of the branches, making dots of light on Qi Wan's robe, as if to blend the second prince and the flowers together.He chooses the quietest flowers, but also the longest ones, so he chooses with his heart down.

After a while, Qi Wan begged, his face as indifferent as a chrysanthemum: "My empress, this pot of cinnabar red frost..."

"The cinnabar red frost is too bright, and the petals are wide, so it is not suitable for the second prince to be kept in the palace." Concubine Jing said suddenly, her eyes lingering on the flowers.This was said calmly and calmly, as if it was his duty to make up his mind for the second prince, and there was no doubt about it.

"That basin of Remnant Snow Jinghong has a rather desolate atmosphere, the Second Highness must keep that basin."

Qi Wan didn't nod his head, but stretched out his hand to salute, and said: "That's good, my son will ask the empress for a pot of residual snow."

Qi Mo narrowed his eyes, and a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips.The two princes were really as he had guessed, they really did not agree with Concubine Jing, there were quite a few gaps between them.Interesting, indeed interesting.

Feng Gui's status was not high, and after the third prince had chosen a pot of rouge to touch the snow, he could barely get up, and only chose a pot of black chrysanthemums.Qi Mo listened quietly to Xiao Fuzi telling Zhang Guangzhi about Feng Guiren's background behind him, and his irritable heart immediately calmed down.

It was also such a grand family banquet in the previous life, and now I look back at it again, and the faces are vivid in my memory.

The bowl of sweet Tanghua soup that was brought to his mouth was still not fully digested, burning his stomach and burning his heart.Qi Mo's eyes darkened at the moment, and he sneered coldly, those who have hurt him are all here, there is still a long time in the palace, no one can run away.

"Your Highness, is this tea cold? Will you replace it with warm ones, my servant?"

The prince was immersed in the painful past, his heart was in pain for a moment, and his hatred was fierce.Liao Xiaofu brought up the hot tea, asked in a low voice, and unexpectedly raised his eyes to meet the prince's burning gaze.

Because of these eyes, in the previous life, he would rather die with Qi Mo than live, even though the crown prince never remembered who he was.He cut off water for him for three days, he drank all the sesame oil for him, and he insisted on testing poison for him.

Even if the end of the silver spoon was dipped in sweet soup, it would be black all over, even if there was a thunderstorm and heavy rain that day, even if the palace of Prince Hui was heavily guarded and no living people entered or left.

It was Liao Xiaofu, kneeling in front of the prince, begging to try the dishes for Qi Mo again.

It was Liao Xiaofu who refused to shed tears just for the crown prince's words "Don't cry again".

It was Liao Xiaofu who hugged His Highness's leg before he died just to turn into a human candle and lead the way.

Qi Mo raised his eyes, took the tea, and all the coldness in his body melted away.What can he do to others who are hard-hearted in this life?He still has Liao Xiaofu, trusting him, protecting him, waiting for him, respecting him, clinging to him foolishly, admiring him foolishly is enough.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Little Fuzi hurriedly asked when he saw that the crown prince had been refusing to drink for a long time.

"It's okay, I just thought about a lot... things that are far away." Qi Mo replied.

Eight thousand years old bowed his head that year, kneeling so straight that he couldn't be more upright, like an ice sculpture.He held the small glazed green bowl in one hand, and stirred the silver and white spoon in the other, with his fingertips slightly raised.The prince has already embraced the heart of death, and insists on telling him to retreat.But he was afraid that the prince would not understand, so he came forward foolishly.

"Your Highness, let it be easy, let the slave try the dishes... Let the slave try it."

It was this sentence that revitalized Qi Mo's heart that had turned into dust from death.
