Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Han exchanged greetings and then sat around Queen Tong.

Everyone in the Nuan Pavilion was chatting together in twos and threes. After a long time, they heard a drumbeat from the distant hall.

The canonization ceremony began.

The ceremony was complicated. When the prince arrived at Kunning Palace under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, Qiao Zhenzhen felt that her smiling face was about to freeze. Fortunately, the earth dragon in Kunning Palace was as warm as spring, so it was not difficult at all.

As the prince was approaching, the female relatives got up one after another and came to the door of the central hall. As soon as they came out of the Nuan Pavilion, they immediately felt the harsh wind and cold outside. She covered the collar of her furry coat and shrank her neck.

Music began to play in the hall.

The prince, dressed in royal robes, walked slowly over and showed his majesty.

The queen is sitting on a high throne.

The internal praise officer sang: "Kneel down——"

The prince lifted his robe and knelt down, "Young man Chu Cong, I hereby accept the appointment. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

The internal praise officer sang again: "Kowtow -"

The prince bowed down.

The Child Queen smiled gently and gloriously, and said: "Pingshen."

The prince stood up calmly, and under the guidance of the chief of ceremonies, he left the middle hall and headed towards the east palace. The next step was to accept the congratulations of the princes.

When the prince appeared, the female relatives bowed their heads and saluted, "Congratulations to the prince."

Qiao Zhenzhen hurriedly glared at the prince's face, and then quickly lowered her head, but her eyebrows were furrowed. Compared to the last time we met, the prince's skin seemed to be paler, and his lips looked less full of energy and blood. I heard Han Zheng mention before that the prince fell ill due to rain during the autumn hunting trip. Could it be that he was not completely healed or had any sequelae? Or are you tired from doing such a complicated ritual?

For some reason, she always felt uneasy.

The ceremony at Kunning Palace was over. Qiao Zhenzhen had been looking for an opportunity to get close to Queen Tong and ask about the prince's recent physical condition, but she couldn't find the opportunity at all. On this occasion, Queen Tong could hardly rest for a moment, so she had to ask the question first Hold it tight and talk about it later.

The palace banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and was arranged after all the officials had paid their respects. Some of the official positions were too small and were not qualified to participate. Qiao Zhenzhen's family was arranged to be on the left hand side of the emperor and empress. It was very forward and belonged to VIP seats. It was opposite to the emperor's right hand. All around are the royal family.

The few people she had a limited acquaintance with, including the prince, the eldest princess, the Chaoyang Princess, and the Shenghua County Princess, were all on that side, including the Dingguo family. Han Zheng was sitting diagonally across from her.

I've looked at her several times.

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't care about this. In the past, everyone in Kunning Palace lowered their heads, and it was not convenient for her to carefully observe the prince's face. Now that they were face to face, it was convenient for her to conduct a diagnosis.

Recently, she was learning to do medical consultations. Xie Qianzhong took her with her, wearing a monk's hat and cassock. She dressed up as two monks, set up a small table for interpreting signatures, and observed the faces of passers-by one by one as people came and went. Explain, and by the way, Xie Qianzhong also gave me a sign.

The more Qiao Zhenzhen got along with him, the more she was amazed at how much knowledge he knew. The so-called mountain doctors did not dabble in fortune telling, but were proficient in everything.

Her master said that when she can read all the books on the list he was given before and understand them, she will be so powerful.

But Qiao Zhenzhen feels that many things rely on talent, but Xie Qianzhong said that she has good talent and learns things quickly, but she knows that it is because she has learned a lot by herself in modern times, so she can learn things faster.

Traditional Chinese medicine is easy to learn but difficult to master, and sometimes you have to rely on a little "inspiration" to treat the disease.

Qiao Zhenzhen is not very confident in this aspect, so let's learn and see.

However, their small stall did not open for a few days, because Xie Qianzhong's words were so accurate that there was an endless stream of customers, which almost exhausted him to death, so he had to stop stalling in the end.

The two men disguised themselves as pilgrims, hid in a corner, and gave her lectures.

So Qiao Zhenzhen has gained a lot of experience in medical consultation recently.

As a result of the observation, she felt that it was not that she was careless, but that there must be some changes in the prince from the time he met a few months ago. However, she was not in a state where she could see it clearly. If she wanted to be sure, her master would have to take action.

The dishes at the palace banquet looked good, but for such a large palace banquet, especially in winter, the dishes were almost cold all the way from the imperial dining room to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Therefore, Qiao Zhenzhen cannot be like the heroines in many romance novels, who eats unscrupulously and as if no one else is around to highlight her own uniqueness when others are just trying.

Of course, Qiao Zhenzhen didn't want to behave differently.

Especially her natal family and her future husband's family are all there.

And Han Zheng.

The eldest princess had already looked in his direction several times... ten times.

What Han Zheng is wearing today should be the official clothes of the prince of the country. It is almost inky red, embroidered with gorgeous and complicated patterns, and has an exquisite and noble crown. Occasionally, it is quite eye-catching to see him dressed like this, expensive and handsome.

She was dressed quite grandly today, but it looked a bit like a New Year red envelope.

She also saw Wei Yunzhi's aunt, but Wei Yunzhi was not present at the banquet. She wondered if she was avoiding suspicion because of the second prince's matter.

She took a small symbolic bite of each dish. Since the food was cold, she drank more hot tea.

After a while, she couldn't help but want to relieve herself. She spoke to Wu, who was sitting next to her, and asked Gong'e, who was waiting nearby, to take her out to the toilet through the side door.

As soon as she left the palace, the cold wind blew her hair up.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is also paved with earth dragons. Although it is cold winter, the temperature is pleasant.

This makes the temperature difference between inside and outside even more difficult to accept.

Gong E took her for a long walk, bypassing several palace rooms. Qiao Zhenzhen felt wary and asked, "Why is the place to relieve herself so far away?"

I couldn't bring my maids with me into the palace, so Song Honggu, Chengxin and Ruyi were not around today.

But since today is the crown prince's canonization ceremony, no one would be foolish enough to choose this time to cause trouble.

Moreover, dealing with the daughter of a second-grade official in the palace, she is okay, but if something happens, it will definitely be a big shock.

Mo Qingyang is not easy to get along with.

Gong E smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, we'll be here soon. There were few outsiders relieving themselves in the palace before, so the place is a bit far away. We can't let the ladies and slaves use it in the same place."

Therefore, it is right to only eat something dry every time you enter the palace. At this moment, Qiao Zhenzhen regretted drinking too much hot tea. People have three urgent needs. Even if she feels something is wrong, she can't hold it back.

She has written novels about palace fights, but she has never really understood where the public toilets are in the palace. This is her blind spot.

As we all know, beautiful two-dimensional paper figures never go to the toilet.

Fortunately, we arrived at the place very quickly. It didn't look like an abandoned palace. When we opened the carved door, we found that the toilet was quite elegantly decorated, with a soft couch for rest and a large screen partitioned with embroidered pine trees and cranes. The interior was burned with charcoal, so it was much warmer than outside.

Qiao Zhenzhen asked Gong'e to wait for her at the door.

But when she came out, there was no one in front of the door. After leaving the palace, the streets were empty, which looked a bit strange.

The sound of music from the Hall of Supreme Harmony came faintly in the distance.

Qiao Zhenzhen's steps quickened, and she carefully remembered the way she came.

In fact, Ten Wan entered the palace at about the same time as her today, but I don't know where it will be now.

Just as she was about to turn around a palace room, a flash of fiery red appeared in her sight. It was the Lord Shenghua County whose face was covered with a veil.

Qiao Zhenzhen stopped.
