imprinted you in my heart

Ever since Emperor Tianfu moved to the Royal Garden Villa, the bustling city has remained the same, but it has always been a little less. In addition, the empress dowager and the empress do not leave the palace easily, and the upper circles are a bit colder. Today is an exception.

Because it is Zhaohou's birthday, rumor has it that both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will come, so the nobles and gentry in Fandu can't sit still, and everyone who can come has come, and it's earlier than before to attend the banquet After a while, I'm afraid I'll miss welcoming the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Luanjia.

When Zhao Huan and Wen Yu arrived at Zhaohou Mansion, it was just about to start the banquet. After accepting the etiquette from everyone and rewarding them with congratulatory gifts, they sat down at the main desk in the middle specially reserved for them in Zhaohou Mansion. The Empress Dowager is in the middle, the Empress Dowager is on the left, and Zhao Hou is on the right.

On the left is the noble family of Xungui, and on the right is the family of Xungui. Except for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there are only four members of Zhaohou's family and Wenhou couple. Compared with the other ten people at the table, it seems a little small.

It was not the first time Wen Yu accompanied Zhao Huan to the Marquis of Zhao's mansion to celebrate his birthday. He had already memorized the procedure and the congratulatory gift had already been rewarded, and it was customary to prepare a little less and a little less than what Zhao Huan prepared. It's the master, she's the second, so you can't take the lead.

As the empress dowager, Zhaohou's older brothers were all marquises, which shows Wu Zong's respect and love for the empress dowager.Because according to the practice of the Hua Dynasty, there are at most three generations of Fuze's relatives. It has always been the Queen's mother or father who was conferred the title of Marquis, and the surname is used as the Marquis to show special favor.

The arrival of the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Luanjia made the whole dinner a lot quieter. There was no more loud and noisy noise before. Even if other people had something to say, they would bow their heads and whisper. Zhong Wang Shi Shuang, who was in front of the left hand, seemed to be in a good mood, smiling The intention is always on the face.

Sitting first on the left is Prince Li Shiyan and her partner, the princess. She deserves it no matter how high the title is or how old she is. If her daughter Shi Sihe hadn't followed Shengjia to the Royal Garden Villa, she wouldn't have Those who participated in this kind of banquet, the Zhaohou Mansion was surprised when they learned that she was going to attend.

Since she dismissed the patriarchal order, she has put an end to all kinds of banquets. Except for the banquets in the palace, she sent Shi Sihe to attend all other banquets instead of her. I had to move over with my partner.

Zhao Chengfan and his partner were seated at the first table on the right, Marquis Wen and his partner were seated at the second, and then Zhao Huanying. Xu sat in his seat, and the entire front yard, from the lobby to the yard, was filled with desks, and it was very lively.

As the commander of the foreign imperial army, Mulanyu also has the important task of protecting Fandu and the queen mothers of the two palaces. She dare not slack off in the slightest. She has already protected Zhaohou's mansion from front to back. Shuang paid special attention to it. Although the two were a little far apart, it did not prevent her from being watched by others.

Wei Qineng and another former governor who originally wanted to be the emperor of the land also came. One brought a partner and the other brought a child. Up to now, the relationship has been very close, and the two are relatively close, and this will be whispering.

Wen Yu really wanted to talk to her parents, but the location was too far away, and it was not suitable for such an occasion, but her eyes drifted to her parents from time to time. If her eldest sister hadn't crossed the river, she would probably have attended You don't have to bother your parents, hey, she's also thinking about it a little bit.

All the people present, except for a small number of people who were babbling in their hearts, most of them were engrossed in the joy and prosperity of the Marquis Zhao Mansion.

The protagonists of the finale had already been seated. Zhao Hou, who was the protagonist of the birthday banquet, held a wine glass and said something loudly. He asked the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to announce the start of the banquet. The originally quiet banquet became lively again in an instant.

Although Zhao Hou is already a hundred years old, he is full of energy and speaks with full of air. When he is smiling, he is more like a Taoist who has left the world, as if he is not a person in the world.

Halfway through the banquet, after three rounds of wine, the song and dance performance prepared by the Zhaohou Mansion just started, which instantly pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to a boiling point. Some people were already drunk, and some people were already full. Shi Shuang felt that the time was almost right, so he invited The entourage whispered: "Let's get started", and the entourage immediately took the order and left with a serious face.

The person sent by Mulan Yu to stare at King Zhong pretended to be a servant, so he was a little far away and couldn't hear what Shi Shuang and the others said. When the entourage left, he wanted to find out and followed.

The former governor who wanted to be the emperor sitting in the opposite back whispered something to his son after seeing King Zhong and his entourage whispering, and the son left the banquet with the excuse of going to the toilet.

Mulan Yu, who was watching the banquet all the time, only saw Shi Shuang chatting with the followers, but she was not at ease seeing that her people had followed up, so she also called the followers to let her pass on the message, and must keep an eye on all the entrances and exits of Zhaohou Mansion.

The Marquis Zhao's Mansion is not an ordinary official, nor is it an ordinary noble. Even if Mulanyu wanted to transfer all the imperial guards here, she would not dare to be blatant, because she acted on behalf of the emperor's order, and His Majesty had no such intention, so this The Forbidden Army arranged by her for the first time were all disguised.

Those guarding the outside are all dressed as civilians, and those in Zhaohou's mansion are all recruited through temporary recruitment, and they all do some rough and chores. When she received the secret letter from His Majesty, she had a premonition that Zhaohou Shouchen would It was a "good day", and later His Majesty sent another secret letter, which coincided with her guess, so I made preparations in advance.

But the number of people in disguise is limited, but there are only a hundred people, and they can only be blocked for a while. The real back-up still depends on the Outer and Inner Forbidden Army. In addition to the one thousand Inner Forbidden Army and the two thousand Outer Forbidden Army that were taken away by His Majesty, she has more troops at her disposal. There are twenty thousand.

After watching the singing and dancing for a while, Zhao Huan and Wen Yu were ready to go back to the palace. The Zhaohou Mansion, which had arrived at sunset, was already nightfall, and they wanted to go back, not to mention they were there, and everyone couldn't let go.

"The empress dowager, the empress dowager drove back to the palace"

"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager"

Zhao Hou watched the back of his sister Luanjia leaving for a long time and couldn't move his eyes. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he couldn't speak to stay because his sister also had her own home and family.

When everyone was sending off the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, taking advantage of everyone's attention on them, Shi Shuang left. Compared with the high-profile at the time, he left in a low-key manner.

As soon as the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager walked away, Mulan Yu followed her out.

With the departure of the two empress dowagers, it didn't take long for someone to leave. The first one was Prince Li Shi Yan, "Congratulations again on Zhaohou Qiyi's birthday, but there is something in the house, this king has to go first and leave."

"His Highness, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the old man's birthday banquet. Since you have something to do in your house, I will not stay here. Your Highness, go slowly." He wanted to send it himself, but just happened to see Zhao Huanying, "Huanying sent His Highness out One click" and gave him the task.

Prince Li and his partner were very kind to the younger generation. Seeing that Zhao Huanying was a little nervous, they asked, "It must be very hard to work in the local area. Do you want to come back?" Zhao Huanying didn't answer immediately after hearing the words, but fell into thinking. Shi Yan knew that his reaction was a bit slow and straightforward, so he added, "Say what you think of, let it come out of your mouth and into our ears, and no one else will know."

Shi Yan spoke in a low voice, just enough for the three of them to hear, and the followers who followed a few steps behind couldn't hear them at all, but as followers, they were also very self-conscious. If they were told that they didn't hear it, it was best to pretend that they did. did not hear it.

Zhao Huanying, after being baptized in the battlefield and serving in the local area, is no longer the foolish and slow brat he used to be. Knowing that he reacts slowly, he deliberately developed the habit of thinking before speaking, just because he was afraid of being stupid and saying everything. For this reason, when Xing Boen and the others marched west together, they were often scolded.

Coupled with his father and father's persuasion, he also understands, don't speak too bluntly, otherwise it will easily offend people, and he doesn't know it, but he likes this kind and amiable elder who is not a prince at all, but He still didn't want to say what was on his mind.

After thinking about it for a while, I replied: "I just miss my grandfather and the others occasionally. Fandu is okay. Although I am only in a small county, I have everything in Fandu, and most of the county towns also have it. There is no shortage of food and clothing. Sometimes I really miss His Majesty, and I also miss Xing Boen and the others," said Zhao Huanying with a little more sadness on her face.

"Children, it's normal for friends who want to play with each other since they were young. You will get together sooner or later. Don't be too sad," the princess comforted.

"That's right, if the king's budget is not wrong, the time of His Majesty's wedding may be the day you get together, and it will only be half a year or so, please be happy." Shi Yan also came here like this, and it made her sadder than missing her friends. The most important thing is to mourn for a friend. It is better to have something to look forward to than nothing.

The conversation between the three is the conversation between the elder and the younger generation. There is the care and comfort of the elder's younger generation, and the respect and love of the younger generation for the elder. When they are about to reach the door, they still have a lot to say but it is too late.

"Son, just send it here, it's rare to come back, and stay with your grandfather and father." After walking to the door, Shi Yan stopped and turned around and said, the princess who was being held by the hand also turned around at the same time, the palace carriage attendant The ward has already been waiting at the door in advance.

Those who can follow the master to the banquet are usually served personally, and the number of people is usually two to four, so most of them stay outside the house.

Although Hua Guo is also very conservative and doesn't show his flesh easily, including Xia Tian, ​​it is okay to hold hands, and it is only limited to people who are very close, such as partners, such as parents and children, elders clapping shoulders and clapping hands with juniors, etc. For the rest, whether it is between the same sex or between the opposite sex, if it is not necessary, there is no need to have physical contact, which is called privacy protection.

"Those who are in the lower province, I will send you off to Your Highness and Princess Wang." Just as Zhao Huanying finished speaking and saluted, a large number of armed people rushed over from the darkness and surrounded the gate of Marquis Zhao's mansion.

Although the gate of Zhaohou's mansion had already been lit with lanterns, they were always on. Even the light bulbs couldn't illuminate very far. What's more, the lighting conditions of the lanterns, which were less than half of the light bulbs, were even more worrying, so that these people rushed out. They just found out.

Seeing that their armor was neither like the Imperial Guards nor the Imperial Guards outside, let alone the servants who had no armor, the guards of Marquis Zhao's Mansion and the Royal Palace who thought they were patrolling the Imperial Guards outside the city realized that they were not the Imperial Guards and government servants. Instantly drew his sword and retreated to the door to form a defensive posture.

Prince Li Shi Yan, who was guarded by all the guards and servants, frowned when he saw this, immediately protected his partner behind him, and shouted loudly: "Who are you waiting for? How dare the emperor wear armor privately at his feet?" Are you not afraid of being wiped out by the nine clans?"

Zhao Huanying couldn't believe his eyes. The actions of these people have already shown their attitude. If they were afraid of death, they would not do such a thing. He really couldn't understand. Since His Majesty came to power, he first recuperated with the people and then Vigorously eradicating the old and innovating, even the people in his county praised His Majesty's benevolence, but these honorable nobles hated His Majesty for this?

Why is it a noble family?Because only noble nobles can afford to support such a large number of private soldiers, and all of them are armored and well-armed!

He really doesn't understand, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. He just needs to understand that he will never let these people succeed. , and arranged for people to go to the back door to investigate.

The front yard where the song and dance performance was still going on didn't know what happened at the door, they continued to sing and dance, eat and drink, some of them were already drunk, and the accompanying family members had to say goodbye and prepare to leave.

And Zhao Huan and Wen Yu, who had already left one step ahead, slowly marched towards the palace surrounded by the Imperial Guards and palace attendants. The secret letter repeatedly stated that the safety of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces must be guaranteed, and she dared not slack off in the slightest.

When he was about to reach Dacheng Gate, a group of soldiers dressed in the same armor as those outside Zhaohou's mansion and armed with torches rushed out and immediately surrounded the empress dowagers of the two palaces.

Wen Yu was startled by Luanjia's sudden stop, and quickly called the palace attendant to ask what happened, only to hear the palace attendant say that they were surrounded by a group of unknown private soldiers on their way out and their way out.

Seeing that the queen mother wanted to go out, the steward Dian who was waiting in the car hurriedly stopped her and said, "I want to report to the queen mother, it is too dangerous to go out at this moment, and I ask the queen mother to put her own safety first."

After hearing what the palace attendant said, Wen Yu immediately stopped thinking about going out, but she was worried about the empress dowager in front of her, "Come here, how about going to see the empress dowager?" ordered to leave.

Just as the servants left, the besieging soldiers and the internal guards had already fought. Mulan Yu, who was shadowing in the dark, fired a signal similar to fireworks, and then sent people to check Simen and Zhaohou's mansion, and then Only then did he bring people into the battle.

The sound of shouting and killing outside and the sound of weapons colliding reached Wen Yu's ears, "Pass down the order of the palace, let the deputy commander arrange for someone to break out of the siege and notify the foreign imperial army to come to help, the internal imperial army must do their best to protect the empress dowager, go down and pass the order "Wen Yu finished speaking heavily, as if she had been weighed heavily on her body. Since Shi Min moved to the Royal Garden Villa, she has managed not only the harem, but also the outside affairs.

She didn't expect to be chased and intercepted when she came out to attend a banquet. If she could have thought of it earlier, she would never have let such a thing happen. Now that it has happened, she can only do her best to keep one of them alive.

Seeing the empress dowager's dignified expression, the steward of codes who wanted to say something didn't open his mouth. After saluting, he got out of the carriage to deliver the order. There was already a mess outside, and many torches and lanterns fell on the ground. The people were so frightened that they all surrounded Luanjia, and those who held lanterns in their hands, the lights were shaking. ?
