Looking at the plum blossom tree, Jiang Ling thought to himself that it was true.

Although I had already guessed that this matter was not that simple, when I saw the plum blossom tree, my heart still skipped a beat.

The little eunuch in front had already stopped in his tracks, called Jiang Ling, and said, "Concubine Yun, please take a seat." After speaking, he took a half step back and stood next to Jiang Ling's seat, just blocking Jiang Ling's way to go.There were three or four palace maids bowing their knees and saying in unison, "My maidservant, please greet Master Yun." They also blocked Jiang Ling's way.

Jiang Ling turned around and took a look, her two nuns were stopped outside, their expressions were very anxious.

The maid at the head straightened up, stepped forward to hold Jiang Ling's arm, and said respectfully: "Master, please take a seat."

The following maids, as well as the little eunuch who led her over just now, also looked at her together, if Jiang Ling was a little abnormal, they would go to the front to block her way.Jiang Ling smiled, gently pushed the maid to hold her hand, and said slowly: "I'm not used to being served by strange maids. Let my mother and maids come over, you step aside."

After speaking, he glanced at the maid in charge, with a hint of warning.

The leading lady paused for a moment, in front of so many people, naturally she couldn't let Jiang Ling get off the stage, and stepped aside reluctantly.

The two nuns brought by Jiang Ling, the female officer left by the empress dowager, and the nun left by Kangxi in her palace, a total of four people walked up to Jiang Ling, and one of them held her arm. , the remaining three blocked other people's eyes, and helped Jiang Ling to the seat.

"and many more."

Jiang Ling suddenly made a sound, and his fingertips caressed the soft couch on the chair one by one, and a tiny ray of energy spread to the chair.After a while, a needle as thin as a cow's hair floated up, and then slowly fell to the ground, without even the slightest sound.

Even if they were not stupid enough to poison them on the spot, at least they would make a fool of themselves in public if they were pricked with a needle point.

Jiang Ling quietly blocked the thin needle and sat down on the chair.She couldn't let others see this thing, otherwise she couldn't explain to others why the thin needle would involuntarily float up when it saw her, as if she had seen a ghost.

These abilities are his last trump card.

Jiang Ling put his hands on the soft pillow and glanced at the others from left to right.The empress dowager and the empress dowager have not yet arrived, their seats are sitting high above, and the empress dowager's seat is slightly inferior.Then came the position of imperial concubine, and then Huiyi Derong's fourth concubine.But Jiang Ling's position happened to be separated from them by an aisle, in the middle of the nobleman Chang Zai, far away from others.

But none of this really matters.What is fatal now is the plum blossom tree in the shape of a phoenix in front of him.

Jiang Ling glanced down again, the concubines were divided into three groups, headed by Princess Yu, Princess Beijing, and Prince An Shizi, Lin Daiyu followed beside Princess Beijing without moving a single step.The nanny who had just followed from the Beijing Prince's Mansion also followed Lin Daiyu, blocking her eyes from the other side of the aisle.

On the other side of the aisle below are the imperial wives of the princes, lords, and clan families.Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing are also among them.Jiang Ling glanced briefly, and found that Xue Baochai and Wang Xifeng were also there, as were the three girls Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, but because he was sitting far away, the girls over there were sitting sideways, so it took a long time It took a lot of effort to find it.

Jiang Ling withdrew his gaze, landed on the plum blossom tree in front of him, and smiled inadvertently.

It's a crime to conceive Bi.

She pointed to the leading maid just now, and asked, "Are you in charge here? Come here, I have something to ask you."

The maid in the lead walked up to Jiang Ling, lowered her eyebrows, as if listening to Concubine Yun's instruction.

Jiang Ling stroked the tea cup in front of her, and said slowly: "I accept your master's kindness, but you who arrange the seats, you can't bring trouble to your master. Look at this time." She Raising his finger and pointing around, he said again, "Who arranged this time? If you are stabbed into the respect room or the House of Internal Affairs, you will all be punished."

"Yun...you..." The maid at the head gave Jiang Ling a hard look, and slandered, if you hadn't been able to evade it again and again, why would we have worked so hard to arrange the seats.This time it's good, you're far away from them, and I'm not happy anymore.

Jiang Ling glanced at the eyes of the head maid, and said with a faint smile, "Your anger is too obvious."

The leading maid paused and knelt down in front of Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling continued: "Although I don't know who it is, I want you to place my seat far away. But if the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, or the chief eunuch, or the eldest aunt in charge, as long as there is one person I found out, is it me, your master, or you who will be punished? Here, I am a guest." This fault will most likely fall on them.

The face of the maid at the head changed, and her expression seemed to be a little loose.

Jiang Ling smiled again and said: "I sympathize with your master's thoughts, because I have a body, so it is not easy to gather with everyone, in case of any accident, your master will also be responsible. That's it, you take my seat , lined up behind Empress Concubine Rong, also separated by a long distance, but no one will say a word. What do you think?"

The leading lady's expression softened, she looked up at Jiang Ling, and thought for a moment.

Jiang Ling still sat there with an expression of "I'm doing it for your own good".

After a long time, the leading maid said: "Concubine Yun, please wait a moment, let's ask the aunt in charge." Then she left.In fact, Yunbin was right, it didn't matter where she sat herself, but if the person arranging the seats made a slight mistake, it would be a disaster.Although they were ordered to keep Concubine Yun at the flower viewing feast at all costs, the people above did not say where Concubine Yun was going to sit.If Concubine Yun was caught by him, and she didn't have to be scolded, that would be the best thing.

The head maid quickly found the aunt in charge and settled the matter.

After a while, the court lady hurried back to move Jiang Ling's place.

Jiang Ling smiled faintly: "Thank you." She stood up with her hand supported by Nanny, and followed them to sit behind Concubine Rong.As for the original seat, of course it was withdrawn.Only a pot of plum blossoms was placed there alone, and there was no one around.

The nuns lowered their voices and asked, "Why did the master suddenly change seats?"

Jiang Ling pointed to the pot of plum blossoms, and said in a low voice, "It is imperative to be on guard against others. Who knows what is the purpose of that thing lying at my feet. Did you see that, they used flower pots, Obviously, they moved the thing after the seats were arranged. Now that I have changed seats, they naturally can’t move the flower pot to my feet, otherwise there will be no silver 300 taels here.”

She glanced at the seat above, and she saw Baoqin's sudden change of expression.

Baoqin stuck to Jia Yuanchun's ear and said a few words.

Jia Yuanchun glanced at Jiang Ling's original seat, and his expression also changed.

"Mother is right, she is really slippery." Jia Yuanchun glanced down, frowned and said, "Go and inform your mother that Concubine Yun has arrived, but she has changed places. Let mother Remember, the most important things today are the second and fourth younger sisters, as well as Baoyu's daughter-in-law. Concubine Yun can do whatever she wants. Go ahead."

Baoqin left in a hurry.

Seeing the movement of holding the piano, Jiang Ling nodded secretly, thinking that he must have guessed right.

After waiting for two or three quarters of an hour, the Empress Dowager came to the banquet with her trusted nuns and maids.Jiang Ling stood up following the concubine Rong in front, slightly bent his knees, and saluted the Empress Dowager.As soon as the nuns were about to help her up, she shook her hand and performed all the etiquette, then stood quietly behind Concubine Rong, at least three to forty meters away from others.

The plum blossom tree in the shape of a phoenix was still quietly placed in place, and no one moved.

Not far away, an inexplicable line of sight swept towards Jiang Ling.Jiang Ling looked over there, it was the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager looked at her from a distance, her eyes were quite complicated, her eyes stayed on her for a moment, and then fell on her lower abdomen.

At the same time, Concubine De, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Hui, who were seated in front of Concubine Rong, all turned their heads and looked at Jiang Ling with more or less deep meaning in their eyes.Jiang Ling glanced at their eyes one by one, and slowly clenched his sleeves tightly.

Yipin retracted her gaze and still stood facing the Empress Dowager, as if nothing was on her mind.

Concubine Hui smiled coldly for a moment, then looked away.

On the contrary, Debi's eyes also fell on her lower abdomen, looked at her quietly for a long time, and suddenly let out a chuckle.

"Hong, Men, Yan..." Concubine Rong read these three words slowly with a barely audible voice.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived—"

The eunuch's high-pitched voice broke the deadlock. All the people present, together with the Empress Dowager who had just arrived, bowed to the ground in the direction of the Empress Dowager to salute.The Empress Dowager supported Aunt Su Ma's hand, walked down from the chariot, raised her hand slightly, and said, "Sit. Today is not a formal palace banquet, so there is no need to be polite. You should just keep to yourself. Su Moer, help me over there."

Aunt Su Ma held the hand of the Empress Dowager and sat down on the highest seat.

The rest of the people also attended separately.After all the people above were seated, Jiang Ling reached out to the nuns and was helped to his seat by them.According to the routine just now, Jiang Ling stroked it lightly again, and only got up and sat down when he saw that there was nothing wrong.

Then, the concubines, Fujin, concubines, and wives below walked up to the Empress Dowager one by one, and saluted the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.There are also some young concubines who even brought Xiao Shizi over to try to make the Empress Dowager happy.The Empress Dowager saw them one by one, her expression relaxed a lot.

And the empress dowager next to her was also a little happy.

After all the concubines had finished their visits, there were two big maids, holding the plum tree, and came forward, inviting the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and all the ladies present to enjoy it.This thing was presented by the Rongguo Mansion, so Jia Yuanchun naturally took it upon himself to introduce it, and praised this phoenix-shaped plum tree as the only one in the sky and the only one in the world.

"When my father first saw this tree, he thought that only the Empress Dowager could be the owner of this tree." Jia Yuanchun said, "So at the beginning, my father wanted to dedicate it to the Empress Dowager, but..."

The Empress Dowager slightly raised her hand to stop her words: "I told you last time, you just keep it in your house."

Jia Yuanchun lowered his head and said, "Don't dare." He continued, "This plum tree is like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying high in the snow. A glance. Oh, of course.” Jia Yuanchun saluted the Empress Dowager and said, “If the Empress Dowager doesn’t accept it, then——” Her eyes fell on the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Don't ruin the life of the Ai family." If the Empress Dowager refused to accept her, she would not be able to accept it even more.

Jia Yuanchun wondered: "This...how can this be done."

An old nanny next to her smiled and said, "Your lord, let me say something more to this old slave. In the whole world, the one who can be called a phoenix spreading its wings is undoubtedly the one who holds the seal of the phoenix." The female of Fengyin is only the queen.

Jia Yuanchun gave an appreciative look, then knelt down towards the empress dowager, hesitantly said: "This, this..."

The Empress Dowager also glanced at the Empress Dowager, as if she was asking the Empress Dowager for instructions.

The Empress Dowager pinched the teacup in her hand hard, and then slowly released it.

"The reasoning is not bad." The Empress Dowager said, "The only person who can be called a phoenix spreading its wings is the one who holds the phoenix seal. But now I don't hold the phoenix seal, and the queen mother doesn't hold the phoenix seal either. The small seal is still there." The emperor keeps it in his hand. If you don't want to stay in the mansion, then this plum blossom tree can only be given to the emperor himself."

With a few words, he threw a hot potato on Emperor Kangxi.

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and couldn't help but turn around, with an uncontrollable smile in his eyes.

In the whole world, the empress dowager was the only one who dared to throw the hot potato to Emperor Kangxi.Thinking about it, he was pretty poor.

Just smiled secretly for a while, then heard the Empress Dowager say again: "Your complexions are so pale, are you sick? If you caught the wind and cold because of the heavy snow yesterday, then Su Moer, go to the Tai Hospital to ask Ask, how do they ask for the pulse of the masters, and why they have not performed the pulse checks every day, even if the masters contracted the cold at the same time."

The surroundings fell into silence for a moment.

After a long time, La Aunt Su Ma's calm voice sounded: "Lead Yizhi."
