In the evening, the two got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

Along the way, they met many carriages from aristocratic families, trying their best to compare with each other, and also showed the extravagant style of the Daqi family.

If a country is obsessed with extravagance, it is not far from the country's decline. It is no wonder that Wen Renchen can't get rid of these aristocratic families.

Soon they reached the gate of the palace, the two got out of the carriage, and walked towards the gate of the palace on foot like the others.

Neither of them is the kind of person who likes to be in the same limelight. They even wore the kind of clothes that are not very eye-catching to the banquet today, and they just don't want to get involved in this matter.

However, Su Mo didn't know that Zhuo Yan was able to stop crying at night and miraculously healed the poison of bone attachment. This time, he was made an earl by the emperor himself, which was the object of attention of various families.And Su Mo, as Zhuo Yan's righteous lord, this time was the first time he officially appeared in front of everyone, so more people looked at him openly and secretly.

The empress dowager's banquet is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary powerful families.

For today's plum feast, the Empress Dowager specially set the banquet in Qingxue Garden, where the plum blossoms are in full bloom, some are as white as jade, or as red as fire, with a faint fragrance floating in the air.

The two came hand in hand, and the people in the hall paused at the same time, and they all saw that the focus was on Su Mo.

The emperor and the empress dowager hadn't come yet, so they came early and chatted with acquaintances, and because Zhuo Yan was enshrined by the emperor a while ago, everyone couldn't make up his mind for a while, but they hesitated to move forward, which made the two of them It is very quiet around.

Because he didn't want to pay attention to the scrutiny, Zhuo Yan and Su Mo went outside to the garden and stood under a plum tree.

The pure white plum blossoms bloom quietly at night, and the palace lanterns in the distance cast a dim light, just like a room full of hazy light on the plum petals.

"This plum blossom blooms really well." As a person who doesn't know how to appreciate flowers, I also feel that the blooming of this flower is obviously the result of the gardener's careful care.

"En." Zhuo Yan agreed. To be honest, it didn't make much difference whether these flowers were good or bad, but Su Mo liked them, so he didn't hesitate to praise them.

Su Mo leaned against the plum tree and looked up at the palace. The queen mother had a blind date with the plum feast. Although everyone knew who the banquet was for, it didn't mean that other ladies and twins had no chance. up.

These wives brought their children of the same age with them early, and then let them make friends by themselves.

On the other hand, he chatted with the wives of other aristocratic families to inquire about the promising juniors.

The two sons of the Chen family, Chen Zhi and Chen Xu, also came, and as soon as they came in, they saw the two standing under the plum tree.

Chen Zhi's footsteps just slowed down, Chen Xu who was following behind did not expect to walk well, Chen Zhi would stop suddenly, and almost bumped into him.

Oops, "Brother, what's wrong with you? What are you doing when you walk well and stop?"

Chen Zhi didn't move or answer, just stared at that side with a gloomy expression.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Chen Xu poked his head out and looked over there, "Isn't that Zhuo Xianzhi? Could that person be his Zhengjun? She really is a beauty!"

Su Mo looked over sensitively, and saw the two brothers Chen Zhi standing in front of the hall, looking at them.

Seeing the smiles on Zhuo Yan's face from the two of them quickly condensed, and replaced by a layer of coldness, he stepped forward obliquely, blocking Su Mo behind him, and there was no warmth in his eyes from a distance .

Chen Xu shivered violently, hid behind Chen Zhi, and said in a low voice, "That evil spirit Zhuo Xianzhi, how did you provoke him?"

"You're thinking too much, what am I going to provoke him for no reason!" Chen Zhi didn't want to talk to Chen Xu about these things, so he casually brushed it off.

Chen Xu wanted to continue looking there, but was pulled by Chen Zhi, "What's so interesting, let's go!"

When Chen Zhi withdrew his gaze, he passed behind Zhuo Yan casually, with a deep smile on his lips, and pulled Chen Xu forward.

Zhuo Yan stared at Chen Zhi's back, thoughtfully, Su Mo stood beside him and saw him staring at Chen Zhi, "What's wrong? Is there any problem with him?"

At that moment just now, Zhuo Yan clearly sensed Chen Zhi's malicious intentions, but he couldn't see anything when he looked again, so he said, "It's okay."

It just so happened that the time was almost up, so Su Mo didn't continue to ask, and the two returned to the hall.

After the emperor and the queen mother came out, they said something routinely, and after sitting for a while, the emperor found an excuse and left.

Zhuo Yan was also not used to such occasions, and when the emperor left, he found an opportunity to escape from the palace.

As soon as he passed through the circular corridor, he saw Li Cheng standing in the shadow. When he saw the two of them, he immediately smiled and bowed politely, "I've seen Uncle and Su Zhengjun."

"Director Li!" Zhuo Yan said.

"You two, the emperor invites you." Li Cheng said with a smile.

The two looked at each other, not knowing why the emperor was looking for them at this time, so they said, "Please trouble Manager Li to lead the way."

The two followed Li Cheng around, and finally arrived at a pavilion. The pavilion was surrounded by curtains, and a brazier was burned inside.

The emperor sat inside, Sun Yi stood behind him, and two other court ladies stood in the corner without a sense of presence.

Since leaving last time, this is the third time Su Mo has seen Renchen. Although he is dressed in a dragon robe and dignified, it is different from the last time he entered the palace to thank him.At least the smile in his eyes can't lie.

"I've met the emperor." Wen Renchen said quickly, "I don't need these empty courtesy in private."

The two sat down as they said, and Wen Renchen personally held the pot and poured wine for them, "I buried this ten years ago when I left the capital, and I thought I would dig it up and have a drink with my friends when I returned to Beijing." It's a pity that the affairs are so complicated that I forgot for a while. The senior brother and the younger sister-in-law just tasted it."

He raised his glasses to the two of them, "Please!"

"Please!" Zhuo Yan Su Mo picked up the wine glass, and the three of them drank it down in one gulp.

Although Su Mo has been in the capital for some time, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and has never had the chance to see him again except for the last time he entered the palace to thank him.

Moreover, there is the Empress Dowager's eyeliner in the palace, and this time it is only by using the excuse of the Empress Dowager to hold a plum feast, that she can reminisce about the past in a fair and honest manner.

There are no outsiders here, and Wen Renchen no longer needs to hold his hand, and chatted casually with the two of them. Before he knew it, it was getting late, and Su Mo was already slightly drunk.

Zhuo Yan saw that his face was blushing and his eyes were blurred, Wen Renchen smiled and said, "Little sister-in-law can't drink well, you can send him back to rest first, we'll drink in another day."

Zhuo Yan helped Su Mo up and was about to leave when a young eunuch hurried over and whispered something in Li Cheng's ear.

Li Cheng's eyes changed slightly, and he said to him, "Go down!"

Wen Renchen said with an unhappy expression, "What happened?"

Li Cheng didn't dare to hide it, "Back to the emperor, there is a rumor from the front that the daughter of the Liu family has a private meeting with the son of the Wu family..."

"Private meeting?" The emperor sneered, Li Cheng's words were vague, and he knew what was going on, but he didn't expect these people to hold their hands so long.

Su Mo never thought that he could still hear such explosive news. He whispered next to Zhuo Yan, "Why are the guards in the palace so loose? Can such a thing happen under the nose?"

He thought he spoke very quietly, but he didn't know that everyone present could hear him clearly.

The two maids lowered their heads even lower.

The emperor's face darkened, "Let's go, follow me to see, who is so courageous?"

Zhuo Yan didn't want to get involved in these things at first, but there was Su Mo, who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and even acted like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Zhuo Yan felt helpless.

The emperor had already stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look together!"

A group of people headed towards an empty palace next to Qingxue Garden.

The voice of the eunuch who hadn't approached came from afar, "The emperor is here, kneel down to welcome him!"

All the people waited except for the Empress Dowager Chen, who all knelt down on the ground and looked at the vast expanse, "See Your Majesty."

"Excuse me." The emperor walked over, the Empress Dowager Chen was sitting on a chair, her face was livid, Liu Zhao'er was beside her, offering warm tea and stroking her back, and an old imperial doctor knelt on the ground for the Empress Dowager Acupuncture.

The emperor walked up and asked, pretending to be concerned, "How is the Queen Mother?"

The queen mother closed her eyes slightly and did not answer.

The imperial doctor carefully took off the silver needle, bowed and said, "Back to the emperor, the empress dowager just took a breath and rushed to her heart. After the minister gave the needle, there is no serious problem. The rest of the ministers will take a few more medicines and recuperate for a few days. good."

"it is good."

A eunuch had already brought the chair, and the emperor sat down and looked around, his tone filled with ice, "Tell me, what's going on?",

As soon as the emperor's words fell, everyone didn't dare to say anything. They had a good plum appreciation banquet, but this kind of thing happened. I wonder how the emperor will feel!

At this time, no one dared to touch the bad luck first.

Seeing the emperor's complexion getting darker, more and more people came out, "Let me tell you!"

"Tell me." The emperor's face softened a little in front of Wenren Lie.

Wen Renlian finally changed out of men's clothes today, and changed into a long blue brocade dress that only his daughter would wear. The corners of the skirt were gradually dyed like ink, and the palm-width girdle around his waist was embroidered with a darker color. The water ripples are dark, and there are two koi embroidered on it. This is the only bright color on her body, but it is like the finishing touch, elegant and noble.

When Second Master Wu saw Wen Renjie, his face turned pale, and he was even more flustered. Originally, this incident today was calculated by Li Renjie, but he didn't expect that Wen Renjie didn't get caught. Instead, his elder brother and the Liu family Thousands of gold got together.

Thinking of the appearance of the daughter of the Liu family, Second Master Wu only felt darkness in front of him.

Su Mo stood beside Zhuo Yan, squinting his drunken eyes slightly, and surveying the audience, he found that following the emperor's question, several people in the crowd became flustered.

He slightly leaned against Zhuo Yan's side, raised his chin slightly, "Who are those people?"

Zhuo Yan followed his line of sight, "He is from the Wu family. He was born as a general of the Wu family. On the surface, he is a member of the late emperor. When the late emperor was alive, he wanted to support the Wu family to replace the Guan family, but he did not expect the Wu family to be a The mud that can't be lifted. It's really in vain that I'm blind to that surname."

These words are really poisonous, but Su Mo expressed his liking, and Su Mo stroked his chin, "The expression of this Second Master Wu is very interesting!"

Zhuo Yan's eyes were cold, as if he saw through all the calculations at a glance, "It's just a clown!"

Wen Renli walked up to the emperor and bowed slightly, "Go back to the emperor, earlier everyone was enjoying the plum blossoms with the queen mother in the garden. Later, the second son of the Wu family said that his elder brother had disappeared. Because the first son of Wu drank too much wine, the second son Young Master was worried, so we all searched together, but when we found Young Master Wu, he was with Miss Liu."

Having said that, the emperor knew what was going on.
