"That's natural." The young man smiled and turned his head, having returned to his natural state. "The regent seeks allies. In addition to publicly receiving Tiansheng's envoys, he also has secret contacts with you and me. Now that the envoys are in Beijing, He will definitely hold a banquet at Changping Palace. I think it would be better for you and me to let the regent conceal his identity and go there too, and take this opportunity to find out the true identity of this Tiansheng envoy?"
Jin Siyu glanced at the young man a little strangely, thinking that since it was a secret activity, the less he appeared in front of the Tiansheng envoy, the better. Since he had a grudge with Wei Zhi, he would have to go in front of her. , but this man was a stranger to Wei Zhi, and he was always smart and clever. This suggestion was a bit unreasonable, but he seemed to have ulterior motives.
It was just him who was thoughtful, so he smiled and said: "Okay."
Two people, each with their own hidden agenda, looked at each other and smiled.
In the distance, Feng Zhiwei, who was entering the hall, suddenly shivered.
Master Gu immediately put a cloak on her with a discerning eye. Feng Zhiwei grabbed the corner of the cloak and looked in the direction of the towering palace city. She squinted at the slowly approaching low haze clouds and said softly: " The wind is blowing..."
On the second day after entering the city, the regent held a banquet in Changping Palace to wash away the dust of Tiansheng Lai. That night, Changping Palace was decorated with lanterns and colored red carpets for ten miles.
It was night, Feng Zhiwei took Gu Nanyi and Gu Zhizhi to eat for free. Before leaving, she packed a bag, took out something, looked at it for a while, and stuffed it into her arms.
The carriages and horses rolled towards the palace city. At the end of the ten-mile red carpet, hairpins and tassels gathered together. When Tiansheng's envoys arrived, all the officials looked back, and the penetrating voice of the **** in charge of ceremony pierced the night sky filled with fireworks.
"Tian Sheng Zhongyi Marquis, with the rank of General Wuwei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Zhi, Master Wei has arrived..."
The Changpyeong Palace at night is a splendid scene. The crimson tasseled palace lanterns meander all the way from the front entrance to both sides of the road. From a distance, they look like pearls from the sky falling from the Milky Way. Those flowers with especially soft and gorgeous petals are on both sides of the road. The flower beds on the side are blooming with beauty, and are illuminated by the shadows of lamps.
Changping Palace is not an inner court. It is a palace given by the Emperor of Xiliang to the regent, the pillar of the imperial court. It is located on the side of the imperial city. It occupies a vast area and has a grand structure. It is not much worse than the imperial palace. The people of the south are strong and open-minded. Tiansheng Palace, which has a more solemn atmosphere, is completely different. Along the way, palace maids and chamberlains shuttled back and forth. They only avoided the road and bowed to people when they saw them. From time to time, there were sweet laughter, like the thin and rippling water of the blue water, which made people lose a bit of restraint. A little more comfortable and relaxed.
The banquet was held at the flower pavilion in the main hall, with several tables and dozens of tables lined up. Feng Zhiwei was naturally the first guest on the left. What was rare was that Gu Nanyi and Gu Zhizhi were arranged to take a seat next to her. Obviously this is against the rules, but it can also be seen that the regent is well-informed, has meticulous arrangements, and is not a pedantic and formal person. Feng Zhiwei is not modest, and raises his glass with a smile in the distance, secretly expressing his gratitude to the regent.
The man above received her look and smiled kindly. His eyes paused on Gu Nanyi for a moment, and then he looked back calmly.
At this time, the etiquette officers outside the hall welcomed the guests, and music was played in the royal music square in front of the hall. After the guests and hosts were seated, the regent raised a toast with a smile, and all the officials greeted the guests, congratulating Tiansheng who came from afar. Feng Zhiwei returned the greeting, After a lot of red tape, Mr. Gu and his daughter waited impatiently until they started eating.
The father and daughter immersed themselves in the table and ate fiercely, regardless of whether this kind of banquet was suitable for eating. After a while, Gu Zhi’s belly was full, and she immediately began to be unable to sit still, twisting in her father’s arms. He twisted and twisted and looked around, and suddenly heard a "shhh" sound.
Gu Zhizhi turned around and saw a child's head suddenly appeared from behind a hidden screen in the corner of the hall, winking and making faces at her.
Miss Gu's eyes immediately lit up, but she didn't respond. She turned her head seriously, took a few more bites, and then said to her father: "I'm full, I need to pee."
The young master of the Gu family was very attentive in everything he did, and he didn't pay attention to the "shh" sound in a childish voice. He casually picked up his daughter and pushed her to the side while studying a strange-looking insect dish.
Gu Zhizhi has been going to the toilet by herself since she could walk. At first, a maid accompanied her, but later she didn’t even want a maid, and she never fell into the toilet. Feng Zhiwei and Gu Nanyi have always been laissez-faire in educating their children, so Gu Nanyi had no intention of accompanying her daughter to the toilet.
On the other hand, Feng Zhiwei saw it and knew that the little guy was going to the latrine. He was worried that he would get lost because he was unfamiliar with this place, so he pointed a maid to follow him.
Gu Zhizhi staggered out of the palace door with the maid. After walking a few steps, he suddenly pointed to the left and said in surprise: "Oh! Thief!"
The maid turned her head in surprise, but saw nothing. When she turned back again, the little girl was gone.
The maid was frightened and did not dare to say anything for a while, nor did she dare to go back to the palace to disturb such a grand occasion. She had to recruit a few maids she had made friends with and slowly searched in the huge palace.
As soon as she walked away, a small body slowly rolled out from under the railing of the corridor. The young lady of the Gu family climbed out with a smile and wrinkled her nose in the direction of the maid's retreat.
She didn't run far at all, she just hid in the flowers under the corridor. The maid didn't expect that this ghost spirit was hiding under her nose, tricking her into fleeing.
Gu Zhizhi was riding proudly on the railing of the corridor, swaying his two short legs, and looking deeply into the distance. Behind him, a fat boy of six or seven years old crawled out, dragging two yellow dragons, his eyes full of stars. He looked at her with admiration and said, "You are so smart."
Gu Zhizhi pushed him disdainfully and said, "Silly boy, what are you doing?"
The little fat man wiped his nose with his sleeve and said with a smile: "My master saw you and wants to play with you. Come with me?" He came to pull her sleeve.
"Who is your master?" Gu knew whether he would buy it or not. He pulled back his sleeves and patted the non-existent dust, "Tell him to come to me, but I won't go."
"Big...big...big..." Suddenly another baby voice came out. It sounded younger than the little fat man, and his articulation was not clear yet. He shouted angrily, "Bold!"
As soon as Gu Zhizhi turned around, he saw a little kid in brocade robe standing behind him. He was about the same age as himself. His eyes were dark and he was trying to open his eyes wider. He glared at her fiercely and scolded her: " Be bold!"
