Nothing happened on the first night of entering the palace in the northern suburbs, and Shen Nanzhi slept very peacefully, the only thing was that the legendary pearl county lord never showed up. Yulu said that the lord of Xu is Mingzhu County does not like the Chunxi Palace, and it is possible to change places to live.

The first night was spent peacefully, although most of them were sons of the clan, but the royal family has multiplied for so many generations, there are more than a dozen princes alone, all of them are cousins, but the communication on weekdays is not very close, especially there are many clans from Tiannan and Haibei - most of the princes have been sent to places outside the capital early.

There are not many people who know each other, so naturally they are quite restrained on the first day, and on the second day after entering the palace, people gradually begin to move around during the day.

But there is nothing big happening on this day, only a group of eunuchs and palace maids took the mage of Wanhua Temple to set up a small Buddha hall next to the palace, it is said that it is the meaning of Concubine An, originally before everyone entered the palace has begun to operate, but to the rest of the day there are still so many places that have not been done, to everyone in the day do not forget to serve the Buddha sincerely, with their own sincerity to influence the heavens.

Some important palaces also did a ritual when they set up the Buddha hall, but for example, Shen Nanzhi did not get much attention here, and even the master who came to invite the Buddha was still a young novice.

After the establishment was completed, it was already afternoon, Shen Nanzhi went to the Buddha hall with curiosity and reverence, and was looking at the small incense burner in the Buddha shrine with a white jade exquisite double dragon spitting beads in the dead corner, the incense smoke on the stove, and the silver tray with this gilt flower pattern on the table in front of her was offered to these fresh fruits, and she knelt down on the futon after she walked in.

Shen Nanzhi has never learned how to worship the Buddha, but for so many years, he has occasionally followed Shi Shi to worship and worship the Buddhist scriptures every year, and now he feels that he has to be serious when he looks at the solemn appearance in front of him, so he bows respectfully to the front: "Yuan Tian blesses my mother's health and blesses Nanzhi's trip to the palace safely......"

At this moment, Lilac and Yulu walked in, and when they saw Shen Nanzhi so careless, they couldn't help but smile at each other, Yulu stepped forward and said softly: "Fourth girl, there is a big banquet tonight, but even the emperor has specially rushed from the palace, we should also go and prepare!" ”

Today is the first day of the blessing begins, and the emperor, as the Son of Heaven, naturally wants to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the hearts of everyone, so in order to make the month-long blessing activities go smoothly, he naturally wants to personally boost morale and express concern.

Shen Nanzhi nodded, and went out with the two.

It was only in the evening that he cleaned up, and as soon as he went out, he saw Meng Xian standing outside looking at the pear blossoms in the yard, Xu heard the sound of Shen Nanzhi going out, so he turned his head and walked over with someone: "Sister Nanzhi, you are good, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

"Sister Meng has been waiting outside? Lilac, why don't you go in and talk to me! Shen Nanzhi felt a little sorry, "I'm sorry, Sister Meng, they didn't tell me, I was still early in the time, and I didn't worry......"

"Well, it's okay, it's okay, I actually just came out not long ago, and I saw that there was still a light in your room and I knew that you didn't leave, just like waiting for you to go to the Tianhe Hall together," Meng Xian had already affectionately grabbed Shen Nanzhi's arm, "Speaking of which, you dress so plainly every day, didn't the concubine reward you with a lot of gold and silver jewelry yesterday?" Why don't you take it out with you? ”

"The jewelry given by the concubine is too luxurious, and my clothes are all plain colors, and if they are mixed together and worn on my body, they will look out of place." Shen Nanzhi only smiled, took Meng Xian's hand and walked outside together.

If she really took it out, then she would be looking for death...... Not only will the emperor say that she came to pray for blessings, but she wants her big eyes to be gorgeous everywhere, but others will slander her own faults when they see it......

Walking all the way along the tall red wall, even the northern suburbs of the palace are also very gorgeous and solemn, and Meng Xian and Shen Nanzhi are dazzled along the way. From the harem to the Tianhe Palace, you have to pass through the Imperial Garden and move forward, it just so happens that the early flowers in the Imperial Garden are already in full bloom at this time, although it is not as splendid as the spring in April, but it is also much better than the dry and beautiful winter wax moon.

The two talked and laughed all the way, and saw a red soft sedan chair hanging with gold tassels and embroidered pictures intertwined with phoenixes walking on the side of the other road. The four sedan chair bearers were all wearing the costumes of the palace eunuchs, and the soft sedan chair was accompanied by a eunuch holding the dust, and a palace maid who was dressed more ornate than Yulu.

Yulu has been in the palace for a long time, and knows that the soft sedan chair is not something that ordinary people can ride, so she hurriedly pulled the two of them to salute together, Meng Xian and Shen Nanzhi remembered it, so they lowered their hems.

But I didn't want the soft sedan chair to stop in front of the two, only to see a white slender jade hand stretched out from inside to lift the curtain hanging by the window, revealing a woman with a jasper hair ornament inside.

The woman's melon seed face and apricot eyes, the bridge of the nose is not high, but on this face, it looks small jasper, a small cherry lip with a slight downward angle, and a little annoyance between the eyebrows.

"Which palace are you from? I look at the tightness of the face! The woman in the soft sedan said coquettishly, her tone was undisguised and arrogant, "I don't know that the palace people are not allowed to move around at will at the banquet tonight?" You don't have any rules. ”

"Fourth, fourth girl, this is the county lord of Mingzhu!" Yulu reminded in a low voice on the side, and hurriedly replied in a loud voice: "I have seen the lord of Mingzhu, and the slave maid is Yulu of Chunxi Palace, these two ...... It's not a subordinate in the palace, it's the third girl of the Earl of the Meng family and the second girl of the Shen family! ”

The county lord of Mingzhu snorted coldly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a disdainful smile: "Oh, it turns out that you two are from the Chunxi Palace?" I thought it was someone......"

This pearl county lord has a coquettish tone and is full of provocations, where could he accidentally "admit his mistake"? What's more, although Shen Nanzhi and Meng Xian are dressed plainly, they are much better than palace maids, and as soon as she opens her mouth like this, she will say that people are palace maids, which is inevitably too arrogant!

Meng Xian couldn't help being ridiculed the most, she lowered her head, and said respectfully: "The courtier Meng Xian has seen this lady!" ”

The pearl county lord was stunned, but Shen Nanzhi reacted suddenly, so he lowered his body again, and deliberately made a panicked look: "The courtier Shen Nanzhi has seen Niangniang, the two of us entered the palace in the northern suburbs for the first time, and we didn't know who we were driving, and we collided with Niangniang, and asked Niangniang not to be surprised......"
