Royal banquets are actually very boring, everything has to be well-behaved, even conversations have to be kept down, including the successive performances in the hall, although they are wonderful, they are just like a formality.
During the period, the old emperor and the empress came once, said a few words, and left without watching a dance. It is roughly equivalent to today when I am the host, everyone eats and plays whatever they want, and all expenses are from the national treasury. buckle.
The old emperor's health is really getting worse day by day. If Li Yi guessed correctly, he must have forgotten who Liu Jimin was these few days, let alone the instructions from the Imperial Medical Office.
When encountering this kind of workaholic boss, the employees at the bottom will naturally not be too lazy. Above the Jingguo court, there is almost no such ethos of extravagance, prostitution, and passive sabotage.
After the old emperor left, the atmosphere in the hall visibly became active.
At this time, you can choose to continue watching songs and dances in the hall, chatting, or go out to relax and watch the lantern festival in the garden.
Tsundere Lolita took Yongning out to play, and Li Yi also stood up and walked outside.
Li Xuan hurriedly stood up and asked, "What are you doing?"
"It's so boring here, go out for a walk." Li Yi said casually.
Li Xuan also patted the front of his clothes and stood up and said, "Let's go together, it happens that I still have a lot to ask you about military rations."
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "What military rations?"
"How should the military rations be sealed and preserved?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked suspiciously, "You said that in the Xue residence that day."
"People who are worthless generally have a bad memory." Li Yi shook his head, "I forgot how to get military rations and stuff, keep them sealed, these... I don't understand."
After finishing speaking, he walked out leisurely.
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately chased after him, "Don't, think about it carefully, I will definitely remember it..."
…
…
There are actually more seats outside the hall, stretching out in a long way, more than ten dancers with water sleeves are flying around, moving around, with very graceful postures.
When Li Yi walked out the door, he saw a few acquaintances. The young master Qin and a few servants were sitting outside, freezing like dogs in the cold wind at night. Embarrassment, hatred, shame... appeared, and the expression was quite complicated.
Li Yi glanced at it and didn't look at it again. Playing with these guys didn't give him any sense of accomplishment.
He planned to go to Ruyi's side to have a look. The empress empress accompanied the old emperor over there just now, and it might be over there.
A group of imperial guards ran past them in a hurry, Li Xuan was worrying about how to cure Li Yi's amnesia, so he stopped one and asked, "What are you doing?"
The imperial guard said: "If you go back to His Royal Highness, the imperial concubine lost the bracelet in the palace, and now I will bring someone to investigate."
Li Yi was still amazed that a random guard knew Li Xuan. After being startled, he waved his hand and said, "Go and have a look!"
"Look at what?" Li Xuan asked curiously.
"Watch the fun."
…
"You two, you can't go in here." When Li Yi and Li Xuan walked outside the palace, they were stopped by two guards.
Li Xuan took out a sign from his waist, waved it in front of the guards, and said, "The imperial concubine lost her bracelet, and the Secret Service will assist in the investigation. If there is a major delay, can you bear the responsibility?"
"My lord please!"
The guards still recognize the brand of the general of the Secret Service Division. Although there are only women's family members inside and men are not allowed to enter, but at this moment, there is a special team of guards in front, and the secret service staff of course dare not stop it.
In Yingcui Hall, it was quiet at this moment.
Concubine Cui Gui looked at the broken bracelet on the ground, her face was livid.
A maid knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it's nothing to do with slaves. This bracelet fell out of her body just now."
The maid turned her head and pointed to the woman not far away.
All the ladies and ladies in the capital in the hall looked over. The woman stood there prettyly, with a very calm expression on her face.
What happened was very simple.
When women gather together, what they talk about is not of course national affairs, but women's topics.
For example, what kind of perfume has been launched by Ruyifang, regardless of age, it is popular for all ages; a few days ago, I spent a lot of money to buy a piece of jewelry, which happened to be in the clearance sale period, and it was worth the money; The rouge in this rouge shop is very good. After using it, I feel beautiful, and so on...
Just now the imperial concubine gave everyone a jade bracelet to watch. The jade bracelet is crystal clear and does not contain any impurities, it is extremely precious and rare.
As we all know, the Cui family stands behind the largest jewelry store in Jingguo. I am afraid that only Concubine Cui can produce jade bracelets of this quality.
However, everyone was passing it around and talking at the same time, and in the end they didn't know whose hand it was passed on to, but the jade bracelet disappeared strangely...
None of the people present admitted that the jade bracelet was in their hands. This jade bracelet is so precious that it is rare in the world. Concubine Cui Guifei should send someone to notify the guards. However, the guards hadn't arrived yet, so the maid hurried back When she was walking, she accidentally bumped into someone, and something slipped from the sleeve of the woman she hit and fell to the ground. It was Concubine Cui's jade bracelet.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone looking at the woman changed slightly.
Although the jade bracelet was good, the people present were all persons of status, so it was indeed a loss of status to do something like stealing.
What's more, the jade bracelet has been destroyed now, judging by Concubine Cui Gui's appearance, today's affairs may not be good.
"I remembered, the imperial concubine's bracelet seems to have been passed there just now." A woman said in a low voice.
"Who is this woman, I have never seen it before... The one next to her seems to be the eldest concubine of Prince Ning's family."
"That's Li Xianbo's wife. The perfume everyone uses is from her family..."
"At any rate, she is also the county magistrate's wife. How could she do such a lowly thing? It's really a shame."
…
…
Countless whispering voices came, and suddenly a figure slowly walked out from the crowd, looked at the maid and asked: "The imperial concubine and the other concubines are all here, what should I say, what should I not say, what can you do?" If you think about it well, don’t make half a lie.”
Seeing the silver-haired, weak-looking woman standing up, many people showed surprise on their faces.
Isn't the Chen family and the Li family deeply enmity? At this moment, why would the third lady of the Chen family stand up and speak for her
At this time, another person stood up and said: "Sister Liu and I have been talking here, and I can testify that she never touched the jade bracelet just now."
It would be fine if it was only Miss Chen Jiasan alone, now that even the eldest concubine of Ning Wang's family stood up to speak for her, the whispering voices in the venue became much quieter for a while.
"Everything I said is true." The maid stood up, pointed at the woman, and said, "Even if I have the courage, I wouldn't dare..."
Snapped!
A loud slap sounded in the hall, and the maid covered her face with disbelief.
The soft temperament of the silver-haired woman suddenly disappeared, and she looked at the maid with a sullen face, "Bold maidservant, majestic magistrate, you can slander at will!"
Miss Chen Jiasan has a gentle temperament. Because of the incident twenty years ago, most of the people present are aware of it, but they never thought that the gentle and gentle Miss Chen Jiasan would be so cold and stern.
