After seeing each other on the Qiqiao Festival, the Hu family became more and more satisfied with Peng Fanjin. No matter what Peng Fanjin likes or what his temperament is, as long as he lives on the big face, he can be worthy of being the wife of the prince. rise.
Afterwards, the Duke of Wei also invited Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu brought Qin Yan to visit.
It is said that on that day Peng Fanjin brought two of his best friends to a gathering at home, and took another good look at Qin Yan, and that day Qin Wan happened to go to Prince Yi's mansion to give acupuncture, such a mistake could not follow Hu When the Hu family came back with Qin Yan, they saw a bright smile, which showed that the two families had the intention of getting married.
Qin Yan's mutual understanding was fruitful, and in a blink of an eye, it was the nineteenth day of the seventh month, when King Cheng got married.
Hou's mansion and Chengwang's mansion were at odds with each other, and there was a Qin Xiang in the middle. Zhongyonghou naturally wouldn't come to find him unhappy, but he really broke his face and lost his courtesy, so he sent the steward to give the gift, but he didn't go.
Qin Shu and his wife didn't go, so Qin Wan stayed away even more, and this day was also the anniversary of his family's death.
When Prince Cheng's Mansion was joyous and harmonious, Qin Wan was writing a sacrificial oration in the mansion. Her parents, including her former self, had no tombs, and she had nowhere to worship. to comfort.
After writing for half a day, Qin Wan just finished writing. Together with the incense paper money that Fuling had prepared in advance, they burned it in a corner of the backyard. It is unlucky to sacrifice to the dead on non-yearly festivals. Naturally, Qin Wan will not let Qin Shu and his wife know, Bai Ying Although He Fuling knew about it, he didn't know who Qin Wan was offering sacrifices to. After all, today is not the death anniversary of Qin Yi and his wife.
Fu Ling felt that she couldn't understand Qin Wan's thoughts long ago. This was the case in Jinzhou, and it was even more so when she returned to the capital. Later, Qin Wan took Bai Ying out for autopsy and other things. There is no resentment to arise, but now seeing who Qin Wan is sacrificing, she is just puzzled, but Qin Wan is silent, so she is not easy to ask.
It was already late at night after the sacrifice, Qin Wan thought about the last time he begged Qiao to leave Yan Chi for a few days, so he made up his mind to go to the palace the next day and visit Princess Taichang along the way.
Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Wan rode out in a carriage with the badge for entering the palace. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he happened to meet Cheng Wang and Feng Chenbi's carriage. To enter the palace to meet the queen mother.
There was an empty space in front of Zhengyangmen, and Qin Wan could not avoid the encounter of the carriage.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Feng Chenbi's voice came from the front, "Who am I, it turns out to be Princess Yongci."
When Qin Wan got out of the carriage, he saw Cheng Wang and Feng Chenbi standing outside the city gate with a group of servants.
Today, both of them wore high-rank uniforms. Cheng Wang Yanqi wore a prince's uniform embroidered with four-clawed coiled dragons, and Feng Chenbi wore a yellow-colored wide-sleeved palace dress embroidered with auspicious clouds and cranes. The woman's hair is in a bun, and the delicate and delicate beauty of the past is suppressed by today's dark palace attire, and she suddenly looks a little more dignified, but her small face is still white with more pearl powder, and the bright red Lipstick, the whole person looks imposing and vain, unable to support the fancy clothes.
Qin Wan blessed the body, "I pay my respects to King Cheng, and to Princess Cheng."
Yan Qi narrowed her phoenix eyes and waved her hand, while Feng Chenbi looked at Qin Wan coldly.
In the past, she didn't like Qin Wan stealing her limelight, but now when she looks at Qin Wan, there is a bit of inexplicable hatred in her eyes. Qin Wan hasn't seen this young lady for many days, and she doesn't know herself. Where to provoke her.
Feng Chenbi has always been arrogant and indulgent, Qin Guan naturally didn't care whether she hated it or liked it, got up and said, "Prince Cheng and Concubine Wang please go first." She didn't want to go with these two.
These two people should first worship the emperor, then the empress, and then the empress dowager, and she would have missed it if she went directly to Shoukang Palace. ? Exactly, we can pass."
What kind of kindness is Feng Chenbi doing? You still want to go with her
Qin Wan felt a little wary, and Yan Qi smiled and said, "We are going to the Shoukang Palace too. The emperor father and the queen mother are waiting at the Shoukang Palace today..."
Qin Wan said inwardly that it was bad, but it wasn't because he was afraid of the two of them, but because he didn't want to be with someone he didn't like.
"Since that's the case, my lord please go first..."
Qin Wan is a person who accepts courtesy. After saying this, Cheng Wang turned around with a smile and left.
He turned around and walked away without waiting for Feng Chenbi. Feng Chenbi was wearing heavy palace attire and naturally wanted to keep up with King Cheng, but after following for a short distance, not only was he exhausted and out of breath, but he was still far behind Yan Qi. Feng Chenbi gritted her teeth, but fortunately she didn't follow, she turned her head and looked at Qin Wan behind, she said she wanted to go together, in order to humiliate Qin Wan!
Now her identity is extraordinary!
Seeing that Feng Chenbi deliberately waited for him to take a step, Qin Wan knew that she had something to say. Sure enough, Feng Chenbi was supported by the servant girl, and said without looking sideways, "Speaking of which, the princess and I are related now."
If someone else hears this suddenly, I'm afraid they won't know why and ask why.
But Qin Wan knew it as soon as he heard it, so he smiled, "Princess Wangfei has a noble status, so naturally she won't be related to me."
Feng Chenbi smiled mockingly, "Oh? There is a concubine named Xiang'er in the palace. It is said that she is the daughter of the third wife of the Qin family. Logically speaking, she is the princess' cousin. Why? Has the princess forgotten? "
Qin Xiang couldn't pass this test, Qin Wan sighed, "I know this person."
Feng Chenbi sneered when she saw Qin Wan's nonchalant and nonchalant listening, "The dignified daughter of the Qin family actually turned herself into a concubine, and Princess Yongci was so arrogant. The Qin family is really well educated, no wonder Will raise that lowly daughter."
Qin Wan smiled, not annoyed at all, "On the first day of marriage, the concubine cared so much about a concubine. Could it be that she knew that it was King Cheng who loved Qin's daughter wholeheartedly, and Shanghou's family forcibly took her away?"
Feng Chenbi's complexion changed, and Qin Wan said, "These are the princess's family affairs. Qin Wan didn't care about it. The princess is so eye-catching and tells people everywhere, but it seems that the princess can't be loved by the king. She even had a concubine before she entered the door. , the concubine must have no honor on her face, and besides, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong at the beginning. Even though King Cheng is a noble man, the matter of forcibly taking the daughter of the Qin family broke out. Presumably the emperor will not praise it. The concubine still cherishes better."
Feng Shenbi originally wanted to follow Qin Xiang to humiliate Qin Wan, but she didn't expect that Qin Wan not only didn't care, but also poked her sore spot with a few words, saying that the emperor wanted to pursue Yan Qi, and Feng Shenbi couldn't tell the difference, and immediately felt suffocated In the bottom of my heart, I can't get up and down, "You...you...it's obviously that cousin of yours who is willing to degrade and seduce the king!"
"The incident happened in the Weishan hunting ground. His Royal Highness Cheng Wang didn't want to imitate his ancestors in hunting for the top prize. He even forcibly took over the courtier's daughter under the eyes of the emperor. The princess really wants to part with me? Do you want to part ways in front of the queen mother and the emperor later? ?”
Qin Wan turned her eyes to look at Feng Chenbi, with a bit of coldness in her eyes, which made Feng Chenbi tremble. She never knew that Qin Wan, who also looked gentle and graceful, had such sharp eyes!
"You and I… "
Although Feng Chenbi is arrogant, she is an embroidered pillow. How can she stand up to it? Qin Wan has a completely different status now. Those who humiliate the Qin family, how can they say it in front of the queen mother and the emperor, not to mention that the queen mother and the emperor will not help him, he will be the king, I am afraid that he will be the first to think he is troublesome. Treat her well according to the etiquette, but she couldn't hold back from asking that bitch of the Qin family under the urgency, Cheng Wang's face suddenly changed, and the good wedding night was ruined like this!
Feng Chenbi hated Qin Xiang very much, and before he came, he remembered to use tricks on Qin Xiang. He met Qin Wan first, and wanted to humiliate Qin Wan, but he didn't expect to hit a snag.
The corners of Feng Chenbi's lips were pursed tightly, and she didn't say another word.
The surroundings became quiet, and Qin Wan's heart felt at ease. Qin Xiang was in a cocoon, and she had nothing to do. Now that Feng Shenbi came to quarrel, she would naturally not show weakness, but it was too much. I'm afraid Qin Xiang will suffer.
Cheng Wangzhengfei, and the niece of the noble concubine, it is too easy to do something to a concubine's room.
Qin Wan sighed, unable to do anything, and had no intention of pity Qin Xiang.
All the way to Shoukang Palace was safe and sound, and when he walked to the gate, King Cheng remembered to wait for Feng Shenbi, the guard of honor of the emperor and empress was parked at the gate of the palace, and he could tell at a glance that everyone inside had arrived.
Qin Wan was a step behind, and when Cheng Wang and his wife entered, Qin Wan then entered the gate of Shoukang Palace, but did not go to the main hall. Now that Cheng Wang and his wife were seeing the ceremony, it was naturally inappropriate for her to go.
Just about to wait outside the hall, Madam Su hurried over from the side, probably to report to the Queen Mother, but she saw Qin Wan outside, and immediately came forward to salute, Qin Wan saw that her face was full of anxiety , hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Mammy?"
Su Momo's face was anxious, "Princess, His Highness Ninth Prince is gone!"
Qin Wan frowned, "Why didn't you disappear? Didn't you look at him?"
Su Momo was about to cry, "Your Highness was sleeping, but this servant didn't look at her, but after going out for a while and then went back, she found that His Highness was gone. This servant thought she was out to play or came to the Empress Dowager's place, but she just asked about it." I circled around, but there was no one there, and the servants went back to look around, but everyone said they didn't see His Highness."
"Didn't see His Highness? There are so many people guarding..."
Su Momo smiled bitterly, "The princess doesn't know something, His Highness can run out by himself from time to time, and he doesn't know where to find a way to get out, the servant is worried about him, and is planning to report to the Queen Mother, and then let the empress appoint some people to go out to find His Highness .”
Qin Wan pondered for a while, "King Cheng and Concubine Wang have just entered the main hall, so I will go out to find him first, and you can also send a few young maids to visit the places he often goes to. Just say something to the Empress Dowager and let her not take it." in a hurry."
Su Momo quickly thanked her gratefully, and Qin Wan took Bai Ying out of the Shoukang Palace again.
After leaving the palace gate, Qin Wan went straight to the imperial garden. She remembered seeing Yan Sui playing alone on the corridor near the imperial garden last time. On that day, she happened to see Feng Lingsu disposing of the palace maid.
If Qin Wan was a normal child, he wouldn't be so worried, but Yan Sui doesn't like to talk, and if something goes wrong, he might not cry too much, which is especially worrying.
Going along the palace road all the way to the Imperial Garden, it was still early and there were no people coming and going, so it was even more difficult for Qin Wan to ask if he saw Yan Sui. Qin Wan walked far away, and was a little anxious, thinking again, Yan Sui Sui Mo is not hiding somewhere, or is still in Shoukang Palace at all...
Thinking of this, Qin Wan slowed down a bit. At this moment, two palace servants walked up to them, talking in a low voice. When Qin Wan saw the two of them, he hurriedly asked, "Have you ever met?" Past the Ninth Highness?"
When asked such a question, the expressions of the two servants changed slightly, but they did not immediately deny it.
Qin Wan knew at a glance that the two had seen Yan Sui, "Where is His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
The two palace servants recognized Qin Wan and did not dare to be presumptuous. One of them said in a low voice, "The servants did see His Highness the Ninth Prince just now...he...he seems to have gone to Yongning Palace..."
Yongning Palace! Qin Wan remembered that this was the palace where Concubine Jin lived before her!
No wonder these two people looked weird... Yan Sui ran back to Yongning Palace by himself? !
After Concubine Jin's accident, Yongning Palace was considered one of the taboos in the palace, and Yan Sui ran back like this for some reason.
Qin Wan didn't want to talk to the two of them, so he asked for directions and went to find Yan Sui.
Yongning Palace is located in the northwest of the Inner Palace. The location is originally secluded. Concubine Jin entered the palace late, so the palace with a good location naturally could not fall on her head, but this did not affect her favor. She is the only one who has been separated from the imperial concubine for many years. The beloved concubine, it is no wonder that many people later suspected that Concubine Jin was killed by her.
Qin Wan walked out panting, and when he reached Yongning Palace, he saw that the palace gate had already been locked.
In the past, Yongning Palace lived with His Majesty's most beloved concubine, what a splendid splendor, but now, Concubine Jin died a year ago, not only the palace gate is closed, but the vermilion paint on the palace gate has long been mottled, and the lintel is covered with cobwebs. , in this late summer season, it was especially bleak and desolate. Qin Wan looked around, but couldn't find Yan Sui.
Qin Wan frowned, and Bai Ying said, "Miss, is it possible that His Highness the Ninth Prince hasn't come here at all?"
Qin Wan shook his head, and walked around the outer wall of Yongning Palace towards the back of the palace pavilion. Yongning Palace is located in a secluded location, and now it is deserted and empty, and the surrounding area feels desolate. Qin Wan walked around the palace, and the more he walked, the more barren it became. After a while, he came to another Yimen.
This Yongning Palace occupies quite a large area. Apart from the main entrance, there is also a ritual gate connected to the imperial garden. At this moment, Qin Wan is standing outside this ritual gate. The main gate is locked, and this ritual gate is naturally closed. , and Yan Sui, a small figure squatting outside the old door covered with blue moss and vines, because it is hidden by the nearby green plants, if you don't look carefully, you can't even see that there is someone squatting there, Qin Wan I feel a little sad...
"Your Highness Ninth Prince?" Qin Wan called softly, Yan Sui turned around and looked over.
Seeing that it was Qin Wan who came, Yan Sui's expression was calm, but he didn't say anything, he just turned around quietly, fiddled with something on the ground, Qin Wan walked over a few clumps of weeds up to the height of his calf and walked to Yan Sui When he came, he saw that Yan Sui was holding a branch in his hand, digging a hole in the ground, and he was burying a small cloth bag in the hole.
