Pan'er summed it up, every time a palace banquet is held in the palace, it is always the same.
Standing on shifts, seeing the wife's congratulations, and attending banquets.
As for what happened to the men, Pan'er didn't know, but every time she hoped that the morning would be over soon, and she would be able to relax after finishing the shift.
In the afternoon, I went back to the palace to rest during my free time, and after asking about it, I found out that Emperor Jianping's place was not over yet, so Pan'er fell asleep. After sleeping for less than an hour, he woke up, dressed in a hurry and went to Ningshou Palace, when someone said that the good news came from the border, and His Majesty was very happy.
Ningshou Palace is adjacent to Changyin Pavilion, which is one of the largest theater buildings in the Forbidden City.
However, those who were tacitly allowed to come to Changyin Pavilion to listen to the opera at the palace banquet were all female relatives of dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing. When Pan'er arrived, Empress Dowager Fu was already there, besides Empress Chen, there was also a circle of wives around her.
A play was being performed on the stage, and most people were watching intently, so Pan Er quietly found a corner and sat down.
Because there were no serious occasions at night, Pan'er didn't wear auspicious clothes, but ordinary clothes. In addition, the gongs and drums on the stage were loud, so her sitting did not attract attention.
A court lady came up to serve tea, but asked to move her seat, Pan Er shook her head.
Just after taking a few sips of a cup of tea, a few wives nearby started gossiping.
Now this matter has been spread in the palace, because the good news was reported to the palace banquet, and it is probably known that His Majesty is in a bad mood these days because of the battle situation at the border, so he deliberately reported it to please.
Previously, Pan'er's so-called taking time to rest means that when people who are higher than her at the banquet leave, she also leaves. Either go back to rest, or change clothes, this is a custom in the palace, and the queen mother and ladies in the palace have this privilege, like other wives still have to wait for the palace banquet to run out.
It's like Empress Dowager Fu came earlier than Pan'er, but actually left the palace banquet not long after it started. Empress Chen left not long after Empress Dowager Fu left, and Pan'er was a little later than her.
Therefore, these wives have heard about it, but Pan'er's news came a little later.
It is said that the Jin men at the border not only raided Datong, but also raided Xuan Mansion, only because the casualties of Xuan Mansion were negligible, Beijing did not know about it.
The two important towns thought that the Jin people had just attacked them by surprise, so they set up heavy troops to guard against them, fearing that the Jin people would make a comeback. Unexpectedly, the other party shot a false shot, and they probably arranged spies in the pass. When they learned that Hu Bingcheng, the commander-in-chief of Datong, was seriously injured and unconscious, he secretly concentrated his troops to raid Datong again.
Datong already lacked a chief general, and because spies spread rumors secretly, people were panicked. Even if heavy troops were set up to guard against it, they were beaten enough by the Jinren. After all, they were outnumbered, so they thought that the opponent's troops were divided into two groups, but they all came to Datong, and they were caught off guard immediately.
At this critical moment, reinforcements came from Yulin Pass.
In fact, it was not a serious reinforcement, but when a guerrilla in Yulin led his cavalry to patrol the border, he found that the movements of the Jinren were different. This man was also very courageous, so he brought a few people under his command to follow behind.
When I arrived, I found that the situation was not right. It happened to be the time when the Datong garrison was beaten and retreated steadily. How could this man be brave? He didn't count how many people he had in his hands, whether he was his opponent, so he pretended to be reinforcements and attacked the Jinren from behind.
This surprise attack completely confused the Jinren, thinking that reinforcements had really arrived.
They were short of troops, so they made plans to attack Xuanfu and Datong, which seemed to be two real things, but actually one was false and the other was real. It may be that I used deceit, or maybe it was the people of Dazhou who used intrigues to deliberately lure the enemy into deep, but in fact they wanted to make dumplings for them.
He also thought that there would be Taiyuan after Datong, and if reinforcements came from Taiyuan again, the leading Jinren general would feel like retreating. After retreating for a lifetime, morale was low, and the team was broken up immediately. Although many golden men escaped, they were beheaded hundreds of levels, and this golden general was also captured alive.
Afterwards, it was a coincidence that this golden general was actually a little king.
That is, the son of the king, similar to the meaning of the prince.
This credit is not small, enough to wipe out Datong's previous defeat. No, probably... Knowing that the imperial court was very dissatisfied with the situation in Datong, they specially sent people to Beijing to offer prisoners.
This happened just a few days after the chief soldier Hu Bingcheng was seriously injured. It is estimated that the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to Datong has not arrived yet, and the news of the victory will be reported to Beijing.
The prisoner offering team will arrive in the capital in about half a month, and the good news is that the first to arrive in eight hundred miles. And the one who offered the captives was none other than that guerrilla. It is said that the prince of the golden man was also captured by that guerrilla.
This was just a casual chat between tea and dinner. Although Pan Er listened with great interest, he didn't think much about it. Soon someone found her sitting in a corner and called out to the imperial concubine, and then Queen Mother Fu heard her and told her to come over.
After they went there, they didn't say anything gossip, but Empress Dowager Fu blamed her for sitting alone in the corner, while Pan'er smiled shyly, saying that she didn't want to disturb the Empress Dowager and the ladies watching the play.
During the conversation, the ladies sitting on the side were watching Empress Dowager Fu and Pan'er intentionally or unconsciously, and of course Empress Chen, most of their eyes were on Pan'er.
It's not the first time I've seen this Concubine Su Gui, she can be called heavenly and beautiful, but she's not very beautiful, but she has been favored by His Majesty for so many years, she has been extremely favored since she was in the East Palace, but now she is very successful After becoming a noble concubine, even the queen will be overwhelmed by her.
Of course, no one said these words on the bright side, and even the eyes that looked at him were extremely subtle, making it impossible for people to notice. In the subsequent gossip, these thoughts were never revealed in words and deeds, and they treated Empress Chen and Pan'er with respect.
With Empress Dowager Fu present, the ladies sitting nearby are all elderly, so naturally they have nothing to say to the younger generation like Empress Chen Pan'er, these ladies are very stable. Until a eunuch suddenly came to Jingren Palace to announce the good news to Pan'er.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, my uncle has made great achievements in Datong, and it is said that he will go to Beijing to offer prisoners soon. As soon as the news was delivered to Jingren Palace, Sister Cattail and the others were not there, so the slave boldly came to report to the empress."
It was Xiao Tianzi who came.
It was Xiao Tianzi who was suppressed by Xiao Dezi and never showed up.
Paner also knew about this matter, so she subconsciously thought that someone had dug another hole for her, trying to make her look ugly in front of everyone, or some uncle had appeared somewhere.
She had a smile on her face, but stared at Xiao Tianzi, thinking about what to say in order to get over the situation in front of her. If someone deliberately tricked her, the other party must have a backhand, so how should she deal with it.
"Your Majesty is overjoyed, isn't it? The royal court's good news has been reported to His Majesty, there will be no mistakes."
Hearing His Majesty, Pan'er woke up.
Since Xiao Tianzi mentioned His Majesty, he must have meant something, and he didn't dare to know that helping others to harm him would be the end of death, and committing the crime knowingly.
At this time, someone nearby was whispering about Datong, offering captives, and guerrilla, and someone else took the initiative to explain to Queen Mother Fu.
As a result, there were more and more whispered discussions, and Pan'er heard someone say: "The guerrilla who made meritorious service seems to be surnamed Su, which is the same surname as the imperial concubine."
"I didn't pay attention to this..."
Pan'er hurriedly said: "What's the point of talking about this kind of thing in this kind of place, it doesn't have to disturb the Empress Dowager and all the ladies watching the play, don't hurry up."
Xiao Tianzi also realized that he had caused trouble, so he quickly kowtowed and went down.
Even so, afterward, many people asked about the things in the pan, and some people inquired about the size of the 'uncle', but there were marriages and the like, and the pan was vague, as if they didn't want to mention more. Stealing the limelight, in fact, even she herself was at a loss.
After finally dealing with this, Pan'er temporarily left the main building of Changyin Pavilion by going to clean the room.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Xiao Tianzi standing outside pretending to be a serving eunuch.
She led the cattails all the way to the clean room, Xiao Tianzi followed, entered the clean room, and Xiao Tianzi told the ins and outs.
It turns out that after Pan'er left, Fu Lu came, and Fu Lu ordered him to do this. It was also a coincidence that Xiao Dezi was not there at that time, so Xiao Tianzi snatched the job.
Otherwise, how could Xiao Tianzi have been suppressed by Xiao Dezi all the time? After all, he was almost there. He didn't know the details, and he didn't dare to ask. .
But Pan'er almost understood what was going on, and it seemed that Zong Cong got Su Hai to the border before she knew it.
for what
Naturally for her.
Maybe he made the arrangement when he was in Yangzhou, but he kept telling her about it.
Naturally she was happy, and at the same time, there was a kind of water vapor filling her eye sockets. Pan'er closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said: "Okay, I see, you go back first."
Xiao Tianzi went out in response.
Pan'er went out with the cattails after a while.
Obviously Cattail was also very curious about what was going on, but she naturally didn't have a clear idea, but she didn't dare to ask more, after all, it wasn't the place.
After that, it was almost time to watch the theater, and I went to the dinner party.
Pan'er could feel that many people were watching her intentionally or not. It seemed that many people knew about the scene that happened in Changyin Pavilion.
What would they think
It turned out that Concubine Su Gui actually came from her natal family, didn't she mean she was born as a skinny horse
In fact, many people have doubts about whether Concubine Su Gui was born as a skinny horse. After all, skinny horses can bind their feet. Excessive.
However, there is nothing to question the fact that Concubine Su Gui was sent to the palace by the Chen family. The fact that the Chen family threw stones at their own feet caused a lot of people in Beijing to laugh at it.
A joke is a joke, but it also makes people dare not ignore this Concubine Su Gui.
After all, she was originally under the control of the Chen family, but she forced her to be evenly matched with Empress Chen, and even overwhelmed her. It's easy to know how many people have this ability.
Pan'er didn't know the other people's thoughts. She only knew that after the incident in Changyin Pavilion, the ladies seemed to be more respectful to her at the subsequent dinner and moon feast, and Empress Chen and Concubine Hu Shu looked at her His eyes were complicated, and there was still a hint of fear in them.
Halfway through the moon feast, Pan'er returned to Jingren Palace.
About two quarters of an hour later, Zong Cong also came back.
He drank the wine, and his body was slightly smelled of alcohol, but the Canaan fragrance was stronger than usual. Pan'er felt that he seemed to be drunk, because every time he was drunk or close to drunk, his eyes and actions were very different.
For example, usually in front of the servants, he seldom makes too intimate gestures to her, but once he drank too much, he would make a lot of small gestures, such as hugging her waist, or holding hands, touching her face. Kind of like a kid.
"You drink the hangover soup first, and go wash up after drinking, and talk about it later if you have something to say."
At this time, Pan'er had already washed up, and she was wearing begonia-red pajamas, and was held in Zong Cong's arms, and she couldn't even push her away.
"You serve me to wash."
"I've finished washing, how can I serve you to wash?"
Seeing that the empress and His Majesty were pestering, Fu Lu and Cattail naturally retreated quickly, for fear that they would stay for a moment, and their eyes would no longer be wanted.
"It's up to you to serve." He put his arms around her waist, his eyes were particularly aggressive, and Pan'er naturally understood.
Unable to wear it down, the two of them went to the bathroom, after a rough toss, Pan'er was exhausted.
After going to lie down on the couch, she no longer had the desire to speak, and was even full of confusion. She didn't bother to ask right now, and didn't even want to move her fingers, but he was full of interest and didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Did Fu Lu tell you about Su Hai's coming back?"
"Fu Lu didn't tell me in person, he came to Jingren Palace..." Pan'er roughly talked about the previous incident.
Hearing this, Zong Cong sneered: "This old man is really good at being cute."
