A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, many people went to Furong Palace to see the excitement.
It is said that the second prince brought in a juggling troupe from outside the palace. Since Furong Palace was the coolest place and there was a high platform, it could be used as a stage.
The second prince first informed the queen, and the queen agreed.
Everyone knew that although the Queen was not his biological mother, the Second Prince was the closest to her.
The second prince's biological mother, Mrs. Jiang, had disobeyed the emperor. If Yao Ziyun had not interceded for her, she would have been sentenced to death.
Now, although he was demoted as a talented person and entered the Suxin Palace, he still had a life left.
This juggling team was introduced to Yao Wanyi by Jin Yu'e.
Yao Wanyi didn't want to stand out on her own, so she found the second prince.
He said that the spring banquet was well organized, and seeing that it was summer, the palace could not be too deserted.
We can't let the queen worry about everything. They need to learn to share their worries and add icing on the cake.
The second prince has never neglected the Yao family.
After hearing what Yao Wanyi said, she praised her for her thoughtfulness and asked her if she had any good suggestions.
Yao Wanyi then pretended to mention casually that she watched a monkey show outside some time ago and it was really good, so she brought it into the palace to refresh herself.
It's more interesting than simply watching the singing and dancing in Music Square.
The second prince didn't suspect anything else. He thought that Yao Wanyi was the queen's niece, so he naturally thought about his aunt.
Besides, if this thing is done, everyone will remember the Queen’s good deeds.
And he also has his own selfish motives, and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon.
It's a good show in front of the queen, and maybe she will be merciful and let him go to the cold palace to meet his biological mother as soon as she is happy.
Therefore, the second prince agreed with all his heart.
Yao Wanyi knew that the queen hated the juggling of gongs, drums, and drinks, so she would definitely not go.
That's good, so as not to surprise the Queen.
"Our palace has not been so lively for a long time." Youzhu walked over with a smile and said to the chief steward Wei Zhong, "Although our queen said it was not her birthday, the queen must still be thinking about it in her heart."
"Yes, the Queen said she wouldn't come over today to avoid being restrained by everyone.
Just take our queen as the leader and ask our queen to sit on the main seat. "Wei Zhong didn't doubt it, he just thought it was the queen's wish.
In front of the palace gate, the jugglers had already arrived.
The second prince personally led his guards to search him to make sure nothing went wrong.
After checking everything carefully, they were allowed in, and they had to be guarded by guards in front and behind.
Two maids came from the Queen's Palace here, holding large trays with various velvet flowers in them.
It is said that the Queen Mother gave it to the maids of Furong Palace because of their hard work and diligence in the past.
Everyone hurriedly came forward to thank them, and the two palace maids put them on everyone's heads one by one.
Everyone thought it was an honor, but they didn't know it was Yao Wanyi's conspiracy.
She knew that the queen now looked at Concubine Fu differently, so she said that the embroiderer in her family had made many velvet flowers, and it would be a pity to let them go to waste. She might as well give them to the maids in Concubine Fu's palace.
Firstly, it makes the best use of the things, and secondly, it also reminds people of the queen's kindness.
The queen didn't care much after hearing this and even praised her a few words.
Yao Wanyi became more and more complacent and felt that she was really smart enough.
Xiuzhu specifically asked the two palace maids who presented the velvet flowers to put the light red one on Xue Hengzhao's head.
"Just wait here for now. I'll tell you to go in before you go in. Don't wander around." The second prince brought the jugglers to the vicinity of Furong Palace, but went in without telling them.
Go ahead and see what's going on inside.
Yao Wanyi was a little worried, so she sent Hanxiang outside to see if those people had arrived.
Hanxiang walked outside and saw that all those people had arrived. She turned around and prepared to go back and tell the county boss.
Halfway through, she heard someone calling her softly from behind. When she turned around, she saw a man wearing a short bamboo shirt.
He held a jar in his hand with a lid on it.
"Girl, are you the maid in front of the county lord?" the man asked.
"Are you from the juggling troupe?" Hanxiang knew by looking at his dress that he came from outside the palace.
"That's it, little one. The class leader told me to give this to the girl." The man said and handed the jar in his hand to Hanxiang.
"It's weird, what's in here?" Hanxiang asked with some disgust.
"We can't open it now, we can't let it go," the man said hurriedly. "The class leader is afraid that the monkey will go crazy and scare the county leader. Just in case, you take this with you.
If something unexpected happens, open this and sprinkle the contents on the county lord to keep him safe. "
"Okay, I guess you are thoughtful." Hanxiang said after hearing this, "Go back quickly! Don't move around, be careful of getting beaten."
She knew that this man had sneaked out at some time, and it would not be good for the guards to find out later.
Because there were many people coming to Furong Palace today, all the maids and eunuchs were busy in the yard.
Concubine Fu sat in the main seat, Concubine Xian sat next to her, and there were several empresses, all of whom liked the excitement.
The Queen, Concubine Ying, and Concubine Li didn't arrive.
However, there were still many people from their respective palaces who came to join in the fun.
Everyone knows that Concubine Fu has a good temper, doesn't have so many rules, and doesn't have that much airs.
Besides, as I said before, if you have nothing to do in other palaces today, you can come over.
Until the jugglers came in and took the stage, everyone sat as they should and stood as they should.
Yao Wanyi saw Xue Hengzhao standing not far from Fu Fei's seat, wearing the light red velvet flower on her head, which was very conspicuous.
She lowered her eyes proudly and said to herself: "Little bitch, today is your death anniversary!"
At this time, Lin Fufei was standing next to Xue Hengzhao. While looking at the stage, he said to Xue Hengzhao: "I loved watching the monkey show when I was a child. I didn't expect to see it in the palace today. It's really thanks to the blessing of Concubine Fu." .”
Then he said: "Sister, look at the man holding the monkey, why is he so short?"
Xue Hengzhao followed her words and always said nothing.
Lin Fufei turned to look at her, looked down, and saw a light yellow whisk in Xue Hengzhao's hand, and asked, "What is this whisk made of? It seems to be the tail of something."
Xue Hengzhao just smiled and remained silent.
Lin Fufei didn't care either, she had long been used to it.
Everyone was also talking about it, and the whole courtyard was buzzing.
It wasn't until the clanging sound of gongs sounded on the stage that the crowd's voices were suppressed.
Everyone said: "It's begun!"
The class leader and several people came up first to say hello to all the empresses.
In fact, when he first knew that he was going to enter the palace to harm people, he refused to do anything.
But the power of the Yao family is too great, and if he doesn't agree to his life, he will have to play it all.
Besides, she is just a little palace maid, not a serious master.
Yao Wanyi repeatedly assured him that he would be able to escape unscathed.
Only then did he bite the bullet and agree.
