There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 36 Mid-Autumn Festival
Mrs. Tang took the letter and read it carefully before sighing.

"It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like our daughter, but now only His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to speak for us and offer an idea!"

"That is, I don't even know whose son-in-law it is!"

"Bah!" Mrs. Tang spat at him.

"Return the son-in-law, he is the prince, you will kneel and kowtow when you see him in the future!"

Tang Zhenxiao was embarrassed and wanted to refute, but was stopped by Mrs. Tang.

"Stop talking nonsense, and think about what to do!"

Tang Zhenxiao said directly after thinking about it.

"What else can I do? I hate playing tricks in the gutter the most!!"

"Just listen to the prince, pretend to be sick and injured during the autumn hunting, and say that you want to go back to the northwest to recuperate!"

"The emperor won't force him to stay! As long as he leaves the capital, everything will be easy!"

Mrs. Tang was a little worried.

"not necessarily!"

"His Royal Highness is just a reminder, it may not necessarily work, we have to think about the next move!"

"Oh!" Tang Zhenxiao covered his head.

"Ma'am, just let me be your husband, it's not like you don't know, I..."

"You!" Mrs. Tang hated iron but steel.

"You can't think about your daughter, do you still want to see her?"

Speaking of his daughter, Tang Zhenxiao immediately calmed down.

"right!"

"My daughter lived happily in the Northwest since she was a child. The old man took her to the capital as her daughter-in-law. Now she is separated by a palace gate, and she can't even see her!"

"I can't compromise, we have come all the way, we have to see my daughter!!"

Mrs. Tang gave him a helpless look and said nothing.

……

Ever since the emperor was furious and punished, Xia Houjue had been kneeling in Fengxian Hall.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the queen specifically interceded for him, so that he would be spared the penalty of kneeling on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In Fengxian Hall, the empress looked distressed.

"You are really a child. Your father is getting old, so why do you make him angry and talk back to him?"

"The queen mother also heard about that incident?!" Xia Houjue's expression was indifferent.

The Queen nodded worriedly.

"Although your father's actions are somewhat inappropriate, the Tang family has not been wronged after all!"

"The Marquis of Zhenbei is a Marquis of the first grade. The emperor also chose the most luxurious mansion. In addition, the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty will also be promoted to the crown prince. From now on, their family will be the nobles of the capital. Why are you dissatisfied?"

Xia Houjue lightly pursed his lips and didn't answer any more, but just thanked him.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for pleading for me!"

"Just kneeling in the Fengxian Hall to face the reflections of the ancestors and ancestors. It is voluntary! Tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, you can take a leave of absence from the emperor for me!"

The queen frowned, a fleeting sternness flashed in her eyes, and finally sighed.

"You child, you are too stubborn!"

As he spoke, he shook his head and got up.

"Since you have made up your mind, the queen mother will not force you!"

As a queen, she has tried her best and made enough gestures. It is the prince himself who does not know what is good and what is wrong. If it is spread, she cannot be blamed.

With a good name, what does it matter to her if he can't get up?

The Queen turned and left, walking mercilessly.

Xia Houjue hooked his lips and continued to kneel.

……

The Mid-Autumn Festival has finally arrived, and the palace banquet is held at the Linbo Terrace of the Imperial Garden.

It is adjacent to Linyuan Pool, a lake in the Imperial Garden, surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, rockery and rocks, clouds and emerald green, full of wit and wit.

As the moonlight rises, the sparkling water in the Linyuan Pool is hazy and cloudy, and the bright moon is thousands of miles away, giving it a special feeling.

Linbo Terrace is full of tables and chairs, beautiful lotus lanterns are hung on the white jade fence, and the tables are full of delicacies and fine wines of Qiongyao.

The air was filled with the aroma of delicious food and wine, and the maids shuttled back and forth, arranging waterscape lights and candles.

The emperor and the empress sat at the first place, and on the left and right sides were the royal family members and concubines of the harem.

After drinking for three rounds, the banquet started. The silk and bamboo wind music was played against the aquatic styles, and the dancers stepped on the music with their water sleeves fluttering, their waists were soft, and it was like a prosperous and prosperous scene in the peaceful and prosperous period of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Everyone laughed at Yan Yan, half awake and half drunk, under the Queen's deliberate perfunctory, no one cared that the prince and princess were missing here.

The crown prince asked for leave, and the crown princess was naturally unable to attend, so shouldn't it be natural for all eyes to focus on his son?
The queen took a sip of the rum and glanced at Xia Houyan.

I saw Xia Houyan toasting Emperor Jingyuan, and the father and son were talking and laughing, and the scene was very happy.

The queen leaned on the soft cushion behind her, smiling gently and willfully.

'This peaceful and prosperous age, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, will eventually fall into the hands of my son, won't it? '

……

Yuqing Palace.

Tang Waning was wondering, for some reason tonight, there were suddenly many strange guards around the East Palace, and she couldn't even get out.

Even if she didn't pay attention, she would feel that something was wrong.

"What the hell is that bastard doing?"

Although she hated Xia Houjue, she would not be able to please her if something happened to the East Palace, so she looked very solemn. .

Bi Luo comforted: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, the servants have already sent someone to inquire about it!"

Tang Wanning couldn't sit still, got up and went outside, touched the bow and arrow of the black bear skin and frowned.

"Could it be...that bastard made a big mistake, he's about to be abolished!"

Bi Luo hurriedly covered her mouth.

"My lady, my lady, can't you hope that the prince will be well?"

"We haven't figured out the situation yet, so we can't talk nonsense!"

Tang Waning patted her hand away and flattened her mouth.

"Didn't I just say it casually, what are you in a hurry for?"

After thinking about it, she couldn't figure it out, so she simply suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

"Forget it, I can't get out anyway, why not sleep!"

"Listen carefully, and report any news in time!"

"Yes!"

Biluo looked serious and respectful.

……

The main courtyard became quiet, and there was no movement in Furong Residence, but Nongcui Residence was here, Meng Yuyao was very puzzled.

Although as a side concubine, she was not qualified to attend the banquet outside, but...why didn't the princess go?

"Could it be...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince completely disliked the Crown Princess? So you didn't take her with you and went to the banquet alone?"

Xueqin thought for a moment before nodding firmly.

"It must be!"

"The crown princess has neither favor nor real power! And..." She secretly smiled.

"What kind of archery has the princess and concubine been practicing recently! Her skin is so tanned... black and black!"

"Your Highness must have thought she was ashamed, so he didn't take her out. If you want this servant to tell you, it's no big deal!"

"It's not a day or two since the princess was rejected!"

Meng Yuyao was a little complacent, and pretended to reprimand her.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, it's getting late, let's rest too!"

"Yes!"

……

For the backyard of the East Palace, the outside world is too far away.

Except for Tang Wanning who was eligible to go out, and the two side concubines who were occasionally eligible to go out, the rest... It was against the rules to go out and wander around.

Even though the outside has long been under siege, there is still no news from the inside, and the court ladies and eunuchs who inquire about the news cannot get out at all.

Xia Houjue went out early and returned late for several days, but no one noticed anything wrong.

The only person who can find something is wrong, she doesn't care!
In this regard, Xia Houjue said: I am very sad!
