Chapter 291: Climbing the Cloud Ladder
Hulandie stayed in Defu Palace for half an hour before leaving. The pill was handed over to Queen Mother Ye. In addition to using this to stabilize the secret cooperation between Guo and Ye families and Luo Ye, she also gained an unexpected gain.
When she thought of this, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
A actor who can play tricks, a man who has passed his destiny but still has a handsome face, let Hulandie taste the tenderness that he can't taste in Helanfeng in a limited half hour, and feel the joy and joy that he has never had before.
It's worth it. Even if it's not for Luo Ye, it's worth it to be able to exchange a pill for a moment of Chunxiao. But the old lady is not a fool, and in addition to a pill, she also gave her another condition.
Hulandie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the conditions that Empress Dowager Ye proposed, her eyebrows gradually frowned.
The sound of opera singing in the Defu Palace rose again
At this moment, the middle of You and the middle of the hour, all the people attending the palace banquet were heading towards the Qianqiu Wansui Palace.
There is an unknown mountain in the Dongqin Palace. When Emperor Taizu built the capital, the Feng Shui master pointed to the mountain and said: The palace is built around the mountains, and the mountain is in the east, which can ensure the prosperity of Dongqin for five hundred years. If a palace is built on the top of the mountain, then peace will be added to two hundred years. The Qianqiu Wansui Hall where the banquet hall is located today is built on the top of the unknown mountain. In the past, if you want to go to the Qianqiu Wansui Hall, you had to walk the mountain road. Although there were steps and roads, there were all masters in the palace, and they all had to be carried with soft chairs. The palace servants who carried the chairs were too tired. There was a case in the previous dynasty.
The palace maid fell because the road was slippery. The key was that the palace maid fell down, but the master who was carrying the soft chair fell down was a big deal. But that time, a noble man died.
Since then, no one has been willing to go to Qianqiu Wansui Palace. Even the palace banquet has changed places and no tragedy will happen again. Until ten years ago, the fourth prince, the ninth prince and the tenth prince collectively developed an object called a cloud ladder, which was built vertically on the side of the mountain, like a big sedan chair, where five or six people could stand inside. The palace servants below then transported it vertically through the principle of traction gear rotation.
.People just need to stand inside and be transported to the top of the mountain smoothly.
This will not only reduce the burden on carrying the sedan chair and palace servants, but also be safer.
Just to be on the verge of a precaution, there will still be masters below whenever someone rides a ladder. Once an accident occurs, these masters will immediately fly up, rescue the people inside the ladder, and protect them from landing smoothly. Today, the palace banquet is still on the ladder up the mountain. A total of six ladders are prepared, and men and women are at both sides of the mountain, using three ladders. There are not many ladders, and at most six women or four or five men can go up at a time. Therefore, people line up long lines at the foot of the mountain, waiting to enter.
Entering the ladder.
Because he had not officially issued an edict to grant the princess Bai Heran, he did not want to be too high-profile, so he refused the invitation from Empress Chen and the legitimate princess, and only took Bai Zhenzhen first and stood in the team of ordinary female guests.
Soon, I met an acquaintance here, which was their third aunt Guan and cousin Bai Tongjian.
The two were very happy when they saw Bai Heran's sisters. Bai Tongjian immediately greeted him and Bai Heran also took Bai Zhenzhen to salute to Aunt San. Then the few of them stood in the same place and asked each other whether they had been doing well recently. The general's mansion has always been peaceful, and except for his cousin Bai Haofeng who has been clamoring to go to the barracks with his father to experience it, there is almost no major incident. It is because the Duke Wen Guo's mansion has been lively. Although the General's Mansion in Zhenbei has always had few contacts with the head of the Bai family, Duke Wen Guo's mansion
The story was rumored. Whether it was Bai Jinghong's assassination of the legitimate princess or Guo Biyu's clamor at home, they all became the topic of conversation for the nobles of all over the capital after dinner. Even if the general's mansion didn't want to inquire, he could always hear it inadvertently.
Bai Tongjian asked Bai Zhenzhen with concern: I heard that Guo Biyu scratched your neck, is it better? Let me see it.
Bai Zhenzhen raised her neck with a smile, cousin, don't worry, the wound was not too deep, my neck was already healed. Bai Tongjian looked carefully for a while, and saw that it was really okay, she felt relieved and sighed: I wanted to go over and take a look when I heard about this, but you also know that our family is quite special. My father is not the old lady's biological son, and I have never liked us very much.
I thought about it and let it go, but I didn't want to make people angry. Bai Heran could hear that this cousin didn't have much affection for the old lady. In other words, it was not his own grandmother. He had never given her much care since she was a child. Where did the family affection come from? This is the sadness of people in ancient times. Men had three wives and four concubines. On the surface, they looked harmonious.
In the past, the old lady and the third master's family were already pretty good. Although they didn't have much affection, they were at least harmonious for the rest of their lives and everyone lived well.
Bai Tongjian didn't say anything in advance, but just talked about the second master's house: Uncle Er is pregnant, and I went to visit her once, but she was not very good. I smelled the smell of mugwort in the house, as if it had just been smoked. Bai Heran frowned when he heard this. Was it so early? The ancients had the habit of using mugwort leaves to protect the fetus, believing that wormwood could stop bleeding, which could help protect unstable fetus. But in fact, the effect of this method to protect the fetus was extremely small and almost negligible. And even if it was bleeding,
It depends on why the bleeding is caused. Mugwort is not omnipotent. The second wife is simply a mess. The second uncle's family attaches great importance to this child and has hired a doctor long ago. Sister Ran doesn't have to worry too much. Bai Tongjian saw that Bai Heran was discussing this matter and quickly reminded her, I know that you have good medical skills, but you also have to ask someone to help you. It's not that my cousin is cold-hearted, but it's really that your family has a more awkward relationship with our second uncle's family than with our general's mansion. If you come forward to meddle in this matter, you will blame you for meddling in other people's business. If you can't save it, the second uncle may think that you did it on purpose. After all, this is destined to be a business that is not a person inside and outside, and why?
Besides, who knows if there is anything else here? Today I am also blaming me for talking too much. Sister Ran pretends that she has never heard of it, but don’t mix it up with it.
Bai Heran smiled and nodded and said, thank you for your reminder. Personality has a personal fate, and children and grandchildren also have their own blessings. They cannot force them, and others cannot take care of them. Don’t worry, my cousin, if they don’t come to me, I will not come to the door on my own initiative.
Bai Tongjian nodded and did not mention this again. Bai Heran only smiled at her and said nothing more. Although she had never met this cousin several times, she had a good impression of it all along. The original owner was also relatively close to this cousin in his memory. At the same time, she also knew that Bai Tongjian was not a person who likes to gossip. Today, she could say what the second wife had insecure.
It must have been an intention, but she still couldn't figure out where the intention was.
Soon, the Hong family Xiaoye family and Bai Huayan also walked to the foot of the mountain. Because they could not enter the palace early without privileges, it was good that they could come in at this time, but unfortunately, these teams waiting for the ladder could not stand in front.
The three of them hung far away in the back of the team. Hongshi was nothing, she waved her hand to the front and signaled that she was here. Xiaoyeshi was also very cautious and a little timid. After all, this was the first time she had attended such a palace banquet, and it was even the first time she entered the palace. It was impossible to say that she was not nervous. But she had to keep her calm and calm appearance and not let outsiders see that she was in stage fright, that would be
It was so embarrassing to the Bai family that Bai Huayan was very excited, looking around with her eyes, and she looked closely at the people around her. She knew that in the past, only Bai Jinghong and the second wife were qualified to make friends, and even a concubine like her could not be flattered. But now it is different, Da Ye's family
After falling down, Bai Jinghong also fell down. Although Bai Haochen was left, he could not make trouble with that young master. As long as her aunt succeeded in taking office, the most noble daughter of the Bai family would be her Bai Huayan.
She thought this way, and her eyes turned toward the direction where Bai Heran was. In an instant, hatred and resentment flashed, but she quickly adjusted and smiled on her face, which was the same smile as Bai Jinghong of the past.
The cloud ladder transported people to the top of the mountain one after another. Bai Heran and Bai Zhenzhen failed to catch the ladder with the Guan mother and daughter. When it was her turn, four other strange girls were squeezed into the cloud ladder.
Of course, strangers are just for Bai Heran, but Bai Zhenzhen knows her. Although she is a concubine daughter and has never attended the palace banquet, because the Hong family is the richest man in Dongqin, she is still a regular visitor to other large and small banquets in Shangdu City, so she knows many people.
But it was obvious that these four people were not liked by Bai Zhenzhen, so after she got on the ladder, she just looked at it lightly, then turned around and ignored it.
The four of them looked bad, and one of them snorted coldly: I think someone is so arrogant. It turns out that they are the granddaughter of the Hong family. What can I be proud of when a businessman descendant? If my family is in business, I will only feel embarrassed.
Someone else agreed: Even from the other end of Duke Wen Guo’s Mansion, he was just a concubine. When did the royal palace banquet fall to the point where even the concubine daughters could sneak in? It was simply inappropriate. Bai Zhenzhen was so angry that she was about to get angry. Bai Heran raised her hand and pressed her, then turned around to ask the two people who were talking: This palace banquet was decided by the emperor himself, and my concubine sister also sent a special invitation from the palace. I don’t know which lady the two are, but they are so
Be bold, dare to question the emperor's decision, or even speak ill of each other? Do you know what the crime is this?
She raised her chin slightly, and her aggressive attitude made the two women who were provoking trouble instantly stop their voices, and at the same time they felt uneasy. They really didn't expect that the daughter of the Bai family would be so fierce. The scene was very awkward for a moment, and at this moment, a lady standing at the innermost ladder suddenly noticed a detail and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
