Fan Jiaming did not participate in the struggle of the princes on the surface.

But since Fan Yun planned to give a lecture at Wanshan Academy, all the people in the world seemed to be rushing to him, and his limelight was a little too strong, which still made people jealous after all. Although Fan Yun's move was originally to establish authority for the Fan family, it made people jealous of the Fan family.

He Linwan followed the palace maid to cross the courtyard to tease the parrot for a while, and it didn't take long for the Qin family to send someone to find her, and the virtuous concubine had palace affairs with her, and chatted with the Qin family for less than half an hour.

He Lin and the Qin family returned to He Zhen's Luhua Palace in the evening.

When the two of them were walking on the palace road, Qin asked casually, "Are parrots interesting?"

He Linwan seemed to be thinking about something, and was suddenly shocked by the Qin clan, and smiled at the Qin clan and said, "Oh, that parrot, it's very interesting! It will also say, 'The master is healthy'." ”

Qin glanced at He Linwan and smiled, "How are you getting along with the girl of the Mu family?" When I was talking to Niangniang, Miss Mu came, and Niangniang sent her to play with you across the courtyard. ”

He Linwan pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Qin Shi said worriedly: "What's the matter?

He Linwan smiled reluctantly: "No, I didn't see Miss Mu, presumably she went elsewhere first." ”

Qin nodded and didn't ask again.

When the two returned to Luhua Palace, He Zhen and Cao sat next to each other on the couch, He Zhen held Cao's arm intimately, leaned her head on her shoulder and whispered something, and the eyes of both mother and daughter were a little red.

Seeing them come in, Cao Shi hurriedly turned his head to wipe his eyes, got up from the couch, and sat back in his original seat. Although He Zhen was a little reluctant, seeing Qin's frowning, she could only pout her lips and didn't say anything more.

They sat in the Hezhen Palace for a while, until the attendant beside Emperor Tiancheng came over and passed the decree that Emperor Tiancheng would come to Luhua Palace for dinner at noon, and after the attendant left, the Qin family would immediately retire from the palace.

He Zhen took Cao's hand and said with a blank eye: "Your Majesty won't come here until noon, you won't come so early, let's sit down for a while, I don't know when we will meet next time,"

This time, without waiting for the Qin clan to speak, the Cao clan disagreed and said: "Your Majesty is coming, you have to prepare to welcome you here, how can you be sloppy? We'll see you next time. ”

Cao is also reluctant to He Zhen, but she hopes that He Zhen can live well in the palace, since He Zhen has been favored by the emperor, she hopes that this pet can last for a long time.

Seeing that it was rare for the Cao family to know the general situation so well, the Qin clan didn't say anything more.

He Zhen reluctantly sent them out with red eyes, regardless of Qin's refusal, he had to send them to the gate of Luhua Palace, if it weren't for Cao's almost cold face and reprimand, it seemed that he wanted to send them directly to the gate of the palace.

Just as the few of them were about to leave, the group walked towards Revis Palace.

He Linwan's eyesight was excellent, and he could see the chauffeur who was surrounded by him at a glance. Buyu vermilion, cover three feet high, more than one zhang five long, copper dragon head and tail, exterior decoration Ming gold paint...... It is the royal drive of Emperor Tiancheng.

He Zhen also saw it, and said in surprise: "Hey, Your Majesty is here! Why did you come so early today?"

The Qin family and the Cao family were startled, and looked along He Zhen's line of sight, and sure enough, they saw Emperor Tiancheng's imperial drive, and couldn't help but show nervousness, this was the first time they had seen Emperor Tiancheng.

Cao Shi said anxiously: "This ...... What should we do? Shall we avoid it?"

In addition to being a little surprised that Emperor Tiancheng came so quickly, He Zhen had no nervousness on his face, and smiled and comforted: "What should you do?" Your Majesty will see you when you come, you can rest assured, Your Majesty has a gentle temperament, and will not embarrass my family." ”

Gentle temperament? He Linwan glanced at He Zhen and hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly.

Although the Qin family is also very nervous, she is calmer than the Cao family, Your Majesty must have seen them, it must be inappropriate to avoid them at this time, so she can only follow He Zhen to greet the holy driver.

The Qin clan whispered sternly to the Cao clan and He Linwan: "You follow me, you do what I do, don't be rude." ”

Cao Shi responded in a low voice, and He Linwan also responded.

At this time, the holy car had just arrived at the gate of Luhua Palace, and Emperor Tiancheng came down from the chariot.

He Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Greetings to Your Majesty. ”

The Qin clan also took the Cao clan and He Linwan cautiously followed behind He Zhen and bowed his head and saluted.

After Emperor Tiancheng smiled and helped He Zhen up, his eyes fell on He Linwan and the three people who had not yet gotten up.

He Zhen hurriedly said: "This is my grandmother, mother and eldest sister, who came to visit me in the palace today." ”

Emperor Tiancheng nodded, and said in a gentle tone: "It's all exempt." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

He Linwan, Qin, and Cao straightened up, but they didn't look up.

He Zhen looked at his family, and whispered to Emperor Tiancheng a little coquettishly: "My grandmother has never met the saint, so she is a little restrained, I said that Your Majesty is the best person in the world." ”

Emperor Tiancheng couldn't help but laugh happily, he held He Zhen's hand in front of everyone, looked at He Linwan and the three of them, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "I remember you, you are not the first time to face the saint, right?"

The Qin clan and the Cao clan were startled, and raised their heads to look at Emperor Tiancheng, only to see that Emperor Tiancheng's gaze fell on He Linwan.

He Linwan was a little surprised, but immediately replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers had the honor to see the Holy Driver five years ago. ”

Emperor Tiancheng looked at He Linwan and nodded thoughtfully.

He Zhen looked at He Linwan curiously, then looked up at Emperor Tiancheng, opened a pair of eyes and said in surprise: "Your Majesty has a really good memory! My eldest sister has been to Donglin for several years, and I almost didn't recognize it when I returned to Beijing, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to remember." ”

He Zhen was suspicious of being jealous if others said this, but when she said it, she only looked innocent, Emperor Tiancheng glanced at her with a smile, and didn't look at He Linwan again, he gently patted the back of He Zhen's hand, and asked casually: "What did you talk about with your family today, so happy?"

He Zhen was a little speechless, she never lied in front of Emperor Tiancheng, and she always had something to say, which was also the reason why she was more favored than other concubines. But she couldn't tell Emperor Tiancheng that her grandmother didn't talk about anything else today, but only encouraged her to compete for favor, and her mother listened to her complain about the rules of the palace. He Zhen is not stupid, although she and Emperor Tiancheng always tell the truth, they also tell the truth with discrimination.

Emperor Tiancheng saw that He Zhen was hesitant, so he looked at the Qin family and the Cao family casually, although his face was still smiling, his eyes were a little bit of imperial coercion.

A cold sweat broke out on Qin's head, and Cao's head didn't dare to raise his head, the two of them were nervous and couldn't say a word, Qin subconsciously glanced at He Linwan, who spoke freely in front of Emperor Tiancheng.

He Linwan said: "Back to Your Majesty, we just chatted with Concubine Zhen Niangniang about some interesting things outside the palace. ”

Emperor Tiancheng seemed to be a little interested, "Oh? What an interesting story, let me hear it too." ”

He Linwan lowered his eyes and said without changing his face: "The biggest excitement in the capital recently is that Elder Fan Ge is going to give a lecture at Wanshan Academy. ”
