Du Youlan threw the envelope along with the letterhead and threw it onto the coffee table on the side. Looking out the window, I couldn't sleep anymore.

The lord of the house 'said goodbye to the old man and returned to his hometown', and the courtiers had their own fixed number in their hearts. For the emperor's actions, he was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say much, after all, there are very few people who speak out like Lord She. Although he didn't say much, he didn't want to think about it in his heart, the words of 'red face and troubled water' and 'demon' were already solid in the hearts of hundreds of officials.

Next.

In the afternoon, Qingqing had just gotten up from a nap, Qi Xuan came over and said softly: Master, someone from Chaoxiang Palace came over, saying that her mother invited you to go to the imperial garden for a walk.

Since the 'fornication' incident, Qingqing has no good impression of the people in Chaoxiang Palace, and she doesn't want to have more intersections. Then he said: Tell her that I don't want to leave the palace, let her go back.

Qi Xuan nodded and said: Yes.

The footsteps were far away, and the sound of talking could be heard outside. After a while, I could still hear Qi Xuan's voice, and the pitch was high. It just so happened that Dye Zhi came to serve, so he asked: Dye Zhi, who is Qi Xuan talking to?

Dye Zhi replied: It is the palace maid from the Joseon Palace, and she refuses to go back.

Qingqing looked out the window, and couldn't see a figure, but she could hear a voice.

Suddenly, I heard Qingqing say: Dye Zhi, you go and talk to Qixuan, and let the palace maid come in and talk.

After dyeing the branches, he casually put down the pu fan and walked out of the hall. Soon, I saw the two of her coming, followed by a small palace maid.

The palace maid approached timidly, looked up and saw that it was Qingqing, immediately knelt down, and said: The slave maid greets the queen.

Qingqing looked at the palace maid and said, "Get up and speak."

The palace maid got up, but she didn't dare to look.

Qingqing asked: What are you doing here?

The palace maid suddenly looked up, lowered her head again, and said: My mother asked the slave maid to invite the queen to go to the imperial garden for a walk, saying that she wanted to talk about her heart.

Qingqing said: Your mother knows that I don't want to leave the palace. If you want to talk, come over, if I can't get used to eating this tea and dim sum, bring it from Chaoxiang Palace, and this palace can also taste it together.

After speaking, he saw that the palace maid did not move and did not speak. Then he continued: Since the words are clear, you can go back to the palace and listen to what I said to your master.

Then, Qingqing looked at Qi Xuan and said, "Qi Xuan, you send her out."

Qi Xuan agreed, and was about to go to the palace maid, but saw her look up at Qingqing, and said eagerly: Queen Mother, Mother asked me to invite you to the Imperial Garden, when I came, Niang Niang said, if the Queen didn't go to the Royal Garden, I wouldn't have to go back.

After saying that, he began to cry loudly.

Qi Xuan heard it and scolded: No matter what you do, if my mother doesn't go, she won't go. She wants to invite someone, why didn't she come, forcing you to invite, and if it didn't work out, it would be blamed on you, it's really weird!

Dye Zhi comforted the palace maid on the side.

But I heard Qingqing say: Hey, forget it.

The three of them looked at each other.

Qingqing said: I don't want to embarrass you, you go back and tell her that the palace will go in a while.

When the palace maid heard this, she smiled happily and said: Yes. The slave and maid retired.

Wait for someone to go. Qi Xuan leaned over and said, "Master, you don't need to force yourself for her.

Qingqing smiled slightly and said: I think she is as big as you, and she is in front of the servants. I saw that she was wronged, and I couldn't bear to think of you. It's just a trip to the Imperial Garden, nothing reluctant.

Qi Xuan blushed and nodded with a smile.

Even after noon, I deliberately waited for the scorching sun to set west before leaving the palace, but I still felt a little dizzy from the sun.

Qixuan Dye Zhi accompanied Qingqing to the Imperial Garden. Seeing Chengli in the middle of the road, Qixuan called Chengli and a nearby guard and asked them to follow behind him, so that they could take care of him.

Walk into the Imperial Garden and go to the gazebo to rest. Further inside is the lotus pond, although there is a shady place under the rockery, but it is not as cool as the big tree near the pavilion here.

Qixuan dyed branches all brought pu fans, fanning the wind one by one.

Soon, I saw someone coming from a distance, and when I looked at it, it was indeed Du Youlan of Chaoxiang Palace.

Du Youlan is plain, but she has several gold ornaments on her head, but she is small and not ugly. I saw her smiling and coming slowly. After entering the gazebo, I said: My sister came early. Blame my sister for coming late.

Qingqing smiled slightly: It's okay. It's me who came early.

Du Youlan sat down opposite, turned her eyes around in front of Qixuan Dye Zhi and the other four people, and said: Sister is the queen, are there fewer people who come out with her?

Qingqing said: It's enough to have them. You don't have to have too many people.

Du Youlan listened to it and said with a smile: It seems that I am the only one in trouble, and there are always many people who have to follow left and right.

Qingqing listened, but smiled silently.

Looking at Du Youlan's back again, in addition to the one who was close, there were four palace maids and two eunuchs behind him, all standing outside the pavilion and waiting.

Du Youlan said to the palace maid beside her: Let the two of them go to the kitchen to bring some delicious snacks and tea.

The palace maid saluted and said: Yes.

Then he turned around and went out, and sent the other palace maids and eunuchs back to the palace to get them.

Du Youlan looked at Qingqing and said with a smile: My sister is very happy to be here today. The palace maid said that my sister wants to taste the dim sum in my palace, although it is not as good as that in my sister's palace, but it is delicious. When the palace people bring it, my sister can eat more.

Hearing this, Qingqing smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

Soon, the tea and snacks were on the stone table, and the two picked up the snacks from time to time, drank the tea, and chatted for a while. Behold, the sun was setting in the west again, and the sun was weakening.

Du Youlan suddenly said: After eating a lot of snacks, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, and the heat outside is dissipating a little, so it is better to walk forward and take a look at the lotus.

Qingqing didn't think much about it, so she said: It's okay.

Stretch along the paved stone road, and walk out dozens of meters to see the lotus pond. The lotus flowers in the pond are all in bloom, and they are very beautiful.

Du Youlan said as she walked: You see, that cluster of lotus flowers is the most beautiful in the pool.

Qingqing looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw several lotus flowers with stems gathered together, like a cluster.

The lotus pond stretches for several miles, and after walking for a while, I can't help but sweat. So he found a place to sit down and rest.

Soon, the two got up and prepared to return the way they came.

As she was walking, Du Youlan suddenly stopped, looked at a lotus flower nearby, and said: This lotus flower is so beautiful, it is better to pick it up and take it back, and take a few more looks.

As he spoke, he reached out and picked it up. But after all, the lotus is in the pool, and no matter how close it is, it is difficult to reach.

Qingqing was about to say, let the palace people find a way to pick it. But seeing Du Youlan stretch out her left hand in front of her, looking up, Du Youlan smiled and said: Please sister hold my hand.

Seeing this, Qingqing had no choice but to reach over, and when she was about to pull hard, Du Youlan fell forward and instantly fell into the lotus pond.
