When Qin Hanzhen left Cining Palace, he was really relieved.

Although it is not clear who is leading the rhythm in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother seems to have a good impression of her and has a kind attitude, and it is estimated that she has not been affected by anything bad. Although it may be necessary to enter the palace from time to time to meet the Queen Mother in the future, since Qin Hanzhen is ready to marry into the clan, this kind of thing is estimated to be indispensable in the future, and it is also beneficial to get used to it earlier. If she has the support of the Queen Mother, she will be able to gain a foothold in the clan in the future.

Qin Hanzhen took Mama Wei out of the palace. Mama Wei didn't follow her into the palace, but the former didn't wait outside the palace. She came out of the Internal Affairs Office, and she also had a few old acquaintances in Cining Palace, and she might not be able to find everyone in a short time, but she still reunited with two of them, and chatted a few words about her family after saying goodbye, one of them was a eunuch.

Unlike palace maids and female officials, eunuchs have the opportunity to go out of the palace to do business. Now that the other party has re-established a relationship with Mama Wei, and knows where she currently lives, which small tea shop she has invested in privately, she has a loose hand and a comfortable life, so when she leaves the palace in the future, if she has leisure, a pastime, a letter, a thing, or borrowing money to do something, there will be a place to go.

This is the tacit understanding that Qin Hanzhen reached with Mama Wei before he saw the Queen Mother, taking advantage of Wu Siyan's absence. If they can connect with the palace maids and eunuchs waiting in Cining Palace, they can be regarded as having eyes and ears in the palace. Usually, you don't need these eyes and ears to come in handy, as long as you can have a source in matters related to Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo, it won't be in vain. Especially Qin Hanzhen is now guessing that when someone wants to make trouble by the side of the Queen Mother. It's important to take precautions beforehand.

Since Wu Siyan was responsible for sending them out of the palace, on the way, Qin Hanzhen did not talk to Mama Wei about the latter's achievements, but just walked quietly, occasionally chatting with Wu Siyan about safety topics such as weather, clothing or the queen mother's preferences. Wu Siyan really had the heart to show favor to her, and also told her that the queen mother usually has something to do on what days, and when she will be free, it will be more convenient for Qin Hanzhen to hand over the sign to the palace to ask for peace, without worrying that she will eat behind closed doors, or wait for a meeting, and it will take too long to wait.

When they entered and left the palace, they walked through the Shenwu Gate. From Cining Palace to Shenwu Gate, you need to pass through a lot of palace rooms on the way. However, there are few people in the emperor's harem today, and there are not many people in the palace, so they haven't met many people along the way, and it is impossible for any palace concubine who is not long-eyed to run in front of him to show off her might.

But it's not like they've met any unexpected characters. When they were halfway there, they saw a chariot in front of them, and it was none other than the prince in his usual clothes. Qin Hanzhen and the others hurriedly retreated to the side of the road and fell to the ground.

The prince saw Qin Hanzhen and showed a loving smile. He stopped and asked Qin Hanzhen gently, what are you doing when you enter the palace? Is the family in good health? What has your brother-in-law Qin Bai been busy with lately? He also congratulated Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo on their family affairs, so that she could get along with Zhao Mo in the future. If Zhao Mo makes her angry, even if she comes to the East Palace to complain, his cousin will make the decision for her.

Qin Hanzhen and the crown prince haven't seen each other for a long time, but his attitude is still so gentle and kind. Qin Han was sincerely grateful, thanked him again and again, and also said some words of blessing. The prince smiled and asked her to come to the palace often to play in the future, so he let people get up again and move on. He is going to Cining Palace today to greet the Queen Mother.

Qin Hanzhen didn't think it was a big deal to meet the prince. How ordinary, the prince is in the palace, and he has a good relationship with the queen mother, he wants to visit the queen mother, please be safe, chat about the day or something, how normal.

Only Wu Siyan felt a little strange. This is not at all the time when the prince usually goes to greet the Queen Mother. And didn't the prince already go to Cining Palace once in the morning? Why did he suddenly ......

Of course, the prince wants to be filial to the Queen Mother, and who dares to say that he shouldn't do this? Maybe the prince just remembered something and wanted to discuss it with the Queen Mother, so he would suddenly run over again.

Wu Siyan didn't think much about it, and sent Qin Hanzhen and Mama Wei out of the Shenwu Gate, and watched them get into the carriage and leave, before turning around and returning to Cining Palace.

On the way home, Qin Hanzhen asked Mama Wei about the details of her contact with her old acquaintances. This is the first time, and I don't see any effect for the time being, but keeping this line will come in handy one day.

For the person who mentioned her name in front of the Queen Mother, Mama Wei couldn't inquire for a while, but she heard from others that the Queen Mother recently paid more attention to the daughter of the prince of Shu, the little county lord who unfortunately broke his leg. The little county lord's injuries have healed, but the disability cannot be changed, but the little girl is very strong and well-behaved, and when she sees the people around her feel sorry for her, she also comforts others in turn. This made the prince of Shu and his wife even more sad for their daughter, and the queen mother also loved the little county lord more and more. In order to make her live well in Cining Palace, she not only personally selected the palace maids to serve her, but also called the old palace people who had taken care of the King of Shu back to serve her, and asked her brother to come into the palace to live with her.

The princess of Shu has been bedridden recently, and the prince of Shu has to keep filial piety and take care of his wife, which is already very hard, and he is a little negligent to his son. The Queen Mother took his eldest son into the palace to live, and he also felt that he had done him a great favor, so he thanked him again and again, and personally prayed for the Queen Mother to copy the Blood Sutra. Although the Queen Mother was very moved, she still ordered him to stop, he only needed to copy the scriptures with all his heart, not to use his own blood, and to keep a healthy body, so that he could contribute to the court and atone for his parents and brothers. The prince of Shu kowtowed to thanksgiving, while copying the Buddhist scriptures without blood, he also sent a lot of precious medicinal materials and rare jewelry, Shu brocade and other things to the palace, most of which were filial to the queen mother, and a small part was scattered to other people in the Cining Palace, including the concubines and concubines and the palace eunuchs with heads and faces.

Obviously, he is not only honoring the Queen Mother, but also wants to curry favor with the people around the Queen Mother. But the reason is impeccable - he is worried about the children living in the palace, and hopes that the people in the Cining Palace will take more care of them.

When chatting privately, on the one hand, they sighed at the wealth of the prince of Shu, and on the other hand, they asked Mama Wei to help them sell the items they had on hand into living money and keep them in the form of silver tickets. Mama Wei had already agreed to help, and when she left the palace, she carried a pair of gold bead soft bracelets and a small bag of precious spices in her arms. When she entered the palace, she brought a few silver tickets, which were originally just prepared for Qin Hanzhen to reward, but now she used a few, and there were dozens of taels left, which happened to be used as a deposit for these two old acquaintances.

Qin Hanzhen can often hear the news of the prince of Shu recently, and he doesn't care. She looked at the two small bags, and said to Mama Wei: "There is also a shop at home, Mama just hand over the things to the shopkeeper and let him give the silver according to the highest market price." Next time I enter the palace again, Mama will continue to follow, and give the silver ticket to those two. Let's not do anything that may involve bribery and bribery on the surface, lest we commit a taboo and let people find out in the future, which is not good-looking. Just think that you are simply helping the two old friends do some small things, and the books are innocent. But in fact, don't miss the benefits that should be there, and let those two know in their hearts. ”

Mama Wei nodded knowingly: "Don't worry, girl, the old slave knows what to do." ”

When the two returned to Yongjiahou's Mansion, it was almost time to eat. Qin Hanzhen first went to the main courtyard to see his grandfather and grandmother, but Qin Bai was not there, saying that he was in the study, and he already knew the news of her return. She didn't care, so she hurried to the garden to meet the friends she had invited, and had to make amends for her absence.

Cai Yuanzhen chatted with Lu Yueniang very happily, didn't care about her absence, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother summoned her by grace." It seems that the Queen Mother likes you very much, and you don't have to worry about someone embarrassing you in the future. ”

Cai Yuanzhen is a master who understands in her heart, as soon as she said this, Qin Hanzhen understood, smiled at her, and had a tacit understanding with each other.

Lu Yueniang didn't ask, and poured a cup of tea for Qin Hanzhen with a smile: "The second cousin is still here, and now she is going to the outer study to accompany Miss Yu." Since the third cousin is back, why don't you go and invite them back in person? Seeing that it's almost noon, should we order the kitchen to have a banquet?"

Today was originally a tea party, but because Qin Hanzhen temporarily entered the palace, the time dragged on, and when it came to the meal, the guests could not be starved, so the tea party turned into a small dinner, which was still held in Fengweixuan. Just now, Lu Yueniang and Qin Jinhua discussed in a whisper, went to say hello to Niu's, and asked the kitchen to prepare a few refreshing and chic meals, accompanied by the cool juice characteristic of Yongjiahou Mansion. By the standards of a small banquet in a summer garden, such a specification is already handy.

Qin Hanzhen naturally had no objections, she was just a little puzzled: "Sister Yu is still in the study?" No wonder she didn't see each other after entering the garden. Yu Xinlan really deserves to be a talented girl, she thought that Yu Xinlan should go back to the garden and join the army after spending a few hours in the outer study. Unexpectedly, the other party is still there, with no signs of moving.

Lu Yueniang nodded, confirming her guess: "Miss Yu has not come back since she went to the outer study. Third cousin, after you went out, the second cousin went over to accompany her for a while, and then asked her to rush back. The second cousin couldn't help it, so she went to see her twice one after another, brought her some refreshments, and let her enjoy herself there. The second cousin is the third time to go over, and she originally planned to invite people back for dinner, but it seems that she can't be moved. ”

Cai Yuanzhen said with a smile on the side: "Sister Yu is the most book-lover. When she came to my house to play, she did the same, and when she saw a book, she couldn't move her feet. If you don't have great perseverance, it's not so easy to move her. ”

Qin Hanzhen was funny when he heard it, and hurriedly apologized to Cai Yuanzhen, and asked Lu Yueniang to help him continue to entertain Cai Yuanzhen, and then turned around and went to the outer study.

She walked over the path, and without taking the girl, she entered the house directly through the back door of the outer study. Before she turned to the main room, she heard Yu Xinlan talking through the heavy bookshelves: "Brother Qin, it seems that these seals are all true, and the authenticity of this ancient book has been determined." It's a good fortune that you've got such a precious book! You have to cherish it, keep it, and don't leave it dusty. ”

Qin Hanzhen paused and blinked.
