But said that today, Huaizhen was at home, but someone in the palace came, saying that Zhaorong Niangniang invited her to the palace to talk.

When he entered the palace by car, the attendants received it and sent it to the inner hall.

Huaizhen naturally didn't expect that when she was walking with everyone, she was looked at by King Xi and Princess Qingyan, and secretly commented on it.

only said that Huaizhen entered the palace and met Ying Zhaorong. The two looked at each other, and Huai Zhen was surprised, but he saw that Ying Hanyan's face was haggard, and he was much less colorful than before.

Huai Zhen knew that the sachet was bad in the past, and he couldn't help but worry again.

At this time, Ying Hanyan had stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "I'm afraid that you won't be in the mansion or won't be able to come...... Now that it's here, I'm relieved of reads();. ”

Huai Zhen smiled and said, "I also miss my sister, my sister has always been good?"

At this time, the palace maids came up with tea, Ying Hanyan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's good." Don't worry, but living in the palace for a long time, it's a little depressed, and it's been ...... lately. I suddenly missed the house. ”

Huaizhen saw that she didn't mention anything else, because it was not good to ask rashly, so he also smiled and said: "The emperor is merciful, I heard that there was a saying called provincial relatives the year before last, I don't know if it is feasible this year?"

Hanyan lowered his eyes and sighed: "You have probably heard about it, the prince ...... a few days ago After that incident, because Lin Yushi died like that, the emperor was very uncomfortable, and he has only been getting better recently, but he is afraid that it is rare to say that he is provincial. ”

Huai Zhen nodded slightly and said, "That's what I said...... But if my sister misses the people at home, she can also call me in, and also call the aunts in the room to see them, and say something to each other, which may ease her mind?"

When Hanyan heard this, he smiled, and there was a vague coolness in the smile, so he said: "You are not from our house, you probably don't know the situation where we are, before I entered the palace, I was also unwelcome, what do you have to say to them? Later, when I entered the palace, it was as if I was dead, and I couldn't hear any letters, and other people's families sent some silver to pay some money and so on, where could I get it? At first...... It's just to sell his original jewelry, etc., to make this favor. ”

When Huaizhen heard this, he lowered his eyes and was silent.

Hanyan looked at her, held her hand again, and said, "Later...... Because of the time you entered the palace, somehow, they changed their temperament and began to send things in, I didn't understand at first, but after two or three years, I found out that it was you who went back and said good things to them, and they thought I was going to gain power, so they were busy stammering. ”

Huai Zhen had the heart to explain, so he smiled and said, "That's not the case...... Most of the time they didn't take it to heart, or they forgot, I just mentioned it. Sister, don't think about it like this. ”

Hanyan nodded, and sure enough, he didn't say anything anymore, just stretched out his hand, hugged Huaizhen's shoulder, but his eyes were faintly red, and said, "Now I will tell you the truth...... Originally...... When I approached you in the house, I didn't really think you were good, but I just looked at you and 'him'...... It's different from others, so I want to use you to get close to him......"

Huaizhen raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Sister...... Why do you talk about this all of this all the time?"

Hanyan also looked at Huaizhen, and still said softly: "You know how lonely and boring the years in this palace are, those days in the past...... Although it is also general, but because there is you and him, although it is like a flash, few and thin, but it is precious in my heart, and now I ...... I can only live on these memories. ”

Huai Zhen felt a pain in his heart, his nose was sore, and he hurriedly said, "Sister, I don't allow you to say this." ”

Han Yan said: "You listen to me, and later, I saw you twice, and the original contempt no longer exists, and I actually understand why he is willing to be close to you...... How could it be him, even me...... I also really want to be good with you and love you from the bottom of my heart. ”

Huaizhen didn't know how to answer, but Hanyan hugged her, was silent for a long time, and then quietly spoke again, and said: "A few days ago, the emperor summoned me to accompany ,...... Who knew that the queen mother suddenly went. ”

Huai Zhen was shocked, listened to Hanyan lowered his voice, and said: "I heard the words of the two of them because I avoided it...... It turned out that Niangniang was begging the emperor, thinking that the emperor spared the prince, after all, he had been the prince for many years, and it was not easy, but the emperor seemed to be iron-hearted, and only said that he spared the prince from death, which was already extraordinarily gracious, who knew that after the mother heard it, she cried and cried, and actually said something...... "I knew that the madman would not let us go...... and so on: reads();. ”

Huaizhen became more and more frightened, although it was summer, he felt slightly cool all around, but fortunately he hugged her with smoke and couldn't hold back the shivering.

Ying Hanyan sensed her uneasiness, so he reached out and gently stroked her back, and said, "Do you feel afraid? It's just that these things have been stuffed in my heart since the day of the beating, and naturally no one dares to mention them...... Or don't you say this, don't you be afraid?" Hanyan said, and gently touched Huaizhen's face, but he felt that his cheeks were slightly cold, and he felt more and more pity in his heart, but he regretted that he didn't hold back for a while.

Huai Zhen thought about it, but said, "Sister, I want to hear it...... Who does the queen mean by 'mad husband'?"

Hanyan looked at her carefully, but saw that she seemed to really want to listen, so she thought for a while, and then whispered again: "How do I know who it is?" It's just that Niangniang's voice was very annoyed, and she said...... 'Wait and see, no one can escape' Yunyun...... As soon as he said this, he gave it to the emperor. The emperor only said that the prince was self-inflicted, and the mother went back to the palace, and heard that she was still in the Buddhist hall, not eating or drinking, and she didn't know how to ......"

Huai Zhen thought about it, and asked at the moment: "Sister was in ...... at the time The emperor naturally knows, what did he say to his sister?" "It turns out that what Huaizhen is most worried about is that Emperor Cheng should be embarrassed by the smoke, after all, there are some royal secrets, which affect the whole body, and it is really dangerous, and it cannot be ignored.

Hanyan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the emperor didn't say anything else, but his mood became more and more depressed, I was so scared that I couldn't say a word, the emperor looked at me for a while, and then called me back......"

Huai Zhen breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said with a cigarette: "However, although the emperor did not blame, I always felt like I had heard something I shouldn't have heard, and I was always uneasy in my heart." ”

At this point, Huai Zhen understood why Ying Hanyan looked haggard, because he comforted: "Sister, don't worry too much, if the emperor wants to be unfavorable to my sister, he will already speak, where will he ask you to go back to the palace...... And how many days have passed?"

After hearing this, Hanyan smiled again and said, "You always give me reassuring pills to eat, I should have asked you to come to the palace to accompany you earlier...... It's just that I'm afraid that I'll really cause trouble, so it's not good to call you in early...... It's also because after these few days, seeing that there is nothing to do, I can't help but call you into the palace. ”

When Huaizhen heard this, he fell into Hanyan's arms and called softly: "Sister......"

Hanyan hugged her again, then raised his hand to caress her green silk, and said, "This palace seems to be peaceful, but in fact, it is ...... Therefore, although I miss you, I dare not always call you in, for fear that if I don't think of you, I will harm you. ”

Huai Zhen smiled and said: "Nonsense, where are so many people trying to harm me, and I have nothing to do with the people in the palace." ”

Hanyan looked at her with a smile and said, "You don't know...... Sometimes, it's not about who has nothing to do with whom, such as...... The emperor's favor of you is already a great 'sin' in the eyes of others, do you understand this?"

With a move in his heart, he thought about it carefully, and it was really reasonable.

The so-called "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", is this not the case?

The two of them leaned on each other, talked for a long time, and saw that it was going to be noon, and should have a cigarette and order someone to prepare a meal, but unexpectedly, an attendant came and said: "The emperor heard that Miss Huaizhen came to the palace today, and specially announced that Zhaorong Niangniang and Miss Huaizhen went over to eat together." ”

Hanyan received the edict and looked back at Huaizhen.

Huaizhen understands the sorrow in her heart, Ying Hanyan at this moment is not Ying Hanyan who has only entered the palace in the past, when I heard that the emperor called them to dinner, how much I liked it, but now, I am a little worried, this is the experience.

Huai Zhen smiled at her, then shook her hand gently, and then turned his worries into joy, and said, "That's it, do you want to comfort me?"

The two went with the eunuch, walked for a while, and when they saw that the road was wrong, they asked, "This is going to the Imperial Garden?"

The eunuch in front of the head looked back and smiled: "Exactly, the emperor said that the sky was good today, so he asked to set up food in the incense pavilion in the imperial garden." ”

After listening to Hanyan, he smiled and said to Huaizhen: "This is as you want, you can eat while watching the flowers." ”

This is the season when the roses are in full bloom, and there are more moon seasons, jasmine, gardenias, impatiens, cloves, white orchids, etc., competing for strange and fragrant fragrances.

Huaizhen walked through the flowers with Hanyan, and saw that there was a huge pavilion in front of him, with a plaque and a plaque named "Ning Xiang", Huai Zhen smiled at Han Yan and said: "The strange road is called 'Ning Xiang Pavilion', there are many fragrant flowers here, which make people smoke and get drunk." ”

Hanyan turned around, and saw that her little face was flushed, which was particularly cute, even if she was in front of thousands of flowers, she felt colorless.

Hanyan stopped, looked at the flowers for a while, reached out, picked a snow-white gardenia, and beckoned Huaizhen to come over.

Huaizhen was inexplicable, so he had to get closer, and Hanyan put the gardenia on Huaizhen's sideburns, measured it for a while, and said with a smile: "The peony contains real pearls, and the beauty folds to the front of the court...... It's time for you!", he said, and laughed.

Huai Zhen felt that she folded flowers for no reason, and her behavior was a little strange, and when she heard this, she saw her eyes and smile, and immediately blushed, and said: "It turns out that my sister is making fun of me! I think you are serious and kind!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to pick the flowers, and he smiled and held her hand, and said, "Good sister, don't pick it, it's very good, but it's too plain...... No, I should pick a bright hairpin for you. ”

It turns out that Huaizhen is only a pale azure dress, and the hairpin with only a pearl is inserted obliquely at the end of the hairpin, in addition, there is no decoration, but the complexion is bright, if the lips are painted with Zhu, the eyebrows are Dai Chunshan, but it is even more beautiful and refined, if it is a bright hairpin flower, it is abrupt, and now the hairpin is a snow gardenia, and there is no trace of fireworks in the whole body, as if it is dusty.

The two of them talked and laughed, and then they arrived outside the Ning Xiang Pavilion, raised their eyes, and saw that Emperor Cheng was already there.

Only next to Emperor Cheng, there was another person sitting with him, and after a glance at it, he lowered his head and whispered to Huaizhen: "That's Princess Qingyan." ”

Huaizhen responded slightly, and the two entered the pavilion, saluted, and Emperor Cheng ordered him to give a seat.

Since she came, Princess Qingyan's eyes have always been on her, seeing that she is such a woman, although she is also a woman, she can't help but feel a little "I see you pity", and she was depressed and self-defeating for a while, and she was speechless.

Emperor Cheng said to Huaizhen: "You have always loved flowers, I specially ordered someone to hold a banquet here, do you like it?"

Huai Zhen said: "Thank you to the emperor, the scenery here is very good." ”

Emperor Cheng liked it very much, so he asked her what she liked to eat, and she had to order someone to prepare it, and Huaizhen said: "I have never been a picky eater, I can do everything, so I don't have to bother." ”

Emperor Cheng laughed and said, "In that case, why are you still so thin? Look at Qingyan, although she is one year older than you, she is much taller than you." ”

Huaizhen couldn't help but bow his head and replied with a smile: "Princess Jinzhi Yuye, I naturally can't compare." ”

Princess Qingyan saw her smiling and lowering her eyebrows, without the slightest arrogance, she couldn't help but think of King Xi's previous words, and only said at this moment: "Father, I have only heard the name of Huaizhen's sister, but when I saw it today, I knew that it was really an excellent character, and my father should have asked us to meet earlier to reads();." ”

Emperor Cheng said: "It's not too late at this moment. He looked at Qingyan again and said, "You have always been a talkative, but you have been silent, I thought you saw Huaizhen, and I was a little afraid of being born." ”

Qingyan said coquettishly: "I thought that when my father saw Sister Huaizhen, he wouldn't pay attention to me." ”

Emperor Cheng was very helpful to these children's words, and he laughed again.

Lunch was ready in an instant, and Emperor Cheng raised his chopsticks, because he said to Han Yan: "I haven't seen you for the past few days, I heard that you are not in good health, have you seen the doctor?"

Han Yan said: "Thank you for the emperor's care, it's not a big deal, it's just that I was blown by the wind before, and I caught a cold, but now I'm mostly better." ”

Emperor Cheng nodded, and asked someone to put the plate of rock sugar walnuts in front of her.

After half an hour like this, he was asking someone to withdraw his lunch and serve refreshments, but the eunuch said, "Your Majesty, the lady concubine is here." ”

Emperor Cheng raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that Concubine Shu was surrounded by a bunch of palace maids and attendants, and came to the front.

Concubine Shu entered the pavilion and saluted: "I heard that the emperor is in high spirits today, feasting guests in the imperial garden, thinking that although the scenery in this garden is good, but there is also wind, the emperor is only happy, but also pay attention to the wind blowing and causing headaches, now it is noon, it is better to go back to the palace to rest for a while." ”

Emperor Cheng was also a little sleepy because of his old age, so he smiled and said: "What Concubine Ai said is very true. ”

Immediately got up, and instructed Hanyan to take Huaizhen and Qingyan to eat tea freely, and then went with Concubine Shu.

The three of them waited until they were gone, and then sat down again. Qingyan said: "Concubine Shu's mother is really careful, thanks to her taking care of her father for many years." ”

Hanyan also smiled and said: "That's right, it's honest and considerate, and no one else can do it." ”

Qingyan said to Huaizhen again: "Sister, do you want to go to my palace to sit?"

Huai Zhen was not familiar with her, and he didn't want to deal with the people in the palace more, so he said: "Thank you princess for your kindness, but I have been here for a long time, and I am afraid that it will be more and more late if I am delayed." ”

Qingyan said, "That's fine, but if you come another day, you must go and sit for a while? ”

Huai Zhen smiled: "How dare you? I thanked the princess first." ”

Qing Yancai also smiled, and was afraid that she would be here, so she would inevitably disturb Huaizhen talking to Hanyan, so she took the opportunity to get up and said, "I'm also a little sleepy, go back to sleep for a while, let's make an appointment, go to my place another day?"

Huaizhen hurriedly got up to respond, and Qingyan took the palace maid to go.

In this way, there were two more people left in the pavilion.

Hanyan looked at Qingyan's back, and said to Huaizhen: "I look at the little princess...... I seem to be very attentive to you. ”

Huai Zhen was also a little surprised, and said, "This is the first time I have met her, but I can't imagine this to me." ”

Hanyan couldn't figure it out, so he just said: "The little princess has a gentle temperament, probably not with any bad intentions, but you still have to pay attention." ”

Huai Zhen also nodded. The two of them drank tea for a while, because they saw that the flowers bloomed very well, so they joined hands and paced among the flowers to enjoy it, until the sun and shadow were slanting westward, and seeing that it was time to separate again, Hanyan hugged Huaizhen and hugged her, and then let her out of the palace to reads();.

But it was said that Huaizhen drove out of the palace and returned to Ying Gongfu, halfway through the car, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the car, and someone asked, "Who is in the car?"

When Huai Zhen heard this voice, his heart jumped for no reason.

At this moment, the little guy who followed replied: "Lord Tang, it is our Miss Huaizhen, who has just entered the palace." ”

But I heard Xiao Tang smile and said, "It's really Huaizhen." Suddenly lowered his voice, and I don't know what to say.

Huai Zhenben was a little breathless, just listening to the outside talking, who knew that he only vaguely listened to a few words, but it was not real, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of wheels, and at first there were still human voices, and gradually the human voices faded a little, but he could no longer hear Xiao Tang's voice.

Huaizhen couldn't help but be slightly anxious, suspecting that Xiao Tang had already gone...... But he just walked away without a whole or an end? without even saying a word?

She secretly thought for a long time, so she couldn't help but reach out and lift the curtain of the car, and glanced out slightly, but who knew that at dusk, the twilight was faint, and the carriage and horses were parked in a not very wide alley, and there were few pedestrians on both sides.

Huai Zhen was shocked, I don't know how, the next to him auspicious said: "Girl, what's wrong?" went to the car window to look up, was also taken aback, and asked, "Where is this?"

Jixiang was about to question the driver when he suddenly heard Xiao Tang's voice sound again, saying, "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, you come." ”

Huai Zhen heard that it was his voice, and his heart was released, and Ji Xiang also heard it, so he smiled and said, "Ah, Lord Tang, what are you doing?" She reacted very quickly, and without waiting for Huai Zhen to speak, she had already left the carriage and jumped out of the car.

Huai Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then heard Ji Xiang ask outside, "Lord Tang, where is this, how can we be here?"

Xiao Tang said: "I have one thing to say to Huaizhen, there is this secluded corner. ”

When Huai Zhen heard this, he finally leaned out of the carriage, looked up slightly, but saw that not far ahead, it was a small tavern, and he looked a little familiar.

Huaizhen turned his head again, but saw that Xiao Tang was by the side of the car, already on the horse, looking at her with his hands in his hands, and seeing her suspicious face, he said, "What are you afraid of?

Huaizhen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Uncle Tang, why did you bring them here?

Xiao Tang said: "I have a few words to say to you, don't worry." Don't you remember this place?"

Huaizhen frowned and looked around, vaguely remembering that he seemed to have been here...... But it was a little unreal, so he said, "I don't want to talk here, I want to speak...... You can go to the house to find me, and it's not too early, it's too late to go back, and the house will be in a hurry. ”

Seeing that she was so vigilant, Xiao Tang reached out and grabbed her wrist, and said, "You girl, I invite her like this, but I still don't give face?" lowered his voice and said, "If you want to be verbose, I'll bring you." ”

In the twilight, Huaizhen felt that his face was hot, and he said in a low voice: "You let go first." ”

Xiao Tang squinted his eyes at her and said, "If you dare to go back...... Just give it a try. ”

Huai Zhen met his threatening eyes, helpless, and sighed: "This person ...... It's so suspicious. ”

Xiao Tang smiled: "It was you who were suspicious first, and I followed the suspicious." As he spoke, he let go of his hand.
