Although Nalan Rongruo and Rong Yue are cousins, there are no more than twenty words that can be said except for the invitation and courtesy, so Rong Yue really can't think of what Nalan Rongruo invited him to do, although he can't think of it, he still has to go back and listen.

Nalan Xingde stood beside the vermilion lacquer city gate, holding the copper nail on the door with one hand, his eyebrows frowning slightly, as if he was worried about something.

"Big brother is looking for me?" Rong Yue asked tentatively.

"......It's nothing," he said in a low voice, "Sister Law...... Ask the master of Yikun Palace on behalf of him. He said softly.

Although these words are confusing, it is not against etiquette, Rong Yue quietly looked over, and saw that his expression was as usual, so he laughed at himself for being suspicious, and said with a smile: "My sister must convey it, and I will also ask my sister-in-law on my behalf." ”

"Thank you, sister." Nalan nodded slightly, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, smiled dryly, and said, "Sister, get on the sedan chair." ”

This delay fell behind, Rong Yue changed the soft sedan chair in the palace, and continued to walk with Ning Lan and He Xuan.

After walking a short distance, I only heard a male duck voice of the waiter: "The two are the maids of the Niu Colu family?" ”

Ning Lan said: "It's my family's Gege. ”

The soft sedan chair over there stopped, and the curtain was opened with Xuan, and Ning Lan got off the sedan chair with her. Rong Yue saw that the person was thin, and he was indeed a little familiar, he should have seen it in Cining Palace, but he couldn't name it.

"I don't know who my father-in-law is?"

The man respectfully greeted Rong Yue before saying, "The slave is Xiao Zhaozi, the servant of Cining Palace." And said: "A few years ago, a few chime plum trees came up from the south of the tribute, and they have not bloomed, but it happened that the brushes have bloomed early this morning, and the queen mother was happy, and called the masters of the palace to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and I heard that you were coming, so I asked you to go together, so the master called the slaves to wait for you." ”

Rong Yue was a little surprised, and listened to the man again: "Gege, please." As he spoke, he shook the dust in his hand and made a gesture of please.

Rong Yue had heard of these non-flowering plum blossoms, and my sister was looking for a florist a while ago, which didn't seem to be a fraud.

Thinking of this, Rong Yue smiled and said: "Father-in-law, wait a minute, I originally thought that I would go directly to Cining Palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager's birthday, so I brought a lot of congratulatory gifts, and it was inconvenient to hold them, I don't know if I can ...... Let my maid be sent to Cining first? He said and looked at Hexuan.

Xiao Zhaozi glanced at the gift box in He Xuan's hand, nodded and said, "Gege is convenient." ”

Rong Yue had no choice but to say a few words, and shook He Xuan's hand heavily, and the latter woke up and grabbed her hand violently.

Rong Yue smiled slightly, withdrew his hand, and took Ning Lan to follow Xiao Zhaozi to the Imperial Garden.

The Imperial Garden is adjacent to the Shunzhen Gate, far closer than the Cining Palace, at this moment the plum blossoms, narcissus, spring, Ruixiang, white magnolia, purple magnolia in the garden are opened, there is a unique charm.

Rong Yue didn't have the slightest intention to appreciate it, thinking about the strangeness of this matter, the Empress Dowager knew that it was not unusual for her to enter the palace, but she usually asked her to come over to talk, this Xiao Zhaozi didn't seem to be an important person, so according to the Empress Dowager's personality, how could she send someone to invite her casually?

Besides, it's Holy Birthday Day...... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stop, it was precisely because of the Holy Birthday Festival that there were many people in the palace, and it was very likely that there would be idle people in the imperial garden.

Thinking of this joint, Rong Yue was sure that no matter whether she offended the Empress Dowager or not, she would definitely not be able to follow her, so she whispered to Ning Lan a few words.

Xiao Zhaozi saw her stop and asked, "Gege, please quickly, I'm afraid that I will be blamed by the Empress Dowager if I am late." ”

Rong Yue squeezed Ning Lan's hand, covered her abdomen with one hand, frowned, and bowed down in pain.

On the side, Ning Lan hurriedly supported her, and said to Xiao Zhaozi: "Father-in-law Zhao, my family Gege is unwell, I am afraid that I will lose my honor when I see the Empress Dowager, and it will also spoil his old man's interest in appreciating the flowers. ”

She said this loudly in order to attract attention.

When Xiao Zhaozi heard her words, he was a little anxious, and Rong Yue could almost conclude that there must be something strange about this matter.

"The Empress Dowager summoned, how can you say that you will push it, Gege is also a child's play, or endure it again, this is the time, when the Empress Dowager sees you, and then summons the imperial doctor to you for diagnosis and treatment, we can get out of the way, otherwise, I am afraid that even Niu Colu Niangniang will be implicated." That Zhao Gonggong urged even more.

Rong Yue retreated again and again, and Xiao Zhaozi was about to pounce on him, Ning Lan exclaimed: "Palace Forbidden Garden, what are you going to do?" ”

Rong Yuexin said, this place is close to the middle of the imperial garden, if there is really a foreign minister here, seeing the two of them twisting with a eunuch, it will inevitably damage their reputation, but with only the two of them, it is not easy to capture a young eunuch, so I have to delay the plan first, hoping that He Xuan has found her sister and come to the rescue as soon as possible, so she said: "Father-in-law Zhao is not in a hurry, it is really my abdominal pain at the moment is unbearable, can you let me slow down." ”

Xiao Zhao looked at her suspiciously, and saw that the beads of sweat on her forehead were like soybeans, and her pain was not like pretending, so she hesitated and agreed to rest for a while.

Rong Yue quietly pulled out the lantern hairpin inlaid with red gold skein in his hand, and the waiter just turned around and closed it in his eyes, knowing in his heart, his facial features were hideously deformed, and Rong Yue and Ning Lan were shocked when they were women.

The man stretched out his hand to grab Rong Yue, but was stabbed by Ning Lan obliquely through a sharp silver hairpin, unexpectedly, the man knew some fist and foot kung fu, dodged in a flash, grabbed Ning Lan's wrist with his backhand, Rong Yue was shocked, retreated and ran back, but because of the difficulty of the palace shoes, he broke his foot and fell to the ground.

said that it was too late, and then quickly, only to hear the sound of popping and cracking the sky, a stone hit Xiao Zhaozi's leg, and the latter fell to his knees at once.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed in front of him very quickly, and an iron fist struck out, and the eunuch fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and was forced to lose two teeth.

The man in green clothes then stepped forward and grabbed the eunuch's shoulder, clicked, unloaded one of his arms, and then went to fish for his other arm.

The eunuch was not idle, his left leg knelt on the ground, one turned around, and his right leg swept across. The man in Tsing Yi jumped up, but he also let go of his arms.

Xiao Zhaozi suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Rong Yue, the man in Tsing Yi was startled, and he went over to protect Rong Yue behind him, but gave Xiao Zhaozi a way out. The latter hurriedly grabbed the road and fled for his life.

"How did you get here?" Seeing Xiao Zhaozi running away, the people in Tsing Yi helped Rong Yue up, and his voice could not hide his worry, and he was anxious: "Don't you know that the imperial brother is going to bring his ministers here to enjoy the flowers, and all the ladies are in Cining Garden?" ”

Rong Yue saw the man's face clearly, it was originally the fifth son of Lord Shunzhi, and Chang Ning, who had crowned Prince Heshuo Gong.

In the rebellion of the three feudatories, he asked for orders to go to the front line to fight, the empress dowager felt sorry for her grandson and did not allow it, but he actually knelt outside the Cining Palace for two days in a row, and the empress dowager had no choice but to agree to him, and obeyed the order under the command of the king of Ningnan Jingkou, Doro Shuncheng County, Leer Jin, and came back at this time for the Empress Dowager's longevity.

Rong Yue was stunned, his hands grabbed his sleeves tightly, his mouth opened, and he couldn't say a word.

Chang Ning asked Ning Lan on the side: "Can you still go?" ”

Ning Lan was a little bolder, nodded, and said, "Yes!" ”

"The ministers are afraid that they are already in the garden at this moment, you must leave here quickly, if people see it, it will become a joke in this life." Chang Ning said and helped Rong Yue to leave.

How could Rong Yue just break his foot, and it was inconvenient to walk in the flower pot shoes, Chang Ning was in a hurry, hugged the person horizontally, turned his head and said to Ning Lan: "Keep up!" ”

He grew up in the harem since he was a child, and this imperial garden is even more jumping, and the familiarity is comparable to his own backyard, picking up the secluded and desolate place to walk, thinking that he has taken a shortcut, and after a while, he will see rows of vermilion palace walls.
