38. Shunfu

Yan Qiu stood there quietly and listened to Zhao Jin's story, without answering, she had always felt distressed for Zhao Jing at this time.

"The woman and my ...... The mother concubine is really like ......" Zhao Jin took a long time to say such a sentence. His voice was so hoarse that it made people feel sad when they could hear it. Yan Qiu didn't know that Zhao Jin was lying on her shoulder, and there was a dark light in his eyes, which was terrifying.

"I heard the imperial brother say that her surname is Xun ......" Zhao Jing said such a sentence for a long time, and she was headless and brainless, which made Yan Qiu feel surprised for a while. Last name? What does this have to do with Zhao Jin's mother?

"I always thought he was partial enough, but I didn't expect them to be more ruthless to their mother." At this moment, Zhao Jin was more like a fragile child, he hugged Yan Qiu tightly, seeking a trace of comfort.

"Your Highness, you and me, I'...... will be with you. Yan Qiu gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

Zhao Jin held Yan Qiu's hand tightly when he heard this, and the strength in his hand was amazing, as if he wanted to integrate Yan Qiu into his body.

"Remember to remember your words today." The candle flame crackled, Zhao Jin stretched out his slender hands, caressed Yan Qiu's face, and his tone became weird.

Yan Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Good" The longer she gets along with Zhao Jin, the more she feels sorry for Zhao Jin.

The two of them hugged each other tightly like this, and the long figure fell on the window, which looked particularly warm, and there was a vein of warmth flowing between the two in the room.

The two of them stood like this for a long time that night, and did not fall asleep until the dead of night.

Yan Qiu, who was lying on the bed, did not fall asleep, she never thought that His Highness had been so poignant.

In any case, I am afraid that the relationship between that woman and Her Highness is not the kind of relationship she and Cai Wei thought, or that His Highness does not have that kind of mind, otherwise it would not be what it is today.

Moreover, what does His Highness mean when he says, 'The true image of her and her mother'? Who is she? Is that the woman today? Yan Qiu turned to look at Zhao Jin's sleeping face and closed his eyes.

Early the next morning, when Yan Qiu woke up, she found that Zhao Jing had already gotten up and was no longer by her side.

Yan Qiu grabbed his shoes and got out of bed, and asked softly, "Where is His Highness Caiwei?" ”

Cai Wei was packing up the futon, and when she heard this, she turned around and replied, "Back to the master, Your Highness is now in the study." After speaking, she said again: "The slave maid looks at His Highness's face is not right......"

Yan Qiu nodded, signaling that he understood. "Prepare for the morning, I will go and ask His Highness to come back for dinner." After Yan Qiu waited for the maidservants in the palace to finish dressing her, she stood up from the dresser and said to Cai Wei, and then dragged her long skirt and walked out.

Zhao Jin's study was not far from the house where Yan Qiu lived, and he didn't walk a few steps to get there.

When Yan Qiu pushed the door in, Zhao Jin was in a daze at a portrait. Seeing this, Yan Qiu didn't bother, just looked at Zhao Jin quietly.

It wasn't until Zhao Jin turned around that Yan Qiu smiled and said, "Why did Your Highness get up so early?" ”

Zhao Jin did not answer, but continued to look at the picture scroll in front of him. Yan Qiu walked over quietly, stood beside him and looked at the painting in his hand, and did not ask questions.

The scroll was slightly yellowed, as if it had been some year old. In the painting, the woman is smiling gently, holding a fan, looking at the boy who is playing next to her, her eyes are full of love.

Zhao Jin looked at this painting, his eyes were silent and stormy, and he didn't know who it was. Yan Qiu knew that this was probably His Royal Highness's mother concubine, the former Jade Concubine Niangniang.

"This is my mother's concubine" Sure enough, Zhao Jin saw Yan Qiu glance at the picture scroll and said lightly.

After Yan Qiu heard this, he sighed in his heart, but he still said silently: "The Jade Concubine Niangniang is really beautiful."

Zhao Jin didn't answer, and stood silently. The morning sun rises from the sky, shining through the window into the study, and the desk is covered with intricate window decorations. He reached out and held Ye Qiu's hand and said, "Let's go."

Yan Qiu followed obediently

Yan Qiu lowered his eyes and went out.

Maybe it was because Zhao Jin was in a bad mood, he didn't eat much in the morning, and Yan Qiu didn't persuade him because his face was not good. He just silently picked out some vegetables and put them in a bowl for him.

"Is Your Highness just going out?" After breakfast, Zhao Jin put on the cloak that Yan Qiu embroidered for him, and it seemed that he was ready to go out.

Zhao Jin paused and said, "Don't think nonsense." The voice was small, but she heard it. Yan Qiu suddenly smiled, it turned out that he knew her worries, and it turned out that His Highness also had times when he was not sluggish.

She looked at Zhao Jinyuan's back lightly and didn't speak, she already knew. It wasn't until Zhao Jin walked away that she sighed softly and muttered, "Your Highness be careful" and then turned around and entered the house.

At this time, Cai Wei came in with the maidservant to clean up the dinner table, and saw Yan Qiu in a daze in the direction of Zhao Jin's departure, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her heart that her master really put enough thought into His Highness, and as soon as His Highness went out, the master remembered it.

"Cai Wei, go and see if the girl is leaving, ......" Yan Qiu turned around and sat in front of the window, looked at the begonias blooming in the courtyard, and ordered.

She didn't want to find out anything, she just wanted to know what she encountered when Her Highness went out with King You, and His Highness was so strange today, it was not like him who was cold in the past.

Cai Wei replied softly and curttied. Ever since Zhao Jin asked her to come to Yan Qiu's side, she knew that she was Yan Qiu's person, so she would never refuse what Yan Qiu told her to do.

Yan Qiu saw that Cai Wei was so loyal, and her heart was also soft. At the same time, she also thanked Zhao Jin for giving her such a caring maidservant, thinking that when she first entered the Ji Palace, she found that Cai Wei was hiding something, and she was afraid that Cai Wei would plot against her.

Even when she first arrived in Youzhou, she had always been suspicious of Cai Wei's behavior, and now that she thinks about it, she is really a little stupid.

At noon, Cai Wei came in and told Yan Qiu what happened yesterday. It turned out that Zhao Jin and Zhao Shen went out yesterday and met a woman who was startled by a car, and the carriage was running wildly on the street, and then Zhao Shen ordered someone to save the carriage.

It was already night, and Zhao Shen didn't know why he brought the woman back.

Because it was Zhao Shen's decision, although Zhao Jin felt that although it was really inappropriate to take a woman back to the house at night. But in the end, there was no obstruction, after all, Zhao Shen had done too much for him, and he also respected this big brother in his heart.

After figuring out what happened, Yan Qiu was still confused. I really can't figure out what connection this has with Zhao Jin's abnormality last night.

"Cai Wei, you are an old man serving His Royal Highness, do you know anything about the Jade Concubine?" Yan Qiu called Cai Wei and asked after thinking about it for a long time.

"Back to the master, the Jade Concubine went early, and the slaves and maids didn't know about the Jade Concubine." The affairs of His Highness, they as slaves and maids never dared to ask, so they didn't know much.

Hearing Cai Wei's words, Yan Qiu was not disappointed, she didn't plan to be able to inquire from Cai Wei.

At this time, the news came that the woman had been sent back to the house.

Mingkang Fang in the west of the city

"Master, the third girl is back." Xun Song was comforting his old wife when he heard the news of Cheng Bo, the gatekeeper in the house.

"Hey, my Yun Shu is back, hurry, go out and see Yun Shu." The old lady of Xunfu wiped her tears. Immediately hurriedly stayed, supported by his little daughter-in-law, with a steady pace.

"Grandmother" Xun Yunshu stood in front of the hall and choked up when she saw her grandmother, who had always loved her, with tears in her eyes.

"This is the old lady of Xunfu!" The woman's melodious voice sounded, and the old lady noticed Minghua. Minghua is served by Cui Yun's side, and the maidservants of large families are more expensive than the girls of small families, and Yunhua has also been infected with wealth over time.

In the eyes of the old lady, she was richly dressed and had excellent manners. I only felt that standing in front of this woman, a majesty came to my face.

"Grandfather and grandmother, this is the maidservant girl next to Princess You, Miss Minghua." Xun Yunshu's eyes were slightly red, and he took Mrs. Xun's hand and introduced.

"Miss Minghua sent the old woman and granddaughter back, presumably because she was tired, if the girl doesn't dislike it, please go to the hall and drink a cup of coarse tea." The old lady said.

"The slave and maid will not bother the old lady for a long time, and the princess is still waiting for the slave and maid to go back to her life." Minghua saluted, a style of everyone. Let Xun Song, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but say secretly, sure enough, she is worthy of being the maidservant next to the princess, this atmosphere is what their small family has.

"Since this is the case, then the old woman will not keep Miss Minghua, please Miss Minghua take the old woman to greet the princess." Although Mrs. Xun was born in the countryside, she has dealt with the wives in the officialdom over the years, and she knows some rules.

After sending Minghua away, Xun Song took Xun Yunshu to his study.

What the two said, Mrs. Xun didn't know, but when Xun Yunshu came out, she had a smile on her face.

"Shu'er, grandmother doesn't want you to follow your aunt's old path!" The old lady took Xun Yunshu's hand and sighed. But as early as when the Minghua girl beside the princess sent Shu'er back, she understood that Shu'er was inevitable.

"Grandmother......" Xun Yunshu didn't understand why her grandmother suddenly sighed, just asked again, grandmother she just gently stroked her head, shook her head and said nothing.

On the second day, the Xun family went to the Youwang Mansion to thank Youwang, and Xun Song didn't know what he would face when he went.

To Xun Song's surprise, he thought that he would not be received by His Royal Highness King You, but who knew that he was now sitting in the study of King You's Mansion.

"Lord Xun doesn't need to say thank you, it's just a gesture." Zhao Shen said with a smile, with a kind appearance, which made Xun Song flattered.

"I heard that Lord Xun once had a daughter who entered the palace in the eighth year of Chengtai?" Zhao Shen picked up the teacup and seemed to ask inadvertently.

But Xun Song knew that this was not inadvertent. "Exactly, the old husband and the young daughter are the palaces that Chengtai entered in the eighth year."

There was a soft sound in the room, and Xun Song didn't notice it, but Zhao Shen glanced at it......
