The will to crown the fifth prince as the crown prince has been sent down to the Mingxi Palace.

Mingxi Palace was full of joy, even the grandmother guarding the door was smiling, and even Zhou Ying, who was unpopular because of the intensification of the conflict with Xu Guifei during this period of time, came to the door with a good face for the first time.

The gatekeeper pointed to a little palace maid who had just left her head and reported it inside.

The little palace maid is childish, but the rules are skillful, one board and one eye, but in the end she is childlike, she can't help but sneak a glance at Zhou Ying when she turns the corner, and is curious about Zhou Ying, the famous regent princess who has attracted countless criticisms, but is facing Zhou Ying's eyes.

Zhou Ying smiled back, so frightened that the little palace maid shrank her neck and disappeared around the corner.

Zhou Ying smiled to herself, and looked up at the yellow tile and red wall of Mingxi Palace, the palace is a tall building. I haven't come to the door for a long time, but this Mingxi Palace seems to have been frozen in time, just like when she was picked up by Xu Guifei from Xiuyu Palace, luxurious and rich, warm and fragrant. It's a pity that this temple, which allowed her to escape from the wolf's mouth and brought her some warmth of home, is destined to be destroyed in her hands today.

The little palace maid reported her return and said that Concubine Xu was in the small Buddha hall.

Zhou Ying rewarded the little palace maid with a purse and refused her to lead the way. This little palace maid was forgetful and got a purse from Zhou Ying, but she was not afraid of her, and asked, "Does the princess really not have to lead the way?" Far away. ”

The doorkeeper next to her dragged the little palace maid, afraid that the little palace maid's ignorant eyes would offend Zhou Ying.

The little palace maid remembered Zhou Ying's fearful reputation, and her face turned pale.

Zhou Ying smiled comfortingly, "It's okay, I know the road." The little palace maid didn't slow down, and shrank behind the skirt of the gatekeeper.

Zhou Ying didn't think it was a pestle, and turned her head and strolled towards the small Buddha hall. Back then, in order to enter the imperial study as soon as possible, she picked up Buddha beans in the small Buddha hall for more than a month before she was recommended by Xu Guifei...... Now that I calculate, it was ten years ago, and it's no wonder that these newcomers don't know why.

Guarding in front of the small Buddha hall is an acquaintance, it is Cherry.

Back then, lychees were more valued by Xu Guifei, but she lost the five princes during the southern tour, lost the favor of Xu Guifei, stayed in the palace for a few years, and got out of the palace to marry when she was old. The more welcoming cherry stayed, combed herself as an aunt, and became Xu Guifei's confidant.

Cherry was not surprised to see Zhou Ying, but when she saw Qiao Rong behind Zhou Ying, she was very surprised.

Qiao Rong, as the head of the inner house, has always been close to the emperor, and if he has nothing important, he will definitely not be sent out. Why did he come here with Zhou Ying today, Cherry was suspicious, but then he thought that his fifth prince had become the crown prince, and as we all knew that the emperor was dying, Qiao Rong, the chief eunuch, saw that the situation was not good, and it was not impossible to find a good home in advance.

However, Qiao Rong, as the chief eunuch, does not know how many apprentices and grandchildren there are in the palace, and he is the most clear-sighted and deaf, so it is impossible not to know that Xu Guifei and Zhou Ying are not in harmony. If Qiao Rong wants to curry favor with the future queen mother, he will not come with Zhou Ying.

Especially Qiao Rong followed behind Zhou Ying with low eyebrows, this respectful attitude was something that even Xu Guifei had never enjoyed.

Cherry vaguely felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward with a smile, trying to stop the inquiry. Zhou Ying glanced at Cherry apologetically, raised her hand to call someone, and commanded softly: "Father-in-law Qiao, please Aunt Ying go down to rest, don't alarm the concubine." ”

Cherry couldn't understand that Zhou Ying was so bold that she dared to touch Xu Guifei's henchmen, but when she saw that Qiao Rong didn't question her, she stepped forward to take her, Cherry seemed to understand something, but she couldn't believe it, her pupils dilated instantly, and her eyes were frightened, "Niangniang, it's the emperor's ......"

Without shouting the whole sentence, Cherry was gagged and dragged down.

Xu Guifei in the small Buddha hall heard the movement and was a little unhappy when she was disturbed, she asked out loud: "Cherry, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Ying watched the cherry struggle desperately, but the figure that was unable to break free disappeared behind the rockery, and the heart said that this was the first one. She took one last look at the familiar temple, pushed the door in, and smiled, "Queen Mother, it's the retainer who has come to see you." ”
