The Empress Dowager's face was not good-looking at this time, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, but what was revealed was not a smile, but it made the look on her face look a little helpless.

She looked at Fleur, but her tone was a little interesting: "Fleur, do you think you should let the emperor in?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Rui raised her head and looked at the Empress Dowager, but her face did not even show a look of embarrassment, but the Empress Dowager smiled by herself and said again: "Forget it, you go and invite the emperor in." ”

When the Empress Dowager spoke, her eyes did not look at Furao, and Furao only thought that the Empress Dowager was talking to other palace people, but after waiting for a while, she found that none of the palace people stood up, and then she suddenly realized that the Empress Dowager was actually talking to her.

Fleur was really a little stunned, she stood up hesitantly, and she didn't believe it, but when she saw that she stood up, and the Queen Mother had no expression on her face, and she didn't even raise her eyelids, she was sure, and her steps began to change from slow to fast, and she walked towards the door.

Fleur walked to the door of the dormitory, and without waiting for her to order, the palace man standing at the door had already stretched out his hand to open the palace door.

Zhao Jinyan, who was standing outside the door, had a faint look on his face, and when he saw that the palace door was opened, his eyes looked inside, and he didn't expect that standing at the gate of the palace to greet him was Fu Yuan, his eyes were slightly stagnant, but a smile quickly appeared on his face.

Fu Yuan looked at Zhao Jinyan, and her face was a little involuntarily, showing a smile.

She quickly glanced at Zhao Jinyan, and didn't dare to stay in the other party's face for too long, so she immediately lowered her head and said softly: "Grandmother Huang is waiting for you in the house, and I was ordered to come out to greet you." ”

Zhao Jinyan nodded, he didn't drag the mud and water at this time, he just glanced at Fu Yuan, who was standing on the side and got out of the way, and walked towards the dormitory by himself.

Zhao Jinyan walked into the palace, although his face was flat, but he looked like it was no different from the past, and it was also like in the past, he asked the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, and then he didn't mention anything about it, and there was no difference between him and the Empress Dowager in the palace in the past.

On the contrary, it is the Empress Dowager, but her feelings have not been very high, and after simply saying a few words to Zhao Jinyan, her eyebrows and eyes showed a little tiredness, obviously she had just gotten up, but she was not in good spirits.

She glanced at Fu Yuan, who had been standing silently on the side since Zhao Jinyan entered the house, and seemed to be no different from ordinary palace people, and said: "The mourning family feels a little tired, so I won't leave you, if the emperor is fine, I will greet Fu Hui for the mourning family!" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Jinyan smiled and nodded slightly, but his eyes involuntarily looked at Fu Hui who was standing beside him.

Fleur didn't react, but this scene fell in the eyes of the Queen Mother, but she couldn't help but close her eyes, and only made a tired appearance.

It wasn't until Fu Yuan and Zhao Jinyan walked out of her dormitory that the Empress Dowager opened her eyes, her eyes were a little stunned, and she looked straight at the direction of the dormitory gate.

After a long time, she shook her head and said, "When people are old, they are useless, and what they say is useless." ”

The palace people standing beside the Empress Dowager heard this, hesitated, and said softly: "Empress Dowager, in fact, the county lord of Nanyi is your own granddaughter, and she has the closest relationship with you, but I look at Miss Wen, who did not often enter the palace in the past......"

The palace people have followed the Empress Dowager for many years, and they can be regarded as watching these young generations grow up, so they naturally know that over the years, if the relationship is close, Xia Furui, the lord of Nanyi County, is the most intimate relationship with the Empress Dowager between her grandchildren.

This...... It's clearly doing the opposite, thankless thing.

The palace people were a little confused.

If you talk about why the Empress Dowager wanted to push Furao to the back position, the palace people also know the reason.

The Empress Dowager has been immersed in the power of the palace for a lifetime, that is, after handing over the palace power to the Empress Dowager, but in fact, the real person in charge of the harem has always been the Empress Dowager, and now the Empress Dowager Wen has been ignoring foreign affairs for a long time because of the death of the first emperor and the Empress Dowager, and the emperor did not marry the queen, and the status of the only two concubines was too low to be in power at all.

But once the new queen is married, it is not good for the empress dowager not to hand over the palace power, and the new queen will have a great impact on the queen mother's future palace power. In the end, of course, I am also looking for a child who is close to the Queen Mother and simple-minded to be the new queen.

Among all the candidates, the most qualified is Charva.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager was originally the most optimistic and tried her best to promote this marriage, but neither of them seemed to care.

Now that the two of them are interested, the Queen Mother has changed her attitude and is more optimistic about Wen Jingshu.

Wen Jingshu, as the eldest lady of the Wen family, is naturally a suitable candidate, but in comparison, the palace people still feel that Fu Hui should be more in line with the Queen Mother's wishes.

"Of course Furao is a good child, but the last time I got married, I was afraid that the mourning family's attempt to take care of the overall situation would make the child lose his heart from the mourning family and no longer be close."

The Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead lightly with her hand, her voice was hoarse, in fact, few people knew her attitude at the beginning, and even Hibiscus should not know, but the Empress Dowager still felt that the eldest princess of Jinyang would know, especially when Zhao Jinyan and the eldest princess of Jinyang were very close recently, and the eldest princess of Jinyang knew that according to her character, she would definitely not want to let her daughter suffer, so Fleur should also know.

In this way, the Empress Dowager thought that Fu Hui would not enter the palace during this period of time, and that her attitude towards her had changed after entering the palace, and she immediately felt that she had a suitable reason to explain.

Of course, a person as heavy-minded as the Empress Dowager, even Fu Yuan's attitude has not changed at all, she still can't help but doubt, even if it is a little possibility, she will be cautious.

"Jinyang's ambition is too heavy, and the mourning family first felt that she was Fuhui's mother, but Furong was simple-minded, and there was nothing, but now you see, the relationship between Jinyang and the emperor is getting closer and closer, and the weight of the imperial grandmother of the mourning family in the eyes of the emperor is probably not worth anything...... If Fu Rui sits in the back seat again, I am afraid that Jin Yang's hand will also reach into the palace. "The Empress Dowager is reluctant to admit that she is inferior to her daughter, but over the years, she has been in the harem after all, and the places where her hand can reach are limited, and in some places, she is really not as good as the eldest princess of Jinyang.

But the harem has been kept tightly guarded by the Queen Mother over the years, and now she doesn't want to change the situation at all.

"Jingshu's child, at first, the mourning family had some concerns, but now that he looks, he is the best candidate. It's a pity that now the emperor has a resolute attitude, and the emperor is not a yellow-mouthed child now, so I am afraid that the mourning family will not be able to do anything......"

There was a trace of regret in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager did not take Wen Jingshu into account before, the biggest reason was that Wen Jingshu was too smart, generous and decent, thoughtful and delicate...... Who would have thought that she would care about the former prince for many years, and the empress dowager only saw the clues to this matter after Zhao Jinyan left.

However, the Empress Dowager is very satisfied with Wen Jingshu now, a woman whose heart is dead, no matter how smart and meticulous she is, she is afraid that she will not be able to cause any turmoil.

The palace people stood on one side, listening to the Empress Dowager's words, some of them did not understand it completely, although they did not fully understand it, but the palace people had been with the Empress Dowager for many years, and they could naturally hear the needs of the Empress Dowager.

She thought for a while and said, "Actually, if you want to make the Nanyi County Lord not the queen, there are many ways, if the empress dowager is ......."

The Empress Dowager is in the deep palace, and she can become the final winner, but if she wants to prevent Fu Hui from being the queen, there are naturally countless ways, and she doesn't even need to take action herself. It's just that before the palace people finished speaking, the Empress Dowager suddenly waved her hand and chuckled: "No need, let it be." Fleur is my granddaughter after all......"

When the palace people heard this, they consciously lost their words and quickly closed their mouths. Only when the Empress Dowager cares about family affection will this be the case.

But there are some calculations, that is, the closest palace people, and the empress dowager will not confide in them.

is not to let Fleur sit in this back seat, and it is not necessarily the person in her mind who is in the back seat, not to mention, they are not the only forces that are eyeing the back position. Between her and the eldest princess of Jinyang, after all, the two mothers and daughters are fighting fiercely inside, and that is limited to that, but if they let the forces succeed, it will not be clear.

What's more, in addition to the fear of being taken by other forces, the Empress Dowager knows her own form better, if she really makes Fu Rui unable to sit in the back seat and hurts Fu Rui, then she is doing something stupid, Jin Yang and Zhao Jinyan, I am afraid that it will not make her feel better.

It's just that just letting Fleur sit in the back seat is not her usual style......

The Empress Dowager was supported by the palace people, lay on the couch, closed her eyes and couldn't help but start pondering.

The Empress Dowager's palace, although not the most spacious and ornate of the palaces, is generally one of the best palaces in the palace.

It's just that Fluffie always felt that this palace was built too grandiosely, and there was a feeling of oppression, at least at that moment, after she walked out of this palace, her intuition suddenly opened up, and even her mood began to become much more relaxed.

When he walked out of the palace of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Jinyan was slightly ahead of Fu Hui and walked in front of Fu Hui, but after walking out of this palace, Zhao Jinyan's pace slowed down a lot, and soon he walked side by side with Fu Hui who bowed his head and only cared about walking.

The palace people who followed immediately slowed them down by a step, leaving a good distance.

Fu Yuan didn't notice it, but when Zhao Jinyan walked beside her, she raised her head and glanced at Zhao Jinyan.

happened to look at Zhao Jinyan's eyes smiling at her, she was a little shy, and she was a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't help it, and she still smiled at Zhao Jinyan.

Furui's appearance is actually very similar to the eldest princess of Jinyang, except that she does not have the momentum and sharpness of the eldest princess of Jinyang, she tends to be gorgeous, but her faint smile is very fresh and lovely to look at, with the shyness of a girl, which also makes Zhao Jinyan's heart can't help but become soft at this moment.

He looked at the white and tender face of the hibiscus in the sun, which was not as big as a palm, and there was an urge in his heart to touch it for no reason, but he was rational in the end, and only used a light cough to hide his abruptness.

He looked at Fleur and whispered, "I've been waiting for you for a long time in the main hall of the Imperial Grandmother's Palace. ”

is a simple sentence, but Fleur heard some grievances from it, as if there was a trace of pitiful taste.

Fu Rui squinted slightly, and saw that Zhao Jinyan was looking at him intently, with a hint of flattery in her eyes, she wanted to laugh a little, and was a little moved, she didn't know what to say, of course, the most important thing was that Zhao Jinyan said such unexpected things to him, so that she really didn't know how to answer.

Fleur wanted to pretend to be stupid and not respond, and brought it vaguely in this way, but Zhao Jinyan didn't intend to let her take it so easily, Fleur didn't respond, he didn't speak, and only looked at her with his own gaze.

Fleur was helpless and couldn't do anything, so she had to say "um".

Of course, Zhao Jinyan was still very dissatisfied, but he also knew that Fu Yuan's personality was actually very shy, and it was the limit to be able to respond, so he should be patient and not be in a hurry. So he didn't continue to insist on this conversation, but said softly: "The lotus flowers in the imperial garden bloomed yesterday, I actually wanted you to enter the palace yesterday, but it was too late so I let people take you into the palace today, I didn't expect you to be taken to the palace by the imperial grandmother." ”

"Hmmm......"

Fleur still didn't know how to respond, so she had to respond the same as Fang Cai.

Zhao Jinyan swallowed his saliva when he heard Fu Yuan's response, in fact, he was also very nervous in his heart, although he seemed to have the initiative in control, talking eloquently, and even with ambiguity between the words, but in fact, when it comes to love, he really has no experience and is not skilled at all.

Even at this moment, Zhao Jinyan was even more nervous than the first time he sat on the dragon chair, and his mind was blank.

"I went to see the lotus yesterday, and it bloomed very well......"

When Zhao Jinyan said this, he was actually a little dry.

But Fu Hui was nervous, and she couldn't hear why, anyway, she listened to Zhao Jinyan's words, and she didn't have the heart to think about it carefully.

Originally, the two of them were alone, especially under the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden, they should have taken a slow walk and enjoyed this good time, but because they were both nervous, the pace of walking couldn't help but splendid.

Fu Hui was nervous and walked fast, Zhao Jinyan wanted to keep up with the natural faster, and Zhao Jinyan was nervous and uncertain, this acceleration was much faster......

Originally, they had a good stroll and talk, but in the end, it was like a race walk, obviously some distance away from the pond where lotus flowers were already blooming, and the two of them quickly walked to the end.

And when they walked to the edge of the pool, Fleur suddenly realized that the road was really too smooth, except for the palace people who followed them, they had not even bumped into the palace people.

Although when traveling by royal car, there are usually people holding whips in front of them to open the way, but today there is obviously no sound, and even if someone opens the way, the palace people will not be cleared, but just give way early and kneel on one side to salute.

Fleur remembered that there seemed to be no one else on the road......

She couldn't help but look at Zhao Jinyan, but when the question came to her mouth, she didn't ask, mainly because she was really nervous and embarrassed now, and when she entered the palace today, she actually had a faint premonition in her heart, and she could have a hunch that Zhao Jinyan should have something to say to her today.

Although there was a feeling that she had finally arrived at this time, she had to wait, which made her breathe a little breath in her heart for no reason, but the heart she was carrying has never been put down.

Compared with Fu Yuan's nervousness after breathing a sigh of relief, Zhao Jinyan is getting more and more nervous, and arriving here means that he is going to say what he thought about all night yesterday.

Although he felt that he had gotten along well with Fleur these days, he was not sure if Fleur really wanted to accept him, and even had the same feelings for him......

Zhao Jinyan was also a little hesitant, whether he should say it directly, or be tactful, so as not to scare the other party......

Standing on the edge of the pond, the two of them thought about it, and they stood quietly for a while, and no one spoke, just silent.

The palace people were a little far away, and they didn't know what the situation was on the edge of the pond, but they just looked at the tall and short people standing on the edge of the pond from a distance, and felt that they were extremely harmonious, like a pair of beautiful people......

It's just that after looking at it for a long time, the pair of "beautiful people" are motionless, just standing on the edge of the pond, as if it is a little weird.

The sun is gradually rising, although it is not yet the summer solstice, but the sky is still a little hot, the pond where Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan are standing, although there are weeping willows planted, but the position where the two of them are standing, but it is not under the shadow of the tree.

The rising sun, the bright sun shines directly on the faces of the two, Zhao Jinyan is fine, but Fleur's complexion is already fair and delicate, and when she is slightly sunburned, her face is a little red, Zhao Jinyan looked, but he didn't care about what he thought in his heart, but he just whispered to Fleur: "This sun is shining, why don't you change places." ”

Fu Hui had no objection and moved his position with Zhao Jinyan.

The new position is under the weeping willows, it is also a coincidence, the position where the two of them are standing, but they can't see the blooming lotus clearly, but the two of them are not thinking about the lotus, so they didn't notice this, the position of the new station is to see the blooming lotus clearly, from time to time the breeze blows, the lotus leaves surge, revealing a little pink buds, Hibiscus looked, his eyes couldn't help but look at it motionlessly, and his mouth was even more surprised to Zhao Jinyan and whispered: "It turns out that the lotus really blooms......"

This said, but also Fu Hui's mind to say, now is not the season when the lotus is in full bloom, in previous years, the lotus in the palace actually did not bloom so early, although this year Fu Hui did not think that Zhao Jinyan would favor her, but there are still some doubts in my heart.

However, as soon as she said this, Fleur felt that she was a little speechless, and subconsciously covered her mouth.

But Zhao Jinyan felt a little funny, he looked at Furui, but softly opened his mouth to explain for Furui: "Actually, when the palace people came to tell me yesterday, I was also a little surprised, the lotus flowers in the palace this year did bloom a little early, but it may also be the fulfillment of providence, knowing that I have been looking forward to it for a long time......"

Some words may be difficult to say, but once they are spoken, it is easy to move on.

Zhao Jinyan was the same at this time, after he finished saying the above words, he didn't wait for any reaction on Fu Yuan's face, and slowly continued to whisper: "Do you know my birthday?" ”

“……”

Fleur blinked her eyes twice, but her lips were motionless, she didn't know how to answer, her mind was a little blank, if it wasn't for Zhao Jinyan suddenly mentioning it, she wouldn't have thought of it.

In previous years, Zhao Jinyan's birthday was not great, but it seemed that it had never been a big event, and Fu Hui had never given a birthday gift, so it was too difficult for her to recall it all at once......

Of course, Zhao Jinyan didn't come to test or ask Fu Xingshi about his guilt.

He just spoke again and said softly: "In previous years, I never cared about my birthday, but this year, I have paid some attention to it......"

"The Emperor's Birthday...... It is time for the whole country to celebrate. ”

Fu Hui nodded thoughtfully, the emperor's birthday is the Longevity Festival, and on that day, the excitement in the palace and the capital is needless to say, and in other places, the people will celebrate together.

And Fu Hui thought of the treatment Zhao Jinyan received on his birthday before, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Zhao Jinyan was treated badly before, it would not be enough, at least on the prince's birthday, the people below would give gifts, and there would be rewards in the palace, but Zhao Jinyan, the former transparent prince, was indeed incomparable to her birthday banquet.

"That's not what I meant."

Zhao Jinyan saw that Fu Hui had misunderstood his meaning, and hurriedly explained, "Actually, my birthday is very close to your birthday, a little earlier, this day in previous years, is also the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom...... In previous years, I didn't care about it, but this year I suddenly thought of it. ”

“……”

Fu Hui didn't expect Zhao Jinyan to want to say this to her, she pursed her lips lightly and didn't speak.

"I asked the palace people who specialize in serving lotus flowers in the palace, on the day of your birthday, the lotus flowers in the palace are the best time to bloom, and the palace banquet on the day of the Longevity Festival, I want to put it here...... And Fleur your birthday...... This year is also your time, would you like to put it in one place? ”

In the end, Zhao Jinyan still felt sorry for Furao in the end, and didn't want to embarrass her, so he said it tactfully and tactfully, even if Furao refused, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Of course, the real meaning of the words can still be heard by Fleur.

If the first emperor is still alive, there is no problem with the hibiscus and the ceremony in the palace, and it will not make people think about it, but now that the emperor is gone, although the hibiscus can also be placed in the palace to operate the ceremony, but if the will is issued in the name of Zhao Jinyan, and the place where the ceremony is held is the place where the emperor's birthday banquet has just been held, the meaning will naturally be different.

If Fleur responded, she naturally responded to the two of them.
