97. Ninety-seven, willing

When Fu Hui listened to the advice of the maid below, it had actually been some time since Zhao Jinyan stood under the wall.

She had just finished bathing, and she was lazy, but it was still early and she couldn't rest, so she sat on the edge of the bed and looked through the books by the candlelight, and when she heard the news, she was stunned for a while, and she barely noticed when the book in her hand was closed.

And the person who told the news to Fleur was the maid Qiling who was on duty tonight for Fleur's vigil, and she had just heard the little maid secretly tell her the news outside the house.

Qiling didn't think much of it, and when she heard the news, she immediately ran into the house and told Furui.

In fact, it is also Zhao Jinyan's good luck, tonight, if anyone who keeps vigil by Fuhui's side is replaced by Caixia or two other more stable maids, he may not be able to tell SΓΉ Furui the news, after all, with the identity of the daughter of Fuhui's boudoir, and the eldest princess of Jinyang is in it, telling SΓΉ Furong this news is just embarrassing her, so it is better to pretend not to know.

As soon as she heard the maid tell Zhao Jinyan to wait for Fleur outside, she didn't say a word to Fleur, and after speaking, she looked at Fleur with her eyes attentively, as if she was urging Fleur to hurry up and see Zhao Jinyan outside.

Fu Hui was really a little stunned at this time, after hearing the news, she subconsciously stood up directly, and ran in the direction that Zhao Jinyan was waiting for her that Qiling said, but when she was halfway through, she was blown by the night wind, her mind was clearer, and her pace slowly slowed down.

Qiling chased behind Fleur, and when she saw Fleur stop suddenly, her face was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but urge: "County Lord, why did you stop suddenly...... The emperor is still waiting outside! ”

Hearing this, Fu Rui shook her head, and didn't continue to run, just looked at Qiling and hesitated for a moment, before she opened her mouth and said softly: "Forget it, it's not appropriate for me to go out now......"

As soon as Furao said this, Qiling was not sluggish, and immediately noticed the problem. It's just that Qiling felt that something was not good, and couldn't help but whisper to Fu Yuan: "But, county lord, you can't let the emperor just wait outside like this!" ”

Qiling's words made Fu Yuan couldn't help but purse her lips, she naturally couldn't bear and didn't want Zhao Jinyan to wait outside.

But now at night, it is very inappropriate for her to go out to see Zhao Jinyan.

After thinking about it, Fu Hui looked at Qiling and said softly: "You go find someone, let him pass the word for me later, let the emperor go back quickly, don't wait outside." ”

It's not a very good idea, but at the moment Fluff can't think of anything else, so she just settles.

But Qiling was shocked when she heard this, and she hesitated and didn't immediately carry out Furui's words, Furong looked at her with some doubts, but Qiling said with some panic on her face: "County Lord, if you find someone else, will the eldest princess know about this matter......"

Hearing this, Fu Hui understood Qiling's concerns, and couldn't help but ask a little funny in her heart: "Do you think that my mother won't know about my coming now?" ”

As soon as Qiling heard this, the expression on her face turned pale instantly, and when she thought of the methods of the eldest princess of Jinyang, she was even weaker.

Looking at Qiling's appearance, Fu Hui couldn't bear to scare her, but said softly: "Don't worry, since your mother didn't stop you from telling me about this matter, it means that you have acquiesced, you just go find someone." ”

Qiling was a little calm, she just wanted to find someone, but suddenly she seemed to think of something, hesitated again, and slowly asked: "Didn't the county lord say anything else, just let the emperor go back quickly?" ”

Furao nodded, then thought about it, and said softly: If the emperor has anything to say, you let that person stand for a while and tell me when he comes back. ”

"Yes."

Qiling smiled and responded.

Since the eldest princess of Jinyang already knew about the whole thing, it was not difficult to find someone to pass the word, Qiling casually found a guard at the door and gave the word, and the guard did not hesitate, so he ran directly outside to pass the word.

Qiling did this well, and when she returned to Furao's side, she found that Furao's clothes were thin, and she ran out directly without even a coat, she not only secretly scolded herself, but stepped forward and persuaded Furao softly: "County Lord, the night is cold outside, anyway, you don't plan to go out to see the emperor, why don't you go back to the house and wait......"

"It's fine, and it's not cold right now."

Fu Hui opened her mouth to reply, thought about it and said again: "Anyway, it's just a little bit of effort, since it's out, I'll go back when the emperor goes back......"

As they spoke, Furao and Qiling saw the guards trotting over.

When the guard saw Furui, he didn't dare to look at it more, so he only knelt down and saluted, and then said softly: "The emperor asked the servants to tell the county lord that the county lord should not stand outside and go back to the house early, so as not to suffer the cold." ”

Hearing this, Fu Hui couldn't help but laugh on her face, she couldn't help but fall her gaze in the direction where Zhao Jinyan was standing, although she couldn't see what the people outside the wall were like through the high wall, but ...... But she only felt warm in her heart.

"Your Majesty...... Is that all there is to it? ”

Seeing that the guard said this, Fu Rui didn't say anything else, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in her heart, and couldn't help but ask.

When the guard heard this, he immediately spoke again: "The emperor also said that please rest assured about the matter of the ceremony, as long as the county lord dresses up and participates in it with peace of mind, the emperor has already arranged other things!" ”

After the emperor said this, he also asked the slave to tell the county lord, saying that when the slave watched the county lord return to the house, he would go out to tell him, and he would return to the palace.

After listening to the guard's words, although Furao endured it, she couldn't help but smile on her face.

She nodded, didn't speak again, just looked at Qiling and smiled, "Let's go back!" ”

"Yes."

Qiling couldn't help but smile on her face, she hurriedly answered, stepped forward to hold Furui's hand, and carried her back to the house.

In the early morning of the second day, because of the tossing and turning last night, Fleur rarely got up late.

Caixia, who was on duty today, obviously also heard Qiling talk about last night, but she didn't go to wring Fleur, but only waited for Fleur to wake up before she went up to help Fleur dress up.

And before Fleur finished dressing up, Qingyu suddenly came to the door.

Fu Hui also thought that Qingyu came with the eldest princess of Jinyang's Xingshi to ask for guilt, thinking of last night's incident, she was also a little weak and embarrassed, but thinking that she didn't do too much to do last night, although it was a little unnatural, she still looked at Qingyu with a smile, and asked softly: "Sister Qingyu, is there anything my mother commands?" ”

Qingyu smiled on his face, and when he heard the words, he didn't sell it, and directly said his intention: "It was the eldest princess who ordered the slave maid to come over and tell the county lord about it, and the queen mother in the palace announced that you would enter the palace today, and the eldest princess was unwell today, so she would not enter the palace with you." ”

"Does the Empress Dowager declare me?"

Fleur was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously, but there was a little strange in her heart, mainly at this point in time, it was really a little subtle.

Qingyu saw that Fu Hui was thoughtful, but she was not in a hurry to leave, but said softly: "The princess said that let the county lord think about it, the empress dowager just announced that the county lord would enter the palace to discuss the matter in order to discuss the matter, and just go with a normal heart!" ”

Qingyu's words made Fu Hui finally nod calmly, it was indeed her thinking too much, no matter what the Queen Mother's real purpose was, but she didn't have to think about it, just treat it with a normal heart!

Zhao Jin went to the palace of the Empress Dowager to ask for peace as usual, and it was just a routine thing for him to ask An Ben today, and he didn't plan to stay for a long time, after all, when he was the emperor, there were still a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with, where was there so much free time.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Jinyan's intention to leave after asking for peace, and used a cup of tea to leave, but she couldn't help but smile and said: "If the emperor has nothing important, why don't you sit with the mourning family for a while, and then your cousin Fuhui will also come to the palace to say hello, and it is good that your cousins and sisters rarely see each other." ”

"Fleur wants to enter the palace?"

Zhao Jinyan was a little surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask.

But the Empress Dowager nodded with a smile, and said casually in a flat tone: "Yes, aren't your cousins and the ceremony going to be held in the palace?" After all, it's not a trivial matter, and the mourning family wants to discuss it with your cousin early. If the emperor is interested, why don't you accompany us to talk about it. ”

Zhao Jinyan's eyes couldn't help but look at the Empress Dowager, at this time, the Empress Dowager had a little smile on her face, but her expression was very ordinary, as if she didn't have any expression because of her special arrangement, as if she ...... This arrangement was only an unintentional arrangement by her.

But Zhao Jinyan knew that it was obvious that the Empress Dowager had arranged it on purpose.

The Empress Dowager was afraid that she knew that the eldest princess of Jinyang intended not to let him meet with Furui......

Zhao Jinyan didn't show anything on his face, and he didn't continue to follow the Empress Dowager's words, but smiled and thanked the Empress Dowager: "Thank you for your grandmother's understanding of her grandson!" ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned when she heard this, but soon laughed.

In fact, according to the arrangement of the Empress Dowager today, when Zhao Jinyan came to the Empress Dowager's palace to ask for peace, Fu Hui had already entered the palace and sat in the Empress Dowager's palace.

And when Zhao Jinyan entered the palace of the Empress Dowager, he could see this surprise at a glance.

It's just that I don't know if it's because Furao slept late, or because the eldest princess of Jinyang deliberately intervened, when Furao arrived in the palace of the Empress Dowager, it was obvious that Zhao Jinyan was already sitting in the Empress Dowager's palace.

Fortunately, it was not too late for Fu Hui to enter the palace, and Zhao Jinyan and the Empress Dowager did not wait long.

The Empress Dowager watched Fu Hui Shun Shun Li enter the palace, and did not mention this stubble, but when Fu Hui asked for peace, she smiled and glanced at Zhao Jinyan, who was looking at Fu Hui with burning eyes, and called out with a smile, and said again: "The mourning family remembers that the palace has been arranged, and it just so happens that the emperor is also here today, why don't the emperor take the Fu Hui to take a look for the mourning family?" ”

When the Empress Dowager said this, between the words, there was obviously a taste of joke, Fu Hui only lowered her head shyly, and Zhao Jinyan heard this, but chuckled and said calmly: "Yes, the imperial grandmother can rest assured, the grandson will lead Furao cousin over." ”

After that, he didn't linger any longer, so he immediately got up from his chair, walked to Fleur's side, and said softly: "Fleur, let's go over!" ”

Fleur's face was a little hot, and she was also a little embarrassed by Zhao Jinyan's unabashed attitude, but she was not good at showing too much twisting at this time, so Fleur also hurriedly bowed to the Empress Dowager, and followed Zhao Jinyan out of the hall.

When the two walked out of the main hall, Zhao Jinyan was still walking in front, and Fu Hui was following behind, and slowly Zhao Jinyan's footsteps slowed down.

Fleur didn't feel strange, and didn't slow down her pace, still walking at the speed she had started, but ...... Fu Hui didn't expect it at all, and when Zhao Jinyan walked to the distance in front of her side only half a step away, Zhao Jinyan suddenly stretched out his hand and held Fu Yuan's hand.

Fleur's whole body stiffened, she raised her head involuntarily, and when her eyes met Zhao Jinyan's smiling gaze, her eyes couldn't help but be frightened, and she flickered away.

She secretly used some strength, trying to pull her hand out of Zhao Jinyan's hand.

It's just that Zhao Jinyan didn't mean to let go at all at this time, so Fu Yuan's idea of small strength didn't work at all.

Fu Hui was helpless, so she could only speak softly and said, "You let go, everyone...... Look at it! ”

It was rare for Fleur to make such a gesture of a little daughter, and Zhao Jinyan looked at it, and his heart involuntarily softened. He looked at Fleur's red ears and suddenly wanted to reach out and touch it, but for a serious person like him who has always adhered to etiquette, secretly holding Fleur's hand is already a very remarkable move, and then make other intimate gestures...... He just couldn't do it.

And at this moment, although he still maintained a clear and breezy look on his face, his heart was actually embarrassed to be tight, and he only felt that the delicate skin on the hand of the hibiscus he held was really ...... Hot tight.

Originally, he was just impulsive, and wanted to hold it secretly for a while, and immediately let go after a while, but at this moment he was a little reluctant.

Listening to Fleur's whispered muttering, he wanted to laugh a little...... It was rare to have a teasing thought in my heart: "Don't let it go...... No one dares to look at it! ”

As soon as the words came out, seeing Fu Rui looking at him in shock, Zhao Jinyan was even a little surprised that he would say such a scoundrel one day.

But the words were spoken, and he couldn't take them back, so Zhao Jinyan had to cough lightly to relieve his embarrassment: "That...... The palace that the Empress Dowager said is still being arranged, and the mess is not much to see, so I'll take you to another place to see. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Fu Hui looked at Zhao Jinyan a little speechlessly, obviously wanting to change the topic, she couldn't help but set her eyes on the hand that the two were still holding together, she really didn't know what else to say to Zhao Jinyan.

And without waiting for her to answer, Zhao Jinyan immediately pulled her towards a place.

His pace wasn't too fast, but it wasn't slow either, and it seemed that he had deliberately calculated that it was just enough for Fleur to keep up with him.

The only thing that Fu Yuan was happy about at this time was that Zhao Jinyan was the emperor after all, and when he traveled, the palace people had to avoid it, and the palace people didn't dare to look up at him.

But Rao is like this, every time she passes by the palace people kneeling on both sides, Fu Hui still can't help but lower her head involuntarily, and can't help but think a little bit, so at least they can't see her face.

Fleur let Zhao Jinyan pull her all the way, and it wasn't until Zhao Jinyan stopped that Fleur raised her head.

And when Fu Yuan's eyes fell on the plaque on the palace that Zhao Jinyan had brought her, her face couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and she looked at Zhao Jinyan with some surprise.

But Zhao Jinyan had a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with his move.

Fleur couldn't help but set her eyes in front of this palace again, where she naturally knew, it can be said that she was also very familiar, when the Queen Mother was still Queen Wen, Fleur often came to her bedroom, and this Qifeng Palace, this is also a very eye-catching palace in the palace.

Because it is the palace where the queens of the past dynasties lived, it is in the center of the harem palace, and it is also very close to the sleeping palace of the emperors of the previous dynasty, and there is a road that connects the two palaces, which means that the queen's status is noble and special.

However, what does Zhao Jinyan mean by bringing her here?

If she remembers correctly, since the first emperor left, Empress Wen moved out of the palace here, and this place has always been in a closed state, except for the palace people who routinely come to sprinkle and sweep it every day, the door has not been opened again!

Fleur was thinking about it, but she heard the sound of human voices and the clanging of beams from behind the heavy palace gate.

She was a little curious, and at this time, the heavy palace door suddenly opened, and a eunuch walked out of it. ”

As the eunuch spoke, he turned his head and saw Zhao Jinyan and Fu Hui standing at the gate of the palace at a glance.

The eunuch obviously also has some grades, he has been a saint and has seen Fuyuan, so he naturally recognized the two of them, and he was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the two, so he knelt on the ground with weak legs and asked for peace: "The slave to the emperor and the county lord to say goodbye!" ”

Zhao Jinyan obviously didn't pay attention to what he meant, just nodded, then turned his head to look at Fu Yuan, and said with a smile: "Go in and have a look?" ”

Although there was doubt in his words, the hand had already pulled Fleur in.

Fu Fei didn't resist, so she obediently followed Zhao Jinyan in.

And as soon as she walked into the palace gate, Fleur thought that she was in the wrong place.

Although he only walked into the palace gate, he had not yet entered the palace, but standing at the palace gate, Fu Rui saw the courtyard in the Qifeng Palace, which seemed to be being renovated at this time, the whole courtyard was in a mess, and there was not even a place to put his feet......

Fleur's gaze fell on the place where it should have been a plum forest in Qifeng Palace, and the plum tree was already empty at this time, but it had been dug into a large pond...... Of course, the project is only halfway through, and the pond is only showing a little bit of its appearance.

Fu Hui looked at it attentively, but Zhao Jinyan was standing in Fu Yuan's ear at this time and whispered: "Here, I want the palace people to chisel out a lotus pond, I have asked the craftsman, if you can chisel out the lotus pond and plant lotus flowers now, this year will be able to catch up with the latest lotus blooming scene, I also asked Qin Tianjian, there is an auspicious day of the zodiac in August this year......

"The Emperor's ......"

Furao couldn't help but interrupt, she looked at Zhao Jinyan with some incredulity, could it be what she thought!

Zhao Jinyan didn't flinch at this moment, but slowly spoke: "I can't wait, Furui, I plan to make an order after you and the ceremony." ”

"But ......"

Fleur instinctively wanted to object, but she only said two words, but she couldn't think of what to say next.

"Fleur, I have already asked my aunt, and my aunt said that if you answer, she will not stop you."

After Zhao Jinyan said this, he also held Fleur's other hand, he was facing Fleur's gaze, and said softly: "Fleur, are you willing?" ”
