After the prince came back from the Honglu Temple, he went straight back to Kun'an Palace, but he didn't want the queen to gather the show girls to come together and set up a banquet in Kun'an Palace.

As soon as the prince entered the Kun'an Palace, he was taken to the main hall by Se Yun beside the queen, and the show girls saw that the prince was delayed, and they were a little excited, but they didn't want the prince to come, and they couldn't help but look a little excited, and several show girls hurriedly began to tidy up their appearance, in order to leave the best impression on the prince.

The prince understood what was going on from the moment he came in and saw those show girls, and the demeanor of those show girls also fell into the eyes of the prince, and the prince couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to marry a crown princess, but the queen's attitude makes him a little disgusted. He also somewhat understands why his father is always a little impatient with his mother. The queen is always too strong, he wants the crown princess to be able to be in harmony with her and raise eyebrows, but for the queen, the crown princess is the inevitable transaction between her and the royal family, and she is bound to win the position of the crown princess.

The queen hurriedly beckoned the prince to come forward, "Prince, come to the queen mother!" Today is also a rare gathering, everyone should not be restrained, just think of it as if it was in their own home. ”

The show girls hurriedly said yes, but who can really treat Kun'an Palace as their own home, although the queen always feels like a spring breeze, but the majesty from the queen still makes the show girls a little uneasy. Especially when facing the prince, the show girls have everything they want, and they want to leave a good impression on the prince as much as possible.

I'm afraid that the only person who can really be so calm and comfortable at this time is Zong Zhengyang.

The banquet went on step by step, first a bold show girl stood up, held a wine glass and said, "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtiers have just arrived, but they are envious of the queen's demeanor, and I also wish His Royal Highness the Prince all the best, so I dare to give a glass to the queen and His Royal Highness the Prince, and the courtiers will do it first!" ”

The queen smiled slightly, and drank all the contents of the cup, the prince was a little impatient, but for the sake of the queen's face, he also received her salute.

It's just that after such a head, the show girls stepped forward to toast, Zong Zheng Yangxuan was the last, Zong Zheng Yangxuan didn't want to go, but the queen frowned slightly, looked at Zong Zheng Yangxuan, Zong Zheng Yangxuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In the end, he still brought a wine glass to help the fun, "The courtiers wish the queen and the prince can be happy and worry-free in this life." ”

Compared with the previous fancy and gorgeous congratulations, this greeting is really too bland, the prince looked up at Zong Zhengyang, the look on her face was indeed not as earnest as other show girls, but a little more sincere and a touch of melancholy.

The prince couldn't understand it a little, but he didn't have the heart to think about it now.

He just hoped that this banquet would end soon, he was already very tired when he came back from the Honglu Temple, but he still had to deal with the queen and the beautiful girls in this hall, and he was really a little impatient with him, but the queen did not intend to let him go.

Only three days later, the queen issued another decree to recall the prince from Honglu Temple, the prince received the will when he looked helpless, An Sui patted him on the shoulder, now the prince's height has basically been on par with her, and even faintly has a tendency to surpass her.

"The queen also has good intentions, since the queen wants you to go, you can go! I'll leave the matter here to Wechen. ”

The prince frowned and said, "But those show girls are coming for power at first glance, not to mention that although the queen mother said that she was chosen for me, in fact, she had already decided on someone." It makes no difference whether I go or not, whether I choose or not. ”

An Sui remembered the girl she saw that day, and she should be one of the daughters of the family that the queen decided! The appearance is delicate, and there is an indescribable melancholy in her eyes, as if she has just lost something precious, and the sadness revealed in her eyes makes her a little moved.

"The queen has her own plans, if you really don't like it, prince, why might as well ask the emperor what he means?"

The crown prince glanced at An Sui, indeed, this is a good idea.

An Sui saw that the prince already had an idea, when he was in Kun'an Palace before, the prince really didn't give the queen face, and now he can't do it anymore, so he changed his way, "Since the prince already has an idea, then go back to the palace now, don't let the queen wait too long." The prince doesn't like it anymore, and those show girls are also a little innocent. If the prince can be kind to him, be kind to him! ”

The prince nodded, he naturally understood in his heart that most of the show girls other than Zong Zheng Yangxuan were selected by the queen as a foil, and those who would really be selected to become the crown princess would only and could only be Zong Zheng Yangxuan in the queen's opinion.

After the queen only asked the show girls to give the prince a salute, she announced the start of the flower viewing party, "The flowers in the palace are blooming better and better this year, and in previous years, they were less than half of this year." ”

Se Yun answered, "Flowers also understand human nature, and this year's Kun'an Palace is going to be full of happy events, so this flower is also coming in advance to report the good news to the queen mother!" ”

Happy event? The crown prince was canonized, married to the prince, and set up the East Palace, isn't this a happy event?

The queen was happy when she heard this, and said, "What you said is reasonable." Since the full moon is spent, then you can't live up to the beautiful scenery of this good day. Ren Wanyi, you take the show girls to enjoy the flowers, the medicine in the palace is also good at this time, you have to go back and take the medicine first. ”

The queen gently put her hand on Se Yun's hand, and slowly got up and went back to the Jiaofang Palace.

The crown prince sent the queen away, and Ren Wanyi walked in front of the prince, "His Royal Highness the prince, please come with me!" ”

"Then it's troublesome to be a lady!"

The identity of the prince is more noble than Ren Wanyi, and he followed the position of half a step behind the prince's side, and after walking for a while, he left, and the prince walked deeper, although he was a little repulsive to such an occasion, but he also remembered what An Sui said, after all, those show girls were still a little innocent. What's more, the flowers in Kun'an Palace are indeed very blooming, and they are not quite the same as those in the palaces everywhere in the palace, every time he is a little upset, he will come here to take a walk, and his mood will be a little more comfortable. The quiet environment always allows him to calm down and think about a lot of things.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be any quieter time here today.

As the prince walked, he suddenly heard a sigh from in front of him, and for a moment he was curious, and walked forward two steps quickly, only to see a woman standing in the pavilion behind the forest. After a closer look, he understood that the queen had arranged for him to meet Zong Zhengyang alone, and he had always liked the Yulin Lingshui Pavilion here. The queen knew this son of hers too well.

Zong Zhengyang heard the footsteps behind him and turned around, "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The prince nodded, "Flatten!" ”

As soon as the prince put down his robe, he sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, as if he were the master of this place, but it was not impossible to say so, after all, this was actually his territory. Kun'an Palace was originally where he lived, and this Yulin Ling Pavilion was originally his favorite place. Speaking of which, it was really she who seized other people's territory.

Zong Zhengyang was already a little embarrassed, and when he saw him like this, he felt a little more cramped and uneasy. The queen asked her to wait for the prince here, but she didn't tell her what to do after that, she couldn't even speak.

The crown prince raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Why don't you sit down?" ”

Zong Zhengyang sat down at this time.

The prince then looked at the girl in front of him, her appearance is not very outstanding among the show girls, but she has a unique temperament, and a glimpse of it will make people feel bright, but if it is placed in the crowd, it should not be outstanding. She looks a little like the queen, and she looks a little like her cousin, that is, Zong Zheng Yangqing, and now Zong Zheng Zhaorong. But there is something different, she seems to be much more ordinary than them, but she is much more special.

"Why don't you talk again?"

Zong Zhengyang shook his head, "I don't know what to say!" ”

The prince was a little interested, she was sincere, and the corners of her mouth were also dyed with a bit of banter, "Why don't you know what to say, you can say anything." ”

Zong Zhengyang still shook his head, "The courtiers didn't know the prince before, and the prince didn't know the courtiers, so they didn't know anything about each other, so what could they say?" ”

The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, this Zongzheng Yangyu is not the same as what the queen mother said, which is a bit interesting. I thought it was a scheming, but I didn't want to be a little honest and simple. The queen mother had already helped her get to this point, but she didn't know how to continue. Maybe the queen mother chose such a choice, but in the end she had to live up to her own wishes.

"Hongu just heard you sighing next to the pavilion, is it because you have been waiting for Hongu for too long?"

"No, in fact, the courtiers have just arrived. The sigh is not for the prince's sake. ”

"Oh? So tell me, what are you for? The prince asked.

"For the sake of the courtiers themselves." She thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, it doesn't seem to be that it has nothing to do with the crown prince at all. The prince actually doesn't look down on courtiers very much, but the queen must become a courtier. The courtiers didn't feel that they had to enter the palace, but they seemed to have to become the crown princess, otherwise they would be sorry for the whole family. ”

When Zong Zheng Yangyan said this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "Maybe the prince, like the courtiers, was trapped by this boxy palace wall." ”

The prince was slightly stunned, no one had ever said such a thing to him. He was a little shocked, although what hit his heart was more of a deep helplessness, he seemed to suddenly understand something, but he didn't seem to understand.
