As soon as Zi Yan walked into Zhaoyang Palace, she didn't feel good in her heart, the carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but she couldn't see the master's face.

Xiao Qianxue held Zi Yan's sleeve and muttered; "Aunt Huang, when will the queen mother come back, she doesn't want us anymore?" Looking at the little girl's longing appearance and looking forward to her mother's return, Zi Yan only felt sad, Xiao Yunkai squatted on the side, silently lowered her head, and looked very sullen. Zi Yan hugged Xiao Qianxue and said softly and comforted, "Xue'er is good, the queen mother will be back in two days, you are a big sister and take good care of your younger brother." ”

Xiao Qianxue nodded, and said in a milk voice; "I'll take care of my brother, Cher believes that my aunt won't lie to me."

"Xue'er, although your aunt went to the Taiji Hall to see her father, your father was tired in the past two days, and your aunt made him soup, let's send it to him." Zi Yan came to Zhaoyang Palace to visit Miss Qianxue's brother, and secondly, she took Qianxue to see Murong Yichuan, Zi Yan understood that Xiao Qianxue was Murong Yichuan's weakness.

Zi Yan took Xiao Qianxue out of Zhaoyang Palace and went straight to Taiji Palace.

At this time, Murong Yichuan was handling government affairs in the imperial dining room, as if after leaving, Murong Yichuan woke up every day in addition to thinking about being busy, he didn't want to have time to stop, so that his heart would not be tormented by lovesickness. Even though the spring outside the window is picturesque and the wind and sun are beautiful, Murong Yichuan has no intention of appreciating it, and he is worried about the world, and he is sparse with the warbler Yanyan.

Seeing Zi Yan and Qian Xue Murong Yichuan's expressions a little better, "Brother Huang, this is the pork liver soup I made myself, you have been working very hard lately, you should be good at nourishing." Zi Yan took a white jade pot from Caiyun's hand, and then saw that the contents of the pot were gently poured into the white jade bowl, and in an instant, a fresh fragrance flowed, "Zi Yan, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't eat it." Although the smell of the soup in front of him was tempting, Murong Yichuan had no intention of tasting it, "Brother Huang, this is so good that someone personally cooked it for you, now that my sister-in-law is not here, I will take care of you on her behalf, see that your whole person is clear, if your sister-in-law comes back and sees you like this, she will be distressed." ”

Speaking of Murong Yichuan, a trace of deep sorrow passed through Murong Yichuan's tired face, "If he still cares, I won't say goodbye." ”

Obviously, Zi Yan heard a little complaint from the other party's tone, "Xing sister-in-law also has unspeakable secrets, to say something that the royal brother may not like to hear, you promised your sister-in-law that there were no concubines in the six palaces, but after more than three years, your harem is full of warblers and butterflies, I don't believe that you and those crazy people are playing on the spot, what sister-in-law is afraid of is not that your body is given to others, but that your heart is occupied by others, I also know that since ancient times, the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards are common, you can't be single-minded, why did you allow her to be single-minded in the first place." ”

In the face of Zi Yan's reproach, Murong Yichuan didn't get angry, but just sighed deeply, "I always want to have more children and grandchildren, as if I have been wronged, I also admit that I have a good impression of Cao Xiujuan, as if I can be angry with me, mess with me, or even ignore me, why do you want to leave quietly, leaving me and Xue'er Yunkai, I don't even have a direction to find her, although it is said that if it is peaceful today, but if you don't keep it, you will encounter accidents, she-" Before the words were finished, Murong Yichuan only felt that his throat was tight, and he could only turn the next words into a frequent sigh.

"Brother Huang drank the soup, this is made by others, otherwise it will be cold." Zi Yan sent the soup to Murong Yichuan, and seeing that he was still hesitating, Zi Yan winked at Xiao Qianxue on the side, and the little girl understood, "Father, you just drink the soup, if you don't get along with Xue'er, you don't want your father," the little girl hugged Murong Yichuan's neck from behind, and it was coquettish and threatening, so Murong Yichuan had no choice but to surrender, although he still didn't know how to eat, he still reluctantly drank the soup.

Zi Yan took out Spa and carefully helped Murong Yichuan wipe the soup marks from the corners of his mouth.

Murong Yichuan saw the crested hairpin on Zi Yan's head, and suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly said solemnly; "The queen mother has to force me to abolish the position of the queen, I heard that she quietly brought the little sister of Xiao Kunpeng, the prince of Rongguo, into the harem and asked the imperial sister-in-law of Ningshou Palace to teach her court etiquette, Zi Yan, you must try to persuade the queen mother to dispel this idea, even if she has committed an unforgivable crime, she is the only mother of the country in this Taizheng Dynasty."

When Zi Yan heard this, her color suddenly changed, "Is there such a thing?" How can the queen mother be like this, brother Huang, don't worry, I will definitely persuade the queen mother, but don't worry too much, with my understanding of the queen mother, she may not really want to abolish the position of the queen sister-in-law, the queen is shaken by the matter, she wants Xiao Xiangyi to enter the palace I guess the queen mother wants to use the sister-in-law to leave the palace to force the royal brother to take Xiangyi by her side, although the sister-in-law and the late Xiao Suen and Tongping Zhang Xiao Suyuan worship as brother and sister, she was also given the surname Xiao, but she is not the flesh and blood of the Xiao family after all, the queen mother still hopes that there is a real daughter of their Xiao family in the harem. ”

Murong Yichuan listened carefully to Zi Yan's analysis before he suddenly realized, "Zi Yan, you have really grown up." ”

Slowly, Murong Yichuan felt that his hair was heavy, his eyelids were constantly fighting, and he was sleepy, "Why do I feel so sleepy, Ziyan, did you add something to the soup?" Murong Yichuan tried hard to keep his head clear, and his keen intuition made him judge that Zi Yan had added content to the soup he drank, and Zi Yan smiled, "Brother Huang has been too tired lately, I want you to rest and rest." After the words fell, Zi Yan asked Caiyun and Chu Xia to help Murong Yichuan, who was already slightly unconscious, to rest in the side hall with her, and at the same time, Zi Yan wanted Chu Xia to stay in the side hall to serve, and there was no need to go back to the imperial dining room for the time being.

Zi Yan returned to the imperial dining room and began to look for what she wanted.

Murong Yichuan's imperial dining room is divided into two rooms, in addition to some treasures piled up on the shelves of the outhouse, Murong Yichuan has to read all kinds of books on weekdays, including four books and five classics, as well as classics of previous dynasties, books related to statecraft, as well as all kinds of military books and strategies, in addition to high-quality pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and various jade, stone or wood carved weapons, such as jade axes, stone swords, wooden knives, etc.

Zi Yan didn't find what she was looking for in the outhouse and went to the inner room, except for a dragon bed, the inner room was no different from the outhouse, there were books, treasures, playthings, the four treasures of the study, and the piano and chess on the shelves.

Zi Yan believes that the things she wants must be in the imperial dining room, where is it placed? Zi Yan patiently searched carefully.

Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the imperial dining room at will, and Zi Yan only has Xiao Qianxue as a helper by her side, "Auntie, do you see this?" The little girl took out something from under the pillow of the dragon bed and handed it to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan looked at it fixedly, and was overjoyed, it was a bamboo slip.

Zi Yan took the bamboo slip from Qian Xue's hand and looked at it carefully, "Xue'er, you have made a great contribution, this is what I want." ”

Through the strange aroma emanating from the bamboo slips and the small characters of the hairpin flowers on it, you can conclude that the bamboo simplicity in your hand is what you are looking for.

Zi Yan took out the bamboo slips from her arms that were the same as those in her hands, except for the fragrance, and put them back in their place.

After arranging a qiē, Zi Yan took Qian Xue out of the imperial dining room, and at the same time, Zi Yan gave an order to the guards guarding outside the door of the imperial dining room not to say a word, and Zi Yan was afraid that they would not be strict in their mouths, so she asked Caiyun to take a letter of silver as a hush money.

"Xue'er, you are not allowed to tell Sù Father that we stole his things." After leaving the Taiji Palace, Zi Yan whispered to Xiao Qianxue on the side.

The little girl first agreed, and then asked why.

Zi Yan didn't explain, anyway, she might not understand it if she explained it so little
