Yiwang Mansion.

"It's been three days since I returned to Beijing, when is Your Highness going to enter the palace to see the emperor? If you don't go, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to hang on his face. Uncle Qin reminded.

There is a long bookcase in the study, and next to the bookcase is a pot of unknown orchid grass, which is only a bud, and the elegant fragrance is almost inaudible.

Zhong Yan slowly flipped through the book in his hand, as if he was completely immersed in the book.

Uncle Qin waited quietly on the side.

After a while, Zhong Yan said: "In less than half a day, there will be a will be delivered, and it will be saved to go to the palace again to thank you."

"How did His Highness know about this?" Uncle Qin was puzzled.

Zhong Yan said lightly: "Because someone has already entered the palace."

Early in the morning, Ziyue was called up by Uncle Qin and instructed her about some things in the house. Ruan Ge is still Zhong Yan's maid in name, so she also got up and had to go with Ziyue.

Why can't you watch Ziyue work, let's sleep by myself, although Uncle Qin is very good to her.

She didn't understand Uncle Qin's extraordinarily good to her, could she really be so cute?

Before the job was divided, Uncle Qin took the two of them carefully around the palace.

The overall layout of the palace is similar to the pattern of the palace of the Qing Dynasty, but the exquisite scenery such as the pavilions and terraces, and the carving of details such as the eaves and arches faintly have the style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"It's unbelievable to see such a big and complete ancient building with my own eyes!" Ruan Ge was amazed in his heart.

"Uncle Qin, this palace is so big, isn't the palace even bigger?" Ziyue asked Uncle Qin.

Uncle Qin smiled slightly: "The palace is indeed very large. The imperial palace of Ning Xuanguo has been renovated and expanded by more than a dozen emperors in four hundred years, and its scale can be said to be second to none in the four countries. ”

"The emperor lives in such a big house alone, he is the happiest person in the world." Ziyue looked yearning.

"Living alone in a big house doesn't necessarily mean happiness." Uncle Qin sighed softly.

"Uncle Qin, the emperor is the richest and most powerful person in the world, except for being happy every day, I can't think of anything unhappy about him." Purple Moon Road.

"Haven't you heard of a lonely person? The height is unbearable, and I think the emperor's troubles should be incomprehensible to us ordinary people. Ruan Ge couldn't help but sigh.

Uncle Qin looked at Ruan Ge and nodded approvingly: "I really didn't expect Ruan Yatou to have such an opinion at such a young age, the old man really admires it."

Ruan Ge smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle Qin made fun of me, I was talking nonsense."

Uncle Qin looked at Ruan Ge and looked at her for a long time, just like he had seen her on the first day.

Ruan Ge felt that Uncle Qin was looking at another person through her.

It was nearly noon, and sure enough, someone from the palace announced the decree. Zhong Yan led everyone in the house to the front hall to receive the order.

The eunuch Zhou Gonggong, the leader of Emperor Jiaxuan's side, came to announce the decree.

Father-in-law Zhou is a person with a lot of vision. When he saw Zhong Yan, he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.

Then he announced: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Yi Wang Ning Ming Yu is obedient and virtuous, travels out of the palace, observes the people's feelings, is a model for the princes, and in view of the great victory of Gyeongju in the first battle and the triumph of the army, a banquet is given in the Jinfeng Hall on the 25th of this month, a large banquet is held for the ministers, and the three armies are rewarded." Chin this! ”

After announcing the decree, Father-in-law Zhou exchanged a few more words with Uncle Qin, and then returned to the palace.

"What does the emperor mean? Is this to catch the wind for His Highness or to reward the three armies? Yun Luo said angrily on the side.

"I'm afraid there's an article in it." Luo Chuan also said.

"It's okay, this king doesn't care......" Zhong Yan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly.

Ruan Ge heard Zhong Yan call himself the king for the first time, she carefully looked at the man standing in front of her, who was once like a fairy, and at this time she faintly exuded the aura of a graceful king, and a trace of sharp color appeared on her faint expressionless face.

Ziyue's focus of interest was obviously different from everyone else, she was more concerned about entering the palace for a banquet.

"Your Highness, you must pick a few entourages when you enter the palace!" Ziyue asked diligently.

Luo Chuan had already seen her thoughts, and pierced her and said, "You just said that you want to go, why beat around the bush!"

"Hey! What do I want to do with you, dead Luochuan, stinky Luochuan. Ziyue glared and scolded.

Zhong Yan rarely had a smile on his face, and asked Ziyue, "You want to go to the palace so much?"

"Your Highness, Ziyue really wants to go, who here doesn't want to go to the palace to see?" Ziyue said very sincerely.

"Ziyue, don't mess around, Your Highness is going to do business. It's hard to keep you from making trouble when you go. Yun Luo said on the side.

Ziyue was really a little unhappy when she heard Yun Luo say this: "I'm not a child, what are you messing about, you're only two years older than me, I can't go if you go?"

"You!" Yun Luo didn't expect Ziyue to say this, and he was speechless for a while.

Uncle Qin hurriedly came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, what does it matter if you go or not, besides, Your Highness didn't just enter the palace once, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time!"

Zhong Yan was in a good mood today, and he didn't feel a little displeased when he saw the two girls arguing.

He glanced at Ruan Ge intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "You guys all go, Uncle Qin will go down and make arrangements." Luo Chuan came with me to the study. ”

Back in the room, Ziyue was happy: "Your Highness is so happy today, you actually agreed to let us all go."

Ruan Ge was a hundred reluctant to go in her heart, because she was afraid of seeing Ning Mingchen.

She mentioned it to Uncle Qin just now, saying that she didn't want to go to the palace and wanted to stay in the mansion. Uncle Qin was very surprised by her request, and said that His Royal Highness had personally agreed to it, and it would be bad not to go, which was tantamount to refusing in disguise.

Ruan Ge secretly ordered: "It seems that this is really not a place to stay for a long time, in order to avoid trouble in the future, it is better to leave as soon as possible."

"Ge'er, can you help me see if I look good in this dress when I enter the palace when the time comes?" Ziyue excitedly asked Ruan Ge to see.

Ruan Ge shook his head, he really couldn't help her: "You are too gorgeous!" Just now, Uncle Qin told me that women should dress generously and decently when they enter the palace, and they should not be too ostentatious and conspicuous. He also said that you went on behalf of your prince, and you should be low-key and low-key. ”

Ziyue stuck out her tongue when she listened.

"Your Highness, Yun Luo can't figure out how you can agree to Ziyue's girl's request? She usually does things indiscriminately, and entering the palace to attend a banquet is a very important occasion, if she does something out of the ordinary, wouldn't it make our Yiwang Mansion look disgraceful. And that Ruan Ge, her origin is unknown"

"You're talking too much today."

Yun Luo was expressing his opinion to Zhong Yan, but he never expected to be interrupted by Zhong Yan.

She stood there awkwardly, stiff.

Zhong Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "You grew up with Ziyue, although she is greedy for fun, it is not as unbearable as you say."

"Your Highness, you know that I don't mean to slander Ziyue, it's just that the slave maid cares too much about the Yiwang Mansion and cares about you."

After saying this, Yun Luo raised his head and looked deeply at Zhong Yan's face.

Zhong Yan, who was sitting behind the bookcase, did not look up at her, and was writing with a pen.

"Go down! Prepare well, tomorrow is Aunt Hua's festival. Zhong Yan said in a deep voice.

Yun Luo's eyes were a little moist, he saluted, bit his lip and silently exited the door.
