A few days later, Liang Jin sent Yu Ruoxu two tablets of the eldest princess of Anyang as promised. Yu Ruoxu thanked the little guy for his kindness, and also prepared a good Hui Mo for the little guy to bring to Liang Jin, saying that it was a return gift, and let the little guy pass the word, saying that it was just a few days of appreciation, and it would be returned to Zhao soon.

After the Liang family's little servant left, Yu Ruoxu's face sank, picked up the two tablets, and instructed Xiu'er not to let anyone come to the study to disturb, and then locked the door of the study, took out the familiar flower note from the box, and began to compare them carefully.

Take a closer look, the handwriting on the flower note is seven or eight points similar to the inscription of the eldest princess, but the owner of the flower note is obviously lacking in skills, and compared with the eldest princess, the pen is hasty, lacking a sense of upright and chic.

Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart, she remembered that day in the Zhou Mansion, Liang Jin said that the font created by the eldest princess had been popular in the famous ladies in the capital for a period of time, does that mean that this spring, the person who sent this flower note to the Yu family was also a former lady in the capital?

She was a little frightened, the nobles in the palace used to be beautiful girls in the capital!

However, if Zhou Yuanzhao would copy the eldest princess's lone book on a whim, it would indicate that there might be other people in the capital who were also practicing this extremely difficult handwriting?

Yu Ruoxu's heart was like a mess, she thought that she was one step closer to finding Yu Ruoqing, but she didn't expect that she was still confused and clueless.

In the evening, when Yu Zhongjun came back from the palace, Yu Ruoxu told him in detail about the events of the past few days, but omitted the part that he "accidentally" heard in the palace.

Yu Zhongjun sat motionless on the Taishi chair, but his eyes seemed to have set off a monstrous wave, and his hands trembled slightly, and he muttered, "I see...... Even if the eldest princess's handwriting is found, it is impossible to confirm who wrote the flower note. “

Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but reach out and hold him, "Daddy, we can't be discouraged, we have come to this point, we are already a little eyebrows." At least it shows that the person who sent us the flower note is a famous family in the capital, in case it is really made by the palace...... We still have to be careful. “

Yu Zhongjun nodded, "Father understands." At the beginning, the Queen Mother issued seven edicts to seek merit, wanting the Yu family to enter the court as an official, but her father refused to follow the group training. If it weren't for this note......"

A secret note with Yu Ruoqing's whereabouts written quietly appeared in Yu Zhongjun's study in Langzhong.

She knew in her heart that such a covert means that could be used to put a piece of flower paper into the Yu family's mansion with many mechanisms should not be something that ordinary secret guards could do. There is such a capable ...... in the world Most of them are people in the palace.

It's just that they're not quite sure, is it the queen mother, the Liang family, or the little emperor?

But knowing that this was most likely a trap designed for them by the palace, Yu Zhongjun still ignored the opposition of the rest of the Yu family, left Langzhong without hesitation, and chose to go north to Beijing.

"My daughter saw that Lord Zhou was also copying the handwriting of the eldest princess that day, so she felt a little lucky." Yu Ruoxu smiled bitterly, "Is it possible that the owner of the flower note is someone else?" ”

Yu Zhongjun was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "As a father, I don't have a clue at all now. ”

"I really want to follow the heroes of the rivers and lakes to learn the kung fu that can fly the eaves and walk the wall." Yu Ruoxu sighed and half-jokingly, "In this way, I can sneak into the houses of the adults and ladies in the middle of the night, steal their handwriting to compare them, and see who the owner of this flower note is." ”

"It's best to sneak into the palace and steal the handwriting of the queen mother, the emperor, and the ladies." Yu Zhongjun continued her words.

After the father and daughter finished speaking, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. Yu Zhongjun's frowning brows stretched slightly, "You have recently learned to unravel people." ”

"Oh? Is it? Yu Ruoxu was stunned, remembering that he had indeed often dismissed Liang Jin recently, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Liberating others, why not liberating yourself?" Seeing Yu Zhongjun's inquiring expression, he hurriedly explained, "Besides, my daughter just doesn't want her father to sigh all the time." If my mother knew that my father was so worried every day, I would definitely be worried. ”

"It's rare to hear you mention your mother." Yu Zhongjun smiled faintly, "However, there will be a flower viewing banquet in the capital next spring, and at that time, not only the sons and ladies of the capital, but also the queen mother and the ladies of the harem will also improvise inscriptions...... We'll have to wait and see. “

"My daughter understands." Yu Ruoxu nodded, and couldn't help but start looking forward to the early arrival of the flower-viewing banquet.

The days of heavy hearts passed like flowing water, the last heat of summer finally dissipated, the autumn became stronger, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the little emperor's fourteen-year-old palace banquet.

Yu Ruoxu prepared a six-piece screen, and asked the best painter to imitate Wu Daozi's brushstrokes, and painted six kinds of auspicious flowers and birds, although there is not much novelty, but it is also a decent and can not find mistakes. She also asked the housekeeper to put a good sandalwood box on the carriage, and then rushed to the palace with Yu Zhongjun.

The twilight was low, and purple clouds were on the horizon. The walls of the palace are covered with red lanterns, which looks festive in the night. Many carriages of the nobles gathered at the east gate, slowly leading through the red-carpeted corridor. The sound of the horse's hooves was mixed with a few words of laughter from the ladies and sons of various prefectures, which made the whole Miyagi extremely lively.

This palace banquet was set up in the Qianning Palace, according to the rules, Yu Zhongjun had to go to the front hall to congratulate the little emperor on his birthday, and Yu Ruoxu was taken to the backyard by a housekeeper aunt to rest, waiting to see the queen mother.

Because Yu Ruoxu arrived early, there were not many people in the courtyard. She sat for a while, and greeted a few young ladies of the family, because she didn't know each other well, but felt that she had nothing to talk about. Later, seeing that it was still early, she quietly got up and went out while everyone was not paying attention.

The backyard of the Qianning Hall is designed very distinctly, and the branches of flowers and trees are faintly revealed in the hollow carved railing, but in the end it is no match for the strong autumn mood, and the leaves are glowing with iron green. She passed by a pavilion and saw many palace people coming out of the front hall, holding large and small boxes in their hands, and several people dragging the boxes together, looking like gifts from the courtiers to the little emperor.

Walking all the way along the sheep intestine path, she saw Liang Jin and another child of the family walking out of the front hall. Because it was a formal palace banquet, Liang Jin was dressed in royal blue court clothes, looking calm and steady, which made her recall the first time she saw her at the palace gate that day.

I saw the two of them arching their hands to each other, as if saying goodbye. After that, the son she didn't know went in the other direction, and Liang Jin was still standing there alone, as if he was watching the other party.

She hurriedly stepped forward, "The folk girl has seen the prince. “

"Miss Yu." Liang Jin saw her figure and said with a smile, "Why did you come to the front hall?" “

Yu Ruoxu was a little embarrassed, and pointed to the path behind her, "I just wanted to go around the backyard to breathe, but I didn't expect the scenery to be unique along the way, so I walked directly to the front hall." “

"Oh?" Liang Jin suddenly became interested, "I didn't expect the path in the backyard of Qianning Hall to have such a view." “

"The folk girl prefers the cold green scenery in autumn." Yu Ruoxu didn't know why, seeing him smiling but not smiling, she was a little panicked, "The Queen Mother should be coming soon, and the folk girl will go back first." “

She was about to turn around and leave, when she suddenly remembered the purpose of greeting him, so she blessed herself, "The people's daughter also wants to thank the prince for borrowing the inscription." “

"You're always so polite." Liang Jin sighed, "I also gave this Hui Mo and thanked me personally, so don't be so restrained in the future." “

Yu Ruoxu pursed her lips and smiled, "The folk girl understands. “

"It's already dark, I'll take you to the apse." Liang Jin walked to her side, Yu Ruoxu just wanted to refuse, Liang Jin had already taken a step and walked in the direction of the apse, and when he saw that she was still standing there in a daze, he turned around and raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Yu, the time is coming." “

"Folk Girl...... The folk girl knows. Yu Ruoxu muttered, her thin voice seemed to be complaining about something, Liang Jin smiled, "I'll send you to the door of the apse, it's okay." “

Yu Ruoxu really couldn't help him, so he followed him and walked towards the apse in silence.

There was a distance of about one step between the two, and Yu Ruoxu vaguely smelled the smell of agarwood incense on his body, and for some reason, his heartbeat seemed to miss a beat.

The ladies seemed to have arrived, the house was brightly lit, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter from the daughter's family, which seemed to be particularly lively. Yu Ruoxu sighed, and was just about to say goodbye to Liang Jin, when she heard a shrill voice from inside, which was heard very clearly in the quiet night outside the house, "Noble cousin, do you guess what good things my father brought to the emperor?" “

Song Guiren's familiar laughter was still so beautiful, "This palace is not a god operator, how can you know what rare things Lord Zhao gave to the emperor?" “

Lord Zhao...... Yu Ruoxu secretly thought, it seems that it should be Zhao Zhengqin, the governor of the Western Regions, and the person sitting in the room is Song Guiren's cousin, Zhao Zhengqin's daughter Zhao Zhiyi.

Zhao Zhiyi has been learning martial arts with her father since she was a child, and she is also a rare general, but because of this, she has developed a voice that is louder than ordinary ladies and a straightforward and free personality.

"My father specially found the best craftsmen in Xiqiang to create a bow and arrow made of rhinoceros tendons for the emperor!" Zhao Zhiyi's tone was brisk, with a smug expression, "This is easier to use than the ordinary Wujin iron bow, and the strength is enough, and my father also joked, saying that this is the first bow in Xiqiang!" “

"That's amazing." Song Guiren chuckled, "It's a pity, this palace doesn't know much about bows and arrows, otherwise you can still talk about it." Among the ladies in our capital, it is estimated that only the second lady of the Yu family can learn this bow and arrow with her cousin. “

"She?" Zhao Zhiyi snorted coldly, "It's just a hillbilly from Langzhong, what good things have you seen?" Besides, I've heard that her right hand is useless, but she is disabled, so what's the ......?"

Yu Ruoxu let out a "groan" in her heart, and suddenly became angry, biting her lower lip fiercely, only to hear Song Guiren laugh even more happily, "Ouch, my cousin, you dare to say anything with this mouth!" “

She only felt that the blood and qi all over her body were surging, and suddenly a pair of warm hands gently covered her ears, she was stunned for a moment, and when she looked back, she saw Liang Jin standing behind her, her jaw tight, her palms against her ears, her eyes flickering, "Don't listen, don't think." “

It was the first time she was so close to Liang Jin, so close that she could almost see his thick eyelashes, and there was anger in her dark eyes that was not inferior to hers, but the strength in her hand was extremely gentle. With a slight side of her face, she could feel the thin cocoon in his palm, with a soft touch that seeped into the bottom of her heart.

Most of the anger in Yu Ruoxu's heart disappeared inexplicably, and she quietly took a step back from Liang Jin's side, "Lord Shizi, the people's daughter is fine, you better go back quickly." ”

"You ......" Liang Jin paused and sighed, "Be careful yourself." With that, he turned and left.

Yu Ruoxu watched his back disappear into the night, and then looked up at the glazed palace lamp on the eaves, thinking to herself, this night banquet has just begun.
