Back in the palace, the emperor gave another banquet. By the time Sima Yulou returned to the palace, it was already dark. As soon as I entered the house, the wine was already waiting beside me, with a sad face.

Sima Yulou specially left him in the mansion today, and when he saw him like this, he felt a little bad in his heart, his face sank, and he asked, "Did the princess see her today?" ”

The wine nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Sima Yulou was a little strange, thinking that maybe Jinyi would find an excuse not to come, since he came, what else was wrong?

"Say!"

I couldn't drink it, so I had to report today's events in detail.

Sima Yulou's brows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't understand why his mother didn't like Jinyi. My mother has always been gentle, but her drunken attitude is extremely abnormal.

He asked, skeptically, "Did you see it with your own eyes?" ”

"It's Caiyun who said it." The wine replied, "Miss Yi came, I didn't go to Madame." I just saw that they didn't sit for long and left, so I thought it was a little strange, so I went to inquire. It took a long time for Caiyun to come out, saying that today the princess had angina again......"

Sima Yulou was startled, and his pace quickened.

When she arrived at Shenxin Building, Caiyun came out and said, "The princess has already fallen asleep, and she confessed that if the prince comes back, I will let you in." ”

Sima Yulou hesitated, uneasy, and raised his feet into the house.

When he came to his mother's inner chamber, he saw her lying down, and when he saw him, he stretched out his hand and called him over.

Scarlet Xia moved over a round pier, Sima Yulou sat down, and held her hand, "Mother, are you better now?" ”

Princess Chu Chen looked at him, her eyes were full of love, and she smiled, "You know that I have an old problem." After taking the medicine, it is out of the way. ”

Seeing that her son's face was full of melancholy and puzzled, she sighed and asked him, "Yulou, if I want you not to marry Jinyi, are you willing?" ”

Sima Yulou's face changed greatly, a heartache flashed in his deep eyes, and he looked at his mother fixedly.

Seeing him like this, the princess seemed to have expected it, and shook her head gently with a smile, "I knew you were reluctant......"

"Mother, why?" Sima Yulou's voice was a little hoarse, and he asked in a low voice.

The princess closed her eyes and did not speak, and after a long time, she patted his hand lightly and said, "If you really like her, I will not object." Actually, it's not that she's bad ......."

The princess looked at him, there was a moment of relief in his eyes, and a deep pleading, and continued: "When I see her today, she is gentle and polite, and her temperament is also calm. ”

Sima Yulou's eyebrows were full of doubts, "Mother, what are you hiding from me?" ”

The princess shook her head, "There are some things that you don't have to ask now. There was a hint of firmness and a hint of majesty in his expression, and after speaking, his expression eased again, and his face was still as soft as usual: "Yulou, as long as you like it, my mother will not object." ”

It wasn't until the princess fell asleep that Sima Yulou came out of the building.

He took his hands and slowly walked towards the Wind and Rain Building.

In the past few years, his mother has been hiding something from him, and he can vaguely guess that it may have something to do with his father.

It was not that he was unaware of the rumors from a few years ago, but since he could remember, he had never seen his father and mother blush. When he was young, his father used to take him around, and he didn't spend much time at home. But every time they came back, their mother was waiting for them at the door with a smile on her face. Between them, there is always respect for each other.

When the rumors first started, his father was already ill, and he remembered that his mother held his hand and wanted to promise her, not to defend or ignore those rumors!

At that time, he was not yet twelve years old, and he was extremely puzzled by his mother's request, but looking at his mother's gentle and determined eyes, he finally nodded heavily.

Over the years, he rarely mentioned these things to his mother. My mother never objected to her perennial out-of-town behavior, but just silently supported it.

She said, "When you are able enough, I will sue you." ”

Back in the room, he called Mingxin, "You go to the Qin Mansion." ”

Mingxin made a bitter face, "Master, it's already late, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in from the door." ”

"Listen to the rain." Sima Yulou spoke softly.

Like a shadow outside the door, a person flashed in silently.

Sima Yulou hesitated, sighed, and waved his hand to let him go down, "Forget it, tomorrow." ”

Hearing Yu Qingjun's face did not have the slightest expression, he floated out again.

It's so late, I don't know if she slept. Presumably she is not feeling good now, if she lets Tingyu sneak in directly, she may be even more angry.

Sima Yulou thought silently in his heart. Although her mother did not object, judging from her attitude, it was not Jinyi's problem......

He thought about it for a long time, and his heart was extremely depressed, and he paced a few steps in the room, only to feel that the room was small and stuffy, which made him a little breathless.

He walked out of the Wind and Rain Building and walked towards the back door of the palace. waved his hand and let the tea that came with him go back. Only listening to the rain and the wind are still following in the dark.

At this time, there was a curfew in the city, and although the waist card of Chu Chen's palace was not subject to the ban, the guards who checked along the road could not let him go all the way.

A few days ago, he had ordered someone to buy a pleasure boat and come back. The Royal Shipbuilding Workshop was used to mobilize more than 50 ship-making craftsmen to work day and night.

originally planned to enjoy the lanterns in the boat with her on the night of the Yuan Festival......

The boat stopped on the bank of the Qingxi River not far behind the house, and at the moment, he just wanted to stay in the open area.

……

Jin Yi embroidered Buddha pictures in the room for a whole afternoon, and the tea that Qiao Wei brought in several times was cold, and she didn't take a sip.

Qian Mo wanted to step forward to persuade her, but Qiao Wei quietly pulled her out. She is most familiar with the temperament of the young lady, although she is gentle on weekdays, but when it comes to difficult things, she is sometimes extremely stubborn.

When it was almost dark, the lights were lit in the room, and Jin Yi stopped with the needle.

She summoned Qian Mo over, and her face was calm at this time, "Do you know any of the people around the princess?" ”

Qian Mo was a little puzzled, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Caiyun next to the princess was selected by the prince from the Yishan Hall. I don't know her very well, but I've seen her before. ”

When Jin Yi heard that it was from Xiaolou, he shook his head, "He doesn't need to know about this." ”

With that, Jin Yi raised her head and looked at her quietly.

Seeing the meaning of inquiry in her eyes, Qian Mo suddenly understood, and said hurriedly, "Miss, Qian Mo is following you." Just listen to you. ”

Jin Yi was helpless and amused, and sighed, "I just want to inquire about the princess's illness, if there is a way, I want to treat her, but I can't let the princess know." …… I don't want Sima Yulou to know. ”

Qian Mo thought for a while, "Why don't you ,...... Let my mother inquire about it. ”

Jin Yi nodded and stopped talking.

Qiao Wei brought dinner, Jin Yi didn't have any appetite, and said that she was sleepy, so she returned to the room and lay on the couch with her clothes together.

After a long time, Qiao Wei quietly came in and saw that she had not moved. Gently walked forward, and saw her lying on her side, breathing steadily and long, it turned out that she was really asleep.

The head rests on his arm, and the corners of his eyes remain with undried tears.

Qiao Wei sighed in her heart, lightly took off her shoes and socks, covered her with a brocade quilt, and then withdrew.
