As soon as the sky was bright, Mo Lian prepared all the things to go out, and then walked to the bed and woke up Chu Yueqing.

Chu Yueqing got up and let Mo Lian and Qianying dress her up. When she finished her breakfast, the porter also came to report, saying that Princess Changning was already waiting for her at the door.

Princess Changning came to her this time with the name of stepping into the green. Chu Yueqing originally felt that it was inappropriate, after all, although the rain was not heavy yesterday, it also rained intermittently all day. The reason for stepping into the green is too far-fetched, but since it is a matter that Princess Changning has decided, she has no need to refute it, fortunately, today's weather is sunny, although it is only the beginning of the day, but the sky has already lit up a large area of red glow.

Since they have other purposes, they should go to Zhuangzi earlier than others and finish what they need to do.

Chu Yueqing took the red feather sword, and after greeting Princess Changning, he got into his carriage, and Mo Lian and Qianying waited on the side.

There was already a shouting on Xuanwu Street, and many vendors had already set up stalls, Chu Yueqing opened the small curtain on the carriage and looked at it for a while, and the tip of his nose unconsciously smelled the aroma of meat buns.

Chu Yueqing stopped the carriage and asked Mo Lian to go down and buy two steamed buns.

Her carriage stopped, and Princess Changning's carriage, who was walking in front, naturally stopped, and it didn't take long for a servant to ask the coachman, why did Princess Hao suddenly listen to the carriage, was she unwell?

Chu Yueqing went out and said, and instructed her again, "Wait for Molian to buy back the xiaolongbao and send a cage to Princess Changning." ”

Qianying should be, but she estimated in her heart that Princess Changning would not eat, and those masters in the palace were cautious about eating.

Chu Yueqing naturally knew such a gift, she sent it over, but because the servants of that team got up early, and now it is estimated that it is the time to be hungry, Princess Changning will not eat it, but she will not throw it away, most of them will be rewarded to her subordinates.

Sure enough, when Mo Lian came back and asked the servant to bring back a basket of steamed buns, the steamed buns only went around in the carriage and then took them out again, and then the coachman and the servants who followed Princess Changning nibbled on the buns one by one.

The carriage was back on the road, and Mo Lian handed two buns to the coachman who was driving the carriage, and then hurried back to the carriage: "It's autumn in the end, the wind is cold, and the slave and maid feel cold when the carriage is up." ”

Qianying scolded her with a sentence of "delicate", but handed the bun to Mo Lian wrapped in a paper bag, and said: "It's autumn, there is no hand stove on the carriage, you just hold the bun and gnaw it, it must be warm." ”

Chu Yueqing looked at the two with a smile and let them make trouble.

After another half an hour, the group finally arrived at Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. At this time, the hour is still early, the sun has just risen, and many of the noble ladies invited by Princess Changning have not yet arrived, so it is a good time.

The two got out of the carriage, met each other's eyes, and understood. Chu Yueqing branched out of the two mothers-in-law who followed him, and only took Mo Lian and Qianying to the middle hall of Zhuangzi. Princess Changning was the same, and only received two personal maids.

The group headed towards the backyard of Zhuangzi.

When they arrived at a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, Princess Changning asked the two maids to stay outside. Seeing this, Chu Yueqing had to let Mo Lian and Qianying also stay outside.

Mo Lian and Qianying were not at ease, and Mo Lian whispered: "Princess, even if one of the two slaves and maids follows you in!" ”

Qianying also looked at her nervously.

Chu Le smiled at them and said, "It's okay, you can wait with peace of mind." ”

After that, he followed Princess Changning into the courtyard together. Leaving Mo Lian and Qianying at the gate of the courtyard, they were in a hurry.

In the courtyard, there was a strong smell of medicine.

Princess Changning explained: "The old steward's body has not been very good, and he has become more and more strict in recent years, and he has been hanging with medicine. ”

Chu Yueqing nodded, pushed open the door, and followed Princess Changning into the house.

The steward's body was really not very strong, and when he saw Princess Changning coming in, he got up from the bed in a trembling voice, and limped over to salute them.

The steward bowed his head and knelt down, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the red feather sword in Chu Yueqing's hand, and his palms trembled even more violently.

The light in the room was dim, and Chu Yueqing didn't notice the old housekeeper's mood. I only looked around, but I didn't see Princess Changning's little uncle, didn't he say, it's here?

Princess Changning also looked around, her brows frowning more and more, "Why is the little uncle not here, doesn't it mean that there will only be a little uncle, let him come over today?" ”

When Chu Yueqing heard this, she glanced at Princess Changning suspiciously, hadn't Princess Changning seen her rumored little uncle before?

The old steward got up tremblingly, and said word by word with a mouthful of teeth that were no longer very bright: "The princess is not in a hurry, the old slave must test it for the son first." ”

Princess Changning's eyes widened, and she frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Seeing this, Chu Yueqing pulled Princess Changning aside and asked her in a low voice, "Have you and the queen ever met the son of the Dong family?" ”

Princess Changning shook her head and said anxiously, "I haven't seen it yet." ”

Chu Yueqing couldn't help but be stunned, "I haven't seen it, how can you believe what this old man said?" ”

Princess Changning said: "I didn't believe it, but I can't bear the letter of the queen mother!" Besides, this old man, the queen mother also recognized, but he was the former steward of the Dong family, and he did go back to his hometown with his grandfather back then. ”

That being said, it doesn't mean that the old man is telling the truth. When Chu Yueqing was in Changchun Palace, he heard what the queen mother and Princess Changning said, and thought that they had already seen the son of the Dong family. But I never thought that with the queen's knowledge in the deep palace for many years, she would believe the empty words of an old man, and it would be chaotic if she really cared!

After talking to Princess Changning for a while, Chu Yueqing turned to look at the old man again, and his words were a little guarded, "How do you want to test for your master?" ”

The old steward had been hiding in the dark, and at this moment, Chu Yueqing couldn't see his mind clearly, so he only heard him: "Madam is the master of this sword?" ”

Chu Yueqing bowed his head and acquiesced.

The old steward then said, "When I met bandits in the early years, the old man broke a leg, and if Madame can let this sword heal the old slave's leg, the old slave will believe Madame's words and take the princess and Madame to see the son." ”

Chu Yueqing couldn't help frowning slightly, what does this old man mean, is he loyal to the lord, or is he trying to make a plan?

Not to mention anything else, only she knew in her heart that although this Red Feather Sword had aura, it was not the Red Feather Sword that could save people's lives, but her blood. Although she didn't know why her blood suddenly had a miraculous effect, this matter must not be known to outsiders, otherwise she estimated that she would not be able to wait for Xuanyuan Hao to come back, and she would die of excessive blood loss.

In this world, there are many people who are hungry for profit.

Thinking of this, her eyes tightened, and she looked at the old steward's eyes, which were a little more inquiring.

The old steward was not afraid of her, and his eyes went straight to Chu Yueqing's inquiring eyes. But Chu Yueqing looked at it for a long time, and he didn't see that there was something wrong with the person in charge, although his eyes were cloudy because of old age, but if he looked closely, he could see the wisdom of the years.

It was a pair of eyes that had gone through the baptism of years and tribulations, deep and determined.

Chu Yueqing remembered the words of the queen mother in the Changchun Palace, he lived alone with the son of the Dong family for more than ten years, and he has not been found by the queen mother in these ten years, which shows how much ability he has, and his heart must not be as sad as his current appearance, and with a heavy twilight.
