Yan Xiruo followed behind Yan Zhenming and slowly withdrew from the main hall, and the moment she withdrew, she subconsciously squinted her eyes if it was because the sunlight outside was too dazzling, or if the room was too dark.

"It's good that the emperor didn't ask about what happened ten years ago, I was worried before, it seems that my uncle was too worried." Yan Zhenming was very satisfied with Yan Xiruo's performance in the main hall, and completely let go of the stone in his heart.

"The emperor is a generation of Ming monarchs, how can he be obsessed with what happened in the past." Caressing the fur of the little fox in her arms, she said it sincerely.

Looking up at the sky, as if thinking of something, Yan Xi Ruonan Nan whispered: "What about changing the sky?" ”

Yan Zhenming didn't understand her words, but also looked at the sky, and found that the sky was clear, which seemed to be about to change the sky, and he couldn't react to this sudden sentence: "What does Xiruo mean by this." ”

Yan Xiruo looked at him and shook his head for a long time: "Uncle, if one day Xiruo makes the wrong choice, will you blame me?" ”

"Silly girl, no matter what choice you make, even if it's wrong, your uncle will support you and won't blame you." Rubbing her hair, he always felt that this girl was hiding a lot of things in her heart, and he didn't know if it had anything to do with her identity.

"That's good, Xiruo wants his uncle to remember, no matter what Xiruo does in the future, Xiruo will never hurt his relatives, uncles and grandmothers, you are the people Xiruo cares about the most." It's someone I'm willing to do everything I can to protect me.

"Shiruo, what do you want to do?" Yan Zhenming inexplicably had a bad premonition, he always felt that the girl in front of him would do something beyond her imagination.

"Uncle, there are some things that can't be covered. Xiruo hopes that his uncle will not stop Xiruo, and please protect his family for Xiruo. As long as her family is safe, she is not afraid of anything.

"Shiruo." Yan Zhenming's footsteps stopped, and he reached out to grab the girl, of course he knew what she was talking about, but: "Does it have to be like this, can't, can't you forget it and live an ordinary life?" ”

"Uncle, some things are not forgotten if you want to, you know better than me, from the moment I carried it, ordinary days have no chance with me, I know that uncle, you feel sorry for me, but that is my life, the fate I have to face." She smiled and comforted him while dispelling his worries: "Uncle, I can protect myself, I know what I am doing and I know what I should do." ”

"You......" sighed lightly, knowing that he couldn't change her mind, so he let her go: "Since you have decided, it is useless for my uncle to say more, my uncle hopes that you can tell your uncle as soon as there is something, don't hold it alone." ”

"I know, but now, I still ask my uncle to hide it from my grandmother for Xiruo, if she knows, she will definitely not agree." She doesn't want anyone to worry about her, so she must take every step steadily, and there is no room for mistakes.

Looking back at the hall, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, if fate doomed her to the end, then she would reverse the situation.

"Miss Yanqi, please stay." Before Yan Xiruo followed Yan Zhenming out of the palace gate, a crisp voice stopped her steps.

Turning around, there was a woman with delicate facial features standing behind her, although she was respectfully half-bent at the moment, her eyes were looking at Yan Xiruo, there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes, and her tone was not the humility of an ordinary palace maid, but with a bit of courage, and looking at the palace maid who was not dressed like an ordinary woman, it aroused Yan Xiruo's interest.

Yan Zhenming frowned slightly because of the other party's somewhat arrogant posture, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Yan Xiruo.

Yan Xiruo shook his head at him, took a small step forward, and looked at the woman with a smile: "I don't know what's going on?" ”

The woman's expression did not change at all, and her voice was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Miss Yanqi, the queen is invited." ”

"Oh?" The queen invited Yan Xiruo to be unexpected, this is a good way to invite herself, even Yan Xiruo doesn't understand it.

"I'll go with you." Yan Zhenming didn't understand why the queen suddenly wanted to see Xiruo, she had only been back for a few days, could it be because of Lord Mo's affairs?

"The queen said, only Miss Yan Qi is invited alone." Before Yan Xiruo could speak, the other party had already refused for her.

"You ......"

"Uncle, you go back first, I'll go see the queen." Yan Xiruo calmed Yan Zhenming's emotions and asked him to go back first: "The queen mother will definitely see me if she has something, and the queen mother is so gentle, she will definitely not be embarrassed by Xiruo." ”

"Okay then, then I'll go back first, and you should be earlier." knew that he couldn't screw the girl in front of him, so he let her go.

It wasn't until Yan Zhenming's figure was completely out of sight that Yan Xiruo looked back at the person behind him who still maintained the same posture and had not changed, and raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he was still a practitioner: "Please lead the way." ”

"Miss Yanqi, please come here." The woman got up and took the lead.

Yan Xiruo followed behind with a smile, but there was frost in those eyes, the woman in front of her looked like she had a foundation in martial arts, she deliberately didn't let her get up just now, just to test it, it seems that she is not only good at kung fu, she should not be weak, there is such a person behind the queen, but it makes people a little curious.

It's just that Yan Xiruo's eyes rolled, why didn't she know.

"Miss Yan Qi, when you arrive, the queen is in the pavilion in the garden, and she bothered Miss Yan Qi to go over by herself, and the slave and maid will retire first." The woman who claimed to be a slave sent Yan Xiruo to the entrance of the back garden of Fengning Palace and retreated.

Yan Xiruo just raised his eyebrows, and walked in without saying anything.

From a distance, I saw the figure in the pavilion dressed in the queen's clothes, and looked around, since there was no guard, let alone a subordinate.

"Courtiers see the queen's mother." Although she couldn't understand the meaning of the person in front of her, she still had the etiquette she should have.

"No need to be polite, come and sit beside the palace." He patted the place next to him and motioned for her to sit next to her.

"Xie Niangniang." Obediently walked over, Yan Xiruo did not sit down, but stood beside her: "The courtier doesn't know what Niangniang is looking for the courtier?" And there are only two people, the courtier and the mother, isn't the mother afraid that the courtiers have any bad intentions? ”

"You're not that kind of person." The queen looked at her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was very gentle.

"How can the queen see it?" I don't know why, Yan Xiruo suddenly felt that she couldn't understand the person in front of her, in her memory, the queen shouldn't be like this, although she was still so gentle, she always felt that there was something in her eyes that she couldn't understand, as if she could see everything.

"This palace has no ill will towards you, you are the seventh lady of the Yan Mansion, and I often hear Prime Minister Yan say that you have been very gentle and knowledgeable in recent years, and what kind of ill heart can you have towards this palace?" The queen's words seemed to be reasonable, but Yan Xiruo still felt faintly uneasy.

"What is the reason why the lady is looking for a courtier, and she needs to dismiss all her subordinates."

"This palace just wants to thank you for saving Xiao Wu." The queen's expression was sincere, at least in Yan Xiruo's opinion.

"The prince is a rich and noble person, and he can't be saved." If it was really to thank himself for saving Lord Mo, then there was no need to dismiss all the subordinates. The queen in front of her is not the gentle queen in Yan Xiruo's impression at all, even if the person in front of her smiles gently, even if her eyebrows and eyes still hide kindness, but Yan Xiruo is inexplicably uneasy.

The queen saw Yan Xiruo's expression in her eyes and smiled: "Xiao Wu is the son of the deceased Concubine Chen, this palace and Concubine Chen were originally brothers and sisters, after she died, the palace saw that Xiao Wu was very pitiful without his mother, so he let him follow the prince, but you also know that the emperor has been very cold to Xiao Wu over the years, and now Xiao Wu has become demented, and he is even less pleasing to the emperor, everyone in this deep palace is trying to think about how to get His Majesty's favor every day, who wants to worry about a demented prince who is not favored by the emperor, You may not know that the reason why the emperor gave the title of Xiaowu Wangye and made him the only prince of Daliang was not because of his hard work, but because he wanted him to stay away. ”

Yan Xiruo didn't speak, just listened quietly, listening to the person in front of him tell the miserable life experience of the only prince of Daliang in the most gentle voice.

"Since he is also the emperor's son, even if he is stupid, after all, he has the emperor's blood, besides, the emperor was not the most favored concubine, why did he treat their children like this after Concubine Chen died?" Seeing that the queen stopped and didn't want to continue, Yan Xiruo opened her mouth, she didn't know those things before.

The queen looked into the distance and smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's because Concubine Chen was the emperor's favorite concubine, so the emperor didn't want to see Xiao Wu after her death, after all, it will bring back a lot of sad past." ”

"Presumably this is the reason why the queen mother sent her subordinates to leave us alone, you feel sorry for Lord Mo, but there are many people in this palace, and it is inevitable that there will be a few people with broken mouths, if they know that you have been secretly good to Lord Mo behind the emperor's back, you must make a big fuss." If Yan Xi knew that the queen still had something to say, and she didn't want to say it, then she wouldn't listen.

If Yan Xi wasn't stupid, how could he not hear what she was saying.

The queen looked at Yan Xiruo and was very pleased: "You girl is really smart, but it's a pity that you are a daughter, if you are a man, you will have a great achievement." ”

"Xie Niangniang praised, but the courtiers still like their daughters, and the courtiers only hope that they can live an ordinary life in this prosperity."

"It's not early, and it's inconvenient for this palace to keep you, but this palace is really grateful to you for saving Xiao Wu, and this palace has prepared some small gifts that have been sent to the house, and I hope you can like it." If you want to come here in the future, the main palace is always welcome. Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was not early, and she was afraid that there would be too many people, so the queen asked her to leave first.

"Okay, the courtier thanked her mother and retired first." When he was about to leave with a smile, he suddenly remembered something and stopped: "Queen Mother, can Rong Xiruo ask something that shouldn't be asked?" ”

"You say ......"

"The girl next to Niangniang is not an ordinary person, Niangniang can rest assured?" Thinking of the woman with arrogant eyes, Yan Xiruo couldn't help but ask.

"She is a girl who has been with me since she was a child, and I made her practice martial arts, you know, this palace is not as simple as you think."

"Since that's the case, it's Xiruo's mouth. Leave first, please take care of yourself. ”

The queen didn't speak, just watched her back disappear in front of her little by little, looked back at the beautiful scenery of the garden, and sighed softly.
