But Xu Youshan's discomfort seemed to be noticed by no one, and when she saw Xie Jing and Xu Youshan out of the corner of Xie Wen's eyes, she came forward to greet them in a gentle and amiable manner, and the rest of the people also came to salute them.

After all, no matter what, Xie Jing, the eldest son of the emperor who occupies the throne and occupies the eldest son, as long as the East Palace is suspended one day and the new emperor is not established, then his identity is nominally more noble than other princes, and even if other princes are only on face, they should do the courtesy.

But of course, there are one or two exceptions to this, in the past it was Xie Yan and Xie Wen, but now there is only one Xie Wen. Xie Yan actually followed everyone and came forward to give Xie Jing a slight salute, which made Xu Youshan stunned, but Xie Jing smiled slightly, and the polite smile seemed to be, Xie Yan has always been like this, and it is no different.

But God knows, in fact, it was only just over half a year ago, Xie Yan was still standing upright on the side, not like Xie Wen who was courteous to Xie Jing, they were all people who ignored Xie Jing to the point of being like this, but look at Xie Yan now, how could he suddenly be so polite, this really made Xu Youshan stunned for a while.

But since Xie Jing said it so naturally, of course Xu Youshan wouldn't say anything weird or anything, she just bowed her head slightly, followed behind Xie Jing with a gentle and virtuous look, and let Xie Jing decide everything.

"The royal brothers came very early." Xie Jing returned the salute to Xie Yan and Xie Wen, and then said with a smile, regardless of the fact that Xie Wen was standing upright just now.

"What the emperor said is, after all, my father has an edict today. Of course, we have to come here early to greet us so that we don't be rude. Xie Wen also said with a smile, but he looked at Xie Jing's eyes. can always let people know that he has no respect for Xie Jing at all, and compared to the humility and gentleness he had when he was facing others, although he was also very amiable when he was facing Xie Jing, he was amiable. It's just chilling.

"Heh... The third emperor brother is really thoughtful. ”

"The emperor's eldest brother praised it falsely."

Both of them said with a smile, but Xu Youshan behind Xie Jing couldn't help but feel a pimple, not to mention that she had heard Xie Jing's softer laughter. The coldness brewing was only aimed from her direction, but on Xie Wen's smiling face, there was a chill in Xie Jing's eyes. This makes Xu Youshan really a little surprised no matter how many times she watches it.

And just when Xie Jing and Xie Wen were talking "extremely harmoniously". Xie Yan watched coldly from the sidelines, and when the other little princes also quietly retreated to the side, the inner supervisor outside the door suddenly announced very loudly: "The Holy Lord has arrived." ”

Xie Jing and Xu Youshan and their entourage, before the words of the inner supervisor fell, they all immediately stopped talking, and they all stood out of the hall, and stopped at the car embroidered with golden dragon patterns, when Emperor Zhou Hui appeared with the support of Concubine Xian. Everyone knelt down and saluted: "See my father, see the virtuous concubine." ”

"Well, let's all get up." Emperor Zhou Hui said with a smile.

Today, Emperor Zhou Hui is wearing a purple gold dragon robe. The belt Yunshui Xun Dragon Pei, a silver hair of ink threads can be faintly seen at one end, which is simply crowned with a dragon crown inlaid with gold inlaid with snowflake black yaoshi, and what has to be said is that although Emperor Zhou Hui is old at this time, and many years of luxury and pleasure and illness have been combined, although Emperor Zhou Hui, who has just turned fifty, is already like a sixty-year-old man, but although Emperor Zhou Hui is so haggard, Xu Youshan can still be found on his face, the legend that Emperor Zhou Hui, the eldest son of the emperor who was not outstanding among many amazing and brilliant princes, How to overwhelm the dragons and ascend to the throne step by step.

As for Emperor Zhou Hui's ability to finally become emperor, although a large part of the reason is not on him, Xu Youshan always knows that if Emperor Zhou Hui himself is mediocre and her grandfather Xu Luo and her uncle Xu Luo will never support him, and Emperor Zhou Hui can ascend the throne, it is even more difficult to explain Emperor Zhou Hui's extraordinary, especially among the many princes of the first emperor, the most indispensable thing is the amazing talent, Emperor Zhou Hui can ascend to the throne among these people, and the final victory is already to show his extraordinary.

Therefore, because of Xie Jing, Xu Youshan recently made up for the history of Emperor Zhou Hui's ascension to the throne, and Xu Youshan was suddenly afraid of Emperor Zhou Hui.

"The emperors are here very early today." Emperor Zhou Hui, with the support of Concubine Xian, walked to the first seat in the center of the hall and sat down, while Concubine Xian sat down on the seat next to him one step lower, as for Xie Jing and a few people, it was only after Emperor Zhou Hui asked them to sit down that they fell behind, and they sat down in the first two rows of benches, each in order of teeth, but of course, except for Xie Wen.

Under Emperor Zhou Hui and Concubine Xian, there is a row of benches on the left and right, and on the first seat on the left is Xie Jing, and it should be Xie Yan and Xie Wen when they go down in turn, but after Xie Jing sat down, Xie Yan behind him was squeezed down by Xie Wen, but everyone had no reaction to this, especially when Emperor Zhou Hui took the tea bowl and sipped it lightly, everyone didn't speak.

And Xu Youshan, who sat down on the first seat on the right, watched Xie Yan walk to the latter one coldly and indifferently after being squeezed down by Xie Wen, although she was a little emotional, but it was not deep, after all, Xie Wen is still polite now, otherwise he should have even grabbed Xie Jing's first seat, anyway, Xie Wen has not done it before, Xu Youshan remembered that at the Queen Mother's Qianqiu New Year's Banquet that year, didn't Xie Yan and Xie Wen sit in front of Xie Jing?

"Today is a family banquet, you can order it at will, but the Queen Mother should have come over for lunch together, but her old man is not feeling well today, and after you finish the meal for a while, you are going to visit the Queen Mother, do you know?"

But just when Xu Youshan was sitting on the bench, looking respectful and virtuous, hanging her head slightly, but in fact, when she was thinking wildly, Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly spoke, so Xu Youshan hurriedly got up with everyone and responded "yes", after Emperor Zhou Hui smiled with satisfaction, he suddenly asked about the homework of Coco Xie and several other little princes, and Coco Xie and several others were busy answering one by one.

And this seems to be a situation of father's kindness and filial piety, but others know that it is just Emperor Zhou Hui who is showing Xie Wen's difference. Because in addition to the beginning, Zhou Huidi also asked about other people's homework, but slowly. Emperor Zhou Hui only asked Xie Wen, and after Xie Wen answered Zhou Huidi's questions one by one, Zhou Huidi praised Xie Wen again and again, praising him for being talented, intelligent, diligent and studious. And the others have all become the background of Emperor Zhou Hui, Concubine Xian and Coco Xie.

It's just that other people are also familiar with this scenery, when Xu Youshan looked at it with the corner of her eye. She found that whether it was Xie Jing or Xie Yan, she even sat on the face of the youngest prince at the end. They all have a trace of indifference, even indifference, as if they have long been accustomed to this phenomenon. For that kind of estrangement that they are outsiders. They have long regarded it as normal.

And Xu Youshan skipped everyone, just looking at the youngest little prince sitting at the end, but with the same blank expression as Xie Jing and Xie Yan, Xu Youshan felt a little blocked, such a small child, such a young child is already so indifferent to this most hurtful estrangement, what kind of environment is this. What can make such a strong child?

At this time, Xu Youshan felt more and more about the word "heavenly home". It's terrifying.

But just when Xu Youshan was thinking about it again, Emperor Zhou Hui passed the meal, and except for Concubine Xian and Xie Wen, the others didn't need to say anything, just obediently followed the three of them to the flower hall to eat, even Xie Yan, who is the protagonist today, just followed the harmonious "family of three" in front of him who was talking and laughing, walked to the flower hall, and went to be a moving green leaf background, and didn't have to do anything else.

So after eating a lunch, it ended in the laughter of Emperor Zhou Hui, Concubine Xian, and Xie Wen, and the rule of eating without saying anything was of course abolished in front of Emperor Zhou Hui.

And after the meal, Emperor Zhou Hui, with the support of Concubine Xian, went back to Guangming Hall to rest, but Xie Jing and Xu Youshan were about to break up after sending Emperor Zhou Hui away, although Emperor Zhou Hui said that they would go to Wutai Palace to visit the Queen Mother, but they didn't say that they wanted to go together, right? So in front of the Lin'an Palace, everyone also exchanged their own nonsense, and then they all went their separate ways.

The Imperial Garden is almost the most beautiful place in the entire vast Miyagi, and most of the places that are regarded as exotic flowers and plants on the outside have become ordinary things in the Imperial Garden. The flowers and plants that are regarded as rare in the Imperial Garden are hard to find outside, so after Xie Jing took Xu Youshan to the Yellow Horn Pavilion in the Imperial Garden and sat down, Xu Youshan was full of praise for the beautiful scenery of the flowers outside.

"It's really the Imperial Garden, it's really beautiful."

But compared to Xu Youshan's exclamation, Xie Jing's reaction was much colder, he looked at the purple and red imperial garden, rare snow butterflies were everywhere, and the snow-white and magnificent butterfly wings spread their wings and flew in the orange warm sun, drawing a stream of amazing light, dazzling Xu Youshan's eyes, but he couldn't shake Xie Jing's indifferent eyes.

"Your Highness, don't you think...... Isn't it beautiful? Xu Youshan finally noticed Xie Jing's coldness, and the atmosphere in the pavilion seemed to be a little weirdly quiet, so she thought about it, and took the initiative to break the silence and ask Xie Jing.

But Xie Jing just raised his eyes and looked at Xu Youshan lightly, and then when he moved his gaze to the outside of the pavilion, he said, "Beautiful? I don't think so. His slender beautiful eyes looked indifferently at the scenery outside the pavilion, there was a disillusioned streamer in his eyes, which was flickering in the sun, like the most beautiful flower at the moment of withering, the poignant beauty that bloomed, the beauty was heartbreaking, but such a look, how could it appear in Xie Jing's eyes?

Xu Youshan was strange, but she didn't ask again, Xie Jing didn't want to speak now, she still had this bit of eyesight, so after Xu Youshan also fell silent, the pavilion became quieter, but the autumn wind blew the leaves outside the pavilion, making a rustling sound at the right time, so that the people standing behind Xie Jing and Xu Youshan would not be swallowed up by the silence in the pavilion.

"It's almost time, let's go to Wutai Palace to say hello to the Queen Mother." And when the sunlight began to set westward, Xie Jing suddenly said to Xu Youshan.

"yes, okay."

Xu Youshan responded, took Liu's mother's hand to get up, and followed Xie Jing to board the car, because the imperial garden is still a little far away from Wutai Palace after all, if you walk over, when will it go, and Xu Youshan is not willing to travel a long distance here, so she and Xie Jing boarded the car and walked towards Wutai Palace. The two didn't talk much along the way, Xie Jing just looked at the passing scenery outside the window and was silent, and Xu Youshan actually started to doze off.

This morning's nerves are tight. In the Lin'an Palace, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing and was tense all the time, if it weren't for Emperor Zhou Hui and Concubine Xian, she would simply treat her as transparent and ignore her, otherwise, Xu Youshan was really afraid that what she said and did wrong would affect others, so she was happy that Emperor Zhou Hui and Concubine Xian would ignore her.

And when I got out of the Lin'an Palace, I went to the Yellow Horn Pavilion in the Imperial Garden to rest for a while. And because of Xie Jing's strange appearance, Xu Youshan didn't relax, and waited until they all boarded the public car. After sitting down on the warm, fragrant, soft and gentle couch, with the gentle shaking and quiet atmosphere of the driver, Xu Youshan of course began to doze off in a daze as soon as her eyes were closed.

Cut-out carving. Tired silk inlaid beads on the ride. Xu Youshan shook slightly, her little head grew little by little, and Xie Jing looked out the window sideways, but she didn't see that Xu Youshan had fallen asleep, so the quiet atmosphere in the car continued all the way, until Xie Jing blinked her long eyelashes and turned her head to look at Xu Youshan, but was surprised to find that she didn't know when. I've been asleep for a long time, and now my head is tilted against the backrest. It's been a comfortable sleep.

"Heh......" Xie Jing chuckled.

The light yarn flew, the long wind blew from the window, just blowing away the condensation in the car, when the corner of Xie Jing's mouth revealed a shallow arc, the car also happened to be filled with warm warmth again, the sun was tilted, Xie Jing and Xu Youshan's car also happened to pass by a large piece of begonias, thick and bright, but also fresh and elegant, in the sun, each plant is gorgeous, like a treasure.

Wutai Palace, Shou'an Palace.

"My grandson has asked the imperial grandmother to say goodbye." Xie Jing and Xu Youshan, who had already arrived at Wutai Palace, were saluting the Queen Mother sitting on the kang and the big gold embroidered cloud goose on the mattress in the Shou'an Palace.

"Get up." The Queen Mother said lightly.

"Grandmother Xie." Xie Jing and Xu Youshan got up as they said and stood at the head of the Queen Mother, Xie Jing said: "Grandmother Huang, I heard my father say that your body is a little unwell, but now you are better, have you asked the imperial doctor to come and treat it?" ”

The Queen Mother bent the corners of her lips slightly, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Jing'er, don't worry, the mourning family just feels that the spirit is a little weak, and there is nothing serious, so don't worry too much." ”

"It's not a trivial matter to be in good spirits, and I ask the imperial grandmother to take care of her health." Xie Jing didn't seem to hear the perfunctory words of the Queen Mother, and said worriedly, but the Queen Mother just nodded casually, and then greeted Xie Jing for a while, and then served tea to the guests.

"Sister Ju, what's going on?" Outside the Shou'an Palace, the palace maid who brought out the tea quietly asked another person who also came out with the tea, and the little palace maid with the tea looked like she was only seventeen or eight years old, and her face was still very green, it seemed that she had just entered the palace, and she had some connections in this Wutai Palace, so she could come to serve the Queen Mother, but after all, she had just come here, so she really didn't understand the scene just now.

And the other palace maid who seemed to be a little experienced and was called "Sister Ju", after hearing the little palace maid's question, said with an unchanged face: "What's going on?" ”

"Just now, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Princess Chu came to greet the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother neither invited them to sit nor waited for the tea to be served, why did she let them go?" The little palace maid looked at her sister Ju very puzzled, waiting for her to solve her doubts.

"What's not clear about this, and why?" But the little palace maid's sister Ju glanced at her, and said in a light tone: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not favored by the saints, you don't know, right?" ”

"Of course I know this, but even so, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still the eldest son of our Great Zhou, and his identity is very noble." The little palace maid said especially sincerely, after all, the eldest son of the emperor who occupied the eldest son of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been the next emperor, which has almost never been missed in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, just take the most recent one, isn't Emperor Zhou Hui the eldest son of the emperor who occupied the first emperor and occupied the eldest emperor, he is not the emperor of the Great Zhou now.

The little palace maid said as a matter of course, but after her sister Ju heard it, she pouted and smiled, and then sighed again: "You remember, the eldest son of the emperor of our dynasty is different, His Royal Highness the King of Chu ......" The person who said it was silent for a while, and then continued to the little palace maid: "Anyway, as long as you remember, in the future, you will see His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu in the Wutai Palace, and the etiquette cannot be a little wrong, but in front of the Queen Mother, no matter what the Queen Mother does, you must be invisible and inaudible. ”

In the end, Sister Ju of the little palace maid still did not say to the little palace maid that His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor of their dynasty, is no longer a symbol of dignity, and under the deliberate neglect of Emperor Zhou Hui, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has long been noble, maybe compared to other unknown princes, in the heart of Emperor Zhou Hui, it is even worse. As for why, this is everyone's question and everyone's taboo, and no one dares to violate it.

After all, the nightmare of the bloody Fengyu Palace back then, as long as there are people with some qualifications in the palace, they will never forget it, and for this taboo of Emperor Zhou Hui, even the Queen Mother will never mention it, not to mention these little people who are like ants in front of the heavenly family? So in the end, she didn't say anything to the little palace maid, but just told her a few words.

And the little palace maid looked at Sister Ju, who was hardly angry with her, and talked to her so sharply, and was so frightened that she hurriedly responded: "Yes, I know." ”

The little palace maid didn't dare to say anything more and followed Sister Ju towards the kitchen, but at this time, Xie Jing and Xu Youshan had already left Wutai Palace, got into the car, and walked to another place.

"Where are we going?" Xu Youshan looked at the flowing scenery outside the window with some surprise and asked Xie Jing.

But Xie Jing didn't speak, just opened his eyes and looked at her, then closed them again, leaning on the pillow behind him to pretend to sleep, and Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing like this, knowing that he wouldn't say it, so he didn't ask again, just lying alone by the window, looking at the slowly flowing scenery outside the window, I have to say that in this palace city, there are indeed all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, which are beautiful. And it's the same sentence, what is outside the palace, there are all here; But there are some of them, but not necessarily outside the palace.

Especially the palace that was skipped just now, it is obviously the soft and chic of the Jiangnan Water House, but in the blink of an eye, when she walked by and looked at it again in a different position, she found that when she looked at it from another direction, you will find that this is not just the architectural style of a Jiangnan Water House, it also has the taste of atmosphere and heroism, extremely contradictory, and extremely fit, so that people can't help but sigh at its subtlety when they look at it.

And this is just one of them, there are many other wonderful things that can't be said, so that Xu Youshan forgot for a while, Xie Jing is taking her to a place where she doesn't even know where her destination is.

"Knock knock" But at this moment, the car suddenly stopped, and the wall of the car was gently knocked, and then the voice of the song came: "Your Highness, it's here." ”

Arrived? Xu Youshan's eyes widened curiously, and she quickly turned her head to look at Xie Jing, and Xie Jing finally opened her eyes at this time, sat up, and looked out the window a little dazedly, revealing a look of surprise to Xu Youshan.

Xie Jing has always been indifferent and cold, he is always indifferent and leisurely, as if nothing can make him panic. But now Xie Jing is very different, Xu Youshan looked at the shaking look on his face, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground in shock, and the feeling of helplessness that was a little attached to Xie Jing was actually revealed on Xie Jing's face, especially in front of her, which made Xu Youshan speechless...... Isn't that a crime!!

Although this may be a bit unkind, Xu Youshan looks at Xie Jing's already unreasonable skin, and when he usually doesn't smile, or even ridicules and makes things difficult, it will make people spineless and nymphomaniac, not to mention that now he shows such a helpless expression, isn't this a crime that makes people unable to control it? (To be continued.) )
