Because of Yun Xue's gaffe in the morning, Hua Yu notified everyone to pack up their things and prepare to go back early.

Zhu Mingyu naturally has no opinion, but after last night, she didn't see Qin Keji all morning, which was a little strange, and she always felt that Yun Xue couldn't get rid of him like this.

Not only did she think so, but Zong Siqi also thought so, and on the way back, she sat in the same car as Hua Yu.

Zong Siqi said: "Xiao An told me this morning that she went out in the middle of the night last night and saw the county lord coming back from outside, and what was even more strange was that it was Qin Keji who sent the county lord back. ”

Xiao An is Zong Siqi's maid, nodding affirmatively on the side, even if the county lord can admit his mistake, she will definitely not fail to recognize Qin Gongzi's appearance.

Hua Yu was still a little skeptical when she heard this, and said: "Maybe I just happened to meet when I went out, and it's nothing, this private meeting in the middle of the night can be big or small." ”

Zong Siqi didn't believe it, and said: "During the day, the county lord looked at Qin Keji like that, but I didn't expect her to ask him out in the middle of the night." ”

"Let's see, maybe the two families are also interested in getting married." Not only is the county lord, but Zong Sihui is not the same, but Hua Wu didn't say this.

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses outside, and the car stopped.

Hua Yu asked inside, "What's wrong?" ”

Outside: "Miss, it was the carriage of the Hengwang Mansion behind that hit someone." ”

Zhu Mingyu also didn't expect that he was resting in the car with his eyes closed, but he didn't expect that suddenly the carriage shook a few times, and when he opened his eyes, Mu Hibiscus told her that their carriage had hit someone.

Zhu Mingyu came out this time with two maids, and there were a lot of guards. So she didn't worry, anyway, she just waited inside. This section of the road back to the city is the only way, and there are not a few horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians coming and going. Their carriage is not moving fast, how can it still hit people?

There was an elderly woman next to the carriage where Zhu Mingyu was sitting, holding a child and crying, wanting to make people pay for their lives, because there was farmland nearby, and many people were working in the field at this time, and when they heard the sound, they came around. However, he was stopped by the guards on the periphery. After the last incident, Princess Heng's protection of Zhu Mingyu has become even stricter.

Because of the lesson of the last time, the guards were not ambiguous. It's going to pull people aside to deal with it, this kind of porcelain touching is very common, they didn't hang the palace mark when they came out this time, and it's not easy to show their identities now.

The woman was a difficult one. While holding the child, I held the car and didn't let go. The crowd of onlookers saw that the guards behaved arrogantly, and they even turned to the woman, thinking that these guards were bullying.

The carriages in front and behind all stopped, and the roads that were not too narrow were blocked, and Hua Yu quickly asked the two housekeepers who came with her to deal with it after knowing it.

The two mothers-in-law talked for a long time, and finally set the amount of compensation, at a price of 100 taels. When Zhu Mingyu heard that he asked Mu Hibiscus to give them money, he regarded it as a ruin to avoid disaster. This is how the carriage can go again.

After returning to Hengwang's Mansion, Yun Xue didn't trouble Zhu Mingyu again. Instead, he went back to the West Garden.

Zhu Mingyu didn't care about her, but when she returned to Nuanyang Courtyard, she found that Kapok was back.

Kapok has lost a lot of weight, and she is still a little haggard, but her spirit is not bad, Zhu Mingyu is very happy to see her, but she still feels a little sorry for her. Mama Jiang didn't let Kapok manage so many things anymore, and arranged some easy work for her.

In a few days, it will be the birthday of the Queen Mother, and it will be August 15, and the clothes that Princess Heng asked her to make for Yun Xue and Zhu Mingyu have been made and sent over.

Soon on August 15, King Heng naturally wanted to take his family into the palace to pay homage to the banquet, this kind of thing was not Zhu Mingyu's turn, but Princess Heng took Zhu Mingyu with him every year.

Seeing Zhu Mingyu standing there in a pink and blue bamboo leaf plum blossom embroidered round-necked robe with a skirt of the same color, Princess Heng really had the joy of having a woman in my family growing up.

Princess Heng looked at Zhu Mingyu, but Zhu Mingyu was looking at Yunxue. Yun Xue is wearing a cherry red palace dress, and she looks very festive and auspicious. After returning from Mingquan Temple, she was much more honest, to be precise, she was depressed for a few days, and this was the first time Zhu Mingyu saw her after coming back that day.

Just like this, the group entered the palace, Zhu Mingyu secretly looked out from the curtain, this was the first time she had entered the palace, but this time there was Mama Jiang who was traveling with her, and when she saw that her hands were unruly, she hurriedly stopped her.

Finally got out of the car, Zhu Mingyu still adhered to the previous teachings of Mama Jiang's thousands of instructions, did not squint, and followed Princess Heng to see the Queen Mother by the palace maid.

Although he couldn't look at it casually, Zhu Mingyu still grabbed the eyes that could be used and looked at the surrounding environment. The palace was still built in the previous dynasty, and it was not rebuilt when Emperor Mingjing ascended the throne, but only repaired the original palace. After entering from the Zhenghua Gate, there is a long passage, the ground is a cyan flat stone slab, which is a little smooth when walked by, and there are high palace walls on both sides, which is a little depressing to look at.

However, Zhu Mingyu and they only stayed here for a while, so they changed into a sedan chair and continued to go to the depths of the palace, this time Jiang Mama was walking outside, and Zhu Mingyu quietly opened a corner from the window on the other side and looked out.

Because it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, the more you go inside, the more grand and formal the decoration becomes, Zhu Mingyu looked at the busy palace maids outside, but she was a little glad that she did not give birth to them, and it was too tiring to live in such a place every day.

Empress Dowager Dezhen is seventy-two years old this year, Zhu Mingyu has an impression of her, she is a somewhat round old lady, who looks kind and kind, but Zhu Mingyu remembers that she once saw a palace maid who was beaten to death in front of the Guangning Palace because she did not bring a palace flower on the side.

Because this memory is too profound, the original Zhu Mingyu is particularly reluctant to see the Queen Mother, and always feels that she is going to kill people with a smile and a smile. Empress Dowager Dezhen is an extremely disciplined person, so Zhu Mingyu has always been honest in front of her.

After the tedious palace ceremony, Zhu Mingyu was finally able to get up. First of all, King Heng paid homage to the Queen Mother, although they were monarchs and ministers, they were also mother and son, and he prepared a giant coral tree for the Queen Mother this time.

Zhu Mingyu looked at this coral tree and remembered the one that Zhu Chengye gave to Mrs. Zhu. Some wonder if these filial sons like to send this.

Yun Chubai was not as restrained as Zhu Mingyu, and asked the Queen Mother for credit: "Imperial grandmother, I have a share of the credit for that coral." ”

The Queen Mother was accustomed to the white hippie smiling face. I didn't think it was wrong, and said a few words to him with a smile, Yun Chuhao couldn't let go in front of the Queen Mother, and stood aside without speaking after respectfully greeting his birthday.

King Heng didn't stay long before he went out, and Yun Chubai and Yun Chuhao also followed, leaving the ladies to accompany the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at Yun Xue's face and said, "Ah Xue." I haven't been in the palace recently, and I haven't seen it for a few days, but I have lost a pointed chin. ”

A proper smile appeared on Yun Xue's face, and she said, "Imperial Grandmother." The granddaughter has spent a lot of effort in order to lose weight. ”

The Queen Mother smiled, and then asked Min Zhilan: "Zhilan has been through the door for half a year, and it looks like she has grown some meat." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Su smiled. said: "Zhilan just found out that she is pregnant. ”

Zhu Mingyu was a little surprised when he heard this. Unconsciously looked at Min Zhilan's belly, but she didn't expect her to be pregnant, and she hadn't heard any letters in the palace recently.

Princess Heng also smiled: "I really can't hide anything from you, I can see it at a glance, and we juniors can't surprise you." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "As long as you can speak, you still want to hide it from me." "Yun Chulan has been married for more than three years, and in addition to the crown princess, there are three side concubines, but nothing has come out so far. This is also where the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with her, and heard that Min Zhilan was pregnant. I was very happy, and immediately took down a tourmaline stone ring on my hand and gave it to Min Zhilan.

Zhu Mingyu quietly glanced at Princess Heng, she must have just known about it like herself, but she reacted immediately, and slapped the queen mother's ass, which was really not easy.

Min Zhilan blushed and hurriedly knelt down to thank her, but was stopped by the Queen Mother and said, "Don't use these false courtesies, if there is anything uncomfortable, just look for Mama Hua next to me." ”

Mama Hua is an old man who has followed the Queen Mother for decades, and she is also a figure in the palace, and when she heard the Queen Mother's order, she stepped forward to greet Min Zhilan, and Min Zhilan returned the half salute.

The atmosphere suddenly became joyful, and the Queen Mother seemed to have just seen Zhu Mingyu, and said, "Mingyu is also a big girl." ”

Zhu Mingyu hurriedly put on a dignified and virtuous smile and said, "Thanks to the blessing of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother was just talking about it, she was old and easy to get sleepy, and she couldn't stand it after chatting for a while, so a few people withdrew and went to the side hall to wait.

Zhu Mingyu felt that their treatment was not bad, and the wives outside who were waiting to see the Queen Mother for her birthday didn't know how long it would be.

Because Min Zhilan was pregnant, she went to the room to rest. Zhu Mingyu also felt bored when he stayed in the side hall with Princess Heng, and when he was thinking about how to go out for a walk, he really came to the rescue.

Yun Luo came over, and after greeting Princess Heng and Concubine Su, he said, "I want Mingyu to help me see what clothes to wear, I wonder if Aunt Wang can lend her to me?" ”

Princess Heng smiled: "Go ahead, I also played together like this when I was your age." ”

Yun Luo only invited Zhu Mingyu alone, but he didn't call Yun Xue, which made Yun Xue a little surprised, although her relationship with Yun Luo is not particularly close, but it is better than Zhu Mingyu and Yun Luo, right? Why did she only call Zhu Mingyu?

Zhu Mingyu didn't expect that Yun Luo would only go out by himself, but he still followed her out of the Guangning Palace. But Yun Luo didn't take Zhu Mingyu to choose clothes, but took her to the back garden.

The flowery garden did not keep Yun Luo's footsteps, although Zhu Mingyu didn't understand, but he still followed her and continued to walk, and when he came to the end, he saw a sign that said Treasure Courtyard before stopping, and from the outside, he could still hear the cries of birds and animals that he didn't know about.

"Let's go, I'll take you in and have a look."

When he went in, Zhu Mingyu really opened his eyes, it turned out that this treasure house was a place to raise animals. Zhu Mingyu also raised kittens and puppies in his previous life, which is really interesting.

Yun Luo took Zhu Mingyu to look at them cage by cage, and introduced her babies to her, and even remembered their birth days clearly. Yun Luo looks like a few family treasures, Zhu Mingyu feels that she is also a lonely child, so she raises so many animals.

Yun Luo glanced at Yun Xue, but didn't say anything, pointed to a bird with a white tail, and said, "Do you know what that is?" ”

Zhu Mingyu looked at it and said, "Could it be a white peacock?" "She's been to the zoo before, and it's a little small, but it's a peacock.

Yun Luo had some feelings of meeting a confidant, and said, "I didn't expect you to see that this one is still very young, I don't know if I can grow up?" ”

Zhu Mingyu hurriedly said: "I think this one will definitely be fine, don't worry." Actually, she couldn't see it, it was just comfort.

However, Yun Luo believed it and said, "Well, I'll teach you to come and see when you grow up." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for the princess to inform." Zhu Mingyu also responded.

"Just call me Yunluo, anyway, I'm just a princess."

It seems a little bad to call her by her name, are they so close? What Zhu Mingyu didn't understand was how Yun Luo suddenly became close to him, and he seemed to have a different attitude towards himself from the last time he was at the lotus appreciation party.

Seeing Zhu Mingyu looking at him, Yun Luo was a little strange and said, "Is my face dirty?" ”

Zhu Mingyu smiled and said, "No, I'm just a little confused, you obviously don't like me?" ”

Seeing that she asked so directly, Yun Luo nodded and said, "I didn't misunderstand you, you are really a straightforward character, I saw it last time I played." ”

Zhu Mingyu also felt that Yunluo was very interesting, and he liked himself based on this, which was really simple.

Yun Luo continued: "The last time I played, I saw Yun Xue cheating and hitting your horse with a club, otherwise you wouldn't have fallen, I really can't agree with that kind of behavior." ”

This is probably the reason why Yun Luo snubbed Yun Xue, but it was not Yun Xue who fell off the horse, but Zhu Mingyu was not good at telling the truth to Yun Luo, so he only said: "My cousin was injured by mistake, not intentionally trying to harm me, there will inevitably be collisions when playing, don't you see that I have also hurt Sihui?" ”

Yun Luo shook his head and said: "This is different, I can see that she did it on purpose, and I didn't see it with my own eyes that time, I only listened to people's words, but it was biased." ”

"Don't mention that, it's already in the past anyway."

Yun Luo nodded and said, "I caused the incident last time, so I want to compensate you, you see what you like here, just choose, it is my apology." ”

Seeing Yun Luo admit her mistakes so seriously, Zhu Mingyu really began to think that she was a cute and worthy girl, so she said, "No need, I won't raise it." "Every one here is Yunluo's treasure, and Zhu Mingyu is really reluctant to take it.

Yun Luo insisted: "You must choose one, this is Yi's will." ”

Zhu Mingyu chuckled, even using this, she looked around, pointed to the things in a cage, and said, "Then be it." (To be continued.) )
