Chapter 028: Two Minds

Thank you for the sachet that the restaurant rewarded!

The next day, it was the queen's birthday.

Early in the morning, the entire palace was busy.

On this day, the morning dynasty was held as usual, and after the morning dynasty, Emperor Guangzhao received a letter from the king of Qingping from northern Xinjiang.

Emperor Guangzhao opened it and found that there were two more envelopes inside: one was to congratulate the queen on her birthday, and it was not sealed. The other letter is indicated that it was opened by the emperor himself and is sealed.

The emperor looked at the contents of the letter to the empress, and asked Gonggong Liu to send it to the empress.

After Gonggong Liu went out, he opened another letter and said:

Father:

See the letter like face! Mother asks me to greet you! I wish you good health and all the best!

Father, the son of the minister back to the north of Xinjiang for some time, but the heart is still thinking of you in the capital from time to time, this time to write to you, is to ask for something: as early as more than a month ago, the son of the son back to the capital chose to take the plum garden of the branch road, because of the plum garden in the sound of the piano attracted to meet Shen Xizhen girl, the son of the son of her at first sight, there is a sense of hate. Later, the war in northern Xinjiang was defeated by her help, and the son's love for her increased a little, and the son decided that she was the most ideal wife in his mind, so the last time he returned to Beijing to receive the reward, the son went to the Shen Mansion again, and learned that she still had no marriage contract, and could feel that we were interested in each other, so he came up with the idea of concluding a marriage with her, and asked his father for instructions, hoping to get his father's permission.

Erchen Chu Zi is courteous

After reading the letter, Emperor Guangzhao smiled and secretly praised Chu Zihou for his vision, and he was also trying to give them a marriage!

He put the letter in the drawer of his study, thinking about what to do next.

While thinking about it, Father-in-law Liu walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the queen's birthday banquet is about to start." Gonggong Liu said respectfully to him.

"Good!" Emperor Guangzhao got up with a smile and strode out of the Zichen Palace.

The banquet was held in the Ciyuan Hall where the queen lived.

The civil and military officials and the soon-to-be-crowned princess Hua Yue were all present, and Xizhen was also invited to play the piano for the queen.

Hua Yueyu had heard of Xizhen's deeds for a long time, and she really wanted to see her, so she came to the palace this time and specially brought a meeting gift.

Looking at Xizhen who was sitting on the stage and playing for everyone, Hua Yue's face also showed a look of surprise, she didn't expect Shen Xizhen to be so young and so coquettish, she couldn't connect the flower-like girl in front of her with the scheming legend in everyone's mouth for a while.

Hua Yueyu looked at the prince and found that he was looking at the joy on the stage, and his eyes were also full of amazement and appreciation, her heart chuckled, but on the surface she was still silent, while secretly adjusting her mind, she continued to watch.

After the banquet, Hua Yueyu came to Xi Zhen's side and saluted her respectfully: "Hua Yueyu has seen Miss Shen. ”

Xi Zhen found that the visitor's face was like a peony, his waist was like a willow, the corners of his mouth were smiling, his gait was elegant, and he was busy getting up to return the salute.

"I have heard of Miss Shen's name for a long time, and I am deeply honored to see it today!" Hua Yue said with a smile again.

"The flower girl has won the prize!" Xi Zhen responded with a light smile, and felt that he should take the initiative to understand the identity of the other party, so he asked: "The flower girl is the daughter of the university scholar Huaxian?" ”

"Exactly, Miss Shen knows my father?" Kazuki asked hurriedly.

"I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard of it for a long time."

"Thank you, Miss Shen!"

Hua Yueyu then took out the gift prepared in advance from his pocket and said, "I heard that burning incense can add to the atmosphere when stroking the qin, so I prepared a little sandalwood, and I hope Miss Shen will smile!" ”

Xi Zhen hurriedly waved his hand: "I just met the flower girl, why are you embarrassed to accept your gift?" ”

"It's just a few boxes of sandalwood, and I want to make friends with Miss Shen, so it's a meeting gift." After saying this, Hua Yue took the initiative to put the boxes of sandalwood in Xizhen's hands.

Fortunately, Xizhen had already prepared, so she took out a newly made folding fan from her pocket while accepting the sandalwood of the Flower Moon Ballad, and handed it to the Flower Moon Ballad with a smile.

"This is my new one, I hope the flower girl likes it!"

Hua Yue took it, opened it gently, and immediately let out an exclamation.

I saw that there was a tree painted with a plum blossom in full bloom and a beautiful woman sitting under the flower and stroking the piano, the red of the plum blossom and the blue on the woman's clothes formed a sharp contrast, and it became more and more exquisite and dazzling, and the artistic conception was elegant. On the side of the fan, there is also a poem: After Xiyuan Xinla, I saw a few Jiangmei, and the tailoring was at the beginning.

Huayue Ballad is also full of poetry books, and this song from Zhou Bangyan is also her favorite, so the smile on her face is about to overflow.

"What a beautiful fan, beautiful workmanship, beautiful painting, beautiful poetry, and beautiful fonts!"

Hua Yue held it in his hand and admired it carefully, admiring it from the bottom of his heart.

"It's good if the flower girl likes it!"

At this moment, a palace maid came over and said to Hua Yueyu, "The queen and the crown prince, please come and sit in the house." ”

"Okay, I'll be right here." Hua Yueyu said to the palace maid with a smile on her face. While turning to face Xizhen, he said, "I've said goodbye a little in advance, goodbye!" ”

"Goodbye!" Xi Zhen said busily.

Hua Yueyu smiled charmingly at Shen Xizhen and turned to leave.

Xi Zhen put sandalwood in his pocket and walked to the Xiyi Museum.

…………………………

In the evening, in the Ciyuan Palace, the protector Liu Shipai and Empress Wenci were talking in secret.

"This must not be, queen, first, the prince already has a marriage contract, and second, that Shen girl knows occult arts, and she can kill people by doing a random law, how dare she get too close to the prince?" After listening to the queen's story, Liu Shijian immediately objected.

"I actually have some concerns about this, but Chan'er seems to like her very much, thinking that she can help him consolidate his future fortune." Empress Wenci said.

", if you need her to assist Jiangshan, you can communicate with her more on weekdays and ask her for advice, why bother to marry home?"

"What's wrong with marrying home?" Empress Wenci asked again.

"A woman who knows how to spell stays by the side of the future monarch, queen, do you feel at ease? Unless she is single-minded towards the Prince, however, can you make sure that she is single-minded towards the Prince? Liu Shijian asked in a low voice.

Empress Wenci's expression instantly became stern.

Yes, if you are still unsure of her thoughts, where would you dare to leave such a woman by the prince's side?

If it is an ordinary person's identity, it is relatively easy to find out whether the other party has a good impression of him, but for a person like the crown prince, who holds the power of the future monarch, it is more difficult to analyze her real intentions for him. This is also the reason why the queen has always unswervingly recognized the identity of the future princess, because the feelings of the flower moon ballad for the prince have been there since childhood, which can convince everyone.

And Xizhen and the crown prince may have only met once in the palace, right? What kind of feelings?

Even if the first impression is good, there is definitely no deep affection.

Therefore, when Liu Shijian said this, Empress Wenci immediately sobered up.

She knew what to do.
