Liu Ke took a deep breath and stood at the door of the Splendid Palace.

After Su Qianqiu's bamboo sedan chair arrived, Liu Ke respectfully gave her a flat salute: "The princess of the King of Chu, Liu, has seen Su Jieyu. ”

Su Qianqiu had also seen Liu Ke a long time ago.

She has also heard of the emperor's friendship with Liu Ke, but what she is even more jealous of Liu Ke is that Liu Ke was able to put down his glory and return to the Chu Palace, without staying by Rong Shuo's side.

It was this wisdom that she didn't.

Seeing Liu Ke saluting her as usual, she ignored it, walked straight past Liu Ke, and entered the palace gate of the Splendid Palace.

She didn't take it in front of Liu Ke, but she really didn't know how to face Liu Ke, as if it was not appropriate to say anything to her.

Hailan of the Splendid Palace, seeing this, was afraid of Liu Ke's embarrassment, so he was busy saying in Liu Ke's ear: "Don't worry about Jieyu Niangniang, she is deeply favored by the emperor, but this canonization only sealed her as a Jieyu, I think she is uncomfortable, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Liu Ke smiled and nodded, looking indifferent.

"Princess, let's go in too, the princess must be in a hurry." Seeing that Liu Ke was still smiling, Heilan couldn't help but have a good impression of Liu Ke in her heart.

As she spoke, she stepped forward to help Liu Ke.

Liu Ke threw a grateful smile at her.

At this time, the splendid palace was already full of guests and lively.

Not only did the maidens of the palace who had just been canonized come, but even the family members of officials in Beijing also took the opportunity to enter the palace.

The emperor is such a sister, today she has a birthday, who doesn't rush to stammer.

Therefore, at this time, the atrium of the Splendid Palace was crowded with a room full of people.

But because of Queen Shi Xiu's sitting. It didn't seem that noisy.

They all whispered and laughed with the people next to them, and Queen Shi Xiu was also talking to the people of the Shi family.

Liu Ke looked in the direction of the queen, but did not see Liu Wan's figure, so he withdrew his gaze.

Rong Ming, who was sitting in the birthday star's seat, was particularly beautiful in a bright red palace dress today.

Seeing Liu Ke walking in with a big belly, she hurriedly ran to the door to continue.

As soon as Liu Ke entered the gate of the Splendid Palace, he seemed to see a familiar face.

She stole glances at the people sitting there. Suddenly, a face attracted her.

"Ake. Why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Rong Ming didn't care whether Liu Ke saluted or not, and pulled her to a chair.

"Bring the gifts!" Liu Ke just sat down. Rong Ming stretched out his hand and said to Liu Ke, "Didn't you say that you were going to bring me a special gift today?" ”

Liu Ke lowered his head and smiled, took out a book from his arms and said with a smile: "I saw that you like to collect paintings before, so I flipped through it in the study." I didn't expect this book to be there, so I gave it to you. ”

Rong Ming took the "Wenyuan Map" in her hand and said with a disappointed face: "This is your birthday gift to me." Don't you think it's a bit perfunctory? ”

Liu Ke glared and said: "What's the perfunctory, I searched for many days in the study to find it, you think about it, this book has experienced my marriage, and the Chu Palace's house was raided, and it is still lying in the study of the Chu Palace." Don't you think it's auspicious? ”

Rong Ming pouted and shook his head, "I don't think so, when I raided the house." And I won't take all the books away and burn them, like this inconsequential book. Naturally, it was thrown in its place. ”

"And do you want this book?" Liu Ke gave her a blank look and said.

Rong Ming hesitated a little and said: "I don't know how many such books there are in the palace, I really should let you take them back." ”

Liu Ke didn't wait for Rong Ming's words to finish, he reached out and took the book back, and said in Rong Ming's ear with a smile: "Since you don't like this book, then I will take it back, but the little elephant of my brother that is sandwiched in it will also be taken back." ”

After Rong Ming heard this, she hurriedly reached out to grab it,

Liu Ke put the book into Rong Ming's hand, and said with a smile: "This is still when I was in Boling, my brother found it for me from outside, and I am very reluctant to send you." ”

Rong Ming hurriedly stuffed the book in his hand into his arms, and smiled at Liu Ke: "The queen invited a drama troupe from outside for me, you can stay and watch the play for a while before leaving, if you are tired, let Heilan lead you to my room to rest." ”

Liu Ke didn't expect Rong Ming to have such a careful side, and smiled at her: "Thank you." ”

Although the people in the room seemed to be talking, as soon as Liu Ke came in, everyone saw it.

Liu Ke grew up in Boling and was not familiar with them, so he didn't greet them one by one, but just greeted each other with the people of the Shi family.

As soon as the others watched Liu Ke come in, Princess Rong Ming greeted her, and they all guessed her identity.

Among them, those who had seen her said disdainfully: "It's just the princess of the Chu Palace, who escaped the emperor's raid by the emperor of the previous dynasty by swindling her death, and now the emperor's grace is mighty, and she has returned to the mansion." ”

After listening to this person's words, the eyes of the people present looked at Liu Ke a little subtle.

Liu Ke didn't care about their gazes, and still sat still.

"It's just the title of a princess, now the life and death of the prince of Chu are unknown, and now there is only such a woman in the palace of the king of Chu, which is really pitiful." I don't know who said that.

"What's so pitiful, you see that she coaxed the princess so happily with a book, and it can be seen that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Although Shi Xiu didn't have any friendship with Liu Ke, he was a relative in the end, and he vaguely heard everyone talking about Liu Ke, so he said loudly: "Sisters, ladies and wives, today is the joy of Princess Rong Ming's birthday, and most of you came to the palace to celebrate the princess's birthday." The banquet was held in the Huilan Palace, and after eating, they all stayed to watch the play. ”

After listening to the queen's words, some of them were full of joy and wanted to stay, and some of them respectfully resigned.

Most of the female dependents of the officials' families resigned.

Only the people of the Shi family were left behind.

There are then the palace maidens in the palace.

After most people resigned, the splendid palace was quiet.

Liu Ke quietly looked at the ladies of the various palaces who were doing it, and finally fell on Jia Nanqiu's face.

Jia Nanqiu raised his face and showed a smile towards Liu Ke.

Liu Ke fixed his eyes to see her face clearly, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Immediately, she panicked and withdrew her gaze.

At this time. It was not only Liu Ke who was surprised, but also Su Qianqiu, who was sitting opposite Liu Ke.

After the emperor's canonization edict was issued, he never went to Su Qianqiu's Hidden Moon Pavilion again, and Su Qianqiu has never been out of the Hidden Moon Pavilion, if it wasn't Rong Ming's birthday today, she wouldn't have come out.

What surprised her was that she didn't expect to see Su Wanqiu here.

Her eyes were fixed on Jia Nanqiu's face.

Su Qianqiu took a deep breath. Don't doubt it. Although she changed her name, Su Qianqiu knew that the person in front of her was Su Wanqiu.

What Su Qianqiu regrets now is that he didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots at that time, if he was ruthless at that time. There won't be any trouble now.

She has lived in the palace since she was eight years old, and she has never seen any kind of thing, she will not be naïve to think that Su Wanqiu's entry into the palace is just a coincidence.

Just when Su Qianqiu and Su Wanqiu looked at each other. There was a shrill voice of the eunuch outside: "The emperor has arrived-"

These newly canonized palace ladies only received the holy decree of canonization, but there are few people who have really seen the emperor.

As soon as I heard that the emperor was coming. They all stood up to greet each other.

After Rong Shuo got off the morning court, he hurried over to congratulate Rong Ming on his birthday before he took off his court clothes.

He walked into the gate of the Splendid Palace without squinting, and just after taking two steps, a familiar figure entered his sight through the afterglow of Guò's eyes.

Rong Shuo's feet froze. glanced sideways at Liu Ke, his heart moved, and he walked towards Rong Ming.

"I've seen the emperor's brother." Rong Ming saluted crisply. Then she tiptoed and said, "I invited Liu Ke here." Would you like to reward me with something? ”

Rong Shuo raised his hand and flicked it on her head, and whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear: "She is pregnant with Liujia now, why are you letting her suffer from this?" There are so many people today, can you take care of them? If you want her to enter the palace, can't you find a different time? ”

While they were talking, Liu Ke went down under the leadership of Hailan.

Everyone's attention was on the emperor, and no one noticed that Liu Ke left the central hall and went to Rong Ming's bedroom.

But Rong Shuo saw it.

At this time, he himself smiled bitterly in his heart.

After Rong Ming listened to the emperor's words, he was about to reply, when he heard the eunuch behind him say: "The emperor has a reward, and Princess Rong Ming has received thanks!" ”

Rong Ming hurriedly knelt down to receive the reward.

"The emperor has a reward, a pair of silver-gilded jeweled carved flat squares, pairs of red gold silk hairpins, pairs of red gold chiseled hairpins, pairs of red gold inlaid hairpins, red sandalwood jewels, pairs of blue night crystal jade bracelets, and pairs of gold-inlaid pearl and emerald soft bracelets to celebrate the princess's birthday!"

After everyone heard this, they were all envious that the emperor had rewarded so many things for the princess's birthday.

But Rong Ming didn't like these things at all, and after she politely thanked her, she stood up.

Rong Shuo saw that Rong Ming's face didn't matter, spread out his palm and put it in front of Rong Ming's eyes.

Rong Ming looked at the ancient jade carved horse pendant in Rong Shuo's palm with a look of surprise.

"Thank you, Brother Huang!"

"It was given to the princess by the emperor just now, and this is for my brother and sister."

Rong Shuo's words were a little hot in Rong Ming's eyes.

Shi Xiu stood behind Rong Shuo.

She thought Rong Shuo was a person who would never laugh, but today he smiled so warmly.

Shi Xiu's heart was cold, such a smile would never belong to her.

"Queen!" Rong Shuo said coldly: "Take everyone to the Huilan Hall for a banquet." ”

Shi Xiu was distracted and didn't hear the emperor's words.

Rong Shuo raised his voice and said, "Empress! ”

At this time, Shi Xiu relieved herself, and when she heard Rong Shuo calling her, she hurriedly responded: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

"Take everyone to the Huilan Palace, I have something to say to the princess."

This was the first sentence they officially said after they became husband and wife, and Rong Shuo's tone was as cold as the ice edge in the middle of winter.

Shi Xiu bit his lip and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The concubines present had all heard about the relationship between the queen and the emperor, but they didn't expect them to even speak so coldly.

Under the leadership of Shi Xiu, everyone came out.

"If you have anything to tell me, is it about Liu Ke, she came by herself today, if you have anything to say, tell her yourself, why bother to stay with me." Rong Ming fiddled with the small jade horse in his hand.

"I know." Before Rong Shuo's words fell, he had already walked towards Rong Ming's bedroom.

Rong Ming wondered, "What are you doing in my bedroom?" ”

She was about to follow up just now, but she was already locked out of the door by Rong Shuo.

Liu Ke entered Rong Ming's bedroom, but for the sake of cleanliness, she really didn't rest, and was sitting on a chair near the window talking to Heilan.

Seeing Rong Shuo breaking in in a dragon robe, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

Rong Shuo didn't wait for her to go down, so he held on.

Heilan, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, showed a surprised look in his eyes.

After Rong Shuo helped Liu Ke up, he just looked at her and didn't speak.

Liu Ke was also silent.

After a long time, Rong Shuo said: "Do you want to go to my Qianqing Palace to have a look, next to the dragon case where I reviewed the chapter, I ordered someone to put a pot of white begonias, which opened a few days ago." ”

"Me"!

The emperor actually called "me" to the princess of the king of Chu?

Heilan suddenly felt as if she had discovered some secret, she regretted that she didn't avoid it when the emperor came in just now, but now it's too late to leave.

After listening to Rong Shuo's words, Liu Ke took a step back, kept a distance of three steps from him, and smiled: "Your Majesty, Begonia has no heart, people have a heart, the queen mother and you are a bond, it is a thousand-year-old love, Your Majesty should cherish it." ”

"You blame me for marrying someone else, don't you?" Rong Shuo felt a faint pain in his heart after listening to Liu Ke's words.

Liu Ke shook her head, she sighed, maybe no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change the obsession in Rong Shuo's heart.

At this moment, Rong Ming couldn't wait outside his cheeks and shouted, "Brother Emperor, don't embarrass Ah Ke!" ”

Rong Shuo glanced at Hailan and said, "You take the princess to the Huilan Palace." ”

Heilan was pardoned and hurriedly bowed and went out.

Liu Ke stepped and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Rong Shuo.

Liu Ke was a little impatient, but Rong Shuo was the emperor, and she couldn't be disrespectful to him, so she made a full salute and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, do you know?" There is a kind of love called the fulfillment of the other party, and Liu Ke begged His Majesty to fulfill it. ”

Rong Shuo smiled coldly and said, "You have news of Rong Yi, right?" Did the ring bring it to you? ”

Liu Ke couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this, and instead of answering his question, he asked, "Does Your Majesty know that you gave me the girl Huaixiang and want to poison the child in my womb?" ”

After Rong Shuo heard this, the expression on his face froze, and before he could speak, Liu Ke said with a disappointed face: "Do you know?" ”

"Even if Rong Yi is still alive now, as long as I don't restore his status as the prince of Chu, he will be a white ding, do you think he is still worthy of you?" Rong Shuo took his gaze away from Liu Ke's face.

Liu Ke grabbed the question just now and didn't let go: "Liu Ke just wants to know if the emperor knows that Huaixiang wants to poison my child?" ”

Rong Shuo looked at Liu Ke and said, "I know! (To be continued)
