"Private? Even I can't know? Seeing the mandarin duck's behavior, Qing Jin asked sternly.

“…… Be! The mandarin duck nodded and decided to carry it to the end.

"That's right, master, I'm free, take it to the master, I'll take a look, don't worry, even if it's the book of the wild goose given to you by a little guard, even if the master and I know, I will keep it secret for you, and I can also palm your eyes for you, if you are consensual, the master and I will ......"

"Master-" The mandarin duck's cheeks were flushed, not ashamed but angry shouting.

"Alright, alright, I'll not say anything, you can bring the things!" Qing Jin put away her joking tone.

The mandarin duck stood in place and hesitated, Qing Jin's eyes looked over, and the mandarin duck had no choice but to reluctantly step forward and hand the things in his hand to Qing Jin.

"It's two books! Could it be ......" Qing Jin took the book handed over by the mandarin duck, thinking that it was really the mandarin duck's admirer who sent it to express her affection, but when she saw the clear "Female Training" and "Female Commandment" on the book, she stopped abruptly, and then came back to her senses: "It's these two books, I was looking for it, but I didn't expect you to send it to me." After speaking, he put the book in his hand on the side of the couch.

"It was sent by the princess." Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, the mandarin duck had no choice but to confess to Qing Jin.

"I guessed it." Qing Jin's eyes did not take off the book in his hand, and he calmly opened his mouth to the mandarin duck.

"Then master, ......" The mandarin duck stared intently at Qing Jin's face, lest he miss a trace of expression.

"How. Worried I can't open it? Qing Jin's gaze moved from the book in his hand and asked at the mandarin duck.

The mandarin duck was silent.

"I can't think of anything, we eat well and live here. There are also people who bring books over...... By the way, according to the princess's temperament, it shouldn't be so simple, what else did the person say? Qing Jin didn't care, and explained to the mandarin duck.

“…… also said that if the master is okay in the near future, he will not leave the Cloud Courtyard. Seeing that Qing Jin really didn't have any sad expression, the mandarin duck no longer concealed everything he said, but his tone was obviously dissatisfied.

"Look. No one has bothered yet, what else do you have to be unhappy about on such a day. Qing Jin really thought it was very good and said.

Seeing that Qing Jin really didn't feel sad and forced to smile. The mandarin duck finally put his mind at ease: "The slave is busy, master, if you have anything, call the mandarin duck." ”

"There you go!" Qing Jin refocused her gaze on the book in her hand and waved her hand at the mandarin duck absently.

At the same time, the study of the Jingwang Mansion

Long Hanyuan looked at the file behind the table with an expressionless face. Dragon's fright, as usual. Reporting on the daily life of King Jing's Mansion and the situation in the backyard, when talking about the matter between the princess and Concubine Gu, Long Jingfeng deliberately looked up at Long Hanyuan's expression, and found that Long Hanyuan did not have any special expression, so he ended the matter in a few words, and then continued to report other things, and when all the things were reported, Long Jingfeng lowered his head and waited for a while. As usual, he didn't wait for Long Hanyuan's words. The dragon frightened and prepared to turn away.

"In the future, there is no need to report things in the backyard." An indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the room.

The dragon's frightened footsteps paused, with surprise in his eyes, and turned around in disbelief, the master actually opened his mouth in a rare way for a thousand years, and looked at the master movingly, but saw that the master's posture had not changed and looked at the file seriously, could it be that he was hallucinating just now?

Long Han was far from moving, and he didn't notice Long Fengfeng's expression at all, but even if he did, it was estimated that he would not pay attention to the same expression.

“…… Be. Long Fengfeng swept over in Long Hanyuan's cold eyes, and with an expression of what else do you have to do, he was surprised and moved, and responded in hindsight.

Hearing that Long Hanyuan was finished, Long Hanyuan no longer gave him a look to focus on the file in his hand.

A few days later, Qing Jin rarely did not lie lazy on the couch to read the travelogue script, but stood at the desk and wrote big characters seriously.

At this time, the mandarin duck walked in from outside the door angrily: "It's too much!" The tone was unusually angry.

Disturbed by the sudden voice of the mandarin duck, Qing Jin missed, a drop of thick ink spread on the fine rice paper, and the half word that had just been written was ruined, Qing Jin frowned and looked at the half word that was smeared with ink.

The mandarin duck also happened to come over at this time, and when she saw the half of the word that had been ruined, she immediately realized that it was she who suddenly spoke out to lead such a result: "Master, I was wrong, I ......"

"Forget it, it's also that my realm is not enough, what happened to you running in so angrily?" Putting down the pen in his hand, walking to the side of the water tray, and after cleaning his hands with warm water, Qing Jin asked the mandarin duck.

Hearing Qing Jin speak, the mandarin duck didn't care about admitting his mistake for the time being, raised his head and said: "This morning, the slave maid saw that there were not many things in the small kitchen, so he asked someone to go out to buy, but I didn't expect the person sent to turn back in less than a moment, the slave and maid asked what was going on, and the buyer told the slave and maid, he let the gatekeeper block back at the corner gate, and the gatekeeper said that Liuyun Courtyard is now grounded by the princess, and it is forbidden to enter and exit casually, of course, you can't go out to buy, the slave and maid immediately went to the corner gate in person, Although the princess banned the master's feet, she did not ban the feet of the people in the Cloud Courtyard, who knew that the mother-in-law who guarded the door listened to the words of the slave and maid, and insisted on not letting our people go out to buy......"

Qing Jin lowered his eyes and rubbed the cup in his hand after listening to the words of the mandarin duck, and did not have the expected anger, but said to the mandarin duck lightly: "Then don't go out to buy for the time being, and don't use the small kitchen in the courtyard, you send people to the big kitchen, tell the people in the big kitchen, we will get the food from the big kitchen in the future!" ”

"It's obviously difficult!" Hearing Qing Jin's command, Mandarin Duck said a little unconvinced.

"Knowing that others are making things difficult for you, you still take the initiative to make things difficult for others?" Qing Jin raised her head, smiled at the mandarin duck, and said a little funny.

"But...... If we give in so easily, won't it make people think that we are weak and deceitful? Mandarin duck said with some disapproval.

"What's the hurry? Maybe this time it's just a misunderstanding or a coincide......nce," said Qing Jin, but Qing Jin felt that even she couldn't believe it.

"How is that possible?" The mandarin duck resolutely did not believe it.

"Okay, I'll talk about it casually, if someone really wants to make things difficult for us, it is impossible to stop at one time, and we must always understand what the other party is for?" There is also the fact that she Gu Qingjin wants to know whether such a thing is the handiwork of the princess alone, or the result of the joint compromise of the husband and wife in the Jingwang Mansion.

"The slave and maid know, and the slave and maid will call someone to go and talk to the big kitchen." Qing Jin's words finally gave Mandarin Duck some confidence in his heart, as long as the master was on guard.

Looking at the back of the mandarin duck in the distance, Qing Jin's eyes were pensive.

In the harem, from the beginning of the prince's grounding, after the queen asked to see Emperor Ming was refused, Emperor Ming has not been to the queen's palace once, that is to say, the emperor and queen, the most noble couple in the world, have not met for a long time.

In the Queen's bedchamber

This most noble woman in the world was half-leaning on the bed with her eyes closed at this time, her face was pale, but she could not hide her beauty and elegance, coupled with just the right amount of sickness, which made her less graceful and luxurious than usual, but a little more pitiful for no reason.

Hearing the footsteps from far to near, the queen's eyes opened with hope, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she was resentful and joyful, but after seeing that what was in front of her was only a personal palace maid, the indescribable complexity quickly turned into fierceness: "What about the emperor?" ”

"Slaves and maids should be damned, slaves and maids are incompetent, the emperor ...... The emperor went to Concubine Rong's palace. Being stared at by the queen's fierce gaze, the palace maid quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong, what a!" The queen pronounced these two words with hatred, and then walked out of bed despite the fact that she was wearing only her middle clothes.

"Mother, you're still sick, lie back!" A grandmother walked in from the outside with something in her hand, saw the queen who was about to get out of bed, and immediately shouted in surprise, handed the things in her hand to the little palace maid on the side, walked to the queen's bed in a few steps, and helped the queen back to the bed, with love and reproach in her eyes.

"Mama, why do you say that the emperor is so ruthless?" Seeing the grandmother who has accompanied her since she was a child, the queen can no longer hold back her grievances.

"Niangniang, don't think so, the emperor just can't figure it out for a while, and after a few days, the emperor will figure it out, and he will naturally come to visit Niangniang in the palace as before." Grandma hugged the queen and said comfortingly.

"Really?" The queen raised her head from her grandmother's arms and asked with teary eyes.

"Absolutely." Grandma nodded heavily.

The queen seemed to be comforted by the heavy nod of her grandmother, and calmed down: "It's not that the palace doesn't understand those truths, but after all, the prince was brought up by him, so he was ruthless and locked up the prince for so long......"

"It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay, the emperor is just angry for a while, and when the emperor is angry, he will naturally stop locking up the prince, Niangniang, we just have to wait a little longer." The grandmother stroked the queen one by one.

"This palace can see it, the emperor is really ruthless this time, Mama...... You find a time for people to tell the prince, this palace is not good to come forward this time, you let the prince think of his own ideas, he is the emperor after all. The queen's tone gradually became calmer.

"The old slave will." Mama Ma responded, took the medicine bowl handed over by the little palace maid, first tested the temperature, then changed a soup spoon, and said softly to the queen: "Niangniang, drink the medicine, and take care of your body earlier to plan more for you and the prince." ”

The queen took the medicine bowl and drank it elegantly, lay down a little tired, and the grandmother covered the quilt for her intimately, and waited until the queen gradually fell asleep, and then got up and left lightly.

In the court, because the crown prince was banned, Emperor Ming was obviously in a gloomy mood, and the always noisy court meeting withered, and the courtiers were eager to pinch their noses every day to go to the morning court.

The days passed in a hurry in the carefulness of everyone. (To be continued......)
