Chapter 25: Escape Outside the Palace (1)

The white walls hang down a few bamboo leaves that are still verdant in the cold wind.

Xiao Yu picked up the pen, raised her eyes to look at the scenery outside the window, and silently sketched on the white rice paper, with two strokes, and gradually there was a picture of the breeze blowing the bamboo leaves.

It has been a few months since he returned from Dongwu Mountain, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet day instead of Xiao Feng sitting in the Xuanyuan Palace, he has become an idler again. On the contrary, after experiencing Xiao Yu's poisoning and a little low-key, King Qing stood in front of everyone again. The lack of a bumper harvest in the autumn in the Yuzhou area, and the unfavorable handling of the officials who went to provide disaster relief, and the hungry people continued to attack the government and the rich in order to survive with enough food, and by this moment it had evolved into a popular uprising that could not be ignored. Xiao Feng was furious about this, and immediately recalled King Qing, who was recuperating from illness, and asked him to go to Yuzhou in person to check the disaster, and to exterminate the Diao people and bandits who occupied the mountain as the king this morning.

For things like this, the first choice since ancient times should be the crown prince. Xiao Feng gave Ruyi to Princess Liang Naixin of Dingqing at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, and now let King Qing go to deal with disaster relief matters, all kinds of signs have to make people's hearts mutter.

Du Yunjin was very anxious, and kept urging Uncle Yuan to do his best to deal with the matters assigned a few days ago. And the center of this matter, Xiao Yu, has nothing to do with himself, and only locks himself in the study every day to either practice calligraphy or paint, and he becomes more and more depressed every day.

"Miss." Yan Hui, who was originally playing by the window, stood beside Du Yunjin at some point, and said softly: "Ruyu just said, King Qing has sent gifts again." ”

"Why is he here again!" When Du Yunjin heard this, he put down a book of soldiers in his hand, frowned and muttered, "Which play is he going to sing!" ”

Yan Hui smiled bitterly at her, and she didn't know what the purpose of King Qing, who was favored by the emperor, was! After the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, His Royal Highness King Qing sent a lot of rare treasures every now and then, and also named and said that he wanted to give them to the crown princess Du Yunjin.

The little uncle kept sending gifts, and one of them just finished giving, and the other followed, what's going on! Yan Hui was puzzled, and Du Yunjin couldn't figure out the reason for it for the time being.

"Niangniang, do you think this is to accept or not to accept?" Ruyu held a colorful glass lantern painted with a night pearl and stood in front of Du Yunjin with her head down.

"This ......"

Du Yunjin's brows furrowed even tighter, she could accept Xiao Shaokang's gift, because Xiao Shaokang's eyes were clear and did not contain any conspiracy, but Xiao Yuli was such a mysterious man, and he had a mind like the sea, how dare she accept his things without knowing the reason!

"Collect, why don't you accept it!"

Suddenly, a warm voice came from outside the house, and then a robe with dark patterns and white lotus appeared in front of Du Yunjin and the others.

"Then take it." With him answering on his behalf, Du Yunjin also asked Ruyu to put things aside with a smile. This kind of strange thing may be able to please the hearts of other girls, but it is not something that Du Yunjin likes.

"Don't you like it?" Xiao Yu sat on the stool, and Yan Hui stepped forward to add tea for him. "The things that King Qing gave are all good things."

"Really?" When Du Yunjin heard this, he suddenly became interested, and looked at the lantern in Ruyu's hand carefully, it was made more exquisitely, and it seemed that there should be some price. "This thing sells for dozens of taels, there should be one, right?"

"It's only a few dozen taels?" The one who laughed out loud was Ruyu, who had always been steady: "Niangniang, the night pearl powder smeared on the outside of this colorful glass lamp is worth a hundred gold ......"
