However, Gao Jin didn't let himself sink into his memories, so he said heavily: "This matter should not be rushed, Rong'er will take care of it first." ”

Although Gao Jin did not let himself fall into memories, but his tired face still betrayed his heart, it happened that the queen also wanted to hurry to finalize the candidate, Gao Jin also agreed, so she said lightly: "The concubine also thinks that it is not appropriate to be in a hurry, and after a round of random inspections, the concubine will come to report the details of the progress to the emperor." ”

Gao Jin nodded thoughtfully, but his thoughts were still unconscious, drifting away.

The queen is all focused on the selection of people who practice the imperial concubine, and the other candidates, when they learn of her arrival, will try their best to come to ask for peace, but Song Anle has never been here once, and has not even had direct contact.

The queen remembered the familiar feeling of her, and always felt that Song Anle did not appear every time, as if she was deliberately avoiding her, so she sent someone to announce that Song Anle came to meet her.

The queen was sitting in the main hall of Yongfu Palace, and an elderly grandmother hurriedly ran to her chin and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the little master of the Song family is not in the side hall, I heard that he is going out to visit the garden." ”

"Presumptuous;" The queen said angrily: "Is it important for her to visit the garden, or is it important for the palace to summon her?" ”

The queen was prevaricated by Song Anle with various excuses again and again, she naturally couldn't hold her face, and the most annoying thing was Song Anle's bad attitude.

The grandmother fell to the ground in a panic, "Niangniang is angry, the slave has already sent someone to summon her, and she will be recalled soon." ”

The queen always thought that Song Anle used every time she didn't see to attract her attention, but her bet was a little too much, but she was also the mother of a country, how could she be allowed to ignore it as a little woman.

"Let's go, this palace will personally go to meet her and come to meet her." The queen walked out as soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to see if Song Anle highlighted her differences again and again, whether she was really different, or was she just playing tricks.

Song Anle was taking care of the mint she planted in the courtyard, but her mind was already far away, she pondered, it was not a long-term solution to not see the queen again and again, in case she angered the queen, she would not only work in vain, but also miss the position of the princess, so she sighed secretly from time to time.

Mei Xin had long seen that she was uneasy, but there was no better way to help her, so she had only been there to help.

After a while, Mei Xin still couldn't help but say: "Little master, it's not a way for you to avoid the queen like this, see if you can think of other ways." ”

Song Anle paused the movements of his hand, but said thoughtfully: "Mei Xin, how long do you say a person's memory is?" ”

Mei Xin said leisurely while loosening the soil: "It depends on who you are right for, and you may never forget it for the rest of your life, but for those passers-by in your life, you may not have stayed in your mind at all." ”

Song Anle said more worriedly: "Yes, that talent is the point." ”

When the master and servant were still immersed in their own thoughts, Zhan Ju ran in in a startled, and kept shouting "Little master, little master"

Song Anle and Mei Xin saw that she hadn't changed at all, and they both shook their heads helplessly, because they were used to the big grin of Zhan Ju, so they didn't greet each other.

Zhan Ju hugged the dirt in her arms, and when she saw that Song Anle and the others were unmoved, she said with an ignorant face: "Why don't you react at all?" ”

"Where did you run away again, how did you still look like this?"

"Guess what I got here?" Zhan Ju complacently put the soil in her arms carefully in the small garden they were tending to, and after she put down the soil, they found that there were still small green seedlings wrapped in the soil.

"Mint seedlings." Song Anle was full of surprise, because when she saw the mint cultivation, although the mint seedlings made by Zhan Ju were still very small, she still recognized them at a glance.

"How do you know?" Zhan Ju looked at Song Anle even more curiously, thinking that she could let them guess for a while, but she didn't expect to be recognized all of a sudden.

"Where did you get so many mint seedlings?" Song Anle was still very surprised, she had been looking for mint seedlings for a long time, but she couldn't find them, so she wanted to be found by Zhanju.

Zhan Ju said as a matter of course: "Of course it was stolen." ”

Song Anle frowned, she could answer the stolen things so refreshingly, presumably only Zhan Ju could do it, but her answer was not the answer she wanted.

Mei Xin said worriedly: "Where did you steal so many mint seedlings, what if someone finds out?" ”

Zhan Ju still said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, there are so many in our backyard, I only stole a corner, and no one will find out." ”

Song Anle confirmed again: "You mean, these mint seedlings were brought from the backyard of Yongfu Palace?" ”

Zhan Ju nodded, "Yes, there are a lot of them in the backyard." ”

Song Anle lowered her eyes thoughtfully, no wonder she could smell the fragrance of mint from time to time, but she could not find the source of the fragrance, and the backyard was the place where Gao Yuanshang was forbidden, so ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

Thinking of this, Song Anle said in shock: "What are you talking about, you trespassed into the backyard of the eldest prince?" ”

Zhan Ju seemed to realize the catastrophe she had created, she was dull for a while, and then said with a smile on her face: "I just accidentally walked in, no one found out, I promise." ”

Zhan Ju was afraid that she would be discovered, and secondly, she was worried that Song Anle would punish her for her mistakes, so she raised her hand and swore an oath.

Song Anle hoped that her guarantee would not be wrong, anyway, the mistake had already been committed, even if she was taught another lesson and warned, Zhan Ju must have nodded and agreed here, and then left it behind in the blink of an eye.

However, Zhan Ju's mistake can be regarded as helping me find mint, so Song An said again: "Forget it, hurry up and plant all these mints, otherwise they will die." ”

Seeing that Song Anle was no longer pursuing it, Zhan Ju finally nodded with reassurance, Mei Xin also followed to help, and the three masters and servants carefully planted the mint seedlings.

Suddenly, "The queen has arrived~~"

Song Anle, Mei Xin, and Zhan Ju all looked at each other in shock, originally saying that they were not in the courtyard, why would the queen suddenly come.

Mei Xin saw that the matter was urgent, and she said worriedly: "Little master, you wait in the house first, and wait for the slave maid to deal with it first." ”

"It's too late." Song Anle guessed that since the queen could come to raid, she must have caught the evidence that she was here, and if she deliberately escaped, wouldn't it be even worse if she was caught.

However, she is covered with mud like this, it is really a loss of dress etiquette, and if she is blocked by the queen like this, her appearance must be present, and in a hurry, she can only wipe the dirt on her hands on her cheeks.

The queen led Chen Liangdi and a team of palace people, Mama had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, Song Anle hurriedly got up to greet her, and when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she knelt down very respectfully, and bowed her head and said: "The concubine sees the queen's mother, I don't know that the queen's mother is coming, the concubine is not welcome, and I hope that the mother will atone for her sins." ”

The queen was originally unintentional, but she heard Chen Liangdi say that Song Anle was in her palace, and she was still a little unsure, so she came to check, but she didn't expect that she was really in the palace.

"I heard that Song Chongyi went out of the palace to visit the garden, why did he come back?"

Song Anle still bowed his head and said: "The queen and concubine are not going out of the palace to visit the garden, but to find some flowers and plants to come back and cultivate. ”

"Then do you know why this palace has summoned you for a long time, why didn't you come to meet you for a long time?"

"Niangniang atoned for her sins, the concubine just returned to the courtyard, and I don't know about the Niangniang's summons for the time being, I hope that Niangniang will atone for her sins."

The queen glanced coldly at the grandmother on the side, and the palace people conveyed instructions, but there were times when they couldn't be conveyed, so the grandmother was shocked and signaled.

The queen couldn't blame Song Anle for not coming to see her, so she said coldly: "Calm down." ”

"Xie Niangniang." After Song Anle bowed his head, he got up with Mei Xin's support.

After Song Anle got up, everyone saw that her dress had already been stained with mud, so those who came to see the joke secretly laughed.

As a full of clothes, it also symbolizes the image of Yongfu Palace, Song Anle's appearance, how much lost his identity, although the queen was dissatisfied, but it was not good to embarrass her in public, so she walked into the courtyard and said: "I don't know what kind of flowers and plants Song Chongyi is looking for, and he actually went out of the palace to look for it in person, and the palace is curious." ”

"Let the mother smile, the concubine is just looking for some green plants everywhere to fill the garden." Song Anle said as he followed the queen.

The queen looked at Song Anle's mint seedlings that they had cultivated, and with her understanding of Gao Yuanshang, she clearly knew that mint was Gao Yuanshang's favorite, so she glanced at Song Anle in surprise.

The queen didn't know if Song An's love for mint was entirely from herself, or because of Gao Yuanshang, but no matter what it was, it was enough to prove that she and Gao Yuanshang had an invisible fate, so the queen said lightly: "It turns out that Song Chongyi likes mint plants?" ”

"The concubine only admires mint, and she doesn't dare to expect to like it." Song Anle wanted to say that she loved the house and Wu, but she was afraid that it would be too obvious and be suspicious of the queen, so she simply showed it tactfully, which not only showed her awe of Gao Yuanshang, but also explained her inner desire.

The queen looked at the tender green mint thoughtfully, in fact, in their conversation, the mint was like Gao Yuanshang, and Song Anle expressed her awe of him because she didn't dare to have him.

It can be seen that Song Anle is really attentive to Gao Yuanshang, and her performance is not obvious, this is her low-key, the queen is secretly happy, if Gao Yuanshang can find such an imperial concubine as Song Anle, it must also be his creation.

The queen said meaningfully: "There are some things that can be kept for appreciation, because you are not willing to destroy them, but there are some things, instead of appreciating it, why not put it in your own hands, wouldn't it be more reassuring to protect it." ”
