"I've seen the princess!" Ye Chao hugged his fists and bowed his head.

"Master Ye doesn't need to be polite! You are the person next to the prince, and you are deeply valued by the prince, I heard that the prince handed over the affairs of the 'Haoqing Garden' to you, and today the princess invited you to come, just to understand some information. ”

"The mother has won the prize! What do you want to know, as long as Ye Chao knows, you must tell the truth. He replied with a calm face, neither humble nor arrogant.

Xi Ruoya nodded with satisfaction: "Actually, it doesn't matter, but I just want to know what happened to Concubine Lin's injury?" It's a little ashamed to say this, it's been a few days, because there are many things at the moment, and the princess doesn't have time to see her, and today I happened to meet the maid next to her, and I knew that she was hurt a lot. No, I couldn't rest assured for a while, so I invited you to ask. ”

"The mother has a heart! Concubine Lin was injured by the assassin that day, but everything else was fine, but her legs were fractured, and it was estimated that she would be unable to walk for two months, plus she was too frightened, and her spirit was a little weak, and she needed to recuperate for a period of time before she could recover. ”

"Oh? I couldn't walk for two months! No wonder this girl insisted on inviting a tailor to come back to make clothes, it seems that I was negligent in this matter, but fortunately, with Master Ye here, I will not let Concubine Lin be wronged. ”

"A few days ago, Concubine Lin did mention the matter of making clothes to her subordinates, and it happened that the princess returned to the door, so she made the decision by humiliating her duties, and asked the princess to forgive her sins!" Ye Chao glanced at Ling Shuang and the woman in purple beside him, and his heart was clear.

"Master Ye is serious, you share the worries of the prince and the concubine, and take care of Concubine Lin carefully, what is the crime?"

Xi Ruoya quietly confirmed the truth of the matter from the conversation with Ye Chao, and saw that she couldn't find Ling Shuang's fault, so she immediately put on a standard dignified smile on her face, glanced at the people behind her, and said: "It's rare that everyone is here today, why don't you go to visit Concubine Lin together, first, because of the previous negligence, to compensate her, and secondly, to express our concern, what do you think?" ”

"What Niangniang said is very true, and the concubine also has this intention!" Lu Ling'er hurriedly agreed.

Lu Ling'er followed Qiaoxin and Yong'er, who were the concubines given by the emperor when Situ Yu first returned to Beijing, and they could be regarded as the women who had been with Situ Yu for the longest time. I thought that for the sake of the two of them who had served for many years, Situ Yu would give a name to some extent, but he didn't want to marry a concubine this time, and he didn't even give them the position of Mrs. Ru, these days he was extremely disappointed, but he didn't dare to show it. At this moment, when I heard that I was going to visit the scandalous Concubine Lin, I naturally couldn't suppress my curiosity to take a peek, and they all echoed in unison.

"Since everyone has this idea, then please ask Master Ye to lead the way in front." She is no stranger to this Chen Palace, but she has never been to this "Haoqing Garden", and she really doesn't know the way.

"This ......" Ye Chao looked at the group of people, a little embarrassed.

"What? Isn't it Master Ye who doesn't know the way? Xi Ruoya still maintained her standard smile and teased.

"The princess said that she laughed, but the prince ordered that Concubine Lin was not in good spirits and needed to recuperate, and I am afraid that it would be ...... if there are more people." The women in front of him were not fuel-efficient lamps, and he really didn't want them to disturb her.

"Since we are going to visit the sick, we will naturally have a sense of proportion, if the prince blames his own princess. What's more, Concubine Lin hasn't met the sisters since she entered the Chen Mansion, and she lives in such a remote place, and she doesn't even have a person who talks to herself. Do you think that's the reason? ”

"That's right, the mother is right......"

"It's still thoughtful...... the women chirped.

"Okay, you and Ling Shuang lead the way in front, let's go and take a look!" Xi Ruoya turned her head, her face was a little serious, and she said to Ye Chao. After talking for a long time, she was also tired, and she really didn't have the patience to grind with him.

"Yes, Princess!" Seeing Xi Ruoya so insisting, Ye Chao had no choice but to respond.

Ye Chao and Ling Shuang walked in front, and a group of women behind them embraced Xi Ruoya like a moon and walked towards the southwest corner of the palace.

"Ruoya, did you really go to visit that Concubine Lin?" Mrs. Xi asked softly in her ear while everyone was not paying attention. She saw her daughter's secret punishment of the girl just now, and also heard the displeasure in her heart, afraid that she would act irrationally on impulse.

"Naturally, it's true, is it possible that my mother thinks I'm going to do something?" Of course she understood her mother's thoughts. But what kind of person she is Xi Ruoya, she doesn't just have a beautiful face, she can't do anything or not, she knows it very well in her heart.

Just punished Ling Shuang's girl, but indirectly gave her and her master a warning, established their own prestige, and let them know who the mistress of this palace was. Naturally, there will be no trouble with such a slight punishment of a girl, but that Lin Fang Wanyan is the same as her is the emperor's personal county lord, although her status in the palace is lower than her, but before she finds out the situation and situation, she will never act rashly.

"It's good if it's true, as the mistress of the palace, you should care about her. My mother knows that you have always had ideas and proportions in doing things, and you can just know how to do some things. "Looking at my daughter's appearance, I should guess what I want to say, there are many people, and some words are just enough.

"Mother, please rest assured, Ruoya knows what to do." The dignified smile hides a trace of unknown grievance.

Although the scenery of the palace is good, the buildings and pavilions are scattered; The promenade of the water pavilion winds back; Flowers and trees. But this group of squeamish ladies have walked such a road on weekdays, walked for half an hour, and have not yet arrived at the 'Maoqing Garden', at this time they can not stand it, and their posture is not as graceful as before, their weak legs only feel heavy, and they all want to sit down on the spot to rest, but because the princess did not speak, no one dared to stop, so they had to grit their teeth and try their best to control their legs, trying to make their posture more elegant.

In fact, Xi Ruoya was also tired of walking, but the idea of going to the 'Haoqing Garden' was put forward by herself, thinking that countless pairs of eyes were looking at her behind her, so she had to cheer up and continue to walk forward, but she was annoyed in her heart, she knew that this 'Haoqingyuan' was so far away, she would definitely arrange a soft sedan chair to send her, and she would never go like this.

"Master Ye, this 'Haoqing Garden' is really far away, why don't you rest for a while before leaving!" Xi Ruoya turned her head and saw that her mother was so tired and out of breath that she couldn't help but stop.

"It's Ye Chao's thoughtlessness that makes the princess and Mrs. tired, and there is a gazebo a few steps ahead, where you can rest your feet." Ye Chao said and walked slowly in front to guide them.

As soon as everyone heard that there was a place to rest, they immediately came to their senses again, and followed Ye Chao quickly.

Ling Shuang and the woman in purple felt disdain and amused when they saw them all exhausted and staggering.

After walking a short distance, I turned a corner and saw a hexagonal pavilion hidden among the trees.

The scenery of this section of the road has been very different from before, there are very few exquisite rockery pavilions, water pavilion corridors, instead of towering dense trees, few houses, few people, and feel that it is extremely inconsistent with the luxury of the palace, as if to the suburbs.

"Master Ye, what is this 'Mao Qing Garden'? Why is it built in such a remote area? Sitting in the gazebo, Xi Ruoya asked while wiping her sweat with a silk handkerchief.

Her question also aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

"Hui Niangniang, this 'Haoqing Garden' was originally built to settle the residence of the women who made mistakes in the palace, so it was built in a remote place."

"Isn't that something like a cold palace? What happened to Concubine Lin, how could the prince let her live in such a place? Chunmei was strange for a moment and blurted out.

Xi Ruoya turned her head and glared at her, she felt speechless, and lowered her head.

"Oh, the placement of the female dependents who made mistakes was just the idea when this garden was originally built. But the prince said that the ladies in the palace of King Chen are all people who know books and etiquette, and they will never make any big mistakes, even if someone really does something sorry for the prince and the palace, the punishment should be punished, so that place is useless at all. As for letting Concubine Lin move in, first, because she was injured and needed to recuperate; Second, she has lived in the countryside since she was a child, and she likes to be quiet, and the prince thinks that the garden is quite suitable for her. ”

On the surface, this question was just raised by a girl, but Ye Chao knew that everyone present wanted to know the reason, so he simply said it so as not to bother them to guess.

After saying this, he saw that everyone was disdainful, ridiculed, proud, or relieved...... I understand the good intentions of the prince better.

This was the weather in June, and it was so hot just now that it was too hot all the way, and after resting in the shade of the trees for a long time, there was a chill, Xi Ruoya didn't like such a cold feeling, and got up and said, "It's almost, let's go!" ”
