Yun Ce and Qiao Fengzhi glanced at each other, and both of them understood in their hearts that Emperor Qian's order was to completely replace him, summoning the people of the old clan of North Vietnam to Nanqian and letting them stay in Nanqian's fiefdom, and the people in Nanqian's fiefdom wanted to move out of the place and seal it in other places. This is undoubtedly a big move.

"By the way, Jingcheng, it is very appropriate for you to send those beauties in the Beiyue Palace back to Dongjing, Emperor Jing has come to thank you, praise our country's merits and virtues, and treat the world with courtesy."

"Erchen was originally to enhance the relationship between the two countries, and now that our country's reputation is spreading, the two countries are harmonious, and it is naturally better." Huo Jingcheng Road.

"Well, you've only come back from a long journey, so I won't keep you much, go back and wash the dust early, tomorrow I will hold a celebration banquet in the palace." The northland, after all, I am in the south! "Emperor Qiandao.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty (Father)—" Several people congratulated in unison, and then bowed and withdrew.

……

At this time, Yao Duran had also arrived at the magnificent East Palace, and was led by Qin An to sit in the Chengfeng Pavilion and drink tea. This Chengfeng Pavilion is built according to the lake, the window is the endless blue lake, the lotus flowers on the lake are densely connected, the wind passes through the fragrance, refreshing people's hearts. In the blink of an eye, there are good scenery everywhere.

After Yao Duran sat for a while, footsteps suddenly came from outside the Chengfeng Pavilion.

Yao Duran and Lu Yan glanced at each other, and Lu Yan immediately got up and went out of the pavilion to check, this look, Lu Yan suddenly became nervous, and reminded in a low voice: "Madam, it's Concubine Ling!" ”

When the words fell, the person who came was close, and Lu Yan hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave has seen the side concubine!" ”

Yao Duran hurriedly got up, only to feel that her eyes lit up, and a very beautiful woman had already walked in with the hand of the maid. She looks in her twenties, with a fair complexion, and a goose egg face that is very charming and beautiful. She is slender and graceful, wearing a water-green wide-sleeved floor-length skirt, with a ruyi belt of the same color erected around her waist, lining out a thin waist like willow, and the whole person is graceful and jade, as beautiful as a person in a painting.

Yao Duran bowed his knees: "The concubine bowed to the side concubine." ”

Concubine Ling had also secretly looked at her, her beautiful eyes showed undisguised hostility, and she said in a casual tone: "You are the woman brought back by His Highness?" ”

When Yao Duran heard this, she knew that she might have misunderstood something, and when she was about to report her identity, she heard that Lu Yan had already hurriedly explained: "Concubine Niangniang, she is not ......"

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Ling suddenly stopped her, and asked in a cold voice: "Concubine Ben speaks, how can you interject?" You cheap hooves, you know how to see the wind and rudder, and you have climbed to His Highness's new love so quickly, do you recognize that the old is not as good as the new? ”

"The mother is angry, the slave and the maid are guilty, the slave and the maid are guilty, and the mother is begging for forgiveness." The green man begged for mercy again and again.

Yao Duran hurriedly explained: "Niangniang doesn't need to be angry, the concubine is ......."

"Concubine? With such a self-proclaim, it seems that His Highness has already given you a title? Concubine Ling interrupted rudely again, staring at her coldly with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Yao Duran felt helpless for a while, and was about to explain again, when a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion again: "Concubine must not be rude!" ”

This voice was majestic, and when several people heard it, they immediately turned around to look, and in a beautiful and pleasant jingling sound of jade ornaments, they saw a well-mannered woman Shi Ran walking in. This woman was born cold and beautiful, lacking a little bit of a woman's gentleness and delicateness, with a bit of heroism between her eyebrows, and between the flow of her eyes, there is a stunning attitude. Looking at her clothes again, she was wearing a rouge-colored floor-length skirt, with a neat golden hairpin on her head, all of which were eye-catching, especially a string of jade forbidden steps tied around her waist, which could press the skirt and prevent the skirt from falling apart and losing her shape when walking. It is also used to restrain women's behavior and standardize manners. When wearing a no-walking prohibition, the sound produced is slow and urgent, and if the rhythm is chaotic, it will be considered rude. Only people with noble status and strict manners will wear it, which shows that the identity of the woman in front of her is extraordinary, no wonder she has an invisible shocking force.

"The slave has seen the princess!" Lu Yan saluted again, and Yao Duran suddenly realized that the latecomer in front of him was actually the crown princess Xiao.

"No courtesy." The crown princess said a word, and Lu Yan Xie got up and stood quietly on the side.

Yao Duran came back to his senses and saluted respectfully: "The concubine comes to see the crown princess." ”

The crown princess stepped forward to help her, and said in a gentle tone: "Mrs. Qiao is exempt, you are a guest of the concubine when you come to the East Palace, the concubine is late, and I hope that Mrs. Qiao will not be too lazy." ”

"Mrs. Joe?" Concubine Ling was puzzled.

The crown princess glanced at her and said in an unhappy tone: "Otherwise, who do you think it is?" Are your eyes only focused on who Your Highness has recruited? ”

Concubine Ling's pretty face sank, and she said in a cold tone: "What is the concubine doing in a strange way?" Even if she is Mrs. Qiao, what is she doing in our East Palace? ”

The crown princess said: "His Royal Highness and Lord Qiao went into the palace, so he ordered Qin An to lead Mrs. Qiao to the East Palace to wait first, but fortunately, Qin An reported to the concubine on his hind feet, otherwise the concubine will be late, and I don't know how embarrassing you will be." Still not quitting? ”

Concubine Ling was reprimanded, snorted coldly in anger, and retorted: "Niang Niang doesn't have to say it so ugly, right? If you want to blame it, the concubine body is not as noble as you, then Qin An only told you about it, and the concubine body doesn't know anything. Besides, if it weren't for the concubine going straight and always being this bad person, where would you go to be a good person, and where would you get the name of a virtuous lady......"

"Shut up! Palm! The crown princess was angry in her heart, frowning and scolding angrily.

Yao Duran watched this scene quietly, feeling deeply embarrassed, so she had to lower her head. Quietly sighed, this Concubine Ling is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, even the crown princess has a little bit of meaning in her eyes, and she doesn't leave half of her face in front of outsiders. It can be seen that this concubine is domineering, but it also proves that this concubine is favored.

Sure enough, Concubine Ling was not afraid at all when she heard that she wanted to slap her mouth, but said casually: "That's it, let's calm my anger, the concubine body will not make you angry, the concubine body will just leave." ”

With that, she calmly held the maid's hand and walked slowly.

When the crown princess saw her walking away, she looked away, turned her head to Yao Duran and said, "There are many concubines in the East Palace, but this one can't be disciplined, which makes Mrs. Qiao smile." ”

"The concubine never dared. Today, it was the concubine who disturbed the peace of the East Palace and put the princess on the back burner, which was the sin of the concubine. Yao Duran lowered his eyes and said.

"Don't say that, Mrs. Qiao is a guest, and it is the concubine's lack of discipline that makes Mrs. Qiao disturbed. Come, sit down. The two sat down in accord.

The crown princess commanded, and the maid served sumptuous refreshments and fruits.

The crown princess was kind and accommodating: "Mrs. Qiao's distinguished guests visited, but Qin An reported it late, and the concubine only had time to prepare these pastries and fruits, and I hope that Mrs. Qiao will not be too lazy." ”

Seeing this, Yao Duran said in her heart that this princess was really hospitable and thoughtful. The position of the crown princess, and even the position of the future queen, should be such a character.

"The crown princess is serious, and it is a supreme blessing for the concubine to be entertained by the mother." Yao Duran thanked him and picked up a small piece of fruit with a silver skewer and put it in his mouth.

"Madame Joe is from North Vietnam, and I don't know if these are to your liking." The crown princess said.

After Yao Duran chewed slowly, he said with a smile: "It is said that Qianjing is a fruity city, and now that you taste it, it is well-known." The concubine thanked the crown princess for her hospitality. ”

Mrs. Qiao was serious. After Lord Qiao came to Nanqian, he was deeply appreciated by His Majesty, and within a few days, he was given an official position. And Lord Qiao is the person next to His Highness, the two of them are so close, can you and I still be estranged? I also hope that Mrs. Qiao will come and move around more in the future. The crown princess said.

"That's what the princess said." Yao Duran had a little more affection for her, and sighed secretly in her heart, she deserved to be Huo Jingcheng's wife, her words and deeds were measured, her wisdom was exquisite, she knew the overall situation, and she was a husband and a long face everywhere.

The two continued to talk and laugh freely, accompanied by the lotus breeze near the window. The natural coziness of the warm season is incomparable to the barely warm warmth of the cold season. In the future, she will stay in this warm and fruity place of spring.

It's just that the first day was a little uncomfortable, and she had already made him angry. And she had already figured out that his anger should come from her and Huo Jingcheng. After all, many things are indeed overdone, and even she can't figure it out herself, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will chase after him single-handedly and take risks to save her, let alone look like in the eyes of others. What's more, Qiao Fengzhi is so smart, how can he not be confused? It's just that this matter can't be concealed at all...... Ay.

Sure enough, after Qiao Fengzhi left the palace, he even refused the night banquet in the East Palace at night, and after picking up Yao Duran, he exchanged a few polite words with Huo Jingcheng and a few people, and then pulled her to leave the East Palace under the gaze of everyone.

The long street is bustling step by step, and the fragrance is everywhere. In the longing of the figure, Qiao Fengzhi strode ahead, and Yao Duran was pulled by him, almost trotting to keep up with his footsteps. The green man was interested and followed them from afar.

The two shuttled through the chaotic crowd, and Yao Duran stumbled and bumped into pedestrians. After walking like this, Yao Duran suddenly shook off his hand.

Qiao Fengzhi stopped and turned his head to look at her. There seemed to be a faint resentment in her beautiful eyes, and at this moment, she looked at him in front of her, and lost her sense of security for the first time.

The two looked at each other for a long time, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first. Yao Duran was finally defeated, and bluntly broke the sensitivity in the hearts of the two: "Fengzhi, don't be like this." If you really doubt me and Your Highness, then leave me, and you don't have to hold back yourself and stuff me. ”

When Qiao Fengyi heard this, it was like dry wood meeting a fire, and it burned in an instant. There was anger in his eyes, but his tone was indifferent: "Divorced you?" If you haven't married yet, why don't you talk about it? ”

When Yao Duran heard this, she was even more like fuel, and her eyes began to heat up as soon as she "buzzed" in her head, and she was stunned for a long time before she nodded and said: "Okay, okay, you're right, I'm not your wife, so naturally I won't trouble you to come to rest, I'll go myself!" ”

After that, her reason was completely extinguished, and she turned around and hurriedly ran into the crowd, and in her hurry, she only heard Lu Yan call her anxiously, and she ignored it. Bumped and bumped all the way, twisted and turned, and ran far away in one breath, she stopped to catch her breath, and I don't know when, tears were already hanging on her face, Yao Duran secretly scolded herself for being so pretentious and fragile?
