"I don't know why Gonggong Xu came to Emperor Jin's Mansion so late?" , Chu Yu picked up a cup of tea beside him, took a sip, and said softly.

Gonggong Xu bowed respectfully to Chu Yu, and then waved his hand backwards, "Seventh Princess, this is a thank you gift from the Empress Mother to thank Emperor Jin for saving the crown prince and princess, please accept it with a smile." ”

Chu Yu's eyes flashed, "It's just a gesture, and the palace can know the queen mother's intentions." ”

After a pause, he said, "This gift, Father-in-law Xu should take it back." ”

Gonggong Xu looked at Chu Yu's eyes and flashed a deep meaning, "Seventh princess, don't torture the old slave, the old slave is just a person who sends words and gifts on his behalf, if the old slave returns the same way with these gifts, the old slave will have to be punished." ”

"The old slave is old, and the old slave can't stand this kind of punishment!" , Gonggong Xu squinted and smiled.

Chu Yu also smiled, "If this palace doesn't accept this gift, it will bring trouble to Father-in-law Xu." ”

Gonggong Xu smiled, pursed his lips and said, "Seventh princess, this gift was personally selected by the queen mother for the seven princes and the seventh princess, but the queen mother's heart!" The old slave hoped that the Seventh Imperial Concubine would gladly accept it. ”

Personally selected by the Queen Mother? A dark light flashed in Chu Yu's eyes.

"Since my father-in-law said so, if this palace doesn't accept it again, it will become the palace's right." , Chu Yu paused, turned his head and said, "Come on, accept all these gifts." ”

After a while, a few maids on the side stepped forward to take the tray in the hands of those eunuchs.

Gonggong Xu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "That's very good, since the gift has been delivered, it is inconvenient for the old slave to stay here for a long time." ”

"Father-in-law Xu, since you've come here, why don't you have dinner here and go back?" , Chu Yu raised his eyebrows.

Gonggong Xu arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the Seventh Princess, the old slave of the Seventh Princess's kindness is appreciated, but the old slave still needs to go back as soon as possible to restore the queen's mother, so it is not appropriate to stay longer." ”

Chu Yu's eyes flashed, "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for the palace to stay longer, Shuangqi, send off guests!" ”

Shuang Qi raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Yu, then nodded, and made a gesture of invitation to Gonggong Xu.

When Shuangqi took Father-in-law Xu out of the house, Chu Yu got up and walked to the place where the maids placed their gifts.

These gifts sent by Father-in-law Xu were placed in a total of six trays, and they were all covered with red cloths one by one, Chu Yu lifted these red cloth heads one by one, and unexpectedly saw some jewelry, as well as some precious medicinal materials.

These things were chosen by the queen herself? Chu Yu chuckled, although these gifts looked precious, the treasures did not match her temperament at all, and she didn't need the medicinal materials.

After all, she also has this kind of ginseng, and the quality is better than that she sent.

Still, she couldn't throw them away. After thinking about it, Chu Yu summoned a few maids and asked them to put all these gifts into the room where the dowry was placed.

***

Time always passes inadvertently, and the next day is the next day in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yu woke up early in the morning and heard Qiluo meowing in the courtyard.

"What's going on?" , Chu Yu pushed open the door and asked with a frown.

Qiluo, who was bending down to search for something, straightened up and bowed to Chu Yu, "The Seventh Imperial Concubine is early, the slave maid, the slave maid is noisy with the Seventh Imperial Princess?" ”

Chu Yu shook his head slightly, "No, Bengong just woke up, what are you doing?" ”

Qiluo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then frowned and said worriedly, "Seventh princess, the slave maid hasn't seen Xiaobai for a day, I wonder if Xiaobai will be kidnapped by the bad guys?" It had never been like this before. ”

Chu Yu frowned, and suddenly remembered the scene where Xiaobai suddenly ran away yesterday, and a sense of worry also ignited in his heart.

But after thinking about it, Chu Yu calmed down again, Xiaobai is a cat, even if they go to play, they don't need to worry too much, let's wait and see the situation.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu asked Qiluo not to be too anxious, and after waiting for a day or two, if Xiaobai didn't come back, he would go to find it.

Qiluo had no choice but to nod her head, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At the same time, the dividing line*****

At the same time, in the eastern corner of the splendid palace, a compact palace with green tiles and red walls stands proudly.

The main entrance of the palace is painted with two large characters in jasam: East Palace.

In the main hall of the East Palace, a man in white was sitting upright at the desk, his plain face did not hide his majestic appearance, he spared a white bandage from his chest to his back, and at this moment he was holding a scroll in his hand and looking at it seriously.

There was another person in the room, a woman in a beautiful brocade dress, who was looking at the man in front of her with a shy face and a look in her eyes.

It is said that serious men are the best-looking, and her husband's serious appearance is simply too good-looking, and Zuo Qingqing's heart ignited a lot of pink bubbles.

Looking at him with a focused expression, and glancing at the bowl of rock sugar pears on the side, Zuo Qingqing stepped forward and reminded softly, "Your Highness, this is the rock sugar pear I specially boiled for you, if Your Highness is free, remember to drink it." ”

When the man in white in front of him heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at the rock sugar pear served in a white jade celadon bowl on the side, and nodded invisibly.

Zuo Qingqing, who was paying close attention to the man in front of him, saluted happily when he saw this, and retreated.

Not long after Zuo Qingqing left, a blue-gray figure quietly entered the palace.

"Master."

Hearing this, the man in white raised his head slightly, and said after humming lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Since the last time the wind was explored, the Seven Princes have not moved."

"Wait slowly, always wait until the day he moves." , The man in white put down the scroll in his hand and slowly stood up, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The man in blue and gray frowned and said, "Master, my subordinates are afraid that our actions last time alarmed him and made him have a sense of defense, and I am afraid it will take a long time for him to move, and my subordinates are afraid that the other party will already know our movements." ”

Wen Hao smiled, I'm afraid he already knew.

The murderous intent he felt in his coma that day was so real, he couldn't be mistaken.

"It's okay, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, wait and see what happens." , Wen Hao pondered for a while and then said.

"Yes." , the man in blue and gray replied.

After a pause, he hesitated again, "Your Highness, there is one thing in my subordinates, I don't know if I should report it?" ”

Wen Hao raised his eyebrows, "You say, this palace is curious, what makes you so hesitant." ”

The man in blue and gray glanced at the windowsill, and then replied lightly, "Your Highness, the cat has come back with you." ”

"Cats?" , Wen Hao raised his eyebrows, and didn't remember what kind of cat it was for a while.

The man in blue and gray reminded, "Yes, it is the white cat that followed back to the East Palace at the beginning, then followed his subordinates to the General's Mansion, and finally followed the Seventh Emperor Princess." ”

As soon as the man in blue and gray finished speaking, a white cat rushed in from the windowsill, and then meowed a few times, poked his head out, and looked at the two people in the room with shining eyes.

Hasn't this cat been following Chu Yu all the time? Why are you here? Could it be that she is here too?

"Why is this cat here?" , Wen Hao retracted his gaze and asked.

The man in blue and gray glanced at the white cat, and said helplessly, "The subordinates don't know, maybe when I came back yesterday, the cat also came back." ”

Wen Hao's eyes sank, and he looked at the cat with a deep look, and after the cat glanced at him, he jumped directly in, jumped onto the desk, and sniffed the bowl of rock sugar pears, and then jumped to Wen Hao's feet, rubbing his skirt with his face.

Wen Hao kicked the cat away with an indifferent face.

The cat didn't notice it for a while, rolled to the side, and then leaned on the ground and glanced at Wen Hao complainingly, and meowed twice.

Wen Hao smiled, "This cat has learned to be coquettish." ”

"Your Highness, do you want to send this cat back? The subordinates heard that the Seventh Princess was very attentive to this cat, and if they found that the cat was missing, they might be worried. The man in blue and gray asked.

Wen Hao squinted at him, "He Xing, you know the Seventh Princess very well?" ”

He Xing couldn't help but want to wipe himself with a handful of sweat, he could know her so well, wasn't it because of him?

Of course, such a thing cannot be said ....

"Your Royal Highness, the Seven Princesses love cats and everyone in the capital is well known, and their subordinates are just hearsay."

Wen Hao blinked and smiled, "Also, she likes cats so much...."

..... I guess I'm worried about the cat's disappearance right now.....

After a while, Wen Hao said lightly, "You also know the character of this cat, even if you want to keep it, you can't keep it, it's going to stay, let it be." ”

"Yes." , He Xingxing bowed his hand and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Wen Hao again, "Slow." ”

He Xing turned around, facing Wen Hao's direction, and asked suspiciously, "What else is the matter with Your Highness?" ”

"That bowl of rock sugar pears, pour it."

"Yes."

"In the future, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the study without the permission of the palace."

"Yes." , He Xing lowered his head and said, and then asked, "Crown Princess....?" ”

"The crown princess can't." , an indifferent voice came.

He Xing arched his hand, "Yes." ”

Crown Princess, I guess I really want to pay it wrong... Thinking of the infatuated woman just now, He Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, amorous is always ruthlessly hurt!

"Your Highness, since there is nothing to do, my subordinates will retreat first." , He Xingbi said respectfully.

"Wait." , Wen Hao said loudly, and after pondering for a while, he said, "He Xing, you go and check who the crown princess has been in contact with recently, where she went, and what she bought, especially spices, and check carefully." ”
