"Uncle Zhong!" A lazy, somewhat tired voice came from the carriage.

The old man opened the door of King Yi's mansion, and when he heard this voice, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said, "Is it the prince?" ”

Just when he was a little incredulous, the door curtain was picked open from the inside, and it was Tuoba Zeyan's extremely handsome but somewhat lazy face.

"Lord Wang, I'm back!" Zhong Bo's voice immediately resounded through King Yi's mansion.

Liu Mengyan took Qiu Yun and Jinxiu's hands and walked all the way to Guilan Courtyard.

It's been more than a month since I went out this time. It was early spring when I left, and it was already the end of spring when I came back. The flowers and trees in the house are in full bloom, and the air is full of fragrance.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the corridor, I saw a person running over from the corridor.

"Princess!"

It's Bitong!

Liu Ruli saw her standing in front of her so vividly, and she couldn't help but break free from Qiu Yun and Jinxiu's support, and hugged Bitong who ran to her.

"The princess wants to die slaves! The slave has never been away from the princess for so long! Bitong hugged Liu Mengyan, and her eyes flashed with tears.

"Bitong, you're okay, that's great. When I left, you weren't very good! I shouldn't have left you and just gone out! Liu Mengyan said.

"Princess, it's all slaves who haven't protected you!" Bitong shook her head and looked Liu Mengyan up and down.

"Alright, let's not talk about that bad thing. Let's go inside! Liu Mengyan said. Tuoba Zeyan told her on the road that the Li family would be miserable. Liu Mengyan didn't bother to ask, anyway, she would never see her again in this life.

When I walked into the main house, I saw that everything inside was the same, just like when Liu Mengyan first left.

"The slave and maid clean with them every day, and they hope that the master will come back soon." Bitong Road.

Liu Mengyan nodded, "Go and fetch water, I want to take a bath." Along the way, the dust is still good in the house. ”

The maids hurriedly prepared a bucket and water for her to bathe.

After sprinkling the dried peach blossom slices into the water and pouring in some milk, Liu Mengyan went in with the support of Bitong.

Although you can also bathe like this in Uzi, Liu Mengyan didn't dare to wash like this, the water over there is too expensive.

"The princess has been gone for so long, and the slaves and maids are almost ready to wear it." Bitong said while holding a small scoop behind her and pouring water on her.

"What's going on in the house?" Liu Ruli asked.

"Nope. Every day is lived behind closed doors. However, the Yang family and the Guo family once came to inquire about the Li family. The slave and maid don't know anything. Bitong said.

"Didn't the prince already write a letter to the Queen Mother, saying that the Li family had lost his footing and drowned. They don't believe it? Liu Mengyan frowned.

"Anyway, the slave maid said that Concubine Li accidentally fell into the water and drowned." Bitong said, "Looking at what they mean, it seems that there is some conspiracy in the meantime, and maybe they think that the princess has done something to the Li family!" ”

"Look. The queen mother in the palace is likely to ask the teacher for her guilt! Liu Mengyan closed her eyes, put her head in Bitong's hand, and massaged it by her.

"It's obvious that she killed the princess!" Bitong said indignantly.

"You can't say this kind of thing, to say it is to directly slap the queen mother in the face. It seems that we have to think of a rhetoric! Liu Mengyan frowned and said, "Let Mother Gong come over later." ”

After Bitong and a few other maids took a bath for her, she picked out a home-style skirt to change into, and then began to wipe her hair with hair oil.

A moment later, Gong's mother came.

"Greetings to the princess!" She said respectfully behind Liu Mengyan.

"The prince has taken in a strange man outside, you go and clean up a separate courtyard for them, and then send four maids and a small servant to serve them. He took his mother with him and was not in good health. Liu Mengyan said, "The maids and maids sent should be absolutely clean, and their temperament should be dull." ”

"Yes." Gong's mother said.

"Mother Gong, do you have another question for you?" Liu Mengyan turned her head and said.

"Princess, please speak!" Gong's mother said.

"Today's Queen Mother, is there anyone in the palace who can't deal with her? Like, who does she like and who doesn't like? Liu Mengyan asked, "Concubine Li Shu accidentally slipped into the pond and drowned on the Zhuangzi. The Queen Mother will definitely be held accountable for this matter, and she has to prepare in advance. ”

The princess thought so. As far as the old slave knows, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother do not deal with each other. The second is Xuan Guifei. In fact, except for Chen Guifei, the Queen Mother doesn't like anyone. Gong's mother said.

"Yes. Chen Guifei is the uncle and niece of the Queen Mother. Liu Mengyan said, she naturally knows this, what she wants to know is whether there are any hidden secrets in the palace.

The old slave remembered something. That was eight years ago. At that time, the emperor favored a Lin Zhaoyi. This Lin Zhaoyi has a special temperament, and she doesn't know how to offend the Queen Mother. Later, Lin Zhaoyi died inexplicably. The emperor was furious about this. Although no one dared to say anything, everyone in the palace speculated that Lin Zhaoyi's death was related to the Queen Mother. Gong's mother said.

"Good. Mother Gong, you go and clean up the house for Mr. Hua and them. Send more men, be quick! Liu Mengyan said.

Gong's mother withdrew.

Liu Mengyan began to think about the meaning of her words just now. Eight years ago, he was just a child in the general horn, so naturally he would not know about this matter in the palace.

"Qiu Yun, you go to Liufu tomorrow to see your mother and Qingde. Send some of the things I brought back. Liu Mengyan simply put it down and said to Qiu Yun.

"Yes. The princess brought a lot of local products from the border city! Qiu Yun said.

"What the hell is the border city like, the slave didn't make it!" Bitong pouted.

"You don't want to go. The yellow sand was all over there, and the air was dry. The food is also different from what we eat here. Liu Mengyan smiled, "Where to go next time, I will definitely take you with me!" ”

"Originally, I brought Bitong, but you were inconvenient at the time, so I was asked to replace it." Jinxiu hurriedly said.

Bitong smiled.

"Jinxiu, you can send the things to Concubine Yang and Concubine Guo." Liu Mengyan said.

"The princess is really, what are you doing to bring them things?" Bitong Road.

"The face of the matter still has to be done." Liu Mengyan said, "After all, they are the people recommended by the Queen Mother!" ”

Liu Mengyan took a nap, and Tuoba Zeyan came over, kicked her shoes directly, and lay down beside her.

Liu Mengyan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Your Highness has been out for so long, aren't you in a hurry to dispose of the accumulated posts or something?" ”

"Anyway, this palace is an idle prince, and there is nothing too serious!" Tuoba Ze said, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to greet my father, the queen mother and the queen, and naturally the mother will also go to see it!" ”

"yes, yes. So the concubine plans to spend a day in bed today, rest her spirits, and go to the palace tomorrow to deal with it! Liu Mengyan said.

"It's troublesome enough, too. You have to deal with a bunch of people every time! Thank you for your hard work for my Yan'er! Tuoba Zeyan blew in her ear.

"Tickle!" Liu Mengyan chuckled, "Even in ordinary people's homes, they have to deal with their parents-in-law, as well as the three aunts and six mothers-in-law!" ”

"If you don't want to deal with it, it seems that you can only sit on the throne of the queen!" Tuoba Zeyan supported his head with one hand and squinted at the Baizi gourd on the mosquito net.

"Your Highness...... How can such a thing be said? Liu Mengyan reached out and stroked the back of his hand and clasped it with her fingers.

"Anyway, only Yan'er can hear it!" Tuoba Ze said, "After passing through the Uzi country, I am afraid that King Xian will hate this hall. If you don't fight, you will be a slasher and I will be a fish in the future! ”

"Your Highness has married a concubine, but I'm afraid that I am destined not to be an idle prince! Has Your Highness ever regretted it......" Liu Mengyan couldn't help but say.

"This temple is simply grateful to God for letting this temple ...... Married Yan'er in this life! Tuoba Zeyan said thoughtfully.

"In this life? However, it is not possible that His Royal Highness wants to marry a concubine in his last life? Liu Mengyan deliberately provoked in his words.

"Perhaps!" Tuoba Zeyan lowered his head, leaned close to her white and small ear, and couldn't help but kiss it.

After grinding their ears and temples for a while, they still didn't do anything, and still lay down together and talked.

"Lord Yue's order has gone down, and he will take office soon." Tuoba Ze said.

"Exactly. He left, and the concubine wanted to pick up her mother and Qingde to stay in the house for a while!" Liu Mengyan said, "It's been a long time since I've been to see my mother kissing them." ”

"The princess is so ruthless. He's your father? Tuoba Zeyan pretended to be surprised.

"But he doesn't look like a father, at least not like a concubine!" Liu Mengyan said coldly, "It's not like Qingde." As soon as he was born, he was said to be the broom star of Kefu! ”

"Then let Master Yue-in-law stay in the field, so as not to come back and be an eyesore?" Tuoba Zeyan held her hand and said.

"I'm afraid that some people are unwilling. But at least Qingde didn't need to see him for two years. My mother doesn't have to see him anymore. Liu Mengyan said.

"But what if my father-in-law has to bring my mother-in-law with me?" Tuoba Ze said.

"My mother won't go. As long as she refuses to go, and Qingde needs someone to take care of her, he will not insist. Liu Mengyan is sure of authenticity.

"The princess is so thoughtful!" Tuoba Zeyan said deliberately.

"What? Your Highness doesn't like it? Liu Mengyan squinted at him and said.

"Like, love! I just loved it! Tuoba Zeyan said with a smile, "When I go to the palace tomorrow, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will embarrass the princess!" ”

"The concubine is the concubine of His Royal Highness! A concubine has stumbled, at most I can't take care of Tuoba! Your Highness doesn't have to worry about concubines! Liu Mengyan didn't take it very seriously.

"The Queen Mother has always been vindictive. It's just a concubine, so I won't embarrass you too much! Tuoba Ze said.

"Your Highness, rest assured. The concubine can handle it. Liu Mengyan said.

The two slept until after noon before getting up to eat.

Liu Mengyan has a big appetite, she didn't eat well along the way, and her face is smaller than before.

"The princess has worked the road. Use more! Tuoba Ze said.

"Your Highness has also lost weight!" Liu Mengyan sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Tuoba Zeyan and sent it to his bowl.

When the maids saw them feeding each other, they all pursed their lips and bowed their heads and smiled.
