In the end, Zhou Huan and Qi Yu still embarked on the steps of going to the palace together, but Qi Xuan did not follow as he wished.

Qi Xuan has been reluctant to come over since he returned to the capital a few days ago, and he has been reluctant to come over despite the emperor's grace summons, and it seems that there is really a secret hidden in it that cannot be touched.

"Qingqing?" Qi Yu was obviously aware of his own (shēn) other's distraction, so he stretched out his hand to question.

Zhou Huan smiled at Qi Yu and said: "(diàn), when you go down to the palace, you have to be obedient, and you can't do anything recklessly, okay?" ”

When he came out this morning, this was specially instructed by the housekeeper to Zhou Huan. It turned out that Qi Yu's temper was not as good as she imagined in front of outsiders, and the docile little sheep in front of her was a fierce little demon king in front of others.

Qi Yu deliberately blinked his puzzled eyes, and after pretending to think for a while, he still nodded in Zhou Huan's expectant eyes.

"Everything is up to Qingqing."

Zhou Huan breathed a sigh of relief, to put it bluntly, she was just afraid of getting into trouble, in the past, Qi Yu was the son of the emperor and queen no matter how much she messed around, but now if she continues to make trouble, if she makes others think otherwise, won't it be counted on her (shēn).

"Look, the clothes are all wrinkled."

Zhou Huanxin (qíng) was very good, and took the initiative to reach out to Qi Yu to sort out the clothes next to him (shēn), during which she and Qi Yu almost came face to face several times because of the bumps in the carriage.

And all this, Zhou Huan didn't notice it later, but Qi Yu was enjoying it.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the palace.

In the final analysis, Zhou Huan has not been to the palace a few times, even if it is counted in the past and present lives. However, there is one thing that is a total (xìng), and that is that she has never met the emperor.

"(diàn)下?" Zhou Huan's brain was spinning rapidly, and then he still asked uneasily: "You say, is it not easy for the emperor to get along there?" ”

As she walked, she tugged on Qi Yu's sleeve, who let Qi Yu come all the way and not be very obedient.

He almost ran wherever there was trouble, and Zhou Huan couldn't stop him.

"Forget it, how do you know?" Zhou Huan sighed, only to realize that what he said would not make Qi Yu understand at all. "However, the emperor and the queen should not hate me very much, otherwise what would they do if they marry me to you."

Yes, exactly.

Zhou Huan thought about it, and finally felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. Because of this, when she turned her head to look at the vermilion walls around her, she actually felt a little more festive in her heart.

The spontaneous sense of oppression is much less.

At this hour, the emperor should still be in the early dynasty, so Qi Yu and Zhou Huan took the lead in going to the queen's side under the leadership of the palace people.

Queen Jiang's bedroom is the most central position in the harem, and it is also the most magnificent decoration in the entire harem. In this way, it is really possible to see the status of the Jiang family in the emperor's heart.

In his previous life, Zhou Huan remembered that shortly before he got married, the queen was seriously ill, and at that time, the marriage was largely to give the queen joy. And now?

"Qingqing, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Suddenly, a nice voice dragged Zhou Huan into reality, Zhou Huan raised his head, and sure enough, it was Qi Yu's wet and serious eyes.

For some reason, when she heard the word protection from Qi Yu's mouth, her heart was more moved.

"(diàn) Your Majesty, Princess, the Queen Mother invites you over."

The grandmother who came out of the curtain walked over quickly, and after saluting the two, she hurriedly turned (shēn) to lead the way for the two people.

In the warm room, the empress (shēn) looked at the person in front of her with a gentle smile on her face, dressed in a moon-white dress.

"Come and sit down." Empress Jiang smiled and spoke.

Qi Yu nodded stunnedly, and sat down without even saluting. And Zhou Huan smiled awkwardly, and then saluted obediently to Queen Jiang.

"The queen mother Wan'an."

Jiang pursed his lips and smiled: "This child, why is he still the queen's mother?" ”

Zhou Huan's face turned red, and it seemed that what she said was the same, and she seemed to have changed her words. However, looking at the palace lady in front of her, and then at Qi Yu, why is this a little embarrassing (qíng).

"Qingqing?" Qi Yu hurriedly came over from his seat, looking like he wanted to protect Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that Qi Yu was not helping himself, but harming himself.

In the next second, Zhou Huan decisively knelt down and kowtowed to the queen. "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

The smile on Jiang's face was the same as always, but in the end, there was a little more emotion in his eyes, and a little more real.

In the end, it was his own son, so he handed it over to others, and in the final analysis, he should be reluctant to give it up. Zhou Huan thought of his mother, if she was still alive, would she be like the queen?

"The emperor has arrived."

Suddenly, there was a shrill eunuch voice at the door, and then a bright (shēn) shadow appeared.

Empress Jiang immediately rose up (shēn), while Qi Yu pulled Zhou Huan to stand aside. "Son-in-law, see father."

This time, Zhou Huan was not as embarrassed as Fang Cai.

"You are the princess of the King of Chu, Zhou Huan?" The Emperor's deep voice sounded, but this voice was more indifferent.

At this time, Zhou Huan didn't know that at the marriage ceremony between him and Qi Yu yesterday, the emperor and the empress did not attend.

Zhou Huan said in a deep voice: "Father Qi, the son is Zhou Huan, the daughter of the Zhou family. ”

"Look up."

As he saw his footsteps go away, Zhou Huan heard the emperor's orders again. She looked up and saw the Emperor sitting upright in a chair not far in front of her.

The man in front of him looked a little vicissitudes, and the sideburns in his ears were gray, which surprised Zhou Huan, after all, in her impression, the emperor seemed to be about the same age as Zhou Shenyuan.

And her father obviously looked much younger than the emperor.

"(diàn) down, be careful."

While Zhou Huan was looking at the emperor, his eyes were also secretly looking at Qi Yu next to him (shēn).

She always felt that since she was married to Qi Yu, it was necessary to take good care of him.

At this moment, Zhou Huan couldn't care about kneeling here, and hurriedly got up (shēn) to protect Qi Yu. Because of this, the boiling water (rè) was not poured on Qi Yu's (shēn).

The girl who had just served the water was already frightened and overwhelmed, and she didn't even dare to move more, so she knelt on the ground and trembled there.

"Stupid girl, come on, don't drag it out."

Jiang Shi hurriedly opened his mouth for someone to deal with, but Zhou Huan lowered his head and did not speak, his eyes were still gentle. It was Qi Yu, but his eyes were a lot scarlet all of a sudden.

His gaze was firmly fixed on the arm that Zhou Huan was hiding behind (shēn), and the hot water poured on her arm, flushed red, and even began to blister.

"Qingqing, I'll take you to the doctor."

Seeing that Qi Yu was about to pull Zhou Huan away, Empress Jiang just wanted to speak, but was signaled by the emperor, who had been silent, with a look.

After looking at the backs of the two people in the distance, Queen Jiang shook her head and smiled, "Your Majesty, what's the trouble?" ”

That girl has followed her for so many years, she is not such a careless person at all, just now she fell, someone must have done something.

Those who can hide their thoughts in front of the Son of Heaven will have no one else except the Son of Heaven.

The emperor pursed his lips and smiled, but the indifference in his eyes was much less. "That's our son, I'll have to find a good girl for him."

Empress Jiang nodded and didn't speak again, she had already heard the emperor's satisfaction from the emperor's words, and it seemed that the emperor was also satisfied with Zhou Huan, the princess of Chu.

Thinking of this, the empress put the (rè) tea that Fang Cai Zhou Huan brought to herself in front of the emperor. "This is the tea served by that child, the emperor should take a sip."

The emperor suddenly raised his eyelids, glanced at the palace with a gentle smile in front of him, nodded, and took the tea.

……

On the other side, after Qi Yu left, he kept staring at Zhou Huan with burning eyes, but he was reluctant to speak.

However, she could see all the anger and worry in Qi Yu's eyes. Fang Cai's matter (qíng) was too sudden, so Zhou Huan didn't have time to think about it.

Zhou Huan felt a little strange, she pursed her lips and smiled at Qi Yu and said, "(diàn), I'm fine." ”

After that, Zhou Huan also endured the pain in his wrist and said to Qi Yu: "Really, it only hurts a little bit." ”

Zhou Huan also deliberately shook his hand, trying to make Qi Yu not worry so much. But who knows, Qi Yu kept his head down and didn't speak.

Finally, he pulled Zhou Huan to a gazebo closest to the Tai Hospital and stopped, and said to Zhou Huan, "I'll go find Chu Xingchen." ”

Zhou Huan didn't know why Qi Yu's (qíng) Xu was suddenly like this, but he also knew that he couldn't compete with him anymore, so he nodded obediently and waited.

Who knows, not long after Qi Yu left, Zhou Huan met another uninvited guest.

"This is Princess Chu." A pretty female voice sounded, and then appeared in front of Zhou Huan with brisk steps.

Zhou Huan looked at a (shēn) blue-colored woman in front of her, with red lips and white teeth, but she was also a stunning beauty. However, Zhou Huan always felt that this person should have seen it himself.

It was the first time she had such a blurred face on a person, and not confident.

"You are?"

The woman hid her face and smiled, but the girl who followed (shēn) said in an accentuated tone: "Princess, this is Concubine Xie." ”

Xie Guifei?

Zhou Huan then remembered the woman he hadn't seen the last time he came here.

Unexpectedly, the beautifully dressed woman in front of her was actually the famous Concubine Xie in the harem.

In more folk rumors, this Xie Guifei is an accident between the emperor and the empress, that is to say, the appearance of Xie Guifei took away the emperor's favor (ài) for Empress Jiang.

At the last winter solstice banquet, others only thought that the emperor was busy and Concubine Xie was sick, but they didn't know that the emperor was busy accompanying Concubine Xie.
