Xi Lingyue's heart tingled, like a fish in her throat, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "I know you are for my good, but I don't care about other people's opinions, and you don't have to." ”

As if he didn't understand, Li Chengxuan turned his head to look at her, and a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

Xiling Yue suddenly wanted to laugh. In the past, they were so tacit that they could understand each other with just one look and one word, but now he has to pretend to be alienated and difficult to understand, which is too fake.

But after all, she was a girl with a thin face, and seeing that Li Chengxuan always avoided it, she had to give up for the time being, and said in frustration: "Forget it, let's go." ”

The two walked out of King Fu's Mansion one after the other, boarded their respective carriages, and were about to set off, when they met the carriage of the Eldest Princess's Mansion without admitting it.

"Father, why are you here?" Xiling Yuejian saw that Guo Jun was looking for it in person, and he got out of the car in surprise to ask.

Li Chengxuan also got out of the carriage and asked, "Brother-in-law, is there an accident in the house?" ”

"No, it was the concubine who sent someone to pass the word." Guo Yan looked at Xilingyue and then at Li Chengxuan, and whispered a few words to the latter.

Xilingyue was puzzled by the sidelines, but judging from Guo Yan's words and deeds, she knew that the matter must be very urgent, otherwise Guo Guifei would never send someone out of the palace to spread the word during the New Year's Festival.

Sure enough, Li Chengxuan's breath was suffocated after hearing this, and his eyebrows were tightly locked.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiling Yue became worried, "Could it be that something happened in the palace?" Or did the prince have an accident again? ”

Guo Yan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to mention it to his beloved daughter, and in the face of her beautiful and innocent face, he was really difficult to speak.

On the contrary, Li Chengxuan instantly calmed down and replied briefly: "It's okay." After that, he said to Guo Yan, "In that case, I won't send Yue'er back home, my brother-in-law will take her back." ”

Guo Yan sighed, nodded silently, turned to Xiling Yue and said, "Yue'er, come with me." ”

Xilingyue felt inexplicable, and before she could ask a question, she saw another carriage driving not far away, and it looked like it was from the palace.

Li Chengxuan and Guo Yan glanced at each other, but before there was any exchange, the carriage had already stopped in Fu

In front of the palace. I saw a eunuch in his twenties dressed as a close minister step out of the carriage and saluted respectfully to the three of them: "The lower official serves the province to give things to Qiu Shiliang, and I have seen Fu Wangye, Guo Yuma, and Xichuan County Lord." ”

Qiu Shiliang, twenty-seven years old, a native of Xunzhou, a eunuch, entered the East Palace to serve when the first emperor Shunzong was the crown prince, and took care of Li Chun, who was the emperor's eldest grandson at the time. Later, Li Chun became the prince of the prison country, and promoted the most favored Tutu Chengxuan to the provincial permanent servant and the governor of the province, and after ascending the throne the year before last, he appointed Tutu Chengxuan as the lieutenant of the Shence Army. After Tutu Chengguang was promoted, he took away a group of cronies of the Inner Servant Province. At the end of last year, Yang Wenhuai had another accident, implicating a group of small eunuchs, resulting in many vacancies in the Inner Chamberlain Province. Only then did Li Chun remember Qiu Shiliang's service, and at the end of last year, he was transferred to the Inner Service Province to do internal affairs, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Holy Lord wanted him to replace Tutu Chengxuan and Yang Wenhuai to take charge of the Inner Service Province.

Today, the prince favors the eunuchs, and everyone knows it, so Li Chengxuan and Guo Yan do not dare to snub Qiu Shiliang.

Li Chengxuan smiled and asked, "I don't know what the will of the palace is when I come to visit during the New Year's Festival?" ”

"It was His Majesty who summoned you and the county lord of Xichuan to the palace for questioning." Qiu Shiliang smiled harmlessly, "It's also a coincidence, they all met in your mansion, so that the lower officials can make one less trip." ”

Guo Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, and then smiled back: "In this case, I won't invite Qiu Nei to the mansion as a guest, so let's go?" ”

"Guo Juma stays," Qiu Shiliang raised his hand slightly, still smiling, "Your Majesty only summoned the prince and the county lord, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan entered the Daming Palace in a carriage. Along the way, the latter had a calm face, as if he was trapped in some kind of trouble, and Xilingyue asked twice, but there was no answer.

When they arrived outside the Daming Palace, the two changed their shoulders and entered the palace to face the saint. What made Xiling Yue feel strange was that on the way to Zichen Palace, she met a lot of small yellow doors, and all of them looked at her with strange eyes, or at Li Chengxuan.

She was puzzled and was thinking about the reason, when a pair of shoulders came into her sight. On the shoulder sat a gorgeously dressed palace concubine, who seemed to have just come out of the Zichen Palace, which was the opposite of her and Li Chengxuan's whereabouts.

Xilingyue didn't care about it originally, but when the palace concubine and Li Chengxuan's shoulders in front passed by, the two actually glanced at each other. They seem to know each other, but there is no communication.

This scene happened to be captured by Xilingyue, she immediately fell in love, and when the palace concubine's shoulder passed by, she deliberately looked at the other party's appearance, and couldn't help blurting out: "Wan Niang?!" ”

Zheng Wanniang's figure in the shoulder was stagnant, and she immediately signaled the palace people to stop and walked out. Xiling Yue also stepped down her shoulder and hurriedly glanced at her: "Wan Niang, how could it be you?" What are you...... Favored? ”

Zheng Wanniang lowered her head at the right time and replied a little shyly: "Yes, let the county lord smile." ”

Xiling Yue was a little surprised. I still remember that on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the Son of Heaven saw Zheng Wanniang for the first time in the Zichen Palace, and he did not show his intention to pamper her, and even sneered at her. Why did Zheng Wanniang accept her favor after only half a month? Could it be that the emperor couldn't let go of the prophecy of the "Mother of the Son of Heaven"? Xilingyue wanted to ask, but felt that the matter was too private to ask.

Fortunately, Zheng Wanniang took the initiative to mention: "I have to thank the county lord for this matter." When you were investigating the case of Ji Meiren in the palace, didn't you ask me to go to the Lizheng Hall to find Qiu Niang to climb the old? Later, Qiu Niang mentioned this matter in front of the saint and said that I had helped you, and the saint looked at me differently. ”

"I see!" Xiling Yuewaner, "Then you don't have to thank me, it's your own blessing." ”

"Naturally, I want to thank you, if it weren't for you and Guo Jungong recommending me to the palace, I wouldn't be where I am today." Zheng Wanniang hid her face at the right time and coughed lightly, and inadvertently lifted the corner of her cloak.

Xiling Yue immediately discovered that her cloak was a high-grade fox fur, which was by no means used by low-grade concubines, and couldn't help but wonder: "What grade did the Holy Lord seal you?" ”

Zheng Wanniang said modestly: "The canonization will has not yet come down, and now I am still the palace maid of the Hanxiang Palace." ”

Yes, I don't know if Guo Guifei will be unhappy? After all, Zheng Wanniang was recommended to the palace by herself and Guo Zhongting...... Thinking of this, Xilingyue made up her mind that she would go to the Hanxiang Hall after facing the saint.

At this time, Li Chengxuan had also stepped off his shoulders and paced over. When Zheng Wanniang saw him, her body shrank slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.

This is also human nature, after all, Zheng Wanniang still wanted to follow Li Chengxuan last year, and this time she became his brother's woman in a blink of an eye, which is indeed embarrassing. Xilingyue hurriedly opened her mouth to play a round game: "Lord Wang, Wanniang, she has been favored." ”

"Congratulations." Li Chengxuan's expression was faint and he didn't say a word.

Zheng Wanniang didn't seem to want to see him, so she quickly ended the topic and said with a smile: "Are the prince and the county lord going to face the saint?" It's not good to delay too long. ”
