In Yaohua Palace, the queen and the emperor are there, and after the death of Queen Xiaolian, Cui Jie's biological mother, the mother of the former Concubine Rong, was crowned the queen at the same time as Cui Jie's canonization as the crown prince.

For the son left by the predecessor, the second prince Cui Yi, the new queen neither excluded nor suppressed her, nor did she show special care, just like the other princes, she accepted them respectfully bowing and greeting with a smile, and accepted the title of "queen mother".

Cui Yi let go of Zhiying's hand, took a step forward, and knelt down: "The son knocks to see the father and the emperor, the queen mother, and the concubine." Zhiying also knelt down: "Slave Zhiying, please give peace to the emperor, the queen's mother, and ask for peace to Concubine Duan." ”

Cui Yi frowned and turned his head sideways - what are you talking nonsense?

Zhiying glanced back - what was wrong, I was originally a concubine, your maid.

Cui Yi turned his head angrily, not wanting to deal with her anymore.

On the high throne, Emperor Jianyuan was very happy and waved his hand: "Get up, Ren Yu married the crown princess, and Ying Rong has someone around to take care of him, and my heart is again, good, good!" ”

The queen also nodded with a smile: "The eldest grandson is knowledgeable and noble, and the daughter he taught is really gentle and graceful, knowledgeable, and likable when he looks at it." ”

Zhiying owes a debt: "Queen Xie praises." ”

Emperor Jianyuan beckoned: "Zhiying, come here, come closer, let me and the queen take a closer look." ”

Zhiying stepped forward, the queen took her hand, took a closer look, and nodded with a smile: "This appearance and temperament are also first-class, elegant and atmospheric, not worse than the crown princess." Can you still get used to it in the palace? ”

"Back to the queen's mother, since the slave and maid are already the prince's people, the place where the prince is is the slave's home, and since it is in his own home, how can he not get used to it?"

This is the answer that Cui Jie's personal mother specially taught her after she was elected as the crown princess, and the queen heard the exact same answer from her mouth as the crown princess, and while appreciating it, she couldn't help but sigh a little, the same girl from the eldest grandson's family, the sister is the elder sister, and she talks calmly, and she can't see that it is the first time to face the saint.

Recalling that when the eldest grandson of the crown princess, Lingfang, came to Yaohua Palace to serve tea on the second day of her wedding, she was trembling and timid, and the queen was a little unhappy in her heart - why did her son marry a daughter, but he was not as dignified as King Wu picking up the rest?

Fortunately, the eldest grandson Lingfang was clean, and she could barely win back a city, the queen thought comfortingly.

Emperor Jianyuan looked at her with a smile and said: "Empress Xiaopian went early, Ying Rong has been relatively withdrawn since he was a child, and his temper is also a little irritable, if he bullies you in the future, you should be more responsible, don't be angry with him, okay?" ”

Zhiying turned around and saluted him: "Emperor Xie cares, the prince is very good to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will definitely serve the prince with all their heart." ”

She behaved steadily and talked decently, so that Emperor Jianyuan and the queen were impeccable, after chatting a few words, it was almost lunch time, the queen wanted to leave them for lunch, but Emperor Jianyuan said that it was better to let them follow Concubine Duan to her for lunch, so as not to be uncomfortable at the table, not full, the queen has no reason, so Concubine Duan got up to say goodbye, and left Yaohua Palace with two juniors.

Duanfei Ye is the cousin of Queen Xiaopiao, Cui Yi lost his mother at an early age, Duanfei took care of him as his own son, although Cui Yi is not good at showing emotions, but the feelings for his adoptive mother are very deep, and then Duanfei passed away, he knelt in Songya Palace for three days and three nights, and finally was carried out.

In Yaohua Palace, Concubine Duan has not spoken, of course, she has no part to speak, she is the same as Cui Yi and Zhiying, she just went to ask the queen for peace.

Concubine Duan is in her early forties this year, and there are already fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and after leaving Yaohua Palace, she took Cui Yi's hand and sighed with satisfaction: "After so many years, you are willing to get married, and my sister Quanxia knows and can rest assured." ”

Cui Yimu didn't speak, but Zhiying caught a trace of strangeness - the eldest Chu boy was not married in his twenties, and his parents were derelict in their duties, although the prince Cui Jie did not choose the crown princess for a long time, but the concubine has not been broken since he was sixteen years old, his identity is special, and it is understandable that the emperor and the queen strive to be cautious, but Cui Yi is over twenty-four years old, and he doesn't even have a concubine by his side, which is really strange, Zhiying originally thought that the queen was playing ghosts, and deliberately dragged him not to get married, so as not to make it difficult for Cui Yi and his wife to deal with it after their family is big. But I didn't expect that Cui Yi was unwilling to get married, why is this?

Concubine Duan came to hold Ying's hand again, folded her and Cui Yi's hands together, and said to Zhiying: "Yi'er is too stubborn, sometimes she doesn't even listen to my mother's words, don't get used to him too much in the future, ah?" ”

Zhiying held back a smile, secretly looked at Cui Yi's face, which was no different from eggplant, and said: "Yes, Zhiying knows the measure, please rest assured." ”

The three of them were about to get into the carriage and return to Songya Palace, when they heard a brisk voice not far away: "Say hello to Concubine Duan." ”

Cui Yi's brows furrowed suddenly, a cold light appeared in his eyes, as ruthless as a wolf, and then quickly hidden, still looking paralyzed, and turned around.

This fleeting unhappiness did not escape Zhiying's eyes, and she was slightly surprised in her heart - in fact, until last night, she didn't know that Cui Yi and Cui Jie had been like fire and water so many years ago, when she was still the crown princess, she had seen King Wu a few times, Cui Yi was expressionless without exception, and she couldn't see joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, let alone any difference between likes and dislikes.

Not to mention Cui Jie, he is always humble and polite in front of people, never showing any negative emotions, and only those who have been rectified by him know what kind of vicious heart is hidden behind his kindness. In a word, it is the heart of a man and a beast.

Cui Jie walked over from a distance, followed by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, and at first glance he came to greet the queen.

Zhiying took a breath and silently watched him walk this way.

is still that gentle and elegant smile, or that unhurried pace, Zhilan Yushu, handsome and extraordinary, with a prince's robe, the whole person is full of spirit, shining like gold.

The person he had been obsessed with in the past, the person who regarded it as the whole meaning of life, after he had attained nirvana in that merciless fire, was as terrible as the flesh-and-blood cannibal ghost in the Shura Hell, and his hypocritical smile was terrifying and hateful, and as he approached step by step, the clenched fists in his sleeves couldn't help but tremble.

Suddenly, there was a heat on the back of her hand, Cui Yi quietly wrapped her hand, and then broke her fingers one by one and held them in her hand.

The palm of the hand that holds the gun all the year round is full of calluses, hot and hot, and Zhiying inexplicably settles down, and more clearly feels the message of this hand in silence than when he entered the palace - with me, there is nothing to fear.

Cui Jie had already walked in front of him, and when he saw them holding hands, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he seemed to find it difficult to be funny, and he also glanced back at the crown princess who was following behind him.

The eldest grandson Lingfang was dressed in a beautiful water-red palace dress, and her hair was full of golden hairpins, shining step by step, which was really beautiful and moving. However, the moment she saw Zhiying, her expression was so stiff that she couldn't even smile, she should have saluted Concubine Duan, but she was reminded a few times by Mama before she opened her mouth in a panic: "Please say hello to Duan, Concubine Duan!" ”

Holding Ying folded his hands and owed a debt: "Say hello to the crown prince and the crown princess." ”

Judgment from above.

Cui Jie smiled and arched his hand: "Concubine Duan, this is also just for the queen mother, please come out, right?" Then I won't delay my mother, my mother, please. ”

Concubine Duan silently returned the salute, and Cui Yi and Zhiying helped them into the carriage together.

Cui Jie looked at Zhiying playfully, as if he was thinking about what to say, but before he could think about it, Cui Yi said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please." ”

Cui Jie smiled and said: "Miss Zhiying was born 'beautiful like a flower', and the second brother is not shallow." ”

Cui Yi replied expressionlessly: "Your Highness has won the award." ”

A punch on the cotton, but it was over, Cui Jie had nothing else to say, so he had to lead the princess into Yaohua Palace to ask for peace, and when he left, he glanced at Zhiying who was standing behind Cui Yi meaningfully, and he didn't know what he was thinking. In this regard, Zhiying can only look at the nose and nose, and pretend not to know.

After having lunch at Songya Palace, the carriage of King Wu's Mansion drove out of the Forbidden Garden of the Palace and returned to the mansion.

Cui Yi put his hands on his knees and asked indifferently, "How do you feel when you see it?" ”

Holding a question mark: "What?" ”

"Prince," Cui Yi knocked his fingers on his knees expressionlessly, "Didn't you keep shouting that you wanted to marry the prince, and you also threw this king in the face of wine?" ”

suddenly understood that what he was talking about when he was in the carved building, the corners of Zhiying's mouth twitched, and a sense of shame arose from the bottom of his heart - he really wanted to marry that kind of person because he was really blinded by lard! But the words have already been said, and it is difficult to collect the water, so I have to play haha and pretend to be stupid: "Ah...... Is it? I...... I must have drunk too much at the time, and if I drank too much, I would inevitably talk nonsense, how could I take nonsense seriously? ”

Cui Yi glanced over: "Really? ”

Zhiying nodded repeatedly. There is no way to know what he thought at that time, but if the pimple of "my woman has actually been thinking about other men in her heart" is stuck in Cui Yi's heart, then no matter what she does next, she will definitely be regarded as having ulterior motives, which is absolutely not good!

"Of course it's true, what is the prince, a despicable villain who can only play tricks, hide a knife in his smile, a honey-bellied sword, be insidious and cunning, cross the river and tear down the bridge, how can he compare to the prince's integrity, frankness and heroism, I definitely drank too much at the time to say such stupid things." All in all, first smooth out the hair of the future backer, and there is no need to wait for a high hat or something at this time.

Cui Yi said "um", there was still no expression on his face, and after observing for a long time, he couldn't deduce whether he was angry or not.

After worrying all the way back to the palace, Cui Yi took her out of the carriage and entered the courtyard together, saying: "Since you are not forced to be helpless, you must be obedient in the future, do what you should do, and this king will never let you down." ”

Zhiying thought about it, the crown princess herself did it, it was nothing more than managing the concubines in the East Palace, supervising everyone to spread out for the royal family, controlling the monthly expenses by the way, and regularly going to the queen to ask for peace, all of which have a fixed pattern; The prince's concubine has never done it, there is no other woman in the Wuwang Mansion, and there is no mother-in-law who needs to ask for peace every day, so what should I do?

So he was ashamed to ask: "Dare to ask the prince, what should the concubine do?" ”

A green tendon jumped on Cui Yi's forehead: "Do you want this king to teach you?" ”

Zhiying is extremely innocent: "This ...... The concubine is married for the first time and has no experience......"

Cui Yi opened her mouth and found that she didn't know what she should do, so she had to wave her hand indiscriminately with black lines on her head: "Do what you like!" This king is still going to train his troops, hold my armor! The maids hurriedly complied.

Zhiying secretly stuck out her tongue, it seems that this virtuous road to help still has to explore by yourself.
