Early the next morning, Changsun Tai asked Zhiying to wake up, freshen up and dress up, and escort him to the main courtyard.

It is indeed an escort. On the way to the main courtyard, Zhiying wanted to go to the thatched house, but her pace was only half a beat slower, and the maid next to her immediately reached out to grab her arm, for fear that she would escape.

"Presumptuous!" Zhiying scolded angrily, raised his hand and gave the maid a slap, the maid was still not convinced, as if she wanted to talk back, Zhiying backhanded another slap, the maid was finally frightened and didn't dare to touch her again.

Holding Ying copied her arm, coldly glanced at the four or five maids around her, and said, "Who do you think I am?" Don't think that you can use chicken feathers as an arrow, who dares to touch me again, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

She had never seen these maids before, presumably they were a group of subordinates who changed at home after leaving the cabinet, most of them only had the old lady in their eyes, relying on the young master to be the queen, and she didn't put her as a side concubine of the hostile camp in her eyes at all, otherwise she would never dare to do anything to her if she was the original subordinate of the house.

When he arrived in the hall of the main courtyard, Changsun Tai sat in the Taishi chair on the right, and when he saw her coming, he asked with a tiger face, "Why is it so late?" Useless minions, they can't serve people! ”

"The eldest grandson is so majestic," said Zhi Ying, stepping into the door, "As the ruler of the country, I will not take this princess in my eyes." ”

Eldest Sun Tai blew his beard and glared: "This is the Eldest Sun Mansion, I only saw my daughter Eldest Sun Zhiying, and I never knew what the princess was." ”

Holding Ying snorted and smiled, looking at the lady in gorgeous clothes sitting on the left - the green gold hairpin in the morning hair, the red brocade robe flying phoenix pattern, who is not the current queen and her own sister eldest grandson Lingfang.

I haven't seen her for a year, and the eldest grandson Lingfang seems to have become a lot more mature, and the eyes that meet her are no longer delicate and shy, but a little more calm and calm, although her face is still immature, but she already looks like a young queen. Recalling that he was in the mirror at the beginning, he was also this young and dignified appearance, and his heart was full of emotion for a while.

"Sister." The eldest grandson Lingfang called her, and Zhiying nodded, even if she had said hello, but the palace maid beside the eldest grandson Lingfang was not happy: "Eldest grandson, the person in front of you is the queen, don't kneel down and say goodbye!" ”

Zhi Ying replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This is the eldest grandson's mansion, I only saw my sister eldest grandson Lingfang, and I never knew what the queen was." The palace maid "you" and wanted to step forward to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by the eldest grandson Lingfang.

The eldest grandson Lingfang said softly: "Sister is right, there is only our own family here, let's put aside the etiquette in the palace for the time being, you all go out, Yayi, you also go out." The palace maid still listened to her, and without saying a word, she led the palace maids and maids in the house to retreat.

Fan was not there, and Zhiying guessed that most of her father was afraid that she would be soft-hearted and help intercede, but he dismantled his own stage, so he deliberately did not let her come to see her, which was not surprising, so he didn't ask.

"Ying'er, you've been there for more than a year." Eldest Sun Tai spoke.

"A year and a half." Profit correction.

Eldest Sun Tai nodded, and didn't care about her rudeness: "How does King Wu treat you, Yanzhou is remote, inaccessible, and food is scarce, so life is not easy, right?" ”

Standing in front of the hall with Yinglong's hand, he smiled and said: "The prince treats me very well, everything goes with me, he spoils me everywhere, and he also loves Xian'er, although Yanzhou is desolate, it is not a problem to eat and dress warmly, compared to the past in the capital, it is much more free and comfortable." ”

The eldest grandson Tai snorted, obviously not believing it, but when she was reckless, he said: "Since Yanzhou is so good, why did you come back, King Wu is not with you, the first emperor died, and he didn't come back as a concubine to help the spirit and guard filial piety......"

"Lord Eldest Sun, don't be unbelievable," Zhi Ying interrupted him lightly, "Don't come back and don't come back, literally just upside down, but this meaning is very different, although I was not in Ganzhou at that time, but I also knew that the first emperor just left, the emperor issued a holy decree, the prince will be sent to Yanzhou to take office, the same day to leave, you say that the prince will not come back, or not come back?" ”

Changsun Tai was choked by her, his face was dull, and he was a little annoyed and angry: "You are sharp and can speak." ”

Holding a smile kindly: "Thanks to the good teaching of the eldest grandson back then." ”

The eldest grandson Lingfang also said leisurely at this time: "Sister, how is Xian'er, may she be stable, can she speak?" ”

Women have an innate motherhood, and when it comes to their children, they always unconsciously gentle, and Zhiying nodded: "Xian'er has been able to walk steadily, and she will also call her father, call her mother, say a few short sentences, and occasionally look at me unhappy, and make a grimace to make me laugh." ”

Eldest Sun Lingfang listened with a smile, but Eldest Sun Tai glared at her unhappily, suddenly remembered what Cui Xiang had said, and realized that he shouldn't show off, so he closed his mouth.

"People say that only a woman who is a mother can this life be considered complete, now that I think about it, this is really the truth," the eldest grandson Lingfang still said softly, "It's a pity that my sister is blessed with a shallow fate, and she doesn't have this life." ”

Zhiying thought for a while, and decided to pretend not to know, and comforted her: "There is no such thing, you are still young, and there will be one in the future, not only will there be, but there will be many more, don't worry about this year and a half." ”

The eldest grandson, Ling Fang, looked at her intently, Zhi Ying couldn't read the meaning in her eyes, and was a little strange: "Ling Fang? What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? ”

The eldest grandson Lingfang's eyes flashed, and she pretended to be okay again, smiled hard, and said, "No, I just lost my mind for a while, and my sister came back alone?" I just heard that you came back this morning, and I thought that the prince was also with me, why didn't I see others? ”

Zhiying thought to herself, am I coming back, I was obviously kidnapped, if the prince is also with him, now I am afraid that the two of us have both gone to Huangquan, can we still talk to you here?

"The prince is also back together," when she said this, she clearly saw that the eyes of the two people in front of her lit up at the same time, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart, "It's just that halfway through, Yanzhou came with an urgent secret letter, and the prince went back after reading it, and asked me to visit the concubine's illness on his behalf." ”

Hearing that Cui Yi didn't come back, Changsun Tai couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, if it weren't for the mocking smile on the corner of Zhiying's mouth, most of them wouldn't have realized how out of shape he was. In order to save his image, the eldest grandson Tai diverted the topic: "Concubine Heqing suddenly fell seriously ill last night and died, and before that, King Jing, who had been serving in the palace, suddenly disappeared inexplicably, and the concubine's sudden serious illness may be related to this matter." ”

After saying this, Changsun Tai looked at his daughter with some expectation, hoping to get something out of her mouth, whether it was an excuse or a question, at least he could judge how much she had to do with this matter, and speculate whether Cui Yi really didn't come back.

It's a pity that Zhiying was only slightly surprised, and said "I see" and there was no follow-up, and Changsun Tai's wishful thinking was empty again.

The eldest grandson Lingfang muttered to herself: "Concubine Heqing passed away, and Prince Jing was nowhere to be found, it was really a trick, and it was really embarrassing." - The emperor wants to take care of the funeral affairs for the concubine again, and he has to send someone to find King Jing, and he won't be able to come back for a while, and I am very lonely in the palace alone every day, since my sister is back, why don't you go into the palace with me to sit down? ”

Zhiying was just about to say something to refuse, but the eldest grandson Lingfang said again: "Since my sister came back to visit the sick instead of the prince, I can't say that I can also kowtow to the first emperor and ask the queen mother for peace, but it's just right, what does my sister think?" ”

At this time, Zhiying finally understood, the big bunch of nonsense in front of her was just a formality, and the eldest grandson Lingfang came back today for only one purpose, that is, to lead her into the palace, even if she refused, it wouldn't change anything, and if she didn't make it, she would be escorted back to the palace like she was escorted back yesterday.

"What my sister said is that I should go and kowtow to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and then go to offer incense to the first emperor and the queen of filial piety." Since you can't dodge, then the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there is only one break into the tiger's den in Longtan, as long as Cui Yi buys time to persuade the Zhong family, everything will be easy to do later.

On the road from the main courtyard to the gate of the mansion, the group of maids still did not leave an inch, but they had kept a considerable distance from her very wisely, and Changsun Tai was still a little surprised, and specially selected a few fierce girls to be responsible for guarding, how to sleep like this.

The palace maid named Yayi opened the car door, helped the eldest grandson Lingfang to get into the car, and then about to close the door, the eldest grandson Lingfang said: "Sister also come in and sit, it's windy outside, don't freeze." Yayi had no choice but to hold Ying into the carriage again.

Closing the car door, it was finally the two sisters' world, and with the sound of horses' hooves and wheels as a cover, Zhiying asked bluntly: "What do you want to do with your father to bring me into the palace?" ”

The eldest grandson Lingfang said with a smile: "Look at what you said, sister, what do you mean to trick you into the palace, I am your own sister, will I still harm you?" ”

Holding Yingxin said that is not necessarily, the two statues in the family are still my own father and mother, and they are not less sold when it is time to sell me.

The eldest grandson Lingfang saw that she didn't believe it, so she said again: "I just miss my sister, the palace is a place like that, no one can rely on it, except for my sister, I really don't dare to tell anyone else what is in my heart, my sister should accompany me, just like before, okay?" ”

In the pavilion, the sisters often participate in the communication between the famous ladies in the capital, enjoy the flowers and tea, chant poems against each other, are the girls' boudoir fun, the eldest grandson Lingfang is cowardly by nature, often laughed at, met someone who laughed at their own, the next time they meet, they would rather avoid the side, and no one to talk, at this time Zhiying is more than to accompany her, someone came to greet, and all of them are to hold Ying to say a few words, and send people away.

My sister's dependence on herself, Zhiying is understood, but looking at Lingfang's changes over the past year, things don't seem to be so simple, I don't know if she deliberately wants to hide it, or if she is afraid that the wall has ears, since she is unwilling to say it at this time, it is useless to seduce herself, or go to the palace to make plans again.

The eldest grandson Lingfang took her sister into the palace under the name of "asking the Queen Mother for peace", but the carriage did not go to the Yanshou Palace, but went directly to the Yaohua Palace, and the lingering doubts in her heart became more and more intense, and asked her a few times when she would go to the Yanshou Palace to ask for peace, and the eldest grandson Lingfang used the excuse to postpone it, grinding her to visit everywhere, and brought out a lot of exquisite jewelry, let her choose a few lovely pieces, Zhiying shirked it, picked up a pair of bracelets at random, and the eldest grandson Lingfang had to put it on for her to be satisfied.

After such a delay, an afternoon has passed, seeing that the sky is piled up with burning clouds, and Zhiying's doubts have also climbed to the peak, my sister obviously doesn't want to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, so what is she going to do?
