"Don't be busy asking the imperial doctor, let the slave maid check for the princess first." Mama said, squatted down in front of Zhiying, touched her ankle with her right hand, and then pinched it hard, Zhiying suddenly screamed in pain. Mama said: "The princess is not too badly twisted, and the slave maid will be fine if she pinches the princess a few times." ”

Joke! really let her take care of it, her ankle bone must be broken! It's a get-out plan, and when you see it, you can quickly collect it, otherwise you have to lose it into one leg, Zhiying thought to herself, and hurriedly pushed her hand away: "No, no, no, I suddenly feel better, it doesn't hurt too much, Mama is really a good craft, and it will cure me at once." ”

Then he hurriedly stood up with Xiaoqiu's hand, for fear that Mama would not let go of herself and would come again.

The leader of the guards asked uneasily, "Are you really okay?" ”

Zhiying nodded again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a slight sprain, I'll go back." ”

The leader said, "Let's give you a ride, little ones." ”

It's really good to have someone escort it, so Cui Jie still has a back hand, waiting for her to return halfway before making a black hand, Zhiying hurriedly agreed: "Then there will be labor." ”

Just as he was leaving, he saw that Mama was still standing in place, and he could see that expression in the dark, it was completely irritable that his plan had failed.

"Oh yes, this aunt, thank you so much just now," Zhiying was pinched by her, how could this revenge not be repaid, so she said, "The crown princess and I are sisters, and I will definitely let her reward you well when I turn around." ”

Mama grimaced and replied stiffly, "Thank you, Princess." ”

In front of the guards, Zhiying exposed her origin, and didn't say why she met her, and then if tonight's matter was brought up again, there would be a witness, and the queen would not dare to use the brains of the child in her belly.

I wanted to take advantage of the New Year's banquet to talk to my sister, but it seems that it won't work now.

Back in the stands, Cui Yi saw her limping back, and her eyes suddenly bulged: "What's wrong with your feet?" ”

"Shhhh Pretend, keep quiet. Zhiying sat down in his seat, pretending to really go to the thatched house, and came back to continue watching the play.

Although Cui Yi was puzzled, he was surrounded by people, and it was difficult to ask, so he could only press his emotions and wait patiently for the play to finish.

After watching the play, the queen said that according to the custom, she would leave the princes and princesses in the palace for the night and accompany the emperor to keep vigil together.

Cui Yi is not happy now, let Zhiying get up early on a cold day to be busy, kowtow and drink, he is already worried enough, and now he wants her to stay up all night until tomorrow morning, this is definitely not good! So when everyone, including Concubine Duan, unanimously agreed, he said categorically: "We won't stay." ”

Concubine Duan said reproachfully: "Everyone stays in the palace, what's the matter with the two of you going back?" You are not in the royal capital all the year round, and it is rare to have the opportunity to celebrate the New Year with your father, how can you just go back? Don't lose your interest. ”

Cui Yi was already a little angry about Xie Yuchan at the previous New Year's banquet, if it weren't for her nurturing grace, I really don't know what ugly words would be said. Fortunately, he also knew how to be polite to his elders, and said: "Since I was not there in previous years, there is no difference between me and me this year, and I am tired, so I will accompany her back to rest." ”

Concubine Duan still didn't give up and persuaded them to stay: "It's the same to rest in the palace, clean up the Hanfu Palace where you used to live, and let Zhiying rest first, or if you don't feel at ease, I will ask Langyue to follow and serve." The New Year pays attention to a reunion, and without you, your father is not happy. ”

Cui Yi had a calm face, and seemed to be unable to figure it out again, why did Concubine Duan help the queen talk again, the two of them didn't deal with it much before, what's wrong today?

"That's it, queen, you ask someone to clean up the places where they lived before, and give priority to Hanfu Palace," Emperor Jianyuan, as the head of the family, has absolute decision-making power at this time, so he spoke, "Concubine Duan, you send two of the maids in your palace to take care of them, if Ying Rong is not at ease, he will send people over, and then return to Qingchun Hall when Zhiying sleeps." ”

The queen and Concubine Duan immediately agreed, and respectively turned their heads and instructed the maid and eunuch to do errands, and the aunt in charge of Songya Palace, Lang Yue, walked to Zhiying's side: "Princess, please come with the slave maid." ”

"Eh......" Cui Yi was about to follow, and Zhiying waved his hand: "The prince doesn't need to send it, it's better to accompany the emperor to the Qingchun Palace to keep the New Year, the people in the Duanfei Niangniang Palace are waiting, what else is the prince not worried about?" ”

Concubine Duan nodded again and again, but Cui Yi seemed to smell something wrong from her words, but if she wanted to say it carefully, she couldn't tell what was wrong, but Emperor Jianyuan had already given an order, and he could only obey as a son, so he no longer insisted, the corners of his mouth turned downward, and he followed Emperor Jianyuan in another direction.

Lang Yue led Zhiying and Xiaoqiu around a courtyard, and there was a carriage waiting, and it could be seen that it had been prepared a long time ago.

There is quite a distance from the opera garden to Songya Palace, and after getting into the carriage, Zhiying saw that Langyue did not plan to enter the carriage, so she took the initiative to greet: "Aunt Rongyue come in and sit, it's cold outside, don't freeze your body." ”

Lang Yue smiled faintly and thanked her, and said, "No, it's not good to squeeze the princess, just sit outside." ”

If you can squeeze it, there will be ghosts, Zhiying thought to herself, even if you stuff another Cui Yi into this carriage, she can't squeeze herself, let alone a grandmother, so she won't turn around the corner, and said bluntly: "Zhiying has a few questions I want to ask my aunt, or my aunt has already got the gag order of Concubine Duan, and she is not allowed to say anything to me?" ”

Lang Yue had no choice but to sit in the carriage, close the door tightly, turn the fire in the charcoal basin again, and ask, "What does the princess want to ask?" ”

Zhiying looked at her calmly: "When did Miss Xie come to the palace?" ”

Lang Yue was dumbfounded, and didn't know how to answer, Zhiying said again: "When I arrive at Songya Palace in a while, what is waiting for me is the refreshments that have been ordered, or the punches and kicks of Miss Xie?" My aunt is affected, and she has to bear the charge of poor care for her mother, and she will be punished by kneeling with her palms and mouth, or beaten with a cane, but the people around her are so used. ”

Lang Yue's face was red and white for a while, and she said for a long time: "The princess is too careful, Niangniang has no malicious intentions, she just hopes that the prince can accompany the emperor more and do her filial piety." ”

"Do your filial piety, and then what?" Zhiying laughed, "Will the emperor change his mind and change the prince as the emperor's heir?" Miss Xie will marry the prince again, she will be the queen and the queen mother in the future, the Xie family has become the Yue family of the Great Chu Emperor, and the chicken dog will ascend to heaven, but what can Concubine Duanniang get? Niangniang is neither the biological mother of the prince, nor is she surnamed Xie, even if the prince becomes the emperor, the benefits are not hers, at most it is to build a beautiful temple, so that Niangniang can go to the Qing Dynasty in a beautiful manner. ”

Lang Yue stopped talking, and Zhiying thought that she had guessed correctly, so she sighed and said to her: "Persuade Niangniang to think about it, what is the purpose of making wedding dresses for others so actively?" ”

The three people in the carriage in the second half of the road did not speak, and after Zhiying entered the Songya Palace, she didn't see Xie Yuchan, so she knew that Concubine Duan must have arranged for her to appear in the Qingchun Palace, and she happened to come back to rest, so she could make up for the emptiness around Cui Yi, even if someone wanted to pick on the thorns, they still had a cousin relationship there, and it would not be painful.

I hope Cui Yi will not beat women in front of his father and brothers, hold his hands together, and pray silently.

Since he said everything straight to the point in the car, when the tea was served, Zhiying drank it with confidence.

If it was she who was nervous originally, the person who was nervous now should be the moon, in case she had a big or small mistake, no matter who was behind the scenes, she was responsible.

After resting in Songya Palace for half an hour, someone from Hanfu Palace reported that it had been cleaned up and asked the princess to go over and rest.

Lang Yue put the person in the carriage and said with emotion: "The princess can see it so clearly, it's no wonder that the prince likes you, but in this palace, who doesn't do everything possible for his own sake, trying to climb higher, or at least have a branch that can stand firm, and the slave and maid can't help themselves." ”

"I know it's not easy for everyone." Zhiying smiled at her soothingly, and got into the carriage with Xiaoqiu's support.

When the carriage arrived at Hanfu Palace, when the door opened, there was no moon in sight, and Zhiying finally understood the meaning of what she had just said.

Because the eldest grandson of the crown princess, Lingfang, was standing on the steps in front of the Hanfu Palace.

Xiaoqiu was a little confused: "The crown princess ......"

The eldest grandson Lingfang was dressed in a fiery red palace dress, and her makeup set off her immature face to be a few years older than she actually was, but if you look closely at her eyes, you can still see the anxiety of a girl and the anxiety of being a princess.

Her lips opened lightly, and she called timidly, "Sister." ”

Xiaoqiu immediately turned the corner, and hurriedly pulled Zhiying forward: "Why is the second lady here, come in and sit down, how cold it is to stand on this tuyere." ”

In Zhiying's eyes, no matter how her sister changes, she is always her sister, the person she wants to protect, although she has realized that it is absolutely abnormal for her to appear here, but she is a little lucky, maybe she is just here to apologize?

Lang Yue didn't follow, the palace maids and eunuchs in Hanfu Palace were all familiar faces, and Zhiying smiled-Others may not know you, but I don't even know how many people in your family, how much silver did He Yue secretly hide and send out of the palace, all of them are clear.

At the same time that Zhiying unexpectedly met her sister in Hanfu Palace, in the Qingchun Palace, Cui Yi also met Xie Yuchan unexpectedly.

Xu got a special reminder from her own family, Xie Yuchan looked exceptionally docile today, she didn't yell and scream, and she didn't pounce on Cui Yi like an octopus, when Concubine Duan led her to appear in front of everyone, the three princesses, the four princesses and others all showed a knowing smile - no wonder they did everything possible to keep Cui Yi in the palace to keep the New Year, and they also pushed the eldest grandson Zhiying along the river, which was obviously to give his niece a chance to take the throne.

Emperor Jianyuan listened to Concubine Duan's praise of his niece, but it was the first time to see Xie Yuchan herself, and called her forward to ask a few words, all of which were rehearsed by Concubine Duan for her in advance, Xie Yuchan looked quiet and well-behaved, and the answer was like a stream, although Emperor Jianyuan did not say anything clearly, but the words "I am very satisfied" were written on his face.

Cui Yiru is on the verge of the enemy.

Zhiying is not around, no one can discuss things, seeing that his father's impression of Xie Yuchan is getting better and better, how can it go on like this!
