The Empress Yu's ceremonial ride is unusually streamlined, except for the Zhongchang attendant Chuntuo beside His Majesty the Emperor, the newly appointed Dachangqiu Huaiwu, and the empress's several personal servants and palace maids who serve effectively on weekdays, there is only one Taifu Chengguan.

When Queen Yu arrived at Yinglu Palace, she did not send someone to pass the ceremony in advance, and a few people came over quietly. When Empress Yu's steps turned into the corridor in front of Yinglu Palace, Hua Yun saw it. The steps are already close at hand, and Chuntuo has begun to look at Huayun. At this time, Hua Yun had no time to enter Yinglu Palace to report to Yun Ji anyway.

In fact, there is no need to report.

Because Da Changqiu Huaiwu saw Hua Yun at the gate of Yinglu Palace, he ran over quickly and said, "Hua Lingjun, please don't sing." ”

Hua Yun was a little uncertain in his heart. What is the purpose of the queen's visit to Yinglu Palace? His Majesty the Emperor took the initiative to stay in the Changqiu Palace yesterday night for the first time, and this morning, the Empress suddenly visited the Yinglu Palace. Hua Yun began to be a little scared in his heart.

The majestic face, the lack of kindness, the plain body, and the almost complete makeup of the queen approached, and the unique magnificent instrument of the queen made Hua Yun even more afraid, and saluted respectfully: "Chen Hua Yun knocked to see the queen's mother." The queen is immortal. ”

The queen smiled indistinctly and said, "Get up." You are Yun Yuan'e's younger brother, and you can be regarded as a royal family, we are a family. In the future, when there are no foreign ministers, you don't have to make such a big salute, just do the family salute. ”

Hua Yun's heart became even more nervous. The dignified queen, and the notorious queen of jealousy, is so unusually approachable. "Abnormality is a demon". I'm afraid this doesn't bode well.

Hua Yun said respectfully: "The minister doesn't dare." The courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the minister will never dare to abolish it. ”

"You kid. Earlier, I also heard that your kid is skilled in the world and thoughtful?! When I saw it today, how could I be so stubborn?! There is nothing wrong with the courtesy of a monarch and a courtier. However, isn't the gift of family a courtesy?! Hurry up, I'll have more miles to rely on you in the future. Empress Yu motioned to Chun Tuo to help Hua Yun up.

Hua Yun can also be regarded as a young talent with unparalleled eagerness, and he has always boasted that he is not chaotic and good at emergency response. But today's sudden scene, he really didn't expect it, and he couldn't deal with it. In Yinglu Palace, Yun Jiao'e, who was guarded by his own order, and the emperor had issued a strict decree, and no one was allowed to enter unless he was his own holy edict. After all, Queen Ke is the master of the harem. In case the Empress broke into Yinglu Palace, what should he do? If he lets Empress Luo in, it will be disobeying the emperor's holy decree and will be severely punished by the emperor, and if Empress Luo goes in and does anything bad to Yun Jiao'e, and something unexpected happens, not only will his life not be saved, but I am afraid that even the Hua family will suffer. But if he prevents Queen Yu from entering Yinglu Palace, then, with the respect of the mother of the country, Queen Yu can immediately order someone to kill him on the spot.

Hua Yun was puzzled, panicked, and sweat broke out on his head.

Chun Tuo seemed to see Hua Yun's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Hua Lingjun, Your Majesty sent an edict last night, asking the Queen Mother to come to Yinglu Palace this morning and visit Yun Jiao'e Niangniang for Your Majesty." You're going to have to protect you. ”

"Whoa!" Hua Yun said loudly, but he was still uneasy in his heart.

"Is Yun Jiao'e awake?" This is the queen asking.

"The minister has not yet entered the Yinglu Palace. On weekdays, Yun Jiao'e Niangniang should have woken up at this hour. Hua Yun said.

"So be it. You go in first and take a look quietly, and don't make a noise or say it loudly. If Yun Jiao'e is awake, you can tell her that I will come to see her, and you don't need her to come out to salute, just wait in the main hall. If she's not awake, I'll go to the palace next to me first, and I'll come back when she's awake. Yun Jiao'e is now a person with a body, don't frighten her, and don't tire her. Do you understand, Hua Yun? ”

Hua Yun couldn't believe that this was what the extremely jealous and mean Empress said in the outside world. The majesty of the empress is second only to that of the emperor. The majesty of the queen is known to both the government and the opposition. But she is so accommodating to a lowly-born Huan'e today, why did the queen come?

No matter how surprised Hua Yun was, but there was the dictation of His Majesty the Emperor passed on by Chuntuo before, and now there is the accommodation and grace expressed by the Empress Yun herself, and the double majesty of the emperor and queen, Hua Yun would never dare to disobey, and he couldn't even ask more. So, Hua Yun simply responded to a "whoo" and turned around and entered Yinglu Palace.

Yun Jiao'e was in the Yilan Hall, the main hall of Yinglu Palace, gossiping with Ling Ji and Dieji. Ling Ji had already sealed the entertainment spirit, but she had never slept in the world. Butterfly Ji and several other Liuchuan dancing girls, since Fengming Pavilion danced once, have not been summoned by the emperor. According to the emperor's decree, as long as Yun Jiao'e agrees, the nine Liuchuan Mai Ji who came to Beijing with Yun Ji can enter and leave Yinglu Palace to relieve Yun Jiao'e's homesickness.

Hua Yun saluted briefly and said, "Sister, the Queen is here." ”

"Huh?!" Ling Ji and Dieji screamed first.

Ling Ji said, "How is this good? Let her in? "They have long heard of the jealousy of the Empress, and listening to the emperor's intentions, the main reason why the Yinglu Palace implements special control similar to the ban is to beware of the malicious provocation of the Empress. Now she took the initiative to come to visit, although there is a strict order of His Majesty the Emperor, but if the Empress moves out of the queen's dignity and forcibly breaks into the Yinglu Palace, the guards are afraid that it will be difficult to stop her.

However, Yun Ji was very calm, looked at Hua Yun with a smile, and motioned for Hua Yun to continue.

"Lord Chuntuo, the servant of Zhongchang, said that His Majesty specially allowed the queen to come last night, and said that he asked the queen to come to visit his sister on behalf of His Majesty." Hua Yun said, "Moreover, according to the younger brother, the queen's attitude is very humble, not like there is any malice. ”

Ling Ji said: "How can you see 'humility'? How can you think that she has no malicious intent? ”

Hua Yun said: "The queen said that if my sister is awake, tell my sister, but my sister doesn't have to go out to greet her, just wait in the main hall." If the sister has not woken up, don't alarm the sister, she will go to another palace to have a look, and when the sister wakes up, she will come back. ”

Yun Ji stood up and said, "Your Majesty once mentioned to me that the queen mother is very concerned about me, and also said that the queen mother has been quite knowledgeable recently. Your Majesty has allowed the Empress to visit me these days. I just didn't expect the queen to come so soon. ”

Ling Ji frowned and pondered, Dieji didn't say anything.

Yun Ji said: "Don't worry. It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. It's not helpful to worry. When the queen comes, I still have to go to greet her, otherwise it will be a loss of honor and too indecent. Let's go, help me out to meet the queen. ”

Yun Ji took Hua Yun, Ling Ji, and Dieji out of the Yilan Palace, and came to the gate of Yinglu Palace, where she saw Queen Yu leaning sideways and pointing at several nearby palaces with Chun Tuo.

"The concubine didn't know that the queen mother was coming, and she missed the welcome, so please ask the queen mother to punish the crime." Yun Ji knelt down as she spoke. Ling Ji and Dieji knelt down.

Queen Yu turned her face, walked over quickly, helped Yun Ji up, and said, "Hurry up, get up quickly." You are a man with a body, what are you doing with such a big ceremony? Rise up all of you. ”

Empress Yu took Yun Ji's hand and said as she walked towards Yinglu Palace, "Let's go, let's go in and talk." It's a big day outside, so don't bask in the sun. Hua Yun, you kid, how can you be a younger brother? Didn't I tell you on purpose, how can you be so bad that even your sister can't stop you? ”

Although Queen Luo blamed herself, Hua Yun heard that Queen Yu's tone was full of ease and kindness, and knew that she didn't really blame herself, so she said: "Niang Niang forgives her sins." The minister did not do a good job, so please punish the mother. ”

Yun Ji said: "Niang Niang is angry. Niangniang's will, Hua Yun truthfully announced to the concubine. It was the concubine herself who insisted on coming out to greet her mother. Please don't blame Hua Yun. ”

Queen Yu patted Yun Ji's hand and said, "You." Then he turned his face to look at Hua Yun and said, "In the future, you have to be more struggling, otherwise, I don't have to worry about handing over the garrison of Yinglu Palace to you." Got it? The queen said as she walked.

One of the queen's arms actually supported Yun Ji. Yun Ji felt nervous and uncomfortable.

Entering the Yilan Palace, Queen Yu sat down on the main seat and said, "You all sit down." Who are these two? ”

"Queen Niang, this is Ling Ji, this is Butterfly Ji, and it is the Liuchuan Dancing Lady who came to the Holy Capital with her concubine."

"Meet the Queen. The queen is immortal. Ling Ji and Dieji knelt down and saluted.

"You're all good. Arise, sit down also, and speak together. The queen said, "Hua Yun, don't pestle there, come here, sit down." You're also a little uncle now. There are no outsiders here, you can just do it. Don't be so restrained, let's look weird and uncomfortable. ”

"Wow. Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother. Hua Yun smiled sharply, walked over quickly, and sat down generously.

Queen Yu looked out of the door and said, "Huaifu, please come in." "Shaofu Cheng is a foreign minister, he has no will, and he can't enter the harem at will, so he didn't follow Queen Yu in.

"The minister will meet the queen and the queen." After Shaofu Cheng came in, he saluted.

Queen Yu didn't let Guan Yan get up, but said with a straight face: "Guan Yan, you are from a family of doctors and Taoists, and you are well-known for being proficient in medical science. I heard that during the funeral of Emperor Longwu, the case of the grandson of the king of Ganzi County was poisoned, which is very strange, and the reason why it was solved was due to your insight, right? ”

Yun Ji thought of the melting cliff, and her heart felt sour.

I saw that Guan Yao was quite proud and said: "Niang Niang praises falsely." The ancestors were doctors for generations, so the ministers knew a little about medicine. In the case of melting cliffs, the minister happened to bump into it, and the minister only did his best. The strange case was solved, and it all depended on His Majesty's wisdom and determination. ”

"You don't have to be too modest. I've heard your majesty say about your medical skills. The imperial physician order and the medical skills of the imperial physicians are all stylized skills, and minor illnesses and disasters can be used, but when it comes to the festival, it is useless at all. Many of the princes and ministers in the Holy Capital have been helped by your medical skills. You are a good means, and you are a good merit. ”

Guan Yan didn't give in this time, he just owed himself and expressed his gratitude, but his face gave off a light of excitement, which couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Queen Yu said: "I now have a great task that I want to delegate to you. It's just, I don't know, do you dare to take it? ”
