The two walked side by side in the vermilion wall, the breeze was slightly cool, and the surroundings were quiet.

Nangong Yi looked at her slightly, Hua Yu even walked very seriously, her expression was calm, she was wearing a clean and tidy robe, with a crown, her hair was tied up to expose her chin and ears, and her earlobes looked small and delicate from this place.

Probably only she will be so relaxed and happy when she walks with me, right? Nangong Yi sighed in her heart, she really has a big heart.

"Lady Niangniang, please enter the palace?" he asked casually.

"Well," Hua Yu replied as she glanced around, taking advantage of the moment to see what the palace looked like, "I was actually quite surprised when she sent someone to find me, I didn't expect her to have so much power." ”

"Unexpected?"

"Yes, I thought it was His Royal Highness's decision to enter the palace. Hua Yu turned her head, her eyes fell into Nangong Yi's warm gaze, paused, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

His gaze ...... Why is it so hot, Hua Yu thought about it in a hurry, and she was a little afraid to look at it.

"There is His Majesty in the palace, and there are ladies in the palace, naturally it is not the king who has the final say, but His Majesty is young, so I have to watch it and not let those with ill intentions approach him. Nangong Yi said slowly.

He didn't want to give Hua Wei the impression of being authoritarian and domineering, and this misunderstanding still needed to be explained clearly.

Passing by a palace, Hua Yu glanced inside.

"The first time the Taoist came to the palace, do you like it?"

"Huh?" Hua Wei glanced up at him, thinking that he was asking strangely, whether he liked it or not, and asked her if it was not appropriate, right?

"Well, it's magnificent. She replied.

Nangong Yi smiled and asked about something else, "Concubine Shu invited you into the palace, presumably to ask about Princess Gao Ning, right?"

Hua Yu's heart moved, so it was better to find out his tone here.

"Well, Concubine Shu Niangniang has been asking me if Princess Gao Ning has any dealings with the two highnesses of Qi State, and asked me to take care of the princess more. ”

"Concubine Niangniang has no children under her knees, only one daughter, presumably she doesn't want to see Gao Ning get married. ”

Hua Yu suddenly turned her head to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Will His Royal Highness let Princess Gao Ning go to kiss?"

"Qi Guo has not clearly mentioned this matter yet, and it is too early to say this. ”

Hua Yu's heart sank, Nangong Yi's words obviously said that three points and seven points were left, he didn't have this plan.

"The relationship between Qi and Dayan is good, and the strength of the two countries is also equal, and it is only necessary for the two surnames to be married together, so the candidates for harmony must be cautious. Gao Ning is within the scope of consideration, not only because she is of the right age, but also because she is excellent, she is the most worthy of all the princesses. Nangong Yi explained.

Hua Wei let out an "oh".

"Are you unhappy?

Hua Wei shook her head, "I'll just ask casually, this is Dayan's state affairs, my master said that this kind of thing should not be taken care of as cultivators." ”

Nangong Yi listened, but didn't react.

Hua Wei sighed and said in a low voice: "It's just that as her friend, I'm a little worried about her, and I pity Concubine Niangniang." ”

Nangong Yi smiled at this time: "If Gao Ning knows, he will be very grateful." ”

After the two of them left the city gate, a carriage stopped at the gate to pick up Nangong Yi.

"Ah, by the way, Your Highness, I have something I want to ask you!" Hua Yu's expression was shocked, and she almost forgot about the big thing because of Gao Ning.

Nangong Yi was stunned for a moment.

"It's about demons, I think-"

"This is not the place to speak," Nangong Yi interrupted her, "Dao Chief, go back and rest, come to the palace to find me later." ”

"Ah, okay. "Hua Yu thinks about it.

"Come through the back door, I'll be waiting for you to eat. Nangong Yi smiled at her and turned to board the carriage.

Hua Yu was shocked by this smile at the gate of the palace, her face flushed, he, he, he smiled and really changed the world for the better!

Nangong Yi opened the curtain behind the carriage and secretly looked at it, and saw that she was still standing at the gate of the palace in a daze, and couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth.

Dongwu didn't know what to say when he saw it, and thought bitterly, his Royal Highness was afraid that he was confused, right?

——

When Hua Yu changed into a light-colored skirt and came to the back door of King Huai's mansion with a veil, she remembered the smile at the palace gate again.

"He asked me to come in through the back door, but he didn't say he wouldn't let me wear a robe, why did I change my dress?" Hua Yu thought to herself.

She tugged at her dress and tidied it up. Then the door suddenly opened.

Hua Yu was startled, and saw Mrs. Zhang poke her head out, and smiled when she saw her, "Oh, the fifth girl is here, Your Highness has already asked the old woman to wait for you here, why don't you knock on the door?"

"Just arrived, just arrived. ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at her with a smile, "Hey, I'm still so handsome, I saw a little Taoist in the house that day, he looks like you, and I took two more looks." ”

Hua Wei barely laughed with her.

Mrs. Zhang sent Hua Yu back on the way to the front yard, and Xibai came to pick her up.

"Your Highness, please—invite the girl to the backyard for dinner. When Siber saw her, his eyes lit up,

Hua Wei was very happy when she heard that the meal was ready.

——

After she entered the house, Nangong Yi glanced up at her, her expression was very peaceful, and beckoned her to come and sit at the table.

Hua Wei walked in briskly, reached out and took out two bottles of wine from her sleeve and placed them on the table.

Nangong Yi looked at her.

Hua Yu said sincerely: "Well, I asked His Highness for help, and I rubbed His Highness a meal in vain, I'm so embarrassed, I will bring you two jars of wine to express my gratitude." ”

Nangong Yi's eyes were slightly dark, and she looked at Hua Yu quietly, and said in her heart that she was dressed like this and sent herself to the door, what else did she need to express her heart?

"Then drink a little, is it okay for the Taoist Chief?"

Hua Wei carried the wine jar again and said seriously: "I can drink it, Your Highness should drink less." ”

Nangong Yi laughed, "Okay, the wine glass is for you, you can pour it." ”

Hua Yu took the wine glass and was busy with joy.

After three rounds of drinking, Nangong Yi saw that her cheeks were overflowing with pink, and her eyes were still shining, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Ikebana to drink so much, did you drink a lot of alcohol before?"

"Of course, Master doesn't let me drink, but I have a senior brother who likes to drink, and I secretly brought it to him, and he gave me some of it. ”

"Oh, I thought the life of cultivation was very hard, but I didn't expect such leisurely and fun things to happen?"

Hua Wei held her chin with her hands and muttered: "It's like a dream in Jihua Mountain for more than ten years, I really like it there." ”

"Do you want to go back?" Nangong Yi asked softly.

"Well, going back to Taiyuan is going home, who doesn't want to go home when they go out. ”

Nangong Yi looked at her gently, suddenly reached out and pulled the long hair in front of her behind her, and asked in a low voice, "Then when do you want to go back?"

"Well, I don't think so. Hua Yu was sad for a moment, and suddenly said to him: "Your Highness, when you have time to go to Jihua Mountain with me, right? ”

Nangong Yi was deeply stunned, and a complex and warm feeling permeated his heart, soaking him like hot spring water, making him relax unconsciously, and his heart became unusually soft.

Jihua Mountain is her hometown, she invited him to go there, in her eyes, he must be different, right?

Seeing that Nangong Yi didn't speak for a long time, Hua Yu thought that he still didn't like to have anything to do with the Taoist temple, so in order to avoid embarrassment, she picked up her glass and said, "Ah, it's all later, I can't go back now, let's have a drink." ”

"When are we going?" Nangong Yi didn't move, and suddenly asked, "Are you interested in asking casually or do you really want to invite me?"

"Ah," Hua Yu thought for a while, clapped her hands and said, "Why don't you just leave this time?" After all, I don't know when she will come to Chang'an next time.

"That chief can't break his word. Nangong Yi picked up the cup and touched Hua Fei's, raised her head and drank it all.

——

The two of them ate a table of dishes, of course, Hua Yu ate a large part of it, Nangong Yi saw that she put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, and then asked, "What are you looking for me?"

Hua Wei slapped her thigh, yes, I didn't eat and drink for nothing, I still have something!

"Does Your Highness remember the last time you traced the whereabouts of the Forgetful Pill for me? Presumably Your Highness has a way to investigate this kind of black market transaction? I have a few elixir lists here, and I would like to ask Your Highness to help you find out who has bought these things in the past six months, and where the money and silver from the transaction have gone. ”

Nangong Yi took the list and looked at it, it was full of the names of medicinal materials that he had never heard of, and they should all be materials for alchemy.

He thought helplessly, he told her that Qingjiang Pavilion was burned by demon fire, and he originally wanted to divert the direction of her investigation and let her stay away from the Cui and Li families, but she still decided to intervene.
