Diligent Palace.

Nangong Yi had just met the ministers of various ministries and discussed with them about negotiating with the Qi State, looking slightly tired, and sat behind the table eating tea.

Dongwu came in and replied in a low voice: "Your Highness, Concubine Shuniang invited the flower path chief to enter the palace, and the person is already on the way, do you want to stop it?"

Nangong Yi said lightly: "No, you go and invite Lord Xu to come." ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, Xu Qingwei arrived.

"Where is Your Majesty?" asked Nangong Yi.

Xu Qingwei said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace, he has never left the Heavenly Apocalypse Hall these days." ”

Nangong Yi was still not at ease, "You go and see him, tell him that I will see him in a while, and ask him not to go anywhere." ”

Xu Qingwei was a little strange, His Royal Highness has always encouraged His Majesty to move around more, or is it the first time for him to stay in his palace and not walk around, is something wrong?

"The flower path has entered the palace," Nangong Yi said expressionlessly: "Look at him, don't be sideways." ”

Xu Qingwei was stunned, "How can she enter the palace?"

"It's Concubine Niangniang, this king guesses that she wants to ask about Princess Gao Ning, the chief of the flower arrangement, there is no need to stop her, let her go. ”

Xu Qingwei nodded, but he was very happy in his heart, maybe when Xiaodao Chang went out for a while, he could go to see her and talk.

——

Hua Yu sat opposite the palace maid, and the carriage slowly drove into the palace.

Concubine Niangniang is the mother of Princess Gaoning, this palace maid treats herself very respectful and friendly, Hua Yu thinks that there should be no trouble in entering the palace this time, she is very curious about the appearance of the palace, but she is embarrassed to lift the curtain, it seems that she is too unstable.

However, she was very curious in some places, so she frequently peeked at the palace maid.

"Ikebana chief wants to ask anything, just ask. ”

Hua Yu smiled and said sincerely: "That poor Dao is offended, dare to ask this aunt, Princess Gao Ning is the imperial aunt of the new emperor, why does Concubine Shu still live in the harem as a concubine?"

The palace maid said: "Oh, the Taoist chief doesn't know, the concubine is the concubine of the first emperor, the new emperor is not the son of the first emperor, but the eldest grandson, the new emperor is only twelve this year, and it is not yet time to marry a wife, and there are no concubines in the harem, so at present, most of the concubines of the first emperor live in the harem." ”

"I see. Hua Yu rarely heard people talk about this new emperor, and suddenly realized that he was only twelve years old, younger than herself.

"I don't know what kind of likes and taboos the mother has? lest I be poor and don't know the etiquette, and make the mother unhappy. ”

The palace maid smiled: "The Taoist doesn't have to be so polite, the mother just heard that the princess was taken care of by the Taoist and wanted to thank you in person." ”

Hua Wei smiled and said a few polite words, and Ninghua Palace arrived.

The lady was already waiting for them in the palace.

Hua Yu and the palace maid came in and saluted, and looked at her carefully after taking a seat.

Gao Ning looks very similar to Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu's eyebrows and eyes are more calm and gentle, her every move is elegant and luxurious, and there is a sense of tranquility precipitated after a thousand sails.

"I have long heard that the Taoist chief has come to Chang'an, and he has never had a chance to meet, and the Taoist chief is really born with a clear and intelligent appearance, and when the palace sees you, he feels that he is destined for you. Concubine Shu smiled.

Xie Niangniang praised it, and Poor Dao also felt that Niangniang was kind. "There are no burning spices in the hall, only the fresh aroma of melons and fruits, which makes the flower woman very relaxed.

Concubine Shu said: "Listen to Gao Ning, the Taoist is high and easy to get along with, she is very dependent on you, Gao Ning's temperament is jumpy, if there is anything that offends the Taoist, please take care of it." ”

"Princess Gao Ning is my friend, we get along very well, don't worry. ”

Concubine Shu raised her hand and asked the palace maid to bring down all the extra people in the palace, and then said to Hua Wei: "Chief Ikebana, there is something really worrying about this palace, so I took the liberty to invite you into the palace and want to ask the truth." ”

Hua Yu thought for a while, "Niangniang, may I ask?"

"This palace heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and King Yu both live on the Liuyun Temple, I wonder what the temperament of these two highnesses is?"

"Temperament ......" Hua Yu thought for a while, "Niangniang, I occasionally meet His Royal Highness King Yu on the Guan, he is very cheerful and straightforward, as for His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen it much, so I don't know much about it." ”

Concubine Shu pondered for a while, and said something very heartfelt, "Ikebana, this palace wants to ask you about these two people, not that there is any ambition, in fact, this palace heard that the prince of Qi took His Royal Highness Yuwang down, the purpose is to marry Da Yan, since Qi has promised a prince, I Da Yan must have a princess, Hanamichi knows that Gao Ning is the age of marriage, but this palace saves her such a daughter, I am really reluctant to marry her far away, even if it is married to Qi State, marrying a prince with a talent, this palace can't bear to ....."

As Concubine Shu spoke, the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't stop, and she wiped them with a handkerchief again and again.

Hua Wan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, do you mean, will the imperial court let Princess Gao Ning go to make peace?"

Concubine Shu said worriedly: "The affairs of the court are all in the hands of the regent, and there is a deep palace woman in this palace, I don't know his plans." The palace is worried that if the Qi Kingdom opens his mouth to ask him for my Gao Ning, the regent is afraid that he will not refuse for the sake of Dayan, and when the time comes, my Gao Ning will ......."

Hua Yuxin said such a thing, next time I can go to find out the tone of King Huai, but it is inconvenient to promise to Concubine Shu.

"Niangniang, although Princess Gao Ning is indeed of the right age, but Da Yan is not the only princess, this matter has not yet been put on the agenda for discussion, you don't have to be so nervous, His Royal Highness King Yu lives in Liuyun Temple for no other reason, it is really just a convenient arrangement by the prince of Qi State. ”

Concubine Shu sighed: "I sent Gao Ning to the Taoist temple at the beginning, just to let her escape the fate of Heqin, I hope I am not smart but mistaken by cleverness." ”

"Niangniang cherishes the princess, and God will definitely let you get your wish. Hua Wei had to do her best to comfort her.

Concubine Shu still didn't look at ease, "A few days ago, this palace heard that Gao Ning and a son of the Cui family had some rumors, Gao Ning seemed to be depressed for a long time, according to the Taoist chief, what thoughts would Gao Ning have for that Yu King?"

Hua Yu thought for a while and shook her head: "I can't see it, the princess is happy to chat with His Royal Highness King Yu, but Poor Dao thinks that this kind of friendly relationship is nothing to be nervous about, just a normal exchange between friends." ”

Concubine Shu's mood finally improved, Hua Yu sat down again, and Concubine Shu gave her a lot of things and sent her out of Ninghua Palace.

After Hua Yu left, Concubine Shu sighed, "Linglong, do you think this Taoist is credible?"

Linglong said: "Niangniang, the flower chief is a very sincere person, and the maid thinks she won't tell lies." ”

"This palace doesn't ask Gao Ning to have any great future in the future, just want her to live a plain life, even if Qi Guo wants her to go to harmony, this palace will not agree!

Linglong hurriedly reassured: "What Niang Niang said is that the princess will definitely not marry far away, you should be careful of your body." ”

Concubine Shu said: "You send someone to Shangyinguan, this palace wants to ask for a prayer charm to accumulate blessings for me Gao Ning." ”

"Yes, sis. ”

——

Hua Yu followed the palace people of Ninghua Palace out of the palace, and the carriage was halfway there, but suddenly stopped.

"His Royal Highness King Huai. ”

"Greetings to Your Highness. ”

Outside there was a sudden salute and greetings, Hua Wei was surprised, she actually met Nangong Yi!

"Who is sitting in the car, why didn't you come forward to salute King Huai?" asked Xibai in a pretentious manner.

Hua Wei opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, and said politely: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Huai, disrespectful." ”

Nangong Yi is still a polite gentleman, like a bright moon, with a clean and noble temperament, and he feels blasphemous when he looks at it more.

"It turned out to be the chief of the flower road, is the chief of the road out of the palace?"

"Exactly," Hua Yu nodded, she saw that there was no carriage behind Nangong Yi, so she turned to the palace of Ninghua Palace: "Thank you for your kindness, just send it here, I'll go back by myself." ”

"Yes, ikebana walks slowly. When those palace maids saw Nangong Yi, they didn't dare to say anything, and they bowed and retired.

Hua Yu turned around at this time, and seeing that there was no one else around, she smiled at Nangong Yi and asked, "Does Your Highness mind going on the same road?"

When she laughed, her eyebrows and eyes were curved into a crescent moon, and her eyes were like a small sun, bright and bright, shining on people's bodies.

Nangong Yi naturally walked up to her and said softly, "Of course not, let's go." ”
