Although Qing Qing was the protagonist of the banquet that day, he still only showed up before the banquet and made an excuse to withdraw, although those ladies were eyeing each other, they were helpless - they couldn't force Duanhe Princess, who had turned sallow due to "unaccustomed to water and soil", to accompany them, right? Even if Duanhe and the princess really accompanyed, but because of this, he offended Prime Minister Ye Cheng, who is said to love his daughter like his life, wouldn't it be worth the loss? After all, if there was no Prime Minister Ye, Princess Duanhe would really be a princess, and she would not be so noble.

Although the night Qing avoided this stubble, but on the second day, the reward of the young Emperor Wan Zhao - Wan Zhao is the name of the country used by Yun Lingao - came down as if he had three meals a day, from the precious screen to the small bead hairpin jewelry, all of which were treasures in the world, and the nobles of Yundu were a little confused for a while.

Obviously, Emperor Wan Zhao has announced to the world that he will canonize Ye Qing as the princess of Duanhe, and her name will be entered into the jade, and it is impossible to be a candidate for the queen, but now it is such a lifeless reward, could it be that Prime Minister Ye Cheng gave pressure?

However, there is a beautiful rumor in the market, saying that on the day when Princess Duanhe entered the Ye family tree, Emperor Wanzhao went to Yefu to watch the ceremony, met with Princess Duanhe, and fell in love at first sight, so he was rewarded so frequently, just to please the beauties, as for the matter of the jade, although the holy decree has been issued, but after all, it has not been on it, there is time, if Emperor Wan Zhao sets the princess at this time, who is not long-sighted to dare to mention the stubble in front?

So the nobles of Yundu are waiting for Emperor Wanzhao's new will to come down to the Ye family, so that they can prepare for the next step - after all, if Princess Duanhe does not become the queen, then she is the most noble unmarried woman in Yundu, and there is a flourishing Ye family as a backing, who doesn't want it? But if Princess Duanhe marries into the Middle Palace, it will be the object that each family needs to knot, but now that Emperor Wanzhao's will is unclear, no one dares to act rashly, but as the days go by, Emperor Wanzhao just keeps sending things, Princess Duanhe just calmly accepts things, as for the Ye family, it is naturally as calm as ever.

Although he has not been rewarded by the emperor so often, these are not things that need to be flattered to the Ye family.

The result was that the nobles of Yundu were not in a hurry, and the eunuchs were in a hurry, and in the end, they couldn't guess what Emperor Wan Zhao and Ye Jiangli were planning.

Until the half-moon period promised by the Queen Mother arrived, there was no conclusion. And Ye Qing only brought four maids to the palace. Lime and flowing face are naturally a must, in addition to the blueberries and grapefruit that have been served at night on the way back from Liming City.

At night, Qing entered the palace and walked through the Dengyi Gate - although it was only a side door, not everyone could walk through the side door, which was another grace of Emperor Wan Zhao.

After entering the palace at night, the Empress Dowager was going to meet the Empress Dowager from the Ye family, but unfortunately the Empress Dowager has devoted herself to worshipping the Buddha in recent years, and went to the Huangjue Temple outside the Yundu City a few days ago to talk about Buddhism with the presiding master of the interpretation - the master of the interpretation is a monk who has attained the Tao in the country of Evian, and most of the time he is in retreat and practicing Buddhism, and only this month in the year will he meet the people of the layman, so although the mother of the night Qing is raised in the name of the queen mother, but I learned that the night Qing came back, The Empress Dowager only rewarded a few Buddha statues and a few hand-copied scriptures of the Empress Dowager the next day, and did not summon them, even if she knew that Ye Qing was going to enter the palace, she still went to find a master of interpretation. It is said that the Empress Dowager has already regarded herself as an outsider in the harem, so the Empress Dowager has gradually become proud in recent years.

So after entering the palace at night, he could only go to see the queen mother. The Empress Dowager lives in the Ci'an Palace on the north side of the palace, in order to show respect for the Empress Dowager, the night Qing is on foot, and does not take a sedan chair, Yanqing Palace and Ci'an Palace are not close, and the Night Qing walked for almost a quarter of an hour to arrive.

If you change to other ladies, I'm afraid that I won't be able to walk for a long time, fortunately, Yeqing has always paid attention to exercise, so that she can still maintain her grace when she walks to Ci'an Palace, but after all, it is summer, although there is a little eunuch to help with an umbrella to shade the sun, but she still walks sweating profusely, and Yeqing can't help but be glad that she didn't put powder on her face when she came out, otherwise she may not be able to see her face now.

When I entered the Ci'an Palace, I felt a lot cooler, and there were a lot of ancient trees planted in the Ci'an Palace, covering the sky and the sun, and it was very shady.

"Please wait with the princess for a while, the Queen Mother is taking a nap, and she will get up in a quarter of an hour." The little eunuch who brought her in led her to the side hall of Ci'an Palace, and a palace maid dressed as a female official greeted her and said apologetically to the night.

At night, she smiled lightly: "What did my aunt say, since the Queen Mother is resting, then I will wait." ”

The female official bowed: "The slave maid ordered someone to serve tea to the princess." After speaking, he didn't wait for Yeqing to answer, and left by himself.

Wiping the fine sweat remaining on the corner of her forehead, Yeqing finally determined that the queen mother's dislike for her was almost on the surface. Otherwise, why would the palace people of Yanqing Palace remind themselves to come over at this time to say goodbye, and let the palace people who accompanied them hint that they would walk over to show respect, and now, even a female official can give her a color, and I don't know how long the queen mother has been in this quarter of an hour? After all, I still have to freshen up.

"Princess ......" followed Ye Qing to Ci'an Palace, she covered Ye Qing's ear and whispered: "The Queen Mother, she has always been at odds with the Lord, the princess should not go to her heart......"

I see.

Clearing your jaw at night, indicating that you know.

Sure enough, the queen mother waited for an hour for the night to clear this quarter of an hour.

is still the female official just now: "The slave maid should die, although the Queen Mother is up, because the Queen Mother is dedicated to worshiping the Buddha, so the Queen Mother will go to the Buddha Hall to recite Buddhist scriptures for a while after taking a nap every day, in order to show respect for the Queen Mother, the slave and the maid forgot to tell the Duanhe Princess, let the Duanhe Princess wait for a long time, the slave and the maid are really damned!" ”

Ye Qing put down the tea that was already too cold in his hand, and still smiled lightly: "Auntie is serious, if the Queen Mother still has something, I will continue to wait - I am just an idler left and right, and it is a blessing to be able to wait for the Queen Mother." ”

Ye Qing's tone and demeanor couldn't be better, but because of this, the female official finally changed color, and her eyes looked at Ye Qing a little more: "Where did the princess say, the queen mother ordered the slave maid to invite the princess, and the princess asked the slave to come with the slave maid." ”

Ye Qing got up gracefully: "Aunt Lao is leading the way." ”

The female officer smiled all over her face: "The princess is so polite!" ”

Ye said lightly: "My aunt is an old man in the palace, and she is the proud person in front of the Queen Mother, how can Duanhe not be polite!" ”

The female official suddenly felt trembling in her heart for some reason, how did she feel that Princess Duanhe seemed to have a slight mockery when she said the word "you're welcome"?
