Hetai never interrupted Jin Song's words, and listened to him patiently. Hetai was surprised, he couldn't imagine that so many things had happened during the time he was gone, no wonder she said that she was going to see Hades soon. Sick and treated harshly by the food supervisor, the patient's diet should be paid attention to, and if it is not done well, it may really take a small life, and the maid also treacherously left at this time, which shows that Yu Die'er is physically and mentally devastated.

But she didn't seem to have any intention of saying this to herself, just a sentence of anger, if she hadn't asked Jin Song, I don't know if she would have said it, if she didn't say it again, these grievances would be buried in her heart, he glanced at the dining room, and his heart was sour.

He wanted to be able to protect her under his wings in the name of righteousness, to be good to her in a righteous and bright way, and to be as good as he could. Don't let anyone bully her.

But in the current relationship, if a prince and a female official who can't get married, if he is too extraordinarily concerned, he will definitely attract gossip, he is not afraid, arrogant as he is, how can he care about gossip? But he is afraid that Yu Die'er will be hurt. The disparity in the identities of the two is destined to make irresponsible remarks, it will only be unfavorable to Yu Die'er, who will say that Yu Die'er wants to climb the prince and prince, and with beauty, even if it is more difficult to hear. At that time, she will be trapped in the whirlpool of gossip, and I am afraid that in order to clear her relationship with herself, she will have to draw a line with herself.

This has been the case since ancient times, if the king is greedy for beauty and ignores the government, the courtiers will only say that the enchantress is in charge and seduces the monarch. If Yu Die'er is a princess and she is a guard, I am afraid that the spearhead will be pointed at herself. The humility of his status determines right and wrong, and he can't gag the mouth of the good deed, so on the one hand, he restrains himself only to protect her reputation, and that's it.

If you want to be justified, you can only marry her, but last time she said that she would make her a princess, she refused.

Hetai really didn't know what to do.

The last time the case of Concubine Zhuang was solved, the emperor said that there was a reward, but Hetai only said that there was no shortage of anything, and asked the emperor to keep the reward first, and then ask his father to reward him if he wanted it in the future. The emperor didn't think much about it, because Hetai was so indifferent to fame and fortune, and the fief under his name was also a lot of taxes, silver and tribute, so it might be a prevarication not to reward.

But Hetai said this but he had his own little abacus, he wanted to keep the opportunity and ask the emperor for marriage at that time. He has been exposed to the affairs of the palace since he was a child, and he also knows in his heart that with Yu Die'er's background, if he proposes to accept her as a concubine, the emperor, the queen mother, even the relatives and ministers of the royal family, will speak out against it.

Because after all, it is not a concubine, it is a concubine, the concubine is simple, and no one cares about taking it back, but the concubine is to enter the imperial family, they will definitely be dignified, this woman is from a low background, if she is a princess, it is an insult to the royal dignity.

Besides, she is still a female official, and unless the emperor makes an exception to remove her position, she cannot get married.

So if Yu Die'er disagrees, it will become a handle for them to strike, and once the matter is set off, there is no possibility of maneuvering. So he can't mention it now, so he can only wait for Fluttershy to agree and be as determined as he is.

Hetai hates these so-called matches, the so-called rules, but sometimes he feels that he has to thank them again, if it weren't for these, if it weren't for the gap in status, how could the prince give up? Maybe Fluttershy would have become his concubine?

The Queen Mother is a little sure of it, the Queen Mother has loved herself since she was a child, as long as she asks for it, even if it is not a happy agreement, she should not strongly oppose it, but the emperor is there, I don't know what will happen, so he saves credit, and when the time comes, I hope that the emperor can back down on this matter, as long as the emperor does not stop it, he is not afraid of other people.

It's man-made, take 10,000 steps back and say, if you are really not accepted, as long as Yu Die'er is willing to be with her, it's a big deal to accompany her to be lowly and ask yourself to be degraded to a common person.

When the time comes, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and live a free and easy fairy life.

It's just that the premise of all this is that she is willing, but why is she unwilling? She doesn't even know, is the world-wide difference in identity she is talking about really what she really thinks in her heart, or is it a prevarication? I don't know any of this, and it seems that I still have to find a time to ask clearly.

He suddenly remembered that once in Haoyuezhai, Yu Die'er took the initiative to mention the woman he had been looking for, and asked himself if the woman had a place in his heart, because he hadn't said that the person he was looking for was her, saying that there was a place, and he was afraid that she would think that he liked other women, so he said that he was just repaying his kindness. Then the girl got angry.

Does she want to like that woman? Does she want to push herself to another woman, or does she already know that the person she has saved is herself?

At that time, I wanted to talk to her, but I was interrupted by Cui Li, and now I think about it, maybe she hasn't been picky, so she rejects herself? She doesn't like to look for other women everywhere? Or maybe she already knows that she is looking for her, because she said that she was just repaying her kindness, and she hated herself there.

Such a guess is not a solution, it is still necessary to explain it clearly and ask clearly.

Hetai and Jin Song, a master, a minion, one wanted to inquire, the other wanted to talk, but they hit it off, and the conversation was very speculative. Unconsciously, time slipped by little by little, and it was not until Yu Die'er had finished her meal and returned to the hall that the two stopped talking. first sent to the emperor, and then to the queen mother's palace. The emperor is dining in Chongqi Palace today, because Hetai lied to the emperor before and said that he wanted to rest, and he also pushed the banquet, which was inconvenient for him to appear, so he didn't follow, and went straight to the Queen Mother's palace to wait.

In Haoyue Zhai, several ladies in the backyard naturally knew that Hetai was back, but according to the rules, the concubines easily did not come to the front yard, and only waited anxiously for when the prince was summoned. and so on.

So the other two instigated Xiling to go to the front yard to take a look.

Xiling also wanted to see Hetai, so he listened to the other two, and when he arrived in the front yard, he thought that he might be able to meet the prince, so he deliberately dressed up, changed into a pink shirt and dress, and the few pieces of jewelry on his head were also exquisite in workmanship and in good condition. She is also pretty, and when she dresses up again, the whole person looks like a begonia flower blooming on the branches, and she looks particularly moving.

Although he didn't see Hetai, he met Qingyu, which can be regarded as lucky, he is Hetai's personal eunuch, and Hetai's daily arrangements should be known. Xiling immediately greeted him, "Father-in-law Qing, please stay." ”

"Mrs. Xi, but is there something wrong?" Qingyu was very measured, hurriedly stopped, and asked a little respectfully.

"I heard that the prince is back, and the sisters want to hold a reception banquet. I also bothered my father-in-law to make a general statement on my behalf. ”

"When the prince comes back, I will definitely convey it. ”

Xi Ling hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask more, "Does my father-in-law know where the prince has gone, and when will he come back?"

"Hey, this is not good, I came out of the Queen Mother and said that I was going to Ximian Palace. Let me go back first. Qing Yu intuitively thought that he should delay for a while, otherwise why send himself back first?

"Then I'll go back first, please father-in-law. Xi Ling walked back to the backyard.

Mrs. Xi walked slowly. Qing Yu sent a sentence in his mouth, and went straight to busy himself.

Xiling was very unhappy in his heart, although he lived in the backyard, he still heard some things from the minions below. But what could she do? Just like the two women in the backyard, she was pitifully looking forward to receiving the prince's love, even a little.

The maidservant Ruyan also saw that the master was unhappy, and silently followed behind.

"Ruyan, do you think that's all I can do in my life? A lowly concubine who wants to have no status and no status, and wants to pamper a lowly concubine who is not favored. Xiling called the maidservant's name, but the words were more like talking to himself.

"Madam, why do you despise yourself so much, the prince is still good to Madame. Ruyan felt that although the lady was a concubine, the prince did not have a concubine, in this case, no matter what she said, as a woman of the prince, she was always one level higher than the palace maid. Anyway, it's also the prince's woman.

Xiling smiled sadly, and didn't say anything more, okay? A few years ago, I went to the border, and since I came back, there were only a handful of times when I went into the backyard, and I went out for almost two months, and when I returned to the palace, I didn't say I saw the ladies, but I went to other places first, which is really cold.

"The slave maid thinks that the old saying is good, meet three loves, the prince is busy with business, but rarely comes to the backyard, if the lady can find a way to see the prince a few more times, the prince will naturally value the lady more. Ruyan also felt that the prince was indeed less in the backyard, no matter how beautiful he was, the sect would not see it and forget it.

Xi Ling's eyes lit up, and her words like smoke woke her up, but things were not easy to do.

"See, what you said is simple, what can I do?" Xiling felt discouraged again, if he went to the front yard by himself, the prince might not necessarily see or not say, and maybe he would be displeased, feeling that he had no rules.

Ruyan's mind is lively, and he immediately has a method in his mind, "Didn't Madame use to be an errand with the Queen Mother? The prince is so filial, Madame should go to the Empress Dowager's palace to walk around more, and if you can't keep it, you can meet the prince there. He covered his mouth and sneered.

"You girl. Xiling looked at her with disgust, but her heart blossomed, which is really a good way.

Without further ado, she did what she said, and she immediately set off for Rongxiang Palace.

So when Hetai arrived, Xiling was hammering the shoulders of the Queen Mother, who was here before, familiar with the road, and knew the preferences of the Queen Mother, but later was pointed out to Hetai, in order to avoid suspicion, he rarely came, and now some old things are said, and they are immediately enthusiastic again, and the Queen Mother has a laugh.

She only came this time to contact her feelings, and she didn't expect to meet Hetai at all, because she heard Qingyu also say that the prince had already visited the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect him to come back. So when he saw the person who came in, he glanced at the Queen Mother, and a hint of surprise flashed in his clear eyes, "The prince is here." ”

As soon as Hetai saw her, he was first puzzled, and then a little surprised.

"Why is Tai'er back again?" the Queen Mother was also surprised.
