Lianyi was led towards the main hall. The red wall and blue tiles, the beast sitting high in the skylight, and the big plaque of the royal pen hanging on the top of the temple door with the words "Chengrui Palace" written on it, are engraved in this time that seems to have slowed down because of the supreme nobility.

She didn't dare to look more, she looked at her nose and nose, and looked at her heart, so she just maintained a dignified, calm and obedient face, and walked past one palace daughter eunuch after another - these people also had some dignified, calm and deferential smiles on their faces, but their attention and curiosity about Lianyi could not be hidden, and they were all waiting to see how she acted!

Lianyi stepped onto the steps of the palace, crossed the high threshold, and stepped on the floor paved with large inky blue stones. Obviously, the place where the crown princess lives is the official place of the East Palace, that is, the place where the crown prince Chen Yu should have lived, sat and sittened. If Lianyi remembers correctly, the crown princess Ye married the prince seven or eight years ago.

For the past seven or eight years, the prince has been accompanying another woman in the courtyard next door, and now, that woman is gone, he still hasn't come back, and he has brought in the "new woman".

Lianyi thought about this, and only felt that it was a little cold in the Chengrui Palace. They turned left past two tall houses, and finally heard a soft reply: "Niangniang, someone has come in." ”

Lianyi lowered her head and entered the door, and immediately fell down the red soft curtain with a "bang" behind her, and Wei Qi stopped walking.

Lianyi saw the light purple phoenix robe and the red heavy-embroidered high-soled children's boots hanging from the kang near the south, and knew that the master was sitting there.

The felt strips were laid on the ground, and Lianyi knelt down and made a big salute.

"Get up." Ye speaks softly and amiably, with a slight southern accent. One of the palace daughters came over to help Lianyi up, and the other took the felt strip away. Lianyi was silent, according to the etiquette, put her hands in front of her body, continued to lower her head, took three steps back, and stopped there. I heard Ye Shi say again: "Lotus meaning, right? ”

"Yes."

Lianyi agreed, put on a faint smile, and slowly raised her head.

The princess wore a phoenix hairpin in the middle of her bun, the gown was the same color as the skirt, and the placket was embroidered with dark blue folded plum blossoms. Full moon face, crescent eyes, makeup is what Datong is fashionable this year: the powder is snow-white, the lips are red rouge, and the eyebrows are thin and long, and there is a little blue light - the material of this eyebrow pencil is exquisite, mixed with a little South China Conch and Beihu beads, after the master modulation, there is such a color and light and shadow.

The name is also good, it is called "washing eyes".

Lianyi thinks that the crown princess is extremely beautiful, like the Bodhisattva on the mural in the Daxiong Hall of Huguo Temple, graceful and compassionate. Only then did she understand, no wonder the beautiful woman was called "Sai Guanyin" in the book and the storyteller's story. - Lianyi's appreciation of the crown princess's "one dozen eyes", and moreover, it is also about Ye's appearance and bearing, although she didn't say it, it was quickly projected from the bottom of her eyes to the princess's heart.

Ye's father and uncle are all high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Rites, how good she is at observing words and feelings, and seeing people's thoughts, she immediately noticed Lianyi's opinion of herself.

This is more beautiful than any compliment that comes out, so Ye Shi smiled, "You don't look like your sister at all, what is this naughty?" ”

Several eunuch palace daughters with heads and faces laughed together, and one of them said, "Pretty is beautiful, but it's really not like it." ”

Lianyi was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

The crown princess personally ended this little mess with one sentence, "Since she is beautiful and is the maiden family of Princess Rouxi, it is naturally good to be a side concubine by her side and be a lovely person for her master." You sit down. ”

Lianyi thanked her, sat down on a chair, and first made her position clear: "The slave family, I didn't expect the slave to have this blessing to enter the palace." Now Cheng Grace, naturally only loyalty. The slave doesn't know the rules, and the time is in a hurry, and he hasn't seen his mother yet, but he has received a lot of favors. Niangniang not only has a good appearance, but even her heart is like a bodhisattva. In the future, the slave is the slave of the mother, and the mother is sent by the mother, and she only asks the mother to discipline more. ”

The crown princess's smile deepened, and Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief: thousands of clothes are worn, but sycophants are not worn. Besides, she's telling the truth.

But the crown princess's next words are not very good. "Where's my turn to discipline you? What kind of person is our grandfather? I'm afraid you don't know enough. Your life and death are on him alone. ”

Lian Yi began to pretend to be stupid, smirking at Ye Shi and not responding immediately.

Ye himself muttered two more sentences, "It's not like, it's too different." Then, she ignored the echo of others and asked Lianyi, "Are you and Princess Rouxi close?" ”

Lianyi couldn't tell whether it was better to be "close" or "not close", so she had to deliberately blur it, "Princess Rouxi is older than Nu, and she naturally took care of her when she was a child, but after she entered the palace, she didn't see much. ”

"What about you and your aunt?"

Well? What does that mean?

"The eldest aunt's family, and the slave family, are quite moving."

A light flashed in Ye's eyes, "The same is true of what I heard. So, have you heard your aunt say that your sister left anything behind before leaving? ”

The first reaction in Lianyi's mind was simply ridiculous: Xu Hewei may have saved 100,000 taels of gold, buried in a large water tank, and buried in the backyard of the eldest aunt's house.

But she was unfazed on the surface and shook her head, "No." The whole clan didn't know what Princess Ruxi was thinking. But if you know, can there be anyone who does not admonish? ”

Ye Shi was silent for a while, as if he suddenly remembered, and ordered to look at the tea and see the fruit. Lianyi also pretended to have nothing to do. The tea is a new tribute tea, and there is only one dim sum, called apricot blossom cake, according to Ye's own words, it is the apricot nectar collected from the apricot blossom forest in the east of the East Palace, and steamed with egg rice noodles. She persuaded Lianyi to eat a few more pieces, and then confirmed some of the information she heard to Lianyi one by one: How many people are there in the guards? What about the lotus stuff? How much was taken away, how much was left, and where were they placed? What about the people around Hewei?

The topic is still lotus.

But Lianyi didn't know anything, and she couldn't answer.

Ye finally asked something that didn't matter from the previous question, "I heard that Jin Bei is the captain of the guard, are you satisfied?" ”

Lianyi agreed, "His Royal Highness the Prince's arrangement is naturally good. Slaves don't understand any of this. ”

Ye sneered unobtrusively, "You really don't understand, anyone who is on an errand is naturally the best one who has no distractions." Jin Bei, although he stood out, did the Liang Zi he provoked on the northern border subside? ”

Lianyi's answer was three or two words: "The slave doesn't understand." ”

The crown princess ended the topic of Jinbei, first praised Wei Qi outside the door a few words, told him to be an errand well, and then instructed the subordinates around him: "Eat, drink, and wear, no matter what the concubine has, don't reply to me, just do it, and go back and forth if you can't do it." ”

Lianyi stood up and thanked her, and then stepped back.

The vermilion lacquered door behind her closed, and Wei Qi accompanied her aimlessly in the spring light.

"Guard, do you think I'm like a sister?"

Since he is a child of a family, he should have seen Xu Hewei.

"Like."

It turned out to be this answer.

Lian Yi silently walked a few more steps, "Guards, can we go to the cold palace?" ”

When Wei Qi heard Lianyi's request, he was not only not surprised, but also full of interest, he rushed to her side from behind with a smile, "Whether you can go or not, it depends on how the minister thinks of a way - you don't care about it for now, you say it first, what are you going to do?" Don't hide it from your ministers! ”

It's a child's heart.

Although there was no one left and right, Lian Yi lowered her voice, "Don't you think Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess seems to be talking to me just now?" Don't be what my sister left behind in the capital? ”

"Gold?" This Wei Qi, reasoning ability and human interest are probably at this level, and Lianyi is quite close.

"Of course it's good to keep the gold. However, there are other possibilities - you say, did Hewei really elope for a man? Could there be anything else that will leave my sister? Did she go with that Xijon man to the vast world outside, looking for something interesting or valuable? ”

Wei Qi almost jumped three feet high, "Okay, Your Highness, the minister knows, you want to go to the cold palace to ask Princess Rouxi's original descendant." It's wrapped up in the minister, let's go to the cold palace! ”
