Chapter 60: The Young Prince
Concubine Yue smiled mockingly, her beautiful eyes full of sadness, "Will you come to me?" He'll come to me. It's just that he now has a new love, so he can compare to anyone. ”
"Mother." Huancui looked at her worriedly.
Concubine Yue put away that look, raised her hand and stroked the orchid, as if the lotus flower type was her usual favorite, but she was bored when she looked at it today.
Withdrawing her hand, Concubine Yue looked out the window lightly and said, "The emperor just wants to give this palace a warning, this face, he will not give up easily." Flowers, even if they are just decorations, as long as they are famous, they will always appreciate a few points. ”
Huancui looked at the most precious orchid in the palace so far, and felt that his mother was right.
……
Cheng Qing went to Anhe Palace, met the princess and Zhao Ningbai, did not waste time, and directly explained his intentions.
After hearing this, the princess was silent for a while.
Recently, there have been many rumors, all of which say that the emperor has taken a fancy to Cheng Qing.
There are indeed many dangers for her to enter the palace, but the queen summons, how dare she not go?
Thinking of this, the princess looked at Cheng Qing and said, "Qing'er, my stepmother will enter the palace with you." ”
Cheng Qing was overjoyed and said, "Thank you to my mother-in-law." ”
Zhao Ningbai shook the princess's hand coquettishly and said, "Mother, I'm going too." ”
"Bai Er, the palace is not a fun place." The princess coaxed softly: "My mother and sister went to the palace to do some errands, and they came back after finishing their errands." ”
Zhao Ningbai pouted, looked at Cheng Qing, and said, "Sister, you must come to play with me when you come back." ”
Cheng Qing couldn't help laughing, touched her little head, and said, "Okay, when I come back, I'll play with you." ”
Zhao Ningbai jumped up happily, "Thank you, sister." ”
Infected by her emotions, the princess also smiled, looked at the two of them lovingly, stretched out her hand to Cheng Qing, and said, "Qing'er, let's go." ”
Cheng Qing looked at the princess's outstretched hand, lost his mind for a moment, and then obediently went up to hold her hand, smiled and nodded.
The Imperial Garden is the largest garden in the world, with tens of thousands of varieties of flowers and trees, some of which are still in full bloom.
The last time Cheng Qing walked here, there were not many flowers and trees, and now they are in large blooms.
There are many flowers, but she didn't have the heart to look at it, she followed behind the princess, and just kept her head down.
The princess took her hand, and when she saw her like this, she sighed, she was afraid that the emperor would be frightened.
Thinking of this, the princess patted her hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid. ”
Cheng Qing was slightly stunned, looked up at her, saw her eyes full of encouragement and care, smiled, and nodded.
She's not afraid, she just doesn't want to get into trouble.
"Let's go."
The princess was also a little worried in her heart, and after entering the palace, she was always a little uneasy.
Not far away, the emperor was standing under the eaves, looking at Cheng Qing's figure.
Cheng Qing was wearing a white dress, although she was a little plain, but she also had a unique flavor.
Gonggong Jiang observed the emperor's expression and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the county lord and the princess have gone to the East Palace." ”
The emperor turned around and said, "Let's go, drive to the East Palace." ”
"Yes."
Entering the East Palace, the two met a young man wearing a yellow python robe, who didn't look very old and looked very good.
The princess took Cheng Qing to salute.
"I've seen the prince."
"Auntie doesn't have to be polite." The crown prince Zhao Wuyin said politely: "Auntie is here to see the queen mother, right?" Go for it. ”
Saying that, Zhao Wuyun also nodded to Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing wanted not to be so attention-grabbing, but he didn't expect the prince not only to remember her, but also to have a good impression of her?
Cheng Qing silently blessed his body.
The princess took Cheng Qing and walked inside.
Suddenly, Zhao Wuyun stopped them, "Wait." ”
The princess asked, "What else is the matter with the crown prince?" ”
Zhao Wuyin lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said, "The county lord of Qinghe stays, and I have a few words to say to you, auntie, go first." ”
Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows subtly, a little surprised, and a little not too surprised, the emperor's son was not the first to see her.
It seems that every time I see one, there is one who wants to say a word to her.
She seems to be exceptionally popular.
The princess protected Cheng Qing and said politely to Zhao Wuyun: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, your mother specially invited Qing'er, aunt is uninvited, and the queen will be unhappy if she goes late." ”
Zhao Wuyun's young man's facial features, the lines are still a little soft, delicate with a bit of childishness, but between his eyebrows is clear, he looked at the princess, did not retreat, and said: "Lone knows that she was invited by the queen mother, you go first, Lone will not do anything to her." ”
The princess couldn't make sense with Zhao Wuyin, so she looked at Cheng Qing to see how she reacted.
However, to her surprise, Cheng Qing's reaction turned out to be very calm.
Cheng Qing nodded to the princess and said, "Mother-in-law, you go to see the queen mother first, I will go after listening to the prince's advice here." ”
Although the princess hesitated a little, she still nodded, "Okay then." ”
It is not her turn in the palace to call the shots, what she can do is to try her best to keep Cheng Qing from getting into trouble.
After the princess left, Zhao Wuyin said to Cheng Qing: "You come with me." ”
This is the gate of the palace, not the place to speak.
Cheng Qing naturally understood, and followed him to the other side.
After a while, turning a corridor and arriving at the edge of a small rockery pool, Zhao Wuyun stopped.
Cheng Qing was behind, and he also stopped.
"Lone asks you, do you want to enter the palace as a concubine?" Zhao Wuyun turned to look at her, and in his clear eyes was a firmness that could not be evaded by Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing didn't think about escaping, but in the face of Zhao Wuyun's question, she smiled lightly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, may I ask if I have any other choices?" ”
Zhao Wuyun frowned and said: "Of course, your brother led the army to break the deadlock between the two countries for decades, although he died, his merits are greater than the sky, he is a hero of hundreds of thousands of people in the Zhao country, and he is also the benefactor of my Zhao family's royal family." There is only one real bloodline left in your Cheng family, and your father is confused, so he wants to get involved with you, and he doesn't want to be an ungrateful person, as long as you don't want to, he is willing to help you leave Anping. ”
Cheng Qing was stunned, he didn't expect that in the royal family, in addition to Zhao Wuyuan, there would be a person like the crown prince who had clear grievances and great benevolence.
If he ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, he will be a benevolent monarch, but he seems to have too little experience and is not mature to do things.
How can anyone help people still say bad things about their own father, especially if this father is still a high authority, he can't say it.
"The prince is sincere, then Cheng Qing should also say some sincere words."
Cheng Qing looked at the prince's slightly immature face fearlessly, and said: "I really don't want to enter the palace as a concubine, and I won't enter the palace as a concubine, but I won't leave Anping immediately, the prince's kindness, Cheng Qing accepted it, but he also asked the prince to keep it a secret for Cheng Qing." ”
