When Zhao Jiu heard this, he turned around, only to see a man wearing a dark blue brocade robe with a clean and soft face walking over, very familiar.

Isn't this the prince who was drunk and wanted to jump into the lotus pond that day, but was rescued by her!

In a moment of distraction, Imperial Physician Zhang and the little eunuch were already kneeling on the ground, and they all shouted, "See Your Highness." ”

The man said, "Isn't Imperial Doctor Zhang still going to see a doctor?" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang was stunned and then said yes again and again, and soon retired with the little eunuch.

Although the man's words were gentle, he also carried a hint of majesty that could not be refused. Zhao Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a disgraced prince, he still suppressed this imperial doctor in terms of rank, and she was saved.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhao Jiu stood up, but his head was still hanging down, an instinctive reaction after living in this palace for so long.

The man smiled slightly, and said gently: "You're welcome, you helped me last time, I helped you this time, and the two of us don't owe each other." ”

Only then did Zhao Jiu raise his head, and saw that he had handsome facial features and gentle eyebrows, and he did not have an aura that was difficult to approach like Li Yun, but was very friendly and friendly, as if he was very easy to get along with.

The man took out a jade wrench from his sleeve and said to Zhao Jiu: "You dropped it." ”

Zhao Jiu's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "I thought it was picked up by someone else." ”

The man smiled and handed the jade wrench back to her: "It's good that I picked it up, otherwise you wouldn't have come back." ”

"Your Highness." Zhao Jiu happily put away the jade wrench, thinking that he could go to buy a shop again, and then saw that the man was staring at her face, so Zheng said, "Your Highness helped me, and helped me pick up this jade wrench, I don't know how to repay Your Highness." ”

The man thought for a moment with one hand behind his back and the other in front of him: "If you insist on repaying the favor, find a time to drink with me." ”

This reward was really something Zhao Jiu didn't expect, but she hurriedly responded: "Okay, I'll invite His Highness to drink!" ”

The man still smiled softly: "It's okay, but I don't drink ordinary wine." ”

It's quite picky, Zhao Jiu thought, but there are so many good wines in Li Yun's Cloud Shadow Palace, it won't be a problem for her to steal a pot or two and invite someone to drink it another day.

So Zhao Jiu also smiled and agreed: "No problem, it must be a good aging!" As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know which prince in the palace this was, so he asked again, "By the way, I don't know where His Highness's palace is, and I won't know where to find His Highness until I get good wine." ”

The man was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Chonghua Palace." ”

Zhao Jiu hadn't heard of this palace, but since she didn't know it, it must be an extremely remote palace, and it seemed that it was undoubtedly a prince who had fallen out of favor.

Zhao Jiu thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, don't drink alone by this pool in the future, it's very dangerous." ”

The man smiled, "I see." By the way, you haven't told me what your name is. ”

"Oh, my name is Zhao Jiu, and I'm the stableman of the Imperial Horse Warden."

The man nodded, and said, "You don't have to call me Your Highness when there is no one in private, just call me Yuan Xi." ”

Which prince is Yuan Xi?

Zhao Jiu didn't have much impression of this name, maybe he was also a cannon fodder character, after all, there was nothing to describe in the book.

So adhering to the concept of "the world's cannon fodder is one", Zhao Jiu inexplicably felt that Yuan Xi was cordial, and he couldn't help but relax when he got along with him, and promised with a smile: "That Yuan Xi, if you don't dislike my humble status, I will treat you as a friend, and if I get good wine in the future, I will definitely take it to Chonghua Palace to share with you." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Very good, then we will be friends from today onwards, Zhao Jiu." ”

Riding shooting range.

The princes sat on their seats to watch the competition in the field, while Li Yun sat on the left side of the main seat, playing with the wine glass in his hand, looking a little impatient.

The guards on the side couldn't help muttering: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited our Highness to come down to test riding and shooting, but the people have not arrived for a long time, and I don't know what it means." ”

Guo Qi saw that the wine glass in Li Yun's hand was heavily buckled on the table, and immediately glared at the guard, and then said to Li Yun: "Your Highness, why don't you go to the field to play?" ”

Li Yun got up indifferently: "No need, go back to the Cloud Shadow Palace." ”

At this time, suddenly a palace person announced that "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived", and everyone in the venue got up and saluted.

Guo Qi hesitated to look at Li Yun, a hint of banter flashed in Li Yun's eyes, he tilted the corner of his mouth, jumped off the stands and walked towards the man who walked in slowly.

"Brother Huang, let the younger brother wait."

Recently, Zhao Jiu has rarely dreamed of the scene on the Great Twilight Mountain anymore, more precisely, since Li Yun discovered her daughter's body that day, she has never dreamed of it since she came back from the Cloud Shadow Palace. Although she provoked Li Yun, the big demon king, it was a lot harder during the day, but at night she was finally able to sleep peacefully and dreamless all night.

But maybe it was when she was cleaning the stables today, and she heard the people who had just returned from the riding range talking about Li Yun's majestic posture of defeating the prince on the field, and her mind couldn't help but think of Li Yun riding horses and shooting arrows in the garden of the Cloud Shadow Hall on weekdays, wanton and free, full of wild uninhibitedness. And at night, she dreamed of Li Yun.

In the cool night, Li Yungao rode on the "Snow Treading Black Horse", crossed the sword on the mountain road, and a huge white jade cold moon behind him seemed to descend because of him.

She clearly saw that Li Yun's black eyes seemed to be stained red with blood, and a dazzling drop of scarlet dripping from his sword, Zhao Jiu was stunned and woke up.

She actually dreamed that Li Yun was going to kill her!

And sure enough, she either doesn't dream, and when she dreams, there are signs.

The eunuch beside the queen actually came to the imperial horse eunuch to invite her, and did not inform the overseer, but took her away privately.

As in the last meeting, the queen is still dignified and beautiful, and her amiable appearance makes it easy to ignore the traces left on her face by the years.

However, Zhao Jiu has already seen the queen's personality, so naturally he will not be deceived by the queen's appearance, and carefully asks the queen for peace.

The queen exempted Zhao Jiu from the courtesy, and asked someone to bring a chair for her to sit. As soon as Zhao Jiu stood up, he immediately knelt down, and shouted, "The villain doesn't dare."

The queen smiled and said: "You are now a celebrity in front of His Royal Highness King Ning, you are different from others, what are you doing kneeling?" Get up and sit down. ”

Zhao Jiu was shocked, sure enough, the queen was not a good stubble, and it was not out of sincerity to ask her to sit down. So Zhao Jiu continued to kneel and said: "Queen Mother, the villain has always remembered the Niangniang's promise and entrustment, and he dare not forget it. ”

"Oh?" The queen's expression did not change much, and her tone was faintly stern, "But this palace is very happy to see you in the Cloud Shadow Palace." ”

She's a happy fart, that's all superficial, it's all rumors spread by people in the palace!

Zhao Jiu hurriedly squeezed out two tears and raised a miserable little face: "Queen Mother, it is true that I have often been summoned to the Cloud Shadow Hall by His Royal Highness King Ning recently, but I am also for your entrustment." Everyone knows that King Ning loves and attaches great importance to the 'snow stepping black horse', how can ordinary people touch it easily? Even the stables that go in to clean the horses have to go through strict inspections. In order to gain King Ning's trust, I also tried my best and suffered a lot, but fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and King Ning finally handed over the horse to the villain. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jiu added fuel and vinegar to how Li Yun abused her, and exaggerated it, when it was really sad for those who saw it, and tears for those who heard it, even Zhao Jiu himself began to admire himself, it was a pity not to be a storyteller.

After hearing this, the queen also showed a look of pity: "Yo, then you are really suffering." ”

Zhao Jiu snorted: "In order to live up to the expectations of the mother, what is it to suffer from this." ”

"But," said the Queen, "why do I see that your name is not on the list of those who accompanied me to the spring hunt?" Zhao Jiu, what's going on, can you talk to this palace? ”

Her body trembled slightly, Zhao Jiu could feel the compelling gaze even if she didn't look at the queen, she quickly turned her brain, and hurriedly shouted injustice: "Niangniang, after I went back that day, I also went to ask Supervisor Hong to ask him to add the villain's name." Someone must have been jealous of me, so they crossed out the villain's name. These people are just looking for trouble for me everywhere, and now they want to prevent me from going to the Great Twilight Mountain, and ask the queen to make the decision for the villain! ”

The little eunuch beside the queen confirmed for Zhao Jiu that there were indeed people in the imperial horse prison who were looking for trouble with Zhao Jiu, such as Zhang San and Li Si.

The queen saw that Zhao Jiu's face was full of innocence, and it didn't seem like she was lying, so she brushed her sleeves and left, and then said to Zhao Jiu: "Okay, this palace knows." Since you are loyal to Hongu, then Hongu will clear the way for you. The main palace will ask someone to add your name again, and you can go on a spring hunt with you. ”

Zhao Jiu wanted to cry without tears: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

The queen smiled contemptuously: "Zhao Jiu, don't let this palace down." ”

Last night's dream suddenly flashed in front of him, and Zhao Jiu 10,000 was sure that Li Yun's bloodthirsty eyes were looking at her, and the blood stained on his sword might be hers, Li Yun found out about her and the queen's conspiracy, so Li Yun killed her.

Zhao Jiu's heart knelt down like ashes: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

*

When she returned to the Imperial Horse Prison, Yu came to her with a quick clapping of her hands and told her that Zhang San and Li Si didn't know what they had done wrong and were locked up by the overseer.

Since Zhao Jiu started taking care of Ferrari, Zhang San and Li Si have not been less troubled by Zhao Jiu. Either she soiled the stables that Zhao Jiu had just cleaned to frame her, or she secretly replaced the horse grass in an attempt to make the Ferrari have a stomach. Although these conspiracies have been discovered by Zhao Jiu, it is really disturbing to be like this all day. That's why when the queen asked her, she said that, just to shirk responsibility.

But now Zhang San and Li Si were really locked up, she suddenly felt deep fear and fear, she felt that she was just like Zhang San and Li Si, just ants and mustards in this imperial city, which could be trampled on at will, and did not need half a point of sympathy.
