He Mian'er was woken up by Ah Xiang, "Mrs. Mian, the old lady has just said hello, let you dress up as soon as possible and accompany her to the palace banquet in the evening." ”

He Mian'er held her forehead in a trance, looking at the sunset outside, it seemed that she had slept for more than an hour. Ah Xiang's words, she listened to half of them, and only said in a dumb voice: "The old lady has already set off?" ”

Ah Xiang hurriedly handed over a bowl of warm tea and said, "No, the old lady said that she would wait for you to pack up and enter the palace together." ”

He Mian'er took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and said in a daze: "Why did you let me go again?" "This is really not in line with the old lady's style, isn't Xu Yunqing what he said?

Ah Xiang said honestly: "I heard that the eldest young grandmother was angry with the little young master, and now she is lying down to rest, and she can't enter the palace to say goodbye." ”

He Mian'er didn't know if Sister-in-law Jiang was really unwell, or if she was trying to fulfill herself. But the people outside were urging her, and she didn't have time to visit, so Ah Xiang dressed her up at will, and the clothes were pure and generous. She knew that she would not be able to hide tonight, and she wondered how many people were waiting to see her joke.

There was no way to retreat, she could only straighten up and move forward with all her might.

No matter how fast Rao is, the old lady's men still come over from time to time to urge. When He Mian'er was about to go out, she suddenly thought of something.

"Ah Xiang, there are some medicines I put in the closet, remember to help me make a bowl, and when I come back, remember to avoid outsiders." He Mian'er told Ah Xiangdao. Ah Xiang didn't enter the palace tonight, only she followed and served the old lady.

Seeing Ah Xiang nodding, she breathed a sigh of relief. I could only hear everyone outside beaming, and she was soaked in bitterness from the inside out.

The old lady had obviously been waiting for a long time, and was closing her eyes to recuperate, and when she saw her coming, she only glanced up and down, and said, "Young people feel a lot." He Mian'er blushed when she said this, and the carriage turned, and she was already heading towards the palace.

"Follow me today." Before entering the palace gate, the old lady gave a final advice.

He Mian'er knew that there had always been a lot of dirt and dirt in the palace, so she nodded and agreed.

The palace is full of flowery palace concubines, young ladies of various families, and all kinds of officials who come in are also very lively.

He Mian'er saw a lot of familiar faces in the crowd, after all, she also got acquainted with a lot of handkerchiefs in the past. Luo Shuiwei, a close friend in the boudoir, is naturally also in the ranks.

It's just that everyone knows her situation, some disdain to be with her, and naturally some are curious, but for a while, no one dares to come over to talk to her.

He Mian'er honestly sat next to the old lady with her eyebrows lowered and served, she didn't know what others thought.

However, when she occasionally looked up, she caught a glimpse of her cousin Chen Ziren living in a remote corner, but there was no trace of her father. Could it be that something happened to my father? He Mian'er thought worriedly.

The two looked at each other, and her cousin secretly gave her a look, He Mian'er was thinking about her father in her heart, so she thought about finding an opportunity to sneak out to investigate.

This is a long time. After the emperor and queen appeared, they spoke impassionedly to encourage their loyal ministers and help the court. After that, some courtiers praised the peace of the sea, the wisdom of the holy lord of the country and the people. Some people even touted Xu Yunqing's achievements in being young and promising.

The scene in front of him, which everyone flattered, reminded He Mian'er of the scene when the general's mansion was inexplicably raided, burned down by fire, and no one cared about it, which was quite a bit of a hot and cold feeling.

She looked up to see Xu Yunqing's reaction, but saw him occasionally inadvertently sweeping over a place, He Mian'er followed the line of sight, but saw that next to the palace, a woman was raising a soup spoon, coaxing the child next to her to feed.

Who that person is, He Mian'er knows best. For some reason, there was no trace of King Chen tonight.

He Mian'er only felt bitter in her mouth, picked up a glass of water at random, drank it all, swallowed her throat, and found that it was wine.

All kinds of words that praised each other in her ears, He Mian'er only turned a deaf ear. I don't know how long it was, but I only heard the old lady next to me say: "Yun Qing has been out for a long time and hasn't come back, you go and take a look." ”

He Mian'er answered, looked at the place, and sure enough, only a childish man was left who was greedy in ignorance. He Mian'er slipped out quietly, and a gust of wind blew, and she was much more sober.

The spring night is a little chilly. She looked up at the sky, there was no moon tonight, and the sky was full of stars, a little like the Mobei starry sky that Xu Yunqing described to herself, but it also seemed like some kind of irony.

She didn't want to look for Xu Yunqing, delaying the former pair of mandarin ducks to renew their old relationship. Moving to change the scene, before I knew it, I was actually next to the pool.

"Cousin, you are walking so fast, I chased you all the way, but I couldn't catch up." Chen Ziren suddenly appeared behind him.

Probably because He Mian'er has been in a trance, she didn't notice that someone was following.

"Cousin, how is my father? But feeling unwell? He Mian'er asked eagerly, although she was stubborn and arrogant, and simple-minded, she also realized that her parents were heartbroken and embarrassed because of her, and now she is only afraid that her parents will be unwell.

Chen Ziren shook his head without too much explanation.

While He Mian'er was relaxed in her heart, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. My father was probably afraid of losing face in front of everyone, but he thought too much about it.

"Mian'er, don't you have anything to say to me?" Chen Ziren's face was infatuated, he thought that Xu Yunqing had died, and he had a hope. Even if it's three years and five years, I can always wait for the day when my cousin comes back.

Unbehold, the dead man would come back one day. It's appalling.

"It's better for my cousin to get married as soon as possible." He Mian'er dropped this sentence, and he didn't think about it, regardless of what Chen Ziren thought, he only walked quickly into the bamboo forest, leaving him alone.

He Mian'er thought that this bamboo forest was not big, but she didn't expect to go around and around, but she couldn't find the exit. Finally, she saw a path, and she was about to walk outside.

I only heard a woman sobbing softly next to her, He Mian'er suddenly felt frightened, her hair stood on end, could it be that she had encountered some female ghost who asked for her life?

I could only hear the woman crying something intermittently, and He Mian'er didn't dare to move until she heard a familiar "um".

He Mian'er knew that this was really a coincidence, and she actually bumped into Xu Yunqing and Xie Wanqing's private meeting.

She was already like ashes, and she didn't dare to give birth to any extravagance. But in any case, hearing this scene with my own ears was more intense than any pain.

When the bamboo forest encounters the wind, it is also pleasant to hear. He Mian'er squatted in place, only faintly hearing what Xie Wanqing said about "childish and innocent", and more sobbing.

I don't know how long it took, she only heard what Xu Yunqing seemed to promise, and the two left on their front and back feet.

He Mian'er wanted to straighten up, but her feet were numb and she fell to the spot.

Looking at the occasional rays of starlight from the treetops of the dense forest, He Mian'er prayed with both hands, but still didn't know where the road ahead was.
