In the courtyard, there was a man in a dark red robe, his body was thin, his beard was half white, but his eyes were sharp, he was the most powerful eunuch beside the Holy Lord today, Xia Jinzhong.

"The old slave visits Princess Yuanxi." Xia Jinzhong said respectfully.

"Grandpa Xia is polite, after seven years, Grandpa Xia is still so energetic." Gong Yu smiled. Father-in-law Xia should be almost sixty years old today. She, Brother Huaishu, and Brother Prince all grew up under the watchful eye of this father-in-law.

"Your Highness has praised it falsely, I haven't seen you for seven years, and Your Highness seems to have grown taller."

"Yes, in the past seven years, I have grown a lot taller, if Brother Prince and Brother Huaishu see it, they should also feel happy." Gong Yu smiled.

This seems to be a casual sentence, but Xia Jinzhong was silent for a long time, he didn't dare to answer this sentence, whether it was King Gong or the crown prince, there were too many people and things involved, he only hung his head and said: "Your Highness, the old slave came by the emperor's dictation, and the emperor announced that you and the horse would enter the palace immediately, and the carriage to enter the palace was also prepared." ”

Xia Jinzhong sighed a little in his heart, this princess he had watched grow up since he was a child had changed too much.

Seven years ago, that Princess Yuanxi, who was black-haired and coquettish, and could only call him Old Man Xia, has now become such an elegant and detached person.

Xia Jinzhong couldn't see through what was hidden behind Gong Yu's smile, and for some reason, he began to feel a little jealous of this child he had watched grow up with.

"Thank you Father-in-law Xia for a trip, the palace will go and prepare now, I hope Father-in-law will wait for a while." Gong Yu said, she seemed to recall something, and a trace of complicated emotions crossed her eyes.

Seven years ago, her father announced that she and Xie Yun had entered the palace, and she had always been disgusted that Xie Yun appeared at the same table with her as a concubine, so she prevaricated on the grounds that the concubine was ill and was not suitable to enter the palace, and never entered the palace with Xie Yun. Over time, Xie Yun didn't care about entering the palace.

Xie Yun is one of the most innocent people between her and Fufeng Xie's grievances. Gong Yu lowered her eyes, if she didn't have a trace of guilt for Xie Yun, it must be false. After all, it was she who nearly ruined Xie Yun's life because of her momentary resentment.

She didn't want Xie Yun to be trapped in the princess's mansion for the rest of her life, and entering the palace now was a good time to break this deadlock.

But she wanted Xie Yun to enter the palace, but Xie Yun was not necessarily willing. If he excused himself from illness, she wouldn't be able to say anything.

"Shuying, you go and tell the horse, let the horse change clothes, and my father will let him enter the palace with me." Gong Yu lowered his head and twisted the sleeves of the brocade robe, and said in a low voice.

To Gong Yu's surprise, Xie Yun unexpectedly cooperated.

Inside the carriage, Xie Yun was closing his eyes and recuperating. He was still wearing the brocade robe embroidered with bamboo. A few strands of black hair hung down on his collar, making his face a little more peaceful than ever.

Gong Yu looked at his face, and she would only look at him so unscrupulously when Xie Yun closed her eyes like this. Because she didn't want to see Xie Yun's eyes.

- Those eyes see people too clearly. She was a little reluctant that Xie Yun would find out her guilt about him.

"Xie Yun, do you like bamboo?" Gong Yu looked at Xie Yun's brocade clothes embroidered with bamboo and asked.

Xie Yun opened his eyes, there was no emotion in his dark eyes, and he replied, "I have liked bamboo since I was a child, but I can't see it in the princess's mansion." ”

Xie Yun has loved bamboo since she was a child, and she has been married to him for seven years, and she is only now noticing. Gong Yu couldn't help sighing, "If you like it, you should plant some in the princess's mansion, I heard that the land of Yushu today paid tribute to my father's emperor some dragon scale bamboo, and when I entered the palace, I will go to ask my father for some." ”

Xie Yun looked up at Gong Yu for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

Gong Yu looked away, and continued, "This is the first time you have entered the palace with me, I originally thought you wouldn't come." ”

Xie Yun lowered his eyes, and he said, "Your Highness's order is not to be disobeyed. Your Highness has always been a person who will not be embarrassed by him. ”

Gong Yu's face turned slightly pale when she heard this, and in that shadow, she saw the fine and dense old scars on Xie Yun's wrist again.

Xie Yun used to be so proud, she hated Xie Yun's arrogance, if Xie Yun didn't listen to her, she would torture him. Even if she was wrong, she would not allow Xie Yun to disobey her.

Gong Yu didn't hear that sentence, she smiled reluctantly and changed the topic: "When you see your father, you don't have to speak, just leave everything to me." ”

Xie Yun didn't answer, he closed his eyes again.

The princess's mansion was not a few miles away from the palace, but after a while, the carriage stopped at the palace gate.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor and the queen are waiting for you in Chengqian Palace." Xia Jinzhong said in a low voice, a little surprised in his heart, Princess Yuanxi would enter the palace with the concubine.

Princess Yuanxi's dislike of the horse is already a tacit matter in the palace and the family center.

So what is she willing to enter the palace with the horse today? Xia Jinzhong couldn't help but speculate about what Gong Yu meant. But when he thought of this, he stopped for a moment.

He, Xia Jinzhong, has always only speculated on the meaning of the superior who he thinks is terrible!

Father didn't wait for her in Chonghua Palace, was it because he didn't mention the past seven years ago to her?

Gong Yu was also speculating about the emperor's meaning, she looked at the familiar palace gate, but she was still smiling slightly.

Chengqian Palace has been the residence of the queen since the founding of the country, and the current owner is Su Shaowan, the mother of Gong Yu, who is the most prestigious daughter of the Su family in Yunchuan, and married the current emperor Gong Xuan. When Gong Xuan first ascended the throne, he gave birth to the eldest Gong Heng, that is, Gong Yu's own brother, the prince Heng who died in the Xuanyumen Change.

To get to Chengqian Palace, you need to go through several corridors, and Gong Yu remembers that there is also a pool where she used to catch koi fish with the prince's brother and Huaishu's brother. Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Gong Yu's mouth really felt a little.

However, at this moment, a crisp voice came from the side of the pool, interrupting Gong Yu's thoughts.

"I heard that Princess Yuanxi has returned to Beijing, Sister Cui, you have to stay away from this princess, she is vicious, arrogant, and faceless."

"Sister Wan, why do you say that?" I only heard another girl ask innocently.

"You only recently entered Beijing from Runan, you shouldn't have heard of it, seven years ago, this princess Yuanxi actually knelt on the steps in front of the Chonghua Palace, in front of everyone, kowtowed to intercede for a rebellious King Gong, this King Gong assassinated her own brother Prince Xian, her crazy behavior simply lost the face of the royal family!"

"But, why does Princess Yuanxi want to intercede for King Gong?"

"Hmph, naturally it's because she likes King Gong since she was a child. It's ironic to say that the person I like actually killed his own brother, which is really unclear. Your Majesty has always been wise, how can there be such a daughter? ”

"But isn't Princess Yuanxi's concubine Xie Yun of the Fufeng Xie family? Doesn't Princess Yuanxi like Xie Yun? ”

"Princess Yuanxi, but she hates Xie Yun very much." Speaking of this, there seemed to be a hint of resentment in the purple-clothed girl's tone, and she said in a low voice: "How heroic Xie Yun of the Fufeng Xie clan was back then, talented, and crowned Jinghua, but he was given a marriage to Princess Yuanxi by His Majesty, and Princess Yuanxi refused to accept this marriage, so she tortured Xie Yun and made him lose his career. In the end, Taishi Xie Xun even did not hesitate to resign as a concession to get Princess Yuanxi to spare Xie Yun. ”

Immediately afterwards, the purple-clothed girl seemed to remember something extremely hateful, and she continued: "Xie Yun is very likely to be imprisoned in the princess's mansion by Princess Yuanxi, I have heard that Xie Yun does not seem to have taken half a step in the princess's mansion in the past seven years, this princess Yuanxi is really domineering and vicious!" ”

This young lady's voice is not big, but it is not small, Gong Yu can just hear it clearly.

can mention King Gong and the former prince so unscrupulously in the palace, this young lady is either in a hurry to seek death, then she is too confident.

Gong Yu looked at the young lady in purple clothes standing by the pool, she had never seen this person, but she could roughly deduce the identities of the two, this young lady in purple clothes should be the descendants of the Wan family in Longxi. As for the one in goose yellow clothes, it should be the young lady of the Cui clan in Runan.

The descendants of the gate valve family have always regarded themselves very highly, and will only deal with people of the same status.

The wall has ears, it is impossible for this young lady from Longxi Wanshi not to know, she said this, it is clear that she deliberately said it to others.

This young lady of the Longxi Wan clan probably knew that she was going to Chengqian Palace to meet her father and mother.

Gong Yu pondered for a moment, she stopped, and looked at the people by the pool from afar.

Xia Jinzhong quietly glanced up at Gong Yu, he thought that His Royal Highness would angrily reprimand that Miss Wan because of this.

But surprisingly, Gong Yu was still smiling like that, as if the person in Miss Wan's mouth was not her.

She only asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Xia, who are these two young ladies?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the purple dress is Rong Guifei's niece, Wan Zihan. The yellow dress is Miss Yan of the Cui clan in Runan, who recently entered Beijing, Cui Xiyao. ”

This Wan Zihan has never seen her, but he has such a deep prejudice against her. Gong Yu did not ignore Wan Zihan's resentment towards her when he mentioned Xie Yun.

What's the matter, is this Rong Guifei's niece happy with Xie Yun? Gong Yu looked at Xie Yun thoughtfully, but unexpectedly found that Xie Yun was also looking at her.

Her figure was clearly reflected in his dark eyes.
