Chapter Forty-Eight: Encounter
To the Taihe Palace, here is the vestibule of the royal family of Yongling Kingdom, divided into three parts: the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Palace, each hall covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, can accommodate thousands of people, the general royal large-scale banquet is held in the palace, and the main hall of different banquet choices is also different.
The atrium is the place where the ministers of the court and the central government preside over the government, and generally except for those ministers, there can be no other irrelevant people to set foot in, unless the emperor declares it, and can be led by the inner supervisor to the audience.
The back court, as the name suggests, is the emperor's harem and the residence of the royal family members, three palaces and six courtyards, arranged according to the height of the position. The master of the harem is naturally the queen Fuchar, but if you want to say that the most powerful, it is the empress dowager Mu Ying.
She is the mother of the former Emperor Xiaozhi, and she is also the imperial grandmother of Yun Mengchen's orthodox relatives, and they are left with her and Yun Mengchen, a few orthodox bloodlines, although the people are weak, but more than half of the people in the court support them, so even if the queen is ambitious, she will not dare to touch her.
Although she had ignored the government in her early years, if there was any incident that went against the grain, she still had the right to call the old ministers for impeachment, so that things could return to the right path, let the Yongling Kingdom develop smoothly, and prevent the current emperor from going down the wrong path.
She is like a beam of light guiding the Yongling Kingdom forward, but this light will always have a dim day, but she can't worry about whether the Yongling Kingdom will continue to develop like it is now, and she is more worried about whether her poor grandson can survive unharmed in this flashy and chaotic world!
On the entire Taihe Palace, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the courtiers are all greeting warmly with their families, and the position is arranged in a square, and the position of due east is naturally reserved for the ninety-five of Yongling and the mother of a country, but this time the position has changed slightly, and the position of the empress dowager is placed above the queen, and in previous years it was on an equal footing.
Yan Jiaxin sat in the position, these flowers are good-looking, but there are too many people, she doesn't know them, so she can only sit quietly and drink tea, but the cup she just picked up fell down like this, and the tea spilled on the ground, making a lot of movement, but fortunately, it didn't attract anyone's attention.
She frowned and looked at her hand, and tried to take the dropped cup again, but she still couldn't hold it and fell down, she raised her eyes anxiously, but saw that in the position opposite her, Sima Jingshu was holding the cup and smiling at her!
Looking at her side again, Yun Mengchen, who had just been called over, was chatting with a middle-aged man, his expression was as dull as ever, and he didn't know what they were talking about, but Sima Jingshu's smile was completely provocative!
Holding her hand, Yan Jiaxin didn't know what to do, was her hand wasted? If she told Yun Mengchen, would he believe her? She couldn't find someone to talk to now, and her sister didn't know where to run.
During the search, she saw a figure that made her little face pale, she saw it just now, but it was just that shocking glance, she didn't see it too clearly and wasn't sure if that person was Ning Weijin, but now, she could see it clearly!
Isn't he from Yongle Country? What is he here for, or is he here for what purpose? Seeing him disappear outside an arch, Yan Jiaxin stood up and chased after him.
Not long after Yan Jiaxin left, Yun Mengchen saw that the position here was empty, so he signaled to Qi Xiao. General Sima was his father's most effective general back then, and he had made a lot of contributions to the Yongling State earlier, and he wanted to pull him to chat, he naturally couldn't refuse.
It's just that he was worried about the little girl, and it was okay to see her sitting there obediently, but at this moment, he began to be a little absent-minded, and he didn't even listen to what they said in the end, until Qi Xiao came back and said something in his ear, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
When Sima Jingshu saw this, it happened that the person she had just sent out had also returned. "What's going on?"
"Miss Hui, our people saw that Princess Nachen ran out by herself."
When Sima Jingshu heard this, her eyes lit up and she stood up: "You ran out by yourself?" Where did it go? ”
"It seems to be over there in the Imperial Garden."
"Imperial Garden..."Sima Jingshu muttered, as if she had thought of something, and smiled: "Lead the way, take a look." ”
Yun Mengchen met Qi Xiaoyueru outside the arch, listening to them and finding no one, Yun Mengchen's face, which was usually as pale as water, surged with a trace of nervousness. "Keep looking, especially in hidden corners of the garden or on the grass!"
Qi Xiao and Yueru quietly glanced at each other, although they didn't understand why their prince was looking for someone so strangely, but they could only obey orders. At this time, a very charming and charming woman walked from the direction of the imperial garden, and her proud figure could not be covered even by wearing a cold coat.
Qi Xiao looked distracted, his eyes followed the woman, and he saw that she was smiling and nodding with Yun Mengchen, but Yun Mengchen didn't even look at the woman... Qi Xiao secretly slandered in his heart, if it weren't for his princess, he really suspected that his prince was abnormal...
When she passed by, the girl suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Yun Mengchen thoughtfully, her cherry lips opened and closed, and her magnetic and soft voice crossed people's hearts, and there was a kind of magic that seduced people: "Dare to ask, isn't this His Royal Highness King Chen of Yongling Kingdom?" ”
Qi Xiao saw that a beautiful woman was accosting, but he reacted quickly: "The girl knows my prince?" Dare to ask the girl who is...? ”
After Yun Mengchen gave Qi Xiao a look, he looked at the woman who spoke, and at a glance, there was no fluctuation, and it was as plain as water: "Girl, please take care of yourself, this king will not accompany him if he has important things." ”
Such a straightforward meaning, the atmosphere of several people was a little awkward, the woman just said that her origin was not, not to say it, and finally she only looked at him with a smile: "I heard Princess Chen mention King Chen before, and when I saw it today, it was true.."
Hearing her talk about Yan Jiaxin, Yun Mengchen's action of wanting to leave stopped again, only stared at her coldly and did not speak, and when the atmosphere was about to be embarrassing again, Qi Xiao asked the doubts in his heart for him: "The girl knows my princess?" ”
"I had to see it once not long ago, but it's weird and distressing."
"When?"
Hearing Yun Mengchen's question, Qi Xiao was a little surprised that the prince of his family took the initiative to talk to others? But he also wanted to know when his princess had met the girl.
The woman thought for a moment, and finally said only two words: "Antidote.."
"The girl is from the Flower Pavilion?"
Hua Qinghui smiled lightly and looked at him noncommittally: "Is there any urgency to see you like this?" Finally, he looked at Qi Xiao.
"Oh, my prince and I are looking for the princess, I wonder if the girl has ever seen my princess?" As soon as he finished asking, Qi Xiao felt a cold gaze flying towards him at the speed of light. "Well, we still have something to do, so we won't bother the girl!"
Seeing that they wanted to leave, Hua Qinghui smiled: "Hey, you go to the rockery in the Imperial Garden, I just seem to have seen her there!" ”
There was a pause: "Thank you, girl!" "It's still as cold and hard as ever, but Qi Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yun Mengchen's reply, at least what happened just now, the prince of his family shouldn't punish him...
"No thanks, King Chen, remember, my name is Hua Qinghui!"
The woman's voice was still coming from behind him, but Qi Xiao didn't dare to come out again, now the top priority was to find his princess first, otherwise who would save him if the volcano erupted...
After they all left, Sima Jingshu came out of the dark corner and looked at the direction Hua Qinghui left: "Go and find out where this woman named Hua Qinghui came from?" "This is when she comes out to find someone who can meet a woman who dares to come and rob her of a man, Sima Jingshu is really angry!
And Yan Jiaxin lost the person after following Ning Weijin out, but in the next moment, he was taken captive behind the rockery, and when he saw the person's face clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked, this person was so seriously injured, normal people can't get out of bed without recuperating for ten days and half a month, right?
But his complexion at the moment is not only unusual, but even the shot just now is as fast as lightning, she is targeted by this kind of person to make a deal with him, will it not end well?
Ning Weijin controlled her hands with one hand, and covered her mouth with one hand and pressed her against the hidden place of the rockery: "Little girl, are you looking for me?" The playful words, looking at her eyes, a trace of panic flashed, and the evil smile on Ning Weijin's face deepened.
He let go of the hand covering her mouth, and his bony fingers slid across her face: "What, you miss me after only two days of not seeing me?" ”
Listening to his flirtatious tone and movements, Yan Jiaxin frowned and turned her head: "Shameless!" You let go of me!! "The position of her wrist really hurts..
Because the two of them are close, Yan Jiaxin's outfit today has a very ethereal temperament, which makes him feel very pleasing to the eye, but the fine beads of sweat on her forehead are a little disturbing, and the movement of her frowning when he moves her hand also aroused his suspicions, he looked at her wrist, and the little bruise that was exposed attracted his attention.
Let go of her hand and lift her sleeve, a clear finger bruise imprinted on her white arm is unusually eye-catching! Ning Weijin looked at her with a gloomy light: "Yun Mengchen beat her?!" The tone was very angry.
Breaking free of his hand, Yan Jiaxin pulled her sleeves well: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you!" ”
Seeing that she resisted and defended that person, Ning Weijin let out a wave of anger, grabbed her wrist with one hand, and pinched her chin with the other: "Your business?!" Don't forget that you're my Ning Weijin now, and if you don't want the necklace and your father's life, you'll just get hurt again! ”
