After being entangled with Emperor Jianyuan in the palace for most of the day, Xie Yanhe shed tears for a long time, and his spirit could not hold it for a long time.

On the carriage back home, Xie Yanhe fell asleep in the maid's arms because he couldn't stand the sleepiness that swept in.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion until the green calyx woke her up: "County lord, it's outside the gate of the eldest princess's mansion."

Xie Yanhe opened his eyes in an instant. At that glance, it was as if a sharp sword was unsheathed, and the chill in his eyes penetrated the bone marrow.

The green calyx was startled by her, and almost didn't sit still.

Xie Yanhe saw Lu Cao's frightened expression, he couldn't help rubbing his forehead, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

As soon as Xie Yanhe walked to the hanging flower gate in the inner courtyard, the palace attendants arrived with a long list of rewards with her.

After Xie Yan and received the order to thank him, he took a box of blood swallows and a set of sapphire heads from the emperor and went to the Chunhui Hall where the eldest princess lived every day.

"Yan He is here."

When the eldest princess saw her granddaughter, her beautiful and serious face suddenly showed a loving smile.

"Grandmother ......"

Although Xie Yan and a pair of eyes had been cold compressed in the palace, they could still see the shallow wet red at the end of their eyes at this moment.

"Yan He, is this wronged in the palace?"

The eldest princess chuckled in her heart, thinking of the emperor's unusual thoughts for her granddaughter, and she was shocked. Could it be that the emperor couldn't help it? Did you do it to your granddaughter?

Xie Yanhe didn't want his grandmother to worry, so he said lightly that the crown princess wanted to invite him to the East Palace as a guest, but not only did he not succeed, but he was robbed of palace power by His Majesty.

The eldest princess was very angry when she heard this, and said hatefully: "The Chen family deceives people too much, such an immoral person, how will he be the mother of the world in the future."

Xie Yanhe hurriedly stepped forward and patted the eldest princess's back, lest the old man be angry.

She said softly: "Grandmother don't worry, even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the Chen family will not be able to kill them all."

The eldest princess waved her hand, and she was no longer in the mood to talk to her granddaughter: "Yan He, after a day of traveling, you are also tired, go back and rest."

Grandmother has always been cautious, Xie Yanhe understood that grandmother didn't want to talk about the East Palace anymore, she was extremely well-behaved to give the eldest princess a blessing, and retreated as she said.

Looking at her granddaughter's figure disappearing outside the curtain, the eldest princess frowned.

The smell of ambergris on the granddaughter's body is extremely heavy, and you don't have to think about it to know that Your Majesty and your granddaughter must be very close to each other, so that even the granddaughter's clothes are full of ambergris.

The worries in the eldest princess's heart have added to it, Her Majesty is eyeing her, and the princess regards her granddaughter as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, if she really waits for the day when the prince ascends the throne, will the princess really let go of the Xie family?

In the Chunhui Hall, the eldest princess was holding a cup of tea and did not enter for a long time.

Xie Yanhe returned to Jinglan Garden, where he was.

The maid brought hot water, Xie Yan and the washing work, and the kang table supported by the Luohan couch was already full of all kinds of delicate snacks.

Xie Yanhe used a piece of begonia cake, and ate a small half bowl of assorted noodles with rouge goose breast and pickled cucumbers.

Commanding the maid to remove the table, she beckoned Amber over and commanded.

"When I entered the palace today, His Majesty gave me a hot spring Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, which is halfway up the Yulong Mountain. There are many peach blossom trees planted in Zhuangzi, and I plan to hold a peach blossom banquet after the beginning of spring, and the list of ladies invited will be handled by you and Agate. A few princesses there, I personally went to deliver the post. ”

The mansion has its own process for holding banquets, and Xie Yanhe was trained by the Xie family according to the standards of the future queen.

The big and small maids around her are all going to follow her into the palace in the future, and all of them are smart and clever selected by thousands of people, and each big girl can take charge of herself and run a spring banquet at all.

Therefore, Amber was not flustered when she got the order, she only had one dilemma: "County Lord, do you want to post a ......post from the Chen family?"

"Not necessarily."

Xie Yanhe had already torn his face with Chen Rong, Emperor Jianyuan was still there, why should she endure the humiliation in her heart and go to make face for the Chen family.

"Yes, county lord." Amber complied.

Xie Yanhe beckoned Pearl over: "Tomorrow I will go to Daxiangguo Temple to make incense, you let the people below prepare."

Daxiangguo Temple paid tribute to her parents' everlasting lamp, Xie Yanhe originally planned to go over today, but His Majesty summoned him, so he could only postpone it until tomorrow.

After arranging the trivial matters, Xie Yan went to bed to rest, recalling her response in front of Emperor Jianyuan today, she always felt that something was wrong, and her grandmother's attitude towards His Majesty and the East Palace made her very puzzled.

In another month, his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Gu, will bring her cousin to the capital, leaving not much time for Xie Yanhe.

There are only two princesses in the palace who have not yet fallen, Princess Yichang and Princess Duanmin.

The two princesses are sisters from the same mother, Princess Duanmin is only ten years old, but Princess Yichang is fourteen years old, although the biological mother Hui Guiren is not favored, but His Majesty still loves the two princesses.

In the eyes of the prince, there have never been these concubine sisters.

The crown princess is even more narrow.

The two princesses were still friendly to the East Palace at the beginning, but they were slapped by the crown princess several times, and they completely hated the Chen family in a fit of anger.

They and Fuqing were originally good, but now that Fuqing is in charge of the palace, with Fuqing's ability, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to put the crown princess in the air.

As for His Royal Highness, Xie Yanhe didn't mind helping him.

The next day, Xie Yanhe took a car to Daxiangguo Temple, it was the time of the cold spring, and she was naturally afraid of the cold, and she was still wearing a winter skirt.

The maid wrapped Xie Yanhe in a heavy pearl purple velvet cloak, put on a Zhaojun cover, and wrapped her tightly, and then helped Xie Yanhe's men get out of the carriage.

Xie Yanhe added lamp oil to his parents' ever-bright lamp, kowtowed respectfully, and donated five hundred taels of silver to the temple for incense money.

Xie Yanhe wore a short jacket with pink cherry blossoms today, twelve light-colored Hunan skirts, combed double-ring buns, and a complete set of pearl heads, dressed very plain and beautiful.

Xie Yanhe only called Pearl to serve alone today.

She held the maid's arm, and as soon as she reached the halfway point of the mountain, she saw a long, upright figure standing in the Tingfeng Pavilion.

Xie Yanhe entered the pavilion, and there was freshly brewed tea on the stone table, and the steaming heat turned into a white mist in the cold air.

Her husband Gu Jiuheng was wearing a stone blue wide-brimmed shirt, wearing a dark crane, standing with his hands next to the tea table, his upright posture was like a clear pine on the rock, and his cold eyebrows were like snow in the mountains.

Seeing Xie Yanhe walking into the pavilion, Gu Jiuheng pushed the white-glazed tea cup on the stone table, and his voice was as clear as a flowing spring: "Taiping Houkui, there is nothing special about tea, but the water for making tea is taken from the spring water of Yuquan Mountain, and it is worth drinking."

"Thank you, sir."

Xie Yanhe finished saluting, picked up the tea cup on the stone table and tasted it, frowned, and showed a slightly playful smile: "I'm afraid that Mr. has said a word, this spring water has been soaked in plum rui, Mr. doesn't say it, is it testing me?"

"You girl......" Gu Jiuheng shook his head helplessly, and laughed loudly: "I just said one less thing, when did the exam questions for teachers become so simple?"

"That's right."

Xie Yanhe couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, a pair of peach blossom eyes, bright eyes, and fluctuating eyes.

Gu Jiuheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the girl who used to be arrogant, innocent and lovely, now became respectful and polite in front of her, and even the tips of her eyebrows seemed to be frowning, as if she had endless sorrow.

Gu Jiuheng felt a trace of pity in his heart.

The maid Pearl spread a thick brocade cushion on the stone bench, Xie Yanhe motioned to the maid to retreat outside the pavilion and wait, and then sat down on the stone bench: "Mr. asked me out today, is it just to invite me to tea?"

Gu Jiuheng stretched out his fingers hidden in the crane, under the winter sun, his ten knuckles were slender and like jade, and the roots were like jade, which was better maintained than the hands of many aristocratic girls.

Gu Jiuheng compared the teapot on the table.

Seeing this, Xie Yanhe smiled slightly and added a cup of tea to Gu Jiuheng.

She said softly: "Sir, when I came back from Jiangnan this time, I brought back a few famous chefs from Jiangnan. I remember that you once said that you have been to Jiangnan for ten years, and since then you have never forgotten the vinegar fish of West Lake in Yuelai Restaurant. One of the people I brought back this time is the second son of Chef Song, who is in charge of Yuelai Restaurant. ”

Gu Jiuheng's hand holding the teacup paused.

This female disciple of his, who is thoughtful and meticulous, always treats people with a warm and gentle manner.

Even though she was forced out of the capital for three years, her calm expression made people not see a trace of resentment, and her speech and demeanor were still very comfortable.

Gu Jiuheng was originally afraid that she would be raised by the soft water of the warm mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it seems that she is too worried.

"You've got a heart." Gu Jiuheng's eyes showed a hint of relief, "I haven't seen you for three years, and you are much more sensible than before." ”

Falling from the clouds into the dust, you can either collapse or fight to the end, and what can make you grow faster than this experience.

Xie Yanhe smiled, looked at the tea cup in his hand, and was slightly distracted.

Gu Jiuheng looked at it and sighed unconsciously, with a touch of pity in his eyes: "Yan He, Your Majesty will not accept any more concubines."

What do you mean, sir?!

Xie Yanhe's heart was shocked, if His Majesty decided to do so, would it mean that the crown prince's position was as stable as Mount Tai, then wouldn't all her plans in Jiangnan be in vain.

Xie Yanhe's fingers in his sleeves were constantly trembling, she was unwilling!

All of these things she had worked so hard to conspire for, she would never watch them come to naught.

Xie Yan and his slender nails sank deep into his palms, leaving five half-moon-shaped blood marks, and his mind was clearer.

I almost forgot the identity of the person in front of me!

Xie Yanhe lowered his eyelashes, hiding the surging under his eyes, his beautiful face even revealed a calm smile, and a pair of bright eyes with autumn water were shining.

"What do you mean by this, sir? What does the matter of Your Majesty's harem have to do with the daughter of a foreign minister? ”

Gu Jiuheng smiled meaninglessly.

He didn't expect that this disciple of his would even be on guard against him, a master, now. It seems that he has really grown up.

"Yan He, you must understand what it means to be a teacher. In addition, as a teacher, I must tell you that Your Majesty will never appoint the third prince as the prince. ”

Gu Jiuheng didn't mind piercing that layer of window paper with his own hands, breaking the little illusion that had always remained in his disciple's heart.

Xie Yanhe smiled to himself, is this a warning?
