The sun rises in the east, and everything is gilded.

By the time Tang Ying opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day, and the colorful sunlight shone through the carved window. A little bit of brilliance is dazzling and gorgeous.

"Xiaohui." Tang Ying propped herself up and whispered.

Xiaohui seemed to have been ready for a long time, and walked in with a golden basin of Jinpa.

"Princess, are you better?" Xiaohui asked cautiously while waiting for Tang Ying to change clothes and wash.

Tang Ying was slightly stunned, and there seemed to be some incomplete pictures in her mind, "Oh, it's much better, I suddenly contracted the wind and cold Xiaohui yesterday and worked hard for you." Let's go and rest early. ”

"Princess."

Tang Ying really didn't remember what happened last night, thinking that she had watched her all night.

Thinking of this, Xiaohui opened her mouth to explain, but remembered Lu Zhan's words when she left, so she had to keep silent.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ying saw that she wanted to speak again.

Xiaohui shook her head, "No, it's nothing. ”

Suddenly, I remembered that there was indeed something, "Princess, Aunt Ziqing in the palace said that the Queen Mother will let you enter the palace in the afternoon." ”

Dowager?

"But what is it?" Tang Ying said.

Xiaohui shook her head.

Tang Ying didn't care about the affairs of the heavenly family, not to mention that she couldn't control it, so she didn't ask more.

It's just that......

After hesitating, Tang Ying still said in a low voice, "When did Lu Zhan leave last night?" ”

"If you go back to the princess, Lu Shizi will leave not long after you return to the room. But the slave thinks about the son, and maybe there are other things to deal with. "Unable to tell the truth, Xiaohui can only help Lu Zhan as much as possible.

"He does have something, isn't Miss Cheng still waiting for him." After speaking, Tang Ying didn't want to mention a word more.

Xiaohui saw that she was self-defeating, so she didn't dare to say more.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the palace sent a foot chariot to pick up people. Xiao Huicai said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's time for us to enter the palace." ”

Tang Ying bowed her head, looked around and saw no one in sight, and asked, "By the way, what about the void wind?" Why haven't you seen him all day? ”

The void wind is in Lu Zhanna, the reason...... Xiaohui can't say.

"Princess, Xufeng has some things to deal with first today, and this side will be replaced by his subordinates for the time being." He Jun, find the right time to show up and explain.

Tang Ying is not a person who likes to talk to death, even if she is very displeased in her heart. She didn't say anything on her face, just nodded, "There is Lao He to guard." ”

The group entered the palace gate in this way.

He Jun, as a man and a guard, can only be in the outer hall. Xiaohui can follow Tang Ying into the queen mother's bedroom.

But not long after entering the palace, I heard Ziqing say: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Queen Mother has something to reward you." Can you let the slaves and maids around you go and get them with the old slaves? ”

"It's nature." Tang Ying smiled decently.

Xuan even saw that Xiaohui was taken down by Ziqing.

In the palace of Nuoda, only Tang Ying and the Queen Mother who sat in a high position remained.

Before entering, Tang Ying carefully looked at the Queen Mother of Nanyue, and said that she was already fifty miles away. It can be maintained very well, and although the outfit is luxurious, it is not vulgar.

A pair of fox eyes are even more beautiful and lifelike. At most, she looks like a charming young woman, and she is not old at all.

"Erchen, I have seen the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an. "Tang Ying, the etiquette is thorough, and she first gave a proper salute to the people in the high position.

"Princess Protector, it's too outward. Have a seat. The mourning family summoned you here today just to chat with you. The Queen Mother smiled kindly.

Get!

Originally, Tang Ying was not sure, but now she understands that the Queen Mother of Nanyue is really looking for her.

Half an hour later, Tang Ying walked out of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The face is not good, nor is it bad. Xiaohui received a bunch of rewards and followed behind Tang Ying, "Princess, what did the Queen Mother say to you?" ”

If you deliberately support her, it will be a shameful thing.

Xiaohui had experienced a lot when she was in the Tang Mansion, and now she is smarter with Tang Ying.

"She gave me two choices, one that goes my way now, and one that might go my way in the future." Tang Ying, her eyes darkened.

"Princess, the slave doesn't understand." Xiaohui said truthfully, this sounds similar.

Who would have thought of Tang Ying, but said: "Actually, I don't understand it very well. ”

"Huh?" Xiaohui was stunned.

The master of her family, such a smart person, also has times when he doesn't understand.

At this moment, another woman dressed as a palace maid walked over. The reason why she caught Tang Ying's attention was not because of what she said.

Instead, she didn't say anything, but handed Tang Ying a small piece of paper.

The palm-sized paper was pinched in Tang Ying's hand in an instant. When I looked up and wanted to ask one or two, I found that the other party was nowhere to be found.

"Princess?" Xiaohui also saw this scene and was very stunned.

Tang Ying shook her head silently, and then hurriedly walked towards the outside of the palace with Xiao Hui's footsteps.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Tang Ying unfolded the small paper. And looking at the above content, Tang Ying's willow eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

"Princess, what's written on this?" It's really not that Xiaohui is suspicious, but since she met the queen mother, her master seems to be a little wrong.

As for what is wrong, Xiaohui can't say.

"Empress, she asked me to go to the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion tonight for a gathering." Tang Ying said, unfolding the small paper.

Xiaohui glanced at it, said nothing, and looked at He Jun quietly.

At this moment, the carriage had arrived at the princess's mansion.

After Tang Ying was brought into the mansion, He Juncai said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that you are going to the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion tonight?" ”

"Yes." Tang Ying replied.

"Does the guard have an opinion?" If it was in the past, Tang Ying would not have spoken to him like this.

After all, He Jun is Lu Zhan's confidant.

"Princess, the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion is the queen's mother's house, and the queen has only the princess under her knees. The relationship with His Royal Highness King Ning is quite close, so he ......, "He Jun, I want to stop talking."

From time to time, he peeked at Tang Ying, he was really not as good as the false wind in terms of playing tricks.

Of course, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Tang Ying.

"I know. But since the queen is affectionate, do you think I refused? Tang Ying didn't answer the rhetorical question.

He Junden was speechless.

After a while, he said: "Then dare to ask the princess, what did the Queen Mother say to you?" ”

The Queen Mother had just finished talking to her, and the Queen sent someone. Obviously, if you want to figure out the ins and outs of this matter, I am afraid that you have to work the Queen Mother.

"It's nothing, the Queen Mother just gave me two choices." Tang Ying repeated what she had just said to Xiaohui.

But the rest of the words are not for a reason.

"You don't have anything to tell me?" Tang Ying asked tentatively.

This time, no matter how foolish He Jun is, he also knows you in Tang Ying's mouth. It is not him, but his master Lu Zhan.

But......

He Jun hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Subordinate, no." ”

"What about Lu Zhan?" Seeing him like this, Tang Ying couldn't hold her breath.

But as soon as she said it, she regretted it, "If he still wants to say those useless things, he doesn't have to waste any more time." ”

Unexpectedly, He Jun was silent.

At first, Tang Ying thought that He Jun was thinking about how to explain, so he was not in a hurry but waited patiently.

But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Tang Ying found that He Jun, although he had been frowning, he had no intention of opening his mouth at all.

So he's — really there's nothing to explain?

Tang Ying said unhappily: "He Guard, didn't you hear what I said?" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, your subordinates have heard. It's just ...... "He Jun, I'm in a dilemma for a while."

"That's it, anyway, it's okay today, I'll go to the Shizi Mansion by myself. But I didn't go to Lu Zhan, I just wanted to see the housekeeper Lao Lin. Tang Ying said deceptively.

This excuse is too bad for anyone to deceive.

Can......

"Princess, my subordinates looked at the darkness of the day, as if a heavy rain had fallen. or ......" He Jun said spitting, half-covering and half-concealing.

Tang Ying's peach blossom eyes were stained with frost and snow, and her voice suddenly cooled, "What else?" ”

"Otherwise, let's not go out and stay at home." He Jun stiffened his head and said.

Xiaohui was also busy helping, "Princess, didn't you talk about wanting to eat peach blossom cake yesterday." It just so happened that today the slave and maid ordered someone to buy it back. Would you like to try it, princess? ”

Tang Ying is no one, not to mention, He Jun and Xiaohui's performance is too deliberate.

"You don't want me to die? Why? Tang Ying's face was as cold as snow, and she said with some threat: "It's better to tell the truth, otherwise I'll go immediately." ”

Did something happen to Lu Zhan?

Still is......

Tang Ying's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and the only bit of composure on her face would collapse at any time.

"Princess, this is what the master means, mainly because the master is ...... Inconvenience. He Jun's heart trembled, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.

Xiaohui lowered her head and lowered her eyes, her hand pinched the handkerchief tightly, and she didn't dare to come out.

"Inconvenient?" Tang Ying's frost and snow were in her heart, her body was in the cold winter, and the blood on her lips faded cleanly, "Did he let you say that?" ”

"Is it because Cheng Xuening is here?"

No, of course not.

Even if there are a hundred Cheng Xuening, it is not worth a princess. He Jun thought so inwardly. But he didn't dare to say a word on his face.

Lu Zhan's warning, He Jun did not dare to forget.

What's more, Xufeng also said that whether Lu Zhan can survive today is the key. Don't go wrong, if Tang Ying goes to see everything, wouldn't it be ......

So He Jun could only be silent.

Let anyone who sees his expression at the moment think that this is a tacit acquiescence.

"I see. It's me who doesn't know who bothers them. Tang Ying pulled her lips and smiled coldly.

Xiaohui looked at the master who turned around and left, and hurriedly wanted to catch up, but was stopped by He Jun, "Let the princess be quiet by herself." ”

"But......" Xiaohui said anxiously, "I'm afraid that the princess will get worse and worse the more she thinks about it." ”

And that's not the case.

"Then you think the princess would be happier to know the truth? Or do you think that the prince will not be affected when he sees the princess suddenly appear? He Jun frowned and asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Hui's eyes immediately appeared. When Lu Zhan walked away at dawn yesterday, he could barely stand still. The entire center of gravity is supported by the void wind and He Jun.

But even so, he still insisted on saying, "Don't tell Tang Ying about this, I don't want her to worry about it anymore." ”

"But...... Hey......" let out a long sigh, and Xiaohui didn't know what to say for a while.

On the contrary, it was He Jun, looking into the distance with a gloomy expression. He said in a low voice: "Only when people last for a long time can they have a future." It will be fine, after all, the master and the princess are such good people. ”

Will it?

Xiaohui felt that it was difficult because of this period of getting along. She has gradually begun to understand Tang Ying, and understands that Tang Ying is not a person who cannot endure hardships.

She just doesn't want to be deceived, and she doesn't want to accept that others do what they think is good for her.

The night was quiet, and the insects chirped.

The Marquis Mansion of the Kingdom of Koning is destined to be unquiet tonight, first of all, the queen who is the mother of a country. appeared in the mansion in a black robe and plain clothes, and then was the newly canonized princess of the country, and was quietly invited into the mansion with a side door.

"Erchen, I've seen the queen mother." According to the rules, Tang Ying said.

The queen who has only one side to her, under plain clothes and moonlight. However, it seems that the elements in the palace are much more elegant and tranquil than that day. A face with a little powder is also more and more tender like water.

"You're welcome, princess. You may be seated. "Queen," Shi Shiran said with a smile.

Tang Ying then sat down, and Xiao Hui stood aside and waited.

With the experience of the past, Xiaohui thought that she was quickly taken away. I didn't think that the queen didn't say anything from beginning to end.

Of course, behind her stood her personal maid.

After looking at it, Tang Ying recognized that this was the palace maid who passed the small paper to her in the palace.

"I don't know what happened to the queen mother, what happened to the late-night interview?" Tang Ying went straight to the point.

Roundabout and tempting, Tang Ying is not unwilling.

It's just that since the queen didn't ask her to be in the palace, hiding people's eyes and ears is one thing, and the other side is also explaining. The queen needs to talk to Tang Ying more deeply.

"Princess, do you think Lu Shizi's eyes are very good-looking?" Queen, don't answer the rhetorical question.

There was still a weak and gentle smile on her face, but in Tang Ying's opinion. The weaker the outward object, the sharpest the inside.

The appearance is cold, but the heart will be soft.

After returning to his mother, Lu Shizisheng's posture was good, and his expression was also good. It is indeed a rare beautiful man, but compared to King Ning, the first beautiful man in Jinling City, it is still a step behind. Tang Ying replied.

The queen smiled when she heard this, and a pair of jade hands tapped lightly on the table, "Princess Protector, this palace, is talking about Lu Shizi's fox eyes." Or the palace to put it another way, the princess saw the queen mother today. Do you feel déjà vu? ”

If it is said that the emperor and Lu Zhan are somewhat similar, it can be reluctantly explained that good-looking men are somewhat similar.

If the Queen Mother and Lu Zhan are still alike, then this matter may not be easy to explain.

"Nope." Tang Ying shook her head calmly, "Shu Erchen was clumsy, and he didn't see the similarity. And in the past, Lu Shizi also entered the palace. Could it be that at that time, some people thought that Lu Shizi was similar to the emperor and the queen mother? ”

In the last remark, Tang Ying asked extremely sincerely.

It's really like an innocent and ignorant child, who humbly asks his mother for advice when he encounters a problem.

"Princess Protector, just because you were safe and quiet in the past doesn't mean that you will be okay now." The queen said softly and softly on her face, without the slightest displeasure. But the coldness under the eyebrows and eyes is still there.

"Of course, the princess was angry with the palace because of King Ning's move. This palace can also be understood, but in this deep palace. What does the princess of the protector know what she is most afraid of? The queen asked.

Tang Ying shook her head and signaled that she didn't know, "Please also ask the queen mother to make it clear." ”

"The most fearful thing is that some people claim to be smart, but they don't distinguish between friend and foe." Queen, smiled lightly. He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

Tang Ying, a scholar, also picked up the teacup. pursed his lips and took a drink, and then said: "Then the queen mother, can you tell Lu Shizi what his identity is?" ”

Since friend or foe are mentioned.

Friends should always be honest with each other, right?

"Princess Protector, you are really smart. In the past, the palace didn't believe in anything, and the reincarnation of the emperor said. But now Hongu is a little bit convinced. ”

Tang Ying smiled and said nothing.

After a moment, he said: "There are some things, whether you believe or don't believe it, it's all in one thought. ”

didn't make any promises from Tang Ying's mouth, and the queen finally couldn't sink it. had to say: "Regarding Lu Shizi's family background, the princess of the protector should be clear. The Lu family is a hereditary title, and the prince of Lu died in a battle in the line of duty, and his wife also died in a thin face. So even if Lu Shizi was stupid and dull at first, he was the only descendant. or was canonized as the prince. ”

Tang Ying nodded, about the past of the Lu family.

The memory of the original host is still there, not to mention that this is also a well-known thing.

"But the Nanyue Emperor has a lot of relatives, and as far as his sons know. Strictly speaking, the Lu family is not even a side branch of the royal family. In this way, Lu Zhan is similar to the emperor and the queen mother.

It's a bit of a surprise.

Hearing this, the queen smiled, raised her eyes and stared at Tang Ying for a moment before saying, "The princess who protects the country doesn't know anything." The Queen Mother gave birth to a pair of twins that year. The emperor is the younger brother, and King Jing is the elder brother. ”

Twins?

Tang Ying was stunned, "Ke Erchen heard that twins have always been a symbol of bad luck in the royal family. ”

Especially the two princes, it is rumored that they will generally give up the big to protect the small.

So this ......

"Unlucky, indeed unlucky. But how the Queen Mother kept these sons at that time, the palace doesn't know. This palace only knows King Jing, although he avoided disasters when he was a child. But after all, Fu Qian's life was thin, and he just reached the age of the weak crown, so he died of illness and didn't even leave a post. At this point, the queen paused, "But then someone said that Princess Jing at that time was pregnant, but in order to avoid her son from repeating the mistakes of the past." only then did he hide the matter, and the day Princess Jing gave birth to her child. It happened to be almost the same as the day Lu Shizi was born. ”

"Queen Mother, do you mean ......" Tang Ying's words were about to come out.

In the end, he was told by the queen's sentence "Princess Protector, the palace didn't say anything." "Interrupt.

Tang Ying stopped talking in time.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

In the end, it was the queen who broke the silence, "Princess, this palace has said so much. Can the princess tell me what the Queen Mother said to you today? ”

The queen is the most noble woman in this harem, but the premise is that there is no queen mother.

If there is a queen mother, then the queen will become one of the most noble women. But most people don't want to do this.

"The Queen Mother didn't say anything, she just said that she was the champion of the last palace fight, and some people were just finalists." Tang Ying said unhurriedly, her voice like a breeze.

It's just that she's some.

I don't know if there is a difference with what the queen just said.

The queen's gentle and gentle face cracked instantly, "Okay, very good, the princess who protects the country is really extraordinary." ”

"Wonderful mother. The son was ashamed and didn't dare to be. ”
