Tao Wan went to boil a pot of water and brought it over, and made a cup of tea for Yun Dai by herself.

Yun Dai said: "Princess Yi doesn't have to be busy, the palace will leave after speaking." ”

Tao Wan stood quietly.

"The envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty came to Beijing and asked to hold a riding and archery competition with our Great Zhou, and several women were needed to participate." Yun Dai said, "Princess Yi knows, there are not many women in the Great Zhou Dynasty who are good at riding and shooting. Hongu remembers that your riding archery is very good. I wonder if you'd like to participate? ”

Tao Wan lowered his head: "In this matter, the concubine can't be the master." You have to ask the prince. ”

Yun Dai frowned: "Are you willing to do it yourself?" ”

"The prince asked me to participate, and I participated. If the prince does not agree...... The concubine can only say sorry to the queen. Tao Wan replied meekly.

What the situation.

Yun Dai wondered in her heart.

This Tao Wan, when he was drafted, was obviously a cheerful and confident character.

Where is there such an unassertive docile appearance as now.

It has only been a few months, and it is also surprising that he has been obediently obeyed by Zhao Yuan and Xun.

Yun Dai asked, "What about King Yi?" ”

"The prince is in the study."

"Take Hongu to him."

"The mother is here with the concubine." Tao Wan led Yun Dai to Zhao Yuanhe's study.

There was a fire burning in the study, and although it wasn't warm, it wasn't as cold as outside.

Zhao Yuanhe was sitting cross-legged on a chair, with a look of anticipation in front of him.

He pinched a chess piece and tilted his head slightly, as if he was looking at the chessboard, but as if he was not looking at anything.

Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and smiled, "The imperial sister-in-law is here." ”

Yun Dai's footsteps paused slightly.

"Sister-in-law don't be surprised, I can't see it." Zhao Yuanhe said softly, "Do you know, since I was a child, there were only various voices in my world. In fact, the sound of each person's walk is different and unique. ”

Yun Dai walked up to him and asked, "What is the footsteps of this palace?" ”

"The footsteps of the imperial sister-in-law are light, but not frivolous. It can be seen that the imperial sister-in-law is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Zhao Yuanhe pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "The imperial sister-in-law should be a person who is determined and will not compromise easily. ”

Yun Dai said: "You can go to the stall to tell the fortune and be a magic stick." ”

Zhao Yuanhe said with a smile: "Don't talk about the imperial sister-in-law, I really studied with the master for a few days, after all, this king is really very idle." ”

"Idle enough to meddle with other people's business?"

"That's none other than Uncle Xiaohuang." Zhao Yuanhe said, "Actually, this king just doesn't understand, why should the emperor have supreme rights? Why can the emperor kill and take away his life at will? Why can't others think about the woman the emperor likes? Imperial sister-in-law, they all say that you are an extremely smart woman, can you tell this king? ”

When Yun Dai heard this, she felt that this King Yi was probably still affected by childhood trauma, so she had the paranoid thoughts she has now.

"I can answer your third question." Yun Dai said, "If you mean this palace, this palace is already a wife and a mother. This has nothing to do with whether the man in the palace is the emperor or not. It's about morality. ”

Zhao Yuanhe said: "If the imperial sister-in-law has not married and has children, can others think about it?" ”

"Men are unmarried, women are unmarried, naturally they can."

"In this way, this king has another question for the imperial sister-in-law."

"You ask."

"Why in this world, a man can have three wives and four concubines, but a woman must start from the beginning?" Zhao Yuanhe asked.

Yun Dai laughed when she heard this.
