Chapter 12: Making a Fool of Yourself

As soon as the three of them left the lobby, they saw Li leading Ye Zhinan towards him.

Today, Ye Zhinan wore a lilac cardigan skirt, with a crumbling butterfly hairpin on his head, which was even brighter and moving.

"The second lady is also becoming more and more slim," Gonggong Li said politely.

Ye Zhinan bowed slightly, "Thank you Gonggong Li for the compliment", then glanced behind Gonggong Li, and asked curiously, "Gonggong Li, what is the so-called matter when you come to Ye Mansion this morning?" ”

"Our family has been ordered by the Queen Mother, and Miss Xuan has entered the palace"

Ye Zhinan took a step back and nodded clearly, "I don't know what the Queen Mother is doing when she summons her eldest sister into the palace?" ”

"This ......" Gonggong Li looked at Ye Hecong with some embarrassment.

Ye Hecong hurriedly said: "Ask so much, what are you doing?" ”

"Hehe, seeing that it's not too early at this time, our family has to hurry back to the palace, don't let the Queen Mother wait for a long time"

"Father-in-law Li, please stay" Li saw that the person was leaving, and hurriedly stopped.

"Master, Gonggong Li, you might as well let Nan'er go with you, Ruotang has never entered the palace and doesn't understand the rules of the palace, if this is a collision with the Queen Mother.......... Nan'er also has a look for each other on the side."

When Gonggong Li heard this, he was immediately a little embarrassed, "But the queen mother only announced that the eldest lady entered the palace alone."

Ye Hecong thought for a moment on the side, and hurriedly said, "This Ruotang is a little boring, if he says something wrong and makes the Queen Mother unhappy, it will not be good."

Gonggong Li nodded, "Okay, let's go with our family."

In this way, Ye Zhinan entered the palace with the girl.

In the carriage, the two sat facing each other.

Ye Ruotang hadn't woken up yet, the carriage was bumping and up, and he was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed.

Ye Zhinan was sitting opposite, gritting his teeth, isn't it very embarrassing? See how I will make you ugly in front of the Queen Mother.

The carriage ran faster, and it had already arrived at the palace gate in less than an hour, and Gonggong Li's sharp voice sounded outside the carriage, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, it's here"

Ye Ruotang woke up slowly when he heard the sound and stretched his waist.

Ye Zhinan said disdainfully on the side, "Big sister is really casual, bring it back, don't lose the face of the Ye family in front of the Queen Mother"

The girl was too lazy to talk to her, and got out of the carriage by herself.

"Come with me, two of you."

The two of them followed behind Gonggong Li very well-behaved, and Ruotong would look around from time to time out of curiosity.

The Shoukang Palace where the Queen Mother lived was in the easternmost part, and when passing by a pool, Ye Ruotang stared at the carp inside for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed, which caused Gonggong Li and Ye Zhinan to look sideways.

"What's wrong with Miss Ye?" Gonggong Li asked.

Ye Ruotang hurriedly waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that I just saw a carp jumping up"

Ye Zhinan thought it was something rare, but when he heard this, he threw a roll of his eyes, "Big sister is looking at the road intently"

Gonggong Li said in front: "This has been rumored since ancient times that this carp can fly into a dragon after jumping the dragon gate."

Ye Ruotang chuckled, "Then it seems that this carp can only stay in this pool forever, but there is nothing wrong with staying in the pool, there are still people to feed if you are hungry."

"That's what the eldest lady said"

“..........”

The three of them walked through the palaces and walked for a long time before they reached the Shoukang Palace.

When she arrived, the queen mother was basking in the sun in the courtyard, and when she saw Ye Ruotang coming, she hurriedly stretched out her hand with a smile, "Ruotang girl, come over and show you a rare object"

Ye Ruotang lifted the skirt and trotted over, "Queen Mother, what rare objects?" ”

The Queen Mother took out a piece of blood-red jade from the box on the side and handed it to the girl, Ye Ruotang held it up and looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything special, "Queen Mother, isn't this an ordinary jade?" ”

"This jade is called blood jade, and it is a specialty of the Western Regions" A voice sounded behind her, and the Queen Mother heard the sound and saw that it was a woman with a raw face.

"Who is this?"

"Queen Mother, this is my second sister, come with me"

"Oh ~ give me a seat"

The palace maid standing behind her hurriedly brought a stool to the side, and Ye Zhinan sat down.

"Queen Mother, this blood jade is a treasure"

"What's the baby law?"

"This blood jade can be put on the body to warm up in winter, and it is also a holy thing to cool off in summer.

Hearing Ye Zhinan say this, Ye Ruotang looked at the blood jade carefully, "Queen Mother, don't say it, there is really a warm air flow in your hand."

"You girl is very clever and knows a lot" The Queen Mother cast an appreciative look.

"It's ugly in front of the Queen Mother, I also heard my father mention it by chance" Ye Zhinan finished speaking, lowered his head and smiled a little proudly.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and Concubine De are here," a palace maid came in outside the door to say.

"Let them in"

"Yes"

When Ye Ruotang and the others heard this, they quickly stood up and stepped aside.

"Son, please say hello to the emperor's mother"

"Concubine, please say hello to the Queen Mother"

"Get Up"

The queen and Concubine De were supported by the palace maid and sat on the right hand side of the queen mother.

"The folk girl sees the queen's mother, and the concubine is the mother" Ye Zhinan knelt down first, because Ye Ruotang didn't know him yet, he knelt a step slower.

"Get up," said the Queen.

"Queen Xie, Concubine De"

"Come, Ruotang girl sit here" The Queen Mother patted her left hand position, Ye Ruotang was in trouble for a while, if she passed, wouldn't this be on an equal footing with the queen and Concubine De? If you don't disobey the queen mother's decree in the past, how can this be good?

Just as he was in a dilemma, a hearty voice sounded outside the door.

"Today's Shoukang Palace is very lively."

Everyone looked over, and it turned out to be the second prince Yuxuan.

"Imperial grandmother, mother concubine" glanced at Concubine De with a flick of her eyes, and only nodded faintly.

"Xuan'er is here, sit next to the imperial grandmother"

Yu Xuan sat beside the Queen Mother, and Ye Ruotang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Queen, is this wind chill better?"

"Thank you for the Emperor's mother's memory, it's already good"

"Your body is already weak, you have to take care of it"

"The Emperor Who Knows"

"Concubine De, how are the preparations for the crown prince's canonization ceremony?"

"Please rest assured, everything is ready"

"This emperor has entrusted this matter to you, you have to do it well, don't make a joke in front of the world"

"Yes"

“..........”

Everyone was talking one by one, Ye Ruotang was sitting on pins and needles on the side, and kept looking around.

Concubine De seemed to have discovered something, and said, "I have always heard that this Ye Mansion's daughter, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient in everything, I wonder if I can feast my ears today?" ”

"Huh?" Ye Ruotang exclaimed in surprise, and was thinking about how to prevaricate the past, but Ye Zhinan on the side spoke.

"Yes, the big sister plays the pipa very well."

The Queen Mother was overjoyed, "If the Tang girl can still play the pipa?" ”

Ye Ruotang was completely dumbfounded, pipa? Which pipa will I do? It's over, it's over, it's completely over this time..........

"Come on, find the pipa," Concubine De said to the palace maid behind her.

After a while, the palace maid walked in with a pipa in her arms.

Ye Ruotang didn't reach out to take it for a long time.

"Why, isn't this pipa not easy to use?" Concubine De asked from the side.

"No....... It's not."

Die and die, die early and be born sooner..........

Ye Ruotang's heart was crossed, he took the pipa in the hand of the palace maid, and sat down hard.

Fingers on the strings, lingering.

Concubine De and the others were a little impatient, but the Queen Mother was still there, and she was not easy to attack.

"What's wrong?"

"I ...... I...... I just haven't figured out what song to play yet" Ye Ruotang smiled awkwardly, if this crack could get in, she couldn't wait to go in immediately.

"Just play your head"

"Good...... Good"

Yu Xuan saw the clue on the side, walked over with a smile and picked up the pipa in the girl's hand, and with a slight pluck of his two fingers, the strings were broken.

"Xuan'er........" the queen said in surprise.

"This pipa is not good" and then turned his head to look like Concubine De, "If Concubine De wants to listen to the pipa, I will call a few musicians to come over and listen to it for as long as you want."

Concubine De was deflated, and her face was very ugly, "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's concubine suddenly felt unwell, so she went back first"

“..........”

After Concubine De left, Yuxuan threw the pipa on the ground, "Fortunately, Ruotang didn't play, if this string hurts his hand, I'm afraid it will have to be raised for ten days and a half months."

Ye Ruotang got up and bowed slightly, "Thank you to the second prince"

"What's so polite with me? Besides, I didn't save you once or twice," Yuxuan said with a smile towards the girl.

Ye Zhinan on the side, tugging on his sleeves tightly, Ye Ruotang is lucky for you this time.

"Ruotang"

The "Queen Mother" girl walked to the Queen Mother's side.

"Come with me to the Imperial Garden"

The girl stretched out her hand and carefully supported the Queen Mother, "Okay"

"I heard that there are a lot of flowers blooming in the Imperial Garden."

"The emperor's grandmother didn't know, but my father introduced a lot of new flowers, which are strange and very beautiful."

Hearing Yu Xuan say this, the Queen Mother was even more happy, "Your father, what I love most in this life is those flowers and plants, if he is allowed to stay with them all day, he will be happy."

The three of them were walking towards the door, and Ye Ruotang found that Ye Zhinan didn't follow, so he asked, "Isn't the second sister with us?" ”

"Oh...... My head hurts, so I'll wait here for you to come back," he said, pretending to rub his head.

"Do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look?" Yuxuan asked.

"No, no need, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, and I'll be fine after resting."

"Then you can rest here now, and we'll be back in a while."

"Good"

Ye Ruotang and Yuxuan supported the Queen Mother on one side and walked towards the back garden.

Estimating that the three of them had walked away, Ye Zhinan hurriedly walked out of Shoukang Palace and walked towards Concubine De's bedroom.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the palace, I heard a crackling sound of things and shreds, and I settled down and walked in.

The palace maids all knew Ye Zhinan, so they didn't stop them.

Ye Zhinan went in to take a look, and saw debris all over the ground, and walked in cautiously on his tiptoes.

"Concubine De Niangniang......."

Concubine De was half-leaning on the soft collapse at this time, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm coming to see Concubine De, my father brought a letter to Concubine De"

When Concubine De heard this, she immediately withdrew from the palace maids who were waiting left and right, "What else did your father say?" ”

Ye Zhinan walked over and whispered something in Concubine De's ear.

Concubine De, who was still rainy just now, immediately turned cloudy and sunny, with a strange smile on her face.

"Go back and tell your father that if this happens, it will be indispensable for him."

"Yes," Ye Zhinan bowed slightly.

"Sit down"

Ye Zhinan found a stool and sat down.

"What did the Queen Mother call Ye Ruotang today, do you know?"

"I don't know" Ye Zhinan shook his head, and seemed to be wondering about this matter, "It's just that I think the queen mother loves her big sister very much."

"These two princes have also reached the age of marriage, could it be that the queen mother wants to marry Ye Ruotang to the second prince?" Concubine De thought with a frown.

"This can't be........" As soon as Concubine De's words came out, Ye Zhinan's heart sighed, if Ye Ruotang and the second prince ........ Wouldn't that be a pressure on yourself everywhere in the future, which is absolutely impossible.

"Concubine De, you have to think of a way"

"I see, you go back first"
