After about a cup of tea, An Zhiruo opened the curtain, looked around, and beckoned to Huantong.

"Little guard, the queen called you in."

Phantom Tong straightened his clothes and straightened his hat, as if he was going to the battlefield.

Walking up to the queen, Phantom Tong raised his head and let his face be clearly exposed in front of the queen. I saw the queen pluck the fingers of the rosary, and soon returned to normal, but this small movement was still captured by Phantom Tong.

"Who is your friend, and what do you want to say to Hongu?" The queen's voice was haughty, the kind of contempt that didn't care about everything.

Huantong looked around, in addition to the queen mother and the third prince, there were five or six maids and grandmothers standing in the room.

"Queen Mother, what I want to say may not be suitable for so many people to listen to."

The queen waved her hand impatiently, "Let's all go down." ”

The maids and grandmothers all withdrew in order, and the third prince was reluctant to leave, still sitting in the house. The queen glanced at him, "You can go out too." ”

The third prince slowly stood up and walked out of the house with some reluctance.

"Everyone is gone, you say." The queen propped her head on the table with one arm.

"The minister met the friend in the mausoleum, and he told the minister that the osmanthus cake in Huaning Palace was the most delicious in Kyoto City. If he wants me to have a chance to enter the palace, he will personally say thank you, he didn't eat less pastries in your palace when he was a child. ”

Huantong said very calmly, but the queen couldn't sit still. Huaning Palace has been changed to Huakun Palace for ten years, and Huantong directly called out Huaning Palace, which made the queen startled, and the later osmanthus cake also made the queen tremble.

More than ten years ago, Queen Nan Suli was still just a concubine, she often took the eldest prince Teng Zijin to Huaning Palace to eat osmanthus cakes, and over time or Teng Zijin's trust, she made her hands and feet in the pastry, so that Teng Zijin was sick and lay in the room for three months.

It was also during these three months that Empress Jing took care of Teng Zijin and was distracted, and Nan Suli took the opportunity to design and kill a palace maid who had been favored by the emperor and snatched her son, that is, the third prince.

Everyone in the harem knows that the third prince is not Nan Suli's biological son, but few people know how the biological mother of the third prince died.

Huantong suddenly mentioned the osmanthus cake, and Nan Suli thought of Teng Zijin who was unconscious on the bed, and the palace maid who was covered in blood. She looked at Phantom Tong, guessing his identity and the identity of his friend.

The first time she saw Phantom Tong, Nan Suli felt that he looked a little similar to the emperor, and now that the dusty old things were mentioned, she was even more convinced of Phantom Tong's identity.

Ten years ago, Nanshan was burned, and it was rumored that the eldest prince Teng Zijin was buried in the fire, but the body could not be found, and the search for people everywhere was unsuccessful, and Teng Zijin's life and death became a mystery. Nan Suli secretly investigated for two years, and found no shadow at all, so he decided that he was dead.

Who would have thought that after such a long time, Teng Zijin suddenly stood in front of him and talked about his childhood. The queen was a little flustered, she couldn't guess how much Huantong knew about the events of ten years ago, and she didn't know what the purpose of his trip was, because she couldn't see through it, so she was very flustered, and the rosary in her hand was dialed faster.

"Osmanthus cake has not been made for a long time, I'm afraid it will disappoint your friend, as for his thanks, I accept it, and leave if nothing happens."

The queen's speed of speech has obviously become faster, and she seems to want Huantong to leave quickly, and she is unwilling to talk to him more.

"Queen, some things are gone, but the facts and the truth will never change. It is a fact that the osmanthus cake in Huaning Palace is delicious, so it will be discovered by everyone sooner or later. ”

Phantom Tong was not nostalgic, and before the queen gave the eviction order, he took his leave first.

"It's not too early, it's inconvenient to disturb the queen's rest, so Weichen will leave first."

The Phantom Tong ceremony was thorough, so that people couldn't find anything wrong at all, even if the queen felt the threat of Phantom Tong, she had to let him leave.

The room soon fell silent, and the queen took a sip of the tea on the table, trying to suppress the resentment in her heart, but the tea had already cooled down.

The queen raised her hand and threw the teacup out, falling to the ground, the translucent bone china shattered, and the tea and tea also splashed on the ground.

"What's the matter, the tea is cold and I don't know if I want to get a new one, do you want to receive a penalty?"

The queen's voice was so loud that the maids standing outside the house felt deafening. The maids knew that the queen was angry and didn't dare to hit the muzzle, but they didn't dare to stand outside the house and pretend not to hear, but after a change of thought, they flocked into the queen's house and fell to their knees.

The queen glanced at An Zhiruo, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she suddenly had a plan.

"Zhiruo stays, the others go out, remember to come in with a cup of hot tea."

Now in this situation, no one wants to stay in this house for a long time, and after getting the queen's order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out, and did not forget to cast a sympathetic look at An Zhiruo before leaving.

An Zhiruo was also beating a drum in her heart, kneeling on the ground and not daring to move.

"Zhiruo, come here." The queen's voice became very gentle, like a spring breeze, which made An Zhiruo relax a lot.

An Zhiruo walked up to the queen, and the queen patted the soft couch beside her and let An Zhiruo sit beside her.

"I haven't talked about your sister for a long time, I miss her a lot, you must miss her too." The queen stroked An Zhiruo's back, like a kind mother.

An Zhiruo nodded.

"Today, you are allowed to leave the palace, go to the White Tiger Camp to find her, and then bring her to Huakun Palace, and we will have a good gathering together."

Hearing that she could go out of the palace to play and find her sister, An Zhiruo's eyes widened and she looked at the queen in disbelief. After getting the queen's reconfirmation, An Xiruo jumped up from the soft couch excitedly, and was very happy to rest for the queen.

"Thank you, Queen, thank you."

An Zhi did not delay, and set off happily after receiving the order.

Huantong left before An Zhiruo, and naturally returned to the White Tiger Camp earlier. As soon as I entered the settled house, I found that everyone was standing quietly in the courtyard, and no one dared to say a word. And under the tree in the courtyard, Zhao Xi was sitting on his couch, and he was drinking tea accompanied by Beitang Dai.

Seeing that Huantong was back, Ran Gui was the first to run over, leaned into Huantong's ear and whispered: "You can be regarded as coming back to join the army, this Zhao Gonggong has been waiting here for a long time." ”

Huantong looked at Zhao Xi, his heart was puzzled, he couldn't guess what he was doing here, but he also knew that it shouldn't be a bad thing, so he didn't worry too much.

"Father-in-law Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm delayed on the road, so I've kept you waiting." Without waiting for Zhao Xi to find Phantom Tong, Phantom Tong took the initiative to say hello.

"I don't have to wait, I'm fine, it's not bad to sit here for a while." Zhao Gonggong got up, and the holy decree in his hand was particularly eye-catching.

"What is the important matter of Grandpa Zhao?"

"Good thing, good thing."

Zhao Xi unfolded the holy decree, read it out in front of everyone in Ding'anju, and handed it over to Huantong.

"Congratulations to Situ Gongzi, he will be Siqi from now on."

Everyone in Ding'anju also rushed forward to congratulate, and Phantom Tong thanked everyone and promised to invite everyone to drink.

But Huantong felt that this chess game was very ridiculous, just playing a game of chess, he had such an official position, and it was too easy to be an official.

Although he thought so in his heart, Huantong still showed a happy look and insisted on leaving Zhao Xi to celebrate together. Zhao Xi naturally would not agree, from Ding'an Ju to the gate of the White Tiger Camp, Zhao Xi refused all the way, and only then could he get on the carriage back to the palace. Huantong stood at the gate, said goodbye to Zhao Xi very regretfully, and the smile on his face disappeared when he turned around, leaving only a tired face.
