After Mrs. Hou sat down, she was a little absent-minded, so the work of answering fell on Jiang Yingliang.

The concubine was so enthusiastic, she couldn't snub the other party, so she could only continue the other party's words with a faint smile.

The three of them chatted until lunchtime, Jiang Yingli only felt that her mouth was dry, and the concubine stopped talking at this time and said with a smile: "Look at the sun, when it's time for lunch, Mrs. and I can use some together." ”

Mrs. Hou also came back to her senses at this time: "It is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you for your hospitality." ”

The concubine chuckled, and then asked the palace ladies to set the table and start the banquet, and at the dinner table, Mrs. Hou, who had been silent since then, rarely took the initiative to start a conversation with the concubine.

"Guifei Niangniang, is there something big happening in the palace now? Why did you suddenly summon our family to the palace? What does the concubine know? ”

Seeing that her mother was so uncontrollable, Jiang Yingli became a little worried for a while, and subconsciously pulled her mother's sleeve, but Mrs. Hou just pulled her sleeve back, and her eyes were still staring at the concubine seriously.

After the concubine smiled, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and explained: "The palace did hear some rumors, today the emperor summoned the Hou Ye into the palace, it seems to be very angry, the palace stayed with the emperor last night, so I heard the emperor say that he wants to punish the Hou Ye today." ”

"What! Punish! Hearing this, Mrs. Hou stood up violently, looking frightened, and prepared to leave without waiting for the concubine's reaction.

Jiang Yingli didn't expect Mrs. Hou to be so uncontrollable, now it's not in the Hou Mansion, it's in the palace, and her mother has already trespassed.

She hurriedly got up and stopped Mrs. Hou, and whispered into her ear: "Mother, have you forgotten what Master Hou explained?" ”

"Now that the two of us are in the palace, you have just trespassed, you can't do anything out of the ordinary anymore, let people seize the handle, if you hurt the Hou Ye because of this, how can you deal with yourself."

Jiang Yingliang's words were like a basin of cold water poured on her head, Mrs. Hou suddenly calmed down, she subconsciously looked at the concubine opposite, the latter seemed to be smiling at this time, but she was not angry.

Jiang Yingli helped Mrs. Hou to sit down and explained to the concubine: "Concubine Niangniang, my mother is worried about Master Hou, so she is a little rude, and I ask the concubine Niangniang to forgive." ”

The concubine raised her eyebrows and waved her hand generously and said: "Don't worry, this palace is not such a stingy person, I also understand Mrs. Hou, I won't worry about her, you two should hurry up and sit down and continue to eat." ”

When Jiang Yingli heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then sat down, and continued to accompany the concubine to eat, and after lunch, the concubine still did not leave, but continued to stay in the palace to entertain the two.

Jiang Yingli always felt that something was wrong, the concubine's behavior today was abnormal, which really made people have to suspect that the two were not let go by the concubine until the evening.

"I don't know what she wants to do when she stays with us for so long today, she doesn't ask about her guilt, she doesn't explain the reason, but she looks like she's delaying time." After Mrs. Hou got into the carriage, she couldn't help but take Jiang Yingliang's hand and said carefully.

Jiang Yingli looked left and right vigilantly, patted Mrs. Hou's hand casually and cautiously and said, "Mother, now that we are in the palace, we still have to be cautious, let's go to the imperial study to find Master Hou first, and then take a look at the situation." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou sighed: "I was reckless today and almost implicated you, I know, I will calm down." ”

Suddenly, the carriage stopped with a "clang", Jiang Yingli frowned after holding on to the wall of the carriage to stabilize his body, and then lifted the curtain and looked at the people outside: "What's the matter?" ”

Jing'er came up and said to Jiang Yingliang: "Miss, someone stopped our carriage and didn't let us leave. ”

Jiang Yingli frowned when she heard this, comforted Mrs. Hou and let her stay in the carriage, then got up and got out of the carriage, looking at the luxurious carriage in front of her, Jiang Yingli faintly felt a little familiar.

After the curtain was lifted and saw the human face revealed, Jiang Yingli couldn't help frowning, but he still stepped forward and saluted: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Wan'an." ”

The fourth prince got out of the car lightly, walked up to Jiang Yingli and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, where are you going?" I saw that this was the way to the imperial study, could it be that Miss Jiang Yingli was going to face the saint. ”

Jiang Yingliang smiled wryly: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince guessed accurately, the courtiers really want to go to the imperial study with their mother to see the Hou Ye." ”

The fourth prince said in a deep voice: "I probably know why you want to go to the imperial study, but Miss Jiang, listen to my advice, now there is no one you want to see in the imperial study, so let's go home." ”

Jiang Yingli looked at him in surprise when he heard this: "What does His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince mean by this?" ”

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows and sold directly: "If Miss Jiang believes me, go back to the house and wait first, and everything will be clear." ”

Jiang Yingli had a guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to make the decision alone, and after saluting the fourth prince, he turned around and returned to the carriage and told Mrs. Hou what he had said.

Mrs. Hou was silent for a moment and then said, "Yingli, go home." ”

Although I don't know why Mrs. Hou believed the words of the four princes, since they had already made up their minds, Jiang Yingli couldn't refute it anymore, nodded and said hello to the four princes and returned to the carriage.

The two carriages drove straight towards the Hou Ye's Mansion, and when they arrived at the gate of the Hou Ye's Mansion, Mrs. Hou entered the mansion with Jiang Yingliang, and the four princes followed closely behind.

"Master Hou, you're back." As soon as Mrs. Hou entered the house, she saw Hou Ye standing in the courtyard, and her eyes were red with excitement, and she stepped forward and grabbed Hou Ye's arm.

Hou Ye was also relieved to see the two of them coming back completely: "Fortunately, both of you are back." ”

Jiang Yingli frowned when he saw the two of them hugging each other, and found the four princes who followed in, sighed and stepped forward to entertain each other, leading people to the main hall.

Jiang Yingli asked Jing'er to serve tea to people: "I have to thank His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince today, otherwise I am afraid that I will provoke the wrath of the saint." ”

The fourth prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ding Shi is very steady in doing things with me, but now, he is just helping his family, so he doesn't need to be so polite." ”

Hearing the Fourth Prince's initiative to talk about Qiu Muyun, Jiang Yingli subconsciously asked: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Ding Shi is still dedicated to doing things with you, he sometimes speaks without thinking, you must not worry about him." ”

The fourth prince smiled when he heard this: "This is serious, Ding Shi has always done things safely, and he is also very effective under me, you must not have no confidence in him." ”

Jiang Yingli smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, listening to the praise of the fourth prince to Ding Shi, Jiang Yingli was still very happy in his heart.

The two talked a lot about Qiu Muyun, and when the time was about the same, the fourth prince seemed to be in a hurry, so he left first.
