Empress Dowager Zhao knows Zhong Yuqi's life experience, and Xiao Yulin knows. Hearing Qinglian's words, Xiao Yulin couldn't help but feel a tightening heart.

After considering the rhetoric, Xiao Yulin said to the Empress Dowager Zhao: "Queen Mother, Miss Zhong's memory of her childhood is missing, and her sons have never mentioned these things in front of Miss Zhong, and the people around Miss Zhong are not allowed to mention these things, why is this matter mentioned again?" ”

After speaking, Xiao Yulin pretended to be displeased and looked at Qiu Shi.

Qiu Shi hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yulin and said, "The slave is guilty!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao waved her hand and said, "It was the mourning family who asked, and this slave said it." Miss Zhong said that she was from Yunzhou, and Yunzhou was still far away from Shengjing, so the mourning family asked how you met her. ”

Xiao Yulin's heart breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh! Didn't Erchen go out to play in the mountains and rivers before? So I also got to know some people in the rivers and lakes. Miss Zhong's father was a dart, and Erchen met Master Zhong by chance, and on a whim, he walked with Master Zhong for a few days, and then he had a friendship. Later, Erchen also went to Miss Zhong's home a few times and became acquainted with Miss Zhong. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao frowned and said, "But Miss Zhong said that ten years ago, Miss Zhong's family had an accident and was seized by the clansmen. Later, he was caught by thieves and sold to the Huancai Pavilion. Ten years ago, you were only eight years old, and even further, you were younger, how did you know Master Zhong? ”

Xiao Yulin choked, and the hot sweat on his body because of the hurried walk turned into cold sweat at this time.

However, Xiao Yulin's reaction speed was not slow, and after only a little thought, Xiao Yulin said: "Erchen liked to play when he was a child, but he didn't go far away, only walked around Shengjing. That time, when Erchen went to Jizhou to play, he happened to meet Master Zhong from Jizhou to return to Yunzhou, so he secretly followed Master Zhong for a few days. Later, the queen mother came to look for her, and her son returned to Shengjing. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao also remembered that it was indeed true. But Xiao Yulin did not follow some "Master Zhong" escort darts, but followed Feng Miaoshou, and only asked someone to go back to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager Zhao.

Although Feng Miaoshou is a person in the rivers and lakes, he is a very famous figure, knowing that Xiao Yulin is the seventeenth prince, he will definitely not treat him well, and he will protect him well. Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao was not in a hurry to find Xiao Yulin to return to the palace at that time.

Xiao Yulin also said earlier that he didn't want to mention what happened to her when she was a child in front of Zhong Yuqi, and now he made up a fake identity for her, so he also told a "white" lie. Although Empress Dowager Zhao was unhappy, she would not accuse Xiao Yulin of not.

Xiao Yulin saw that Empress Dowager Zhao remembered this matter, and her body was much more relaxed. Thanks to his cleverness, this matter is quite round on the bright side.

Xiao Yulin said: "At that time, Erchen was interested in the matter of escorting darts, so he told Master Zhong that if he escorted the darts to the vicinity of Shengjing in the future, he would ask someone to inform Erchen, and Erchen would play with him for a while." It's a pity that after Master Zhong knew the identity of Erchen, he was afraid that Erchen would make a mistake, and every time there was no dart to bet, he asked someone to inform Erchen. Erchen didn't follow, so he followed Master Zhong to Yunzhou, but he really didn't see Master Zhong having a dart. Several times like this, Erchen also went to Master Zhong's house in Yunzhou a few times, and each time he went to Feng Miaoshou to play. ”

Xiao Yulin justified himself, and made the prerequisites for his acquaintance with Zhong Yuqi clear. Although Xiao Yulin's rhetoric is full of loopholes, others can't find the loopholes.

When Empress Dowager Zhao saw Xiao Yulin, she didn't want to say anything else that ruined the fun, she just wanted to reunite with Xiao Yulin's mother and son for a while. Moreover, Empress Dowager Zhao also knew about this matter, so she didn't mention it anymore.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao said to Xiao Yulin with a smile: "It's been so long since the banquet ended, why did you come to the mourning family?" Come! Come here, come and sit at the mourner's house! ”

Xiao Yulin saw that Empress Dowager Zhao no longer mentioned this matter, and just took a step with a smile, only then did he realize that Zhong Yuqi had been here for so long, and it seemed that he had been standing all the time?

Therefore, Xiao Yulin said to Empress Dowager Zhao: "Queen Mother, you asked Miss Zhong to come to Ningshou Palace to talk, and you always let Miss Zhong stand here?" ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Mrs. Zhao was embarrassed.

It was Zhong Yuqi who explained for the Empress Dowager Zhao: "It's not like this, Lord Wang! When I came to Ningshou Palace before, the Queen Mother didn't expect me to come over so quickly, so the Queen Mother planned to change her clothes first. When I entered this Ningshou Palace, I didn't have to do a stick of incense. ”

Xiao Yulin was even more surprised and said, "What? This king has been separated from you for more than an hour, and you have come to Ningshou Palace, less than a stick of incense? Haven't you been standing outside for a long time? Your body is not very good, and it is cold and snowy outside, isn't it going to be cold? ”

Xiao Yulin's words were deliberately said to the Empress Dowager Zhao, which meant that Zhong Yuqi's health was not good, and asked the Empress Dowager Zhao to be more leisurely with Zhong Yuqi in the future.

Empress Dowager Zhao also listened to Qiu Shi's words before, although Qiu Shi did not necessarily tell the truth, it can be said that Xiao Yulin asked a famous doctor to show Zhong Yuqi, Zhong Yuqi fell into some illnesses when she was a child, and Empress Dowager Zhao still has to believe a little. At that time, Empress Dowager Zhao didn't know if Zhong Yuqi's body was in the way.

Now, listening to Xiao Yulin, Empress Dowager Zhao knew that Zhong Yuqi's body was a little bad. I don't know if Zhong Yuqi was frozen outside before, if she really got sick, I was afraid that Xiao Yulin would also complain about her.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao hurriedly said: "The mourning family has an eye for Miss Zhong, and I only cared about talking to Miss Zhong before, but I forgot about these things!" ”

Afterwards, Empress Dowager Zhao said to Qinglian unhappily: "Qinglian, you are really, you don't even remind the mourning family!" ”

Qinglian confessed: "The slave maid and the queen mother listened to Miss Zhong's story, and they listened to it for a while, but they also neglected this matter!" The slave is guilty, please condemn the queen mother! ”

Xiao Yulin's heart was like a mirror, and he only smiled and said: "The queen mother's palace is warm, and seeing that Miss Zhong's complexion is still good now, she won't get cold." Erchen originally thought that after the banquet, he would come to the queen mother. However, the imperial brother called his sons and preached them for a while! Erchen knew that every time the imperial brother called Erchen over, it would not be a good thing! Therefore, the sons and daughters don't like to go to the emperor's brother, and the sons only want to come to the queen mother! ”

Xiao Yulin "complained" to the Empress Dowager Zhao, walked to the Empress Dowager Zhao's side, took off his heavy cloak, handed it to the palace maid on the side, and then sat down beside the Empress Dowager Zhao.
