When Ma Liu saw Xiao Yulin like this, he also accused Zhong Yuqi in his heart.

However, he did not dare to say anything. Xiao Yulin doesn't care about Zhong Yuqi's words, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about him!

It's Qiushi, she can't understand what Zhong Yuqi thinks.

If Zhong Yuqi was angry, she wouldn't have said something like that. And Qiu Shi knew that what Zhong Yuqi said just now was not a backword, it was the truth in Zhong Yuqi's heart.

But if Xiao Yulin wants Zhong Yuqi to marry a concubine to Ruiwang's Mansion one step ahead, isn't that a slap in the face of Zhong Yuqi? Why doesn't Zhong Yuqi mind at all? Don't say it's Zhong Yuqi, even Qiu Shi's heart is very unconvinced!

But what can be done about it? Thinking about their identities, it is already impossible for Zhong Yuqi to be Princess Rui, let alone interfering with Xiao Yulin's concubine, let alone that this is still a holy decree.

In fact, Zhong Yuqi didn't mind these things at all.

Because, she has no love for Xiao Yulin, how many wives and concubines does he marry, and what does it matter to her? Moreover, it is normal for a large family to have three wives and four concubines, as long as she keeps the title of Princess Rui.

Xiao Yulin was angry, so he didn't talk to Zhong Yuqi at the banquet later. He was afraid that one could not help it and would say something unpleasant.

Zhong Yuqi is also happy that Xiao Yulin does not talk to her, so that she can receive less attention from others.

Empress Dowager Zhao also noticed the atmosphere between Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi, and her eyes were even brighter. She felt that the relationship between Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi was a little abnormal.

At the end of the banquet, everyone left the venue one after another, and each went out of the palace and returned home.

Except for Xiao Yulin, who wants to stay in the palace to participate in the night banquet, the other princes have families and want to have dinner in the palace. Even if Xiao Yulin has a family, he is the most beloved son of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the Empress Dowager Zhao still has to leave his family for dinner in the palace.

Xiao Ziteng is the crown prince and the only prince who has opened a mansion outside, so he naturally wants to stay in the palace for a banquet at night.

Originally, Xiao Ziteng also wanted to go to Ningshou Palace with Xiao Yulin and talk to Zhong Yuqi by the way, but Meng Yunting was called to Jinfeng Palace to talk first.

Although Xiao Yulin is still angry with Zhong Yuqi, he has to stand up and say to Zhong Yuqi: "This king will have a banquet in the palace at night, and he will not go back to the house now." In a moment, the king will have someone take you home. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Lord Wang, please take care of yourself!" ”

After speaking, Zhong Yuqi walked to the door of the main hall.

At this time, a little palace maid hurriedly came over and said to Zhong Yuqi: "Miss Zhong, slow down! ”

Zhong Yuqi stood still, then looked at the little palace maid and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The little palace maid lowered her head and said, "Miss Zhong, the Queen Mother is familiar with Miss Zhong at first sight, please invite Miss Zhong to Ningshou Palace to talk about it." ”

Familiar at first sight? A narrative? I'm afraid I will call her to Ningshou Palace to ask for her life! Zhong Yuqi thought to herself.

Xiao Yulin also guessed probably, and at this time, he didn't care about being angry with Zhong Yuqi, and said to the little palace maid: "Miss Zhong is tired of the banquet, and this king is going to send her back to the palace." ”

The little palace maid bowed to Xiao Yulin again and said, "Lord Qirui, the Queen Mother instructed the slaves and maids to ask Miss Zhong to take a trip to Ningshou Palace." ”

It's just to ask Zhong Yuqi to go to Ningshou Palace to say a few words, it's not a big deal.

At the banquet before, Xiao Yuhong had already accused Xiao Yulin of being unfilial, and if he made Empress Dowager Zhao unhappy at this time, wouldn't Xiao Yulin be even more famous?

Therefore, Xiao Yulin said: "This king has not been to Ningshou Palace for some days, and every year on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, this king will go to Ningshou Palace for a trip, and this king will go to Ningshou Palace together!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Yulin waved his hand and motioned for Zhong Yuqi to follow him.

Just out of the Tai'an Palace, another little eunuch hurriedly came over and said to Xiao Yulin: "Lord Qirui, the emperor summoned Prince Rui to the imperial study to talk." ”

Xiao Yulin frowned, knowing in his heart that this was not a coincidence, I was afraid that Empress Dowager Zhao and Xiao Yuhong were deliberately trying to separate him and Zhong Yuqi.

Therefore, Xiao Yulin said: "Does the emperor have anything important to tell the king?" ”

The little eunuch only lowered his head and said, "The slave doesn't know! The emperor only ordered the servants to invite Prince Rui to the imperial study. ”

Zhong Yuqi also guessed the reason, so she said to Xiao Yulin: "Lord, the emperor summoned you over, naturally there is something to find you." The prince should go over! ”

Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi with some concern: "You also know that you are going to Ningshou Palace!" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Ningshou Palace is the queen mother's bedroom, the queen mother loves it, and I should talk to the queen mother in the past." After the prince and the emperor finished speaking, it was not too late to go to Ningshou Palace. ”

Xiao Yulin was helpless, and he couldn't say anything else, so he had to say to the little palace maid: "You go and tell the Queen Mother, saying that this king will go to the imperial study first, and then go to talk to the Queen Mother." Miss Zhong is a small family and doesn't understand the rules and etiquette of the palace, so you must not be rude to her! ”

The little girl leaned over and said, "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi walked for a while, and they were about to separate.

Xiao Yulin was still a little worried about Zhong Yuqi's safety, so he stopped at the intersection and didn't leave. It was Zhong Yuqi, without saying a word, and followed the palace maid to the harem.

Since she wants to be Princess Rui, there are some things that she has to face, and Zhong Yuqi knows it.

After following the little palace maid for a long time, Zhong Yuqi came to the gate of Ningshou Palace in the deep palace. It's very secluded, and there are hardly any people walking around outside.

The gate of Ningshou Palace was closed, and the little palace maid said to Zhong Yuqi: "Miss Zhong, please allow the slave maid to go in and report to the Queen Mother!" ”

Zhong Yuqi only nodded.

The little girl knocked on the door, and the door opened a little. A little eunuch showed his head, and when he saw that it was someone from Ningshou Palace, he let people in, and then closed the door again.

Zhong Yuqi only hooked her lips and smiled, thinking in her heart, Empress Dowager Zhao is afraid that she wants to ask her to eat a closed door and ask her to stand in this ice and snow for a while, right?

In broad daylight, it's the New Year, which palace will close the door? Unless it's a convicted palace, the door is sealed.

Sure enough, Zhong Yuqi waited for a long time for a stick of incense, but there was no movement at the door, and there was not even a sound inside.

Qiu Shi is not as dressed as Zhong Yuqi, and his physique is not as good as Zhong Yuqi, and his body is still warm when he walks before, but the more he stands here, the colder it gets, and his body can't help but shiver.

Qiu Shi hugged his arms and whispered to Zhong Yuqi: "Miss, the Queen Mother called Miss over, right?" ”

Zhong Yuqi snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! That's pretty good! ”

"Is Miss cold?"

Saying that, Qiu Shi touched Zhong Yuqi's hand again, but he didn't feel cold, and he was relieved. I gathered Zhong Yuqi's cloak again, for fear that there would be a cold wind in the cloak.
