Ning You nodded and walked towards the inside of the palace. The eunuch who was guarding outside the hall immediately pushed open the door and invited her in.

Seeing Ning You enter the palace, Ye Zhen and Yao Qin walked a few steps towards the place where there were few people.

Yao Qin's gaze stopped in front of the gate of Chaoyang Palace, and his voice was extremely soft: "Ah Zhen, I saw people who practiced the power of gods and demons in the Queen's Palace today. ”

"In the Queen's Palace?" Ye Zhen was slightly stunned, "Do you know which clan's power?" ”

"I don't know, she wanted to do something to Ning You, but I was too anxious to find out which side her power belonged to." Yao Qin shook his head slowly, frowning.

"Master Zhang of Dali Temple was beheaded at home, this matter may be related to what Xiao Che saw last night, and the palace maid may be one of the two last night."

Yao Qin nodded, looked around, and said softly: "I just discovered that Ning You's amnesia may not be due to illness, but the backlash of the power of gods and demons......"

"It's not appropriate to talk about this in the palace." Ye Zhen interrupted his wife's words, and his eyes fell on the door of the Chaoyang Palace.

The Chaoyang Hall was so quiet that only Ning You's footsteps could be heard. The palace people on both sides stood in their respective positions, motionless like statues, adding a bit of seriousness to this originally oppressive place.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ningyou is here." The chief eunuch said softly.

Emperor Jin held the red pen in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the fold, and he nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew, and the red pen in his hand still did not stop.

Ning You secretly looked at the person behind the imperial case, this was the second time she had seen Emperor Jin after she woke up. Emperor Jin, who carefully reviewed the excerpts, was undoubtedly much more handsome than when he first met that day.

"Come closer." Emperor Jin said suddenly.

Well? Ning You was puzzled, and secretly glanced left and right, unable to determine for a moment whether he was talking to himself.

"Princess......" The chief eunuch gestured to her, which meant to ask her to move forward.

Ning You stepped forward a little and stood in front of the imperial case.

"Look up." Emperor Jin put down the pen in his hand and looked at Ning You in front of him indifferently.

Ning You obediently raised his head, thought about it, and said loudly: "...... last night"

"It's getting more and more like the first snow." The person on the other side of the imperial case sighed and didn't listen to Ning You's words.

Ning You was slightly stunned - the queen's maiden name is Chu Xue - I didn't expect that this Jin Emperor, who was famous for his wine, would still remember the queen's maiden name.

Emperor Jin looked at her carefully, and without saying much, he picked up the red pen again. "Go ahead, King Huaiqing is probably in a hurry outside."

Ning You stood next to him and was stunned for a moment, then curtsy and saluted: "Erchen retires." He wondered in his heart: "Did you call me here to see if I looked like the queen mother?" ”

She didn't understand what Emperor Jin called her for.

Chapter 15 Huaiqing Palace

The maid lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Ning You came out first.

What catches your eye is the four imposing big characters of Huaiqing Palace. Under the door plaque and in front of the palace, there are two stone lions with their heads raised and shouting angrily; There are eight guards standing behind the stone lions, all of whom stand tall and tall with sharp swords, and are extremely brave.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Twelfth Princess!" Ning You had just stood firm, and a uniform voice suddenly came from the door. In the past, the people couldn't help but tilt their heads to look, only to see the guards guarding the gate of the Huaiqing Palace, kneeling on one knee, bowing their heads respectfully.

Ning You was taken aback, this kind of scene had never been seen in the palace, but she had a faint sense of familiarity in her heart, as if she had seen a similar scene before.

Ye Zhen led Yao Qin down from the carriage, and saw that Ning You was a little at a loss standing in front of the guards, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you are all blocking the door, do you want the princess to go in?" ”

"Wow!" As Ye Zhen's words fell, the half-kneeling guards at the door got up at the same time and said in unison: "Princess forgiveness!" ”

"Princess, please." Ye Zhen smiled.

Ning You came back to his senses at this time, nodded to the guards at the door, and followed Ye Zhen to the palace.

The Huaiqing Palace, located in the northern part of the Jin capital, was like the Huaiqing King's territory in the northern part of the Jin Kingdom. Although the architecture of the palace is not as good as that of the imperial palace, it is not comparable to ordinary mansions. Everyone followed King Huaiqing around the front hall and walked towards the inner courtyard of the palace.

Ning You followed behind Ye Zhen and enjoyed the scenery in the palace that was no less than the palace. Not long after walking, Ye Zhen, who was leading the way in front, paused and introduced softly: "This is Xue Wan." ”

She looked up and saw the word "Xueyun" engraved on the top of the cobblestone door. Standing at the door and looking in, I saw the snow plum trees in the courtyard. If you enter a little further, you can see a pond of lotus flowers blooming in the middle of the courtyard, and a pavilion is built in the center of the pond.

Ye Zhen took Ning You into Xue Wan, and said with a light smile: "When the first queen comes to the palace, she will live here, I don't know if the princess is satisfied with this, if she ......"

"My queen mother used to live here?" Ning You interrupted Ye Zhen's words.

Ye Zhen nodded: "Yes, the things inside are still the same as when the queen came to live last time." ”

Ning You was a little curious when he heard this, and swept his eyes over the beautiful courtyard, bypassing the lotus pond and walking towards the main house in the courtyard.

Ye Zhen and a few people followed.

The main room is designed to be simple and elegant, with only a red sandalwood screen placed in the center to separate the inside and outside. The screen depicts a scene from nowhere, only black and white, but the artistic conception of the scene has been painted, and it is obvious that this painting is from the hand of the master.

"Since the queen mother used to live here, then I will live here too." Ning You looked around the room and asked tentatively, "The relationship between the queen mother and the old princess is very good, right?" ”

"Yes, the first queen and her mother are like sisters, every time the mother comes to Beijing, the first queen will come to live here." Ye Zhen replied, "The princess also came here when she was a child. ”

Ning You's eyes flickered twice, suppressing the question that was about to be spoken. Looking around, hoping to find a hint of familiarity, he had to shake his head in disappointment: "I don't remember any of this." ”

Yao Qin and Ye Zhen glanced at each other, and quickly left again.

"The princess doesn't have to say anything, there are guards at the door, the princess just orders to go down, and they will do it." Ye Zhen diverted the topic, "Xiao Che's courtyard is not far from here, if you look for him, the guards will take you there." ”

Ning You nodded, his eyes crossed the screen from the outhouse to the inner room, and he didn't let go of anything. She had some doubts in her heart, how could the queen mother, as the mother of a country, go to live in the courtier's house?

"It's the first day of school at Lufeng Academy in a few days, I wonder if the princess is interested in going to Lufeng Academy?"

"Lufeng Academy?" Ning You turned his head in surprise and put his doubts aside for the time being.

Lufeng Academy is the most famous school in the Jin Kingdom, and seventy percent of the ministers in the court are from this, and some famous families will send their children with good qualifications in the clan. This is not only the dream of all young talents in the Jin Kingdom, but also their passport to the court.

"Yes, Xiao Che will also go in, I don't know what the princess thinks?" Ye Zhen nodded.

"Naturally, I am willing." Ning You bowed down and saluted Ye Zhen: "Thank you, Lord Wang, if it weren't for Lord Wang, Ning You wouldn't have been able to go to Lufeng Academy." ”

Ye Zhen hurriedly supported her, and said with a gentle smile: "The first queen and her mother are like sisters, and they have also helped the palace many times when they were alive, and they should do their best for the princess in the future." The princess doesn't have to be polite. ”

Ning You smiled, glanced left and right, and didn't find Ye Che's kid. Only then did she remember that she hadn't seen Ye Che since she entered the mansion.

Noticing Ning You's glancing gaze, Yao Qin covered his lips and chuckled, "Xiao Che took a beating this morning, and he is probably still in his yard to make up for the homework that has been lost in the past two days." ”

Ning You was stunned, and his gaze slid past Ye Zhen, the king of Huaiqing. But seeing him with a smile on his lips, standing indifferently next to Yao Qin, no matter how he looked, he looked like a humble son who was as gentle as jade.

"Qin'er, you accompany the princess around the palace." Ye Zhen turned to his wife and continued to say to Ning You: "If the princess has any needs, just say, Zhen still has important things to do, please retire first." ”

"The prince doesn't have to be polite." Ning You nodded immediately. For Ye Zhen's politeness, she was still a little reluctant.

Seeing King Huaiqing leave the courtyard, Yao Qin smiled and took Ning You's hand, introduced as he walked, and looked around every corner of "Xue Wan". Ke Ningyou still has no impression of this courtyard, and it is still a feeling of being a newcomer.

Yao Qin didn't care if Ning You remembered anything, so after a walk around Xueyun, he took her to the rest of the palace. There is not much difference in age between the two, and they talk while walking, and they are familiar with each other a lot along the way.

"That's Toru Kotoru's yard, and now he's probably doing his homework, let's go in and have a look." Princess Huaiqing pointed to a courtyard in front of her and pulled Ning You towards the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Ye Che put on his bow and arrows, his eyes were like an eagle ready to hunt, staring at the arrow target fifty steps away. With a "boom", the arrow broke through the air and was nailed into the bull's-eye, and the next three arrows followed and shot into the bull's-eye in succession.

Four sharp arrows hit the bull's-eye.

Ning You came in from outside and saw this scene: in the huge courtyard, Ye Che was wearing a black armed robe, standing straight in the center, and pulling the bowstring in his hand, like a full moon. She stopped, stunned for a moment. At this moment, Ye Che's expression was unusually tight, as if the arrow target was his mortal enemy, as if he was not the same person as the usual playful young man.

When he was stunned, Ye Che over there seemed to notice something and suddenly turned around, his eyes were like torches, startling Ning You.

I saw that he suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and walked over from the shooting range, and he was the same as before.

"Yo, little girl, why are you here?"

Ning You pursed her lips and frowned, she couldn't figure out why she came here in a daze.

"I'm here to thank you." His gaze drifted around Ye Che to other directions, and for some reason he had a feeling of blushing and heartbeat.

Yao Qin on the side saw it clearly, covered his mouth and snickered, Ye Che stopped five steps away from her, still holding a bow and arrow in his hand.

"It must be my troubled brother." muttered quietly, looked at Ning You again, and was just about to say something when Yao Qin interrupted.

Yao Qin saw that Ning You was uncomfortable, and he knew the temper of this younger brother, and was afraid that he would spit out something that would make people unable to hear it, so he took Ning You's hand.

"You'er, I'll take you to look elsewhere." His gaze turned to Ye Che.

"Remember to come to dinner." Turning around and not giving Ye Che a chance to live, Ye Che stretched out his hand to stay, watching the two slender backs walking side by side, but after all, he didn't speak, put down his arm, and walked to the shooting range with a bow and arrow.

Yao Qin and Ning You walked side by side, Ning You was still thinking about what Ye Che was like, the heat on his face had not yet dissipated, Yao Qin raised his eyes and looked at it, not only covering his mouth and chuckling.

Walking on the bluestone road, I came to a small stream, and watched the koi fish bustling, like this side gathered, but she and the princess did not have any fish food in their hands, Yao Qin saw Ning You's doubts, stretched out his hand to the maid behind him, and a beautiful and delicate brocade box was handed to the pair of jade.

Raising his hand to spread the food therapy, watching the koi fish jump out of the water in order to compete for fish food, Ning You looked at Yao Qin suspiciously.

"Isn't the memory of a fish short?"

Yao Qin put the box in the hand of the maid behind him and chuckled: "It's just artificial." Du Bu walked across the bridge, Ning You was distracted, and found that Yao Qin had already gotten off the bridge, and hurriedly followed.

The phrase 'how short but artificial' is not hinting at her something.

Thinking about the meaning of this sentence along the way, he unconsciously answered the original place again, stood in front of the door, and looked at Yao Qin's gentle smile.

"You rest first, I'll call you for lunch."

Ning You nodded, looked at Yao Qin and smiled softly at her, leaving her a gorgeous back, knowing that the back was far away from the snow plum tree, Ning You pushed open the door behind her, Yao Qin did not leave her a palace maid, presumably to let her own memories.

Walk up to the table in front of the screen, pour yourself a glass of water, sit down, and drift into the distance with a distracted look.

Now the only clue in my memory is the sentence: "Yaoyao, keep moving forward, don't look back." ”

Frowning, he put his hand down the teacup and pressed his temples to his head, and his head began to ache.

Yao Qin's words are still lingering in my ears, no matter how short they are, but they are artificial.

Ning You thought that he understood a little bit why he was called here, and they wanted to help him recover his memory and save himself from those bullies.

Looking around, the quiet and peaceful environment, and a trace of sandalwood hit the ears, this is where his mother lived before, and he has been here before, but there is no familiar impression.

Distress flashed in his eyes, and a pool of lotus flowers outside the window was rippling in the wind.

Push open the door and smell the fragrance of lotus flowers, some things, the harder you try, the more counterproductive, it is better to go with the flow.

Breathe in the fresh air and close your eyes, as if you are in a sea of flowers.

At this moment, the sun is gradually becoming more and more intense, and it must not be far from the time for lunch.

When he walked into the room, he didn't close the door, and waited quietly for Yao Qin's arrival.

"Princess."

Holding the table with his hand, Yao Qin was pretending to sleep, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the respectful maid in front of him, and looked at the scorching sun outside the window, only to realize that it was noon.

Entering the door is different from the heat outside, perhaps because of the lotus flowers and water in the pond, the temperature of this yard has dropped a lot.

As soon as Yao Qin entered the door, Ning You saw it from a distance on the windowsill, got up in a hurry, walked outside the door, saw Yao Qin at the door, and bowed.

Yao Qin smiled and reached out to help.

"Here, don't care about those false courtesies."

Ning You smiled and nodded.

"Che'er will offend the princess by saying something at the dinner table, and I hope that the princess Haihan." Walking on the road, Yao Qin suddenly came to such a sentence, which made Ning You instantly unaware of what was wrong.

My eyes wandered around, and I didn't know where to put them.

"What are you talking about, how can I be as knowledgeable as him!" The tone became less gentle than before, and Yao Qin covered his lips and smiled.

"That's good." Facing Yao Qin's gentle gaze, Ning You was a little weak-hearted, so she had to look away, she didn't know that there were already two colorful flowers on her face.

When she arrived in the lobby, Yao Qin asked Ning You to sit first, and then she sat next to her, but the two main masters had not yet come, and now they were just serving food.

Watching the maids come and go, the dishes served are never seen in the palace, in that cold but gorgeous palace, what they have suffered is only humiliation, thinking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she couldn't escape Yao Qin, who paid attention to her.

"Don't worry, princess, the prince and Che'er should be here in a while."

Ning You put away his thoughts and smiled at Yao Qin, and he saw a familiar figure from far to near.

The tall figure walked in, Yao Qin followed Ning You's gaze and found that it was Ye Che.

"Sister-in-law, why hasn't my brother come yet, I thought I would be the last." Smiled and pulled away next to Ning You, without paying attention to the rules at all, Yao Qin looked at it and didn't say anything.

Ning You pursed his lips and turned his head away from him.

"Hey, stinky girl, don't you even say a word to me when you come to my house for dinner?" His chin was high, and his tone was so arrogant.

Ning You glared at her, Yao Qin was afraid that something would happen to the two, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Che'er, don't be unreasonable, this is the princess."

When Ye Che heard this, he began to look Ning You up and down, Ning You felt like a guinea pig, and his body was about to be shot through by him, especially the eyes.

"Tut-tut, this is the princess, the princess is so thin, no wonder she wants to come to our house to eat." With a look of pity, Yao Qin had a headache when she saw it, so she simply turned a blind eye, anyway, she couldn't take care of this little uncle.

Ning Youqi's face was bulging like a little squirrel who had always been cute, waiting for a pair of big eyes, Ye Che felt that she was very cute at the moment, he just liked to see her angry, I don't know why.

"You." Staring at Ye Che, not knowing what to say, at this time a slender figure walked in with a smile.

"Che'er is messing around again." Yao Qin looked over, as if she saw a life-saving benefactor, she rarely seemed to express her emotions so nakedly.

"Ah Zhen." Yao Qin snorted softly, his eyes were full of attachment, Ye Zhen walked into Yao Qin with a smile, touched Yao Qin's head, and signaled that she was okay
