Murong Mian coughed more and more violently, and he almost beat his chest, which startled Bai Qianfan, and hurriedly patted him on the back: "What's wrong with the prince?" ”

Murong Mian secretly glanced at the emperor, a little weak-hearted, and intercepted the tribute halfway, this matter is not small, but it is not big, at least in his opinion, it is not a good thing, just a few bunches of grapes, and it is not a valuable thing. Every year, there are envoys from small countries to pay tribute, it is rare to come to a trip, Lin Lin always installed a convoy, in addition to sending it to the palace, but also to play some ministers, he is the most powerful among the ministers, and it is really nothing to take a few bunches of grapes. But it's a little embarrassing to mention it coldly.

Bai Guifei was waiting for a sentence, and said: "Where is the princess eating the horse*, there is no sale in the capital, it is a specialty of Tufan, yesterday a Tufan envoy came to pay tribute, and there is no that, it is a rare thing." ”

The queen looked at Rui Ni a little and said with a smile: "The concubine remembers wrongly, what this palace likes to eat is lychee and longan from the south." I sent a lot of them a while ago, and I ate them for a while, and these seasonal fruits are not tolerant to put them, so I will try them first, and I will have hope for the next year. ”

Bai Guifei bit the horse * grapes and didn't let go, and only asked Bai Qianfan: "Where did the princess get it, and the palace also sent someone to get some." ”

Bai Qianfan is a simple person, but this time, his mind turned around, and he was about to find an excuse, when he heard Murong Mian clear his throat, "Brother Huang, I have to explain this matter to you." ”

The emperor waved his hand lightly, "I know, it's nothing, it's just a few bunches of grapes." ”

Bai Guifei pretended to know, and said in surprise: "It turns out that the horse* eaten by Princess Chu is the tribute of Tubo, why didn't she enter the palace?" ”

The queen sighed in her heart, and she couldn't hold her breath anymore, compared to her Lao Tzu, the Tao is still shallower.

The emperor also frowned slightly, they are all smart people, just knock on the side, but it will be embarrassing when it is spread out. He smiled slightly, "I know this matter, the number is small, it is not good to get it in the palace, and it is also good to reward Princess Chu." ”

Bai Guifei was still waiting to add fuel and vinegar, and the queen glanced at her, "Your Majesty, while everyone is together, it is better to go to the concubine to eat, the emperor and the king of Chu have not drunk each other for a long time, and the concubine and the princess of Chu hit it off at first sight, and they also want to invite her to play in the palace of the concubine." ”

The emperor said: "Since the queen has been warmly invited, the third brother and the third brother and sister will go over and sit down." ”

The emperor opened his mouth, Murong Mian didn't know what to say, nodded his head, and left this place of right and wrong first.

Bai Guifei watched them leave, and she was so angry that she dropped the teacup, she had carefully laid out it for so long, how could it be such a result? Why isn't the emperor annoyed, why doesn't he punish them, even if it's a few scoldings. Such an understatement was revealed?

When they arrived at Fengming Palace, the queen ordered a meal, and the four of them sat around the table, because the emperor was there, there were more dishes than usual, and there was a group of people standing behind her, Bai Qianfan was very uncomfortable, she was used to being an invisible person, so many pairs of eyes were watching, it was really like a man's back. The dishes on the table are all exquisite, but unfortunately eating with the emperor, there are too many rules, she doesn't know, she just responds to all changes with the same, only eats the dishes in front of her, can't speak, can't make a sound, and even drinks the soup is silent, look at the queen's elegant and calm demeanor, Bai Qianfan is ashamed of herself, and she doesn't even dare to open her mouth a little wider.

The queen didn't eat much, and after a while, she put down her chopsticks, and the palace maid stepped forward and handed a warm towel to wipe her hands, and took a sip of rose water for her, before retreating.

The queen stopped her chopsticks, and Bai Qianfan didn't dare to eat more, so she took a small sip of fruit sauce.

The queen smiled and asked, "Is the dish still to Princess Chu's appetite?" ”

Bai Qianfan didn't know what he ate at all, anyway, it wasn't as delicious as Crimson, so he nodded vaguely, "Well, it's good." ”

"I feel good, I often come and walk, run through the door, talk to me, relieve my fatigue, what do you say, Your Majesty?"

The emperor sat on the top, with a humble appearance, and when he heard the queen ask, he immediately said, "I have decreed that in the future, the princess of Chu can enter and exit the palace freely, whether it is to see the concubine or come to the queen." ”

Bai Qianfan was still sitting stupidly, and Murong Mian secretly pinched her, and she sighed, stood up and squatted down: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

"No need to be polite, I said, it's all a family, don't look at the palace gate, the princess wants to come over, it's actually convenient. Accompany the queen to talk, relieve fatigue, and get close to each other. ”

Bai Qianfan listened to the words "concubine" from the emperor's mouth, it was really kind, if there were no such complicated rules, they would really be very close. The emperor is the eldest brother, the queen is the sister-in-law, and it is really good to speak straightforwardly, without worrying about it, without hiding it.

The emperor looks elegant, but the majesty is still there, the queen has no arrogance, treats people kindly, and laughs kindly, because of poor health, always shows some weak and delicate attitude. Bai Qianfan has a good impression of her, much better than Bai Guifei.

Her cup was empty, no one added fruit syrup to her, so she came by herself, taking things lightly, making a clanging sound, all eyes looked at her in unison, she became more and more flustered, almost didn't put the cup steady, Murong Mian reached out to hold it, "The face is red, still drink?" ”

Bai Qianfan said, "This is not wine. ”

The queen smiled: "Although it is not wine, it is easy to get drunk if you drink too much, I see that the princess has drunk a lot today, and I am afraid that she will fall asleep when she returns to the mansion." ”

Murong Mian took the opportunity to leave: "Brother Huang, sister-in-law, the princess is unconscious, so as not to be embarrassed when she gets drunk and goes abroad, the younger brother will take her back first." ”

The meal was almost finished, and the emperor looked very happy, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you take the princess back first, and let the princess come and go often in the future." ”

Murong Mian saluted with Bai Qianfan, and the two came out of Fengming Palace. Someone arranged Bai Qianfan's shoulder, and carried him one after the other to the outside of the palace gate.

When they arrived at the door, the two of them lowered their shoulders, Bai Qianfan seemed to be preoccupied, and followed Murong Mian without saying a word.

Murong Mian also looked thoughtful, didn't pay much attention to her, the sedan chair sent was still parked outside the palace gate, Murong Mian sent her to the sedan chair, got on the horse by herself, and slowly went to the Chu Palace.

When they arrived at the house, the sedan chair was carried to Huailin Pavilion, and Crimson came to open the curtain and found that Bai Qianfan had fallen asleep.

She gestured to Murong Mian that she was sleeping, and Murong Mian waved her hand, signaling not to scratch, and walked over to pick up Bai Qianfan and go to the house.

Bai Qianfan slept lightly, he woke up as soon as he moved, rubbing his eyes in confusion, "Arrived?" ”

Murong Mian looked at her yawning and couldn't open her eyes, and said, "You sleep with yours, I'll carry you to bed." ”

He carried Bai Qianfan into his bedroom, carefully placed it on the bed, took off her shoes lightly, and pulled the quilt to cover her. The little girl grunted, rolled over and fell asleep.

Murong Mian sat down on the side, thinking about today's events, his brows furrowed, Ma *'s matter, is it a coincidence, or is it deliberate? Is Bai Guifei trying to make ghosts, or is it the emperor's arrangement?

The person on the bed muttered, turned around, her cheeks were flushed, and even her lips were brighter than usual, probably hot, and she kicked off the quilt.

Murong Mian went over and touched her forehead gently, it was indeed sweating, he lifted the quilt, untied her belt, and opened her coat a little more, although the summer clothes were thin, and it was unbearable to wrap them in a few layers like this.

When he started, she knew to do it, and she picked up her clothes with her eyes closed, and didn't care if she didn't pick it up, she tried to show a little bit to cool down.

Two tiny arms, two tiny legs, stretched out from a pile of brocade, slender neck, snow-white shoulders, also exposed.

Her breath was light, full of the smell of fruit syrup, even the air was contaminated, and it smelled faintly sweet.

Murong Mian bent down and looked at her carefully, watching her face slowly enlarge in front of him, unconsciously close to him, so close that her breath sprayed all on his face.
