"By the way, what did Lu Gui say to you when he left today?" Fang Cannon swallowed a mouthful of soup and asked softly.

"He said, 'I'm on your side.'" What does this phrase mean? Ruan Mianmian still didn't understand this, and shook her head suspiciously.

"He's on our side, so, someone is on our side?" Jiang Xinyue said a word, and everyone present was shocked into a cold sweat.

Someone is standing in the dark to deal with Yipinxiang, they haven't guessed before, after all, they were scared after discovering the jade seal, and the previous framing incident can prove that someone has a reason to use power to deal with Yipinxiang, and this person's purpose is extremely not pure, and the means and power are naturally not bad. They are just a commoner's restaurant, and if they are targeted by any nobleman, they may be killed.

"Needless to say, these things, when we go back, we will talk behind closed doors, don't forget that this is there." Uncle Hua knocked on the table and called everyone's thoughts back.

Among the people who tasted incense, only Liu Xin'er, who came late, didn't know what was going on, so she was naturally confused, but the others were heavy and didn't have the heart to eat.

"Listen to Uncle Hua, go back and talk about it, I can't think of anything now, it's better to take one step at a time." Mu Ruqing is the most stressed person, and at this time he also forced himself to withdraw from thinking, he has a great responsibility, not only to inherit and carry forward a pin of incense, but more importantly, to protect this group of relatives and friends.

Less than half an hour later, Manager Zhan came to speak again, and at this time, Manager Zhan looked a little strange: "Everyone, there is a decree in the saint, and everyone will see the holy face of the people with a pin of incense." ”

"What? The Holy One wants to see us? Jiang Xinyue was short-tempered, and at this time, she jumped up from the chair all of a sudden.

"Yes, hurry up, ancestors, the father-in-law who came to pick up people is already waiting outside the door."

As soon as the words fell, Father-in-law De, who had just sent them to the imperial dining room that afternoon, walked in, and there was no expression on his face. Although Mu Ruqing and the others couldn't figure out the situation, they still hurriedly got up and sorted out their clothes, and walked out with this German father-in-law.

After a long palace road, I came to a huge garden, the bluestone road became a road of various stones, but it was still smooth and flawless, all kinds of landscapes on both sides of the path were made into small and exquisite rockeries, any flowers and plants on the ground were gorgeous and dazzling, I had never seen them, Ruan Mianmian and several girls were very sensitive to beauty, and almost forgot that they were in the palace, and exclaimed.

Father-in-law De shook the dust in front of everyone and said in a low voice: "Don't you want to die?" Shouting in the imperial garden, the saint and the queen mother are still in the courtyard! Only then did everyone hold their breath and continue to walk with Father-in-law De.

The further you go, the more beautiful pink palace maids are like flowers, some of them are holding palace fans and sweat towels, some are holding fruits and wine, and they are all doing their own things in a proper manner.

Passing through the middle of a rockery, the eyes suddenly opened, the middle of this imperial garden is actually a wide square, the square is surrounded by eight tall stone pillars, carved with golden and brilliant ornamentation, if the whole imperial garden is a creature, then this square is the heart of the imperial garden, magnificent and magnificent.

Before taking them to the square, Father-in-law De did not forget to say "remember to salute", and led them forward. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it depends on this time.

The saint and the queen mother sat on the front stage, because they were too far away and looked up, the shadows were too good to see clearly, only that from the tables, chairs, benches to clothes and jewelry, they were all shining and magnificent. On the left and right, there are two rows of imperial concubines with different styles but stunning beauties, and they are looking at Yipinxiang curiously.

"Mu Ruqing, the grass people, bring his subordinates to meet the saint, long live the saint, long live the saint, meet the queen mother, the mother is a thousand years old." Mu Ruqing said in a loud voice, leading everyone to lean down.

"Excuse me, get up and speak." A rich and peaceful male voice came down from the stage, and it was the voice of the current emperor.

After Mu Ruqing took Ruan Mianmian and them to get up, they only bowed their heads respectfully, according to the etiquette, they couldn't raise their heads and face the saint directly, which was a big disrespect.

"Who invented this hot pot?" The voice was unhurried, and no emotion could be heard.

"Returning to the saints, they are grass people." Mu Ruqing took a step forward and said respectfully.

"I and the Queen Mother are very fond of each other, thinking about what to reward you, thinking about it, but it is better to let you choose yourself. Real money, or something else. There was finally a hint of emotion in that voice.

"The grass people are afraid, how dare they bear the grace of heaven, the grass people are willing to dedicate the recipe of the hot pot to the emperor, and win the smile of the emperor and the queen mother with their meager strength." Mu Ruqing arched his hand.

The emperor laughed twice: "How can I accept your secret recipe for nothing, in this way, I promise you that the recipe for this hot pot will not flow from the palace to the people, in addition, I see that you are not a person who likes gold and silver wealth, why don't you write a plaque for Yipinxiang by yourself, what do you think?" ”

"The grass people are overjoyed, and they should be grateful for the emperor's grace, and thank the saints." Mu Ruqing lifted the hem of his clothes and led everyone to salute and thank him.

"Huh? Is this woman also a person of Yipinxiang?" The heroine in the emperor's mouth is naturally Jiang Xinyue, she is dressed neatly and chicly, and she naturally looks different from ordinary girls.

"In Xiajiang Xinyue, temporarily live in Yipinxiang." Jiang Xinyue stepped forward and arched her hand towards the dragon chair above.

"Surname Jiang? The heroine is a master of Jiang and Hujiang? The emperor's voice was a little warm.

Although Jiang Xinyue didn't know why the emperor knew his master, it seemed that he was full of affection for Yipinxiang, and naturally he no longer hid anything: "Back to the saint, the master is Jiang Hu." ”

"No wonder, looking at the heroine's actions, there is quite the style of Jiang Daxia, so to speak, the heroine is still my junior sister, when I was still in the hidden mansion, I learned martial arts with Jiang Daxia for a period of time, but he likes freedom and does not want to be bound by the official position, so I failed to apprentice."

Others couldn't see it, and a rare memory appeared in the emperor's eyes, "Is Jiang Daxia okay now?" Is it in Kyochu? ”

"Master is good, he has traveled the world, and he often acts chivalrous and righteous, so the saint can rest assured."

"That's fine, that's fine, Queen Mother, do you have anything else to say?" The Emperor turned his head and asked.

The Queen Mother didn't speak, but was helped up from her seat by the female official in the surprise of everyone, and slowly walked off the stage to Jiang Xinyue.

Jiang Xinyue lowered her head, and saw a pair of red phoenix shoes in front of her, and then a skirt embroidered with a winged phoenix stopped in front of her.

"Girl, you raise your head and show the mourning family." The Queen Mother's voice was kind, and Jiang Xinyue was close, but she heard a hint of trembling.

Looking up in astonishment, Jiang Xinyue saw the face of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother should be forty or fifty years old, but she looks very well maintained, and she does not look old in her appearance, and she can still see how radiant she was when she was young.

Seeing Jiang Xinyue's face, the Queen Mother didn't speak to her again, but turned to the emperor and said, "Emperor, look at it, how much does it look like?" ”

Yipinxiang Everyone was stunned, Jiang Xinyue turned out to be like a person, or someone who knew both the Queen Mother and the Emperor? If it's just an acquaintance, what if it's an enemy? I didn't dare to think about it, everyone's heads were lowered, as if they were ready to die with Jiang Xinyue.

The emperor on the dragon chair over there looked at it for a while, and then said, "There are seven points on the face, and there are almost eight or nine points on the expression." ”

"In this case, presumably the emperor will not question the will of the mourning family," the queen mother said to the female officials beside her: "Spread the will of the mourning family, a fragrant rice village Jiang Xinyue heroine, graceful and graceful, the mourning family is very fond of it, specially named the county lord, titled Jingshu, on the royal jade plate, recorded as the righteous daughter of the mourning family." ”

The Queen Mother's words were like a thunderclap in this imperial garden, from the princess and the beautiful woman who was doing it to the first-class incense everyone, and even the palace maids and eunuchs were shocked, and no one moved for a while. There are many women with foreign surnames as royal daughters in all dynasties, but all of them are daughters of high-ranking families, this is the first time that a folk woman without a family is the daughter of the queen mother, some people sigh in their hearts that this Jiang Xinyue's luck is too good, and she has entered the eyes of the queen mother, and some people are jealous that she is not a nobleman but jumped up and became a master.

It's just that this thought can't be shown on their faces, and those imperial concubines still got up one after another and saluted the Queen Mother and Jiang Xinyue: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother for her righteous daughter, and congratulations to the Lord of Jingshu." ”

It's just that Jiang Xinyue, who was in the center of the whirlpool, looked a little strange, and she was just about to speak, but the Queen Mother had already taken her hand: "Your worries and mourning family also know, you don't have to make rules in the palace, how can any hero be willing to let people be locked in this golden cage?" You still go out and go wherever you want, just protect yourself, come and stay for a few days every month, and accompany my wife. ”

With tears in her eyes, Jiang Xinyue knelt down and bowed: "Son, thank your mother." ”

This big drama was not understood until Mu Ruqing and they were sent out of the palace, Jiang Xinyue naturally couldn't bear the queen mother's kindness and stayed in the palace, and Mu Ruqing took his own people to sit in the carriage arranged by Lu Gui to wait outside the palace.

It was already the middle of the night, but everyone was not sleepy, and they could only hear the clattering of horses' hooves on the road, which caused a lonely echo in the street. Ruan Mianmian seemed to be a little uncomfortable: "Brother Mu, did you say that the Queen Mother really likes Sister Yue, will there be problems with her alone in the palace." ”

"Don't worry about her, she's in luck." Uncle Hua smiled and spoke.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Mu Ruqing didn't seem to know.

"Today, the Queen Mother's title to Yue'er is the word 'Jingshu', right?"

"Yes, but what does that prove?"

"Many years ago, the Queen Mother had a little daughter, who was very delicate and noble, and she didn't like to dance and write, so she liked to practice martial arts, and when she was a teenager, she was called a heroic and sassy, and she was the most popular princess among the people. Later, news suddenly came out in the palace that the little princess was dead, and the murderer was caught soon, and it turned out to be Su Guifei, the biological mother of the current King of Qi. The little princess who was murdered is titled 'Jingshu'" Uncle Hua lowered his voice.

Ruan Mianmian exclaimed, "That one who looks very similar to Sister Yue is actually that little princess?" That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? ”

"Who says it's not, with this relationship, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely protect Yue'er, so we don't have to worry."
