After noon, there was silence outside Kunning Palace. Several palace people held baskets and collected wooden trees from the trees outside the hall, and occasionally made a sound.

Yanyin saw that the basket was full, and was about to turn back to the hall, when she looked up, she saw a figure walking not far away, and before she could bend her knees, Zhu Di had raised her hand to signal her not to make a sound.

"The queen is still in the middle of the day?" He approached and glanced at the golden cup in the basket.

"Yes, but not in the dormitory, in the warm pavilion." Yan Yin lowered his voice.

"Still can't sleep in the dormitory?" A faint smile appeared on his face.

"The queen said that the space was empty, and she didn't like ......"

He said no more, and walked into the temple.

There is no one in the hall, the windows are all half-open, the crystal curtains are hanging, and the room is quiet. The book on the case is half-covered, except for the vase of flowers, there is no extra decoration. The warm sun shines through the curtain gap, fainting everywhere, and everything is still vaguely the appearance of Yanwangfu.

Lifting the curtain into the warm pavilion, there was no one, his heart was empty, and he walked back with a step.

Under the shadow of the trees in the garden behind, there was a chaise longue, and the figure leaned on it, as if it was sleeping. When he got closer, he saw a corner of the brocade carpet hanging on the ground, and a book wrapped in it. He reached for it, and she opened her eyes.

"And greedy." He sat down beside her, grimacing.

She sat up, hugged her knees, and still felt sleepy on her face, "The dormitory is too deserted, and the warm pavilion is stuffy again, it's not as good as here, just right." ”

He looked at her face, the sleep marks were still with the morning glow, and the trance was still the same as when he first entered the Yanwang Mansion, and stretched out his hand to hold her, "Someone still needs to be guarded, don't sleep for a long time, and the night is not steady." ”

"Who chewed my tongue again, who said I couldn't sleep well at night?" She feigned, "It's you, who have been fighting all these years, and now that you have the help of the cabinet, how can you still work so hard......"

She sat up straight, cleared her throat, softened her eyebrows, and learned his tone, "I am often in the palace Zhou Enshu affairs, or there is something that has not been done, or what has not been done well, that is, I will not sleep until the end, and what I must do is peace of mind." ”

At first, he kept his face tense, but when he heard it, he couldn't suppress the upward arc of the corners of his mouth, "The queen actually planted eyes and ears around me, how should I punish him?" ”

"Eyes and ears? No one in my palace dares to go. I'll go back to you, and you'll have no time. I'll just watch them make tea and prepare snacks in the side hall, and listen to it by the way. ”

"Since you're here, why don't you let people spread it?" He was a little displeased, "Recently, the refreshments have been prepared very much to my liking, and this is the reason for this......"

She leaned on his shoulder, "Your Majesty should pay attention to your body, Miaoyun thinks that the soldiers and civilians are too." After years of war, it is inevitable to be tired and difficult, and it is also necessary to recuperate. ”

Miaoyun said yes. I was advised before that the virtuous ministers in the court were all left by Emperor Gao, and the old should not be sparsely populated with the new, which is also very good. He paused, "There is an incident that I wanted to tell you two days ago, and I want to crown your fourth brother Xu Zengshou as the Duke of Dingguo." ”

Xu Miaoyun's face changed suddenly, and she immediately sat up straight, "No." The eldest brother of Miaoyun has inherited the title of Duke of Wei, and the fourth brother has also been posthumously named the Marquis of Yang. According to the law of etiquette, there can be no two dukes in one door, how can he be named the duke of Dingguo again? ”

"The edict has been prepared, and Xu Jingchang, the son of Xu Zengshou, will succeed his father as the duke of Dingguo."

"Jingchang? He is only fifteen years old, how can he inherit the title? She looked at his face in amazement, which was unmistakable and unshakable to her.

She lowered her gaze, "Since it is not the will of the concubine, the concubine does not need to thank her." "Pick up the book on the floor and look through it.

Zhu Di saw that she was alienated, and he was not annoyed, staring at her and flipping through the pages.

She couldn't hear the movement of the person next to her for a long time, she held back and didn't look at him, and raised her voice: "Yanyin." ”

Yanyin quickly brought tea and laid it out in front of her. Xu Miaoyun raised her hand to get the teacup, and was stunned for a moment.

A pair of white porcelain tea cups on the plate, thin as paper, with dark lines of branches and leaves, delicate and shiny light. The tea soup is lined with a clear and bright one, and the golden wooden trees in the white cup on the side are filled with the fragrance of tea.

She took the white porcelain cup, and couldn't put it down, so much so that she forgot to drink tea, "How can it be so thin, transparent, and so ...... as if it was out of the womb."

He also took a slow drink, "The new system in the inner house has produced a few good things, and I have replaced the bowls, cups and plates that I usually use with white porcelain." ”

Seeing that her joy was overflowing, he cleared his throat, "This one, thank you is also exempt from ......"

Listening to him with a little smugness, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and smiled again, "Jie Su Yingran, very suitable for the heart, thank you ......"

He held her hand in his palm, "It's been a long time since I've seen you show your face like this, is Miaoyun still thinking about Bei ......?"

"Nope." She quickly interrupted him, "All the thoughts in my heart are in front of me, and there is nothing to worry about." It's just that the killing that I've seen over the years is too heavy, and my heart is often unsafe. ”

He added new tea, "Some time ago, Si Dao and Jin Zhong Ti Tianxi Temple asked for a fee, and I have repaired it by the Ministry of Works, adding new ones than the old. Tianxi Temple was originally Changgan Temple, and it was also the first temple in the south of the Jiangnan of Dongwu. ”

"Jianchu Temple." She was fascinated, "There is also the Ashoka Pagoda, which is rumored to be one of the 84,000 pagodas of Ashoka, dedicated to the induction relics. ”

Her expression softened slightly, "I need to go to Tianxi Temple on a certain day......"

"Let's hold off for a while." He said suddenly.

Seeing him frowning, she said loudly: "But are you worried about the case of the water demon's recurrence?" ”

"I don't have a clue yet."

"At the beginning, it was rumored that it was my fourth brother......"

"I believe it's not about longevity. This person killed seven people in a row at that time, spread the story of the troubled times and the collapse of the country in the city, and sang the song of Qingxi sister-in-law......"

"Aunt Qingxi?" Her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered the appearance of a person, "That Tongfu, where is it now?" You won't ...... her too."

He glanced at her, "How did you think of her?" "Slowly, slowly," she was now in the Leaky Carving Hall. ”

"Missing the Temple? Such a lively little girl, detained, how can she keep it so lonely? ”

"Locked? Can I detain her? She is willing to stay there, it is nothing more than that Tong Junlu is now in the palace, and she has a concern in her heart......" He suddenly paused and looked at her carefully, "The queen doesn't ask about the prince, how can she care about such a little girl?" ”

Before she could speak, she heard a sound not far behind her, turned her head and said with a smile: "Chi'er, come in." ”

Soon I saw a person walking quickly and slightly unsteadily into the garden, wearing a dark blue troll, with a sweaty face.

Zhu Gaochi arrived and saw that his father was also there, and he was busy saluting respectfully.

Yanyin handed over the handkerchief early, Xu Miaoyun took it, walked to Zhu Gaochi, and wiped his sweat for him, "Chi'er practiced riding and shooting?" ”

Zhu Gaochi gasped, "After returning to my mother, my son will come back after practicing." ”

"I heard that Blazing's archery skills have improved a lot." She wrung another clean handkerchief.

Zhu Gaochi hung his head, "Compared to Gao Xu, it's still a lot worse......"

"The Jingshi River Road case," Zhu Di suddenly said on the side, "I still need to think about it." ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Erchen is about to go to Lord Zhao to check the case file." In Jinyi Weizhong, there are very few people who have good water quality and are familiar with the waterways of Jingshi, so the investigation is delayed. The minister is going to the water division to transfer manpower......"

"There is a clever one in the Leaky Carving Palace, and Chi'er can use it." Xu Miaoyun turned her head to look at Zhu Di.
