Fengyi Palace.

"Meet the Queen." As soon as she entered, Su Nuo'er saluted in a proper manner.

When the queen saw her coming, she waved away the palace maids who were waiting on her left and right, got up and pulled her to the table and sat down. "I called you here because I wanted to tell you something."

The table was full of dishes, and the queen personally took the food and served it to Su Nuo'er, and said, "Just accompany me to eat something." Since your mother died, I haven't had anyone close to me for many years. ”

Su Nuo'er hurriedly took it and did not speak.

The queen is already over forty years old, but she is better than good maintenance, her face is not old, just like a person who is just about thirty, her heart is indifferent, and she has added a little soft physiognomy, and she looks very approachable.

But it's only for Su Nuo'er.

"I heard that your brother and sister just came back today, and they were called into the palace, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I asked you to ask." The queen didn't have the heart to eat, and she wanted to ask Su Nuo'er to come and dine with her just under the guise of it.

Su Nuo'er shook her head: "There is nothing else, but the emperor's illness is a little strange." ”

"What's strange?" The queen asked, but she didn't look interested.

"According to the emperor's symptoms, it is either poisoning or Zhong Gu, if the imperial doctor can't detect it, the possibility of Zhong Gu will be greater."

After listening to Su Nuo'er, the queen asked, "Are you planning to cure him?" ”

"Hmm." Su Nuo'er nodded. The queen has always been good friends with her mother, and after her mother died, she took good care of her brother and sister in the General's Mansion, not that her mother is better than her mother, so Su Nuo'er has nothing to hide from her, so she directly said her thoughts. "The old emperor can't die now, if he dies, it will be no surprise that the crown prince An Jiuchen will ascend the throne, and when the time comes, he can't retreat from the marriage, and it is far more difficult to deal with An Jiuchen than the old emperor."

The queen nodded slightly, patted the back of her hand and said comfortingly: "Since you have your own way, then I won't say more, just one thing, protect yourself, this palace is a place where you eat people and don't spit out bones, if there is danger, you must find someone to inform me." Do you understand? The worry in the queen's eyes was real, and when she thought of what An Jiuchen said when she came to ask for peace a few days ago, the queen felt a little nervous.

On that day, An Jiuchen said that if Su Nuo'er did not agree to marry him, he would invite her to go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage in person.

An Jiuchen's meaning is very clear, if Su Nuo'er does not agree to the marriage, he will ask her to use the identity of the queen mother to coerce Su Nuo'er, if she refuses, then the assassin may infiltrate the Fengyi Palace at any time.

The queen sighed slightly, she was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of a pity for Su Nuo'er. In case she can't protect her and let An Jiuchen succeed, then how can she be worthy of her mother? "No'er, you are considered to have grown up with me, although the reputation outside is not very good, but I know that this is just your disguise, how can a daughter born of an excellent woman like your mother be just a straw bale. Now you just have to do what you want, like your mother, don't care about the world's eyes, you know, I will always be there to support you and protect you. ”

Although she is a queen, she will also be threatened by others, and there will be times when the whip is beyond her reach, only when Su Nuo'er is strong can she truly protect herself.

"The prince has been fostered in my name since he was a child, and I know his temperament very well, once he identifies something, he will do it by any means. No'er, you must be careful of him, don't fall for his tricks. ”

Su Nuo'er nodded, held the queen's somewhat cold hand and said seriously: "I know, I will protect myself, and I will protect my mother." ”

The queen never asked about the crown prince and the old emperor, although the queen behaved very naturally, she still felt it, and the queen was panicking. Although she didn't know what the queen was afraid of, she could guess that it must be something related to her.

The queen was pleased, patted the back of her hand and said, "Look at me, I called you here to eat, don't talk about this, eat something while it's hot, and send you back later." ”

Besides, she was afraid of being discovered by Su Nuo'er, this child is very smart, it's a pity...... The queen sighed silently in her heart, and only vigorously sandwiched the dishes for Su Nuo'er.

Until he came out of Fengyi Palace, it was already the sun in the west.

The queen wanted to send someone to send Su Nuo'er back to her house, but Su Nuo'er refused, she still had to go to Tianxue Mountain, and it was really inconvenient to be followed. Therefore, Su Nuo'er left the palace alone, but she didn't expect to meet a few acquaintances halfway.

Su Nuo'er quietly got closer, and the people in front of her were all facing away from her, and there were a few people dressed as gangsters lying on the ground, unable to move.

"The Son of Heaven dares to make trouble at his feet, I think you are impatient!" The veiled woman said righteously, "If you know your mistakes, I will let you go once, if you do this kind of thing again, I will not spare it!" As he spoke, he kicked one of the thugs, "Get out!" ”

The thugs hurriedly got up and ran away.

A woman in blue clothes thanked gratefully: "Thanks to Miss Su's help, otherwise Wanwan would have been bullied by those people." ”

It turned out to be Xia Wanwan.

Su Nuoer raised her eyebrows, dare to love this is a drama of a chivalrous woman saving a beauty? Su Nuo'er couldn't help but sneer when she looked at Xia Wanwan pretending to be weak, the whole world owes this Xia Wanwan an Oscar little golden man, not to mention anything else, is she Xia Wanwan the kind of delicate lady who can't do any kung fu at all? With her martial arts, even ten more thugs would not be a problem. Now you need someone else to save you?

Here, Su Qinghe waved his hand, signaling that Xia Wanwan didn't have to be so polite. "The road is uneven, since you are fine, let's hurry back to the house with your maid, it's not safe when it's dark."

Xia Wanwan thanked her again: "Miss Qinghe doesn't care about Wanwan's offense last time, she saved Wanwan just now, how to say it, she should also thank her." As he spoke, he took out an invitation from his sleeve and said, "It just so happens that tomorrow Wanwan is going to hold a flower viewing party in the mansion, I wonder if Miss Qinghe can come to participate?" ”

Su Qinghe frowned, she just couldn't get used to those gangsters bullying people, so she saved her, but it didn't mean that she was willing to have something to do with her. Therefore, he said: "Miss Xia has a good idea, but there are just some things tomorrow, and the flower viewing party will not go." ”

"It won't be for a long time, just think it's to thank Miss Su for saving her life, and tomorrow I will put up a banquet to thank you." Xia Wanwan insisted on stuffing the invitation into Su Qinghe's hand, with a hint of expectation in her expression, "Isn't it that Miss Su doesn't want to make friends with Wanwan?" ”

"This ......" Su Qinghe was a little embarrassed.

Su Nuo'er had enough of watching the play, so she walked out, and said while walking to Su Qinghe's side: "Since Miss Xia sincerely invited you, you can go, there are flowers to enjoy and delicious food, how good." ”

"Noel?" When Su Qinghe saw that it was Su Nuo'er, he was immediately overjoyed, grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "When did you come back?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

Su Nuo'er grinned: "Didn't I just come out of the palace, I met you on the way, so I came to say hello." ”

Since Su Mo's birthday banquet last time, Su Qinghe often went to the General's Mansion to find Su Nuo'er, and the two of them had a good temperament, so they naturally became good friends who talked about everything.

"Great, you're finally back, you'll go to my house tomorrow, I've saved a lot of novelties waiting for you to come and see!" Su Qinghe pulled Su Nuo'er and kept talking, completely ignoring Xia Wanwan on the side.

Xia Wanwan was still holding the invitation card in her hand, watching Su Qinghe and Su Nuo'er talking and laughing, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Why, doesn't she Su Nuo'er just occupy a good identity, if she wasn't born in the General's Mansion, where can she Su Nuo'er compare to her? Now that she wants to befriend Su Qinghe, she has to come out to hinder her, Su Nuo'er, aren't you just relying on you to be the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion?

Xia Wanwan suppressed the resentment in her heart, and there was always a shallow smile on her face, and she seemed to be happy for Su Qinghe to see Su Nuo'er. "Sister Nuo'er is also back, why don't we come and enjoy the flowers together tomorrow, I have collected a lot of precious flower seeds."

"Okay!" Su Nuo'er readily agreed, she wanted to see what tricks Xia Wanwan was going to play this time, there was nothing urgent about it now, after enjoying the flowers during the day, she happened to go to the palace at night to see the old emperor.

Seeing that Su Nuo'er agreed, Su Qinghe also changed his words: "Since this is the case, then I will go too." ”

Xia Wanwan said happily: "Then tomorrow Wanwan will be waiting for you in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

The goal was achieved, and Xia Wanwan led the maid back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as Xia Wanwan left, Su Qinghe asked, "Don't you dislike her?" Why did you promise to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to enjoy the flowers? ”

Su Nuo'er smiled, leaned close to her ear and said, "Don't forget that Xia Wanwan and I grew up together, I don't know if she can do martial arts?" She can also deceive you into being so stupid and sweet. ”

"This?" Su Qinghe thought for a moment about the scene of Xia Wanwan being bullied, and then understood, and said indignantly: "I said that why did I just run into her being bullied when I went out today, as soon as I appeared, she shouted at me for help, I was veiled, she could recognize me, so I am afraid that she had already arranged it, and I still wanted to save her by doing chivalrous deeds!" ”

Su Nuo'er didn't speak, Xia Wanwan's tricks were too obvious, that is, Su Qinghe, who didn't know her, would really believe that people like Xia Wanwan would actually know how to repay their kindness.

Thinking of Xia Wanwan, Su Nuo'er couldn't help but sigh. What is the reason why Xia Zhuofeng chose to give up his biological daughter Xia Yan and choose to keep Xia Wanwan, who has no blood relationship with him?

"What do you think?" Su Qinghe patted Su Nuo'er on the shoulder, pointed to a restaurant with lanterns not far away, and his tone was full of envy, "Have you seen the restaurant that hasn't been listed yet?" ”

Looking at it by moonlight, the three-storey restaurant sits in the middle of the street, occupying the best position on the main street.

"That's?"

"I don't know who bought it, but I know that a very rich man bought this restaurant, but the strange thing is that it was neither renovated nor opened, and it has been idle for many days." Su Qinghe repeated the gossip he had heard, and in short, he was very curious about the identity of the owner of the restaurant.

Su Nuoer looked at the location of the restaurant, and sighed in her heart, the location of this restaurant is good, the time and place are favorable, if it is opened, you will not worry about making a fortune.

"If I know the owner of this restaurant, maybe I can talk to him about transferring this restaurant to me?" Su Nuo'er secretly made a small calculation.

Su Nuo'er was still thinking about it, Su Qinghe stretched his waist and said, "It's getting late, I'm going home, otherwise I'll be scolded again, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together." ”

Su Qinghe yawned and left, "You should go back early!" ”

Su Nuo'er answered, but went directly in the direction of Tianxue Mountain.

Tianxue Mountain, in the Forget Worry Pavilion.

Su Nuo'er went directly to Gu Ruobai's room with a familiar car, thinking that he shouldn't have rested at this time, but he didn't think that it was already dark in front of the house.

"Sleeping?" Su Nuo'er wanted to push the door in, but after thinking about it, she retracted her hand, hesitated for a while, forget it, come back tomorrow.

Just as he was about to leave, the door creaked open.

Gu Ruobai only wore a snow-white undershirt, standing at the door and looking at Su Nuo'er quietly. The soft moonlight added a hint of fireworks to Gu Ruobai's shocked face.

"You didn't sleep?"

Gu Ruobai glanced at her, turned sideways to give way, and motioned for her to go in. "Guess you're coming."

Su Nuo'er obediently entered the house, and almost immediately saw the purple shirt hanging on the hanger.

It was the handwriting of the famous embroidery girl Qiaoxiu Huan in the imperial city. The brocade forging is like flowing clouds, like flowing water, and like floating little stars, the neckline is embroidered with a red plum, the sleeves on both sides are embroidered with a few flowing clouds, and the skirt is embroidered with gold thread, embellished with lilac pearls. The rest are lilac flowing cloud brocade, the whole dress is gorgeous and beautiful, worthy of the handwriting of Qiaoxiu embroidery.

Under the candlelight, the clothes seemed to float with floating clouds, dreamy and beautiful.

"It is said that Qiaoxiu Embroidery only makes one dress a year, how did you make her make this?"

Gu Ruobai picked up the clothes and handed them to her, and said softly: "I made it a long time ago, but I haven't had a chance to give it to you, thinking that I will look for you tomorrow, you will come to me." ”

Su Nuo'er gently stroked the material of the clothes, which was surprisingly soft and comfortable to the touch. "What is this dress called?"

Qiaoxiu embroidery has a rule, only make one piece of clothing a year, and personally name the clothes, someone wants to buy, if she doesn't want to sell, even if she can't buy it for ten thousand taels of gold. If she sees you close her eyes, she will directly give you clothes worth 10,000 taels. Qiaoxiu embroidered Niang's clothes are difficult to buy, even if the queen wants to wear them, it depends on her mood and whether she wants to sell them, because the women in the imperial city are proud to have a dress made by her.

Gu Ruobai put on a coat for her, bowed his head and tied a ribbon for her and said, "This is called Siqing." Xiuniang said that she admired a woman like you, and knew that I was going to give it to you, so she gave it to me directly, without taking a penny. ”

Su Nuo'er was surprised: "Hey, I actually have such a big face?" ”

Gu Ruobai looked at her, her eyes were warm: "Well, Nuo'er is the most beautiful woman in the world, so she naturally deserves this." ”

"Oops." Su Nuo'er suddenly covered her face, it was too foul, she was so good-looking and said love to her so seriously, how could she be so lucky to meet such a good Gu Ruobai.

Gu Ruobai's room had already prepared a big bronze mirror for Su Nuo'er, which was just enough to see the whole body. Su Nuo'er walked to the mirror and looked left and right, and couldn't help but sigh at the craftsmanship of the embroiderer, just the coat is so good-looking.

"Is it pretty?" Su Nuo'er turned her head and asked Gu Ruobai.

"Beautiful." Gu Ruobai's gaze never left her.

Su Nuo'er walked over and hugged his waist, looked up and asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to give me clothes?" ”

Gu Ruobai nodded her forehead and said with a smile: "Not only clothes, but also bigger surprises." ”

"What is it?"

Gu Ruobai didn't sell it either, and told her directly: "You don't always want to do business by yourself, there is a restaurant with an excellent location on Ancheng Street, I was satisfied, so I bought it for you." ”

"Huh?" Su Nuo'er was surprised, "You said that you bought that restaurant?" Given to me? ”
