The carriage traveled all the way quickly, familiar with the road towards Jiankang Palace, although it was the official road, after all, the road in ancient times was not very smooth, and it was inevitable that there would be some bumps.

Just when Hagi Niang was thinking about her thoughts in a daze, the carriage seemed to have pressed a large stone, jumped up suddenly, and tossed heavily to the left, Huan Xuan saw that she was about to hit the wooden frame on the side, and hurriedly reached out to protect her and held her shoulder, so as not to hit her head.

Hagi Niang came back to her senses and reflexively pushed him away, her eyes full of uncontrollable disgust.

Seeing this, Huan Xuan withdrew his hand sneeringly, looked at the other side in embarrassment, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to help you." ”

Hagi Niang was also a little embarrassed, the other party really had no malicious intent, and she was her current food and clothing parents, so she tried to squeeze out a smile and said: "Thank you, I was rude." ”

Although she said this, she still involuntarily reached out and patted the place where Huan Xuan had touched, as if to brush away the dust that did not exist.

Huan Xuan had a slightly injured expression in his eyes, but he just turned sideways and knelt to sit, so as not to be seen by Hagi Niang's lost expression.

The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward for a while, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Huan Xuan asked in a pretending relaxed tone, "What's the matter, can you still accept my suggestion?" If you trust your Yanlang enough, you won't refuse my bet that you must win. ”

Hagi Niang also replied playfully in a relaxed tone: "I do trust Yanlang, but I don't dare to trust you." ”

Huan Xuan laughed and teased her: "Dead duck has a hard mouth, it's just a person like you, you know what kind of person your Yanlang is, he may really like you, but for him, there are too many things that are more important than you, the honor of the family, the responsibility of the head of the family, how can you be compared to an ordinary sister-in-law." ”

Hagi Niang said: "It is true that you can't be too selfish to be a man, I don't think that regardless of all the responsibilities, the person who only pursues his own momentary pleasure can really get happiness in the end, and he will eventually be unable to feel at ease because of the guilt in his heart." ”

These words seemed to mean something, Huan Xuan was upset in his heart, and said something else: "Do you know who we are going to pick up when we enter the palace tonight?" ”

Hagi Niang already had a guess in her heart, but she asked with a puzzled face: "I don't know anyone in the palace, is it someone I can guess?" ”

She pretended to be suddenly enlightened and asked in surprise, "Is it ...... The Queen Mother? The rumors turned out to be true, but how dare you risk the world's condemnation to abduct the Queen Mother from the palace? ”

Huan Xuan hurriedly said: "You can't talk nonsense, once the queen mother leaves the palace, she is nothing, what am I going to do with her?" ”

He remembered the previous rumors, and said unhappily: "Don't pretend there, you haven't guessed yet, who instigated my wife Liu, and who deliberately spread and expanded those so-called rumors?" If I am really so ignorant and unconscious, how can I be worthy to fight for this world? ”

As he spoke, the carriage was approaching the Imperial Palace, and a little fire was reflected outside the lattice window, apparently approaching the Imperial City Gate, and the sergeants patrolling with torches were already faintly visible.

It was the first time for Hagi Niang to observe the Jiankang Imperial Palace so closely, only to see that the nine-fold palace was not as majestic as she imagined, compared with the magnificent pomp of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the simple imperial city walls were only made of gray stone, and the style was not much worse.

Huan Xuan saw her disappointed look and said with a smile: "How gorgeous do you think this palace is, it hasn't been many years since the Jin Dynasty moved the capital to Jiankang, this palace was still repaired when Xie Xiang was alive, and it was even more cold before." ”

Although there were sergeants patrolling back and forth outside the palace gate, it seemed that they were very tightly guarded, but the sergeants saw Huan Xuan's carriage but did not want to take a closer look, and the guard led by the general even smiled and said to Huan Xuan: "Huan Gong is good, Huan Gong entered the palace so late, it is too hard." ”

Yes, no matter how you hear this, I feel very obscene, and with the ambiguous expression on the general's face, I am afraid that the rare royal affair in Jiankang City is known to everyone, and everyone knows about it.

Hagi Niang has no doubt that the general will definitely tell his wife's relatives and friends about this when he returns home, "Do you know, I saw Nanjun Gong, he is really suave, he is really a ...... who entered the palace late at night to meet the queen mother" Those who have noses and eyes, and those who can't help but listen don't believe it.

Huan Xuan didn't have any expression, just said hello lightly, and then ordered the house slave to enter the palace, and walked in the direction of the inner palace with familiarity.

This Jiankang City is really tight on the outside and loose on the inside, on the surface, there are many sergeants patrolling, after entering the palace, it is very rare, it seems that there is no one else, and there is no light, if the person who has never entered the palace will be lost.

Hagi Niang looked at the darkness nervously, and asked suspiciously, "Why is the palace so quiet, is there no one to live in?" ”

Huan Xuan smiled and patiently explained: "This is the outer palace, that is, the place where the emperor governs and meets the ministers on weekdays, which is equivalent to the outer courtyard in the house. ”

"Further inside, there is the inner palace, that is, where the ladies live, and now there is no one in the east palace, and the two princes of the first emperor live in the inner palace, so it looks even more unpopular here."

"The inner palace is guarded by Wang Ya's Yulin Army, even if others can't get through, we can still get in."

When Hagi Niang heard the keyword "Wang Ya", she hurriedly asked, "Why did Wang Ya obey your orders?" Do you have a good relationship with him? ”

Since Huan Xuan decided to treat her with sincerity, he was unwilling to deceive her with false words, he replied seriously: "Wang Ya, this person, has no hobbies, and no party friends, if you want to impress him, it is useless to rely on ethereal friendship, only by mastering the things he cares about the most can I send him, and I only happen to find out his heart, so that I can temporarily use him, and this is not a long-term solution." ”

What's that? Hagi Niang was a little puzzled, but she was embarrassed to ask again, and she was a little silent for a while.

The Jiankang Palace is not big, and you can see the chaotic lights from a distance, which is a little less than in front of the outer palace.

She turned to Huan Xuan, and was about to ask him why there were so few guards in the inner palace, but she saw him frowning with a nervous expression.

Hagi followed his line of sight, and saw that the lights were not patrolling sergeants, but several carriages, which were parked on the side of the road, and a group of young women dressed in uniform light green robes were standing together and discussing.

Huan Xuan hurriedly ordered people to drive the carriage over, and when the group of women saw someone coming, they dodged one after another, some covered their faces with wide sleeves, and some turned around and didn't dare to look at people, but they were quiet for a while.

Hagi Niang hurriedly asked, "Who are these people?" ”

Huan Xuan stopped the carriage and replied, "It's all palace maids." Don't get out of the car yet, I'll ask what's going on. ”
