"Oh?" When the queen mother heard this, she showed a look of surprise on her face, "This soldier ruffian who doesn't eat oil and salt actually has a girl she knows?" Do you know what's going on? ”

Yin Xin shook her head, hesitated for a while, and said: "Specifically, the slave maid doesn't know, but I heard that Miss Sisi used to stay in Jiangcheng for a period of time and met Old Man Yao, and then she met Young Master Shao. ”

That's right.

The queen mother showed a somewhat thoughtful look on her face, she thought she was just an ordinary peasant girl, but she actually met Old Man Yao and Shao Wu.

Should I say is it fate or something else?

didn't wait for herself to think about it a little more, she waved her hand, let Yinxin go down and continue to look at the performance off the stage, and pressed the flash of thought she just had in her heart.

Qingyun, who has been sitting on the left hand side of the queen's mother, although listening to the conversation between these two people is a little unreal, but vaguely heard a few names, Old Man Yao, Si Si, Shao Wu.

Because of Shao Wu, he was a little curious about what the two of them just said, but it was not good to ask directly, so he just pretended to be casual and asked, "What did my aunt just say to Sister Yinxin, as if she was not very happy?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that one of the guests invited here today went back first, but I couldn't say a few words properly, which is a bit of a pity." The queen said lightly, and then glanced at the sons who were chanting poems, "After watching this for a long time, have you ever seen someone you like?" ”

"Auntie!" Seeing that his highway did not leave this matter, a touch of crimson floated on his face, and he skimmed his face with disgust, "My aunt is really anxious, I can see what kind of flowers I can see at these glances, it is a lifelong event, and I have to let Qingyu take a closer look, how can it be so easy to decide." ”

"That's right." The queen nodded, then stood up and kissed her throat, with a gentle smile on her face, and said to the young ladies below: "Everyone, watching the performance is probably a little irritating!" The palace ordered someone to prepare the lanterns, how about everyone go to the imperial garden to put the lanterns together? ”

"Of course, if any skillful person is willing to do it himself, then there are materials, pen, ink, books and inkstones, all ready."

Probably because of this laughter, everyone below had a very good impression of this kind-looking queen mother, and a few bold people also smiled and answered, "The queen mother is ready for a few of us, how can a few of us not allow it?" ”

"That's it, I can make my own lanterns, I've wanted to give it a try for a long time."

It was a few sons who had been demoted to a cheerful and outgoing son, and several young ladies nodded their heads when they said a few words, looking eager to try.

Sure enough, I'm still young, so energetic.

The queen sighed in her heart, and without delaying anything, she waved her hand and led people to the imperial garden.

Because of the greeting in advance, there are no other palace maids laughing in the imperial garden at this time, and the queen mother said to the queen concubine in the palace that if you are interested, you can come over and put lanterns together, but most people still don't have this good interest, and only a few people come.

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

The queen mother and her entourage bypassed the rockery, walked to the pavilion next to the pool, and met several concubines sitting there.

"Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Poppy." The queen nodded, "Are you three the only ones here?" Today is such a good day, and people around you don't want to come out to play? ”

"This sister and sister are probably happy and quiet, and they don't want to come out, only the three of us live here and wait for the queen mother to come over!" The person who said these words was Concubine Shu, who stepped forward and saluted, and said.

In the past, in the harem, the relationship between Concubine Shu and the queen was good, and the two would occasionally go to each other's palace to sit and chat, which can be regarded as the kind of confidant.

Concubine De's temperament is also clean, probably because she can't stand Concubine Shu's plea, so she was pulled out! Yu Meiren has only been in the palace for half a year, and she is still young, so it is the time to love to play, and it is not a special thing to come out.

The queen mother nodded, and didn't say anything more, but the rich workers prepared everything and put it aside, and it was still up to the young ladies of each family to pick it up.

I was old, but I didn't have much interest in these things, and I liked to watch these young people play, so I called for tea and snacks to be brought and sat on the pavilion and watched the young people play.

"Qingyu, why don't you go with you? What are you doing with this aunt of mine? Why don't you go play by yourself! ”

Qingyu is good at all, gentle and elegant, soft and generous, but he lacks a little cheerfulness and liveliness of his peers.

When the queen saw that she was also sitting beside her, and drinking tea with her, she couldn't help but drive the people there into the crowd and let them go to play together.

Qing Yu was not very interested in these things, but she couldn't stand her aunt's words, so she obediently walked over, picked up a blank lantern, thought about it for a while, wrote two lines of words underneath, and put the lantern into the water first without waiting for others to see it.

Looking at the lantern that slowly drifted away with the water, Qingya's face showed a moment of loneliness, and no one knew what she wrote on the lantern.

Probably only she knows it in her own heart!

"Brother Lu Yan......"

Qing Yu opened his mouth slightly, revealing a name invisibly, and then as if he had thought of something, the loneliness on his face became more and more intense, and he looked a little out of place with the happy young ladies around him.

"Lord Qingyu, shall we put a lantern together?"

The girls on the side seemed to notice Qingyu, and after a little thought, they sent someone out to talk to the county lord.

The look on Qing Yu's face immediately said cleanly, as if the person with a lonely face just now was not his own appearance, showed a gentle smile, and said to the visitor: "Okay! Let's put out the lanterns together! ”

Seeing that the county lord was so gentle and easy to speak, just standing aside, some of the young ladies who didn't dare to approach came over in an instant, and they chatted with each other. Three-two

After all, no matter what, this is the queen's most beloved niece, the only county lord today, and there must be nothing wrong with building a good relationship.

Chapter 440: Meet the Prince

Probably because of this thought, the atmosphere is much better than before.

But no one knew that behind Qing Yu's gentle expression, all he had was just a hopeless heart.

During the period of time when Si Si entered the palace, although Lu Yan did not follow up and went to the palace together, he did not fall in front of others generously, but he had his own things to do.

Just after seeing Si Si off in the morning, Lu Yan turned a few pages in the room, but after a while, he stood up, turned around and went out, without saying hello to anyone, and came to a remote alley.

The alley is a little dark, but it doesn't look dirty, as if someone is always taking care of it.

Lu Yan stood in front of the door of a house, a little hesitation appeared on his cold face, fleeting, and soon, he reached out and pushed the door open, walked in quietly, turned around and closed the door again.

It was quiet outside the door, as if no one was visiting.

"You're here!"

There was a willow tree planted in the courtyard, and under the tree stood a man dressed in light blue satin, his face was like jade, his hair was long, and he stood up dexterously with a jade crown, and his posture was erect, and his eyebrows became more and more handsome.

It's just that at the first glance of Lu Yan, a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, which brutally destroyed this beautiful picture.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well." Lu Yan lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a voice without any ups and downs: "I haven't seen him for many days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is becoming more and more like an adult, and he has matured a lot, I must have experienced a lot over the years!" ”

"Huh."

When the prince heard this, he raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and said with a little anger in his tone: "Where is it, no matter how much this prince has experienced, he has not experienced as much as General Lu, how about escaping death?" After so many years of incognito, I asked the prince to look for it. ”

"It's just that I don't know that General Lu's life is quite enjoyable, I heard that he already has a wife and children?"

Wife and children?

Lu Yan's already cold expression became more and more cold, raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is humble, what kind of life have I lived all these years, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have a number in his heart!" In that case, why bother with me. ”

"I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect your temperament to become more and more impatient." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sighed: "If it were in the past, you would definitely argue with me for a while, but I didn't expect that I was not the only person who has changed over the years." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you yourself have said it for so many years, people always have to remember beating while remembering, I can't trip over the same stone twice in the same place!"

Lu Yan's undisguised mockery made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face completely cold, he put away his kind look, and looked at the man in front of him mockingly.

In the past, he was always wearing black clothes, obviously he didn't care about anything, and he had to wear armor more days than regular clothes, but Lu Yan, who still attracted everyone's attention, also began to wear a coarse linen dress that was not eye-catching.

"Then what do you say, what is the purpose of sending a signal in private to ask to see Prince Ben?"

"I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is often worried, and because of my appearance, the Emperor is suspicious of you, and I also know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent assassins to assassinate me, but it has not been successful, but these are not major problems."

Lu Yan looked at him with a pair of eyes, as if he had insight into everything, and said: "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would rather promise me one thing, I can not blame the past for some things that happened before, and I will never return to the imperial court again, and hide in a remote place to be an inconspicuous ordinary person." ”

"Oh?" After hearing these words, the prince raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Lu Yan with interest, "What kind of request is it that you are willing to make such a big concession, you might as well say it and let this prince listen to it, after hearing it, this prince has another decision." ”

"This matter is very simple, for Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is just a matter of casual orders."

Lu Yan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes darkened slightly, his voice became a little low, and he said: "I already know the news that my parents have been imprisoned in the heavenly prison and have died, and I also know that even if they die in that kind of place, it is unlikely that the corpse will be buried properly." ”

"What's more, it's a 'traitor' like me!" Lu Yan smiled a little sarcastically, "I can not blame the past for the past things, and I will not return to the imperial court, there is only one thing, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will carry the corpses of my family out of the prison and exchange them for me, so that I can bury my family properly and let their corpses sleep in peace." ”

took such a big risk and secretly asked himself out, but it was just for a few corpses?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Lu Yan several times before he turned his gaze away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile of unknown meaning.

I thought that after so many years, the person in front of me would change a lot, but I didn't expect that the original personality had not changed much.

"I thought there was something difficult, but it's just these little things, so you make a big deal and take the risk to come to see me?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat down and supported his cheek with one hand, crooked, and looked at Lu Yan with interest, as if he was teasing his own pet, and said: "Lu Yan, when did you become so restrained in front of me, no matter how you say that we have grown up together since childhood, this little thing is worth paying such a big price?" ”

"If it's you, it's okay to make a few more requests, as long as I can do it, I'll still agree."

How many more requests? Answer?

Lu Yan couldn't help but sneer, he still knew that he grew up with him, since he grew up together, how could he not know his temperament, and he pretended to be pure and good on the bad water of his stomach, which was his usual method.

"Why do you have to say more, I naturally know who you are, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also understands what kind of character I am, this teasing look of cats and dogs should be put away, after all, I am not the dog in your bedroom!"

"Eh, is it really good to say it directly? Aren't you afraid that I'll be angry and kill you? ”
