As Zhang Weiwei said, it was already in the middle of the moon when the prince came back quickly.

At the beginning, he received the news that Empress Xuanxue Ke had entered the palace and was anxious to come back, but when he was being dissuaded by the generals, he received a second message, saying that Miss Tang had arranged for Ah Liu to enter the palace instead, so that he would be relieved to take state affairs seriously. Later, on the way, I got the news that Ah Liu had returned to Baopu Courtyard, and I was even more relieved.

The prince got off the horse and rushed directly to the Baopu Temple.

Today is the winter solstice, and from today onwards you can eat the pot, the red charcoal fire is simmering, the pot is steaming, and there is a winter atmosphere.

Mama Zhang was shocked by everyone again, and ordered the kitchen to make a table full of pot dishes, Xue Ke ordered someone to put a table alone, dialed half of the table of dishes, and opened a jar of Huiquan wine, so that Mama Zhang and Ah Liu sat aside.

The three of them said as they ate, and the heat slowly filled the room. Xue Ke also took off his coat and took off the hairpin ring, Xue Ke and Mama Zhang drank some wine, Mama's usual solemn face was also flushed, Xue Ke tilted his head and smiled: "Ten years younger, Mama must be a big beauty!" ”

Ah Liu looked at Mama Zhang carefully and nodded seriously.

Mama Zhang patted Ah Liu, laughed and scolded a few times: "Phew! You're laughing at me with the girl, too! ”

Laughter and aroma spread out of the courtyard. The prince couldn't help but relax his steps and smiled unconsciously.

When I entered the house, the heating of the pot came to my face. Several people hurriedly got up to greet them.

Hearing that the prince hadn't eaten dinner yet, Mama Zhang immediately ordered someone to add dishes and chopsticks, and the prince waved his hand and said, "You don't need to add dishes, these are good." Xing'er also went to eat two bites. He glared at Xue Ke again: "Don't drink anymore." ”

Originally, he had traveled dozens of kilometers today, and at this moment he felt relaxed and extremely hungry, but the prince swept it like a storm, and added two more bowls of rice than usual, and there were a few more dishes on the table. Mama Zhang smacked her lips in distress, only feeling that he couldn't eat enough and didn't warm up outside.

After eating, the prince got up and said, "It's not early, I'll go back." Xue Ke also sent the prince to the gate of the courtyard with a smile. Everything looks the same as usual.

It's just that today's things are strange, since the queen summoned Xue Ke into the palace, how could she be safely placed out? When the prince went back, he summoned Zhang Guard, and when he heard that Xue Ke had entered the Suzheng Hall, he immediately called the little eunuch on duty today. After asking the little eunuch, the prince vaguely guessed the outline in his heart, and when he was about to confirm it by the people in the door, Xing'er reported that Ah Liu was already waiting outside the door.

"Is the girl asleep?"

"Back to Your Highness, the girl has just rested."

After Ah Liu finished talking about the affairs in the palace, the prince's face became even more gloomy and asked, "Didn't the eunuch leave any letters in the end?" ”

"Nope." Ah Liu replied expressionlessly.

The prince looked at her and said, "It's good that you come back safely." Go back and rest. He waved her hand and told her to stand down.

After Ah Liu withdrew, she found that her palms were sweaty, and she was not so nervous even in the palace. She kept comforting herself, and it was not to deceive His Highness, but the prince did not continue to ask, and besides, the eunuch just left a sentence, and there was indeed no letter to give and receive privately.

When Xing'er came in again, he found that the good mood of the master when he came out of the Baopu Courtyard was gone, and his face was pale.

When I was alive and dead, I thought of letting King Qin come to the rescue, and then said to myself that it was okay, and I didn't have the heart to eat and drink when I came back? The prince felt that the nest was extremely hot.
