After returning to the capital, Zhang Yue returned to her previous days in Kunning Palace, the only difference was that Zhu Youzhu spoiled her more than before when she came back this time, and everything followed her heart.

Afraid that Zhang Yue would be angry, Zhu Youzhu planned to let the secret guard Rushui, who had been arranged by Zhang Yue's side, leave Kunning Palace. Zhang Yue didn't drive away Rushui, and treated her like before, but she was not allowed to be Zhu Youzhang's secret guard anymore, and let her become a simple maid by her side who knew martial arts. Zhu Youzhu acquiesced and removed Rushui from the secret guard.

As for Huai'en, when he heard the news of Zhang Yue's return, he was not too surprised, he just sighed and said nothing.

Soon Huai En resigned from the post of the eunuch in charge of the seal, Zhu Youzhu repeatedly failed to retain, and gave Huai En a quiet and elegant mansion in the capital to support the elderly, and at the same time rewarded him with a lot of property and expensive medicines, Huai En was old and sick, Zhu Youzhu also specially instructed the Tai Hospital to recuperate for Huai En. So far, Wynne has never asked about the affairs of the DPRK and China again.

Zhang Yue felt a little guilty after hearing this, and felt that it was her own reason that made Huaien resign, and after Zhu Youzhu found out, he comforted her not to worry too much. Letting Wynne settle down in his old age is the most important thing. Heavy government affairs may not be a good thing for his health and longevity, Zhang Yue is more relieved after listening to it.

In the blink of an eye, the summer is about to pass, Zhu Youzhang's injury has been completely healed, and he will dance swordsmanship in the palace courtyard of Kunning Palace for a while in his spare time, which makes Zhang Yue always applaud and pester him to teach himself swordsmanship, and Zhu Youzhu is also happy.

The life in the palace is as monotonous as ever, in order to adjust his life, Zhang Yue will occasionally take the token given by Zhu Youzhu out of the palace to relax, and will also let Xiaotong take advantage of the time to go to the imperial tea prison to get tea, and come back to relieve boredom.

On this day, Xiaotong had just returned from the Imperial Tea Prison to get new tea, and said to Zhang Yue mysteriously, "Niangniang, I just heard a news. ”

As soon as Zhang Yue heard that there was something new to hear, he immediately pricked up his ears and leaned over, "Tell me about it!" ”

"I heard that Prince Xing and Princess Jiang have quarreled very fiercely recently, Jiang is not the daughter of a military general, and he scratched the face of Prince Xing, Prince Xing was angry and wanted to divorce his wife, the princess went to Concubine Shao to cry, and Concubine Shao has run to Xingwangfu several times in order to persuade peace."

"Ahh So serious! Why are you arguing? Zhang Yue asked curiously.

"Not long ago, Xing Wangye accepted a new concubine room, I heard that it was the daughter of a small stall owner selling tofu, Xing Wangye saw it once and fell in love with it, married into the palace, it is said that they are all favored to the sky, and they have snubbed other wives and concubines in the house. Somehow, there was a friction between the princess and the concubine, and the princess slapped the concubine. The prince knew, and in order to avenge his concubine, he beat the princess, and then the princess began to make endless trouble! ”

Zhang Yue understood at this time, and sighed lightly, "Look, what's so good about having a lot of wives and concubines at home?" Fights all day long. Xiaotong, if you marry Mu Bin in the future, you can't let her take a concubine. ”

Xiao Tong's face suddenly became ugly, and he muttered, "Who wants to marry him!" ”

Zhang Yue smiled and teased, "Eh, I heard that a few days ago, Mu Bin was promoted to be the commander of Jinyiwei, and he became a member of the Zhengsanpin at a young age. ”

Xiaotong's face was ugly, "Whoever wants to marry can marry, it can't be me anyway." As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Zhang Yue was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Silly girl, I'm joking with you, why are you still serious, don't cry, okay, no noble girl from any family is as good as our Xiaotong, oh oh, don't cry." ”

But Xiaotong's tears wanted to be closed in the spring, and they poured out. Zhang Yue realized that something was wrong, and quickly held Xiaotong's hand and asked, "Xiaotong, what happened?" Recently, I found out that you were a little absent-minded, and I thought you were missing your lover, and I didn't think much about it, it seems that you have something on your mind, tell me, is someone bullying you. Is it Mu Bin? ”

Xiaotong's eyes were red from crying, "Niangniang, I'm done with Mu Bin... Whining!! ”

The more Zhang Yue listened, the more confused he became, "What's the end?" You make it clear! ”

"A few days ago, Mu Bin took me to his house to meet his parents, and I made a few snacks for his parents. But after meeting, his parents not only didn't eat, but also said that I was a cheap maid and not worthy of their son, and asked me to stay away from Mu Bin. They said that they had already proposed marriage for Mu Bin, and that she was the eldest daughter of Lord Wang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Let me stop being delusional. Mother, I feel so uncomfortable....."

Zhang Yue's brows tightened, and her lips pursed, "What about Mu Bin?" How did his parents react when they said that about you? ”

"He tried to dissuade his parents from coming, but the more his parents talked, the more unpleasant it became, and I ran away in anger."

"You ran out of the Mu Mansion, didn't he chase you?"

"He chased after me, but he couldn't convince his parents to accept me, and... And my background really can't be changed, so that day, outside the Mu Mansion, I told him a decisive word. ”

Zhang Yue was shocked and stood up, "What?" You say that you have left him? Didn't he redeem it? ”

"These days, he has asked me to meet several times in private, but I haven't seen him, since I can't see the future between me and him, why delay his good marriage. It's just that my heart hurts so much.... Miss..."

Xiaotong said and threw himself into Zhang Yue's arms.

Zhang Yue stroked Xiaotong's back, "Okay, don't cry, don't cry!" ”

At this moment, Rushui entered the palace and announced, "Qi Niangniang, the Jinyi Guard commanded Lord Mu to meet outside the palace." ”

Xiao Tong heard it and buried his head in Zhang Yue's arms, "Niangniang, I don't want to see him..."

Zhang Yue sneered, "Hmph! Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives! It's good to be here! Zhiqiu, you helped Xiaotong to avoid the side hall from the side door, and by the way, she washed her face, her eyes were swollen from crying. ”

After Zhiqiu took Xiaotong away, Zhang Yue turned his head and said, "Xuan Mubin comes in." ”

After a while, Mu Bin led some people holding brocade boxes into the hall, and Mu Bin quickly looked around the hall from the corner of his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.

After he saluted Zhang Yue, he said respectfully: "Niangniang, I will send the grapes and honeydew melons that have just been paid tribute in the Western Regions for Niangniang. Please enjoy it. ”

Zhang Yue sat on the top seat, glanced at the brocade box behind him, picked up a cup of tea in front of him, took a sip lightly, and said slowly, "Master Mu? ”

"Mu Bin is here."

"What is the duty of this brocade guard?"

Mu Bin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "Back to Niangniang, the Jinyi Guard is in charge of the guards and patrols and arrests." ”

"Well, okay, the matter of sending fruit to this palace, no matter what, it won't be Lord Mu's turn."

Mu Bin was shocked, "Back to Niangniang, when Your Majesty gave an edict today, it happened that the minister was next to him, so he took this errand, so he could take this opportunity to say goodbye to Niangniang." ”

Zhang Yue sneered, "Please!" Hum! The palace is in a very uneasy mood today, this fruit is a hot thing, and the palace will thank the emperor for his kindness. Trouble Lord Mu, and then send it back to the emperor. ”

Mu Bin hurriedly said, "Niangniang! This..."

Zhang Yue put down the tea bowl, "The palace is tired, Lord Mu, please go back." After speaking, he didn't look at Mu Bin anymore.

Mu Bin wanted to say something, but Rushui next to him quickly blocked in front of Mu Bin, stretched out his hand and said, "Niangniang is going to rest, please follow Niangniang's will and send the fruit back!" Please! ”

Mu Bin's face changed again and again, so he had to get up and lead people out of Kunning Palace.
