Chapter 181: East Palace
The four of them rode in a soft sedan chair, and the palace maids in the back followed with something, and stopped at the gate of the East Palace quite a little mightily, and the people of the East Palace were also a little stunned when they saw this formation, but fortunately, he was still a little impressed when Su Ruhui followed up that day, and hurriedly rushed in to tell him.
After waiting for a long time, Huo Qinglian and Zhou Yier's faces were already ugly, and only then did a woman dressed in red and green Shi Shiran walk out from inside, but the woman caught a glimpse of four people who were not dressed in the same palace at the door, among which Huo Qinglian's appearance was even more outstanding, and his face suddenly changed, and he could no longer hold the appearance of Shi Shiran, so he hurriedly hurried over to give a salute: "The slave has seen a few young ladies, are the young ladies here to visit the prince?" ”
"Hmph, the rules of this East Palace are really big, even the Queen Mother is not so difficult to see!" Zhou Yi'er raised her chin slightly and said with a sneer.
Huo Qinglian's face was not good-looking, but he said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is injured, I think it is because these slaves and maids took the opportunity to be negligent." ”
Zhou Yi'er also felt that she had said something wrong after her words, she was annoyed that the two accountants dared to take advantage of Gan Lin's injury to let them wait at the gate of the East Palace, such a sentence pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, but it was aimed at Gan Lin first, and when Huo Qinglian said this, he hurriedly said: "When the prince is injured, I will definitely tell him!" ”
Although she didn't know the prince's cousin and almost everyone knew the future princess, there were only a few girls in the palace at this age, and her face turned pale and she didn't dare to say a word.
Su Ruhui and the others are foreign daughters, and they say that they are visiting, but in fact, they were originally sitting in the side hall, saying a few words, and then offering things, not to meet the prince, but generally these two accountants came out to entertain. It's just that this account is about to be liked by the prince, and he thinks that Su Ruhui has caused a big disaster, so he deliberately waited for a long time to come out, but he didn't want to offend Zhou Yi'er and Huo Qinglian immediately, and he only hated Su Ruhui half to death in his heart, but then he understood that even if Su Ruhui made a mistake, it was definitely not her accountant who was born as a little slave and maid to provoke.
Just look at her casually being able to invite this group of people to come over.
It's a pity that it's too late for this accountant to understand, after Zhou Yi'er finished saying that, seeing Huo Qinglian's uncertain face, he sneered: "Sister Lian'er, it was originally inconvenient for us to go in to see the prince like this, but it's just ...... The slaves and maids in the East Palace have no rules like this, it is really unreassuring, we have already arrived here, it is better to go in to see how the prince is injured, and turn around to tell the queen mother and the queen. ”
Zhou Yi'er is the prince's cousin, although there are irregularities in these words, but there is nothing to blame, plus she mentioned the message to the Queen Mother, but the people next to her thought that these young ladies were actually ordered by the Queen Mother to visit. But she didn't want Zhou Yi'er to do this, but she saw Huo Qinglian's mind and deliberately gave her a step.
Huo Qinglian smiled at her: "Since that's the case, then let's go in and have a look." ”
The four of them went in like this, and the secretary was too frightened to speak, but they followed tremblingly, and the guards of the East Palace only dared not stop them if they were following Yi's order, and they arrived at the main hall not long after, Huo Qinglian remembered and called the secretary over: "Where is the prince's injury?" ”
"Return, back to Miss Huo Qi, the prince is now in the dormitory." The account was timid, but she didn't know that Huo and Zhou were from everyone's family, and they were raised by the side of the Empress Dowager Jiayi, who was so happy, and the most unseen thing was the weak and aggrieved appearance of such a small family jasper, seeing her like this, Zhou Yi'er sneered: "But ask where His Royal Highness the Prince is, what are you doing with such a grievance?" Could it be that many people are here in this blue sky and daylight, did Sister Lian'er give you grievances or scold you? To be so frightened? ”
The secretary had already heard that the future crown princess was deeply favored by the queen mother, and even the queen was inferior, and the fear of the queen mother in the sixth palace had already been infiltrated into her bones, how could she dare to be disrespectful to Huo Qinglian?
And Zhou Yi'er is the niece of Queen Zhou, and the accountant didn't dare to offend, and deliberately looked cowardly in the hope of winning sympathy, but he didn't expect to cause an accident, and suddenly stood there and changed his face, this time he was really scared.
I only heard Huo Qinglian put together a shawl and said lightly: "Why should Sister Yi'er bother with a slave?" Let's go back, and we will wait for the Queen Mother to take a break and get up. ”
"I've been delayed by this, I'm afraid it's too late to go back." Zhou Yi'er sneered.
The prince's bedroom, these four girls who have not left the pavilion are inconvenient to enter, and they are about to leave, but they see two people coming out of the main hall, and they are stunned when they see a group of women in their royal highness's clothes, and they subconsciously want to avoid it, but they have just left the main hall of the East Palace, and there is no doubt that there is nothing to dodge.
Fortunately, Su Ruhui's eyes were sharp and he called out to the third brother, and Su Rufeng, one of the two, took the opportunity to step forward: "Ruhui, why are you here?" ”
Huo Qinglian and the others were also quite embarrassed, in fact, these people had met several times when they were children, but they basically didn't speak, and they didn't see each other again when they got older, and in such a sudden situation, fortunately, the Su brothers and sisters took a ladder.
At that moment, the two sides saluted, except for Su Rufeng, the other man who came out of the main hall was a man whom Su Ruhui had never seen, looking one or two years older than Su Rufeng, with a resolute appearance, not smiling, and standing silently on the side after the salute.
Su Rufeng also noticed this, and hurriedly introduced: "This is Brother Zhou, and he is also one of the prince's companions, and he is the son of the hussar general!" ”
"Gongzi Zhou!" Huo Qinglian and the others bowed again, and the companion returned the salute and said briefly: "Read it next week." ”
Zhou Nian was one of the prince's original companions, but because he didn't like to talk, he was replaced by Su Rufeng's class who took up the light of his father and brother before he became the companion, and the prince rarely paid attention to him in recent years, this time it was also because the prince was injured, Zhou Nian had to take the initiative to visit the palace, but he happened to meet Su Rufeng and quit together.
"Rue, are you also here to visit the prince?" Su Rufeng asked a little strangely, of course he already knew the reason for the prince's injury, a few days ago, Wu Dehou once again wrote a letter to ask for the guilt of the woman, just now he came with a large number of medicinal materials from Wu Dehou's mansion, and he paid for Su Ru's life for a long time, so he delayed the time and collided with Zhou Nian.
“…… Well, yes, but I heard from the prince's accountant that the prince is in the palace and is planning to go back. Su Ruhui was also very embarrassed, and she couldn't tell the two companions here, because the prince wanted to show his face, but he bumped into a few people, and this would be a visit and a complaint.
Su Rufeng listened and hurriedly said: "It's a coincidence, the prince just talked to us, and he was tired, but he wanted to take a nap." ”
Everyone was planning to leave, but after hearing this, they naturally asked him a few words about the prince's injury and complexion, and when they heard it, Su Ruhui asked people to put things down, and then they went out of the East Palace with Su Rufeng and went separately.
