Zhou Youchen didn't think much about it, he knew that she had unspeakable concerns about him.

She didn't look angry, but made him worried.

has been a husband and wife for more than ten years, and he always feels that he understands her. But sometimes he felt that he couldn't understand her.

Meng Xilan leaned on his arms, grinding with his ears and temples, but her eyes kept looking out the window.

The short period of warmth did not make the two people closer. On the contrary, when he kissed him, Meng Xilan turned her head and dodged imperceptibly.

Zhou Youchen felt her resistance, he smiled lightly, and then looked at her with an indescribable gaze, his dark brown eyes glowing with a dull light.

He slowly let go of the hand around her waist, took a deep breath and said, "I still have some twists and turns to see, you can rest first." ”

Meng Xilan leaned on his shoulder and nodded: "It's cold at night, the emperor should be careful of the dragon body." ”

There is no retention, just intimate advice.

Zhou Youchen got up and got up, Meng Xilan looked at the food on the table that was gradually cooling, and told Jade to come in and clean up.

Jade thought that the emperor would stay overnight. Unexpectedly, the emperor still left.

There are more and more newcomers in the palace, but Niangniang is not in a hurry.

Jade took the little palace maid to clean up the dishes and cups, and then gave Meng Xilan a cup of soothing soup.

"This is Master Jiao's recipe."

Meng Xilan turned her face away in disgust: "Take these away, this palace doesn't want to drink it." ”

Recently, Jiao Changqing seems to be a little too nervous about her.

It is a nourishing body, a sleeping one, a beauty nourishing one, and a nourishing lung...... In Cining Palace, there is a smell of Chinese medicine soup all day long. She was annoyed just by smelling it.

Jade obediently poured out all the decoctions.

Meng Xilan bathed and changed her clothes, spreading her long hair.

Emerald was only at the head of her bed, leaving a lamp. The dim light shone on her face, soft and warm.

"Mother, rest early."

Meng Xilan was silent for a moment before saying, "You go and call Zhulu." ”

Jade was slightly stunned when she heard this, and nodded her head.

Zhulu accompanied Changsheng to study in the study, which was her habit for many years.

Changsheng reads hard every day, just to collect his heart.

The war in the northwest was tight, but he could not do anything. His feelings for his sister are vague, making it difficult for him to distinguish between trade-offs.

He liked her, he was sure of that. But this feeling, which had just sprouted from his heart, was full of thorns, and even he didn't dare to touch it.

Zhulu sat with her head bowed beside her needlework, and after a while, someone outside invited her over.

Zhulu looked back at the prince who was reading, and walked over lightly.

When the mother talks to her, she must have something important to say.

Meng Xilan asked Jade to prepare some tea, and Zhulu saw that she looked tired, so she said, "It's late at night, what kind of tea do you drink?" ”

If you drink too much tea, it will be more difficult to fall asleep at night.

Meng Xilan asked her to sit beside her: "I can't sleep with or without tea." It's better for you to come and talk to me. ”

Zhulu sat down obediently, picked up the tea bowl and smelled it, and said with a smile: "This is osmanthus fragrant tea." ”

Meng Xilan propped her head with one hand and tilted her body to look at her: "Lately, how is Changsheng?" ”

Although she can see him every day, the time she spends with him is too short.

Zhulu accompanies him every day, and she must know more things than her.

Zhu Lu lowered his eyes slightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, he has been working very hard recently, his heart is not pure, and reading can calm him down." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan stretched out a finger and gently rubbed her temples.

"He's still thinking about worry-free, isn't he?"

Zhu Lu nodded slightly, lowered her voice and said, "The taste of the first opening of love is not pleasant. ”

If he likes someone else, that's fine. But he fell in love with someone he shouldn't like. This forbidden relationship will only make him more and more painful.

Zhulu's heart was full of worry.

"Niangniang, if you can, it's better to marry the county lord as soon as possible."

She had always had this idea in her heart.

Since the prince is moved, the two of them should not get too close.

Meng Xilan sighed softly: "I regard worry-free as my own child, how can my own daughter be easily handed over to others." ”

Zhu Lu thought about it for a while when she heard this, and then said, "Niangniang, in fact, there is a compromise solution. If you really don't worry about others, Young Master Yun is a good choice. ”

Marry worry-free into the Meng family and marry Meng Qingyun.

They grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and they have a very good relationship. Moreover, the Meng family is Niangniang's mother's family, so they will naturally take good care of the county lord and not let her suffer the slightest grievance.

Meng Xilan shook her head and smiled: "This palace has never thought about this. Brother Yun is a good boy, but this palace can't hand over worry-free to him. Zhulu, you are from the past, you know very well. How terrible a person can become when he is blinded by jealousy! ”

Zhu Lu's eyebrows moved, as if he had thought of something,

"If Changsheng is not the crown prince, maybe this palace will leave the worry-free to the Meng family. But Changsheng is the crown prince, he is the future emperor, and he is the future king. And worry-free is the first woman he likes in his life, and this palace can't take risks...... You can't stir up the anger of this resentment, and then extend it to the Meng family. ”

She has lived on thin ice for so many years, and it is not her own glory.

Zhu Lu looked at the master's eyes, and saw her faint gaze, and couldn't help but bow her head: "The slave is stupid, I didn't expect this to ......"

The crown prince is the future emperor, and this world is his. He can get everything he wants.

Meng Qingyun is the prince's companion and the prince's cronies. When the crown prince ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks.

Meng Qingyun's career must be like his name, rising steadily. He can smoothly take over the Meng family's family business, and he can also maintain the momentum of the Meng family.

It turned out that the master had thought so deeply, and she had thought about it for twenty years......

"But Niangniang, if the county lord doesn't leave, His Royal Highness has a deep affection for her, wouldn't it be even more troublesome." Zhulu was worried.

Meng Xilan stroked the Buddhist bead bracelet on her wrist and muttered: "There will always be a way, don't rush, even if you're in a hurry, it's useless." ”

How to place her two children well is her biggest headache. However, she always thinks of a way.

"Zhulu, you have to take care of the prince for the palace."

Her every move, his food, clothing, housing, and even his casual expression, she had to see it clearly.

Zhulu knew the power of it, put down the teacup, and nodded heavily: "The slave understands." ”

……

On the 10th day of November, Chu Jingchuan's army arrived in the northwest border city.

Chu Jingchuan was famous, and the Turks also knew who he was.

They knew who he was and who his father was.

The grievances and grievances on the battlefield are all mixed with blood.

Those hatreds were washed away by blood over and over again, and they were firmly remembered in everyone's hearts.

The new Khan Tudu of the Turks, before he ascended the throne, had his eyes on the Northern Yan. He is like a hungry wolf, eager to tear and devour the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of Beiyan, and become a unique overlord in history in one fell swoop.

Chu Jingchuan and the elite soldiers under his command knew that this battle was not easy to fight. But the king's order is in his body, and he cannot disobey it.

Meng Xilan was thousands of miles away, but she kept thinking of Chu Jingchuan in her heart.

She already owes him once, and now, she wants him to fight for his life again. She owes the Chu family too much.

Because of the loss to the Chu family, Meng Xilan was even more reluctant to be wronged.

She said she wanted to go to Meng's house, so she nodded. She said that she wanted to go out of the palace, and she nodded as well.

After the winter, the capital has a unique scenery.

Worry-free changed into men's clothes, took the palace maids and eunuchs, and went out of the palace to relax under the protection of plainclothes guards.

She looks like a man and a woman, and it is easy for people to see through it. Fortunately, she didn't go to crowded places, but just walked around the city in a carriage.

There was a brazier lit in the carriage, which was warm and comfortable.

Worry-free holding the hand stove and warming the palm.

"County Lord, we've been walking around the streets for more than an hour. Why don't you find a place to rest? ”

Although the carriage is comfortable, the place is too small to stretch out the legs and feet, and it is stuffy after sitting for a long time.

"The queen mother told me, let's go to Mengfu." Carefree thought for a moment.

She should not have gone anywhere else, lest the queen mother be worried.

Xiang Ming sighed softly when she heard this: "The county lord finally went out of the palace, why do you have to go to the Meng Mansion?" ”

Worry-free lifted the corner of the curtain: "If you don't go to Mengfu, how can you go?" ”

Xiangming pointed to a teahouse in the distance opposite: "It looks quite chic there, why don't you go over and have a look?" ”

Carefree looked at her fingers, and his eyes lit up slightly: "It's okay...... The name is also quite chic, Yuluxuan. ”

She's grown up so big, she's never been to a teahouse like that.

There are people here, there are tea drinkers and storytellers, and the lobby on the first floor is full of guests.

Carefree lowered his head slightly, and went all the way to the private room on the second floor.

Coincidentally, the teahouse selected by Worry-Free is a place of high welfare.

He mingles in the market, and always considers himself a businessman.

Gao Fuli was sharp-eyed, and when he stood on the second floor, he knew that there was someone in the palace.

At first, he thought it was Zhulu, but who knows, he actually saw a strange and immature face.

She was...... Gao Fuli thought about it over and over again in his head, and suddenly thought of a person.

Lord Wen'an! There are not many children in the palace, and there is only one person of her age, and that is worry-free.

I haven't seen her for many years, and she has grown into a big girl.

Gao Fuli watched her go up to the second floor and go to the private room.

He called the people around him and instructed them to be entertained, but not to show too much.

Gao Fuli had some doubts in his heart.

I heard that the master loves the county lord very much, how could he let her leave the palace easily.

He also heard that because of the marriage of the county lord, the master was very worried.

Gao Fuli cares about his every move without worry, and he can't help but think of the past and the palace in his mind.

Suddenly, the storyteller in the lobby on the first floor opened the fan in his hand with a "bang", and he raised his voice to everyone: "Next, the old man wants to tell the big guy a secret story in the palace." ”

Secrets of the palace...... As soon as this remark came out, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Gao Fu lowered his eyes and didn't take it as a thing in his heart.

These storytellers make a living from these hearsay stories, whether they are true or not, as long as they are interesting.

Wu Wu was also interested, looked down at the storyteller, and listened to him continue: "Today I said that this secret story is about the former prince. That's right, it's the abandoned former crown prince and the eldest son of the first emperor, the amorous species who ruined himself because of his infatuation with women. ”

As soon as his words fell, bursts of applause rang out around him.

Gao Fu's eyes lit up, and he turned back to his subordinates and asked, "This storyteller is new?" Hurry up and send him away......"

This is not the time for him to talk nonsense, the county lord is still here!
