Comparing the heart to the heart, such a simple truth, but the prince just doesn't understand. He didn't know that the more he pressed closer and closer, the farther and farther away his master would be.

Gao Fuli's heart fluttered with fright, looking at the prince's face and holding his breath.

Zhou Youlin's expression was indeed not good-looking, and his anger was overflowing, but he didn't get angry at Gao Fu, he just glanced at him coldly, and said, "This time, for the sake of your master, this king will spare you from death." Next time you dare to talk more, just leave your head behind. ”

It was the first time he allowed a minion to make irresponsible remarks in front of him, just because he was Meng Xilan's cronies.

Gao Fuli shuddered when he heard this, and nodded stiffly.

"Get out!" Zhou Youlin yelled at him, too lazy to look at him again.

Gao Fuli hurriedly ran away, and after running out of the Gongyue Gate, he didn't dare to stop, for fear that the prince would regret it, and send someone to arrest him back and punish him heavily.

He ran all the way and looked back, and almost accidentally bumped into Zhulu's body: "Alas? Sister Zhulu ......"

Zhu Lu stared at him, didn't say a word, and grabbed his ear first: "Don't kill something, who told you to go to the prince to talk a lot?" Are you tired of living, or do you think our master doesn't have enough trouble? ”

The master walked fast and didn't pay attention, but her eyes were real. She quietly followed over to take a look, and saw the scene where Fang Cai Gao Fu died by himself.

Gao Fuli stomped his feet in pain, and begged for mercy again and again: "Sister spare your life, spare your life!" ”

Zhu Lu let go of him, and her expression was still puzzled: "It's a shame that you're usually so clever, why are you having convulsions today?" ”

Gao Fuli's eyes were red in pain, and his heart was sour: "Sister Zhulu, don't blame me!" I was also impulsive and wanted to say a few words for my master. The prince obviously likes the master so much, but he has never been good to the master, how uncomfortable the master has been recently, every morning when she gets up, her eyes are swollen, I know she has cried...... She must have cried......"

Zhulu was stunned when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth squirmed, but she didn't speak. This morning, when she changed the pillow for her master, she also found undried tears on it.

Gao Fuli is right, the master is indeed very unhappy these days, although there seems to be nothing abnormal on the surface, but once there is no one around, she will always be alone in a quiet daze, and the expression on her face is clearly sad.

What is the master sad about? She didn't say it, and they didn't dare to ask, but they were uneasy after all.

Gao Fuli sat down next to the big stone, took a deep breath and said: "As a slave, the greatest hope is the master's happiness, and if the master is unhappy for a day, my heart will not be stable for a day." ”

Zhulu slowly sat next to him and said lightly: "It's useless for you to worry, no matter what, we all have to do our part." "She has been with Miss for so many years, and she knows her personality very well, and no one can stop her from doing what she wants to do. And what she doesn't want to do, no one can control.

After drinking medicine for a few days, Zhou Youchen was already able to get out of bed and move freely. He was originally lively and active, and he was stuffed in the house for so long that grass grew in his heart.

As soon as he went out, he got up lawlessly, like a wild monkey that was free from his shackles, jumping up and down, and refusing to stop.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan was not angry, just sat on the side and watched him silently, and when he was tired of playing and thirsty, he called him to his side, poured him tea, and wiped his sweat.

Zhou Youchen has always disliked being taken care of, he does everything he does with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the palace people around him know his temper, so he never takes the initiative to serve, but just puts what he eats, drinks, and wears in front of him.

Zhou Youchen looked at Meng Xilan, who was wiping his sweat and hands, and took two steps back a little awkwardly: "You are a little strange......

Meng Xilan stared at him, her eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "What's wrong with me?" ”

Somehow, Zhou Youchen suddenly sat down opposite her with some deflatedness, frowned slightly, and said, "I said that I am not a child. ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly and snorted.

Zhou Youchen lowered his eyes: "Don't always be so good to me, and always treat me as a child, let's still be the same as before, can't we?" To be honest, the way she looks now makes him feel a little scared, and for some reason he is a little scared...... He has never been afraid of heaven and earth, but now, as long as Meng Xilan has a look and a movement, it will make him feel uneasy. Because no one has ever been so kind to him, he is afraid, afraid that one day after he gets used to it, she will suddenly be bad to him again.

Meng Xilan's heart rippled layer by layer, her lips moved slightly, as if she had something to say, but in the end, she pursed her lips lightly and did not say a word.

She didn't want to treat him as easily as before, but from time to time the words that Jiao Changqing had said would pop up in her mind, the "spell" that he couldn't live to be sixteen years old.

Zhou Youchen saw that she lowered her head and stopped talking, so he hurriedly leaned over, tilted his head to look at her and said, "Are you angry?" ”

Meng Xilan gathered her thoughts, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "No, I'm hungry." After speaking, she turned her head and instructed Zhulu and Zhuqing to take what she was going to eat.

At this time, it was still early before the time for lunch, and the imperial dining room was the busiest time, so Zhulu went all the way back to Cining Palace and went to the small kitchen to prepare a few snacks for the master and the ninth master. White sugar cake, mille-feuille cake, osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, exactly four kinds, filled with a full box.

Zhulu walked out with the food box, and happened to meet the palace maid Huayue beside Princess Wen'an, and hurriedly said hello with a smile.

Hua Yue looked at her, looked at the food box in her hand, and asked curiously, "Sister Zhulu, where are you going?" ”

Zhu Lu replied truthfully: "I want to go to the Changqing Palace and send some snacks to the master and the ninth master." ”

Hearing this, Hua Yue smiled thoughtfully: "Oh, that's it, then sister, let's go, I won't delay you." ”

Zhu Lu smiled at her, and her feet accelerated more and more, but Hua Yue returned the same way, came to the master, and sighed: "Master, don't be busy, Princess Wenning is still in Changqing Palace and has not returned." ”

Zhou Youning was trying on new clothes, and after putting on a new one, he wanted to show Meng Xilan and take a look. Unexpectedly, she was in Cining Palace again.

Zhou Youlin sighed lightly, sat back on the chair with some disappointment, and fiddled with the pearl jewelry in the box with his fingertips, Hua Yue beside him saw this, and said softly: "Princess Wenning has not come to take the initiative to play with the master for a long time, and she knows that she is bored in Changqing Palace every day...... I'm not afraid to recruit people......"

Zhou Youning's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "What kind of handle?" ”

"Master, you don't know...... Everyone in the palace is saying that Princess Wenning is too scheming and too calculating......" Hua Yue cleared her throat and said. "When she entered the palace, it was originally to relieve boredom for the master's companionship, but who knows, the queen mother didn't say anything about her as a baby, and accepted her as a righteous daughter...... Now, she and her master look on an equal footing, but where can she compare with your dignity, master. Therefore, she put her mind on Changqing Palace again...... His Royal Highness the Ninth is the most favored now, isn't she clearly showing that wherever the wind blows, people will go? ”

When Zhou Youning heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, and raised his head and glared at Hua Yue: "You girl is so unruly, you dare to say bad things about my sister in front of me." ”

Hearing this, Hua Yue hurriedly knelt down: "The master is angry, the slave and maid should not talk too much." However, the slave and maid also felt sorry for the master, so they would say so. Now, Princess Wenning is becoming less and less concerned about you, master, she can get to this point today, all because of you, master, she can't help but be grateful. ”

Zhou Youning suddenly felt a little upset, reached out and fiddled with the jewelry in the box, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't you say that, my sister has always treated me very well, she just has too many things to spare." ”

Meng Xilan is her good sister, not that kind of person, she is not ...... Will she be?

Zhulu hurriedly returned to Changqing Palace with a food box, but saw a sedan chair parked outside the palace gate, and it seemed that someone was coming.

Zhulu walked over to take a look, and happened to meet Gonggong Xiao beside Queen Su. That Xiao Gonggong is handsome, with slender eyebrows and eyes, and a slight pick, which is full of charm.

He took the initiative to greet him, smiled and asked, "Isn't this Miss Zhulu?" What delicious food did you send to the ninth master? ”

Zhu Lu didn't expect him to know his name, so he was stunned, but then lowered his head again: "Say hello to Grandpa Xiao." The slave brought some snacks......"

Gonggong Xiao smiled lightly when he heard this: "Really? Then girl, please come in, don't let the master wait. ”

Zhu Lu nodded again and again, and hurriedly walked past him, feeling cold behind him, and always felt that the father-in-law Xiao who was smiling at him behind him was a little scary.

Zhulu walked in and took a look, it turned out that Queen Su was sitting and talking with her master and His Royal Highness Jiu. The three of them were not restrained, and sat directly on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Such a scene is rare, how to look at it is a little strange, Zhulu cautiously walked over: "The slave maid asked the queen mother to say goodbye, the mother is a thousand years old and a thousand years old." ”

Empress Su glanced at her, then looked at Meng Xilan and said, "This is your personal maid, this palace still remembers." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "The queen has a good memory. ”

She suddenly came to Changqing Palace today, which was indeed a little surprising and shocking. Meng Xilan was a little worried, I don't know what kind of medicine she has in her gourd?

Queen Su smiled brightly, looked at Zhou Youchen, who had been bowing her head and was silent, stretched out her hand and said, "Chen'er, come here, let the palace take a good look." ”

Zhou Youchen immediately became alert when he heard this, and looked at Queen Su indifferently, not moving.

Empress Su already knew his temper and didn't like to be close, the smile on her face did not decrease in the slightest, and she whispered: "Don't be afraid, child, this palace is your mother." ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Xilan and Zhou Youchen were stunned.

Mother?! Zhou Youchen clenched his fists slightly, and immediately stood up and said, "You are not my mother!" ”

Meng Xilan hurriedly shook her head at him, signaling him not to be rude, the woman in front of him was the queen mother who ruled the six palaces, not those little palace maids who could call him around.

Seeing that Zhou Youchen didn't give herself face, Queen Su had to slowly withdraw her hand and said, "This palace is the queen, the mother of all the princes in this palace, and naturally your mother-in-law." ”

According to the palace rules, all the children in the palace must call her "Queen Mother".

Zhou Youchen's eyes dimmed slightly, and he actually felt that the woman in front of him was so annoying.

Meng Xilan calmed down, took the initiative to get up, grabbed Zhou Youchen's hand, and gently pinched the back of his hand: "Ninth Master, the queen mother is right. It's rare for the queen to come to see you today, so go over and call "Queen Mother". ”

Rules are rules. What's more, she herself brought it up first, if Zhou Youchen didn't do it obediently, wouldn't she be accused of disrespecting her elders.

Zhou Youchen struggled hard, but instead of breaking away from Meng Xilan's hand, she grabbed it tighter.

Queen Su sat opposite and watched the small movements that came and went between the two of them, pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was looking forward to Zhou Youchen's "Queen Mother".
