Nuoda's Zixu East Palace suddenly has a few more people, which will naturally attract attention, and within a few days, the news that the prince brought a woman back to the East Palace spread into the palace. Everyone knows that the prince did not hesitate to quarrel with His Majesty for a woman before, but you can imagine how much the prince attaches importance to Ling Yue, but now in just two years, does he fall in love with other women? Your Majesty was puzzled, and sent someone to the East Palace to issue an order to announce that the prince would bring me into the palace.

The crown prince originally wanted to push this holy decree on the grounds that I was not in good health, although it was a bit abrupt, but the emperor's order could not be violated, and besides, it would be bad if my prince had a dispute with His Majesty again.

The crown prince accepted the holy decree, but his face was not open, seeing that he must be worried about me like this, I said, "Your Highness, the emperor's order cannot be violated, since Your Majesty has issued an order, I will follow you into the palace." Besides, it's the first time I've been to Zixu, and no one will know me, let alone think of my identity. ”

The crown prince took the holy decree in his hand: "If there is only Zixu, the prince can easily accept this holy decree." ”

I was puzzled, and God thought, "What does Your Highness mean...... Anyone else? ”

"Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, and the envoys of all countries will be present, Your Majesty must be taking this opportunity to announce your entry into the palace."

Envoys of various countries? Then Tianyue will also send people to Zixu, if they know that I am not dead, they will definitely go back to tell Chu Hanyuan, then Chu Hanyuan will definitely use me to threaten Chu Muxiu again.

I frowned and said, "Your Highness is saying...... Your Majesty wants to test me. ”

"Well, I don't rule it out."

"But the holy decree has been received, and it cannot be shirked, what should I do?"

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run."

To tell the truth, I was fully prepared, and asked Mo'er to buy medicine at the pharmacy at night, if it really didn't work, I could only take laxatives and hide from the world.

The maid who washed her face in the morning carried a new set of clothes, and a piece of fine gauze was stacked on the clothes, and the maid put the clothes on the table and said respectfully, "Girl, this is the clothes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the slave maid to prepare for you, and His Royal Highness specially told the girl to be covered with gauze." ”

I nodded in gratitude and took the gauze and looked at it, which was a good ploy, while all I could think of was taking laxatives. I can't help but laugh at myself, it's because I can't even solve such a simple problem that I live so embarrassed, and I even have to wear gauze when I go out.

The clothes prepared by the prince are inevitably a little too gorgeous, the materials are soft, and the gold velvet is also said to be that this is to enter the palace to meet the saint, and it must not be sloppy.

The carriage was already prepared at the gate of the East Palace, and the horse ran as soon as the coachman roared. I don't know who Tianyue sent this time, and what their purpose is, is it to see if I am dead or alive.

His Royal Highness sat in the same carriage with me, and seeing that I was a little panicked, he actually smiled a little, "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, if something really happens, this prince will definitely protect you." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The queen of Zixu is actually similar to Tianyue, they are all the same luxury, but the difference is that it actually gives people a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance. We entered the main hall, and there were all kinds of food neatly placed on the desks on both sides, on one side were the ministers of the Zixu court, and on the other side were the envoys of various countries, and there was a wide aisle in the middle, enough for four or five people to come together.

I looked carefully at the envoys on the left, and I didn't understand why there wasn't a single Tianyue minister.

I knelt with the prince to see His Majesty, and I looked sideways to clearly feel that everyone's eyes were on me, or rather on the gauze on my face.

Someone behind secretly said, "Why do you say that this prince brought back this woman with a veil?" ”

"Aren't you too ugly to see people!"

There was a small noise downward, and His Majesty's brows furrowed, "I don't know my son's dishes and the tastes of the discordant envoys?" ”

Everyone is a smart person, and as soon as His Majesty said this, they understood, and they closed their mouths and did not dare to talk more.

Your Majesty ordered us to get up, and the prince took me to the desk. Sitting next to us was the Eighth Prince, I nodded respectfully at him, he also smiled at me, turned his head and pulled the prince's shirt and whispered, "Fourth brother, this woman must be a big beauty with a veil, Fourth brother, you are really stingy, since you have already hugged the beauty, you are not willing to let us feast our eyes." ”

The crown prince was expressionless, and coldly turned his head to fix his eyes on the face of the eighth prince, all the while shifting the hand that was holding the hem of his clothes.

The eighth prince is also an acquaintance, and he swallowed his saliva and immediately let go of his hand.

Before the buttocks were hot, His Majesty turned his head and asked me, "Why did the girl enter the palace with her face covered?" ”

I held my hand in my lower abdomen and bowed my head slightly: "Back to Your Majesty, the people's daughter named Yuwan was originally from Chongyang, Qingzhou, and her family unfortunately suffered a fire when she was a child. ”

His Majesty nodded suddenly in realization: "I see, Chongyang is the birthplace of the guqin, presumably the girl must have a lot of attainments in the art of the qin." Then he asked, "Who else is left in the girl's house?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the fire in my home when I was a child was too strong, my parents were buried in the fire, and no one survived except me."

His Majesty glanced at the crown prince beside me, intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to stop talking, shaking his head and saying, "I think I'm also a poor person." ”

I glanced at the prince with my spare eyes, and he was always expressionless, even in the face of his father, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year.

I drank the tea carefully with my veil on, and the cup was still filled with plum tea, and it tasted exactly the same as the one my grandmother gave me. I have heard that Zixu is rich in plums, and the people love to make plum wine and make plum tea, but I didn't expect that a place like the palace would also be so happy with the people.

I was taking a sip of tea when suddenly someone outside the hall said loudly, "Tianyue envoy to see you!" ”

I came back to my senses suddenly, and before I could put down the teacup in my hand, I locked my eyes on the Tianyue people who were about to come in, who was he? Will he recognize me?

Then I saw my father-in-law come in with two people, and my father-in-law was blocking the man's face in front of him, and I could only see the crown behind my father-in-law, and although I desperately wanted to see it, I couldn't poke my head out so obviously, so I had to pretend to wait calmly. Walk a little closer, the man is dressed in dark blue thick brocade clothes, his hair is tightly erect, he looks domineering, and the jade pendant on his waist is transparent and bright, and he looks like a peerless jade.

Such a familiar figure, such a familiar atmosphere, this dress seems to have been seen somewhere, I look more and more attentive, and when my father-in-law turns sideways, the face of the person is displayed in front of everyone without concealment.

The teacup slipped out of my hand, I couldn't believe my eyes, how could it be Chu Muxiu? Why him? Could it be that he was the one I saw on the street that day, and why couldn't I escape his palm?

The teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and I was still unconscious, so the prince looked at me blankly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I didn't answer, just looked at the man standing in front of me, he seemed to sense my gaze, and his head turned to meet mine, and there was a hint of sharpness in his breath, as if he didn't put anyone in his eyes, and such a familiar look must be him. He squinted at me, his eyes became deeper and deeper, until he felt that my scalp was numb, I was afraid that Chu Muxiu would recognize me, so I immediately lowered my head, and subconsciously pulled the veil firmer, and the prince immediately followed my gaze and glanced at Chu Muxiu, who seemed to see something but didn't say a word.

Chu Muxiu nodded to the prince, then stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "Shangshu Yu of the Tianyue Rite Department is here to see His Majesty Zixu. ”

Yu Zhenglin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has already resigned and returned to his hometown, why didn't Chu Muxiu meet His Majesty Zixu as his own prince? Besides, he should know that if someone finds out that he is not Lord Yu, this is a great capital crime of bullying the king, what is he going to do?

There were too many people, and His Majesty didn't notice it, but just asked Chu Mu to repair and then sent someone to sit on him. He sat across from me, and I could see every movement of him clearly as soon as I looked up. He picked up the wine glass on the desk and repeatedly scrubbed the glass, but he refused to enter it, as if he was thinking about something.

I didn't dare to look up, because Chu Muxiu's eyes were very sharp, and I couldn't escape his eyes at all. Chu Muxiu's arrival was a small episode, and the ministers did not lose their interest in it, but became even more happy.

His Majesty saw that everyone was very interested, but he always felt that the hall was a little empty, so he turned his head sideways and said to me: "The girl said that she is a native of Chongyang, Qingzhou, and has been deeply influenced by the guqin since she was a child. ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, you can't talk about it, it's just that you were born in Chongyang, and it's really an honor for a little girl to be able to play a song for Your Majesty today."

His Majesty smiled and ordered the people below: "Come on, give the qin." ”

The jade qin was held in front of me, this is undoubtedly a good qin, and I was about to touch the qin with my hand, when the prince pulled me a little, and there seemed to be some doubts in his eyes, telling me not to act rashly.

I patted the prince's hand and whispered, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, but Yuwan can handle a tune." ”

Your Majesty's move has undoubtedly found a step for me, not to mention that the previous Nanyan candle played the piano well, but even if I touched the strings, I felt prickly, so that I could not only win His Majesty's trust, but also eliminate Chu Muxiu's suspicion and uneasiness, and really kill two birds with one stone.

As his fingers continued to slide on the strings, bursts of melodious piano sounds poured into people's ears, and from time to time he raised his head slightly to peek at Chu Muxiu, the expectation in his eyes was obviously gone, replaced by the current confusion, and his eyebrows and eyes actually revealed a look of amazement. Also, the previous Nanyan candles were useless, and even the female rings of the Tianyue women who memorized them like streams were not completely read, if it was said that the woman who was sitting in the hall so elegantly was me, I am afraid that no one would believe it. But even so, he still stared at me, and that sharp eye seemed to be able to see through my heart, did he already know who I was? Why is he holding on to me?
