Chapter 54

The two of them held hands and strolled through the Imperial Garden. Coincidentally, I actually met the crown prince Zhou Zichang and the crown princess Lin Manqing.

Lin Manqing, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites. He has been married to Zhou Zichang for four years, and has a son under his knees, who is already two years old.

Not long after Yan Lingyue came to the palace, although she had not seen the crown princess, she had already heard that she was gentle and virtuous, and she had a very good reputation among the palace people.

Sure enough, as soon as she saw Yan Lingyue, Lin Manqing greeted her with a smile, "My younger brother and sister are really as beautiful as rumored, no wonder it can make the ninth brother die." ”

Yan Lingyue smiled slightly, and said softly, "Ling Yue has seen the crown princess. ”

"What kind of crown princess, it should be called sister-in-law," Lin Manqing corrected.

Zhou Zichang also said, "Indeed." It's all a family, and you don't have to see each other so much. ”

Compared with the enthusiasm of Zhou Zichang and Lin Manqing, Zhou Ziyu has a tense face, and no matter who looks at it, he is extremely ignorant. Yan Lingyue knew that Zhou Ziyu didn't like Zhou Zichang, so she didn't force him. When he was about to say goodbye to the two, he didn't expect Zhou Zichang to take the initiative to open his mouth to Zhou Ziyu, "Tomorrow afternoon, we will go to the outside of the city together to meet Prince Xuan'er, and don't forget the ninth brother at that time." ”

Zhou Ziyu pursed his lips and muttered, "I won't forget." As the words fell, he pulled Yan Lingyue and walked outside the Imperial Garden.

As Zhou Ziyu's back gradually disappeared, Zhou Zichang's hand clenched tightly into a fist. It stands to reason that other princes except the crown prince will move out of the palace and set up another mansion after the wedding. Zhou Ziyu still lives in the palace, which is already an exception.

It is said that Zhou Ziyu is stupid and cannot live independently. Okay, he understands that. But since they all said that Zhou Ziyu was stupid, why did he let him follow the court. How can a person who can't even live independently deal with political affairs? Now even to welcome a prince of southern Xinjiang, let Zhou Ziyu take him, Zhou Zichang is really dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Ziyu is still stupid, his father is thinking about cultivating this stupid son, so if Zhou Ziyu is not stupid one day, shouldn't his father let Zhou Ziyu, his son-in-law, replace his position as the crown prince? The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhou Zichang became.

Zhou Ziyu, who originally wanted to take a walk with Yan Lingyue, was disturbed by Zhou Zichang like this, so he pulled Yan Lingyue back to Tingyu Pavilion.

"That prince of crossbow, tomorrow is here?" Thinking of Zhou Zichang's words, Yan Lingyue asked.

Zhou Ziyu nodded, and said with an unhappy face, "Father asked me to go to greet me too, I don't want to go." ”

"There is also the last dynasty, Ziyu doesn't want to go to the upper court, he has to get up so early every day, Ziyu doesn't like it." Zhou Ziyu said, "But the queen mother said that Ziyu got married and grew up, and she can't continue to do her job." ”

"Before, Ziyu didn't do his job?" Zhou Ziyu asked.

Belch...... Yan Lingyue choked, how could she answer Zhou Ziyu? Just as she was organizing the language, Zhou Ziyu's face had already drooped, "Okay, then I will definitely study hard with my father in the future." ”

If Zhou Ziyu can really occupy a place in the court one day in the future, it will be beneficial and harmless to her. In this case, she naturally encouraged him even more. Thinking of this, Yan Lingyue patted Zhou Ziyu's shoulder and said, "Come on, try not to disappoint the queen mother." ”

Queen Xiao and Yan Lingyue's advice encouraged Zhou Ziyu. At noon the next day, I had lunch early, waiting to meet the prince of Xuaner in southern Xinjiang.

Yan Lingyue saw it in her eyes and didn't say anything. In her mind, she was still thinking about the woman she saw yesterday who looked like Bai Yaqing, if she could, she really wanted to go out and find out the situation again.

On this day, Zhou Ziyu didn't return to Ming Hanxuan until midnight, and he was full of alcohol. As soon as he returned to the room, he pounced directly on Yan Lingyue, and Zhang Yula couldn't hold it back.

Yan Lingyue, who was woken up by tossing, could still sleep, and coaxed Zhou Ziyu to wash and change clothes, drank the sobering soup, and then pressed him to the bed with Zhang Yu.

After Zhang Yu left, Yan Lingyue leaned on the side of the bed, looking at Zhou Ziyu who was still calling her name in her sleep, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Yan Lingyue, who was sleeping soundly, only felt that someone was constantly pulling her hand.

Yan Lingyue was impatient and waved her hand casually. The next moment, I only heard a "snap" from my subordinates. Yan Lingyue, who was startled, was completely sleepy and sat up suddenly. I saw Zhou Ziyu covering her face and looking at her blankly.

"Yue, Yue'er, why are you beating me," Seeing that Yan Lingyue woke up, Zhou Ziyu was aggrieved, pointing to his face and accusing Yan Lingyue.

Yan Lingyue pulled Zhou Ziyu's hand away, and sure enough, she saw an obvious slap mark on his face, "I hit him?" Yan Lingyue swallowed her saliva.

Zhou Ziyu nodded, "Yue'er, you beat me." ”

Yan Lingyue coughed lightly twice, "Who told you to keep holding my hand, besides, I didn't know you were so close to me...... Does it hurt? Yan Lingyue touched Zhou Ziyu's cheek.

Zhou Ziyu shook his head, "It's just a little hot." ”

Isn't that just painful, Yan Lingyue was speechless, "It's early in the morning, why do you keep holding my hand?" ”

Zhou Ziyu, who was still aggrieved, suddenly became twisted, and the roots of his ears turned pink, "I, I want to ......" Zhou Ziyu took Yan Lingyue's hand and put it in his clothes, "The night before yesterday, Yue, Yue'er, you ......"

Zhou Ziyu held Yan Lingyue's hand and pointed to his body.

It's so obvious, where can Yan Lingyue not understand. This is what you want her to help him! In Yan Lingyue's mind, the scene of the night before unconsciously appeared.

Yan Lingyue's face instantly turned red, "Early in the morning, I was thinking nonsense." If you want me to say, this slap is not a loss," Yan Lingyue glanced at Zhou Ziyu and pulled her hand out of his hand, "Get up quickly, isn't there a dinner party in the palace today to prepare for Prince Xuan'er to catch the wind and wash the dust?" ”

Yan Lingyue pushed Zhou Ziyu away, put on her clothes and got out of bed.

After washing up and changing clothes, Yan Lingyue once again saw the kiss marks that still remained on her shoulder. Thinking that these kiss marks were all seen by Mama Li and Bang Chun Xia Bi, Yan Lingyue was depressed. Zhou Ziyu went out early yesterday morning, she didn't have the opportunity to settle accounts with him, and today no matter what, she will not let Zhou Ziyu go.

"Look, this is all a good thing you did," Yan Lingyue pointed to her shoulder and questioned Zhou Ziyu.

Zhou Ziyu stared at Yan Lingyue's smooth shoulders for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but change, "Yue, Yue'er, you are so beautiful." Ziyu likes Yue'er. Zhou Ziyu opened his arms and was about to hug Yan Lingyue.

Yan Lingyue's body flashed and dodged, "Don't change the topic!" Next time while I'm asleep, gnaw on me, I, I'll ......" Yan Lingyue waved her fist.

Zhou Ziyu smiled "hehe", "Yue'er is a daughter-in-law, Ziyu can gnaw Yue'er." ”

Yan Lingyue was speechless. Come to think of it, the night before yesterday, both of them had developed to that point, and what else could not be done.

"Just, even if you can kiss, but you can't leave traces," Yan Lingyue pointed to those kiss marks on her body, "You look at so many marks, how can I still wear clothes." ”

"Then next time Ziyu tapped," Zhou Ziyu said.

Yan Lingyue glanced at Zhou Ziyu, and while getting dressed, she asked, "Why did you come back so late last night, and who did you drink with?" The next time I'm so drunk, I'll let you sleep in the study. ”

Thinking of his assurance to Yan Lingyue, Zhou Ziyu felt a little weak, "And, with the second brother, and the prince of Xuan'er." After sending Prince Bower to the palace yesterday, Ziyu originally planned to come back, but the second brother wanted to drink with Prince Bower, so he had to pull Ziyu. My father said that the person who came was a guest, and asked me to entertain Prince Xuan'er well, but Ziyu couldn't shirk it, so I could only drink together. ”

Zhou Ziyu said again, "But Ziyu is sure, Ziyu is not drunk, Ziyu is still sober......"

"Okay, okay, got it," Yan Lingyue interrupted Zhou Ziyu. After getting dressed neatly, she deliberately poured some powder on his face, and after making sure that the slap print could not be seen, she called Mama Li and the others to come in.

After breakfast, Zhou Ziyu took Yan Lingyue to Weiyang Palace, saying that he was going to report yesterday's situation to his mother.

As soon as she saw her precious son coming, Queen Xiao greeted her from afar, and said as soon as she opened her mouth, "I heard that Ziyu drank too much last night?" ”

Zhou Ziyu was stunned, and said in surprise, "How do you know the queen mother?" ”

"Can I not care about my own son's business?" Queen Xiao looked Zhou Ziyu up and down, helped him straighten his clothes, and chattered, "The queen mother also knows how to treat people and things, and it is inevitable to drink alcohol, but you can't drink too much." The body is your own, and if you drink it down, no one can suffer for you. ”

Queen Xiao said, looked at Yan Lingyue again, and said with concern, "These days, you are still used to living in the palace, right?" ”

Yan Lingyue nodded, "Get used to it, everything is fine." ”

When Queen Xiao heard this, she smiled, took Yan Lingyue's hand, and walked towards the hall, "If there is anything you are not used to, just tell the queen mother." You and Ziyu have already married, from now on, except for Ziyu, you are the most caring person in the queen mother. ”

"Living in the palace is no better than living outside, the queen mother is really worried that you will be bored," Queen Xiao patted Yan Lingyue's hand and said, "If you feel bored in the future, just come and chat with the queen mother." It's okay to leave the palace if you want to, but you must let Zhang Yu arrange a few more guards to follow......"

Regardless of whether it is true or false, these instructions from Queen Xiao still make Yan Lingyue's heart warm. Just when the three of them were talking and laughing, Grandpa Bai came over. looked at Zhou Ziyu and Yan Lingyue, and then at Queen Xiao, looking like she had something to say.

Queen Xiao waved her hand, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Bai Gonggong hurriedly said, "The slave just got the news that Princess Selin in Southern Xinjiang has been found. Duan Minghong, Major General Duan, had just sent Princess Selin into the palace. ”
