The two of them walked all the way, and saw a chic small courtyard in front of them, where many ladies of the noble mansion gathered, some were Mrs. Taishou, and some were marquises.

"Yo, isn't this the second lady in the Zhenguo Mansion? A few days ago, the news that the second lady ran away from home spread all over the capital, why did she take the initiative to come back today? ”

Mei Fangruo listened to their sneering tones, lowered her head in shame, Lu Xiyi walked straight forward, saluted everyone, and said: "Fangruo, it turns out that you are here, the Queen Mother is looking for us everywhere, let's go to Cining Palace to greet her old man first." ”

Mei Fangruo followed behind Lu Xiyi with a disappointed face, and couldn't help but say something: "I was kind enough to come forward to say hello to them, but I never thought that they would be like this, and I would never take the initiative to come forward in the future." ”

Seeing Mei Fangruo's resentful look, she deliberately rubbed her arm and said, "Now you know that the woman's nest is full of right and wrong, it's better to follow me well, I just went to visit the Queen Mother these days, and I don't know, how is her wind and cold?" ”

Mei Fangruo bowed slightly, walked behind her, and when she came to the city gate on the right, she saw a group of people carrying a sedan chair, and the sedan chair stopped, just facing the two.

Mei Fangruo raised her head a little apprehensively, this is a yellow sedan chair, which should be only sat by people from the royal family, not those officials outside the city.

And Qi Yan happened to get down from the sedan chair, and when he passed through the city gate, he smelled an unusual smell, but he didn't expect that it was really Lu Xiyi.

He walked up to Lu Xiyi, glanced up and down at her with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "I didn't expect us to meet in the palace today." ”

Lu Xiyi looked at him in amazement, it turned out to be Qi Yan, and subconsciously took a step back, Qi Yan looked at her with interest and pursed his lips and smiled: "How is it?" Could you please talk to Mrs. Hou alone with me? ”

Mei Fangruo realized that it was a little redundant, so she bowed and said, "Then I'll go around and take a look, if my sister-in-law finishes talking, come directly to me near Cining Palace." ”

Mei Fangruo said, and left the sight of the two, Qi Yan looked at Lu Xiyi, with a cautious look, and couldn't help pouting: "How did you see me become like this now?" I still remember that we used to talk and talk very happily, since you married into the Zhenguo Mansion, the intersection between the two of us has become less and less, how about it? Your newlywed gentleman is satisfying to you, right? ”

Hearing that he inadvertently mentioned Zhong Yihan's matter, he responded cautiously: "Your Highness, it seems that the relationship between us is only a friend at most, if Your Highness has nothing else to ask, then I will go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye first, I haven't seen the Queen Mother for many days, and I don't know how he is doing recently." ”

Qi Yan smiled calmly and said, "You are also going to see your grandmother, and so am I, why don't we go together, I just have something to ask you." Lu Xiyi lowered his head tightly, so he had to lower his eyebrows and respond with his eyes pleasing to the eye.

Although he didn't want to go with him all the way, along the way, everyone in the palace looked at the two of them with strange eyes, Qi Yan walked side by side with him, and teased: "Do you remember this verdant bamboo forest?" In the past, you liked to bring me here, open your heart, and talk about the world, but at that time I felt that I was the happiest person in the world. ”

Hearing that he suddenly mentioned the previous incident, Lu Xiyi lowered his eyebrows and said cautiously: "I don't remember much about the previous things, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have such a good memory." ”

Qi Yan stared at her, stopped and said, "I know that you must have a grudge against me because of Xuan'er's misunderstanding, but I want to tell you that in fact, you still have a certain weight in my heart, as long as you want to leave Zhong Yihan, the door of the East Palace will be open for you at any time." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't look like he's eaten too much wine today, why would he say such a foolish thing? Since I married into the Zhenguo Mansion, I was born as a person of the Guogong Mansion and died as a ghost of the Guogong Mansion, His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no need to worry about the sky, I have a good life. ”

Qi Yan nodded and smiled: "I naturally know that you have that ability, no matter where you are, you can live well, but well, don't forget the previous relationship between you and me, I heard that Zhong Yihan has been made an official again, and he also has jurisdiction over the military camp forces in Sichuan, he must be very busy these days, right?" ”

"This is all a matter in their military camp, I don't know anything, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really curious about this matter, it is better to ask him yourself, Your Highness, let's go to Cining Palace first, so as not to delay the hour, I haven't gone to Wei Guifei yet."

With that, he quickened his pace and tried to keep a certain distance from him.

When she arrived near Cining Palace, Mei Fangruo came out, saw that Qi Yan had been following behind her, and lowered her voice and said worriedly: "What's going on with this prince?" Is it interesting to you? ”

Lu Xiyi patted her arm lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go in quickly." ”

"Okay."

The Queen Mother was having tea in the palace at this time, and when she learned that Lu Xiyi and the crown prince came to see her together, she laughed and looked at a few people with joy: "Today should be the happy day when Wei Guifei gave birth to the little prince, why don't you go to see her?" And they came to me? ”

Lu Xiyi stepped forward with a smile and said: "Of course, I always remember the Queen Mother in my heart, so I want to come for a sneak peek, Queen Mother, can the health wine stop these days?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Don't worry, according to your instructions, when to drink and when not to drink, Mama Liu will help me remember it clearly, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"Grandmother, if you really miss Mrs. Zhong, you can let her come more often to see your old man's house, so that there is no need to make such exclamations."

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "The mourning family also has such a meaning, but I know that since Xiaoxi got married, this day has passed, and it has become more and more flavorful, and you can't run to the palace often and show your face, that's not like it." ”

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea with a smile, and noticed that the woman in pink clothes next to Lu Xiyi looked delicate and very bright, and couldn't help asking: "This is the daughter of the Mei family in Yangzhou City?" ”

"Queen Mother, you really have good eyesight, this is Fang Ruo, take her into the palace today to have a look."

"Oh."

Mei Fangruo also stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother, and by the way, she also pretended to be strange in front of the Queen Mother, and told a few more stories, which made the Queen Mother laugh and had a good impression of her.

The two came out of Cining Palace together, and Lu Xiyi sighed.
