Lin'an is thousands of miles away from the capital, half of it is a mountain road, and it takes three days and nights to ride a fast horse, and if you drive or walk slowly, the number of days cannot be calculated.

After Qiuyue left a letter instead of Hua Yan, she also climbed the tall and smooth old apricot trunk that had been pruned for a hundred years and the lower half of her body was pruned to climb the high wall of the west wall, stepped on the ladder given by Zheng Erhu, and left the flower mansion without alarming anyone.

Zheng Erhu took 35,000 taels of silver from Hua Yan, and 30,000 or 20,000 ran to pay off his gambling debts, and 5,000 taels as the expenses for going to the capital to deliver the letter first.

Zheng Erhu happily took the first step on the road with the apricot blossom branches, and he didn't even think about what the fresh and delicate apricot blossom branches would look like even if he successfully arrived in the capital and then went to the East Palace to see the prince handed over to him, a few days had passed. In his opinion, Hua Yan took the initiative to go to the East Palace, which is a good thing, compared to the fact that he helped her escape and was convicted, the sporadic flaws are simply negligible.

As for the implication of Huayan sending apricot blossom branches to the prince, he won't even think about it, in short, he thinks that this is a better beauty than ten years in prison.

Qiu Yue saw Zheng Erhu carrying an apricot blossom branch on the road, the corners of his mouth twitched and twitched, and saw Hua Yan humming a Jiangnan tune, looking heartless and heartless, and planned to enter Beijing leisurely like this. She held back for a long time before she spoke, "Miss, if you want to send prince flowers, you should also send peach blossoms, why did you fold apricot blossoms!" ”

Hua Yan held a piece of grass in her mouth, and said while enjoying the scenery on the side of the road, "A branch of red apricot came out of the wall, I told him that I ran out secretly." ”

The corners of Qiu Yue's mouth twitched again, she was speechless for a while, she ran away with confidence, and she used this method to send a message, but there was no one.

She looked at Hua Yan and suddenly became curious, "You said, what kind of expression will the prince have when he sees the apricot blossom branch you asked Zheng Erhu to send?" ”

Hua Yan didn't bother to guess, "Whatever, just send the letter." ”

Qiu Yue was speechless again, thinking that Miss was really not afraid of smashing her broken jar in front of the prince, how many people in the world want to marry into the East Palace, not to mention being a princess, she is a concubine, and she is afraid that she will squeeze her head and break the bloodstream. But her young lady, when she heard about the marriage, she was so angry that she almost demolished the palace wall of the East Palace, and later thought of countless ways to ruin this marriage.

A woman should be gentle and dignified, virtuous and virtuous, and have a beautiful temperament, but she doesn't have half a point.

From childhood to adulthood, Miss is a person who doesn't care about reputation, and she has done a lot of things. It's just that all these years have been suppressed by the elders of the Hua family, so it hasn't been passed out, if it is passed out early, the queen mother probably won't let the imperial painter come to the Hua family.

Now that Yi Zhi has been married for a year, the marriage is on the agenda, and the young lady has not been able to ask the prince to cancel the marriage. On the contrary, now, I have to go to the East Palace to familiarize myself with the environmental rules in advance.

She sometimes doesn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose her young lady, if she didn't know what she looked like before, she was selected according to the roster, and she didn't know the ridiculous things about the young lady, but in the past year, the things that the young lady made up of can't even be suppressed by the elders of the Hua family, but the prince helped to suppress it. This is obviously a decision, and this marriage cannot be ruined.

In terms of family background, although the Hua family is not ranked among the major families in the world, it is only a middle-class family. As for the young lady's conduct, she didn't want to talk about it after following her for many years.

Hey, in a word, it's very difficult to understand!

"Why don't you speak?" Huayan asked Qiuyue.

Qiu Yue looked at her and said worriedly, "Although the East Palace is not tight, the Queen Mother in the palace is afraid that she will deal with you." When the imperial painter came to Anhua to paint for you into the roster, you didn't want to be included in the book, and covered your face with a book, and the queen mother was very dissatisfied. Later, there was a personal affair with An Gongzi of Anyang Wangfu, and the Queen Mother knew that she almost ruined the roster, and then although the prince resolved the matter in a few words, the Queen Mother couldn't help the prince to set you, but then he fell ill. For more than a year, although the Hua family and the prince have worked together to hide the things you have done, it must be difficult to hide from the queen mother, and this time the prince will take you into the palace to familiarize yourself with the rules of the East Palace and the royal family. After you enter Beijing, the Queen Mother is bound to make things difficult for you. ”

Hua Yan didn't care, "It's good to make things difficult, I'm afraid she won't make things difficult." ”

Qiu Yue looked at Hua Yan, "Then you have to think about how to deal with it in advance, otherwise, you will suffer." ”

"Suffer?" Hua Yan smiled and reached out to knock Qiu Yue's head, "You think too much." ”

Qiu Yue rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Miss, the queen is early, the crown prince was raised by the queen mother, and it is said that he respects the queen mother very much, if you don't want to suffer, you are bound to offend the queen mother." Although you haven't made the prince tired of canceling the marriage contract in the past year, if it concerns the queen mother, the prince is afraid that he will not be towards you again, so isn't it over? ”

"Isn't it exactly what I wanted?" ”

Qiu Yue was completely speechless.

The two traveled all the way, walking slowly and leisurely, walking for more than half a month, and they had not yet arrived in the capital.

And Zheng Erhu remembered Huayan's confession, bought a good horse, whipped the horse quickly, ran for three days and nights, and arrived in the capital on the fourth day.

It's easy to get to the capital, it's easy to find the East Palace, but if you want to see the prince, it's difficult to hand over the apricot blossom branch to him in person.

If the prince was so easy to see, there would not be so many ordinary people who sharpened their heads to see the prince's appearance.

Zheng Erhu wandered outside the gate of the East Palace for three days, the East Palace was too big, covering an area of how many acres, I don't know which door the prince goes in and out of every day, seeing that the apricot blossom branches are so dry that there are only a few dried flowers left, he only then realized that the thing that Huayan gave him is not easy to keep, it has a shelf life, and he is really anxious to see that there is going to be a dry fork left, he is really anxious, so he ran to Ronghua Street, the only way to the palace.

After guarding for a whole day, when the sun was setting, I finally arrived at the carriage with the license plate of the East Palace.

He couldn't care anymore, and immediately stopped the car and shouted, "The crown princess ordered the villain to send a token to His Royal Highness the prince!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince park, park! ”

As soon as he shouted this broken gong, the whole street heard it.

The guards of the East Palace were all shocked, and the palace guards stepped forward in an instant, holding Zheng Erhu's neck with their swords, and shouted angrily, "What person? ”

Zheng Erhu was frightened, his body trembled a few times, and he felt the cold blade of the neck stalk, which could make his head different in the blink of an eye, he was bold and shouted in a trembling voice, "Prince...... Villain...... It was a token for the crown princess. ”

Donggong Mansion Wei had heard it clearly earlier, but now he looked at his stupid appearance with a tiger head, revealing suspicion.

At this time, a slender and white hand like jade stretched out in the carriage to open the curtain, slowly revealing a Qinghua warm appearance, eyebrows like ink paintings, eyes like spring water, pale lips, clear voice, with a hint of warmth, looked at Zheng Erhu, and asked, "Are you a person sent by the crown princess?" Lin'an flowers? ”

Zheng Erhu looked at the person who leaned out, although he only showed half of his body, wearing a light cyan soft robe, and couldn't see the whole picture clearly, but he was stunned for a while. Thinking that this is the rumored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

It has the elegance of washing in the turbid world, and it is like a cloud on the horizon that falls into the glitz of the world.

This is the Prince!

Prince!

His face was dumbfounded, but his heart was so excited that he finally saw the prince.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the guards on both sides immediately shouted angrily, "Be bold and make a fool of the people, and when you see the prince, you won't kneel down and reply!" ”

Zheng Erhu was woken up, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, holding up the apricot blossom branch, trembling so excited that he almost wiped a handful of bitter tears and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people have finally seen you, the grass people have been guarding outside the East Palace for three days, and here for another day...... This is the apricot blossom branch that the princess entrusted the villain to send to you in Beijing. ”

Yun Chi looked at Zheng Erhu, his eyes fell on the dried flower branch he was holding high, and after listening to him babble, his eyebrows moved, and he asked in a cool voice, "Apricot blossom branch?" ”

Zheng Erhu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's the apricot blossom branch." ”

Yun Chi raised his eyebrows, "Hua Yan gave it to me?" ”

Zheng Erhu nodded again and again.

Yun Chi looked at the dry apricot blossom branch and was silent for a moment, and said, "Take it." ”

Zheng Erhu hurriedly got up and handed over the apricot blossom branch.

At this time, a palace guard pressed his neck with a knife, and Mu Sheng shouted, "You are not allowed to move, give me the apricot blossom branch." ”

Zheng Erhu could only obediently kneel back on the ground and give the apricot blossom branch to Nafuwei.

Nafu Wei took the dry apricot blossom branch, checked that it was no different, and stepped forward and handed it to Yun Chi.

Yun Chi took the apricot blossom branch, looked at it for a while, and asked Zheng Erhu, "In addition to asking you to send an apricot blossom branch, what else did she let you say?" ”

Zheng Erhu nodded hurriedly, "She said that I will give you the apricot blossom branch, and by the way, I will tell you that you don't need to send someone to pick it up, she will come by herself." ”

Yun Chi played with the dry branches, and a few wilted apricot blossoms fell to the ground in clusters when he took the apricot blossom branches into his hand, he looked at it, and suddenly smiled, "She is understanding." ”

Zheng Erhu didn't understand what this sentence meant, and looked at Yun Chi.

Yun Chi waved his hand and lowered the curtain, and his cool voice commanded, "Let's go, take him back to the East Palace." ”
