Yang Qiqi took a look at the queen, hurriedly lowered his head, and didn't dare to look over there.

Although she has only seen these concubines around the emperor once or twice, she also knows that none of them are good people.

In the last life, in the later period of Emperor Yonghui, a group of princes made trouble outside the palace, and these masters and ladies in the palace were not idle. From Wen Yaojia's mouth alone, she had heard a lot of palace secrets. It's really a killer sentence, and every word is bloody.

Yang Qiqi lowered his head honestly, followed Ruyi step by step, and couldn't help but think of Wen Yaojia in his heart, his cousin should also be in the palace at this time.

The funeral of the virtuous concubine was huge, and Emperor Yonghui dropped out of the dynasty for five days to express his condolences. Below Ouchi, the emperor's relatives and relatives wear plain clothes for three days, and they can only be removed on the day of the big festival. The eunuchs of the Inner Palace Bureau and the female officials of the Six Lords of the Inner Court all had to wear filial piety clothes for the virtuous concubines.

In the Beishan Palace, all the female officials, internal eunuchs, palace maids, and guards who have served the concubine are given into the underground palace, that is, they are martyred for the concubine.

The rituals were too complicated, and most of the time Yang Qiqi followed Murong Zhao to guard the spirit in the filial piety shed. During this period, I saw my grandmother Cui, Yang Fu, Mrs. Li and others from afar. The great grandmother of Pingyang, who has always been self-conscious, did not bother to deal with such a ridiculous funeral, and until the burial of Jingxian and Guifei, she did not see the figure of the Pingyang princess.

And Yang Qiqi finally left the filial piety shed of the Returning to Truth Temple after the funeral.

In Dayan, the underage princes all live with their mothers. Due to the death of Murong Zhao's mother, the emperor specially gave Murong Zhao the Wude Hall next to the East Palace to live in.

Although the Wude Hall is slightly smaller than the East Palace, it is also an independent palace. It is especially convenient to come and go, and you can go out of the palace soon after walking from Wude Gate to Changle Gate. It is also very close to the Hongwen Hall where the prince goes to school on weekdays. Such a proper arrangement shows the emperor's grace to Murong Zhao.

After entering the Wude Palace, Murong Zhao asked people to clean up the room on the east side of the apse for Yang Qiqi to live in.

This is a small independent courtyard, which is very quiet and elegant. Yang Qiqi was particularly satisfied with such an arrangement.

After a simple tidy-up, Yang Qiqi walked around the outside of the Wude Hall again to familiarize himself with the environment. As soon as he arrived in the front yard, he saw He Qingtai, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, walking in a square step and carrying the floating dust from the instrument gate.

Yang Qiqi recognized him, immediately stood still, and blessed him: "Please public security." ”

He Qingtaisheng's kind eyebrows and kind eyes said with a smile: "You are the little girl that His Highness Eleventh brought back from outside the palace?" Yang Qiqi nodded and answered crisply.

He Qingtai raised the dust and asked Yang Qiqi to lead the way to see Murong Zhao.

Entering the Wude Palace, Yang Qiqi greeted the inner supervisor who sprinkled the tea while going to the inner hall to invite Murong Zhao. As soon as he walked to the screen standing in the inner hall, he heard Ruyi's voice say, "Your Highness, the origin of that little girl is unknown. His Royal Highness sent it away at will, why do you have to stay by your side! ”

"Ruyi!" Murong Zhao's voice was slightly deep, and he looked a little unhappy, "Xiao Qi is not a girl of unknown origin. Besides, I was able to survive thanks to her. With me, she is just as trustworthy as you are! ”

"Your Highness......" Ruyi called out in shock, and said: "I can't believe it!" At such a young age, it looks like it's scheming. What's more, has His Royal Highness forgotten that the palace changed the way to send people to other mountains? What if she's someone else's nail? ”

Murong Zhao said with great certainty: "No! ”

"Besides, look at her doesn't understand the rules and hasn't seen the world. Following His Royal Highness, he will only lose the face of His Highness and Niangniang......" Ruyi couldn't accept it, and fiercely argued with Murong Zhao that the palace maid Xiaoqi had a ghost in her heart.

Yang Qiqi knew that Ruyi was hostile to him, and he had no interest in eavesdropping on their speeches. immediately coughed, interrupting the conversation between the two. She bypassed the screen and bowed to Murong Zhao in a proper manner: "The chief manager He beside the emperor is here." ”

If the person who came in was Yang Qiqi, his face immediately turned red with embarrassment, his face was unhappy, and he couldn't help but scold: "How long have you been hiding behind the screen, and what do you want to eavesdrop?" ”

Yang Qiqi was unimpressed by her burning anger, and said lightly: "Manager He must be an important matter when he comes over, I don't dare to delay, I will report immediately." ”

Ruyi's face changed, and he said with a picky eye: "A girl with no rules, she wants to call herself a slave in the palace!" ”

Yang Qiqi replied softly, and said gently: "But Sister Ruyi is not the master, I don't have to call myself a slave when I talk to you, right?" ”

Murong Zhao thought of the lonely and fierce Yang Qiqi in Nagano, but he couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Ruyi glared at Yang Qiqi fiercely, don't turn around and leave in a hurry. Murong Zhao dusted off the placket of the white embroidered auspicious cloud dark pattern of the Shan Moon, stepped forward and said, "Ruyi has always been very cautious. ”

Yang Qiqi nodded indifferently and followed Murong Zhao to the main hall.

It turned out that the emperor summoned Murong Zhao and specially asked He Qingtai to pass it on.

Murong Zhao simply cleaned up, and only took An Liang and Xiao Qi to the emperor's imperial study to set up the main hall.

"Your Highness, if the emperor asks about going back to the palace that day to cry, what do you say?"

After several days of sadness and busyness, Murong Zhaoquan forgot to ask Yang Qiqi about the instructions about crying spirits on the day he returned to the palace. At this time, Yang Qiqi mentioned it, and he remembered it, and said suspiciously: "Xiao Qi, Brother Prince, let me hold back in front of the courtiers." Why did you make me cry when I saw my father that day? made my father feel sad, and his eyes were red. The king of a country wept in front of his ministers, it is really a loss of prestige! ”

Yang Qiqi glanced at him and said, "Do you know that the filial son helps the soul and cries all the way?" Dayan rules the world with filial piety, what is the reason why you, who are filial sons, send your mother's coffin home, and don't hear the crying? ”

Only then did Murong Zhao understand the seriousness of the matter, and his eyes were clear, and he immediately fell into depression, "You, you mean the prince's brother......"

Yang Qiqi shook his head, interrupting Murong Zhao's worries, "I didn't say that, maybe I was in too much of a hurry." But if Your Majesty asks in a moment......"

Murong Zhao thought for a while and said, "I naturally want to hide it for the prince's brother." ”

Yang Qiqi glanced at Murong Zhao in surprise, and sighed again in her heart, is this still the ruthless Murong Zhao she knew in her previous life, if someone offends me, cut the grass and eradicate the roots?!

"No, you have to tell the truth!"
