An amnesty order in the East Palace saved Lou Zhen's life, and also made Pei Yaowei grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom he had never met.

On the day Lou Zhen moved to prison, she wrote her first letter to Xiao Di, and dug out the moonlight brew that she had treasured for a long time, and Tuo Xiao also gave it to the East Palace to express her gratitude.

When she sent the letter, the last thing she expected was his reply, but later, when she learned to expect, he single-handedly destroyed all her hopes.

The lonely night turned the distant memories vividly, Pei Yao sighed deeply, hugged the pillow and lay on the bed, dream-like muttering 'spring' and 'autumn', I don't know how long it took, and finally fell asleep tiredly.

At noon the next day, she went to the back kitchen of the palace under the pretext of cooking herself.

When the cook in charge saw the princess, she was surprised, and she was even more cautious to greet her, for fear that she would not serve her well.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, I can't do anything, it's just a simple side dish. If there are too many people, you will be dizzy, so you can go down and rest, and leave a girl who washes vegetables for me. As she spoke, she casually pointed at her hand, "Well, just that girl, she looks smart." ”

The cook hurriedly responded, and then called the little girl named Qiongnu to her, and gave a lot of instructions, before leading everyone to retreat.

After the house was completely quiet, Qiong Nu wiped his hands neatly, changed his previous coquettish appearance, approached Pei Yao and bowed respectfully, and said, "I don't know what Niangniang commands?" ”

Pei Yao frowned and looked at her for a moment, still having some doubts in her heart.

Since the last time, after reuniting with Fangyue in Jietiangu, although she rejected Fangyue's proposal to install her subordinates in the Chu Palace, not long after, Fangyue still cut it first and managed to send Qiongnu into the back kitchen of the palace.

At the moment, she has made up her mind that she must meet Lou Zhen as soon as possible, but obviously, the people around her, whether it is Yu Xu or Qingchen, are not candidates who can entrust this task. Although Xiao Di said that he had left Beijing, he still had the eyes of Instant Rain, the palace and the other garden, which place was not heavily guarded? She trusted the loyalty of the person chosen by the Spinning Moon, but was it just the ability to come and go without a trace......

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Qiongnu asked suspiciously: "Niangniang?" ”

Pei Yao came back to his senses and asked, "How is your martial arts foundation?" ”

As soon as she asked, Joan understood what she was worried about. I saw her suddenly smile and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, the slave maid was sent in by Sister Yue for you to drive and protect your safety." I don't dare to say how high my martial arts attainments are, but no matter what you order, you will go to the Great Inner to steal the treasure, and the slave and maid will also have the confidence to live up to their mission. ”

Pei Yao lowered her eyes and smiled.

"But I'm worried." She took out two notes from her sleeve and handed them to Qiongnu one after another: "This is the map of the King of Chu's Gyeonggi Villa, you go as soon as possible and try to give this note to the people living in Tihong Fang." As she spoke, she roughly described Lou Zhen's appearance and that of Qiongnu.

Qiongnu carefully put away the two notes, and solemnly hugged her fist: "Yes, slave maid takes the order!" ”

Three days later, Pei Yaowei called Instant Rain to him.

"The princess is going to Zhaoye Temple?"

Pei Yaowei nodded, "Your Highness is now on the front line, I am uneasy, instead of hanging in the mansion day and night, it is better to go to the temple to live for a while, and pray for His Highness and the soldiers on the front line." ”

After a pause, she observed Instant Rain's face, and asked with a light smile, "Miss Instant Rain, is there a problem?" ”

She could see the embarrassment on Instant Rain's face, but just when she thought she had to work this matter, Instant Rain said: "The princess's heart is precious. It just so happened that the slave maid was also going to the temple to visit a distant guest on behalf of His Royal Highness, if the princess didn't mind, could the slave and maid be allowed to go along? ”

Far away?

Pei Yao's face was playful, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you have any distinguished guests from afar?" ”

It was Lou Zhen last time, who is it this time?

If you live in Shoye Temple, you should be a girl......

Instant rain was perfunctory, didn't answer her words, Pei Yao didn't delve into it, only bowed her head and said: "Girl, let's go and arrange it, how about leaving tomorrow?" ”

"Yes."

The road from the Chu Wangfu to Zhaoye Temple, Pei Yaowei is not the first time to walk, but it is a new thing to ride in the same carriage with Instant Rain.

Not long after the car drove out, she took the initiative to start the conversation, and asked with instant rain as if she was enthusiastic: "How many years has the girl been with His Highness?" ”

Instant Rain's tone did not fluctuate: "More than ten years." ”

"That's really a lot of age...... she sighed heartily, and for a while, as if she asked casually: "The girl is old now, have you ever thought about getting married?" ”

The words landed, and Instant Yu looked at her like a ghost.

"Looks like the girl never thought about it?" Pei Yao's face was calm, and she took out the attitude of being a housewife, and said to her patiently: "You are the henchman of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but in the final analysis, you are also a girl, the man should marry the woman, it is because of your loyalty that His Royal Highness can't treat you lightly." He was negligent for a while, and since I thought of it, I had to take care of one or two things for him. ”

Instant Yu frowned, and there was already a look of displeasure on his face, "I'm bothering the princess, but the slave maid has made up her mind to be loyal to His Royal Highness until she is old, your kindness, forgive the slave and maid for not being blessed." ”

"The girl is really loy......al," she thought for a moment and sighed, "Speaking of which, I have been optimistic about a good son-in-law for the girl in the morning, but unfortunately, it is a sought-after piece of fragrant bread, and before I have time to mention it to His Royal Highness, he was favored by the Qin family and wants to be a son-in-law!" ”

Instant rain shook his fingertips and almost lost his temper.

"The princess has been raised, and the slave and maid dare not be delusional." For a long time, she hoarse her throat and said calmly.

Delusion?

Pei Yaowei secretly paid attention to her expression, judging from her reaction, it didn't seem like she had no intention of Li Lin at all, and the confrontation outside the Yuguang Hall that day was enough to see that Li Lin had a heart for her, and the obstacle between the two of them was actually the arrogance of the instant rain?

"What is there not to be delusional?" She lifted the teapot, poured two teas, and handed one of them to the instant rain: "I am a concubine who has been fostered outside and has not even had a name for more than ten years, and I can be the concubine of His Royal Highness the King of Chu overnight. ”

Instant Yu held the tea, looked up at her for a long time, and finally just smiled.

"Does the princess know that in the eyes of the slave maid, what is the most bitter thing in this world?"

Pei Yaowei looked at her curiously, quietly waiting for an answer.

Instant rain said: "It's a fish and a bear's paw, you can't have both." ”

Pei Yao was stunned.

When I arrived at Zhaoye Temple, the abbot came to greet him, Pei Yao passed the incense on the front hall, and at the end of the rain, he was going to see the so-called 'guest'.

"Since it is a guest of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I don't know, everyone here has arrived, if you don't visit, I'm afraid it won't be a system." She stopped the footsteps of the instant rain and asked politely, "I want to go with the girl, I don't know if it is appropriate?" ”

Instant rain never mentioned the origin of this 'guest' to her along the way, because Pei Yaoyu thought that this was another Lou Zhen, and it was easy to see the light. never thought that after she deliberately made this request, Instant Rain just thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"The princess said with a smile, you are willing to go to visit, naturally there is nothing inappropriate. It's just that there are still sick people among them, and I'm afraid they will be rude in front of the princess. ”

Honorable? Are there any patients among them?

Instantaneous rain's two short sentences made Pei Yao feel that something was wrong, and she asked, "Who is this distant guest?" ”

Instant Rain had no intention of concealing it, sighed, and said, "It's Mr. Yiyuan's wife and daughter." ”

Mr. One Yuan's wife...... That's the daughter of Xiao Di's retainer?

Pei Yaowei always knew that there was such a thing, but Leng Buding suddenly had a subtle feeling in front of her, and she became more and more busy wanting to see what kind of character this one-man doctor wife was.

"You just said that there is a patient," on the way to the backyard, Pei Yaowei asked, "Who is sick?" Lady or girl? ”

Instant Rain's face was gloomy, faintly worried, "It's Mr.'s daughter." After a pause, she added, "I'm only six years old this year." ”

When a child is sick, it is always more pitiful, Pei Yaowei frowned slightly, and asked again: "Is it serious?" ”

"I heard that it has stabilized in the past two days."

That's good. She nodded, but then she thought about it, and found a problem again.

She asked Instant Rain: "Madame, doesn't you know that Mr. Yiyuan has gone on an expedition with His Royal Highness?" Since you have come all the way from the north, why did you stay in Zhaoye Temple? ”

Hearing this, Instant Yu's face relaxed, and he explained to her: "The princess doesn't know. The child was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs., and was born frail and often sick. At the end of last year, the little girl had a serious illness, Mr. Yiyuan was helpless, and thought he couldn't keep it, but he didn't expect to be cured after living in Zhaoye Temple for a few days. ”

Pei Yaowei couldn't help but be surprised: "There is such a thing? ”

Instant Yu nodded: "So this time, the child fell ill and the medicine she took for several days didn't work, so Mrs. led her all the way over." As she spoke, she smiled slightly, "Fortunately, looking at it now, this Zhaoye Temple lives up to expectations." Regardless of her external illness, it is good to be safe after all! ”

As they spoke, the two of them passed through the courtyard gate and came to the door of the lady.

Instant Rain came up and knocked at the door, and in a short time a woman opened the door from within.

At first glance, Pei Yao's eyes lit up.

She was dressed in snow-blue clothes, combed a fallen horse bun, simple hair accessories, her face was completely unpowdered, her facial features were elegant, but she exuded some refreshing air.

What a rare beauty. Pei Yao thought to herself.

On the side, Instant Yu smiled and saluted: "The slave has seen Mrs. Zhao." ”

This lady looked like she was twenty or thirty years old, but when she saw the instant rain at this moment, she became the younger one, and said happily: "The instant rain is coming!" As she spoke, she glanced at it and saw Princess Chu on the side.

Mrs. Zhao was stunned at first, and then she praised without hesitation: "Yo...... What a beautiful girl! I really lived so much in vain, I didn't know that there was such a beautiful color in the world! ”
