Chapter 80: Entering the palace to inquire

After that, Ye Qingli didn't see Xiao Tingyi again for several days.

It's just that from time to time, I can hear the first report brought back by Linglong, saying what happened to Xiao Tingyi, and the green and pink butterflies are pinching again.

But it was as if none of them noticed that the red shadow was gone.

Lin Feng hasn't appeared either, and I don't know if there is any news from Hongying now.

Ye Qingli's days seem to have fallen into a calm cycle again, but in the daily schedule, there is more teaching Linglong to read and write.

However, she still dreams of the white deer every night.

So beautiful, holy.

It's just that the dream is still surprisingly the same, the white deer turned into a brilliant and dazzling meteor and fell towards the unknown edge.

"Princess, the slave maid is ready!"

Linglong held her own words and shouted Ye Qingli who was reading, but she didn't react.

"Princess?"

Linglong shouted cautiously again.

She heard that people who are caught in their thoughts should not shout loudly, otherwise they will be scared stupid.

"Huh? What did you say? ”

Ye Qingli came back to her senses, looked at her, and found the words in her hand, so she smiled and took it.

The first words she taught Linglong to learn to write were her own name, and Linglong's own name, a total of five words, and Linglong had been practicing for several days.

At the beginning, it was written like 'a young man who left home and a big man', crookedly not to mention, and he was divided into four families, so he couldn't read it at all.

But Linglong worked very hard and practiced very seriously.

In just a few days, there was still a look, which made Ye Qingli feel very relieved.

"It's getting better."

After Ye Qingli examined it, he pointed out again, "Horizontal should be upright, straight, vertical and upright, so that the written words can be clean and beautiful." ”

"Well, the slave remembers!"

Linglong nodded earnestly, ready to practice a few more times.

"Princess."

Mama Gui knocked on the door outside.

"Please come in."

Linglong hurried to open the door and let Mama Gui in.

"Mama, what's the matter?"

Linglong usually learns to write and read books in the morning, and learns etiquette skills with Mama Gui in the afternoon.

"Princess, there is a will in the palace, and Your Majesty has sent a decree to the prince and you to enter the palace."

Mama Gui replied respectfully.

"Into the palace?"

Ye Qingli sighed, "I thought that this trip could be saved." ”

Before, there was a fire in Chengfu Bezhuang, and the whereabouts of the owner Cheng Jin and the housekeeper were unknown, and it happened that there was wind that day, which caused the fire to become larger, causing a small area of mountain fires, and at the same time, the rest of the Bezhuang was also burned.

And because of this, the Xianwang couple were 'frightened' and returned to Beijing.

At least, on the surface.

But after all, a fire burned down Cheng Mansion and Cheng Jin, and the Jin State Mansion would definitely cry to Xiao Mingrui, as a relatively close 'witness' at that time, Xiao Mingrui was bound to summon them.

In any case, this matter needs to be investigated, and an explanation should be given to the Jin State Mansion and Concubine Lan.

But after she came back, she never heard the news, and thought that Xiao Tingyi had solved this matter by herself.

Mama Gui smiled, "Naturally, you can't save it." ”

As soon as this incident happened, the Duke of Jin was so grief-stricken that he immediately fainted, and it was not until the next day that he went to the palace to cry and cry for justice for his son.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Lan in the palace also learned the bad news, and also cried with Xiao Mingrui, saying that her brother had died unjustly and wanted to seek justice.

As a result, this matter, which should have been handed over to the Criminal Department for investigation, was highly valued by Xiao Mingrui.

After the Criminal Department sent someone to investigate, detailed the results, and reported to Xiao Mingrui, Xiao Mingrui understood the cause and effect, and then sent an order to let Xiao Tingyi and Ye Qingli enter the palace for questioning.

"Got it."

Ye Qingli thought about it for a while, and then said, "Mama, help me make up." ”

"Yes."

Mama Gui nodded, then looked at Linglong, and said with a smile, "Linglong, you can take a good look, when the princess enters the palace, the bun she has to comb is different from the style on weekdays, and she must be dignified and steady, not too casual." ”

Linglong looked pious and serious, staring at Mama Gui's hand.

On-site teaching, it feels different, and watching Mama Gui's hands fly dexterously and coil up Ye Qingli's hair, Linglong is so stared that her eyes are about to come out.

That's amazing!

"Alright."

Mama Gui combed Ye Qingli with a flying phoenix bun and put on a delicate hairpin.

Linglong's face was full of admiration, she looked left and right around Ye Qingli, and said with a smile, "Princess, you are so good-looking." ”

She had never seen Ye Qingli dressed in formal clothes, and after seeing it this time, she found that Ye Qingli seemed to have a fierce atmosphere, which made people dare not underestimate it.

"This time, Linglong will come with me."

"Huh?"

Linglong suddenly shuddered, this is the palace......

"Linglong, since you want to take care of the princess, you have to stand by her side all the time."

Mama Gui also agreed with Ye Qingli's decision.

"Yes."

Linglong was like a great enemy, but he still nodded, and bowed his head to accept his fate.

When he went out, Xiao Tingyi was already waiting in the car.

"Princess, be careful."

Lin Feng respectfully reminded him beside the car, Ye Qingli nodded at him, and got into the car with the corner of his skirt.

And when he entered the carriage, he happened to be opposite Xiao Tingyi's line of sight.

Seeing Ye Qingli, there seemed to be some emotion flashing in his eyes, but he frowned slightly, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

And Ye Qingli directly staggered his gaze and sat on the other side, Xiao Tingyi clenched his fist slightly, and let go.

The car drove slowly, but the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely awkward at this time.

Today, Ye Qingli is wearing a madder Ruyi orchid floor-length skirt, with a delicate neckline rolled with a ruyi pattern sewn with silver thread, which just sets off her slender neck.

Her hair was meticulously coiled up, and she wore jewelry equivalent to that of the princess, looking dignified, noble and unattainable.

He had never seen Ye Qingli have such a spirit.

However, this was only because of Ye Qingli's coldness to him, which led to the estrangement between the two.

And Ye Qingli is usually in this state for people who don't want to pay attention.

Xiao Tingyi just watched her all the way quietly, and Ye Qingli herself knew that he had been watching her, but he just didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Lord and Princess, it's here."

The car slowly stopped, Lin Feng's voice sounded, and Xiao Tingyi responded, "Got it." ”

In front of everyone, they still have to pretend to be out of tune after all, although, since that day, they have long been out of tune.

Xiao Tingyi glanced at it, and Ye Qingli, who seemed to be isolated from the world at this time, got out of the car first.

And soon, Ye Qingli also got out of the car, and the whole person was already cowering and extremely frightened.

"Don't hurry up yet."

Xiao Tingyi muttered expressionlessly, and walked straight ahead, while Ye Qingli responded resignedly, running all the way in small steps, chasing him with some effort.

As soon as this clear-eyed person saw it, he knew that His Royal Highness the Idle King did not want to see his own princess.

And Xiao Tingyi deliberately kept a distance of more than ten meters from her, and Ye Qingli was always far away, watching Xiao Tingyi step into the door of the imperial study alone.

"She's just a broom star, and this king has never been so unlucky when he lives so big!"

As soon as she entered the door, Ye Qingli heard Xiao Tingyi complaining about this 'unsatisfactory' marriage.

So, he stood at the door awkwardly, neither entering nor retreating.

"Aunt Huang, come in."

Xiao Mingrui was kind and pleasant, and said to Xiao Tingyi, "Uncle Huang, this incident is an accident, you can't blame the imperial aunt, and besides, I have made a holy decree to let you accompany the imperial aunt at home, but you took a group of beauties out, how can you rely on the imperial aunt's head?" ”

At first glance, the relationship between Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Tingyi does not seem to be good.

"Hmph, it's not this foolish marriage you arranged for this king!"

Xiao Tingyi was still indignant, and the eunuchs and palace maids on the side all changed their faces, and the only one in the world who dared to be so disrespectful to His Majesty was His Royal Highness the Idle King.

And Xiao Mingrui's expression froze, and he laughed again, "Uncle Huang, that's because I think that the imperial aunt is gentle and can stand your broken temper, but you always bully the imperial aunt." ”

"Humph!"

Xiao Tingyi still looked impatient, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to get away from Ye Qingli quickly.

But invisibly, he has opened the topic and changed from passive to active.

If he was asked by Xiao Mingrui as soon as he entered the door, he would probably be disturbed by the questions he had prepared a long time ago, and Ye Qingli had not yet entered the door, but on the contrary, as soon as he entered the door, he began to complain about his dissatisfaction with Ye Qingli, so Xiao Mingrui was interrupted.

When he brought the topic back, the atmosphere was different.

At that time, no matter how Xiao Mingrui asked, Ye Qingli had already come in, she could hear it clearly, and it was convenient for the two of them to react.

"Uncle Huang, you-"

"Oh yes, Your Majesty wants to ask about the fire that day, right?"

Xiao Tingyi seemed to have finally reacted, and said to himself, "If you don't bring this woman, this will definitely not happen!" With such a big fire, it feels like even this king is about to burn! ”

And Ye Qingli just bowed his head and remained silent, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Aunt Huang, can you tell me about the situation that day?"

Hearing Xiao Mingrui ask her, Ye Qingli's subconscious breathing became heavier.

Until now, she still can't control her emotions well, every time, as long as she thinks of Xiao Mingrui, she can't wait to crush him.

Now the man was standing in front of her, but she could do nothing.

The pain and anger burned her heart like a fire!

Feeling her strange appearance, Xiao Tingyi's eyes deepened, and Xiao Mingrui said, "Aunt Huang, you don't have to be afraid, just say anything in front of me." ”

Ye Qingli tried her best to adjust her state, first glanced at Xiao Tingyi quickly, then quickly lowered her head, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the concubine is ...... He never went out of his yard in Beizhuang, and he didn't know what was happening, but the prince ordered him to go, so he went, and when he ordered him to come back, he followed back. ”
