There is no place in the world where Xia Yu can't go, only where she doesn't want to go. Earlier, I was reluctant to enter this boxy human prison because I felt that freedom trumped everything and that there was no need to go in.

But now, standing under the high palace gate, Xia Yu thought. There is nothing more important than seeking justice for Hua Manlou's more than 100 lives, and doing something for Zhao Laojiu.

handed over half of the jade pendant given by Zhao Lu to the guard at the door, and the guard quickly sent it in, and then handed it over layer by layer, and finally arrived in Zhao Lu's hands. Seeing that it was half a jade pendant that he gave to Xia Yu, Zhao Lu was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly instructed Shunzi, "Hurry up and take her to the side hall of the imperial study, where I will wait for her." ”

The minister can only go to the imperial study when he sees him, so Xia Yu can't enter the imperial study.

Therefore, Zhao Lu could only meet Xia Yu in the side hall of the imperial study.

Xia Yu stood at the gate of the palace and waited for a long time, Xunmei and Anu looked at each other.

"The young master really wants to go in?" Xunmei hesitated. After all, this is the royal palace, the center of power. The place that the palace master hated the most back then was here. Now Xia Yu has to take the initiative to go in, which makes Xunmei's heart very uncomfortable.

"It's all here, do you want to go home?" Xia Yu smiled, "Don't worry." I'll be fine. ”

"Subordinates can accompany Childe in." Anu, who had never spoken, finally opened his mouth. She was originally from the Rui Wangfu, not to mention that she was a criminal slave in the palace earlier, so she still knows a lot about the situation in the palace.

Xia Yu nodded, "Okay." ”

When he first entered the palace, in fact, Xia Yu didn't know the bottom of his heart. Zhao Laojiu is not here, she has to rely on herself, just like her former self.

The eyes are bright, the heart is more, the mouth is sweeter, and the knees may as well be softer. Survival is king, and there is no need to be with some irrelevant people. So competitive. In the world that can't be squeezed into, she won't force it in, so as not to embarrass others and respond to herself.

It's not worth it!

Shunzi saw Xia Yu at a glance, and trotted all the way to Xia Yu, "Young Master Xia, please come here." ”

Xia Yu nodded and took Anu out of the palace gate.

This was the first time she had stepped into the palace.

But for some reason, there was an inexplicable feeling. The feeling is almost indescribable, it seems to be an old friend I haven't seen in years. once reunited, and then had mixed feelings, and was speechless for a while.

Standing on the Jiuqu Covered Bridge, Xia Yu paused, I don't know why, I was a little panicked.

Inexplicable panic, inexplicable chaos.

Scratching the back of his neck, Xia Yu took a deep breath and continued to walk forward with Shunzi, "Father-in-law Shunzi, where is the emperor?" ”

Shunzi smiled, "Don't worry, Prince Xia, the emperor is waiting in the side hall of the imperial study, you can just follow the slave ----." In front of you is the Imperial Garden. Later, if you see some noble people, don't look up. ”

"I made a note of it." Xia Yu bowed.

There are indeed a lot of warblers and swallows in the imperial garden, all of which are Zhao Lu's harem. What beauties, nobles, concubines and the like, all of them are pretentious, looking at the smile like a flower, but in fact, they are intrigued and fighting.

It's no wonder that there are so many women, but there is only one emperor, who doesn't want to have a couple for a lifetime.

It's just that after entering this palace, this can only be regarded as a legend, just listen to it.

"Presumptuous!" A sharp voice suddenly came from behind, and Junko knelt on the ground with her head pressed very low, as if she was extremely frightened, and even her body trembled slightly.

Anu stepped forward quickly, dragged Xia Yu to his knees, and said in a low voice, "Don't look up, it's the Queen Mother." ”

Xia Yu was frightened, why did the old woman of the Queen Mother also come out? Pity her knees, she didn't kneel much in the Rui Wangfu, but she knelt directly when she entered the palace.

The floor is so hard that it hurts your knees---- it's not your average pain!

"It's not from the palace, is it?" The Empress Dowager Bo Yao stepped forward slowly, and the huge Empress Dowager Luan drove in front of Xia Yu. Dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a phoenix hairpin, his demeanor is dignified and noble. Those sharp eyes, cold and lukewarm, swept over everyone's heads, showing a lofty posture.

Junzi knelt on the ground and hurriedly answered, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, yes." ”

He didn't dare to say more, for fear that he would say too much and make a mistake.

"Summoned by the Emperor?" Empress Dowager Bo Yao frowned slightly.

Junko bowed, "Yes." ”

The emperor is used to messing around, and he is bent on Luban's skills, and he thinks that he is some folk streams. Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Bo Yao sighed lightly, turned around and almost wanted to leave. But for some reason, just after taking a step, he suddenly paused again, and looked back at Xia Yu who was kneeling on the ground, "Raise your head and let the mourning family see." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu was slightly shocked.

But the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, how can she disobey her will

There is something about the dignity and inferiority of status, Xia Yu is still clear. I didn't know before, but since entering the Rui Wangfu and being with Zhao Shuo, Xia Yu basically understood one thing: it is difficult to have the word equality between people.

The people are the people, and the royal family is the royal family.

The world is so realistic that you can't afford not to admit it.

Xia Yu took a deep breath, raised his head slightly, his eyelashes raised slightly, and his eyes suddenly collided with the sight cast by the Empress Dowager Bo Yao. It's just a moment, each of them is stunned, and then there is something slightly wrong in his eyes, which is fleeting.

"See the Queen Mother." Xia Yu kowtowed.

Empress Dowager Bo Yao quickly retracted her gaze, "What's your name?" ”

"Summer rain." She answered.

Wu En, the chief eunuch, reprimanded, "Presumptuous, to answer the words of the Queen Mother, you should add the word slave, you ----"

"Alright." Empress Dowager Bo Yao raised her hand and motioned for Wu Enmo to interject, "How old are you ---- this year?" "It's long and rubbish.

"Sixteen." Xia Yu didn't dare to look up.

Empress Dowager Bo Yao's heart was slightly shocked, and her face still maintained the initial calm, "Get up!" ”

Xia Yu thanked him, and then he got up.

The summer rain in front of me is too similar. Like myself back then, looking at her is like looking in a mirror. Not to mention the Empress Dowager Bo Yao, even Aunt Fang Ying beside her also followed her heartbeat.

It's a pity that this Xia Yu is a man, otherwise ---- would really look more like the Empress Dowager Bo Yao than the princess of the dynasty.

"Third brother!" Zhao Lu trotted all the way, and when he saw that the Queen Mother was also present, he immediately smiled and bowed, "Say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

The servants all knelt down, "Knock to the emperor." ”

"Get up, get up." Zhao Lu dragged Xia Yu to him, "Why did it take so long to arrive?" I've been waiting for a long time, and I can't wait, so I'll come to you. Let's go, follow me. ”

"Emperor." Empress Dowager Bo Yao had a cold face, "The court is public, pulling and pulling, what kind of system is it?" You are the emperor today, how can you be so involved with a commoner? ”

Zhao Lu's face changed slightly, and then he became respectful, "The son is reckless, please forgive the queen mother." ”

"Also, what did you just call him?" Empress Dowager Bo Yao asked.

Zhao Lu hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. The whole person seemed a little restrained and a little flustered.

Xia Yu took a step forward, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, there are three sisters and brothers in the slave family, and the slave is the third, so the family calls the slave. Milk. He is called the third brother to show his kindness. The slave and the emperor got acquainted by chance, and the emperor accidentally called the slave on a whim. Milk. name, and ask the Queen Mother to forgive her sins. ”

This is reasonable, although the emperor is out of character, but it is harmless.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Bo Yao let out a sigh of relief, "The forbidden place of the palace cannot be arbitrary. Go ahead! She turned away.

The footsteps are getting farther and farther away, and Xia Yu's back has already developed a layer of coldness.

"Third brother, let's go." Zhao Lu grabbed Xia Yu's hand and led her all the way directly, completely ignoring the stunned eyes of the servants around her. Xia Yu wanted to break free, but ---- Zhao Lu was excited, it was rare for Xia Yu to enter the palace, he was very happy, and naturally he would not let go.

Zhao Lu took Xia Yu directly to the side hall of the imperial study, but forgot to let go, "It's rare for you to enter the palace, I'm very happy." Say, whatever you want, I can satisfy you. ”

Xia Yu frowned, "You let go first." ”

Only then did he notice that he had been holding Xia Yu's hand. But when he looked down, he was slightly surprised, "Your hands are so beautiful." Thin skin and tender meat, slender as jade, better than those harem concubines. How to maintain it, tell me about it. As he spoke, he happily stroked the back of Xia Yu's hand.

Stunned, Xia Yu quickly withdrew his hand, and gave a dead fish eye for nothing, "A big man, what are you doing touching around?" If you want to touch, touch those delicate concubines in your harem. Didn't you say that the emperor's harem had three thousand beauties? Touching them one by one is enough for you to touch them for thirty years! ”

Zhao Lu was amused, "In my harem, although there are many women, there are not as many as three thousand. Do you think I am a king of mediocrity? Nostalgia for flowers? ”

Xia Yu pouted, "I don't dare to say that you are a faint king, Mr. Storyteller said it, but anyone who says a faint monarch has to lose his head." I'm quite happy with my head, you keep your mouth shut, let my head be around my neck for a few more years. ”

"It's rare for you to enter the palace, I have something for you." Zhao Lu took out the thing he had prepared earlier, which was a wooden crossbow model. It's small, but it's delicate and beautiful, "Do you like it?" ”

"You did it?" Xia Yu frowned, I didn't expect this Zhao Lu to have this ability? I heard from the common people that the emperor specialized in wood work, and it seems to be true. Look at how elaborate this crossbow is, if it is made bigger, it will definitely be infinitely powerful.

Zhao Lu was proud, "You are natural." I made it for you, do you like it? ”

Xia Yu nodded, smiling like a crescent moon, "It's very good-looking." She thought, can she let the emperor stamp a seal or something, if Zhao Laojiu changes the hexagram in the future, she can still eat this bastard. Anyway, it was given by the emperor, and it was also a national treasure. If you meet someone who knows the goods, you can also make a good price!

Worthwhile! What a bargain!

Xia Yu watched it with relish, Zhao Lu thought that Xia Yu also had research, and hurriedly asked, "What, what's not good?" ”

"No, no." Xia Yu came back to his senses and leaned in with a smile, "Big brother, you said that you did this, did you really give it to me?" ”

Zhao Lu nodded, "Do you still have a fake?" I am the emperor, the emperor is a man of his word, and you have no jokes. ”

"Then do you have a seal or something, stamp it for me, otherwise people will not believe that the emperor sent it to me when they ask." Xia Yu came up in vain, smiling so much that his heart warmed.

Money!

But it's all money!

Zhao Lu took out the private seal from the table, "What's so difficult about this!" He quickly stamped the crossbow, "How's that?" ”

Xia Yu pounded his head like garlic, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Okay, okay, then I'll take it." Without saying a word, he put it back in the box and held it in his arms, this is a treasure, and he can still use it as an heirloom in the future.

"By the way, you entered the palace today, but you came to find me?" Zhao Lu pulled Xia Yu to sit down, "It's unfortunate that you came, the second brother just left not long ago, do you want me to let him stay, and then the three of us brothers have a good drink?" ”

Xia Yu shook his head again and again, "No, no, I came today to ask for something." ”

Zhao Lu was stunned, "What, Uncle Huang bullied you?" ”

"Nope." Xia Yu said, "I want to borrow the emperor's Wenhua Hall to check some things." ”

"What are you looking for?" Zhao Lu frowned.

Xia Yu pursed her lips and thought about it, then she lowered her voice and said, "Sea silk." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Lu frowned slightly, "Sea silk? ”

"Yes." Xia Yu nodded, "I want to know, what the hell is this." Big brother, you'll help me, won't you? Seeing that Zhao Lu began to hesitate, Xia Yu immediately smiled and said, "Big brother is the best, the most righteous, what our three brothers said at the beginning is all based on heaven and earth." How about a good drink if you don't get drunk? ”

Zhao Lu sighed lightly, "Shunzi, go to Wenhua Palace." ”

Xia Yu smiled, "Big brother is so good!" ”

"You!" Zhao Lu smiled lightly, "Okay, I'll accompany you on a trip." ”
