After a short greeting, Yu Lanqing turned his attention to Zhou Yulang.

She didn't drink the teacup while she was holding it, and a pair of eyes fell on Wei Zijue's face, looking at it with relish, and a smile was hooked at the corner of her mouth, as if she was looking at her own treasure.

Yu Lanqing looked at Zhou Yulang again, Wei Zijue listened to Emperor Zhou and Wei Zishan talking, he still has a lot to report on the affairs of the frontier, but at this time, the Emperor of the Great Zhou is here, and it is not easy to speak, but when the Emperor of the Great Zhou talks about the frontier, he will add the shortcomings.

As soon as he raised his eyes slightly, he saw Zhou Yulang smiling at him, and when he saw Wei Zijue looking over, Zhou Yulang smiled a little more brightly and confidently, which made Wei Zijue look inexplicable, and he was stared at like this by a beautiful girl, but he himself became shy, although his face was dark and he couldn't see anything, but Yu Lanqing smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he had already understood.

"You boy's family is talking about things, Princess Da Zhou naturally feels bored, why don't you go to the harem with the mourning family, see the queen later, and come here to eat at dinner." Yu Lanqing handed her hand to Yue Ying, and stood up between the words of several people, she glanced at Zhou Yulang and spoke softly.

Wei Zishan and Emperor Da Zhou both felt very good, nodded and said yes, Wei Zijue also felt relieved, lest Zhou Yulang keep staring at him like this, and he himself felt uncomfortable.

Zhou Yulang opened his mouth to speak, bumped into Yu Lanqing's eyes, saw her smiling, I don't know why, when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't speak, Yu Lanqing stretched out her hand and pulled her: "The mourning family sees that the princess is kind, and the daughter of the mourning family is about the same age, if the princess doesn't mind, accompany the mourning family." ”

Zhou Yulang subconsciously took Yu Lanqing's hand, Yu Lanqing's eyes and smile were too gentle, people couldn't help but fall into it, and when she walked towards the harem with Yu Lanqing, she let go of Yu Lanqing's hand and slowly followed beside her.

She is a noisy person, she didn't live in peace for a while, Yu Lanqing saw it in her eyes, and wanted to come and see Wei Yunsi, the two of them could play together, at this time Zhou Yulang followed Yu Lanqing's side, but it was a lot quieter, as if Yu Lanqing himself had the magic power to calm people's minds.

After walking for a while, Zhou Yulang relaxed a little and said softly: "Queen Mother, where are we going?" ”

"Go to the Sunset Palace."

Yu Lanqing responded, and then added, "There are no concubines entering the palace yet, and all palace rooms have begun to be cleaned up, preparing to welcome the new concubines to move in. ”

Zhou Yulang blinked his eyes and looked at Yu Lanqing's side face, obviously not reacting for a while.

Feeling her gaze, Yu Lanqing turned her head slightly, looking at her ignorant appearance and cuteness, her eyes were bright and beautiful, and she simply said clearly: "Concubine Shu lives in Luoyang Palace, do you want to see where your aunt has lived when you come this time?" ”

Speaking of Zhou Zhixi, Zhou Yulang really immediately realized, she raised her eyes to look ahead, then retracted her eyes to look at Yu Lanqing, and nodded emphatically: "I think." ”

She thought that she had to bring it up herself, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the queen mother's attitude towards those concubines was actually not very friendly, although the queen mother was also virtuous, but if she didn't have the slightest displeasure in her heart for those jealous concubines, it was impossible, Zhou Yulang pondered that she had to speak tactfully to test Yu Lanqing's attitude first, but she didn't expect Yu Lanqing to bring it up herself, and she had already decided from knowing that they were coming.

What is the queen mother in front of her who is as calm as water thinking in her heart, Zhou Yulang doesn't know, maybe it is really like what her father said, the Empress Dowager Wei is a person with great righteousness in her bones, she doesn't hate these women, she feels pitiful and pathetic for herself and them, she is just lucky, the one who got the heart of Emperor Wei Xian.

Now that Emperor Wei Xiandi is gone, the past is no longer important in the heart of Empress Dowager Wei.

"Queen Mother." Zhou Yulang couldn't help but stop her, but when Yu Lan looked at her with a side face, she didn't know what to say, she hesitated for a while, and dodged her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Yu Lanqing paused for a moment, asked casually, knowing that Zhou Yulang would definitely not be able to answer, raised his hand and pointed to the corner in front of him: "It's here." ”

Zhou Yulang followed closely and walked a few steps forward, looked in the direction of her finger, and saw the plaque of Luoyang Palace.

The palace is still spotlessly cleaned, because there are no concubines in the harem now, so it is extremely deserted, and the wind blowing through the hall is also a little chilly on the body.

Zhou Yulang walked over in advance, and when he stood in front of the palace gate, he found that the plaque was in a very high place, and the imperial city wall of the Great Wei was higher than that of the Great Zhou, which looked a little oppressive.

"Go in and have a look." When Yu Lanqing walked past Zhou Yulang's side, he naturally grabbed her, and the two went in together, after Zhou Zhixi passed away, it was cleaned again, and many of the things she had when she was there had been moved, so it looked more empty.

Luoyang Palace is very magnificent, Zhou Yulang lowered his eyes, the big water tank used to raise fish in the yard was a little lighter, and he couldn't see anything next to it.

Yu Lanqing still remembered the courtyard where Zhou Zhixi lived, and led Zhou Yulang to walk in with a familiar car, and when she met a few palace maids, she stretched out her hand to push open the door, but the furnishings in the house had not moved.

It's just that Zhou Zhixi died of illness, and the bed and daily utensils were burned and buried.

Zhou Yulang stepped into the house, and the places he touched were spotless, which showed that someone came to clean it carefully every day.

The furnishings inside look gorgeous, but because no one has lived in it for a long time, there is a strange sense of age.

Obviously, not many years have passed.

Yu Lanqing sat down on a stool near the door, and let Zhou Yulang slowly stroll around the room alone.

From the outer hall to the inner bed, Zhou Yulang really found it difficult to see any traces of her aunt's life from these cold objects, she stayed inside for a while and then came out, walked to Yu Lanqing and sat down, was silent for a while, and said softly: "My father always misses my aunt very much." ”

Yu Lanqing lowered his eyes: "Emperor Wei has always been the most distressed concubine. ”

Zhou Yulang pursed his lips and carefully raised his eyebrows: "The imperial brother said that my aunt has been lonely all her life and cannot be loved, all because of the Queen Mother." ”

She was blunt, and she really wanted to hear what Yu Lanqing would say, she thought that Yu Lanqing would have no reaction, Yu Lanqing just glanced at her lightly, as if she was looking at her, and as if she saw the old man through Zhou Yulang, she took a deep breath and bowed her head slightly: "Women in the world are looking forward to love and gain, and they don't share it with others, but that period of the past, Yu Ai's family is lucky, Yu Shufei is unlucky, no one is wrong." ”

Zhou Yulang couldn't quite understand the emotion in Yu Lanqing's words, she was still too young, she hadn't experienced this, and most of her feelings for Zhou Zhixi came from her father's mourning, she didn't have so much prejudice against Yu Lanqing, after all, she didn't know Zhou Canghong's thoughts about Yu Lanqing, she just felt sorry for her aunt, if it was her, if it wasn't for the man's deep love and must take her home, she should not leave Da Zhou.

She... doesn't have the courage of my aunt, for a man to leave his relatives and go to a helpless place, not to mention, when my aunt followed Emperor Wei Xiandi, Emperor Wei Xiandi didn't have her in her heart at all, my aunt was completely gambling with herself, but unfortunately, she made a mistake, but Zhou Yulang is not a person who likes to gamble, she prefers to do things that she is sure of, so in addition to thinking that her aunt is brave, in fact, she feels that her aunt is too impulsive.

After Yu Lanqing said this, she saw Zhou Yulang blinking and looking at herself, she was more innocent than Zhou Yulang who came to Dawei back then, she was lively but not domineering, Zhou Zhixi back then, but she was arrogant and domineering.

"You're a lot like your aunt." Yu Lanqing refers to that kind of proud temperament, which seems to be an aura that belongs exclusively to their princess of Da Zhou, which makes people feel very similar at a glance, "but it is not particularly similar." ”

Zhou Yulang is warmer than Zhou Zhixi, without such sharp edges and corners, and in getting along with people, it will not make people feel extraordinarily sharp.

Maybe this is related to the environment in which the two grew up, Zhou Zhixi and Zhou Canghong were born in the courtiers, when the Great Zhou was defeated, the father and the queen died early, she was spoiled by Zhou Canghong in the harem alone, so her temperament is extraordinarily strong, but Zhou Yulang grew up under the care of his father and queen mother and the current Emperor of the Great Zhou, and will be more willing to rely on others.

If Zhou Zhixi hadn't been so strong back then, maybe... will also have a child of his own, but it's a pity that the past has passed.

"I've seen my aunt's portrait, but it doesn't look like it." Zhou Yulang retorted, "I am more like my mother, and my brother is more like my father." ”

Yu Lanqing smiled, and then stood up: "There is actually nothing new in the palace, and the palace of the Great Zhou is not much different from here, the mourning family has a little daughter, just in the capital, your royal brother and the emperor have important matters to discuss, if you feel that the palace is boring, the mourning family can let her accompany you around." ”

Zhou Yulang suddenly became interested: "What about King Jing?" Do you want to deliberate about things? ”

As soon as Yu Lanqing heard her mention Wei Zijue, her guess became more convinced, and she said with a smile: "That's not necessary, the negotiation between the emperors, he is just a courtier, and if he wants to report his affairs tomorrow, he will rest in Beijing." ”

"That... The youngest daughter of the Queen Mother, and King Jing should be brothers and sisters, right? Zhou Yulang's eyes narrowed with a smile, "I am familiar with King Jing, and thanks to King Jing's care along the way, I am afraid that the little princess of the Queen Mother will be embarrassed by each other, can I let King Jing accompany me around the capital?" First, it is good to know each other with the little princess, it is embarrassing to have someone everyone knows, and secondly, it can also ensure safety, and my imperial brother is also relieved. ”

Her eyes were full of stars, and her face was full of thoughts about wanting Wei Zijue to play with her, she really couldn't hide it at all, and her daughter's arrogance and shyness didn't even show half of it.

Yu Lanqing was amused by her: "If you think it's good, Zijue doesn't have any other errands, it's naturally good." ”

Zhou Yulang cheered, and then saw Yu Lanqing and Yue Ying staring at him, realizing that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly restrained some smiles and stood up, but a person's joy, even if he controlled his hands, feet and mouth, his eyes could not be deceived.

This girl... It's Wei Zijue's heart.

It's okay, as long as it's not the emperor's family, it's all good, once you step into this imperial city, no matter how innocent a woman is, she will be consumed by endless years.

When leaving Luoyang Palace, Zhou Yulang glanced back again, Emperor Zhou couldn't come to the harem, so it was the same when she came, she kept the scene in front of her in mind, and when she went back, she wanted to share it with her brother and father.

She'd seen the place where her aunt lived.

It's a very gorgeous but very deserted palace.

Auntie, she must have been very lonely before, but now her ashes are in Da Zhou, in the palace specially built for her by her father, she was lonely during her lifetime, and at this time she has fallen leaves and returned to her roots, and her soul has returned to her hometown, and her aunt should have done her filial piety by the side of her grandfather and grandmother, and she is no longer lonely and lonely.

Because this palace is just a prison cage for her.

Zhou Yulang will tell them clearly:

My aunt has already gone home, she must have gone home with a smile, because this Luoyang Palace has never been her home.

And Zhou Yulang also knows that the inner courtyard of the palace will never be her choice and destination.

What she wants is just a couple for a lifetime, and if she can't ask for it, it's better not to ask for it.
