Zhao Chuyao nodded, "Yes." ”

Queen Yu asked tentatively, "Do you have a sweetheart?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyao stared at her beautiful eyes, but she never thought that the queen would ask this matter so bluntly, and she suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Her sweetheart......

"Queen Mother, Prince Ping has arrived." Outside the hall, there was a sudden report from the palace maid.

As soon as Zhao Chuyao heard that Prince Shiping had arrived, he stood up calmly, and when he looked at a tall figure at the door of the main hall, he saluted, "Chu Yao has seen the prince." ”

"Hmm." When Murong Xi saw Zhao Chuyao when he saw the hall, he didn't react much, but after a closer look, his brows furrowed slightly.

"The son has seen the queen mother." His voice was faint, and he couldn't hear the good or bad emotions.

"Xi'er, you're here." Queen Yu stepped forward and took her son's hand, "This palace is announcing that Chu Yao came over to talk about it, you came just right, you also hugged Chu Yao who was a baby when you were young, do you remember?" ”

Murong Xi glanced at her queen mother and knew what she was thinking, "Erchen is just a child, and he has no impression. ”

"Niangniang, you asked Concubine Shu to enjoy flowers and tea, the time is almost up." Mama Jiang on the side suddenly reminded.

When Queen Yu heard this, she said with a little surprise: "Yes, the palace made an appointment with Concubine Shu to taste tea yesterday, but today Chu Yao was announced into the palace, this is ......"

Mama Jiang immediately chimed in: "Queen Mother, the slave maid thinks that since Prince Ping happened to come over, let Prince Ping take Miss Zhao to the palace for a walk?" ”

"Good idea." When Empress Yu heard this, she stepped forward and took Zhao Chuyao's hand, "If you don't mind, let Xi'er take you for a walk around the palace, what do you think?" ”

"Everything is according to the mother's wishes." At this time, how dare she say that she minds.

But......

She glanced at the man in the hall with her spare eyes, and saw that his handsome face still had no expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart.

Fortunately, Murong Xi did not refuse, but glanced at her lightly, then looked at Queen Yu, and said in a cold voice: "The relationship between the queen mother and Concubine Shu is really good. ”

This sentence is definitely a mockery.

Queen Yu heard it, opened her mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, seeing him turn around and go directly out of Fengyan Palace, she urged Zhao Chuyao and said, "Chu Yao follow, Xi'er agreed." ”

Zhao Chuyao had some doubts in her heart, looking at the conversation between Queen Yu and Murong Xi, she seemed to be able to feel that the relationship between the two mother and son was not very good.

But she didn't think much of it, and turned and followed.

……

The two walked in the garden of the harem, silent along the way.

Murong Xi was originally a person who didn't talk much, and he didn't mean anything to Zhao Chuyao at all, so he wouldn't take the initiative to talk to her to please her.

As for the queen mother's arrangement, he knew her intentions.

For the position of crown prince, he is bound to win. But he wanted to use his talents to gain the appreciation of his father, not to get the crown prince through a woman......

Once he also thought that as long as Zhao Chuyao loved him, then he would be closer and closer to the position of the crown prince.

But after going out with Zhao Chuyao once, he found that if he didn't like it, he didn't like it, and things that went against his mind really made him extremely unhappy.

And Zhao Chuyao saw that the man next to her had no intention of speaking for a long time, so she broke the silence and took the initiative to find the topic, "Prince Ping, what hobbies do you have on weekdays?" ”

Hobby?

Murong Xi glanced at her sideways, and didn't want to answer more questions about this question, so he asked indifferently: "Miss Zhao, what hobbies do you have on weekdays?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Chuyao didn't expect him to ask himself in turn, stared at a pair of beautiful eyes, and then two red clouds appeared on his face, and he lowered his head, "I don't have any special hobbies, but I heard that Prince Ping is good at martial arts, Chu Yao has been weak since he was a child, and he wants to practice martial arts and fitness, but his father doesn't agree." I wonder if Prince Ping has time to teach Chu Yao a few tricks? ”

When Murong Xi heard this, another face flashed through his mind, and his eyes were slightly gloomy, "If Prime Minister Zhao does not agree with Miss Zhao, you practice martial arts, if this king teaches in private, it will be against Prime Minister Zhao's original intention, which is probably inappropriate." ”

"If that's the case, can't you just let my dad know?" Zhao Chuyao gently hooked her lips and smiled.

The smile added a few more wisps of mischievousness, and Murong Xi's eyes sank slightly.

……

However, the scene of the interaction between the two fell into the eyes of the missing pearl who took Jinxia to the garden for a walk to relieve boredom, looking at the picture of the two of them talking and laughing, the missing pearl seemed to have overturned the five miscellaneous Chen in his heart, and he couldn't tell the taste in his heart. He turned around and left the garden with Jinxia.

Jin Xia also saw Murong Xi together, and wondered about his master's reaction, "Princess, Prince Ping has entered the palace, don't you go and say hello to him?" ”

If it was left in the past, her princess would have been eager to pull Prince Ping to prevent him from leaving the palace, why did she leave without even saying hello today?

"Didn't you see that the atmosphere between people and Prime Minister Zhao Cheng's daughter was good? What are we bothering about? "Isn't it better now? It was impossible for her to be with him, and if he and Miss Zhao could get together, maybe they wouldn't think about their own affairs anymore.

That's right......

Jin Xia twisted her eyebrows, she always felt that her master's words were a little strange, but she couldn't say what was wrong, so she couldn't tell her master expressionless, so she didn't ask any more questions, and followed her out of the garden.

*******************************************************************************

There was no news about the search for the prince of Chuxi Kingdom, and Murong Xi knew that they had already left the Qianmu Kingdom. At this time, I can only look for it on the way to Chuxi.

And in this matter, Murong Sheng reprimanded him.

Murong Xi looked at the books on the table, and a pink and jade face appeared in his mind, which made his eyes slightly deeper.

"Recently, what's the movement at the other end of the Yuehua Palace?" Putting aside the finished book, Murong Xi raised his eyes and glanced at the light breeze standing beside him, and asked lightly.

Hearing this, Qingfeng truthfully told the news given to him by his subordinates: "Master, the princess has been wandering around the palace lately, and she will obediently stay in the palace after nightfall, and she will be very peaceful. ”

He knew that in the past half a month, his master had not seen Princess Yizhu again, and Princess Zhuzhu didn't seem to have any plans to leave the palace and come to the house in peace.

And the two did not have any correspondence, as if they had broken off contact. However, the monthly palace banquet is about to begin, and this time he can go and inform the person who arranged the palace banquet to arrange for the princess to sit with the master.

"Anfen ......" chewed these two words lightly, Murong Xi's slender hands clasped together, his left hand turned the white jade finger of his right thumb, and his cold black eyes sank.

Is it? She probably won't want to see herself again, so she would rather not leave the palace and stay in the palace peacefully, rather than propose to her father that she would go to Prince Ping's mansion to live for a while, after all, she was already very afraid of what happened that night.

Hooked his lips, his face as white as jade showed a helpless smile, Murong Xi stood up suddenly, just raised his foot, stopped again, and asked the breeze behind him, "Where is she now?" ”

"She......" The breeze was stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly, the one in the master's mouth she refers to the princess of the pearl, "Look at the hour, it should be in the back garden of the palace." ”

Light Breeze glanced up at the door, then replied.

Murong Xi waved his sleeves and walked towards the door, "Continue to send someone to observe her secretly." ”

Looking at the back of the long and domineering and inviolable one, the breeze responded: "Yes." ”

A few days ago, since Princess Lost Pearl often went to the Bright Moon Palace, he could feel the changes in his master, such as a lot of smiles, and there was always a smile in his eyes, anyway, when it came to Princess Lost Pearl, the master's mood was always good, but recently he had changed back to the indifferent and expressionless Seven Princes before.

Qingfeng has never liked anyone, so he naturally doesn't understand what this love and love is like, but he can clearly feel that since the appearance of the princess of the lost pearl, the master's mood has gradually become weird. In the past, he always had no expression other than a sneer. But after the pearl appears, the master will be angry and will laugh so hard to see. But it's not the same indifferent smile as it used to be.

However, Princess Yizhu is the royal sister of the master, and the master's liking should be the love of his relatives......

……

In the Chaoxia Palace, the pearl looked at the palace that seemed to be abandoned for a long time, turned his head and asked Jinxia beside him, "Who lives in this palace?" Why does it look like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time? ”

Jin Xia raised her eyes and frowned at the three words of Chaoxia Palace, her body couldn't help but tremble, seeing that the lost pearl wanted to go to the Chaoxia Palace, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the lost pearl, her voice trembled a little, "Princess, don't go." ”

"Why?" Yizhu looked back at Jinxia, looking at her small and delicate face with a hint of fear. Lost Pearl smiled, "What are you afraid of?" ”

"Princess, you don't know, this Chaoxia Palace is the bedroom of the fifth prince's mother, Concubine Lifei, I heard that ten years ago, after Concubine Lifei died of illness, the fifth prince was just a ten-year-old child, and he killed many minions who were responsible for Concubine Li's diet, and attacked Prince Ping...... "This matter, she heard other palace maids talk about it not long after she entered the palace.

"The Fifth Emperor Brother killed someone at the age of ten?" The delicate face of the missing pearl was slightly surprised, it is said that the fourth emperor brother and the fifth emperor brother are about to return to the palace. The impact of this incident on her was still a bit big.

"Yes, the fifth prince used to be a well-received prince in the court, but he ...... I heard that his mother was poisoned to death by the concubines of the harem, and the five princes had a very good relationship with Concubine Li at that time, and after knowing that their mother was killed, the five princes did not listen to other people's advice and did not even investigate the matter, and killed those slaves who had served Concubine Li overnight, and I heard that he also wanted to do something to the queen, Prince Ping wanted to protect his mother and was injured, and was saved by other concubines. When mentioning what those gossiping palace maids told him in the past, Jin Xia's petite body couldn't help but tremble. The five princes were really brutal, "Then, the emperor was so angry that he fell seriously ill, and after recovering from his illness, he decided to send all the princes out of the palace." ”

Listening, the lost pearl once again raised his eyes to look at the morning glow hall, the vermilion lacquer gate was gradually fading, and the door was covered with spider silk webs, which looked like a deserted dormitory.

It turned out that the palace change ten years ago was caused by the Five Emperor Brothers. If my father didn't punish the five emperor brothers at that time, you can imagine how important the five emperor brothers are in my father's heart, so if my father is unwilling to crown the seventh emperor brother as the crown prince, is he waiting for the five emperor brothers to return to the palace?

"Princess, let's go back quickly, the slave maid heard from other palace maids that this Chaoxia Palace has been haunted......" Jin Xia trembled and grabbed the sleeve of the missing pearl with her little hand.

Lost Pearl smiled, trying to reassure her......

"Princess." Suddenly, a guard appeared behind them and called them, "Prince Ping has come to the Yuehua Palace, and I have invited the princess to go back." ”
