Originally, under the arrangement of Empress Dowager Xiao, there were no witnesses to this incident from beginning to end, so she also had the excuse that "the mourning family didn't know about it at all", which was to more thoroughly push the blame on the person behind the Zhu Qi door.

This arrangement is not inappropriate, but on the contrary, it also gave Chen Ying the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Since Empress Dowager Xiao has never given an order, Chen Ying can't talk about disobedience. If Zheng Chaozhu was a little smarter, the person who suffered a dumb loss would become the queen mother.

It is impossible for Empress Dowager Xiao to personally order Chen Ying to enter the two false vermilion lacquer doors, and the person who can become Empress Dowager Xiao's opponent must not be simple, Empress Dowager Xiao will not be so naïve.

As a result, this mortal situation was easily broken here by Chen Ying.

As long as you let go of the fear of imperial power, everything will be solved.

As Chen Ying walked, she looked up at the surrounding scenery, and suddenly felt that something was shaking in front of her.

She stared down and looked closely, and saw eight pheasant tail fans waving in the wind in the distance, and many colorful and brilliant phoenix flags, which were slowly moving in this direction.

It's actually the queen's guard of honor!

Queen Situ actually came to Changle Palace?

Chen Ying's heart was suddenly relieved, but her steps sped up a lot, and she strode to the bottom of the platform in front of the main hall, bowed her head and stood still, waiting for the queen's mother.

Empress Situ has always been very friendly to the Guogong Mansion, and with her, today's matter should be over soon.

After half a cup of tea, sure enough, the queen's Luan appeared on the edge of the platform.

As she expected, as soon as she saw that the three girls in the Guogong Mansion had not left, Queen Situ ordered the honor guard to stop, and then she stepped down and came in steps.

"You're Miss Chen San." When she was still a few steps away from Chen Ying, Empress Situ said, her voice was soft and soft, a little more cordial than that of Empress Dowager Xiao.

"The three daughters of the Chen family in the Chengguo Mansion have seen the queen's mother." Chen Ying lowered her head and replied.

Empress Situ laughed and stepped forward to take her hand.

Her fingers were soft and warm, and when she touched Chen Ying, she had a little strength, which made her even more amiable.

"Bengu thought you were gone, I didn't want you to be there." The queen said with a smile, very kindly took Chen Ying, and took her to Taiji together.

Several palace maids at the door had already greeted them, respectfully leading the way in front, and the others should have gone to deliver the message, and after walking a few steps to the door, Chen Ying heard the slightly hoarse laughter of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

"How did you two get together?" Entering the hall, Empress Dowager Xiao stepped off the throne with a smile and helped up the saluting queen, and the laughter was like a breeze blowing the treetops, rustling: "The mourning family is old this year, and they love to forget things, but it was not until they remembered that there was a little girl waiting in the hall." When the mourning family came back, they were still wondering why this little girl disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was about to be looked for, but it happened that you came. ”

Her tone was very natural, as if she didn't know that Chen Ying was called out by Zheng Chaozhu.

There was a smile on Chen Ying's lowered face, a very faint kind.

"Sit down, and the three girls sit too." Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and ordered someone to give a seat.

Chen Ying is considered to have been stained with the light of Queen Situ, and was fortunate to get a small gold lacquer pestle, although it is not comfortable to sit on a hard erect, but for an unemployed girl, this is already a great gift.

Chen Ying bent down to sit down, Empress Dowager Xiao only waved her hand, and then sat down with Queen Situ to talk, chatting about some common things, which made people drowsy.

About half a moment later, Empress Situ coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, Erchen wants to tell you something." ”

Her voice was still very gentle, but Chen Ying heard a little anxiety from it.

"What are you going to say?" Empress Dowager Xiao's voice began to drag on again, and Chen Ying felt that she glanced in her direction, and there was no trace of emotion in her cold eyes: "Someone should run in front of you and talk nonsense." ”

Chen Ying felt that Empress Dowager Xiao was a little angry.

Chen Ying came back intact, and then Empress Situ appeared again, and her Empress Dowager would definitely think that this was the Guogong Mansion prepared in advance.

Chen Ying also thinks so.

"Where does the queen mother say, the sons can be quiet today." Empress Situ said with a smile.

Chen Ying and Empress Dowager Xiao were stunned at the same time.

"What the retainer wants to say has nothing to do with the outside, it is the matter of our palace." Situ Huang continued, and his tone was a little more anxious.

Empress Dowager Xiao paused for a moment, smiled suddenly, and turned her eyes to look at Chen Ying: "The mourning family remembers that there are a few cranes in the imperial garden, which are quite beautiful. Yuxiu, you accompany the three girls to take a look. ”

A palace maid in her thirties, who was about thirty years old, walked out, answered yes, and stretched out her hand to Chen Ying and made a gesture of invitation: "Third Miss Chen, please come with the slave maid." ”

Chen Ying was extremely helpless, but she could only get up according to her words.

Empress Dowager Xiao has made up her mind not to let go, and there must be some grinding for a while.

Fortunately, it was not early at this moment, and she only had to stay up until noon, and Empress Dowager Xiao had to let Chen Ying out of the palace in accordance with the palace rules.

This is also the ancestral system of the Great Chu Dynasty, all outsiders enter the palace, all follow the rules of "early but noon, noon but not Shen", enter the palace in the morning must go out of the palace before noon, enter the palace in the afternoon must go out of the palace before Shen Zheng, even the emperor can not violate, not to mention the queen mother?

Chen Ying thanked him and walked out of the hall with Hou Yuxiu.

Outside the main hall, the sun is more brilliant than the square, shining on the body is slightly hot, the wide palace road on both sides of the willows are clinging, and the slender willows move lightly with the wind, like a dance.

This time, they took the road where Chen Ying entered Changle Palace, and they met a lot of people along the way, including a little eunuch wearing an ochre yellow cloth robe, and a steward dressed in brocade, most of the palace maids wore crimson dresses, and only a few female officials wore green robes.

Chen Ying was convinced that Empress Dowager Xiao really wanted to invite her to watch cranes.

All the way to peace, Hou Yuxiu dutifully took her to the lake of the Imperial Garden, introducing that this place is called "Banpo Lake", which is named after the name of His Majesty the Emperor's imperial study "Banpo Zhai".

There were red-crowned cranes by the lake, two of them combing their feathers under the shade of the willows, and the other did not go far, waving their wings and flying slowly on the shore, their wide wings crossing the water, bringing ripples in circles.

"Miss Chen San, this is the Immortal Crane." Hou Yuxiu said introductively, and out of nowhere he found a small pocket, and respectfully put his hands together: "The girl can use this to feed, they are all loved by cranes." ”

Chen Ying waved her hand and smiled, turned her head to look at a small glazed tile hexagonal pavilion not far away, and said softly: "I want to go there and sit and blow the wind for a while, but I can make it." ”

"It's self-made." Hou Yuxiu immediately put away the small bag, led Chen Ying to turn to a path, climbed the steps, and soon came to the small pavilion.
