Chen Ying thought about it, and still said truthfully: "Today, because I want to come to see the Queen Mother, my grandmother asked me to prepare breakfast early. It's not usually used at this time. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao was silent for a while, and lazily commented: "You kid, why are you so uninteresting." ”

The corners of Chen Ying's lowered mouth twisted.

She never thought honesty was a bad quality, but Empress Dowager Xiao obviously didn't agree with that.

"Set the table." Empress Dowager Xiao dropped these words and got up to leave.

Chen Ying didn't see her back with her own eyes, but the obviously no longer oppressive atmosphere in the hall, as well as the rustling sound of her skirt on the floor, still told her that Empress Dowager Xiao had left and gone to breakfast.

Without a word of explanation, Chen Ying was hung in the main hall.

Chen Ying maintained a standing posture, setting up a longbow and feather arrows in his mind.

It's also a good idea to practice with your mind, at least not to waste a lot of time.

As for standing, it wasn't difficult, she would stand like this every day for a long time, and she had long been used to it.

The morning breeze brings the unique smell of summer. There was a little palace maid who walked quietly, and extinguished the lanterns one by one.

The sky was already bright, and the open door of the temple was behind Chen Ying, and the sunlight was penetrating into this deep temple little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this stop, Chen Ying stood for more than an hour.

During this period, no one came to say a word to her, and there was no indication that Empress Dowager Xiao would come back, and even the little palace maids who turned off the lights never appeared again.

In the empty hall, Chen Ying was the only one.

However, Chen Ying was not in a hurry at all.

Her patience has always been good, after all, writing big characters and practicing arrows require being able to calm down.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Chen Ying gradually began to believe that Empress Dowager Xiao's punishment might be like this.

Hang people for two or three hours or even longer, give them a shameless, and then talk about it to the outside world, and embarrass the Guogong Mansion for a few days.

If it was more than such a punishment, Chen Ying felt that it was necessary for her to reconsider her position on the Empress Dowager Xiao.

However, just as she was thinking like this, a very low voice suddenly came from behind her: "Miss Chen San, the Queen Mother invites you to come over." ”

Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth twisted a strange angle.

When she turned around, she saw a palace maid wearing a crimson bikini standing by the door, combing her uniform hairstyle in the palace, perhaps because she was far away, and her face was a little blurred.

"Did the Queen Mother summon me?" Chen Ying asked.

The palace maid curtled her knees: "Yes, Miss Chensan." The Queen Mother instructed the girl to go on a trip. ”

Her voice, like her people, was a little indistinct.

Chen Ying looked at her for a moment and asked, "Where does the Queen Mother want me to go?" ”

The palace maid continued to bend her knees, and her voice became more and more indistinct: "The girl just follow the slave and maid." ”

Chen Ying nodded, and the corners of her mouth twisted: "What is this aunt's name?" ”

"Slave Zheng Chaozhu, I have seen Miss Chen San." The palace maid replied.

The corners of Chen Ying's mouth twisted again: "It turned out to be Aunt Zheng." ”

This Zheng Chaozhu is only in her twenties, but she didn't expect it to be a dynasty character, it seems that her master must be quite senior.

Chen Ying didn't say anything more and followed Zheng Chaozhu out.

The sun had already jumped up on the roof, shining on the body quite warmly, and the sky was blue, with a few clouds floating.

It was really nice weather.

Chen Ying took a deep breath as she walked.

The air is clear and humid, and the grass and trees are fragrant in the summer breeze.

It wasn't until she came out that Chen Ying knew that Changle Palace was so big.

She looked around as she walked, and couldn't help but admire in her heart.

In the oral description of Mrs. Xu and Xu's family, although Changle Palace is large, it does not allow Chen Ying to have an intuitive feeling, and now that he is in it, he can deeply appreciate its grandeur.

In front of you is a continuous group of buildings, overlapping houses make people unable to see the end at a glance, glazed tiles shining in the bright sun, vermilion lacquer columns, dark lacquer doors, and high walls stacked of blue bricks, these colors combine to create a solemn and solemn world, which makes people feel a strong sense of awe.

Chen Ying followed Zheng Chaozhu down the stage and stepped on a straight bluestone road, along the way Zheng Chaozhu didn't say a word, only buried his head in walking.

Chen Ying didn't speak, but there was no quiet moment in her mind, calculating the distance, estimating the direction, and guessing what might happen next.

After about a quarter of an hour, she sensed something was wrong.

Although there are many buildings in Changle Palace, it should not be so large.

According to Chen Ying's estimate, they should have walked out of the scope of Changle Palace long ago before half a cup of tea. But at this moment, in front of her is a very large garden, with summer flowers in full bloom, lush green trees, and rockeries and pavilions not far away.

She looked far away, but saw that at the end of the pavilion, a moon cave door was faintly exposed, and the two vermilion lacquer doors were hidden in the void, and she couldn't see the situation inside.

Chen Ying's heart was full of alarm bells.

They had already left Changle Palace, but Zheng Chaozhu didn't have a word of explanation, and he still buried his head forward.

What's even stranger is that they didn't meet anyone along the way.

Outside the scope of Changle Palace, no matter what happened to Chen Ying, the Queen Mother wanted to shirk, and there was no need for a reason at all.

It didn't happen in her palace, so she naturally didn't have to be responsible.

So, behind these two vermilion lacquer doors, whose territory is it?

Who will be the one who is responsible for this, and who must bear the wrath of the government?

Chen Ying hesitated for a while.

In this half of the time, Empress Dowager Xiao's words and deeds flew through her mind, along with the few specious legends she had heard.

Then, Chen Ying reached out and untied his belt.

In the face of known conspiracy, she could not have been unprepared.

Today, she wore a six-panel Hunan skirt that was easy to run, and the material of the skirt was very light and would not form resistance in the wind. In addition, the skirt was designed to be wider at the waist than a normal skirt, allowing her to discreetly tie two belts, a dark green leno belt on the outside, and a thinner, but more resilient, ribbon of the same color hidden inside. The two belts are similar in color, and you can't tell them apart if you don't look closely.

What Chen Ying pulled out was the brocade belt underneath.

This brocade belt is extremely long, Chen Ying overlaps and coils it, only wrapping it around her waist for a turn, and it is extremely easy to untie it.

She grabbed the ends of her belt tightly, took a big step forward, and wrapped her head around Zheng Chaozhu's neck.

Zheng Chaozhu was caught by the neck unexpectedly, his steps staggered, and his body leaned back uncontrollably. Strangely, she didn't exclaim, she struggled silently.

Chen Ying affirmed her judgment more and more, her hands flew up and down, and she circled Zheng Chaozhu several times at a very fast speed, and after a few breaths, she tied her up firmly, and then dragged her into the cave of the mountain and rocks that she had already seen.
