Even if the chess pieces are worth a lot of money, she can't afford to pay for it, her father Zheng Duo served as a waiter in the Ministry of Labor for those years, and he got more money from his office every year, the Zheng family is incompetent, only her two younger brothers are better, and now they are rushing for her and Yin Yao to be able to stand firm in the palace, and they will help her mother's family in the future, and they have never lost her money in this matter.

Seeing that she was a little disappreciative in her words, the crown princess aggravated her tone and said, "If it is enough to pay something, I won't look for you!"

"Do you know that this chess piece was originally presented to the emperor by the king of Goryeo, and the emperor lost to the king of Jingjiang in chess, so he gave him this chess piece. The emperor has been thinking about this in his heart, but Yao'er took this chess piece and presented it to the emperor in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of all the ministers, and the emperor reprimanded His Royal Highness fiercely! ”

Yin Yao's dedication to chess must have been to vote for the emperor's favor because of his words in the morning, but when he heard that the prince was involved, Concubine Zheng was a little embarrassed.

Now is the time for Yin Yao to establish an image in front of the emperor and the prince, and the prince, as Yin Yao's father, the future emperor must be much more important than the emperor's attitude.

"Sister forgive your sins!" Concubine Zheng knelt down, "My sister really doesn't know about this, and Yao'er must have done something wrong because she didn't know, and I ask my sister to spare him for the sake of Yao'er's filial piety!" ”

Concubine Zheng is not a passive person, in the two years that Yin Yu was deposed and left the palace, not only did she not be arrogant, but she and Yin Yao were in Fengqi Palace. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kneel down and ask the emperor to spare Yin Yu's life.

It is precisely because she is good at observing words and feelings, and can make some actions that reflect benevolence and righteousness on many key occasions, and Zheng Duo is good at acting according to the king's heart, so the emperor's impression of her and the Zheng family is still good, which is also her biggest capital so far. Because of this, the Zheng family did not suffer any harsh criticism this time. So although the crown princess can't get used to her, as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, she is helpless in the end.

The crown princess reprimanded: "You step back and be grounded for ten days!" Turning back, the prince will be punished again, and that's another matter. ”

Concubine Zheng retreated silently. The crown princess frowned and sighed. He waved his hand too.

Yin Zhao stood up, bowed and blessed himself, and then gave Xie Wan a look.

Xie Wan nodded, and also got up and said a blessing to the crown princess. Withdrew with Yin Zhao.

The two walked towards the Qixia Hall where Yin Zhao lived. Yin Zhao said: "Father is definitely coming over." Sister-in-law and Xu'er go to my temple to sit down. ”

Xie Wan didn't want to. turned around and asked the maid Huanyue next to him to inform Mama Xia and them.

On the way, she thought for a while and said, "Your Highness won't blame the concubine, right?" "After all, the crown princess is the master of the East Palace, if Yin Yao made a mistake. She may also be jointly and severally liable, but she doesn't want Yin Yao's mistake to make the crown princess bear the consequences.

Yin Zhao turned his head, looked at her deeply for a while, played with a small piece of pine branch that he folded easily, and said, "Does sister-in-law care about the concubine?" ”

Xie Wan looked back at her and nodded. There's nothing that can't be admitted, it's just that Yin Zhao misunderstood her flattering the crown princess, and being a daughter-in-law flattering her mother-in-law, isn't it normal? Moreover, she was sincere.

The corners of Yin Zhao's lips hooked and he smiled, "No, my father treats my mother well." It's so good that sometimes I can't even plug it in, so you think I'm like an ornament in the East Palace, and if it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother was pinned on so much hope since he was a child, I think it would be like this. At the end, her smile was happy.

Xie Wan couldn't figure out her mind for a while, so he could only say ambiguously: "It's really enviable." ”

"Envy what?" Yin Zhao stopped laughing, his eyes darkened again, "They work too hard. ”

Xie Wan was stunned.

Yin Zhao walked along the corridor and said, "Can't you see that the eldest brother was abolished?" The emperor didn't want his eldest brother to be his grandson, because of the Huo family. She stopped and waited for her, "You're Xu'er's mother, that's why I'm telling you." Never treat the palace as your home, because my father and mother tried to change it, but they failed. ”

Xie Wan looked at this person who was only fifteen years old, the real golden branches and jade leaves in the eyes of ordinary people, and was surprised by her calmness and maturity.

"As the crown prince and princess, there are also things they can't do and people they can't protect, because they still have the emperor above their heads. And even the Son of Heaven has their helplessness, because they still have God above their heads. ”

Yin Zhao looked at her at eye level, and his gaze was as deep as the ancient well and secluded pool.

The palace is really a cultivator, even a teenage girl sees things so thoroughly, Xie Wan can no longer treat her as a child.

"Is it because they love very hard that you let yourself retreat away and treat yourself as an ornament?" She asked.

Yin Zhao looked at her silently.

Xie Wan raised his lips, precocious people usually have a harder time than others, and Yin Zhao in front of him is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

But no matter what, she finally confirmed from her that the emperor was unwilling to make Yin Yu the grandson, and also confirmed that the emperor was indeed suspicious of the Huo family.

And the current situation is that the crown prince and the crown princess want to protect Yin Yu and give him what belongs to him, but they are powerless, Xie Wan doesn't know what the prince has done for Yin Yu, but at least they can see that whenever they look at Yin Yu, their eyes are the most sincere eyes that all parents in the world have.

Mama Xia quickly hugged Yin Xu, Yin Xu opened her hands to Xie Wan to hug, Yin Zhao opened his hand to him, and he giggled and threw himself into Yin Zhao's arms.

This kid doesn't recognize life and doesn't have stage fright.

There is only one princess in the East Palace, so Qixia Hall let Yin Zhao live alone, in addition to the potted plants in the courtyard, there is also a room full of strange things.

"I went to the Western goods store to find it myself," Yin Zhao picked up a folding fan with a picture of an Oriental lady and handed it to Yin Xu, saying: "I often sneak out of the palace in microclothes, when you live in Durian Hutong, I passed by your door several times, when you had a big belly, I also saw you." You can't think of it, right? She laughed nonchalantly.

She looks very similar to Yin Yu, and when she stands sideways to the window like this, the snow light outside the window illuminates half of her face, reflecting her more and more brightly. She grew up in the splendid pile, but she didn't have the appearance of a little daughter, and her gestures were full of open-mindedness. And her smile is always a little cold, like a cloud in the sky, comfortable and lonely.

"I also met the prince of Lu Guo outside, and there were many people on the street that day, and he stepped on my shoes behind me, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and then he wanted to help me put them on. Do you think he's stupid? ”

Yin Zhao said with a smile, "Later, I blackmailed him ten taels of silver, and the twenty taels of silver were his food expenses in the Guozijian for half a month, and Lu Guogong was very strict with him, and he didn't make up for him if he lost the money, so he was hungry for ten days for lunch." Or did I ask Cui Fu to go and give him twenty taels of silver in the name of his good behavior, and he happily bought food again. ”

Xie Wan also laughed, "Did he know later?" ”

"I don't know." Yin Zhao shook his head, "Later, I met him on the street a few times under the pretext of excuses, he was still so stupid, what I said he believed, I said that he would take me to eat when I was hungry, I said that when I was thirsty, he would buy water in a hurry, and I said that my brother was in prison, so he was so anxious to go to Lu Guogong for help." Later, I wanted to marry him, and my father pointed out the marriage, and he was happy when he found out. ”

Xie Wan listened warmly in his heart, when the crown prince and the crown princess were immersed in Yin Yu's affairs, Yin Zhao, who had no one to mind, chose a good home for himself, maybe the prince didn't know so many stories in his daughter's heart, right? Yin Zhao has met her several times, this is the first time she has had the opportunity to talk to her sister-in-law, and soon after they met, they talked to her about these selfish themselves, which shows how lonely they are in their hearts on weekdays.

And she married Lu Guogongfu, Lu Guogong is still serving as the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and he really didn't expect that he would marry one day. It seems that in order to be forgotten and grew up in the deep palace, Yin Zhao, she also has to move around more with the Lu State Mansion.

When I returned to Fengqi Palace in the evening, the prince had really come, and Qingliu was cleaning up the jade cup that the prince used to use on weekdays.

The crown princess's expression has returned to normal, and when she saw Xie Wan coming, she raised her hand to hug Yin Xu, Xie Wan excused herself to wash her hands, and under the curtain, she summoned Wu Shiying, the eunuch of the county prince's mansion who stayed in the East Palace, to approach, and asked quietly: "The prince came just now, what did you say?" ”

Wu Shiying is only fourteen years old this year, and her voice is like a child: "The prince punished the second grandson of the emperor for copying the Analects, and the king of Jingjiang was also affected. ”

Xie Wan was silent.

The emperor acted more and more perversely, although Yin Yao's matter was suspected of being unrighteous, but in the end, it was not a big deal, and this matter was committed by Yin Yao, the emperor did not reprimand Yin Yao but reprimanded the prince, and swept the prince's face in front of all the ministers, I am afraid it is not just because the scars are revealed. Could it be because he harbored something else in his heart and deliberately made the prince angry?

She waved Wu Shiying down.

The night banquet was more sumptuous than the luncheon, but there were not as many people as during the day, so twenty circles were set up in the Qianqing Palace.

After dinner, the emperor finally felt better, and he gave a few poems, which were rushed back by the clansmen to collect.

This night, Xie Wan and Yin Yu rested in the East Palace, because they had to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship their ancestors in the early morning.

The dormitory is in the Ziguan Hall where Yin Yu originally lived.

In the next morning, Xie Wan took a group of people to take a nap here, so they had already cleaned up, Yin Yu saw Xie Wan rubbing her neck in front of the dressing table, so she rubbed it for her, and said, "This phoenix crown is a curtain or something, you are tired, right?" The one on the mother's head was heavier, but she had worn it for so many years and was used to it. ”

Xie Wan lay comfortably on the couch and asked him, "Today in the Qianqing Palace, why did the emperor get angry with His Highness?" (To be continued.) )
