Chapter XXXVIII

After Ji Yueqin left, she and Nan Xuanyu got into a carriage and returned to the palace.

It's dusk again, and I see the golden sunset afterglow pouring on the palace buildings in the distance, making the palace even more solemn and splendid.

Nan Xuanyu understands Ji Yueqin's smart girl in her heart, and she is also very means, but she will not make people feel disgusted. Nan Xuanyu became more and more interested in Ji Yueqin, after all, her appearance and bearing were not comparable to ordinary women.

Not to mention anything else, her strong and indomitable character also impressed him, and at the same time, he also had a desire to protect and conquer.

Nan Xuanyu was a prince, and when he was a teenager, he saw a lot of Yingying Yanyan stuffed by courtiers, but none of them could be eyed. Now because of Ji Yueqin's appearance, his life seems to have added a touch of bright brilliance, which can't help but make him feel that this boring and boring prince's life is a little more interesting.

"Brother Yu, what are you thinking, so distracted. Is there something dirty on Yueqin's face? Ji Yueqin saw Nan Xuanyu looking at herself in a trance, and asked in a loud voice.

When Nan Xuanyu heard Ji Yueqin ask him, he also came back to his senses, and smiled at Ji Yueqin and said, "No, Sister Yue is very beautiful today, just like a fairy." ”

Ji Yueqin Nan Xuanyu said this, her slightly pale smile instantly turned red, and she smiled shyly and said softly: "Brother Yu doesn't laugh at me like this." ”

Nan Xuanyu saw that Ji Yueqin was shy, and even more wanted to possess Ji Yueqin alone, only to see him pinch Ji Yueqin's face, and asked Ji Yueqin with a light smile: "Why is Sister Yue so interested in that Miss Chu, is it just because that Miss Chu invited you to sit together, so you are so good to her?" ”

After Ji Yueqin heard this, she said to Nan Xuanyu with a slight snort: "I'm not stupid, I will treat anyone I meet with sincerity." But as long as I treat my people with my heart, I will redouble my heart to each other, this is what my mother taught me. ”

Seeing that Ji Yueqin was so kind, Nan Xuanyu's heart moved, and a suspicious flush appeared on his face and said, "Then you and Miss Chu know each other and become close friends, so you will go and help others." Then I have helped you save you many times, and when you grow up, you might as well marry me. ”

Ji Yueqin listened to Nan Xuanyu's half-joking words, and blushed even more, not looking at Nan Xuanyu's eyes, but just buried his face in his arm and muttered: "Okay, Brother Yu wants to marry a concubine, then I have to tell the emperor's uncle tomorrow and ask him to marry you a concubine who is in charge of you." ”

Nan Xuanyu was a little stunned when he heard Ji Yueqin say it, and then he only thought that Ji Yueqin was only eight or nine years old how could he understand these men and women, so he no longer laughed with Ji Yueqin.

Time flies, and it doesn't take long for the carriage they were riding to arrive in front of the palace gate, only to see that there were already two sedan chairs parked in front of the palace gate, neatly arranged aside.

As soon as Nan Xuanyu got off the carriage, he saw a sharp-eyed grandmother standing next to the carriage, respectfully saluted Nan Xuanyu, and said, "The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Lord of Anning. His Royal Highness the Prince, the Queen Mother sent an old slave to take you to the Fengxi Palace. ”

Nan Xuanyu didn't know why the queen mother was looking for her, so she asked her mother out loud: "Mama Jiang, why is the queen mother looking for the palace this time?" ”

"The old slave doesn't know, the queen just ordered the old slave to come to greet His Royal Highness the Prince, and did not tell why she was looking for His Royal Highness the Prince." Mama Jiang said respectfully.

"This palace knows, so I will go with my grandmother."

After Nan Xuanyu finished talking to Mama Jiang, he turned around and said to Ji Yueqin: "Sister Yue will go back first, and I will come to you to play when I am free, okay?" ”

Ji Yueqin nodded at him and got into the sedan chair.

Nan Xuanyu's eyes kept following Ji Yueqin's figure, until the curtain of the sedan chair completely blocked Ji Yueqin's figure, and he withdrew his gaze.

Mama Jiang saw it on the side, and secretly said in her heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really as Niangniang said that he is fascinated by this Anning County Lord, I am afraid that in some time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be as infatuated with Ji Yueqin as the emperor back then.

If this is the case, the queen mother will definitely not let go of Ji Yueqin, and will do everything possible to get rid of it. She couldn't help sighing, back then, she and the queen mother calculated Duan Rou together, and now that Duan Rou is dead, she has to calculate her daughter, it seems that the queen mother and herself are really natural rivals.

When the sedan chair where Ji Yueqin was located had completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Nan Xuanyu reluctantly got into his sedan chair.

Mama Jiang didn't think much about it, and immediately followed the sedan chair to Fengxi Palace.

Fengxi Palace is a little away from the palace gate, but the palace people who carry the sedan chair have excellent foot strength, and it didn't take long to arrive at Fengxi Palace.

After the sedan chair stopped, Nan Xuanyu walked straight to the Fengxi Palace, and Mama Jiang didn't dare to stay behind.

I saw the queen sitting at the table dignifiedly, her face was a little unhappy, but when she saw Nan Xuanyu coming in, she squeezed out a smile and greeted Nan Xuanyu warmly.

"Yu'er, I haven't had dinner yet. Come and sit beside the Queen Mother. The queen hadn't seen her son for a long time, and although she had asked him to come this time, she was also very happy in her heart.

"The son has seen the queen mother. Why is the queen mother so eager to call her sons to come? Nan Xuanyu's tone revealed a bit of alienation.

Although the queen is Nan Xuanyu's biological mother, Nan Xuanyu has been taken away by the emperor since he was a child, so naturally he does not have too much affection for his mother.

Seeing Nan Xuanyu's detached appearance, the queen couldn't help but feel a little lonely, but she didn't want to show her slightly embarrassed appearance, so she pulled out a smile and pulled Nan Xuanyu and said, "Why, can't the queen mother see my son more if she wants to." ”

"The sons didn't dare, but the queen mother was so eager to ask the sons to come and thought that the queen mother had something to tell the sons." Nan Xuanyu heard the queen say this, and looked at the ground without raising his eyelids.

"The queen mother just wants Yu'er to accompany her mother to dinner."

After the queen smiled and finished speaking to Nan Xuanyu, she instructed Mama Jiang behind her: "Mama Jiang, go and ask the imperial dining room to bring dinner." ”

After giving the order, he kindly pulled Nan Xuanyu and said, "Today, the queen mother made a special trip to make Yu'er's favorite food, and Yu'er needs to eat more." ”

Nan Xuanyu nodded, no longer answered, his eyes inadvertently swept the vases and small objects displayed around him, and suddenly found that it was different from the last time, so he asked casually: "The objects in the mother's harem have been changed again?" ”

The queen's body stiffened slightly, but she still said to Nan Xuanyu with a smile: "Yu'er is really interested in the queen mother, and even the small objects in the mother's harem are clearly remembered. Oh, these objects were broken by the green lotus a few days ago, and the queen mother sent someone to replace them with new ones. ”

Nan Xuanyu didn't make a sound, just nodded and stopped making a sound.

The relationship between their mother and son is really delicate, and anyone who hears that his son cares about some things without asking if his mother is okay will be amazed.

In this way, the delicate atmosphere was maintained until dinner was finished, and as soon as dinner was finished, Nan Xuanyu wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by the queen.

"Today, Yu'er is out of the palace with Ji Yueqin's girl?" When the queen mentioned Ji Yueqin, she faintly gritted her teeth.

When Nan Xuanyu saw that the queen mentioned Ji Yueqin, he put on a bright smile on the queen's mother for the first time, and her tone was not as cold as just now, but said softly: "Erchen did go out of the palace with Sister Yue today to visit Miss Chu. ”

When the queen saw her son's appearance, she couldn't help but think of Nan Ruiyuan's appearance when she mentioned Duan Rou, and she was even more angry in her heart.

But she still has to maintain a dignified appearance in front of her son, "Yu'er, as the crown prince, is still less associated with Yueqin's girl than Yueqin, and she has to focus on political affairs, and besides, the queen mother has already booked Yu'er's candidate for the main concubine, and your father will definitely not let Yueqin's girl be your side concubine......"

Before the queen finished speaking, she heard Nan Xuanyu's slightly angry voice say, "What? How could the queen mother privately appoint a concubine for her sons? Oh, Erchen told his mother that Erchen's position as a concubine can only be Sister Yue's, and I won't marry her! ”

After speaking, Nan Xuanyu brushed his sleeves away, walked to the door, turned around and said coldly to the queen: "The marriage of the sons and daughters is not up to the queen mother, the queen mother still thinks more about her father and the harem, and the sons and daughters retired." ”

When the queen heard Nan Xuanyu's words, she was even more angry, pointed to the door and said, "You unfilial son!" I'm really going to be......"

When Mama Jiang saw the queen's appearance, she stepped forward and gently stroked the queen's back with her hand to give the queen a smooth breath, "The queen doesn't need to worry, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just has a good impression of the county lord of Anning for a while, why don't we bring Miss Duan into the palace one day and get along with His Royal Highness the Prince, so maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will look at Miss Duan differently?" ”

The queen slowly calmed down, snorted and said: "This palace thinks that Zhilan is the best candidate for Yu'er's concubine, and the most important thing is that Zhilan is the daughter of the elder brother of this palace, and only in this way can the power of this palace be further consolidated." As for Ji Yueqin, it's better to ......"

The queen whispered to Mama Jiang, and then sat there with a dark expression.

After listening to this, Mama Jiang couldn't say what her expression was, but she looked at the queen with some concern and said: "Queen Mother, the slave maid thinks that this is not appropriate, if the third prince is favored because of the lord of Anning, I am afraid it will ...... Not good for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

The queen glanced at Mama Jiang and said, "What do you know, if the two of them are allowed to sleep together, it will not only ruin Ji Yueqin's reputation, but also make Nan Xuanjue completely lose power, and at the same time break Yu'er's mind to marry Ji Yueqin, do you understand?" ”

When Mama Jiang heard this, she bowed her head and said respectfully: "It's still thoughtful, this is a plan to kill three birds with one stone!" ”

The queen picked up the fragrant tea in her hand and took a sip lightly, then continued: "Okay, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in a few days, you go and prepare first, and send someone to send a letter to Duan Guogong's mansion, saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet should be dressed up by Zhilan." ”
