There was no expression in the Queen Mother's eyes, as if she had just asked casually just now.

Ye Zhiwei lowered her head, but in an instant, she had already turned several thoughts.

Could it be that the Queen Mother came to herself today just to ask about the book "Eighteen Vegetarian Things"?

She raised her head and quickly glanced at the Queen Mother with her peripheral vision, only to see that her eyes were half-closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

Maybe she really just asked casually?

"I can't remember ...... It's been years since I've eaten the dishes he made......" the Queen Mother muttered to herself.

Ye Zhiwei's heart moved slightly, "This book was given to the concubine by an old man surnamed Xia. After a pause, she added, "The concubine happened to acquire a restaurant under his name, so she met each other." ”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, looked at her again, and spit out for a long time, "It is also fate that he can give this book to you." ”

"Yes." Although she didn't know what the Queen Mother meant, she could only respond casually, not daring to speculate.

The Queen Mother spoke more and more slowly, and sometimes she didn't make a sound for a long time, as if she was asleep, so Ye Zhiwei was extremely patient and stood there motionless.

Half an hour passed, Ye Zhiwei was secretly anxious, she knew that Feng Duhan would definitely wait outside, and she didn't know if the palace gate was locked at this time, otherwise they would really not be able to go back to the palace.

The Queen Mother asked her a few more words, but they were all inconsequential, as if they were chatting about family life, Ye Zhiwei vaguely felt that the Queen Mother always seemed to lead the topic to Old Man Xia.

So she tried to talk about Master Xia's health, and she saw that the Queen Mother's brows frowned slightly.

There is a door! She was secretly vigilant.

"Older people are looking forward to having a ...... with a son and a half daughter by their side," the Queen Mother muttered to herself.

This time, Ye Zhiwei immediately guessed what the Queen Mother wanted to ask her, so she said: "The concubine didn't see that Master Xia was accompanied by his children, only an apprentice followed him, and he was also half of his son, and he took care of him very well, and Master Xia taught him all his skills." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes widened suddenly, "How old is his apprentice?" ”

Ye Zhiwei pondered, "Look at the appearance...... Probably just past the weak crown. Xia Xiaomo is just over twenty years old.

The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth trembled, "How is his character?" ”

Although she was confused by these questions asked by the Queen Mother, Ye Zhiwei still replied: "He has good cooking skills, and he is also straightforward, and his joy and anger will be shown on his face." ”

The Queen Mother frowned deeply, her face full of hesitation.

Seeing this, Ye Zhiwei tried, "The Queen Mother wants to eat that eighteen vegetarian dishes?" ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's body slowly relaxed and shook her head.

Ye Zhiwei stopped talking and stood honestly.

Finally, the Queen Mother waved her hand and summoned the attendants beside her, "Send the princess out of the palace." ”

The waiter answered.

Ye Zhiwei saluted again, and was about to retreat, when the Queen Mother suddenly stretched out her hand, and there was a waist card with gold and jade inlaid in her hand, "People are old...... I always hope that the people around me will be lively......" she muttered, "you can come to the palace with this when you have nothing to do, and you don't need to be summoned by the mourning family." ”

Ye Zhiwei hurriedly stepped forward, took the waist card with both hands, and leaned over again to thank him.

She knew it was a big deal.

With this waist card, she can enter and leave the palace freely, and looking at the ladies of the court, the only one who can win this honor is the emperor's eldest sister, the eldest princess.

Other than that, there really isn't a second person who can own this waist card.

Ye Zhiwei knew its preciousness, carefully put away the waist card, and followed the waiter out of Anhe Palace.

It was pitch black outside the palace, and the attendant took Ye Zhiwei through the garden.

Ye Zhiwei's eyes hadn't yet adapted to the darkness, so she had to follow the faint light of the lantern in the hand of the palace maid in front of her.

As soon as they passed through a palace gate, they suddenly saw two palace maids coming on the side of the path, and stepped forward to block their way.

"Who?" The chamberlain was obviously the queen mother's confidant, and he was not polite at all when he talked to these palace maids, "Which palace are you from, don't you want your head?" Hurry up and get out of the way. ”

The two palace maids did not leave, but said: "The hour is not early, the palace gate has been locked, and the queen mother is afraid that the princess will have nowhere to rest, so I hereby let the slave maid lead the way and invite the princess to enter the queen's palace to rest." Saying that, the two palace maids stretched out their hands and showed the waist card in their palms that only existed in the queen's palace.

The waiter who led the way looked slightly embarrassed, and said: "Our family is sent out of the palace by the order of the Queen Mother, and we will not work for the queen's mother to settle it." ”

Ye Zhiwei heard it really well, and the villain in her heart sneered disdainfully: Please let me go to the queen's palace to settle? I'm afraid that before dawn, I will lose my head.

The two palace maids didn't let go when they heard this, they all lowered their heads, "The slaves and maids are all doing things for the master, please don't embarrass the slaves and maids, if the princess doesn't want to stay in the palace, you can explain to the queen in person, and then it's not too late to ask the father-in-law to send the princess out of the palace." ”

The chamberlain frowned, "In that case, you wait here first, and our family will go and tell the Queen Mother......" Before he finished speaking, the two palace maids opposite suddenly raised their hands, and by the faint light of the lantern, they saw that they were each holding a sharp dagger in their hands.

"Ahh The little palace maid who carried the lantern in front of her to lead the way screamed in fright.

The chamberlain was also frightened, but he still did not forget his responsibility, and stepped in front of Ye Zhiwei, "Be careful, princess!" ”

On the faces of the two people opposite, there was still any humble appearance of a palace maid, but an assassin with a grim face.

"Who's coming......," the chamberlain cried out, and one of the daggers plunged into his chest.

Ye Zhiwei's heart tightened, and just as the two people on the opposite side rushed towards her, a fierce wind suddenly rolled up beside her, swept close to her side, and flipped the two people on the opposite side to the ground, throwing them dozens of steps away, and hitting the stone pillar in the corridor, only to slow down the force.

The smell of dipterocarp came to her face, slightly cold, with a little bitterness, which calmed down her nervous body and mind.

She didn't have to look with her eyes to guess who was standing behind her at the moment.

The two assassins dressed as palace maids on the opposite side leapt up with agility and threw sharp daggers in their hands.

Two cold rays of light reflected in the night sky.

"Come to your husband." The faint male voice sounded, slightly hoarse.

Ye Zhiwei didn't hesitate and plunged into his arms.

The dagger roared towards them, and it was about to fly close to them, and the wind and twilight cold clouds were long and relaxed, and the true qi absorbed the two daggers and rolled them into his sleeves.

At the same time, the two Assassins leaped from different directions, each holding a soft sword.

Ye Zhiwei didn't dare to move, she was afraid that she would cause him trouble.

There was a piercing sound of blades clash in my ears.

Wind Twilight Han pulled out the hidden soft sword from his waist with one hand, and at the same time parryed the opponent's two soft swords, he used the sword body to bounce the opponent away, and a magnificent white silver arc immediately crossed the air.

"There are assassins!"

"Catch the assassins!" The mournful cries of the palace maids were particularly clear in the night.

Seeing that this was not going well, the two Assassins turned around and fled.

"Can't let them run!" Ye Zhiwei said hurriedly, only by catching them can it be possible to know who the master behind them is, and they dare to do it in the Queen Mother's Palace, their courage is not ordinary.

Wind Twilight laughed coldly, and the sword qi raised by the blade was like an afterimage, densely intertwined like a storm, rushing towards the two assassins opposite.

Ye Zhiwei shrank in his arms, from beginning to end, she didn't even see his move and a half clearly, and the afterimage of the weapon and the sparks from the collision were all in her field of vision.

It's thrilling.
