The girls and mothers-in-law were busy, not only waiting for Queen Wu to change clothes and washing, but the subordinates of Huainan Wangfu sent Miss Shao Qi and Li Yan's clothes and makeup in, and Lu Yun and Yushu waited for the two to change clothes and wash again.

Li Yan stayed for a while with Yushu, who was so familiar with the things that moved, it seemed that she was a stranger to this place, and Yushu was not.

Li Yan and Miss Shao Qi had just changed their clothes and washed up, and the maid came in and invited them into the upper room.

Empress Wu has changed out of the grand black embroidered phoenix dress she prayed for just now, and changed into a camel-colored long skirt with an apricot yellow jacket on it, which looks bright and amiable.

"Come here, sit here. You come over too. Empress Wu spoke in a friendly tone, greeted Miss Shao Qi in a casual manner, and motioned for Li Yan to sit on the round stool in front of the kang.

Miss Shao Qi seemed to be accustomed to Empress Wu's courtesy, carrying her skirt and sitting on the edge of the kang with a half-twist, "What about the ninth sister?" Why didn't you see it? ”

"They'll be here in a moment, let's talk first." Empress Wu watched Miss Shao Qi take the soup, turned her head to look at Li Yan and said with a smile: "You are very similar to Ling Zu's eyebrows, and you are also three or four points similar to Old Li Chengxiang." ”

Li Yan was stunned, she had seen the old Prime Minister Li?

As if seeing her doubts, Empress Wu pursed her lips and explained with a smile, "There are several portraits of Prime Minister Li in the palace, all of which are masterpieces of famous families. ”

While Li Yan was puzzled, he couldn't help but glance at Empress Wu, this is a smart and clear person.

"You're nineteen?" Empress Wu glanced at Li Yan, Li Yan didn't look like he was nineteen years old, "You have always grown up with your uncle?" Has your uncle ever consulted with you? ”

Empress Wu's series of questions, Li Yan's heart suddenly rose, what does this mean? Do you want to give her a kiss?

"This year is nineteen, and my uncle has been sick for the past few years, and he can't take care of anything else." Li Yan vaguely put the three questions together, raised his heart, and waited for Empress Wu's words later.

"A poor boy, too." Li Yan, who looked at Empress Wu with pity, couldn't help but feel warm, "Fortunately, you are not young, you can pick a family well, and when you return home, someone will hurt and have a family to rely on." ”

Empress Wu's words came to an abrupt end here, and she turned her head to look at Miss Shao Qi, who was listening to her and Li Yan while drinking soup, "The winter in the capital is much colder than your Yangzhou, is it cold?" ”

"It's not cold at all, I think the winter in Beijing is good, the capital is better than Yangzhou, and everywhere is better than Yangzhou." Miss Shao Qi handed the bowl and soup to the maid and replied with a smile that this was her true words.

Empress Wu looked at Miss Shao Qi with a faint pity in her eyes, and while leaning over to touch Miss Shao Qi's hand to see if it was cold, she asked without looking back, "Go and see if Sister Jiu'er is here." ”

"Back to Niangniang, I've already entered the yard." The maid went out and immediately turned around and came in to reply, as soon as the words fell, there was a sound of light footsteps outside with a slow and slow footsteps, the little girl raised the curtain high, a man with a fat body and a tight face, surrounded by Miss Wu Jiu and others in the middle, and entered the house, the man's face was round and white, like a huge silver basin.

Li Yan looked directly at the face that was higher than everyone else, it was an extremely typical congenital stupid face, this was the second prince who everyone knew was stupid?

Empress Wu slanted at Li Yan, who had already stood up from the corner of her eyes, with surprise and pity on her face, leaned up and beckoned to the second prince, "Brother Qing'er come here, let's Brother Qing is doing well today." Take off your coat for him. ”

The two maids stepped forward and untied the belts of the second prince, and the two of them moved in unison, carrying the outer robe of the second prince that looked a little too structured, and took it off.

The second prince who took off his robe seemed to come to life all of a sudden, his nose and eyes quickly shrank together and expanded, unfolded and retracted, so fast that it was dazzling, he shrank and unfolded I don't know how many times, the second prince snorted violently, let out a long breath, shook his arms and sat on the edge of the kang, and almost squeezed the stunned Miss Shao Qi down.

Li Yan hurriedly reached out to support Miss Shao Qi and pulled her up.

Empress Wu didn't seem to see Miss Shao Qi's shock, and personally went to the head for the second prince, stroking his head lovingly, "Are you tired?" Brother Qing is very well-behaved today......"

The second prince only took the soup handed by the maid and drank it with a snort.

Facing Miss Wu Jiu's slanted gaze, Li Yan pinched Miss Shao Qi, who was looking at her with her mouth half open.

Alas, there were at least two fools in this room, one drinking soup and the other watching and drinking soup.

Fortunately, Miss Shao Qi is still much better than the second prince, and she was pulled twice by Li Yan, and she was finally able to control her shock, lowering her eyelids and pretending to be nothing.

The second prince didn't know what to say, Queen Wu listened attentively, and it seemed that she really understood, nodding her head while listening, laughing non-stop, and asking a few more words, but the second prince didn't care what she asked, he only said his own words.

"Brother Qing wants to go to the back to have a look, they didn't let him go?" Empress Wu suddenly turned her head, looked at Miss Wu Jiu and asked with a smile, Miss Wu Jiu nodded hurriedly, "It's me, Niang Niang ordered me not to walk around, I didn't dare to ......"

"Look at it, sue you." Empress Wu caressed the head of the second prince with love and anger, "A-Niang knows that you are a good boy, and you are so good today, A-Niang will accompany you to the back mountain to play for a while, okay?" ”

The face of the second prince began to shrink and expand again, and it began to shrink and shrink, Li Yan pulled Miss Shao Qi, who was about to look straight again, it seems that the second prince shrank and unfolded his face like this, which means that he is very happy and excited.

The two maids came over with the crisp and surprisingly long gown that they had just taken off, and Empress Wu swept her eyes and waved her hand, "No need to wear this, there are no outsiders, take a thick mink cloak with a hood." ”

The maids were busy getting their clothes, waiting for the second prince, Empress Wu and others to wear cloaks, hand tubes, hand stoves, etc., Li Yan pulled down Miss Shao Qi, and was about to signal her to quit quickly, but Queen Wu looked at her and Miss Shao Qi and smiled: "You two are the first to return to this White Horse Temple, right?" The view of the back mountain is superb, but the wind is strong, take the hand stove. ”

Miss Shao Qi's face was excited, Li Yan swallowed the words of retirement, wrapped himself in a thick mink cloak, followed Miss Wu Jiu and others, and went out of the courtyard together, rejoicing in the back mountain.

Li Yan fell back as much as possible, although Miss Shao Qi said that she was blunt and similar to the second prince, but she was really sincere to Li Yan, Li Yan fell backwards, although she loved to join in the fun, and loved to cling to Queen Wu, but for the sake of Li Yan, a poor person, she still fell behind.
