There were many guards outside the imperial study, and Chu Mubai's entourage was guarding in front of him in an orderly manner, obviously still there.

Shui You knew him, and went straight forward and looked at the entourage Fufu: "Dare to ask General Chu if he is still in the imperial study?" ”

The entourage arched his hand as a return salute: "Exactly, it's still on the agenda, but what does the queen have to order?" ”

Shui You nodded: "Then I will be tired for a while General Chu will come out, and the adults will tell General Chu that the queen is waiting for him in the Huxin Pavilion in the back garden, and I have something to say." ”

The entourage agreed: "It's just that the emperor is discussing matters, but there is no time, and it may be too late." Do you need to go in in advance? ”

"It's okay, don't worry, just send someone to Qingqiu Palace to spread the word when the time comes."

The attendant nodded: "Miss Shuiyou, don't worry, she will definitely bring the words." ”

Shui You turned around, still uneasy, and said: "Don't forget, the queen must have something right." ”

The attendant was also afraid that he would be forgetful, so he casually greeted the guards in front of the imperial study: "If I forget it for a while, remember to remind me." ”

It happened that Chu Mubai had something to do halfway, and he went out of the imperial study to convey Mo Guhan's order, and the entourage told Chu Mubai about what Yushu had done, and asked him to go to the garden and lake pavilion to see the queen mother after the discussion.

At this time, Mo Guhan was discussing the scientific expedition with King Chen, Shao Ziqing and others, and he had nothing to do with him, so he got Mo Guhan's consent, sent his entourage to the Qingqiu Palace to spread the message, and then went to the imperial garden by himself.

The Lake Center Pavilion is located on Bibo Lake, surrounded by water on three sides, and one side leads directly to the Fubi Pavilion. The pavilion is built to be small and exquisite, like a painting boat floating on the water, and it is a wonderful place for the palace concubines to feed on the koi fish in the lake.

It is a good season of warm spring, standing in the pavilion, the cool breeze blows on the face, and the robe sleeves hunting, just like Ling Bo stands.

Chu Mubai arrived earlier than Yuehua, watching Yuehua cautiously come from the direction of Fubi Pavilion, wearing a white Luo shirt, his body was round, his waist was slightly bloated, he had faded from the youth of last year, and he looked more and more calm and well-mannered.

Chu Mubai took two steps forward and reached out to help her, Yuehua took advantage of the situation to come up and touched her heart with her hand: "I didn't feel like I came here before, I floated over as lightly as flying." Now my body is bulky, and when I walk on this rickety chain bridge, I feel that my feet are all vain, as if I am stepping on clouds. ”

Chu Mubai smiled: "What do you have to do, even if you let me go to the Qingqiu Palace and tell me, why did you come here in person?" ”

Yuehua didn't beat around the bush, and said to herself: "The main thing is to ask you about Zijin, I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient in Qingqiu Palace, and she will be embarrassed to hear it, and there is another confidential thing entrusted to you to do, so just take two steps, it is also quiet here, surrounded by water on three sides, so as not to be listened to by others." ”

"What's wrong with Zijin? Got you in trouble again? ”

"Again?" Yuehua immediately keenly caught Chu Mubai's words: "She didn't cause any trouble?" What did you tell her yesterday? ”

Chu Mubai didn't want to say more in front of Yuehua, so he shook his head: "I didn't say anything, just a few small talks." ”

"Brother, you have never lied, and you don't dare to look at me every time you lie." Yuehua pierced him with a word: "I heard that Zijin cried last night, and went to live with Huaien for a night, and when I came back today, my mood was obviously wrong, and I wanted to go out of the palace." You must have told her something. ”

Chu Mubai frowned slightly: "I really didn't say anything excessive, but I just told her to keep to herself in the palace and not to cause unnecessary trouble for you." ”

"My brother is looking for her specifically to say this? Zijin has always been extremely peaceful, did you hear something? ”

"You don't have to cover it up for her, I already know about her pretending to be a ghost and scaring Yajieyu."

Yuehua was stunned in her heart: "How do you know?" Who told you that? ”

"I heard it by accident." Chu Mubai didn't want to say anything about Yajieyu Xingshi's questioning, so he said perfunctorily.

"Impossible!" Yuehua said in a deep voice: "This matter is only Zijin, I, and Huai En know about it." ”

Chu Mubai was silent for a moment, and said truthfully: "When I left the palace yesterday, I saw Yajieyu, and she asked me about my Xingshi. ”

"Yajieyu? How will she know? ”

"She said that Zijin pretended to be Concubine He, and the set of clothes that pretended to be a ghost was in her hand."

"Yajieyu already knows?" Yuehua was a little anxious: "If she really went to the Queen Mother to complain, wouldn't Zijin be troublesome?" Even if the evidence is insufficient, you know what kind of character Zijin is, as long as they insist that I instructed them, she will definitely confess them all truthfully. ”

"Yajieyu, their target is you, and it is precisely because they can't bring you down that they swallow their anger and don't make a big deal, but come to me to provoke."

"It's no wonder that Zijin didn't look right when he saw me today. She must have suspected that I had come to you to complain to her. Yuehua said with relief: "I'll explain it to her clearly when I go back." lest it become a barrier over time, accumulating over time. ”

"Maybe I was in a hurry yesterday, so my tone was a little heavier."

Yuehua nodded: "When you have the opportunity, you still have to coax her by yourself, girls are more sensitive and like to suffer from gains and losses." ”

Chu Mubai nodded "um": "You said that there are still confidential things for me to do, what is it?" ”

Yuehua said seriously: "I want you to help me investigate a person's roots, but don't use people in your army, it's better to be friends in the rivers and lakes." ”

"What is so secret? What else to avoid? Chu Mubai asked suspiciously.

"It's not a secret, but I don't want to leak the news, and everyone will be embarrassed by then."

"No problem, who are you asking me to investigate?"

"It's none other than ......"

"Who?!"

Chu Mubai shouted loudly.

Yuehua was stunned for a moment before she reacted, Chu Mubai was not asking herself.

"Come out, what are you doing sneaky?!"

Yuehua turned her head and saw that it was Zijin, and she cowered and flashed out from behind the pavilion pillar in front of her, hanging her head and biting her lower lip.

"It's me."

"Why are you here? What do you do in secrecy? Chu Mubai snorted coldly, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

Yuehua tugged on his sleeve and greeted with a smile: "It turned out to be Zijin, it just so happened that Brother Mubai was also there, and he had something to say to you." ”

Zijin secretly raised his eyes, and saw Yuehua tugging on Chu Mubai's sleeves, looking quite intimate, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

She was thinking about it alone in the room, feeling more and more bored, and when she heard the jade book and the palace people talking outside, she knew that Yuehua had left the Qingqiu Palace and came here to see Chu Mubai coming. As soon as her heart moved, she immediately followed her, trying to avoid the palace people who were guarding the outside and eavesdropping on what the two were saying.

It's a pity that Yuehua and Chu Mubai are located right in the middle of the lake, and she can't hear the two of them talking clearly, but instead reveals her whereabouts.

She has always been upright, and she feels that this eavesdropping is really not a glorious thing, and she has a ghost in her heart, and she doesn't know how to speak.

"Come here, huh?" Yuehua urged.

Zijin raised his eyes to look at Chu Mubai, his face was very unsightly. Simply felt that he had done nothing wrong, so he strode into the Huxin Pavilion.

"I ...... I heard that Brother Mu Bai was here, so I came over to take a look. She stammered as she explained.

Chu Mubai's face was as stiff as if he was reprimanding his subordinates, and his face sank like water: "Then what are you doing hiding there?" ”

Yuehua turned around and glared at him: "Shicai himself is still reviewing, he is too harsh on Zijin, why did he forget it as soon as he turned around?" ”

Chu Mubai immediately softened his tone, his face softened, and he said "um" in a low voice.

Qiu Zijin saw it in his eyes, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but redden.

"You don't have anything else to say but reprimand me, do you?"

"No, Zijin, Brother Shicai also said that he wanted to apologize to you, he said it in too heavy a tone yesterday, and it hurt your heart."

Yuehua glanced at Chu Mubai again and again, but Chu Mubai was silent.

"I can't afford it, it's not rare!" Qiu Zijin snorted coldly and turned his face away: "Left and right, he doesn't like me, and it's wrong to do anything!" I've wronged myself like this, and it's just that he doesn't appreciate it, and he's still picky in every way. ”

For the relationship between the two, Yuehua doesn't want to get involved too much, but things always start because of herself, plus Chu Mubai's temper is cold and hard, it is not as good as Mo Guhan's rhetoric, Yuehua wants to maneuver one or two from it and solve the misunderstanding between the two.

She "poofed" and smiled: "Who said that my brother doesn't appreciate it, it's just that he can't speak." The closer he is, the more he ignores the other person's feelings. He treats you as the closest person, so he is careless. ”

Zijin kept looking at Chu Mubai with his eyes, and when he saw that he had been pursing his thin lips and being silent, he was even more annoyed. Even if he just smiled at himself and said a soft word, that's it. Shicai and Chu Yuehua were still talking and laughing, why did they stay silent as soon as they came.

She couldn't hold the words in her heart, and she was annoyed, she didn't choose what to say, and blurted out her angry words: "The queen mother is also the closest person in his heart, why can he be so caring and caring for everything?" I'm the only one, breathing and drinking, not caring about my feelings at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuehua was a little stunned, understood the crux of the problem, and didn't know how to explain the persuasion for a while, her expression was inevitably gloomy, and she lowered her head.

Chu Mubai immediately scolded: "What nonsense?!" ”

Now that the topic has been clarified, Zijin naturally has no scruples, wipes a handful of tears from his eyes, and chokes up: "Isn't it? If you are careless by nature, you will be a person who does not understand the amorous feelings, but when I was in the maple forest, I saw with my own eyes how you treated the queen with great detail. But when I'm sad, wronged, or even sick, you don't care about it. Do you really think of me as your future wife?

I am indeed a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and I am not informal, you can look at me as an iron-clad man. However, I am also a woman, I stay in this unaccompanied capital for you, you can't just give me a name, lie to me wholeheartedly, like you with all my might, but always hold a cold and hard stone! ”
