"The emperor and I are going to Cining Palace for a walk, where is the crown princess?" Lan Qi said politely, glanced back at Xuan Ye, saw that he frowned slightly, sighed in his heart, and took the initiative to play a round and say, "The emperor has nothing important here, if you have something, go first." ”

The crown princess's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly bowed down and said, "The princess has retired." ”

But Xuan Ye suddenly spoke up and asked his daughter-in-law, "Where are you going?" ”

The crown princess looked at the emperor in a panic, she didn't know how to answer, she was so frightened that her legs and stomach were trembling, and she still said perfunctorily in desperation: "Erchen also came out for a walk, it is a good time for autumn to be cool." ”

Xuan Ye motioned for Lan Qi to continue walking, but casually instructed the crown princess: "It's better to go to Cining Palace together, and you can give the empress dowager a stick of incense." ”

But the crown princess's face was as pale as paper, and she was stuck in place like a needle in the sea, and then she was almost surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs and pushed step by step, before she kept up with the pace of the emperor and concubine.

Trembling to Cining Palace, the crown princess thought that the most miserable encounter in her life was about to come, but there was no one in Cining Palace, only the palace maid and eunuch who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping knelt on the ground, and the boulder she pressed on her heart fell suddenly, and her body seemed to be too soft to support, how afraid she was that the missing prince would appear here, and how afraid he was wearing some strange clothes to vent her depression.

"What's wrong with you?" The emperor looked at his daughter-in-law and frowned, "Is your body bad?" ”

The crown princess shook her head, bowed her head and didn't dare to let the emperor see her face again, Lan Qi was also very embarrassed on the side, it was rare to see the crown princess so out of shape, I always felt that it would be good if she wasn't there at this time, but think about it, wouldn't the emperor and the princess be even more embarrassed if she wasn't there?

The original meaning of distraction was gone, and the group solemnly saluted the Empress Dowager with incense, but when Xuan Ye was about to leave with Lan Qi, people from Yuqing Palace hurriedly came. It's just a confused thing, I don't know what it looks like in a hurry, I don't know that the holy car is here, I broke in without a head and a brain, and collided with the emperor head-on. The eunuch under Gonggong Liang fiercely dragged the man aside, but Xuan Ye stopped and asked, "He came in and called the crown princess, is he from Yuqing Palace?" ”

The crown princess was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and repeatedly said that she was not strict in her rule, which disturbed the holy car. Xuan Ye ignored her, and continued to ask the person: "What are you looking for the crown princess?" ”

Gonggong Liang stepped forward and frightened the little eunuch with a hideous face, and carried him to the emperor, the child was frightened and stammered: "The slave came to tell the crown princess that the prince and the prince have found it in the Kunning Palace." ”

Xuan Ye's face was gloomy, and he answered coldly: "I'll go and see him." ”

The emperor left this sentence and walked out of the door, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then followed closely, the crown princess got up from the ground in a panic and wanted to chase out, Lan Qi, who had not left, grabbed her arm and said gently and calmly: "Princess, let's go sit elsewhere." ”

"Concubine De." The crown princess's chest rose and fell, her eyes were full of tears, and she almost pleaded, "It's good for you to stop Huang Ama down?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head and gently comforted her: "It's going to be fine, they are father and son." ”

In Kunning Palace, Xuan Ye strode in, the moment he entered the door, he was so worried in his heart, after the prince strangled the Wang family, not only did he not restrain himself, but he also intensified his words and deeds, and often heard that he shuttled in the palace in a strange way, fortunately there were palace maids, and there were eunuchs who beat them, but he just heard that he had never seen it. Seeing the princess so flustered, he knew that it must be Yinren who was missing again, and he thought that he would catch him in Cining Palace, but he was not there, and now he came to Kunning Palace, what would he see?

Walking in step by step, I saw the palace maid and eunuch kneeling at the bottom of the steps, Xuan Ye was looking for the prince, and suddenly saw him walking out of the main hall, a neat indigo robe rich and spiritual, and a three-finger-wide white marble belt tied up a tall body, the son rushed to the front in a few steps, and bent his knees and said: "The son sees the emperor Amma." As soon as he looked up, he asked his father first, "Why is Huang Ama here?" ”

Xuan Ye was a little stunned in surprise, and hesitated for a moment before asking his son: "I heard that you are here, I am curious about what you are doing, so I specially came to ask you." ”

The prince hurriedly asked for sin: "Did the sons disturb the emperor Amma, please forgive the emperor." ”

Xuan Ye raised his eyes and looked at Kunning Palace, although this place is empty now, but there are always some festivals here every year to worship heaven and earth, the emperor is no stranger to Kunning Palace, but seeing that everything is as usual, he doesn't know whether he is happy or sad in his heart, does he want to see what his crazy son looks like, or is he hoping that he doesn't want to see everything? Then why can't he be happy at the moment?

"In a few days, the emperor's mother will be jealous, and the son wants to come and sweep the palace for the mother in person." Yinren said this, stood up on his own, lowered his head and said, "Erchen knew that this was not in accordance with the rules, so he didn't dare to tell anyone, I am afraid that the people in Yuqing Palace will be missing and Erchen will make a fuss, which will disturb you." ”

Xuan Ye frowned and thought about it, probably because Empress Niu Hulu's birthday was approaching, in fact, he didn't remember much anymore, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong had been dotted all these years, and every time something like this happened, it was good to do enough etiquette, he didn't care, but he remembered the life and death taboos of Queen Hesheri and his cousin very clearly, since Yinren called Huang Eniang at the moment, it should be Queen Niu Hulu. I didn't expect Yinren to come to mourn his adoptive mother, and then looked at his face carefully, and saw that his eyes were red as if he had cried, and he couldn't help but soften.

"It just so happens that today I miss your great-grandmother and went to Cining Palace. It is probably today's autumn wind, which makes people miss their old friends. Xuan Ye smiled coldly, but told his son, "There will be a queen in Kunning Palace in the future, you have to understand the proportions in it, don't come back in the future." ”

The prince showed a disappointed look on his face, but he did not resist his father, lowered his head and whispered, "Erchen remembers." ”

Xuan Ye was a little unbearable, so he said, "Have you set up an incense case?" ”

Yinren nodded and said busily: "Erchen will withdraw now, and he will not come here again in the future." ”

"Since it's set, let's wait for your mother to enjoy it before withdrawing, and I will also put on a stick of incense." Xuan Ye sighed lightly and walked towards the place where the prince had just come out.

Yinren followed behind the emperor, and the father and son entered the door together, but seeing that there were still a few pieces of manuscript paper next to the burning brazier, Xuan Ye put incense on the pillar for Niu Hulu's family under the service of his son, and asked casually: "Copying the scriptures for your mother?" ”

The crown prince shook his head, a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "It's the memorial written by the son for the emperor's mother." ”

Xuan Ye was even more surprised, and asked him to show it to himself, there was mourning between the lines, but then it was the prince's self-blame and self-reflection, sentence by sentence to say all his shame and incompetence, Xuan Ye turned over a picture and looked at it again, and returned to sadness at the end of the article, when it came to the loneliness and loneliness of his childhood, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and returned it to the prince, and said indifferently: "Since you wrote it, burn it to her." ”

Yinren held it with both hands, bowed and retreated to the brazier, there was gold leaf in it that had not yet burned out, the spark ignited the manuscript paper, and the white paper turned into ashes in the firelight, Xuan Ye raised his eyes to look at his son, only to see that he had tears in his eyes, and for a little time it fell down his cheeks, and he burned the sacrifice with a fixed expression, only then did he suddenly wake up and hurriedly wiped away his tears.

The green smoke curled on the incense case, Xuan Ye raised his eyes and stared at it for a moment, as if he had a lot of words in his heart and didn't know where to start, the more he couldn't calm down, he simply turned around to leave, and called to Manager Liang and said: "Immediately let people withdraw the incense here, Kunning Palace is heavy, how can you light the fire and burn incense without authorization, and the eunuchs and palace maids who clean here are all punished and replaced with new people." ”

"Huang Ama ......," the crown prince knelt heavily on the ground and said bitterly, "the son is wrong. ”

Xuan Ye looked at him indifferently: "I said, forgive you this time, don't make an example." You don't have to stand up for those minions, they can let you in privately, not necessarily let others in. ”

But Yinren was already in tears, crying and prostrate on the ground: "Huang Ama, the son is not wrong about this one, and there is more than this one, Huang Ama, it's good for you to listen to the son, can you listen to your son?" ”

Xuan Ye's heart was shocked, his deep eyes were soaked in sadness by the prince's tears, the father and son were deadlocked, and he finally responded heavily: "You say." ”

When the sunset hung in the sky, Lan Qi stood under the eaves of Yonghe Palace, listening to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tell the preparations for the birth of Queen Niu Hulu in a few days, and now she wants to hold a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, and the things in the palace are low-key. But she wouldn't have thought that the prince ran to Kunning Palace to pay tribute to his adoptive mother, and at this moment, when she thought of the princess's desperate and helpless tears, she couldn't feel at ease, what would Xuan Ye see?

"Niangniang, let's go into the house when the wind is stronger, since the prince has already talked to the emperor in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor will not come again tonight." Huanchun brought clothes to Lan Qi and put them on his shoulders, and persuaded him, "If you catch a cold, the emperor should be angry again." ”

Lan Qi said angrily: "I'm not waiting for him, the sunset is beautiful tonight, I just take a few more looks." Saying that, she turned around and went back to the house, Huanchun wanted to coax her to be happy, smiled and talked about the silver tickets during the day, and asked her why she didn't count, whether Ying Fujin would accidentally give less, she showed a little smile, and said, "She is not like me to see money, she came to me at a critical time to turnover, she is very good at living." ”

Huan Chun smiled: "Where did anyone say that they have eyes open when they see money?" ”

Lan Qi muttered sullenly, "I like to save money, and it's not a shameful thing." ”

The master and servant have a pair of jokes, but tonight's Yonghe Palace is really deserted, the sons don't come in a few times a month in the elder brother's house, Xiao Chen'er and Dun Ke were led by Wen Xian to the princess's mansion to play for a few days, so she was left alone to guard a room of female eunuchs.

During the day, Xuan Ye was still talking about him causing trouble, but now he wishes to be by his side, but now he is only accompanied by the breeze, and I am afraid that he will not be able to wait tonight.

But the people she wanted to see were also full of desire to see her, and when the emperor entered the door in the breeze in the night, Lan Qi was sitting cross-legged and playing chess pieces.

She was extremely bored, she had nothing to do to fill the entire chessboard with black and white children at intervals, just filled a plate and messed it up, and was about to separate them one by one, when she saw Xuan Ye standing under the lamp, she was stunned, and Xuan Ye smiled: "You said that the money you saved should be divided into half, and I will take it." ”
