When she left the dark room, her eyes were covered by a black veil. Ye Qiu helped her and led her step by step.

"Walking outside, Miss Wei only needs to remember that she has been driving with Zhengyang Palace for the past twenty-five days. If anyone dares to question, Miss Wei only needs to put pressure on the queen, and the queen will send her away. Ye Qiu said.

"Why does the Queen Mother want to help me?" The slave's tone pretended to be flat, pretending not to care, but secretly surprised.

So far, she still doesn't know who this Yi An is, and she can move out of the queen to be a shield for her. It seems that Yi An just looks indifferent on the outside, but his mind is still very detailed.

"You don't have to know so much." Ye Qiu's tone was still cold.

The footsteps stopped, and Ye Qiu took off the blindfolded black veil. The slave, who hadn't seen the sun for a long time, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with such light. She squinted and raised her hand to shield herself from the harsh light. After getting used to it a little, the slave turned his head to look at Ye Qiu.

The light in the dark room was very dim, and it wasn't until in this light that she really saw Ye Qiu's appearance. Her facial features are delicate, and there is only a jade comb pinned between her buns. The whole person, like her voice, revealed a sense of alienation.

"Ye Qiu, will I see you again in the palace in the future?"

Xu didn't expect the slave to ask like this, Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's not necessarily a good thing to see me. Leave. ”

With that, Ye Qiu simply turned around and walked into the secret passage of the dark room again. The exit and entrance of the secret passage are not the same, this place is very open, and there is no desolation and dilapidation at the entrance, only two steps have been taken, and then someone appeared, "County Lord, the room of Zhengyang Palace has been prepared." ”

Seeing that the slave was a little puzzled, the person who came was slightly blessed, "Zhengyang Palace knows that I have seen the county lord." ”

When Nu'er really stepped into Zhengyang Palace for the first time, when she finally stopped sitting in Zhu Yun's pavilion and looked at the palace from afar, Nu'er's mood was a little uneasy. She knew that the alien queen of Zhengyang Palace was from the grassland, and her style was low-key, and she rarely stepped out of Zhengyang Palace, and she didn't even attend the last Qiongguang banquet.

She had deliberately inquired about this incomparably noble Mother of Great Xia. She is the only daughter of the king of the steppe, and a large part of the reason why the saint was able to ascend the throne smoothly was because compared to other princes, his princess had the most powerful mother's family, and he had not only a princess, but also the largest force on the twenty grasslands, a power that could compete with a big country.

Over the years, although Emperor Rong's concubine has not faded, the newcomers in the harem have appeared and disappeared one after another. But there is still no one who can shake the position of the queen, although she does not leave the house, although she is dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, but she is sitting firmly in the position of the mother of the Great Xia country. In Nu'er's opinion, even if the eighth son of the emperor Dongli Yuyang's biological mother is favored, even if the sixth son of the emperor Dongli Mingrui is talented, even if the prince of the East Palace has no political achievements, but what is it, as long as the queen is still the queen, the position of the prince will not change after all.

Therefore, she has a heart of reverence for the queen. She wanted to see what kind of woman could afford to be the mother of the Great Xia country, and she could hold the power in her hands and not fall behind others. She is here to watch, but also to learn.

Walking into the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, the slave suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression, she stepped forward and bowed to the figure above, "The courtiers meet the queen, the queen is a thousand years old!" ”

The queen raised her hand slightly, "Excuse me, give a seat." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." The slave sat down, and she finally got to see the queen who lived in people's mouths. The saying is better than seeing it, and this is exactly what it says. The queen is different from the beauty of Emperor Rong's concubine, she wears a vermilion phoenix robe, a dark cloud pattern black shawl, a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, and slightly raised eyebrows. She folded her hands on her thighs, dignified and majestic. Her beauty is hidden under this majesty, and her slightly heroic flamboyance can attract the attention of others.

"Zhiyi has explained everything to you?" The queen lightly opened her lips and asked lightly.

"These days, it is a blessing for a courtier to accompany Niangniang to copy Buddhist scriptures in Zhengyang Palace and thank God for his kindness." The queen was very satisfied with Nu'er's words, she nodded slightly, and said, "The Buddhist scriptures you copied are very good, how about this palace reward you with a jade-faced smiling Buddha?" ”

The slave got up, "The courtier Xie Niangniang rewarded." ”

"The county lord is smart, and he must understand the truth of saying the right thing at the right time and doing the right thing." The queen held her forehead, looking a little tired, "The palace is tired, if you have nothing to do, you will retreat first." ”

"The courtiers retired." The slave withdrew from the palace and happened to meet the prince who came to greet him. She saluted, "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The prince stopped, looked the slave up and down, and said with a smile, "Lord Mingjia recently copied Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother and prayed for blessings, and it was hard work. ”

The slave looked at the prince, he spoke very politely and sincerely. Unlike other princes, who always give people a sense of distance, this future prince gives people a sense of approachability. The slave couldn't figure out whether the prince really didn't know or pretended on purpose, she still smiled and admitted, "It's a blessing for a courtier to be able to help Niangniang copy Buddhist scriptures, how can there be hard work?" ”

"Having said that, the county lord still has to pay attention to his body and don't be too tired." The prince made a flat gesture, "The queen mother is still waiting for me, be careful on the road of the county lord." ”

The slave bowed his head and saluted, "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

It's the end of December, and it's about to pass the New Year. The snow in Shengjing has not stopped for a day, and a thick layer of snow has been piled up on the ground. Fortunately, Zhiyi prepared a sedan chair to save her from rushing.

However, the sedan chair did not send the slave back to Zhuyun Tower, but sent her to the gate of another palace. The slave got off the sedan chair and looked up at the plaque at the gate, on which three words were written arrogantly and domineeringly, "Changqing Palace".

"County Lord!" Fang Gu heard the movement and hurriedly rushed out of the back room.

Nu'er asked, "How is it Changqing Palace?" ”

Fang Gu helped the slave into the house and explained, "The saint heard that the county lord went to Zhengyang Palace to accompany the queen to worship the Buddha, and he couldn't help but praise the county lord's virtue and quality. It is hereby ordered that the county lord move to the Changqing Palace to live, and also let the Internal Affairs Office send six eunuchs and six palace maids. ”

"This Changqing Palace is much better than Zhu Yunlou. The Queen Mother is happy to be quiet, and the construction of Shoukang Palace is deep, and Zhu Yunlou is next to Shoukang Palace, which is naturally not better than the Changqing Palace adjacent to Longyang Palace. It is separated by two roads from Longyang Palace, and it is a good place for many concubines to beg for it. ”

Walking into the back room, there were two palace maids cleaning inside, and Aunt Fang beckoned them to come over and introduce, "The county lord has not returned, and the slave maid saw that these two girls were dexterous, so they temporarily brought them into the palace to serve." One is called Dayu and the other is called Xiaoyu. ”

The slave looked at Da Yu and Xiao Yu, although Da Yu's name is Da Yu, he is actually thinner, and Xiao Yu is taller. She thought for a while and said, "This name is not good, why don't you call the big jade Youruo and the little jade called Xinmei, how about it?" ”

The two of them happily agreed, "Lord Xie gives the name!" ”

"Stand down." Nu'er waved her hand, and after the two of them left, she sat down with a tired face, she took a sip of hot tea, and said without being salty or light, "It seems that I am not in these days, and a lot of things have happened." Tell me who was the first to come to me when I didn't come home on the first night? But my good sister, Lu Yinhua? ”

Fang Gu nodded, "Exactly." ”
