Because he wanted to enter the palace, Ye Mushi gave up his carriage to Ye Tanghua, but the coachman who drove the car was replaced by Qi Minzhi as his own guard, and in the face of Ye Yuanzhi's puzzlement, Qi Minzhi still smiled: "The lesson of the previous car, Ye Gong forgot?"

Ye Yuanzhi heard Qi Minzhi mention this, and then remembered the robbery of Ye Mushi and Ye Tanghua a few days ago, and couldn't help blushing, and snorted: "The prince is very changeable, but the lower officials are not thoughtful."

Ye Tanghua saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but sneer again.

Qi Minzhi originally came in his own carriage, but not long after leaving, Ye Tanghua only felt that the curtain of the car was lifted, and then Qi Minzhi got in, and she was so frightened that she exclaimed: "What is the prince doing?"

"Don't worry, I deliberately took a long detour, no one can see it, and I'll change back when I get to the palace gate." Qi Minzhi's eyes bent, and he smiled extremely cunningly.

"Hmph, it's a good time, since the prince is here, please give Tanghua an explanation about today's matter, what is going on with this queen mother's summons" Ye Tanghua raised her eyebrows and sneered.

Qi Minzhi was stunned for a moment, and touched his nose in a daze: "Actually, I came to you last night for this matter, but I forgot about it in the end."

"The prince is putting the cart before the horse, it's too exaggerated," Ye Tanghua couldn't get angry when she saw Qi Minzhi's appearance, and she couldn't wait to scratch him with her hands all over her face, and help until the end, the more she helped, the more she helped, the queen mother summoned and framed Aunt Li, that is a matter of one level, Aunt Li framed, she suffered at most; The Queen Mother summoned her, and if she didn't get it right, her life would be ruined

"I—Didn't I mean it, besides, I still did you so much of a favor If I didn't come yesterday, you wouldn't know the news of entering the palace, and you wouldn't even be able to hide from today's frame-up" Qi Minzhi glanced away with another eye, and said with some humility.

"Lord, are you really stupid for me, if the Queen Mother wants to summon me on a whim, will you let me enter the palace, do you dare to say that it is not because you mentioned me to the Queen Mother, that the Queen Mother remembered that there is such a person as me" Ye Tanghua was even more angry when she saw this, and pinched Qi Minzhi's arm with her dead hand.

Qi Minzhi hissed and dodged a little: "How can you girl even if I take care of it, you don't have to be so ruthless."

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't have a long memory, and I am really a bully" Ye Tanghua just sneered, turned her head away from him, and thought about the reason why the Queen Mother passed her into the palace.

Qi Minzhi saw that Ye Tanghua was really angry, and couldn't help but be a little worried, what if this little girl really ignored him in the future, he had to pull down his face and lean over: "Little rabbit, I was wrong, I was wrong, for the sake of me helping you so much, don't be angry with me."

"What qualifications do I have to be angry about the identity of the prince, what am I" Ye Tanghua closed her eyes and twisted her head farther.

Qi Minzhi couldn't, and he made a small fuge to compensate for the sin for a long time, which can be regarded as coaxing Ye Tanghua to change her mind.

Qi Min's heart was relieved, and he was about to take advantage of the moment to explain a few words to Ye Tanghua about the things that should be paid attention to in front of the Queen Mother, when he suddenly saw the carriage stop, and the voice of the guard sounded outside: "Lord, it's almost time to the palace, see if you come out first"

Qi Minzhi's face suddenly froze, and while Ye Tanghua didn't know what to do, he frowned and pushed him: "Don't let people see when you go out." ”

"You are careful in everything" Qi Minzhi couldn't, so he could only hurriedly get out of Ye Tanghua's carriage and return to his car, crying and laughing in his heart, could he delay things a little longer

After walking for a short time, he arrived at the gate of the palace, Qi Min got off the carriage and led Ye Tanghua directly to the harem, and called a little eunuch to instruct: "You go to Cining Palace to pass on a message, and say that this king will announce that Miss Ye will enter the palace by the order of the Queen Mother, and you will arrive later." ”

The little eunuch took the order and hurriedly went, although he was surrounded by his own people at this time, Qi Minzhi still didn't dare to say even a word to Ye Tanghua, the palace was full of eyeliner, although he was not afraid, it would not be good if he was tired of the little rabbit.

After entering the range of the harem, he walked for about a stick of incense and arrived at Cining Palace, because Qi Minzhi had passed the qi earlier, there was already a little eunuch waiting in front at this time, and when he saw Qi Minzhi, he hurriedly greeted him and gave a salute: "The slave has seen the prince, and I have seen Miss Ye." ”

"My father-in-law is polite." Ye Tanghua looked at the crimson eunuch robe on this person's body, and knew that it must be the big eunuch who had to be used in front of the queen mother.

Ye Tanghua expected it to be good, this eunuch is Xia Changshou, the chief eunuch next to the Queen Mother, Xia Changshou has been serving by the Queen Mother's side for thirty or forty years, Shengsheng has become a big eunuch since he was a child, and he thinks that he has seen a lot of noble girls, he naturally thinks of himself as a slave from time to time, but those noble girls don't care if they are worthy of it, most of them directly accept his gifts, it is really rare to respect him like Ye Tanghua, it is really rare for Xia Changshou to have a very good impression of Ye Tanghua, and he also said in his heart that so many royal relatives and nobles like this little girl, after all, people understand etiquette.

Xia Changshou turned a thousand times in his heart and did not delay his efforts, and waved the dust with a smile: "Miss Ye is polite, the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager and the Princesses have been waiting inside for a long time, Miss Ye go in quickly." ”

Ye Tanghua was taken aback when she heard this, didn't she say that the queen mother summoned her, why did the emperor, queen, concubines, and princes all form a group in the Qi family to watch her, when she is a rare bird and beast

Frightened, Ye Tanghua also knew that this was the news that Xia Changshou deliberately revealed to her, she couldn't look up when she entered the main hall of Cining Palace, if she didn't know who was in it at the moment, she wouldn't make jokes when she asked for peace, and if she met someone who made things difficult for her, it would be difficult to get along.

This is Xia Changshou selling her favor, no matter whether Xia Changshou repays the favor or hopes that she will reciprocate the peach, she can't help but express it, so she took out a gold coin from her cuff and secretly wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it over: "Father-in-law Xie pointed out, a little meaning, father-in-law and play with it." ”

Seeing this, Xia Changshou looked at Qi Min's silent appearance, and knew that this King Yong'an had the intention to pretend not to see it, so he swept the hand that received the thing with a whisk of dust, and took it and weighed it and knew that it was gold, and the weight was not light, and he smiled: "How dare the slave take Miss Ye's thanks, please share it, the prince and Miss Ye, please." ”

Ye Tanghua smiled at him and walked in behind Qi Minzhi.

After entering the palace gate and walking with a cup of tea, he arrived at the main hall of Cining Palace, and as usual, Qi Minzhi went first to greet a few words, saying that Ye Tanghua had arrived, and Ye Tanghua stayed outside the hall and waited for the summons.

After a while, a little eunuch came out and said, "The Queen Mother Xuanye is here."

Ye Tanghua took a deep breath, showed a slight smile on her face, slightly straightened her clothes, lowered her head slightly, walked in calmly, walked in calmly, walked to the middle of the main hall of Cining Palace, and knelt down: "The courtier Ye Tanghua sees the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen, the Prince, all the mothers, may the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen, the Prince, and all the mothers be happy."

As soon as Ye Tanghua finished asking for peace, she heard a woman on the side laugh and said: "This girl is so good-looking, it's strange that I have always heard Princess Wenle talk about it recently." ”

Another younger woman interjected: "Isn't it, this girl's appearance is a little bit like Mrs. Ye's appearance." ”

I heard the Queen Mother say again: "That's natural, after all, it's Ning'er's daughter." Arise and sit down. ”

When Ye Tanghua heard this, she got up and blessed again: "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." ”

While speaking, the little eunuch had already moved a small stool up, Ye Tanghua glanced at the stool, and then sat down on the stool diagonally, about one-third of the stool, this posture can make the upper body upright and straight, and her posture is more and more elegant.

The Queen Mother saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but praise it again in her heart, not to mention anything else, Ye Tanghua's rules and manners are very good, compared to some palace concubines, it is better than that, in the end, she grew up in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and this etiquette rule has no choice

Seeing that the queen mother's impression of Ye Tanghua is very good, the queen is a little unhappy in her heart, except for the day of the old banquet, she only thinks about choosing the woman she likes to be the princess, so she clicked on the top list of the princess according to her own mind, but after returning to the palace, she pondered it and felt that it was wrong, and chose three women, two of whom were related to the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, and her daughter-in-law must be towards the queen mother when she marries in the future, isn't she adding to herself

The queen came today, not to see Ye Tanghua, but to prevent Ye Tanghua from winning the eyes of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was happy to really point her to the prince as a concubine.

Qi Jingzhi watched from the side, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and smiled indifferently: "I didn't feel it when I knelt just now, but now when I sit up, I look like it's really like my cousin when I was a child, and I have an extra rouge mole, which is a lot more pretty." ”

Ye Tanghua smiled slightly, and bent over at Qi Jingzhi: "The emperor has praised it falsely, and the courtiers dare not be it." ”

"Okay, they are all their own relatives, don't make these false courtesies, the mourning family didn't ask Tang'er to enter the palace just to listen to your politeness, the emperor thinks so" The queen mother smiled, and her eyebrows were kind.

"What the queen mother said is that everyone here is a relative, so why bother with that, if Tang'er says those things again, my cousin will be annoyed." Qi Jingzhi smiled and followed the Queen Mother's words, but many people in the house were surprised, how could this Ye Tanghua be a mere scholar, how could she be worthy of the emperor to give her face like this, and the emperor himself took the initiative to say that it was Ye Tanghua's relatives, which was very different from the meaning of Ye Tanghua's own relatives

"Uncle cousin, don't worry, Tang'er doesn't dare." Ye Tanghua was startled at first, and then smiled and recognized it, although she didn't know the emperor's intentions, but since the emperor had the heart to promote her, why should she be stubborn and brush the emperor's face

There is the queen mother in front of her, and the emperor will not calculate her by climbing relatives, and the emperor admits that she is a relative, which can be regarded as giving her an extra layer of protection.
