Chapter 114: Prince An Asks to See (1st Update)
After hearing the news, the queen's heart was not at ease, and after breakfast, she took people to the place where Chu Yuan was.
Chu Yuan and Xiao Chengmo were still in their own dormitory at this time, because Xiao Chengmo finally stopped asking to go out of the palace today, and Chu Yuan had free time to accompany him.
When the queen came here, Chu Yuan was gesturing with Xiao Chengmo outside the hall with a sword.
"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you!" Seeing the queen coming, the sharp-eyed Lin An hurriedly went over to report to Chu Yuan.
"The queen is here, let her come!" So the two men put away their swords, sat down at the stone table in the shade of the trees beside them, drank a cup of tea, and waited for the queen to come.
"The concubine sees the emperor!" Zuo Xiyun came over here and looked at Xiao Chengmo and Chu Yuan sitting here together, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he bowed to Chu Yuan in time to say goodbye, covering the look in his eyes.
"The queen is here, but what's the matter?" Chu Yuan put down the teacup, looked at Zuo Xiyun and asked lightly.
Zuo Xiyun first glanced at Xiao Chengmo, who was sitting calmly, Xiao Chengmo noticed her gaze, pursed her lips and smiled, and got up leisurely, "I've seen the queen mother!"
"Su Gongzi doesn't have to be polite!" Xiao Chengmo can still know this bit of etiquette, Zuo Xiyun's heart is a little comforted, and the original harsh criticism is not good to attack again, "Master Su, this palace has something to discuss with the emperor, please avoid it for a while!"
"Oh?" Xiao Chengmo smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Okay, then I'll go inside first!"
After speaking, Xiao Chengmo raised his feet and walked towards the main hall, Chu Yuan looked at his back and shook his head with a smile, then retracted his gaze, looked at Zuo Xiyun and said, "The queen has something to sit down and talk about!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zuo Xiyun smiled gently, blessed his body, and sat down on the other side of Chu Yuan.
Sitting here alone with Chu Yuan, he thought about the words all the way when he came, and he should have said it naturally, but Zuo Xiyun still hesitated, and after observing Chu Yuan's emotions, he hesitated and said with some caution: "Your Majesty, the emperor's death day is coming, and you will go to the emperor's temple to worship from tomorrow morning, and the concubine has thought that it is a little inappropriate for Su Gongzi to be alone in this palace for the past three days, so ......"
"Oh?" Chu Yuan responded lightly, and after thinking about it, he will arrive at the Imperial Temple early tomorrow morning, the place where the Emperor's Temple enshrines the tablets of the previous emperors, that is the only place he can enter, so Xiao Chengmo is really going to be alone.
"So, what does the queen mean?" Chu Yuan didn't know what Zuo Xiyun meant by saying this for the time being, so he quietly asked her opinion.
"Your Majesty, although the concubines don't know what the emperor's arrangements are, it is no longer appropriate for Prince Su to live in the palace, let alone live with you. The emperor and the concubines thought that it would be most appropriate to arrange a courtyard in the nearest place outside the palace and place Su Gongzi there! Simply, Zuo Xiyun didn't say any other reasons, for this unreasonable thing, she clearly put forward her opinion for the first time.
"Queen......" Chu Yuan was a little distressed, no one had ever mentioned this matter, and the queen was very concerned about this at this time, which made him a little puzzled, "Okay, I know, I will arrange it." ”
Chu Yuan This is not a compromise with the queen, it is really that he went to the Imperial Temple early tomorrow morning, and he will definitely not return to the palace in the past three days, and he can't rest assured that Xiao Chengmo will stay in the palace alone, but there is a place outside the palace that is very close to the Imperial Temple, and he can rest assured that Xiao Chengmo will be placed there.
"Then bother the emperor!" Zuo Xiyun smiled gently, the burden in her heart at this moment was suddenly lightened, but she didn't obviously show happiness, just nodded generously and decently.
After Zuo Xiyun left, Chu Yuan returned to the hall and saw Xiao Chengmo sitting on the couch in the center of the hall, drinking tea and eating pastries, looking leisurely.
"The queen is leaving?" Xiao Chengmo raised his eyes, glanced at Chu Yuan, and asked casually.
"The queen said something that is not important, but it makes me a little confused, but because of this, it suddenly reminds me that it is better to place you earlier." Chu Yuan came to Xiao Chengmo's side and sat down, looked at Xiao Chengmo's hand and had bitten half of the pastry, and directly leaned over and ate the half of the pastry into his mouth.
"Place me? Why? Xiao Chengmo didn't mind Chu Yuan's behavior, he was happy that Chu Yuan could be so close to him, but what Chu Yuan said made him a little confused.
"It's only three days before the death of the emperor, and I'm going to go to the emperor's temple to burn incense and worship in these three days, but I'm afraid that I will stay there at night and can't go back to the palace. The queen just talked about this matter, saying that you are only afraid that it will be inappropriate for you to live alone in this middle palace, and she wants me to give you a good place to go. Chu Yuan smiled, hugged Xiao Chengmo's waist from behind, rested his head on his shoulder, and said with a hint of bad intentions.
"Yes!" Chu Yuan didn't understand what the queen meant for a while, but Xiao Chengmo understood it all of a sudden, it seemed that this queen was really a smart woman, and she seemed to have sensed something about the matter between the two of them.
"I thought about it, very close to the Imperial Temple, there is a courtyard, that is when I was still the prince, I bought a house outside, because the architectural style in the courtyard is very special, the scenery inside is quiet, I think you will like it." Chu Yuan didn't care what Xiao Chengmo was thinking, his mood was very relaxed when he talked about this.
"Okay, I naturally don't have any opinions, and besides, I'm going to leave in the next few days, so it's good to change places!" Xiao Chengmo smiled leisurely and stretched out a hand to shake Chu Yuan's palm.
Just when the atmosphere of the two people's places was warm and charming, there was a notice outside, saying that Prince An had come to ask for a meeting.
"It's finally here!" Chu Yuan smiled deeply, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and that smile was full of evil energy.
"I'll avoid it first, you talk first!" Although Xiao Chengmo was curious about Prince An, it was inconvenient for him to be present on such an occasion, but it was okay to secretly hide behind the screen and observe.
After getting Chu Yuan's consent, Prince An quickly walked in, and from the moment he stepped into this palace, Prince An's mood was complicated. The previous owner of this imperial palace was Yufeng, but a few years ago, he passed away from here.
Prince An smiled a little bitterly, but tried his best to make himself look fine, after entering the main hall, he saw the figure sitting proudly in the center of the hall, and couldn't help but be stunned.
This kind of Chu Yuan is very similar to the high-spirited and extraordinary demeanor of the royal wind back then, and his posture and eyes are so similar, he is just like a person. However, Prince An did not admit them wrong, because the royal wind had never looked at him with such contempt or arrogance and mockery.
