Shu Shu was nervous, but the emperor's hand had already reached out, and she couldn't avoid it.

Xuan Ye gently pulled down her bangs to cover the scar, and then pushed the hairpin on Shu Shu's head and said, "The hairpin is loose, you are wearing a hairpin on horseback, it is inconvenient and dangerous, don't wear it next time." ”

Shu Shu clearly felt that Xuan Ye moved her bangs, but he said something else lightly, the girl who had been plagued by this scar since she was a child couldn't figure out for a while whether the emperor disliked her or whether she protected her.

But she knew very well in her heart that the emperor made her the queen, which did not mean that he did not dislike her scar, because even if he disliked it, for the sake of the country, he could only choose himself, Shu Shu unconsciously lowered his head.

"Are you angry?" Xuan Ye said, "Look at what you did just now, if you fall, you still have a hairpin on your head, how dangerous is it?" I'm not blaming you, I'm worried about you. ”

Shu Shu's heart relaxed and smiled: "Yes, the concubine wrote it down." ”

So the guards in front led the horse, and the two walked slowly side by side, Xuan Ye asked Shu Shu who he used to learn to ride a horse with, and told each other something about his childhood, Xuan Ye asked her: "Pomegranate is my mother's person, will you feel uncomfortable staying by your side?" ”

Shu Shu said: "The concubine's dowry is too young, and the people in Kunning Palace are not familiar with it, but things inside and outside need people to advocate Luo, and Pomegranate is a person who can be trusted by concubines." ”

Xuan Ye said: "That's good, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me generously, let's arrange it." ”

Shu Shu promised: "If there is really that day, the concubine will definitely come to tell you." ”

Xuan Ye said: "Everything is easy to discuss, either with the imperial grandmother, or with me, the Forbidden City will be your home in the future, in your own home, don't be polite, live happily." ”

Shu Shuwaner: "The concubines have all been recorded." ”

Xuan Ye said again: "At the age of you and me, it should be a time to play around all day long, but since you have become the supreme in the world, you and I must be responsible." ”

"Yes." Shu Shu agreed.

"I've wronged you." Xuan Ye said, "There will be a lot of things that I can't help myself in the future, and so will I. ”

In the evening of this day, the emperor's guard of honor returned from the outskirts of the city, arrived at the Nanyuan Palace, and stayed in Nanyuan tonight, and stayed for two more days.

From an outsider's point of view, it seems that the grandparents and grandchildren just want to go out for a walk, but Yu'er plans to use these two days to discuss the case of John Tang with Aobai.

The grandparents and grandchildren discussed it early in the morning, don't show nervousness and worry, it should be regarded as an ordinary thing, and if it is done, it will not collapse if it does not become a day.

In this way, after Xuan Ye arrived in Nanyuan, after his grandmother and grandmother had settled down, he took the big plum around the island, remembered the injured Ling Zhao, and went straight to her residence.

The emperor's sudden arrival surprised Ling Zhao, who suppressed the joy in his heart and responded to Xuan Ye's question in a proper manner.

"If it hurts badly, you have to declare the Imperial Doctor, don't bear it." Xuan Ye said, "Be careful next time." ”

Ling Zhao heard the emperor say "next time", whether it was casually or really looking forward to the next time, at least it was a comfort in her heart.

Hearing that the emperor and queen had been together all day, she was indescribably disappointed, and the gap between the concubines was slowly widened after all. It's like fate, it shouldn't be hers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the concubine is fine." Ling Zhao responded, and after a little hesitation, he took the initiative to ask Xuan Ye, "Can the emperor have fun today?" ”

Xuan Ye said: "It's inevitable that I can't go hunting, but it doesn't matter, it'll be fine in a few years, after all, we are still children." ”

Ling Zhao plucked up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, in the future, the concubines are willing to go hunting and riding horses with you." ”

Xuan Ye nodded: "Okay, it's lively when there are many people." ”

As she was talking, the Empress Dowager sent someone to bring food, worried about Ling Zhao's wounds, and asked her to rest well.

Xuan Ye said: "The imperial grandmother is still waiting for me to eat, and I will come to see ...... tomorrow."

Before Xuan Ye's words were finished, the ground under his feet trembled, followed by the tables, chairs, cabinets, beams and roofs, all shaking violently, and someone outside shouted: "Earthquake, it's an earthquake......"

"Let's go!" Xuan Ye grabbed Lingzhao, ran out of the door with her, ran to an open place, the tremor slowed down slightly, and then he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and a large glazed tile on the roof fell with a bang.

Broken tiles splashed everywhere, Ling Zhao exclaimed, but as soon as she turned around, she was held in Xuan Ye's arms, protecting her body, and the young man's firm voice was in her ears: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

"Your Majesty? Emperor? ”

"Escort, come and escort."

More and more people rushed over, the earth no longer trembled, and the tiles no longer fell, Xuan Ye let go of Ling Zhao and immediately ran towards his grandmother's palace, asking along the way: "Is the imperial grandmother injured, is anyone injured?" ”

The earthquake happened suddenly, fortunately it was not the middle of the night, everyone ran out in time, Xuan Ye was anxious to find the imperial grandmother, Yu'er was also anxious to find Xuan Ye, and seeing that each other was safe and sound, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xuan Ye, the Gyeonggi area will inevitably be affected, and if we want to immediately order someone to investigate the disaster, we must return to the Forbidden City immediately." Yu'er said calmly, "Natural disasters are prevented, but the imperial court can't leave the people alone." ”

"Yes." Xuan Ye responded, and then asked his mother-in-law if she was injured, and when she saw Shu Shu by the Queen Mother's side, she knew that she was fine, so she didn't care about it, and immediately set off to return to the Forbidden City.

After the earthquake, the torrential rain was like a note, and the capital was not peaceful all night, who knew that the next day when the sky was bright, the mountain shook again, Xuan Ye ran from the Qianqing Palace to Cining Palace in the rain, Yu'er saw the wet grandson, and was relieved and distressed.

"Imperial grandmother, John Tang said to his grandson that after the earthquake, there will be continuous aftershocks, and it is impossible to prevent it. Don't go back to your dormitory these days. Xuan Ye said, "Set up a tent in an open place, and be grieved for a few days just in case, and my grandson will also set up a tent in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace." ”

So, the palace people set up tents in the garden in front of Cining Palace, and Yu'er took the queen mother and all the harems of Fulin Xuanye to take refuge here temporarily.

What is frightening is that after five consecutive days of aftershocks, most houses in the Gyeonggi area were damaged, and the number of casualties continued to increase.

When everything is stable, Yu'er will move back to Cining Palace, and it will be seven days later. Although the Forbidden City is not devastated, there are countless places to be repaired, which is worrying.

Yu'er ordered the Ministry of Industry not to repair the palace for the time being, and sent more people to the capital and Gyeonggi to help local officials help the people.

These days, no one is at peace, maybe only one person, and his heart is always warm.

Ling Zhao can't forget, at the critical moment, Xuan Ye grabbed her hand and ran out, and he couldn't forget that when he was panicked and scared, he hugged himself and said don't be afraid.

The strength of the emperor's arms, and the warmth of his chest, remained in his body.

"Miss, what are you happy about?" Dong Yun went to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the monthly ordinance and returned, and said with a smile, "Today is the day when the slave and maid receive the monthly rule, and the slave and maid don't dare to be happy, everyone says, but whenever there is a big event in the court, you can't laugh." ”

Ling Zhao hurriedly restrained his smile: "I didn't smile, it's okay." ”

Dong Yun said: "Some of the little eunuchs in the palace who can be carpenters are very popular now, and they are repairing houses everywhere, and I don't know when someone will come to pick us up." The tiles of the east side hall are all gone, bare, and it looks very scary. ”

"It'll be okay, the emperor naturally has to take care of the people first, the Forbidden City is so big, can we still have a place to live?" Ling Zhao said, walked to the door, looked at the yard, and said, "In the spring next year, we will plant more flowers and plants in the yard and see that it will be more prosperous." ”

Dong Yun said: "They all said that Yikun Palace has good feng shui. ”

Ling Zhao smiled: "It's just a compliment." ”

Dongyun nodded: "If you want to say that feng shui is good, it is still Jingren Palace." ”

Ling Zhao shook his head: "It's because of Empress Xiaokang that it has become a treasure land of feng shui, not that place has made Empress Xiaokang, as for my ......" She walked into the courtyard, looked up and down the palace, and muttered to herself: "Whether it can achieve Yikun Palace, who knows." ”

"Miss, the emperor ...... that day" Dongyun walked up.

"Have you ever told others that the emperor pulled me to hold me that day?" Ling Zhao came to his senses and asked, "Did you say that?" ”

Dong Yun hurriedly shook his head: "The slave is measured, miss, how can this be said casually to people, it seems that you are frivolous." ”

Ling Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, don't tell anyone." ”

"But ......," Dongyun said embarrassedly, "many people saw it that day, and the slave didn't say it, but I was afraid that others would say it too." ”

Ling Zhao's heart chuckled: "Will the queen know?" ”

Of course, Shu Shu will know that there are four palace maids she married, although Shu Shu said that they are young, but they are older than Shu Shu anyway, and they are carefully selected and cultivated in the Hesheri Mansion, and the purpose of their entry into the palace is to be the eyes and ears of the master, even if they are not seen with their own eyes, they must be able to hear it.

This matter had already passed through the mouths of other palace maids and reached their ears, and naturally it reached Shu Shu, she didn't think so, and didn't say anything at that time.

But on the day when he moved back to Kunning Palace from the tent, Pomegranate served the little queen to sleep, Shu Shu sat in the bed, and ordered the other palace maids to retreat, leaving Pomegranate alone.

"Is there something that Niangniang wants to tell the slave maid?" Pomegranate took the initiative to ask.

"Auntie, I want to get rid of the four palace maids who are married, and then choose another suitable person to take their place. There are so many people in Kunning Palace, there are really four fewer people, and it doesn't hinder anything. Shu Shu said, "But they didn't do anything wrong, I think they can continue to live peacefully after they leave the palace, you see, can there be any way to arrange." ”

Pomegranate knelt on her footsteps and asked cautiously, "Niangniang, what happened, can you tell the slave?" ”

At the time of the earthquake, Xuan Ye's protection of Niu Hulu Lingzhao made Shu Shu feel jealous, but what she was afraid of was not Lingzhao, let alone Xuan Ye, but those who stayed by her side.

"It's worth making a fuss about them, the wind and grass in the harem, the emperor's favor for any concubine has become a big deal, and you have to send a message home in a hurry, how is this good?" Shu Shu said, "I can't do it." ”
