"That year's palace banquet was held when my father and the emperor returned from a southward inspection with the imperial brother, and there were several officials who came back together, because of the long distance, they were all tired. ”

Xiao Zimu said about the southern tour, Yunluo has some impressions.

In the memory of the original owner, there was a great drought in the south of Beijiang that year, because of the insect plague caused by the drought, the south was almost no harvest, and even if the grain from the national treasury was used, the displaced people were still scattered, and many people died of starvation.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the emperor personally went south to pacify the people, so as not to affect the entire territory.

Xiao Zimu continued, "In the middle of the palace banquet, a few people went to the side hall to rest under the pretext of being tired. The palace people said that among those people, in addition to the imperial brother, there were also a few first-class officials and Tong Fan, the son of the left minister. ”

Hearing him mention Tong Fan, Yunluo's mind came to mind with the face of a gentleman, who looked quite good, but his character was not very good.

It is said that before he married a wife, he already had several concubines, not to mention a roommate.

There is nothing serious to do every day, just running in the teahouse tavern, listening to music, watching songs and dances.

Xiao Zimu raised his hand and pointed to the location of the side hall, "That's the side hall." ”

Yunluo looked in the direction of his finger, which was some distance from the main hall.

If you don't look at it, it's hard to notice it.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Xiao Zimu had lost his words, Yunluo looked up, "Your Highness finished speaking?"

Xiao Zimu quietly shifted her gaze the moment she looked over, nodded and said, "That's all I heard." ”

He saw that Yunluo had listened carefully just now, and asked out loud, "Why does the imperial sister-in-law want to know about the palace banquet?

He remembered that since she got married, she had never taken the initiative to enter the palace once.

Yun Luo fixed his eyes and looked at him, avoiding his question, "How does Your Highness know that I entered the palace today for this matter?"

She remembered that she had told him earlier that she was going to the palace to thank her.

Xiao Zimu thought that he had met her by chance when he told her before, and realized that he had slipped his mouth, and said vaguely, "How can I say that I am also a prince, of course there are my people in this palace." So I know it's not strange that you're entering the palace, right?"

"Your Highness seems to have paid too much attention to me. It is better to use this heart on the people who should be concerned. Yunluo said expressionlessly.

Xiao Zimu said stubbornly, "The imperial sister-in-law is too worried, I have a good relationship with the imperial brother, so I should naturally care about the imperial sister-in-law, and I just follow my own heart." ”

Yunluo couldn't see where he had a good relationship with Jiang Lingyan, and glanced at him indifferently, "Your Highness, can't you see the county lord's thoughts about you?"

Xiao Zimu asked rhetorically, "How can I see it, but what if I can't see it?"

Yunluo looked at him squarely, "I don't want to make enemies inexplicably because of His Highness's relationship. If Your Highness doesn't want to marry the county lord, then ask Your Highness to pull someone else's back, I don't like to be used as a shield. ”

"Do you think I brought you here just now to show the county lord?" Xiao Zimu understood the meaning of her words and said loudly.

Yunluo asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?, what you just said, you could have found another time to ask me to meet outside the palace, so you don't have to say it in front of the county lord, right?"

Xiao Zimu used this means to keep her because he cherished every opportunity to meet Yunluo.

But he couldn't say anything about this thought, so he could only follow her meaning and say, "Don't forget our original transaction, you help me ruin my marriage with Rong Xingwan, and I will help you keep it secret." ”

Yunluo saw that he moved out of this matter, and thought of the purpose of his coming today, so he didn't want to do much, didn't continue, and said goodbye, "Since I'm done, I'll go to the middle palace to thank you." ”

Xiao Zimu knew that the queen mother didn't like him to be too close to Yunluo, and in order not to make her embarrassed by the queen mother, the idea of going to ask for peace with her was also dispelled, and he could only watch her slowly disappear from his sight.

Yunluo went to the middle palace and said to the palace maid guarding the door, "Princess Yunluo of Yingchuan asks to see the queen, please report." ”

"The princess later. After bowing slightly, the palace maid went to the inner hall.

Came out after a moment, "Princess, please." ”

Yunluo followed her into the inner hall, the queen was sitting on the step and playing chess with other palace maids, she glanced at it, she didn't see Rong Xingwan, and thought that she had already left the palace.

When she got closer, she saluted, "Yunluo has seen the queen's mother, the mother's mother." ”

The queen replied lightly, "Hmm." Get up. ”

"Xie Niangniang. Yunluo stood up straight and said, "I was rescued from hunting a few days ago, and I should have entered the palace on the second day to thank him, but my foot injury didn't improve until today, so I missed the time, and I hope Your Majesty and Niangniang will not be blamed." ”

"It's good that you can have this heart. The queen glanced at her lightly, and suddenly changed the topic, "Xingwan also came just now, didn't you meet it?"

Yun Luomian replied without changing his color, "I met the county lord at the gate of the palace, but when I stepped into the inner palace, I remembered that the things I brought for my mother fell on the carriage." The courtiers went back to get the things, and it was not good to make the county lord wait, so it was only a little late. ”

Saying that, she took out the purse wrapped in the brocade and presented it, "Because I can't think of what to use as a thank you gift, the courtiers can only make some good things and present them to the mother, and I hope the mother will not dislike it." ”

The palace maid took the purse and handed it to the queen, she took it, and liked it just by looking at it.

Yunluo's purse is exquisitely made, she embroidered a phoenix on the white cloth with silver thread, how can she see nothing, but when she encounters the light, you can see the flashing phoenix, dazzling.

Although the queen likes it, she still remembers in her heart that when she was hunting, Zimu talked back to Her Majesty for her, so she naturally didn't want to give her a good look, showed a look of disgust, and handed the purse to the palace maid, "Put it in the back." ”

Although the queen's joy was only for a moment, Yunluo still captured it.

However, this purse is just an excuse for her to enter the palace, and she doesn't care much whether the queen likes it or not.

The queen turned her head and said in a faint voice, "But is there anything else?"

Yunluo thought that Xiao Zimu's conversation with her just now had bought Zhinian more time, and this should be almost done.

Therefore, Zhiqu retired, "There is nothing else to do, then Yunluo will not disturb the mother's rest, and retire first." ”

The queen didn't expect that she really came today just to say thank you, looked at her for a while, and said, "Go down, go back and think about what the way of being a woman is." ”

This is what she said a few days ago that she was going to reconcile, and Yun Luofu responded, "Xie Niangniang's teaching." ”

After speaking, he followed the palace maid out of the middle palace.

Out of the palace gate, she saw Zhinian waiting by the carriage, saw herself come out, and stepped forward to salute, "Princess." ”

Yunluo nodded her head and got into the carriage quietly, and Zhinian followed her into the carriage.

After the two were seated, the carriage went back.
