readx;? The night was dark, and Gu Qingming was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke:

"From tonight onwards, your master is Yun Yao, I want you to secretly protect her and keep her safe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe palace is dangerous and complicated, and I don't know when I will return...... I don't want anything to happen to her. ”

"But Childe...... It is our responsibility to keep you safe. Gu Chen replied, "The general's heavy burden is on his shoulders when it comes to going south, and he is traveling with Yang Yushi, so my subordinates are afraid that they will ......."

"Do as I tell you, I'll be careful, but if she's not safe in the palace, I won't be at ease outside. Although Gu Qingming's voice was very small, it was very firm.

Gu Chen knew Gu Qingming's character, and said nothing, after hearing this, even if he was unwilling, he could only clasp his fists towards Gu Qingming, take the order, and then fly away and go to the deep court.

In this world, no one knows about Gu Chen's existence, because he has been hiding in the shadows, he is a sharp sword of Gu Qingming, every time Gu Qingming is in danger, Gu Chen will appear to help Gu Qingming get out of danger. But he never showed up, and in everyone's hearts, Gu Qingming became a mythical existence.

Although Gu Qingming's martial arts are very high, if he didn't have Gu Chen's secret help, he wouldn't be able to get out of danger every time.

And now, he personally sent this sword hidden behind him to Yun Yao's side, becoming the umbrella of Yun Yao's side, when he was not in the capital, he could at least guarantee Yun Yao's safety.

After all, the long night passed, and the moment the morning light spread on the ground, Gu Qingming opened the door. He was dressed in a military uniform, and as he did every time he went to march and fight, he gathered part of the army to escort Yang Yushi and Sun Taicang to the south, and waited at the city gate.

And Yun Yao in the palace had already gotten up, and after cleaning up, she went to wait for Rong Ya to get up, and then accompanied Rong Ya back to the Hehuan Palace.

Just after Rong Ya returned to the Hehuan Palace, the rumor that the queen mother was favored by the emperor spread all over the palace in an instant, and even reached the ears of Aunt Jinxiu, and of course, it also spread to the palaces of various concubines.

"Sister Yun Yao, you don't have to go to say hello to the Queen Mother today, let me sleep a little longer. Rong Ya didn't look awake, squinted her eyes and threw herself on the bed, muttering, "The emperor's cousin also got up too early, did he have to go to the early court so early?"

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor gets up so early every day. Yun Yao said, "If the mother is really sleepy, let's sleep for a while, but according to the rules, on the day I stay in the emperor's bedroom, I really want to go to the queen mother to ask for thanks." But ......"

"But what?" Rong Ya listened to Yun Yao's words and suddenly became puzzled.

"But Niangniang, you were not favored by the emperor, you just went to Changming Palace to sleep. Yun Yao said.

"What do you mean to be favored by the emperor?" Rong Ya asked one question after another, and this one question was thrown out, which suddenly made Yun Yao not know how to answer.

"I'll explain this to you later. Yun Yao said, "Niangniang, don't you still want to sleep for a while? Hurry up and rest, during the day, take the time to go to Jianzhang Palace, talk to the Queen Mother, and let her know that your heart is still towards her." ”

Rong Ya listened, nodded, and then couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep directly.

But Yun Yao, who also didn't sleep for long, didn't feel sleepy at all, she stayed by Rong Ya's side, but her mind was thinking about her conversation with Gu Qingming last night.

Gu Qingming's upright posture has always surfaced in her mind, thinking that he is about to go to the south to coordinate the management of floods, she is worried for a while, hoping that Gu Qingming can be safe.

She is very glad, glad that she and Gu Qingming have the same values, they are both working hard for the same thing, they believe and believe that one day, this world will become a peaceful and prosperous world, at that time, they can put aside all the worldly distractions and be together simply and peacefully.

"Miss Yun Yao, the slave maid here is here to guard, you also go and rest for a while, after all, I served Niangniang all night yesterday. Zhuzhi came in at this time and said to Yun Yao, "When Niangniang wakes up, she must ask you to serve, and An Ran has already prepared your breakfast." ”

"Well, that lady's side, you look carefully, I'll go and have breakfast and then come back to change you. Yun Yao nodded and said, then left Rong Ya's room and returned to her own room.

Sure enough, Enron had already prepared breakfast and was waiting, and his attitude was very respectful.

In the past, An Ran was not so respectful to Yun Yao, but he always looked down on him, and felt that Yun Yao was not qualified to serve as the female official in charge of this Hehuan Palace.

It seems that since she was deceived by Chenxi that time and drank Bairui grass, and Yun Yao helped her use silver needles to relieve the pain regardless of her previous suspicions, and let her stay up and wait for the doctor to come, her attitude towards Yun Yao has improved a lot, plus she came to Yun Yao's room to report Chenxi before, which means that she and Yun Yao have formed the same front.

In addition, this time, Yun Yao's style and bearing also made her deeply impressed, seeing that so many palace maids and grandmothers in the Hehuan Hall were obedient to Yun Yao in every way, she also felt that Yun Yao had a convincing power.

Yun Yao didn't put on a stand, only thanked An Ran, and then started to have breakfast.

Not long after breakfast, the eunuch at the door came to spread the word, saying that someone from Jianzhang Palace was coming, and the Queen Mother summoned her and asked the queen to go to Jianzhang Palace in the afternoon.

The people of Jianzhang Palace seemed to know Rong Ya's habits, and they must still be sleeping, so they didn't let her go right away, only said that it was afternoon.

Hearing this news, Yun Yao was relieved. She knew that if the queen stayed in Changming Palace, the queen mother would definitely ask about it, and she would definitely ask Rong Ya what she and the emperor had done. But fortunately, the Queen Mother was not summoned immediately, so Rong Ya still had a certain buffer and acceptance time.

Anyway, the soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover it, Yun Yao sent someone to Rong Ya's inner hall to take a look, and saw that Rong Ya hadn't woken up yet, so she didn't go to the dormitory to serve immediately, but in the house, she took out some colored threads, and planned to weave a peace knot and give it to Gu Qingming, so that he could fight in all directions.

When it was too late, Rong Ya finally woke up when she returned to her sleep, and Zhuzhi hurriedly sent someone to call Yun Yao over.

Yun Yao waited for Rong Ya to get up, and asked people to prepare a little porridge, so that Rong Ya could cushion her stomach first, because it was almost time for lunch, and Rong Ya could eat breakfast and lunch together.

Because she slept enough, Rong Ya was in good spirits, and she watched Yun Yao weave knots in the dormitory.

The colored ribbons were like flying flowers in Yun Yao's hands, but I saw Yun Yao's fingers flexibly threading the colored threads around, and then weaving them into a good-looking peace knot, which dazzled Rong Ya for a while.

It didn't take long for Yun Yao to finish, making Rong Ya only applaud.

"It's so beautiful! Sister Yun Yao, can you teach me? I want to learn too. Rong Ya said, "What is this charm called? I have seen it on my father's sword." ”

"It's called the peace knot. Yun Yao said, "It means peace and security." ”

"So that's the case, then I also have to learn to weave a safe knot, and in the future, I will make a few and give them to my father and mother, as well as the emperor's cousin, the queen mother, and you and Sister Yingquan, as well as Yingge and Mama Qi, as well as bamboo branches and chrysanthemum leaves......" Rong Ya said as she counted how many peace knots she wanted to make.

"Okay, that slave teaches the mother to make up. Yun Yao said, then handed Rong Ya a ribbon, and the two began to weave.

Rong Ya learns very seriously, in the end, she is a child, she has a good memory, and she is talented, it didn't take long to learn, although she is not very proficient, but she is also very good.

"It's so beautiful, no wonder my father never danced a sword, but he couldn't put down the peace knot hanging on this sword. Rong Ya opened her mouth to admire, but these words made Yun Yao wonder in her heart.

Xuanyang Hou Rongyan, is a talent known to everyone in the entire Daning capital, a well-known literati and ink writer, although he has the false title of Hou Ye, but what he is most accustomed to doing is to go to the teahouse and other places, and a group of young talents to gamble on books and pour tea, dance and ink, but also full of leisure.

However, Yun Yao had never heard of this Xuanyang Marquis still studying swords, let alone heard that he could dance swords.

Thinking of this, Yun Yao asked, "Niangniang, can Xuanyang Hou dance with a sword?"

"Yes. Rong Ya said, "I only remember when I was very young, my father seemed to be dancing a sword in the courtyard, and after the dance, he was still standing in the moonlight, holding the peace knot on the hilt of the sword in his hand. At that time, I only thought that my father's sword dance was extremely beautiful, but later, after my mother walked over and said something to my father, my father never touched the sword again, and only occasionally took the sword off and played with it when my mother didn't know it. ”

"I see. Yun Yao nodded, sighing in her heart, it seems that this Xuanyang Marquis is probably also a person with a story, and this story must be about the safe knot hanging on the hilt of the sword.

In fact, the peace knot, also known as the acacia knot, is generally given to the opposite sex, and there has never been a sisterhood or brotherly righteousness to give the peace knot, according to Rong Ya, this Xuanyang Hou should have buried an unknown past in his heart.

"By the way, I heard Mama Qi say, the Queen Mother sent someone to find me, when will we go to Jianzhang Palace?" Rong Ya made another peace knot and asked.

"The Queen Mother said in the afternoon. Yun Yao explained, "At this moment, it is the time when the sun is poisoning, wait for this burst of heat, and estimate that the Queen Mother will get up from a nap, and then go." ”

"It's fine. Rong Ya said, "Last time, when we went back, the Queen Mother was still resting, just waiting." ”

The two of them said without a match, the movements in their hands kept stopping, weaving this silk thread into various complex styles of peace knots, but Yun Yao was even more ingenious, when weaving a peace knot, she put a white jade bead into the thread, and then fell on the tassel silk thread, which looked simple but not simple, very good-looking.

Rong Ya saw the peace knot in Yun Yao's hand, so she leaned over to Yun Yao's side and asked, "Sister Yun Yao, this knot you made up is really chic, who are you going to give it to?" General Gu?"

"Niangniang, the slave begs you to be quiet, don't let others hear, my life is not in danger, but it will not be good if it affects General Gu's reputation. Yun Yao listened to Rong Ya's words, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly spoke.
