"Your Majesty, don't worry, there may be something delayed."

"I guess I forgot." Zhao Chengxi threw away the brush and got up, "The weather is good today, let's go out of the palace for a walk, Lian'er hasn't visited Jingling City yet." ”

"Your Majesty wants to go to the Houfu."

"Shut up. Just talk a lot about you. Change. ”

What was always a threesome is now a fivesome.

Zhao Chengxi, who left the palace, naturally wanted to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit Meng Lingping, thinking that Niu Lian'er had not visited Jingling City yet, so he asked Xiao Lianzi and Qin Yan to take Niu Lian'er for a walk, and he and Chang Yi and Ah Jing went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and met in the Houfu later.

Not surprisingly, I saw Song Mingming in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it seemed that she and Meng Yingran were getting along well.

Song Mingming was very happy to see Zhao Chengxi, as if she had regarded the Xiangfu as her home, and trotted over excitedly: "Master Bi, Meng Xiang woke up yesterday." ”

"Awake?" Zhao Chengxi was pleasantly surprised, "Why didn't anyone tell me?" ”

Meng Yingran received the message from his subordinates and came out of the house: "Master Bi, say in the house." ”

Zhao Chengxi understood, left Chang Yi and Ah Jing in the living room, and went to Meng Xiang's bedroom with Meng Yingran.

"Your Majesty, my uncle woke up last night, babbling but unable to speak. We asked Song Gongzi to come and see it, and he said that his uncle's tongue was poisoned deeply, and now the poison has not disappeared, so he can't speak clearly, and he can recover after slowly recuperating. His Majesty also knew that his uncle's illness could not be publicized, and he originally wanted to enter the palace today to face the saint in person, but he didn't expect His Majesty to arrive. ”

"It's okay. Is my grandfather sober now? ”

"I woke up two hours last night and fell asleep again, and I haven't woken up yet."

As soon as Zhao Chengxi stepped into the bedroom, Mrs. Meng greeted her: "Courtiers see Your Majesty." ”

"Grandma, excuse me. How is Grandpa? ”

"There's already been a big improvement."

Zhao Chengxi quietly walked to the bed, and when he saw that Meng Lingping was sleeping peacefully, he relieved himself and motioned for Mrs. Meng to go to the outer hall to talk.

"Grandma can be relieved now."

"Before he recovers completely, the courtier's heart is still unrelieved."

Zhao Chengxi thought that it was still fun to chat, looked at Meng Yingran, and said with a smile: "I just saw that Song Mingming is also here, it seems that I am making good progress with my uncle." ”

Meng Yingran waved his hand in fright: "Your Majesty, don't joke with your ministers." ”

"Mingming, this child is lively and cute, approachable, and the courtiers really like it. The courtiers thought that when the old man was well, she asked His Majesty to marry Ying Ran and Mingming. ”

Meng Yingran sneered: "It's still far away, what are you doing now?" ”

Zhao Chengxi smiled: "Uncle, are you shy?" ”

"Nothing."

Mrs. Meng was worried about Zhao Chengxi again: "Your Majesty, don't say what it should be. Your Majesty, you have to hurry up, now there is only one lady in the palace, and there is no joy. If Your Majesty sees someone you like, you don't have to worry about your identity, giving birth to a prince is a big deal. ”

Zhao Chengxi held his forehead and hurriedly said, "Grandmother, I suddenly feel a little hungry, please help me prepare some pastries." ”

Mrs. Meng blamed herself, she forgot to prepare refreshments, and hurriedly got up: "Okay, the courtiers will go immediately." ”

After Mrs. Meng left, Zhao Chengxi asked, "Do you know that someone drugged Fan Zhili?" ”

"Weichen listened to what Yanqing said."

"Did you tell him about Grandpa's poisoning?"

"Wechen didn't dare, His Majesty instructed Wechen to keep it secret, and Wechen was naturally tight-lipped. Yanqing only knew that his uncle was sick, but he also noticed that something was wrong, so he consulted with Weichen. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Yanqing said that his uncle was sick, and then he found out that someone had drugged Master Fan, and everything was too coincidental, so he came to remind Weichen to see if there was anything strange about his uncle's illness."

"It's a coincidence. Did you notice something wrong with the court? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. But the calm lake often has an undercurrent, and the surface of the court is calm, but now the two important ministers of the court have encountered poisonous hands, and His Majesty has to guard against it. ”

"I'm in the open, and I'm in the dark. It's hard to prevent. The more Zhao Chengxi thought about it, the more headache he felt, "Who do you think is doing it behind his back, could it be the Northern Zhou Kingdom?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare to make a judgment, the movements of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, presumably the Hou Ye will be more clear. Has Your Majesty asked Lord Hou's opinion? ”

"Since returning from Jiangzhong City, I have never met Qin Chongzhou in private. He's lost his memory now, and there's always something missing when he talks to him. ”

"Lord Hou's loyalty will not be diminished because of amnesia."

"I know, I'll go to Houfu later."

Xiao Lianzi looked at the bag in Niu Lian'er's arms and was shocked: "Lian'er, how did you finish eating the popcorn?" Didn't you say just a few? This is what His Majesty likes! ”

Niu Lian'er scratched her sideburns with self-reproach: "I'm sorry, it's so delicious, I can't control ......"

Xiao Lianzi thought to herself, she must have never eaten in the countryside before, so naturally she would not blame Niu Lian'er: "It's okay, then you wait here, I'll buy it again." ”

After Xiao Lianzi walked away, Niu Lian'er saw Qin Yan's disgusted look, and said unwillingly: "I didn't mean it, when I was at home, there was a popcorn seller next door, I ate it almost every day, I haven't eaten it for so long, I can't stop eating." ”

"Is it reasonable to be greedy?"

Niu Lian'er hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, I think the glutinous rice dumplings passing by that stall are delicious, can you help me buy some for Your Majesty?" ”

"You want to eat it yourself."

Niu Lian'er was confident: "I want to eat, Your Majesty definitely wants to eat too." ”

Qin Yan still agreed: "Don't run around, I'll come when I go." If you go down that road, you can go to the back door of the Houfu, and you can go first. ”

After Qin Yan left, Niu Lian'er looked left and right, very bored, and walked down the road. Seeing that the back door of the Houfu was there, I walked to the stall at the intersection to look at some gadgets.

There was a stall selling some rouge gouache, and Niu Lian'er stepped forward to see the freshness with great interest. After all, she has not been treated as a girl's family since she was a child, and she has only seen these daughters' dress-up gadgets on other people's faces.

There was also a girl standing next to the stall, Niu Lian'er didn't want to buy it, she just wanted to see how others chosen, so a pair of round purring eyes glanced at the girl's face intentionally or unintentionally.

This girl is a good girl. Niu Lian'er thought to herself, but she didn't seem to be paying attention to these rouges.

Niu Lian'er saw that she looked around for a while, as if she was looking for something, and for a while she pretended to calmly bow her head and pick and choose from the stall, but she didn't try it or really buy it.

The people of Jingling City are really strange.

Niu Lian'er had just come up with this idea, but at some point a vendor carrying a basket walked up to the girl and asked with a smile: "Girl, do you want to try the freshly baked rice cakes?" ”

"Okay." The girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took a small bag of things from the man, and stopped buying rouge, turned around and left.
