Hua Luo nodded: "Don't say it, these two clothes are quite like couples' outfits." ”

Just as Xiahou Qian was about to continue, someone from outside came: "Your Highness, Your Majesty said that I have something to find you, so let you come over." ”

Hua Luo put down the dress, and her face was a little puzzled: "What will the queen mother have to find me at this time?" ”

"Your Highness, since Your Majesty has something to look for you, then you should go first, and then the ministers will continue to discuss the matter of clothes with you later."

"Okay, you wait for me here first, and when I come back, we'll continue to talk, Zhaoyue, go make a pot of tea for Lord Xiahou."

After Hua Luo finished speaking, she went to see the empress.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother."

Hua Luo saluted the empress, who motioned for her to get up, and then told her what she was looking for.

"Prince, two days later, you and Ruofeng will go to the lake with lanterns."

"Why?" Hua Luo was very surprised to get the news, because she had already invited Xia Houqian.

The empress didn't explain to Hua Luo: "There's no why, it's just a trip together, and I let you go." ”

"Queen Mother, if you don't have a good reason, forgive Erchen for not being able to obey his orders, Erchen's flower post has been handed out, and it is Lord Xiahou who is invited, Erchen has always been a man of his word, how can he change his hexagram at will."

The empress said without hesitation: "Xiahou Qian is just a little minister next to you, from a slightly poor background, you explain the reason to him, isn't it okay to cancel the agreement." ”

"In short, the person who travels with you on the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival can only be Ruofeng."

The empress's tough attitude made Hua Luo dissatisfied, so naturally it was not so easy to compromise: "Forgive me." ”

"Prince!" The empress's voice raised significantly, and she asked, "It's just a candidate for a male companion for the Hundred Flowers Festival, and you have to argue with me for such a trivial matter?" ”

"No matter how big or small things are, only the principle, the Hundred Flowers Festival is customary for the women of the Apocalypse to invite a male companion to travel, as for who this male companion is, it depends on the woman's own wishes, why should others interfere, the queen mother can't just make decisions for her sons."

"Because you were born of me." The empress's words almost roared out, "If there is no me, where did you come from?" Prince, you usually raise the bar with me in the court, don't talk about it, but now I can't even call you for this little thing, let me ask you if you still have me in your eyes, are you really going to turn against the sky! ”

In the face of the empress's anger, others would have been so frightened that they knelt down to beg for mercy, but Hua Luo did not move.

"The queen mother is serious, the son is only about things and not about people, if the queen mother really thinks so, then the son can not do anything."

This fluttering sentence was like a splash of oil, which made the anger in the empress's heart burn even more.

Looking at her little daughter like this, the empress was angry and blurted out: "Cheap! ”

"Your Majesty is cautious!"

Lady Guo was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to remind.

This kind of dirty, filthy and swearative words that can only be heard from the mouth of a peasant woman on weekdays actually came out of the mouth of the dignified empress, and Hua Luo felt like her brain was suddenly hit twice, and her temples jumped suddenly.

Immediately, she laughed dryly: "Did I let you give birth to me?" It's better for you to treat me like this, it's better not to give birth. ”

"You're ......!"

"Yes, I was born to you, but I am a person, I have my own ideas, why should you indiscriminately interfere with such a thing as the selection of a male partner for the Hundred Flowers Festival, just because I was born by you? Then if you really think so, you shouldn't give birth to me, you should find a marionette, as long as you have a thread in your hand, you can move it however you want, and it will definitely not make you angry. ”

The empress's chest rose and fell violently, the palace powder on her face fell in a slump, and all the fine lines that were well concealed on weekdays were revealed.

Female official Guo hurriedly stepped forward to support the empress, and her tone was anxious: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, just say a few words!" ”

"Hmph."

Hua Luo snorted coldly, turned her head and left.

The empress was so angry that her forehead was bruised, and she looked at Hua Luo's back and warned: "I am the lord of a country, and you are nothing without me!" If you dare to hold a grudge against Ruofeng, you will bear the consequences. ”

Hua Luo didn't say anything and left directly, and Lady Guo tried her best to persuade: "Your Majesty, it's just a big thing, why do you bother to make a big fuss, didn't the slave and maid say it, Your Highness is in her youth and rebellion, don't be like her, besides, how can you scold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like that, she is your youngest daughter." ”

"Why did I give birth to such a thing, other princesses are all respectful and obedient to me, only her! Everywhere you go! ”

There is a saying that it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and Lady Guo was caught in the middle and didn't know what to say, so she could only try her best to persuade the empress not to be angry anymore.

And after Hua Luo returned to the East Palace, she didn't say a word and went directly to the apse to stay alone, so that no one was allowed to disturb her.

There is a platform for sword practice in the apse, and around the platform is a small courtyard full of flowers and plants, Zhan Xing shook his head helplessly: "Harm, the flowers and plants in the yard are going to suffer again." ”

Zhao Yue asked with a worried face, "Your Highness quarreled with Your Majesty again?" ”

Zhan Xing shrugged: "Otherwise, it's nothing new, Your Highness and Your Majesty have always had a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel for two days, and they can quarrel in such a solemn place as the court, this is not like a mother and daughter, it's just like an enemy who doesn't share the sky, and I think it's strange if I don't quarrel one day." ”

"Hey, what's the reason for this time?"

Zhao Yue glanced at it, and the door to the apse had been closed: "Why don't we go and have a look?" Don't be angry. ”

Zhan Xing looked at Zhao Yue: "Do you dare to go, if you dare to go, you can go." ”

Zhao Yue hurriedly shook her head.

"And what is the reason for this time?"

Zhan Xing sighed: "Actually, it's just a trivial matter, and as a result, no one will be convinced, and I don't understand what to quarrel about, Your Majesty and Your Highness often quarrel because of some inexplicable things, but Your Majesty is indeed a little overdone this time." ”

"What's the overkill?"

Because Zhanxing went with Hua Luo, Zhaoyue stayed to entertain Xiahou Qian, so she had to ask Zhanxing about the specific situation.

Xiahou Qian, who was on the side, also listened silently.

"That's it, it's Your Majesty that she scolded Ah Luo, it's still the kind of thief who is ugly, and then Ah Luo got angry and didn't speak too politely, Ah Luo is really angry this time, whoever tries to persuade her is a bad head, let's wait for her to calm down."

"Miss Zhanxing, can you tell me what happened in the hall just now?"

Xiahou Qian put down the tea bowl and stood up.

"Okay, Lord Xiahou, didn't His Highness invite you to travel with her during the Hundred Flowers Festival, but Your Majesty has found a male companion for Your Highness, that Lan Ruofeng, and without saying the reason, Your Highness has to replace you with Lan Ruofeng."

"Then Her Highness was not happy, and felt that she should make her own decisions in this matter, and she was very unhappy with His Majesty's strong interference, so she quarreled."

Knowing what happened, Xiahou Qian couldn't sit still: "Then I'll go and see, I'm angry." ”

"Lord Xiahou, you really want to go, you don't know Your Highness's temper, or forget it, you go back first, and I will go with Zhaoyue in two hours."

"It's okay."

Xiahou Qian insisted on going, and Zhanxing and Zhaoyue compromised.

Xiahou Qian hurriedly went to the apse and soon found the trace of Hua Luo.

Hua Luo was not wasting flowers and plants as Zhan Xing and Zhao Yue had expected, but sat quietly on a newly built swing in the courtyard.

The swing swayed slightly, the night breeze hit, Hua Luo's long hair swayed with the wind, and the bangs brushed over the silver mask, looking exceptionally quiet.

Xiahou Qian walked towards Hua Luo step by step, and before he could speak, he suddenly saw a click on the swing made of vines, and one section was actually cracked, and it was about to be completely broken.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Xia Houqian blurted out and hurriedly helped Hua Luo.

Even if it was an emergency physical contact, Xia Houqian's movements seemed very appropriate, one hand was attached to Hua Luo's back to a minimum, and Hua Luo took it away immediately after she stood firm, like the most standard and qualified humble gentleman.

Xiahou Qian said gently: "If Your Highness really feels sad, you can tell the minister, it's not good to hold your heart in your heart." ”

Blossom looked up at the moonlight in the sky.

"The queen mother has always been the one who has the highest and strictest requirements for me, and in my memory, only when I was very young, the queen mother once held me under the osmanthus tree to watch the moon, told me stories, and coaxed me to sleep."

But when I was older, my mother would never smile at me again, and speak to me in a gentle tone. She only has endless demands on me, the same thing, other brothers and sisters only need to achieve three points, but I must achieve at least eight or nine points to be satisfied. ”

"Rao is like this, I have never received a word of praise, even the autumn hunt, the palace banquet, the queen mother only laughed with my brother and sister Wang, I am like a humble shadow, although I have worked hard, she has never stopped her eyes on me for a moment, and she has never praised me."

"One day, my eldest sister and I had a conflict because of one thing, I forgot what it was, obviously both of us were responsible, but the queen mother only punished me, not her."

"In those years, I have relied on memories to insist on my admiration for my mother, and I thought that one day I would meet her expectations, and she would still treat me like she did when I was a child."

"I didn't know until I was a little older that she hated my father, and she hated me even with me, so she didn't like me at all, and she wouldn't care about me no matter what I did, and I learned from others that she never actually hugged me to look at the moon under the osmanthus tree."

"That's her holding the sixth sister, I looked at it from the side and was very envious, I hoped that she could hug me, plus I was too young, I remembered wrong, and even when I was just established because of the prince, I heard her say in person that she wanted to pass on the throne to the eldest sister, so what am I, a tool to sweep the way for the eldest sister?"

"I couldn't be angry, the first time I confronted her, she was driven to Yanzhou, you know, at that time I was also a little girl who never left the palace gate half a step."
