When I walked to the gate of the East Palace, there was a carriage parked in front of me, which had obviously been prepared early.

Lu Yi helped her into the carriage, and before she sat down, Zhao Yi lifted the curtain and came in.

She said, "How can it be so fast?" ”

He sat down next to her, so close to her, that she found that no matter how empty the seat was, he was like a skin hunger, and he always sat next to her.

He leaned on her slightly, and said slowly: "I just went to get some things, I'm afraid you'll wait for a long time." ”

Li Baojia pushed him to the side and said, "It's okay to wait a while, by the way, I heard Lu Yi say that I also have a maid named Xiao Tao, why didn't I hear you mention her before?" When will she come back and how are her injuries? ”

His eyes flashed with a glimmer, his fingers lightly clasped the tabletop, and he stroked his wrench and said leisurely: "The main reason is that I am afraid that you will be worried, so I didn't say it first." The injury is serious, and it is not suitable to move, so let her recuperate in Jiangnan first. ”

"Why did you suddenly talk about this today? Isn't the palace maid around you bad? His eyes snapped.

She hurriedly said: "Of course not, it's just a little strange, and there is no need to arrange a new big girl, just wait for her to come back." ”

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of the palace, because of yesterday's wedding, the palace decoration has not been removed, and it is still red everywhere.

Zhao Yi got out of the carriage, Li Baojia stood above the carriage, he hooked her waist with one hand, and easily lifted her down.

She followed him and entered the palace, and her words were noticeably less, obviously she had just been chattering in the carriage.

Entering the main hall, the emperor and the empress were already sitting on it, she quietly raised her eyes to look, and saw a man in his sixties sitting on the top, his face was full of ravines, full of traces of time, and there was no smile on his face, which was even more terrifying to look at.

Skinny, not like an emperor, but like a Taoist priest.

However, the facial features are three-dimensional, and the bridge of the nose is high, so it can be seen that he was also handsome when he was young.

When he saw them coming, he only stood up with a faint expression after saluting, and did not seem to care about these worldly things.

Queen Zhou was also very quiet this time, and did not embarrass her, Li Baojia gave tea to the two of them, and she took it and drank it.

She looked at Li Baojia and beckoned the maid behind her to come over, the maid came over with a pear blossom wood box, and Queen Zhou opened it in front of him, and there was a pair of crystal clear red agate bracelets inside.

She took it out with her own hands and put it on Li Baojia's hand, the bracelet was red and bright, and she knew that it was an excellent material when she looked at the color, lining her complexion like snow.

She said: "You are married to the prince, and there is nothing to give in this palace, look at this pair of bracelets is suitable for you, and in the future, you will have to reconcile with the prince Qinse, and spend a lot of money for the royal family." ”

Her expression and movements were as usual, as if the things that had happened in the palace that day had not happened.

"Thank you to the queen mother, and the sons should follow the teachings carefully."

Although Li Baojia felt strange, she had already prepared to be embarrassed, and when she saw her like this, she naturally couldn't ask for it, so she gently bowed and stepped aside.

After Empress Zhou finished doing this, she asked Zhao Yi some common words with a smile: "The prince has been busy with court affairs recently?" Every time I see you, I can't say a few words and leave. Even if there are many things in the court, you must focus on your body, after all, the queen mother is only your son, how can you not worry? ”

She stood up and took a step forward, as if she wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but he suddenly took a step back and let her slap the air, Queen Zhou's hand was a little embarrassed to put down, and the air was a little frozen at this moment.

The emperor also spoke at this time, and he said, "It is almost noon, so why not have a meal together." ”

Zhao Yi said: "Erchen naturally wants to eat together, but unfortunately, there was a battle report from the north in the morning, so Erchen had to go back to deal with it first." National events cannot be delayed. Why don't you dine with your father and queen mother next time? ”

Empress Zhou seemed to want to say something, but stopped talking again.

The emperor was not reluctant, but just hummed and said, "Then find time next time, it is important to deal with state affairs." ”

Li Baojia was quietly a transparent person next to him, and he didn't speak, and he was secretly relieved to hear that he didn't have to have lunch in the palace.

She didn't want to eat here, this place looked too terrifying, and she was even more afraid that when she was eating, she would have something wrong with her and not conform to etiquette, and then she would be seen by someone with a heart, and it would be inevitable to talk about it.

Zhao Yi bowed and said goodbye, and then pulled Li Baojia out of the door of the hall, I don't know why, nothing happened just now, looking like a father and a son. But Li Baojia can inexplicably feel that the relationship between Zhao Yi and the emperor is not as harmonious as outsiders think.

According to the outside world's opinion, the emperor should like the crown prince very much, he has been the prince since birth, and his position is stable, and almost no prince can take his place.

Such princes are rare in previous dynasties, so there seems to be no so-called prince standing in line in this dynasty, and almost all of the people in the Manchu Dynasty are princes.

Even Queen Zhou felt that her attitude towards Zhao Yi was a little strange, as if she was a little afraid of him.

But how can a mother be afraid of her son?

Although Li Baojia's brain is not fast, she still has the ability to observe words and colors, and she is particularly sensitive to the thoughts of others.

Zhao Yi is not like when he first came, as if every time he goes out of the palace, his mood will be a little worse.

He came to the gate of the palace with her, Li Baojia got into the carriage, but Zhao Yi didn't come up, she looked at him with some doubts, but he smiled and said: "Jiajia go back first, I still have some things to deal with, maybe come back later, Jiajia went back to eat first, and I used it in the morning, and if I don't eat again, I should be hungry." ”

It turns out that he just wants to send her to the palace gate?

He just said that he wanted to go back to the East Palace to deal with military affairs, and now he said that he wanted to go back, Li Baojia was a little confused, but he still obediently responded: "Okay, you can go quickly." ”

Zhao Yi put down the carriage curtain, turned around and left, Li Baojia quietly lifted a crack in the curtain, looked at his back for a while, and suddenly jumped out of the carriage.

Lu Yi was taken aback by his actions and asked, "Niangniang, ............ are you?" ”

Li Baojia lifted her skirt and turned her head to make a silent gesture to her, and said, "You sit here first, I suddenly want to go to the toilet, and I will come back by myself." ”

Green wanted to say something, but she ran away with her skirt and a cigarette.
