The palace is full of dazzling lanterns.

At this time, beside the lotus pond, countless palace maids and eunuchs gathered.

Several princesses have already set up lanterns by the lotus pond.

The water in the lotus pond is stagnant, and the lanterns are hardly moved when they are put in, so everyone stays at the edge of the pond and smashes pebbles next to the lanterns to see whose lanterns go farther.

Sang Shu and the three of them arrived at the lantern, and the ninth princess saw her standing beside the prince at a glance.

Almost immediately, he grabbed the hem of his skirt and ran towards Sang Shu in small steps.

Running in front of her, the eyes of the ninth princess lit up slightly, "General Sang, you really agreed to enter the palace, it seems that my second brother still has some status in your heart......"

As soon as her words fell, Sang Shu could feel that two lines of sight fell behind her at the same time.

An excitement.

A chill, oozing with chills.

Sang Shu paused and turned his head to look over.

I saw that the prince was staring at her excitedly, obviously expecting Sang Shu's response.

But Rong Yan avoided her gaze, and after closing her eyes, her thick black eyelashes covered the emotions under her eyes.

Sang Shu raised her hand, and her fingertips gently pressed between her hair twice.

Ember ...... Something strange.

She looked at the Ninth Princess, and the corners of her lips hooked up with a smile, "That must be...... The crown prince is my good brother in the academy, he is willing to invite, and since Rong Ember has always come, I naturally want to bring him here. ”

Rong Yan's originally drooping gaze raised, and he stared at Sang Shu's back for a moment.

The anger under his eyes seemed to dissipate a lot, and his back was a little straighter.

……

The lanterns are not at their most brilliant until the evening.

After the palace banquet, the prince took them to wander around the palace, and only introduced some palaces and who lived in the palace.

The sky is getting darker.

Lanterns are hung everywhere in the palace, and the lanterns in the pond emit a faint and bright light, floating slowly in the center of the pond like stars.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! The painting boat in Qingchu River has arrived, and the emperor and queen are inviting you to go on a cruise to enjoy the moon. The eunuchs from the emperor's side came to them and prayed.

"Painting boats?" The prince was stunned, "There is a painting boat tonight, I didn't expect my father to be so generous!" ”

His face was happy, "Sang Shu, let's go on a cruise together." ”

Sang Shu subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Rong Yan, "Are you going?" ”

Rong Yan's face was cold, his voice was hard, and he sounded like he was a little yin and yang, "If General Sang wants to go, just go with the prince, and you don't have to ask my opinion as a scholar." ”

Sang Shu was stunned.

What's going on with this tone?

The prince on the side also seemed to notice something, but he didn't know the reason why Rong Shen was angry, but instead asked loudly, "Sang Shu, your little scholar seems to be angry, do you want to coax?" ”

Sang Shu nodded, she also felt that her little scholar was angry.

Sang Shu was about to coax people, seeing the prince pricking up his ears and staring at the play with wide eyes, he directly raised his foot and kicked the prince's thigh, "You go away, we have to deal with family affairs." ”

The prince's dissatisfied tail tone rose, "We are all in such an intimate relationship, your business is the business of the palace, a family, a family!" ”

Sang Shu snorted coldly, "Who is with your family?" ”

"Fuck off."

After Sang Shu finished speaking, he grabbed Rong Yan's hand and found a place far away from His Royal Highness the Prince.

From the moment he entered the palace, Rong Shen didn't look right, and Sang Shu always wanted to find a chance to ask him, but there was no time for the two of them to be alone.

Sang Shu led Rong Ember to the pavilion in the garden, she raised her eyes and looked at Rong Ember's heavy face, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Rong Yan's back was straight, and his handsome and graceful appearance in the past was shrouded in a layer of darkness at the moment, and he looked really in a bad mood.

"I'm fine."

After hearing this, Sang Shu raised her hand and shook it gently, "You lie." ”

She leaned closer, "Rong Yan, you have been very abnormal since you entered the palace, why did you ask the queen about your mother's news?" ”

Sang Shu still remembers that the only time Rong Yan lost his temper was related to his mother.

The fingers that fell to Rong Yan's side tightened slightly, pale and slender.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sang Shu squinted his eyes and continued, "I thought it was strange before, for no reason, you actually took the initiative to enter the palace, and after entering the palace, you asked the queen about the news related to your mother, is it ...... Do you think the queen knows about your mother? ”

After Sang Shu finished speaking, she herself thought of the attitude of the queen at that time, and when she talked about the Rong family's wife, she said that they were not doing well.

Could it be ...... What news does the Queen really know?

Rong Yan's eyelashes drooped, and under the moonlight, his face became more and more pale, but his eyes seemed to be condensed with black ice, he opened his lips, and his voice was deep, "My mother...... is the Queen's distant cousin. ”

Sang Shu was stunned, "What?" ”

Rong Yan's mother turned out to be the distant cousin of the current queen?

Why, then, did they never know?

It stands to reason that the queen's relatives are relatives, and they can also rise to prominence with the queen's name, but ...... No one in the capital ever mentioned it.

"My mother only told me before she left, but after she left, there was no news at all, and I thought the queen should know." After Rong Shen finished speaking, Sang Shu's pupils shrank slightly, "The queen must know, but she is hiding it." ”

Rong Shen nodded with a cold face.

Sang Shu smiled, "Your mother will not disappear out of thin air, if you want to find her, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Before Rong Shen could speak, Sang Shu thought of another thing, "So you were covered in blood and thrown into front of the Hou Mansion that day, and you also went to find your mother?" ”

Rong Ember frowned, his eyes drooped slightly, and his figure seemed to be even more lonely and thinner under the light of the residual light in the distance.

Sang Shu came closer, and she held Rong Yan's arm with both hands.

"Rong Ash, you should know one thing, under absolute power, you and I are both ants."

"Only when we keep climbing up and have real rights can we do what we want to do and protect the people we care about."

As soon as Sang Shu's words fell, the prince's shout was heard in the distance.

She snorted, then looked at Rong Ash, "Are you going?" If you want to go on a cruise, I'll accompany you. ”

Rong Ember was a moment late, and he nodded slowly.

Sang Shu took his wrist and walked forward, but before he walked out, he was grabbed by Rong Yan's wrist.

His strength was much greater, and as soon as his cultivated arm was retracted, he dragged Sang Shu into his arms.

Sang Shu was slightly sluggish, and she asked in surprise, "Rong Yan, you actually ...... It's getting stronger! ”

Rong Yan's face was slightly gloomy, he just lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while before he asked in a low voice, "Do you care about the prince very much?" ”

Sang Shu felt that this question was very strange, "Do you care?" What do I care about him doing? ”

The moment these words fell, Sang Shu seemed to see that Rong Yan's tense eyebrows finally eased.

She came out of Rong Ash's arms, "Okay, don't think about this, go on a cruise first!" Hey, what a rare opportunity...... the emperor"
