"The old man came with his eldest granddaughter." Mrs. Zhao said.

"Oh?" Emperor Qianyuan raised his eyebrows: "Which one is your eldest granddaughter?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty." Old Madam Zhao saluted again: "When I was resting in the flower hall before, the eldest granddaughter of the old body asked Mama Jing in front of Concubine Niangniang to leave, and now, she has never come back." ”

Her face was full of worry.

It's not that I'm worried about Zhao Yan, but I'm afraid that Zhao Yan will cause some trouble and affect her and the children and grandchildren in the family.

Since His Majesty asked, she naturally had to tell the truth.

"Oh?" Emperor Qianyuan turned his head, looked behind the curtain on the side, and commanded: "Call Concubine He." ”

The great eunuch Jin Zhong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned around and screamed into the curtain: "Concubine He, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Concubine He quickly walked out of it, with a kind smile on her face, and her tone was always soft: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother." ”

"No courtesy." Emperor Qianyuan raised his hand casually, and then asked, "Old Madam Zhao said that you called her granddaughter and never came back, what's the matter?" ”

Concubine He was stunned for a moment and looked at Emperor Qianyuan: "Your Majesty is saying that the eldest girl of the Huai'an Hou Mansion is Zhao Yan?" ”

"Her name is Zhao Yan?" Emperor Qianyuan asked pretendedly.

"Yes." Concubine He said strangely: "Didn't she come here?"

The concubine called her to go, asked a few words, and let her out.

When I came out of my place, I said that I wanted someone to send her, but she said no, saying that she had come back and knew the way. ”

"You let her out?" Emperor Qianyuan turned his head to look at her, his eyes cloudy.

Concubine He's heart tightened, her face did not change at all, and she nodded with a smile: "Yes." ”

"What about the man?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

Concubine He shook her head: "The concubine doesn't know, Xu is the palace is big, and Miss Zhao is lost?" ”

When she said this, she had already figured out how Zhao Yan would die.

Let's drown in the lake.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and a person who is not familiar with the palace stumbles and falls into the imperial lake, which is very reasonable.

"That's what it is." The queen took over and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to find it?" ”

"Go." Emperor Qianyuan raised his hand towards Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong immediately nodded in response, and waved his hand to a group of little eunuchs who were waiting: "Go quickly, call some more people, search the good students along the way, and see where Miss Zhao is." ”

He worked hard.

Others don't know, but he knows, these days, Emperor Qianyuan has always remembered Zhao Yan.

Just waiting for today, to be able to see it.

What the hell is this and the concubine doing in it?

Could it be that she guessed His Majesty's thoughts?

He quietly looked at Concubine He's expression, but there was no show on his face.

Emperor Qianyuan glanced at Concubine He again: "What are you looking for Zhao Yan to do in your palace?" ”

Concubine He showed a somewhat sad look and sighed: "Your Majesty also knows that my mother's family has been destroyed, and I am alone."

I don't have anything to worry about.

It is Zhao Yan's stepmother Jiang Qingrou and my mother's sister-in-law, who are sisters-in-law.

A few days ago, I heard that Jiang Qingrou's own eldest daughter had gone, and the youngest daughter had soul escape again, so I kept thinking about it and felt that she was also a poor person.

Zhao Yan came to the palace today, so I thought, ask Jiang Qingrou if she is okay, and then see if she can help her little daughter.

After asking, I learned that Jiang Qingrou had reconciled with Huai'an Hou, and no one was missing.

The concubine was still a little sad in her heart, so she didn't let Zhao Yan come to the main hall.

Speaking of which, it was also my negligence. ”

As she spoke, she tucked the corners of her eyes, looking sad.

"Mother, today is the birthday of the imperial grandmother, don't be like this." Princess Yong stood up at this time.

King Yong put down his chopsticks and looked at Princess Yong, he wanted to warn her with his eyes, but Princess Yong didn't look at him at all.

Concubine He only treated Princess Yong with good words and persuasion, and she didn't care, but she was busy saluting the Queen Mother: "I'm sorry for the Queen Mother, it's the concubine who disturbs the Queen Mother's interest." ”

"Mother." Princess Yong spoke again: "Daughter-in-law is saying, don't hide it from your father."

Since my father wants to see Zhao Yan, you can let her come out. ”

Concubine He was startled for a moment, and turned her head to look at her: "Jingzhi, what are you talking nonsense?"

I have already told Your Majesty that Zhao Yan is not with me, why do you still say such things? ”

There was a warning in her eyes.

Luo Jingzhi dared to ruin her business, don't blame her for being unkind next.

"The daughter-in-law has never talked nonsense." Princess Yong said: "Actually, when the mother invited Zhao Yan over, the daughter-in-law was at the door and saw with her own eyes that Mama Jing brought Zhao Yan into the palace of the mother concubine.

Later, until the concubine came out for the banquet, I never saw Zhao Yan come out.

The daughter-in-law knew that Zhao Yan must still be in the palace of the concubine.

The mother concubine quickly sent someone to invite Zhao Yan out, and it would save the old lady Zhao from worrying. ”

King Yong clenched his fists, but did not stand up.

"I said, I've already released her, Jingzhi, don't talk nonsense, lest your father misunderstand me." Concubine He couldn't wait to strangle Princess Yong.

This slut, when King Yong discussed with her whether to keep this slut, she took into account King Yong's reputation and finally nodded.

If she had known that she would have done bad things about Zhao Yan today, she would never have nodded her head.

If she hadn't nodded, Princess Yong, a slut, would have been abandoned a long time ago, where would she still have the opportunity to sit here?

"That'...... The daughter-in-law won't say much. Princess Yong glanced at Emperor Qianyuan with a smile.

"And the concubine." Emperor Qianyuan picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "You are also an old man in the palace, I remember, you have always been sensible."

Today's queen mother's birthday banquet, I don't want the queen mother to be unhappy. ”

His words, which sounded ordinary, seemed to have nothing except a somewhat gloomy tone.

But the entire hall was completely silent.

Almost all of the people present were exquisitely thoughtful, and from these few words, they could hear Emperor Qianyuan's displeasure.

Perhaps, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's birthday today, Emperor Qianyuan would have sent someone to search Concubine He's palace now.

Concubine He's face turned slightly pale, but she still said strongly: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know where Zhao Yan is."

Mama Jing, you go back to the palace and let people look carefully to see if Zhao Yan is still in my place. ”

"Jinzhong, you take someone with you." Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand.

The person he wants to see, how can he be stopped by his concubine?

The things of that year were clear to the concubine.

Therefore, he also knows why Concubine He is holding Zhao Yan.

Concubine He's face turned a little paler, and she took half a step back and didn't speak again.

Leaf saw Jinzhong with a group of people, scattered in the palace of the concubine, looking around.

Seeing the timing, she kicked open the door of the firewood room and shouted outward, "Here's the man!" ”

Then she leaped and went to the roof.

Zhao Yan walked out of the firewood room.

A group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded them: "Loyal father-in-law, people are here!" ”

Jinzhong approached quickly.

The light of the lantern under the corridor shone far here, and the light was insufficient, but Zhao Yan's outline could be roughly seen.

Jin Zhong's eyes were round, and he was shocked in his heart, Zhao Yan's appearance looked the same as Sheng Xue at the beginning.

"Miss Zhao!"

He took a deep swoop.

"You are?" Zhao Yan tilted her head to look at him.

"The slave is the Jinzhong who is waiting for His Majesty." Jin Zhong lowered his head and replied respectfully.

If Zhao Yan enters the palace, with only this face, she will definitely favor the six palaces.

This is not to be offended.

"It turned out to be Father-in-law Jinzhong." Zhao Yan smiled: "I have admired the name for a long time." ”

The great eunuch of Emperor Qianyuan, she had known it before.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Jin Zhong lowered his head: "Miss Zhao can call me 'Jin Zhong'."

Please, girl, so I'll go to the Daqing Palace, Your Majesty is waiting to see you. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yan nodded with a smile: "Please let my father-in-law lead the way." ”

Jin Zhong was busy leading the way.

Mama Jing watched this scene, leaning on the pillar and not even having the strength to walk for a while.

Zhao Yan is going to His Majesty, what can I do?

She gritted her teeth, but kept up quickly.

Anyway, she has to stay by her mother's side.

She comforted herself in her heart, Niangniang has His Royal Highness King Yong to rely on, His Majesty does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, it should not be like anything to Niangniang.

Zhao Yan followed Jinzhong and entered the Daqing Hall all the way.

The moment she stepped into the threshold, the blood on Concubine He's face faded in an instant.

In the main hall, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Yan's face.

The Queen Mother's face also changed slightly.

Zhou Yu's eyes fell on Zhao Yanshi, but he didn't take it back as usual, but looked at her carefully.

Zhou Jinyu kept staring at Zhou Yu, and when he saw this, his nails were about to pinch into his palms.

My brother stared at Zhao Yan like this, wouldn't he really be interested in her?
