The carriage was fast, and it didn't take long to reach the palace.
Xie Youwei got out of the carriage and followed the maid all the way to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother was a little lazy lying on the chaise longue, and when she saw Xie Youwei, she sat up slightly straighter, and her eyes were also a little interesting.
"Youwei is here."
There is a palpable closeness between the words.
It's very different from that day's election.
Xie Youwei's face also showed a social and polite smile, and he leaned over slightly in the direction of the Queen Mother.
"Youwei see the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother looked extremely enthusiastic, squinting her eyes and beckoning in the direction of Xie Youwei.
"Come, sit on my side."
Xie Youwei glanced at the position of the Queen Mother, was a little surprised, and spoke with a little hesitation.
"Queen Mother, this ...... Isn't it inappropriate? โ
The Queen Mother photographed the position next to her.
It stands to reason that there will only be the emperor, queen, or other high-status people sitting there.
When the Queen Mother heard Xie Youwei's words, her face showed a little dissatisfaction.
"What does it matter? In another month, you will marry Aqin, and by that time you should be called the queen of the mourning family, and they are all a family. โ
"It's only a matter of time before it's left and right, so why do you mind so much now? Come and sit. โ
The Queen Mother's face was marked with an obvious beak.
Xie You pursed his lips slightly, and finally raised his steps and walked to the side where the Queen Mother patted and sat down.
Seeing Xie Youwei's movements, the Queen Mother finally hooked her lips.
"That's right, what a good boy."
Xie Youwei sat in place and chatted politely with the Queen Mother.
After a while, the voice of the eunuch was heard.
"His Royal Highness arrivedโ"
Xie Youwei raised his head and looked at the location of the hall gate.
After rejecting Chu Qin so many times, she hadn't seen this man for a long time.
At the gate of the hall, the man who walked in was still the same as in his memory, dressed in white and wearing a mask, blocking the whole person's face tightly, only the pair of eyes were exposed.
Xie Youwei tilted his head.
I don't know why, she always felt that Chu Qin's eyes were a little tired today.
Xiao Jinyan walked all the way from the palace gate to the center of the hall and saluted the queen mother.
When the Queen Mother saw her son, her whole mood soared, and the smile on her face had not come down since Xiao Jinyan appeared.
In the face of Xiao Jinyan's salute, the Queen Mother naturally spoke directly.
"What kind of courtesy, come and sit, today I specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare the pastries that you have loved since childhood."
Xiao Jinyan nodded, thanked him, and sat down.
Xiao Jinyan is indeed extremely tired.
In the past few days, Xiao Jinyan has been busy with the tasks sent by the emperor, and he has to run a lot of places every day, often running outside when it is completely dark.
The same is true today.
Xiao Jinyan had just finished today's task, and he was already too tired to do it, so he was ready to rest directly when he returned to the house.
Who knew that the Queen Mother suddenly asked someone to come over to inform her, saying that she wanted to invite him and Xie Youwei to go to the palace to chat together, and asked him if he agreed.
Can Xiao Jinyan still agree?
Xiao Jinyan hadn't seen Xie Youwei for a long, long time.
Immediately, Xiao Jinyan didn't care how tired he was, and straightforwardly asked people to go back and reply to the Queen Mother, informing him that he agreed.
Subsequently, he was invited to the palace.
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the pastry in his hand, raised his hand in the middle of the night, picked up a piece of pastry, and put it down after a few bites.
On the contrary, I drank a lot of tea.
Xie You narrowed his eyes slightly, and stayed on Xiao Jinyan's body for a while before withdrawing his gaze.
Both of them arrived, and the Queen Mother quickly got down to business.
"The wedding date of the two of you is also coming soon, although the mourning family has given you two marriages, but it is also the meaning of the mourning family itself, or do you hope that the two of you can get along more, what do you say?"
In fact, the Queen Mother just felt that Chu Qin was alone and uncomfortable to look at.
I heard that recently, I don't know why this Xie family girl has refused Chu Qin's invitation many times.
It is clear that the Queen Mother heard the news before, and the two of them seem to get along quite well when they go out, why has it suddenly become like this now.
The Queen Mother doesn't care so much, she just hopes that her son can be happier.
Since the fire, this was the first time that the Queen Mother had seen Chu Qin show interest in something.
Even the tea ceremony, which had been abandoned after the fire, was picked up again.
The Queen Mother was very happy about this.
Therefore, when he knew that Xie Youwei seemed to be hiding from Chu Qin, he summoned both of them to the palace.
It's best to talk about it today.
Xie Youwei looked at the Queen Mother's expression and suddenly smiled.
"Youwei thinks the Queen Mother is right."
That's what compromise means.
After all, she can't go toe-to-toe with the Queen Mother, if she makes the Queen Mother unhappy, her escape plan can be aborted directly.
Because of the high probability, she will be killed directly by the Queen Mother.
After all, the last palace fighting champion was not in vain.
After listening to Xie Youwei's words, the Queen Mother was particularly happy.
After seeing Xiao Jinyan nodding, the Queen Mother smiled even brighter.
The Queen Mother clapped her palms.
"In that case, why don't you two go to the Imperial Garden?"
"Recently, some flowers and plants have been planted in the imperial garden, which are very beautiful, and the concubines in the palace have been discussing the beauty of the imperial garden recently, and the opportunity is rare, so you can go and see it together."
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and looked at Xie Youwei and Xiao Jinyan with a smile.
Although the Queen Mother's face was full of smiles, Xie Youwei was fully clear.
The Queen Mother is not a suggestion, but an order.
Immediately, Xie You smiled slightly and nodded.
"Since the Queen Mother has spoken, it must be extraordinarily beautiful, and Youwei doesn't want to miss that beautiful scenery."
This girl went up.
The Queen Mother looked at Xie Youwei's eyes, with a bit of approval in them.
After a while, Xie Youwei and Xiao Jinyan left the Queen Mother's Cining Palace and went to the imperial garden together.
Summer is approaching, and many of the spring flowers are beginning to wither, so there are indeed some new flowers and plants in the garden.
Xie Youwei looked at the scene in the imperial garden, and his mood became a lot better.
Although it was said that he was forcibly detained here with Chu Qin, he didn't have to go back to face the bald embroidery, which really made Xie Youwei feel a little happy.
Xie Youwei walked half a step faster than Xiao Jinyan, squinting in front of him, breathing in the fresh air.
Neither of them said anything along the way.
Xie Youwei raised his head and looked at the begonia trees that were blooming brightly above his head, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The Royal Garden is different, even this begonia flower blooms more beautifully than other places."
Looking at Xie Youwei's smile, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but hook his lips, casually glanced at the begonia flower, and continued to fix his gaze on Xie Youwei.
"Yes, the begonia flowers in the Imperial Garden are very delicate."
