Following.

Fu Lingyun followed Pei Guogong into the palace to greet the Queen Mother.

Today's Queen Mother is not Xiao Zhen's biological mother, but Duanwang's biological mother.

Xiao Zhen's biological mother died early, and was later sent to the Queen Mother's palace to be raised.

The Yao family, the mother family of the Queen Mother, is the head of the four major families and controls almost half of the government.

This is also the reason why King Duan was able to lean towards the government and the opposition in the middle of the court.

Because he was a foreign man, Pei Guogong asked the Queen Mother through the curtain and then withdrew.

Fu Lingyun sat respectfully outside the curtain and listened to the Queen Mother's question.

"How old are you?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, sixteen."

The Queen Mother nodded lightly behind the curtain, "Well, yes, it's a woman's best years." The mourning family remembers that when the mourning family served the first emperor, they were also sixteen years old. ”

Fu Lingyun hung her head and didn't dare to answer.

Half an hour later, Fu Lingyun came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, and a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her back.

Although the emperor has long been in charge of the government, many things have to be controlled by the queen mother.

Fu Lingyun counted the time and went to the Mingde Palace.

"Miss, where are you going?" The maid asked, following behind.

Fu Lingyun said: "I borrowed a handkerchief from Miss Su on Meishan last time, and I heard that she was injured and I haven't been able to see her, so I just went to return the handkerchief to her." ”

"But the slave maid heard that Miss Su lives in the emperor's Mingde Palace, and the emperor spoke, no one is allowed to see her without the emperor's permission."

Fu Lingyun: "I just went to return a handkerchief, and I really couldn't see anyone, so I asked someone to hand it over on my behalf." ”

Fu Lingyun said on her lips, and she didn't stop on her feet.

Originally, her purpose was not to see Su Lin'an, what she wanted to see was the emperor.

Sure enough, as soon as Fu Lingyun arrived outside the Mingde Palace, he was stopped.

Fu Lingyun took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and explained his intention.

"I'm here to return Miss Su's veil. Last time on Meishan, I accidentally got my hands dirty, thanks to her handkerchief. ”

The attendant of the Mingde Hall looked at the handkerchief in her hand and did not take it.

Who knows what is on this veil, in case he hurts Miss Su, he has ten heads, which is not enough for the emperor to cut off.

At that moment, a hand reached over and took the handkerchief from her hand.

The chamberlain hurriedly saluted: "See the emperor!" ”

Fu Lingyun also hurriedly turned around, and saw that the emperor had already walked behind her at some point.

He was looking at the handkerchief in his hand.

Fu Lingyun hurriedly saluted: "The courtier Fu Lingyun sees the emperor!" ”

Xiao Zhen's gaze shifted from the handkerchief in his hand to Fu Lingyun's body.

He remembered that on the day Su Lin'an fell off the mountain, Fu Lingyun was also on Meishan, and there was an intersection between the two.

Xiao Zhen's eyes became more and more cold, and his tone was also frosty.

"You are the granddaughter of Pei Guogong?"

"It's the courtier."

"How can Lin'an's veil be in your hand?"

Fu Lingyun said: "The last time the courtiers went to Meishan to enjoy the plum blossoms, they happened to meet Miss Su, when the courtier's handkerchief was blown down the mountain by the wind, and Miss Su lent her handkerchief to the courtier. ”

Xiao Zhen suddenly changed the topic: "How did she fall off the mountain?" ”

"This, the courtiers don't know."

Fu Lingyun really didn't know how Su Lin'an fell off the mountain.

She said: "At that time, the courtiers were enjoying the plum blossoms in Meilin, and Miss Su went up the mountain alone because she had a quarrel with Miss Yao. It wasn't until the next day that the courtiers heard about Miss Su's fall down the mountain. ”

"Get up."

Xiao Zhen finally opened his mouth as if forgiven.

Fu Lingyun got up, raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Xiao Zhen, and then lowered again.

She found that the emperor in front of her had his own coercion, even if he was silent, just going to this station was enough to make people dare not look at him directly.
