"Haven't you woken up yet?" Looking at Anyang, Xie Yangui looked inexplicable.

Although she had not entered the palace in the past few days, when she was saluting outside the city, she deliberately glanced into the chariot.

Xie Yangui has grown up beside Xie Yan since she was a child, and even if she has been to Liaobei for many years, she can see her changes at a glance.

It's still so radiant, the demeanor is unmatched, not fat or thin, where has it changed?

"It's not that it's changed." An Yang straightened his clothes and walked back with Xie Yan, "That's it...... A feeling."

"It's clear that the one who is there is the concubine Niangniang, but I just think it's different, I don't believe you will take a look later."

She said this, Xie Yangui raised her eyebrows, this is the time to rest, just in time to go and ask for peace.

She stopped to discern the direction, then grabbed An Yang and walked towards the front of the line.

Under the shade of the tree, Emperor Mingde and Xie Xi sat side by side, and not far from them, were the other concubines and princes.

Although most of the attention was on Xie Hui, Emperor Mingde didn't forget to ask the others a few words at this time.

The eldest prince and the third prince were beside their respective concubines, and the fifth prince sat alone, bowing his head and eating what he was doing.

The Ten Princes and the Fifth Princess snuggled up to Concubine Lin and looked very well-behaved.

"Look, does the concubine feel like she has changed?" An Yang tugged at the corner of Xie Yangui's clothes and asked in a low voice.

Xie Yangui looked over, and it happened that Xie Yan's eyes were cast over, and when he saw her, a smile appeared on his face, as usual.

"I don't think anything has changed, but I see that His Majesty has changed a little." Xie Yangui beckoned to Xie Ji and said in the same low voice.

Although it was still far away, her eyes could be enough to notice Emperor Mingde's reaction.

"I don't see it." An Yang looked over and responded in a low voice.

While the two were talking, they had already come closer, and Emperor Mingde was happy, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately waved his hand, "No need to be polite."

"Yan Gui, your aunt was still thinking about you just now, why did you come by yourself?" Retracting his gaze at the five princes, Emperor Mingde asked with a smile.

When Xie Yangui and An Yang came over, he was about to talk to the fifth prince.

"Back to Your Majesty, the county lord and his ministers just came back from the forest, thinking that they wanted to come to ask for peace, so they stopped by." Xie Yangui responded with a smile and came to Xie Xi's side with An Yang.

"Are you hungry?" Leaving early in the morning, it was already noon, and when he left from Qifeng Palace, Xie Ji brought a food box and used some with Emperor Mingde on the way.

She beckoned, and Yu Qi came over with another food box, which was specially prepared for Xie Yangui and placed in the chariot behind.

"Thank you, auntie." Xie Yangui was also not polite, and stretched out his hand to take it, "Your Majesty, aunt, is the minister going back first?"

"You kid, where did you come to say goodbye? I think you're just thinking about the food box your aunt left for you." Emperor Mingde smiled, looking like he couldn't do anything with her.

When Xie Yan didn't come over, Emperor Mingde and the princes didn't smile like this when they talked.

But in the face of Xie Yangui, it is really different, as if she is from the royal family.

The fifth prince squinted at her, pushed his hand a little harder, brought the crushed food to his mouth, and chewed it fiercely.

Xie Yangui didn't pay attention to him, she carried the food box and smiled at Emperor Mingde.

"Go ahead." Emperor Mingde waved his hand.

——

"Yo, Lord Lu, why have you been there for so long?" Xu Wei raised his head from the recital in front of him and looked at Lu He with concern.

"I'm a little tired from watching, so I'll take a breath." After sitting down on the case again, Lu He's expression was natural.

He said so, and his face looked very normal, so Xu Wei didn't ask again.

In fact, Lu He took advantage of the convenience to deliver a letter from the Taihe Palace.

After all, this is a royal palace, even if the Taiji Hall is specially set up for them, they need to guard against the walls and ears.

It is good to be able to deliver letters, but extra caution must be taken.

It's as if he's clearly in too

The Extreme Hall dealt with the sparseness, but the messenger made use of the Taihe Palace, which was rarely opened.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Lu He has sent a letter in this way in the palace, and now that he thinks about it, he rarely feels nervous.

Fortunately, the man who made him willing to take the risk of delivering the letter was trustworthy enough that he would not have dared to do so.

It was not until the evening that the people who handled court affairs in the Taiji Hall were able to leave the palace.

They don't do it every day.

——

The autumn hunting team went smoothly, and every day after breakfast, Xie Yangui would be called away by someone sent by Anyang.

At first, Zhou Jin thought that Anyang had nothing to do in the carriage, so he called Xie Yangui, or went to the carriage to chat, or ran horses together.

But after a few times, he saw the trick.

Xie Yangui deliberately avoided it because of him.

The few times Zhou Jin went to see Dr. Xin, he traveled after breakfast and came back after lunch or before dinner, mainly according to his physical condition.

Although there was no guard in the mansion to follow, but now that I think about it, since he is out of the mansion, there will always be people who can see him.

Xie Yangui must also know, and he will try to avoid her when he is uncomfortable, not wanting her to know or see.

So she took that time as a rule, thinking that soon after breakfast, he might be uncomfortable, and she avoided it in advance, so that he didn't have to bear it.

Zhou Jin shook his head, he felt that he should find a time to have a good talk with her.

I didn't say it in the past, because he didn't know the real purpose of Xie Yan's return to Beijing.

He does have a lot of secrets on him, and if he touches it, he may get hurt, and he doesn't want her to get hurt, so he chooses to take it himself.

Now that I have guessed why she returned to Beijing, and know that she may be in danger at any time, I have to talk to her about it.

Not only to talk about her, but also about herself, so that she can understand more.

"If you're not paying attention when you're riding, you're not afraid of falling!" Anyang's horse followed Jing Yu's side, and seeing Xie Yangui's absent-minded appearance, he raised his hand and patted her, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xie Yangui shook his head.

"Are you worried about Zhou Jin? Otherwise, don't find a reason to come out, you are husband and wife, what can't we talk about?"

Speaking of this, An Yang deliberately lowered his voice, "It just so happens that you also have secrets, and he also has secrets, make an exchange."

"Zhou Mu'an!" Xie Yangui turned his head to look at her, and his tone was very stern.

An Yang hurriedly crossed her index finger and put it in front of her lips, her lips squirmed slightly, and if she listened carefully, she could vaguely hear her broken thoughts, "I don't know anything, I don't know anything."

"There's no next time." Seeing her like this, Xie Yangui's face turned slightly pale, and An Yang hurriedly nodded and took his hand away.

"I was just going to ask you, did you send a reply to the old prince?" It was the old prince who wrote to ask her about her, which made Anyang completely suspicious.

Xie Yangui wanted to know, if the old prince of Qian'an learned the real purpose of her return, would he treat it as ignorance? Still is......

"Yes, don't worry, as long as there is a reply, I will tell you immediately." Anyang assured.

Xie Yangui nodded, still frowning slightly, An Yang looked at her and guessed again, "Are you ...... Because of the concubine?"
