The sky was slightly bright, and the news of Shen Pan'er kneeling in the ancestral hall reached Ye Lingwu's ears.

"Girl, the third girl is punished, will it not be appropriate for us to visit?" Rong Xiu said.

Ye Lingwu put the prepared food into the warm box one by one, and replied: "The second uncle and mother only punished the third girl for kneeling in the ancestral hall, and did not punish the third girl for not being allowed to eat, the third girl must be very hungry after kneeling for a night, let's go and visit, the second uncle and aunt will not blame." ”

Rongxiu had no choice but to follow.

Inside the ancestral hall.

Shen Paner curled up on the futon to take a nap, and when she heard the movement outside the house, she hurriedly got up and knelt down, and when the footsteps were getting closer and closer, she turned her head to peek and saw that it was Ye Lingwu and Rongxiu who came, and immediately fell back in despair.

"Three girls?!"

Ye Lingwu saw Shen Pan'er fall on the futon, and ran over in three steps and two steps, "Third girl, are you okay?" ”

“…… Hungry~" Shen Pan'er opened her mouth several times, and it took a moment to find her voice and say aggrievedly.

Ye Lingwu opened the warm box, took out the plate containing the food inside, and said, "The newly made food in the small kitchen of Jinghetang, the third girl can taste it." ”

Shen Pan'er glanced lightly at the fragrant food placed in front of her, gradually clenched her fists, her nails were deeply embedded in her palms, and she endured hunger and said: "I don't eat, I appreciate Sister Lingwu's kindness, but if I really eat it, it will represent a compromise, and I will never compromise this time." ”

Ye Lingwu frowned and said: "Third girl, why bother, if you really confront the second uncle, it will hurt the relationship between your mother and daughter, and the second uncle and aunt will not let you have anything to do with the Pei family, you must have considered it." ”

Shen Pan'er said in a deep voice: "I know that my mother and father are thinking about me, but they don't know Brother Yuanqing, and they always confuse him with the lord of the Pei family, but they don't know that Brother Yuanqing is a good son." ”

"What kind of good boy is he?" Ye Lingwu blurted out.

The prodigal appearance when he came out of the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion that day was very different from his white clothes.

Shen Pan'er was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to her senses, she plucked her eyes and said, "You go back, leave me alone, I'll kneel here, if my father and mother don't agree, then I'll kneel and die here." ”

“……”

Ye Lingwu saw Shen Pan'er's resolute face, knowing that he couldn't make sense with her at the moment, so he silently put the food in the warm box one by one, and turned to leave.

In the afternoon, someone from the palace spread the word, saying that the emperor and the empress held a banquet in the Yuanqu Palace, and specially invited the heroes and family members who successfully implemented the regulation of the field order in the south to enter the palace to celebrate.

Ye Lingwu had no intention of joining in the excitement, but Mrs. Shen strangely asked Mama Xuan to stay in Jinghe Hall and let her follow her into the palace.

The Yuanqu Palace is very large and close to the Imperial Garden.

It was still early, and Mrs. Shen suddenly said that she wanted to enjoy the flowers, so Ye Lingwu followed her to the Imperial Garden, and the old and the young walked along the path.

The palace ladies and visitors are orderly, and they all hold the dishes on the evening in their hands.

Ye Lingwu followed Mrs. Shen around the corner, and saw that outside the warm pavilion not far away, Jiang Yuan was wearing a snow-blue fur coat, standing in the cold wind with a smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

This warm pavilion is located on the edge of the dragon paste, composed of several small halls, the capital is cold and windy, and there is no palace eunuch on duty outside the warm pavilion.

“…… Old lady, what are you? "Ye Lingwu is not stupid, normal people know that this chance encounter is not an accident when they think about it.

"I like this kid very much, he invited me to come to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers with him yesterday, how can my wife who is more than half a hundred a year like to enjoy the flowers, especially in this winter," Mrs. Shen chuckled, "He just wants to see you." ”

Ye Lingwu frowned, and said, "But...... Old lady I ......"

"There are some things that don't have to be said to me, just make them clear to him." Old Lady Shen said and turned to leave.

Ye Lingwu watched Old Lady Shen leave, and then looked at Jiang Yuan again.

He stood outside the warm pavilion with a smile on his face, waiting quietly.

Ye Lingwu looked at him coldly for a while, walked straight over, separated by a distance of at least three meters, and did not detour after standing still, and said, "What is the matter with Scholar Jiang looking for me today?" ”

Jiang Yuan felt the anger in Ye Lingwu's words, but he didn't think so, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Qingqing looks thin again." ”

Ye Lingwu ignored him.

Jiang Yuan continued: "It's cold outside, Qingqing goes in and sits?" ”

"Don't go, if you have anything to say, just say it here." As he spoke, Ye Lingwu gathered the fluffy cloak on his body and couldn't help but shudder.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen Qingqing for a few days, so I have the courage to write a post and ask Old Lady Shen to take you into the palace together." Qingqing doesn't have anything to say to me? ”

Ye Lingwu became more and more impatient in the face of her, and said angrily: "Of course there is, I explicitly asked Scholar Jiang to stay away from me that day, Mo Duosheng gossiped, why do you have to ask me to meet here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the warm pavilion suddenly opened from the inside.

Two well-dressed palace ladies walked out.

One of the palace ladies said: "Scholar Jiang is here, Your Majesty and the Empress have been waiting for you inside for a long time." ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned. Your Majesty? Emperor? The Queen?

Jiang Yuan didn't panic at all, and pulled Ye Lingwu and walked inside.

The emperor and the empress advocate simplicity, although the palace city is built tall, but the layout of the palace is not luxurious, and the decoration should only be simple and dignified.

Ye Lingwu was in a trance, let him drag him into the house, and then raised his eyes, only to see the emperor he had seen at the funeral of the Queen Mother that day sitting on the top in civilian clothes, and the one sitting on the other side was also the queen who had seen once.

Jiang Yuan looked calm in the face of the two, and saluted: "Weichen greets Your Majesty, the queen mother." ”

Ye Lingwu came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and bowed his head slowly and said, "Minister... The courtiers pay a visit to Your Majesty, the Queen's Mother. ”

The emperor's demeanor was kind: "I hope Shu Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, today I invited you into the palace to reward you and other ministers for their meritorious service in the south." ”

"This is the girl I mentioned in yesterday's debriefing?" The emperor's gaze suddenly pressed on Ye Lingwu. The appearance is delicate, childish and weak, and the jade snow is piled up.

Ye Lingwu's shoulders sank, and he didn't dare to squeak. Compared with the previous imposing appearance outside the warm pavilion, it is like two people.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Back to Your Majesty, exactly." ”

The emperor looked at Ye Lingwu, and said with a smile in an unclear tone: "It turned out to be her, I have seen it at the funeral of the Queen Mother." It's a girl raised in the Hou Mansion in Ningbei, right? I didn't expect you and Wangshu Aiqing to know each other since childhood, by the way, what's your name? ”

Ye Lingwu was a little timid in his heart, and he saluted again calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the courtier's name is Ye Lingwu." ”

The emperor let out a faint "um" and said, "Good name." Before I saw you, I always heard Shu Aiqing praise you, the ancients said that there is something in the eyes of a lover, which is really true. ”

"......" Ye Lingwu was embarrassed, is this a compliment or a depreciation?

The queen glanced at the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of this little girl." ”

The emperor smiled, and said to Ye Lingwu again: "I saw that you have a good relationship with Bangzhou Aiqing, he can speak for you, I think you are a good girl." ”

Ye Lingwu opened his mouth slightly, unable to make a sound.
