The queen looked dignified and said, "Ling Wu, I didn't take a good look at you when I saw you last time, you come closer and let me take a closer look." ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, and cautiously moved two steps forward.

This dress was made when I first entered the capital, with a dark purple cloak and silk cloak and a long jacket with gold and silk scattered all over the place, and a light purple silk jacket with entangled branches and magnolia flowers and a lotus blue moon skirt embroidered with dark silver.

"Her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her teeth are bright, and she is a lovely girl." The queen smiled with satisfaction, "Ling Wu and Wangshu are childhood sweethearts, but looking at the young age, I don't know how old you are this year?" ”

Ye Lingwu paused, subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yuan, and replied: "Go back to the queen's mother, the courtier's daughter is fifteen." ”

The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Fifteen, then it's too late, it's a good age." Are you also from a famous family in Huainan? ”

Ye Lingwu was dumbfounded for a long time, and replied thoughtfully: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers are not from a famous family in Huainan, and their father is just ...... It's just a small businessman in Yuzhou. ”

The emperor and empress were stunned when they heard this, and turned to look at Jiang Yuan.

He still smiled slightly: "Weichen didn't mention it to Your Majesty and the queen's mother, Weichen was sick and weak since he was a child, and he was raised by his parents in a small town in Yuzhou. ”

The emperor frowned, his eyes were obviously not thinking about this matter, he was surprised by Ye Lingwu's background and Jiang Yuan's care about her.

In fact, Ye Lingwu was not surprised by the reaction of the first two people. Since the first emperor, Zhao has emphasized agriculture and suppressed business.

"It turns out that the two of you met in Yuzhou, it's strange that I misunderstood," the queen said with a light smile, "Since Ling Wu was born in Yuzhou, why is he raised in the Hou Mansion of Ningbei now?" ”

Ye Lingwu said: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtier's mother served in the Ningbei Hou Mansion in her early years, and she was the righteous daughter of Mrs. Shen, and later the courtier's mother married in Yuzhou for many years. ”

The queen said slowly: "I see, Ling Wu has a marriage match?" ”

Ye Lingwu panicked: "No... Not married. ”

Empress Ci smiled: "Ling Wu doesn't have to be restrained, just talk to ordinary elders." By the way, do you have someone you like? ”

Ye Lingwu's heart trembled, and he said slowly: "...... Courtiers ......"

Before the words fell, a palace lady came from outside the screen, and after saluting upwards, she said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother, Shen Xiaohou is here." ”

The Emperor and Empress looked at each other.

Ye Lingwu was shocked, his brows furrowed, and he slandered Shen Zhan's purpose for coming here.

Jiang Yuan casually picked up the tea bowl and tasted it.

The atmosphere froze, and the emperor spoke first: "Let him in." ”

Gong Efu was well-known, and hurriedly retreated to invite someone.

After a while, there was movement outside the screen, and everyone looked up to see a tall young man with a dark golden halo on his back walking quickly, and his momentum was compelling.

Shen Zhan's gaze first swept over Ye Lingwu and Jiang Yuan, who were sitting on the left side, and finally landed on the top, raised his arm and said, "Weichen Shen Zhan, meet Your Majesty, Queen Mother." ”

"Bang Zhou rarely comes to see me and His Majesty in private, is it empty today?" The queen was still smiling.

The emperor raised his hand to give him a seat and said, "Yes, it's still early before the time of the dinner, why does Bangzhou Aiqing think about coming here?" "If it was in the past, Shen Zhan would not have met the emperor and empress in private.

Shen Zhan sat down directly opposite Ye Lingwu, his eyes fell on her from time to time when he came in, and in the face of the questions of the first two people, he said with a calm expression: "Wei Chen hasn't seen him for a long time and hasn't asked His Majesty and the queen to say goodbye, and today he came while he entered the palace." ”

Ye Lingwu buried his head, looked at the brocade red embroidered blanket under his feet, felt the burning gaze from the opposite side, and his heart was pounding.

The emperor said: "Bang Zhou Aiqing said this, it's really been a long time since I saw you enter the palace to say goodbye, and yesterday's debriefing was also in the Qinzheng Palace to chat a few words." ”

The queen said: "The boat came just in time, Ling Wu was raised under the knee of Mrs. Shen, and she is half a girl from the Hou Mansion of Ningbei, so I just talked about Ling Wu and there are people who are happy." ”

Shen Zhan said softly: "When did the queen mother care about her private affairs?" ”

Ye Lingwu's heart hung slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the queen, but saw that her expression remained unchanged, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I looked at Shute and asked me to say goodbye, and when I mentioned Lingwu, I praised her a lot, and I wanted to see her. ”

Shen Zhan's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't send a single one.

The queen said: "Bang Zhou and Wangshu have paid a lot for the trivial matters of the court, this year is also twenty and two, but they are all alone, if you have a favorite girl, you can talk to me and Your Majesty, I and Your Majesty set a big gift, and give marriage." ”

Shen Zhan stared at the "ostrich-shaped" girl opposite, turned to look at Jiang Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the queen has a good idea, Weichen has a favorite girl in his heart, but now the girl's mind is unknown, if his favorite girl can communicate with Weichen, Weichen will personally ask His Majesty to give a decree to give marriage." ”

"Okay, okay, I thought I was anxious about the marriage of the two of you before Wangzhou, Wangshu, and now you both have a favorite girl, so good."

The emperor was delighted, and the queen looked at the three people below, but she had a sad face, and there was a faint bad guess in her heart.

Jiang Yuan and Shen Zhan looked at each other without any timidity, not even half ashamed, and said: "I often heard the ministers of the court and the central government say that Shen Xiaohou is not close to women, and there is not even a maid in the courtyard, I don't know what kind of girl can make Shen Xiaohou fall in love?" ”

Shen Zhan's eyebrows furrowed, faintly angry, and he was about to speak, but when he saw the pleading meaning in Ye Lingwu's eyes, he sighed secretly and endured it.

At this time, Gong E came to spread the feast of Yuanqu Palace, and everyone in the warm pavilion went to Yuanqu Palace together.

Yuanqu Palace is full of carved corridors and paintings, which is really magnificent and rich, that is, the doors and windows and porch pillars are painted with gold and color.

There were already eunuchs waiting at the gate of the palace, and as soon as the emperor and queen arrived, the whole palace resounded with the eunuchs' announcements.

As the emperor and his entourage entered, they couldn't even reduce their sense of existence, as soon as Ye Lingwu stepped into the hall, she saw that everyone looked over, and her burning eyes were about to drown her.

This banquet is different from the past, and the people who go to the banquet are all the heroes who went south, as well as the families of these heroes.
