There was a sound of footsteps, and Xiao Yunqian looked up, and saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids walking around a young man like stars holding a moon in his arms. He was wearing a navy blue round-collar robe, with a simple style, but when Xiao Yunqian looked carefully, that

The material is extremely rare

Some Shu brocades require an embroiderer half a month to weave a palm-sized piece. The pieces are so precious that as tribute, only one and a half pieces are sent to the homes of the rich every year. Even Xiao Yunqian is not qualified to wear them.

Clothes made of such materials.

The young man is not very old, but he is extremely handsome. When he grows up, he will be a handsome man that is no less than anyone else. His eyes are sparkling and particularly brilliant, like two flames dancing in the eye sockets. But he looked towards

When it rained, Xiao Yunqian could clearly feel his enthusiasm and surprise.

Xiao Yunqian had already vaguely guessed the identity of the young man. Sure enough, Yulan had already bowed down: "My maid, please see His Royal Highness Prince Lu. May Your Highness be blessed with peace and good fortune!"

The young man quickly gave him a hand, his eyes full of joy: "Sister, why are you here? If it weren't for Ben... I saw that the ice and snow had melted and the weather was getting warmer, so I took them around on a whim, and I didn't know that you had already entered.

You're in the palace, why didn't you let anyone know before you came?" There was an indescribable intimacy in his tone.

Yulan smiled. Ye Minzhao was like the rising sun. He was always so energetic every time he saw him. Seeing him made people feel better. Just when he was about to speak, Xiao Yunqian made a sideways comment: "My maid.

Xiao Yunqian meets Lu

Your Highness!" As she spoke, Yingying bowed down. She had heard of this fifth prince a long time ago, but over the years she had only been in and out of Chengqian Palace and never to Jingyang Palace, so Ye Minzhao

Today is the first time I’ve seen him.

Ye Minzhao turned around and faced Xiao Yunqian with another attitude. His face was tense and sullen, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"My grandfather is Xiao Zongchang, the Minister of Civil Affairs!" Xiao Yunqian wanted to say: I am your future fourth sister-in-law!

Xiao Yunqian wanted to stand up straight and answer the question, but he was a prince, and his status was there. If he didn't ask you to get up, it would be rude if you got up. So although Xiao Yunqian cursed in his heart, he still had to show up like that.

I dare not get up from the posture of worship.

She had scolded the Queen Mother one hundred and eighty times in her heart. If the old lady had not died at the right time, when she and Ye Minyu got married, when she became the princess, she would not have to be so controlled by others.

Ye Minzhao seemed to have not noticed that she was still in a weird posture, and snorted coldly, saying: "It turns out she is Mr. Xiao's granddaughter. I thought she was an ignorant country woman who dared to have sex in the Forbidden City.

You made a false statement and slandered the Crown Princess, what do you think the king should do with you?"

Xiao Yunqian dared to say that in front of Yulan. On the one hand, he did not take Yulan, a concubine of the Yang family, to heart. On the other hand, he relied on the fact that his aunt was the imperial concubine, and she was the quasi-concubine of Zhao. Her status was

She was sitting here, thinking that no one would dare to do anything to her. Unexpectedly, Ye Minzhao heard her.

Xiao Yunqian opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment, but she was also a proud and arrogant person, so she was suppressed like this. How could she swallow the tone in her heart? She argued forcefully: "My daughter was so angry that she blurted out, and besides, the whole

The news has already spread in the capital, if the prince doesn’t believe it, he can send someone to investigate!”

Ye Minzhao snorted: "Confused! The Xiao family has been scholarly for generations, how could they teach you to be like this! Are you willing to believe those ignorant women who gossip about nothing? They dare to spread it indiscriminately. Do you know what it means to criticize the Crown Princess behind her back?

A serious crime?" Xiao Yunqian was ashamed and angry at the naked humiliation, but the other party had a noble status, so she did not dare to refute for a moment, and being caught with a sore leg, she had no way to defend herself!

Ye Minzhao actually had no friendship with the Crown Princess at all. Yuxin had just entered the palace not long ago, and she didn't have much interaction with Jingyang Palace. Just seeing Xiao Yunqian's aggressive look towards Yulan just now, Ye Minzhao became very angry at that time

Come on, now I wish I could slap her twice in the mouth with my own hands to vent Yulan's bad breath. Besides, this stupid woman kept slandering the Crown Princess and asked him to catch her. The excuses to deal with her are all ready.

Ye Minzhao's eyes flashed and he looked at Yulan. Yulan immediately understood what he meant and thought to himself that this little guy is also a powerful character. If he knows how to seize the enemy's weakness, he will chase after him fiercely and think about it.

She thought that although Xiao Yunqian was hateful, she was just talking about it, and it did not harm her in the end. Since the young prince had vented his anger on her behalf, she did not have to have any grudges with the Xiao family, so she shook her head at the young prince.

The young prince then said: "For Mr. Xiao's sake, I will go around you today! If you do it again in the future, I will definitely punish you severely!" He waved his hand in disgust, as if to chase away you.

Like a fly: "Don't go down yet!"

Xiao Yunqian was not able to stand up until this moment. Her face was red with shame and anger. After talking for a long time in a half-crouched position, her legs were already numb. The personal maid rushed over to support her arm.

He didn't sit down on the ground. He already hated Ye Minzhao and Yang Yulan in his heart.

In the end, I didn't dare to stay any longer and left in despair.

Seeing Xiao Yunqian walking away, Ye Minzhao couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a while!"

Yulan said with a smile: "Isn't it? When we saw him today, the young prince became more and more heroic..." Yulan had always regarded Ye Minzhao as his younger brother, but just now when he had Xiao Yunqian's attack, his aura was full, so full

Yulan's aura and the inherent power of the superior immediately made Yulan view Ye Minzhao differently.

Ye Minzhao felt a little embarrassed when she praised him, his face turned slightly red, but his eyes were shining with joy.

After all, Yu Lan was a little worried and reminded: "You have offended Miss Xiao. Her aunt is the imperial concubine, and she herself is also the future fourth prince's concubine. It's best not to cause you any trouble!"

Ye Minzhao smiled proudly and said: "Don't say that she is not the prince and concubine of Lao Shizi now. Even if she is, I am the emperor's son and a serious son and grandson. What can she do to me?"

"But..." But aren't you afraid that the imperial concubine will find out and give you little shoes in Jingyang Palace? Besides, King Zhao doesn't have a very good temper, either?

Ye Minzhao seemed to know the meaning of her words, and said with a smile: "If the concubine had not had her own means, Jingyang Palace would not have survived to this day! Just giving in cannot solve all the problems! Sister, don't worry about it!

"

Yu Lan opened her eyes in surprise. This was the second time today that her view of Ye Minzhao had been refreshed. Thinking about it, how could Ye Minzhao be able to live in a place like the harem until now without some scheming means?

?Has she, a half-dabbled ancient person, underestimated the wisdom of the purebred ancients?

The two of them were talking. The eunuch and maid next to Ye Minzhao knew their master's likes and dislikes and kept them far behind. Yulan brought Xiaoyue into the palace, and she followed suit. They were given enough space to talk.

.

Ye Minzhao asked: "Why did my sister enter the palace?"

"I came in this time to pay my respects to the Crown Princess!"

Ye Minzhao nodded in understanding. The Crown Princess had been in the palace for some time, so it was part of the topic to summon her family members to the palace to talk privately.

Yu Lan smiled and said, "After I finish meeting the Crown Princess, I can go and pay my respects to Concubine Hui and the young prince, okay?"

Ye Minzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's a deal!"

While talking, the two of them came to a fork in the road, and Ye Minzhao said: "The Yuqing Palace is ahead, so I'll send my sister here!" Although the emperor likes the brothers and sisters among the princes, he is more afraid of them crossing paths.

Taimi threatened his throne. Ye Minzhao also knew how to avoid suspicion.

Yulan nodded: "Young prince, please help yourself. I'll take my leave for now. We'll see you later."

The melting sunshine envelopes the Forbidden City like a veil, making people's hearts warm.

After Yulan left, Ye Minzhao no longer had the intention to appreciate the scenery of early spring, and hurriedly returned to Jingyang Palace with the young eunuch.

As soon as I arrived at Yuqing Palace, I saw two pretty little palace ladies guarding the door. When they saw Yulan, they leaned over and saluted: "You must be Miss Yang Qi. Follow me to see the Crown Princess. Our Lady is already waiting for you."

It’s been a long time!”

Seeing that the two little palace maids were thirteen or fourteen years old, Yu Lan looked at them with a proper and steady look, and nodded secretly: "Lead the way!"

The little palace maid led Yu Lan into the Yuqing Palace. The prince's east palace is famous, but it is not actually very big. It is just that the furnishings are extremely elegant. In the courtyard, there are breathtaking palace maids and eunuchs standing in front of the door.

It looks very orderly, but there is an indescribable feeling of depression - everything seems a bit lifeless.

Yulan's mood felt a little depressed for some reason.

In front is the warm pavilion where the Crown Princess has her daily banquets. The little palace maid stood in front of the curtain and reported: "To the Crown Princess, Miss Yang Qi is here!"

A voice that Yulan was familiar with came from inside: "Ask her to come in!"

The little palace maid responded, lifted the curtain, and Yu Lan entered the Dongnuan Pavilion. The deep and spacious room was very quiet, and sandalwood incense smoke was floating in the air. Several palace maids stood around with their hands hanging, not daring to leave the atmosphere.

Luzhi and Lurui stood behind Yuxin, while the other two dowry girls and the two nuns were not there.

Yuxin was wearing an azure-colored coat, with a phoenix spreading its wings embroidered on the coat. This phoenix alone showed her unique and noble status - no matter how high your status is, no matter how high your status is, no matter how high your status is.

The royal concubine, the imperial concubine, also absolutely cannot use the phoenix pattern.

Before Yulan entered the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Hui, the old lady specially found a nanny to teach Yulan the court etiquette. Yulan bowed down according to the instructions of the nanny, and gave Yuxin the courtesy of a monarch and a minister: "Your Majesty Yang Yulan

See you, the Crown Princess, and wish you happiness and peace!"

"I'll give you a seat!" Yu Xin's voice trembled slightly. The little palace maid quickly brought a brocade stool, and Yulan thanked her and sat down properly.

Yuxin then waved her hand: "You all can go down!" The little maids agreed in a low voice, bowed and retreated, leaving only two big maids, Green Branch and Lu Rui, in the room.

Yu Xin stood up, stepped forward, and grabbed Yu Lan's hand: "Sister Qi, I finally got to see my mother-in-law! I miss you so much!"

Yulan stood up, held Yuxin's hand tightly, and looked at her expression carefully. It had only been a few days since they last met, and Yuxin had lost a whole circle. Even though she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and exquisite jewelry, she had that beautiful look on her face.

Her expression was as calm as if she had aged ten years. The lively, proud, unruly and willful Yuxin seemed to only exist in a dream.

Yulan's eye sockets were sore, and she held back her tears and said, "Eighth sister, how are you doing?"

Seeing Yulan like this, Yuxin also had red eyes, but she had a strong temper, so she held back her tears and forced a smile: "Everything is fine with me!" She asked anxiously: "I heard that my mother and grandmother are all good.

I'm sick, but how can I get better? I really want to go out of the palace to see the two elders, but you know, with my current status, leaving the palace is just a delusion."

Yulan explained: "My wife was overly grieved because of the sudden death of the Queen Mother, and she was feeling a little unwell. She took a prescription prescribed by the doctor a few days ago, and now she is feeling well. She will be fully recovered in a few days. You can send me the news as soon as possible.

At home, my wife wanted to see you, but I stopped her. She also asked me to bring a message to you, and she will pass the sign to you as soon as she is well!"

Yuxin nodded repeatedly: "That's good." Then asked: "What about grandma?"

Yulan said: "Grandma is getting older. She seemed to have recovered from the illness she suffered a year ago, but in fact she became increasingly weak. After the Queen Mother passed away, the old man went to the palace to cry for several days in a row and contracted the cold.

My father invited the imperial doctor from the palace to come and take a look. After taking the imperial doctor's prescription, his condition has improved. Seeing that the weather is getting warmer, I think it will be better if my grandmother's illness is cured and she will be taken care of!"

Yuxin asked about the situation of everyone in the family in detail, and Yulan talked about the current situation one by one, saying: "Everything at home is fine, you don't need to worry about it, let's talk about you, the old lady is worried!"

Yu Xin forced a smile and said, "I'm not being nice. What's there to say?" The more she said this, the more worried Yulan became. He held her hand a little tighter and lowered his voice and asked:

"How is His Royal Highness treating you?"
