Under the blossoming spring sun, at the end of the winding corridor, two tall and elegant figures appeared. Yin Ruyi, the minister of war, in a green robe, and the regent Chu Xuan, who was dressed in dark green and had a face as calm as water.
The maids couldn't help but drop their work and whisper in low voices, their faces turned red, their eyes cautious and a little hopeful.
"Sister De Fei, why does that girl who is walking over look so unfamiliar?" A long way across the corridor, drinking tea under the flower trees, in addition to Concubine De and Concubine Ni, there were several other noble concubines.
concubine.
Concubine De closed the tea lid, glanced at the other side, and stood up with a busy smile, "Miss Zhuang, do you want to see the concubine in the palace?"
"Yeyue has met Concubine De and Concubine Ni, everyone." The girl who replied tied two bunches of black silk with a ribbon. There was a smile on her small and sweet face, and her black pearl-like eyes couldn't hide how young she was.
Proudly, he nodded and greeted several women.
"Yeyue, you are so polite." Concubine Ni quickly stood up and introduced to the sisters with a smile, "This is Princess Zhuang's niece, Zhuang Yeyue, Miss Zhuang."
"Hello, Miss Zhuang."
"Yeyue, when did you come to the capital? Didn't you always live in Taizhou?"
"Yes, but this time my father was promoted by the emperor to the position of Minister of Civil Affairs, so I came with my father."
"Then congratulations. It's so good that the clouds have cleared and the moon shines brightly. Your father was instigated by some sycophants to be demoted and left the capital. Fortunately, our emperor was wise and reused him again." Concubine De smiled and took Zhuang Yeyue's hand affectionately.
"That's good. From now on, you can often come to the palace to accompany the Imperial Concubine. I don't know how much the Imperial Concubine misses you. I remember that she has always loved you like jewels."
"Empress De Fei, please stop laughing at me." Zhuang Yeyue turned around, her black eyes suddenly lit up, "I'm leaving now! Everyone, let's talk later!"
"You left in such a hurry, you didn't even finish your words." Liang Guiren said flatly.
Zhu Cairen, who never got along well with her, glanced at her and snorted, "Don't get in the way of this young couple. Some people are really ignorant."
"What did you say? What a young couple."
"Oh, Mr. Liang, don't you know how to read it yourself?"
Liang Guiren squinted at the girl Zhuang Yeyue running towards the corridor, her clothes fluttering up, and she rushed forward quickly and quickly...
At the other end of the corridor, Chu Xuan and Yin Ruyi were standing there talking quietly, their expressions were misty and they couldn't see clearly.
"The Prince Regent has not yet married. Since this girl is the beloved of the Dowager Empress, she might become the Princess Regent in the future..." Liang Guiren suddenly realized, turned to De Concubine and smiled, "No wonder Sister De Concubine, you
You are so polite to Miss Zhuang."
Concubine De pursed her lips and smiled.
"The regent is now more powerful than one person and more than ten thousand people, and his future will definitely be limitless." Liang Guiren added, "It seems that we have to take some time to pick out a gift and send it to the Zhuang Mansion first."
"That's fine. Isn't it strange that there are so many people?"
"Hey Concubine Li, Guiren Li, Guiren Ming, and Ning Cai, why are you here together?"
Li Fei smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I met a few sisters on the road and happened to be in a bit of a bad mood, so we all went out with her for a walk."
"Ning Cairen, what happened?" Concubine De and the others asked with concern.
Ning Cai'er looked at them, then stroked her chest and said with a depressed look, "It's okay, I don't want to say anything now."
After saying this, he didn't even salute, and just left angrily.
"Ah, this Ning Cairen, a little talented man dares to be so rude. He is really relying on the prestige of his father Ning Guogong to do this." Liang Guiren couldn't help but say.
Li Cairou smiled and said, "Sisters, don't blame her. In fact...she is very sad. She just told us that the emperor's departure from the palace this time may not be a private visit in disguise."
"Ah? Why is that?"
"It is said that the emperor left the palace to find the imperial concubine." Sima Mingyu said bitterly, gritting his teeth.
"What?"
*****The dividing line between a group of women************
"Brother Prince!"
"Slave Daixiu has met the prince, sir."
Seeing the red-cheeked girl running over happily and grabbing her clothes tightly, Chu Xuan was a little stunned for a moment.
"You... Yeyue?" The tone was somewhat uncertain. After all, they had been separated for many years, and they could only make some guesses based on the shadows of the past.
"Yeah!" Zhuang Yeyue's face turned red and she nodded vigorously.
"Why are you here?" After Chu Xuan asked, she suddenly smiled and said, "I'm really confused. My uncle was transferred to Beijing, so naturally you followed him."
"Yes, yes, you signed the official document."
"Ah, Yeyue, Yeyue, so you only have eyes for your prince and brother?" Yin Ruyi teased with a smile.
Zhuang Yeyue then turned around and smiled at him, "Brother Yin."
Yin Ruyi smiled and nodded, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and now that we have seen each other, we have...changed a lot."
"Did it get better, become more beautiful, or become ugly?" Yeyue asked with a smile while stroking her braids.
"Well, of course she has become better and more beautiful, Your Majesty?" Yin Ruyi winked at Chu Xuan.
"You are here to see your mother, so I won't hinder you." Chu Xuan nodded lightly and winked at Yin Ruyi who was standing aside.
"Wait a minute, Brother Wang." She finally saw her sweetheart, but she hadn't seen enough yet. How could Yeyue be willing to let him go? She stretched out her little hand and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and ran into him in a hurry.
In his arms.
Chu Xuan reached out to support her and kept some distance from her without any trace, but a long rosewood box around her waist was knocked to the ground.
Chu Xuan lowered his head, but before he could stop drinking, Zhuang Yeyue picked it up with sharp eyes and quick hands. When he opened it, he was surprised and delighted. He took out an exquisitely carved golden phoenix hairpin and stroked its tassels fondly.
Bao Zhui'er said, "Brother Wangye, this hairpin is so beautiful. Can you give it to Yeyue?"
Of course it’s not good! This is our Qin’er’s favorite thing. I still remember that the little Qin’er was born to hate those pearls and hairpins, especially gold and silver ornaments.
He has a special liking for hairpins. Chu Xuan frowned and said, "Yeyue, don't mess around, give it back to me."
"No, no, I just like it if I like it! Brother Wangye, give it to me. Give it to me. Brother Wangye, I like it so much..." Zhuang Yeyue was loved by her parents as if they were the apple of their eye at home, and she was deeply loved by them.
The concubine is happy, she has always been willful and will act coquettishly at every turn.
Chu Xuan suddenly lowered her face and shouted impatiently, "No! Give it back to me!"
After saying that, he grabbed the long hairpin with his hand, and ignored the stunned and pitiful Zhuang Yeyue. He lowered his head and put the hairpin back into the box and stuffed it into his arms.
Zhuang Yeyue looked at his bone-cold expression, suddenly opened her mouth to cry with a "Wow", covered her little face with her sleeves, and suddenly ran past him.
"Miss!" Upon seeing this, Dai Xiu hurriedly chased after him. When he passed by the prince, he hurriedly saluted, "My slave, please leave."
Yin Ruyi looked at his friend a little speechlessly, and suddenly raised his hand to pat his shoulder, "Let me ask, your expression...can you be a little gentler?"
