Seeing that Yongzhang didn't speak, Huang said with a half-smile, "What's the matter? Third brother doesn't want to?"
Yongzhang came back to his senses and said quickly: "Your Majesty gave me a meal, how could Yongzhang be unwilling? Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
After ordering Jinping to invite Yongxun over, Huang pulled Yongzhang to sit down and then said, "Did your concubine ask you to come over?" When Yongzhang nodded, she asked again: "My concubine is with you.
What did you say?"
Yongzhang said truthfully: "Your concubine didn't say anything. She just asked me to come over early this morning to say hello to you, saying that she needs my help for something." After that, he asked curiously: "I don't know what it is?
A trace of fear flashed deep in Huang's eyes, and he said with a smile on his face: "It's just a small matter. We'll talk about it after breakfast. When the third elder brother has free time, he can come to this palace more often.
Although Yongxun doesn’t say it, I can tell that he misses you as my brother.”
Yongzhang looked complicated and said: "Aren't you worried that I will affect my fourth brother?"
"Are you talking about the Su family?" After Yongzhang nodded, Huang touched the tattoo on her sleeve and said, "I was too nervous before, fearing that Yongxuan would leave me after recognizing the Su family. In fact...
…Su is Yongxun’s biological mother and should visit her. It would be unkind for me to obstruct her in this way.”
Yongzhang was overjoyed and said: "So, you agreed to let your fourth brother go see E Niang?"
Mrs. Huang smiled and nodded: "As long as Yongxun never forgets this adoptive mother..."
Yongzhang said hurriedly: "No, you have been kind to my fourth brother in raising him. He will definitely not forget your kindness. You and my mother are both his mothers."
At this time, Yongxun walked in with Jinping, greeted the queen with a smile, and stuck to Huang's side and said, "What were you and your third brother talking about just now? It was so lively."
Mrs. Huang looked at Yongxuan with pity and said, "The third elder brother said that he would take you to Xinzheku to visit Mr. Su, and I agreed."
Yongxun was stunned, looked at Mr. Huang and said cautiously: "Eniang, do you really want me to go to Xinzheku?"
Mrs. Huang said in a funny tone: "What's the matter, are you still worried that I'm lying to you? In a few days, you and your third brother will go to Xinzheku to visit Mrs. Su. Before you go, ask the small kitchen to make some snacks for you.
.”
Although Yongxuan promised not to see Mrs. Su because he was afraid that Mrs. Huang would be sad, he still had some thoughts in his heart. At this moment, Mrs. Huang took the initiative to relent, which made him extremely happy and said happily: "Thank you, Mother!"
Mr. Huang smiled and said: "Okay, sit down and eat quickly. Eat more, lest you start to feel hungry before the tutor has finished his class."
Yong Xun stuck out his tongue, took a vegetarian steamed bun and took a big bite. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he ate a lot today. After taking the jasmine tea handed by the palace attendant and gargling his mouth, he said to Yong Xun.
Zhang said: "Third brother, it's time for us to leave."
Yongzhang shook his head and said: "I have something to do today that I can't handle. I've sent someone to tell Taifu, so you can go on your own."
Yongxun responded and took the palace attendants away. After he left, Huang stood up and said, "If Third Brother is full, let's go too."
Yongzhang stood up and said doubtfully: "I wonder where your Majesty is taking Yongzhang?"
Facing his gaze, Huang slowly uttered three words, "Yanxi Palace!"
"Yanxi Palace? Going to see the Imperial Concubine? Why?" Faced with Yongzhang's series of questions, Huang took Liu Qi's hand and stood up and said, "No rush, I will tell you slowly on the way, let's go."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Jin Ping said quickly: "I will prepare my shoulder carriage right now."
Huang said with an indifferent expression: "No need, I can just walk there. I saw that Jade was not in good spirits yesterday. You stay here and take good care of her, so that she doesn't get sick."
Jade is the parrot that Yongxun brought. Because its green feathers are particularly bright and look like fine jade under the sun, Huang gave it this name.
Jin Ping said in surprise: "I take care of Jade, so who will accompany my master to Yanxi Palace?"
"Isn't Liu Qi a human?" Huang said with a cold expression, "Or do you think that except for you, there is no one to serve me in Chonghua Palace?"
Jinping heard the displeasure in her words and quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't dare, this slave."
Mrs. Huang glanced at her, said nothing, and left with Yongzhang and Liu Qi. When she walked into the courtyard, Xiao Mencius who was waiting there came up to her, called Qian'er and said: "Master, are you all here?"
It’s ready.”
Huang nodded and said coolly: "Bring it."
Hearing this, Xiao Mencius quickly took out a thin porcelain bottle as high as the palm of his hand from his arms and presented it to Huang. The latter took advantage of the situation and put it into his left sleeve. Because the porcelain bottle itself is slender and not very big, it cannot be touched unless it is touched by hand.
It was touched, so I decided not to find it.
After arriving at Chonghua Palace, Huang said as he walked: "Brother Third, do you think it's strange?"
Yongzhang said truthfully: "I don't understand a bit, and what did the empress just take?"
Seeing Yongzhang staring at his sleeves, Huang subconsciously shrank back, and then said: "Brother Third, you don't need to pay attention to such things, and don't talk about them. When we get to Yanxi Palace later, I will
The palace will look for opportunities to go to the small kitchen of Yanxi Palace. You go there with me, and I will teach you how to cook it later. Also, if they ask why we went there together, you can just say that we happened to meet you on the way."
Huang's words not only failed to resolve the doubts in Yongzhang's heart, but actually made them accumulate more and more. However, he saw that Huang was unwilling to say more, so he did not ask further and nodded silently.
When they stood at the entrance of Yanxi Palace, the palace servants guarding the palace gate had obvious surprise on their faces. After bowing, they hurried in to report. After a while, they came out and said: "Master, please invite Concubine Yi and San'a."
Brother, go in."
Mrs. Huang nodded and walked in. She was very familiar with this Yanxi Palace. She came there every two days and it was almost like her own residence. She walked through the courtyard and soon arrived at the main hall.
Hu and Xia Qing happened to be there, and when they saw Huang coming, they looked quite excited. This was the first time since Huang and Xiayue said those decisive words in Changchun Palace.
It seems that Huang came here to try to repair things.
Mrs. Huang stood still in the palace, knelt down and waved her handkerchief and said, "I, concubine, see the imperial concubine, may the imperial concubine be blessed." After her, Yongzhang also bowed and saluted.
Xianyue's expression was complicated. She lingered on Mr. Huang for a long time, and then she said softly: "Concubine Yi is exempt from the gift, and the third prince is exempt from the gift."
After Huang stood up straight, Xia Qing stood up and saluted her, saying with a smile: "I just wanted to say that I haven't seen the imperial concubine for a long time, but before I could say anything, the imperial concubine came over. What a coincidence."
