Returning to the Prince's Mansion, the two of them had just stepped through the door when they saw Eunuch Liu waiting in the front hall. When Baili Yeheng and Huai Moran came back, they immediately greeted them with wide smiles.
"Meet the Crown Prince, Crown Princess." Eunuch Liu was the person close to the Queen. Baili Yeheng looked a little anxious when he saw Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu smiled and said: "We are here this time just to convey a message. The Queen has been thinking about the Crown Princess very much these days and wants to invite the Crown Princess to accompany Feng Jia in the palace."
Huai Moran smiled and said: "Okay, Eunuch Liu, is the Queen okay?"
"Thanks to you, everything is fine. The Crown Princess should leave with this slave now! Otherwise the Queen will keep talking about it." When Eunuch Liu smiled, he had a kind look on his face, which made his heart feel particularly comfortable.
Baili Yeheng had no objection, but his expression was very confusing to Huai Moran. Before leaving, Baili Yeheng seemed to have something to say to Huai Moran, but he hesitated for a moment and finally said nothing.
Entering the palace for the second time, Huai Moran still felt that the palace was majestic and solemn, but it had a kind of haze. She didn't know why she thought of the word haze. Anyway, she disliked this palace more and more.
Following Eunuch Liu, they finally arrived at the Queen's palace. When Queen Ye He saw Huai Moran coming, she immediately became happy, put down the tea bowl in her hand, and waved to her.
"Come on, come on! Come over and let the Queen have a look." Queen Ye He smiled very gently.
Huai Moran walked to Queen Ye He obediently, tidied the queen's hanging hair, and said, "Queen mother, are you feeling well?"
"The queen is in good health, Mo Ran, is Ye Heng okay with you?" Queen Ye He looked at her ambiguously and smiled even more happily.
Huai Moran apologized in embarrassment. Of course she knew the implication of Queen Ye He's words, but she and Baili Yeheng were only a couple in name. I'm afraid they couldn't live up to the Queen's wishes.
"Did Ye Heng bully you? Tell me and I will seek justice for you." Queen Ye He immediately said with seriousness and love.
Huai Moran could only smile more awkwardly and said: "Queen Mother, don't worry about it. The most important thing is that you have to take care of yourself."
"Eh..." Queen Ye He sighed longly and said, "That's okay, it's just that I can't wait to hold a grandson. I don't know if I can survive until that day."
After speaking, Queen Ye He covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly. Huai Moran noticed that Queen Ye He's brows were slightly sad at the moment, which was very similar to Xiaoxiao.
Huai Moran was immediately startled by his own thoughts. Baili Yeheng must not have an Oedipus complex!
"My mother will live a long life," Huai Moran said.
Queen Ye He just shook her head, then she stretched out her hand, took off a two-finger wide purple jade bracelet from her wrist, and put it on Huai Moran's hand.
Huai Moran originally wanted to take it off and return it to the queen, because it was obvious at first glance that this thing was worth a lot of money. She was considered an outsider, so how could she take other people's things casually?
Queen Ye He held her hand and smiled tenderly. Then she asked Huai Moran to accompany her for a walk in the imperial garden. Halfway through the walk, Queen Ye He said that she felt unwell and wanted to go back to rest.
But Queen Ye He was afraid that Huai Moran was not familiar with the rules of the palace, so she kept Huanbi here.
After walking for a while, I saw Princess Ningqing having fun with a man in a blue robe.
Huanbi stood beside Huai Moran and said calmly: "That is the fifth prince Baili Fusu."
"Fusu? What a nice name." Huai Moran said unconsciously as he looked at the blue dress with a gentle and aloof smile.
Baili Fusu turned around and looked back, and when he saw her, he smiled peacefully. Huai Moran was stunned for a moment and returned a smile.
Princess Ningqing followed Baili Fusu's gaze, puffed up her cheeks, and cursed: "Shameless woman."
Baili Fusu lowered his head to look at Princess Ningqing, rubbed her head and said, "How can a child curse?"
Huai Moran was still far away from them, so naturally she couldn't hear what he said. She and Huanbi had no intention of approaching to strike up a conversation, so they turned around and were about to leave.
Suddenly she turned around and a very hard object hit her on the head.
Baili Fusu didn't expect that the little girl had lowered her head just now, like a child who had done something wrong. When he stood up, he would hit him with a stone.
Huanbi glanced at Huai Moran worriedly and said, "If it doesn't matter, why not ask an imperial physician to take a look?"
Huai Moran shook his head and walked over aggressively. Baili Fusu thought she was going to settle a score with Ning Qing, so he immediately pulled Ning Qing behind him and said with an apologetic smile: "This is the Crown Princess! Children are not sensible, you
Why bother arguing with her, right?"
Huai Moran rolled his eyes and said, "Ning Qing, right? Come out by yourself. What's the point of hiding behind others? Do you dare to be a coward who doesn't dare to recognize you?"
"Bitch, shameless! I just beat you, how about it? Do you still want to kill me to silence me like last time?" You were obviously scared to death, your body was shaking unconsciously, but you still pretended not to be afraid of anything.
Look.
"Princess, Ning Qing is still young..." Baili Fusu still wanted to persuade.
Huai Moran glanced at Baili Fusu, then squatted down, looked at Ning Qing, and said: "I'm just cheap and shameless. What can you do to me? Are you going to secretly shoot another arrow? Then throw it from behind.
How many pebbles? But it’s useless. You’re still too young. Arrows can’t kill me, and pebbles can’t hurt me. If I were you, just find a place to hide. When I become stronger, I’ll go find that person to settle the score. You’re like this
A small fight will only make people think you are really bad."
"Why do you say that to me? You don't want to... um..." Baili Fusu covered Ning Qing's mouth.
Ning Qing desperately pulled Baili Fusu's hand, making a very dissatisfied sound.
Huai Moran stood up, looked at Ning Qing condescendingly, and slowly left the imperial garden with Huanbi.
Baili Fusu had a spring-like smile on her face, her curved eyebrows, and the curved corners of her lips, without a trace of hostility. This princess was really interesting.
"Why are you looking at her like that? You are not allowed to look at her." Ning Qing waved her fist in dissatisfaction.
Baili Fusu knelt down, looked at Ning Qing, and said, "What she said makes sense. If you really hate her, you should make yourself better than her instead of fooling around like this."
Ning Qing's watery eyes suddenly turned red, and her voice trembled, as if she was about to cry, "Even you said that about me."
Baili Fusu just smiled and did not answer Ning Qing's words. But Ning Qing actually did not cry, but sniffed and forced back the tears.
Queen Ye He kept Huai Moran in the palace to accompany her for dinner, but before dinner, the emperor sent a message asking Queen Ye He to prepare a family banquet.
A few days ago, I heard that the fifth prince had returned from traveling these days, and this family dinner should be a welcome blessing for him.
Huai Moran looked curiously at Huanbi and the others working as female workers. After a while, he felt magical and chatted with the queen for a few words.
"Empress, the fifth prince is here." Ningzhu walked in and reported.
Queen Ye He nodded and signaled for him to come in.
"See the Queen." Fifth Prince Baili Fusu and Ning Qing said in unison.
Queen Ye He nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand, raised it in the air, and said: "Everyone, get up!"
Ning Qing saw Huai Moran standing next to the queen, angry, but she did not say anything rude again.
"Fusu has lived a good life these years. He must have suffered a lot outside. Your father often talks about you! Now that you are well, just come back." Queen Ye He said with a smile.
Baili Fusu smiled lightly, was respectful and polite, and replied: "It's Fusu who is unfilial. Fusu has gained a lot of knowledge outside the palace in these years."
"You, you are so wild-tempered, when will you be able to behave properly?" Queen Ye He said jokingly.
"Fusu has never been fond of power. It is better to live freely in the world. The queen does not need to worry about Fusu." Baili Fusu was saying.
Baili Yeheng walked in wearing a dark red robe.
"My son, I would like to express my regards to my mother." Baili Yeheng clasped his hands in fists, placed them on his forehead, and leaned over to say hello.
Queen Ye He said hello repeatedly, her smile became more cordial, and her brows were filled with joy.
Huai Moran noticed that although Queen Ye He was very happy, Baili Yeheng didn't have a good face. From the moment he entered the door, there was no extra expression on Baili Yeheng's face. His face was so tight that he looked like someone.
I owed him money and paid him back like chaff.
Compared with Baili Fusu, one is spring breeze and the other is frost breeze.
Why does Baili Yeheng always have a gloomy look on his face every time he comes to see his biological mother? What is he unhappy about?
After Baili Yeheng greeted Empress Ye He, he kept chatting with Fusu, but the content of the chat was limited to anecdotes and strange things.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard of puppetry?" When Baili Fusu talked about puppetry, his eyes shone brightly, full of curiosity about new things.
Baili Yeheng recalled it and said: "I have read some miscellaneous notes, and there are only a few words about the puppet technique. I feel that even if there is, it will probably be lost long ago after so many years."
Baili Fusu's expression suddenly dimmed, but it wasn't that he was disappointed, it was just that his enthusiasm waned slightly.
"My biggest gain from this trip is that I have gained a lot of experience. What does it mean that there are mountains outside the sky? I will never be able to see the beautiful scenery and see so many people and customs in the palace." Baili Fusu said yearningly.
"Ahem... I'm afraid you've forgotten that you have me as your father while you're out there." A majestic voice suddenly interrupted, scaring Baili Fusu's face.
Immediately, Baili Yeheng, Fusu, and everyone present knelt down to greet the Holy Emperor, shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
After the emperor came in, the meal began to be passed around. After each exquisite dish was placed on the table, you had to wait for the emperor to use his chopsticks before you could eat it.
A large group of people gathered around a table to eat, but it didn't feel like it did before. Huai Moran felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, and she began to miss the past. Every time she completed a task, the boss would ask everyone to give her a good rub.
A meal.
Although there are so many people gathering together to eat now, no one dares to say more, and no one tells the truth.
"Try this." Seeing Huai Moran in a daze, Baili Yeheng put a piece of chicken into her bowl and reminded her calmly.
Huai Moran lowered his head to look at the chicken in the bowl and ate it silently. Princess Ningqing opposite her kept glaring at her, and Baili Fusu kept smiling like a spring breeze, giving people a very comfortable and relaxed feeling.
Li Yexuan made some witty remarks from time to time to amuse the queen and emperor, while Baili Yeheng ate in silence.
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are really in love, which makes people jealous." Baili Fusu joked with a smile.
Baili Yeheng looked over and said, "Fifth brother, it's time for you to get married and start a business."
"Ha! Today's pine-flavored salmon is really good. Come and eat more." Baili Fusu also imitated Baili Yexuan's tone and changed the subject.
"Fifth brother, you have to pay tuition to learn how to speak from me." Baili Yexuan turned around and said with a smile.
Baili Yexuan and Baili Fusu deliberately adjusted the dinner, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious and not lifeless.
After dinner, Huai Moran and Baili Yeheng returned home.
