On the third day, He Jingying couldn't sit still anymore, so she got on the chariot and went to the East Palace."
Erchen has seen his mother."
The woman smiled and made a blessing ceremony.Wang Baoming cordially asked her to come forward to sit at the same table, and the woman sat down as she said."
I thought that I hadn't come to see my mother for some days, so I came to ask for peace."
He Jingying smiled lightly, even with a hint of bitterness."
Good boy, I have a heart.Yesterday, when the Dharma Body came to ask for peace, I also told him to cherish the people in front of him and not to treat you badly. ”Wang Baoming patted her hands on her lap twice and said gently."
The prince just sent someone to say that there was still something important in the East Palace and that he would stay for a few days, but he didn't say why."
Her eyes drooped slightly, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, "Mother, the prince is, but" Wang Baoming saw that her daughter-in-law wanted to speak and stopped, she couldn't help but feel pity, she held the woman's cold hands, and motioned for her to continue.He Jingying finally mustered up the courage and opened her mouth to ask: "The prince met the person he liked in the East Palace" Wang Baoming couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Good boy, things are not what you think" "No, mother concubine." ”She pretended to be strong and raised her head, "If the prince has a girl he likes, he might as well take her back to the mansion and give her a name."
How could Erchen be such an unreasonable person, the previous side concubine Wu, isn't Erchen living in harmony with her, why does the prince stay here and refuse to go back to the house" "Slave, where do you want to go" Wang Baoming suppressed his smile and persuaded with good words, "The Dharma Body stays here to study the way of government, for the sake of business" "Mother concubine can't tell Erchen, where can you not study the way of government, why you have to stay in the East Palace, there must be someone who is difficult for the prince to give up" After speaking, He Jingying took out a handkerchief, and a string of crystal tears slipped down in response to the situation."
I don't know that."
As soon as Wang Baoming's words fell, she sobbed more and more, and she squeezed out a few words intermittently, "Unless the mother concubine lets her son-in-law see the prince's room with her own eyes, there is nothing else, other women, and the son-in-law can rest assured." ”"You kid," Wang Baoming said with a smile, "If you really don't feel at ease, just go and take a look, but the mother concubine has to remind you, being in the royal family, you are so jealous, you are afraid of suffering yourself." ”"Erchen, Erchen has no vinegar" He Jingying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking stubborn, "Then Erchen is going to take a look, can't the mother send someone to pass the word and play tricks on Erchen with the prince." ”"Good, good.Just go and have a look, so you can rest assured. ”He Jingying led the maid through the garden in a hurry, and she really looked like a jealous woman who was going to catch an adulterer.Walking to the gate of Xiuzhu Garden, she broke in without waiting for the rumor, and with that vigorous look, she seemed to have made up her mind not to give the people in the house any time to prepare.Ignoring the doorman's obstruction, the group went straight to the bedroom, pushed open the door and found that there was no one in the house.Also, it is nearly noon, and even those who are sleepy should get up.He Jingying asked the doorman standing aside with a straight face: "Say, where is the prince?"
and "Please let the princess let the villain pass it on." ”The doorman said tremblingly."
It's a good calculation," the woman snorted coldly, looked around, and then went to the study.Aggressively pushed open the door of the outer room, He Jingying turned around and rushed to the people who followed, either sincerely frightened or respectful, and commanded loudly, "Don't let you follow" Close the door, He Jingying walked into the house in three steps and two steps, there was no one to serve in this house.When I entered the room, I saw a man sitting on the couch in front of the window, calmly turning the pages of the book in his hand.Fang's farce outside the house did not alarm him in the slightest, and the smile on his face was as if he was alone."
You're stealing."
The smile on her face widened, and then she asked loudly, "The prince called his sister out to show the concubine" Xiao Zhaoye glanced at the woman, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he turned over and sat up neatly, and replied sharply: "What are you talking about, don't mess around here, go back quickly" "Is the concubine a nonsense, concubine" Her voice gradually lowered.The man's tone was much softer, "It's okay for you to trespass on the king's residence like this, the king doesn't care" The next voice was so low that it was indistinct, and the attendants outside the door looked at each other, and a hanging heart finally fell to the ground."
You really have the means" he smiled and said jokingly, "I didn't expect you to be so vivid as a resentful woman" "What else do you say" The woman pouted dissatisfiedly, "You stay in the East Palace for two days, and you don't give a letter."
Otherwise, why would I have made such a decision, it would have been a shame to have lost face", "This is my fault.Then I'll apologize to you," Xiao Zhaoye smiled evilly, and was about to make a move.He Jingying turned her back and said in a sullen tone, "No need, the prince has tormented the little girl." ”"Come on, I'm afraid you're snickering at the moment."
Looking at her back, Xiao Zhaoye shook his head solemnly, "How, you acted in such a good show, what is the matter?"
Yes, what did the father say that day, why did you stay in the East Palace, it was the father who put you under house arrest, but if you want to get the law out of the situation, how to deal with the situation outside, is it possible to let others slaughter He Jingying's slightly hot cheeks gradually faded in color, and the pounding heartbeat became inaudible.I came here to get down to business, I was full of doubts, I was just here for the Spring and Autumn Plan, it seems that all the doubts are just a sentence of "how are you", and it seems that all the uneasiness is just a glance of "I'm fine." ”The restlessness of these few days made me determined to see him.Fang just saw such a calm and relaxed appearance, although he was angry, but he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.Before she came, she felt that she had countless reasons to see him, but now, those countless reasons had long been forgotten by Qi Qi, so that when she wanted to call them, she was stunned for a long time.Realizing this, the woman was ashamed and ashamed for a while, but she quickly collected her expression and turned around slowly, "What did my father tell you that day, you are willing to stay" Xiao Zhaoye saw calm and cautious on the face that he turned around, and couldn't help but be disappointed.He replied lightly: "There is a case in Wuchang, and the officials involved are quite extensive.My father did not want me to interfere, and he said that if I could stay in the East Palace for five days without contacting the outside world, he would believe in my sincerity and write off the past.It would not do me any good to be an enemy of my father, so I answered. ”"It's just that you can be sure that this is not a delaying tactic by my father" "I just stayed here for five days, and I had good food and drink, so why didn't I allow it" The man hooked the corners of his mouth, and his relaxed tone seemed to tell a happy story."
I hope so."
He Jingying's face was sad and noncommittal, "Then my insistence on breaking in this time will make my father suspicious" "It's hard to say." ”Xiao Zhaoye frowned, as if he was distressed.When the woman saw his situation, she lowered her head depressedly."
Look at you, I'm joking."
Xiao Zhaoye smiled proudly and teased, "We are all fish on the chopping board, whether my father is suspicious or not, whether he keeps his promise, it all depends on him, don't worry about this matter." ”"Hmm," she said, but she still cheered up and asked, "I'm afraid that the news that you are trapped in the East Palace has already spread, and if the courtiers and subordinates outside who obey your orders are in chaos because of this, it will be more than worth the loss."
But if you want me to inform them on their behalf, don't act rashly," Xiao Zhaoye remained silent, "No need.The method of contacting them is too cumbersome for me to explain clearly to you here.For five days, I don't think they will be panicked. ”"That's right."
He Jingying echoed her mouth, but there was a trace of helplessness and loss in her heart.He was such a cautious and suspicious person, his network of influence stretched out like the roots of a tree, but the real source was tightly grasped by him.His branches are not in contact with each other, and they are unaware of each other's existence.If he wants to really catch them all, only he can do it himself."
In this case, the concubine will retire first.""
You've been talking back and forth for a while, why did you suddenly call yourself a concubine" Xiao Zhaoye couldn't help but joke."
This" The woman was asked for a while, and her cheeks were dyed with a thin layer of red, "I wanted to say goodbye, so I remembered the etiquette and made the prince smile." ”Xiao Zhaoye knew that she had misunderstood, so he didn't explain, but said lightly: "In the future, when there are no outsiders, these false gifts can be avoided." ”"Yes."
She agreed, and as she walked outside, she only felt that her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, and there was a soft place in her heart that itched, as if she had been lightly scratched by something.She hurried her steps, and didn't look back, for she didn't know that it might be the last look:
