thank you + extra

She walked quickly towards the palace servants, and saw an eunuch walking out of the dozen or so palace servants.The eunuch was born with a beautiful face with red lips and white teeth. He came forward respectfully and saluted with a smile on his face: "His Majesty, rest assured."

Liu Zao sized him up and finally remembered that he seemed to be from Changle Palace.The raging anger that was just aroused for Xie Yi was instantly suppressed by force, Liu Zao remained expressionless and said, "How is the Queen Mother?"

The eunuch's smile deepened, and he hurriedly replied: "The queen mother is well, I only miss your majesty's ears. If your majesty can come to Changle Palace, it will surely make the queen mother happy."

Liu Zao smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "I miss you, Queen Mother."

Her smile is only on the surface, anyone can see that it is perfunctory.The eunuch who served the Empress Dowager knew a lot of things, and also saw with his own eyes how caring the Empress Dowager was to the little emperor, how she greeted the little emperor with care, but the little emperor was very cold and indifferent.

The eunuch felt very dissatisfied, the little emperor was just a lost son, if it hadn't been for good luck, it happened that Emperor Zhao had no children, and the king of Changyi was out of line, how could she get her turn.Right now, she is still pretending to be decent, as if she is really a prince and princess who grows up in the court.

Just being able to be reused by the Empress Dowager, the eunuch would not be so superficial as to show his thoughts on his face, he said with a smile: "I am ordered by the Empress Dowager to come and see if the summer vacation is ready."

But he didn't know that he belittled the little emperor in his heart, and when the little emperor saw him, he secretly had an idea.

When talking with Xie Yi just now, her back was turned to this side, but Xie Yi could see the situation here, they were talking well, but Xie Yi suddenly teased her and threw her sleeves away angrily.She was only focused on getting angry and didn't have time to think about it. Now thinking about it, could it be that Xie Yi saw this eunuch doing it intentionally?

Liu Zao was keen and careful, and guessed in an instant that Prime Minister Xie deliberately made the queen mother think that the two of them were incompatible with each other.

Hearing the eunuch's words, Liu Zao said politely: "It's quite appropriate, thank you Queen Mother for your concern."

The eunuch relayed a few more words about the Empress Dowager's concern, and then, as if asking casually, he started talking about Xie Yi: "I just saw Prime Minister Xie just now. Prime Minister Xie has always been busy with work, so he has time to visit the forbidden area."

He really mentioned Xie Yi.Liu Zao's brow showed annoyance, but he retracted his anger for a while, and his tone became slightly cold: "How can I know the itinerary of thanking Prime Minister?"

The eunuch hurriedly lowered his head, as if he had heard something he shouldn't know, and was terrified.

Liu Zao glanced at the top of his head, and thought again, if Prime Minister Xie really intended to make the Queen Mother think that they were at odds, what good would she do?The Empress Dowager tried every means to win her over, and used her identity to deal with Prime Minister Xie, but Prime Minister Xie often provoked her, as if impatient to push her to the Empress Dowager, what was she going to do?

No matter what, Liu Zao couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't help but recall Xie Yi teasing her with a smile, and a pang of anger arose in his heart, maybe she had no other intention, but to make her angry, just to see her angry face for pleasure.

Liu Zao looked at the eunuch, thought for a while, and asked, "What's your name?"

In the past, when there were palace attendants from Changle Palace, the little emperor mostly dismissed the matter as soon as possible, and never asked for their names.The eunuch was terrified, and replied respectfully: "My name is Zhou Xie."

"Zhou Xie." Liu Zao said silently, looked at him twice, and walked to the announcement room.

She didn't make him back down.Zhou Xie pondered for a moment, then hurriedly followed, racked his brains, and started talking with the little emperor.However, the little emperor has always been reticent, and has never revealed his preferences, so there are very few things that can be used for conversation.

Fortunately, Zhou Xie was quick-witted, and quickly turned the conversation to Ganquan Palace, talking about the beauty of the palace.Liu Zao didn't talk to her, only nodded occasionally to show that she was listening.

The two arrived at Xuanshi Hall, Liu Zao stopped, she looked at Zhou Xie again, smiled with him, and said, "Go back."

Zhou Xie's heart beat fast, he saluted and stepped back respectfully.

No matter in the palace or in the court, everyone knew that the Empress Dowager wanted to win over the emperor, but the little emperor had always refused to do so.However, this time, His Majesty softened unexpectedly and talked with him for a while.Zhou Xie didn't know why His Majesty changed his mind, but he was keenly aware that he was about to make a fortune.

If he can win His Majesty's favor and fulfill the Queen Mother's wish, he will surely be able to rise to the top.

With this speculation, Zhou Xie even walked a little faster, his back was very straight, and he didn't pay attention to what was behind him. The little emperor stared at him coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Xie returned to Changle Palace, and was about to tell the queen mother what he had gained from this trip.

"Your Majesty and Prime Minister Xie parted ways again. The minister tried a word. Although His Majesty's words were perfunctory, the expression on his face was extremely angry. It can be seen that there has been a long-standing grudge with Prime Minister Xie."

The Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully.

What she stood on was a terrace extending from the back of the Changxin Hall.Summer is hot, but here is just in the shadows, and there is just a breeze, gently blowing on the face, but it is refreshing and cool.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was not very happy, Zhou Xie hurriedly stopped talking and dared not speak any more.

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, she thought exactly the same as the Emperor, why did Xie Yi have a bad relationship with the Emperor, it would be very easy for her to coax the little Emperor who has no experience in the world.But she did not doubt that Xie Yi and the emperor intended to act in a play, the reason was very simple, if the little emperor was acting, it would be impossible for him to leak every flaw.

She thought for a while, Fang and Zhou Xie smiled slightly and said, "You have been away for a long time, but something got stuck on the way?"

Zhou Xie was a little proud that the little emperor treated him differently, but now in front of the empress dowager, he didn't dare to show that pride, he politely asked the emperor his name, walked with him all the way with the emperor, and said it out.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was quite surprised, she glanced at Zhou Xie, and couldn't figure out why the little emperor treated this little yellow family differently.Isn't she much better than this person?Every time I go back, isn't the little emperor very indifferent?

It's fine if she can't figure out what Xie Xiang is thinking, but now she has no idea even what the little emperor is thinking.The queen mother suddenly felt irritable, and her expression suddenly sank.

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

Zhou Xie didn't dare to lift his head, and said submissively, "It's gone."

The empress dowager noticed his smooth forehead, and suddenly realized that the emperor was fifteen years old, and it was the first year of love, could it be that he had taken a fancy to this little yellow door?

Liu Zao intentionally treated the eunuch differently, firstly, to make it appear that she and Xie Yi had a bad relationship, and she was at a loss, so she naturally wanted to lean towards the Queen Mother; secondly, Changle Palace would definitely send someone again, instead of dealing with different people , it is better to deal with only one person.It is always easier to deal with one person than with different people.But he didn't want what she did, but in the eyes of the queen mother, he figured out another meaning.

Liu Zao didn't know if she had just fallen in love, she was full of Xie Yi, on the one hand she found this person very annoying, but on the other hand she had expectations for her.

Strange to say, Liu Zao couldn't figure out why she was always so tolerant towards Xie Xiang.No matter how Xie Xiang made her angry, she would always be able to calm down after being angry for a while, and when I see you next time, it is still difficult to speak ill of her.

Speaking of it, it seems that when we first met, she paid special attention to Xie Xiang.The fragrance on her body is very familiar, she seems to have smelled it somewhere before.It's just that she can't remember it anyway.

But Liu Zao has already figured it out, if Xie Yi gets angry with her again next time, she will definitely not be friendly with her again, so that she can understand that she also has a temper!

Chapter 27

In June, the Son of Heaven was lucky enough to escape the summer heat in Ganquan Palace.

Ganquan Palace was originally the Linguang Palace of the former Qin Dynasty.During Emperor Wu's reign, he issued an edict for major repairs. After the completion, Emperor Wu liked the coolness and beauty of this palace and lived here often.As a result, from then on, the counties of the counties and states are here, the princes and kings of the dynasty are here, the banquets are here, all matters are discussed here, and the people are recruited and moved to live here.This makes Ganquan Palace, named the Summer Palace, actually the accompanying capital of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, this time I was lucky to go to Ganquan, the emperor issued an edict, according to the old practice of Emperor Wu, accompanied by a group of officials, and went to Ganquan together.

This edict was naturally written by Xie Yi in the name of the Son of Heaven.

It takes one day from Weiyang Palace to Ganquan Palace, starting at sunrise and arriving at sunset.Sitting alone in a Luanjia all day is unavoidably boring.

Liu Zao sent someone to summon Xie Yi in front of the officials, but Xie Yi had no choice but to come.

The Luanjia is wide, and although it is not without bumps, it is better than the countless ordinary carriages.Liu Zao and Xie Yi sat facing each other. There was a table between them. On the table was a lacquer plate with vermilion lacquer cloud pattern painted on the plate. There were grapes in the plate. The spring water left at that time.

Liu Zao invited Xie Yi to eat together: "This is sent by the Empress Dowager, you will inevitably be thirsty on the way, why don't you taste it together."

There is a grape rack in Changle Palace. The Empress Dowager loves grapes. After harvesting, she often sends them to Weiyang Palace. Xie Yi knew about this. She took one off and put it in her mouth. After swallowing, she took out the veil and spit out the peel. Wrapped in a towel, Fang and Liu Zao said, "It's really sweet and moist."

Liu Zao had been watching her since she picked the grapes, and felt that her every move was pleasing to the eye, and she was very happy to see that she liked it, so she didn't have to be polite, so she generously pushed the lacquer plate towards her.
