princess is fine

Elder Sun and Director Nan still had a lot of things to explain, so Xi Chao withdrew first and was brought to the side hall by a young eunuch.

She sat there quietly for a while, then saw a maid came over and saluted Yingying, and said softly: "Miss Chao'er, the servant girl is Yan'er from Kunning Palace. I have come to invite you to tell you something by order of the master."

When Xi Chao heard that the maid called herself Yan'er, he was slightly stunned for a moment. After carefully looking at the maid, he realized that the former friend had passed away. It's inconvenient to show it, but he just smiled and said: "I don't know what the empress is doing? Xi Chao was ordered to enter the palace and dare not move around without authorization. If it is really the empress' fate, I hope the girl can explain the reason."

The girl Yan'er took out a jade tablet. Xi Chao had stayed in the palace for a year, so he recognized the token used by the empress in the palace, so she followed him.

Xi Chao was walking on the road with the maid, and saw that she had greeted a young eunuch and then walked towards Kunning Palace, so he stopped thinking about it.The line of sight spread out, skipping the old scene in the palace.

The corridors in the palace are always so deep and long, even in the hot summer, there is a bit of coolness. The green willows in the palace walls are stretched gracefully, and the unintentional wind blows in the air.

Although she has been traveling as a doctor for several years and has seen all kinds of scenery, the imperial palace has a meaning that cannot be replaced by other places to her.

Perhaps without such an experience, she would not have left Jian'an, but stayed at home like a sister, living the life that an official lady should live.

However, fate arranged such a journey for her after all, and finally made her meet that person at the very beginning, and she couldn't let go of anything else in her heart.

"Miss Xi Chao, Miss Xi Chao?" Yan'er called twice, and then Xi Chao who was distracted came back to his senses, and smiled apologetically at her: "Why?"

"Miss Xi Chao, please wait here for a while, the servant girl will pass the message right away." After saying that, Yan'er saluted and retreated, leaving Xi Chao alone in the hall.

She looked around, but the layout of the main hall of Kunning Palace hadn't changed much. The sunlight poured into the hall through the doors and windows, which reminded her of the reckless break into the hall many years ago...

"Yan'er, go and fetch that green jade duck tea." Empress Chen walked to the front of the hall, as if remembering something, she gave an order before entering the hall.

Hearing the movement in the hall, Xi Chao had already turned around and bowed to Empress Chen who stepped into the hall.

Empress Chen stepped forward, supported Xi Chao and said with a smile, "Hurry up and excuse me, the weather is so hot, it's troublesome to bother you to go this way."

Xi Chao hurriedly replied: "It's Xi Chao's honor to have a life, Your Majesty."

Empress Chen smiled slightly, she was already sitting on the rightful seat, and asked Xi Chao to sit at her lower head, the words were very close, which made Xi Chao flattered.

"Since you left the palace, this is the first time you have come back to Kunning Palace." Empress Chen said with a smile, "I remember that you were still young when you accompanied Jin'er in the palace, but now you have grown into a graceful figure."

Xi Chao smiled lightly, not knowing what Empress Chen's intention was, but she didn't dare to answer casually.

The maid over there has already served tea.

Xi Chao focused his attention on this tea, and just now he heard the name of the tea was mentioned by the queen outside the palace, Biyuanyuyang tea, which is a very elegant name.

The tea was served in a jade-white cup with a delicate jade-colored lid, presumably to prevent the aroma from being lost.Holding the tea tray in his hand, Xi Chao lifted the lid of the cup, and smelled the fragrance, and the aroma was penetrating. Then he saw the tea fluttering up and down in the water, ups and downs, and the tea leaves slowly unfolding, returning to leaf shape, and oozing out the color of the tea juice.Xi Chao took a sip, his eyes lit up slightly.

"The aroma is pure and timeless, the soup color is bright yellow-green, and the taste is mellow and delicious." Xi Chao said slowly, "Is this honeysuckle tea?"

Empress Chen nodded slightly: "Yes, this is indeed honeysuckle."

"Honeysuckle tea is sweet in taste and cold in nature. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, clearing the throat, relieving heat and irritability, so it is mostly used for medicinal purposes. I didn't expect that making scented tea is so good." Xi Chao couldn't help admiring, and sipped lightly A sip of scented tea in a cup.

Seeing her opening her mouth, Empress Chen said that honeysuckle is a habitual medicine, and she couldn't help believing in Xi Chao's medical skills. She lightly put down the cup in her hand and looked at Xi Chao: "Then, do you know why this tea is called Biyuanyu?" Duck tea?"

Xi Chao paused while drinking tea, and couldn't understand the meaning of Empress Chen's move more and more. After thinking for a while, he pondered and said: "Honeysuckle, blooms in March, blooms five times, slightly fragrant, with red stalks, and when the flowers bloom at the beginning It is white in color, and turns yellow after one or two days, so it is called honeysuckle. And because there are two flowers on one stalk, the two stamens stick out, and they are in pairs, inseparable, like male and female accompanying each other, and like mandarin ducks dancing in pairs, so there are mandarin ducks. The name of the vine."

"It also blends with the green tea color of the spring tea after the rain, so it is called the green mandarin duck." After Xi Chao said this, he looked at Empress Chen: "I wonder if what Xi Chao said is right?"

Empress Chen smiled slightly: "Sure enough, she is a smart woman, and what you said is exactly right."

Xi Chao listened quietly, thinking that the empress would eventually tell her why she was asked to come to Kunning Palace.

"Honeysuckle is just an ordinary plant, and it has such enviable intentions, let alone human beings." Empress Chen said slowly: "People are only born for a few decades, so I hope this life will be fulfilled, and the second is to continue the incense. , so that future generations will inherit the aspirations."

"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Xi Chao was slightly stunned: "Is there someone around you who can't get what he wants?"

"The reason why you entered the palace when you were young, although few people in the palace know it, they can't hide it from me." Empress Chen said lightly: "Jin'er's life was hard, but thanks to you and Mr. Sun, I was lucky enough to stay. But this sequelae, after all, remained. "

"Sequence..." Xi Chao murmured, and she raised her eyes to look at the empress who was sitting on the high seat.

"It is also because of this that the marriage between her and Ling'er has been postponed until now. One is my daughter whom I regard as my own, and the other is my natal nephew. I am also very sorry to see them suffer so much. Therefore, today, I called you here I want to ask, is there any way..." Empress Chen said what was in her mind one by one, but seeing Xi Chao's complexion was a bit gloomy, and her heart sank: "Could it be that there is really no other way?"

"I, I don't know." Xi Chao shook her head, she swallowed lightly, so that her dry throat could be relieved before she could say a complete sentence: "I have to see her, see her, so I can know what happened thing……"

Although Empress Chen was a little puzzled by Xi Chao's complexion at the moment, she still had some hope in her heart when she heard what she said, so she stood up and said, "I'm going to call Jin'er..."

"No, it's good for Xi Chao to go by himself." Xi Chao didn't care about other things, so he stopped the queen's words like that: "I may not have been to Jinmo Palace for a long time, but I miss it. Next, in Jinmo Palace , and it is also convenient to talk to His Highness."

After hearing this, Empress Chen felt that it made sense, so she nodded and said, "Then tell Yan'er to go with you."

Xi Chao nodded, barely straightened his body to salute, and left the main hall.

It's just that when Xi Chao and Na Yan'er left the main hall of Kunning Palace, they saw a maid with a cold face standing outside the hall, it was Zhihua.

"Miss Yan'er, go back, I'll take Miss Chao'er back." Zhihua Yingying saluted, then turned away from Yan'er, nodded slightly to Xi Chao, and the two walked towards Jinmo Palace.

"Sister Zhihua..." Xi Chao slowly called out this almost unfamiliar name, causing Zhihua, who was walking in front, to be taken aback for a moment.

She turned around slightly and looked at Xi Chao, with a rare smile on her face: "Miss Chao'er, long time no see. Your Highness is already waiting in the palace. If you have any questions, you can ask them carefully in a while." So, Miss Chao'er, it's better not to make a sad face."

After hearing this, Xi Chao bit his lower lip slightly: "Is my complexion very bad now? Will she..."

Zhihua suddenly wondered why Zhiqin told her a few days ago that even though some people have grown up and their appearance has changed, you can tell from her words and deeds that this person has never changed.Just like Xi Chao at this time, maybe she has already become a gentleman with outstanding medical skills, but when facing His Highness, this... stupidity still hasn't changed in the slightest.

Xiao Rongjin randomly flipped through a few pages of the book in her hand, and threw it on the desk again.

She stood up and glanced out the window. The mulberry tree in the backyard had become more and more lush, and some branches and leaves were about to come to the study.

She shook her head, then turned back to the table, reached out to pick up the cup of tea and took a sip, then frowned and said, "This tea is cold."

Zhiqin sighed softly at the side: "Your Highness, this is the herbal tea brewed by Eunuch Xi Yuan to relieve the heat."

Xiao Rongjin froze for a moment, then put down the cup again.

She knew her heart was in a mess.Since returning from Xuanzhou, she had thought about how she would meet Xi Chao, maybe on Xuan'er's wedding day, or by the side of the stone bridge they had agreed upon... Although she knew her daily whereabouts , but thinking of seeing Xi Chao, Xiao Rongjin still felt a little dazed.

She walked slowly for a few steps to calm down her thoughts, then she turned her head and said to Zhiqin: "Zhihua has returned a message, so tell her to go to the front hall."

Zhiqin responded, then turned and left.

Xiao Rongjin looked at the pen, ink and scroll on the table, which was in a mess, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Rongjin arrived in the front hall only a moment later, when she heard Zhiqin come to give a lecture.After a while, Zhihua had already led Xi Chao into the front hall.

This scene is inexplicably familiar, but back then she dismissed the person she wanted to see, but now she is so nervous.

Compared with when Xi Chao was in Xuanzhou, there was no change, but because he entered the palace, he dressed a little more carefully, his hair was still neatly tied up, and a white jade hairpin was inserted horizontally.

When Xiao Rongjin saw the white jade hairpin, his heart skipped a beat.
