Let me eat a soft meal

From Xie Yushu's mouth, Ye Xuan knew that there seemed to be a major event in the court. As soon as the court was over, the emperor recruited important ministers into the Qinzheng Hall to speak, and the atmosphere seemed tense.

Xie Yushu originally followed the order of his sister-in-law Princess Boyang to deliver breakfast to his eldest brother who had not returned home after a few days of work, so he waited and waited in Qianyuan Palace. Zhao An asked him to come to Wenyuan Palace to inform Ye Xuan, and took him to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects.

Ye Xuan now understood why Xie Yushu, a well-behaved person, suddenly came to Luohua Palace.

I'm afraid that if something is true, it happens to be false.

Emperors have always been suspicious. Now that the second prince will be crowned soon, and the fourth and fifth princes will also enter the court to listen to the government in a few years, the factions are already fighting each other. Ye Xuan and Xie Yushu have indeed had a lot of contact, which inevitably arouses suspicion.

Although there was no beating and questioning last night, it was so obvious that the mother was innocent and naive, and she was not stupid. She must have noticed that since the emperor got up from the sedan chair, the Chenjiao Hall was unusually quiet. Are you afraid that you are crying in the mirror again because of the emperor's temptation and suspicion?

I don't know if I have regrets in my heart?Or just simply don't want to see the queen mother and concubines?

Ye Xuan had complex emotions in his heart, with a soft smile on his face, clean and bright eyes, and followed Xie Yushu to Shoukang Palace.

The Empress Dowager likes to be clean, and she lives in the Shoukang Palace all year round to enjoy flowers. Today may be her birthday, and the palace is very lively, voices can be heard from afar.

Ye Xuan has kept a low profile these years, barely showing his face in the palace due to his illness, the new eunuch at the gate didn't know him, hesitating and not knowing how to sing the ceremony.

Xie Yushu looked at the child's quiet side face distressedly, as if he had become used to it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is His Highness of the West Palace."

There is only one Luohua Palace in the West Palace, and the Luohua Palace is inhabited by the concubine Liang who is the most popular for a while. Last night, His Majesty just turned over the signboard of Concubine Liang, and stayed overnight in the Chenjiao Palace.

"Your Highness, forgive me, my slave's eyesight." The little eunuch immediately knelt down to make amends, and sang with a drawn out voice, "Your Highness the Seventh is here—"

This voice seemed to disturb something, and the inner hall fell silent.

Xie Yushu's heart ached even more immediately, overturning the idea of ​​sending it and leaving in his heart, he grabbed Ye Xuan's hand and squeezed it in relief, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I will go in with you."

It's easy to be soft-hearted when you are young.

Ye Xuan acted moved, his eyebrows trembled.

Xie Yushu patted the back of his hand again, and put his hand behind his waist politely.

Xia Chun, the old eunuch in front of the empress dowager, came out from the inside, glanced at him, and his eyes fell on Xie Yushu first. He was a little surprised, his face was full of wrinkles, and he reminded the inside with a high-pitched voice, "The third son Xie is also here." ! This slave has seen His Highness the Seventh Prince and the Third Young Master. It is very hot outside, so come in with the old slave.”

A series of ice buckets were placed in the palace to cool off the heat, and it was still a bit cold when he came in, Ye Xuan worked his internal energy silently for a week before the temperature of his extremities returned to normal.

The Empress Dowager and concubines were all talking in the inner hall. The Empress in vermilion palace clothes and the concubine De in rose red were sitting next to the Empress Dowager. Concubine Yue, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, and other concubines who have children are more favored.

The room is full of beauties with their own characteristics and fragrance, but there is no room for them anyway.

Ye Xuan went in to greet him.

The queen mother didn't like him very much, she nodded flatly, and was about to get him up when she heard a charming smile.

Concubine Shu seemed concerned and asked, "Isn't Sister Liang Concubine here?"

The Empress Dowager and Concubine De frowned at the same time, and the Empress' eyes became resentful.

Ye Xuan didn't hesitate, and answered calmly, "Mother is not feeling well and is lying ill. Xuan'er apologizes to the emperor's grandmother on behalf of her mother."

"No problem." The Empress Dowager waved her hand in a disinterested manner, and asked him to step back, leaving Xie Yushu to speak.

Just as Concubine Liang didn't want to see them, the Queen Mother didn't want to see Concubine Liang either.

The old eunuch Xia Chun personally sent Ye Xuan out, and said with a smile, "The back kitchen has prepared lunch, and His Highness Seven can go to the Anning Garden to enjoy the flowers, and all His Highnesses are there."

"Thank you, Eunuch Xia, for showing the way." Ye Xuan thanked him, and after watching him go in, his expression became cold, and he could faintly hear the conversation inside.

The queen mother asked about Xie Yushu's knowledge, and the queen deliberately mentioned the sixth princess Ye Ling, and Xie Yushu responded properly, coaxing everyone to smile.

Concubine Shu praised the beautiful blood jade beads on Xie Yushu's forehead, and wanted to ask for it, but Xie Yushu politely refused, "This is a gift from a friend, so it is inconvenient to give it away."

He said earnestly, "I have a headdress made of pearls and agates. It looks like the Western Regions, and my mother has a fair complexion. I think it's a perfect match."

Concubine Shu was upset at first, but she got better after being praised like this, and she responded repeatedly.

The atmosphere was harmonious again.

Ye Xuan's gloomy mood was inexplicably soothed, and there was a bit of satisfaction in his brows and eyes.

"Let's go to Anning Garden."

Chun Xia has served the Empress Dowager for more than 30 years, and she has won her trust. What he said probably meant what the Empress Dowager meant. Although Ye Xuan could find an excuse to refuse, it would be too much of a joke.

Concubine Liang is not around, so he always wants to keep it.

Ye Xuan didn't want to run into other people and affect his mood, so he walked to the bridge at the entrance of Anning Garden, ordered some fish food and sat on the rockery, threw some of them into the water, and fed them to the fat koi inside.

Ye Xuan is very bad, he only throws a little fish food at a time, and waits for the group of koi to grab the food, and when they finish eating, they disperse, and throws some more, luring this group of overweight fishes to clumsily run back.Swimming back and forth just like this, the water ripples are endless, but it is still funny, not as boring as imagined.

Tai'an nestled in the tree, watching his master propping his chin with great interest to lose weight for this group of overweight fish, he was quite speechless.

They sit in a relatively hidden position, blocked by a rockery at the back, shaded by trees in front, a bridge on the left, and lush flowers on the right. As long as they don't pass through the middle, you can't see them if you don't pay attention.

However, the enemy always meets a narrow road.

If it was said that Ye Xuan was out of tune with the princes because of his embarrassing status, then Ye Ling did it purely by himself.

She is spoiled and domineering, she likes to swing the whip at every turn, but she bullies the weak and fears the hard, the eldest prince and the third princess dare not look for her, the second prince falls down when touched, the fourth prince and fifth prince have grown up and practiced martial arts, the eighth prince is cowardly and won't Appearing in front of him, she couldn't touch the remaining Ninth Prince who was doted on, and the Tenth Princess was too young for her to be bullied.

After thinking about it, only Ye Xuan, who is about her age and has no background, can make a sandbag to vent her anger. Recently, this sandbag has been very lucky, and she has been walking with the third cousin. She ate it on him last time It was a boring loss, and was punished by the queen mother for confinement.

Ye Ling was extremely angry in his heart, and even the flowers and plants around him suffered disasters but could not appease his anger.

The eunuchs and maids who served her were trembling.

Suddenly someone pointed at the opposite side, "Ah, that looks like the Seventh Prince?"

Ye Xuan suddenly had the feeling of being entangled by malice, and he stopped the hand that threw the bait, and the two eunuchs on the opposite side walked towards the bank of the pool, holding stones in their hands, as if throwing them towards this side.

Tai'an had already landed beside him, the stone smashed into the water, a huge splash exploded amidst the loud noise, and the school of fish scattered in fright.

"Smash it, keep smashing it for this princess!" Ye Ling walked slowly through the corridor, and sat in the small pavilion by the bank, looking very leisurely, and his laughter was full of malice.

In an instant, Ye Xuan's mood became very bad.

He listened to the sound of "boom" hitting the water surface expressionlessly, watched the rising and falling water curtain, picked up a small stone at his feet, and looked at Ye Ling in the opposite pavilion from afar. With curved eyes, he slowly smiled.

"Boom!"

The stone precisely pierced through the water curtain and hit Ye Ling's ankle. She suddenly softened and screamed.

The sound of "plop" falling into the water, the rain has not stopped.

With gloomy eyes and a smile on his face, Ye Xuan walked down the rockery, and jumped into the pool voluntarily in the still mist.

He dived and fished his way through the twisting water, grabbing an ankle.

"The Seventh Prince has fallen into the water—" Tai'an yelled at the top of his voice, his voice was so loud that he choked back the "Sixth Princess fell into the water" that the maidservant opposite was about to shout.

The author has something to say: His Highness the Seventh Prince of the Black Lotus, ruled all kinds of unruly and willful dissatisfaction.
