My little white flower is not right

Ruan Jiyun's mother and concubine have not been favored by Emperor Zhaozong, so the Summer Palace where she lives is also located in a remote place. These days, because of Emperor Zhaozong's death and Jin Di's army besieging the city, the whole palace seems to be in panic.

While leading the way, Jixiang apologized in a low voice: "A few days ago, the late emperor left the palace late at night, not wanting to make any trouble, and the palace people died at that time, so the concubines have not made up for it, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already Urgent processing..."

Before he finished his sentence, he saw the lights flickering in front of him, and the imperial guards were shouting and cursing loudly, as if someone was crying. The noise broke the tranquility, and it was very clear in the middle of the night.

Jixiang looked at Ruan Jiyun's face, raised the lantern and asked, "Who is making noise in the inner palace? Be careful not to startle the princess."

The few people in front of him heard him say "princess", and their voices paused briefly. After a while, a man who looked like a leader of the imperial army came out and saluted slightly from a distance.

"The last general is the captain of the Imperial Guard. During patrolling, he found this little eunuch acting suspiciously and suspiciously. He suspected that his intentions were wrong, so he was arrested..." There was a trace of arrogance in his voice, "No I wanted to disturb His Majesty."

In order to confirm his words, the forbidden army asked his subordinates to bring people over again.

Under the light of the lantern, the young eunuch who was captured was about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a crumpled inner servant's uniform. He was probably frightened, trembling and afraid to say a word, he could only kowtow tremblingly.

Ruan Jiyun didn't expect it to be such a young child, and was a little surprised at the moment: "Which palace are you from? Where is the chief supervisor who disciplines you?"

Her voice was gentle, and the little eunuch looked at her timidly, and then said in a daze: "Your lord, slave... The slave was originally serving in the stable of the palace. A few days ago, he entered the palace with the eunuch. The prisoner hasn't come back for several days, the slave doesn't know anyone here, and he's really hungry, so he quietly came out late at night to find something to eat, unexpectedly..."

He started to cry while talking, took out some cold steamed buns hidden in his arms, and looked eagerly at the crowd: "I really only took a few steamed buns these days..."

Ruan Jiyun saw the young eunuch's disheveled face and sluggish eyes, she felt a little convinced, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and knew that most of these imperial guards were descendants of aristocratic families, and they acted very arrogantly.A little eunuch with no background, if he falls into their hands, he may be convicted if he speaks a few words.

Now that you've met her, try to take care of her.Thinking of this, she ordered Ji Xiang: "This child looks young, so you can go and ask him. If there is really nothing suspicious in the interrogation, let the people from the palace come and pick him up."

After saying this, she turned to the commander of the imperial army and said, "Father is newly mourned, and the guards in the palace are here to help you, all officers and men."

Seeing her amiable attitude and her beautiful and pleasing appearance, the imperial guard unconsciously replied, "Since His Highness is begging for mercy, let's ask more questions."

Ruan Jiyun nodded, seeing that the matter had been resolved, he turned around and continued walking towards the Summer Palace.

The little eunuch stared blankly at the group of them going away. Jixiang first said a few words to the imperial guards, then walked up to him and said, "It's your luck that you met this one, otherwise I'm afraid you will be killed." I prayed for Buddha in the prison. Get up quickly, go and explain the origin clearly, and leave early.”

The little eunuch escaped from death, and kowtowed to Jixiang in a hurry: "Superintendent, who was that highness just now?"

"Hey, it seems that you are really not from this palace. There are only three imperial daughters in our Jing Dynasty, except for Princess Zhaoming and the young Princess Xinwu, this Princess Jiyun is the only one."

While talking, Jixiang urged the little eunuch to follow, the little eunuch repeated the name he said several times in a daze, wiped away his tears and trotted quickly to follow.

......

Because Jin Di's army had been stationed for a long time, as soon as Ruan Jiyun returned to the court, the Empress Dowager Chu summoned officials from all parties to discuss peace matters.

"Now that the princess has returned, it's better to discuss the peace sooner rather than later." Jiazong was still avoiding disaster in the palace, and naturally the son of Chu Tai's descendant exercised the power. She looked at Ruan Jiyun, "What does Jiyun think?"

Ruan Jiyun originally came here for this matter, and upon hearing the words, he didn't have much opinion: "The Queen Mother and all the adults have decided to do so, all in order to cease the war as soon as possible and save the people from the suffering of the war. Naturally, I have a duty to do so."

"Honglu Temple has sent the peace agreement document to the Jindi camp," an official in charge of writing said hesitantly, "but they firmly refused to let the prince come to the city, but asked our peace envoy to go to their side .”

Hearing this sentence, the officials immediately started discussing, and the young officials headed by Cheng Zhibi took the lead in attacking: "Let the envoys go out of the city? Isn't it to let the big scene be announced to the world, and we are the ones who take the initiative to ask for peace?"

An old official with a gray beard obviously disdained his words: "If you have a better suggestion, why don't you personally invite Ying to defeat the Jindi people so that they can take the initiative to ask for peace?"

"Courtesy cannot be abandoned! Don't you all feel ashamed when I go to the kingdom with great vigor and dignity to put the princess's daughter in danger?"

The Empress Dowager Chu rested her arms and looked at the noisy officials indifferently, as if she had expected this scene long ago. After the voice subsided a little, she said: "The main purpose of calling today is to discuss how to negotiate peace as soon as possible. The matter is settled. The army is besieging the city, and His Majesty cannot mourn. Every time I think of this, I feel heartbroken..."

She had a charming appearance, and she said about the first emperor in a mournful voice, which instantly made all the adults present feel embarrassed to continue. Cheng Zhibi and several officials who insisted on discussing the place of peace with Jindi looked at each other, and had to stop for a while.

After a while, it was still Cheng Engong who spoke first: "Your Majesty's words are true. The priority now is to negotiate peace as soon as possible. As for whether we go outside the city or they enter the palace, there is no difference in essence. Let's not get entangled in this issue."

The Empress Dowager Chu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Everyone, the peace negotiation has been finalized. I wonder which one of the Qing family is willing to accompany the princess to the Jindi camp as a deputy envoy?"

This issue is obviously the main point of entanglement among the officials. Cheng En said: "Honglu Temple is naturally the first companion."

The secretary of Honglu Temple frowned and said: "Our Honglu Temple has always been in charge of foreign affairs. I am afraid that the generals should be the first to negotiate a peace, right? The princess is rich and precious, so it is safe to send more generals to protect."

"Negotiating peace is not fighting, why send generals?"

Seeing the noisy noise that was finally suppressed, the Empress Dowager Chu frowned again, her eyes turned to Ruan Jiyun, seeing her standing quietly at the side all the time, she felt a little surprised in her heart.

Seeing the concubine's daughter who can't bear to say harsh words on weekdays, after staying in Xiji for a while, why does she seem to be calmer?Seeing her silent appearance made the Empress Dowager Chu feel a little uneasy.

...Xiji, recalling what her daughter said to herself last night, she gently touched the bright crystal bead flowers on her temples. Anyway, now Jiangshan belongs to her son, and a little princess can turn over What storm?

The court meeting lasted for a long time, and finally the adults finally came to an agreement. The Honglu Temple and the Privy Council each sent an official to accompany the princess to discuss peace.Seeing that the matter was discussed properly, the Empress Dowager Chu gave a few words of encouragement symbolically, and announced the disbandment of the court.

She left Ruan Jiyun alone again and said: "Last night you arrived late, thinking that you would be reunited with your mother and concubine so you didn't force me to stay. You have to go to my place for dinner today."

Ruan Jiyun didn't want to stay with her any longer at all, but the Empress Dowager Chu's attitude was very persistent, so Ruan Jiyun had no choice but to say: "Then I will bother you, but my concubine had a cough last night, I want to go back and see her as soon as possible."

"I know that you are a filial child." The Empress Dowager Chu smiled lightly as she signaled to drive back to the palace, and said, "Is that princess Xiji also in your palace? I also sent someone to invite her over."

The fact that she would be interested in Jiang Peifeng caused Ruan Jiyun to raise her eyes suspiciously. She had always had the impression that the Empress Dowager Chu was a proud person who was somewhat contemptuous of these neighboring countries. She was able to take the initiative to invite Jiang Peifeng, but she didn't know what her intentions were. .

Although she was full of doubts, she had no choice but to suppress these questions first, and was held by the Empress Dowager Chu to board the phoenix chariot, and walked all the way to the Palace of Compassion.

On the other side, Jiang Peifeng also just received the servants of the Palace of Compassion and Ning.She didn't have much affection for the Empress Dowager Dajing, but at this time she still needed to accompany Xiao Baihua in order not to offend the master of the harem too much, so she confessed to Concubine He and followed the visitor. .

The palace was very complicated, and the palace man walked very slowly. After turning several turns, Jiang Peifeng couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going to the Palace of Compassion? Why do you want to take a detour here?"

The palace attendant was taken aback. He didn't expect that the princess from a foreign race could remember the route when she first arrived. She stammered and replied: "I am afraid that the snow in front of me has not been cleaned, so I want to take a shortcut near the imperial dining room." , people come and go here, presumably there is less snow."

Jiang Peifeng raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.

They walked forward for a while, and saw another group of people coming this way from a distance, the leader was a woman wearing a white fox fur cloak, who is it not Princess Zhaoming?

Jiang Peifeng noticed that the palace man who led the way seemed to be relieved, while the person opposite had already raised his voice at this time: "Princess Peifeng, what a coincidence."

Princess Zhaoming has obviously been well-dressed today, and her face, which resembles the Empress Dowager Chu's, reveals some brilliance in her eyes: "Since we are all on the same road, why don't we go together?"

As she spoke, she walked towards Jiang Peifeng, and the tangy fragrance hit her, and Jiang Peifeng quietly dodged back.

"The princess knows where I'm going?" she asked.

Princess Zhaoming was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was too excited just now, and accidentally revealed her whereabouts, so she had to swallow what she was going to say: "Where is the princess going?"

Jiang Peifeng showed her a mysterious smile: "I'm going to the Imperial Garden."

Princess Zhaoming: "..." You were obviously invited by my mother to the Palace of Compassion.But she couldn't overthrow her own words at this time, so she had to change her mind and said, "What a coincidence? I just plan to go to the Royal Garden."

Seeing the eagerness on her face, Jiang Peifeng sighed in his heart: "Oh? Since the princess is going to the Royal Garden, then I will leave without disturbing your pleasure."

"You..." Princess Zhaoming has never seen such a person who keeps avoiding her again and again, and she can't help but get angry, "Didn't you just say to go to the Imperial Garden?"

Jiang Peifeng said calmly to her: "At first I wanted to go, but when I saw the princess, I suddenly remembered that the empress dowager invited me to have dinner together, I'd better go to see the empress dowager first."

After she finished speaking, she urged the palace servants beside her: "Let's go quickly, don't make your mother wait for a long time."

When her figure was gone, Princess Zhaoming was so angry that she crumpled the handkerchief in her hand, and the maid next to her asked cautiously, "Your Highness, shall we still go to the Imperial Garden?"

Princess Zhaoming was even more annoyed: "When did I say I went to the Imperial Garden? You are so courageous, you dare to be negligent when my mother invites me to dinner, go there and kneel to receive the punishment!"

After losing her temper, she turned around and left aggressively, leaving only the poor maid kneeling in the snow, enduring the bone-chilling chill, her eyes flushed.

"Don't watch the excitement, let's go." Jixiang happened to pass by with the little eunuch, and after witnessing the whole process of Princess Zhaoming's temper, he could only shake his head and sigh, "Fortunately, you are lucky, it wasn't this person you met yesterday. Princess."

The little eunuch secretly glanced at the trembling palace maid, seemed to be thinking about something, and said for a long time, "Yes, I am really lucky to meet a kind princess."
