When entering the palace, the snow was falling a little bit, and the maidens on the palace road saw a carriage slowly approaching, and they all stood aside respectfully with bowed heads.
It was a common practice in the Dayu Dynasty that no carriage or horse could enter the palace, but there was one exception, that was the delicate and frail young prince favored by the Holy One.
The doors and windows of Dexi Hall are closed all year round, and the light inside is dim, giving a lifeless appearance.
Amidst the smog, one could vaguely see a beautiful woman kneeling on the futon.
The woman looked like she was in her early forties, and she was well maintained. She was wearing a moon-white brocade gown that was stretched over the floor, with curved willow eyebrows, kind eyebrows and eyes, and a demure and indifferent appearance.
A Gong'e stepped forward and hesitated to speak: "The Empress Dowager..."
Empress Dowager Ye looked calm, bowed her eyebrows to the white porcelain Bodhisattva statue on the stage, and then said lightly: "What's the matter?"
"My lord is here to visit you."
Empress Dowager Ye opened her eyes suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "What is he doing here? Didn't the Ai family tell him not to enter the palace as much as possible last time?"
"It's the emperor...that you are seriously ill."
"Ridiculous!" Empress Dowager Ye snapped, "Is he threatening me!"
Gong'e seemed to be taken aback by Empress Dowager Ye's harsh words, she lowered her head and dared not answer.
Suddenly, the door of the palace was slowly pushed open from the outside, and with the howling cold wind, a young man in a snow-white cloak walked in.
The young man's appearance was three points similar to the Empress Dowager Ye, and he was the delicate and frail young prince Nie Yu in the rumors.
Gong'e glanced at it and quickly lowered her head.
Lin Ce gathered his cloak and walked in slowly with the stove in his hand.
"Yu'er, you're here." Mrs. Ye's complexion has returned to normal, with a smile on her face, but if you look carefully, you can see a bit of reluctance.
"I heard that the queen mother is ill, so my son-in-law came here to visit."
Empress Dowager Ye looked at him and smiled faintly: "This is nonsense from that bastard. Don't listen to other people's nonsense. Empress Dowager is in good health."
Lin Ce savored these words carefully in his heart, and felt that there was some meaning, but he did not show any emotion on his face, and said with a smile: "The queen mother must get better soon."
A trace of love flashed in Queen Mother Ye's eyes, she touched Lin Ce's head, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if the mother is well, the mother only hopes that you can be well."
Lin Ce's natural soft voice should be.
The mother and son talked a little more about themselves, and finally Lin Ce left. The Empress Dowager Ye looked at Lin Ce's leaving back with complicated eyes.
"My lord is really filial." Gong'e on the side stepped forward to help Empress Dowager Ye, and gently kneaded her knee.
Empress Dowager Ye slowly closed her eyes: "Yu'er is a good boy, and the other...a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it." At the end, she couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
Gong'e's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly lowered her head. She has been in the palace for a long time, and she knows the truth that the more she knows, the shorter her life will be.
Empress Dowager Ye looked at her appearance, and after a while, let out a faint sigh: "It's nice to be young, at the same age as Hua, I remember that Ai's family was about the same size as you when she entered the palace."
At that time, she entered the palace with the honor and favor of her family on her back. In order to consolidate her status and conceived the eldest son, she took a lot of folk prescriptions and tonics before she conceived a child. Unexpectedly, it was a stillborn child.
Fortunately, when she was pregnant, she heard from the imperial doctor that the fetal image was unstable, and she had already made two preparations to replace the stillborn baby with the prepared baby. The baby's mother was unknown, so she was the best candidate.
That baby naturally became his eldest son, who is now Emperor Zhengde Nie Su.
Gong'e stepped forward and slowly helped Empress Dowager Ye walk towards the inner hall, heavy curtains were flying, Empress Dowager Ye slowly closed her eyes, she remembered the eyes of that child looking at Yu'er when she was young.
Yu'er was not in good health, and she was afraid that he would stumble, so she strictly ordered the palace servants not to allow the little prince to play around with other princes. That day, she didn't see Yu'er staying in the palace as usual, so she hurriedly followed the palace staff's guidance to the garden rush to.
As soon as she got there, she froze in place, seeing her most beloved Yu'er sitting on the swing, swaying tall, with a pair of dark peach eyes sparkling, and a look on her face that she had never seen before.
Behind him stood a handsome young man, with a faint smile on his lips, slowly pushing the swing for him, watching the young man quietly.
That look made her scalp tingle for some reason, and she didn't know where the anger came from, so she stepped forward and pushed him away, protecting Yu'er behind her, scolding the palace servants around him, and let the prince who should be studying at ease go out without authorization , I really lost my temper a lot.
The boy who was pushed away by him knelt down with a plop when he heard her get angry, begging her for forgiveness.
But she didn't miss what was in his eyes. At that time, she knew that if she couldn't control this little wolf cub, one day she would eat her back.
— Now it seems that everything is right.
After Lin Ce came out of the hall, he saw Chong Qing standing outside waiting for him motionless, his shoulders were covered with snowflakes, his face was tense, and he relaxed slightly when he came out with his usual expression.
"My lord."
Lin Ce nodded and said, "Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a thin voice, "His Royal Highness Huai Wang, the emperor has something to discuss with you, please go to the imperial study."
Lin Ce tilted his head slightly: "What's the matter?"
"This slave doesn't know, but it should be for the Empress Dowager's business."
"This king knows, you lead the way."
Seeing this, Chongqing wanted to follow, but was stopped by the palace guards.
"Your Majesty has an order that only His Royal Highness Huai Wang is allowed to go." The palace servant lowered his voice and said, "My lord, please don't embarrass His Highness Huai Wang."
Chong Qing hesitated for a while, but finally stood still.
***************
And at this time in the imperial study room.
Nie Su was dancing on the snow-white rice paper with a pen, his expression focused, as if he was not writing, but doing something important.
"Dong Dong" a knock on the door broke the silence, and someone outside reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Huai has arrived."
Nie Su just finished the last stroke, so he pressed the rice paper with a paperweight, and threw the ink pen into the brush washer. The clear water rippled and gradually became black.
"let him in"
Nie Su took the snow-white silk handkerchief handed over by the palace attendant, wiped his hands, and said in a deep voice.
"I don't know what the emperor's brother will come here for."
Lin Ce walked in slowly, there were still unmelted snowflakes on the black eyelashes, and the trembling of the eyelashes was like fluttering snow butterflies.
Nie Su avoided answering, but said, "Look at my writing."
Lin Ce walked up to the plan and saw the handwriting on the rice paper on the table, with gold hooks and iron strokes, with a strong backbone, and he knew it was his own hand at a glance.
"Brother Huang's handwriting is still the same as before.
Suddenly Lin Ce felt his hand being gently held by someone. It turned out that at some point, Nie Zhengyu turned behind him and leaned down to put his arms around him.
Feeling the warm breath on his neck, Lin Ce froze, trying to escape from his confinement, but found that he was tightly bound and unable to move.
"Let go!" Lin Ce said angrily.
Nie Zhengyu looked at the slender neck of the man in his arms, his eyes darkened, "Don't move, Ayu, I will take you to practice calligraphy."
As soon as he said that, he began to move. Lin Ce's hand was held tightly by him, and he walked on the rice paper involuntarily, leaving dark or light ink marks.
"Okay." Nie Su whispered in his ear, and then slightly let go of his hand.
Lin Ce immediately escaped from his embrace like a frightened rabbit, his dark peach blossom eyes seemed to be on fire.
"what are you doing!"
Nie Su's eyes darkened suddenly, and he said slowly, "Are you afraid of me?"
Lin Ce's face was a little pale, but he still insisted: "If there is nothing important, my younger brother will go back first."
An ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of Nie Su's mouth, and he slowed down his tone, "Chendi? Do you really not know or pretend you don't know?"
Lin Ce was taken aback.
Nie Su slowly approached his body, his eyes were icy cold, "Whether you know it or not, your empress mother knows it best. Your imperial brother died when he was born, and it is thanks to him that I can stand here .”
Lin Ce was shrouded by a tall figure, and his expression was somewhat panicked, as if he was about to fall into the prey of a tiger.
Until there was no way to retreat, Lin Ce said in a trembling voice, "Don't do this."
Nie Su stroked his snow-white face with his fingers, and sighed softly: "I still remember that when you were a child, you were half shorter than me, and you pestered me all day long and called you Huangxiong, but when you grew up, you became a lot stranger."
Nie Su's fingers slowly moved to his white and fragile neck, feeling the beating of his pulse.
"Did you know something?"
Lin Ce turned his face to the left, closed his eyes tightly, and remained silent.
Nie Su stretched out his hand to pinch his fair chin, forcing him to look directly into his eyes, and said coldly, "A Yu, look at me."
Lin Ce struggled, which obviously angered Nie Su.
He slammed Lin Ce down on the table, and the pen and inkstone fell to the ground with a crash, and the ground was instantly in a mess.
"let me go!"
Lin Ce looked into Nie Su's dark, bottomless eyes, feeling a burst of despair.
Just as the two were confronting each other, a shrill voice suddenly came from outside.
"Your Majesty, the National Teacher is here."
