This announcement interrupted the chirping of the group of girls who were looking at the flowers. No one expected that Emperor Yufeng would come over at this moment. For a while, the small garden was filled with the sound of jingling rings.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saluted neatly according to the rules learned before entering the palace.
Although this is a small garden, it is not as colorful as the Imperial Garden, but in this late winter, it is still so lush and green, which is already very pleasing to the eye.
At this time, the garden was decorated with a group of girls who were more delicate than flowers, which made people's eyes brighter even more.
The older people get, the more they like to see bright things, and Emperor Yufeng was not immune to this custom.
Seeing these pretty little girls, they couldn't help but feel good, "Don't be nervous, I'm just passing by, get up!"
The girls started smiling and timidly again, not daring to laugh and play like they just did.
Except for a few who knew how to go through the motions, the other girls, although they did not dare to blatantly do so, secretly looked at the king who rarely showed up.
Those bright eyes concealed feelings of nervousness, worry, or excitement.
Emperor Yufeng smiled and said to the people behind him: "As soon as I come, they will not dare to play around. If I had known, they would not have come."
Upon hearing this, Hong Wen took a step forward and said in a high-pitched voice: "The Holy Father said, ladies, you don't have to be polite, you can still play your own way."
Emperor Yufeng said this, and any further restraint would be a sign of resistance, so several girls from families who had contacts with the royal family began to move around on their own, and others followed suit when they saw this.
It's just that when Emperor Yufeng is here, it's impossible to say that he is as comfortable as he was just now.
Emperor Yufeng glanced around the group of girls and recognized Xie Shuhua at a glance, but did not see anyone else next to her.
Finally he asked: "Who is the fourth girl in Xie Aiqing's family?"
Xue Suqiao looked at Xie Songhua with some worry, and everyone else's eyes also turned towards her.
When it comes to appearance, the girls present today are all girls who have been carefully and carefully cultivated by their families. Naturally, they all have their own merits.
But beauty cannot be hidden, especially when a group of people stand together.
Today, Xie Songhua went out, and the Xie family gave her some good instructions.
For no other reason than that, since she is destined to enter the palace, it is better to get a high position than to be looked down upon. It also lets people know that apart from the reputation that spreads, the girl from the Xie family is also qualified enough to enter the palace.
Therefore, Xie Songhua looks particularly eye-catching today. Among this group of people, not only appearance is the first, but there must be no problem in the top three.
At this moment, everyone was looking at her, and for a moment it felt like the moon was surrounded by stars.
Xie Songhua's heart was beating fast and he couldn't help but pinch the sachet in his sleeve.
Then I felt someone tap me lightly on my shoulder.
She didn't look back, this strength was familiar to her, Yu Ruzhuo was always there.
This immediately calmed her mind, she took a few steps forward with a faint smile, stopped at a distance not too far away, and once again saluted Emperor Yufeng Yingying, "Your Majesty Xie Songhua has met your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed and live forever."
"
His voice was crisp, his articulation was clear, his figure was not messy at all, and his expression was very normal. Emperor Yufeng couldn't help but become more interested. This fourth girl looked as good as the three girls. Didn't he say that he had only been back for less than a year?
He nodded and walked closer to Xie Songhua, with a kind smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with her, "Get up! No need to be so polite."
As they spoke, the distance became closer and closer.
The other girls were still gathering in twos and threes as ordered. Although they did not dare to pry too wantonly at the moment, their attention was focused on that end.
So there are some whispers and hums of polar sounds.
Xie Shuhua had complicated thoughts at the moment. She could not escape the fate of entering the palace, so she naturally hoped to drag Xie Songhua into the water together.
But seeing Xie Songhua being treated differently by Emperor Yufeng, I felt a little bit unconvinced.
In such a contradictory state of mind, she could only vent her anger on the flowers and plants in front of her.
Emperor Yufeng had already walked in front of Xie Songhua while he was speaking. He saw that the girl in front of him had a beautiful face, elegant manners, and some indescribable familiarity in her movements.
This thought flashed through his mind, and he almost immediately smelled a very faint special fragrance.
The scent caused a sudden change in the expression on his face, and then he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if an extremely sharp needle had been shot through his brain at high speed.
At that moment, the pain was so painful that his eyes turned black.
Hong Wen, who was closest to him, immediately noticed something strange and quickly held Emperor Yufeng's arm, "Long live Lord, what's wrong with you?"
The pain came and went away very quickly.
In just two breaths, he had completely recovered, but there were waves of coolness on the back of his neck.
He finally looked at the girl in front of him again, but his eyes became frightened. He pointed at Xie Songhua involuntarily, "You..."
Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then replied in confusion, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
This expression, this look, and that vague smell...
Emperor Yufeng really felt a headache this time, but his inner reason kept him calm, but the slightly trembling hands hidden in his sleeves still revealed a hint of his unstable mentality at this time.
Concubine Gao heard that Emperor Yufeng had come to Chuxiu Palace, and hurried over holding the maid's hand.
Her arrival gave Emperor Yufeng a step forward.
After she finished her salute, she said with a smile: "I was just out for a walk. You did a good job handling the talent show. Thank you for your hard work."
Concubine Gao had a dignified smile on her face and said in a friendly tone: "I just heard that the envoy from Zhuo Yuan went to Qianyuan Palace, and His Majesty came out. I am worried!"
As she spoke, her eyes also fell on Xie Songhua, and then she said with a smile: "This is the fourth girl of the Xie family. I met her once when she fell into the water and had a rash on her face. Now I can see her as a complete person."
"
Her words seemed to remind Emperor Yufeng. The emperor's eyes fell on Xie Songhua's face, and his tone was a little strange, "You are a troubled person."
The tone of voice is actually different from before. Others may not be able to hear it, but Xie Songhua can feel it.
Before that, Emperor Yufeng looked at her like a man looking at a woman, but now, there was a hint of evasion in his eyes. The evasion had nothing to do with her. In fact, the real reason came from his own heart.
Xie Songhua breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart. Just now, all her attention was on Emperor Yufeng. At that moment, she saw the fear in Emperor Yufeng's heart, and even in such a nature, he seemed to be aroused.
Despite the situation, he is still trying to hide it.
She didn't know how Yu Ruzhuo did it, but she was basically certain that Emperor Yufeng would not let her stay.
Sure enough, after Concubine Gao on the side lamented Xie Songhua's troubled life experience, Emperor Yufeng seemed to be a little unbearable and said: "Yes, I didn't think it through. It took a lot of effort for you to return to your biological family."
In front of my parents, I haven't even enjoyed the happiness of a family for a few days. If I let you enter the palace like this, it would be unreasonable."
After saying that, he looked at Hong Wen with a reproachful look, "I didn't expect that there are some dog slaves out there. You guys, wouldn't you give me a warning?"
Concubine Gao couldn't help but be a little surprised. She never thought that her casual words would cause Emperor Yufeng to speak like this.
The others widened their eyes and looked at Emperor Yufeng and Xie Songhua over there in disbelief.
