Fu Yunqi wanted to turn around and go to the study, but when he heard this, he frowned: "Didn't anyone in the palace come to tell you? Why doesn't the princess want to eat?"
"The princess said she has no appetite." Baitao was a little worried. Now she was relieved to see him back, and there was inevitably some conflict between her words. "When the people from the palace came, the dishes were already on the table, so they didn't know to tell them in advance."
, causing the princess to wait for so long..."
"Baitao!" Tingfeng who was following behind reminded him in a low voice, "What are you talking about? Today's matter was arranged by the Queen Mother, so what does it have to do with the prince?"
Tingfeng winked at Baitao crazily, but Baitao was very unconvinced and gave him a hard look. She was right. Even if the prince was not free, why couldn't he secretly send someone back to the house?
"How long has she been asleep?" Fu Yunchi asked calmly, as if he didn't hear her complaint.
"I don't know, slave, that the princess has not lit the lamp and has not allowed the slaves to enter the house," Baitao shook her head, bit her lower lip and asked, "Do you want to wake the princess?"
Fu Yunqi raised his hand to stop him, then gently opened the small door and walked in through the crack in the door.
The moonlight filled the whole room, and the moonlight in the room was colorful. Chu Miaoer was lying there quietly, with the hibiscus quilt loosely wrapped around her body. Her long black hair was scattered randomly on the pillow, her red lips were lightly closed, and she looked
It tastes very sweet.
"Back." Fu Yunqi murmured in an almost inaudible voice. He stretched out his hand and gently tapped Chu Miao'er's lips, as if he wanted to feel the heat generated by her every breath.
After sitting in front of the bed for a while, watching her sleeping soundly, Fu Yunchi suddenly felt a little trance-like.
The autumn rain came as soon as it came, but it was still drizzling when Chu Miaoer woke up. There was a faint whistling wind in her ears. She reached out and touched the place beside her. It was cold and cold. She turned her head and stared out the window in a daze.
"Princess, are you awake?" Baitao walked in with a smile, helped her to the mirror and dressed up, and said, "The prince came back last night and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so he didn't let the slaves wake you up. He went to the study to sleep by himself.
"
It turned out that Fu Yunqi had returned to the palace. Chu Miaoer thought that the Queen Mother would leave him in the palace last night.
Chu Miao'er hummed softly and yawned slightly. It looked like she didn't sleep well last night. She looked up and saw that the circles under Bai Tao's eyes were black and blue, and she guessed that she must not have slept last night.
"Now that you are married to Tingfeng, you don't have to watch me every night like before. You can just go back by yourself in the middle of the night," Chu Miao'er looked at her in the mirror and said, "I almost never wake up in the middle of the night.
"
"My slave is worried. You have to guard the princess to feel at ease." Baitao shook her head firmly, her tone firm.
In fact, it is not difficult to find a maid in the palace to keep vigil at night, but Baitao is very persistent about this matter. Chu Miaoer mentioned it several times when she was in Dongling, but Baitao insisted on staying by her side and never let go.
Tingfeng had no objection to this, so she gave it up after thinking about it. Maybe Baitao would figure it out on her own one day. And from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to find another girl who was close to her again.
She and Baitao have been very familiar with each other for more than ten years. If someone suddenly changes, not only Baitao, but also she herself may not be able to adapt, that's all.
As soon as she finished washing up, Chu Miaoer saw Fu Yunqi with a smile in his eyes from the bronze mirror, walking slowly towards her. Baitao was concentrating on taking care of her hair on the side of her ears. Apparently, she was distracted by the man who appeared quietly beside her.
People were scared.
Her hands trembled slightly, and she immediately bowed obediently and said, "Your Majesty..." She was still a little shocked by the voice.
"You go down first," Fu Yunchi said calmly, "I have something to discuss with the princess."
Baitao lowered his head and suppressed a smile, turned around and left, and closed the door to prevent others from disturbing him.
"This girl is getting more and more considerate." Fu Yunqi smiled and shook his head, standing there but not continuing to say another sentence.
Chu Miaoer sat in front of the bronze mirror, fiddling with the earrings in the box, and gently wiping the hairpin in the red silk. She seemed disapproving and a little deliberate. Fu Yunchi stood behind her with his hands folded, watching her pretending to be calm.
He looked suddenly grinning.
Hearing the slight laughter, Chu Miaoer suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, stood up with some embarrassment, threw a white jade hairpin in his hand on the table, turned and left.
This person is really strange. He didn't even bother to explain or apologize after staying out all night, but he still dared to laugh at her? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!
"My Miaomiao looks so good when she's angry..." Fu Yunqi's slender arms scooped her into his arms and locked her tightly, "I'm not angry anymore. I drank a lot of wine with my mother and brother last night, and now I have a headache."
It’s still hurting…”
"You deserve it!" Chu Miaoer tried to push him away, but found that he couldn't move at all in his arms, so he could only say in a muffled voice. Although his tone was pretending to be fierce, his body cooperated and did not move any more.
Fu Yunqi also noticed her cleverness, and gently placed his chin on the top of her head, sighing with contentment: "Last night, without Miaomiao by my side, I didn't sleep well. I turned over and over in the study.
I can’t sleep, how about... let’s lie down again?”
Chu Miao'er's first reaction was that he was joking. It was already Chenshi. After being married for so long, Fu Yunqi rarely slept for more than Maoshi, so he actually said that he wanted to go back to sleep?
"You didn't go to the morning court today?" She saw that Fu Yunqi's eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't seem to be joking. She couldn't help but think of the scene where they were drinking and joking in the palace yesterday.
"No, I don't have to go to court every day. It was originally for Fu Lilian, but now when I come back to see him interacting with the ministers of the court, he has already behaved like a prince, so I can feel more relaxed."
His hot and moist breath sprayed slowly and long on the top of Chu Miao'er's head, hitting her Tianling Cap time and time again.
"I'm going to the Second Prince's Mansion to visit Sister Huyin..." Chu Miao'er immediately changed her words, "Mrs. Huyin... you didn't even tell me that she was pregnant. Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?
of?"
Fu Yunqi laughed again, and his eyes gradually regained their clarity.
He stretched out his hand to pull Chu Miao'er out of his arms and asked seriously: "Cousin Ling Hui is at the second brother's house right now. Are you sure you want to go there now?"
After he reminded her, Chu Miaoer suddenly realized that she had heard Huyin say yesterday that Princess Ye Zhiqiu and Princess Linghui had known each other since they were young, so it was natural that they would visit her at home after finally coming back.
"Second sister-in-law and she have a very close relationship, right?" She asked the question in her mind, "Then why haven't I heard you mention that there is such a princess?"
Fu Yunqi sighed softly, slowly let go of her and said quietly: "There are too many secrets and old things in the palace. If I told you one by one, I would probably be unable to finish them in three days and three nights, and it would be insignificant in itself.
people."
Chu Miaoer agreed very much with this point. If Princess Ling Hui hadn't suddenly returned to Kyoto, she might not have heard anyone mention this name in her life.
"You grew up in Dongling, and you don't know much about the affairs between nobles and ladies before Beijing," Fu Yunqi said lightly, "If it weren't for cousin Ling Hui, the second sister-in-law would not have married into the second prince's house."
From what he told Chu Miao'er, he learned that Princess Linghui was the daughter of the Queen Mother's sister, and that Ye Zhiqiu's mother and his aunt met by chance when they were young, so the two little girls of similar ages naturally played together.
Princess Ling Hui was especially favored by the Queen Mother. The two little girls often went to the palace to chat with the Queen Mother to pass the time. Later, Ling Hui was made Princess Princess.
At that time, two brothers, Fu Yunqi and Fu Yanshuo, accompanied Fu Deyou to Xiangfu Palace to pay their respects every day. During these visits, Ye Zhiqiu also fell in love with Fu Yanshuo.
After all, the Queen Mother was someone who had come before her, and she could see the clues at a glance. As they got along day after day, she also felt that Ye Zhiqiu was a kind and generous person, so she secretly brought the two of them together.
At that time, Fu Yanshuo only had a good impression of her but no love between men and women. However, due to her identity, he would always be polite with a hint of politeness when he met her. But Ye Zhiqiu would obviously be wrong and would always say a few extra words for him.
I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.
Fu Yanshuo was born with a fondness for dancing and writing, and he could speak out his words from an early age to please people. However, Ye Zhiqiu liked to play with flowers and plants. The two finally got married under an imperial edict from the Queen Mother.
It is worth mentioning that Fu Deyou actually wanted to marry Princess Ling Hui.
When they were about thirteen or fourteen years old, a few of them went out to the palace to play. Some rogues from the market suddenly appeared on the way. Their division of labor was very clear, and they entangled the remaining people for Princess Linghui.
They all left the palace quietly without a single guard around them. Seeing the two women surrounded, they were all panicked. When those people were about to succeed, Fu Deyou rushed forward and came to the rescue as a "hero to save the beauty."
Originally, after Fu Deyou returned to the palace, he wanted to take over Princess Ling Hui as a matter of course, and privately asked the Queen Mother to let her betroth Ling Hui's cousin to him. The Queen Mother was happy to marry him, but his aunt firmly disagreed, saying that she was Princess Ling Hui.
Not adaptable to life in the palace.
He took her out of the palace that night, and later made excuses not to let her enter the palace again, and then the whole family left Kyoto that night.
"In this case, my aunt has a sharp eye. At that time, she knew that some people were unreliable, so it would be better to hide far away and be remembered." Chu Miaoer chuckled after hearing this.
"Of course," Fu Yunqi also chuckled, "My aunt has always been a very wise elder in my mind, but after they left Kyoto, they rarely had contact with the palace, and I never saw her again."
Chu Miao'er remained silent and thought quietly for a moment before saying: "I didn't expect him to have such a stronghold at that time. Those who are just idle people, if they suddenly lose their minds, then Princess Ling Hui's reputation will not be good in her life."
Was it destroyed by his hands?"
"Humph," Fu Yunchi snorted disdainfully, "If he can think so much, it's not him. Later, after returning to the palace, I heard from my second brother that... he sent people to deal with all those people that day, leaving no one behind.
