into the bosom

Chapter 423

"Don't worry about this. As long as you persist, the imperial sister will definitely not kick you out again. Besides, don't you still have me? I will go and talk to the imperial sister when I turn around. Just relax and stay in the palace steadfastly." Here, let’s have a lively New Year together.” Emperor Xian said with a smile.

Xu Jiao thanked her again, and Emperor Xian waved her to go to Anfu Palace.

Xu Jiao saluted and resigned, and when he walked out of the imperial study, the smile on his face suddenly faded.Emperor Xian treats her differently, and the reason why he regards her so closely at such a critical juncture is because of her painting skills, and wants to use her to analyze the painting hidden in Mr. Jiuyi's painting The treasure map, but why he suddenly didn't mention it at all, as if he had completely forgotten about it.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.It's just that she couldn't figure out why Emperor Xian was like this for a moment.It's not safe to stay in the palace right now, but she can't allow her to escape easily.

That's all, Xu Jiao pursed his lips and thought, if soldiers come to block them, it's enough to cover them with water and earth.

"A Su!" At this moment, a call suddenly came from behind.

Ash?Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, she stopped almost subconsciously, and suddenly turned her head to look behind her.Not far behind, there was a patrolling imperial army. The general at the head was looking at each other from a distance. He was caught off guard by Xu Jiao's eyes. He was startled, and hurriedly turned his eyes away. , Yu just called to stop him, saw that the uniform was also a member of the imperial army, said a few words in a hurry, and walked towards Xu Jiao quickly.

But Xu Jiao lowered her eyes, and the light in her eyes that was lit up by that call scattered away like dots, and the corners of her mouth pulled a slightly self-deprecating arc, and for a moment, she really wanted to punch herself on the head.

Isn't this person the same general surnamed Chen that he met at the city gate when he returned to Feng'an earlier?I vaguely remember that his name seems to be Chen Su...A Su!Ashu... I don't know what I was thinking about all day, but I was able to confuse the flat tongue and the warped tongue.Besides, how could A Shu appear here and now?

Xu Jiao scolded himself quietly in the bottom of his heart, Chen Su on the other side had already come close, clasped his hands and said, "The last general will see the princess, the princess Wan'an."

Xu Jiao was already smiling, raised his hand lightly, and when he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of the uniform on Chen Su's body, his eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Chen...Captain, there is no need to be polite, Rather, this princess should congratulate Chen Duwei. I didn't expect Chen Duwei to be promoted in less than a month, and he really is young and promising."

Chen Su's ears were red with embarrassment, and he hurriedly said, "The princess is absurd! It's just that there is a shortage of people in the imperial guards in the palace, and the general is lucky. I thought I was wrong, but I didn’t expect that it was the princess who entered the palace, and I was hesitant to come forward to greet the princess, but I didn’t expect... to disturb the princess, I really deserve to die." He clasped his fists again and gave a deep bow.

"Chen Duwei doesn't need to be polite, the princess is not so easily frightened." Xu Jiao said, raising his eyes to look at the imperial army behind him, and said with a smile, "Since Chen Duwei is on duty, the county lord is not so easily frightened." The Lord will not bother you!" As she spoke, she nodded slightly towards him.

The fleeting sadness on Chen Su's face soon came to his senses, and he said in a respectful voice, "Congratulations to the princess!"

With a turn of his heels, Xu Jiao turned around with the two maidservants and continued walking along the path towards Anfu Palace.

From the corner of Wen Tao's eyes, she glanced behind her, and without stopping, she frowned and said, "This man looks like a goose, but he has no rules, and he is staring straight at you, princess!"

Chen Su still stood where he was, watching them leave, his gaze fell on Wen Tao's eyes, it seemed very presumptuous, a little captain, dare to think about their princess?
The smile on Xu Jiao's face had already been deeply pressed into the corner of his lips, "Let someone check this Chen Su!"

Wen Tao was startled, raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Jiao very quickly, and then replied softly, "Yes." But her heart was already overwhelmed, what does the princess mean?Also, do you want to send a letter to Mr. Lang about this matter about Chen Su?
Arriving at Anfu Palace, the eldest princess really changed her face when she saw Xu Jiao, "Why did you enter the palace? Didn't I say that since you are sick, you should stay in the mansion to recuperate well, and don't run around?" That " The word "illness" is extremely heavy.

Xu Jiao sighed, "My illness is almost cured. I was afraid that the Empress Dowager and Mother would miss me, so I handed over a sign to enter the palace. It was His Majesty who sent someone to take me into the palace." As expected, Emperor Xian In order not to let the eldest princess get in the way, she concealed it so tightly that the eldest princess was so shocked when she saw her at this time.

"The sign you handed over yourself?" The eldest princess's face became even uglier.

Xu Jiao hurriedly took her hand, and said with a light smile, "Where's the queen mother? I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, and I miss her. Mother, please take me to visit her old man!" As she spoke, her hands tightened.

The eldest princess glanced at her hand, raised her eyelashes and took a deep look at her, then said in a deep voice, "The queen mother is resting in the inner hall, you come with me!"

The mother and daughter walked hand in hand, entered the inner hall, and met the queen mother.The Empress Dowager's complexion was worse than before, and she was as surprised as a princess when she saw Xu Jiao. After hearing Xu Jiao's words, her eyes suddenly darkened. out.

When there were only a few of them left in the dormitory, the Empress Dowager stared at Xu Jiao with deep sunken eyes, but said, "It seems that something happened, tell me!"

"The night before yesterday, my aunt sent someone to bring me a message, and asked me to bring her a message to my grandmother and mother. She said that she wanted to ask my grandmother and mother to meet first, and she had something to say." Xu Jiao confessed, "It's because I felt that the matter was of great importance, and after much deliberation, I went against my mother's wishes and handed over the sign to enter the palace."

The queen mother and the eldest princess were stunned for a moment, and then they realized who the aunt Xu Jiao was talking about. when and where."

"It's tomorrow, but as for the location, it's in the palace."

Palace?The Empress Dowager and the eldest princess looked shocked.

When Xu Jiao first heard about it, she was also shocked, but because she saw Xu Yu who had appeared in Zhongyonghou's mansion majestically, she didn't seem to think that Princess Huiming was so bold and dared to propose to meet the queen mother and eldest princess in the palace. So surprised.

Feng'an City, Miyagi...maybe they are all under the control of the Li family army, so Princess Huiming dares to be so confident.

What Xu Jiao could think of, the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess could also guess, so the expressions of the mother and daughter were very exciting, and they changed several times in an instant.

"However, as for where the appointment will take place, I didn't say anything. I only said that if my grandmother and mother agree to meet, I'll have someone tie a red ribbon on the crabapple tree in the yard after a while. Someone will be there tomorrow." Send us a message and tell us where to meet."

The Queen Mother listened, lowered her eyebrows and looked thoughtful.

The eldest princess looked at her, hesitated to speak several times, but failed to speak out.

Not to mention Xu Jiao, she has no position to talk about this matter right now.

The huge sleeping hall immediately fell silent, and it was really audible.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager looked up at the princess and Xu Jiao and said, "Ajiao, the Ai family knows what you want to pass on, and the Ai family has something to tell your mother. If you have nothing to do, then go out of the palace. You stay In the palace, your mother might not feel at ease."

The eldest princess also turned her head to look at Xu Jiao, she didn't speak, but the meaning couldn't be more clear.

Xu Jiao looked at them and shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the palace. Before coming here, His Majesty left me in the palace for the New Year, and said that if mother disagreed, he would come and talk to mother himself. In addition , the words passed down by my aunt yesterday, there is another sentence, that is, when we meet tomorrow, let me go together."

As soon as these words came out, the embarrassment on the faces of the Queen Mother and the Eldest Princess could no longer be hidden, their eyes were full of why and how could this happen.Naturally, this surprise was not aimed at Emperor Xian, but at Princess Huiming's request.

Xu Jiao also had doubts in her heart, but no matter what reason Princess Huiming asked her to accompany her, it was just what she wanted, so why should she care about the reason.

After a while, Emperor Xian really came, but he just told Xu Jiao to stay in the palace for the New Year.What surprised him was that the eldest princess didn't object much, and she accepted the matter indifferently, and said nothing more.

Now Emperor Xian is extremely unwilling to come to Anfu Palace, since he finished what he wanted to say, he didn't want to stay for a moment, so he just left.

After he left, the Eldest Princess looked at Xu Jiao who was looking at her eagerly, frowned and said, "Are you hungry? I asked them to prepare meals, so there is no need to trouble them to pack another place. You can stay with me at night." Stay here." That time when Xu Jiao was in danger in the palace and nearly drowned in the lake, the eldest princess still felt lingering fears, but now that Xu Jiao came into the palace, she had to be on guard all the time to feel a little more at ease.

With a warm heart, Xu Jiao took the eldest princess's arm and hugged her tightly, her mouth was as sweet as honey, "I know that mother loves me the most."

The eldest princess wanted to stare at her and scold her for making her own way, but seeing her pair of black and white eyes bawling at herself and smiling, the eldest princess' heart softened into a puddle of water, and she couldn't say any reprimands. In the end, she just sighed, raised her hand and gently rubbed the top of her head, "If you want to eat anything, you can go and talk to Rachel, and let them make it for you..."

In the afternoon, he hung the red tape on the crabapple tree in the yard. When Xu Jiao was bored, he propped his chin and sat at the window watching. There were many people passing by, and the crabapple tree was quite tall. It could be seen from outside the palace wall, so Xu Jiao lost interest in seeing it again.

After a peaceful night, when I got up early in the morning, when I had breakfast, a piece of paper was flatly pressed under the plate.

Seeing the note, the eldest princess and Xu Jiao glanced at each other, but Rachel's expression changed, she suddenly turned her head to look at the maids who brought breakfast behind her, knelt down with a plop and said, "Maid I really don't know when this note appeared here. The servant girl will check it immediately."

The other maidservants also quickly knelt down, they didn't know why, but when they heard these words, their complexions changed and their whole bodies became stiff.

"No need." The eldest princess picked up the note and quickly put it in her hand, but raised her eyes, passing them one by one with silent power, "None of you has seen this note before." , do you understand?"

The palace servants headed by Ruiqiu were shocked, and in the next moment, they nodded their heads and said, "The servants understand, they must keep their mouths shut."

"En." The eldest princess nodded in satisfaction, and waved her hand, "Go down!"

"Yes!" Rachel and the others responded, and filed out.

After they had all left and only the mother and daughter were left, the Eldest Princess took out the note hidden in her sleeve, Xu Jiao went over to read it with the Eldest Princess, it was only a short line of words , wrote exactly the place and time of the appointment.

"Mingye Palace?" Xu Jiao read softly, "Where is this place?" Looking up, she saw the Eldest Princess' complexion was light, but her eyes were deep, and Xu Jiao suddenly understood that there might be some stories about this place.

Sure enough, the eldest princess pondered for a while before answering, "It's the place where Bengong and Huiming grew up together."

Xu Jiao suddenly realized that there really was a story!Looking sideways at the Eldest Princess, seeing her pensive look, Xu Jiao was still full of questions, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.

On the contrary, the eldest princess was only in a daze for a moment, and when she regained her senses, she turned to her and said, "Hurry up and have breakfast! After eating, I can go to see my mother, pack up and go to Mingye Palace."

Xu Jiao nodded, and spontaneously served the eldest princess a bowl of porridge, "Mother, drink porridge!"

There was no snow for several days, and most of the snow had melted under the sun.The Empress Dowager was in great spirits this day, watching the sun rise, she wanted to go out for a walk.

In fact, the queen mother's body is getting worse day by day, so it is not easy to go out to enjoy the cold wind, but when she becomes stubborn, only the eldest princess can persuade her a few words.

Today, the Eldest Princess persuaded her, but the Empress Dowager insisted. The Eldest Princess was silent for a while, but she probably couldn't hold her back, so she agreed.It's just that the queen mother must be wrapped up thickly, and there is no shortage of big wool clothes and hand warmers, and people have prepared shoulders and shoulders. They are carrying the queen mother, and the eldest princess and Xu Jiao follow hand in hand.

I wandered all the way to the imperial garden, but the snow made the whole palace city lose its color, as if it was only cold and pale.

The Empress Dowager raised her head to look in a certain direction, and said suddenly, "Is that the Mingye Palace?"

The eldest princess raised her eyes, followed her gaze, looked at the corner of the cornice, nodded, and replied softly, "Yes." The voice was inexplicably gloomy.

"The Ai family still remembers how you looked like a dumpling when you were young." The queen mother suddenly sighed, "Let's go! Let's go to Mingye Palace..."

Naturally, no one would disobey her intention, so everyone turned around and headed towards Akino Palace.

Mingye Palace was the residence of the two princesses in the past, but it is adjacent to the bedroom where the Empress Dowager lived when she was still an empress, so it is convenient for her to look after her.

Because the queen mother has always loved the eldest princess, this palace has been reserved for her after she got married, but since the queen mother became a queen mother, she moved to Anfu Palace, which is much farther away from Mingye Palace.Most of the eldest princess returned to the palace and lived with the empress dowager in the Anfu Palace. In addition, Emperor Xian's knees were empty, not to mention the prince, not even a princess, and those concubines were not qualified to live in the residence of the former princess. It is vacant.
