Chapter 10

Yang Xuan came out of the clean room, and seeing her with disheveled hair and staring at him like a female ghost, she suddenly felt chills down her spine, "Princess...won't you go wash up?"

Zhao Shuang withdrew her gaze, thinking again in her heart.

He has always been clinging to himself during this time, maybe it is also to please himself, so that he can seize the throne of Da Zhou in the future?

After thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. If he had rebelled against him while he was asleep, he would have rebelled.

When the carriage drove outside the palace, the sun had already risen and the spring breeze was blowing.

"The old servant is happy to meet His Highness the Princess and the Regent." An old servant led two small yellow doors and knelt in front of the carriage to greet him.

"Eunuch Changxi." Yang Xuan helped Zhao Shuang get off the carriage, "How are the emperor and the queen mother?"

"All good, all good!" Chang Xi nodded and smiled, seeing the young woman beside him, suddenly wept with joy, "Eldest Princess!"

"Eunuch Changxi." Zhao Shuang had a good impression of this servant, who was kind and kind.

"If the first empress is still alive, I wonder how happy I would be to see the princess wake up..." Changxi tugged on her sleeve, reluctant to let go, and kept nagging.

"Changxi, it's a great event for the eldest princess to wake up, don't cry!" Yang Xuan patted Changxi's shoulder and asked, "Where are the emperor and queen mother?"

"Look at me, I almost forgot about business!" Changxi wiped away his tears and led them into the palace gate, "The queen mother said that today is a family banquet, and she is hosting a banquet in Qingning Palace. His Royal Highness comes with this old slave."

It was the first time in Zhao Shuang's life that she entered the Great Zhou Palace. This Weiyang Palace was full of jade and gold, and she felt that the fairyland that her master used to talk about was probably nothing more than this.

No wonder people in the world are greedy for power. Wealth and honor in the world are no worse than becoming immortals.

She suddenly remembered that Master said that she was "not calm", so she quickly stopped her thoughts.

The two followed Changxi around a towering white jade gate and entered the Qingning Palace.

Suddenly, he saw a beautiful boy with a face like a crown of jade squatting in the garden, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, and two white long-haired dogs lying on the opposite side not far away.

One person and two dogs are confronting each other.

"Emperor... Your Majesty!" Chang Xi exclaimed.

It turned out that this was her half-brother Zhao Hongyi.

The two long-haired dogs seemed to be frightened when they heard the sound, they suddenly flew up and rushed towards the boy.

Zhao Shuang unconsciously covered his eyes, and heard the boy scream again, followed by two more "bang bang".

When she opened her eyes, she saw the beautiful boy squatting in the garden, and the two long-haired dogs ran behind the rockery before they could bark.

It turned out that Yang Xuan threw two stones casually and hit the heads of the two long-haired dogs with precision.

"Regent! Thank you, Regent, for your rescue!" Zhao Hongyi got up from the ground, patted the dust on his buttocks, greeted Yang Xuan first, and then tilted his head to look at the woman beside him.

"Your Majesty, this is...His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Chang Xi quickly reminded.

"Sister Zhaohua?" The beautiful boy blinked, and then obediently took Zhao Shuang's hand.

Zhao Hongyi is 11 years old this year. He looks thin and weak, with pale complexion and thin, yellow hair. He looks like he is malnourished.

"Hmm." Zhao Shuang reluctantly held the young man's hand, and looked behind the rockery in the garden. The two long-haired dogs were still staring at him. "What were you doing just now? What happened to those two dogs?"

There are two ferocious long-haired dogs in the palace, and they are not tied to a leash. What if the precious emperor is hurt?
"The eldest princess doesn't know something," Chang Xi hurriedly explained, "These two dogs are a birthday gift from the Queen Mother Ranruo of the Western Regions to our Queen Mother. They have been raised for two years. One is called Ranyan and the other is called Ruo Ruo Ji..."

"Why did you choose such a name?" Zhao Shuang asked puzzled.

"It's just because the queen mother of the Western Regions is named Ranruo, and our queen mother is named Yanji. The queen mother Lanruo said to take a word from each of the two names to commemorate the friendship between the two." Changxi glanced at the four people behind the rockery. With faint eyes, he sighed, "Ranyan and Ruoji were only the size of a palm when they first came, but they have grown rapidly in the past two years, and they have become what they are today. But they get along very well with everyone, and their habits She is also docile, but... just for some reason, the emperor wanted to fight with these two dogs when he saw these two dogs since he was a child."

"Why did you fight with two dogs?" Zhao Shuang looked at Zhao Hongyi bitterly.

"It's just...to try my hand." The little emperor lowered his head and muttered.

"In the past, the two sides were evenly matched. Later, Ranyan and Ruoji grew bigger and bigger, and the empress dowager was afraid that the emperor would not be their opponent, so she ordered someone to tie them to a dog post at the back of the rockery early in the morning..." Changxi continued. Then he said.

"Then why was it released to run around again? Almost ran into the eldest princess?" Yang Xuan frowned and looked behind the rockery.

The two long-haired dogs barked "嘿嘤", and quickly lowered their heads. It seemed that they had suffered from him before.

"It's because I wanted to compete with them like I did when I was a child, so I ordered someone to untie the rope." Zhao Hongyi glanced at Yang Xuan timidly, "Who knew that they improved so fast, and I was no longer an opponent!"

"Oh little ancestor, you are no longer their opponent!" Changxi wiped the cold sweat from his brow, "From now on, you must never get close to those two dogs."

Zhao Hongyi was slightly disappointed, he threw away the pine branch in his hand, and pulled Zhao Shuang into the palace, "Let's go! Sister Zhaohua, I'm telling you, those little maids in the palace who don't have long eyes are spreading rumors about you She is an old woman who is almost forty. Bah! I said it was impossible! My sister Chaohua is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Although this young man is not far-fetched, he is very good at talking. A few words made Zhao Shuang feel comfortable all over and tears filled his eyes. He held his hand and said, "Hongyi, you can protect my sister in the rumors. My sister didn't love you for nothing." .”

Yang Xuan curled her lips in disdain from behind, thinking that you haven't even seen this younger brother in person, why do you love him?
"The queen mother asked someone to make hibiscus osmanthus cake. It's delicious! Let's go and eat it!" Zhao Hongyi frowned, and pulled Zhao Shuang into the main hall of Qingning Palace.

In the main hall, there was already a table of food and wine, as well as various snacks and drinks, royal delicacies, which dazzled Zhao Shuang.

In my previous life, I lived a poor life, and I ate clear soup with little water and coarse grain corn buns every day. I didn't expect to have such good food in this life.

A beautiful woman was sitting behind the big round table, and when she saw Zhao Shuang from a distance, she waved to her.

"Zhaohua!" Empress Dowager Liu is a woman in her forties, not much older than Zhao Shuang, but there are many gaps on her face. Wake up, now that you and my mother and daughter meet, it must be God's mercy!"

Facing this strange woman with a sincere face, Zhao Shuang felt extremely embarrassed. Just as she was about to answer the conversation, Zhao Hongyi rushed to the front and said, "Queen, when did you go to the Taimiao to pray for blessings? You never go to the Taimiao."
