Everything the queen says is right

With the eldest princess's promise, the queen mother was satisfied.

Hum, as long as she can see her great-grandson after this flower viewing party, everything will be fine.

But even so, the Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied when she saw that the eldest princess was still in the palace.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you go back home soon to prepare for the flower viewing party?"

The eldest princess was not annoyed at being scolded suddenly like this, and she accepted it respectfully.

"What the Queen Mother said is that I will go back and prepare for the flower viewing feast."

After finally saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, the eldest princess hurried to the Royal Garden.

And Ah Cha had been waiting for her in the Imperial Garden early.

"Comrade Princess, why did you choose to meet me in the Royal Garden?"

This is a question that Acha has been pondering for a long time.

The Royal Garden is basically the center of the palace, and it is so conspicuous that people will almost certainly notice them when they appear here.

Not to mention secretly going from the Royal Garden to Ronghua's palace, which would completely expose them.

When the dog emperor knows the news, he will doubt them no matter what.

After all, in the palace, it is abnormal enough to go to a concubine who has fallen out of favor and is under house arrest for no reason.

Moreover, one of the people who did this was a goddess, and the other was the eldest princess.

"Comrade Ah Cha, you don't understand." The eldest princess blinked and smiled mysteriously, "There must be a lot of things to do in this imperial garden."

"Let's go, I'll take you to a place first."

Ah Cha's current doubts can no longer be expressed simply in words.

Aren't they all already in the Imperial Garden?
Where else do you need to go now?

Of course the eldest princess saw her doubts, but she did not choose to answer her now.

"Well, this is where I'm telling you."

Ah Cha was taken all the way to the foot of a small rockery by the eldest princess.

Ah Cha didn’t understand even more.

Isn't it just a rockery?

What's so good about this?
And this has nothing to do with the palace they are going to, right?

Seeing her like this, the eldest princess took the initiative to remind her: "Go up and take a closer look."

Listening to the eldest princess's words, Ah Cha raised his head even higher.

At a glance, I saw a pavilion standing on the top of the rockery.

Ah Cha looked left and right for a long time before tentatively guessing and asking.

"Are you saying we're going to this pavilion?"

"Yes or no." The eldest princess shook her head and whispered in her ear, "What do you think will happen if we let people think we are in this pavilion?"

What will happen?

As long as someone they trust is guarding them, they can pretend to be in this pavilion.

And they can go anywhere without being discovered.

"So you want to arrange for manpower to guard this place."

After Ah Cha got the exact look from the eldest princess, he asked another question.

"But the Royal Garden is so big. Even if we are not in this pavilion, it will be difficult to go to other places."

The eldest princess snapped her fingers and showed a proud look, "The mountain man has his own clever plan, just follow me."

However, before going up to the pavilion, preparations must be done.

The eldest princess glanced majestically around the followers and gave the order.

"Come here, please guard this place for me."

"I want to go to the pavilion with the goddess to have a rest."

"If anyone dares to disturb the peace of me and the goddess, I will never let you go!"

The eldest princess grasped the aura of the superior very well, and immediately frightened the servants present.

"Yes."

Ah Cha stood quietly by the side without expressing his opinion.

She still had great faith in the eldest princess's manpower.

After all, the eldest princess is the queen mother's daughter and the emperor's sister. She has some power in the palace, and these servants must be reliable people.

After giving instructions, the eldest princess quietly winked at Ah Cha, and Ah Cha followed her up the path beside the rockery to the pavilion with great difficulty.

Why is it difficult?

Because the rockery doesn't look big, but the way to the top is a bit steep.

Ah Cha was not familiar with this place and had not climbed a mountain for a long time. He was unusually embarrassed and almost slipped several times.

But don't mention it, the view from this pavilion is very wide, and you can basically see most of the imperial city clearly.

"This is a rockery specially built by the founding emperor to give the emperor an opportunity to observe the imperial city and escape when he was in trouble."

"Don't underestimate this pavilion. In fact, the world inside is not as terrifying as usual."

What the eldest princess said aroused Acha's interest.

"Terrifying? Apart from being able to see most of the imperial city, there seems to be nothing special about this pavilion."

Of course, this is just her current feeling.

But she was really shocked by the eldest princess's shocking statement.

"Also, I understand that this pavilion can observe the imperial city, but where does it give the emperor a chance to escape?"

The eldest princess smiled at her and turned an inconspicuous blue and white porcelain ornament on the side.

"That's why I chose to bring you here."

As her words fell, a dull sound came from the ground.

"Boom—"

A huge entrance appeared on the ground in the middle of the pavilion.

Below the entrance are deep steps.

Ah Cha's eyes widened in surprise, "This is..."

The eldest princess accepted her words and walked in first, "You will know what this is when you follow me in."

Ah Cha was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, "Oh... ok."

These steps were much more numerous and longer than she had imagined. Fortunately, there were lamps on both sides so that she would not have to walk through the steps in the dark.

"Being very narrow at the beginning, you can understand people."

The road was too narrow for her to walk side by side with the eldest princess.

However, from the eldest princess's very skillful movements, Ah Cha still put her heart back in her stomach.

Presumably, with the eldest princess leading the way, nothing will go wrong.

“After walking dozens of steps, I suddenly became enlightened.”

Ah Cha felt that these two sentences could not be better to describe their current situation.

Because they hadn't walked long, there was light coming from ahead.

"Comrade Acha, we are here."

arrive?

This is it?

At this moment, Ah Cha felt that he could understand the Wuling man's state of mind.

The sense of mystery lasted too short, how could it be achieved?

But following the eldest princess out of the exit, she really saw a different world.

It is not an exaggeration to even call it a peach blossom garden.

Even in autumn, there are still flowers hanging on the treetops, birds flying everywhere, and the crisp sound of wind chimes blowing in the wind.

"Is this the palace you want to bring me to?"

The eldest princess looked at her and said seriously, "Yes."

"I learned about the secret passage just now by chance, and accidentally broke into it."

"But I want to tell you in advance that the emperor's feelings for this Rong Hua are very unusual."

Ah Cha looked at the surrounding environment and replied: "I can guess a little bit."

If the emperor didn't really care about a person, it would be impossible for him to put a tribute girl sent by the Southern Barbarians under house arrest in this paradise-like place.

And this is not house arrest at all. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a vacation.

Not to mention that this palace is also connected to the secret escape route passed down by the Dog Emperor.

Even though Tuoba Jun's mother had the blood of the Blue Moon clan and was the daughter of the Blue Moon clan, she was still cruelly humiliated to death by the emperor.

It happened that a little tribute girl could be treated like this by the emperor.

Even before seeing this Rong Hua, Ah Cha was already full of curiosity about her.

But soon, her curiosity was answered.

"Ah Cha, I forgot to tell you a little bit."

"My imperial brother has always been tough and not soft, and besides being greedy for beauty, he seems to have other purposes for Rong Hua."

Other purposes?

Acha thought about it for a while and came up with a guess.

I'm afraid the Dog Emperor's purpose has something to do with making him immortal.

Based on what she has learned about the Dog Emperor in recent days, she believes that the most attractive thing about the Dog Emperor is his immortality.

Besides, it would be difficult for a dog emperor to do this to a tribute girl.

But before Ah Cha could think about it further, a cold female voice came.

"Since we have guests here, don't hide from me."

I?

Acha grasped this claim sensitively.

The eldest princess quietly winked at her and walked forward.

"Jin Ronghua, I'm here. You don't need to be too careful."

Listening to what the eldest princess said, it seemed that she was very familiar with Jin Ronghua.

Ah Cha frowned secretly.

The eldest princess is familiar with Jin Ronghua, so why didn't she tell herself first?
"There is a stranger behind you. Do you really want to introduce him to me?"

They were almost in front of the palace, but Ah Cha still didn't see the person who spoke.

What a person who doesn't hear the person but only listens to the voice.

"Jin Ronghua is joking, you are always well-informed, why do you need me to introduce you to you?"

Some of the back-and-forth conversations between the eldest princess and Jin Ronghua were not only familiar, but even contained a hint of invisible rivalry and a few other emotions.

Ah Cha couldn't think of a suitable adjective for the moment, but still followed behind the eldest princess without saying a word.

When we arrived in front of the palace, the door had not yet been opened.

The eldest princess took a deep look at the palace gate and then said slowly.

"I have already brought people here. Is this how Jin Ronghua entertains guests?"

The female voice inside said something with a hint of smile.

"The visitor is a guest. You have brought people here. I must treat the guests well."

As soon as the words fell, the palace door opened.

"boom--"

Before the door opened completely, the eldest princess gave Ah Cha a reassuring look.

"Jin Ronghua just has a weird temper. Just talk to her normally." Is it just a weird temper?

Ah Cha always felt that there was something strange about it.

The vermilion palace door opened, and the scene inside was unobstructed.

A woman covered in silver jewelry appeared in front of them.

"Princess, you are well."

"This goddess looks very special."

Ah Cha didn't expect that she had guessed his identity. After a brief surprise, she immediately reacted and barely maintained her composure.

"Jin Ronghua is so complimentary. There is nothing special about me."

For some reason, Ah Cha felt a little uneasy just by hearing her words.

But she couldn't tell the specific reason why she was uneasy.

By chance, Jin Ronghua pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Ah Cha with kindness in her eyes.

"The eldest princess and the goddess have come to my palace, so please follow me to have a cup of hot tea."

tea?

How come we just met and drank tea without even saying a few words?

Ah Cha hesitated again, but thinking about what the eldest princess had told her, she felt that she should still control the rhythm by herself.

"Jin Ronghua, I don't want to beat around the bush with you anymore. I came to see you today because I have something to say."

"Oh? Is the goddess so anxious that she can't even wait for a cup of hot tea?"

The atmosphere was a little tense.

The eldest princess put her arm on Ah Cha's arm affectionately and said in a half-joking tone.

"Jin Ronghua is really good at teasing people. It's not easy for me and the goddess to come to you this time. No matter what you say, you have to avoid the eyes and ears of the outside dog emperor."

Jin Ronghua's eyes darkened inadvertently.

After dealing with the eldest princess for so many years, she could still see what the eldest princess meant.

Holding the goddess's arm means that you are on good terms with the goddess and ask her not to embarrass the goddess.

And mentioning the Dog Emperor was deliberately stimulating the hatred in her heart.

It's a pity that she is no longer the same person as she was back then, and she will never lose control of her emotions because of the Dog Emperor.

"Why do you, the majestic princess, need to be afraid of the Dog Emperor's eyes and ears? If you go and cry in front of the Queen Mother, the Dog Emperor won't do anything to you."

Ah Cha immediately heard the coldness in Jin Ronghua's words and secretly thought it was not good.

"Eldest Princess, Jin Ronghua, I'm thirsty. It's not too much to ask for a cup of hot tea."

Her words successfully brought the two of them back to their senses and they answered her at the same time.

"Not too much."

"Not too much."

Tsk, there is such a tacit understanding.

I'm afraid there is still a past between the eldest princess and Jin Ronghua.

Of course, now is not the time to discuss this.

Ah Cha knew very well that since Jin Ronghua knew his identity from the beginning, he knew his purpose even more.

Sure enough, just after entering the tea room, Jin Ronghua couldn't hold back his words.

"My Lady Goddess, I am very destined to you. I wonder if I can have a few words with you alone?"

Before Ah Cha could respond, the eldest princess's reaction was unexpected.

She stood up suddenly, pointed at Jin Ronghua's nose and scolded loudly, "I'm warning you, don't offend Jin Chi! Ah... the goddess is someone I brought here. If she has any shortcomings, I will The palace will definitely die with you!"

Unexpectedly, Jin Ronghua was not angry after hearing this, but smiled.

"Okay, then I will wait to die with you."

Ah Cha feels that this world is too magical.

How come two people who say harsh things to each other can still stand together so harmoniously.

Ah Cha quickly responded before the eldest princess could say anything else.

"Okay, I can talk to you alone."

She turned around and took a deep look at the eldest princess.

"I am discussing something with Jin Ronghua. Please ask the eldest princess to stay out of the way for a while."

The eldest princess naturally understood the meaning of Acha's words and nodded gently towards her, but she still maintained the domineering look on her face.

"Jin Ronghua, please don't forget what I just said!"

"I must not forget the instructions given by the eldest princess."

As Ah Cha looked at them, he felt more and more that these two people were simply too weird.

After the eldest princess went out, Jin Ronghua looked at Ah Cha carefully from top to bottom.

"If you, the goddess, have anything to ask me, just ask me directly and I will tell you."

She was not used to being stared at with probing eyes by the goddess.

She had said so, so Ah Cha had no reason to be polite to her.

"I wonder what kind of past there is between Jin Ronghua and the eldest princess?"

Jin Ronghua was immediately asked.

It had been years since she'd been asked such a straightforward question.

But she promised Ah Cha that she would answer all the questions, and there was no reason for her to break her promise.

So after being silent for a while, she finally spoke.

"The goddess must have noticed that I am very familiar with the eldest princess. Before that incident, we could even be said to be good friends who talked about everything."

"But just because of that incident, I was placed under house arrest in this palace and have never seen the eldest princess again."

Speaking of this, Jin Ronghua paused slightly, and there was uncontrollable sadness in his words.

"Perhaps if she hadn't brought the goddess here today, she would have forgotten me as an old friend."

She was referring to the eldest princess.

But when she suddenly heard her calling herself, Acha was still a little uncomfortable.

If he didn't adapt to it, Ah Cha felt it was necessary to continue asking.

"Then, can I know specifically what 'that thing' you are referring to?"

Jin Ronghua laughed at himself.

"Do you know?"

"I said I would answer all your questions, so I will naturally tell you."

"She should have told you that I was originally a tribute girl sent by the Southern Barbarians. With this good appearance, I was valued by the emperor and gained my current title and status."

"But I had a sweetheart before I entered the palace, and I don't like to be friends with others. I don't know how to please the dog emperor, so of course I was rejected."

"Then he will be put under house arrest by the Dog Emperor in this palace."

Ah Cha nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

That's right, the eldest princess told herself so.

Seeing her reaction, Jin Ronghua added the second half of the sentence.

"It's just as I thought. After so many years, she hasn't even changed her words."

Ah Cha was completely confused.

The eldest princess should not lie to herself.

And is she playing a charade game with Jin Ronghua?

As mentioned earlier, she acted like she was not familiar with Jin Ronghua.

As a result, looking at it now, it is obvious that Jin Ronghua is very familiar with the eldest princess.

"Well, she didn't lie to you, but she only told half of these things."

Jin Ronghua handed Ah Cha a cup of tea unhurriedly.

"Let me tell you the remaining half."

Ah Cha took the tea cup and glanced at her.

"it is good."

"It's true that I am a tribute girl sent by the Southern Barbarians, but more importantly, I am the saint of the Southern Barbarians. I am the saint who should have been sacrificed right away."

"The reason why I was sent to the palace was just a chance encounter with her. I became a good friend with her. After knowing what happened to me, she took the initiative to express her willingness to let me enter the palace."

"She knew I had a sweetheart, and the first thing she said was to let me enter the palace and be her female officer."

"But for some reason, after I entered the palace, I waited around and didn't see her. What I waited for was indeed the imperial decree from the Dog Emperor to confer me as Rong Hua."

"I have always wanted to see her and ask her in person why she was acting like this, but every time the people sent out came back with the news that she refused to see me."

"Finally, at a palace banquet, I saw her sitting under the Dog Emperor. I couldn't help but rush over and question her."

Jin Ronghua choked up as he spoke, and big tears rolled down his face.

"But she took it seriously like a dog emperor and scolded me as just a rag-tag tribute girl from a lowly background. She said that I could only live by the emperor's favor in this life."

"It's okay to be told by a long-time friend, but she also took the palace concubine to humiliate me severely."

"From then on, I closed the palace door and never saw anyone again, never made friends with anyone, and never wanted to please the emperor."

"The Dog Emperor valued my appearance and wanted to tarnish me, but he never succeeded. My status and title were still retained, and I even lived a prosperous life in this huge palace."

Jin Ronghua raised his eyes and pointed around, with a forced smile on his face.

"Do you think I can't guess that her handwriting is involved?"

At this point, Ah Cha felt that everything could be explained.

She asked why the eldest princess hesitated several times, and why her words were so contradictory.

It turns out that there is such a past event hidden in it.

But from this point of view, it seems that the estrangement between the eldest princess and Jin Ronghua has a deeper reason.

Otherwise, with the temperament of the eldest princess, she would never be able to insult her former friends so unbearably, let alone bring her concubines along with her.

"Have you ever thought that you have never spoken to each other?"

Jin Ronghua wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shook his head.

"It doesn't matter whether we talk or not now, we are already strangers."

"Can……"

As soon as Ah Cha's words left her mouth, she was rudely interrupted by Jin Ronghua.

"My Lady Goddess, I know that your intention here is not to know the past between me and her, but also to know the origin of your identity and your mission."

"But unfortunately, I have a sweetheart who is unwilling to sacrifice my life to the emperor."

She admitted that she did have a way to win the favor of the Dog Emperor.

After all, the Dog Emperor has never touched her body until now. As long as she gently obeys and teases her, she will become the Dog Emperor's most favored concubine.

It can even help the goddess and many people in the world.

But she is also an ordinary mortal.

She has a sweetheart, and they are very much in love. If they were not suddenly sent to the palace, they might have been married long ago.

No matter what, she hopes to keep her body pure and wait for her sweetheart.

Ah Cha understood what she meant, but Jin Ronghua was the most suitable person to be placed next to the emperor, and she had a system that could help her at any time, so she still wanted to fight for it.

"Jin Ronghua, what if I can help you deal with it in front of the Dog Emperor without you having to sacrifice your life for him?"

What responded to her was Jin Ronghua's slightly apologetic smile, "I can't get over the hurdle in my heart."

"By the way, the goddess is in love with me, so don't call me Jin Ronghua."

"I have my own name, my name is Jinlan."
