The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 183 Strange Relationship
Walking to the entrance of the East Palace, a carriage was parked in front of it, obviously it had been prepared early.

Lu Yi helped her get into the carriage. As soon as she sat down, Zhao Yi opened the curtain and came in.

She asked: "Why so fast?"

He sat down next to her, very close to her, and she found that no matter how empty the seat next to her was, he always had to sit next to her, as if suffering from skin hunger.

He leaned slightly against her and said slowly: "I just went to get some things. I was afraid you would wait too long."

Li Baojia pushed him aside and said: "It's okay to wait a while. By the way, I heard from Lu Yi that I have a maid named Xiaotao. Why haven't I heard you mention her before? When will she come back and how is her injury? Already?"

There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, he tapped the table with his fingers, caressed the finger and said leisurely: "The main reason is that you are worried, so I didn't say anything. The injury is serious, and it is not suitable to move. Let her recover in Jiangnan first."

"Why are you suddenly talking about this today? Are the maids around you not serving me well?" His eyes were sharp.

She quickly said: "Of course not, even if it's a little strange, there's no need to arrange a new big girl, just wait until she comes back."

The carriage soon stopped at the entrance of the palace. Because of yesterday's big wedding, the decorations in the palace had not yet been taken down, and everything was still festive.

Zhao Yi got off the carriage, and Li Baojia stood on top of the carriage. He hooked one hand around her waist and easily lifted her off.

She followed him into the palace, and her words became noticeably less. She had been chattering in the carriage just now.

Entering the main hall, the emperor and the queen were already sitting on the upper floor. She quietly raised her eyes and saw a man in his sixties sitting on the upper floor. His face was criss-crossed with grooves and full of traces of time, and there was no trace of time on his face. What kind of smile is it, it’s even more scary to look at.

He was so skinny that he looked more like a Taoist priest than an emperor.

However, his facial features are three-dimensional and the bridge of his nose is high. It can be seen that he was handsome when he was young.

When he saw them coming, after saluting, he just stood up with a calm look on his face, as if he didn't care about these worldly matters.

Empress Zhou was very quiet this time and did not embarrass her. Li Baojia served tea to the two of them, and she took it and drank it well.

She looked at Li Baojia and waved the maid behind her to come over. The maid came over with a pear wood box. Queen Zhou opened it in front of him, revealing a pair of crystal clear red agate bracelets.

She took it out with her own hands and put it on Li Bao's hand. The bright red color of the bracelet showed that it was made of excellent material, and it made her skin color look like snow.

She said: "You are getting married to the prince, and I don't have much to give you as a gift. This pair of bracelets seems to be suitable for you. From now on, you should harmonize with the prince and spread more loose leaves for the royal family."

Her expression and movements were as normal as if what happened in the palace that day had never happened.

"Thank you very much, Queen Mother. I will definitely follow your instructions carefully."

Although Li Baojia felt strange, she had already prepared to be embarrassed. Seeing her like this, she naturally didn't want it, so she lightly blessed her and stepped aside.

After Queen Zhou finished doing this, she asked Zhao Yi some common questions with a smile on her face: "The prince has been busy with court affairs recently? Every time I see you, I always leave without saying a few words. Even if there are many things in court, you still have to do it in the same way." Your health is the most important thing, after all, you are the only son, how can you not be worried?"

She stood up and took a step forward, as if she wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but he suddenly took a step back, leaving her in vain. Empress Zhou put her hand down awkwardly, and the air froze at this moment. .

The emperor also spoke at this time. He said, "It's almost noon. In that case, why not have a meal together."

Zhao Yi said: "I naturally want to have a meal together, but unfortunately, the war report came from the north in the morning, so I had to go back to deal with it first. National affairs cannot be delayed. I would rather accompany my father next time. Mother, do you want to have a meal?"

Queen Zhou seemed to want to say something, but stopped.

The emperor didn't force it, he just hummed and said, "Then let's find time next time. It's important to deal with state affairs."

Li Baojia stood quietly beside him and acted like a transparent person, not saying anything. Hearing that he no longer had to have lunch in the palace, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to eat here. This place looked too scary, and she spoke in a roundabout way. Moreover, she was even more afraid that if she did something inappropriate and unbecoming of etiquette during the meal, someone would see her and make comments. Ichiban.

Zhao Yi bowed and left, then took Li Baojia and walked out from the entrance of the palace. For some reason, nothing happened just now, and he looked like a loving father and a filial son.But Li Baojia could inexplicably feel that the harmony between Zhao Yi and the emperor was not as harmonious as outsiders thought.

According to the outside world, the emperor should like the prince very much. He has been the prince since he was born, and his position is stable. There is almost no possibility that any prince can replace him.

Such princes were rare in the past dynasties, so there seemed to be no so-called princes in this dynasty. Almost all the dynasties belonged to the prince.

Even Queen Zhou felt that her attitude towards Zhao Yi was a bit strange, as if she was a little afraid of him.

But how could a mother be afraid of her son?
Although Li Baojia's mind was not spinning very fast, she still had the ability to observe people's thoughts. She was particularly sensitive to other people's thoughts. Although she couldn't say what was wrong today, she still felt something was wrong.

Zhao Yi is not the same as when he first came here. It seems that every time he leaves the palace, his mood will be a little worse.

He came to the gate of the palace with her. Li Baojia got on the carriage, but Zhao Yi did not get up. She looked at him with some doubts, but he smiled and said: "Jiajia goes back first. I have some things to deal with. It may be late." Come back later, Jiajia will eat first when she goes back, that’s all she used in the morning, she will be hungry if she doesn’t eat.”

So he just wanted to send her to the palace gate?

He had just said that he wanted to go back to the East Palace to handle military affairs, and now he said that he wanted to go back. Li Baojia was a little confused, but he still obediently said: "Okay, you go as soon as possible."

Zhao Yi lowered the curtain of the carriage, turned around and left. Li Baojia quietly opened a crack in the curtain, looked at his back for a while, and suddenly jumped off the carriage.

Lu Yi was startled by his actions and asked: "Empress, are you...?"

Li Baojia held up her skirt and turned to her to silence her, and said, "You come here and sit down first. I suddenly want to go to the toilet. I'll come back by myself later."

Lu Yi wanted to say something more, but she ran away while holding up her skirt and taking a cigarette.
