Li Palace's elegance shocked the world: the goddess is blessed

Chapter 77
On the picture scroll, Zhuge cherishes the beauty's gaze, making people reluctant to look away, but it is not her beauty that deeply attracts Yuan Xiuyue's eyes, but the seal at the top right of the picture scroll!
Ji Shi has no worries!

Not Nangong Haoling, but Wuyou!

It turns out...it will be worry-free!
Staring at the inscription on the picture scroll, Yuan Xiuyue's heart felt as if a turbulent wave was coming, the brows could not be calm, could not be calm, she was already extremely excited!
"Director Ji, is this really drawn by the emperor himself?" Without raising her head, she asked Ji Heng beside her in a low voice.

"It is indeed drawn by the emperor's own handwriting!"

Nodding to confirm again, Ji Heng followed her line of sight and saw that she had been staring at the place where the scroll was signed. He smiled knowingly, and replied with a smile: "That is the seal that the emperor used when he was in Chu State, and he has been using it since returning to Li State. Never use it again!"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue's heart trembled!
"Really... is it the emperor?"

Lowering her eyebrows and narrowing her eyes, she carefully stroked the red seal on the signature, and her gaze slowly stopped on the scroll!

She thought, in this world, only Nangong Haoling, who has the deepest affection for her, can paint Zhuge Zhenzhen so vividly!

"What's wrong with you, Empress?"

They both felt Yuan Xiuyue's emotional ups and downs, Ting Lan and Ji Heng's expressions both changed!
"Ting Lan..."

Muttering Ting Lan's name in a very slow voice, Yuan Xiuyue's lowered eyelashes trembled again!
When she first entered the palace, Ting Lan mentioned that his voice was very similar to Wuyou's!

But at that time, she smiled lightly, never thinking that they would really be the same person!

"Miss?"

Stretching out her hand to support Yuan Xiuyue's arm, not knowing why she was fine just now, Ting Lan's eyes were full of worry: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!"

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Xiuyue looked back at Ting Lan with a gentle smile, turned around with frowned eyebrows, and asked Ji Heng: "Before the emperor ascended the throne, wasn't he the Duke of Duanwang? Why did he have this name on his seal?"

Hearing her words, Ting Landai frowned, and glanced at the scroll.

After seeing the imprint of the signature, the depths of her eyes were filled with deep shock!

Looking at the two masters and servants in front of him for some unknown reason, Ji Heng smiled lightly, and sighed bitterly: "Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was indeed the noble of King Duan, but before King Duan, he lived in Chu State for many years. That's the name he used there!"

Hearing what Ji Heng said, Yuan Xiuyue said, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Hearing Yuan Xiuyue's question, Ji Heng smiled wryly: "During the period when the emperor was in Chu State, it was extremely disgraceful to the royal family of Li State. Therefore, since the day he ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager has issued a decree regarding the past. No one is allowed to make half a word about this matter, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

Speaking of which, Ji Heng stopped talking.

Leaning over to roll up the picture scroll on the table, he respectfully said to Yuan Xiuyue: "This servant will go to the imperial study to serve the emperor, so I will take my leave first!"

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Xiuyue said, "I won't ask any other questions, I just ask you one more question!"

Ji Heng lowered his eyes and nodded: "My lady, may I ask you!"

The hand hanging by her side was tightly clenched, Yuan Xiuyue's lips moved slightly, and she asked slowly: "Five years ago, on the fourth day of the eleventh lunar month, in the middle of winter, where was the emperor?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiuyue would ask this, Ji Heng was slightly taken aback!
Frowning and thinking for a moment, he respectfully replied: "The eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month five years ago was the time when the emperor first ascended the treasure. As for the fourth day of November? At the end of October, the servant was still in Chu State, and the emperor and Concubine Xian went back to Li Country first, if counting the time, they should still be on their way back to Beijing..."

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue's heart suddenly tightened!
It's him!

Is it really him?
Taking a deep breath secretly, suppressing the excitement in his heart, he waved to Ji Heng: "Go to the Imperial Study Room first!"

"The slave retire!"

Although he was puzzled by Yuan Xiuyue's reaction, he didn't ask any further questions. Ji Heng respected himself again, turned around and left the bedroom!
Watching Ji Heng leave, Ting Lan frowned, and couldn't help asking Yuan Xiuyue: "Isn't your mother looking for Wuyou all the time? I haven't figured out the matter at this moment, how can I let Director Ji go?"

Yuan Xiuyue looked back at Ting Lan, and sighed faintly: "Didn't he just say that? Regarding the emperor's past, the Queen Mother has already issued a strict order. Seeing him like this, even if I ask him, he will not Said!"

"What should I do?"

Biting her red lips tightly, Ting Lan looked anxious: "Why don't you ask the emperor personally later?"

What happened on that snowy night five years ago is still vivid in her mind!
These years, Yuan Xiuyue has been looking for that person, and now she finally knows something, but she can't ask through it. This feeling like a stick in her throat is as uncomfortable as it is!

Seeing Ting Lan's appearance, Yuan Xiuyue couldn't help smiling: "Don't worry, I will ask you!"

For five years, she has been searching aimlessly.

Now it's hard to see the dawn!
Is there any reason for her not to ask?

She will definitely ask!
But whether to ask Nangong Haoling directly is open to discussion!
Just imagine, she has always regarded herself as his savior, if he knew that she was the one who saved him back then, plus the time she fell into the water two years ago, he might not know how to show off her might in front of him!

Yuan Xiuyue felt that since Empress Dowager Zhong ordered the palace people to keep quiet about the past, it would be difficult for her to get the answers she wanted in Yexi Palace. However, she was not discouraged, because The fact that the palace people dare not speak does not mean that Concubine Xian dare not speak!

After all, Ji Heng said just now that she, Xuanyuantang, was traveling with him at that time!
Just as she was thinking about it, a servant who was on duty in the outer hall came in, and said that it was the palace servant who had stained the scroll just now, and wanted to thank Yuan Xiuyue for saving her life face to face!
With a faint smile, Yuan Xiuyue sat back and slowly sat down at the table.

After a while, the little palace man was led into the bedroom.

Before she could say anything, she knelt down towards Yuan Xiuyue with a plop, "Slavery Qianqian, thank you empress for saving my life!"

While speaking, she touched her forehead to the ground, and there was a loud bang!

Seeing this, Yuan Xiuyue winked at Ting Lan.

Ting Lan understood, and quickly stepped forward to help Qianqian who was crying with snot and tears.

Quietly looking at Qianqian, seeing that she was delicate and beautiful, on par with Ting Lan, Yuan Xiuyue sighed softly and asked, "Your name is Qianqian? How old are you?"

"Yes!"

Trembling slightly, Qianqian murmured, "The servant girl is twelve!"

"Just 12 years old, still young!" Yuan Xiuyue smiled softly, looking at her red forehead: "I saved your life just now, and now you kowtow to show good or bad, wouldn't it be a waste of my thoughts?"

Hearing this, Qianqian's weak body trembled slightly, and she was about to kneel down in a hurry!
Seeing this, Ting Lan suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed her tightly: "Why? Still knocking! Do you really want to knock her to death?"

"Miss!"

Instantly reddened, Qianqian said tremblingly: "The maidservant's life was saved by the empress. In the future, the slaveservant is willing to stay by the empress's side and serve the empress with all her heart!"

"Bengong lives in the cold palace now, why do you want to stay by Bengong's side?"

His eyes stared at Qianqian for a moment, and he carefully observed her expression and behavior!
"Your Majesty saved the servant girl. The life of the servant girl belongs to the Empress. She should repay her mother with death, and..." Qianqian paused a little hesitantly, not daring to raise her head.

Frowning slightly, Ting Lan asked, "What else?"

Biting her lips tightly, Qianqian murmured in a voice like a mosquito: "This servant has been in the palace for three years, and has been working here in Yexi Palace. Although the empress is currently living in Lenggong, she is in Yexi Palace at this moment. Thinking that if you follow the empress, you can feel proud!"

Hearing what she said, Yuan Xiuyue couldn't help laughing!

After careful observation, she saw that her thoughts did not appear to be false, she nodded lightly, and said to Ting Lan: "I am short of a few capable girls around me, how about keeping her?"

Ting Lan smiled and put on a very old-fashioned air: "If the empress wants to stay, the servant will help to train her!"

"You!"

Shaking her head while laughing, Yuan Xiuyue straightened her expression, and said to Qianqian: "Go and see, Princess Xian is still outside, if not, then go to Funing Palace and ask her for something important! "

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Nodding heavily, Qianqian smiled at Ting Lan, turned around and left the bedroom with a happy smile.

Seeing her slightly light footsteps when she left, Ting Lan frowned and pointed: "Madam, this servant thinks this girl seems to be weak!"

"If you were smart, how could you enter the palace for three years and still be the lowest-ranked palace cleaner? Indifferently, she glanced at Ting Lan with a smile, and Yuan Xiuyue leaned back lazily on the imperial concubine's couch." After all, she was still young, You just have to train it well, if it really doesn't work, then it's my pistachio! "

Most importantly, she was worried that with this girl's mentality, even if she saved her once today, there might be another mistake in the future, and she would lose her head!
12 years old, to her, is really not that old!

Like Qianqian, what was she doing when she was 12 years old? !

At that time, she was also like Qianqian, she even had to run away when she was walking, and always secretly went to ride her brother's horse. At that time... It was great!
……

Qianqian went away for a long time, so long that Tinglan thought she didn't know the way to Funing Palace, so she couldn't come back for a while.

Just when she was about to send someone to look for her, Qianqian came back.

Hastening to meet Qianqian, looking behind Qianqian who was empty, Ting Lan couldn't help but frowned: "Didn't I ask you to invite Princess Xian? Where is she?"

She curled her lips at Ting Lan, looked at Yuan Xiuyue who was kowtow melon seeds on the imperial concubine's couch, Qianqian said with a slumped expression, "Your Majesty, I can't find Concubine Xian because of my servant's dereliction of duty!"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

Qianqian replied: "The slave girl arrived at Funing Palace, and when she heard from the nuns of Funing Palace that Princess Xian had returned to the mansion, she thought of going to the gate of the palace to wait..."

Has Xuanyuantang returned to the mansion yet? !
