Chapter 78
Thinking that she should go to get the Yirong ointment for herself, Yuan Xiuyue nodded clearly: "Get up, I know!"

Hearing her words, Qianqian never got up: "The servant did not complete the mother's confession, please punish me!"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue said softly, "I still have to ask for punishment!"

Qianqian nodded: "The slave girl failed to complete what the mother asked, so she should be punished!"

"That's it!" Nodding lightly, Yuan Xiuyue threw the half-knocked melon seeds back on the plate, then her face turned cold, and she ordered Ting Lan, "Take Qianqian down and slap fifty!"

The figure couldn't help but trembled, Qianqian hurriedly begged for mercy: "Ma'am, please forgive me!"

With a puff, she couldn't help laughing, Yuan Xiuyue frowned and looked at her: "It was you who asked me to punish you just now, and now you are the one who begged me to spare your life, what do you plan to do to me?"

"Your servant is guilty, please punish me!"

Seeing her frowning and asking herself, Qianqian wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, so she couldn't help sobbing.

Looking at her with lowered eyebrows, Yuan Xiuyue's mouth twitched slightly, "I punish you to the cold palace, and clean up my residence inside and out!"

"Yes!"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiuyue's punishment for her was so simple, Qianqian nodded in a daze, and hurriedly got up and went to the cold palace.

Seeing her walking out while wiping her tears, Ting Lan, who had been holding back her laughter, finally couldn't help laughing: "No, no, I can't help it!"

What Yuan Xiuyue said was right, even if this Qianqian couldn't be trained to look good, she could still be regarded as a pistachio!

Xuanyuan Tang left the palace, Yuan Xiuyue wanted to ask her about Wuyou, so she could only wait for her to come back.

In a blink of an eye, it was already sunset.

Yuan Xiuyue couldn't help but look slightly sad when she heard the time when the palace gate was bolted, but Xuanyuantang still didn't come back!
Leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, she glanced at Ting Lan lazily, "Go to the imperial study and ask Director Ji to see when the emperor will come back?"

"Yes!"

Nodding lightly, she pulled up the quilt on Yuan Xiuyue, and Ting Lan got up and went to the imperial study.

In about half an hour, she returned from the imperial study.

Blessing the body in front of Yuan Xiuyue, she said softly: "I want to report to your majesty, this servant has asked Mr. Ji, and Mr. Ji said that the emperor will probably have dinner in the imperial study tonight, so that you don't have to wait."

"If he doesn't come back, what is Bengong doing here in Yexi Palace?!"

Feeling a sudden emptiness in her heart, Yuan Xiuyue's brows tightened, and she lifted the quilt and got up from the imperial concubine's bed: "Let's go, let's go back to the cold palace!"

"Miss?"

Mind slightly stagnant, Ting Lan stepped forward to put on the brocade shoes for Yuan Xiuyue: "The emperor didn't let the empress go back to the cold palace!"

Putting on the brocade shoes, Yuan Xiuyue stood up and raised her eyebrows at Ting Lan with a faint smile: "The emperor didn't let me go back to the cold palace, but there are rules set by the emperor himself in this palace!"

Almost everyone in the palace knew that Nangong Haoling never let his concubines stay overnight in Yexi Palace!

In addition to this, of course Yuan Xiuyue also knows!
Therefore, since he will not come back for a short time at this moment, she has no choice but to return to the cold palace first...

……

The day of March is warm and cold!
As soon as she got out of Yexi Palace, Yuan Xiuyue shrank slightly due to the cold wind coming towards her.

At this point, Ting Lan has already lightly put the cloak she prepared earlier on her shoulders!

"My Ting Lan is still caring!"

Slightly sideways, looking at Ting Lan behind her with a smile, Yuan Xiuyue stopped calling herself Bengong, and gently patted Ting Lan's hand.

Facing Yuan Xiuyue's eyes, Ting Lan showed a smile: "It's too cold outside, my lady hastened to get on the chariot, and when I got back to the Leng Palace, my servant will cook some side dishes for my lady."

"it is good!"

Nodding slightly, he helped Yuan Xiuyue down the stone steps step by step.

Returning to the Leng Palace after two months away, Yuan Xiuyue couldn't help feeling emotional when looking at the familiar medicine fields and buildings in the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the door, Yuan Xiuyue couldn't help closing her eyes and sighing as she smelled the aroma of herbs coming towards her!
Slowly opening her eyes, the clear sparkle in her pupils couldn't help but froze slightly!
Right in front, on the edge of the medicine field, Nangong Xiaoran was dressed in white, graceful and graceful, holding a jasper flute, pacing back and forth in front of the courtyard very leisurely.

From a distance, seeing Yuan Xiuyue come back, he raised his thin lips and smiled at her softly like a spring breeze.

"Ma'am, it's Mr. Xiao!"

Suddenly seeing Nangong Xiaoran, Ting Lan pointed to the white figure not far away, and raised her voice abruptly.

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue's eyes froze slightly, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.

Before yesterday, she asked him to enter the palace and bring Ting Lan back to the mansion as the queen of waste, but she didn't expect that he would never come back after he left, and it was the dead Nangong Haoling who appeared in the Hou's mansion!

She thought that when he entered the palace yesterday, he must have met Nangong Haoling.

But no matter what they talked about when they met, standing here again today, her identity is still the queen, and he is no longer her husband!
"I... see the empress!"

Wen Wen's voice was really nice, and Nangong Xiao Ran's pretty mouth turned up slightly to pay respect to Yuan Xiuyue.

"Ok!"

Gently pursing her lips, Yuan Xiuyue responded lightly, and met his gentle eyes with a smile: "Now that the palace gate has been locked, why is the prince still here?"

Nangong Xiaoran's eyes were filled with an inexplicable color because of her words: "When I entered the palace yesterday, when I entered the palace, I met the emperor here, and I was immediately detained in the palace!"

What he didn't say clearly was that not long ago, after Nangong Haoling set him free, he came here directly.

The reason is nothing more than hoping that she will appear, so that he... can take another look!
Hearing Nangong Xiaoran mention Nangong Haoling, Yuan Xiuyue's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "He didn't recognize the abolishment edict in my hand, so he snatched it and burned it!"

"Did you burn the edict?! It seems like he can do something!"

It seemed to be asking Yuan Xiuyue, and it seemed to be muttering to himself. After a moment of silence, the corner of Nangong Xiaoran's mouth moved faintly, and he put the flute behind his back. He respectfully said to Yuan Xiuyue, "My... palace!"

"Has the prince ever seen me get favored?!"

Yuan Xiuyue gritted her teeth lightly, and smiled bitterly: "For others, returning to the palace is a joy, but you know how much I yearn for a free life outside!"

Hearing this, Nangong Xiao Ran's eyes dimmed slightly!
He had indeed never seen her being favored, because she had never been favored before!

Secretly cursing in his heart, he sighed softly: "It's been a long time since I played chess with the empress, the empress is interested in playing chess with the king again!"

"Since the lord has such an elegant mood, why not do it?" Yuan Xiuyue turned her head to Ting Lan and ordered, "Tell He'er to prepare a chess game, and then go to the small stove to cook a few side dishes. , I will have a meal with the prince!"

"The slaves obey!"

Bowing her head in response, Ting Lan bowed slightly to Xiao Ran, and walked into the front hall first.

Not long after, the chess game was set up on the main table in the front hall. Yuan Xiuyue and Nangong Haoling sat at the table in pairs, one holding black and the other holding white.

He'er felt ashamed and fearful because of drugging Yuan Xiuyue earlier, after preparing the chess game, she backed out, and for a while, only Qianqian was left serving tea and water in front of the two of them!

After pouring tea with Yuan Xiuyue first, Qianqian sneaked a timid glance at Nangong Haoling.

Seeing him looking up at her, her eyes turned red, and she lowered her head to offer the tea in her hand: "My lord, please drink tea!"

Taking the teacup from Qianqian's hand with a smile, Nangong Xiaoran took a gentle sip, and looked at Yuan Xiuyue: "Where's the shadow?"

With a calm smile, Yuan Xiuyue glanced sideways at Qianqian. Yuan Xiuyue looked calm, raised her wrist and said, "Shadow is a famous shadow, not my servant girl. Now that she has returned to the palace, she will go back wherever she came from." Already!"

As soon as her son fell to the ground, Nangong Haoling's slender and thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly!
Memory, at this moment, seems to return to the past.

His thin lips were lightly pursed into a straight line, he narrowed his long and narrow eyes, sighed with a smile and shook his head, and said, "What you did... is really full of loopholes!"

At the end of the sentence, he gently raised his hand, placed the chess piece held between his fingers on the board, and then smiled warmly at Yuan Xiuyue, that smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel happy!
"No matter how many loopholes there are, you are only one son older than me. The prince forgot that there is a saying called... put to death and live later?!" Facing his handsome smile, Yuan Xiuyue felt a little relieved. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she lowered her mouth slightly.

This move of hers landed wonderfully, it not only filled the gap of the move just now, but also blocked the opponent's move, making Nangong Xiaoran in a dilemma for a while.

"I have played chess for several years, and your chess skills are still so superb!" Lifting his eyes and giving Yuan Xiuyue a soft compliment, Nangong Xiaoran frowned tightly while holding the chess piece in his hand, with a pensive look on his face.

"No matter how good it is, the teacher taught it well!"

With a faint smile, knowing that Nangong Xiaoran needed time to think, Yuan Xiuyue raised her eyebrows leisurely, but she saw Qianqian staring at him in a daze with admiration, her eyes darkened slightly, and the smile on her lips couldn't help but deepened a little.

Girls' feelings are always the most beautiful!
Gently, she picked up the teacup and took a sip. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Qianqian, what are you looking at?"

Hearing this, Nangong Xiao Ran's brows creased lightly, he frowned and raised his eyes!

"Uh?!"

Meeting his gaze in the air, Qianqian came back to her senses, and instantly lowered her head with her face flushed.

Staring at her pretty face that was blushing, Yuan Xiuyue couldn't help but teased Nangong Xiaoran: "My lord is so charming, I just saw her for the first time, so I hooked Qianqian's soul away!"

As soon as Yuan Xiuyue said this, not to mention Qianqian's expression froze, even Nangong Xiaoran's expression changed when she was playing chess with her!
"The empress made fun of the servant girl!"

Looking up at Yuan Xiuyue, Qianqian couldn't help biting her lower lip, and backed away with a face of shame.

The smile on her face became brighter and brighter, Yuan Xiuyue looked back at Nangong Xiaoran with a funny face, but unexpectedly bumped into his tender eyes.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment!

Staring into his eyes, the smile on Yuan Xiuyue's face gradually disappeared.
