The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 186
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Everyone didn't dare to say anything, they all retreated respectfully.

Li Yu sat blankly on the couch for a long time, then slowly got up and took off all his bright red clothes, casually threw them aside, fell asleep.

"Hehehe..." In his sleep, he didn't know what to think of, and he suddenly let out a low laugh.

The next day.

Murong Yan stayed up almost all night, and got up early in the morning without waiting for the maid to shout, and even tidied up her appearance by herself.

Therefore, when the palace people filed in with copper basins and other toiletries, what they saw was the appearance of the princess sitting on the bed in full dress, and they were all shocked.

"Your Majesty, do you get up so early?" A palace maid blurted out and asked.

However, what she didn't say was, didn't the princess fall asleep last night?

There is a possibility, after all, on the day of the wedding, His Highness the Crown Prince leaves the bride and goes to sleep alone in the study, it would be uncomfortable for a person, let alone the Crown Princess?
Presumably I didn't know how to struggle in pain last night!
Seeing Murong Yan's appearance, some maidservants felt pity in their hearts.

But what Murong Yan can't bear the most is the sympathy of others. She has always been arrogant and arrogant, and she has always been used to bossing her around. Kind of grievance?
"Back off!" Murong Yan said with a cold face.

"Yes, empress!" The servants in the palace didn't know why she got angry, they were shocked again, no one dared to ask anything, and they all retreated quickly.

But even so, Murong Yan's face was still full of anger.The slender hands hidden in the ornate sleeves almost broke the nails.

But she can't!

She will go to serve tea to the emperor and concubine later, if such a pair of hands with broken nails is shining in front of others, how will she explain it?

Therefore, the best result is that she endured the tone and pretended that nothing had happened.

Murong Yan thought clearly in her heart, but she couldn't accept such a result in her heart for a while, she sat upright in front of the bed, took a deep breath, and felt better.

"Someone!" she called.

A servant girl from the outside came in: "Prince and concubine, what are your orders?"

"Go and see if the crown prince has woken up. If he has already woken up, then ask him when he will go to pay his respects to the father, the queen, the mother and the concubine." Murong Yan said calmly.

The palace maid hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but quickly responded: "Yes, empress." After she finished speaking, she turned around and retreated.

Murong Yan stood there watching her leaving back, a smile finally appeared on her face that had been gloomy all night.

So what if her life is difficult now?After all, she replaced Ye Zhaoqing as the crown princess, didn't she?

In the end, she won this battle!
"Princess Concubine, may I set the meal now?" A maid came in from the outside and asked cautiously.

Murong Yan was in a pretty good mood at the moment, she nodded her head when she heard the words: "Okay, let's pass the meal on!"

"Yes, empress!" The palace maid replied respectfully, turned around and retreated.

Murong Yan's gaze followed her back all the way to the outside of the hall, the courtyard was empty, except for the guards on both sides, there was no one else.

I don't know what the prince is thinking at this time?
But at this time, the palace maid who she had just sent out to inquire about the news hurried in from outside.

"Your Majesty! The maidservant has been to the study, but His Royal Highness is not here." The maidservant said timidly.

"Not here?" Murong Yan immediately raised her brows after hearing this, "Have you asked where the Crown Prince has gone?"

The servant girl nodded immediately: "Go back to your mother's words, the servant girl has inquired about it."

"Oh? Where did he go?"

"His Royal Highness, he..." The maidservant couldn't help hesitating as she spoke, with a hesitant expression, she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

Immediately, a bad feeling welled up in Murong Yan's heart, she lowered her face and said, "Where did His Royal Highness go? What are you hesitating about? Why don't you tell me?"

"Return to your mother's words! His Royal Highness, he left the palace early in the morning!" Seeing that her face was not very good-looking, the palace maid suddenly turned pale with fright, knowing that she would die if she stretched her head out, and if she retracted her head, she would die. He gritted his teeth and said it all.

Murong Yan was stunned when she heard this: "His Royal Highness has left the palace? His illness is still not fully recovered. Does the imperial concubine know about this?"

"Your Highness seems to be leaving without saying goodbye." Seeing that although she was extremely angry, she didn't intend to take it out on herself, the maid felt a little relieved, and hurriedly replied: "When he left, he asked someone to give me a hand. Concubine Rong sent a letter."

"So he didn't say anything to Ben Gong?" Murong Yan didn't have any expression on her face when she heard this, but her voice was very cold.

The servant girl trembled instantly when she heard this, and said falteringly: "This servant girl doesn't know..."

"Okay, you get back! I don't mean to embarrass you, just look at how scared you are." Murong Yan said with a calm look at the maidservant.

"Thank you, ma'am!" The maidservant immediately showed a grateful expression when she heard the words, she saluted and turned around to leave.

When Murong Yan was the only one left in the inner hall, a ferocious look slowly appeared on her beautiful face: "You don't even accompany me to serve tea to the elders, brother prince, What you do is amazing!"

Needless to say, it is absolutely impossible for Li Yu to accompany her on the day of returning home three days later.

It turned out that this was the price she had to pay for becoming the princess!
"Hahaha..." Murong Yan suddenly laughed wildly, while laughing, tears suddenly rolled down.

At this moment, Li Yu, the elder brother of the prince she was talking about, had already changed into casual clothes, and with a few guards, he left the capital in a light car, and rushed all the way towards Jinzhou.

At the same time, in Jinzhou City, Ye Zhaoqing and others finally embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Tens of thousands of ordinary people in Jinzhou City rushed to see them off, and the streets that had been deserted and quiet for a long time became extremely lively in an instant. Even Mr. Xing and the prefect of Lin sent each other off together, but the common people crowded in front of the city gate. He couldn't get close to Ye Zhaoqing.

"Miss Ziye's reputation is soaring now! If she returns to Beijing, even the emperor will look at her with admiration." Mrs. Xing sat on the second floor of a teahouse facing the street, looking at the bustling crowd below by the window, With a lot of emotion.

Prefect Lin, who was sitting opposite him, seemed very calm when he heard the words. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then said slowly: "What's the use of that? After all, the crown prince has married the Duke of Ding. It's a good old saying, but seeing the newcomers laugh and hearing the old ones cry, no matter how powerful Ms. Ye is, the emperor can't abolish Ding Guogong's daughter and replace her with the position? Don't you think so? After all It's a crown princess, it's not child's play to dismantle and erect for a while?"

"What you said makes some sense." Lord Xing sighed after hearing the words, and said, "But you have overlooked one point. His Highness the Crown Prince really has feelings for this Miss Ye, and she can't be easily replaced by an idle girl. You Just wait and see! There's no end to this thing."

After hearing this, Prefect Lin immediately sneered and said, "Master Xing, do you think too much about the contribution of vaccination? Yes, Ms. Ye has found a method of vaccination, which has benefited tens of thousands of people. Common people, but she is a woman after all, isn't she? The emperor can't give her an official job, right? She is still abolishing the crown princess, which is even more taboo. In short, she has done a lot, but she can get very few rewards. If you think about those real money and head jewelry, Ms. Ye may not pay attention to it, right?"

"That's true." Master Xing was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice, "Perhaps this is Miss Ye's greatest sorrow as a woman?"

"That's not necessarily true." After hearing this, Zhifu Lin immediately chuckled and said, "With such a great contribution, the royal family must always show something, otherwise it will chill the hearts of all people in the world."

After hearing this, Lord Xing raised his eyebrows immediately, with a bit of puzzlement on his face: "Aren't you inconsistent in what you said? One moment you said that Miss Ye can't get anything, and the next moment you said that the emperor can't treat her badly. What are you doing?" what you want to say?"

Prefect Lin smiled but did not answer, picked up the tea on the table and took another sip.

Master Xing glanced at him and saw that he was sitting like an old monk in meditation, calm and relaxed, without any sense of shame to deliberately tease people's appetite.

Cunning and cunning!

Master Xing secretly cursed in his heart, but said lazily on his face: "Master Lin, your son seems to be going to Beijing this year for the autumn exam? Do you need my help to take care of him?"

"Just wait for your old man's words!" Master Lin's face was full of smiles when he heard this, and before Master Xing asked, he spontaneously continued the topic just now: "After all, Miss Ye is She has made great contributions, even if the emperor has no plans to let her return to the prince's side, he will openly find a suitable husband and son-in-law for her to get married as soon as possible, do you think I am right?"

"You said, the emperor will give Miss Ye a marriage?" Lord Xing couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

"I've already said that this is the next best thing to do." Lord Xing shook his head when he heard the words, and then said: "After all, it depends on what the emperor wants. If he wants Miss Ye, a very vocal girl, to continue to follow the prince side, then he will not order her to marry someone else, and vice versa."

After hearing this, Mr. Xing suddenly showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Then tell me, which one is more likely?"

After hearing this, Lord Lin replied without thinking: "Of course it is the former! If I were the emperor, I would also let Miss Ye return to the side of the prince. A kind of help, but the bad thing is that if this very popular Miss Ye enters the palace again, and the prince's feelings for her, the situation of the new crown prince and concubine may not be very good. "

Lord Xing fell silent when he heard the words.
