Su Ying seemed to be very embarrassed. He opened his eyes and looked in a panic, not knowing where to look. He even stuttered when he spoke: "I, I am not there."
Xiao Yuehuai tilted her head and stared at him. She quietly leaned over and said with a smile, "Really? I think you are about to crush the jade pendant in your hand?"
After her reminder, Su Ying reacted suddenly. He unknowingly pulled the jade pendant from his waist and held it in his hand, which made him sweat.
His face under the mask turned red and he was almost ashamed.
Xiao Yuehuai found it more and more interesting, so she moved closer and asked, "General, why don't you dare to look at me?"
Su Ying held his breath, unable to resist her teasing, so he decisively moved to the soft mat on the right, keeping some distance from the princess. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuehuai chased after him reluctantly and said, "Why are you running? Am I so scary?"
Su Ying clenched his fists and did not dare to answer, lowering his head in a depressed manner.
When the little girl came up to him again, he was so frightened that he fell to the center of the courtroom. He covered the injury on his waist and snorted softly. He quickly got up again, leaned against the door and begged in a low voice: "Princess, please stop teasing me..." .”
Xiao Yuehuai frowned, but she didn't believe in evil. She touched the soft cushion and moved towards him: "The general rejects me like this... It's really sad!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and pretended to cry. At this moment, Su Ying was even more at a loss. When he was about to say something to comfort her, the usually stable bullock cart jolted at this moment.
Xiao Yuehuai just stood up and her feet were not steady. She rushed out due to inertia and was about to fall out of the carriage. Someone grabbed her waist in time and fell to a soft place.
When she realized what she was doing, she was already lying in Su Ying's arms, very close to him face to face. The two were so close, their breaths intertwined, that the atmosphere gradually heated up.
Su Ying was stunned, as if he didn't expect the situation at this moment, neither retreating nor advancing.
Soon Xiao Yuehuai woke up and struggled to get up. Her face was slightly red, and she crawled back to the cushions in a panic. She pretended to be calm and straightened her clothes and hair, cleared her throat and said, "That's right." It's strange, this soap wheel cart is the most stable, how could it be so bumpy today?"
Su Ying was stiff for a while before he recovered. He propped himself up with one hand, leaned slightly into the angle between the car door and the wall, and huddled there without moving.
After a long time, he lowered his voice and said: "I am not rejecting the princess. It's just that... I am used to staying in the military camp and don't know how to get along with girls. Please forgive me, princess."
Xiao Yuehuai glanced at him, curved her lips and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't take it to heart, and neither does the general."
The ox-cart drove slowly and arrived at the gate of the palace just before Youzheng. There was a young eunuch on duty holding a large set of copper locks and preparing to close the palace door. Alu sat on the front seat and shouted: "Sir, please wait!"
When the young eunuch heard the noise, he quickly ran up with small steps and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Oh! Miss Alu! I thought you weren't coming! I was worried about how to explain to the superiors? Now Okay, finally we’ve waited for someone.”
Su Ying got out of the car first and waited aside. When the princess came out carrying the skirt, he stretched out his hands.
Xiao Yuehuai looked at him. The gentleman stood up straight and motionless, looking towards Changming Gate, as if he were a sculpture. She couldn't help but smile, put her hand on Su Ying's arm, used a little strength, and stepped on the bench to stand on the ground.
The young eunuch immediately saluted her: "I have seen Princess Huaicheng."
"The inner palace has been prepared and is waiting for you!" After saying that, he moved his body to lead a few people in.
Changming Gate is locked.
Xiao Yuehuai led Su Ying towards Haoyue Palace where she lived before getting married.
The night spread, and the moonlight covered the entire imperial city. The gentle breeze blows in the alley, accompanied by a strong scent of osmanthus, which is sweet to everyone's heart.
Here, before Xiao Yuehuai and others arrived at Haoyue Palace, the Queen of Changqing Palace had already received news that the consort had entered the palace.
When Alu asked the maid sweeping the court to unload her clothes, she caught sight of the people standing on the front porch. He hurriedly turned to the girl behind him and said, "Princess... Aunt Wen is here. I'm afraid Her Royal Highness the Queen is also in the palace."
Xiao Yuehuai said in surprise: "It's so late at night, why is the queen coming here?"
When Guiwen asked, she knew that Alu couldn't guess the reason, so she took the initiative to go up the steps and called out: "Auntie?"
Wen Rong, the palace magistrate of the Changqing Palace, raised his arms and crossed his hands, saying respectfully: "See Princess Huaicheng, see the consort. The queen is waiting in the inner hall, please hurry in."
Xiao Yuehuai was confused. She looked at Su Ying and saw the confusion in his eyes. They both entered the palace at the same time and walked to where the queen was waiting.
At this moment, Yue Wuran was sitting next to the desk, flipping through the calligraphy scroll that Xiao Yuehuai had practiced before getting married. A smile appeared on her lips unconsciously. When she heard her daughter's gentle call, she raised her head happily and ran to Outside the bead curtain, he called kindly: "A Huai is back?"
Xiao Yuehuai stopped. Su Ying followed behind and had to pause.
Yue Wuran's eyes were full of joy, and he pulled her to look left and right without stopping. Xiao Yuehuai looked at her mother's slightly weathered face, feeling a mixture of sadness and joy in her heart. She silently turned her eyes red, enjoying the tenderness of this moment.
The last time she met her mother in her previous life was at a palace banquet celebrated by all the ministers. After that, she was imprisoned in the palace by Lu Pingsheng and never had the chance to return to the palace. Later, Dayu destroyed Zhou Dynasty, and her mother died tragically under the enemy's sword, her head missing.
And she could only hear about her mother from rumors, and she didn't even have the chance to collect the body in person...
With tears welling up in her eyes, Xiao Yuehuai lowered her head and choked with sobs: "It's so late at night, how come the queen is here?"
Yue Wuran held her hand, but his eyes turned to Lang Jun who was standing beside him: "The general is back too? Very good, very good! I want to come and take a look. Is there anything else I need to buy for you?"
Yue Wuran turned around to look at him, and Su Ying immediately bent down and bowed: "I see the Queen, and I respectfully wish the Queen to have her peace."
Yue Wuran smiled and nodded: "Why don't you change your title? You should call me Queen like A Huai."
Su Ying was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in embarrassment and called: "Mother."
Yue Wuran was very impressed. He nodded repeatedly and looked between the couple. Then he pulled Xiao Yuehui to the corner and whispered in his ear: "I already know about the quarrel between you and Su Ying! This time, since you Bring him back to the palace and get along well with him. Yu Ke will keep an eye on him at all times!"
Xiao Yuehuai said angrily: "Mother! How old are my children? They can take care of their own household affairs! Don't worry about it."
Yue Wuran raised his hand and scratched her nose lightly, and then ordered outside the palace: "Wen Rong, take people to clean up the berths in the main hall of Haoyue Palace, and ask people to prepare warm mattresses. Don't let the princess get away when it gets cold. My husband and I caught a cold at night."
