But Qi Fang of Wu County left the prince's residence, and people came to the palace to announce Biqing into the palace.
It was Zheng Gonggong in the emperor's palace, the apprentice of Li Gonggong, the eunuch in charge, who was being led to the middle hall by the young man.
Su Yan sees off Wu Jun Qi. When he returns to the mansion, he meets the boy who runs to deliver a message. When he gets the news, he quickly goes back to the prince's study and informs Xu Biqing about it.
As soon as he heard that it was Zheng Gonggong beside the emperor, Xu Biqing went out and told him, "ask someone to take some cakes and good tea from Shengtan building."
"I've already prepared it. This meeting is waiting in the middle hall." Su Yan bows and follows her.
After hearing this, Xu Biqing also relaxed. Although he has won the trust of Yun Shikun, Zheng Gonggong is the man beside the emperor. There is a Li Gonggong behind him who can't be ignored.
She has read many historical books in modern times. Since ancient times, eunuchs have been the most easily neglected force, not to mention those around the emperor.
All the way back to the yard, Xu Biqing called her maid to wait and change her clothes. She changed into proper clothes and made up. She only put on light make-up. After finishing, she quickly walked to the middle hall.
However, a cup of tea was already outside the hall. Before I went in, I saw Mr. Zheng standing in front of the sandalwood shelf, holding a cup of tea in my hand and carefully examining a vase on the shelf.
Slowing down the pace, Xu Biqing slightly put on airs and walked in, "Mr. Zheng, I told you to wait a long time."
Zheng Gonggong had just heard the news, but he pretended not to know. He only looked at the vase. Xu Biqing's voice came to his ears. He seemed to be surprised. He turned around and saluted, "princess, you're a slave. The emperor has called on you to dress up."
With these words, Zheng's eyes still glanced at the vase from time to time.
It seems that he is aware of his thoughts. Xu Biqing follows people's eyes and sees that it is a small pink vase. He thinks about it quickly in his mind. He remembers that the vase was bought from Yunling smallpox for several thousand taels of silver.
The eunuch is really good at picking, but his face is full of laughter. He glanced at Zheng Gonggong and took down the pink vase a few steps ahead. "The prince didn't know where he bought it from a few days ago. He didn't look at it just a few days ago. If you like it, I'll ask someone to send it to you."
When he heard this, father Zheng said "ouch", but his face was full of joy, and he didn't refuse. He just repeatedly praised how beautiful the vase was. Finally, the conversation turned to Xu Biqing, "it's the princess who is considerate of us. In this way, the slave won't refuse. Here, thank you first!"
Having said that, when Xu Biqing saw that someone wanted to salute, she quickly stepped forward and gave a false hand. She turned around and pointed to a maid, took the pink vase down and wrapped it. Later, she sent it to Zheng Gonggong's other courtyard outside the palace.
This matter, Zheng Gonggong is satisfied, Xu Biqing is not distressed, this up and down to get through the relationship is still necessary, not to mention this is not their own money to buy.
They exchanged greetings with each other. When the girl who was sent to the kitchen to pick up the cakes and fruits came back, Xu Biqing and Zheng Gonggong went out of the prince's residence and entered the palace together.
After a while, he followed Zheng Gonggong into the palace from the southwest gate, and this direction just passed Jinquan palace.
Walking on the palace road paved with bluestone slabs, it's a long time to see the end. When passing by Jinquan palace and looking at the gold medal plaque engraved with "Jinquan Palace", Xu Biqing's mind is full of thoughts.
She also knew something about these things in the palace. She had asked ye Xiangbo before. Although she was not sure about the identity of Lady Hu Ji, she also had some speculation.
He walked forward in no hurry, and soon arrived at the place. Xu Biqing looked up and saw that it was not the emperor's bedroom, but he didn't feel confused.
Seeing people's expression, Zheng Gonggong stopped, turned to Xu Biqing and said respectfully, "the emperor has approved the meeting. Today, he is very tired. Seeing that there is snow outside, and the snow is not big, he said that he would come out to enjoy the snow. He has been waiting for a long time in the moon Pavilion."
Hearing the speech, Xu Biqing nodded slightly toward the people as if he was thoughtful. When he saw people raising their feet, he followed him along a path.
Through the path between the bamboo groves, it suddenly brightens up in front of you. The space in front of you is very spacious. Flowers and plants surround a pavilion along the lake.
Looking up, he saw the words "Luoyue Pavilion" written on the book, and Yun Shikun was sitting in the pavilion with his back to himself. Xu Biqing knew clearly, took a few deep breaths, and then followed Zheng Gonggong to the front.
"Emperor, here comes the princess."
With Zheng's voice, Yun Shikun turned over and looked at Xu Biqing with warm eyes. Looking at the person in front of her, he saw that she was wearing a lotus pink jacket with a moon white horse face skirt embroidered with flowers and birds. She was very elegant.
Facing Yun Shikun's gaze, Xu Bi blessed Fu's body, lowered her brow and bowed her head, and said respectfully, "please be my father."Although it was in accordance with the etiquette of the crown prince and the imperial concubine, Yun Shikun's heart was still moved by this. He was a little distracted and forgot to call for a moment.
Before the emperor called, Xu Biqing had to bend her knees slightly and keep silent for a long time. Then she raised her eyes to look at it. She was stunned.
Seeing this, Duke Zheng glanced at Xu Biqing, then leaned forward a little and called tentatively, "the emperor?"
Yun Shikun was pulled back to reality by this sound, and followed the sound to look at Zheng Gonggong.
Seeing that he looked at Xu Biqing, he suddenly realized that he hadn't called yet. He quickly stepped forward and helped her up in person. "Get up, I don't know why. I'm looking at you, but I'm a little lost."
I don't know why, but I know it in my heart.
Xu Biqing's heart is also like a mirror, knowing that Yun Shikun now believes that he is his daughter. Looking at this situation, of course, she is only happy. "On the way here, I heard Zheng Gonggong say that you have approved the discount for half a day. I think it's tired and I'm in a trance."
With that, he turned his face and winked at the maid behind him.
When the maidservant takes the food box up, Xu Biqing raises her hand to take it. After opening the food box, she takes out the dishes and puts them on the stone table in the pavilion.
As he laid the dishes, he said to the people with a smile, "my son has brought some cakes and fruits. They are all new patterns made by Shengtan building these days. They are very popular. You can't eat them in the palace."
It's rare that she is still thinking about herself all the time. Yun Shikun is very satisfied with her daughter. He thinks that he has given this love to Ye sang all the time, and he feels more and more indebted to Xu Biqing.
Thinking about it, Yun Shikun suddenly raised his hand to stop her action. He surprised the people in front of him, moved his throat slightly, and explained: "Hu Jisu likes to eat some sweet food. Put all these away. It's just that they are here today. I'll take you to meet her."
This word says not to conceal, the Zheng Gonggong eye of the side son turns, already had thought.
"Yes."
Xu Biqing was stunned, but she still answered with a smile. The smile at the corner of her mouth was a bit far fetched. The heavy hand in the air picked up the plate and put it back into the food box.
Seeing people's movements, Zheng Gonggong glanced at a maid in waiting. She glanced at the dishes on the table and helped Xu Biqing clean up carefully.
As Xu Biqing tidied up, she casually glanced at Yun Shikun and observed his face. When she saw that people's face was as usual, her tone was slight, and she opened her mouth tentatively. "I heard that lady Hu Ji had never met before, and there was no intersection. I heard that she didn't see outsiders. My son and I will go with you, will you..."
The other half of the words have not yet said, cloud Shikun will wave his hand, very sure that she thought more, "will not."
After settling Xu Biqing's heart, Yun Shikun murmured to himself, "as long as she sees you, she will like it."
Although the voice is small, but the words clearly spread to Xu Biqing's ears, the action on the hand is a meal in a moment, the heart is surprised, as if to understand a bit.
Aware that Yun Shikun looks towards her, Xu Biqing tries to hide her uneasiness and confusion, tries to maintain a faint smile on her face, and continues to clean up the dishes in no hurry.
Looking at the palace girl putting the last plate in, Xu Biqing puts the cover of the food box on, inserts the fixed bar into it, and glances at the maid. The maid owes her body to them and comes forward to lift the food box.
See the person packed up, cloud Shikun in a good mood, stood up and walked in front, strode out of the moon Pavilion, "let's go."
Xu Biqing gave a slight "um" sound, helped the table up, took a light and delicate step down the steps, and was looking down at the road under his feet. When he finished the step, he heard Yun Shikun's voice again.
"What do you think of the pavilion?
Luoyueting, she likes it here and often plays Xiao here. "
Yun Shikun put his hands behind him, turned over and looked up at the pavilion, with a gentle look in his eyes.
Xu Biqing laughs and agrees, praising how good the pavilion is and how Royal it is. However, she is thinking about the relationship between these people in her heart. It can be seen that Hu Ji is very important in Yun Shikun's heart.
Listening to Xu Biqing's praise, Yun Shikun is satisfied. He laughs a few times, looks at Xu Biqing, and then walks out along the path.
To his eyes, Xu Biqing's eyebrows and eyes are full of smile, and he follows Yun Shikun step by step. Out of the bamboo grove is a wide and long palace road.
Xu Biqing looks around. She remembers that she passed Jinquan palace when she just entered the palace. It's not far away. It's just in front of her. It's a long way to go.
