Chapter 4 Snail Girl
This time into the palace, Xie Liangyue and his daughter only brought Qiao Ji along.

The three of them were taken to the Imperial Study Room, Qiao Ji waited outside, after paying homage to the Emperor, Xie Liangyue went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Qiao Ji was worried about her foot injury, and followed to the gate of Ci'an Palace. Xie Liangyue glanced at him before going in, and asked him to wait here.

"You girl, I'm afraid you will forget about my old woman."

Seeing Xie Liangyue coming in, the Empress Dowager came to pick her up with a smile.

Xie Liangyue hurried up to meet her, "It's Yue'er's fault, I should have come to see you a long time ago, but it was inconvenient a while ago, which delayed the time."

The queen mother was supported by her and sat down on the collapsed bed. When she heard this, she became worried: "What's the matter? What happened?"

"It's okay, I just twisted it accidentally, my father was worried and let me stay at home for half a month, it's all right now, don't worry." Xie Liangyue comforted me with a smile.

"Oh, why are you so careless?" The queen mother felt distressed, "Where did you go? Why did you get hurt so badly? It will take half a month to heal."

Xie Liangyue took the teapot brought by the court lady and filled the cup, "I went to Hongyun Temple on the outskirts of the city to pray for my father a few days ago, but I didn't pay attention when I went down the steps."

The queen mother sighed: "I can't be so careless in the future."

Faced with the empress dowager's accusation, Xie Liangyue only felt warm. Her grandmother and the empress dowager were sisters and had a very good relationship, so the empress dowager always regarded herself as her own granddaughter.

"Yes, Yue'er can save me."

She put the teacup in front of the Empress Dowager, and said without changing her expression: "Speaking of which, when I went to Hongyun Temple that day, I happened to meet the Third Highness. Your Highness saw that the Emperor was too worried about state affairs recently, so he went to pray for blessings. Qu's blessing."

On the surface, what she said was praising the third prince for his filial piety, which sounded fine, but it was not the case when it came to the ears of the queen mother.

Want to relieve your worries, but don't know how to help out with advice, but go to the temple to pray for blessings?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense.

Although the queen mother usually loves this grandson very much, it is not advisable this time, and needs to be beaten.

Seeing the Queen Mother's expression, Xie Liangyue knew that her plan had come true. She silently changed the topic and chatted with the Queen Mother for an afternoon before leaving.

When she came out of Ci'an Palace, she saw Qiao Ji still waiting for her.

It was already dark at that time, and the lights in the palace had not yet been lit.Under the cover of night, the first thing Xie Liangyue saw was those sharp eyes, but the sharpness became gentle the moment he saw her.

"The county lord."

He walked towards this side with a low voice: "The prince has already returned, subordinate."

"You've been waiting here?" Xie Liangyue interrupted him.

Qiao Ji froze for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

"Why don't you go back with my father? When I come out, someone will take me back to the mansion." Xie Liangyue moved closer to him, staring into his eyes and asked.

The sudden approach made Qiao Ji feel a little overwhelmed, the cold plum fragrance from the other party broke into his nostrils, he always felt that his concentration was very good, but he was distracted by her many times.

His pupils trembled slightly, and he met Xie Liangyue's gaze, "Because, the princess told his subordinates to wait here."

Xie Liangyue smiled softly when she heard the words: "Idiot."

After finishing speaking, he passed him and walked away on his own.

Qiao Ji touched her red ears in embarrassment, then quickly walked a few steps to follow.

That night, the Empress Dowager went to Emperor Jian'an's bedroom and told him about Qi Yujin going to Hongyun Temple to pray for blessings.

"It's time for him to practice and practice." Emperor Jian'an said, "Tomorrow, I will decree that Jin'er and King Zhao will go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief."

Qi Yujin couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news.

His father had always loved him very much, but Qi Yujin was a little uncertain about whether he suddenly asked him to go to the south of the Yangtze River or provide disaster relief.

"Your Highness don't have to worry, it might be a good thing."

Qi Yujin's confidant eunuch Rong Fu saw him frowning, and said: "Because the emperor felt guilty for Concubine Rong, he felt sorry for His Highness. After the crown prince died of illness two years ago, the emperor never mentioned the matter of setting up the crown prince again. Your Highness is going to help the disaster."

He deliberately didn't finish his sentence, but just looked at Qi Yujin with deep eyes.

Qi Yujin squinted his eyes when he heard the words, propped his head up, knocked on the desk with his right hand a few times, and then hooked his fingers at Rongfu.

Rong Fu leaned over and heard him say: "Go and invite Elder Xingchi into the palace. Remember, you must not be discovered."
-
This year's summer is much hotter than usual, especially the last few nights have always been very stuffy, probably it's going to rain.

Xie Liangyue was lying on the window sill, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, thinking how she could persuade her father to take her to the south of the Yangtze River.

She sighed heavily, thinking that according to her father's temperament, she would definitely say that she was messing around.

"Hurry up and let it rain, it's suffocating."

Qiao Ji was lying on her roof with his arms pillowed on him. He just wanted to get closer to her, but he heard her complaining impatiently, and he felt a little wronged when he listened carefully.

It was the first time he had seen the Princess with such emotions, like a child.He couldn't help but curl his lips, then turned over and jumped out.

"Young He," Xie Liangyue yelled lazily, but when no one responded, she raised her voice again, "Young He!"

"I'm here, princess, what's the matter?"

Hearing the movement, Youhe immediately went into the inner room, seeing her princess lying on the window sill with a hopeless expression on her face, thinking that something had happened.

"I'm so bored, I want to eat cold brew."

"I'm scared to death," Youhe breathed a sigh of relief, "Your servant will let you make the kitchen."

Xie Liangyue nodded, "Hurry up."

After Youhe left, Xie Liangyue looked at the sky again, "Oh——"

"Snapped!"

Something fell from the roof and was just outside the window sill where she was lying on her stomach.

Xie Liangyue looked out, like a small burden.

"Where did it fall?"

Xie Liangyue leaned out of the window with all her strength, half of her body stretched out, she raised her head, only saw a piece of black clothes.

She understood instantly, and she was overjoyed, turned around, opened the door and walked out.

She picked up the small bundle and opened it to see that it was a wine gourd.

Xie Liangyue opened the lid, and a fresh fragrance came out.

"Yangmei Ice Brew!" She exclaimed in surprise, then looked at the roof with a smile, and said to the air, "Thank you!"

Qiao Ji was on the other side of the eaves. Hearing the joy from the voice below, his heart also relaxed.

He heard the girl enter the door with cheerful steps, and then he went back to the roof and lay down with his arms pillowed on his head.

A gust of wind blew, and the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the bright and bright moon again.

When Youhe came back, she saw that the princess no longer had the gloomy and gloomy expression just now, but exuded a cheerful aura all over her body.

She walked forward quickly, and when she put down the tray, she saw the wine gourd on the table, and said in surprise: "Princess, who sent this?"

Xie Liangyue touched her lips with the cup, raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Snail girl."

The word "girl" was bitten hard by her. The red bayberry ice brew made her feel better, and even the air was not as stuffy as before.

And Youhe looked at the smiling expression of her princess, and wondered in her heart:

Why didn't she know when a girl named Tianluo came to the palace?
