Chapter 52
At this moment, Princess Changle had already looked at Yun Qingping sarcastically, and said with a smile: "Everyone has gone away, so there is no need for the fourth princess to play—"

"Shut up!" A stern voice came from the main seat, the voice was full of violence and thunderous.

Princess Changle was startled, her face turned pale, her voice was unconsciously stuck in her throat, and she looked towards the place where she spoke.

I saw the Prince Regent dressed in white sitting coldly on the Grand Master's chair, his face was blue and purple, and there was a deep hostility in his phoenix eyes, and his murderous intent was undisguised.

The surroundings immediately fell silent, and they didn't understand how Princess Changle had offended the regent.

Even though Princess Changle is the arrogant princess of Donglin Kingdom, she doesn't take Qi Xia seriously at all, but when she touches the regent's phoenix eyes which are as cold as abyss, deep fear rises in her heart.

He couldn't help but took a step back behind Chu Ziyuan, not daring to say a word.

Lu Chenghuan lowered her eyes, she seemed to understand why the regent was angry, but she felt a little happy in her heart.But I understand his temper, so not saying a word at this time is the most correct choice!

The regent had already sternly asked the left and right: "Where is the singing and dancing? Why did it stop?"

Prime Minister Yao hurriedly said: "Princess Cheng Huan came just now, and the singing and dancing team was resting below, so let them come up."

The regent king's phoenix eyes sank, and he scolded: "Don't call me yet!"

Prime Minister Yao saw that the regent's expression was not in the right mood, so he agreed repeatedly, and rushed to urge him.

Seeing his figure running down the jade steps, the regent king couldn't help feeling annoyed. He slapped the table with his palm, and the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table was blown away.

It fell to the ground with a "snap", hot tea and debris were flying everywhere, and everyone turned pale.

"Haven't come up yet? So slow!" The Regent opened his thin lips lightly, his voice as cold as the cold lake of the lunar month.

Seeing these people's expressions of fear and sincerity, the ghost couldn't stand it any longer, and had infinite sympathy... Cautiously reminded: "Lord Wei just went down, my lord, he won't be back so soon."

After speaking, he reminded the guard next to him to pick up the pieces of the teacup with his eyes.

The regent snorted heavily, clenched his fists, and stared at Yujie's mouth.

Everyone didn't dare to vent their anger, and lowered their heads.

Chu Ziyuan looked thoughtful, his eyes uncertain.

For half an hour, the weird atmosphere on the Jiufeng Terrace had lasted for half an hour.

Everyone was peeping at the Prince Regent's face. Although the singing and dancing were in sight, no one dared to really look at the entry.

The regent's face became more and more gloomy and ugly, and finally, slowly, the hostility on his face faded, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that these people were all terrified, they didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps stepping on the jade steps, the long jade white dress fluttered in the wind, and the graceful figure of the woman came into everyone's eyes.

The regent king's phoenix eyes lit up, and all the gloom in them was swept away, his spirit was shocked, and he looked at Yun Ziluo.

Yun Ziluo came over and brushed at the Queen Mother first.

"What is Luo Er preparing?" The Queen Mother asked in confusion.

"Of course it's a birthday present for the queen mother's aunt." Yun Ziluo asked and answered as a matter of course.

Lu Chenghuan smiled mockingly, "I really don't know what kind of gift you have prepared in such a short period of time?"

Yun Ziluo bent her knees and said with a smile: "Auntie Empress Dowager, please move the phoenix to the side of the jade steps to watch."

The empress dowager frowned slightly, and everyone was afraid of the regent's extremely violent temper at the moment, so they dared not express any opinions.

The Regent said in a deep voice, "Go and have a look."

Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the regent did not lose his temper now.

So the empress dowager was surrounded by noble ladies, the emperor and the regent came to the side of the jade steps with the ministers, and Yun Ziluo pushed Yun Jianshu over.

Yun Jianshu asked in a low voice, "Luoer, what kind of medicine do you sell in your gourd?"

Yun Ziluo just smiled and said nothing.

When he reached the jade steps, Lu Chenghuan stretched his jade neck and looked down, but saw nothing special, and frowned.

Yun Ziluo nodded to Chu Hanlin, Chu Hanlin smiled slightly, and said something to the guards around him.As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of chirping sounds flying out from the palace in all directions, and a group of black shadows flew across the sky, flying towards Jiufengtai in groups.

"What is that?" The queen mother was taken aback and asked, raising her head.

"It's the Wu Que raised in the palace." The regent recognized it with sharp eyes.

Yun Qingping immediately found the topic: "Why are all the holy birds raised in the palace released?"

She looked at Yun Ziluo suspiciously, and sure enough, following her voice, many people looked at him suspiciously.

The regent's voice sank, and he looked at her coldly: "Fourth princess, does it have anything to do with you whether the holy bird in this palace is released?"

Yun Qingping was blocked by him, her face flushed red, but she didn't dare to answer.

He hoped that Chu Hanlin would say something for him, but when he turned his head, he found that Chu Hanlin was staring at these magpies seriously, as if he had never heard what he said, and couldn't help feeling cold.

Crowds of magpies circled in the air, and many guards had already surrounded the Empress Dowager, with swords drawn and swords drawn, extremely nervous.

But these magpies didn't fly over. After a few rounds in the low air, their sharp beaks turned down, and they went straight to the ground.The guards below had already evacuated in an orderly manner, and all the magpies jumped to the ground and bounced up.

More and more magpies descended, and the ground was immediately covered with black crows.

Someone suddenly said, "Look, is there a word underneath?"

The regent looked at it intently, shocked, and said, "It is indeed a word."

"It's the word 'shou'!" Chu Ziyuan also recognized it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others became excited, affirming again and again: "It is indeed a birthday character!"

"There is still a style of writing in this character for longevity! Look at the horizontal fold—"

"It's willow body, and the word 'shou' formed by these birds is actually willow body!" Someone exclaimed.

Everyone couldn't believe what they saw.

Before the Empress Dowager could react, Yun Ziluo knelt down on the ground, and said crisply: "A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix, and the holy magpie returns to the stage. They are here to pay homage to the Empress Dowager's aunt. The Empress Dowager's aunt will surely live a thousand years. Sun, the karma of all ages!"

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, and when she looked again, all the magpies had heard the slogan called by the bird watcher to return to the nest, and they took off one after another, hundreds of them fluttering their wings at the same time, the scene was very spectacular.

"Okay, okay, what a bird facing the phoenix! What a holy magpie returning to the stage! The Ai family has lived for so many years, and today I have seen a lot!"

The queen mother couldn't help but admired.

The regent king's phoenix eyes were full of approval, and he said in a deep voice, "Miss Yuner's gift is really ingenious and exquisite, and it is much more precious than our Jade Buddha in Nanchuan."

Lu Chenghuan gritted her teeth, she admitted she was wrong.

With the first-of-its-kind affirmation from the regent, all these courtiers sang praises on the spot, and they talked about the empress dowager with a smile all over their faces.

Even the regent said so, can she still feel uncomfortable?
Princess Changle had an exasperated expression on her face, and Yun Qingping stared down the jade steps with a sullen face, her face was extremely ugly.

"How did you do this?" The Queen Mother asked impatiently, "These birds obeyed the bird watcher's words, and the Ai family already knew, but how could they come up with the word longevity?"

Yun Ziluo smiled but did not answer.

Chu Hanlin has already explained: "Mother, Luo Er is too smart, don't Wumagpies love sweets? She specially ordered someone to dip willow branches in sugar water and write a big birthday character on the ground, and Wumagpie was released. When the birds smell the sweetness, they will all fly over to the word 'shou'."

After hearing Chu Hanlin's explanation, everyone who was shocked just now was even more shocked.

This method is not difficult, but they, not only them, there are so many predecessors, no one has thought of this method.

Ashamed, ashamed!
When everyone was looking down and searching for traces of the word "Shou" on the ground, a round and pleasant voice sounded from the bottom of the jade steps: "She is indeed a smart woman. If Cheng Huan loses this kind of scheming, she will be convinced."

The sudden sound made the surroundings fall into silence.

The Prince Regent's expression changed, and a gleam of joy overflowed from the corners of his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. His tall body stood up and called out, "Mother Concubine!"

Everyone was stunned.

The regent's mother and concubine?

Isn't that the Princess Jinghua whom the old prince of Nanchuan is marrying?
The queen mother quickly stood up and looked at Lu Chenghuan: "The princess is here too?"

Yun Ziluo stood aside, her heart was already churning.

The regent's mother and concubine?That was Helianyi's own mother. Although she spoke of herself in a calm and gentle voice just now, Yun Ziluo still sounded the alarm in her mind.Just the soft "Chenghuan" she said to her, it shows the intimacy between her and Lu Chenghuan.

From the next step of the jade steps, the soft sedan chair was lifted out silently, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, a plain white hand stretched out, and touched the back of the guard's hand, the middle-aged woman in a gorgeous purple-red palace attire bent down Sedan.

She is of medium build, with a high bun, a dazzling array of hairpins, and a melon-seeded face that is not beautiful, but very delicate, but it can be seen from the heavy makeup that she is no longer young.

"Yi'er!" When she got off the sedan chair, she raised her head to look in the direction of the regent, and raised her hand to call softly, her eyes full of smiles.

The regent king's phoenix eyes brightened brightly, and he could see that he was very surprised by his mother's sudden appearance.Even though he is dissatisfied with many of his mother's arrangements, he is still as attached to his mother as he was when he was a child.

The man leaned on the white jade railing with one hand, somersaulted, and gracefully jumped down from the Jiufeng Terrace.

"Mother Concubine, why are you here?" The regent's thin lips curved in a big arc, and he stepped in front of Princess Jinghua in a few steps.

Princess Jinghua smiled and stroked his head.

The regent felt very uncomfortable. The mother and concubine hadn't treated him so tenderly and caringly for many years, but the joy in her heart gradually increased.

"Mother Concubine." Lu Chenghuan ran down the steps and took Princess Jinghua's arm with a smile on his face.

After Princess Jinghua walked up the jade steps, her eyes naturally fell on Yun Ziluo, and her ruddy and fat-smeared thin lips curved slightly.

"Great gift! What a great gift! A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix, and the holy magpie returns to the stage. Not only is the queen mother seeing it for the first time, but this concubine has never seen it with her own eyes. This gift is really heavy! Cheng Huan, don't you admit defeat?"

Princess Jinghua looked at Lu Chenghuan with a smile.

Lu Chenghuan snorted, and had to accept Yun Ziluo's heart in his heart.

But admit defeat, she would not say it anyway, and turned her head to the side.

Princess Jinghua held the hot tea brought by the Prince Regent, opened the lid of the tea and took a sip, raised her long-lashed phoenix eyes, and looked at Yun Ziluo's expression and reaction.

On the other hand, Yun Ziluo smiled indifferently, and saluted with a wave of her sleeves: "My concubine loves you." She was generous and courteous, and no matter how picky she was, she couldn't find a single fault.

The regent's biological mother is enough for him to respect her so much, and she is worthy of such a gift.

When the regent saw this scene, he secretly rejoiced for no reason.The smile unconsciously reached his eyes.

Princess Jinghua glanced at him, and took his expression into her eyes without any omission, and was startled, a little dazed.

Yi'er, it's been a long time since he was so happy from the bottom of his heart?
Of course, except for her...

"Get up." Princess Jinghua's voice was calm, and she raised her sleeves.

Feeling that his mother's attitude when he called Yun Ziluo up was not enthusiastic, the regent frowned dissatisfiedly, and glanced at Princess Jinghua.

The alarm bell in Princess Jinghua's heart rang again.

This woman, as Cheng Huan said, has completely bound Yi'er's heart.

Originally, she didn't believe it and insisted on coming to Nanchuan to lie down in person. Unexpectedly, what she saw on the first day was just like this.

She felt that her son had changed, and it had changed a lot, not as gloomy as when she came here before.

This is a good thing, but why can't she be happy?

Yun Ziluo calmly sat back in her seat.

Princess Jinghua chatted with the Queen Mother.

"How long is the princess planning to stay in Yuanjing this time?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

"It depends." Princess Jinghua said in a low voice, "In a while, it will be the birthday of the emperor's brother. I want to return to Nanchuan after paying homage to the emperor's brother."

The Empress Dowager's eyes moved, she lowered her eyes for a moment, and when she raised her head again, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Yes, the late emperor left too early, and left the Ai family alone."

Princess Jinghua smiled and said, "Doesn't the Queen Mother still have a good son?"

The Queen Mother immediately said, "That's not as good as your son."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Regent.

Princess Jinghua snorted coldly, with a sneering smile on the corner of her mouth: "Naturally, otherwise, how could I sit here and talk to you, Queen Mother?"

The queen mother was silent and did not make a sound.

Yun Ziluo has good ears and can hear clearly, she couldn't help being surprised.

I heard the queen mother say "Princess" just now, thought she slipped the tongue, but I didn't expect that Princess Jinghua turned out to be Qi Xia's princess, the former emperor's younger sister, that is Chu Hanlin Chu Ziyuan's real aunt?
So, He Lianyi and Chu Hanlin and Chu Ziyuan are also cousins?

Three black lines slid across Yun Ziluo's forehead.

The king regent monopolizes Qi Xia's regime, making the emperor useless, and fighting against Chu Hanlin and Chu Ziyuan, isn't this just foreign relatives meddling in politics?
As for the last sentence that Princess Jinghua said, if her son is not good, she can't sit here and chat with the queen mother. Thinking that the regent is Nanchuan who came to Qixia to be the proton, she thought that the relationship between the two parties must have been unsatisfactory. good.

There was no big event at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the royal banquet was eaten at noon, and everyone went back home.

In front of the gate of Yunfu, a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard led a little girl and stood at the gate of Yunfu. Looking around, he saw a carriage approaching and quickly avoided it.

Yun Ziluo got out of the carriage, and Zhou Rui's family came out quickly, and was shocked to see Yun Jianshu and the eldest lady coming back.

"Ma'am..." Zhou Rui's family retreated to the side of the road and called timidly.

Mrs. Zhou obviously saw the man and woman in front of the door, with a look of extreme fear on her face, she winked at her, and pushed Yun Jianshu straight into the mansion.

Yun Ziluo kept an eye out and didn't go back to the Liyuan, but quietly went to the Da Furen's courtyard.

"Why are they here?" Zhou asked with a gloomy face.

Zhou Rui's family shook their heads, and their voice was bitter: "The servants sent people to stop them, and were about to take them to another village for disposal, but the master came back unexpectedly."

"Okay, call in." Zhou gritted his teeth.

In the front hall of Yunfu, the little girl with double braids huddled on the pear wood chair and did not dare to move, but her curious eyes kept wandering around the hall. No matter what she saw, there was a trace of surprise in her eyes. .

Zhou Rui's family got straight to the point and said, "Didn't you give me money last time?"

The middle-aged man stood up, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but not in his eyes: "Mrs. Yun, this time we are here to borrow your residence for a while."

Zhou's eyes glanced at the little girl, and the little girl who secretly watched her dress immediately lowered her head timidly.

"You—" Zhou's brows burst into anger.

The middle-aged man quickly said: "Mrs. Yun, we have nothing to do. We owed debts to relatives and were kicked out. We searched everywhere. Now it's useless to just pay back the money. They threatened to break Xiao Haiyan's legs. You see Look, Xiao Haiyan is 13 years old this year, and she hasn't read much with us. The country people don't understand anything when they come to the city, and she still needs to eat and drink..."

Mrs. Zhou was already so angry that they were persecuting her, Zhou Rui's family saw that things were not going well, so they quietly pulled down her sleeves and winked.

Mrs. Zhou made up her mind, and said with a fake smile: "In this case, let's stay here. But it's not for nothing, you have to contribute to the Yun family. Come and make arrangements."

After talking about the conversation with Zhou Rui's family, he left in a hurry.

In the back room, Mrs. Zhou immediately turned his face and scolded: "Damn Wu Da, he went so far! Could it be that he wants to make a fuss about what happened back then?"

Zhou Rui's family also said viciously: "If you don't do it, you will do it to Wu Da! Anyway, they are all foreigners, so it's easy to deal with!"

Mrs. Zhou nodded, and her eyes flashed fiercely: "Let's arrange this matter carefully, but he forced me!"

Yun Ziluo turned pale with shock after hearing this.

This little girl seems to have something to do with Zhou... Zhou is so eager to shut up, how can she do what she wants?

That night, she went to Yun Jianshu, and asked the new maid in the mansion, the girl named Haiyan, to leave.

After the Zhou family found out, they panicked and consulted with Zhou Rui's family, but unfortunately, their hands could no longer reach into the pear garden.

A few days after the Empress Dowager's birthday, the news of the marriage between Princess Changle and Chu Ziyuan suddenly came from the palace. Although Yun Ziluo was surprised, it made sense.

Ziyuan, oh Ziyuan, from now on I will be a passerby.

On the second day, Chu Ziyuan sent Princess Changle back to Donglin. The night before yesterday, a grand engagement banquet was held in the palace, and Yun Ziluo also went.

During the dinner, Lu Chenghuan changed from his usual arrogant and cold attitude, and brought a cup of tea to respect her: "Yun Ziluo, I'm sorry about the past, my concubine asked me to toast you with this cup of tea."

Yun Ziluo didn't know what kind of drama she was playing, and looked at Princess Jinghua, who smiled slightly and looked at him with a gentle face.

"Okay." As soon as Yun Ziluo toasted, Lu Chenghuan screamed "Ah", and poured all the tea in his hand at her.

Yun Ziluo dodged to avoid the boiling hot tea, but her skirt was still wet unavoidably.

"Cheng Huan, you are too frizzy!" Princess Jing Hua came over and quickly apologized for Lu Cheng Huan, and said, "Miss Yun, follow me to the back to change a dress."

Yun Ziluo stood up and followed her with a smile.

She wanted to see what tricks Princess Jinghua was playing.

After she came out, her expression was as usual, but she secretly asked someone to ask the regent to wait for her in the side palace.

"Luo'er, what's the matter?" The regent ordered someone to guard the door, walking back and forth in the corridor with his hands behind his back, Yun Ziluo walked over quickly.

"I just want you to do one thing for me!" Yun Ziluo's face was very unkind.

"I'm willing to do anything." The regent held her hand in a low voice, "as long as you don't give me a cold face."

Yun Ziluo's heart trembled slightly, her dissatisfaction with him had long since dissipated.Immediately took his hand and entered the hall, pointed to his skirt and asked, "See what's wrong."

The lake blue embroidered light yellow floral three-layer gauze skirt was prepared by Princess Jinghua.After suffering from Princess Changle in the paddock, she is now extremely wary of any unfamiliar clothes.

The regent took a sniff, his face changed greatly, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he said word by word: "Misty?"

"What poison?"

The regent glanced at her, and said: "The toxicity of Miluan San is very shallow. Only when you smell it continuously for more than half an hour will it suddenly attack. People's brains will be out of control and they will do some indecent things. This bottle The medicine has long been banned in Nanchuan."

"Prohibited drugs?"

"Well. Although it is a banned drug, many of them have been passed on. In order to make it easier to distinguish, I added special pollen to each bottle of Miluansan, and the smell of each bottle is different. This bottle, is It's in the ghost's hands."

"Ghost? Didn't he go back to Nanchuan?" Yun Ziluo raised an eyebrow.

The Regent was silent.
