Banhua was invited to the front hall by Wang De. She saw several maids standing in the front hall and raised her eyebrows slightly. Rong Xia usually didn't like serving maids in the front hall, so why were there so many maids here today?

"Empress, please sit over here." Wang De made a gesture of invitation and motioned for Banhua to sit behind the screen.

"Your Majesty asked me to listen to you again?" Banhua lifted up her skirt, walked up the steps and sat down around the screen, "Tell me, is there someone who wants to inform your Majesty?"

Wang Depei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is really good at predicting things. There is indeed someone who specifically asked to see Your Majesty. This person has some contacts with Your Majesty. Your Majesty thought about it and couldn't refute this person's face, so he asked your servant to invite Your Majesty. Come."

"It seems that he is still the same person," Banhua chuckled lightly, with neither joy nor anger in his laughter.

Wang De secretly looked at the queen's expression and found that there was not much emotion on her face, as if this old man could not affect her emotions. He lowered his head and stepped aside. The Queen's thoughts were indeed elusive sometimes.

Just as he was thinking about it, footsteps came from outside. Wang De saluted Banhua, bowed and retreated outside the screen.

After Wang De left, the smile on Banhua's face disappeared little by little, and suddenly she smiled with relief, and changed into a more comfortable position and sat on the chair.

"Your Highness, Princess," Wang De stepped forward and saluted Princess Anle, "Please sit down for a moment. Your Majesty will be here shortly."

Princess Anle sneered: "You are a good dog."

Wang De smiled and saluted, and there was nothing wrong with the etiquette. Princess Anle's expression changed slightly. She was worried that this was Rong Xia's territory and did not dare to say too many excessive words. But as a former princess, she hated Wang De. He was obviously the chief **** beside his father, but now he was wagging his tail and serving in front of the new emperor, regardless of the loyalty between master and servant.

Her eyelids drooped slightly, and she saw that the hand Wang De was holding in front of her belly was missing three fingers, and the anger in her heart disappeared a lot. It is said that these three fingers were injured by his second brother when he was protecting his father. Thinking of what his second brother had done, the anger on Anle's face disappeared and he rubbed his forehead, "I shouldn't blame you."

The smile on Wang De's face remained unchanged: "Thank you, Princess, for your generosity."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome," Anle smiled bitterly, "I am now..."

She is just a princess of the former dynasty, but the other party is the chief eunuch. If he wants to make things difficult for her, she can only accept it. The name of this princess seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is just a good-looking name.

Wang Dechao Anle handed over his hand and said: "Your Highness, please think about it. You and the empress are on good terms. As long as the empress is here, who would dare to offend you?"

This was Wang De's intention to remind Princess Anle because of the past master-servant relationship. If the other party couldn't understand it, he would have nothing to say. Princess Anle was pampered since she was a child, and she never encountered anything unpleasant. The only concubine who caused her trouble ended up with her family ruined, and then she lived a luxurious and romantic life. People who have been living smoothly for too long sometimes cannot see the reality clearly. I hope this princess who has some friendship with the empress will not be so stupid.

Princess Anle smiled bitterly and was about to say a few words when the maids at the entrance of the palace knelt down one after another. Her heart skipped a beat, was Rong Xia here?

Standing up from the chair uncomfortably, she looked at the door. After waiting for a few breaths, Rong Xia finally walked in. The other party was wearing a black brocade robe with light cloud patterns embroidered on it, making him look elegant and noble.

But this seemingly gentle man killed hundreds of people in one day. These people were all people who had collaborated with the second brother and stained the blood of the people on their hands. The military generals praised him, saying that he was decisive in killing and was a wise king. Scholars admired him and said that he was kind-hearted and treated talented people well. He was a rare benevolent king.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that he was originally just a prince in the Jiang Dynasty. Even when there was a prince in the Jiang Dynasty, he took on the dragon robe and established a dynasty of the heart, and even named this dynasty win.

Win, victory.

He is obviously a man full of ambition and calculation, why do these people praise him like crazy?

Anle obviously felt a lot of unwillingness in her heart, but when facing Rong Xia, she did not dare to show any emotion on her face. She bowed politely: "I have met Your Majesty."

"Princess, there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down." Rong Xia walked up to the top and sat down. "I wonder why Your Highness is here today?"

"The sinful woman would like to ask your Majesty a few questions," Anle hesitated for a moment, "As long as you are willing to tell the truth, the sinful woman is willing to tell you the secret about the Queen."

"Oh?" A very complicated smile appeared on Rong Xia's face, "Princess, may I ask."

"Second...Did King Li really let someone poison his father?"

"Yes." Rong Xia nodded, "King Li did let someone drug Emperor Yunqing."

Anle's face instantly turned pale, and tears flowed down her cheeks. She wiped away the tears with the back of her hand, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for informing me."

"Is there anything else you would like to ask, Your Highness?" Rong Xia looked sideways at the screen behind her, as if admiring the picture of a cat playing with peonies on the screen.

"Does your majesty have the blood of the Jiang family?"

"Princess, have you forgotten? Although my grandmother was expelled from the royal family, she is also a bloodline of the Jiang family. Calculating it this way, it is natural." Rong Xia raised an eyebrow and looked at Anle, "Why would Your Highness ask such a question? Question?"

"What I want to ask is..." An Le looked at Rong Xia calmly, "Do you have the blood of your father?"

There was dead silence in the palace.

"Hi," Rong Xia sneered, "Your Highness, you must not take the rumors of those ignorant people outside seriously. Although I have some blood of the Jiang family, I am indeed a descendant of the Rong family. Your Highness should not say such misleading words in the future, lest ignorant people take them seriously."

The last bit of blood on Anle's face dissipated, and she lost all vitality in an instant. It took a long time to come back to her senses, "I... know."

It turns out that Rong Xia is really not from the Jiang family. She can't even lie to herself. Their Jiang family dynasty is really over. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief to wipe away the last traces of tears, "Your Majesty, if you have any questions, just ask."

"I don't have anything to ask," Rong Xia smiled, "My Queen is the most interesting book in the world. I read it every day and every time, and never get tired of it. If she really has any secrets, I am here to dig a little bit, and this can be regarded as a little fun between husband and wife. Now that your highness’s doubts have been resolved, please come back.”

"A few years ago, I teased her, saying that she liked handsome men so much that she had to marry you, because there was no better man than you in the whole capital." Anle looked a little confused, not knowing what was going on. I miss the good times with Banhua in the past, and I still miss myself when I was favored by all the stars. "At that time, Huahua also said that the person you like must be a fairy concubine, and she will not join in the fun."

Who would have thought that a joke she made back then would actually come true.

No one fell in love with the most beautiful man in the capital, but he wanted to marry Banhua, who was not well-known.

"Maybe this is fate," the smile on Rong Xia's face became heavier, "God has destined me to marry Huahua, and I am very grateful." He raised his hand, "Wang De, send Princess Anle back. ”

"Yes." Wang De breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, His Highness didn't say anything he shouldn't have said. Otherwise, the empress behind the screen would have been very sad if she heard it.

"You love her so much," Princess Anle stood up, her tone became a little weird, "Can you bear it, that she once had another man in her heart?"

Rong Xia's eyelids trembled slightly: "Your Highness, the Queen and I have a deep love for each other. What is your intention in arranging it like this?"

"A deep love between husband and wife?" Princess Anle said in a mocking tone, "It's just the deep love you think you have. Have you seen her third fiancé? Don't you think he looks like someone?"

Princess Anle still hated Rong Xia. She wished that he would live a miserable life and spend her whole life asking for nothing, so that she could suppress the hatred in her heart.

"Huahua doesn't love you at all. She was willing to get engaged to Xie Qilin because she fell in love with him. Otherwise, with the status of the Xie family, how could she be engaged to the legitimate daughter of the Ban family?" Anle looked at Rong mockingly. Xia, "Even if you are the most beautiful man in the capital, it doesn't matter if you are stunningly talented or stunningly beautiful. The one who makes Huahua attracted is not you!"

"Nonsense!" Wang De scolded Princess Anle, "How can I allow you to arrange the relationship between the empress and Your Majesty? Why don't you get out of here quickly!"

"When Huahua learned that Xie Qilin liked poetry, she used some means to find a hard-to-find rare copy and gave it to Xie Qilin." Princess Anle raised her chin, "I was her best confidant at the time. , how could she not know which man she was attracted to?"

"Rong Xia, even if you get the world of my Jiang family, what does it matter? The only thing Huahua likes about you is your face. When you are no longer young, she will naturally be able to appreciate other men. You will never be able to get her sincerity in your life!"

"Do you think I will believe your instigation?" Rong Xia looked at Princess Anle calmly, "If you were Huahua's friend, how could you say these things in front of me? Have you ever thought about it, What consequences will these words bring to Huahua?"

"A person like you is not worthy of being Huahua's friend, nor is he worthy of calling her by her name," Rong Xia stood up and said in a cold voice, "If I hear you calling the Queen by her name again in the future, I will punish you for treating the royal family The crime of disrespect."

Anle was a little frightened by Rong Xia's eyes, and her mind went blank. When she left the Big Moon Palace, she realized that the back of her palms was cold.

"Your Highness," Wang De stopped and bowed, "please walk slowly."

Princess Anle looked at him and said, "Can I go see Empress Hua?"

"Do you want to see the queen?"

Anle noticed that Wang De's expression was a little strange.

"Yes."

"Your Highness, it's really unfortunate. Today, the Empress summoned Mr. Yang, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you." Wang De made a gesture of invitation, "Your Highness, please come again next time."

"Ms. Yang?" Princess Anle saw a woman walking towards her in the distance. The woman was timid, her eyes were wandering, and she looked very petty. "Is that her?"

"Exactly."

"I know." Princess Anle walked out of the Great Moon Palace without saying anything else. Wang De looked at her back until she could no longer see her, then turned back.

Some feelings cannot be withheld.

The palace was very quiet, Rong Xia sat in front of the imperial desk and did not move. Banhua walked out from behind the screen, saw a memorial in his hand, and said, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Rong Xia put down the memorial and looked up at Banhua. The expression on her face was very natural, without fear or anger, and she didn't even feel sad after being arranged by her friends. She was still the free and easy Huahua. He stood up and took her into his arms, "Are you...really just interested in my appearance?"

"Why do you think so?" Banhua patted his head comfortingly, "I fancy you a lot, otherwise why would I marry you."

"Really?"

"Of course," Banhua leaned her head on his chest and blinked, "I never lie to people."

Rong Xia laughed out loud, let go of Banhua, and stared into her eyes: "Huahua, don't lie to me. There are very few people I care about in my life. The only person I care about is you. You If you lie to me, it's the same as tearing out your heart."

Banhua put her hand on his chest, feeling the beating of his heart, "I will let it stay in there."

She lowered her head, and Rong Xia couldn't see her eyes.

"Mother, Yang is here." Ruyi's voice spoke cautiously outside the palace.

"I know," Banhua held Rong Xia's chin, stood up on tiptoes and kissed him gently on the lips, "Don't think too much, I have never fallen in love with another man before."

Rong Xia took her in his arms and kissed her heavily on the lips.

"I believe you."

After Banhua left, Rong Xia sat in front of the royal case and did not move for a long time. Huahua said that she had never fallen in love with another man before, and he believed it.

Now...does she love him?

"Bang!"

Wang De saw the tea cup on the imperial desk fell to the ground, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Rong Xia said expressionlessly, "let someone come in and clean it up."

"Yes."

When Yang was still the daughter-in-law of the Rong family, she often had the opportunity to enter the palace, even the Dayue Palace. But at that time, although the Da Yue Palace was gorgeous, it was filled with men's belongings. However, when she came this time, she found that the Great Moon Palace was not only as gorgeous as before, but also had many things that only women liked.

In this palace, traces of women can be seen everywhere.

"The Queen has arrived."

She knelt down in a hurry to salute, not even daring to raise her head. A gorgeous long dress passed by her, and she followed the direction of the skirt and changed her kneeling posture.

"Get up."

The Queen's voice is very nice and she is also very young. When she was at the Rong family, she remembered that Rong Erlang was an extremely cold child. She didn't know what kind of strange woman Queen Ban was to make him so obsessed with her. Although she had the opportunity to enter the palace last time to participate in the Queen's Ceremony, she was so far away from the Queen that she could only vaguely see her outline.

She stood up carefully. After seeing the appearance of Queen Ban, she couldn't help but take a breath. She was such a beautiful figure, just like the enchanting female temptress in the storyteller's mouth. If a man fell into her hands, , and there is nowhere to escape.

Rong Erlang... actually likes such a woman?

When she first got married to the eldest son of the Rong family, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Lin, had not yet passed away. She still remembered that she was a very fresh and elegant talented woman. Even Miss Shi, who became famous later, was probably a bit inferior. Otherwise, her father-in-law would not have been so obsessed with her that he would have resisted all pressure to marry her.

Queen Ban and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Lin, have no resemblance at all. It is hard to imagine that the extraordinary-looking Rong Erlang would be obsessed with such a woman who is completely opposite to Mrs. Lin. She didn't dare to look any further. After Banhua called out, she stood bowed and bowed, her hands so cramped that she didn't know where to put them.

"I heard from Mrs. Zhao, do you want to see me?" Banhua saw that Yang was not very courageous. It was hard to imagine that such a woman would abort her child and marry someone else when her husband was filial.

"The sinful woman Yang is here to apologize to the empress." Yang knelt down again. "The sinful woman knows that her sins are serious and she dare not ask for forgiveness from your majesty and the empress. The sinful woman is willing to die to apologize, but please Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please do not pursue others."

"Get up and speak," Banhua knocked on the table, "Why do I want your life? Your Majesty has no intention of pursuing the past matters. I have no grudge against you, and I will not go out of my way to make things difficult for you. You."

"Your Majesty..." Yang looked at Banhua gratefully, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

How could a woman with such a simple mind be so cruel as to abort her child?

"I see that you are an honest and responsible person, how could you abort the child in the first place?"

"Madam, that child... was not aborted by the sinful woman," Yang said with red eyes, "After the sinful woman married Rong Dalang, he didn't like the sinful woman, and even the mother-in-law didn't like her very much. Me. Later, my mother-in-law passed away, and the elder man was very sad, and we were unable to have a child. Later, two years after my father-in-law died of illness, the sinful woman finally had a child in her belly, how could she not be happy?"

Ms. Yang talked about how she lost her child, and also said that she was forced to get married. When she talked about being forced to marry, her tone was numb and calm, without any anger or joy.

Ban Hua more or less made up some things in his head, such as Mrs. Lin being dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, and Rong Dalang being dissatisfied that his wife was not charming enough. After Rong Dalang died of illness, Yang had a miscarriage, and she remarried in a hurry. In the eyes of others, she aborted the child.

It can be heard from Yang's words that her mother-in-law Lin, whom she has never met, is a very difficult person to get along with. She suddenly thought that after being on the throne for so long, Rong Xia had never given any honorary title to Lin except for the title of Madam of the First Grade Dingguo in accordance with the rules. The mother-son relationship between him and Lin did not seem to be too great. Strong.

Compared with the Lin family, Rong Xia was very careful when he pursued his late father. Not only did he superimpose several titles, but he also promoted him to the title of Super Grade Duke and Crown Prince. If it was not unreasonable, Rong Xia might have pursued him. Make him emperor.

"Ms. Lin...my mother-in-law, how are you treating your majesty?" Banhua saw Yang's hesitant look and said, "You have to tell me the truth. If I find you lying, I will definitely tell you." I’ll punish you.”

"The sinful woman dare not," Ms. Yang said hurriedly, "My mother-in-law is a woman who cares about flowers and cherishes the moon. She has a good relationship with my father-in-law. When taking care of His Majesty, it is inevitable...it is inevitable that he will be a little neglected. Your Majesty's daily life Most of my homework is in charge of my father-in-law, and the rest is taken care of by the maids and servants. My mother-in-law has a cold temperament and does not care about these mundane affairs. But she has extremely high demands on your Majesty and her late husband, and she always demands them according to the gentlemanly demeanor in the books. "

Ms. Yang is a soft-tempered, submissive woman. Even if she feels that her mother-in-law, Ms. Lin, is a bit strange, she doesn't dare to say it out loud, or even dare to get too close to her brother-in-law, for fear that her mother-in-law will blame her for it.

Later, Lin died of illness, but she did not feel sad, but happy.

She knew it was wrong to have such thoughts, but she couldn't control it.

"I understand," Banhua waved his hand, "Please step back."

"Thank you, Madam, I will retire as a sinner."

Banhua asked storytellers, dancers, etc. to relieve her boredom, but she couldn't get interested. She waved them away and said, "Come on, call Commander Du."

Du Jiu has always been with Rong Xia. The person who knows best what kind of life Rong Xia lived as a child should be Du Jiu.

Du Jiu heard that the Empress was looking for him. Later, the Empress was bored and wanted to leave the palace. After arriving in the palace, he found that the empress looked a little unhappy. He stepped forward and saluted, "Empress, who in the palace has made you unhappy? ?"

"I feel a little unhappy," Banhua offered him a seat, "Tell me about your master's childhood and help me relieve my boredom."

"I'm worried that after telling you about my master's childhood, you will be even more bored," Du Jiu said honestly, "my master's life when he was a child was very boring and not as, um... colorful as your empress."

The legitimate daughter of the Ban family has been a girl that few people dared to mess with since she was a child. She has never played with or seen anything. It's not like his master, who has to memorize and practice calligraphy at a young age, and when he is older, he has to ride horses, shoot arrows, and learn the legacy of a gentleman. If he doesn't do anything well, the wife will look at the master with a disappointed face and cry for a few times. Not even the game is over.

"How boring, tell me," Banhua put her chin in one hand, "I am with your master, and I rarely hear him mention things from his childhood. How can I not be curious."

"After the master was three years old, he got up at midnight, read and practiced calligraphy for an hour, and then went to pay his respects to his wife..."

"At Mao hour?" Ban Hua looked at Du Jiu in surprise, "A three-year-old child gets up at Mao hour. Isn't this torturing a child?"

Du Jiuqian smiled and said: "This is the rule set by Madam."

"She asked the child to get up at nine o'clock, but she accepted the child's courtesy an hour later. Isn't this treating herself leniently and treating others harshly?" Banhua rolled his eyes, "I'm sorry for your master, you are so young. Days like this. When I was three years old, I would not get up until dawn."

The smile on Du Jiu's face can't stand anymore. How should he answer this?

One is the master's mother, and the other is the master's most beloved woman. Whatever he says is seeking death.

"Then tell me again, what interesting things happened to your master when he was a child, what did he want to do but didn't do, and what did he be embarrassed to do when he grew up?"

Du Jiu shook his head: "Master has been very self-disciplined since he was a child and has no special hobbies."

"There is an interesting story. When the master was eleven or twelve years old, he met a little girl in the palace and was dragged by the little girl to play on the ice..." Du Jiu paused, "But this matter was discussed by Mrs. After finding out, the master was punished."

"Who punished me?"

"Mrs."

"What's the penalty?"

"Twenty whips, copy the family rules ten times." Du Jiu still remembers how his master was beaten until blood oozed from his back. Less than a year after that incident, my wife died of illness. Since then, he has never seen his master do anything like a child.

It was so cold in winter, and the master lay on the bed without crying or fussing when the imperial doctor gave him medicine. However, the Marquis had a quarrel with his wife because of this.

When Banhua heard this, her heart felt as if she had been soaked in vinegar or pricked by a needle, sore and painful. She was silent for a long time, looked out the window and said, "This year's heavy snow will be here soon."

Du Jiu looked at Banhua in confusion and nodded stupidly: "It should be so."

That night, it started to snow in the capital.

Banhua, wearing a fox fur, stood on the steps, looking at the snowy world. She turned to one of the guards and said, "Go and tell the Crown Prince that I want to play ice-skating and ask him to find a good place. , I will go find him tomorrow."

"Yes."

Banhua smiled, turned around and walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, Rong Xia listened to several ministers discussing the talented young people in the capital.

"Xie Qilin, the second son of Uncle Yuan Zhongping, is also somewhat talented, but it's a pity that he hurt his eyes..."

"I don't use people with bad morals."

Zhou Bing'an was stunned for a moment, then said: "What your Majesty said is true, but I missed it."
