Ye Lizhu also wanted to find Jiang Ranyi, and the two of them went to Zhaoyang Palace together. (Glock Party novel)

Ye Fu'an said: "Zhuzhu, dad has to leave first. You should be careful in the palace."

Ye Lizhu nodded.

After finding Jiang Ranyi, the two went to Zhaoyang Palace. After the palace maid went in to report, Ye Lizhu went in with Jiang Ranyi.

The queen has not come out yet, and the high-ranking concubines such as the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine have not come yet. Most of the people who have come are young ladies and madams from aristocratic families and low-ranking concubines.

As soon as Ye Lizhu and Jiang Ranyi entered, Mrs. Dun Guogong called Jiang Ranyi to sit over her.

Jiang Ranyi and Ye Lizhu sat next to Madam Dun Guo.

Mrs. Dun Guogong looked at Jiang Ranyi.

Jiang Ranyi was dressed plainly, and her clothes were very low-key. Like Ye Lizhu, both of them had an exquisite gold lock hanging in front of them. The gold lock was inlaid with various rare gems. The gold lock was made extremely delicate, and it only looked elegant and luxurious. , instead of looking bulky and tacky, Jiang Ranyi also wore a green bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet was very wet, shiny and beautiful. It was thought to be worth a lot of money, at least a thousand taels of silver.

Mrs. Dun Guogong could see that Jiang Ranyi was very favored at home, and if she married into the Tian family in the future, she would definitely bring a lot of dowry.

Tian Qiao and Wu Ying have a better relationship. Because Wu Ying was kicked out of the Ye family, Tian Qiao doesn't like Ye Lizhu very much. Tian Qiao tried her best to curry favor with Jiang Ranyi, who had arranged a marriage with the Tian family. Mrs. Dun Guogong said that the Jiang family is rich. When Jiang Ranyi comes in, the money Jiang Ranyi brings will belong to the Tian family. If Tian Qiaoruo and Jiang Ranyi have a good relationship, maybe Jiang Ranyi can share some with her. thing.

Tian Qiao smiled and said: "The gemstone hairpin on Sister Jiang's head is so beautiful. It should be difficult to get such a big pearl, right?"

Jiang Ranyi also heard what Ye Lizhu and Jun said about the Tian family. She didn't have a good impression of the Tian family. No matter how well Tian Qiao and Mrs. Dun Guo pretended to be, Jiang Ranyi remained unmoved.

She touched her hairpin and said calmly: "It's not that rare. A few days ago, my cousin gave me a box of malachite. I selected some and had the craftsmen make them into jewelry, and I shared them with my cousin."

Tian Qiao said with a smile: "Sister Jiang has been living with Miss Ye? I heard that Miss Ye has always needed someone to take care of her, which is quite troublesome. If Sister Jiang doesn't dislike it, it would be great to come and live in our house."

Ye Lizhu said: "The Ye family are relatives of the Jiang family. The Jiang family also has a house in the capital. I went to live at your house for no reason. Do you want to ruin my cousin's reputation?"

Ye Lizhu never liked to talk. When Tian Qiao saw Ye Lizhu just sitting silently aside, he thought she was silent. When she was suddenly spoken to, Tian Qiao's face turned red.

Jiang Ranyi is not married yet, so she really can't live in her fiancé's house. Mrs. Dun Guogong was reluctant to reprimand her daughter and hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Qiao'er is ignorant, Miss Ye, Sister Ran, you two, don't argue with her."

Tian Qiao held the handkerchief and was sulking, but in her heart she hated Ye Lizhu and Jiang Ranyi.

The two sisters paid little attention to the Tian family except for polite greetings.

Mrs. Dun Guoguo felt uneasy, secretly wondering if Jiang Ranyi knew that Tian Zhuo had been doing something stupid again recently.

The noble concubine, the virtuous concubine and others soon arrived. After the queen came out, she saluted and greeted her as usual.

The etiquette was very complicated. A group of people were greeting each other. Jiang Ranyi tilted her head and said to Ye Lizhu: "It's quite boring. It is said that we have to listen to a play in the evening, so that's the more interesting thing."

Ye Lizhu curled her lips and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do at home, so why not eat something here and watch the excitement. This snack is delicious, cousin, you can try it."

Ye Lizhu took a piece of crab powder pastry and gave it to Jiang Ranyi.

Because this time it was to celebrate the prince, the queen's face was naturally more relaxed than usual, with a smile on her face.

Concubine Sheng's expression was not that good. The third princess sat beside Concubine Sheng, but she was submissive and did not dare to say a word.

The maid poured a glass of wine for the queen, and the other women were also filled with wine. Ye Lizhu quietly exchanged tea for wine.

Concubine Xian stood up and said with a smile: "The prince has made a great contribution in annihilating a group of thieves in Jinshan this time. The prince is so young and promising, it is an honor for our entire Great Yan Dynasty, and it is also an honor for you, the queen."

The queen smiled softly: "The prince is still young, but he does things properly. The lack of propriety of his subordinates a few days ago caused him trouble. After this incident, your majesty will feel relieved about the prince's ability in the future, and the court will be more stable. I will The palace proposes a toast to everyone, and hopes that in the future the Yan Dynasty will be peaceful and the people will be peaceful, and that both the former dynasty and the harem will be stable."

The queen drank the wine from the glass, and the concubines, madams, and ladies below also drank the wine in front of her.

Ye Lizhu replaced the wine with tea and drank a glass calmly.

Tian Qiao glanced at Ye Lizhu and said: "Miss Ye, the Queen is toasting, but you are drinking tea. What does this mean? Is it disrespectful to the prince? disrespectful to the queen?"

Tian Qiao has never been a smart and lovable person, and therefore, neither Tao Meiwen, the princess of Prince Chen's Mansion, nor Zheng Yin'er, the young lady of the General's Mansion, usually want to play with her. She also likes to bring Wu Ying, who is invisible to the public, to her side to show off her.

As soon as she said these words, Mrs. Dun Guogong pulled Tian Qiao's skirt.

Everyone's eyes were looking towards Ye Lizhu.

Ye Lizhu stood up and said: "My daughter does not disrespect the Queen and the Prince. My daughter has been taking medicine recently, and the doctor told her not to drink alcohol, so she replaced the wine with tea."

The Queen was naturally partial to Ye Lizhu. She smiled and said, "Miss Tian is a serious girl, but you don't need to take these little things too seriously. Miss Ye is not in good health. Forcing her to drink will only make her sicker." , this time, Miss Ye can drag the sick body here, which is enough to show that she has given the prince and me face."

Tian Qiao did not hear the accusation in the queen's words, nor did she know that she had made a fool of herself in front of everyone. After sitting down, facing the reproachful eyes of Mrs. Dun Guo, Tian Qiao whispered: "I'm just telling the truth."

Ye Lizhu said: "Telling the truth depends on the occasion. Miss Tian, your complaint against me in front of the Empress not only disturbed the Empress's interest, but also made me wonder whether my cousin and I really did something wrong to offend her. It’s because of you that you can target me like this.”

Mrs. Dun Guogong knew that Tian Qiao was at fault this time, but Ye Lizhu was aggressive and Jiang Ranyi did not help Tian Qiao, which also made her a little dissatisfied. Even if the cousin kisses again, can she compare to the future sister-in-law? If you offend your sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that your husband's family will not like you when you enter the house

But on the surface, Mrs. Dun Guo couldn't let Jiang Ranyi see anything. She said: "Qiao'er is young, so she usually behaves like this without thinking too much. Miss Ye, please show mercy and let her go this time."

Ye Lizhu's expression became much colder. Even if Tian Zhuo's character was good, Jiang Ranyi could not be allowed to enter the Tian family because of Tian Qiao's sister-in-law's upbringing and Mrs. Dun Guo's protection.

The queen specially invited a troupe of opera troupes to come to the palace to sing operas. They were all famous actors of the day, and they sang one after another until it got dark.

Some ladies and ladies also left the table midway. The noble concubine left early, and the queen also left for a while.

Ye Lizhu and Jiang Ranyi were fascinated by the show. They didn't react until someone shook them.

Haitan said: "Miss, you have been watching for a whole hour, and there is no movement for an hour. If you continue like this, your body will become numb. I will take you for a walk in the imperial garden, and come back after a quarter of an hour to continue watching, okay?"

Ye Lizhu didn't want to leave: "It's too cold outside. I want to finish watching this scene."

After finishing a scene, Ye Lizhu also felt that her legs and feet were sore and numb. She had indeed sat for too long.

Jiang Ranyi continued to look down, and Ye Lizhu and Haitan went out together.

As soon as he left the palace door, Ye Lizhu said: "It's so cold, the wind is so strong, and the sky is getting dark. Let's walk in the corridor for a while and then go back. There are no palace guards here. They must have felt cold too, so they all turned back." The room is closed."

Haitan smiled and said: "Miss, you are fascinated by the play. You might as well take a walk here. Come here and let the slave wrap the cloak around you."

Ye Lizhu turned her back and asked Haitan to straighten her cloak from behind.

She waited for a long time, but couldn't wait for anyone to make any movement. When she was about to turn around, a pair of hands pressed her shoulders and took off the hat on her cloak.

Ye Lizhu turned around in surprise, but her body was held by someone, a door was opened, and she was taken into a strange room.

It had already darkened, but there were no lights or anyone in the room.

Ye Lizhu was pressed against the wooden door and could clearly smell the faint aroma of wine and cedar wood on the man.

Unable to move, she whispered, "Your Highness, King Qin."

The man's chin rubbed her forehead, and Ye Lizhu's small hands touched his sleeves. The material was cold, thick and textured.

After a long time, Tixiao pinched her soft chin: "Why don't you call me uncle?"

The room was dark, and Ye Lizhu couldn't adapt to this darkness. She could only hear the man's deep and mellow voice, and touch a hard body.

She said: "My father asked me to call him that..."

Ti Xiao's fingers went up. His fingers were slender and clean, and his breath was fresh and delicious.

Ye Lizhu had to part her lips.

His voice came from above: "You can't drink?"

In fact, it's not that she can't drink. Ye Lizhu can drink this kind of low-alcohol fruit wine. It's just that she has been around Master Wu Xin since she was a child and has abided by the Five Precepts of Buddhism for nearly ten years. Drinking will ruin her appearance and dignity. She doesn't drink at all, and doesn't want to be blamed for others. And change.

Tixiao squeezed her waist with his other hand: "Speak."

Ye Lizhu's body softened. She didn't want to speak. This was really weird, but Ti Xiao obviously refused to let her go. His voice was a little gentler: "Be good, talk."

When Ye Lizhu spoke, the tip of his tongue naturally moved in response to the words.

This will touch Ti Xiao's fingers. Moreover, she couldn't tell clearly.

Ti Xiao insisted on hearing her voice, but Ye Lizhu couldn't push him away or run away. She couldn't refuse Ti Xiao, so she had to whisper: "Master doesn't allow drinking, it's a Buddhist precept."

Buddhist precepts, Tixiao thought about it, and the feeling from his middle finger was so clear, and there was a shimmering water, and he whispered: "You have broken the precepts for me a long time ago."

Ye Lizhu said vaguely: "I didn't."

The clearer the feeling between the fingers, the darker Ti Xiao's eyes became. If there was a light at this time, Ye Lizhu would definitely be able to see how scary the man looked at her.

That kind of strong possessiveness cannot be resolved no matter what.

After an unknown amount of time, Ti Xiao finally let her go. Just as Ye Lizhu was about to take a breath, she was held up by her waist.

She was a light ball anyway, Ti Xiao pressed her down on the soft couch, and he held Ye Lizhu's wrists. Her wrists were slender, and one of them was wearing a bracelet, which was held in Ti Xiao's palm.

Ye Lizhu said: "Your Highness, I have to go back. It will take too long. My cousin will definitely be worried. It won't be good to wait for the Queen to ask."

Tixiao said: "Call me brother."

Ye Lizhu: "I..."

She didn't know what to say.

After all, Ti Xiao is senior, even if he doesn't call him uncle, he can't call him brother or anything like that. After all, Ti Xiao and Ye Fu'an are peers, and she and the prince are peers.

It felt so shameful to shout out as he asked.

Ye Lizhu said: "No, I don't want it."

Tixiao narrowed his eyes: "No?"

His tone was a little dangerous. Ye Lizhu's cloak was taken off and thrown to the ground. His hairpin also fell to the ground, and his clothes were spread out a lot.

There was a cold feeling on the collarbone, like a cold blade gently scratching.

Ye Lizhu shuddered slightly.

She knew that it was not the blade, but the cold fingertips.

Her feelings towards Tixiao were particularly complex. On the one hand, her body needed Tixiao very much, and her body instinct made her keep asking for Tixiao. On the other hand, Ti Xiao was too unpredictable. Deep down, Ye Lizhu felt a little afraid. Especially in this situation, she couldn't see Ti Xiao, but Ti Xiao could see her clearly. Chu.

Ye Lizhu called "brother" in a low voice.
