"Is this where you live?"
There were flower beds and a few flowering trees planted in the corners of the walls. A stone-paved path extended to the front of the main hall. Suddenly, the hall door opened and an elderly palace servant came out. Seeing the people in the yard, he was immediately startled: "Master!"
He dropped the broom and ran to Li Junyue in surprise: "Master, why are you back?"
A pair of slightly cloudy eyes looked up and down at Li Junyue. Seeing that his face was rosy and his expression was calm, not like he had been bullied, he burst into tears of joy: "Okay, okay."
"Uncle Li Zi."
Li Junyue stepped forward to support the man and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
The two of them began to reminisce about the past as if no one was around. Li Junyue had only been away for four days, but it seemed like he had been gone for decades.
Li Junyue looked towards the main hall: "I came back this time to take you away. Where are Xiao Hezi and the others?"
"Walk?"
Uncle Li Zi looked up and realized that his master was followed by a bored female master. He knelt down quickly and said, "Damn it, slave, I greet the lady."
"Get up, where are the others?"
Xihe had sharp ears and did not hear any other voices in the hall.
"My lady, my master, everyone else... has left." Uncle Li's voice was hoarse.
There were many people in the palace who were trying to curry favor with the powerful. When they saw their master leave, they thought that the Jiang family was not a good place. As soon as Li Junyue got married, they immediately packed their bags and went out to find better jobs.
Li Junyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Li to pack up."
Although he said before he left that he would come back to take them away, since they had their own way, he would not force them.
Uncle Li Zi immediately went to pack up his things happily.
Xihe rubbed his nose, feeling inexplicably that this was all his fault again, so he had to change the subject: "Would it be convenient for you to go in and take a look?"
Li Junyue nodded and took Xihe in.
Actually, there was nothing much to see. All the things that needed to be moved out on the wedding day had been moved out. Now the whole hall was very empty. The sunlight shone in, stirring up small clouds of dust.
After they walked around for a while, a palace maid came to report that the emperor had left the court, so they went to the Qinzheng Hall.
Before leaving, Li Junyue looked back at the palace. He probably wouldn't come back in the future.
Qinzheng Hall,
The Empress was sitting there reviewing memorials. When she heard the voice, she raised her smiling face and said, "An'er is here?"
Xihe and the other two immediately knelt and said, "Your Majesty, your sons pay their respects to you. Long live your Majesty."
"Get up quickly, why are we being so polite as a family?"
The Queen stood up and personally helped Xihe and the other man up. She first praised her son, then taught him to be a good king and expand the Jiang family, and then she took Xihe aside to talk.
From poetry and songs to life philosophy, the Queen was amazed: "I didn't expect An'er to have such great talent."
Xihe, who accidentally said bald lips: "..."
"No, no, I just like reading miscellaneous books."
She smiled in a concealed manner and changed the subject to talk about the Fifth Prince. She was not polite in her words and almost described the Fifth Prince as a man who threw himself into the arms of a strange girl without any shame. The Queen's face turned black after hearing this.
"Don't worry, An'er. I will ask his father to teach him more later."
Xihe nodded and waved his hand generously: "Your Majesty's words are golden, and I naturally believe Your Majesty."
Queen: “…”
Li Junyue secretly pinched Xihe's arm, signaling her to speak slowly. Xihe pinched him back. She was acting according to the original owner's temperament.
Being too cautious would only arouse suspicion.
The two of them were talking back and forth, as if flirting. The queen had a smile on her face, but her eyes couldn't help but deepen.
