57. Xianlin Palace
In the Xianlin Palace, Qiao Yu was still trapped in the same bedroom by Jing Yan, eating and living together, and sleeping in the same bed at night, but not the same bed.
Qiao Yu was naive and a little stupid, but he knew that this was unruly. In the palace, no one could sleep in the same bed as the prince, except for the prince's concubine.
That night, Jing Yan came back from outside, put on a thick cloak, and covered her sleeves in front of the palace gate for a while before stepping in.
There were only a few lamps in the bedroom. Qiao Yu sat in front of the table, with excellent rice paper and a few plates of paint in front of him. He was holding a small bamboo in his hand, and his palm was covered with ink, even on his cheeks.
A bunch of eunuchs and palace maids were transferred in the Xianlin Palace. There were everywhere, and there were spying news everywhere. Jing Yan remained motionless, and asked the guards who were originally guarding outside the Taiqing Palace to guard the Xianlin Palace. The guards were very grateful to be transferred from the cold palace. The inner palace was even more tightly protected. No one could enter. Usually, only Qiao Yu was inside. At most, there was a palace maid named Jinfu who could enter and exit freely.
Qiao Yu raised his eyes and saw Jing Yan coming in. He didn't care about the ink in his hand and grabbed his sleeve. He hesitated for a while until Jinfu came in quietly and handed in a cup of sweet water and a few plates of desserts. He stuttered while eating.
Jing Yan was always very patient with him and was not busy dealing with political affairs. He wiped his hands carefully with a towel before he heard Qiao Yu say, "I, I live in the inner palace now, isn't it very lawful?"
Qiao Yu came out of Taiqing Palace and made up his mind to be cautious in his words and actions, not to make mistakes, and to cause trouble for the prince.
Jing Yan paused, put the towel into the basin, washed his hands, and wiped off the black marks on Qiao Yuxue's white cheeks. He moved very lightly, and said with a smile: "You are young, but you think a lot, no wonder you are not tall."
Qiao Yu didn't expect that Jing Yan would attack her first words, and angrily ate a bite of cow milk honey cake, full of milk fragrance.
Jinfu is tall, with a normal face, her palms are covered with calluses, and she is placed in front of her. She is wearing a plain dress and stands silently behind Qiao Yu, without saying a word, just like a shadow.
Jing Yan glanced and supported her forehead and then explained, "I am sick. Outsiders think I am in need of care every day, and it is even more so at night. I have to cough outside all day long and pretend to be very hard. If I come back at night, I can't take a break. It's too hard. Xiaoyu, don't you think so?"
He said this very quibbling and scoundrel, just like he was surrounded by himself. But Qiao Yu was full of him, just for this trick. He thought about it for his prince and agreed. Finally, he nodded reluctantly and said seriously: "So should I pretend to be more like this in the future, such as getting up in the middle of the night to serve you tea and water, or something?"
Jing Yan was stunned, smiled and covered the light in his eyes, "No need, I can't see it outside."
Jinfu heard the conversation between the two clearly from behind. She looked at the prince and the little cat who was fooling Qiao Yu like a ignorant cat, and almost laughed out loud, but at least she held it in her arms.
Qiao Yu took a sip of sweet water, and the scalding tip of his tongue turned red. Jing Yan looked carefully for a few seconds. Jinfu quickly brought herbal tea. Qiao Yu saw it and said vaguely: "Isn't there anyone else who knows about this? Let Jinfu take care of..."
He paused at this point, and he was speechless. He always felt that something was wrong. He didn't want to do so. He didn't want Jinfu to take care of the prince. Because in this way, he would sleep in the same bed and could see the other person's face as soon as he turned his head.
Jinfu couldn't laugh immediately. She wanted to shrink herself into a ball and not let Jing Yan see it. "Young master jokes, men and women are not allowed to kiss each other, how can I serve Your Highness?"
Qiao Yu's thoughts were interrupted again. She thought about it as Jin Fu said, but she was a little confused. "There is still such a thing. When I was a child, I followed many maids, and they were coaxing me to sleep."
Jing Yan stopped laughing and asked casually, "Why, Xiaoyu is so unwilling to sleep with me?"
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, so he made up an excuse casually, and did not dare to look at Jing Yan with wet eyes, "The bed is too small, I am always afraid of not being able to sleep well, so I will kick your highness."
Although these words are false, they are eighty-point true when they say them from Qiao Yu.
Jing Yan took a spoon and stirred the hot sweet water, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and he cursed all his love for Qiao Yu. He took a sip of sweet water, fed it into Qiao Yu's mouth, and cursed softly, "I have no conscience."
The next day, the Dianqian came to the inner hall of Xianlin Palace to set the size. Since there was no suitable bed for the time being, I changed to a smaller one first, but it was still much larger than before.
Jing Yan joked, "Don't you think the bed is too small now?"
Qiao Yu kept silent. It was just a lie and dared not say it anymore.
Although the incident of Jing Yan leaving the Taiqing Palace was already in the capital, the officials were still surprised when Jing Yan really entered the court. Among them, Jing Xu's face was particularly ugly, and he almost didn't care about concealing it, so he wanted to re-record Jing Yan's life experience. However, Emperor Yuande was impatient with these things. Those people were interrupted after only opening their heads. One of them wanted to continue and directly removed their black hats.
After going down the court, Emperor Yuande specially called Jing Xu and Jing Yan over, smiling, "My things will be left to you at that time. You are brothers and should be close to you."
Jing Xu hated Jingyan to the core, so he could not get close to him. He reluctantly responded and stepped down.
Jing Yan never takes Jing Xu to heart. He and Feng Nannan are just dogs selected by Emperor Yuande, which are not worthy of trouble. Even the biggest use is to bite the owner.
Jing Yan had tied a rein to their necks.
There is no important festival recently, there is only one autumn harvest. Emperor Yuande sincerely wants to push Jingyan to everyone, bring all officials, and take three princes to the suburbs to harvest rice. It will take three days in total.
Qiao Yu stayed in Xianlin Palace for a long time. It was much better than Taiqing Palace. No matter how good the place was, it would be boring without Jingyan.
He was imprisoned in the palace for two days and could not wait for Jing Yan. In the end, he couldn't bear it and wanted to go to the imperial kitchen to Changle Anping first. Jinfu packed up his things for him and went with Qiao Yu. He followed behind him, like a shadow, unswervingly.
□□A few years ago, a flood occurred in Jiangnan, and refugees fled. Jeonbei went to the capital, but was blocked outside the city by Emperor Yuande. Too many people died and no one cared about it. In the end, a plague broke out. Jinfu's parents were all dead, leaving only her. She was still young and hungry at that time. She thought she was about to die, so she was rescued. Jinfu still remembers that Empress Chen sent someone to give them steamed buns, hot soup and warm quilts. However, Empress Chen had limited financial resources. Later, the prince came and arranged a way out for them and picked some people to do things for him.
Jinfu recommended herself. She had no parents and relatives, so she was alone, without any worries. She was very grateful to Queen Chen and the prince, and she just wanted to do this for them and do her best.
Later, she did more and more things and became the prince's confidant.
Jinfu looked at Qiao Yu's lively face, remembering that she was transferred to the Immortal Forest Palace a while ago and met the prince again. She only heard His Highness say: "Look at him for Gu. When Gu is not here, don't care about anything else, just don't let him be wronged."
It was dark in the night, and Jing Yan stood in the candlelight. His figure was slender, and he gathered all Qiao Yu in, lowered his head and stroked the corner of his eyebrows, and smiled.
This was the first time Jinfu heard the prince's tone that there was a little warmth in his tone. The prince used to be too cold, so cold that he didn't look like a living person.
Jinfu bowed her head and made a solemn promise, "I will take good care of Mr. Qiao if I try my best."
Qiao Yu avoided the crowd and walked smoothly. When he arrived at the imperial kitchen, the officials in the area couldn't help but curry favor with him. After all, he was only in love with him, but now no one in the palace knows that the deposed prince has been restored. In the future, no one knows who wins and who will lose the battle for the throne in the future. Liang Yu has been with Taiqing Palace for six years. How can the master and servant have deep affection?
Qiao Yu was impatient with these pleasings. He waved his hand and asked, "I want to find Anping and Changle, are they here?"
