Ruan Jiujiu didn't want to go anymore, because she didn't want to be forced to marry by the queen again. When the queen saw her and Xuanyuan Zhao, she would definitely talk about the marriage.

And she can't say that she is Princess Ming, nor can she be too tough, so when she thinks of this kind of thing, she feels very upset.

"Can I not enter the palace?" Ruan Jiujiu asked Xuanyuan Zhao.

Xuanyuanzhao shook his head and said: "Nine-nine, the queen mother is usually boring in the palace. Before Linger was with her, she could still do something, but now Linger's whereabouts is unknown. The queen loves you. Time, she will definitely let you go to the palace to accompany you from time to time."

Xuanyuanling?

Ruan Jiujiu's heart moved and looked at Xuanyuan Zhao and said, "If Xuanyuanling comes back, will I be liberated?"

Xuanyuanzhao heard her say this and asked suspiciously: "Ling'er is really in your hands?"

Ruan Jiujiu did not answer, but looked faint.

When she was in Cangcheng, she thought of finding an opportunity to take advantage of Xuanyuan Ling, but she never found an opportunity, but she never thought about keeping Xuanyuan Ling in her space forever. Although Xuanyuanling is fine now, she is not sure whether Xuanyuanling will have any accidents if the time is too long.

Maybe now is a good opportunity.

Xuanyuanzhao saw Ruan Jiujiu thoughtfully, and then asked, "Ling'er is really in your hands?"

Ruan Jiujiu looked at him, suddenly curling his lips evilly.

Xuanyuan Zhao was startled.

But he immediately felt unlikely.

Even if Xuanyuanling was in Ruan Jiujiu's hands, she couldn't bring her to the cold city. From the time when Tanglin met Ruan Jiujiu to now, Xuanyuan Zhao was sure that Ruan Jiujiu had no chance to get Xuanyuanling here.

"Why don't we go to the palace now, go early, and make the queen mother happy." Ruan Jiujiu said suddenly.

Xuanyuan Zhao looked at Ruan Jiujiu suspiciously, a little unable to keep up with her rhythm.

"Why, you don't want to go?" Ruan Jiujiu smiled, and said indifferently, "You don't want to go, I can go alone, anyway, I went there yesterday, once I was born, and I was familiar again.

Xuanyuan Zhao doubted Ruan Jiujiu's plan, so he had to say, "Okay, I will accompany you into the palace now."

The two got into the carriage and went to the palace.

After entering the palace, they went directly to Fenggong.

The queen saw that they had come early, she was really happy.

As Xuanyuanzhao said, the Beiyue Emperor was very boring and lonely after all, so I was very happy to see Ruan Jiujiu, and took her to look around in the palace to see the good things she collected. She seemed to be unaccompanied for a long time. It's easy to have something to your heart's content, so I just grabbed it.

Xuanyuan Zhao always felt that Ruan Jiujiu was not right today, so he kept paying attention to her actions, but Ruan Jiujiu did nothing in the palace, just wandering around with the queen, it seemed that he was really just accompanying the queen.

At noon, the queen left Ruan Jiujiu and Xuanyuan Zhao for lunch in Fenggong, and Ruan Jiujiu had a wonderful time.

In the afternoon, the queen will go to the hot spring palace in the palace to take a bath, and Ruan Jiujiu naturally wants to accompany her.

The cold city is cold, so the royal family especially like hot springs and the like. There are several natural places in the palace, which were specially circled and built a hot spring palace. In winter, from the emperor to the lower concubines, they would go to the hot spring palace to enjoy it.

The hot springs used by the empress are fixed.

If the queen likes anyone, she will take whoever to bathe in the fountain dedicated to the queen.

Today the queen deliberately took Ruan Jiujiu to her dedicated Fengchi bath.

Ruan Jiujiu is quite afraid of the cold, so he is also yearning for it.

Xuanyuan Zhao had been observing Ruan Jiujiu secretly today, but even if he went to the hot spring palace, he couldn't go to Fengchi, so he didn't bother to go to the hot spring, just when the emperor wanted to see him, he went to the imperial study room.

Ruan Jiujiu accompanied the queen to the hot spring palace and came to the largest hot spring in Fengchi.

I have to say that the hot springs are really comfortable.

The four walls of Fengchi are polished with jade. Because of the infiltration of hot springs, the jade is also warm. She leaned on it and asked the maid to wash her hair. Ruan Jiujiu felt lazy. She closed her eyes and quickly The trance consciousness was confused.

"Girl, girl."

I don't know how long it took, Ruan Jiujiu heard a gentle call in her ear, she opened her eyes and saw the maid serving her looking at her with a smile.

"Girl, you have been soaking in the pool for too long, and your skin will be bad for too long." The court lady said softly.

Ruan Jiujiu nodded and said, "I'm not soaking anymore."

Upon hearing this, the palace lady took the loose-fitting gown she had prepared earlier and served Ruan Jiujiu to put it on, then took her to the lounge on the side of Fengchi and helped her wipe her hair.

The maid rubbed it very gently and carefully. Ruan Jiujiu asked casually while enjoying, "Where is the empress?"

"After the empress has soaked in the bath, she must sleep in the rest pavilion. She should be resting for a while. The girl can also take a rest." The maid explained gently.

Ruan Jiujiu said: "I just fell asleep, this will not be sleepy. After soaking for too long, I feel hot all over, I want to go out and get some air."

The maid said: "The servant will serve you and comb your hair first."

Because I have been wiping with a dry towel, and because the temperature of the hot spring palace is relatively high, Ruan Jiujiu's hair has almost dried out for a while.

The lady of the court cleverly twisted her hair loosely, and then put a thick cloak on her, which led her to go outside.

There is a long corridor outside the hot spring palace, which is used for walking.

Ruan Jiujiu walked forward slowly along the corridor. She walked halfway and saw a plum forest in front of her, and asked, "Where is it?"

The maid said: "It's Meiyuan."

Ruan Jiujiu nodded and said, "I like plum blossoms. I'll go to see it for a while. Don't follow me."

The two palace ladies who followed her glanced at each other, Ruan Jiujiu smiled and said, "I don't like being disturbed when I appreciate the plum blossoms."

Although this reason is weird, the palace ladies have seen more in the palace, and know that some people do have a little habit, and said: "Yes, it's just the wind over there. The girl should not stay too long."

"Don't worry, I'll save it." Ruan Jiujiu said, stepping forward.

She turned down the promenade and saw that there was a path leading to the Meilin, so she walked along the path to a red plum tree.

As soon as she entered the plum tree, she smelled a faint fragrance, which was refreshing, and she couldn't help taking a breath.

She wandered under the plum tree, and then walked some inside.

The maid who stayed in place saw her walking into Merlin with a worried expression.

But Ruan Jiujiu said, she wanted to appreciate the plum by herself, and they didn't dare to bother.

After a while, a court lady said, "Let's go and take a look. This nine-girl, but the empress loves her very much. It's too cold in Merlin. If we catch a cold, we won't have any fruit to eat."

"Wait a second, the girl said, she wants to enjoy the plum by herself." The other was also worried, but still did not dare to pass.

"Well, wait a minute."

After a while, one of the court ladies' eyes lit up and said: "The girl is back."

The other looked over and saw that Ruan Jiujiu had walked back with a faint expression.

The two palace goddesses were overjoyed and both greeted them.

"Girl, but after enjoying the plum, do you want to go back?"

Ruan Jiujiu nodded and said, "Go back, it's a bit cold."

Back in the hot spring palace, the queen just woke up and was changing clothes, so Ruan Jiujiu also started changing and dressing.

The ladies of the palace were very neat and quickly dressed her up.

After entering the rest pavilion where the queen was, the queen just packed up.

"Hungry, go back to Fenggong with this palace, let's have some snacks." The queen saw Ruan Jiujiu, very happy.

Just as she wanted, Ruan Jiujiu and the queen returned to Feng Palace.

The people in Feng Palace had prepared snacks and warm almond soup. Ruan Jiujiu and the Queen used it together. After eating the warmth from the inside, she felt quite comfortable.

However, she didn't have much thought to enjoy this kind of comfort.

The queen leaned back on the phoenix couch and asked the palace man on one side: "Is King Zhao still in the Imperial Study Room?"

The palace said: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Zhao is still on the emperor's side and he hasn't returned. Does the empress ask someone to come over and ask.

The queen glanced at Ruan Jiujiu, "I have left Jiujiu here for so long, so it's time to come back. Go and see."

"Yes." The palace man responded and left.

The palace man returned soon, but Xuanyuan Zhao did not return, and the palace man's expression was still a bit nervous.

The smile fell on the queen's face and asked, "What's the matter?"

The palace said: "If you return to the empress, His Royal Highness may not be able to make it for a while. The slave heard that Shizi Ninghou has returned to Beijing and is in the royal study room."

"What?" The queen changed her face when she heard that, "Why is he back?"

Gong Ren said: "The minion doesn't know. The minion just listened to the palace clerk in the royal study room."

Ruan Jiujiu listened strangely and looked at the queen suspiciously. The queen noticed her expression and said: "It's okay, no matter what your business is, it's just an annoying guy coming from the emperor, so maybe Zhaoer will be here later. , You just stay here a little longer in this palace."

Ruan Jiujiu was puzzled, but it didn't show up on the face. He just said cleverly, "Okay."

The queen smiled at her, but it was obvious that she was worried and uneasy. Ruan Jiujiu looked at him without revealing it. He was just curious, what the **** is this Ninghou Shizi?

He could actually hold Xuanyuan Zhao in a while, and also made the queen so uneasy.

Xuanyuan Zhao didn't come back until after dinner.

When the queen saw Xuanyuanzhao, she seemed to want to ask something, but in the end she endured it and told Xuanyuanzhao and Ruan Jiujiu to leave the palace and return to the palace.

The two left the palace and got in the carriage going back.

Ruan Jiujiu didn't ask, but Xuanyuan Zhao took the initiative to say: "Today I went to my father's place, and there was someone from my father's place, so I was delayed."

"Ning Hou Shizi?" Ruan Jiujiu raised an eyebrow and looked at him and asked.
