At this time, Jiu Qingzi flew away from the back mountain with Fufeng.

When Tao Yaoyao saw it, she subconsciously wanted to chase him. Xiao Shuo stopped her and said, "You are no match for their master and apprentice. Besides... I believe King Dingbei, maybe he has other plans."

In that battle half a year ago, King Dingbei was among them. It is said that the team he led suffered the heaviest losses at that time...

Others say that King Dingbei's current dull temperament is inseparable from that battle.

Although Xiao Shuo didn't know what exactly happened at that time, he could tell that no one wanted to see Fufeng subdue the law more than him in this matter.

But for him, he actually chose to let him go just now and let Jiu Qingzi deal with Fufeng. He should know something.

After Zhang Jing regained consciousness in his hands and feet, the four of them went down the mountain.

Back in Kyoto City, when Xiao Shuo and Tao Yaoyao separated, he kindly reminded her, "Although I know your difficulties, getting married is a big deal. I hope you won't act hastily."

After saying that, Xiao Shuo turned around and entered the Yamen.

Tao Yaoyao looked at his back and felt more and more that she was a good character, but it was a pity that others looked down upon her.

Xiao Shuo's option was eliminated, then she would have to be exclusively for Xie Fei.

I hope he won't be so decisive.

"Miss, it's noon, let's go back home for dinner." Qiu Gui had been frightened all morning, and now she just wanted to go home quickly and be a good little maid.

However, she wanted to go home, but her young lady didn't.

"Do you know where the officials of the Hanlin Academy have lunch?"

Qiu Gui shook his head, "But the master's food is delivered personally by the servants in the mansion every day. The master seems to have said that the yamen don't care about food."

In other words, the officials of the Hanlin Academy were either sent there by people from the government, or they went out to eat?

Tao Yaoyao thought of how to get close to Xie Fei.

"Come on, let's go eat."

A quarter of an hour later, Tao Yaoyao took Qiu Gui to the restaurant next to the Hanlin Academy. At this time, the restaurant was full of people. If you look closely, there are indeed people who are wearing official clothes.

Tao Yaoyao's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he quickly found someone in the lobby.

Not long after, she actually found Xie Fei in the corner.

"Qiu Gui, you go and order. I'll go over and wait."

Tao Yaoyao pretended to be the one who shared the table. After sitting down, she racked her brains to find a topic to talk to Xie Fei. Who knows, when the words came to her mouth and she was about to speak, a black shadow appeared in front of her eyes. When she looked up, she suddenly Dark face.

"Why are you everywhere? Are you following me?"

Forget about what happened in the morning, now that she has come to such a remote place, how can he follow her. She didn't even believe that he wasn't stalking her.

"You are so sentimental." Xie Lan sneered and turned around, "If you don't want to die, just come with me."

Tao Yaoyao stood still. Seeing this, Xie Lan frowned, "Why, have you really lived enough?"

Tao Yaoyao was so angry that she walked around him and left the restaurant.

At the door of the restaurant, Tao Yaoyao looked at him solemnly, "When did the prince start to save all sentient beings? Even if the prince has a good heart, shouldn't he ask the person concerned if he is willing to let you do good deeds and accumulate virtue?"

Are they familiar?

He looked like he was lecturing her.

"I don't seem to be familiar with the prince, so there is no need for the prince to worry about my affairs in the future."

When the atmosphere between the two was tense, Qiu Gui ran over from the pastry shop nearby. Tao Yaoyao was so angry that she threw the pastries she bought on Xie Lan, and then pulled Qiu Gui around and got into the carriage.

"Miss, that is King Dingbei."

Tao Yaoyao was so angry now that she was afraid that the person standing in front of her was the current His Majesty, so she still threw it away.

"This Miss Tao has a really bad temper."

Chang Geng racked his brains and found this sentence to ease the embarrassment. After seeing that his master's face was still ugly, he hesitated and said, "Actually, the master should have told Miss Tao clearly. With Miss Tao's intelligence, she will definitely understand the master's intention."

Xie Lan glanced at the window of the restaurant, then turned and walked forward.

Chang Geng saw this and quickly followed.

"This young master's cousin is getting more and more interesting. He is used to being a pawn of the Chu family, and now he actually wants to protect this girl from the Tao family..."

Xie Fei stood outside the restaurant with a sneer on his face.

"It's a pity that what he wants to protect will not last long after all."

On the other side, Tao Yaoyao was still angry until she returned to the other courtyard. She went back to the house to sleep without even eating lunch, but she lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, thinking about what Xie Lan just said.

What does he mean?

Do you have a crush on her?

Are you jealous when you see her approaching other men?

After carefully thinking about Xie Lan's expression just now, I felt that she was being sentimental, but if he didn't like her, why did he say that?

Xie Lan didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but he was clearly reminding her of something just now.

What did he want to say?

If you get close to Xie Fei, you will die, so there is something wrong with Xie Fei?

But Fifth Brother will not harm him...

That's not right. Fifth brother has been at the border for several years and has only been back for a few days. Xie Fei has changed his temper in a few years. My cousin must not know.

But Xie Lan has also been to the border for many years, so he may not really understand Xie Fei.

Tao Yaoyao thought so hard that she couldn't figure out a result, and finally gave up.

Two days later, on the day of Wang Mei's birthday banquet, Aunt Zhao brought Tao Yanyan to Tao Yaoyao's residence early and reminded Tao Yaoyao and others to take Tao Yanyan with them when they entered the palace.

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhao, I will never forget this."

Aunt Zhao originally thought that Tao Yaoyao would have to embarrass them several times before agreeing. Who knew that she was so talkative today, and Aunt Zhao felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Then...then I'll take your sister to the front yard to wait for you. Don't be in a hurry. You can eat slowly."

After Aunt Zhao took Tao Yanyan out, Qiu Gui said with a smile, "If the second lady sees the situation at the door later, I'm afraid she won't be able to laugh anymore."

Tao Yaoyao slowly finished the last bun, wiped her mouth, got up and took Qiu Gui to the front yard. Tao Yanyan stepped forward reluctantly after seeing her.

Unexpectedly, Tao Yaoyao bypassed her and went to the door as if he didn't see her. Seeing this, Tao Yanyan almost broke his back molar.

"Mom, look at her. If you don't know better, you would think that she is the most powerful in the Tao family. What's there to say? Such a good marriage is gone. I want to see what she can show off when she enters the palace."

Aunt Zhao didn't like Tao Yaoyao either, but this time the palace gave her an invitation. If Tao Yaoyao didn't take Tao Yanyan with her, they wouldn't be able to enter the palace at all.

So I can only tolerate this tone for the time being.

"After entering the palace, be careful and take care of yourself."

Aunt Zhao was worried that Tao Yanyan had been sent to the gate. When mother and daughter saw the carriages lined up at the gate, they were stunned.

"What's going on? There are only two ladies in the palace entering the palace. Even if the eldest lady doesn't like to squeeze in with the second lady, two carriages are enough. Why are there three carriages?"

Tao Yaoyao was standing in front of the carriage at the front and was talking to Qiu Gui. Hearing the words, he looked back.

When the housekeeper saw this, he quickly stepped forward to explain, "Aunt Zhao misunderstood. There are more than two young ladies entering the palace today."

"What?" Tao Yanyan frowned, "What do you mean?"

This time, before the housekeeper could speak, someone in the carriage behind raised the curtain. Tao Qianqian, the fourth daughter of the Tao family, saw that Tao Yanyan was not coming over and quickly waved to her.

"Second sister, the eldest sister said it's getting late, so we need to set off quickly."

Tao Yanyan looked at Tao Yaoyao angrily, but Tao Yaoyao didn't seem to notice and got on the carriage directly.

Aunt Zhao found out that Tao Yun'er was not alone in the carriage behind her and quickly asked the housekeeper.

"The eldest lady said that it is a rare opportunity to enter the palace. We are all sisters in the same family. It is not good for her to enter the palace. The younger sisters can only watch, so I asked my servants to prepare the clothes and jewelry of several ladies early."

What?

Is Tao Yaoyao going to bring the other three concubines of the Tao family into the palace today?

What should she do next?

"Second sister, does she dislike her own sisters?"

Tao Yaoyao smiled and said, "In that case, let's go."

"Who said I'm not going?" Tao Yanyan said and went to the last carriage. Seeing this, Tao Qianqian asked in confusion, "Second sister, what are you doing in that carriage?"

Tao Yanyan made a joke again, and she was so angry that she glared at Tao Yaoyao fiercely.

"Second sister didn't deliberately go wrong. She clearly didn't want to be in a carriage with us. It's just a pity. Even if Aunt Zhao is favored again, there are still other things to do with the legitimate concubines.

Otherwise, why would she go to beg the eldest sister so early? "

After Tao Yuner finished speaking, he deliberately covered his mouth and smiled.

Tao Yanyan was so angry that he glared at her. If it were normal times, Tao Yun'er would have shut up a long time ago, but Tao Yaoyao had come to see her before going out today, so she felt that she had someone to support her now. Naturally, I am no longer afraid of Tao Yanyan.

When Tao Qianqian saw that Tao Yanyan was rude to her, she quickly pulled her and Tao Yun'er shut up.

"Miss, you are so awesome. How did you come up with this idea? I think it's funny now that I think about Miss Er's face just now."

Qiu Gui has been in the Tao family for so long, and this is the first time she feels so relieved.

She really likes the current lady more and more.

I also hope that the lady can always be like this.

It's not that the young lady in the past was bad, but the young lady now is better.

How should I put it, a little more popular. Unlike before, she didn't react to anyone who bullied her, and she was worried for her.

"Some people just can't recognize their own identity. Since I am the eldest sister, I naturally have the obligation to help the younger sisters below understand the reality. So that I don't have to say something about what I have or what I don't have in the future."

Tao Yaoyao was in a good mood today. After reading the storybook, she opened the curtain and looked outside for a long time. When the carriage came to the palace gate, she lowered the curtain.

"There are so many family members entering the palace today. Thanks to eldest sister, otherwise I may never have the chance to enter the palace in my life."

Tao Yuner never forgets to fawn over Tao Yaoyao.

Tao Yaoyao stood aside, smiling and saying nothing.

When Tao Yanyan saw this, his mouth was so pouted that he could hang an oil can. But in order to enter the palace, she must endure it.

"The palace door is open."
