"Princess, An Meiren, Princess Shuyi is here. While the two were talking, Cho Dong knocked on the door outside and whispered.

An Meiren heard this, stood up slowly with the help of the chair, glanced out of the way, and then pinched her slightly sore arm and smiled: "Look at the concubine's mouth! ”

Nodding, Yuan Xihe should be considered, "If An Meiren usually has nothing to do, you can come to Tao Ranju to sit and sit, and the princess you have also seen is often alone here, and it is okay for multiple people to talk." ”

Saying that, he walked over and took her hand, "An Meiren is like a flower, it is a pity to waste it in the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, the April Cold Food Festival is going to Putuo Mountain to worship the ancestors, and the beauty can also prepare in advance." ”

After a pause, Yuan Xihe hesitated a little, "As for the person I just mentioned, the beauty should let your cousin on an errand control his mouth." After all, it's a human life, wouldn't there be one more murder in this world if you gave it away for nothing?"

"The princess is really a bodhisattva! Looking at her meaningfully, An Meiren smiled and obediently agreed.

Standing in place and watching her walk away, the smile on Yuan Xihe's face gradually stiffened, and faded little by little until it dissipated.

Looking at her white hands, she pulled out the handkerchief in her sleeve and wiped it carefully, but a disgusting sticky feeling always lingered.

Mu Ran looked directly at her rubbed reddish hands, and she shouted in a dignified voice, "Butterbur, go get a basin of water to clean my hands for me." ”

・

When Yuan Jiusi entered the door, Yuan Xihe was sitting in front of the bookcase thinking about something, and his eyes were still a little sluggish.

The windows in the house were all open, and a breeze blew in, and the bare screen curtains rose in the wind. The rose-colored slanting sun hit the elegant Xiaoxuan house, rendering a little bit of light coolness.

Walking over to tie up the unbroken curtain, Yuan Jiusi called her happily, "Imperial Sister!" instantly broke the silence.

"I just heard something from my mother, so I immediately came to you. She couldn't control her mouth, and when she saw Yuan Xihe, she couldn't wait to talk.

"Shuyi is here, what did the concubine Niangniang say?" Looking at that familiar face, Yuan Xihe couldn't laugh for a while, and quickly moved his face away and pretended to hook the corners of his lips easily, with a somewhat reluctant expression.

I didn't notice anything wrong with her, and sat down on a rosewood chair beside me. Yuan Jiusi picked up a small plum blossom-shaped pastry on the plate and tasted it, although it was not as good as the small kitchen made in the Shangzhuyan Palace, it was crispy and glutinous, but it was also sweet.

She waved her hands and spoke very proudly, "Mother, how could she tell me that? I heard it secretly outside the window." ”

Wiping the debris off his hands, Yuan Jiusi mysteriously walked to Yuan Xihe's side, pursed his lips and smiled, "I heard who is the concubine in my father's sister." Two eyes, two eyes"

"Who is it?!" Yuan Xihe's handbrake clenched tightly, and his voice couldn't help but rise.

As if he didn't believe that she had such a big reaction, Yuan Jiusi was so frightened that he didn't move, a little stunned.

Sensing his gaffe, Yuan Xihe lowered his eyelids and smiled unnaturally, "It's my sister who has lost her temper." ”

Yuan Jiusi didn't care, and looked at her with understanding: "At this time, if I am the imperial sister, someone dares to tease me, this princess must be eager to pick her up." She laughed to herself, "Hmph, is that what you think now, Imperial Sister?"

Yuan Xihe seemed to be very dissatisfied with her turning a corner and saying that she was very dissatisfied, stretched out her fingertips and pointed at her forehead, and said angrily: "It's not enough to pick you up, but if you tease the imperial sister again, I will kick you out!"

Yuan Jiusi looked at her in surprise at first, and after nodding thoughtfully, she slapped her face and then ducked away.

The voice was not loud or small, and he shouted: "That's the case! That princess really has to say hello to Lord Wei Li, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, and if the imperial sister marries such a strong temperament, she will definitely take care of the princess's mansion in an orderly manner, tsk! That lord is really bad!"

Before she was finished, Yuan Jiusi was covered by Yuan Xihe, who had caught up, and when she saw Roude's shy and angry expression, she laughed heartily.

She laughed endlessly, and Joude turned around and walked in to ignore her.

Yuan Jiusi realized the problem at this time, and rushed up in two steps to grab the corner of the person's sleeve, and coaxed her worriedly: "I dared to secretly listen to what my mother and Chuan Qiong said, but the imperial sister didn't appreciate it." The mother concubine said that Wei Gongzi was young and talented, his official career was unlimited, and his habits were good, and there were no other concubines in the family.

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Xihe couldn't help but laugh out loud. When Gang Yuan Jiusi said it, she didn't seem to care, but in fact, she listened to it word for word.

There is indeed a minister surnamed Wei among several humerus bones in the court, and the youngest son in the family is an official in the court at a young age.

If it is good, it should be Wei Li, if Nie Guifei said this to Yuan Jiusi, she might not believe it. But Shuyi said that she could hear it secretly

Seeing that she was happy, Yuan Jiusi finally relieved herself, and pulled her arm to ask for a reward: "I am the first person who can hear the rumors, and I will come over immediately when I hear it, but the imperial sister is actually annoyed with me, if you don't thank me well, Shuyi will definitely not follow!"

The matter that had been pressed in her heart finally came to an end, Yuan Xihe smiled and straightened out her crooked clothes, and promised: "Haven't you coveted my koi and begonia-like purse for a long time?

"That's pretty much it. As she took care of her clothes, Yuan Jiusi muttered quietly, and when she raised her eyes, she saw her attentive and gentle look, "Will the imperial sister always be good to me?"

"Of course. ”

She smiled warmly, like spring.

***

The spring breeze is ten miles, and all things are born. But Yuan Jiusi was very sad.

Two days ago, an urgent letter arrived in Nanping.

In the Nanping earthquake, a large number of houses in the city collapsed, and more than 100 people were killed and injured. The land route can't be passed, and people take the water route to bring out the news. By the time the Imperial City arrived, it had been almost a month.

Emperor Xuan summoned important ministers to the palace overnight to discuss, and the treasury allocated 10,000 taels of silver and 1,000 catties of materials.

Among them, the crown prince strongly recommended Lang Yuege to serve as the governor of the Nine Mansions, and Shangqing Gonghui Jin also echoed the advice, and Emperor Xuan finally agreed. He was ordered to go to Nanping with Wang Mian, the envoy of the inspectorate, to relieve the disaster and reassure the people, deal with the disaster, and set off immediately.

Yuan Jiusi was about to fall asleep when he heard the news that the disaster in Nanping was strict and that Lang Yuege had entered the palace late at night. She couldn't figure it out, Lang Yuege didn't have an official position yet, and it wasn't his turn to summon him. Could it be that this dispatch -

He has reached the age of the weak crown, and he is supported by the prince, and the true knowledge of the former Guoyong prison has always praised him endlessly, and it is not impossible to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

Recently, there has been no more charcoal fire, and when the wind blows, Yuan Jiusi feels that his body is always cold. Unsteady in her heart, she was soft and hard at the flower paper Lanyi, regardless of the fine flower embroidery clothes of the flower paper, and secretly ran out with the double-ring bun style of a maid.

Afraid that many people would alarm Nie Guifei, she didn't let anyone follow.

The moon is on the tip, and the moon is like a yarn.

The spring night was very cold. Yuan Jiusi carefully avoided the patrolling guards and the palace maids and eunuchs, and staggered around the layers of palace walls.

The imperial city at night was terrifyingly quiet, and the first time she came out alone at night, her legs and feet were weak and trembling all the way.

Trembling, hands constantly rubbing each other for warmth.

I squatted for half an hour under the white jade corridor bridge that I had to pass out of the palace at night, and I didn't see half a figure, this place was a long distance from the palace gate and the front hall, and the guards were relatively not so strict. From a distance, the palace is still lit up, so I guess I haven't finished discussing it yet.

Probably because she didn't eat much at night, she was cold, sleepy and a little hungry now.

Yuan Jiusi's head was dizzy, so tired that his eyelids kept fighting, and he thought in his heart that if he could see him later, he would not have a chance to see her, shook his head, and snorted lowly.

I don't know how long it took, so long that she thought that Nie Guifei was going to come to catch her monster back. Finally, there was an intermittent sound of talking in the distance, and Yuan Jiusi stood up quietly in a daze.

Standing on tiptoe and looking in that direction, I saw a group of people dressed in official robes coming out of the majestic council hall one after another, all in a hurry, with heavy faces.

The disaster situation in Nanping must be very strict, and Yuan Jiusi carried a papier-mâché lantern, and he could see him from afar in the crowd.

Ruyu Gongzi's eyebrows were tightly locked at this time, Yuan Jiusi had never seen him with such a look, and his heart became more and more uneasy. She even wanted to run over and ask her father what he had said to him.

While she was thinking about how to call him so as not to alarm the people next to her, someone over there had already spotted her first.

The purple robe was so thick in the dark night that it couldn't be dissolved, magnificent and bewitching.

From a distance, Yuan Jiusi couldn't really see Gong Hui Jin's expression, and she didn't know if he recognized herself, she looked at him a little beggingly, if she recognized it, she hoped that he could say something for herself.

But on that side, he curled the corners of his lips sarcastically.

As if he didn't know her, he turned his head resolutely.
