Late at night, in the Imperial Garden.

Layers of flowers and shadows are heavy, and the figures of a man and a woman are clearly visible.

"Your Highness, the slave can no longer serve His Highness in this life. The woman's face was full of tears, crying like pear blossoms with rain.

The man gently took the woman into his arms, stroked her back, and comforted her softly: "Xiangqiao, don't be afraid, this palace will not let you leave when I go to beg my mother." โ€

This man and woman are the crown prince Qin Jinghui and Xiang Qiao.

Xiang Qiao raised his head, looked at the prince, and was full of joy: "Really, Your Highness didn't deceive the slaves?"

Qin Jinghui smiled slightly, and said, "How can this palace ever deceive you, even if this palace doesn't want the position of the crown prince, it will definitely not let you be occupied by that old man Ling Guogong." โ€

Don't want the position of the prince? Xiang Qiao's heart was full of emotion, and at the same time, a touch of sorrow attached to his eyebrows.

"Your Highness, don't say such things, you are Your Majesty's son-in-law, the prince of Western Qin, this crown prince is originally yours, how can you not want it?"

Qin Jinghui looked at her gently, and said: "Xiangqiao, things are not as simple as you imagined, the queen mother will still agree even if she is angry, but this matter was brought up by the imperial concubine, she will definitely not let it go, if she blows some pillow wind in front of her father, her father does not like the palace in the first place, and it is very possible to abolish the crown prince of the palace in a fit of anger." โ€

Xiang Qiao was so frightened that she lost her face, and said hurriedly: "The slave maid is just a little palace maid, if it is because of the slave maid that His Royal Highness loses the position of the prince, then the slave and maid are not guilty of too much." โ€

The tears came more and more violently, Xiang Qiao bit his lip, and finally relented, and said: "Your Highness's affection for the slave and maid, the slave and the maid will never forget, I thought that I would serve His Highness in this life to repay His Highness, but I didn't expect that there was no chance, His Highness let the slave and maid go to the Lingguo Mansion, and the slave and maid are willing to find out the news for His Highness and help His Highness get what he wants." โ€

When Qin Jinghui heard this, he was overjoyed, but he still had a sad and reluctant look on his face: "Xiangqiao, how can you give up your name to this palace?"

Xiang Qiao had the courage to hug Qin Jinghui, and cried and said: "The slave maid has a low status, and she can't do anything for the prince, now that she has the opportunity, Your Highness will let the slave and maid go." I just hope for ......"

"I just hope that His Royal Highness will remember the slave and maid in the future, and the slave and maid will be satisfied. โ€

Qin Jinghui held back the joy in his heart, hugged Xiang Qiao tightly, and said, "Xiang Qiao, when this palace ascends to the throne in the future, I will definitely make you a concubine." โ€

Xiang Qiao's face turned red, and said: "At that time, the slave maid's body may have been trampled, how can I still be the concubine of His Royal Highness, as long as His Royal Highness still remembers the slave maid, the slave and maid will not be in vain." โ€

"Xiangqiao, you are the beloved of this palace, and you have helped this palace a lot, how can this palace dislike you?"

Xiang Qiao nodded happily and said, "Your Highness, the slave will definitely do her best to help you ascend to the throne." โ€

This pair of wild mandarin ducks and you and me have been together for a long time before they separated.

After the two left, one of them came out of the flowers next to them.

"Alas, county lord, this is really a good show, isn't it?" That person was Qin Jingyi.

Qin Jingyi is this kind of typical person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

And Ling Haoyue and Xiao Yao also came out of the flowers next to them.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to fall in love with a palace maid, and he also staged a good show of love and concubine, but it's a pity that he didn't let his father and queen see it. Qin Jingyi's words were full of regret.

Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "Even if the emperor is here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will only be punished for a few words, at most he will be confined for two days, don't you see that it is clearly that Xiang Qiao seduces the prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not messy?"

Ling Haoyue didn't ignore Qin Jinghui's upturned smile on the corners of his mouth, and she was happy in her heart.

Qin Jingyi said with a smile: "Ouch, is the crown prince and the royal brother just selling his hue to make women willing to help him do things?"

Ling Haoyue said lightly: "Maybe it's something you want me to do." โ€

Qin Jingyi came to his senses and said, "Does the county lord mean that Xiangqiao is also using the prince?"

Ling Haoyue smiled lightly: "Do you think Xiang Qiao looks like a stupid woman trapped by love?"

Qin Jingyi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not quite like that, if that's the case, then even if she loses the crown prince's position, she won't be the concubine of Ling Guogong." โ€

"That's it, Xiang Qiao knows very well in her heart, if the prince really asks the queen, then the queen will definitely not let her go, instead of dying, it is better to be obedient and enter the Lingguo Mansion, and occasionally pass on a message or something, the queen may really look down on her. โ€

Qin Jingyi said with a smile: "In my opinion, even if she does too much, the crown prince will not pay attention to her when he ascends the throne." I don't believe any man would accept a broken flower. โ€

Broken flowers and willows!

These four words were like a boulder pressing on Ling Haoyue's heart.

Ling Haoyue's face changed slightly, and she said lightly: "It's not early, Haoyue farewell." Xiaoyao, let's go. Then he left without raising his head.

Qin Jingyi was puzzled, didn't Fang just say it well, why did the county lord change his face all of a sudden?

Woman, I really don't understand.

"Sister, why are you angry?" Xiao Yao looked at her puzzled, "Did he make you angry, sister, don't be angry, Xiao Yao will help you beat him!"

Ling Haoyue smiled faintly: "Sister is not angry. "The past is not mentioned.

Ling Haoyue returned to the room, but saw Qing Dai coming up.

"County Lord, you're back. โ€

"Qing Dai, what's wrong, is something happening?" Ling Haoyue looked at Qing Dai's face as if she was a little anxious.

Qing Dai replied: "County Lord, Fang Cai slave maid accidentally heard Aunt Xiu next to the Queen Mother talk about it, as if the Queen Mother was mentioning your marriage to the emperor and Xiao Gongzi. โ€

Ling Haoyue didn't want to marry Xiao Qingfeng, the Queen Mother didn't know about this, the Queen Mother wanted to marry her into the Xiao Mansion, but she didn't want to, if it was late, it would be bad.

"What does the emperor mean?" Ling Haoyue asked calmly.

Qi Yan said that he had already revealed his meaning to Emperor Xiqin, presumably Emperor Xiqin would not rashly agree to let her marry into the Xiao Mansion.

"Listening to the emperor's meaning, it seems to say that Xiao Gongzi does not have any merits at present, and he is afraid that he has wronged the county lord, so he wants to give him an official first. โ€

Ling Haoyue smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, this is a procrastination trick. โ€

Qing Dai's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Doesn't Your Majesty want the county lord to marry Xiao Gongzi?" โ€

Ling Haoyue was silent, it was a tacit acquiescence, and there was no need to explain the reason to her.

Ling Haoyue pondered for a moment and said, "If the Queen Mother is really determined to marry me, I am afraid that the emperor may not agree." Qing Dai, you go and find out the gold silk inlaid ruby double luan in my makeup, and I will wear it tomorrow. โ€

She must confess to the Queen Mother, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

The next day, Ling Haoyue went to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but was told that the Queen Mother was worshipping the Buddha and asked her to go back first.

"Aunt Xiu, didn't the Queen Mother already worship the Buddha at this time in the past?" Ling Haoyue asked suspiciously.

Aunt Xiu smiled: "County Lord, you don't know, the Queen Mother didn't sleep well last night, so she got up late in the morning." County Lord, you better go back first, if you keep standing outside like this, the Queen Mother will know that she will be distressed. โ€

Ling Haoyue smiled lightly: "Then the county lord went in to worship the Buddha with his grandmother." โ€

As she spoke, she was about to go inside, but Aunt Xiu hurriedly stopped her and said, "County Lord, the Queen Mother doesn't like people to disturb when she worships the Buddha, so don't embarrass the slave and maid." โ€

Ling Haoyue pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay then, this county lord will come back later." โ€

After saying that, she turned around and left, and walked to a place where Aunt Xiu couldn't see, Ling Haoyue stopped and said to Qing Dai beside her: "Qing Dai, you go and inquire quietly, what is the Queen Mother today?"

"Yes, Lord Shire. Qing Dai departed.

Ling Haoyue's heart was flustered, she always felt that what the Queen Mother was doing now had something to do with her family affairs.

In fact, as Ling Haoyue expected, the Queen Mother did not worship the Buddha in the small Buddha Hall, but summoned Xiao Fanghui, the granddaughter of Mrs. Xiao, to meet her early in the morning.

"Well, sure enough, it is the granddaughter of Mrs. Xiao, who is well-mannered, gentle and gentle, and deserves the name of Fang Hui. The Queen Mother praised Xiao Fanghui a lot.

Xiao Fanghui smiled humbly and said: "Hui'er thanks the Queen Mother for her appreciation, Hui'er's behavior is rude, which makes the Queen Mother laugh." โ€

The Queen Mother beckoned to her, Xiao Fanghui stepped forward, the Queen Mother took her hand and said kindly: "Mrs. Xiao's personality, the mourning family knows, the children he raised, the mourning family can rest assured, now that they see you, the mourning family thinks that your brother Xiao Qingfeng should not be bad, and it is just right with Yue'er." โ€

Xiao Fanghui's heart jumped, the county lord rejected her brother, did the queen mother not know about this, or did the queen mother not agree to the county lord's divorce.

Xiao Fanghui had a smile on her face, but she didn't dare to speak casually.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't notice her abnormality, patted the back of her hand gently, and said with a smile: "The mourning family remembers that your brother is not young." โ€

Xiao Fanghui nodded and replied, "My brother is exactly nineteen today. โ€

"Yue'er is almost over, and this marriage should be put on the agenda. โ€

Xiao Fanghui was puzzled, this queen mother wants them to get married?

How should she answer this, the county lord has already made it clear that he wants to withdraw from the marriage, and since his brother came back from Baiyun Temple, he has been studying and practicing all day long, without mentioning the county lord, and he won't say anything when he asks him.

"This ...... Fang Hui is just a daughter's family, and this matter depends on the meaning of the county lord. โ€

The Queen Mother said: "According to the meaning of the mourning family, Yue'er and your brother are not young, and the marriage should be done, but the emperor said that this marriage was given by her personally, and she can't be sloppy, so you want your brother and Yue'er to get married in a beautiful way, so I will grant your brother an official position first, and when the time is ripe, let them get married." โ€

Xiao Fanghui's heart has always been hanging, although this time has been delayed, it will still come after all.

simply lowered his head and did not answer.
