It wasn't until he walked away that Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Guangxi and asked suspiciously, "Have these two princes always looked at people like this?"

Guangxi smiled and said, "No, maybe there is another reason." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mu Xiaoxiao was very puzzled, this was the first time she had seen these two princes, she was handsome and extraordinary, but she was a little arrogant, especially when she looked at her eyes, with an inexplicable weirdness, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows frowning, Guangxi said softly: "Don't worry, I will protect you, don't worry." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao raised his head and saw Guangxi's gentle eyes, slightly moved.

This sentence is very light, but it has a lot of weight in Mu Xiaoxiao's heart.

Mu Xiaoxiao and Guangxi walked together, speechless all the way, and there was an extremely subtle feeling that spread between the two.

……

……

Du Juan watched the third prince and Mu Xiaoxiao come back with a smile, and was slightly shocked in his heart, feeling that something was not good.

Taking advantage of his leisure, Du Juan came to Mu Xiaoxiao's side and said seemingly casually: "Xiaoxiao, are you and the third prince going out today?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was a little strange, but he didn't take it seriously, nodded, and continued to make the bed of the third prince.

The cuckoo was very displeased, but his face was still peaceful, and he took the bed brush from Mu Xiaoxiao's hand, "I'll come, you go and boil the pot of water." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at her, didn't say anything, and turned around to boil water.

Du Juan carefully packed up the bed, feeling very uncomfortable, although he was indeed not as beautiful as Mu Xiaoxiao, but how to say that it can be called bright and moving, not to mention that since entering the bamboo garden, he has been serving the three princes wholeheartedly, carefully observing his every move, and looking forward to the day when the three princes can have a little affection for her.

But Du Juan's efforts have been fruitless, and the three princes are still cold to her, but Mu Xiaoxiao, who has a dead face all day long, but is favored by the three princes.

This world is really unfair.

The cuckoo glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao in the courtyard, his eyes full of hatred.

……

……

The emperor was in a somewhat unhappy mood because of the prince's affairs, and went for a walk in the imperial garden alone.

Concubine Duan had already heard the news, and prepared refreshments and waited in the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty. Seeing the emperor walk in, Concubine Duan softly screamed and greeted her.

"Why are you here?" asked the emperor, looking at Concubine Duan in full costume.

Concubine Duan saluted, stepped forward to hold the emperor's arm, and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor is coming here, so the concubine prepared refreshments early and waited here, and she can also accompany the emperor to talk." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "You are still the most considerate." ”

Concubine Duan led the emperor to the pavilion with a smile on her face, and the stone table was full of precious melons and fruits.

"The emperor hasn't been to Cixi Palace for a long time. Concubine Duan said while pouring tea.

"I'm busy with official business, so I'll go to your palace to see you when I'm free. The emperor said.

"The concubine can wait for the emperor to come, and then we will have a good meal with Huan'er. Duanfei said.

Hearing Concubine Duan say this, the emperor also remembered that he hadn't seen Guanghuan for a long time, and asked, "What has Huan'er been doing lately?"

"Reading and practicing swords, as usual. But now that I'm older, I also know how to care about the people's welfare, and a while ago there was a flood in the south, and Huan'er also took out most of the disaster relief from her own money. Concubine Duan looked at the emperor and said slowly.

The emperor was very happy when he heard this, and said, "Sure enough, he is a good boy who is sensible." ”

Concubine Duan saw that the emperor was happy, so she said again: "I think Huan'er, this kid is very ambitious, and he will definitely be able to assist the prince with all his strength in the future." ”

Hearing the crown prince, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, a little displeased.

Seeing that the emperor's face changed slightly, Concubine Duan was secretly happy in her heart, and deliberately asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor shook his head, sighed and said, "It's not because of the crown prince. ”

"Prince? I heard that the matter of the southern flood of the prince has been done very well and handled properly. Duanfei said.

The emperor sneered and said, "Indecisiveness, the kindness of a woman." ”

Concubine Duan's face was very calm, but she was very happy in her heart, and persuaded softly: "The prince is still young, and it is inevitable that there will be some inappropriate behavior, and he still needs to be tempered." ”

The emperor was eating a snack, thought of something, and said: "Speaking of which, the prince is not too small, it's time to consider his family affairs." Concubine Duan, do you have the right candidate?"

The emperor's question is right in the middle. Concubine Duan thought for a moment and said: "Prime Minister Ye Cheng has a daughter Ye Jingxuan, who is thirteen years old, dignified and beautiful, and knowledgeable, and the concubine feels that she is a good match for the prince. ”

"Oh?" The emperor glanced at Concubine Duan and said, "She is not your niece, Huan'er's cousin, why don't you keep such a beautiful woman for yourself and be willing to give it to others?"

Concubine Duan said with a smile: "Look at what the emperor said, the concubines regard the prince as if they were a few out, and they see that Jingxuan and the prince are indeed so compatible, as for what the hell, the emperor has no idea, how can the concubine do anything." ”

"I will have the opportunity to meet this Ye Jingxuan in the future, and it is a big deal to choose a concubine for the prince. Concubine Duan should also pay more attention. The emperor said.

"Yes. Concubine Duan answered, and the abacus in her heart could be dialed up.

Prime Minister Ye Shu had already discussed this matter with her, and wanted to marry Ye Jingxuan into the imperial palace and break into the enemy. This is undoubtedly a very risky act, and it has to be at the expense of Ye Jingxuan's happiness, Concubine Duan didn't expect Ye Shu to be so ruthless.

However, Ye Shu thinks that if he does not enter the tiger's den, he will get the tiger, and what he has to bear is the interests of the entire Ye Party, as long as he can achieve great things, it is worth sacrificing his daughter's happiness.

Since fathers are willing to sacrifice, there is no objection to Concubine Duan, who is an aunt. Concubine Duan promised that in the future, after Guanghuan ascended the throne, she would immediately canonize Ye Jingxuan as the queen as a reward for her.

Ye Jingxuan is only two months younger than Guanghuan, and she has been playing together since she was a child, and she is a childhood sweetheart. Concubine Duan likes this dexterous and lovely niece very much, and she is also bent on letting Guanghuan marry her in the future.

However, Guanghuan didn't seem to mean that to Ye Jingxuan, but Ye Jingxuan stuck to Guanghuan all day long. The matter of marriage is the order of his parents, and Concubine Duan naturally wants Ye Jingxuan to be Guanghuan's wife, even if he doesn't like it, he can accept the side concubine casually, but the wife must be his own person.

Now that Ye Jingxuan has to make such a big sacrifice, Concubine Duan, who is an aunt, can't treat her badly, and she is the queen.

But Ye Jingxuan, the most important person in this plan, is still in the dark and ignorant.

At this moment, Ye Jingxuan was still sitting in the courtyard of Ye Mansion caressing the guqin, her face was quiet, her eyes were clear under the slightly flickering eyelashes, and her eyes were shining with innocent light, which looked extremely beautiful.

Ye Jingxuan didn't know what was waiting for her, but she would soon know that no matter what she was, she was passive and had no choice.

She became a chess piece.
