At night, the wind outside the window was blowing, and the step-by-step brocade branch of the peach blossom cellophane swayed slightly, and the slight impact of the wood could be heard.

Compared with the coldness outside the window, the inside of Yuqing Palace is as warm as spring at this moment, because Gu Yanling is afraid of cold, under Xiao Yi's command, the palace room of Yuqing Palace is always hotter than other palaces.

Under the raging autumn wind, the shadows of the trees were printed on the window, making a "rustling" sound, Gu Yanling was only wearing a thin peach-colored tunic silk skirt, and the bun on her head was comfortably scattered, at this moment the corners of her lips pursed a peaceful smile, her fingertips rubbed a chess piece slightly, and a trace of cunning looked up at Xiao Yi who was dressed in regular clothes opposite: "You don't change it." ”

Xiao Yi looked at Gu Yanling in front of him, the corners of his lips hooked up a doting smile, and he also said with a determined face: "Don't lie to me, I have thought about this step carefully." ”

Gu Yanling nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and then without hesitation, he pressed the black chess piece in his hand "pop" in one place, and immediately smiled and quipped: "You have thought deeply about a good move." ”

Xiao Yi was stunned when he heard this, followed the girl's eyes, and immediately realized.

"Your chess moves are getting more cunning these days. ”

Gu Yanling pretended to be angry when she heard this, but the curvature of the corners of her lips couldn't help but be deeper.

"I'll only praise me if you praise me. ”

Xiao Yi shook his head when he saw this, and then gently folded his cuffs with his right hand and said, "One more game." ”

"Good. ”

Gu Yanling agreed with a smile when he heard this, and then thought of something, he couldn't help but think about it, and said deliberately with a trace of deliberateness in his eyes: "If you lose this game, you can be punished." ”

Xiao Yi picked his eyes when he heard this, and said indifferently: "Then you can be careful." ”

Saying that, Xiao Yi unhurriedly packed up the chessboard, and when the two of them started the game again, Yubi and Jiang Zhu had already exchanged hot tea and served it.

As soon as he stepped forward, he saw his own girl frowning slightly, completely putting all her thoughts on the chessboard, and Libi couldn't help but be more careful in her hands, for fear of interrupting Gu Yanling's train of thought.

At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps suddenly remembered outside, and then the soft curtain was lifted by "whew", and the next moment there was the voice of a doorkeeper.

"Your Highness, it's not good!"

Dibi was startled by this sudden sound for a while, and her hand couldn't help but shake, and the tea cup that had just landed on the low table was accidentally knocked over, and a cup of hot tea was completely poured on the chessboard.

Gu Yanling, who was originally immersed in it, couldn't help but retreat backwards, and Xiao Yi stepped forward almost without hesitation to protect Gu Yanling with his hands.

Seeing Gu Yanling looking down at the wet chess game, his brows furrowed slightly, Xiao Yi immediately looked at the waiter and said, "Being on duty in Yuqing Palace is also so frizzy. ”

Seeing this, Libi also knelt on the ground busily, although he knew that because of his own girl, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson had never said anything serious to them, but Fang Cai himself was also wrong.

"The slave and maid behaved without a form, and begged the temple for forgiveness. ”

Xiao Yi saw that the waiter was behaving humbly, so he was not too embarrassed after all, and only twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

When the chamberlain heard this, he immediately remembered something, and hurriedly raised his head and said: "Back to Your Highness, just now the Empress Dowager of Kunning Palace sent someone to spread the word, the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace is a little bad, let you and the Crown Princess hurry over." ”

Xiao Yi paused slightly when he heard this, glanced at Gu Yanling silently, and then said loudly: "Got it, go down." ”

When Xiao Yi and his wife changed their clothes and didn't push the door open, Xiao Yi personally tied the fire fox crane for Gu Yanling, and then took Gu Yanling's hand all the way out.

It wasn't until he met Guan Tong waiting outside the door that Xiao Yi paused slightly, looked at the thin girl in front of him and said, "Why don't you wear thicker." ”

Guan Tong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a trace of joy crossed his heart, and the corners of his lips hooked up a gentle smile and said: "The concubine is worried that the time will be delayed, so that His Royal Highness and the crown princess will come and wait for the concubine." ”

Xiao Yi moved his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and although he didn't say anything, he motioned to Tan Mo to hand the spare crane in his hand to Guan Tong.

Guan Tong raised his head almost in disbelief, and saw Xiao Yi's cold eyes as always, but he clearly saw a trace of something in them.

"How can a concubine—"

"Okay, Cining Palace is still waiting, don't delay. ”

Xiao Yi in front of her seemed to be impatient to leave first, but Guan Tong knew that she was already one step closer to success.

When the maid mentioned that she put on the crane hat, the corners of Guan Tong's lips were slightly hooked, and she looked at the pair of figures in front of her who were gradually moving away, but she clearly saw a little alienation.

At this moment, if Xiao Yi and Xiao Gu appeared in front of her as cold as ice, she felt suspicious, and she was only afraid of too much deliberateness.

But the two of them were as close as ever, but in the details, she clearly saw the pretense between the two.

It can be seen that the estrangement between the two has not been eliminated, but they are just pretending in front of her.

In this way, she doesn't have too many worries.

"Side concubine?"

The maid's soft voice sounded slightly, Guan Tong moved slightly when he heard the words, and then nodded, couldn't help smoothing the crane on his body, feeling the warmth of his fingertips, and then the corners of his lips hooked up: "Let's go." ”

When Xiao Yi and his entourage came to Cining Palace, they saw that the palace was brightly lit. The palace people all stood in front of the palace, their eyebrows slightly furrowed, their hands clasped, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess. ”

The maids outside the palace bowed carefully, Xiao Yi nodded, and then said, "How is the Queen Mother?"

The maid was slightly silent for a moment when she heard this, and then said softly: "Back to Your Highness, the Queen Mother's old illness has been committed, and it was a little bad a few days ago, but today it is even heavier." ”

Xiao Yi thought for a moment in his eyes, and then walked in with Gu Yanling.

As soon as I came to the apse, it was the smell of herbs that hit the face, which made people frown slightly, and through the layers of curtains, I saw that the emperor and queen were already waiting in front of the sickbed of the Empress Dowager Guo with several high-ranking concubines.

"The grandson greets his great-grandmother. ”

Looking at the pair of beautiful children and girls in front of her, the Empress Dowager Guo who was lying on the floor raised her eyebrows with difficulty, and then moved her mouth slightly, and the hoarse and old voice also sounded in the hall.

"It's coming. ”

"Is great-grandmother alright?"

Xiao Yi stepped forward and attached himself to the Empress Dowager Guo in front of the collapse worriedly, and wrapped the Empress Dowager Guo's hand in the palm of his hand with concern.

Under the bright light, Empress Dowager Guo's face looked dull and colorless, but her face, which had always been well-maintained, was full of wrinkles.

"It's old, it's okay. ”

Xiao Yi said respectfully and obediently: "In the past, I was busy with things and couldn't come to my great-grandmother often, but in the future, my grandson will definitely come to accompany my grandmother." ”

"That's it, that's it, it's a matter of state. ”

Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Emperor Jianheng openly, and then felt distressed and looked at Xiao Yi's face with difficulty and said, "Look, they have lost weight." ”

"Emperor, state affairs are not as important as my grandson, Ah Yi is still young, Mo is so tired. ”

"I remember. ”

Emperor Jianheng nodded filial piety, and then asked the Empress Yuan beside him with concern: "The queen mother must not be left unattended here, from today onwards, you and several concubines will take turns to take care of it." ”

"Forget it, forget it-"

Before Empress Yuan could respond, she was interrupted by Empress Dowager Guo, and Emperor Jianheng couldn't help but patiently persuade when she heard this: "Queen Mother, your body is important, how can I see no one to take care of you-"

Empress Dowager Guo waved her hand, and then she was tired of speaking, and leaned back with difficulty: "Now that Liaodong is still fighting, the queen has to reduce the expenses of the six palaces, and she has to balance the six palaces, not to mention that the prince is not in good health these days, and the princess has to take care of it, which makes it difficult for the queen to travel, not to mention the assistance of the concubines." ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Guo's eyes inadvertently glanced at the quiet girl beside Ning Guifei and said, "Ah Jiu has been in the future for a few days, it would be good if I could talk to the mourning family in Cining Palace." ”
