In Changrui Palace, a woman sat on the top and drank tea elegantly. A red gold Luo Luan palace dress, wearing a pair of upside-down beads of pigeon's blood rubies on the earlobes, swinging one by one, fluttering slightly in the wind, lining the neck more and more slender, pure amber necklace without a trace of impurities in the sun shining shiny, a pair of green jade bracelets on Hao's wrist, making a more perfect outfit. At a glance, the middle palace is majestic and graceful.

"The son of the queen mother to say goodbye"

"Concubine to the Queen Mother" Learning from Xiahou Yichen's appearance, Lin Xiaoyou and the other three also bowed down.

Yin Fengqing looked Lin Xiaoyou up and down carefully, put the teacup in her hand on the table aside, and then smiled lightly: "Sure enough, it's a rare beauty, no wonder Chen'er fell in love with you at a glance." Get up, the family doesn't need much courtesy. ”

"The Queen Mother praised it, if you say that Mei Xiaoyu can be the Queen Mother. Knowing that he was praising her, Lin Xiaoyou called back all the praise in a timely manner, neither humble nor arrogant, it was completely out of his heart. The woman in front of her didn't look like a person in her thirties, and her skin could be broken by blowing a bullet, and she looked like a face in her twenties at most.

"Look, this little mouth is so sweet, no wonder Chen'er likes you so much, and it's a matter of going to mourn the family. After that, his eyes fell on Xiahou Yichen's body, "Chen'er, I heard that your imperial brother said that you haven't been to the court for a long time, hey, no wonder I don't know to come to see the mourning family." ”

"Now there are not many affairs in the court, so the ministers are lazy. Xiahou Yichen replied expressionlessly.

"That's it, since you're here, let's go to your royal brother's place, and leave a few of them here to chat with the mourning family!"

"The minister will retire first!" Xiahou Yichen blessed himself again and prepared to leave, and when he turned around, he glanced at Lin Xiaoyu and signaled her to wait for him to come back with peace of mind.

Before he said a word, he was leaving, and Lin Xiaoyou secretly guessed that the relationship between the two should not be very good. Especially Xiahou Yichen, from the moment he entered the house, the expression on his face was very cold.

"You all retreat!" As soon as Xiahou Yichen left, Yin Fengqing withdrew the smile on his face, swept his jade hand, and retreated from the other palace people serving in the hall. "Don't be stunned, sit down!"

Looking at this posture, Lin Xiaoyou was vaguely uneasy, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, so he sat down hesitantly. However, Su Zixin and the three of them began to talk endlessly about family affairs after being reserved for a while, nothing more than talking about how grateful and worried about the Queen Mother since they married to the palace, and how good they were in the palace after they married to the palace. Looking at the happy family, Lin Xiaoyou could only sit and couldn't talk.

Yin Fengqing didn't answer when she heard this, and waited until the three of them were almost finished talking before she casually asked, "Is it?

"This" asked the key point, and the three of them were embarrassed and couldn't answer.

"Hmph, I found such a good home for you, but I didn't expect you to just want to be happy and reconciled, and you didn't take the words that the mourning family warned you to heart at all. Yin Fengqing frowned slightly, exuding an invisible pressure, and said sharply.

"The concubine is guilty, please punish the queen mother. It's just that this can't be blamed entirely on the concubine's body" Su Zixin and the three of them knelt on the ground in fright, and when they wanted to explain, they became darker and darker, so they had to keep silent.

Yin Fengqing was afraid of the table, and said angrily: "Presumptuous, it's not your fault, is it the prince's fault." ”

Lin Xiaoyou quietly watched the changes in front of him, and roughly figured out a little bit of the Queen Mother's purpose, which must be angry about the issue of the heir, and at the same time to demonstrate to her. Thinking of this, she secretly screamed badly, if it was really as she thought, this hot potato would definitely fall on her.

Sure enough, before she could figure out her thoughts, Yin Fengqing looked at her and said softly, "I heard that your name is Lin Xiaoyou!"

"Yes," Lin Xiaoyou replied as he got up.

"Oh, sit down, sit down, talk casually and don't be nervous. Yin Fengqing said with a slight smile, her tone was slightly better than just now, but she still didn't feel any affection.

It would be false to say that she was not nervous, and if there was an oversight, it would inevitably not be angry with her.

"Hey, Chen'er's temperament is stubborn, and he refused to be a princess before. Now that you are elected, you must fulfill your duties as a princess well, and you must not do anything that will lose the face of your royal status. ”

"Remember the Queen Mother's instructions, I am not, the concubines will definitely abide by their duties and share the worries of the prince. Lin Xiaoyou replied carefully, feeling particularly bitten when he said the word concubine.

Yin Fengqing nodded, and said, "Well, you look like a smart person." Although the mourning family is not Chen'er's biological mother, he is also something I watched grow up, so I naturally hope that he is well. If you start a family early, you can also have a caring and warm person. It is more important to be able to branch out for the royal family earlier, and you know that the inheritance of the royal bloodline is a very important thing. As the princess chosen by Chen'er, these are your duties. There are a lot of concubines in the palace, so you have to persuade him more in the future, and it is best to make sure that the rain and dew are evenly wet, otherwise it will inevitably cause a lot of controversy, do you understand?"

The babbling words, Lin Xiaoyou was terrified when he heard it. Sure enough, the people who can sit in this position are not simple masters.

Then he got up and said respectfully: "The concubines dare not slack off on what the Queen Mother ordered, and they should do their best to live up to the Queen Mother's expectations." Having said that, she had another plan in her heart, after all, it was not her problem, and how could she be allowed to interfere. It's better to settle your own affairs and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"Then the mourning family will wait for good news, I hope you don't take the words of the mourning family as the wind in your ears like them. Yin Fengqing said as she looked at the person kneeling on the ground.

The gentle words were full of charm, like a gust of wind blowing, making Lin Xiaoyou feel chilled indescribably. But with her current situation, this is really a tricky thing. Help the Queen Mother, she will offend Xiahou Yichen, and she is not qualified to take care of this matter. If you don't help, the end will definitely be miserable, and her feelings are not pleasing to both ends if she is caught in the middle.

After thinking about it, I don't like what I do, so I just don't care about it. Anyway, it's none of her business, if she is to blame it, she will push Xiahou Yichen to bear it.

"Get up, and serve me well in the future, otherwise the mourning family will not be spared. "The goal has been achieved, so there is no need to dwell on this issue. Then he casually talked about some topics until Xiahou Yichen came back.

"Queen Mother. When I walked outside, I heard a burst of laughter, thinking that it was a good conversation.

"You're back, there's nothing wrong with your imperial brother, right?" Yin Fengqing looked at him and asked gently.

"Nothing, just trifles. Xiahou Yichen replied lightly, and set his eyes on Lin Xiaoyou, "Queen Mother, if there is nothing else, Erchen will retire first." ”

Yin Fengqing followed his gaze and seemed to understand. Tiredly waved his hand and said, "That's it, then let's all retreat, the mourning family is also tired." Remember, in the future, I will come to see the mourning family more when I have time. ”

"The retainer retired. ”

Since leaving the palace, Lin Xiaoyou leaned in the car and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he didn't have a good rest last night, and his spirit was highly tense just now, but he suddenly relaxed at this moment, and the whole person felt very sleepy. Xiahou Yichen wanted to ask her what she had talked about, but when he saw her slightly tired face, he swallowed the words back.

Back in the palace, looking at Lin Xiaoyu, who left alone, Xiahou Yichen finally couldn't help asking, "What did you all say when you were in Changrui Palace?"

Lin Xiaoyou didn't reply, and said as she walked: "If you have the leisure to ask this, it's better to go to your ladies more!"

At this point, the meaning is clear. Xiahou Yichen froze in place with a deep frown, and looked at her figure gradually walking away in a daze. This woman really doesn't take him seriously anymore, if it were someone else, who would dare to speak to him like this.

"Fragrance, fragrance. Lin Xiaoyou, who returned to the Star Viewing Pavilion, looked at the empty inner room and called softly. Where did this girl go? Walked to the couch and sat down, rubbing her arms casually.

"Princess, you're back. ”

Lin Xiaoyou looked at the figure who hurriedly ran in and said, "Yes, I'm a little tired, I want to lie down first." If the prince sends someone to pass the meal later, he will say that I have no appetite and will not eat. ”

"Yes, the slave wrote it down. After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaoyu fell asleep and quietly withdrew.

When I woke up, it was already dark. I don't know what time it was, Xiangqing sat at the table and took a nap with her head on her hand, she hadn't eaten during the day, and her stomach was empty at this time, and she was hungry. Lin Xiaoyou turned over and got out of bed, wanting to find something to eat by herself.

As soon as the door was opened, Xiangqing woke up, "Princess, you're awake." ”

"Well, wake you up, that's fine, you go back to the house and rest, don't take a nap here. Lin Xiaoyou turned around and said.

"Hehe, it's okay, the princess hasn't eaten for a day, and the slave is afraid that the princess will wake up hungry and won't find anything to eat, so she has been guarding here. Xiangqing said with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyou's heart warmed, starting from the time she went down the mountain, counting it carefully, there were only three people who treated her sincerely, Mother, Sister Qianqian, and Sister Lanyu. It's just that now, my mother is gone, Sister Qianqian is in the Lin Mansion again, and Sister Lan Yu's whereabouts are unknown, and this is all because of her. Every time I think of them, the anxiety and guilt in my heart become heavier and heavier.

"Princess, princess!"

"Hmm", after coming back to her senses, Xiangqing had already walked to her side, stretching out her hand to dangle in front of her eyes, "What's the matter?"

Xiangqing was startled, withdrew her hand, and said, "Princess, don't scare the slave maid! The slave maid wants to ask you, do you want to eat something?"

"Well, okay, then I'll go to the kitchen with you to find something to eat. Saying that, he took the lead and went first, and Xiangqing followed with a lantern.

The kitchen is set up on the east side of the courtyard, and the Shihuan Courtyard and the Star Picking Pavilion are adjacent to the north courtyard, and from here you still need to pass through the Shihuan Courtyard. The two walked slowly and walked outside the kitchen, only to find that the door was locked, Lin Xiaoyou sighed, thinking that he was going to be hungry all night, but he didn't know that Xiangqing took out the key and opened the door like a trick, "Princess, I know that you haven't eaten, so the slave maid has already been ready!"

The inside is very spacious and clean, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner. Xiangqing smiled and asked, "Princess, if you want to eat something, the slave will make it for you right away?"

Lin Xiaoyou smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, just take some snacks and make do with them!" Thinking that Xiangqing had a busy day, and he was so thoughtful about her, he really couldn't bear to toss her in his heart. As he spoke, he casually picked a plate of snacks on the table and picked them up to eat.

"Farewell to the Princess"

"This king thought that there was a thief in the palace! A joking voice sounded, interrupting Xiangqing's original words of dissuasion.

"See the prince," Xiangqing bowed down to the visitor.

Glancing at Xiahou Yichen, he was dressed in a bamboo green robe, leaning against the door with a leisurely posture, Lin Xiaoyou swallowed something unhurriedly, took the tea handed by Xiangqing and took a sip before saying: "I don't sleep at night, and I don't seem to be the only thief!"

"Haha, this king is wandering around in his own house, how can he be a thief!" Xiahou Yichen said with a smile, his gaze kept on Lin Xiaoyou. Originally, he was discussing with Dongfan in the study, and after it was over, he wanted to go back to Shihuan Courtyard to rest, but when he saw Lin Xiaoyou going to the East Courtyard, he couldn't help but follow.

Lin Xiaoyou gasped and didn't answer, pretending not to know and continuing to eat his own things. After eating two bites and putting them down, I was stared at and eaten like this, and I couldn't swallow it in my mouth. turned to Xiahou Yichen's gaze, and saw his expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, where could he guess his thoughts.

This scene was meaningful in Xiangqing's eyes, and he smiled lowly, saluted and said, "The slave and maid will retire first." Then he withdrew from the door and waited.

After Xiangqing went out, looking at Xiahou Yichen who was approaching, Lin Xiaoyu took a step back and said angrily: "What advice does the prince have?"

Xiahou Yichen chuckled lightly before turning his gaze elsewhere, "Is this king terrifying?"

"Shouldn't the prince forget the rules of the three chapters of our covenant?" Lin Xiaoyou asked with a question and answer.

"This king wants to ask you what your plans are?" Xiahou Yichen was silent for a while and said.

Speaking of business, countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, Lin Xiaoyou lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "I want to find someone first, my mother's personal maid, Sister Lanyu." She was the one who took me out, and I don't know if she was arrested and returned to the Lin Mansion. Her worries are not unreasonable, Lan Yu is her mother's person, and now her whereabouts are still unknown for her. Finding her can alleviate the guilt in your heart, and you can also inquire about your mother's affairs.

"Well, and then what?"

"Then, I will slowly settle the new accounts and old accounts together, and get them all back. Lin Xiaoyou said, a trace of pain and despair appeared on his face.

"Well, this king will keep his promise and help you. ”
