"Sister Lan, who has come to visit the house these days?" In the Star Viewing Pavilion, Lin Xiaoyou sat alone by the window and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the garden. The morning sun, obliquely shining on her body, mysterious and beautiful.

"No, since Miss came back from Yanli, the palace has been closed. Even if there are people who visit, Concubine Su is recuperating from her injuries, I am afraid that she will not have the spirit to take care of it, what happened, miss?" Lan Yu's serious expression showed a calmness beyond her age, and she was always not arrogant or impatient.

Lin Xiayou turned his eyes to look at her, Sister Lan is three years older than her, she has been by her mother's side since she was a child, she takes care of her mother, her mother raises her, and the two rely on each other to support each other, not like a mother and daughter but better than a mother and daughter. Speaking of which, his own daughter is ashamed of herself. In the end, it was the person next to her mother, and she didn't inherit the things on her mother, but Sister Lan learned a **.

"It's okay, just ask. Lin Xiaoyou faintly withdrew his gaze, but his heart fell into contemplation, secretly thinking about Lin Qingyue's affairs. It stands to reason that with Lin Qingyue's obsession with Xiahou Yichen, Cheng Dù, she used two shops as an exchange condition for her to enter the palace, which was not a very demanding thing for her, but after so many days, why didn't there be any movement at all? Could it be that there was something wrong in the middle?

Seeing that she was dull and didn't speak, Lan Yu said, "Miss, the weather is good today, why don't you go and ask Mrs. Haibing to come over and accompany you out for a walk?"

"No, I want to be alone. "It's never a good thing that things are stalling when they first start. She had to sort out her thoughts before she knew what the problem was.

"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and see if Duoduo needs help. Lan Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally retreated.

Although the young lady refused to say anything to her, she knew that the young lady had something on her mind. She has been an orphan since she was a child, and if it weren't for her wife, she wouldn't be where she is today. Now Madame is gone, and Mademoiselle is her only relative. Seeing her depressed and depressed, she was distressed and helpless, what should I do?

Lan Yu thought about the problem and came to the kitchen unconsciously.

"Be careful, the ginseng soup is made for Miss Yin, don't spill it. ”

"Hey, who stewed the bird's nest, and said that it should be boiled over a slow fire. Hongyan, you hurry up and show me, it is for Concubine Su, and you are asking for you when you are on a business trip. ”

In the big kitchen of the palace, the short and fat middle-aged man Li is in charge, and he is directing the cook's subordinates to be busy. Seeing Lan Yu coming, he greeted enthusiastically: "Yo, Miss Lan is here." "As the princess's personal maid, even if this princess is just an idle nominal princess, they don't dare to ignore it. Because, although this princess has no real power, she has special attention from the prince. Since the last time Concubine Su was scolded by the rod in the Stargazing Pavilion, everyone's bright eyes had already seen the key.

Lan Yu nodded, "I'll see if the snow mushroom chicken soup that Duoduo stewed for Miss is ready, and if there is anything you need help with." ”

Hearing her voice, Xiangqing turned around and said, "It's okay, I'm not still here, I'm busy." ”

"Wait a minute, and you'll be fine. Duoduo looked at it cautiously, handed over the medicine and said, "The medicine is warm, you ask the princess to drink it first, and I'll send the chicken soup over later!"

Lan Yu was just about to answer, when the magpie came in with a little maid and said, "Steward Li, is our young lady's ginseng soup ready?" After speaking, he found that Lan Yu and the others were present, and he snorted very disdainfully, and walked past Lan Yu with his head held high.

"Miss Yin's things, we have prepared them for a long time, and you can come and get them at any time if you want to drink. Steward Li's warm smile did not show any flattery or displeasure, and he still asked the kitchen staff to bring them the ginseng soup as usual.

"That's good, Miss is not in good health these days, and don't leave behind the supplements that I have given you to stew. Even if you're busy, you can't delay my young lady's meal if you delay anyone's meal, remember?" The magpie had a lofty posture, ostensibly teaching the kitchen a lesson, but in fact deliberately showing off his might in front of Lan Yu and the others. Take this opportunity to tell them, even Su Zixin, who is in charge of the palace, they will not take it seriously, let alone a powerless princess. The master is strong, and the maid is naturally not weak. As Yin Qiumeng's personal maid, Miss's rival is her rival, Lin Xiaoyou and they disdain, Lin Xiaoyu's maid, they disdain it even more.

"The magpie girl said seriously, in the palace, the prince and the wife are the masters, and the villains are slaves, no matter who they are, they dare not slack off. Steward Li is a good person, how could he not hear the meaning of her words, and immediately implicitly stated his position.

The dispute between the masters has nothing to do with him, he is just a subordinate, and he can't afford to offend anyone.

"Ah, what a big breath, no one can delay Miss Yin. If this is what Miss Yin meant, I would like to ask, where did she put the prince?"

The magpie's face changed, and he hurriedly defended: "It's not what my young lady meant." ”

"Hmph, if it's not what Miss Yin means, that's what you mean by this, you are so bold, if you let the prince listen to this, don't say that you want to get out of the palace, even your young lady has to get out of the palace with you. Xiangqing scolded sharply.

"I, I didn't. Suddenly aware of the severity of the matter, the magpie panicked. Her young lady has not yet gained a firm foothold in the mansion, if she is driven out of the palace because of her trouble, even if the prince does not want her life, the Yin Guogong Mansion will never forgive her. "Did any of you hear what I said? I'm here to get ginseng soup for Miss, let's go." The magpie's face was stiff and he didn't admit it, and as he spoke, he fled with the maid as if he were leaving. At this moment, Xiangqing's big hat was buttoned on her head, so that she didn't have the strength to resist. If it were normal, I would have already fought back like a thunderbolt.

"Duoduo, I'll go back first, the chicken soup is ready, you are sending it." Lan Yu took the tray, turned around and hurried away. is always a self-righteous person, she is really difficult to deal with.

She hasn't figured out the matter of the young lady yet, and someone is looking for trouble, which is really boring. Anyway, if anyone dares to hurt Miss, even if she fights for her life, she will not let her go. Lan Yu secretly made up her mind in her heart, just walked to the corner, and didn't pay attention, with a "bang", she suddenly collided with the oncoming figure, and the medicine in her hand poured out, splashing the other party.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Before he could see who was coming, Lan Yu had already taken out a brocade and wiped it on the visitor's chest.

"Ahem, ahem. A few unnatural coughs rang out, and a slender hand hurriedly grabbed her hand in front of her chest, "I'll do it myself." The cold voice said without waiting for her to react, and took the Jinpa in her hand and wiped it.

He looked up suddenly, but saw the well-defined cheeks appear in front of him. "The Northern Guards, yes, I'm sorry. Lan Yu was uneasy, not knowing whether he was frightened by the expressionless coldness of Beiming's face, or regretted his reckless behavior.

"Are you alright?" Looking at Lan Yu's nervous appearance, Bei Ming slowed down his tone for the first time. explained: "I just went to Shihuan Yuan, I didn't see you, I was planning to come over later, I didn't expect to meet you here." It just so happened that the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to come, and the palace sent an invitation, and the master asked the princess to prepare and enter the palace for a banquet. Beiming said, taking out a delicate invitation and handing it to her. The cold and frosty expression seemed calm, but in fact, his face was already burning hot.

"In that case, then I'll go back and report to Miss at once. Lan Yu didn't dare to look at him, took the invitation, picked up the tray and debris on the ground, lowered his head and walked away quickly.

"Hey, ...... you" Seeing Lan Yu leave, Beiming looked at the Jinpa in his hand and gently put it on his chest to put it away.

"Miss, miss. ”

Hearing the call, Lin Xiaoyou turned around indifferently and said, "Sister Lan, what's wrong, so anxious?"

"There are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace has sent a post, and the prince has asked you to prepare well, and then go to the palace banquet. Lan Yu's face was flushed, and her tone of voice seemed a little urgent.

Lin Xiaoyou was stunned, she didn't notice Lan Yu's strange appearance, and suddenly said: "Mid-Autumn Festival, it's already the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Unconsciously, it has been more than half a year since she went down the mountain, why does she feel like it has been a long time.

A few days later, on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, a banquet was held in the imperial garden of the palace, and all the ministers brought their families to attend.

Early in the morning, Xiahou Yichen got up early, and after he went out, Lan Yu and the three of them entered the house to serve Lin Xiaoyu to wash and change clothes. Thinking about today's special day, the three of them are busy back and forth.

Lin Xiaoyou didn't want to go to such a banquet, but she couldn't help but go. As soon as she was busy, when she went out, Xiahou Yichen was already waiting here, and he was unexpectedly followed by the shy and timid Yin Qiumeng. She is wearing a peach-colored long dress, festive and extravagant, with her hair tied in a bun, and the golden hairpin and colorful phoenix are gorgeous and dazzling, fully showing her noble and extraordinary temperament.

"Lord Wang, I've been waiting for a long time. In front of outsiders, Lin Xiaoyou tried her best to play the role of a generous and decent princess.

Xiahou Yichen looked back, and his breath couldn't help but stagnate. In the sun, the slender white figure came towards him. While walking, the skirt was windy, the black hair was flying, and the jade pendant on her waist swayed regularly with her steps. Especially her bright smile, clear and dusty temperament, gestures, and casualness, it is dazzling.

Looking at Xiahou Yichen's charming and flawless face, his gaze fell directly on Lin Xiaoyou, Yin Qiumeng frowned, and there was a thick hatred and unwillingness in his eyes. "Meng'er has seen the princess. Having learned the lesson of the last time, Yin Qiumeng lowered his head to hide the love in his heart, and stepped forward to salute in a very regular manner.

"Miss Yin, don't be polite. As he spoke, Lin Xiaoyu was already close. Facing Xiahou Yichen's gaze, he spoke: "Before entering the palace, there is a small matter I want to ask the prince, ......what do you think?"

"Since I know that this king has been waiting for a long time, I dare to grind. Xiahou Yichen's deep eyes turned into mockery. Lin Qingyue's matter has not moved yet, and Lin Xiaoyou just asked him to discuss something at this time, which really made him a little curious.

Compared with Lin Xiaoyu's spring breezy expression, Yin Qiumeng frowned slightly, especially thinking that she moved to Shihuan Courtyard to get along with the prince day and night, and she had already overturned the vinegar jar in her heart. Why wasn't it her courtyard on fire, and she was the one who moved to live with the prince like this. Unwillingly, he and Beiming Dongfan, who were waiting by the carriage, consciously stepped aside to make room for the two to talk. Hmph, Lin Xiaoyou, I see how long you can be proud.

"Say it!"

Lin Xiaoyou tilted his head sideways and smiled slyly, looking tepid, not in a hurry.

even sold him Guanzi, knowing that she did it on purpose, Xiahou Yichen was not fooled, "Don't say it, the king is gone." He said that he was about to leave.

At the moment when he was about to leave, Lin Xiaoyou asked in a whisper in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Xiahou Yichen, since today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, Lin Qingyue will also go?"

Xiahou Yichen's figure was stunned, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised a trace of an unpredictable smile, should the dead woman still want to sell him once, "Yes." ”

Lin Xiaoyou nodded thoughtfully, "Then what the prince said before will definitely help me still count?"

Xiahou Yichen raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Naturally count." ”

"In that case, then I'm in a little trouble now, and the prince will fulfill your promise. Lin Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and what he was waiting for was this sentence.

Looking back at her suspiciously, "Tell me directly, what do you want this king to do?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiaoyu waved his hand mysteriously, signaling him to lower his head and whisper a few words softly.

"Finished?" Xiahou Yichen's eyes closed slightly, and his stunned expression instantly recovered as before.

Suddenly perceiving a dangerous aura, there were faint signs of anger, Lin Xiaoyou hurriedly reminded: "Hey, as the saying goes: a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." What the prince said just now, won't he regret it again?" Looking at each other, Xiahou Yichen's silent gaze made Lin Xiaoyou feel pressured, and he was anxious for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Xiahou Yichen still didn't mean to speak, Lin Xiaoyou couldn't hold back, and cautiously tentatively said: "Xiahou Yichen, don't you have a weak heart, right? It's just a Lin Qingyue, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, right? I don't care, if you don't help me today, it proves that you are just a false appearance, and I am the wrong person." ”

"Hahaha......" Xiahou Yichen didn't laugh angrily, as arrogant and wanton as ever, "Lin Xiaoyou, are you threatening this king?" But then again, what does it mean that she has seen the wrong person?

Lin Xiaoyou blinked innocently, "The threat can't be discussed, this is not for you to discuss, who wants you to grow a demonic skin, which will fascinate Lin Qingyue." She thought about Bi Luoju for a long time, but she didn't find any problems. Lin Qingyue was moved but did not act, which can only show that the economic lifeline of the Lin Mansion is in the hands of the Wu family, and the conditions he proposed, the privilege of entering the mansion is not enough for Lin Qingyue to dare to blatantly refute the Wu family. But if Xiahou Yichen is allowed to come forward, it will be different, with him as a reassuring pill, I don't believe that Lin Qingyue will not take the bait.

It's also his fault that he looks good? It's good Lin Xiaoyu, it seems that he really indulges her so much that she forgets who is the master of this qiē. Last time, Bi Luoju's account hadn't been settled, but this time it was good, and he intensified his calculations. It's a shame that she came up with it.

"So, you want this king to help you sell yourself?" Xiahou Yichen smiled leisurely, his expression was light-hearted, revealing a bit of coldness in his heart, which was incomprehensible.

Listening to the lazy voice, Lin Xiaoyou secretly complained. Did she make a mistake in this move, Xiahou Yichen is a dignified prince, he has to be fascinated by a random look on weekdays, not to mention waving his hand, and he is afraid that he will be eager to give him a hug. The more Lin Xiaoyou thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason, "Who said that he was going to sell you, it was just a ploy, if you want to or not, I didn't say it." Let's go, let's not delay entering the palace. With that, Lin Xiaoyou took the lead in jumping into the carriage.

This is the end? The dead woman said that the wind is the rain, and sold him once, and wanted to sell it twice, so bold. Xiahou Yichen was stunned in confusion and followed into the car.

It's really unruly, Yin Qiu, who has been paying attention to the two of them, dreamed that Lin Xiaoyu got into the car first as if nothing happened, and Xiahou Yichen didn't blame it, and his silver teeth were almost crushed. According to the rules, it should be the prince who gets in the car first, and then they should be. In the end, she is a country girl, relying on the favor of the prince, she has no etiquette rules at all, and she doesn't take the prince in her eyes at all. Even if the prince doesn't mind, in the long run, if it spreads, the prince's face will be lost by her.

If she is not happy, she still walks over quickly and gets into the car. Lin Xiaoyou doesn't understand the rules, she can't not understand the rules. Let's see, I don't believe that the prince can tolerate you for a while, and he can tolerate you for a lifetime.

"Come here. Xiahou Yichen patted the position next to him and motioned for Lin Xiaoyou, who was sitting alone on the right, to sit beside him.

Lin Xiaoyou looked at him, then at Yin Qiumeng, and finally sat down in obedience to his wishes. Although he didn't say anything on his face, he was already scolding Huan in his heart: damn nasty ghost, sit well by yourself, why don't you have anything to do, I really think that everyone is as rare as those nymphos to sit next to you.

Looking at that affectionate picture that had nothing to do with him at all, Yin Qiumeng was sad and indignant and extremely jealous. If the prince likes how good she is, the hateful Lin Xiaoyu, a slut, always dominates the prince at all times, so that she has no chance to do it.

Yin Qiumeng obediently sat on the left, and for a while, the carriage was silent.

Lin Xiaoyou lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling streets outside, and the endless stream of people were busy with their own things. Some were in a hurry, some were shopping leisurely, the businessmen were shouting with their throats open, and the ordinary and happy look on their faces couldn't help but make Lin Xiaoyou a little envious at this moment.

When will she be able to withdraw from this whirlpool of intrigue and intrigue and completely return to her own quiet life?

Looking at her trance-like expression, and her mind turned around for thousands of times, she didn't know what she was thinking, Xiahou Yichen frowned slightly, and finally didn't ask.

After a while, we arrived at the gate of the palace......

Beiming stopped the carriage and reported: "The prince, the princess, has arrived." ”

"Oh, look, look, the prince is here. Suddenly seeing the carriage of the palace coming, everyone's surprised eyes were as incredible as discovering a new continent. Especially those daughters who have not left the cabinet, their eyes are shining, and they can't wait to rush forward.

Xiahou Yichen was the first to get out of the car, and the seductive demon cheeks had a calmness that seemed to be smiling, and he ignored everyone's surprised gaze with disdain.

Before Lin Xiaoyou's thoughts came back to his senses, Yin Qiumeng reminded with a smile: "Princess, please first." ”

When did Yin Qiumeng, who has always been high, so gentle and sensible. Lin Xiaoyou felt strange in her heart, and got up lightly to get out of the car, completely ignoring the flash of sharpness in her eyes.

Opening the car door, she was about to go out, a hand pushed her back strongly, Lin Xiaoyou was caught off guard and fell out of the carriage, "Ah!"

It's over, she's careless. Looking at the ground that was getting closer and closer, Lin Xiao was at a loss for what to do. At this time, it was the ministers who brought their families into the palace one after another to attend the banquet, she was a princess, if she fell off the car in broad daylight, not to mention that she had no face, the face of the entire palace would be thrown away under the eyes of the ministers.

Hearing the call, as soon as Xiahou Yichen turned around, he saw Lin Xiaoyou falling, the carriage was so high, he really wanted to fall down, losing face was a trivial matter, and injuries were inevitable. There was a sudden twitch in his heart, and without thinking, his figure flashed, and he wanted to rush forward to save people.

However, a light breeze was blowing, and he was fast, and someone was faster than him......

Lin Xiaoyou closed her eyes in resignation, and in the panic, she only felt a tightness in her waist, and she was hugged by a pair of powerful arms, and a cool and fragrant familiar breath suddenly rushed in.

"Princess, please be careful. ”

With a familiar breath and a familiar voice, Lin Xiaoyou's heart was filled with a trace of indescribable surprise.

Could it be---
