I held the talisman in my hand, and I didn't react for a moment, and just looked at it. After a long while, I raised my head and wanted to ask, but I saw Miao Yan standing in front of me with a bulging little belly, big eyes blinking.

I hurriedly took the talisman off, put it on the small table on the side, and carried her out of the bath.

The bathroom has been steaming, just now she stood by the pool for a while but not frozen, just like this whole body soaked to the warm, with a little hot bath soup, like the blood of the whole body has just been blown by the cold wind outside, and at this time it began to rush again, the whole body is smooth, so comfortable that I can't help but sigh softly.

And Miao Yan was even happier like a cat that had been petted, with both hands on her knees in my arms, just enough for her to raise her head and emerge from the water, and her neck down was soaked in the bath; Her eyes were squinted, her small mouth was almost cracking to the root of her ears, and her cute appearance was really endearing.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you like this?"

She didn't speak, only let out a long sigh, like a meow's sigh.

I smiled and reached out and stroked the wet, messy hair from her face to the back of her head.

Although this is my daughter in my arms, she has experienced too much with me, and more when she is not with me, I have never seen her like this, and suddenly I feel that this is what it looks like when I am not by her side.

She is not sensible yet, she has just begun to babble, toddler, and she needs her father and mother by her side, and the years that have been missing suddenly make me appear; I was absent from me, but suddenly appeared in her life.

Is this a gift from heaven?

All my sins have been forgiven, and my life has been redeemed

Thinking of this, I even had an urge to immediately bow down and thank God for his kindness, and all I could do was to subconsciously tighten my arms and hold this lost daughter tightly in my arms, and Miao Yan seemed to feel the surge in my heart, she looked up at me, and then wiped my neck with her cheek.

That feeling of intimacy makes me so happy that I wish it could be forever at this moment.

In such happiness, I leaned against the wall of the pool covered with a thick soft towel, holding the wonderful words in my arms, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the spirit talisman lying quietly on the small table by the pool.

That's the talisman of the protector.

If before, there were doubts and uncertainties about whether it was the mysterious mage who summoned souls for his wonderful words and deeds, then the moment he saw this spirit rune, it could already be determined.

No wonder, he has not been found.

Pei Yuanhao's move is really smart, he and I are transferred back and forth like two chess pieces, when I was in Liu's Mansion, the Protector Mage was in Chongyun Pavilion in the western suburbs; When I was about to find him, the emperor decreed that the road to the western suburbs should be sealed; Now, when I live in Jingren Palace, he appears in the Taimiao again.

However, the Taimiao Temple is not a place where you can enter and exit at will, and it is impossible for a protector to live there for a long time.

When he left Chongyun Pavilion and hadn't done the method of summoning souls for his wonderful words in the Taimiao, where were the others

I subconsciously frowned.

At this moment, a warm, wet little hand raised its head and covered my eyebrows, gently rubbing it, I looked down, and saw Miaoyan looking up at me, her big eyes were spotlessly clean, and she said seriously and hard: "Mother, don't be angry." ”

My heart softened.

All the things that were entangled in her heart turned into smoke under her rubbing, and she immediately smiled: "Mother is not angry, mother is not angry." ”

Then, she laughed.

I soaked in the bath with Miao Yan for a long time, until I noticed that the temperature of the bath began to drop, I picked her up, the palace maid outside was very clever, hurriedly came in to serve, and gave us the clothes that had been prepared for a long time, and after dressing Miao Yan, a palace maid who was packing up the clothes we had changed said: "Miss Yan, this is the princess's spirit talisman"

Looking back, she was picking up the talisman from the small table.

I hurriedly took it, straightened it out, and hung it back on Miao Yan's neck.

She didn't feel anything about this thing, and hung it back, still standing there so well-behaved, motionless.

I took the last breath for her, handed over the rest to the palace maids, and led her out of the bathroom. The room was steaming, but it was cold outside, as soon as I went out, it blew so that she and I both shrunk our necks and trembled, I looked down at her, and two blushes immediately appeared on my little face, which was cute, but I was also afraid that she would catch a cold, so I hurriedly took her back to Jingren Palace.

I didn't expect that there were still people waiting for me here in Jingren Palace.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yang Jinqiao sitting at the table, holding a bowl of porridge or hot soup in his hand, gently blowing the hot air on it, and Su Su next to her looked at her with a surprised face: "Really, Princess Miaoyan?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and when he turned his head, he saw me and Miaoyan.

Suddenly, Su Su jumped up all of a sudden.

"Miss"

I smiled and watched her pounce, grabbed Miaoyan's hand and looked up and down, and asked, "Miss Miaoyan, do you recognize me?"

Miao Yan was so frightened by her that she shrank a little, and subconsciously hid behind me, but she grabbed her arm and could only look at her.

After looking at it twice, Miao Yan seemed to remember something: "You"

"I'm Susu, Sister Susu, that's what you call me"

“”

Miao Yan seemed to be a little chaotic, just looking at her in a daze, I just pulled Su Su's hand away, and told her that although Miao Yan's condition has improved, it has not been completely cured, so let her not scare her, Su Su heard it, and hurriedly let go of Miao Yan, but he smiled at her. Miao Yan probably can't fully understand the people and things around him now, but for gentleness and kindness, he seems to have a natural acumen, and he also smiled at Su Su.

That's when I led her in.

Mama Wu was also overjoyed to greet her, she was probably the first time to see a slightly normal, able to laugh and move Miaoyan, so happy that the wrinkles on her face increased, when everyone was around Miaoyan to ask for warmth, I turned around and saw Yang Jinqiao sitting at the table, drinking the last sip of the small bowl.

I stepped forward: "Concubine Ning." ”

"Looks like you've been delayed over there for a long time."

"Has Concubine Ning been here for a long time?"

She smiled and put the empty bowl back on the table, and I saw that her face had softened a little and she was much more energetic.

She glanced back at Miao Yan again and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the princess's illness would improve so quickly. You're so blessed. ”

I just remembered that the last time Miao Yan went to the Taimiao Temple to pray for blessings, she was calculated by me and Chang Qing, and finally entered the palace by order, but I didn't expect that time passed in a hurry, and people and things were already very different.

I reluctantly smiled and said, "Let the mother remember." ”

"Today, is the concubine the first to go to the emperor's bedroom?"

"Yes."

"She's very attentive."

"I don't want Wonder Words to see her at all."

Hearing the meaning of a bit of gnashing of teeth in my words, Yang Jinqiao raised his head to look at me, but said with a smile: "However, the truth may not be as you wish." ”

My heart jumped: "What do you mean?"

"I'm here now to sue you, what the concubine said at the end actually makes some sense."

“”

I was stunned for a moment, and I was thinking back to Nangong Lizhu who didn't seem to say anything when she left, but immediately, I came back to my senses that she left, but her mind may not have left, the last few words of Nangong Lizhu, although there were only me and Pei Yuanhao present, as well as the Yu Gonggong outside the door and the eunuchs who served, but how far the words can be spread, it is not something we can control.

My breathing tensed.

Yang Jinqiao said calmly: "This time, since you entered Beijing, the emperor has not forcibly canonized you, but everything he has done is to go towards the final canonization of you." ”

“”

"You know, sometimes, public opinion may be more effective than the holy decree."

"Public Opinion"

"You don't know the truth of all mouths, right?"

“”

"What's more, you live in this Jingren Palace, you have no name and no point, when the princess is sick, you can take care of her, but once the princess recovers, your position will be very awkward."

“”

"In all dynasties, there has not been a princess whose mother is not a concubine."

“”

"The majesty of the royal family is much more important than you think."

I was speechless.

Of course, I know how important the royal majesty is to these people of the royal family, and even back then, when Pei Yuanxiu was still the crown prince, he destroyed the He family for the sake of a "royal majesty", and even swept the dignity of that son Shiyun to the ground in front of all the scholars.

I couldn't help pinching my fingers, only to feel that my fingers were cold, and looked up at her: "That Concubine Ning Niangniang thinks, what should I do?"

She smiled faintly: "I'm not you, I only know what to do in this situation, but I don't know what to do as you." ”

“”

"I just want to tell you that you'd better think about your way out of this game. Your retreat determines how you play this game. ”

"Retreat"

"That's right," she said calmly, "you must know that the emperor wants to canonize you, but he can't force you; But once you can't live in this harem as Yan Qingqing all the time. You end up with only two either, accept canonization; Or, as Yan light to leave the palace. ”

“”

"But you have to know that once you leave the palace, the emperor will definitely be furious."

“”

"Under his anger, he is facing you who are disobedient on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is facing a gentle, obedient and obedient concubine."

“”

"And Princess Miaoyan is so young, of course she has to have a concubine to raise her."

“”

"Do you think this palace can compete for the concubine?"
