In Cining Palace, Duojia Luo incense is lit all year round.

Although the Queen Mother does not believe in Buddhism, she is afraid of ghosts and gods, and this Buddhist incense is also used to drive away the gods of tranquility.

"Lu Baolin is here. ”

Lu Ji entered the door to greet the Queen Mother, and the other person sitting on the couch was indeed as she expected.

Master Mi opened an art gallery in the capital, called "Fenglai Building", which is specially used for the daily living of dancers and courtesans, and only takes a little from the income they earn from performing on weekdays as the capital of their business.

Lu Ji learned dance with Master Mi at the age of nine, and went to Fenglai Building on the seventh, seventeenth, and twenty-seventh of each month to look for her, and the rest of the time she couldn't find her. Before Lu Ji entered the palace, he asked Tingqi to find Master Mi, but he just told the mother-in-law and girls in the sù hall.

Master Mi's whereabouts are impermanent, except for teaching Lu Ji to learn dance, he rarely appears. Judging from her usual description and behavior, she doesn't look like a simple geisha, but is not ashamed of her style, and her temperament is also very refreshing.

Lu Ji likes her, appreciates and respects her. Therefore, Lu Ji didn't think to ask about all kinds of contradictions and doubts about her when she was a child, and although she was puzzled when she grew up, she didn't think to ask.

Lu Ji vaguely knew that Master Mi was married to a big family, which can be seen from her usual clothes and accessories, as well as the silver-topped red sedan chair she sat in when she came.

It is precisely because of this that Master Mi takes into account the reputation of some in-laws, and does not show her face when she goes in and out, and there are more legends about her in the capital.

In fact, except for Lu Ji, almost no one has seen her dancing.

Once Lu Ji was in front of Fenglai Building, he saw Master Mi getting off the sedan chair and was called "Mrs. Xiao" by a little maid. Later, the maid stopped appearing, and no one was heard calling her "Mrs. Xiao" again.

Now Master Mi is missing his usual dance clothes, sitting next to the Queen Mother, wearing a stone blue piece of gold edge embroidered python crown dress, with a slender figure and proper skin maintenance, he looks younger than the Queen Mother, with a graceful attitude up and down, looking at her with a smile.

Oh, now it's Mrs. Xiao.

"When I saw Prince Gong Fujin, why didn't you understand any etiquette?"

The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with Lu Ji's appearance, she was stunned and stupid, and lost the royal face, so she raised her eyebrows, pressed the teacup hard with one hand, and with a "bang", the water splashed on the ground.

Prince Gong's name is Zhao Xiao, no wonder she is called "Mrs. Xiao".

Lu Ji remembered that among the two princes he saw last time, one looked solemn and solemn, presumably Prince Mu, and the other was free and unrestrained, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a little similar to King Qijun, presumably Prince Gong.

is not such a chic and peaceful person, and he will not marry a dancer to be his concubine.

"Queen Mother, what's going on?" Mrs. Xiao glanced at her with disgust, stood up and pulled Lu Ji to sit beside her.

Lu Ji was surprised, Mrs. Xiao was not afraid of the Queen Mother at all.

"I didn't come to the palace banquet last time, and she didn't recognize anything strange about me. Mrs. Xiao disapplievously blocked the arrow for Lu Ji.

She likes Lu Ji and treats her like her own daughter.

"You ......" The Queen Mother was stunned, but she endured it stubbornly and didn't say a word.

The Queen Mother even wants to see Mrs. Xiao's face?

Lu Ji knew that the first emperor was Prince Gong's younger brother, but even if Prince Gong Fujin was the sister-in-law of the Queen Mother, it shouldn't be such an attitude.

Lu Ji felt that there must be something hidden in it.

"Lu Baolin has always been able to speak well, why is he so quiet today?" the Queen Mother snorted.

Lu Ji came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed his head slightly.

The Queen Mother didn't wait for Lu Ji to answer, she turned her head to speak to Mrs. Xiao, but her eyes were still on Lu Ji, "You don't know, that day she had a clever mouth, turning black and white, and forcibly erased the affairs of the Lu Xue family, as if we really didn't know." ”

"The queen mother and the emperor are aware of everything, and they must have finally let the concubines in, which is also a decision made after careful consideration. ”

Lu Ji smiled gently, and let the Queen Mother's punch hit the soft place.

Seeing the tension between them, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly pulled her up, "Okay, okay, we won't bother you." Ji'er, let's go to your Chuxiu Palace, it just so happens that I panic with the fragrance here. ”

Lu Ji got up and saluted the Queen Mother, and went out with Mrs. Xiao.

"The air of the market, hum. The Queen Mother patted a few times angrily, sneered, and frightened everyone in the room trembling with the teacup, "Suyu, the fragrance is faint, go and change it to a new one!"

After the anger, the Queen Mother's face seemed to show a faint trace of grievance.

The two palace maids carried the glazed palace lamp and walked in front, and Lu Ji helped Mrs. Xiao to follow slowly behind.

Mrs. Xiao put her arms around her, smiling so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

"How did you become Prince Gong Fujin?"

Lu Ji was also very happy to see the old people outside the palace, but she didn't know why she should be called for a while, and it seemed unreasonable to call her "master" again, and it was not something to put on the table.

"You have become the concubine of the Seven Stars, so call me Aunt Qin like him. Mrs. Xiao seemed to see her doubts, and said with a smile, "A teacher for one day and a mother for life, not to mention that now you are also half my daughter-in-law, so you don't have to care about those vulgar etiquette." ”

"Qin" is Mrs. Xiao's name, but what about "Seven Stars"? Is it Zhao Zhiyin's nickname?

Lu Ji couldn't help laughing.

This was the first time Lu Ji felt like going home since he entered the palace, so he couldn't help but shout "Aunt Qin" coquettishly, hugged Mrs. Xiao's arm, and there were some tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Xiao hugged her distressedly, stretched out her left hand and gently scraped the bridge of her slightly straight nose, "Let you marry into the palace without making a sound......!"

Lu Ji burst into tears and smiled, Mrs. Xiao's knife mouth and tofu heart, she was used to seeing it, and she felt even more kind at this time.

As soon as he came out of Cining Gate, he saw a little eunuch Babao beside the emperor hurriedly looking for him with a lantern, first giving Prince Gong Fujin a thousand children, and then saluting Lu Ji and saying: "Little Lord Lu came just in time, the emperor and the little masters of each palace are waiting for you in Chuxiu Palace." ”

Lu Ji was puzzled: "It's all in Chuxiu Palace, what is it like this?"

Babao raised his eyelids and glanced at Mrs. Xiao, "The little master is gone." ”

Mrs. Xiao knew that there must be something important, so she took Lu Ji's hand and said, "Then I will go back today and come back to you another day." ”

Lu Ji was reluctant, and Mrs. Xiao leaned into her ear and whispered: "There are many things that can't be said today, Ji'er, remember one thing first, don't have a body." ”

Lu Ji was taken aback, and his face turned red. But didn't the concubines enter the palace to spread the leaves for the royal family? Why did Mrs. Xiao ask her to "never have a body"?

Mrs. Xiao gently pinched her face and said with a smile, "You are still young." ”

looked around for a while, and said strangely, "What about those girls around you? Why didn't they follow you into the palace?"

"I came in a hurry just now, they weren't around, it was Father-in-law Fuman who brought me here. Lu Ji replied.

"Silly girl, don't dare to go out without anyone anymore!" Mrs. Xiao stroked her face worriedly, and after a few more instructions, she asked her to carry the lamp and send her back.

Babao urged Lu Ji to hurry to Chuxiu Palace.

When I arrived at Chuxiu Palace, sure enough, all the palaces were in the main hall.

Zhao Zhiyin was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals in the Huanghuali Muluo pot in the center of the hall, and the palaces were sitting on the lamp-hung chairs on both sides, and Feng Shaoyi, who was only seen by the Empress Dowager on weekdays, was also at this time.

Peace and joy are also standing with their hands hanging on the side, but Mei Honeysuckle is missing.

The tea brought by the palace maid was almost cold, and no one drank it.

There was a hint of coldness in Zhao Zhiyin's dark eyes.

He never expected that Lu Ji, who seemed to be good with Mei Honeysuckle, would have something to do with Mei Honeysuckle's miscarriage.

As soon as Lu Ji entered the door, he saw Honoka, the little palace maid in his palace, sitting on the ground and crying silently, and seeing that everyone was there, his heart was not good, and he didn't know what trouble it was.

"Lu Baolin, can Mei Cai's miscarriage have anything to do with you?" Zhao Zhiyin had a cold light in his eyes.

Although he did not want to believe it, it was definitely in front of him.

Honoka cried, "This matter has nothing to do with the little master, it's all my own idea!"

Lu Ji was shocked, isn't Honoka's remarks no different from admitting for herself?

Powder fists clenched, trying to calm himself down, quickly analyzing the current shape.

Since there is such a thing, then the miscarriage of Mei Honeysuckle will definitely not be accidental.
