The weather is getting colder and colder, and the end of the fourteenth year of Jiajing is almost over.

After Fan Xi went to the Internal Affairs Office, she knew that Xia Nishang had arranged her affairs early. Her parents and family were waiting outside the palace, waiting for her to go home and go to the New Year together.

Fan Xi was grateful, and he didn't know how to thank Xia Nisheng, so he had to kowtow three times at the gate of the palace, in the direction of Qifeng Palace, and this was a matter.

Of course, these things were all told to Xia Nishang when Ran Tian came back, and Xia Nishang quietly shed tears again, and it was over. After all, she has been with her for so long, and if she doesn't arrange it, Xia Nishang will not be able to put her mind at ease.

After she left, taking care of the three children became the top priority in Qifeng Palace.

Although the three children are taken care of by the nurses, Xia Nishang is still not at ease. However, in this palace, her most trusted Er Lan and Ran Tian are really lacking in skills, and there is no way to allocate extra time to take care of the three children.

"Er Lan, what do you think of Xiaohui?" Xia Nishang has been thinking about it for a long time. In fact, she is not at ease handing over her child to outsiders. After all, even if it was a fan, he was deceived by Chu Jue. Xiao Hui didn't stay in Qifeng Palace for too long, and Xia Nishang didn't know her very well, if what she did before was just a disguise, then those three children would be in danger.

It's just that, maybe it's because of what Xiaohui said to Xia Nishang at the beginning, so Xia Nishang couldn't help but want to give Xiaohui a chance.

Of course, Xiaohui told her that Leng Yechen was critically ill, and later Xia Nishang told Er Lan. It's not that she has any bad intentions, but I just think that this little girl can be so humble and not arrogant, which is a good material.

"Did Niangniang say let Xiaohui take care of the three princes?" Er Lan listened to Xia Nisheng's words and began to think carefully. "It's a smart and sensible child, and when she was taking care of the Seventh Prince before, she also helped the slaves and maids the most. It's just ......"

A moment of hesitation flashed on Er Lan's face, these Xia Ni clothes were all in his eyes.

"It's just that you're afraid that she is deliberately pretending to be like this to make us believe her?" Xia Nishang said. "This palace is also worried about this, so I don't know what to do."

Xia Nishang exhaled softly. She was also afraid, if this Xiaohui was really the same as Chu Jue and Chu Yao at that time, she was inserted by someone. So now that she is asked to take care of her three children, something happens, and Xia Nishang is too late to regret it.

It's just that in this Qifeng Palace, there is no more suitable candidate than her, so Xia Nishang is so troubled.

"Mother, why don't we try it first?" Er Lan looked at Xia Nishang's hesitant expression, and didn't know what to do. "The slave will secretly keep an eye on her, and once she finds something, she can withdraw immediately."

"Now it seems that this is the only way to do it." Xia Nishang sighed, feeling very helpless. In such a huge palace, there is not even a person who can be trusted, which really makes her feel very sad. "You go and call her over, this palace should tell her well."

"Yes, sissy." Erlan owed, and walked out.

Xiaohui got smallpox when she was young, so she was transferred to Leng Yechenting's side to take care of it some time ago. After Leng Yechenting's body completely improved, she also returned to the back garden to be her sprinkler and sweeper.

Now the weather outside is getting colder and colder, and the flowers in the back garden are almost withered, so Xiaohui doesn't have much work during this time, just occasionally goes to clear the snow and clean up the back garden.

When Erlan passed, she was in the ear room, holding a piece of sapphire blue cloth in her hand, and she didn't know what she was embroidering.

"Sister Erlan, why are you here?" Xiao Hui was concentrating on embroidering things, but she felt that someone came in at the door, so she raised her head and looked at the door, and happened to see Er Lan standing against the door frame, looking at her thoughtfully.

Xiao Hui suddenly understood, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she hurriedly stuffed the things in her hand into the quilt, and then stood up in a hurry.

"Are you sewing something?" Er Lan said with a smile. "The queen has something to do that she wants you to come over."

Erlan didn't ask much, she had never been a special gossip person.

"The Queen?" A trace of astonishment crossed Xiao Hui's face, as if she didn't know why Xia Nishang wanted to see her. "The slave and maid will pass."

"Well, let's go." As she spoke, Er Lan took Xiaohui's hand and walked towards Xia Nishang's bedroom.

"Queen Mother, Xiaohui is here." Er Lan knocked on the door and said softly. It wasn't until Xia Nishang let them in that she gently pushed open the door of the house.

Although Er Lan and Xia Nishang are sometimes neither big nor small on weekdays, but when there are outsiders, she still understands the rules very well.

After Er Lan pushed the door open, she let Xiaohui go in by herself, while she was guarding the door. Er Lan knew that Xia Nishang had something to tell Xiaohui, and at this time, it was best if she was not present.

"Slave maid see the queen's mother, mother's mother." Xiao Hui's expression shrank slightly, and her fingers trembled slightly.

"Well, sit down." Xia Nishang smiled and pointed to the little pestle in front of her and said.

Anyway, Xiaohui was sleepless at that time to take care of Leng Yechenting, there was still hard work without merit, Xia Nishang never thought of harsh her.

"Thank you for the reward." Xiaohui didn't understand what she meant, but obediently leaned on the side of the little pestle and sat down gently.

In fact, she only built a side, and she didn't even sit on half of the stool, as if she would fall down if she was not careful.

Xia Nishang looked at her a little scared, and couldn't help but smile lightly in her heart, but her face was still solemn.

"If, this palace asks you to take care of the Seventh Prince, are you willing?" Xia Nishang has always been a talkative person, and she doesn't like to beat around the bush. Besides, if Xiaohui was really inserted by someone else, it would be useless for her to say anything.

"The Queen?" But I didn't know that Xiao Hui listened to Xia Nishang's words, and her eyes widened, and she looked at Xia Nishang in a daze, looking very incredible.

"What? Don't you want to? Xia Nishang's lips were slightly raised, and she said a little jokingly.

"No, it's not." Xiao Hui reacted at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said. "The slave just never thought about it."

Xiaohui's hands were folded together, and it could be seen that she was very nervous.

"It's okay, just say whatever you want." Xia Nishang is very generous. Since she wants to give Xiaohui this opportunity, she naturally wants to hear what she thinks in her heart.

"Slave. Slave willing! Xiaohui looked at Xia Nishang for a while, then lowered her head and thought for a while, then she raised her head and nodded at Xia Nisheng.

"You have to think about it, if it is next, then the palace will hand over those three children to you." Xia Nishang couldn't help but smile when she looked at Xiaohui's nodding appearance. "You also know that Fan Xi has already left Qifeng Palace, so this palace must choose a reliable person to take care of them, if something happens, this palace will not spare it."

Of course Megumi knows those things. I heard that Sister Fan Xi is because she trusts others too much, so that the Seven Princes and even the entire Qifeng Palace will fall into a very dangerous situation.

If it weren't for this, with the character of the queen, she would never have let her leave.

"Slave, can you go back and think about it?" Xiaohui said with some struggle.

She is not very old, she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is a child herself, she really doesn't know how to answer Xia Nishang for handing over such an important matter to her.

"Okay, this palace gives you time, and I hope you can think about it." Xia Nishang said with satisfaction. If Xiaohui agreed too quickly, then Xia Nishang might think that she was prepared. Looking at her hesitant appearance now, it also deepened Xia Nishang's trust in her.

"Thank you to the queen mother, the slave will definitely think carefully when she goes back." Although Xiaohui was still a little nervous, a smile slowly appeared on her face.

"Well, you can retreat first, and if you think about it, come to this palace." Xia Nishang said soothingly. "However, don't think about it for too long, those three children are not at ease."

"Yes, slave maid understands." Xiao Hui stood up and blessed Xia Nishang before continuing. "Then the slave will retire first, the queen."

"Go ahead." Xia Nishang waved her hand and said to Xiaohui with a smile.

After Xiaohui left, Er Lan walked in, looked at Xia Nisheng's face, and said with a smile.

"It seems that this candidate for the queen mother is a good candidate." Although Er Lan was standing outside, she could hear the movements in the room clearly, and she couldn't help but start to think that Xiaohui might be really good.

"Hongu thinks so too." Xia Nishang nodded unceremoniously in the face of Er Lan's praise for a long time, and both the master and servant couldn't help laughing.

"I hope this palace won't look away." Xia Nishang sighed softly, and then said slowly. For the sake of those three children, Xia Nishang really took great pains, for fear that there would be a trace of badness, and she didn't dare to take it lightly.

Xia Nishang looked at the heavy snow outside, and an incomprehensible expression appeared on her face.
