Concubine Huangxian didn't hear anything in Murong Xuanji's words, thinking that she was saying that Xuanyuan Jue and Yan Qing had a fate, the expression on her face finally relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about them, let's talk about something else, after the third prince brought the imperial concubine back this time, the imperial concubine's body has not been very good, and the emperor has never gone to visit her." ”

Concubine Huangxian lowered her head, Murong Xuanji couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but from the tone of her voice, she could still hear her concern for the imperial concubine.

"I think the imperial concubine has a heart disease, as long as the depression in her heart dissipates, everything will be fine." Murong Xuanji said bluntly, seeing the imperial concubine raise her head in surprise, she smiled calmly and said: "The queen is the depression in the imperial concubine's heart. ”

"You mean-" Concubine Huangxian didn't finish her words, but Murong Xuanji had already guessed what she was going to say, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing the half-believing appearance of the imperial concubine, Murong Xuanji kindly explained: "The queen lost power before, and the imperial concubine was so arrogant and powerful in the harem, do you want to hate her according to the queen's character, can you not remember?" Think about it again, why did the imperial concubine leave the palace before, and she was able to return to the palace this time, wasn't it because of the queen's words to the third prince? ”

Murong Xuanji's words made the Imperial Concubine suddenly realize, and nodded approvingly, "You're right, but I don't think the Empress is as scary as before, and today she is still enjoying the flowers and chatting with me and the Imperial Concubine, and I don't see her hostility towards the Imperial Concubine at all." ”

Looking at the blank look on Concubine Huangxian's face, Murong Xuanji just smiled and did not continue to explain, but changed the topic and asked cautiously tentatively: "Today's sunshine is very good, it is indeed suitable for enjoying flowers, I didn't expect the three of you to enjoy flowers together." ”

"This is also a coincidence, the imperial concubine came when I was enjoying the flowers, I chatted with the imperial concubine for a few words, and the queen also came." Although the Imperial Concubine did not find out Murong Xuanji's thoughts, she was also smart not to tell Murong Xuanji what the Imperial Concubine had said to her.

"It seems that the flowers in the Imperial Garden should be very beautiful, otherwise why would the three of you go to enjoy the flowers together." Murong Xuanji said with a smile, the expression on her face made people not doubt the sincerity of the smile on her face, but only Murong Xuanji herself knew that what she said was actually sarcastic.

"Okay, call that Yan Qing at that time, and create some opportunities for her and the Eighth Prince to get along. I believe that as long as I get along with Qing'er for a long time, the Eighth Prince will no longer resist Qing'er so much. Concubine Huangxian said confidently.

Murong Xuanji smiled in response, glanced at Baoqing worriedly, and said politely to the Imperial Concubine, "I should go back, otherwise it will be dark in a short time." ”

"Good! Come into the palace more often when you have time to accompany me. The Imperial Concubine smiled and sent Murong Xuanji away, and after returning to the inner room, the words that the Imperial Concubine said to her came to mind, but whenever she was a little shaken, the queen's words immediately appeared, which made her have a headache.

"Baoqing, you heard the words of the Imperial Concubine, she already has a favorite candidate for the Eighth Imperial Concubine in her heart, so do you still want to be with the Eighth Imperial Prince?" Murong Xuanji and Baoqing asked her solemnly as they walked towards the palace gate.

During this time, seeing the relationship between Baoqing and Xuanyuan Jue growing by leaps and bounds, Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao were very worried, worried that Baoqing would be immersed in this relationship too quickly, and worried that they would be hurt in the end, so after thinking about it, Murong Xuanji decided to take Baoqing to meet the imperial concubine, so that she could really feel the obstacles between her and Xuanyuan Jue.

Baoqing didn't answer Murong Xuanji immediately, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "Miss, I think very clearly, I am willing to continue to be with the Eighth Prince." Even if we can't be together in the future, at least we have a pleasant memory between us that I can slowly reminisce about in the future. ”

Looking at such a strong Baoqing, Murong Xuanji didn't speak anymore, and walked out of the palace gate in silence and got into the carriage.

"Miss, that, who is that Miss Yan Qing? Why does Concubine Huangxian like her so much? On the way home, Baoqing broke the silence in the carriage and asked Murong Xuanji in a whisper.

Murong Xuanji looked at Baoqing with her head down, and said calmly: "That Yan Qing is the pearl of Yan Song, the secretary of the ministry, the reason why the imperial concubine likes her so much is because her identity is the best among the other daughters, and it is more than enough to match the eighth prince." ”

Murong Xuanji's words were like a sharp sword stabbing at Baoqing's chest, Baoqing endured the pain in his heart and raised his head to look at Murong Xuanji, the helplessness in his eyes made Murong Xuanji a little unbearable.

"Baoqing, this is just the beginning, and more painful things than this are still to come in the future." Murong Xuanji endured the reluctance in her heart and continued to say cruel words, "Although the Imperial Concubine loves the Eighth Prince, she will never give in on marriage, you can't become the only one of the Eighth Prince, even if she accepts you, you are just a concubine in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, are you willing to share a husband with other women?" ”

"Miss, please, don't say any more." Baoqing begged Murong Xuanji uncomfortably.

Murong Xuanji sighed heavily, took Baoqing's hand and said: "I don't mean to make you uncomfortable, I just want you to recognize the reality, there are two roads in front of you, one is the road with the Eighth Prince, and the other is the road without the Eighth Prince, I just told you the difficulties that these two roads will encounter in advance." ”

"I, I'll think about it." Baoqing lowered his head and said in a choked voice.

The carriage fell into silence again, and after returning to the mansion, Murong Xuanji asked Baoqing to go back to the house to rest first, and walked to the study by himself, and saw that Xuanyuan Hao was still busy in the study.

Seeing Xuanyuan Hao, who was immersed in the folding, Murong Xuanji made a silent gesture towards the secret language, and then waved his hand to let him go out first.

"Husband!" Murong Xuanji called out Xuanyuan Hao softly, walked behind him and thoughtfully massaged his shoulder.

"When did you come back?" Xuanyuan Hao pulled Murong Xuanji to his side, reluctant to let her massage herself, and saw her sullen appearance and asked with concern: "What's the matter, didn't it go well to enter the palace this time?" Or did you encounter something unhappy? ”

"Nope!" Murong Xuanji held her forehead and said a little tiredly: "This time I entered the palace to see the imperial concubine, she insisted in front of Baoqing that she wanted that Yan Qing to be the princess of the eighth prince, and she also said a lot of good things about her, Yanran has already treated her as a daughter-in-law." ”

"Baoqing must be sad." Xuanyuan Hao finally knew the reason why Murong Xuanji was unhappy, and gently opened his mouth to comfort: "Long pain is better than short pain, it is also a good thing to let Baoqing know as soon as possible, if she knows that there are so difficulties waiting for her in the future, and she still chooses to be with the Eighth Emperor Brother without hesitation, then they will definitely have the confidence to overcome everything, but if she doesn't have that confidence, it is better to let go of each other as soon as possible and let each other be free." ”

"That's true, but I don't feel good when I see her sad." Murong Xuanji said listlessly, "Identity, from ancient times to the present, has been an unbridgeable gap. ”

Xuanyuan Hao listened to Murong Xuanji's emotion helplessly, just smiled dotingly, and continued to look at the twists and turns in front of him.

Murong Xuanji didn't care, she continued to immerse herself in her thoughts, and after a long time, she cheered up and looked at Xuanyuan Hao and said, "Today I went to chat with Concubine Huangxian, do you know what she said?" In addition to her today, there are also the queen and the imperial concubine enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden together, do you think the queen forgave the imperial concubine so easily? ”

Murong Xuanji's words made Xuanyuan Hao's hand pause, put down the pen and looked at Murong Xuanji with a serious face and asked: "The queen is not such an open-minded person, I was suspicious of her sudden change before, and now seeing her attitude towards the imperial concubine makes me even more sure that she is pretending." ”

Murong Xuanji nodded, and told Xuanyuan Hao roughly what he and Concubine Huangxian said, "I always feel that Concubine Huangxian has something to hide from me, and I didn't say it, she has been worried since she came back from the Imperial Garden." ”

"What do you think the Imperial Concubine will hide from you?" Xuanyuan Hao asked Murong Xuanji calmly, "After all, she is the mother concubine of the Eighth Emperor Brother, and I don't want to doubt her." ”

"I admit that Concubine Huangxian used to be very good to us, but I am worried that she will be provoked and misled by some people, and what people are most afraid of is distraction." Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao earnestly, seeing that he also had a heavy face because of his words, and he couldn't help but say something.
