Wei Guifei paused, and continued: "Long white hair is just the law of natural aging, if you let your father know, you must think that your mother is made of porcelain, and doing these things in ordinary times is actually called hard work." ”

"Mother is right." Leng Yixiu smiled and said something that would prevail everywhere.

Immediately, there was silence again.

Wei Guifei secretly observed Leng Yixiu, the adopted son in front of him has become more and more handsome with the passage of time and age, and the gaze in those eyes has become more and more cold, unconsciously, I don't know when it started, in front of this son, I have gradually become pressured, and many times I have to look at his face.

Moreover, this son's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess, facing him, it is always like facing an endless and deep sea, not knowing the depth, not knowing the joy and anger, and not knowing anything.

Like, what exactly is he thinking now? And for what? Wei Guifei suddenly felt that she thought he was here for that dress, and she couldn't say anything.

So silent, even the air seemed to become a little thinner, making it a little difficult for people to breathe, and she was thinking about how to speak, when the little palace maid who made tea walked in.

"Lord Wang, please use tea." The little palace maid said respectfully.

In a word, the embarrassing silence was finally broken.

Leng Yixiu responded lightly, raised his hand to pick up the teacup, sniffed it under his nose, and the hot air came out from the bottom of the lid, making his eyebrows and eyes look more and more blurred, "This tea is really good, the tea here is really good." ”

Wei Guifei hurriedly smiled and said, "If you like it, bring some back, a little tea is nothing." ”

Leng Yixiu put down the teacup, curled his lips and said, "Rong Xi has already received the great gift of the mother concubine today, how can the son take the good tea of the mother concubine again?" ”

When Wei Guifei heard him mention the dress, her heart couldn't help but relax slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled, and her eyes flashed with love, "You mean that dress?" What do you think? Does Rong Xi still like it? ”

Leng Yixiu didn't answer her question, his eyes were fixed on her, he met her smile, and didn't say a word.

Wei Guifei suddenly felt that his gaze was like a knife, coldly cut, inch by inch, the smile on her face was cut to pieces, she already felt that something was wrong, and this feeling must be related to that dress, this son's expression is so clear, if she can't see it anymore, she will be floating in this palace for many years.

"Mother," Leng Yixiu finally spoke again, "If Erchen is not mistaken, that dress was given to you by your father, how could you be willing to give it to Rong Xi?" ”

Wei Guifei listened to his question, and between the lines, she was obviously sorry for her, knowing the preciousness of that dress, but her tone was completely different, it sounded more like a question.

She took a breath, "That dress was indeed given to this palace by your father, and this palace also likes it very much, but ...... This palace has always felt a little indebted to Rong Xi, she didn't love her well before, she has been married to you for so many years, and she hasn't given her anything, she was not in good health before, and she rarely came to the palace, these two times, the mother felt that she was very good, and she also felt that she should be rewarded with something, which was to make up for the debt in the past few years. ”

"It's just a piece of clothing, no matter how precious it is, it's just a piece of clothing, compared to Rong Xi, who is pregnant with a royal descendant, it's nothing, but only this kind of thing can be worthy of her," Wei Guifei's eyes looked into the distance, her side face exuded a soft light, she had to be, she was also very well maintained, "Although Bengong didn't see it, just thinking about it, I also felt that Rong Xi must be much more beautiful than Bengong when she wore that dress." ”

"Mother," Leng Yixiu interrupted her affectionate soft voice, "that dress...... Are there any questions? ”

His words were like a knife, with a "snort", the tip of the knife went forward and upward, and with a slight cut, it cut the love and gentleness created by Wei Guifei to pieces.

Wei Guifei turned her head and was stunned there, her eyes were full of unbelievable light, the face of the lady in charge had already turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Lord Wang!" You've wronged a mother! ”

She knelt down and climbed forward, bowed deeply, and was about to say something, Leng Yixiu's voice rolled to the ground like ice beads, and the cold came straight in front of her, "This king is talking to his mother, it's not your turn yet, get down!" ”

In a word, the words that the mother in charge was about to spit out were blocked, leaving no room for it.

Wei Guifei also recovered from the shock just now, her face became more and more pale, and she smiled reluctantly, "Xiu'er, what are you...... What do you mean? ”

"Mother," Leng Yixiu's face did not change in the slightest, and his eyes did not give in the slightest, he looked at her straight and said: "Erchen didn't mean anything, he just wanted to ask his mother, whether there was a problem with that dress, thinking that the mother concubine gave Rongxi the dress to let her wear, Erchen didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest." ”

Wei Guifei smiled helplessly, and there was also a little displeasure in her tone, "This palace just wants to express a heart, I don't want you to be grateful, but I don't want to arouse suspicion, Xiu'er, do you say yes or no?" ”

"The mother concubine said very much," Leng Yixiu replied quickly, "The son also thinks so, but the mother concubine doesn't know how to explain it, how to explain the inexplicable aroma on that dress?" ”

"Aroma?" Wei Guifei was stunned, and her heart couldn't help but sink slightly, although she has always loved incense, but she is not like other concubines, who smoke incense on her clothes, but only add incense to her body, or bathe, or use incense powder, she doesn't want her body to be pale after taking off her clothes.

Therefore, there will only be a faint body fragrance on her clothes, but she has not worn that dress for a long time, how can there still be a fragrance?

Thinking of this, she also had a bad premonition in her heart.

She looked sideways at the lady in charge, who was also at a loss, shook her head slightly, Wei Guifei turned her head and said to Leng Yixiu: "That dress has not been worn in this palace for a long time, and this palace has never used incense to smoke that dress, I don't think there should be a fragrance." ”

"Erchen naturally knows," Leng Yixiu smiled very slowly, revealing his snow-white teeth, but it made Wei Guifei's heart cold, "Erchen, like his mother, also remembered many of his mother's preferences, so Erchen was even more curious about the fragrance, and that fragrance was also real, what is it...... Where did it come from? ”

Wei Guifei's breathing quickened slightly, she already understood what Leng Yixiu meant, he didn't come to thank him at all, but found a poisonous aroma on the gorgeous dress he gave to Rong Xi, this is to inquire.

Her fingers unconsciously grasped the red gold and sapphire on the edge of the table, the cold red gold was held in the hot palm, she only felt that the luck of these days was really bad, every time things were like a hand of fate quietly flipping, often contrary to her own wishes.

"I don't know," Wei Guifei finally whispered after trying to recover her thoughts for a long time.

She really didn't know that the conscience of heaven and earth, she really just wanted to make friends with Ning Wangfu this time, and make a gesture to Leng Yixiu.

Her language was faint, like the autumn wind blowing in from the window, with a bit of gloomy meaning, "This palace is ...... to you Maybe there was not enough care in the past, but there was never malice, and it was also for Rong Xi, and the palace also felt indebted to her, and she had never fulfilled her mother-in-law's mind, she was now pregnant, and that day something like that happened here in the palace, in fact, the palace sent that dress just a little expression of heart and ...... Apologies and nothing else. ”

As she spoke, she slowly turned her head, and the smile on the corner of her mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness, "Xiu'er, although this palace is in the harem, but its eyes are bright and its heart is bright, the prince is withering, and this palace has categorically not supported the reason of other princes, and it will be relied on in the future...... It's only you, this palace can't think of a reason to be an enemy of you, and this palace also knows that hurting Rong Xi is the most unacceptable thing for you. ”

Leng Yixiu's eyebrows were slightly raised, his long and jet-black eyebrows were like a sharp sword, he had to admit that this was the first time he had heard Wei Guifei say such straightforward words, without superfluous politeness and hypocritical words, and even begged with her slightly after speaking.

Leng Yixiu naturally understood what Wei Guifei meant, but he didn't completely believe that it was about Rong Xi, as Wei Guifei just said, hurting Rong Xi was the most unacceptable to him, and he couldn't be sloppy in the slightest.

After all, in this harem, the most important thing is to deceive.

He smiled faintly, "The concubine is serious, can the son ask how the concubine remembered to give Rongxi that dress?" You have a lot of good things here, why did you choose clothes? ”

When Wei Guifei heard his words, she knew that he didn't fully believe it, and said with a wry smile: "This palace is just a temporary idea, and it is a coincidence that I overheard the two little palace maids talking about the reopening of the big competition, saying that those noble ladies and ladies are all dressed rich and outstanding, and this palace thinks that it can't let Rong Xi fall down, if it is gorgeous, this palace doesn't think that there is any other dress that can compare to the clothes in this palace, as for the jewelry...... It's just the icing on the cake, not as dazzling and direct as clothes. So, I asked Mama Liu to find it out of the box and take it out to give it away. ”

Leng Yixiu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was secretly thinking to himself in his heart, so it made sense, but it was just ...... Those two little palace maids, did they unintentionally talk about it or did they deliberately remind them? This is not known.

He turned his head to look at the lady in charge who was kneeling on the ground, "You sent it?" ”

The lady in charge hurriedly kowtowed again and said, "If you go back to the prince, the old slave personally sent it." ”

Leng Yixiu looked at her with a cold gaze.
