Chapter 101: An Undercurrent Between Brothers

The little eunuch led everyone around, the palace was much bigger than the palace, there were countless pavilions, there were strange flowers and plants everywhere, and the shade of green trees.

Rong Xi came to the palace for the first time, but she didn't have the interest to enjoy the scenery, she just secretly remembered the route in her heart, Leng Yixiu walked beside her and took a step forward, his wide sleeves blocked his fingers, he gently stretched out and hooked her hand.

Rong Xi pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and followed him with peace of mind.

"Isn't this the direction to the Night Cloud Palace?" Leng Yixiu looked around and asked.

"Back to the prince, it is true, the princess is waiting in Xiaoyun Palace." The little eunuch replied.

Leng Yixiu hooked the corners of his lips and smiled coldly.

Rong Xi looked at his smile, his eyes were a little puzzled, and Leng Yixiu's fingers gently scratched her palm: "Xiaoyun Palace used to be Concubine Qian's dormitory, and then she concentrated on Buddhism, so she moved to the Yanbai Pavilion behind Xiaoyun Palace, which was empty, but few people usually go. ”

Rong Xi nodded, thinking in his heart, if there was something strange about this matter, then why should he be in Xiaoyun Palace? What does it mean? She looked at Leng Yixiu, he shook his head, and couldn't think of it for the time being.

The little eunuch led all the way, and finally arrived at Xiaoyun Palace, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he heard the voice of the five princes: "Sister, you are so blessed, although Dacree said that he is only a son of Miao Jiang, but Miao Jiang has an extraordinary significance for the court and his father over the years. ”

There was a faint smile in his voice, and his tone was subdued, and it was not a sincere word when he heard it, and besides, in the kind of wild place in Miaojiang, where wild beasts and poisonous snakes are everywhere, it is really not a good place, the seventh princess is pampered, where has she suffered that kind of suffering?

What's more, maybe when the war between the two sides will ignite, and the ambition of a man will never be trapped in the gentle country, and a princess will be reconciled? What a joke! I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will be killed first, and it will be almost the same as being sacrificed first.

The fifth prince is still talking about good fortune here, and what merit is talking about, it is simply the opposite, sure enough, when he heard the cold smile of the seventh princess, although he tried his best to control it, his voice was still a little sharp, "Is it?" Fifth brother thinks it's a good errand? Why don't you send your princess away, and it can be regarded as your credit? ”

The fifth prince paused, laughed a few times and stopped talking, but a female voice said: "Sister, don't listen to your fifth brother's nonsense, he feels sorry for you, he is reluctant to let you go, just say a few sour words." ”

"Hmph." The seventh princess snorted coldly, obviously not very appreciative.

At this time, the little eunuch who led the way for Leng Yixiu and the others walked to the porch and stood outside the door and said, "Back to the princess, Prince Ning, Princess Ning, King Qi and Mrs. Liu have arrived." ”

There was silence in the room for a few seconds, and then a woman's figure flashed out as the ringing bell and the curtain lifted.

The Seventh Princess stood at the door, she was wearing a set of red palace clothes, thin cloud brocade cloth, smooth and delicate, the neckline was a little high, wrapping the delicate neck, and the sleeves began to become wide from the elbows, like a shaped trumpet flower, embroidered with cumbersome patterns.

The long sleeves showed the pointed fingers, the nails were painted with bright red Kodan, and the lower body was wearing a Luo skirt of the same color, the puffed skirt was layered on top of each other, gorgeous and gorgeous, a yellow belt around the waist, and the slender waist was full of grips.

Her face was a little pale, although she was coated with rouge, she was still a little sickly, there were two pale cyan marks under her eyes, her lips were bright like flowers, but the corners of her mouth were slightly dry, her chin was sharper on a small face, her eyebrows were painted blue and black, a little more sharp, and a pair of eyes under her long eyebrows were like two lit yin fires, constantly jumping.

At this time, her eyes were fixed on Leng Yixiu, and she turned to Rong Xi like a boning.

When she saw Rong Xi, the fire in her eyes lit up instantly, and the sharp fingers under the wide cuffs grabbed the palm, took a few deep breaths, and then smiled: "The third brother and third sister-in-law are here, as well as the starling brother and the eighth sister-in-law, come in." ”

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed by her "eighth sister-in-law", stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "Good sister, I heard that you are going to marry Miaojiang, I cried all night, I am really reluctant to you." ”

The seventh princess's body stiffened slightly, she quietly pulled out her hand, pulled her hair and said: "The eighth sister-in-law really loves me, but I can't make my own decisions about this lifelong event, I still have to obey my father's arrangement, and then it depends on my own life." ”

She paused, turned her gaze to Leng Yixiu, grinned, red lips and bright teeth, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt a little gloomy, "Third brother, did you say?" ”

"This is natural," Leng Yixiu was not afraid of her at all, he leisurely straightened his sleeves, the smile on his face was faint, and he became more and more radiant, "However, Brother Wei still feels that his fate is in his own hands, and it depends on how to do it. ”

When he said this, he saw that the face of the Lord of the Seventh Duke changed, his pale face was a little bruised, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally pulled out a smile, and said word by word: "The third brother taught a lesson. ”

Leng Yixiu ignored her anymore, took Rong Xi's hand and walked into the hall, and the five princes and the five princesses who heard the sound touched Leng Yixiu.

Due to the shocking incident in front of the Zuixiang Building two days ago, the fifth prince was still a little unhappy in his heart, but he said lightly: "Third Emperor Brother, you are still an elder, the seventh sister is about to get married, and you don't forget to train her." ”

The fifth imperial concubine just said that she wanted to salute, but she didn't know what to do by what he said, but Chong Leng Yixiu and Rong Xi, who were a little embarrassed, saluted and didn't say anything.

Rong Xi smiled and said: "It is when the elder brother's beloved sister is worried that she will suffer a loss if she marries, so she can't help but tell a few more words, loyal to the ear, of course my brother and sister have to say something useful, if you choose that nice flattery, wouldn't it be the same as those duplicitous villains?" ”

Leng Yixiu didn't expect Rong Xi to speak for himself, and he was so direct and powerful, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose, and the previous depression in the carriage was also swept away.

The face of the fifth prince changed, what he said before was flattering on the surface, but anyone could hear the irony in it, and now that Rong Xi said it, he couldn't talk back, he just snorted and said: "The third emperor's sister-in-law is so eloquent!" It's not the same as the rumors, next time I hear who said that the third emperor's sister-in-law is cowardly, I must beat him dozens of boards! ”

His last words were murderous, his eyes were staring at Rong Xi, Rong Xi just hooked his lips, "How can the rumors be true?" The fifth prince can not say this kind of thing again, if the father knows, I am afraid that he will reprimand his ears are soft, a few days ago it was rumored that the fifth brother's horse was shocked on the street, I immediately expressed my disbelief, the rumored fifth brother's equestrian skills are first-class. ”

As soon as the fifth prince heard Rong Xi's words, his face suddenly turned white, then turned blue, and then turned red, constantly changing, Rong Xi said two "rumors" in one breath, so that he couldn't answer, he could only grit his teeth and sulk, and finally glared at his wife fiercely, it was really useless, and he couldn't even say a word at a critical time! Look at other people's wives!

Leng Yixiu listened to Rong Xi's words, yesterday was like a harsh winter, and immediately spring blossomed, there were faint laugh lines on the corners of his mouth, and his fingers hooked in Rong Xi's palm.

The fourth prince, who was sitting silently on the side, saw the two people, got up and said, "Third brother and third sister-in-law, you are late." ”

As he spoke, the fourth imperial concubine beside him smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, sit with me." ”

The four imperial concubines wore a water-blue palace dress, embroidered with elegant white patterns, black hair like water, and a green jade hairpin on the left and right, which was moist and transparent, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

Her face is slightly round, her complexion is ruddy, she looks very festive, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she laughs, and there is a small rouge mole in the corner of her eye, which shakes gently with her smile, which is both a little charming and a little playful.

Rong Xi looked at her and felt that she was more eye-catching than the others, the fifth child who came here today was obviously not to deal with, and the eighth child did not have anything on the surface, maybe the most yin was his, in order not to be attacked everywhere, he would form an alliance with this fourth brother who had no malice for the time being.

So, she smiled faintly and said, "Okay." ”

She smiled lightly, and the eyes of the eighth prince lit up again, and even the fifth prince couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and the fourth prince sighed and said, "Alas, it looks like I made a mistake." ”

"What?" Rong Xi asked in some surprise.

"Alas, the third sister-in-law's appearance is so outstanding, I don't want you to be with me yet, doesn't it set off my mediocre appearance, like a green leaf." She pursed her lips as she spoke, but there was a smile on her eyebrows.

Rong Xi couldn't help but laugh, pulled up her skirt and sat down, "Fourth brother and sister, don't make fun of me." ”

The fourth imperial concubine smiled at this time, feeling a little closer to Rong Xi.

"Where's the big brother?" Leng Yixiu looked around and found no trace of the eldest prince.

"Third brother really doesn't know?" The seventh princess said to Leng Yixiu, but her eyes looked at Rong Xi a few times with hatred, and she hated to go up and tear her flower-like face apart, "Big brother...... was forbidden by his father, and he couldn't come out without his will. ”

"Is this true?" Leng Yixiu raised his eyebrows, "This king thought that someone was chewing his tongue, but he didn't think about it...... What did the eldest brother do to anger his father? ”

"It's not ...... yet" The seventh princess's mind came to the events of that day again, in fact, she called the eldest prince on the surface, but she hated it so much in her heart, if it wasn't for him that day, she didn't have the confidence to make random suggestions, how would she have fallen to the point where she is today? And marry Dakley, that damn Miao Jiang barbarian! It's hateful!

"Forget it, my sister doesn't dare to talk nonsense, it won't be good if she brings trouble to her eldest brother again," said the seventh princess, and as she spoke, her eyes flashing with a poisonous light.
