A woman of such an age is surrounded by Wang Minhui and the Liu family, and a clear-eyed person can guess that this woman's identity must be extraordinary, not to mention that Sima Daozi is following behind her.

The few girls who accompanied her behind her were all dressed up in the palace, Tao Ge had followed Princess Yuyao into the palace by mistake when she was in the Wang family, and she still remembered the dress of the palace maid.

If this person is not the Empress Dowager Chu, it must be Concubine Li.

Chongde Empress Dowager Chu garlic she has seen, not like this.

Tao Ge smiled: "Can the princess and Aunt Liu be so respected, who else can there be besides you Concubine Li, could it be the Empress Dowager Chu?"

Although Concubine Li and Empress Dowager Chu are elders and the latter are juniors, there are often discords between the two, and now Tao Ge's words have elevated Concubine Li and belittled Empress Dowager Chu, and Concubine Li is naturally happy.

But behind this smile, there is a disgust.

If someone else said this, Concubine Li would naturally like it in her heart, but Tao Ge's face looked like Wang Fahui, and her words were self-defeating.

First, Concubine Li has always been dissatisfied with Wang Fahui, because she caused discord between Sima Yao and Sima Daozi.

Second, Tao Ge's face was born like Wang Fahui, and it happened to be after the Xiao family of Lanling, but now she is living in the palace, in her opinion, this Tao Ge is very likely to be an eyeliner placed by the Xiao family next to Sima Daozi.

In addition, Sima Daozi likes her again, and Concubine Li naturally becomes more and more suspicious of her.

Concubine Li is still with Tao Ge and her face, and when she looks at her, her eyes are doting.

Tao Ge naturally felt it, but the doting in her eyes was completely different from the look in Sima Daozi's eyes when he looked at her.

Concubine Li smiled: "Good boy, this little mouth is quite sweet."

After that, Concubine Li deliberately said again: "This face is also good-looking."

Sima Daozi's face stiffened when he heard this, the mother concubine said this, didn't she want to go into the palace to tell the royal brother about it? !

Tao Ge replied, "Thank you for the compliment."

Wang Minhui smiled without a trace, she knew that Concubine Li had always had a deep prejudice against Wang Fahui, and now that she saw Tao Ge, she must have disliked her from the bottom of her heart.

Tao Ge, Tao Ge, this can't be blamed on others, if you want to blame it, blame your face, but you were born exactly like your cousin.

Concubine Li asked again, "How old are you now?"

"Back to the concubine, it's twelve."

Concubine Li bowed her head slightly and said, "It's still small, it's still small." I think Wang Fahui entered the palace at the age of sixteen.

She is only twelve years old, is the Xiao family in a hurry?

Concubine Li is afraid that she has already determined that Tao Ge is the eyeliner that the Xiao family planted next to Sima Daozi.

Concubine Li said that, nodded again, then looked up at the sky, and said, "I'm afraid it's not too early this day, and the mourning family has to go back to the palace."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu again, patted her hand, and advised, "Guanyin has to be careful of her stomach these days."

Tao Ge was slightly stunned when she heard this, and Concubine Li then said: "What can you eat, what you can't eat, and the maids and women around you have to pay attention to it."

Liu's head agreed.

Tao Ge was stunned, why did Concubine Li say this, isn't Aunt Liu pregnant......

She raised her eyes to look at Sima Daozi.

Sima Daozi also looked at her, but his eyes always seemed to be a little evasive.

Concubine Li turned around to leave, but Sima Daozi turned around to avoid Tao Ge's gaze, looked at Concubine Li's back and called: "Mother!"

Concubine Li turned around when she heard the call, and when she saw Sima Daozi frowning slightly, knowing his thoughts, she smiled and said, "The emperor's thoughts, the mother concubine understands."

After that, Concubine Li turned around and left, and Sima Daozi was a little relieved.

Sima Daozi turned around, glanced at Tao Ge, and saw that her eyes were slightly dim, and he couldn't explain Liu's matter to her for a while, so he also turned around and left.

Everyone also followed him out of the North Garden, but Tao Ge was the only one who was still standing under the old locust tree in the courtyard.

A gust of wind blew, and the red lings that were originally hanging on the tree also floated down and surrounded Tao Ge's body.

When Concubine Li left the palace, she went straight to the carriage outside the door, and said in her mouth: "That girl of the Xiao family just now must be the eyeliner that the head of the Xiao family has placed next to Daozi!"

The eunuch who followed beside him seemed puzzled and asked, "How can the concubine see it?"

Concubine Li said: "Xiao Juan is the eldest granddaughter of the Xiao family, and the maternal line is also the Hongnong Yang family, she is not only Xiao Juan's sister-in-law, but also naturally a descendant, the Xiao family has a big business, can't you afford to raise a granddaughter?" Her face is exactly the same as that cheap embryo, how could the head of the Xiao family not know that he sent her to the palace, this is not a deliberate eyeliner, what is it! ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, gritted her teeth and said: "If Xiao Juan marries into the palace, it is also the Xiao family's other plans, the mourning family was still thinking back then, the eldest granddaughter of the Xiao family was willing to be a concubine, and now look at it, the Xiao family is loyal to Yao'er, and it is really generous, and it is actually sent two granddaughters in a row!"

The Xiao family has always been directly loyal to Sima Yao, and Sima Yao suspected that Sima Daozi had the intention of plotting to usurp the throne, so he arranged for the Xiao family girl to monitor Sima Daozi's every move, which also makes sense.

Although Concubine Li said that Tao Ge was the eyeliner of the Xiao family, it was Sima Yao who was suspicious in her heart.

"Concubine, then, do we want to ......" The eunuch looked at her, raised his hand around his neck, and made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Concubine Li shook her head and said, "No, it's too early, this girl, after all, is the Lanling Xiao family, so we can't act rashly."

The eunuch said: "Concubine, then you can't let this little girl play the prince like a monkey!"

"What are you panicking about! If she dies, Daozi will definitely suspect the mourning family, do you think he hates the mourning family for the rest of his life?" Concubine Li chuckled, and then said: "Guanyin is still pregnant with a child in her belly, how can the mourning family, who is the emperor's grandmother, kill."

The implication is that it is better to wait for Liu to give birth to the child in the coming year, and it is not too late to do it then.

Concubine Li said that, and was helped into the carriage by the eunuch.

The carriage then left the palace.

Looking at Beiyuan again, everyone left, Ziji opened the door and came out, walked towards Tao Ge, took off the red lings wrapped around her body for her, and pretended to ask casually, "Who is here?"

Since the last incident, Tao Ge has always ignored Ziji, and Ziji has always been looking for something to talk to her.

Even she was too guilty to say anything to her.

Tao Ge turned around and walked into the house, not looking at her, but said lightly: "It's Concubine Li who is here."

Ziji nodded, looking quite embarrassed.

Tao Ge walked to the door of the house, pushed the door open, and was about to enter, but stopped and turned around, looked at Ziji, and called, "Sister Ziji."

Ziji suddenly heard her call like this, but she didn't feel comfortable, and responded in a slight stunned voice.

Tao Ge said: "Aunt Liu is pregnant, count the days, you have to be careful these days."

Tao Ge remembered that Ziji's monthly letter usually lingered in these days.

Ziji knew what she meant, and smiled bitterly, she wanted to tell her that in fact, nothing had happened between her and my prince.

But it's all the meaning of the prince, how can she tell her...... (To be continued.) )
