The palace maid Liuli heard the hurried footsteps, and Xiao Hanyu naturally had no reason not to hear it. The two of them turned around, raised their eyes, and saw several men dressed as guards walking in three steps and two steps.

"Subordinates, see the county lord!" It's just that as soon as they stood still, they knelt down towards a little girl who didn't understand anything, and they were also drunk with the girl holding the little girl.

Let's get up - these four words should have been issued by Liuli, the personal maid of the lord of Xiangming, but now it is different from the past, right now, the dignified eighteen princesses of Dongzan are here, and she is a soft-spoken minion, so she can't cross the high-ranking princess and "fox fake tiger might" in front of her, right?

Yes, Liuli looked at Xiao Hanyu in front of her with some hesitation, and watched her hold her master while opening her lips without ripples: "Don't kneel, get up." ”

"......" A group of big men heard the unfamiliar female voice, and they couldn't help but want to look at each other for a while.

However, after a while, when they saw that the palace maid serving the county lord had not spoken, they still stood up in an orderly manner, and looked at the little girl who was holding the girl tightly.

"County Lord......"

Then, their gaze involuntarily shifted to Xiao Hanyu's face.

"I'm Princess Minning of Dongzan."

Xiao Hanyu took the initiative to report his identity, thought about it, and said calmly: "Where does your county lord live?" I sent her back. ”

As soon as these words came out, several big men really looked at each other. However, after a while, they still did not dare to disobey the order of the princess, so they respectfully complied, escorting the two nobles, one large and one small, all the way to the little lord's bedroom.

Looking at a dormitory that was more splendid than the palace where he settled alone, Xiao Hanyu tilted his neck slightly and was stunned for a while, and then silently stepped into the threshold with the little guy in his arms.

As soon as she entered the back room, as if she had decided that her "mother" would accompany her, the county lord of Xiangming took the initiative to let go of her two little arms, and the gentle "mother" scrubbed her face. Liuli saw that the princess of this foreign country seemed to be quite good at taking care of the children, and she didn't seem to have any bad intentions, so she let it go and waited on the side.

After about two teas, Xiao Hanyu coaxed the little guy to sleep with ease, and sat on the edge of the bed with great patience, gently patting her little hand, and waited until the little guy fell asleep, she crept up from the bed, looked at Liuli, and then looked towards the outhouse, and raised her chin very casually.

This meaning, Liuli can understand, it is nothing more than calling her to go outside to talk - it's just that, at the same time, she can't help but feel that the maternal aura she saw at the right time is not an illusion?

In any case, it was impossible to reconcile that gentle and kind face with the present casual and playful face, and the woman who had spent her years of life came back to her senses coldly, and hurriedly kept up with the girl's pace.

From her mouth, Xiao Hanyu asked the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that the mother of the lord of Xiangming, Princess Lian, died suddenly less than three years after giving birth to her daughter. The year after the death of his biological mother, the father of the little one, the second prince of the first emperor, also died due to excessive grief, leaving the young only daughter alone in this world. Fortunately, the current prince, that is, the eldest uncle of the little county lord, is kind-hearted, and feels sorry for the little niece's loneliness, so he directly took the person from the palace to the palace and ordered someone to take care of it carefully.

Yes, the little lord of Xiangming has been living in the palace of Nanshu for nearly two years, and this time, somehow, she who usually doesn't cry or make trouble, suddenly mistook Xiao Hanyu, who had never met before, for her own mother, which caught people off guard.

Hearing this, the girl raised one of her arms and sniffed vigorously at the sleeve of her coat.

She has changed her clothes, how can the smell of this incense powder still make a four or five-year-old child smell it?

Xiao Hanyu felt that this was due to her father who liked beauty - who let him stay in the gentle countryside from time to time, and help him with the three palaces and six courtyards, what kind of rouge gouache and balm Qingdai are studied?

Speaking of which, the incense powder she used was made by her father and concubine.

So...... Why is the incense powder you mix the same as that used by the princess of Shu?

Xiao Hanyu was a little helpless, although she didn't hate the county lord of Xiangming - and even liked her, but this didn't mean that she could be her mother in a daze!

For this reason, he must be ruthless and secretly disappear into her life while the little one is asleep.

Poor little Xiangxiang, you should think of it as a sweet dream!

Princess Mingning, who was thinking about it, gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and returned to her own bedroom without looking back, but she didn't know that at this time, some rumors were spreading rapidly in all corners of the palace.

As soon as the princess sent by Zanguo stepped into the palace, the emperor of their Shu Kingdom passed away, which made it difficult to think too much.

Therefore, in less than two days, Xiao Hanyu didn't see the county lord of Xiangming who opened his arms to hug her, but gradually felt the strange eyes from all around.

That kind of gaze, she is very familiar, just like when she first entered the palace three years ago, whether it is the palace maids, eunuchs, concubines, and imperial heirs of Dongzan, most of them look at her with such disgusted eyes.

It's just that she doesn't understand, the first two days were fine, at most she was not very enthusiastic, how could these palace people from other countries be hostile to her in the blink of an eye? She didn't do anything!

The girl in the prime of her life felt very wronged, and it was not until the scarlet snow who served her found some rumors from outside the hall that the master and servant suddenly realized.

What the!? This old emperor of Nanshu is dead, what is she doing? She didn't kill her!

Xiao Hanyu, who was not angry, was about to shoot the case, but after thinking about it, she didn't necessarily have to find a dead man's theory?

"Thanks to your master, you still wear linen and filial piety for the first emperor of Shu Kingdom! They're talking about you behind your back...... The crown prince of Shu doesn't care about ......"

As the saying goes, "things gather by like, people by groups", Xiao Hanyu, who is the master, is a person who doesn't like to wronged herself, and Scarlet Xue, as a maid who serves her, is also a person who has something to say - anyway, there are just two of them in the house right now, if you don't fight for the master at this time, when will you wait?

When Xiao Hanyu heard this, she patted the back of Feixue's hand with relief, saying that she had not treated her well in vain.

"Speaking of which, master, how many days have passed, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the prince of Shu. The slave heard that he didn't summon General Lan either, so he just hung us aside! ”

Seeing that his master was facing himself, Scarlet Snow became more and more bold, so she mentioned it unconvincingly.

It is! This prince of Raushzi is not a good stubble nine times out of ten!

As soon as Xiao Hanyu wanted to show that "the hero sees the same thing", the open little mouth closed suddenly.

"Ahem......" She cleared her throat without warning, and swallowed back when the words came to her mouth, "Scarlet Xue, we can't talk about people like that, in the end, people don't have a father, this son who is immersed in the pain of losing his father, where does he have the heart to entertain guests...... Moreover, I estimate that the prince of Nanshu is also busy with the enthronement......"

The girl spoke in a hurry, and suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.

National Funeral ...... Enthronement ......

Her eyes lit up.

Yes, since the prince is so busy that he doesn't even have time to take a look at her, does that mean that she can take this opportunity to come to a ghost without knowing it?

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but show a wicked smile, and the scarlet snow on the side had a ghostly expression on her face.

Master...... "What are you thinking......

Scarlet Xue thought silently, but she couldn't say it outright, so she had to pray in her heart, praying that her master wouldn't make any more moths.

As it turned out, her fears were far from unfounded.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. In the dead of night, a petite black shadow sneakily jumped out of the window, and suddenly let out a muffled thud.

Xiao Hanyu grinned and touched the sore buttocks, stood in place and slowed down for a moment, then looked around, and then walked out along a small path.

She didn't bring any soft or clothing, but just changed into clothes that were easy to move, intending to explore the Forbidden Palace of Shu at night.

It is true that although she has taken the route from the dormitory to the palace gate no less than three times in a few days, this is the first time she has done this night walk. After all, if you really want to run away in the future, you can't leave openly in broad daylight, so it's still necessary to explore at night.

Thinking like this, the little girl said she would do it, but when she passed by a garden, she was attracted by a white figure.

No, to be precise, it wasn't the tall back that drew her to watch, but the sound of the piano flowing from her fingertips.

Xiao Hanyu has only lived in Dongzan's palace for three years, so she doesn't know what people may and can't be in the palace, what scenes may and can't be, and she can't guess the identity of this man not far away.

Guards? Not, which guard will disturb the people by playing the piano in the middle of the night; Eunuch? What's more, when she watched him play the piano, she didn't show an orchid finger; That's ......

Just as she was about to have an answer in her head, she heard two sudden cat meows.

I have to admit that she Xiao Hanyu is not afraid of the sky and the earth, she is afraid of ...... Cat.

Therefore, at this moment, the frightened girl almost wanted to open her mouth and roar after beating a spirit: Didn't you say that the Nanshu Forbidden Palace was heavily guarded? ! How can you let that kind of crazy guy run rampant in it?!

Of course, what rushed out of her lips one step ahead of this thought was an irrepressible exclamation.

"Ahh
