Shen Youqing and Xiao Yan walked side by side, starting from the Imperial Garden, they met many palace people, their eyes would carefully pass over her face, and when they turned to look at Xiao Yan, they immediately lowered their heads and walked a few steps quickly, Prince Ning seemed to dislike others staring at the girl beside him.

Xiao Yan walked in a direction other than the palace gate, as if seeing her doubts, Xiao Yan explained: "When I entered the palace just now, I heard that Concubine Ning was about to give birth, and Concubine Ning was Concubine Liang's maiden niece, so it stands to reason that she should also come and see it."

"Hmm." Shen Youqing didn't react to the strangeness of these words at all, and praised with a smile: "The prince cares about the emperor very much." ”

Xiao Yan's footsteps paused and looked at Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing didn't know why, he tilted his head and looked ignorant, but he was meeting his almost focused gaze, which was too gentle, with a magical power that made people look crazy, Shen Youqing smiled embarrassedly, and shifted his gaze without a trace.

"I thought you would ask ......" Xiao Yan's tone was a little cowardly, but Shen Youqing didn't know why he was suddenly like this, and couldn't help but feel distressed, if Yuxi was here, she must know......

Shen Youqing carefully recalled his previous words, as if he had thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Concubine Liang is not your aunt...... Your ......"

Whether to call it aunt or stepmother is really a question.

Xiao Yan's face was not worried, but he listened carefully to Shen Youqing's words, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw her thinking hard about the title of Concubine Liang.

"Concubine Liang and Concubine Mu are not sisters. At the beginning, the mother concubine and her were friends like sisters, maybe the big family has this tradition......"

Xiao Yan's tone was faint, as if what he said had nothing to do with him, but Shen Youqing could find him smiling mockingly.

The tradition he said was probably that his sister married his sister, judging from his slightly frowning brows and the disdainful arc of the corners of his mouth, he did not approve of such an approach, and even had a lot of trouble because of the matter between Song Guifei and Concubine Liang.

From this point of view, it seems that Song Guifei and Concubine Liang were not as close as recorded by the historians......

Xiao Yan's footsteps were very slow, as if he remembered something-

"At the beginning, the mother's health was not good, and she was getting thinner and thinner. But she insisted on not letting Aunt Li sue her father, and at that time, Concubine Liang was just a concubine, and she, as the sister of her mother, should take care of her by her mother's side. But every time I go to the imperial study, I can see her and her father Qin Se and Ming, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting......"

A trace of pain flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and Shen Youqing saw that there was a kind of pain in his eyes.

His mother was sick. And my father is raising eyebrows with other women, so this feeling must not be much better......

Shen Youqing remembered the last time he saw Concubine Liang in King Ning's mansion, at that time, Shen Youqing felt that the relationship between them was very indifferent, not at all like the relationship between mother and son, so Shen Youqing seemed to be able to understand Xiao Yan's mood.

"Sometimes I wonder if that would have happened if my mother hadn't befriended her, but if that were the case, my mother might have been really lonely. I spent so little time with her at the time, I should have spent more time with her. ”

Xiao Yan's feelings are sad, in his heart, Song Guifei's death has always been a knot, plus Aunt Li had told him before that Song Guifei's death was probably not a simple death, which probably made him put it in his heart......

Shen Youqing patted him lightly on the shoulder, wanting to draw him out of the sadness of this moment, "The prince has done a good job, at least you haven't done anything because of this resentment of Concubine Liang, let alone become a violent person, you still have the heart to visit Concubine Liang's niece." These are enough to show that you are very good, so you don't have to blame yourself! ”

You're really doing a great job, it's true.

Think back to what you've done over the years. Shen Youqing couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Xiao Yan thought that Song Guifei died because of the former emperor and Concubine Liang, but he did not take any revenge; As for her, just because the Pei family sent her back to the Pei family in a fit of anger, she resented the Shen family for so long.

"Really?"

Shen Youqing is not good at deceiving people, so everything she can say must be what she thinks in her heart.

Xiao Yan smiled lightly, "I know." ”

Shen Youqing's eyes widened. What does he know? knew that what she praised him was true......

Xiao Yan had already walked forward, and turned back to signal Shen Youqing to follow.

Probably because Concubine Ning was about to give birth, many palace people were busy back and forth, shuttling on this narrow road with a basin of water.

Their eyes would turn to the two of them from time to time, Shen Youqing was embarrassed, but Xiao Yan seemed to enjoy this kind of gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, she would take her hand and avoid the panicked palace people who came and went.

Approaching Concubine Ning's Blue and White Pavilion, Shen Youqing smelled a trace of blood.

Shen Youqing didn't know what was going on, but the smell of blood wafting in the air at this time was different from the blood from the wounds she smelled on weekdays, and she vaguely understood a little, and couldn't help blushing......

Xiao Yan felt that the people around him were holding his sleeves, and when he turned around, he found that her cheeks were crimson, and he realized that he shouldn't have brought her to such a place.

"Let's go."

He held Shen Youqing's hand, Shen Youqing was obviously startled, and when she saw the softness in Xiao Yan's eyes, she raised a smile and shook her backhand.

She couldn't deny that when Xiao Yan talked about Song Guifei, the feelings that surfaced in her heart were distressed, and when she was shy just now, she also unconsciously grabbed his sleeve......

"Since you're here, let's wait until the little doll is born."

Shen Youqing is very curious, and she should be very happy to witness a newborn child.

Xiao Yan gently pinched her fingers, and then waited on the side, sometimes looking at her with doting eyes.

"Wow-wow-"

After hearing Concubine Ning inside shouting over and over again for a long time, and finally hearing the cry of the child, Shen Youqing stood up suddenly, and was about to rush in to have a look.

Xiao Yan grabbed her, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Youqing realized that she had reacted too much, and laughed dryly, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing, I'm too nervous...... Aren't you nervous? ”

"This kind of thing is naturally something that you don't get nervous about until you experience it."

Shen Youqing was stunned, what did she say just now?

When she raised her eyes, she saw him smile meaningfully, and in an instant, her ears turned red......

"Your Majesty."

"Uncle Huang is exempt." The emperor was late, but it could be seen that he still cared about Concubine Ning's child, obviously the main hall of the early dynasty was not far from here, but when he rushed over, he was actually a little dusty.

When he saw Shen Youqing, he smiled faintly at Xiao Yan and didn't say anything, but the meaning in his eyes was more direct than what he said.

Shen Youqing hung her head very cowardly, and she didn't dare to raise her head until Xiao Yan reminded the emperor to go to see the child, and the emperor hurriedly entered the room.

Xiao Yan said softly: "Let's go back first, if you like children, wait a few days and come back." ”

Shen Youqing followed Xiao Yan out of the Blue and White Pavilion with kindness...... (To be continued.) )
