Yanyue Palace

Cui Gu presented the latest news from the general's mansion, and Concubine Shu didn't lift her eyelids, and leisurely peeled the orange petals and tasted it carefully.

Cui Gu was secretly anxious, "Niangniang, don't worry, Knowles must know that it was the idea we gave to Miss Cousin to deal with Miss Biao...... In case, in case ......"

"What if?" Concubine Shu was still not anxious at all, and sneered: "She is an inner house woman, and she has been trapped in that courtyard for so long, what kind of storm can she set off?" ”

"But she's still the prime minister's sister after all, if the prime minister helps, then won't we be at a disadvantage?"

Concubine Shu got up and stroked the corners of her eyes in the mirror, "If the prime minister wants to help her, will she have to wait until today?" Eh-Aunt Cui, do you think my Liuyun Jade Huachai looks good with me? ”

Looking at such a calm mother, Cui Gu didn't know whether she was happy or sad, and followed her words: "Beautiful, of course beautiful, Niangniang is beautiful with any makeup-"

"You're fooling me again." Concubine Shu glanced at her, looked at the bronze mirror a few more times, and pulled down the corners of her mouth: "It's a pity that that set of phoenix jade-faced exquisite hairpins was really obtained by her...... Come on, come over at night later, please remember to remind me. ”

Cui Gu bent down slightly: "Yes." ”

******

Rong Ning, who hid in the house for a few days and didn't dare to go out, took advantage of the good spring to go to the Xianglin Racecourse with Xiao Huaijin.

Although the scale of the Zhulin Racecourse is not as large as that of the Royal Racecourse, only the family members of second-grade officials and above can enter. At this time, the time was just right, and there were already many horse-drawn carriages parked outside the racecourse.

As soon as Xiao Huaijin and Rong Ning got out of the car, a horse neighed in the distance, and a sturdy horse with a black mane broke free of the reins, its long mane fluttered, and it ran towards them with its hooves.

The horse ran up to him after a while, and just when Rong Ning was surprised, the horse stopped in time, and the horse's hooves slid a long mark on the ground, licking Xiao Huaijin's face affectionately.

Xiao Huaijin also had a smile on his face, patting the horse's head, and only then could he distance himself.

"This ......" suddenly felt familiar...... Rong Ning patted her head, thinking that when Xiao Huaijin took her back to the woods in Nan'an, it seemed that she was riding this horse.

"Blackie!"

For a tall and sturdy horse, this name was indeed not wonderful enough, but Xiao Hei seemed to be completely pleased by this call, raised his proud head, and roared at the sky before rubbing Rong Ning's head.

The little boy at the horse farm came out of breath at this time, and when he saw that the nobles did not seem to be frightened, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly knelt down to confess: "It's all the minions that are not good, and the masters are frightened." For some reason, this horse suddenly lost control and ran in this direction......"

Rong Ning waved his hand to let the little guy get up, "Get up, it's not your fault." It seems that our little black nose is smarter than a dog. ”

The little guy was grateful, and the secret passage escaped.

Xiao Heiyang raised his head, and a few sullen breaths erupted from his nose, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Rong Ning's comparison with a dog.

Xiao Huaijin also smiled and stepped on the horse, and stretched out a hand from the horse: "Take me." ”

Rong Ning put his hand on his hand, but the whole person suddenly rose into the air, and in a blink of an eye, he was on horseback.

I thought it was pulling her, but I didn't expect it to be one hand around her body and the other hand to support her buttocks. Rong Ning wanted to turn around and glare at him fiercely, but his waist was buckled by him from behind.

"Don't move." His hot and wet breath was in her ear, "Little Black, drive-"

Xiao Huaijin kicked his feet, and the black horse rushed out like an arrow off the string, it seemed to be more excited than usual, but it was able to step over the obstacle lightly.

The wind blowing through their ears blew their ears, and their hair was a little messy.

After getting off the horse, Rong Ning's face was a little ruddy, full of clouds, she took the handkerchief handed by Lu Yin, wiped the sweat from the corner of her forehead, but she kept slandering in her heart that the guy dared to bite her ear even on the horse......

Xiao Chengye saw this scene when he came over at night: the girl was shy, as if angry, and the son was calm and light, but if you looked closely, you could find the smile in his eyes......

He approached and coughed lightly, and Rong Ning hurriedly restrained his feelings.

"Cousin, what a coincidence." Xiao Chengye said hello with a smile, and seeing that Xiao Huaijin just said "um", he didn't care, turned to Rong Ning and said, "This is the county lord of Qingyang, I will have to change my words in a few days......"

Seeing that Rong Ning was puzzled, he added intimately: "I am the second prince." ”

Xiao Huaijin can be rude, because even Yingzong connived at his rudeness, but Rong Ning can't, she bent her knees like a stream: "Qingyang has seen the second prince." ”

Xiao Chengye smiled and waved his hand: "When you go out, the county lord doesn't have to be polite, I think the time is right today, why don't I be the east, and invite you to gather in the City God Pavilion." ”

Rong Ning saw that impatience flashed in Xiao Huaijin's eyes, and she was afraid that he would say something shocking again, so she hurriedly rushed ahead of him to refuse: "I can't refuse the second prince to be the east, but ......" She looked embarrassed, "We have made an appointment with others, and I am afraid that we will live up to His Highness's good intentions." ”

For some reason, she always felt that since she came here, she had said enough words of rejection, and she could be regarded as a little lie at her fingertips.

Seeing her shirk, Xiao Chengye was not angry, and after saying goodbye to the two, he returned to the palace, and Xiao Fuzi, who had been following him silently, suddenly raised his head, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Highness, you didn't do what Niangniang wanted......

Xiao Chengye's fingers flickered through the book, and then slowly turned the page.

Xiao Fuzi thought that the second prince was about to be angry, and his head hung low, waiting for the judgment to come.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengye didn't seem to notice his abnormality, and said softly: "Little Fuzi, how long have you been serving His Highness?" ”

Xiao Fuzi accurately said a number: "Eight years." ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengye suddenly sneered: "It's been eight years, then you tell me, you know how Xiao Suzi, Xiao Yuzi, and Xiao Rongzi didn't have it." ”

"Your Highness—" Xiao Fuzi looked up at his master with a grim face in surprise, wondering why he suddenly mentioned these three people.

They came in at the same time to serve the second prince, but not long after they came in, the three of them went one after another.

Xiao Fuzi said tremblingly: "Xiao Chuzi accidentally fell into the Taiye Pool and drowned; Xiao Yuzi's hands and feet were not clean, and he stole to his own house, and he was killed with a rod; And the little banyan rushes ...... Rushed into the Ming nobles and was ......"

"By what?"

"...... Starve to death ......"

After seven years, Xiao Fuzi was shocked when he connected with the events of that year, and he still couldn't imagine how the unarmed second prince, who was only seven years old at the time, could make them die quietly one by one without arousing suspicion......

"Please be gracious to Your Highness...... Xiao Fuzi knelt on the ground, his hands trembling.
