Qin Ze had a loneliness on his face that was extremely incommensurate with his age, and even the original flying look in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Xie Ning couldn't help but feel a little distressed. But her little arm, where can she twist the thighs of the noble concubine, not to mention that the other party is still Qin Ze's mother, how can she be troubled.

"Sixth brother, the noble concubine is also for your good," Having said that, Qin Lin's words did not mean much relief, "If you want to learn martial arts, just follow the guards in our palace, why bother others?" ”

Qin Ze didn't say anything, but Xie Ning clearly felt that the other party's small hand holding the corner of his sleeve tightened by three points, and he sighed in his heart, and he didn't have time to take care of it, so he stretched out his other hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Your Highness Six, don't worry, if you really have the heart to practice martial arts, although it is inconvenient for the little girl to teach it personally, she can also take the martial arts book from her family and give it to His Highness." ”

"Hmm," After a long time, Qin Ze loosened his tight lip line and reluctantly squeezed out a word.

"Okay," Seeing that Qin Ze's mood was relaxed, the emperor commanded loudly: "Ze'er come back and sit." Shainin, you sit too. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Ning looked up and looked in the direction pointed by the emperor, and found that the seat that the other party had arranged for her happened to be next to Qin Feng, and she was suddenly overjoyed, and after bowing her hand and thanking her, she immediately sat down.

Presumably it was Xie Ning's remarks that won the emperor's favor, but when he saw his dragon face, he nodded pleasantly: "You girl, you know the courtesy." ”

It is not strange that there are many people, not to mention that now that you are in the palace, you will not go wrong by being cautious. A thought flashed through Shainin's heart. His face remained unchanged, and his voice said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your approval, the little girl is very honored." ”

"Heh," a chuckle came from the mouth of the noble concubine, Xie Ning raised his eyes, but saw that the smile on the other party's delicate cheeks like picking flowers suddenly appeared, and the shining eyes flowed, looking forward to the life, Ren is eyes smiled lightly. It's also very moving.

is really worthy of being a concubine who is deeply favored by the Holy Grace of the Dynasty. Sure enough, it is a national color and natural fragrance, although her appearance is slightly inferior to Gu Qingyun, but this casual style with a smile is not comparable to ordinary people.

"It's not the boast of being an aunt as a concubine. Shainin, this kid, is indeed well-behaved. It's a sight to behold. ”

The noble concubine fell to the ground with a laugh. It was obviously a compliment, but Xie Ning couldn't help but skip a beat when he heard it, and some doubts suddenly appeared in his heart.

Never showed up. She was not invited to the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, and she was the only one in the mansion who was rewarded for the festival. Even when they met, the noble concubine, who was also very alienated from her, suddenly boasted that she was polite and pleasing, and it didn't sound like a good thing.

Xie Ning subconsciously looked at Qin Feng, who was sitting beside him, and also read a little concern from the other party's gaze.

That's it, no matter what tricks she has, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. There's nothing wrong with me anyway.

Xie Ning's mind was fixed, and the noble concubine's heart-warming soft voice sounded again, but as soon as the voice changed, she said: "After all, with Mama Qin teaching by her side, it is not surprising that this girl has grown." ”

"Is there such a thing? I don't know. ”

The noble concubine smiled unabated, and turned her head to the emperor sitting beside her and said: "The concubine body is also a whim recently, just because Zhi'er and Lin'er are getting older, and the rules and etiquette should also be well adjusted, so I asked about Mama Qin, and then I learned that she is now in our Jingyang Marquis Mansion, but it is also a coincidence." ”

Coincidental? Xie Ning didn't raise his head when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but be cold. She didn't think that Concubine Gao had taken such a big time to mention this matter, and even did not hesitate to praise her, just to say a coincidence.

In his heart, Xie Ning could only wait and watch with his eyebrows down.

"Zhi'er has a demure temperament, but you don't have to worry about being a concubine, but Lin'er really wants to order someone to take care of it."

The emperor praised and depreciated him so directly, although Qin Lin was extremely unconvinced in his heart, he couldn't show it, so he could only roll his eyes secretly.

Qin Feng noticed the subtle changes in his imperial sister, and his heart couldn't help but move, but he said slowly: "Imperial sisters and imperial sisters are all golden branches and jade leaves, how can they be compared to mortals, and it is common to be arrogant occasionally. The concubine loves her daughter very much, but she shouldn't be too demanding. ”

"The third brother's words are reasonable," Qin Lin felt that his sick brother was suddenly a little more pleasing to the eye than usual, and his eyes lit up when he heard the words, "This palace is a golden branch and jade leaf, with the love of the father and the emperor, and the rules and etiquette are just a good look, so why do you have to make a good rigid appearance?" Father, did you say that? ”

There is indeed some truth in what she said, as the only princess of today's son, Qin Lin is indeed more complacent than the women in this world. But the noble concubine went around in such a big circle before she slowly led the topic over, how could she be willing to be beaten back by Qin Feng and Qin Lin in a few words-"Although the princess has a noble status, she is also a member of the royal family after all. As a role model in the world, rules and etiquette are duty, how can they be easily abandoned? ”

"There is some truth in what the concubine said," the emperor's eyes flickered, but he didn't know what he thought of for a while, and suddenly asked with a smile: "I don't know what the concubine thinks about this matter?" ”

The noble concubine has been in the palace for many years, and it is not a problem to speculate on the holy will, and with a glance without a trace, she reined in her mind and replied carefully: "There is no owner in the middle palace, and the concubine is entrusted by His Majesty to temporarily hold the phoenix seal, and it is my duty to discipline the princesses." The concubine mentioned this matter with no other meaning, but a motherly heart, and hoped that His Majesty would be clear. ”

If he hadn't known that she was deliberately calculating, Xie Ning was only afraid that he would listen to her words, and that he would really be a noble concubine.

Not to mention her sincere tone for the time being, it is the sincere eyes cast by her voice at this time, I am afraid that it can confuse the hearts of many people.

Concubine Gao's eyelashes moved, and she continued: "Although it is just an accident that the concubine learned about Mama Qin's whereabouts, but when she saw Xie Ning today, the concubine realized Mama Qin's excellence. I'm not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, Xie Ning, this girl grew up in Shu since she was a child, and it has only been two or three months since she entered Beijing, and when she first came, she caused a lot of jokes because she didn't know the customs of Beijing. The concubine was ashamed physically and mentally, for fear that she would lose her honor in front of everyone. It is not easy to send someone to inform her to enter the palace for a banquet. But who knew that Feng'er brought her to the table by mistake today, which made the concubine can't help but look at her with admiration. There is also a reluctant request in my heart, and I have to trouble His Majesty and my brother at home. ”

"Oh?" At this point, the emperor with slightly narrowed eyes was looking for a voice.

The noble concubine smiled slightly, but there was a faint flush on her face, which made her cheeks, which had been smeared with a layer of rouge, even more beautiful, but she had a rare shyness, "Mama Qin went to the Hou Mansion to teach these young ladies in the mansion, and now even Xie Ning's girl has grown like this." I wanted to talk to my brother. Invite Mama Qin back to the palace. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Ning immediately understood the intention of the noble concubine. After many days of getting along, she and Mama Qin have already had feelings beyond that of teacher, student and master and servant, and now the other party wants the two of them to separate. How could she accept it easily. My heart tightened. Shainin raised his head without a trace. With his peripheral vision, he looked at the change in the emperor's expression not far away.

But seeing that the other party raised his hand and stroked his beard under his lips, he thought softly: "It's not impossible." Gao Hou there, there is no need to say much. It's just that Mama Qin is stubborn, if Concubine Ai wants to invite her back to the palace, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry," Concubine Gao was overjoyed, and her tone involuntarily raised a little, "Mama has lived in the palace for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of inconvenience outside, not to mention that the rules of the juniors of the concubine's mother's family are all good, but she doesn't have to bother to give advice." ”

The emperor nodded, obviously with an indispensable attitude, but just replied casually: "Then it's up to you." ”

Xie Ning heard this, but he couldn't help but feel a stagnation in his heart. Knowing that the overall situation of this matter has been decided, he still can't help but want to speak out and fight, and he is secretly trying to consider his words, but there is a sudden force on his knees.

The brown and gold sleeves with the dark pattern of the cloud dragon were on Xie Ning's orange and yellow skirt, and the contrast between the two colors, one cold and one warm, was very different, Xie Ning was shocked, and he didn't even have time to hide it, so he suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Feng on his side, and the question in his eyes was very obvious.

The other party did not rush to let go of his hand, but smiled at the gaze cast by Shaining, he was already injured, but he still pressed the force on Shainin's hands on his knees, and the implication was self-evident.

Do you want her to stand still?

With his reminder, Xie Ning had to dispel the sudden thoughts in his heart, but his eyes couldn't help but look around, and the slightly flustered look on his face clearly revealed a bit of weakness.

Fortunately, Qin Feng saw that she understood, so he leaned over slightly to block the sight on the side, and inadvertently, he took his right hand back, but he made a cheek gesture, "Father, the son remembers that Mama Qin is also in the palace today, why don't you summon her here?" ”

That's right! Xie Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart was finally relieved, but he couldn't help but think: Mama Qin has a deep relationship with the royal family, and she wants to keep the other party here, but Mama Qin may also be willing to enter the palace. It seems that before she reveals her intentions to Mama Qin, she still shouldn't interject rashly. If it really goes against Mama Qin's wishes, it is not beautiful.

Mama Qin must still be at the banquet, and before Xie Ning could come back to her senses, the attendant who went to the heir had already led her into the apse.

After a salute and greetings, the noble concubine took the lead and said bluntly: "Mama Qin doesn't know, the emperor and the palace invite you here today, just because there is something to discuss with you." Now that the three princesses in the palace are getting bigger, it is the time when they need someone to guide them, and the palace is in charge of the phoenix seal, and they have no time to separate for a while. I don't know if Mama Qin is willing to share her worries for the palace? ”

Her words sounded soft at first glance, but in fact, there were words in the words, and when a hat of 'sharing worries' was buttoned down, it became both soft and hard, and Xie Ning couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so he had to look at Mama Qin who was sitting on the other side.

"Niangniang really looks down on the old slave," Mama Qin couldn't hear a trace of emotion in her undulating voice, "My fifty-year-old wife, thanks to the emperor's kindness, went out of the palace to be raised, and she just asked for a leisure." Although he is temporarily living in the Hou Mansion now, he is just a few words. If you want to teach the princesses, I'm afraid that you will be powerless. ”

Seeing Mama Qin's refusal, Xie Ning suddenly stabilized his panicked mood as if he had eaten a reassuring pill.

But who knew that the noble concubine still insisted: "Mama is healthy, where will she become an old woman." Zhi'er and Ze'er have been talking to you several times, but Mama is not considerate of these children at all? ”

"And Lin'er," Concubine Gao's gaze swept over Qin Lin, "These are all children you watched grow up, if you don't come back, do you think they are not as intimate as Xie Ning?" ”

Involved in this for no reason, Xie Ning looked at the emperor's favorite concubine in front of him, who could be called an aunt, and a chill broke out in his heart uncontrollably. No matter how touching the other party's posture is, she can't distinguish half of the care from the other party's smile.

Concubine Gao did not invite her into the palace, not because she was afraid that she would make a fool of herself, because she did not reward her for her courtesy, not because she was negligent for a while, and mentioned her three times and twice, not out of love for her own juniors, but with a casual remark that seemed to be inadvertent, she was pushed to the forefront again and again.

Obviously, they have never met, where can they give birth to any festivals? What's more, the two are still nominally relatives......

Xie Ning's thoughts froze, and there seemed to be a spiritual light like wind and lightning in his mind, but it was so fast that he couldn't grasp it.

It is said that a noble woman like a noble concubine who wants to be windy and rainy should not be so dissatisfied with her, an ordinary junior. As the concubine of the dynasty, she didn't have to think about it, just a few words, so that Xie Ning had no room to fight back. The gap is too big, what's the point of such a crush.

Sensing the glance of the noble concubine, Xie Ning was suspicious, but he had to guess that the other party was entrusted by the Xiang family, so he made it difficult to speak.

But she said that she turned her mind around, but the apse was still silent, although Mama Qin was old, her body sitting on the low stool was still straight, but seeing her pale expression, her shriveled lips pursed into a straight line, she had no intention of opening.

If you don't give face to the noble concubine like this, there must be few people in the world after several times. Mama Qin has always been very prejudiced, but Xie Ning is not worried about her acting rashly, not to mention that she has a close relationship with the royal family, and it is unknown whether she has something to rely on.

There was silence for a long time, but the first person to exit was Qin Ze. Although this child is young, he has always been very eye-catching, and he knew that his mother and concubine had annoyed Mama Qin without words, so he hurriedly said in a hurry: "The mother concubine is laughing again." There are many rules in the palace, and even the sons sometimes want to go out of the palace from time to time, and Mama Qin has been outside the palace for a long time, so she naturally does not want to be constrained by this. What does it have to do with Sister Xie? ”

His childish words were originally intended to resolve the embarrassment, but the noble concubine did not appreciate it at all. (To be continued.) )

PS: The noble concubine is set to take the route of a favorite concubine, she has a family background and a good face, and she is a little younger than Gao Hou.
