This is completely a plot need, I hope you understand, Mo Da, Erjin loves you......

It's almost over, and when the matter of this imperial city is over, it will be rough......

The girls are looking forward to the appearance of the old nineteen......

------Off topic------

"Miss Seven...... Help ......"

Lianqin's face turned white, his knees weakened, and he knelt down.

"The imperial grandson is very anxious, as the slave maid of Zeqiu Courtyard, you are not very anxious?"

Xia Chuqi smiled, glanced at the piano lightly, and a touch of strangeness crossed his heart.

Can't keep it...... Isn't that a matter of course?

Lianqin bit her lower lip, raised her head suddenly, and paused for a moment, she seemed to want to say something, but when she glanced at the people in the courtyard, she frowned again, and whispered again: "Concubine Taisun, the ...... in her stomach I'm afraid the fetus won't be saved. The imperial grandson is very anxious, he knows that Miss Seven has good medical skills, especially good at gynecology, so he specially asked the slave maid to come over and invite you, please be sure to go to Zeqiu Courtyard to diagnose and treat the concubine of the imperial grandson......"

"Zeqiuin? What do you want me to do? ”

But her eyes flashed slightly, but she was silent.

With a "groan" in his heart, Xia Chuqi's blood all over his body shouted.

Lianqin lowered her head, folded her hands in front of her, and replied respectfully, "Yes, there are some things to read [y][b][d][u] in a novel...... The imperial grandson asked me to come over and invite Miss Seven to go to Zeqiu Courtyard. ”

Picking up the corners of her lips a little, she seemed to smile, "The piano girl came to me, is there something?" ”

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and a clip flooded into her mind like a movie. The room with the big red satin, the suppressed voices of men and women gasping and laughing, the girl who stood outside the door and desperately hugged her to prevent her from entering, but did not dare to make a sound...... The same goose egg face coincided in one place.

Doesn't it mean that she should be an old person from the Duke of Wei?

That's right, Lianqin is Xia Wenqiu's dowry girl.

Xia Chuqi's heart boiled.

"No, it's not!" Lian Qin nervously took the words, hesitated, and looked at her again, "Miss Seven, I am the dowry girl of the Wei State Mansion...... In the Guogong Mansion, I have already become acquainted with Miss Seven, Miss Seven, you ...... Why don't you remember the slave? ”

Glancing at her fair goose egg face, Xia Chuqi slowly straightened her cuffs, took the warm water on the table, took a sip, then raised her eyelids, and said lukewarmly: "I naturally remember the piano girl next to Concubine Taisun." Two years ago, it seems that there was a deal?! ”

"Miss Seven, don't you remember me?"

Just behind Jia Yi, at the round blue brick arch of the courtyard, a girl dressed as a palace maid walked in with a probe. She glanced at a few people in the courtyard, and lowered her head nervously.

“…… Yes, it's me. ”

Xia Chuqi was startled and sat up straight, "Who?" ”

At this time, A suddenly came in from outside the courtyard and whispered a reminder from afar.

"Miss Seven, someone is looking for you."

Yes, as soon as I say this, I am anxious. Xia Chuqi smiled helplessly, and Zheng Erbao and Qing Lan, who had just come out of the hall, couldn't hold back their chuckles. In this Chuci Palace, it is precisely because of the two living treasures of the fool and the plum that there is nothing to do to fight, which adds some fun. Otherwise, these people will have to soak in coptis jars every day.

"I'm not a child!"

"You're such a kind-hearted child."

Xia Chuqi stroked his forehead, the corners of his mouth grinned, he didn't expect to hear such words from the mouth of a fool, seeing that Zheng Erbao was about to die of laughter, he himself still had a tense face, and couldn't help but laugh and joke.

"I'm not kidding?" The fool didn't know why, "The third aunt taught me, isn't it?" ”

"The Emperor's eldest grandson...... You'll be joking, too. ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Zheng Erbao didn't hold back, so he choked on the sentence "Women are difficult to raise" and coughed loudly, and a fat face like a white-faced steamed bun suddenly turned into a pig's liver.

"Then I'll go back and give her some of the good things in the palace. Alas, it's hard to keep a woman. ”

With a soft "oh", the fool nodded, his brows furrowed.

Xia Chuqi laughed softly, "Don't worry, Meizi is not stingy." ”

"But......" the fool pursed her mouth, "she seemed to be really angry. ”

"That's right!" Xia Chuqi shook his head, "As long as you are familiar with people and good people, you can joke." ”

"Cao'er, did I do something wrong?"

In this palace, the fool is the master, and the plum is the slave, although she comes from the next generation and receives an equal education for everyone, it is impossible to directly teach the fool to apologize to the plum, which will only teach him to be weak and be bullied by others in the future. Moreover, it was just a joke and a small episode, she didn't care, and talked to Zheng Erbao about other things. But the fool was bored alone for a while, but he couldn't stay a little still.

"It's okay, Meizi is used to laughing with you, and it will be fine in a while."

Smiling lightly, Xia Chuqi patted him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong with being a fool? And so it ran. Stingy! ”

Xia Chuqi gave Qing Lan a look and asked her to go in and take a look at Meizi. Angry and funny, he turned his head to look at the fool who was also stunned. But before she could speak, the fool's slightly open mouth closed, and then he lowered his head aggrievedly.

"Hey, this girl, what's wrong today?"

The gang of ordinary people joked that Meizi is not such a stingy person. She rarely called herself a slave so respectfully in front of a fool, this sudden change, everyone didn't know why, Qinglan was even more shocked.

With that, she kowtowed her head twice, got up, picked up her skirt, and ran into the house as fast as she could.

"Yes, the slave is wrong. The slave and maid are fools, the emperor and grandson have a large number of nobles, spare the slave and the maid this time, the slave and the maid will never dare again......"

In order not to be laughed at and stingy, she walked over quickly and knelt down with a "poof".

The fool is honest and stupid, he doesn't know how to joke, and he never jokes with people, and he says it very seriously. Especially in the past two years, everyone he saw was respectful to him, kneeling down and admitting his mistakes at every turn, and he slowly didn't feel anything. Speaking of which, Meizi didn't kneel down to him, he was the emperor's grandson, and kneeling down to apologize to him was nothing, but the eldest girl had a good face, she had suffered a loss by talking to him before, and she was brushed on the face, she couldn't think about it for a while, and when she saw him let him kneel, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"You're stupider than me. Hurry up, get down on your knees, and apologize to me. ”

Seeing that Meizi was deflated, and he was praised by Cao'er again, the fool raised his eyebrows, raised his chin high, snorted, and pointed to the ground childishly.

Meizi stomped her foot angrily, "Miss Seven......"

Seeing that she was about to chase her, Xia Chuqi couldn't help but shake his head, laughed at her, and joked: "It's clear that you are stupid, and you were bypassed by the emperor's eldest grandson." You say you're not stupid, who is stupid? I see, the eldest grandson of the emperor is much smarter than you. ”

"Who are you calling stupid?"

Seeing that everyone looked at her like a stupid person, Meizi's little face turned red, and she was annoyed and angry.

This time, Meizi was turned into a fool by a fool.

The crowd was helplessly silent.

The fool laughed, straightened up, put his hands on his waist, and suddenly strode towards Xia Chuqi, who was pursing his lips and laughing, sitting beside her, pointing at Meizi and saying loudly, "Cao'er, she is a fool." Erbao father-in-law, Sister Qing, Xiao Chengzi, how many of you say, is she a fool? ”

Meizi said, "Of course I'm not. ”

The fool looked at her and tilted his head, "Then are you a fool?" ”

Meizi stuck her tongue out at him, "The fool said that he was not a fool." ”

The fool's eyes widened, "I'm not a fool. ”

Meizi grimaced, "Hey, aren't you stupid today, and you know I'm scolding you?" ”

The fool glared at her, "You're scolding me?" ”

Meizi was stunned for a moment, and laughed angrily at him, "Yes, fools know how rare it is." ”

The fool rolled his eyes, "What fools know, but you don't know?" ”

Meizi didn't believe it, "This is not an ordinary seed, Miss Seven said it was Qingming Flower, and it was the same?" ”

The fool told her very experienced, "It will be sent in ten days." ”

Meizi said, "When will the seed sprout when it is buried?" ”

The plum and the fool were squatting on the edge of the flowerbed, whispering.

There is a small flower garden there.

Qinglan was waiting for tea in front of her with a smile, and Jia Yi didn't know where to hide. She gathered the light Yunjin spring dress on her body, lay down lazily, sighed comfortably, and her eyes fell on the corner of the courtyard not far away.

As soon as the sun comes out, everyone is in a good mood.

In the spacious courtyard, the sun floated in clusters of brilliant light on the green treetops of the canopy. Zheng Erbao smiled and moved an Arhat bench for Xia Chuqi and let her lie on the chair to bask in the sun. According to her, this is a calcium supplement, which is good for the body's recovery.

The next day, the weather was extremely clear.

……

……

Like what? Like buddies, like comrades-in-arms.

But Jia Yi, she never had to mind.

She would care what Zhao Shijiu thought of her, but she would pay extra attention.

Even, in front of Zhao Shijiu, it was not like this.

It's a completely different feeling.

Between her and Jia Yi, after some days of sharing joys and sorrows, there has long been no avoidance between ordinary men and women. In her heart, he seems to be more intimate than Zheng Erbao, whether it is sleeping or snoring in front of him, she can completely ignore the image issue.

Xia Chuqi looked at his serious appearance and grinned regardless of his image.

"Haha......"

"Hmm", Jia Yi stood up, "Sleep, Father-in-law A is here to wait for you." ”

"Who coaxed you? Really, it's handsome! Xia Chuqi chuckled and pushed him, "Go, it's night, I'm going to sleep." ”

“…… I'm not Zheng Erbao, it's not so easy to coax. ”

"Father-in-law A!" Seeing his awkward face, Xia Chuqi smiled and quipped: "You are almost a girl now." After finishing speaking, seeing that Jiayi's face was even more ugly, she looked him up and down, and smiled lowly, "Actually, the official uniforms of this court, in addition to the best looking Jinyi Guard, are the best looking of the inner servants." You're wearing it too...... Handsome! ”

"I'm not a."

"Why?"

Jia Yi didn't appreciate it, and threw it back on her stage.

"No, you don't."

Xia Chuqi didn't bother to argue with him, and generously stuffed the tin box containing scar cream into his hand, "Take this well, these scars on your face are not as deep as the one on my forehead." Keep using it, it won't take long for you to revert to that handsome boss again. ”

Well, it seems like it is......

Jia Yi was innocent, "You came close to let me see." ”

"......" Xia Chuqi's hot face was attached to his cold buttocks, he rolled his eyes speechlessly, looked at it in front of the bronze mirror for a moment, and rubbed it a few more times, and couldn't help but be angry, "It's not too obvious at all, right?" With that, she turned her head and glared at Jia Yi, "Who told you to look so closely?" You say under normal circumstances, who would get so close to see people's faces? ”

"It's a very obvious scar, you can see it."

A tilted his neck and stared at her obliquely, his face expressionless.

"On my left forehead, there was a deep scar, a tattoo...... No, it was left behind by the torture, maybe you've heard of it? I didn't cover it with wax today, can you still see it? Can you see it? ”

Still stiff as a robot, Jiayi stared at her face and didn't answer.

"Look at my face, my left forehead is ......"

After a few strokes, as if to prove herself, she suddenly lowered her head and leaned her face closer to him.

"Scar cream ......" Xia Chuqi took out a small box from under the wooden lattice, opened the tin cover, and carefully dug out a little bit to rub the scar on his face, "I tell you, this thing is good...... I did it myself. ”

"Do what?" A stiffened his neck.

"Sit and wait, don't move."

Xia Chuqi bent his lips slightly, the anxiety in his heart relaxed, he actually thought of all kinds of violent walks when he was degraded and ugly by Zhao Jiu, sighed, looked at the scar on Jia's face, thought about it, pulled him into the inner room again, and sat on the chair.

A glared at him one by one, "I borrowed someone, and I still dislike it?" ”

"Everything is good in this palace, but there is no freedom at all, and it is inconvenient to meet my brother...... Well, why would I lend your shoulder? My cousin is so handsome, fragrant and smelly...... Unlike you, a stinky sweat and this face, it's really anxious. ”

After a while, Xia Chuqi seemed to ease the momentum, sniffed, suddenly raised his head with a smile, took a step back, and looked at his expressionless black face.

In Jia Yi's stunned, Xia Chuqi approached, suddenly lowered his head, leaned on his shoulder, and said nothing. Jia Yi didn't move, didn't reach out to hug her, stiffened his body, let her lean on, and didn't say a word.

"Lend you a shoulder."

"Huh?"

"Boss A......"

Standing up, she stretched, suddenly looked at him, and lowered her voice.

Xia Chuqi was slightly stunned, smiled lightly, and felt a lot more relaxed.

"Xia Chu, the person who will hate you is not worth your worry."

A moved his lips and was silent for a while before answering in a low voice.

"Why don't you speak?" Xia Chuqi saw that he was silent, and asked again.

Today's conversation between her and Yan Ergui, he heard it inside. Although she didn't seem to care, he knew that she might not care what others thought of her, but she would definitely care about what King Jin's old ministry thought of her. Yan Ergui's rambling words, although there are no accusations, can even be said to be full of requests. But in her heart, she must have carried a burden.

A pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Boss A, you said that if I really married Zhao Mianze, how many people would hate me?"

Xia Chuqi said "um", thought about it, and didn't know what to think, and his smile was a little big.

Jia Yi didn't answer, walked over and picked up a robe on the shelf, draped it over her shoulders, and said in a calm voice, "It's late at night, let's rest." ”

"Wait, it's coming soon......"

Stroking her still flat lower abdomen, she frowned and smiled again.

She just cares that Xia Wenqiu can have the ability to drag him down, and I'm afraid the next thing won't be too easy......

For the sake of the child, it is too normal for a man to choose to stay.

Zhao Mianze didn't come, she didn't care at all.

At that time, I wanted to laugh at that time.

He Chengan said that the princess's birth was not very good, and the imperial doctor instructed that she should be emotionally soothed, and she was angry and sad. The imperial grandson was afraid that she would have a miscarriage like before, so she accompanied her over there for the past three days, and after this dangerous period, she came to Chuci Hall again, and told her to have a good life and recuperate.

Since the day of the fight, Zhao Mianze went to Zeqiu Courtyard and did not come back for three consecutive days. After knowing that she went to the Rouyi Hall and was cleaned up by Concubine Gong, she just sent He Chengan over, gave her a lot of valuable things, and said a lot of comforting words.

"Xia Wenqiu, I still have some skills."

Xia Chuqi knew that he was referring to Zhao Mianze, so he couldn't help but smile sarcastically and curled his lips slightly.

"He still hasn't come."

Jiayi, who was still wearing a eunuch's uniform, walked in, looked at her deeply, put warm water in front of her, looked around, and diverted her thoughts with a slight mockery.

The two of them looked at each other from a distance, and neither of them spoke, not even a word of greeting, but she still couldn't suppress it, and her heart was beating wildly. Chen Jing, who was wearing the general's armor, was no longer the original Chen Jing, but as soon as she saw him, her first reaction was to think of the heroic His Royal Highness the King of Jin beside him.

When I came back, I didn't expect that Chen Jing was still waiting there.

With him, his two trips went very smoothly.

Previously, she and Jia Yi secretly went out of the palace to meet Li Miao and discussed the "ransom" and dealing with Xia Tingde. When she went out of the city gate, she was originally lucky, but she never thought that she would really see Chen Jing.

As soon as A went out to pour hot water, she covered her face vigorously, her heart was beating "pounding", and the previous nervousness and excitement had not completely subsided.

"Thank you."

Xia Chuqi glanced at him, smiled and nodded.

"I'll heat you up."

A large hand reached over and blocked her.

The stars are shy tonight, and the light is a little dim. In the Chuci Hall of the East Palace, at the beginning of the summer, he walked inside, quickly took off the robe of the little eunuch on his body, rolled up his cuffs, took off the "lock love" from his left wrist, threw it on the table, sat on the chair like a limp generally, poured out a cup of herbal tea, and poured it into his mouth.

The red walls and green tiles of the deep palace all fell into darkness, and there was no more glory.

Night hit, and a thick fog enveloped the imperial city.

The day slipped by.

……

……

"It's okay, I have my own opinions, you can go back."

Listening to Yan Ergui's busy explanation, Xia Chuqi raised his eyes and glanced at him, and saw that he was rubbing his hands helplessly, his face was full of apologies, and he couldn't help but laugh with a "snort".

"Princess, it's me who lost my words, don't be surprised, just because I didn't say it."

Everyone thinks she's a vain woman, right?

The rumors outside must be extremely ugly, right?

Xia Chuqi's mood sank, like pressing a boulder that could no longer be moved, and the wood sculpture froze.

Yan Ergui looked at her, suddenly his knees weakened, he knelt down directly on his knees, and lowered his head, "The princess wants to marry someone else, it was originally the princess's own business, and I believe that His Royal Highness is also willing to be good to you." However, His Highness has just left...... Is it okay, please wait a little for the sake of Her Royal Highness's face. When everyone forgets about him, forgets those things...... Remarry. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Another word came out of his mouth, and Yan Ergui seemed to hesitate, "Princess, there is a sentence that I know I shouldn't say, and I'm not qualified to say anything......"

"Okay."

Yan Ergui added in a whisper, Xia Chuqi suddenly came back to his senses, laughed lowly, wiped his eyes, and pursed his lips again, "Look at me, I'm too angry." What's that, Brother Ghost, tell everyone...... If I have something, I won't be polite to them, and I'll let A Yi know. ”

"Princess...... Don't be upset. ”

She couldn't accept it, she didn't want to admit that she was so weak.

But now, there is a place for Chen Jing, but there is no Zhao Bottle.

Usually, where there is Zhao Bottle, there will be Chen Jing.

It can be said that all the way she and Zhao Zhu have Chen Jing's figure.

Because Chen Jing always follows Zhao Zhu.

In fact, Xia Chuqi knew about Chen Jing, Yuan You and Chen Daniu. Especially Chen Jing, who was made a general and received the affairs of the forbidden army, actually often appeared in this imperial city. It was actually easy for her to meet him, but subconsciously, she didn't take the initiative to find Chen Jing, and she didn't even want to see him.

But...... Can it still be the same as when Zhao Nineteen was there?

The last few words, he said almost with emotion.

Yan Ergui let out a light "oh", and said in a hoarse voice, "General Chen said, no matter what decision the princess makes, we will support it, if there is anything that needs our help, you can just give it...... We're still ...... as before As it was when His Highness was there...... No one has changed......"

"Look at you, you have also been a scout, and the words are far away, what did Brother Chen say?"

Xia Chuqi clenched his palms, raised his head slightly, and smiled lightly.

"When it comes to His Highness, the big guys are always drunk."

A seven-foot man, talking and talking, was choked uncontrollably.

"It's fine." After the two words came out, Yan Ergui lowered his head slightly, "Now that General Chen has led the defense of the imperial city and is in charge of the Jingshi Praetorian Guard, he is very busy." However, the brothers still often make appointments to eat in the Juxian Building in the east of the city, and the little grandfather Yuan and the Marquis of Ding'an often come...... That is, when it comes to His Highness......"

Xia Chuqi looked sideways, "Brother Chen, he ...... Are you okay? ”

"Okay." Yan Ergui didn't refute, slowly stood up, glanced at her, and was silent for a moment, although his voice was extremely low, he could still hear a faint trace of loneliness, "Princess, when I came to the palace, Chief Chen's guard...... No, General Chen, he asked me to bring you a word. ”

"It's not too early, let Erbao's father-in-law send you out."

She walked up to the second ghost step by step and lowered her voice.

But in the end, it's still creation that makes people.

Xia Chuqi looked at Yan Er's red eyes, and the long-lost "princess" in his ears kept echoing, but it was so sour that it kept hitting his chest, and he couldn't stop throbbing. At that time, she was also waiting for the end of the Northern Expedition with hope, waiting for her to put on a red veil and a golden phoenix crown to be the princess of Jin who was married to Zhao Shijiu.

"You're welcome. As a father, it is normal for people to want to take a look at their children. ”

"Princess...... You have a heart, and your subordinates are grateful. ”

A "eunuch" dressed in eunuch costume paused and knelt down on one knee in front of her.

"Did you see Yaya?"

Xia Chuqi lay on the desk, his thin shoulders trembled slightly, he never looked up, and his lower lip was bitten tightly, and he didn't make a sound. It wasn't until there was a low sound of footsteps in the hall that she wiped her eyes on her sleeves and looked up with a smile.

"Zhao Nineteen, you wait for me again...... Be sure to wait for me ......."

For a long time, he covered his face with his hands, buried his head deeply, and muttered in a low voice.

Elbowed on the desk, she held her cheeks, looked at the window flowers and smiled.

Speaking of which, she admires herself a little. Finally, three feet of dust wrapped in her original intention, and I don't know when she started, she has slowly become the kind of person she used to hate the most - calculation and hypocrisy.

And Yueyu...... I wonder if I will use the cloth to wipe my buttocks?

But she stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling person, all she wanted was Concubine Gong's opinion.

Although she knew they were not short of these things.

After about half an hour, Zhao Ziyue left the Chuci Hall with a bunch of gifts that had been prepared early on the seventh day of the summer month and left the Chuci Hall with a smile. Among these large and small gifts, there are small toys prepared for Yaya, food specially made for Concubine Gong, and precious clothes for Yueyu, etc.

This time, the seventh day of the summer month was silent.

Her eyes were slightly bright, and Zhao Ziyue smiled at the corner of her mouth, "It's just to make you laugh, just be happy." ”

She sighed, "It's above board...... My princess. ”

was originally such a sad sentence, but Zhao Ziyue said it as a joke.

Xia Chuqi's mouth twitched again.

"Chu Qi, I hope that one day, Yaya can call me a mother's ...... in the open."

Sure enough, maybe she couldn't find a suitable person in the past two years, Zhao Ziyue held back too many words in her heart, and she kept talking about pouring beans from the bamboo tube, until Yaya was hugged back by Qinglan with her little hand again, she wiped her eyes, smiled with tears, and stopped the topic.

She thought, maybe Zhao Ziyue needed more to tell than to be relieved.

Xia Chuqi looked at her with a solemn expression and didn't make a sound.

It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but it seems that she is also worried.

"Chu Qi, I'm a little scared, you said that I chose a colt and got married, and Yaya will really become my sister, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for my mother and daughter to meet in the future, and they won't be able to recognize each other when they meet...... I don't want to be like that...... I'll not hide it from you, I've been having nightmares lately, dreaming that the girl has been crying and shouting for her mother to hug, and my heart is uncomfortable...... But what if I don't marry? I'm a person who doesn't know anything, I don't depend on my father, I can't even support myself, let alone Yaya......"

Zhao Ziyue shook her head, "That day, there were too many people on the school ground, I don't know which one was him." But I ......" Her eyes were hot, and she was incoherent.

Seeing her eyes flickering, Xia Chuqi hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Have you seen him?" ”

"Chu Qi, two years ago...... On the day my nineteenth brother set out on the expedition, I went to ......"

Zhao Ziyue saw her teasing herself, laughed for a while, and suddenly changed the topic.

"Where is Princess Ziyue's little overlord temper? Now it's so polite, but I'm not used to it. Besides, the little clothes were made by Mei Zi and Qing Lan last night...... Me? I was in charge of overseer, sleeping, receiving goods, and nothing else, of course, I couldn't do it. ”

"Look at what you say." Xia Chuqi snorted lightly, got up with a smile and cleaned his hands, and came back to sit in front of Zhao Ziyue, the corners of his mouth went up, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Thank you, Chu Qi."

Zhao Ziyue glanced at her and stuck out her tongue.

Qinglan nodded, smiled and hugged the maid and went out.

"Okay, Miss Seven."

Xia Chuqi handed the maid who was still dancing with her hands to Qinglan, and ordered with a smile, "You take the little princess to wash my ass and change her clothes...... That's right, just put on the little clothes I prepared for you, and wear them out for Princess Ziyue to see, it's not beautiful. ”

"Don't, don't, sit down and talk to me." The corners of Xia Chuqi's lips lifted slightly, stopped her, and shouted softly outside, and Qinglan soon came in.

Zhao Ziyue was used to seeing these things, and she looked a little embarrassed, so she couldn't help laughing, and was about to come over to pick up the child, "Come, give me the stinky villain, I'll get her." ”

"Yaya peeed."

"Ah......h

Seeing that she was obviously the same as Concubine Gong, she also had displeasure in her heart, but every word was comfort and tolerance, Xia Chuqi felt a touch of warmth in her heart and smiled. I have to say that time is really the most changeable thing for people, a little princess who doesn't know the taste of sorrow, tricky and willful, never knows the suffering of the world, and now she is crazy and knows how to understand the difficulty of others.

"Marry me, I know my nineteenth brother, he wishes you well."

Zhao Ziyue looked at her for a moment, watched her words flicker, and finally said "oh" lightly, and didn't ask empatheticly, took a candied fruit on the table, bit off half of it and ate it, stuffed the other half into Yaya's small mouth, watched her chew it, and showed a smile again.

"** Don't leave ten...... Maybe get married soon. ”

Her pupils shrank, she coughed lightly, and didn't look at Zhao Ziyue's face.

Countless people have asked this question before, but Xia Chuqi can answer it calmly and calmly. But this time, looking at Zhao Ziyue and Ya Ya Niang's bright eyes like black grapes, she suddenly felt that she had lost a little courage, a dusty heart, so gray that she couldn't open it to see people.

Zhao Ziyue glared at her, "After all, my heart is about to become a sea, and I feel uncomfortable." I have to ask you, do you really want to marry the imperial grandson? ”

At the beginning of the summer, Qi's lips twitched slightly, "...... In my heart, I will not burst into tears. ”

After speaking, she sniffed, seeing that Xia Chuqi had no expression, and after careful consideration, she lowered her voice, "Chu Qi, I didn't want to ask these words." But if I don't ask, I'll be in tears all the time......"

"Chu Qi......" Zhao Ziyue's lips trembled, "I miss my brother." ”

Xia Chuqi glanced at her, wiped the mouth that had been spitting bubbles for the girl in his arms, and still just smiled, "Your nineteenth brother was originally going to wait for the end of this Northern Expedition to return to the court, so he talked to your father and the emperor, and recruited the ghost brother to take the horse." In this way, your family of three can be together, and if Brother Ghost bullies you in the future, he can still stand up for you and take care of him for you. ”

Zhao Ziyue bit her lower lip, didn't speak, and lowered her eyes.

"Your nineteenth brother said that since ancient times, women's marriage has been the fate of their parents, and not everyone has the opportunity to choose a husband, and his sister's concubine, he has to choose it well if he has the opportunity. He also said that the ghost brother was indeed a little frizzy when he was a wild boy before. But now after these things, he is also a responsible man. ”

Xia Chuqi was afraid that she would be sad, so she smiled lightly, and there was not much emotion on her face.

"What did my nineteenth brother say about me?"

Zhao Ziyue is only sixteen years old this year, even if the people are precocious at the time, she is not the opponent of "old fritters" like Xia Chuqi. With a simple sentence, her attention was drawn away.

"Azusa." She patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, "rescued" the maid from her arms, and changed the topic with a smile, "When I was in Mobei, I often talked about you with your nineteenth brother. ”

The one-and-a-half-year-old girl can already speak simple words and recognize people. She now calls Emperor Hongtai her father, Concubine Gong her mother, and her biological mother Zhao Ziyue...... Call sister. With such a heart-wrenching scene, even a hard-hearted person like Xia Chuqi who has seen the love between the two worlds can't help but sigh.

"Sister...... Sister ......"

"Yaya ......"

Every time she spit out the title of "sister" from the little girl's small mouth, Zhao Ziyue couldn't help but feel a little sad. Now in front of the deceased, he probably no longer has a defense in his heart, he was slightly stunned, hugged Yaya, and began to roll golden beans.

"Woo...... the little girl's mouth flattened, "Sister, sister beats ......"

"Yaya, don't eat." Zhao Ziyue slapped her little hand and dragged the wolf teeth out.

Zhao Ziyue smiled lightly, reached out and opened the small printed collar on the outside of Yaya, only to see that the string of wolf teeth taken out by Yan Ergui himself was hanging on the neck of the little guy. The little girl seemed to like it too, and when she turned it out, she stretched out her little hand and grabbed it and sent it to her small mouth.

Thinking of this, she asked with a warm face: "Ziyue, last year, your nineteenth brother brought back a string of wolf teeth from Mobei, and the wolf teeth were carved with a small Buddha, have you received it?" ”

At this point, her concept and Zhao Ziyue's concepts are naturally completely different. But for a moment, she couldn't change Ziyue's inherent old concepts. What's more, in her thoughts, she still hopes that Yaya can have a biological father who really loves her and can be with her biological parents, so that it can be considered complete. Moreover, in ancient times, marrying was to bet on a woman's life happiness, and there was no reason to regret starting over. No one can say what the character of Zhao Ziyue's other husband is, but the ghost brother is familiar with him, at least even Zhao Shijiu's old fox is optimistic about him, and no matter how wrong he is, he can't be far from wrong.

Xia Chuqi was silent.

“……”

Zhao Ziyue raised her head suddenly, her eyes turned red, "Chu Qi, I don't know what to do." I have given birth to this child, how can I pretend that nothing has happened, and marry someone else? There is no woman's virtue in doing so. ”

"Why didn't you say it?"

Xia Chuqi smiled and looked at the dazzling Liufu green hosta on her head.

It seems to be considering, and it seems to be sad.

At this point, she fell into a long silence.

Zhao Ziyue smiled slightly, lowered her head with her gaze, and fiddled with the lid of the tea bowl in her hand, "A few years ago, my father and mother had been choosing a horse with me, and the candidates were basically drawn up, all of them were the sons of the big family in Beijing, and I heard my father say that his character and appearance were okay...... But then there was a matter of the nineteenth elder brother, and it was delayed again. I was relieved, I didn't want to, two days ago, the mother concubine brought it up again and asked me which son-in-law I thought was good......"

"You can't, you'll be like this all your life, you're a princess......"

"What are you going to do?"

"Ziyue, do you have any plans for the future?"

Xia Chuqi's eyes paused slightly, looking at Zhao Ziyue's pink little face, but he didn't feel embarrassed about his identity, but he was simply worried about her alone.

"Oh, that doesn't seem right. Should...... You should call her little aunt. ”

"What's your aunt's name? Zhao Ziyue interrupted her with a smile, but when she said this, she probably thought of her current embarrassing identity, as well as Yaya's identity as embarrassing as her, her pear-like delicate complexion changed slightly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, and tidied up her clothes.......

Xia Chuqi is used to the title of the later generations, and casually teases the little girl.

"Yaya, call your aunt ......"

As she spoke, she smiled and lowered her head, looking carefully at the fleshy little girl in her arms, "Isn't it, girl?" "The child was almost a year old and looked like her mother. Zhao Ziyue was born good-looking, and Yaya is also a little beauty embryo, with a pair of big black eyes like two waves of water. And the little girl doesn't recognize life, she is happy when she teases, and she "giggles" when she is happy, and the two little short legs keep jumping on her legs, which makes people feel very happy.

"Don't be ashamed, boast about yourself."

Seeing her twisting her two fingers and gesturing a little, Xia Chuqi squinted her eyes and smiled.

"Still, it's a little bit worse than me."

"It's an honor to be praised by Princess Ziyue."

"Yes."

"Is there one?" Xia Chuqi touched his face.

"Chu Qi, you have become beautiful......"

Listening to her relaxed tone, Zhao Ziyue also bent her lips and smiled.

"Ziyue, you've lost weight."

The atmosphere froze for a moment, Xia Chuqi smiled lightly, glanced at Zhao Ziyue, and withdrew the girls and eunuchs who were waiting in the palace, and when only the two of them were left, she reached out and took the girl in Zhao Ziyue's arms.

At that time, on the seventh day of the summer month, a hot-blooded woman who didn't know how to worry.

Zhao Ziyue at that time, a fourteen-year-old unruly little princess.

Time is really a pig-killing knife.

In the brief meeting in the Rouyi Hall that day, Xia Chuqi and Zhao Ziyue didn't have time to say a word, and now that the two meet again, it looks like they met for the first time in two years. Looking at each other's hands, thinking of the deceased Zhao Bottle, they couldn't help but have astringency in their eyes.

Knowing that he was coming, the Chutz hall was busy early in the morning. Qinglan set up a small rosewood table in front of the window, and the two of her sat on the bench on the side, and the girls were busy.

At the request of Xia Chuqi, she also brought the little princess Yaya by the way.

Two days later, after lunch, Zhao Ziyue led Qingteng over.

……

……

"Hmph, I have a good plan. Simply kill two birds with one stone, saving more trouble. ”

Emperor Hong Taidi turned his head to look at him, and his eyebrows suddenly brightened.

Cui Yingda slapped his hand, "Your Majesty? ”

"Choi Young-da!"

"Cui Yingda, you are old." Listening to the old eunuch chattering non-stop, Emperor Hong Tai let out a long sigh, stopped talking, and leaned on the couch with his eyes closed. After a long while, I don't know what he thought of again, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were sharp.

"Your Majesty, the old slave will watch, this matter is easy to say, but in order not to make the imperial grandson suspicious, it is better to be careful, after all, the relationship between the imperial grandson and His Majesty is more important, in case it is discovered by the imperial grandson...... Coupled with those previous things, I'm afraid he will complain about His Majesty. ”

Emperor Hong Tai raised his head and snorted lightly, "Waste! ”

Cui Yingda sighed in his heart, and heard that there seemed to be annoyance in his tone, so he hurriedly responded: "Back to Your Majesty, today Xiao Zengzi came to report, saying that the concubine has been suffering from abdominal pain in the past two days, and the imperial grandson has not left the bed all day to accompany her, although it has not caused a slippery tire, it is almost ......."

"What's wrong with that kid in Zeqiuin?"

The hall was silent for a long time, and Emperor Hongtai asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Yingda waited cautiously, observing the emperor's expression from time to time, seeing that he closed his eyes and his face was calm, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and did not dare to spit out another half a word, but just pressed it intently.

"Take a shoulder for me, these days are idle, maybe I have slept too much, and I am very stiff."

"Thank you, old slave, for your kindness." Cui Yingda bowed and quickly got up.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Hong Tai's anger finally went down, wiped the corners of his mouth, snorted angrily, glanced at him, and a rare smile appeared on his face, "Don't say it's good-looking." I don't know you yet? I've been a peacemaker all my life, and when I'm old, can I change my temper? …… Get up. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave knows ...... wrong"

Emperor Hong Tai coughed, and Cui Yingda hurriedly knelt over and handed over a bright yellow scarf.

"Looks like I'm going to give you a nickname, Cui Dashanren?"

"The old slave didn't dare. The old slave just thought ...... Your Majesty is now in poor health, you should cultivate yourself, be less angry, less tired, less worried, and don't care about those things. That's why I want to persuade Your Majesty. Seeing that Emperor Hongtai's face looked better, he said gently, "People often say that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and Your Majesty is the same, it is important to take care of your own body and bones." ”

Cui Yingda was startled, stopped patting her back, and quickly brushed off the corner of her robe and knelt down.

Emperor Hong Tai pointed at him tremblingly, his eyes full of reproach, "Cui Yingda, am I too old to be deaf?" You're trying to coax me like this? Whether she is a peaceful person or not, if you don't say it, I also know. ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry......" Cui Yingda hesitated, leaned over his back, and whispered respectfully: "I heard that the girl is quite peaceful, and Concubine Gong humiliated her like that, she didn't reply." The old slave felt that the nineteenth master was gone, and she seemed to be a different person, and her heart was a lot more restrained. ”

"Originally, I thought that not many people knew about the Xia family, but now it's good, my grandson wants to marry my son's woman, and my son once robbed my grandson's woman, and the rumors are messy, and I am in an uproar, and my old face has been lost by them...... In my opinion, that Xia Chu is not a phoenix life, it should be a scourge life. Since she has been beaten, the old nineteen are gone, and now Mianze is obsessed with her, and if it goes on like this, I think this Dayan country will be destroyed in her hands sooner or later. ”

Emperor Hong Tai wanted to speak, but his throat suddenly itched, and he turned sideways again, leaned on the head of the bed and coughed fiercely a few times, panting for a while before he stroked his chest and snorted.

"I said I was watching Yaya, and it happened to happen."

Seeing Cui Yingda hanging his eyelids and not saying a word, he raised his eyes again and asked with a little doubt: "It's just that the Dongfang Clan has not been out of the East Palace for a long time, why did he actually lead Ziyue to the Rouyi Palace?" ”

After gasping for a while, he sat up straight, took a sip of warm water and rinsed his mouth, his face was still angry, and said: "The Xia family is a good means, not a master of dissipation, you wait and see, with her, such things are indispensable in this palace." ”

"You don't have to go!" Emperor Hong Taidi waved his hand, "I'm too lazy to listen to their nagging." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is angry." Cui Yingda waited beside him, seeing that he was coughing tightly, and while smoothing his breath for him, he whispered worriedly, "You lie down and breathe first, and the old slave will go to the imperial doctor." In the past few days, the more I eat the decoction, the better I go. ”

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! It's a mess. ”

When Emperor Hongtai, who had lived in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, got the news, he was shocked, his old face was wrinkled, and he also had more than a trace of annoyance, his throat was thick with phlegm, and he coughed non-stop.

The story about the ambiguous "Seventh Lady" in the East Palace who was severely beaten by Concubine Gong Niangniang, but was helped by Princess Yide and Princess Ziyue, soon spread in many different versions. Among them, the ambiguous relationship between the "Seventh Lady" and the dead "His Royal Highness the King of Jin", and even the rumors that the death of the King of Jin was related to the emperor's grandson also flew away like wings. There are many words in the palace condemning Miss Seven for being "shameless", "unchaste" and "unclean", but they don't know where to start, but they are extremely unbearable.

It's just that who knows everything? The most feared thing in life is rumors.

The Imperial City is a big place, because it locks the world and the lives of many people. But the Imperial City is also very small, because it only takes a few hours for a rare thing to blow into everyone's ears like a spring breeze.
