Hearing her words, Hongshi came back to his senses and bowed and said: "Hongshi has seen Xi Guifei, and the concubine is auspicious!" Although he was talking to Ling Ruo, his gaze still did not leave Xu Changzai.

Ling Ruo ignored his gaze and said, "Second elder brother is exempt, did you enter the palace to see the queen?" ”

Hongshi finally took his eyes off Xu Changzai and said, "Yes, today, the emperor's mother is grounded and released, and Hongshi naturally wants to come to greet the emperor's mother." ”

Ling Ruo chuckled and said: "The second elder brother is so filial, the queen mother must be very pleased, speaking of which, the palace has not gone to greet the queen mother, but it can't be forgotten later." ”

Hongshi lowered his eyes and said: "During the period when Huang Eniang was grounded, she has been thinking about the concubine Niangniang, if she sees you, she will be very happy." Saying this, he glanced at Xu Changzai, who had just raised his head, and was so frightened that the latter hurriedly lowered his head again, lest he stare at him again, "Niangniang, I don't know who this is......"

Seeing Hongshi, he finally couldn't help but ask about Xu Changzai, Ling Ruo smiled and said: "I saw that the palace was talking to the second elder brother, but I forgot to say that this is Xu Changzai, who just entered the palace last year." ”

Hongshi's heart sank, although he had already seen from Xu Chang's dress that she was a palace concubine, but when he confirmed it from Ling Ruo's mouth, he was still quite disappointed.

If it is a palace maid, he can ask the emperor to ask for it and let her follow him, but the palace concubine ...... Mo said that the emperor would not agree, even he himself would not mention it, because ...... It's simply not possible. When the palace concubine was elected to the palace, she was already destined to be the emperor for the rest of her life, and she could not leave the palace unless she died, and even if she left, she could not get rid of the identity of the royal family.

He suppressed the disappointment in his heart and arched his hand: "Hongshi has seen Xu Changzai. ”

Xu Changzai hurriedly said: "Second elder brother doesn't have to be polite. While talking, Hiroshi happened to see the silk handkerchief she was holding in her hand, and the corner of the silk handkerchief was embroidered with a forsythia.

For a while, the past struck again, and his mind was confused, and he remembered that his favorite thing before Jia was stranger was forsythia, and he could often see forsythia embroidered lifelike on his handkerchief or between the sleeves of his clothes.

Thinking of this, Hongshi said tentatively: "Does Xu Changzai also like forsythia?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Chang didn't react for a while, but Ling Ruo was quick to see the opportunity, and said with a smile: "The second elder brother has seen it really carefully, and even found out that Xu Changzai's favorite is this forsythia embroidered on the handkerchief." ”

Hearing this, Xu Changzai also reacted, and said in a low voice: "Yes, although the forsythia flowers are small, they are full of golden branches, gorgeous and lovely." ”

Hongshi nodded without saying a word, and after being silent for a while, he arched his hand towards Ling Ruo and Xu Changzai: "Hongshi still has something to do, so retire first." ”

"Second elder brother walk slowly." In Ling Ruo's words, Hongshi turned to leave, and as his gaze swept over him, Xu Changzai unexpectedly saw a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

After Hongshi walked away, Xu Changzai whispered: "Niangniang, do you think that the second elder brother looks at people strangely?" ”

"Is there one? Hongu doesn't think so. After Ling Ruo said lightly, he said: "That's it, don't talk about this, it's not too early to see this hour, why don't you accompany you to see Concubine Jinniang?" ”

Xu Changzai was about to nod, when he suddenly remembered the purple magnolia that Caidie said before, and said, "Caidie said that it was near the palace gate, why didn't you see it?" ”

Caidie hurriedly said: "The slave maid remembers that she did see it here, but for some reason she can't find it now, maybe the slave maid remembered it wrong." ”

Ling Ruo pretended to be unhappy and said, "You girl, how can you be so reckless in doing things, causing this palace and Xu Chang to run for nothing." ”

Hearing this, Caidie hurriedly bent her knees and said: "The slave deserves to die, please forgive the master and Xu Changzai." ”

Seeing this, Xu Changzai persuaded: "That's it, it's not a big deal, don't blame her, Niangniang." ”

Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said to Caidie: "This palace is for Xu Chang's sake, I don't blame you this time, I can't be so reckless in the future." ”

"Slaves and maids remember the teachings of their masters and never commit them again." Saying this, Caidie thanked Xu Chang for a while, and then followed all the way to Xianfu Palace.

For some reason, Xu Chang didn't feel anything when he came to Xianfu Palace in the past, but this time he felt that something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the palace gate, but he couldn't say anything specifically.

When the two of them walked into the courtyard, Guerjia also walked out of it, and the eyes that had always been calm contained a trace of coldness that Xu Chang couldn't understand.

Guerjia's gaze swept over Ling Ruo's face, and then he bent his knees and said, "The concubine has seen the noble concubine Niangniang, the concubine Jin'an." "When outsiders are around, the Guerjia clan will salute Ling Ruo's noble concubine like others, so as not to make a mistake.

"Sister, please." When Ling Ruo reached out to help, the Guerjia clan avoided it without a trace, causing Ling Ruo to help him in the air, but he withdrew his hand silently.

On the other side, Xu Changzai was already saluting the Guerjia clan, and said: "The concubine did not come to see the mother in time, and asked the mother to forgive the sin, the concubine did not mean to, but ......"

Ling Ruo explained: "It was the palace that asked Xu Changzai to accompany the palace to walk around the imperial garden, so she came late, please sister don't blame her." ”

Guerjia said indifferently: "It is her honor for Xu Changzai to accompany her mother to visit the imperial garden, how can the concubine blame her, and the concubine is just idle, please Xu Changzai come over to talk, there is nothing important." After that, she said to Xu Changzai: "It's nothing, you can go back." ”

"Yes, the concubine retired." Xu Changzai has always felt that this Xianfu Palace is strange today, but now that the Guerjia clan has let him leave, he naturally retreats quickly.

After Xu Changzai left, the Guerjia clan also turned around and walked in, seeing her like this, Ling Ruo sighed softly, followed her into the hall, and after the Guerjia clan sat down, she said softly: "Sister is angry with me?" ”

Guerjia glanced at her and spit out a cold word, "The concubine doesn't dare!" ”

"Sister!" Ling Ruo squatted on his knees in front of the Guerjia clan, held her hand and said: "I know that you are angry with me, but I told my sister very clearly at the time, I will deal with this matter, please sister don't interfere, why do you still have to do this, why do you refuse to listen to my persuasion?" ”

Guerjia looked at her fixedly, and only after a long time did he speak: "What about you?" Anyway, I have already intervened in this matter, why don't you let me continue to do it, why do you want to intervene horizontally, and you want to bring Xu Changzai to the second elder brother by yourself, do you know that Lu Dao will be very dangerous like this? Although Gualga was very angry, when it came to the back, he couldn't help but reveal worry.
