In the drizzle, the carriage of the Xiao Mansion stopped outside the imperial city, and the palace maids of Changle Palace stood at the palace gate, waiting quietly with their chariots beside them.

Xiao Xiang'er, who was dressed in a long black dress, was helped out of the carriage by Qiao'e, carrying a Xiao package in her hand, which was full of trivial items bought from the market and Qujiangchi last night.

Although Xu Buling was not able to be called to make this trip out of the palace a lot of color, but after all, it was much more interesting than the boring deep palace, Xiao Xiang'er still had a lot of fun, didn't close her eyes all night, and Qiao'e lay on the big lawn by the Qujiang Pond to watch the stars feed the mosquitoes, and also set off fireworks and ate a lot of sugar gourds, just like at home in Huainan back then, knowing that it was raining lightly in the early morning, so she reluctantly got into the carriage.

In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn, Xiao Xiang'er returned to Changle Palace for the first time as a 'guest', sat in front of the soft couch, and looked back at Chang'an in the rain.

Maybe it's just this one chance in a lifetime, if my sister didn't leave, maybe I could come out a few more times, and I must call Xu Buling next time......

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiang'er frowned slightly, put away her mind, and turned herself back into the queen mother who carried the family honor and etiquette, sat on the chariot dignified and polite, and entered the palace.

Qiao'e was a little unhappy, covered her mouth with her hand, and leaned in front of Bu Yuan and whispered:

"Miss, the 'Queen Mother' definitely didn't sleep well last night, the palace is lifeless, and it's scary when it's raining and windy......"

Xiao Xiang'er snorted lightly, maintained the posture of the head of the Xiao family, and sat on the chariot in a proper manner: "She is bold, ghosts are afraid of her, and she will definitely turn things over in a mess when she has nothing to do......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiang'er suddenly frowned - she won't turn my small box out, right? The quail eggs and the villain are still inside......

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiang'er's eyes were slightly panicked, and she urged Bu Yuan to hurry up and run to the dormitory, so she got down and ran outside the dormitory on foot.

In the early morning, the palace maids were preparing breakfast, and the five big and three thick orchids were standing under the eaves, and they were being reprimanded by Xiao Qi, who had a cold face:

"Did you fall asleep last night?"

Orchid was more honest, just bowed her head: "No, what happened last night?" ”

Xiao Qi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said coldly: "There were birds flying around outside the window last night, and you didn't notice it?" ”

Orchid's face was dazed, she really found everything.

When Xiao Xiang'er saw this scene, she only thought that this sister with an excellent mind was frightened by the cold environment of the deep palace, and stepped forward and smiled:

"Queen Mother, just a few birds, it's not a big deal."

"No big deal?"

Xiao Qi's eyes showed a trace of shame and humiliation, but some words obviously couldn't be said, she tightened the phoenix skirt on her body, turned around and walked into the dormitory:

"You come in with me, and the others go down."

"Yes!"

The maid palace maid was silent and hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Xiang'er blinked, a little confused, followed into the dormitory, turned around and closed the door:

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qi clutched the corner of her skirt tightly and walked back and forth in the room, her expression was as calm as ever, but her eyes were a little chaotic. After walking a few steps, he sat down on the soft couch and said in a cold voice:

"Xiao Xiang'er, you always confess, what have you done in the palace all these years?"

Xiao Xiang'er was a little inexplicable, walked to the side and sat down, looking at her sister who was a little angry:

"I've been here for ten years, and it's a luxury to even get sick, what can I do?"

Xiao Qi pursed her lips, seeing that Xiao Xiang'er was still pretending to be innocent, she naturally felt a little angry in her heart, but she also knew that her sister had not had an easy time over the years. The man last night, handsome and incomparable, those poems must have been sent by that man, under the clever tongue, it is normal for my sister to fail to withstand the temptation, if it is directly broken, with Xiang'er's temperament, I have no face to see people and have to commit suicide. This matter can only be handled by her, who is an older sister......

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi's anger also disappeared a little, sat up straight, and looked at his sisters seriously:

"Xiang'er, I know that you have a miserable life, but no matter how bitter and tired you are, you have to remember that your surname is 'Xiao'. My sons and daughters of the Xiao family are by no means those barbarian and foolish women in the market, who take the world as their own responsibility, and their honor and disgrace, reputation and even life and death can be thrown away, you must remember your identity. ”

Xiao Xiang'er nodded lightly, she always remembered that in order not to cause chaos in the world, she also sacrificed herself to save Xu Buling. Consciously have a clear conscience, and naturally be confident:

"You don't need to teach me this, I remember it better than you."

“……”

Xiao Qi frowned slightly, and wanted to take out the things under the bed and slap them directly on her sister's face. But that's not how it was done. She thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"I'm my sister, sitting in the Huainan Xiao family, even if you are married, I can still manage you. If you find out that you didn't do it right that day, and 'correct' it a little, you can't blame me as a sister. ”

Xiao Xiang'er nodded, a little bored: "You have been in charge of me since I was a child, and it's not the first time, as long as you are right, when did I blame you?" ”

Xiao Qi nodded, she didn't say much about this sentence, and when she left the palace and imprisoned the harmful 'face head', Xiang'er found out that the face head was missing, and she would naturally understand her words today. It's just a face, she knows her sister's temperament, not a fool in the market, she will naturally forget about her mistakes after she knows her mistakes, and when the time comes, bury the man, and the matter will be over......

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi stood up, took off the big red phoenix robe on his body and threw it aside, and stretched out his hand:

"Give me back your clothes."

Xiao Xiang'er was actually a little reluctant, and thought about it: "Today's family banquet, I haven't been back for a long time, or ......."

Xiao Qi's eyes sank slightly: "Today, the prince of King Su came to the banquet, the stakes are very high, what's the use of you going, stay in the palace honestly...... I'll come back in a few days. ”

When Xiao Xiang'er heard this, she naturally didn't want to say much under her weak heart, and while taking off her robe, she looked at the phoenix bed inside, and was a little puzzled:

"How did you change all the bedding and pillows?"

The look in Xiao Qi's eyes changed slightly, and he crossed his arms and looked away:

"I drank too much last night, threw up on the bed, and threw it all away."

"Huh~"

Xiao Xiang'er's eyes were full of disgust, and after a little pondering, her face became nervous again: "What kind of wine did you drink?" ”

"I've thrown away the poisoned wine, I'm really bored in the future, just send me a letter, I'll come over to accompany you for a few days, don't keep thinking about looking for death......"

Xiao Qi said this, and sighed softly, and was a little hesitant about what to do with that face head - maybe it would be better to be castrated and sent to the palace as a eunuch, although he couldn't satisfy his sister, but the dead face head was very powerful, and he should be able to relieve his sister a little lonely...... In the deep palace, food is very common, it is not uncommon for concubines who have fallen out of favor to mix with eunuchs, Xiang'er is the queen mother, even if the saint knows it today, the other party is a eunuch and is not a man, so he will not be too annoyed when he thinks about it...... It's better than my sister being suffocated alive......
