Ling Xi walked briskly in the Xiyan Palace, as if he was looking for something. Early in the morning, she didn't see Xiang Yiyi come to greet her, for a while, Xiang Yiyi was always sullen, and rarely left Xiyan Palace, which was very different from the lively personality in the past. Since Xiao Xiangxiang gave birth to a daughter, Xiang Hongxuan has been staying in Guanju Palace for longer and longer, I am afraid that Xiang Yiyi has been somewhat neglected, and Xiang Yiyi will be so lost. Thinking of this, Ling Xi couldn't help but worry about getting up to Yiyi, and her steps became more and more urgent.

But Ling Xi walked around the entire Xiyan Palace, and didn't find Xiang Yiyi's figure, she originally thought that Xiang Yiyi was playing in the courtyard of the apse, but she looked carefully in the apse for a long time, and still didn't see Xiang Yiyi, Ling Xi couldn't help but wonder, where did Xiang Yiyi go?

After a while, Xin'er also came to the inner hall, and she said softly: "Queen Mother, the slaves and maids in the entire imperial garden have been carefully searched, and they haven't seen the princess of the southern kingdom, I don't know where the princess has gone?" ”

Ling Xi looked at the palace people kneeling in the inner hall, and said unhappily, "Where has the princess of the southern kingdom gone?" Why didn't anyone come to the Jiaofang Hall to report. ”

Perhaps seeing Ling Xi's somewhat angry expression, the palace people in the hall trembled, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Ling Xi frowned, Xiang Yiyi should not have gone to Xiang Hongxuan, otherwise these palace people would not be so afraid, she vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple.

"The palace people of Xiyan Palace are really bold, they don't serve the princess of the southern country wholeheartedly, are you so bold to see that this Xiyan Palace has no master? Why don't you tell me where the princess of the southern country is? ”

Under Ling Xi's roar, the palace people on the ground became even more frightened, and they all slammed their heads on the ground, for fear of angering Ling Xi, and a palace person replied timidly: "Queen Mother, how dare the slaves and maids not serve the princess of the southern kingdom wholeheartedly, but the princess is indeed not in the Xiyan Palace, and Her Royal Highness the princess was picked up by Aunt Lian of the Guan Ju Palace early in the morning." ”

Ling Xi was taken aback, it was actually Xiao Xiangxiang, no wonder the palace people didn't dare to say it clearly, she didn't think that Xiao Xiangxiang could care for Xiang Yiyi, what did Xiao Xiangxiang want to do when she took Xiang Yiyi to Guanju Palace at this time?

"Did Concubine De say when she would send the princess back from the southern kingdom?" Ling Xi asked.

"Queen Niang, Aunt Lian of Guan Ju Palace said that there are too few children in the harem, Concubine De is sympathetic to the two princesses, if the two princesses can play together from time to time, they will not be too lonely, Your Majesty has also given permission, in the future, the princess of the southern kingdom will be raised by Concubine De Niangniang, and she will grow up with Princess Leyang, and the princess of the southern kingdom will not return to Xiyan Palace." The palace man whispered.

When Ling Xi heard that Xiang Hongxuan had been gracious, she couldn't help but feel sad. It stands to reason that Xiao Xiangxiang shouldn't put all his thoughts on Bai Qiuci's stomach now? She actually cares about Xiang Yiyi, and the entire harem is afraid that no one believes this set of nonsense except for Xiang Hongxuan's belief in Xiao Xiangxiang's rhetoric. She couldn't help but sneer, and Xiao Xiangxiang began to feel restless again.

Ling Xi looked around at Xiyan Palace, she thought of Feng Yingying, Feng Yingying's love and son were buried in this cold palace, and appeared

Is her daughter going to be her bargaining chip?

Suddenly, Ling Xi smiled strangely, and she whispered to Xin'er: "I heard that Princess Leyang has already begun to babble and start to learn to speak, and this palace is very happy." Xin'er, you go to the nurse, take Princess Leyang to the Jiaofang Palace, and let the palace take a good look at this daughter. ”

....................................................................................................................

Xiao Xiangxiang almost trotted into the Jiaofang Palace, and as soon as she entered the inner hall, she saw Ling Xi sitting on the main seat from a distance, holding her little daughter, coaxing, as if she was waiting for her on purpose.

"The concubine meets the queen." Xiao Xiangxiang saluted Ling Xifu, her restless eyes kept staring at the daughter in Ling Xi's arms, and her nervous heart was beating wildly.

Ling Xi sneered, she deliberately hugged Xiang Xiyuan in her arms, and asked casually, "Concubine De, you came to Jiaofang Hall in such a hurry, what is the so-called matter?" ”

The fire in Xiao Xiangxiang's heart suddenly jumped into her eyes, and she looked at Ling Xi with slightly red eyes, why did she come to Jiaofang Palace, didn't Ling Xi ask knowingly? It seems that she is not wrong, Ling Xi sent someone to bring the Jiaofang Hall to Xiyuan, it is not that simple.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty will go to Guanju Palace for lunch today, I heard that Princess Leyang was carried to Jiaofang Palace by Niangniang, and the concubine was afraid that His Majesty would be disappointed if she didn't see Princess Leyang, so the concubine came to Jiaofang Palace to pick up Princess Leyang back." Xiao Xiangxiang replied respectfully.

Ling Xi leaned sideways slightly, raised his arm slightly, raised Xiang Xiyuan in his arms slightly, and said: "But this palace also likes Princess Leyang very much, if Concubine De takes Princess Leyang away, this palace will also be very disappointed." It's better to do this, Concubine De, you go back first, and later, the palace will invite Your Majesty to come to the Jiaofang Palace to see Princess Leyang, in this way, the palace and Your Majesty will not be lost. ”

Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Xiang Xiyuan, who was swaying slightly up and down in Ling Xi's hand, her eyes were all about Xiang Xiyuan's small body, as if she was afraid that Ling Xi would accidentally drop her daughter to the ground. Xiao Xiangxiang's dry throat said with difficulty: "Queen Mother, the nurse said that Princess Leyang has been a little uncomfortable these days, and if she stays in the Jiaofang Palace, I am afraid that it will disturb the purity of the mother, so it is better to let the concubine take Princess Leyang back to recuperate, and when Princess Leyang is well, the concubine will bring the princess to the Jiaofang Palace." ”

Ling Xi raised his eyebrows and said with some displeasure: "Take it back?" Concubine De, Princess Leyang is the princess of the county personally sealed by His Majesty, according to the rules of the Dongyu harem, only the daughter of the queen can have the title of princess of the county and the princess of the country, Princess Leyang is the same as the princess of the southern country, she is the daughter of the palace, how can she be brought back by Concubine De? ”

Xiao Xiangxiang's heart chuckled, it turned out that Ling Xi was beating her daughter's idea, she looked at Ling Xi with resentful eyes, and inadvertently she bit her lip, it seemed that this lip

The pain gave her a moment of calm.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty did not give you permission to raise Princess Leyang personally, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this."

"Your Majesty, the palace will naturally go to ask for grace in person, so you don't have to worry about Concubine De."

Saying that, Ling hoped to be in Xiang Xiyuan's arms, one of her hands couldn't help but caress Xiang Xiyuan's chubby little face, her hand gently stroked back and forth on the immature face, slowly moved down, and finally landed on Xiang Xiyuan's neck, suddenly her hand tightened, clasping Xiang Xiyuan's small neck, as if a force could strangle the weak life in front of her.

Xiao Xiangxiang's heart almost popped out, she immediately strode towards Ling Xi, and suddenly Ling Xi said: "This palace reminds me of the second prince, back then, Concubine De was misunderstood by Concubine Shu in Xiyan Palace, thinking that she was going to harm the prince, and she almost lost Princess Xiyue by miscarriage. ”

Ling Xi's words were like a dose of medicine, which made Xiao Xiangxiang can't help but stop, and Xiao Xiangxiang instantly thinks about it. Her heart and feet became extremely heavy, she looked at Xiang Xiyuan in Ling Xi's arms, and said helplessly: "Queen Mother, what should the concubine do, you can return Princess Leyang to the concubine." ”

At this time, Xiang Xiyuan in Ling Xi's arms was smiling at her, the corners of Ling Xi's mouth raised slightly, and she said softly: "Concubine De has to take care of Princess Leyang and Princess Nanguo distractedly, Concubine De is afraid that she doesn't have the energy to serve Your Majesty well." The palace just wants to share some of the burden for Concubine De, after all, it is not easy to raise two princesses. ”

As she spoke, Ling Xi's hand swayed at Xiang Xiyuan's neck intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Xiangxiang's fragile and nervous nerves were stirred, her swollen eyes were already overflowing with tears, and she immediately said: "Queen Mother, the concubine knows that her ability is limited and she can't raise two princesses at the same time, so the concubine immediately asked people to send the princess of the southern kingdom back to Xiyan Palace." ”

"No, send it directly to the Jiaofang Palace, this palace thinks that Concubine De should know how to tell Your Majesty."

Xiao Xiangxiang's hands were clenched, her slender nails were deeply sunken into the flesh, and suddenly her white and tender hands were a little red, like a layer of light blood, she replied in a choked voice: "Don't worry, the queen concubine knows what to do." ”

Xiao Xiangxiang hugged Xiang Xiyuan and quickly returned to Guanju Palace, even when she arrived in the inner hall, she still hugged her daughter tightly, and her panicked heart couldn't calm down for a long time, it seemed that her arms strangled Xiang Xiyuan in her arms, and suddenly Xiang Xiyuan cried loudly, Xiao Xiangxiang came back to her senses and quickly coaxed the daughter in her arms.

Lian Yingrong looked at Xiao Xiangxiang's dejected appearance and asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Auntie, just now the palace sent the princess of the southern kingdom to the Jiaofang Palace."

Lian Yingrong was taken aback, and she immediately complained: "Niangniang, you are confused, the princess of the southern kingdom is very useful to us, how can you send it back so easily?" ”

Xiao Xiangxiang looked down at her daughter, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the Jiaofang Palace just now, she said worriedly: "Auntie, you're right, the queen really cares about the princess of the southern kingdom, maybe the princess of the southern kingdom is in the Guanju Palace, and the queen will have no time to take care of the Flower Dance Pavilion, even."

Will cast a rat bogey. But the queen took away the daughter of the palace, if she didn't send the princess of the southern kingdom to the Jiaofang Palace, Princess Leyang might never be able to return to the palace. The queen has changed, and she has become different from before. ”

"What's different?"

"There is not only hatred in the queen's eyes, but also knives." Xiao Xiangxiang said tremblingly.

.....................................................................................................................

Ling Xi looked at Xiang Yiyi, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she couldn't help laughing, she turned her head to Qin'er and said, "Qin'er, you go and clean up the Mu Xixie in the Jiaofang Palace, and in the future, the princess of the southern kingdom will live in the Muxi Pavilion and will not return to the Xiyan Palace." ”

Qin'er immediately withdrew from the house, planning to take someone to Muxie to clean up, but she didn't pay attention to it, and collided with Aunt Yan who was walking into the house quickly, Qin'er screamed in pain, Ling Xi frowned, she glanced at Xiang Yiyi, who was a little frightened on the bed, and immediately looked at Qin'er with displeasure.

Qin'er stopped her voice knowingly and left the house quickly, Aunt Yan dragged her body with some pain, came to Ling Xi's side, and whispered a few words in Ling Xi's ear, Ling Xi's face changed, and she immediately followed Aunt Yan to the outside of the house.

As soon as she saw Ling Xi's Bo Baoling, she immediately fell to the ground, her expression was a little painful, Ling Xi couldn't help but feel a little sad when she looked at Bo Baoling like this, she glanced at Aunt Yan, and Aunt Yan immediately stepped forward to help Bo Baoling.

"Queen Mother, the concubine rashly entered the palace to disturb the purity of the mother, it was the concubine who was reckless, but the incident happened suddenly, the concubine had to enter the palace and take Aze back to the Pingnan Palace, I am afraid that Aze will not be able to enter the palace for a while to accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Southern Kingdom."

Ling Xi slowly came to Bo Baoling's side, she took Bo Baoling's hand, and comforted: "Dedication to the princess, the matter of the princess of Pingnan, this palace has heard about it, you want to mourn, Aze is still very young, the king of Pingnan is in Pingcheng again, and the Pingnan palace still needs to be taken care of by the palace." ”

As soon as she heard Ling Xi talk about Huaimin, Bo Baoling's tears could no longer be suppressed, she cried: "It was originally a happy event, and I saw that a young lady would be added to the Pingnan Palace, but in the end, Huaimin still had the same life as her sister, and died of dystocia, and the child did not survive." ”

Ling Xi couldn't help but clench Bo Baoling's hand, she could feel Bo Baoling's grief at this moment, but the grief was not limited to the palace. For the Jiang family, Huaimin's death not only made Jiang Runze lose his mother at a young age, but also made the relationship between the Jiang family and Xian Wangfu indifferent.
