Qin Zhaoyi smiled softly, "Jue'er, if you want to learn, you can wait for Jiaojiao to return to the palace and help the concubine to learn again." Over here, you're still sitting

Drinking tea on the coffee table. I'll read the book for a while

Bai Jiaojiao heard this and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Lu Jue said respectfully: "Yes, mother concubine." ”

Bai Jiaojiao helped Qin Zhaoyi to leave the hall and went to the room where she was staying, so that she could massage Qin Zhaoyi and give Qin Zhaoyi a mask.

Lu Jue, who was standing at the coffee table, saw Bai Jiaojiao's back gradually disappearing, as if she had lost her soul, neither standing nor sitting. So I walked back and forth in the hall, and I don't know how many times I walked back and forth, when I accidentally hit the wooden door with my forehead, making a "bang" sound.

Lu Ying didn't care about the pain in his forehead, took a step back, and continued to circle around the hall

This made Su Xi, who had already come to the vicinity of the hall and squatting in a hidden corner to observe Lu Yu, tears gushed out uncontrollably.

clearly knows that His Royal Highness the Second Prince only has a delicate sister in his eyes and heart, and there is no her. That's why she didn't go straight into the hall, but squatted in this corner, watching him from afar.

always felt that as long as she could see his back, even if she saw that he was very close to the woman he liked, and had never looked at her, she would feel happy for him in her heart.

After all, Jiaojiao's sister doesn't refuse him, and it's a pleasure to do him.

But she was selfish in the end, she was hoping in her heart that he could pursue the delicate sister he loved, but at the same time she prayed in her heart, he could also find her hiding in the corner and watching him.

Su Xi stretched out her hands to cover her face, and her heart was about to drip blood.

She and His Royal Highness the Second Prince, as well as Miss, Aunt, and His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, can be regarded as growing up together since childhood. His Royal Highness the Ten Princes is several years younger than her, and she has always regarded His Royal Highness the Ten Princes as her own brother.

It's just that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes is cold, whether it is for her, or for the young lady, or for the uncle, he is somewhat guarded.

Over the years, several of them have clearly gotten along with each other. But they all knew that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes was deliberately keeping a distance from them.

Between them and His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, it was like an invisible wall separating them. They wanted to take a step forward, get closer to the Ten Princes, and they couldn't climb over.

Presumably, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince deliberately kept a distance from them, and hoped that they would not get too close to him.

It's just that Jiaojiao's sister has a very strange idea, and she will say to her that His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince is sincere, very careful, and a very good person.

Su Xi listened to it at the time, but thought in her heart that her hearing might not be very good.

In these years, the good sons and daughters she has seen, except for the aunt who loves the young lady wholeheartedly, is the second prince Her Royal Highness who she loves.

Su Xi took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up silently, and returned to the room where Zhou Shiling was.

As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door weakly, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads.

Zhou Shiling has not been able to rest assured after Su Xi left the room. At this time, when I saw Su Xi crying into tears, I felt heartache.

"Sister." Zhou Shiling looked at Su Xi with pity in her eyes, but saw that Su Xi was still crying, and she didn't look at her. She tried to sit up, choked up, and said, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Su Xi enjoyed the silk handkerchief to wipe the tears, and while wiping the tears, he replied: "Yes, I'm useless, I don't dare to tell him, I have him in my heart." But if I go and tell him, or if I ask you to help me tell him, then I still regret it? ”

Zhou Shiling glanced at Su Xi, "You, you are always so dry and subtle, and he is not a god, can you guess your thoughts?" I reminded you a long time ago that you have to be like me to your brother-in-law, even if you don't explain it directly, you can hint at others, right? Alas, you always suffer when you shouldn't. ”

"I didn't suffer either, Jiaojiao's sister is our sister, and it's not someone else." Su Xi said confidently.

It is true that she is not someone else, but her affection for that person is not the affection between a man and a woman. Okay, don't cry, wait for the others to leave. ”

Zhou Shiling sat up and wanted to get out of bed.

But at this moment, Su Xi hurriedly ran to the bed, pressed Zhou Shiling's shoulder with one hand, and blamed: "Sister, Miss, who made you move, Fu." ”

"Then I'll let you come over, and you ignore it?" Zhou Shiling was also anxious and said angrily.

"Aren't people feeling uncomfortable? You don't want people to cry for a while. Su Xi looked at Zhou Shiling with aggrieved eyes, but she still felt sad, so she cried again

Finish.

"Oops, out of breath." Zhou Shiling was distressed and wiped her tears for Su Xi, and told Su Xi softly: "You are stupid, you clearly know that the two mothers and children are here with us, why are you crying?" The more you cry, the more weird it feels like you're weird. ”

Su Xi held back her tears and nodded, "Hmm." ”

"You are my good sister. There are guests at home, you can always go out and help me accompany the guests. Zhou Shiling leaned close to Su Xi's ear and asked softly: "Tell me, what did you see that made you uncomfortable when you went out for a while?" Tell me about it, and I'd like to help you come up with ideas. ”

Su Xi said truthfully: "...... His forehead was red and swollen, but he didn't realize it, just looked at the room where Jiaojiao's sister was, looking like he couldn't give up. ”

Zhou Shiling laughed, stretched out her hand and poked Su Xi's forehead, and said, "You, you're so stupid." Aren't you just worried, afraid that his forehead will be red and swollen, and it will hurt? This kind of thing, even if you see it, you can't ask about it, let alone mention it. But he's a man, what can he do if he touches it all of a sudden? Besides, I do have an errand for you......"

Su Xi looked stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

“…… I calmly analyzed it, and I felt that Xiang Shi and Bai Ximing were together, and they must have caught some handle from Bai Ximing. Otherwise, no matter how brazen and arrogant she was, she wouldn't dare to ask the Wan family to give her money. Go and see His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and whisper to him what I said. ”

A trace of cunning crossed Zhou Shiling's eyes, and said, "Sister Jiaojiao, you can not mention it to her for the time being." When we find some clues, we can tell her, and it's fine. ”

Su Xi was very understanding, and replied, "Don't worry, Miss, Su Xi knows how to do it." ”

Two hours later.

Bai Jiaojiao sat in a carriage, followed by the Naihua carriage that Qin Zhaoyi was sitting in, and went to the palace.

Entering the palace, Bai Jiaojiao carried the gift she brought to the Queen Mother and went to meet the Queen Mother. At the Queen Mother's place, no matter what the Queen Mother asked, she learned the original Bai Jiaojiao's style of doing things and answered cautiously.

The Queen Mother saw that Bai Jiaojiao had not changed much, and it was not like what some people in the palace had rumored, saying that Bai Jiaojiao seemed to have changed as if she was a different person, cruel and fierce.

You're not even healthy yet

Seeing such a Bai Jiaojiao, the Empress Dowager Bai was still happy.

"I'm not bitter, Queen Mother." Bai Jiaojiao pretended to be very well-behaved, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't mind what my aunt does to me." It's just that Daddy and his brother are out on the battlefield and earn some silver to support their family, which is not easy. Jiaojiao didn't want to see her aunt and them, and she didn't cherish Daddy's efforts. I took the silver taels given by my father, and I don't know where I spent it......"

When Empress Dowager Bai heard this, a cold light burst out of her eyes, and she said, "I have long advised your father that when your uncle was still young, he was an elder brother and helped a little, which is right." But your uncles have all married and had children, and he kept them in the house and raised them with a large family. I said, it's unacceptable for him to help your uncle and them like this, and sooner or later he will raise a few losers. ”

Bai Jiaojiao nodded.

In the affairs of the elders, she is a junior, and it is difficult to say anything.

The original Bai Jiaojiao, when she came to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, she would also hear the Queen Mother mention these things. Bai Jiaojiao just listened, occasionally nodding her head to indicate that she was listening.

But Bai Jiaojiao never said anything about herself.

Empress Dowager Bai saw that Bai Jiaojiao was still speechless, sighed helplessly, and said, "Alas, no, is this just the right thing to say to the palace?" ”

When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she was thinking about whether she should say a word or two words, when she saw a palace maid in a purple dress walk in.

The palace maid saluted the Empress Dowager Bai respectfully, and said, "Empress Dowager Qi, the emperor and Qin Zhaoyi took the second prince to the gate of Jinhua Palace......

When Empress Dowager Bai heard this, she ordered the palace maid, "Please let them in." ”

When Bai Jiaojiao heard that the emperor was coming, she was not timid, but she followed the example of the original Bai Jiaojiao, bowing her head and looking very restrained.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the back of Bai Jiaojiao's hand was gently patted. She raised her eyes and saw that the Empress Dowager Bai had a serious face, so she stood up, stood in front of the Empress Dowager Bai, and respectfully greeted the emperor and their arrival.

Empress Dowager Bai smiled slightly, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes.

After a while, the emperor and Qin Zhaoyi came to the hall with the second prince.

When Qin Zhaoyi greeted the Queen Mother, she gave two boxes of pills and said truthfully: "Queen Mother, these pills are all prepared by our Jiaojiao. You can open and smell it, there is a faint fragrance, just smell the fragrance, you can refresh yourself. ”

Empress Dowager Bai squinted and smiled, reached out and took the two boxes of pills, really opened them and smelled them, feeling refreshed. Gan is to give a box to the emperor, and said:

The emperor gladly accepted, not only thanked the Queen Mother, but also praised her brother's granddaughter Bai Jiaojiao in front of the Queen Mother. And also promised in front of the Empress Dowager Bai: "Queen Mother, the sons will send a few masters to send Jiaojiao to the northern Xinjiang, and protect Jiaojiao along the way." ”

Bai Jiaojiao was overjoyed.

With the emperor's words, she followed Qin Zhaoyi to the palace for such a trip, which can be regarded as not in vain.

Now the soldiers of the Dajing Dynasty are fighting back against the thieves of the Beiyuan and Beidi Kingdoms, and she followed the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass to the northern frontier, and she didn't know how many checkpoints she had to pass and how many difficulties she had to encounter.

But the emperor just said to the Empress Dowager that he would send a few masters to escort her, and it would be better to send a few than not to send any of them.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at the emperor with grateful eyes, and was about to salute and thank you, but the words of the Empress Dowager Bai came from her ears first: "Jiaojiao, don't you thank the emperor soon?" ”

Bai Jiaojiao immediately saluted the emperor, and said without humility or arrogance: "Thank you to the emperor, thank you to the Queen Mother, thank you Zhaoyi Niangniang, thank you to His Royal Highness the Second Prince......"

She didn't know whether to thank the Queen Mother or the emperor first?

Qin Zhaoyi and the second prince followed the emperor here, and it was Qin Zhaoyi who gave her the pills she gave her to the Empress Dowager Bai. The Empress Dowager Bai gave one of the boxes of pills to the emperor.

In this way, it is also time to thank Qin Zhaoyi.

As for His Royal Highness the Second Prince, he is the prince of the emperor and Qin Zhaoyi, and if he doesn't thank him, it will seem a little lost

The emperor only heard that Bai Jiaojiao was thanking him at the same time, and also thanked his imperial son Lu Yu, and his eyes showed a touch of relief, and said, "Jiaojiao is exempt." ”

Qin Zhaoyi stepped forward, took Bai Jiaojiao's hand, and asked her to sit opposite the Empress Dowager Bai to talk.
