CHAPTER XII 2

Let's talk. She carefully took the medicine bottle in Xiao Yiqing's hand, put the food box aside, and rubbed the medicine against the railing.

After all, it was a girl, although it was injured on her hand, she was also reserved for fear that the man would see it when she took the medicine, so she turned her back to Xiao Yiqing.

Xiao Yiqing looked at the food box on the side, and saw that Xiao Ru's eyes couldn't reach it, so he rummaged in his sleeves and quietly leaned over.

Just as he was about to get closer, he heard an old voice behind him shouting: "Xiaoru, why hasn't the medicine of the princess been sent yet?" ”

Xiao Yiqing couldn't help but be frightened. He quickly stuffed the things he was holding back into his sleeves.

Xiao Ru turned around and saw that it was Uncle Qin and said, "Oh, the slave and maid will go over." ”

Uncle Qin saw that Xiao Yiqing was also here, so he asked, "Hey, Lord Xiao, aren't you eating wine in the front yard with the prince and the prince of Nanfeng?" How did you get here? ”

Xiao Yiqing also calmed down, turned around, and pretended to be calm and said: "Uncle Qin, the official felt a little drunk, so he came out for a walk, and happened to see that this little girl burned her hand when she was boiling medicine, so he gave her some plasters to apply. ”

Qin Bo looked at him with half-sneered eyes, and there was both belief and doubt in those eyes.

Xiao Yiqing couldn't help but be a little hairy in the face of this look. I thought to myself: Didn't he find out about his plan?

But when he looked at it again, Uncle Qin had already turned his eyes into a smile, and first said to Xiaoru: "The side princess is still waiting to take medicine, go quickly!" ”

Then he looked at him and said: "This leads to the backyard, which is where the ladies of the house live, if Lord Xiao wants to visit, the old slave can accompany the adults to the garden for a stroll." ”

"Oh, I was just hanging around, I didn't want to be here, it was the official who was rude. I've been out for a while, so I don't go to the garden. The official should go and see if the boy of Nanfeng is drunk! Xiao Yiqing prevaricated and turned to leave.

After walking a long way, when he looked back again, he saw that Qin Bo was still standing there, also looking at him from a distance. couldn't help but tremble in his heart, only to feel that although this person was just a housekeeper, he should not be underestimated.

Now, since Shangguan Beitang asked him to discuss with Uncle Qin about Huo Jiaban's entry into the mansion, he had to be very cautious. The old fox must not be allowed to see the slightest hint of horse's feet.

Early tomorrow morning, he has to talk to Huo Jinlin first, let him enter the house with peace of mind, and then ask him to wait for the opportunity.

Xiao Yiqing planned step by step in his heart to go outside the Beixuan Palace.

As soon as she left the house, she saw the princess walking down from a carriage, although she was pregnant and her body was plump, but in a flash, Xiao Yiqing's heart was still turbulent and excited.

met each other head-on, in Xiao Yiqing's opinion, their fate was unfinished, and they had a good heart.

So he stepped forward and saluted, "Side princess Niangniang." ”

Yuzhu looked up and saw that it was him, and asked, "How is Lord Xiao?" ”

Xiao Yiqing heard Yuzhu greeting him, thinking that she still had herself in her heart, and was immediately overjoyed, changed her frown, and replied with a happy face: "Thanks to Niangniang's blessing, everything is fine with the lower officials." ”

"Mother, this is?" He asked as he looked at the car behind Yuzhu again.

"Oh, on the first day of the new year, I went to the temple to pray for the blessing of the prince and the child in the womb. Have you finished discussing things with the prince? Yuzhu replied as usual.

"It's not a big deal, no, it's the prince's birthday in two days, so I invited an opera troupe to sing in the house, and I discussed it with the prince." Xiao Yiqing said.

When Yuzhu heard this, the ominous premonition in her heart suddenly hit her heart.

In any case, although he and the prince did not have a deep hatred because of her, it could be regarded as a gap between the two.

Now that Xiao Yiqing is so flattering to Shangguan Beitang, I'm afraid it's not that simple. She understands Xiao Yiqing, persistent, calm, and jealous.

As long as he has decided on something, it will not change. I'm afraid that he will hold a grudge against Shangguan Beitang because of his own affairs.

So, Yuzhu looked left and right and said to his entourage, "You all go down!" Let me have a few words with Master Xiao. ”

After everyone retreated, Yuzhu looked at Xiao Yiqing and said, "Lord Xiao can't help but be too concerned about the affairs of the Beixuan Palace." ”

Since Xiao Yiqing was established as a side concubine by the king of Beixuan, there have been slaves present every time she meets, and she has lost the opportunity to talk to her alone.

At this moment, Yuzhu took the initiative to avoid talking to him left and right, and he was ecstatic that Yuzhu wanted to talk to him about the old relationship, but he didn't want her to ask about the Beixuan Palace.

couldn't help but feel a little lost and sad, he said with some surprise: "You, just want to ask me this?" ”

"Yes." Yuzhu nodded and said.

"I am an official in the same dynasty as the King of Beixuan, and besides, he has the grace of knowing me, shouldn't I celebrate his birthday?" What Xiao Yiqing said is reasonable.

Yuzhu didn't argue with him, but said: "Since Lord Xiao is so affectionate and righteous, then I can't say anything, it's just that it was Yuzhu's own choice to marry into the palace that day, and I ask Lord Xiao to forgive me."

The prince is the purest and most sexual person, he treats people sincerely, and I hope that adults can also return their hearts, and Yuzhu only hopes that adults can find a good couple as soon as possible and be rich and noble. ”

After saying that, Yuzhu bowed slightly and said goodbye and entered the palace.

Xiao Yiqing looked at her departing back, and was full of jealousy in her heart: "You actually want to protect him so much, and as soon as you meet, you ask me if I am too attentive, is it because I am afraid that I will do something unfavorable to him?" ”

Besides, after Dugu Yanxiang pampered Concubine Rong, Shangguan Beitang was estranged from him from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't stay in the palace much after going to the court, trying not to enter the palace if he could.

This made Dugu Yanxiang really have a headache, and he had to do it that day to pamper Concubine Rong.

Moreover, if he really impulsively announced the identity of Shangguan Beitang to the world, then I am afraid that Beitang would really not be able to live.

Look at the ministers in the court that day, step by step, and argue with reason. He, the emperor, was almost forced into the palace, let alone Beitang.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother appeared in time, and she had the foresight to plan for her, otherwise he and Beitang would have been forced to death by the ministers that day. It seems that the Queen Mother is still wise, and Jiang is still old and spicy.

Although he himself is also a generation of emperors, he only won the throne after nine deaths, and he has long been afraid of life and death. But what he was afraid of was that Beitang would be hurt in the slightest.

He had to protect Beitang I well. Even if you stay away from her and can't stay with her for the rest of your life, you can't break her life experience in this life.

But what he didn't know was that it was his self-righteous protection that hurt Shangguan Beitang the most.

Now he can only regard Shangguan Beitang as a favored minister, a brother, but he can't only regard him as a lover.

Dugu Yanxiang also knew that this hurt Shangguan Beitang's heart, so he often thought about making amends to him materially.

Therefore, if there were any novelties in the palace, delicious and fun, he sent them to the Beixuan Palace.

But this Shangguan Beitang didn't appreciate it at all. No, Zheng Yi, the governor of Sanchuan, entered the palace to report on his work, and he was wearing clothes made of ice silk that he had given to Shangguan Beitang a few days ago.

How rare the ice silk is, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have presented two horses this year, one is graceful and luxurious, and he asked someone to send it to the Fukang Palace to the Queen Mother.

The other horse was so valuable that he was reluctant to use it himself, so he sent it to the Beixuan Palace.

Thinking that these dog days are extremely hot, Beitang can not be cooler and more comfortable to make two clothes.

But who would have thought that he would turn his head and give the things to others.

This is not once or twice, the green bamboo folding fan in Xiao Yiqing's hand a few days ago, the Zhu Dan gem on the Bai Ying crown? Which one was not given to the Beixuan Palace. But within two days, it all appeared on someone else.

When Dugu Yanxiang saw this, he was really angry. After Zheng Yi left, he patted the table and muttered: "How can this be reasonable, what a reason!" ”

Picked up the tea on the table, just took a sip, then spit it out again, slammed the tea bowl on the ground, and said angrily: "Don't you know how hot the tea is?" ”

When the servants saw the emperor's thunder and anger, they fell to their knees in fright.

Ning Chun'an stepped forward, carefully put away the fragments, and said, "The emperor is angry. ”

He has been waiting for the emperor for many years, so he naturally knows that the emperor will not be so angry because of a bowl of tea.

He handed the fragment to Natsuko and waved his hand to signal everyone to stand down.

Dugu Yanxiang looked at Ning Chun'an, gritted his teeth and said: "Look at him, look at him, he didn't take me to heart, I rewarded him with things, and in a blink of an eye, he gave them all to others." It's good for him to take my things and win people's hearts. ”

Ning Chunan carefully persuaded: "The emperor is angry, I want to come to the king of Beixuan for the sake of the emperor, some time ago, the ministers almost rebelled, and the servants are afraid when they think about it." ”

"According to the slave, although the king of Beixuan is now holding the things in the palace and giving them away, he is also under the banner of His Majesty, and he is also thinking about His Majesty."

Dugu Yanxiang smiled coldly: "Hmph, why do I need him to do this favor for me." He is angry, you go, summon him into the palace, I want to see what he has done, what is his explanation? ”

"Yes." Ning Chun'an responded and retreated.

Not long after, Shangguan Beitang entered the palace. Dugu Yanxiang saw that he was dressed in plain clothes, and he was even more angry.

He asked coldly, "What about the things I rewarded you a while ago, why didn't you wear them?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, it is the thing that the emperor gave to the minister, that is the minister's thing, and now the emperor asks, don't you want to take it back!" Shangguan Beitang smelled the nature of this matter, so he preemptively said.

"You," Dugu Yanxiang was even more angry, "I just asked you, you are more reasonable than me." Do you think I don't know, you gave away all those things? ”

"Since the emperor knows, why should he ask again." Shangguan Beitang said neither softly nor hard.

"Tell me about you, and you can choose what you don't like and give it to others, but you give it to others. You really don't care about me at all. Dugu Yanxiang was inadvertently a little sad in his heart.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is wronged, the emperor is the emperor of the world, and he is also the emperor of the micro-ministers, and the emperor is more important than the blue sky in the hearts of the micro-ministers. How dare the minister be disrespectful? Shangguan Beitang hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

"You have shown your loyalty well." Dugu Yanxiang sighed and said.
