"Jingcong, you're awake! That's great! ”

Yan Zixi, who had been guarding Xiao Jingcong next to the bed, screamed excitedly when she saw him wake up.

"Xi'er, it's okay for your husband......" Xiao Jingcong said and was about to get up, but was stopped by Yan Zixi.

"Jingcong, you're crazy, lie down! Do you know how badly you were injured this time, and you still don't lie down honestly! ”

After Yan Zixi served Xiao Jingcong to lie down again, she asked with concern: "Jingcong, what happened?" Why did you get hurt so badly, did the second prince do it? ”

Xiao Jingcong shook his head slightly, "No, it's just a black-clothed killer, it's careless for the husband......"

"Hey, forget it, you better take care of your injuries first, I'll get you some medicine." Saying that, Yan Zixi hurriedly walked out and came to the back kitchen to decoction medicine for Xiao Jingcong.

……

After the maid Xiaomei hurriedly returned to the mansion, she learned that Yan Zixi was in the back kitchen, so she immediately ran over and said to Yan Zixi: "Princess and princess, the slave knows a big thing. ”

Yan Zixi put down the firewood in her hand, and said lightly: "Xiaomei, what happened, she looked so anxious, who wanted to frame this princess?" ”

So many things have happened recently, Yan Zixi has to be cautious, for fear that something will happen suddenly.

So when Xiaomei hurriedly broke in, Yan Zixi turned around and asked in surprise.

Xiaomei gasped for breath and explained, "I heard that the queen mother is secretly investigating your identity as the princess, I don't know what she wants to investigate?" ”

Yan Zixi saw Xiaomei's worried look, so she said with a melancholy face: "What are you talking about, the queen mother is investigating my identity?" Why? Why is the Queen investigating my identity? ”

Yan Zixi didn't understand, what kind of grudge did she have with the queen mother, the queen mother wanted to target herself like this.

Besides, I don't know what I have to investigate, it's clean, pure as a blank piece of paper, even if I investigate, I can't find anything.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi put down the herbs in her hand and replied calmly: "Forget it, let the queen mother investigate, this concubine has nothing to be afraid of!" The roots are not afraid of the wind shaking, the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, no matter how the queen mother tosses, this princess believes that the pure person is self-purifying, even if someone wants to pour dirty water on my head, Xiao Jingcong will definitely not sit idly by! ”

When Yan Zixi said this, she was full of momentum, and she seemed to have already made a bamboo in her chest.

After hearing Yan Zixi's words, Xiaomei nodded suddenly in realization, "What the princess said is very true, but the princess, after all, she is the queen's mother, if she really wants to target you, I am afraid that even if you are innocent, the princess, you will deliberately frame you......"

Why doesn't Yan Zixi know?

"Princess, you better be careful, the slave doesn't want anything to happen to you again, princess." Xiaomei said with a smile.

Yan Zixi smiled faintly, "I know, Xiaomei, it's really hard for you, this princess knows it." I'll take notice. ”

After a slight pause, Yan Zixi continued to ask, "By the way, Xiaomei, is there anything else?" ”

Xiaomei thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, princess, it will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager soon, you are now the princess of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and you should also say something this time." ”

"Mean? What does that mean? Do you want to give gifts? Yan Zixi asked in surprise. Knock knock

Since he married into the Zhenguo General's Mansion, he has been worried every day, and he has not had a stable life. Every day is either this or that, and it would be nice to be able to be idle and live for yourself once a day.

"Well, that's a real headache...... Alas, doesn't Mrs. Xiao care? Yan Zixi didn't care about these things in the first place, but now it was too embarrassing for her to let her think about these things.

When Xiaomei heard what Yan Zixi said, she also said seriously: "Princess, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" How many eunuchs' children and young ladies are looking forward to this opportunity, wanting to get close to the old queen mother, why doesn't the princess care at all? ”

"What do I have to care about?"

Yan Zixi shrugged her shoulders and replied with a completely indifferent expression: "This princess is now the princess of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, there is no need to look at the face of the Empress Dowager again, right?" What's more, the Empress Dowager is old and has long been far away from the center of power, and it doesn't make much sense to praise her now. ”

Yan Zixi's words are also true, now even the emperor's body is not as good as before, I don't know when she will die, let alone her, the queen mother.

Maybe one day he will burp and lie in a coffin!

When Xiaomei heard Yan Zixi's words, she still kindly reminded her on the side: "Princess, the slave maid just wants to remind you that if you don't perform well in the Empress Dowager this time, the slave maid is worried that someone will take advantage of the topic to play, and then the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

"Excuse the question?" Hearing Xiaomei's reminder, Yan Zixi suddenly sobered up, and shouted again and again, "Yes, Xiaomei, you are right, even if the Empress Dowager does not have much power in her hands now, but she is the Empress Dowager after all, and her identity and status are all there, if the princess is not well prepared, she will give some ulterior motives to take advantage of it, and when the time comes, she will wantonly smear the princess and the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and it will not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River." ”

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi glanced at Xiaomei, stretched out a thumbs up at her, and praised her mouth: "Xiaomei, it's good that you reminded me, otherwise this time the princess would really make a big mistake." ”

"The princess laughed, the slave maid just mentioned it slightly, the princess must know the stakes, but it has been blocked a lot recently, and I didn't think of it for a while." Xiaomei didn't ask for credit, and responded modestly. It can be seen that Xiaomei is really thinking about Yan Zixi, and it is not in vain that Yan Zixi has stood up for Xiaomei three times and twice, trying her best to protect her as a girl.

Xiaomei's eyes rolled, and then she asked, "Princess, do you have an idea?" ”

"Well, Xiaomei, do you know what gifts those concubines and princesses gave to the queen mother for her birthday in previous years, right?"

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is victorious in all battles, Yan Zixi has to figure out what birthday gifts others give, so that she can be fully prepared.

Xiaomei lowered her head and pondered for a moment, carefully recalled for a while, and then said slowly: "Oh, there is nothing, it is nothing more than some very common birthday gifts, such as Shou Ruyi, Life Ganoderma lucidum and the like......"

"That's ......"

Hearing Xiaomei's introduction, Yan Zixi nodded thoughtfully, slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and a hint of brightness flashed in her eyes, as if she already had some idea in her heart.

Xiaomei tilted her head and looked at Yan Zixi, and saw that she seemed to have an idea, so she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Princess, you are smiling so happily, have you already thought about what birthday gift you want to give the queen mother?" ”

Yan Zixi saw Xiaomei asking so seriously, and couldn't help but answer with a smile: "Xiaomei, in fact, this princess hasn't thought about it for the time being, but when it really arrives, she should figure out what to send." In fact, it's best not to say anything now, after all, if you say too much, you will lose, and you can't let others take advantage of the loophole. ”

When Xiaomei heard this, she couldn't help frowning, glanced at Yan Zixi, and asked in a low voice, "Princess, do you not believe Xiaomei, and are you worried that Xiaomei has leaked some rumors and let others know?" Xiaomei couldn't help but lead this to herself, and her face inevitably showed a trace of sadness. After all, she has been with Yan Zixi for so long, and she has not been able to fully gain her trust, so she feels more or less uncomfortable.

Yan Zixi saw that Xiaomei had misunderstood, so she hurriedly walked over, gently scraped the tip of Xiaomei's nose, grinned, revealing the neat row of bright teeth, and responded with a sneer.

"Xiaomei, what are you thinking about! How could this princess not believe you? It's just that if you don't say it, it doesn't mean that some people don't say it, so ah, this princess simply keeps it in her heart and doesn't say anything, so it's the best. After all, now that the princess is being monitored by others all the time, it is inevitable that there will be any leakage of news, if it is heard by people with ulterior motives, won't the princess want to make a bamboo basket for water? So, don't take it to heart, it's not that I don't believe you, you know? ”

Hearing that Yan Zixi came over to explain to herself, the haze on Xiaomei's face was finally swept away.

"Okay, Xiaomei, you go down first, the prince was just injured, and I still have to decoct medicine for him!"
