Xiao Jingcong didn't have any leisure to eat fruit now, he touched Yan Zixi's head with a smile, and complained in his mouth, "Xi'er, look at the way you look now, how can you be in the mood to eat fruit for your husband?" The brothers are busy there under the scorching sun, so how can a husband enjoy himself here? ”

"But ......" Yan Zixi just wanted to persuade him, but thinking about what Xiao Jingcong said, it was not wrong, not to mention that he could be in this position today because he would always be on the front line. Thinking of this, Yan Zixi no longer advised, but nodded obediently, "Okay, Jingcong, then you go and get busy, I'll watch you here." ”

"You're watching me here? No, Xi'er, the sun is very strong here, you and Xiaomei should go back to the house to rest and escape the heat, right? Xiao Jingcong said with a concerned face.

"It's okay, Jingcong, if you can be here, of course I can, and so many brothers are too! You're right, aren't you? "Yan Zixi is very smart and knows how to mobilize the broadest masses of the people.

When the officers and soldiers who were repairing heard Yan Zixi's words, they also echoed there.

"Yes, yes, what the princess said is very true!"

"Hahahaha, they all say that our princess is as beautiful as a flower, and when I see her today, she is not only beautiful, but also so amiable, there is no shelf at all, no wonder our general will love her so much!"

……

Xiao Jingcong heard the discussion of those people under him, and his face couldn't help but turn white for a while and red for a while.

He raised his voice and said to the officers and soldiers and craftsmen over there: "Okay, okay, you have a lot of words, hurry up and get to work!" ”

Xiao Jingcong explained a few more words to Yan Zixi, and then walked over and was busy with those people.

Yan Zixi took Xiaomei to sit down on the bluestone in the shade of a tree, and watched Xiao Jingcong and them work there.

It may be a blessing to be able to see your husband working hard!

Yan Zixi's eyes when she looked at Xiao Jingcong were bent into a crescent moon, and her face was filled with a kind of happy joy.

……

It lasted until the evening, except for a few short breaks in the middle, Xiao Jingcong finally broke up with those officers and soldiers.

Xiao Jingcong rewarded those officers and soldiers, and then walked towards Yan Zixi with a smile.

"Xi'er, are you impatient?"

"It's okay, as long as I see you, I won't feel annoyed." Yan Zixi lowered her head shyly as she spoke.

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently took Yan Zixi into his arms, exhaling hot air in his ears, and murmured, "Xi'er, we're going home." ”

"Uh-huh!"

Yan Zixi nodded, and then tilted her head on Xiao Jingcong's shoulder, and the backs of the two were stretched long against the backdrop of the setting sun......

It was another sweet and unforgettable night......

……

The next day, Xiao Jingcong continued to go out to supervise the work, Yan Zixi was very bored to stay in the house alone, and when she was about to sneak over to find Xiao Jingcong again, she didn't want someone to come to the palace, saying that the queen had summoned Princess Xiao into the palace.

Xiaomei immediately frowned, "Princess, the queen mother suddenly passed you into the palace, is it ...... again?"

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided." Yan Zixi smiled faintly and glanced at Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, help me change my clothes." ”

"Princess, are you really going? Do you want the slave to inform Prince Xiao? Xiaomei is still a little uneasy.

"It's okay, after I saved the queen mother last time, she has already settled her old suspicions with me, so she shouldn't embarrass me."

"Okay......"

……

Yan Zixi rode into the palace in a carriage, and the queen was waiting for her in the imperial garden.

An old eunuch walked over and saluted Yan Zixi, "The old slave sees Princess Xiao, the queen is waiting for you in the pavilion." ”

"Got it, let's lead the way."

"Yes......"

Yan Zixi moved lightly, followed behind the old eunuch, and after a while, she came to the pavilion in the imperial garden.

Since the last assassin incident, the guards in the Imperial Garden have been strengthened a lot, and as soon as Yan Zixi looked up, he saw that there were all armed Imperial Forest Army guards around him, looking murderous, presumably the assassin or something must have nothing to hide.

In the pavilion, the queen was admiring the flowers and feeding the fish in the pavilion, as if the recent events had not affected his mood. Variety Literature

The old eunuch walked over, and said respectfully in his mouth: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Princess Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion has brought it!" ”

When the queen heard the old eunuch's message, she turned around, waved her hand, and motioned for the old eunuch to stand back.

At the same time, Yan Zixi also stepped forward and bowed to the queen's mother, and called out in her mouth: "Concubine Yan Zixi see the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old!" ”

"Okay, it's not an outsider, let's be even." The queen mother glanced at Yan Zixi coldly, and said lightly.

"Xie Niangniang......"

After Yan Zixi got up, she kept her head down, not daring to raise her head and look at the queen.

There have been so many unpleasant things that happened before, if it weren't for Xiao Jingcong's efforts to protect her, I am afraid that she would have died in the prison a long time ago, and now I think back on it with some palpitations.

Seeing this, the queen couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, and asked with a smile: "Xi'er, you seem to be very afraid of this palace?" ”

"How can there be ......" Yan Zixi smiled embarrassedly, she really couldn't figure out, what did the queen mother suddenly bring herself for, did she want to ......

Just when Yan Zixi was secretly thinking in her heart, the queen mother directly threw a box of rouge on the table, and said to Yan Zixi meaningfully, "Xi'er, this is the best rouge from the Western Regions, which the palace specially asked for from the emperor, and I will reward you!" ”

When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately panicked, "Queen Mother, such a precious thing, how can Xi'er be embarrassed to ask for it!" If you can't help it, please take it back from the queen. ”

Giving herself such a precious thing for no reason, Yan Zixi always felt that the queen mother had other intentions.

"It's okay, this is the reward of this palace, you can take it. If you don't accept it, won't you be a good intention to help the palace? The queen mother stared at Yan Zixi with a smile, and Yan Zixi was a little hairy.

Yan Zixi hesitated for a moment, and said in a slurred voice: "Queen Mother, the so-called merit is not punished, Xi'er really deserves it......"

"Last time, this palace wronged you, and you were imprisoned and suffered a lot, so it should be regarded as compensation for you by this palace." The queen rolled her eyes and found a reason that sounded good.

At this time, Yan Zixi couldn't refute it.

After thinking for a while, Yan Zixi finally nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, then Xi'er might as well be respectful." ”

After speaking, Yan Zixi accepted the box of rouge, and thanked the queen mother again.

When the queen mother saw Yan Zixi accept the box of rouge, a smile appeared on her face again, "Well, that's right!" Xi'er, there were a lot of misunderstandings between this palace and you before, the last time the assassin of the Imperial Garden assassinated, if you hadn't rescued him in time, this palace would have died there a long time ago, Xi'er, shouldn't be angry with this palace, right? ”

"Queen Mother, how could it be? How could Xi'er be angry with you? You are the lord of the six palaces, and your life is much more valuable than Xi'er's life. Yan Zixi said in fear when she heard this.

Hearing Yan Zixi say this, the smile on the queen's face became more and more intense, as if she had thought of something, and continued to say to Yan Zixi: "Xi'er, you can't say that. Everyone's life is precious, and you are no exception, if you are okay in the future, go into the palace to talk to the palace more. ”

"Huh?!"

The more Yan Zixi listened, the more confused she became, what did this queen mother want to do, how did she feel that her behavior was very strange today, did she really want to reconcile with herself?

Thinking about it in her heart, Yan Zixi didn't dare to slack off in her mouth, and responded respectfully, "Yes, Queen Mother, as long as Queen Mother summons her, Xi'er will definitely come in time to share her worries and sorrows for Queen Mother!" ”

"Good! A good one to share worries and sorrows for this palace! There was a hint of joy between the queen's eyebrows, and she pondered for a moment, and she continued: "Xi'er, there is a sorrow here in this palace, I wonder if Xi'er can solve it for this palace?" ”

"Oh, that's the case?!" Yan Zixi looked surprised, and asked strangely: "The queen mother may wish to say, what Xi'er can do must be defined." ”

"Good!"

The queen mother nodded when she heard this, with a thoughtful look, and then said to Yan Zixi.

"Xi'er, do you know what this kid Jingcong has been busy with lately, and I haven't seen him enter the palace for a few days."

The queen seems to care about Xiao Jingcong very much, and this care has surpassed her relationship as an aunt.

Although Yan Zixi didn't know what the queen mother meant when she suddenly asked about Xiao Jingcong, he still replied truthfully: "Queen Qi, Jingcong has been busy with the post-disaster reconstruction of the flood recently. ”

"Really? That must be hard, right? The queen seemed to be talking to Yan Zixi, and seemed to be talking to herself.

"Yes, but to see those people rebuilding their homes, Jing Cong didn't work hard in vain." Yan Zixi spoke for Xiao Jingcong, neither asking for credit nor denying it.

In the midst of a deep groan, the queen mother finally said her purpose, "Xi'er, do you think this palace should find another concubine for Jingcong's child?" No matter how you say it, he is also the prince of the general's mansion, you can't take care of it alone after all, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to have a sister to help you share it? ”

Rumble!!!!

As soon as the queen mother said this, it exploded in Yan Zixi's heart like a bombshell.

It's coming, it's coming, it's finally here!

Is this what the Queen Mother invited me to?
