In Chonghua Palace, Meng Qingting and Concubine Jing were talking affectionately, looking like a mother and daughter, and Ah Huai, who was standing next to him, was also smiling.

After brewing enough feelings, Concubine Jing turned her head into the conversation, turned to the topic, held Meng Qingting's soft and snow-white hand, and said gently, "This palace heard that the last time the sixth prince of Jinyang Wangfu died with pepper, it was you who went to the National Teacher's Mansion to ask the prince to settle it?" ”

Meng Qingting is also a smart person, as soon as she heard Concubine Jing's words, she understood what she meant, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Back to Niangniang's words, the prince owed me a favor before, and the matter of the sixth prince just returned this favor last time." ”

"So that's the case," Concubine Jing nodded, paused, took off the gold armor in her hand, and said, "However, this palace thinks privately, that is, if you return the favor, the prince should also have a little bit of face for you, and in his place, what you say is always more effective than what this palace says." ”

"Qing Ting is stupid, I don't know what Niang Niang means...... Meng Qingting pretended not to understand.

Concubine Jing looked at her deeply, "You are the quasi-daughter-in-law of this palace, this palace has always felt that you are the smartest, and only you can be worthy of the fourth child of this palace." ”

This sentence is extremely gentle and pleasing to the ear at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it is not a beating.

Meng Qingting lowered his eyebrows, pondered for a long time, and finally chose to compromise and said, "Niangniang's meaning, Qing Ting understands, Qing Ting will go to the National Teacher's Mansion when he turns around, ask the prince for help, and persuade the crown princess to cure the legs of the four princes." ”

When Concubine Jing heard this, the smile in her eyes deepened a little, she looked at her with waves, and praised her without hesitation, "Ze'er can hire you as a wife, it is really his blessing." ”

Meng Qingting smiled and said nothing.

She kind of understood that the nice things that Concubine Jing told her at the beginning were all playing the family card, and what she wanted was to let her come forward to ask Xiao Xun.

In this way, she doesn't have to owe the favor of the National Teacher's Mansion, Xiao Ze's legs can be good, and secondly, she came forward to ask Xiao Xun, if she doesn't succeed, it's okay, once she succeeds, it will be a stab in the heart of the crown princess Lu Nianjin......

In the main hall of Chonghua Palace, the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled on their faces, but they had their own plans in their hearts.

After about two quarters of an hour, Concubine Jing suddenly raised her hand, covered her mouth, and yawned gracefully. ”

Concubine Jing smiled embarrassedly, "When you are old, you are always easy to sleepy, but you are not in better spirits than you young people." As she spoke, she glanced at Aunt Ahuai again and said, "Let Wang Nushi help me go back, and you will send the Qing court out on my behalf!" ”

"Yes, sis!" Aunt Ah Huai agreed, then looked at Meng Qingting, stepped forward with one hand, and made an inviting pose, "Miss, please." ”

Meng Qingting nodded, and before leaving, he made another big gift to Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing watched her leave with a smile on her face, and the smile on her face was not put away until she watched her walk out of the main hall.

On the other side, after Meng Qingting left the palace, he went straight to the National Teacher's Mansion.

In the study room of the National Teacher's Mansion, Xiao Xun listened to Meng Qingting's report asking to see him, he twisted his heart and refused mercilessly, "No, let her go back." ”

After listening to the master's words, he said with some embarrassment, "Prince, Miss Meng seems to have made up her mind to see you this time, and she said that if you refuse to see her, she will kneel and die outside." ”

"Then let her kneel!" Xiao Xun said coldly, his face was as cold as ice.

"Yes, Prince!" He said something tremblingly, turned around and was about to retreat, when Xiao Xun stopped him again, "Slow!" ”

"I wonder what else the prince commands?" The man arched his hand, looked at the dark face behind the desk suspiciously, and thought, could it be that the master has changed his mind?

But the next moment, Xiao Xun looked at him and added, "Let her kneel away, don't block the people coming and going through the side door!" ”

“…… Yes, Prince! He froze for a moment before agreeing. With that, he turned and walked out.

Laichen stood beside him, watching this scene from beginning to end, muttering for a while, he looked at the master with a cold complexion, and reminded, "Prince, since you have made up your mind to stay away from Miss Meng, should you take back the dead soldiers beside her?" ”

Xiao Xun heard what Laichen said, but he hesitated, and after muttering for a long time, he was still ruthless, closed his eyes and said, "This palace wants to ensure her longevity." ”

Laichen sighed, didn't say anything more, but thought in his heart, alas, sooner or later, this master of his family will suffer a big loss from this Miss Meng!

Luo Shenyuan, Lu Nianjin also heard about Meng Qingting kneeling down to see Xiao Xun, her sewing of her bedclothes was slightly paused, and the tip of the thin needle poked into her index finger.

The pain hit sharply, she groaned softly, Yun Jiang hurriedly ran over, and said distressedly, "The girl has pierced her hand again?" ”

"It's okay," Lu Nianjin put his bleeding fingers in his mouth and sipped it, "You go and get busy with yours!" ”

"Girl, what's the matter," Yun Jiang didn't leave, she looked at the snow-white cloth in her master's hand and said, "These things can be handed over to the embroidery lady in the house, why do you have to do it yourself, you count, how many times have you pierced yourself in the past few days!" ”

"Speaking of which, you're also weird," Lu Nianjin heard her say this, raised his head and glanced at her, and said angrily, "I didn't care about the prince before, you disliked me and wouldn't like my husband, but now I try to please my husband, and you think I hurt myself, you say, what do you want me to do, you can be satisfied!" ”

In the end, she feigned anger and threw her bedgown into the basket on the low table.

Yun Jiang was also embarrassed when she heard her master complain like this, and at the end, she blushed and said, "Girl, forgive me, it was all the slave's fault before, and in the future, you can do whatever you want, and the slave and maid don't say a word more, do you think it's feasible?" ”

"That's pretty much it!" Lu Nianjin snorted softly, and after the bleeding on her fingers and stomach stopped, she picked up the bedclothes in the basket and slowly sewed them up again.

Half an hour passed unconsciously, Ah Yuan came in with ginseng tea from outside, walked to Lu Nianjin's side, and said softly, "Girl, you have been sewing for almost an hour, drink a cup of ginseng tea and rest for a while." ”

Lu Nianjin is not good at female red, and she is very anxious when she sews, and now she heard Ah Yuan's reminder, she immediately put down the work in her hand, took the ginseng tea in her hand, and said "Thank you".

This is what she said subconsciously, but Ah Yuan on the side was terrified when she heard it, and said "Don't dare" repeatedly.

After Lu Nianjin reacted, she also knew that she was talking about a bald mouth, she glanced at her and said, "I don't have anything to do here, you go down first." ”

"Yes, Crown Princess." Ah Yuan took the order and retreated.

Lu Nianjin held the ginseng tea, drank it with or without a pair, and when the cup was about to bottom, Yun Jiang walked in from outside.

When Lu Nianjin saw her, she suddenly thought of Meng Qingting still kneeling outside, her eyes flashed, and after she walked to her side, she asked, "Is she still kneeling outside?" ”

Yun Jiang heard Lu Nianjin ask like this, the expression on his face was a little subtle, and he snorted for a while before he said, "No." ”

"Is the prince willing to see her?"

"Yes."

"......" Lu Nianjin got an affirmative answer, there was anger in her eyes, she looked at the snow-white bedding in the basket, gritted her teeth and snorted, and said, "Yun Jiang, you send this bedding to the study, and say that you will ask Miss Meng to sew it for you!" ”

"Girl!" When Yun Jiang heard this, he exclaimed, "You are like this...... Probably not. ”

"What's wrong, let you go, you will go!" Lu Nianjin glared at her angrily and reprimanded.

Yun Jiang is just a maidservant girl in the end, and she was forced to be like this by her master, and she had no choice but to pick up the basket and walk out.

In the study in the front yard, Xiao Xun was talking to Meng Qingting, who had just come to his senses.

Without saying a few words, the guard guarding the door walked in from the outside and bowed his hand, "Prince Qiqi, the Yunjiang girl next to the princess of Luoshenyuan asks to see you." ”

"Ginger?" Hearing this name, Xiao Xun was just a little late, then looked at the guard and said, "Let her in!" ”

"Yes, Prince!"

Not long after, Yun Jiang walked in from outside, holding a basket in her arms, and saluted Xiao Xun with a little embarrassment.

Xiao Xun frowned, put one hand behind his back, looked at the basket in her arms, and asked suspiciously, "What are you holding this for?" ”

Yun Jiang said, "Back to the prince, the slave maid came over on the order of the princess, and the princess heard that you invited Miss Meng into the study to talk, so she asked the slave to send her half of the bedding clothes she had made, saying that she asked Miss Meng to help do it." ”

When she said this, she didn't glance at Meng Qingting next to her from beginning to end, but Meng Qingting looked at the snow-white bedclothes in the basket, but she couldn't help blushing and lowered her head.

"Nonsense!" Xiao Xun listened to Yun Jiang's words, and scolded her with tears and laughter, "Your master is not sensible, you also follow her to mess around, Miss Meng is a guest, a guest is an outsider, the bedding of the palace, how can you let outsiders interfere!" Don't go back yet! ”

"Yes, Prince!" Yun Jiang said aggrievedly, and retreated outside with the basket.

As soon as she left, only Xiao Xun and Meng Qingting were left in the study.

Meng Qingting already had a faint tear in her eyes because of Xiao Xun's words just now, she looked at him aggrievedly with red eyes, and said sadly, "It turns out that in the eyes of Brother Wuxian, Qingting is already an outsider. ”

"Or else?" Xiao Xun pressed his eyebrows and looked at her helplessly, "Do you still want to be an insider in the palace?" ”

Meng Qingting's head hung lower, and he said in frustration, "Even if Qingting wants to do it, Brother Wuxian won't allow it, won't he?" ”

"If only you knew!" Xiao Xun put down his hand, looked at her resolutely, and said, "There are some words, this palace will tell you one last time, in this life, this palace only recognizes the crown princess as an insider, and it is impossible for someone next to her!" ”

"But what's so good about the crown princess, she's just a concubine, she has no talent, and her appearance is not stunning, why do you have to be her?" Meng Qingting was in a hurry, and finally asked what he hadn't figured out in his life.

Xiao Xun heard her ask about this, the indifference on his face slowly disappeared, and finally turned into a faint warmth, and said, "She's good, it's just her good, you won't understand it in your life." ”

“…… There is one more thing," Meng Qingting looked at the warm smile on his face, only to feel that her heart was like a knife, and she was furious, she supported the table with one hand, and almost used all her strength to open her mouth, and said viciously, "Even though Brother Wuxian treats the crown princess as a palm treasure, she shouldn't have known your true identity when she was with you, right?" In other words, in her bones, she is just a widow who can't stand loneliness, such a woman, do you want to be a brother of no envy? ”

"Yes!" Xiao Xun looked at her eyes, with dark fire in them, and said, "No matter what she looks like, this palace wants it." As for you, even if you think you are very good, but this palace just dismisses it, are you satisfied with such an answer? ”

Meng Qingting was enraged by him, only to feel a fishy sweetness surging up his throat, and the next moment, his body bowed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

After vomiting blood, her body was shrimp-shaped, bent more and more, and her face turned pale.

And opposite him, Xiao Xun's face also changed, he really didn't expect that a few words from him would make Meng Qingting so angry that he vomited blood.

"Miss Meng, are you okay?" His eyebrows furrowed fiercely, and he looked at her and asked.

When Meng Qingting heard this, he raised his head for a long time, looked at him with a sad face, and said in a misty voice, "I thought that the prince wanted my life......"

Xiao Xun sighed, "This palace will ask someone to hire a doctor for you." And when he had spoken, he was to call someone.

When she spoke, she was stopped by Meng Qingting, she took out a snow-white handkerchief from her arms, slowly wiped the blood on her mouth, and said weakly but stubbornly, "The prince doesn't have to ask for a doctor for me, I'm afraid that the princess will find out and make trouble with the prince again." ”

As she spoke, she stood up and staggered to walk out.

Xiao Xun watched her walk away step by step, and then when she was about to reach the door, her figure suddenly shook and fell softly to the ground.

"Qing Ting!" At the critical moment, he called her, then lifted his breath, used light skills, rushed to her side as fast as he could, and caught her before she fell to the ground.

"Brother Wuxian......" After Meng Qingting was caught, he opened his eyes gently, looked at him tiredly and emotionally, and said, "You are so nervous about me, does it prove that you still have me in your heart?" ”

Xiao Xun looked into her eyes and took a deep breath, "This palace will send you back." As he spoke, he raised his head to call someone.

Meng Qingting took the opportunity to wrap his neck, and at the same time, the door of the study was pushed open.

"The prince is so Yaxing!" Lu Nianjin looked at the unsightly picture on the floor of the study, and sneered coldly.

"Jin'er!" Xiao Xun looked at Lu Nianjin, who was standing in the backlight, he wanted to push Meng Qingting away, but Meng Qingting hugged him tighter, she looked panicked and kept shrinking into his arms.

Xiao Xun was worried about her body again, and she couldn't get out of it for a while.

Lu Nianjin at the door didn't leave, she just looked at the two people snuggled on the ground, and said, "The concubine came to the study today, and there was nothing else, it's just that Brother Xiao, the little prince of the Boye Marquis Mansion, made an appointment with the concubine to go boating on the East Lake, and the concubine came to talk to the prince." ”

"However, since the prince is very busy, then the concubine will not bother for the first time." After saying that, she turned around and walked outside, and thoughtfully helped the two people in the room close the door.

Outside, Yun Jiang saw her master come out, and asked cautiously, "Does the crown princess really want to go boating on East Lake with the little prince of the Marquis of Boye?" ”

"Why not?" Lu Nianjin said, and walked out quickly.

Outside, the carriage of the Marquis of Boye's Mansion was already waiting, and when he saw her come out, Huo Xiao immediately jumped down from the car and stepped forward, "It's really good that my sister is willing to agree to my invitation." ”

Hearing this, Lu Nianjin raised his hand and gently touched it in his black heart.

Huo Xiao was touched by her, smiled even brighter, and took her to the car, while saying, "I heard my aunt say that the lotus flowers in East Lake have bloomed just right these days, and in Xiao'er's heart, my sister's character is like a lotus flower that is not stained by mud, so I thought of inviting my sister to see the lotus." ”

"It turns out that in Brother Xiao'er's heart, my sister's character is so outstanding?"

"Exactly, in Xiao'er's heart, my sister is the best woman in the world." Huo Xiao said, and added in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't marry when he grew up.

As he spoke, the two got into the carriage.

The carriage of the Marquis of Boye Mansion was also built by skilled craftsmen in the palace, and there were many mechanisms in it, as soon as Huo Xiao got in the car, he introduced it to Lu Nianjin, Lu Nianjin listened, and unexpectedly remembered the tungsten iron carriage of the National Teacher's Mansion.

She frowned, forcefully drove out everything related to the National Teacher's Mansion, and then continued to talk to Huo Xiao.

Although Huo Xiao is young, but because Xiao Xun invited more than a dozen famous teachers for him, he knows a lot more than his peers, Lu Nianjin chatted with him all the way, and he didn't feel bored at all.

"That's right," when the car was about to arrive at East Lake, Huo Xiao suddenly took out a brocade box from his arms, handed it to her, and said, "Sister, this is a gift I prepared for my little nephew, sister, please take a look." ”

Lu Nianjin took the brocade box, opened it and saw that it was a piece of black jade on the water head, carved into the appearance of a unicorn, and the most rare thing was not the carving and water head of this jade, but this unicorn jade pendant held in her hand, there was a feeling of tentacle warmth, if she guessed correctly, this unicorn jade pendant should be carved with a piece of superb warm jade.

"This is too precious," she closed the lid of the brocade box and pushed it back to Huo Xiaodao, "Your little nephew can't accept it." ”

"I know my sister's concerns," Huo Xiao looked at Lu Nianjin with a pair of extremely transparent eyes, "You just think that I can't take such a valuable thing as a child, but I tell you that the raw material of this piece of warm jade was given to me by my grandmother, and when I said that I wanted to carve a jade pendant and give it to my little nephew, my eldest aunt also found me several tricks." ”

"Sister, you can accept it, this is not only my intention as an uncle, but also the intention of our whole family to thank my sister for saving her life."

Lu Nianjin looked at Huo Xiao, his words had already been said to this point, and it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so she had to take the brocade box containing the unicorn jade pendant under his eager gaze and put it away carefully.

After she took it, less than half an hour the carriage stopped.

Outside, the guards of the Marquis of Boye's Mansion respectfully announced, "Crown Princess Qiyu, Xiao Shizi, East Lake has arrived." ”

"Got it," Lu Nianjin said outside, and the next moment, she stood up and walked out with Huo Xiao.

Who knows, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw a familiar figure, and in an instant, some dirty memories poured into her mind, and she looked at the silhouette of the person in the stone pavilion, and the whole person was not good.

Huo Xiao noticed that something was wrong with his sister next to him, he tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Sister, why is your face so bad, but what's uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope." Lu Nianjin retracted his gaze, then turned half of his body, pointed in the opposite direction to where Shen Bao was, and said, "I see that the lotus flowers are blooming very well over there, let's go over there!" ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister," Huo Xiao said with an unnatural expression, and before leaving, he glanced in the direction Lu Nianjin had just looked.

On the other side, Shen Bao was drinking and chatting with his fox friends and dogs, Lu Nianjin thought she was running fast, and the other party didn't see her, but in fact, when she got out of the car, Shen Bao recognized her.

At that moment, his eyes lit up with the brightest star in the sky, and Qin Huai on the opposite side saw that his friend suddenly showed a surprised gaze, but he was confused, and asked suspiciously, "Second Brother Shen, what do you think, smiling so much?" ”

Shen Luo picked up the wine on the stone table and drank a glass, his bright peach blossom eyes were full of affection, he gently tapped the table with the handle of the jade fan, and asked his friend, "Do you remember, why was I transferred to the border last year?" ”

Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted again, he turned his head, looked at Lu Nianjin, who had already walked away, looked at the slender back, and asked, "Could it be that it was Ah Jin who got off the car just now?" ”

Shen Luo nodded, "Yes, it's her!" After a pause, he bent his eyebrows again and said, "I've been back for two days, and I'm thinking about how to meet her, but I didn't expect God to treat me so well, and send people directly under my nose." ”

"Second Brother Shen, what do you want?" Qin Huai frowned, looked at his second brother and said, "I didn't know that when the prince was still alive, you had thoughts about her and wanted to get her to be the outer room, I have no opinion, but now that the prince is not dead and has recovered her identity, then she is the rightful princess, if you still dare to fight her idea, you are not afraid that the prince will know about it and will not give up with you?" ”

When Shen Bao heard this, Luo Tuo smiled uninhibitedly, he raised his face and poured another glass of wine, and indulged, "Peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic, even if they die, I want to get her!" ”

"......" Qin Huai had nothing to say, he felt that his brother was really crazy.

However, Shen Luo looked at him the next moment, and said with burning eyes, "Today, I only ask you, will you help me or not?" ”

Qin Huai took a deep breath, "You say first, how do you want me to help you?" ”

"Simple," Shen Bao turned the glow-in-the-dark glass of wine in his hand and laughed, "You just need to help me lure that little ghost away, and I'll do the rest myself!" ”
