"Aunt knows that you are a good boy," the queen raised her hand, rubbed the tears on her niece's face, and said distressedly, "You never thought of competing with the crown princess for anything, but she can't tolerate you, and she would rather watch you marry into that wild land than say a word for you." ”

"This palace should not have promised the emperor to give her to your cousin in marriage, if there was no her, you would be your cousin's crown princess, how could the disaster of harmony fall on you today!"

"Aunt......" Jiang Rongyue cried even more when she heard the queen say this, she buried her head in the queen's knees, and the tears gushing out like spring water seeped straight into the queen's knees, and the queen's heart was stinging again.

I don't know how long it has been, Aunt Song Ying walked in from outside, and when she arrived in front of the queen, she asked in a low voice, "Niangniang, can you order a lamp?" ”

"Don't!" The queen and Jiang Rongyue said at the same time.

Aunt Song Ying had no choice but to stand aside.

After a while, the queen wiped away all the tears on the faces of the two, and then looked at Aunt Song Ying and said, "Song Ying, now go and light the lamp!" ”

"Yes, Niangniang," Aunt Song Ying agreed, and went to light the lamp.

When the lights were on, she looked towards the queen, and saw that her master's eyes were only a little red, not red and swollen, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You help Rong Rong to go to the side hall to rest first!" When the queen saw Aunt Song Ying looking at herself, she nodded at her imperceptibly and ordered.

Aunt Song Ying took the order, helped Jiang Rongyue up from the ground, and helped her to the side hall......

By the time she returned, it had been two quarters of an hour later.

The queen could no longer see any traces of crying on her face, glanced at her lightly, and asked, "How is it?" Did you fall asleep? ”

Aunt Song Ying nodded, "The slave fed her two tranquilizing pills, and she is already asleep." ”

"That's good," the queen breathed a sigh of relief, a little tired from her eyebrows.

Seeing this, Aunt Song Ying spontaneously stepped forward and helped her master press her temples.

After pressing for a while, seeing that the queen's face softened, she spoke, "Niangniang, Sai Weng knows whether it is a blessing or not, think about it differently, and being close to each other is not necessarily all bad......"

"What do you mean?" The queen frowned tightly with confusion, waved her hand, and motioned for her to stop.

Aunt Song Ying put down her hand, walked around in front of the queen and said, "If the county lord is willing to go to make peace, the emperor will naturally give the Jiang family a grace for the sake of the county lord's dignity......" Her words were only half said, but the queen understood.

After a long time, she asked rhetorically, "You mean, exchange the happiness of the second half of your life for the future of the Jiang family?" ”

Aunt Song Ying listened to the queen's rhetorical question, she didn't nod or deny it, she just looked at the queen with watery eyes.

"This matter, you let the palace think about it again......" After being sad, the queen said with some reservations.

Aunt Song Ying didn't say anything more, but said, "Slaves and maids wait for the mother to rest, tonight, the emperor should not come." ”

The queen sighed and stretched out a hand towards Aunt Song Ying......

Zhanghua Palace, seeing that the banquet has come to an end.

Lu Nianjin drank a lot of wine, and at this time, her stomach was a little uncomfortable, she whispered hello to Xiao Xun, and then retreated outside the hall with Yun Jiang.

"The crown princess is going this way," Yun Jiang came out of the palace, and had accompanied the queen to several banquets before, so she didn't know much about Zhanghua Palace, and when she left the main hall, she led Lu Nianjin to the side hall where she changed clothes and washed.

Soon, the two of them walked to the side hall.

"You wait here, I'll just go in by myself," Lu Nianjin stopped and explained to her.

Yun Jiang answered yes and helped her push open the door of the side hall.

Lu Nianjin entered the side hall alone, and went straight to the Gongfang by the light......

In the main hall of Zhanghua Palace, Lu Guifei watched Lu Nianjin lead people away, and she immediately glanced at the palace people in Yilan Palace not far away.

The palace people understood, went down to make arrangements, and when the little eunuch poured wine for Mo Mingren, it accidentally spilled on his clothes......

"The slave confesses his guilt and begs the prince to spare his life!" The little eunuch knelt at Mo Mingren's feet in panic and begged for mercy loudly.

Mo Mingren didn't care about this, he waved his hand casually, and said in a lame official voice, "It's just a small matter, Xiao Wang won't take it to heart, you step down!" ”

The little eunuch thanked him and retreated tremblingly, at this time, Lu Guifei interjected with a smile, "Prince Mingren is a distinguished guest of the Yun Dynasty after all, how can he drink and feast in wet clothes, Qingyao, you take the prince to the side hall to change his clothes." ”

"......," Qing Yao looked at the emperor.

The emperor also felt that what Lu Guifei said made some sense, so he nodded, "Go ahead, I will entertain the prince." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qing Yao agreed, then walked in front of Mo Mingren, helped him up, and carried him to the side hall.

If you want to talk about Mo Mingren, he is usually not interested, he is only a good woman, and now he is being supported by the beautiful Qingyao, half of his body is about to be crispy, he staggered to the door of the side hall with her, and happened to meet Yun Jiang who helped Lu Nianjin guard the door.

Qingyao didn't know Yun Jiang, but Yun Jiang knew Qing Yao.

"The slave has seen Prince Akihito." She bowed, Prince Akihito did not speak, Qingyao took a step ahead and said, "The prince has some wine stains on his body, and the emperor ordered the slave maid to wait for the prince to come to the side hall to change clothes, can my sister make it convenient?" ”

Yun Jiang raised his eyebrows, "How do I remember, the side hall here is where the ladies change their clothes, and the side hall on the east side is where you should take the prince to?" ”

Qing Yao's eyes flashed, and she said, "It's the slave who took the wrong way, don't blame my sister!" As he spoke, he took Mo Mingren and walked to the other side.

As soon as the two of them left on the front foot, Lu Nianjin came out on the back foot, she looked at Yun Jiang with a suspicious look and said, "I heard a voice outside just now, what's going on?" ”

Yun Jiang told the palace maid about bringing the prince to change clothes.

After hearing this, Lu Nianjin raised his eyebrows, and just as he felt that something was wrong, a woman's scream suddenly came out from the dormitory on the other side.

"Girl!" Yun Jiang subconsciously looked at Lu Nianjin and asked, "Shall we go over and have a look?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Lu Nianjin shook his head, "I'm a little overwhelmed, and the left and right banquets are almost over, so you can accompany me to the carriage of the National Teacher's Mansion to rest for a while!" ”

"Yes, girl!" Yun Jiang agreed, and accompanied Lu Nianjin towards the outside of the palace.

Naturally, the palace people reported the situation here to Xiao Xun, and after Xiao Xun heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief...... After that, when he saw the prince of the Japanese and Qing Yao rolling together in the side hall, he didn't have any expression.

But the emperor is angry, such a person, still vainly trying to marry his pearl in the palm of his hand? Dream!

He glanced coldly at Mo Mingren, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a dragon on his face, "Qingyao's matter, should the prince give me an explanation?" ”

Mo Mingren rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and said crappily, "If you go back to the emperor, this matter is Xiao Wang's fault, Xiao Wang is willing to be responsible and marry this girl as a side room," he said, he turned his head sideways and glanced at Qing Yao, who had just broken his body, distressedly.

Qingyao was innocent, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill Mo Mingren, but in order to survive, he had to make a look of admiring the prince and being as deep as the sea.

Mo Mingren looked at it, and only felt that his heart was greatly satisfied.

The others felt a burst of spicy eyes, and the emperor coughed helplessly, and said, "Since you are happy with each other, I will fulfill you and allow Qingyao to be your side room." ”

When Mo Mingren heard this, he hurriedly pulled Qing Yao to thank him.

The emperor waved his hand irritably, so that everyone should have dispersed, but at this moment, Concubine Ning, who was standing in the corner, suddenly vomited violently.

Her reaction was too eye-catching in the side hall.

The emperor also noticed it, he frowned, looked at Concubine Ning unhappily, and was about to scold a few words, at this time, the green Wu beside Concubine Ning knelt down first, and said, "The emperor forgives the sin, Niangniang, she is not intentionally abrupt, but she has been pregnant for a month." ”

"Really?" As soon as he heard this, ecstasy spread from the emperor's heart, he couldn't take care of Mo Mingren and Qingyao anymore, and walked to Concubine Ning's side in three steps and two steps, holding her hand, holding her waist, and asking, "Is what Lu Wu said true?" ”

Concubine Ning nodded shyly, paused, and said softly, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, call a imperial doctor to take a look." ”

"How could I not believe in Concubine Ai!" The emperor hugged Concubine Ning tighter and tighter, and looked at her with doting eyes.

When the courtiers in the side hall saw it, they knelt on the ground one after another, congratulating the emperor on getting another dragon son.

The emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction and asked the ministers to step back, while he escorted Concubine Ning to Qixiang Palace.

Xiao Xun has no feelings about the concubine's pregnancy, and at this moment, he is only worried about the queen and Lu Nianjin.

However, it was already late at night, and it was inconvenient for him to go to Kunning Palace, so he had to lead people to the outside of the palace.

When he arrived outside the palace as fast as he could, Lu Nianjin had already been waiting in the carriage for half an hour.

"Prince," she called softly as she saw him get into the carriage, "the feast has finally dispersed?" ”

Xiao Xun nodded.

Lu Nianjin paused for a moment and asked again, "Did anything happen at the banquet?" ”

Xiao Xun pondered for a moment and told Qing Yao and Concubine Ning about their pregnancy.

After Lu Nianjin listened, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Concubine Ning is really blessed." ”

Xiao Xun shook her hand and said meaningfully, "It's a blessing to be born." ”

"Yes," Lu Nianjin nodded.

Xiao Xun pondered for a moment, smiled and asked again, "When, will you add another child to this palace?" ”

Lu Nianjin blushed, withdrew his hand, and said unhappily, "Why did the prince talk about this again?" ”

"What, don't want to?" Xiao Xun saw that she was displeased, and asked with some disappointment.

Lu Nianjin sighed, looked into his eyes and said, "Ji'er is still young, I want to wait for him to grow up." ”

“…… That's fine! Xiao Xun nodded.

In fact, the reason why he mentioned having another child just now was not simply to have another child, but to prevent the emperor from passing Concubine Ning into the palace again and again to protect Concubine Ning's fetus after she became pregnant.

But it's okay if she doesn't want to, he doesn't have children, and he can still protect her.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the National Teacher's Mansion.

Xiao Xun habitually stretched out a hand towards Lu Nianjin, Lu Nianjin held his wrist, and the two got out of the carriage together.

After arriving at Luoshen Garden, Xiao Xun was about to propose to leave, but Lu Nianjin took the first step and said, "I have already made the bedding for the prince, do you want to try it?" ”

When Xiao Xun heard that this was the case, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay! ”

After the words fell, the two walked towards the main room together.

After arriving at the dormitory, Lu Nianjin asked Ah Yuan to bring the basket where the bed clothes were placed.

Ah Yuan moved the things over very slowly.

Lu Nianjin shook off his bedclothes and walked towards Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun saw her walking towards him, and thought that she was going to help him change his clothes, so he naturally opened his arms to her.

Lu Nianjin: "...... The prince is only afraid that he has misunderstood, and the court clothes on your body, the concubine body really doesn't know how to untie it. ”

Xiao Xun had a touch of embarrassment in his eyes, but according to his temperament, since his arm was open, he would definitely not take it back, his deep gaze grabbed her tightly, and his voice was seductive, "It's okay, this palace will teach you." ”

Lu Nianjin pursed his lips, so he had no choice but to step forward as he said, and under his guidance, he took off the complicated apricot yellow court clothes on his body.

Then he loosened his bedgown and changed into a robe made of her.

Belch......

Except for the hem of the robe mopping the floor, the sleeves are long and short, and the buckles can't be buttoned, the others are all very good, especially the texture of the fabric, the level of dipping, and the dragon pattern on it.

"The crown princess is really not good at being a woman!" Xiao Xun glanced at her and silently took off the bedclothes on his body.

Lu Nianjin looked at the snow-white fabric that was thrown into the basket, and muttered quietly, "I said I wouldn't do it, the prince had to let me do it!" ”

"Oh? The palace also said that there is a lot of material in the treasury, so let you practice dozens of times, do you also listen to the palace? ”

Lu Nianjin: "......"

Dream! Of course she wouldn't listen.

"Take it to the embroidery room and let the embroidery girl change it!" After a while, he said to her very tolerantly, "There is the size of the main palace in the embroidery room. ”

"Oh!" Lu Nianjin answered, and after a while, she looked at his bare chest, and twisted her eyebrows slightly, "There doesn't seem to be the prince's clothes in Luoshen Garden, and the concubine is now asking people to go to the front yard to get a set?" ”

"No," Xiao Xun said.

After the words fell, he took out the obviously ill-fitting bedding clothes from the basket again, and said, "This palace will use this to make up for one night tonight, and someone will send the clothes over tomorrow morning." ”

When Lu Nianjin heard that he meant to stay overnight, although he was helpless, he still nodded.

But to her surprise, he didn't touch her that night, but just hugged her with the quilt into his arms.

At first, she didn't feel anything, but in the second half of the night, she couldn't sleep, so she couldn't help but lie on his chest and asked in a low voice, "Prince, has your body not recovered yet?" ”

Xiao Xun was caught off guard and was shocked.

Was he suspicious of her?

Or did she miss him?

couldn't wait for Xiao Xun's answer for a long time, Lu Nianjin thought she had guessed right, she hesitated, whether to help him take a pulse and give him a good look, but the next moment, Xiao Xun turned over and covered her directly, looking at her with burning breath and said, "Are you suspicious of this palace?" ”

Lu Nianjin listened to his imposing rhetorical question, where did she still not understand that she had misunderstood, she bit her lower lip hard, and said with a dry smile, "The prince is laughing, how dare I doubt the prince!" ”

She softened, and Xiao Xun unloaded his strength and lay down on her side again.

"This palace is to see that you have been a vegetarian recently, and your clothes are also plain...... Thinking that you may have to keep filial piety for your birth mother. He whispered in her ear a long time later.

When Lu Nianjin heard this reason, the whole person was stunned, she really didn't expect that Xiao Xun would think of this for her, and for a while, her heart was sour and rising.

"Prince, why are you so good to me?" After a moment, she suppressed her voice, stared at him and asked seriously, which was also the question she had always wanted to ask.

Xiao Xun listened, but laughed softly, "What do you say, fool, what is a man doing to keep a woman in his heart and defend her in every possible way?" ”

“…… You're a fool! Lu Nianjin held back for a while, and replied angrily, "Your whole family is a fool." ”

Xiao Xun: "......" So the point in his sentence just now is this?

"Settle down!" He took a deep breath, no longer interested in confessing, and took her into his arms fiercely.

Lu Nianjin's face was tightly pressed against his chest, and she whined for a long time, but she didn't make a complete word.

Later, I don't know why, I fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up the next morning, Xiao Xun was gone.

She asked Yun Jiang, and Yun Jiang only said that the prince had entered the palace early in the morning.

Hearing the word "entering the palace", Lu Nianjin unconsciously remembered what happened at the banquet last night, Xiao Xun should give the queen an explanation for not giving the queen face like that.

On the other hand, Xiao Xun also thought the same, early in the morning, after entering the palace, he knelt in the courtyard of Kunning Palace.

In the main hall of Kunning Palace, the queen listened to Yao Huang's report, but her face was not moved, she only said, "Since the prince is willing to kneel, let him kneel!" ”

"Yes, sis!" Yao Huang agreed, got up and stood beside him.

And the queen, although she said that she didn't care about Xiao Xun, her eyes kept looking out quietly.

In the first hour, she could still harden her heart, thinking that such an unfilial son should be punished severely, but when the sun cracked in the afternoon, the expression on her face became subtle.

Aunt Song Ying has been with the queen for so many years, how can she not understand the queen's thoughts, she sighed softly, stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, where is there an overnight feud between this mother and son, the prince was also bewitched by the princess, so he hurt your face, and now since he is willing to come to ask for guilt, he is wrong...... Besides, there are still several kinds of poisons in the prince's body, otherwise, let him get up! ”

The queen was originally waiting for a step down, but now when she heard Aunt Song Ying say this, she was about to push the boat down the river and ask Yao Huang to invite people in, but before she could speak, another soft voice came from behind the screen, "Auntie, what Aunt Song Ying said is, you just let your cousin in!" ”

When the words fell, Jiang Rongyue's thin figure walked out from behind the screen, and after she stopped in front of the queen, she saluted like a weak willow supporting the wind, "Rongrong has seen my aunt." ”

As soon as the queen saw Jiang Rongyue, her eyes turned red again, she stood up, personally helped Jiang Rongyue up, and said, "Silly boy, it was because of your cousin's denial last night that you ...... Are you really willing to forgive him? ”

Jiang Rongyue bowed lightly again, and said with a wry smile, "Back to my aunt's words, no matter how ruthless my cousin is to Rongrong, Rongrong is always ruthless to my cousin, because my cousin is my aunt's only bloodline, and it is also my aunt's hope for the future. ”

"Okay, it's so dissolving!" The queen shook her hand vigorously and said continuously, "You are really a good aunt, a good daughter of the Jiang family, and my aunt listens to you!" ”

With that, she glanced sideways at Yao Huang.

Yao Huang understood and immediately retreated outward.

She held an umbrella, walked to Xiao Xun's side, and said, "Prince Qiyu, Niangniang feels sorry for you being sunburned outside, so I call the slave maid to invite you in." ”

"Hmm," Xiao Xun replied in a deep voice, without waiting for Yao Huang to catch up with the umbrella, and had already strode towards the main hall.

After entering the main hall, he bowed his hand and respectfully saluted the queen, "The son has seen the queen mother." ”

"Sit down, prince!" The queen glanced at him coldly and said in an ice voice.

Xiao Xun sat down on the chair of the queen under the queen.

After Jiang Rongyue sat down, she stood up and said with red eyes, "Cousin." ”

Xiao Xun bowed slightly at her, completely unpretentious.

"Prince, this is a cold mung bean soup made in the kitchen, you can drink a bowl to cool off!" At the queen's suggestion, Aunt Song Ying personally brought in a bowl of mung bean soup and presented it to Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun took it, took a sip, relieved the dryness in his mouth, and then looked at the queen and said, "Queen Mother, Erchen has something to say to you alone, can you let the palace people retreat." ”

The queen looked at him for a moment and glanced at Aunt Song Ying.

Aunt Song Ying understood, and immediately took Yao Huang and the others to retreat outside.

In an instant, only the queen, Xiao Xun and Jiang Rongyue were left in the main hall.

Xiao Xun looked at Jiang Rongyue, who was sitting next to the queen, and couldn't help frowning.

Jiang Rongyue was looked at by him so sternly, she only felt a chill on her back, and subconsciously got up and said, "Auntie, Rongrong should also quit." ”

"No!" The queen held Jiang Rongyue's hand, looked at Xiao Xun and said, "Your cousin is not an outsider, just say anything you have to do!" ”

"It's okay," Xiao Xun nodded, he looked at the queen and Jiang Rongyue, smiled, and said solemnly, "Queen Mother, the son can promise you to let your cousin stay in the Yun Dynasty without having to go to ...... with your relatives."

"Really?" The queen's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise.

Xiao Xun nodded, and after a moment, he said, "But Erchen also has one condition. ”

"You say."

"In the future, the well water of the queen mother and the crown princess will not interfere with the river water!" Xiao Xun looked into the queen's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

When the queen heard his conditions, she was stunned at first, and then showed a touch of vulnerability, and said angrily, "In the final analysis, you are still for Lu Nianjin." ”

Xiao Xun looked at the queen's appearance, he only felt a headache, he was silent for a moment, and tried to persuade the queen, "You should think it is for the life of your son, can you tolerate her in the future?" ”
