Qiu Xiaobei picked up the plant to check it and found that it was really a red heart, could it be that Fan Shenxi was carrying her, or did he let people pick it?

But born in that kind of place, no matter how high the light skill is, it is not easy to pick it up for a while, right?

There was no one in his arms, Fan Shenxi woke up quickly, and when he saw that there was no one on the bed, fortunately, he saw her standing at the table as soon as he turned around, otherwise he didn't know how to go crazy.

"What are you doing there?"

Qiu Xiaobei was stunned, turned around, still holding the red hearts in his hand, walked back to the bedside, and waved the red hearts in front of Fan Shenxi pretending to be angry: "Did you let people pick them?" I said that I don't need this, why do you still let people pick it, is anyone hurt? Tell me what kind of medicine you need, this medicine is for me, I have to give some thanks. ”

Fan Shenxi looked at the plant with deep eyes, and in the evening, Gonggong Li told him that he would not be able to pick it for a while, how could it be placed here? What's more, his subordinates know that if they really pick it, they will secretly hand it over to him tomorrow when they have time, how could they sneak into his room in the middle of the night and put it on the table for Qiu Xiaobei to see directly?

But he still smiled on his face: "No one has an accident, it's all fine, okay, put it back, it's the same tomorrow, it's almost sleep." ”

"Got it." Qiu Xiaobei turned back to the table, looked at the plant in his hand with Fan Shenxi behind his back, his brows furrowed, why did his intuition tell her that this plant was not picked by Fan Shenxi's people?

Thinking about it, after she put the plant back on the table, she smiled happily as she turned back towards Fan Shenxi.

After lying back down, she couldn't help but look up at the room again, naturally she couldn't see anything.

"Alright, go to sleep, stop making a fuss."

Fan Shenxi pressed her to lie down, wrapped her tightly in the quilt and stopped her from moving, and gently patted her on the back with one hand.

Qiu Xiaobei quickly closed his eyes, but he was still thinking about this in his mind.

If it weren't for Fan Shenxi's people, who wanted to quietly avoid the guards guarding and the shadow guards who were hiding in secret, unless they were masters of medicine like her, no, they had to be higher than her, so that she would not be aware of it, but this possibility was very small, and she herself had to admit that in terms of medicine, she was simply open.

If not, isn't it...... Which powerful ghost king is it?

Only the ghost king has the ability to "pick up things", and he can still come and go without a trace under her nose, but ...... But the ghosts are afraid of the dragon qi on Fan Shenxi's body, how can they still enter this house?

I couldn't figure it out, she naturally had insomnia, she fell asleep until dawn, and of course she didn't wake up the next day.

And Fan Shenxi couldn't wait for her to fall asleep all night, so she finally fell asleep, so naturally she had to deal with the things he couldn't figure out last night.

He met the shadow guard who was keeping vigil last night in the outer hall, but the shadow guard told him that he had been awake last night, but he didn't see anyone enter the bedroom, including Li Gonggong and others.

His own shadow guard knows that if there is really a dereliction of duty, he will not deny it: "Think clearly about this palace, there must be something you ignore." ”

Ying Wei thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Your Highness, there is indeed one thing, which is a bit strange. ”

"Say."

"Last night, just before Grandpa Pei got up, his subordinates found that they couldn't see the inside of the house clearly."

"Can't see clearly?"

"Yes, it's like a fog, you can see it, but you always feel that you can't see it clearly. However, this doesn't prove anything, even if you can't see clearly, you can still see it if anyone goes in. ”

Fan Shenxi slapped his hand on the handrail again and again: "In the martial arts, what kind of martial arts can avoid your sight and send things in quietly?" ”

"Your Highness, you have also practiced martial arts with your subordinates, and you can also ...... your subordinates together" Ying Wei paused, "Whether there is this kind of martial arts, Your Highness should be clear." ”

Fan Shen frowned.

"Your Highness, no matter how the other party delivered the things to your bedroom, the other party should have no malicious intent."

"It's hard to say whether it's malicious or not, it's just that, you guys should be more vigilant in the future."

……

Qiu Xiaobei was lying on the table, his eyes turned around, and his fingers were also flicking on the table.

"What are you thinking again?"

Qiu Xiaobei immediately sat up and looked at Fan Shenxi, who came in: "Your Highness, where have you been?" ”

Fan Shenxi smiled and moved his fingers, and Jing'an came in with a tray with a woman's skirt on it.

"W-This?"

"Gonggong Ke is afraid that you will be bored, so he invited the troupe today, and he can't be a person dressed as a eunuch sitting next to the palace, you have changed your clothes and are beside the palace openly."

"It's not okay, the people in the troupe are not your people, they haven't undergone any training, if you tell what you see and spread it to the palace?" Qiu Xiaobei thought about it.

She didn't care about men's or women's clothes, she just wore eunuch clothes for months, and she did want to try on women's beautiful dresses occasionally, but at most she just thought about it, and she didn't want to do it.

Fan Shenxi said lightly: "Please play the troupe, it is the queen mother of the palace, and I invited you to play for the queen mother in the sky, as for the woman next to the palace...... Oh, it's just a woman, look at the other princes, look at the children of those royal relatives and nobles, not to mention those who marry into the door, don't they all raise a few in private," he sneered, "What is this." ”

"But everyone thinks that you just married the third county lord of Wei, didn't you slap her in the face?"

"She said herself that she wouldn't come to the other courtyard with this palace, and she couldn't even care if there was a woman by her side here?" He is the crown prince, although he is a special prince, then the prince has always been the heir of the emperor in the future, which queen or concubine can not accept a concubine if the emperor can't take a concubine?

Of course, these are all for the outside to see, and there are all kinds of excuses outside, he clenched Qiu Xiaobei's hand, it was enough for him to have a wife.

"Don't worry," Fan Shenxi said with a smile, "Since you're here, don't think about anything, even if someone really wants to find out what kind of woman is next to Bengong, then let's investigate, Bengong wants to see if they can find it." ”

Probably thinking of fun, he raised that beautiful but wicked smile again.

Qiu Xiaobei shuddered: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what other people think, that, I'll change my skirt and let's go to the play." ”

As she spoke, she quickly took the clothes from Jing'an's hand and went inside to change them, so she didn't want to know what bad ideas Fan Shenxi was thinking about in her heart, anyway...... It's not her who gets straightened up.

Qiu Xiaobei changed her clothes, and then Jing'an, who came in to help, combed her sideburns and put on a hairpin, changing from a delicate father-in-law to a graceful woman, which is the feeling she gives when she sits obediently.

When she moves and laughs, she is a playful and clever girl again.

When she walked out, Fan Shenxi turned around, and when she saw her, she didn't turn her gaze, and the almost naked gaze made her blush.

"Ma'am," he held out his hand to her, "would you like to go with your husband and listen to a song?" ”

Putting her hand in his palm, she smiled picturesquely: "The concubine is willing." ”

For watching the play, although in Qiu Xiaobei's "hometown", there are really few people of the younger generation who watch the play, but Qiu Xiaobei has no aversion to watching the play, and even likes it a little, because the mother's mother's house, that is, her blind grandmother's home, who has lived for nearly 100 years, has a festival every year, inviting the Buddha to visit the ancestral house, and then inviting the troupe to sing.

Now, isn't it just a lively picture, the most important thing is the thought that Fan Shenxi wants to make her happy.

Under the stage, the prince's position was suddenly accompanied by a woman, this woman had never appeared before, just like suddenly appeared, but the people around him served as if this woman had been with the prince in the first place, and they were not surprised at all, and served her as a master.

also took a few glances at the drama in the troupe, secretly behind the curtain.

Qiu Xiaobei stared intently at the drama on the stage, because there are no fluorescent letters to remind the drama of what the drama sings in this era, she needs to listen carefully to understand, sometimes she wants to drink water when she is thirsty, and she only stretches her hand to the side without moving her eyes to the side, Fan Shenxi saw it, and quietly pushed the teacup to her hand, so that she could pick up the teacup smoothly, and when she was about to put the teacup back on the table, but when it was empty, she reached out and caught it.

didn't alarm her from beginning to end, and then silently looked at her side face watching the play seriously, as the saying goes, you are looking at the scenery, and I am looking at you watching the scenery.

In the middle of the play, a eunuch came over and said something in Gonggong Li's ear, Gonggong Li's expression sank, waved the eunuch away, and then leaned over and whispered to the prince.

The corners of the prince's mouth pulled coldly, and then he gently leaned over to Qiu Xiaobei's side: "You watch here first, I'll go to the toilet." ”

Qiu Xiaobei's eyes finally turned from the stage: "Oh, are you going to be convenient, I'll go with you." ”

"Why, even this little time, does Madame have to stick to her husband?" Fan Shen Xi quipped.

"Go, you go by yourself, who loves to follow."

Pinching her nose, Fan Shenxi took Gonggong Li and the two eunuchs away, Qiu Xiaobei stared at him and walked away, before he hummed and retracted his gaze.

But at this time, she didn't care about being on the stage, her hand flicked on the arm of the chair, and her eyes quietly looked around.

From the time she entered the Yuhong Courtyard, she liked this place very much, thinking that it was just because this place was beautiful, the air was good, and there was freedom here that was not in the palace.

It wasn't until this moment that she subconsciously wanted to find a Piao to ask, only to find out...... Since she entered the Yuhong Courtyard, she has never seen a soul!

There's no reason for this, the dragon aura of the East Palace is so heavy, and there are one or two souls in the corners and corners, Xiao A and Xiao B are, why is it so ...... in the other courtyard Clean?

On the other side, Fan Shenxi arrived at a side hall, where there was a palace maid kneeling, who was trembling with a white face and a look of fear, and saw Fan Shenxi coming in, and hurriedly kowtowed to him: "Your Highness spare your life, Your Highness spare your life." ”

"What's going on?" Fan asked lazily.

After the father-in-law of the steward saluted Gonggong Li and the crown prince, he said coldly to the kneeling palace maid: "Do you say it yourself, or will our family help you say it?" ”

The palace maid kowtowed to the prince several times, and cried and said, "Your Highness spares your life, the slave maid and the slave maid just painted and painted a few pictures." ”

"Are those paintings?" The housekeeper's father-in-law snorted at her, and then handed over the few paintings he had deducted to Fan Shenxi.

Fan Shenxi took his hand, dodged it and swept it on the drawing paper, the atmosphere in the side hall was frozen, but he finished reading a few paintings as usual, and nodded at the end: "The painting is good." ”

It's not bad, it's just realistic, look at this drawing paper, it's only the size of four palms, not only the scene is painted, but also two people are drawn, on such a small paper, the facial features of the two can be drawn very clearly, as long as he and Qiu Xiaobei stand together, in a comparison of the drawing paper, they can definitely recognize it.

"It's hard for you." Fan Shenxi raised his hand a little higher to look at the painting on the paper, "If you have excellent painting skills, you can only act as a small palace maid in the East Palace, which is really too big and useless." ”

"Slave maid, slave maid just learned some painting art with the painter when he was a child, there is, a little talent, slave maid look, look at you and Bei, Bei girl Qin Se and Ming, so envious, I want to paint that beautiful picture, slave and maid don't know this, this is not allowed."

"Don't know?" The steward's father-in-law scolded, "You have been in the palace for so long, and the master's face cannot be painted without permission, don't you know?" ”

"Slaves and slaves are just envious and painted, and they only look at it in private for themselves, if the master does not allow it, the slave and maid will immediately destroy the painting, never paint again, and the slave and maid will never paint again."

Fan Shenxi gently put the painting aside: "Such a pair of skillful hands, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't paint?" ”

"As long as the slave can serve the master, it is enough, no, there is no need to paint, paint." The palace maid nervously tried to curry favor.

Fan Shenxi nodded: "What I said is that as long as you can serve the master, it is enough." But since you don't paint anymore, it's useless to have these hands, so go ahead. ”

The palace maid was stunned, reacted, and kowtowed vigorously in panic: "Your Highness, please spare the slave and maid, spare the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will never draw again, never paint again, you spare the slave and the maid, spare the slave and the maid, please beg you." ”

But the guards had already come up, pulled her up from left to right, covered her mouth and dragged her out.

"Your Highness, except for her hands?" Gonggong Li asked, "The other party has been lurking in the East Palace for so long, and in the past, she couldn't enter the front hall to serve, and she has been dormant and has not moved, but now here, she finally led herself to be exposed, and she also knew about Miss Bei, don't you need to ...... her out?" Even if you don't have hands, you still have a mouth to talk about.

"Of course," Fan Shenxi gently turned the wrench on his thumb, "the child in this palace is in his mother's womb, how can he be blushing casually." ”

Gonggong Li was a little confused, just to keep Xiaobeizi's identity from being discovered, he could kill dozens of palace people at that time, would this be merciful? When did His Highness change his surname and take the path of benevolence?

Fan Shenxi picked up the pieces of paper and handed them to Gonggong Li: "This painting is really good, if you find someone to copy it, it must be exactly the same as this painting and people can't distinguish it." ”

"This ......" Gonggong Li didn't quite understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, and stretched out his hands to hold the painting, but Fan Shenxi grabbed the side of the painting and didn't mean to let go.

"But this palace thinks that the woman in the painting is not like it at all, which makes people change it."

After saying this, Fan Shenxi let go of the painting, and Gonggong Li thought only for a moment, and immediately understood what Fan Shenxi meant: "Yes, Your Highness, the old slave must do it well." ”

"Okay, you can deal with the rest, this palace has to go back quickly, otherwise, she will feel that this palace has fallen into the toilet."

Gonggong Li was a little speechless, when would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say such indecent words so casually?

……

After watching the play, Fan Shenxi accompanied his wife back to the room.

"What are you thinking, the soul is not possessed."

After cleaning up, Qiu Xiaobei went to bed first, and when Fan Shenxi came over, he saw that she was holding a glass of water and didn't drink it, so he looked at the water in a daze.

Qiu Xiaobei raised his head and slammed his mouth at him: "I suddenly want to eat dumplings." ”

"Hungry? Then I'll let people do it now. ”

"No need," Qiu Xiaobei grabbed Fan Shenxi's arm, "I'm not very hungry, I just suddenly want to eat, but it's so late now, I'll fall asleep when it's done, tomorrow, you can let someone do it tomorrow." ”

"Sure? Don't lie down and shout at me that you're hungry for a long time. ”

"No, but I can say okay, I want to eat leeks and pork, more lean meat, less fat."

"When is this food not done according to your liking?" Fan Shenxi felt that what she said later was simply too much, the cook in the dining room of the East Palace, who didn't know that she didn't like to eat fatty meat, and sometimes she could spit it out to him if she was a little greasy.

Qiu Xiaobei said with a smile: "I heard that I have been stupid for three years when I am pregnant, I guess I am really a little stupid." Sleep, sleep, I've been sleepy for a long time. ”

"I'm sleepy and want to eat." Fan Shenxi asked her to lie down next to her and helped her twist the quilt, "Go to sleep." ”

He watched her close her eyes, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he stared at her for a long time before he turned out the light, lay down, rubbed against the top of her head, and closed his eyes.

When the breathing of the two of them stabilized, the servants who were still busy outside gradually went back to rest, and the sound of talking, moving animals, etc., all quieted down, and with the moon high in the sky, the entire Yuhong Courtyard was so quiet that there was no sound of insects chirping.

Suddenly, the kitchen fire lit up for no apparent reason, and after a while it went out on its own.

Suddenly, the smoke wafting out of the incense burner in the room became thicker, and the entire bedroom was once again shrouded in smoke.

Miraculous things happened, a food box was unexpectedly uncarried, hung in the air, floated in through the window little by little, and finally placed it on the table very, very lightly.

There seemed to be a cry of relaxation in the air, and a wind was about to leave through the window.

"Is this leaving, every time I send things over so quietly, I can't thank you properly, how embarrassed."

A strong wind blew in the room, but soon, the wind was forcibly suppressed by something, and the room seemed to be still, and there was no wind left.

Qiu Xiaobei got out of bed, walked straight to the table, covered the incense burner that was still smoking, and looked in the direction of the window, where she saw a piece of armor, complete from the helmet to both feet, quietly about to go out of the window.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave, stay and talk." She crossed her arms over her chest and asked.

The armor paused, perhaps wondering, and turned around - the armor was really just armor, on the front of the helmet, there was no face, there was nothing black inside, and further down, there was no neck, no hands and no feet, just a human form composed of pure armor.

If others saw this armor move on its own, they would probably be frightened, but for Qiu Xiaobei, who has seen strange demons and monsters, this is just a certain manifestation of the spirit, she smiled at him, and then opened the food box, and saw that there were dumplings inside, she picked up the chopsticks placed next to her, picked up one and put it in her mouth.

The dumplings were very full, and one stuffed her mouth full, and it was a little hot, and she ate it while beware of it coming out of her mouth, and nodded again and again: "It's so fragrant, the craftsmanship is so good, it's delicious, uh-huh." ”

Now, the armor finally decided: "You—can you see me?" ”

"I've got to talk about you, what do you say you're hiding so well?" Qiu Xiaobei finally swallowed it, and immediately accused, "I thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand what was going on." ”

The armor drifted closer to her, "Can you really see me?" ”

Qiu Xiaobei's answer was to stare at it with his hands on his hips.

"Eh, it's really strange, it's been so long, you're the first to see me, I didn't expect to be able to see us, I knew earlier, I don't have to be so sneaky, the young master's body, it's not easy to get close."

It said, backing away from the window.

Judging from the tone of its voice, it should be a relatively bold and rude man.

"Okay, let me ask you," Qiu Xiaobei pointed to the food box, "what do you mean by that?" And last night's 'hearts' were picked by you, and the hot water from the night before yesterday was prepared for me, right? What exactly do you want to do? ”

She looked at the armor, "You were a general when you were alive, right?" It is estimated that the grade is not low, do you want to please us so that you can do something for your Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"No, the prince can't see me, he doesn't know what I've done, how can he do things for us?"

"Then you are ......"

"Don't think about everything, there must be some plan to do it, Lao Tzu is just ...... Ahem, I'm just glad that the prince has offspring, and I just want to do my best. ”

Qiu Xiaobei looked at it suspiciously: "Are you ......?"

"Wait," Armor realized the problem, he looked up at the place where the shadow guard should be nesting, and then at the bed, "What's the matter, they ......"

"Don't worry, it's just a harmless drug," Qiu Xiaobei touched his nose, "You also said it, you haven't met anyone who can see you, a person like me with yin and yang eyes is known, what do you think everyone will think of me?" I'll let them sleep, and it won't hurt them. ”

The peeping in the armor nodded his head: "It's okay, you're right, General Ben thinks that even if he is a ghost, he is also a righteous ghost, but if he is seen, no matter who it is, he will be afraid at the first time, and it will hurt Lao Tzu...... It's so bad that even if I have the ability to let people see me in a short time, I don't dare to do it. ”

Qiu Xiaobei couldn't help but laugh and said: "General, just say it if you say it, why do you still change your words." ”

The arm of the armor raised his head and peeked up and scratched his head, the scene that should have been scary was revealing a hint of cuteness and honesty: "It's not that the marshal doesn't allow it, saying that I should look like a general when I become a general, I always let me study and cultivate myself, but my temper in the past 20 years or so can be changed." ”

Qiu Xiaobei smiled: "Marshal? But...... Empress Ling? ”
