Li Hong's steps were as light as a cat, if he hadn't approached to the point where Li Xiayu could see it when he looked up, she wouldn't have thought of looking up anyway.

And it was at this glance that Li Xiayu saw the beautiful child. The eyebrows are delicate, and with a bit of heroism. The small sword on his waist is still tied to a delicate tassel.

She looked at him, and he looked at her.

She's ...... That princess?

Quan Yi was a little overwhelmed - because those eyes were not as beautiful as the real thing.

"Elder Sister Huang......" Li Hong hesitated, looked at Li Xiayu timidly, and called softly.

This sound made Li Xiayu a little dazed, blinked his eyes, and it took a long time to react, the child in front of him who was also beautiful, and even a little more beautiful than the beautiful saber boy, was wearing the prince's clothes that had been talked about by his mother countless times.

She lowered her long eyelashes, and it took a while before she got up, and pulled Xuancheng, who was staring at the little ants crawling around in the grass, to get up, and she was about to bow down.

But her waist didn't bend down, and she was tightly grasped by a pair of small hands: "Elder Sister Huang, don't ...... like this"

She raised her eyes, looked at the little child's pleading face, and tightly twisted her clothes with some uneasiness, and then said softly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

As he spoke, he came back to his senses and went to pull his little sister and asked him to bow down as well.

But Li Hong's head shook even more, and he reached out to grab Princess Xuancheng, who had never even had a name, and said lightly after a while: "Elder Sister Huang, don't ...... like this."

He stopped, bit his lower lip, and said lightly with tears in his eyes for a long time: "Hong'er is here to see you today." You guys...... How are you doing? ”

Li Xiayu blinked: "Okay." ”

"Really?"

Li Hong looked at the humble hut behind them with a painful heart, and couldn't help but want to rush in directly to see what was going on, but after looking at Li Xiayu, he finally changed his face and asked with a smile: "That...... Can the eldest sister pour a cup of tea for Hong'er? Hong'er is thirsty. ”

Xia Yu turned his head, looked at the small room, and bit his lower lip: "Okay." ”

"No tea......" Xuancheng on the side suddenly said dumbfoundedly: "No tea......"

Li Hong's heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a big mallet, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and laugh: "It's okay, Hong'er has it with you." If the royal sisters like it, Hong'er will prepare it for the royal sisters, okay? ”

Xuancheng raised his head and stared directly at Li Xiayu, but in Quan Yi's opinion, that gaze seemed to see far, far away through her.

He couldn't bear to persuade Li Hong, but in the next second, Li Xiayu said softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please come in." ”

…… A moment later.

Whether it is Li Hong or Quan Yi, sitting in this room with a simple appearance but a very delicate interior, the feeling of surprise is overflowing with expression.

It is no wonder that, from the outside, in this simple hut surrounded by grass, except for the small hall used for welcoming guests at the beginning, it is indeed shabby and there is almost no place to stay.

And no matter what kind of place it is, it is the imperial regulatory instrument made by the internal division, and it is said that the oncoming eight-fold embroidered gold screen, Li Hong clearly recognizes-

"That...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that is not what Lord Xiao Siye Xiao said, the tribute was given to Her Royal Highness Princess Yiyang, but it was used by the queen mother...... Embroidered gold screens? How could it be here? ”

Quan Yi looked at the screen in surprise and asked softly - he would remember it, it was all because there was a big storm for it in the first place.

——Not long after Concubine Xiao Shufei was demoted, before Mei Niang was sealed, Xiao Siye and other people of the Xiao clan in Lanling were very worried about the safety of the two princesses, so they used the excuse of Princess Yiyang's birthday to take advantage of the opportunity of the embroidered gold screen to go to the secluded court to find out.

What kind of character is Mei Niang, how can she not see such careful thinking? Naturally, he immediately ordered that the foreign government personnel should not enter the secluded court without a purpose, and told them to only send things into the palace and not allow them to enter further.

Therefore, Xiao Siye had to be inquired by others. turned out to be convinced that the embroidered gold screen was placed in her own palace by Mei Niang, and she didn't send it to the two princesses at all.

So Xiao Siye was so angry that he scolded Mei Niang, and everyone in the court and China also talked about Mei Niang's move.

Quan Yi did not get the Yuan costume at that time, and he was not like now, when he could go in and out of the palace at will for the prince's companion and attendant, so he had to hear about it from his father and brothers.

At that time, the young mind was also quite stupid, who would have expected that he would see such a scene today, and he couldn't help but be a little at a loss - who said it was true?

Li Hong lowered his eyes and said lightly after a while: "The queen mother will never be rare about these things outside her body. After all, she has her father by her side. ”

Although he is a prince, he is very kind and gentle to others, and he does not have any shelf. That's why when Quan Yi said these words, he only regarded them as ordinary jokes.

But when he said these words, Quan Yi immediately felt that he had said the most undesirable thing, and hurriedly wanted to apologize, but Li Hong waved his hand to indicate that it was okay: "You have only entered the palace for more than a year, and you don't often see the queen mother, I don't know who she is, it is normal to think like this." I really want to thank you for not seeing this palace as such a narrow-minded person. ”

When Quan Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and at the same time, he secretly gave birth to a sense of admiration in his heart:

This child, who was five or six years younger than himself, was extremely reluctant to serve him before he came into contact with him.

Without him, he has a mother with the worst reputation in the world.

But his father and brother brought him into the palace as a servant, and he had to come. But he never thought that in the more than a year since he entered the palace, what he saw and heard was everywhere subverted what he had seen and heard in the past.

Seem......

Inside and outside a high palace wall, it was like two completely different worlds.

He blinked and stopped talking. However, Li Hong looked at Xia Yu, who had boiled tea and soup and prepared a small snack to entertain him, and said lightly: "Eldest Sister Huang, didn't the Queen Mother send some palace maids to the eldest sister of the Emperor as a waiter?" How to ......"

He glanced left and right, and said with some hesitation: "Why don't you see any of them?" ”

When Li Xiayu heard this, his whole body trembled slightly, but he stopped talking.

Xuancheng on the side was holding a little white cat in his arms and was stroking it blankly, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said in a wooden voice: "Because they wanted to kill me, they were captured and killed by the queen." ”

Li Hong, who was thanking Xia Yu and bringing the tea to his lips, immediately changed his face, put down the tea, and asked Xuancheng in a slightly trembling voice: "What did Sister Xuancheng say?!" Who...... Who wants to ......"

Li Xiayu was still trembling all over, Quan Yi looked a little pitiful, and couldn't help but reach out and take out a handkerchief for her, she looked up at him, she didn't take it for a while, just shook her head.

Quan Yi scratched his head, smiled at her embarrassedly, and was about to withdraw his hand, but he didn't expect Xia Yu to suddenly make a move and take the handkerchief.

Seeing that she took the veil, Quan Yi was also very happy, so he smiled again, turned around and listened carefully to Xuancheng and continued to say in that flat voice: "Those two palace maids. They took money from others and put something in the tea for me to drink. I saw it, and if I didn't drink it, they would pour it into my mouth, saying that the queen wanted me to drink it, and that I should tell my sister that she would do the same in the end, so it was better not to say anything.

Later, a flying uncle rushed in, knocked over the tea bowl, and took them away, telling me not to believe them, saying that they had been sent by someone else. ”

Li Hong trembled his lips, his face was pale, and he asked for a long time: "That...... How did Sister Xuancheng know...... They were killed......"

"That uncle told Xuancheng later." Xuancheng, who had been expressionless, suddenly hooked up a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Uncle told Xuancheng when he sent flowers to Xuancheng later-Uncle said that the queen didn't want to kill Xuancheng, nor did she want to kill her sister." The queen didn't hate Xuancheng and her sister, nor did she like Xuancheng and her sister.

So the queen just doesn't know what to do with Xuancheng and her sister. So she won't kill Xuancheng and her sister.

What did the uncle say......

Uncle won't lie to Xuancheng.

He never lied to Xuancheng.

He saw Xuancheng crying, so he gave Xuancheng a lot of fun, and pleaded with the queen's mother, and took his sister and Xuancheng out of the palace to see the outside world.

When he saw Xiaobai, he brought Xiaobai back to Xuancheng.

Uncle doesn't like to talk, but uncle loves to laugh, and uncle is also very good to Xuancheng and won't lie to Xuancheng. ”

The girl, who had been stunned, read it in a flat voice, smiling dumbly.

When she smiled, there seemed to be thousands of spring flowers blooming, and it seemed to be Guanyin's mercy, which was really indescribably moving.

For a while, Quan Yi was stunned. Li Xiayu glanced at him, then turned his head to look at his sister, and his gaze was much gentler.

Li Hong had a different mind, but he didn't speak for a long time.

……

Out of the small humble house, Li Hong put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at the grass hedge where the two girls were trapped, and suddenly called softly: "Who is stationed here to guard the two princesses?" ”

Quan Yi was stunned, looked left and right at no one, and was about to speak, when he saw two figures flashing, he was so shocked that he wanted to unsheath his sword, but after seeing the other party's shadow guard in the color of the dragon guard, he put down his hand.

"Minister Cui Sheng, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Hong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Cui Sheng...... Are you from the Bolingcui clan? Who are you? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, it is the grandfather of the minister."

Looking at the silent and heroic young man in front of him, Li Hong nodded, and said lightly for a long time: "Those two palace maids...... Thank you for your hard work. ”

Cui Sheng raised his heroic eyebrows, and said for a long time: "Your Highness suspects the queen mother? ”

Li Hong was a little unhappy by his direct question, Quan Yi was even more bluffed on one side, and regardless of the fact that the other party was ten years older than him, he stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you talking to?!" ”

Li Hongyang stopped him with his hand, and also shook his head to signal that Cui Sheng didn't have to care, and then continued: "If this palace is suspicious, it won't come to ask you." I went straight to ask the queen mother. ”
