"King Mu?" Lai Xing'er exclaimed, "I haven't seen King Mu so far, what does this have to do with him deceiving me?" ”

"You are still young, it is better to know less about these shady things in the palace and in the court." Although Jing Xuan had vaguely guessed Li Jinzhong's intention to deceive Lai Xing'er, he didn't want to say to Lai Xing'er at this time, "According to the palace, don't ask him for the reason for the time being, you might as well follow the clue of Jiucheng Palace to find it in private, and it's not too late to ask after the results." In fact, the reason why she persuaded Lai Xing'er not to ask Li Jinzhong about it, there is a deeper reason that she can't explain to Lai Xing'er, that is, Lai Xing'er was the eyeliner that Empress Zhang ordered Li Jinzhong to personally select to sneak into the East Palace, and at present, Li Jinzhong is trying to take the opportunity of the Jing Palace to control the court.

"The little one listens to the mother." Thinking that her mother might be in the Jiucheng Palace at this time, she was looking forward to her going to meet her, Lai Xing'er's heart was warm and full of hope, and Li Jinzhong didn't pay much attention to his deception.

"Oh, when I saw my mother, I was just talking, and I almost forgot that I had something important to tell my mother." Lai Xing'er said, turned around and walked to the door of the hall, beckoned Pang Ming and others to carry a cage with the label of Hui into the hall, "This is a gift from Lord Yu Chengen to Niangniang, I brought it with me, please accept it with a smile." ”

Jing Xuan's face sank.

Regarding Yu Chengen, she had heard her father mention it many times, and although her father did not say it explicitly, she could also tell from her father's words that this person was by no means a good person. Lai Xing'er must have accepted his kindness in telling his mother of his whereabouts, so he came to give him a gift on his behalf, wanting to cling to him. Thinking about the reason, Jing Xuan was not in a hurry to refuse. only asked Lai Xing'er coldly: "What is in the box?" ”

"According to Lord Yu, the boxes are all things that women like to use, and there is a box outside the hall that is for Concubine Li." Lai Xing'er didn't understand these twists and turns in the officialdom and the palace at all, so he replied truthfully.

Jing Xuan had never seen someone like Lai Xing'er giving gifts to others and making friends with powerful people, she couldn't hold back the smile in her belly, and ordered Jinping: "Open the box and take a look." ”

Jinping was originally curious about what kind of rare thing was contained in the box that Lai Xing'er asked people to carry all the way. At this time, when she heard Niangniang's words, she personally stepped forward to tear off the seal of the box mouth, and lifted the lid of the box with a force.

Lai Xing'er was also curious about what was in the box, so he stood next to the box, saw that the lid of the box was lifted by Jinping, and looked into the box, but saw that the box was not filled with objects that women in the boudoir liked to use, only a pair of black armor. There were also six or seven colorful sachets on the armor. Could this be the gift that Yu Chengen specially entrusted himself to give to the concubine? Lai Xing'er couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart.

Jinping stretched out his hand and picked up the sachet placed on the armor in the box, sniffed it close to his nose, and smiled at Jing Xuan: "It's so fragrant!" This sachet is supposed to be for the princess to play with. ”

At the moment when Jinping raised his hand, Jing Xuan, Lai Xing'er, Pang Ming and others in the hall only felt a dazzling light flashed in front of them, so that people couldn't open their eyes.

Jing Xuan stretched out his hand to Jinping to ask for the sachets, only to find that there was a thin chain that strung six or seven sachets into a string, although the chain was thin, it felt quite heavy in his hand. She gently touched the chain with two fingers. The fingers felt slippery and cool to the touch, and they were by no means made of gold, silver, copper, and iron.

"Yu Chengen is only afraid that it is this chain. And not sachets. The box was filled with armor, and he must have known that he was practicing martial arts, so he did what he liked, and all the things he gave were used by the generals. Jing Xuan thought to herself, she thought to herself that these two gifts seemed to be unremarkable, but in fact they didn't know how much they were worth. If you suddenly turn it away, it will seem a little hypocritical, so it is better to accept it for the time being, and then return it to Yu Chengen in person when you have the opportunity in the future. With such a thought in his heart, Jing Xuan did not speak again. Even if I agreed to accept this somewhat strange gift.

Lai Xing'er saw that Jing Xuan accepted Yu Chengen's gift, and was happy, and then thought that the eldest princess of Changning was dead, and the king of Jiangling had taken refuge in the rebels, and Na Yu was afraid that there was no place to stay overnight in Chang'an City, so he deliberately asked Jing Xuan to take her to her side and still be a palace person, so that she could gradually dispel the idea of defecting to the king of Jiangling, and secondly, she could see her often......

So, Lai Xing'er plucked up his courage and pleaded with Jing Xuan: "The little one wants to beg Niangniang to take Tang Guo'er by her side and be a maid, as soon as the eldest princess dies, she will have nowhere to go, and I hope that Niangniang will be kind and allowed." ”

Jing Xuan heard him say it clearly, and he remembered in a trance where he had seen the name Tang Guo'er, but it was difficult to think exactly, so he asked Lai Xing'er: "There is a shortage of manpower in the palace, but I don't know where the person you are talking about comes from?" ”

Lai Xing'er started from the attack on Xingsuchuan on the way to Luo, and described to Jing Xuan the front and back of Nayu's repeated help.

Jing Xuan suddenly remembered that Tang Guo'er that Xing'er said turned out to be Nayu, the sister of Zhang Liang's concubine Nazhu, and she was also a member of the palace of the concubine and her predecessor. Lai Xing'er actually wants to keep such a person by his side? Jing Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Since this Tang Guo'er is a palace person who was sent out of the palace, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate to return to the palace again." According to what you just said, she is very skilled and a person who practices martial arts, so it is better to ask her to live in the deputy marshal's mansion for the time being, and when the palace explains to her father in the future, it is enough to find the next general for her in the military camp to marry, what do you think? ”

Lai Xing'er was first disappointed that Nayu could not return to the palace, and then thought about it, as long as she didn't leave Chang'an City, she would be able to see her often and be satisfied. At this time, he was in love, and he only thought about staying with Na Yu often, even if he could talk together every once in a while, he completely forgot that he was a eunuch, different from ordinary men.

"Where is Tang Guo'er now?" Jing Xuan saw that as soon as Lai Xing'er mentioned Tang Guo'er, he seemed a little distracted, quietly glanced at Jinping next to him, and asked intentionally.

"The two of us broke up at the entrance of Duliu Street, and she said that she was going to worship the eldest princess, and she should still be in the eldest princess's mansion at this time."

"Jinping, you accompany Xing'er to the eldest princess's mansion for a trip, and take that Tang Guo'er to the lord's mansion for proper placement." Jing Xuan glanced at Jinping and commanded.

As soon as Lai Xing'er mentioned Tang Guo'er, Jinping immediately felt that his expression was different, but in front of Jing Xuan, it was inconvenient to ask Lai Xing'er what was going on. Now that she heard that Jing Xuan ordered herself to go to see Tang Guo'er with Lai Xing'er, she was in Jinping's arms, and she took advantage of the opportunity to pull Lai Xing'er out, and twisted Lai Xing'er's arm fiercely, but her mouth was directed at Jing Xuan's promise: "Obey Niangniang's will."
