"The strangest thing is the one who came up at the end of the crowd, she was at first in the ranks of the crowd and did not attract attention, and when she approached alone, I heard your mother exclaim: 'It is so similar!' But my mother asked quietly, 'Report your name and family history?' The woman has a melon seed face, thin eyebrows, and a few faint pockmarks can be faintly seen on her cheeks, and her posture is not outstanding. ’”

Hearing Jinping talk about Xia Cunxin, the assassin of Yunzhou, Lai Xing'er suddenly became interested: he had heard Mama Xia say that his only son was called Xia Cunxin, "Hearing her answer, my mother has not yet spoken, but your mother blurted out: 'What? You don't have the surname Yang, the surname is Xia? The woman looked surprised, and didn't know how to reply, and the Duke of Jin Guo, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "No wonder the noble concubine Niangniang is familiar, the Xia family is indeed a little similar to the late crown princess, speaking of which, the mother is no stranger to her, and her aunt is the former crown princess's side Xia Mama." Your mother stroked her chest and said: "This palace has only seen the portrait of the late princess twice in the East Palace, and at first glance I saw this woman, my eyebrows and eyes were as graceful as Concubine Yang's rebirth, and I was surprised for a while. ’”

Ying'er couldn't help but interrupt Jinping and said, "I hear it, is the only one who is talking about Zhaoyi being this woman surnamed Xia?" Not only can her family background and background not be compared with the Turkic Khan and the Zheng family of Xingyang, that is, compared with ordinary princes and eunuchs, but she also does not show any nobility, it is ......"

Jinping said with a smile: "Don't guess first, listen to me continue: At this time, my mother opened her mouth and said: 'The Xia family was kind to the East Palace in the past, and since it was different from others, it should be extraor......dinarily superior' At this point, the Duke of Jin interjected busily: 'According to the Xia family's background, the person who discussed the title is already Youxu, and the mother said so, the old minister thought that the Xia family could also negotiate the title of Jieyu. 'My mother-in-law knew that he had been recommended by Mama Xia when he was young, and she was grateful, so she pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "The emperor specially instructed the palace to agree on the new character rank this time, and there is no need to be bound by regular etiquette. Now there are only my sister and I serving the emperor in the harem, which is too sparse, and the Ashina clan and the Zheng clan are both because of their noble birth, and the Xia family is actually out of the queen mother's house. My mother's words were beyond the expectations of everyone present, that is, even a person like Jin Guogong, who had been in the palace for most of his life, was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It was your mother-in-law who took the lead in saying: 'This palace has also received the benefits of Mama Xia in the past, and it is said that my sister's words should not be refuted, but as soon as the newcomer enters the palace, she will discuss the sealing of the second grade Zhaoyi, which is really unheard of, if she is not surnamed Xia, but surnamed Wu, or surnamed Yang, there is still something to say, but ......'My mother-in-law saw that your mother-in-law was full of doubts, so she got up and walked to her, leaned over and whispered something in her ear, and your mother-in-law suddenly said: 'If there is such a thing, it is difficult for the emperor to still have such thoughts.' ’”

When Sakura heard this, she applauded and shouted, "I guessed it." This Xia family is not surnamed Xia ......"

Jinping was afraid that she would rashly reveal the mystery, so she hurriedly covered her mouth, and at this moment, she heard someone "sigh", both of them were startled, and looked for the sound, only to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old eunuch scurrying up from the grass not far from them, and one hand was holding a green snake more than two feet long.

"Come to Xing'er!" Jinping was both surprised and delighted, and shouted at Lai Xing'er.

Lai Xing'er picked up his arm and threw the snake in his hand far away, so he had to walk up to Jinping and Ying'er, and said with a hippie smile: "Two sisters, such a coincidence!" I just took a nap and dreamed that I was bitten by this long worm and ran into two sisters. ”

Jinping took a sip and scolded: "The ghost only believes it!" When did you enter the Daming Palace on an errand, for no reason, you actually hid in the grass and eavesdropped on us! ”

Sakura was two years older than them, and she stepped forward and grabbed Xing'er's arm and asked with concern, "Was it really bitten by a snake?" When is it not tight? ”

Lai Xing'er was used to laughing and scolding with Jinping, and while raising his arm to let Sakura inspect the wound, he pouted at Jinping and said: "Sister Ying'er treats people well, not like you who don't care about other people's lives and deaths!" ”

Jinping obviously saw that what the two of them said just now had been overheard by Lai Xing'er, and couldn't help but be annoyed and afraid, and said angrily: "Eavesdropping on others, you deserve to be bitten by a snake, and you should be bitten to death!" ”

Sakura saw that the blood oozing from the rice-sized wound on Lai Xing'er's arm was bright red, and she took out Fang Luopa, wrapped the wound for Lai Xing'er, and complained softly: "You too, what are you doing hiding in the grass in a good manner?" ”

Lai Xing'er knew that he couldn't avoid their interrogation, so he had to say nonsense: "I sent Lord Li back to the house by the emperor's holy decree, and when I came back, I went to the wrong palace gate, and I bumped into it by mistake, I didn't want to meet the two sisters by chance, I wanted to joke with the two of you, but I was bitten by a snake." Alas, people will be unlucky, and they can bump into ghosts in broad daylight! ”

"Who are you scolding a ghost?" Jinping became more and more annoyed by him, and rushed over and raised his hand to fight.

Lai Xing'er hurriedly hid behind Ying'er, raised her hands and said, "Good sister, don't fight, I'm talking about a masked ghost, not you!" ”

Hearing what he said, Sakura stopped Jinping and asked Lai Xing'er curiously, "What masked ghost?" Where did you see that? ”

Lai Xing'er rolled her eyes and thought: Why don't you take the opportunity to ask the two of them to help you find the masked woman? So he said: "Don't dare to deceive the two sisters, the younger brother did come a moment earlier than the elder sister, when the younger brother walked to the place where there were still a hundred steps away from the gate of the Shangfu Bureau, he suddenly saw a female ghost with a mask in the curtain hat stabbing obliquely, floating, floating, and finally floating into the Shangfu Bureau......"

"Nonsense!" Jinping took advantage of Xing'er's unpreparedness, and stepped forward and grabbed one of his ears, "Since it is masked, how do you know that it is a female ghost?" I see that you are obviously deliberately eavesdropping on us, stay for a while and follow us back to the palace to meet Niangniang, and see that you don't tell the truth when you arrive! ”

Lai Xing'er begged repeatedly: "Sister, please let go!" If you don't believe me, how about we go in and find out? ”

When Sakura heard him say this, she also said, "Shan'er, they have been here for a long time, why haven't they come out yet?" Let's go in and have a look. ”
