To say, the fourteenth year of Yongchang Kyoto City is really stormy, I am afraid that in addition to the chaos in the world in the past few decades, there is nothing more frightening for the people of Kyoto City than this year!

Early in the morning, the common people all over Kyoto were spreading that the son of Anpeibofu had died.

How did he die?

It is said that he was killed by the admirer of Xue Mingyi, the top brand of Jinyulou who died in his hands before. It is also said that he was jealous of others and was beaten to death. Some people even say that he is actually a pervert, not only a good prostitute but also a good man, the little guy can't stand his perverted torture and killed him!

What does the truth really look like?

Rong Jin drew his eyebrows in the mirror, and at the same time asked Nanlou, who was sitting on his side, "Why is it so evil, isn't it just a dead person?" ”

Nanlou said with an innocent face: "Yes, these people are really boring, people are dying every day in Kyoto City, but they are just dead scum, as for it?" ”

"As for it?" Linlang walked in from outside, took Nanlou's words, and said, "Why don't you tell the girl how you killed people?" ”

This is a particular statement!

Rong Jin took the last stroke, threw away the eyebrows in his hand, and turned to look at the south building, "How did you get killed?" ”

Nanlou smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to Linlang's nonsense, I really didn't do anything about him." Mo said softly: "But it just didn't let him die too happily!" ”

This is a bit of a talk, Rong Jin still wanted to ask more carefully, but Xingyu, who was fully dressed, looked at the sky and said to Rong Jin: "County Lord, it's time to enter the palace." ”

Rong Jin followed Xingyu's gaze, looked out, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Linlang and the others stood up and sent Rong Jin out.

"...... over there in the paper alley," Rong Jin looked at Linlang.

Linlang said softly: "Miss Rong, don't worry, Li Yuanna, I have already talked to him." ”

Rong Jin nodded.

She only hopes that Long Wei and Li Yuan will not be as paranoid as Hongying!

"I've already explained the warm spring and red beans, Yu Linglong should pay attention." Rong Jin said as he walked out, "Chu Weiyi has never been seen, if I guessed correctly, he should not be in Duanwang's Mansion, but went to the palace." ”

Linlang nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Shuangfeng is still staring at Duanwangfu, and sent a message yesterday, saying that Chu Wei didn't come out, but Duanwang Ye entered the palace, girl, you can be careful today!" ”

"I see."

After a while, the group had already walked to the second gate, the carriage was already waiting there, Rong Jin got into the carriage, waved his hand to Linlang and Nanlou who were standing there, and the carriage moved forward, leaving the county lord's mansion for a while, and going in the direction of the palace.

The carriage from Xicheng to Nancheng went faster and took half an hour, and there was nothing to do for a while, Rong Jin remembered the previous topic, turned his head to look at Xingyu and asked, "How did the prince of Anping Bofu die?" ”

Xingyu was stunned at first when she heard this, and after being stunned, her porcelain-white face was as if two lumps of rouge had not been spilled out, and the red one could drip blood.

Rong Jin couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it, she tilted her head and looked at Liu Nianxia, not wanting Liu Nianxia to meet her gaze, but she quickly avoided it, and her face was also bright red.

"What's going on?" Rong Jin asked puzzled.

Xingyu saw that she didn't say anything, and her own county lord was afraid that she would have to ask all the time, so she swallowed her dry throat and said softly: "The girl in the south building doesn't know what she did to the prince of Anping, who is like crazy, naked halfway, holding people and gnawing and kissing, and finally facing a wall...... I just broke my own children and grandchildren! ”

Descendants? Isn't that a man's little brother?

If this is thousands of years from now, it can still be connected, but this era is ...... Rong Jin deeply mourned for Uncle Anping's son. But thinking of those women who died in his hands, I felt that his way of death was actually not wronged by him!

"How is Tianxiang Lou over there?" Rong Jin looked at Xingyu and asked, "Anping Bofu didn't go to find trouble, right?" ”

Xingyu shook her head and said, "What happened last night, today the county lord entered the palace early in the morning, even if there is something over there, I'm afraid the news won't be able to spread." ”

Rong Jin thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

At that moment, he pressed this matter and no longer thought about it, but put his mind on the affairs of the palace.

"Nian Xia, have you ever been in the palace?" Rong Jin looked at Liu Nianxia.

Liu Nianxia shook her head and said softly: "My father is just a carp from the fifth grade, and he is like a carp crossing the river in this Kyoto city. The lady who enters the palace is generally more than three grades! ”

"Then, Miss Zhou from Yongcheng Houfu, have you ever been in contact with it?" Rong Jin asked.

Liu Nianxia naturally knew that the "Miss Zhou" that Rong Jin said was the future crown princess, Zhou Huiqi!

She looked at Rong Jin with a guilty face and said, "I just met a few times when I was a child, and I didn't have much contact with him when I was older." ”

Rong Jin thought about it and understood.

Yongcheng Hou is the imperial party, the red man in front of the emperor, and the marquis of Yipin, the people who want to come to Yongcheng Hou are naturally rich or noble, Liu Nianxia's father is just from the Wupin Military Department of the Qing Division, with Liu Nianxia's identity, she said that she had met a few times when she was a child, in fact, it should have been just a distant face-to-face, and there was no substantive contact.

Seeing that Rong Jin was silent, Xingyu frowned and asked softly, "County Lord, are you worried about the people in the palace, they are playing tricks?" ”

"No, it's definitely going to be tricky, I just want to know how many people will get involved." The corners of Rong Jin's lips curled up with a sneering arc and said softly.

"But this is the time of the palace!" Xingyu looked at Rong Jin with a stunned expression, "They still dare to make trouble under the noses of the emperor and the queen?" ”

"How could it not?" Rong Jin leaned back and said softly: "Don't forget where my mother happened back then!" ”

Xingyu didn't say a word when she heard the words for a long time.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Leaning slightly, Liu Nianxia looked up at Rong Jin and said softly: "County Lord, do you say that the new side concubine raised by Prince Rui will enter the palace today?" ”

"Yes?" Rong Jin thought for a while and said, "If you don't mention it sooner or later, at this time, Wang Xueyan was promoted to the side concubine, isn't it just for this palace banquet?" ”

"Then the young lady from Yao Shilang's Mansion should also enter the palace today!" Liu Nianxia wrinkled her brows and said, "Lord Rui is not afraid that these two will be pinched?" ”

"Don't worry, you can't pinch!" Rong Jin said coldly, "Not only can't you pinch it, but it is estimated that it can be twisted into a ball!" ”

Liu Nianxia looked at Rong Jin puzzled.

Rong Jin had already closed his eyes slightly, and lazily leaned on the cushion behind him to close his eyes and recuperate.

Liu Nianxia and Xingyu exchanged glances, the two of them closed their mouths together, and also followed the eyes and noses, noses and hearts, thinking about the dangers that may be encountered when entering the palace, and how to deal with them then!

Early in the morning, outside the Yuzhao Palace, a carriage gradually stopped.

All of them are beaded and green canopies, and the tall horse coat is smooth and shiny, showing the extraordinary identity of the owner of the horse everywhere!

When Rong Jin and his party arrived, the carriage queue had already lined up at Jinshui Bridge.

"County lord, there are carriages and sedan chairs in front." Xingyu lifted the curtain of the car, and after taking a look, she turned back to Rong Jin and said, "I'm afraid I have to go over." ”

Rong Jin nodded, Xingyu beckoned the coachman to stop, she and Liu Nianxia got out of the carriage, and then turned around to help Rong Jin in the carriage.

The ladies who came to participate in the queen's flower-viewing banquet sat in a carriage farther away, and those who were closer took a sedan chair. But all the things that should have arrived at this time are all together, and the ones who walk in front are just that, and the people who are walking behind have also given up the carriage and sedan chair, and are walking forward surrounded by the mother-in-law and maids in the house, and I don't know who suddenly said a word.

"The Lord of Yongning is here!"

So, for a while, everyone looked back at Rong Jin.

I saw a hand like a green onion peeling from behind the curtain of the carriage.

The ten fingers are slender, and they are embroidered with the cuffs of the big red Hanmei map, which only makes people feel that the skin is like congealed fat, as if the fine white porcelain with a layer of white glaze is added.

Before everyone could wake up from this moment of amazement, they saw a man poking out of the carriage.

The long hair is lightly pulled, piled up with black clouds, but there is only a lone green hosta inserted between the smooth and clear hair like satin, the verdant hosta, clear Lingling, moist and moist, at first glance it is not ordinary.

Everyone looked down again, and only felt that the eyebrows were warm, the clouds and temples were fragrant, the autumn waves were condensed, and the soft wattle cream was ...... It's not enough to describe the face in front of me that is almost suffocating.

Rong Jin wore a moon-white embroidered plum blossom carved silk gown today, in addition to the green hosta in her hair, she also wore a pair of Nanzhu earrings the size of lotus seeds and rice, and there was nothing else on her body. It's just a simple pair of Nanzhu earrings, but because of the high quality of Nanzhu, the brilliance looms, making her elegant and a little quiet, which is really beautiful and beautiful!

Facing the amazing gaze of everyone, Rong Jin raised his eyebrows, and a bright light like the moon flashed in his apricot eyes.

Call!

Everyone gasped.

Everyone knows that the mother of the county lord of Yongning was the first beauty in Kyoto in the past, but who would have thought that the beauty of the county lord of Yongning was three points more beautiful than Rong Fanghua that day!

In the silence, there was a barely audible snort.

This sound, which can be absolutely ignored in normal times, is now like a calm lake falling into a boulder, and it instantly splashes a monstrous wave.

Everyone was surprised.

His eyes all fell on the carriage behind Rong Jin.

On the wall of the carriage, there is a huge word "Rui".

The carriage of the Rui Wang's Mansion?

Before everyone woke up, the mother-in-law who followed the carriage had already helped a person in the carriage who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pink and silver silk embroidered butterfly pattern Guangling large-sleeved shirt, a moon skirt with a butterfly pattern in ink, and a blue silk around the waist. It was covered with a light white tulle with a blue butterfly pattern embroidered on the hem.

Rong Jin instantly remembered that Wang Xueyan, who had just been mentioned as a side concubine by Li Kai, couldn't help but squint his eyes lightly and looked at him carefully.

The slender willow eyebrows, because of the description, are more and more lined with her fair and delicate skin, and a pair of Danfeng eyes with flowing eyes are full of brilliance, and she is looking at Chaorong Jin. With a faint red red lip, he slightly provoked a smile and a mocking arc, but it is undeniable that this face is really beautiful!

Seeing that she had just appeared, she attracted a lot of attention, and Wang Xueyan's delicately painted face showed a smug smile, holding her grandmother's outstretched hand, and walking forward proudly.

When she passed by Rong Jin's side, she paused, looked at Rong Jin with side eyes, and after a hurried glance, she asked coldly: "You are the county lord of Yongning, Rong Jin?" ”

Rong Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, and he didn't answer her words.

The grandmother beside Wang Xueyan immediately frowned, and shouted to Rong Jin: "Bold, why didn't you answer when the side concubine asked you." ”

Rong Jin gave a look to Liu Nianxia on his side.

Liu Nianxia took a deep breath, stepped forward with courage, and said to the angry grandmother: "This mother, my county lord has a fate, may I ask your mother what is the grade?" ”

"Poof".

I don't know who in the crowd let out a chuckle.

If it is the main concubine of the palace, it is a product, but the side concubine is ...... After hearing the chuckle, Wang Xueyan's pink, white and tender face suddenly turned red as if she had been splashed with a layer of blood.

She glared fiercely at the mother-in-law beside her who raised her toes to ask Rong Jin questions. The mother-in-law's body trembled, and she hurriedly retreated without daring to come out.

Wang Xueyan looked at the lively crowd again, it must be the favorite concubine of Li Kai, the king of wisdom, except for some ladies who were born in famous families, most of them looked at Wang Xueyan with a flattering smile on their faces for the first time.

Rong Jin thought to herself, this flower-viewing banquet is a Hongmen banquet, she showed the jade seal again, and entered the palace gate, I don't know how many demons and monsters are waiting for her, and it is not enough for Wang Xueyan to bring a sacrificial knife!

Therefore, when Wang Xueyan was shaking the limelight of her concubine, she didn't say a word, raised her feet and walked forward.

How would Wang Xueyan know that Rong Jin was so arrogant and domineering that he would leave. For a while, he was so angry that he couldn't think about it, so he shouted: "Stop!" ”

Rong Jinyuan didn't want to waste time, but after thinking about it, he didn't take advantage of the crowd at this time to make an example, but he was afraid that those who were going to turn around and not be sure how to trouble her.

Thinking like this, she simply stopped her steps neatly, turned her head to look at Wang Xueyan behind her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you talking to me?" ”

Wang Xueyan's beautiful Danfeng eyes were cold, and she said: "Rong Jin, although you are a good product, but when it comes to the order, you still have to call me a cousin, regardless of the dignity for the time being, but you should always know the order of the young and the old, right?" ”

Scold!

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Rong Jin would almost laugh out loud.

I've seen people shameless, but I've never seen people slap their faces like this!

"Oh, I'm sorry, Concubine Wang, my grandmother only had two children, my mother and my uncle, and as far as I know, my uncle only had one son. I don't know, where did you line up this affinity order? ”

"You ......"

Wang Xueyan blushed for a while, as if she had been bitten by a cat, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

Because she was orphaned since she was a child, she later returned to the Yue Guo Mansion by following Su Yutong's path, but she was only sent to a small courtyard. She didn't know a lot of things, she only knew that Rong Jin had an enmity with the Wang family. And when Wang Su gave her to King Rui, some words were also mentioned.

Finally, now there is a chance to make a comeback in front of Rong Jin, she naturally has to make good use of it, who knows that before she makes a move, she will be beaten by Rong Jin!

But in just a moment, Wang Xueyan put away the annoyance on her face, and suddenly changed to a pitiful appearance, looked at Rong Jin with tears in her eyes, and sobbed: "Rong Jin, I know that you have never looked down on your mother, you don't look down on me, you think we are from humble backgrounds, and you disdain to be with us, but you must not forget, you are not much more noble than us!" ”

Rong Fanghua's loss of virginity, although it has been in the daylight, but in any era, when it comes to the loss of virginity, unless it is a death to Mingzhi, it is a sin to live!

Wang Xueyan pulled the veil and wiped the tears on her face, but her eyes that looked at Rong Jin were shining with viciousness.

Proud of what?

What about the county lord of Yipin?

It's not a little mongrel who doesn't even know who his own father is!

"You're so funny, why do you want to rush up to entangle me when you know that I disdain to be with you?" Rong Jin sneered lightly, half ridiculed and half mockingly said to Wang Xueyan: "Or is it that my aunt gave birth to my aunt?" If you don't let people slap you in the face for a day, you're afraid of forgetting who you are? ”

Aunt Wang Xue shook the handkerchief in her hand, her apricot eyes glared, and she was about to have a seizure.

It's just that at this moment, Rong Jin raised her head suddenly, and showed a smile like a bright moon and clouds in the direction behind her, "Mrs. Yao, Miss Yao, you are here." ”

As soon as Rong Jin's words fell, Wang Xueyan froze, forgetting to reprimand Rong Jin, but turned around and looked behind her. When she looked at a face that was as graceful as a hibiscus out of water, she only felt like a thorn stuck in her throat for a while, so that she couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

Yao Xiurong didn't expect to meet Wang Xueyan here, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

It's just that she was stunned for not long, and Mrs. Yao, who was walking in front of her, had already come back to her senses, she swept past Wang Xueyan, and her eyes fell on Rong Jin.

She knew Rong Jin, but ...... Mrs. Yao frowned slightly, looked at the mother-in-law beside her with a puzzled expression, and asked softly: "Ah Cai, which lady is this young lady from the adult's house, why don't I know it?" ”

Wang Xueyan, who was stunned a moment ago, couldn't help but be happy in her heart at this time, and she wanted to speak, but she didn't want to, but Rong Jin spoke at this time.

"It doesn't matter if Madame doesn't know me, but this," Rong Jin pointed at Wang Xueyan, looked at Mrs. Yao and Yao Xiurong with a smile and said, "The two of you should be no stranger, right?" ”

Yao Xiurong's beautiful eyebrows and eyes were suddenly twisted together, and the two autumn-like eyes looked towards Rong Jin with a touch of almost invisible annoyance.

If this had been placed three days ago, she would definitely not know who Wang Xueyan was. But today, if she no longer knew who the person standing in front of her was, she would really live in vain!

Yao Xiurong frowned, and was about to speak, but found that her sleeves had been pulled, and she looked down at Mama Cai on her mother's side. Pursing her lips, Yao Xiurong lowered her face and made a shy look.

Mrs. Yao ignored Rong Jin, but turned sideways to Mrs. Lang, the right attendant of the household who was walking from behind, and said: "Hey, I haven't been out for a few days, how do I feel like a lifetime, these little girls are not only beautiful, but also have a more spicy temperament, when we were young, where did we dare to say hello to people without the elders to speak." ”

There is a bit of an ancient meaning in the words. It is even more undisguised to disdain and ridicule Rong Jin!

Liu Nianxia, who was on the side, listened and was about to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Rong Jin's look.

Where is Mrs. Lang of the right servant of the household department willing to wade into this troubled water, she walked into the crowd with a haha, and said in a slightly raised voice as she walked: "Mrs. Fang, why did you come so early, I still thought that you had to be behind me, I don't want to, you are ahead of me." ”

Mrs. Yao was left behind, and her face suddenly turned blue and white.

At this moment, Rong Jin spoke again.

"Mrs. Yao is afraid that she has misunderstood me with good intentions," Rong Jin looked at Mrs. Yao with a smile on his face, and said: "It was the servants of the Rui Wangfu who pulled me to climb relatives, so I wanted to find someone who could speak well to evaluate the reasoning, and I didn't want to see Mrs. Yao and Miss Yao as soon as I looked up." Only then did I take the liberty to speak out, and I ask my wife to forgive me for any rudeness. Come to think of it, it's also that I'm young and ignorant. I didn't know, this one who entered the door first was the big one, and the one who entered the door later was just an empty name. I don't blame Madame for being so afraid! ”

Yao Xiurong listened to Rong Jin's sentence, "The one who enters the door first is the big, and the one who enters the door later is just a name", a pink face suddenly became angry, and he endured it and endured it, but he still couldn't hold back.

"Rong Jin, thanks to you, you are also from a famous family, don't you know the difference between respect and inferiority, the monarch and the minister are important, the concubine is different, and the young and the old are orderly?"

"Heh......" Rong Jin chuckled lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yao Xiurong, "I didn't know, but now that Miss Yao said this, I understand." In this way, please Miss Yao take care of the minions in your house, don't rush to the door to climb relatives! ”

When the words fell, ignoring Yao Xiurong, who was blushing and red, and Wang Xueyan, who was trembling with anger, turned around and slowly walked along the palace road.

But everywhere she went, those ladies and young ladies who were originally crowded were like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and they gave way in an instant, letting her take Xingyu and Liu Nianxia Shi Ran forward.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the first palace gate, and there was already a little eunuch waiting at the palace gate with a sedan chair.

The mat was set up in the Imperial Garden.

Although it is the day of mid-autumn, because there is no shortage of capable people in the palace, it is a spring that dresses up like a flower in the season when thousands of trees are withering.

There are pink light white bowl size of a beautiful wood hibiscus, there are also three or three twos to the wind to send incense for decades of old cinnamon, more bright red like fire, deep purple and purple flowers, but the most surprising is that the flower is different, white, red, yellow spread out, like a sea of flowers of various chrysanthemums. It's dazzling and beautiful!

When Rong Jin arrived, there were already many people in the Imperial Garden.

The clothes are fragrant and the sideburns are pierced between the flowers, if you don't look closely, you can't tell where the flowers are and where are the people!

"County Lord," Xingyu took a deep breath and asked in a daze, "How can there be so many people?" ”

Rong Jin gave Liu Nianxia a look and motioned for her to explain what was going on.

"If it is only a lady of the third grade or above, there are not so many people." Liu Nianxia said to Xingyu: "But these ladies bring their own young ladies and maidservants in the house, so there are naturally more people." Moreover, although Mrs. Yao is not of sufficient rank, there are some people who are related to her. It's over, those nobles in the harem who are not low in status naturally have to take advantage of this time to meet the people in the family, or to seek a future for the juniors of the mother's family who have not yet married, right? There are many people who bend around like this. ”

Xingyu nodded suddenly and said, "So that's the case, I also said, there are so many people in the third grade, so the fourth and fifth grades have to be doubled!" ”

Rong Jin smiled, his eyes glanced around the crowd lightly, and at the end, he chose a slightly secluded position and sat down, and said to Liu Nianxia: "While the main lord has not come, you go around and see if there is any Mrs. Yongcheng." ”

"Yes, County Lord."

Liu Nianxia answered, and then retreated lightly.

The Imperial Garden was full of people, and one or two soft laughter sounded from time to time in the Fengyi Palace, which was a little distance away from the Imperial Garden.

When Li Xi arrived, a sweet and crisp voice was using her magnetic voice, and she said slowly: "If you go back to Niangniang, you haven't read any books, but you just learned a few words from the masters." ”

Inside, Empress Lu's smiling voice sounded closely.

"The "Diamond Sutra" that you asked your mother to bring into the palace a few years ago, although the pen power is a little weaker, it is smooth and round, rich and pure. If you only know a few words, you can't write such a neat and neat small letter. ”

Before Empress Lu's words fell, another gentle and gentle voice sounded.

"Niangniang, don't praise her, if you praise her again, she's just afraid that her tail will rise to the sky."

After this voice fell, Empress Lu's laughter resounded in the hall, "Mrs. Yongcheng Hou, although the children of other families like us are all taught strictly, but the children have done a good job, and they should be praised." Otherwise, if it's good, don't boast, and if it's bad, you'll be punished, who wants to learn well, don't you say? ”

"Niangniang is right, it's the courtiers who are stupid."

The corners of Li Xi's lips curled up with a shallow arc, and he gestured slightly to Debao who was waiting at the door.

Debao chin said, turned his head sideways and said inside: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”

The queen's voice immediately sounded in the room, "This kid, don't go to his business, what are you doing here?" Although he said this, he still raised his voice slightly and said, "Please come in, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

And in this compartment, Li Xi had already picked up the corner of his robe and walked up the stairs, and Debao immediately lifted the glass curtain and respectfully sent him in.

In the room, she was originally sitting under the head of Queen Lu, with a slightly thin body, her face was like a full moon and she wore a dark apricot-colored silk shirt, and the woman who was about forty years old quickly stood up and bowed to Li Xi at the moment she saw Li Xi.

As the woman stood up, the little girl, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old and standing quietly and well-behaved, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and wearing a peach-colored dark striped robe, but with a little grace and elegance in her dignity, also stood up and saluted Li Xi.

"Mrs. Yongcheng Wait, hurry up and excuse me." Li Xi stepped forward and gave Mrs. Yongcheng Hou a handful of gestures. When Mrs. Yongcheng Hou lowered her eyebrows and stood to the side, he turned back to Zhou Huiqi on the side and said, "Miss Zhou, please also excuse me." ”

Zhou Huiqi got up as she said, and still stood beside Mrs. Yongcheng Hou without raising her eyes.

Only then did Li Xi step forward to salute Empress Lu, "Erchen has seen the queen mother. ”

Empress Lu waved her hand to excuse him and asked, "If you don't go about your business, why are you running here with me?" ”

A warm smile bloomed on Li Xi's face, his eyes quickly teased his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, and he didn't dare to come out, his face was slightly crimson, and his eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, Zhou Huiqi glanced at him, and said softly: "Erchen knows that the queen mother has summoned Mrs. Yongcheng Hou to speak, so I came to salute Mrs. Yongcheng Hou." ”

After the words fell, he turned around and bowed slightly to Mrs. Yongcheng Hou on the side, "Xi'er has seen Mrs. Yongcheng Hou." ”

Mrs. Yongcheng Hou hurriedly waved her hand, "Your Highness is polite, isn't this a torture for the courtiers." ”

"Yulian, people say that a son-in-law is half a son, and he should give you a courtesy, you can just bear it with peace of mind." Empress Lu said with a smile.

Mrs. Yongcheng Hou's maiden name is Cui, and her maiden name is Yulian.

When he was young, he also had a handkerchief with Queen Lu. At this time, when she called Queen Lu's words, although her expression was still restrained, she was much more generous. She looked at Li Xi with a smile in her eyes, who was standing like a jade tree in the wind, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Xixia seems to be a lot taller!" ”

Li Xi is sixteen this year, and it is the time to grow his body, when he heard this, he said with a smile: "It is a little taller than last year, a few days ago, I turned over the clothes of the autumn of the year and came out to wear them, only to find that they were shorter again, and there was a big joke." ”

When the words fell, he glanced at the side intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced at Zhou Huiqi, who was listening to them with his ears pricked up.

Since Emperor Yongchang gave her marriage, Zhou Huiqi has sent in two clothes that she has sewn by herself every season. The shorter clothes that Li Xi said naturally referred to those from Zhou Huiqi's hands.

Zhou Huiqi, who was secretly looking at her, collided with Li Xi's eyes, and suddenly blushed and lowered her head, her hand tightly grasped the placket of her side, and her breathing became unnatural.

Only looked at the two of them quietly, Queen Lu shook her head with a smile.

"Yulian, don't listen to his nonsense, the Shangyi Bureau is making eight sets of new clothes in January, and there is no place for him to wear, but he is just selling a good job in front of you!" Empress Lu said with a smile.

When Yongcheng Hou's wife Cui Shi heard this, she said with a smile: "The Shangyi Bureau is the Shangyi Bureau, if Your Highness does not dislike it, the courtier's mansion has invited a group of embroidery girls from Jiangnan, and asked them to make two new clothes for His Highness and send them in." ”

"Then Xi'er thanked Madame!" Li Xi said and shook again.

Cui Shi turned sideways slightly and avoided it.

Lin Hong, who was outside, walked in at this time, "Niangniang, everyone has arrived, when do you see you coming?" ”

Empress Lu said to Cui's family: "Then let's go over now." ”

Cui Shi nodded, leaned sideways, and said softly, "Niangniang, please." ”

Empress Lu took Lin Hong's hand, stood up, took the lead to walk out, and halfway through, when she saw that Cui's was three steps behind her, she paused, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, Yulian, what are you doing avoiding me so far?" ”

Cui Shi smiled and took a slight step, but he was always half a step slower than Queen Lu.

Both of them seemed to have forgotten about Zhou Huiqi behind them.

Zhou Huiqi was about to pick up steps to follow, not wanting to tighten her sleeves, she looked back and crashed into a pair of dark eyes. With a red face, Zhou Huiqi quickly lowered his face, and asked in a voice like a gnat: "Your Highness, are you in trouble?" ”

"Sister Huiqi, I have something to say to you." Li Xi said softly.

When Zhou Huiqi heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Empress Lu and Cui's who had already walked away, and said, "Your Highness, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly, my mother and my mother are ......."

"It's okay, I'll send you the other way back." Li Xi interrupted Zhou Huiqi's words.

Zhou Huiqi stopped speaking when he heard this, but after glancing at Li Xi, he lowered his eyes again.

Li Xi gave a look to Gu Yong on one side.

Gu Yong immediately retreated quietly, and at the same time brought the other palace people in the main hall with him.

For a while, in the main hall, only Li Xi and Zhou Huiqi were left.

Li Xi put Zhou Huiqi's sleeve down, and after a little muttering, he asked softly: "When my sister entered the palace today, did Master Hou have anything to say?" ”

Zhou Huiqi was stunned when she heard this, but soon she raised her head to look at Li Xi and asked softly, "Your Highness means ......?"

Li Xi furrowed his brows.

There was a hint of displeasure in his expression.

"I asked Liao Bicheng to go to the house to meet the secret Hou Ye, and Hou Ye said at the time that he would let his sister bring in a message. What ......?"

Zhou Huiqi pursed his lips when he heard this, and said softly: "My father didn't let me bring a message to His Highness, but before I went out, my father told me to find a way to make friends with the Lord of Yongning. ”

Li Xi's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately relaxed.

even looked at Zhou Huiqi with a little joy, and said softly: "What does sister mean?" ”

Zhou Huiqi's heart was already cold when she faced Li Xi's undisguised joy, and when she heard Li Xi's question again at this moment, her heart was even more unsettled. For a while, she felt as if a snake was crawling on her back, which made her feel uncomfortable, and for a while, she felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle in her mouth, and she couldn't tell the taste.

"Sister ......"

Zhou Huiqi clenched the hand hanging by his side, looked up at Li Xi, and said softly: "What Your Highness means, is what I mean!" ”

Li Xi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

But soon, he came to his senses, and he whispered to the pair of clear eyes on Zhou Huiqi's palm-sized face: "Sister, don't worry, you and I are married and married, and you are irreplaceable in my heart." ”

Zhou Huiqi smiled.

Does she believe that?

She wanted to believe it, and she was willing to believe it, but it was ...... Suppressing the thoughts that grew like weeds in his heart, Zhou Huiqi nodded with a slight smile and said, "I have written down Your Highness's words." ”

Li Xi smiled, looked at the sky outside, and said, "It's not early, I'll send my sister to the table." ”

Zhou Huiqi nodded, took a step back slightly, and only after Li Xi walked in front did she follow, keeping a half-step distance as usual.

Li Xi took Zhou Huiqi on a path leading to the Imperial Garden, and on the quiet and secluded path, there was only the sound of her two gentle and shallow steps.

Most of Zhou Huiqi's eyes fell on Li Xi in front of him, and he only occasionally looked at the scenery around.

Just when the imperial garden was in the distance, Li Xi was about to signal the palace maid who followed behind them to step forward, a small chamberlain hurriedly ran over, Li Xi paused, and looked at the little chamberlain.

"Your Highness." The little chamberlain ran to Li Xi panting, didn't care about saluting, and said urgently: "Your Highness, Shicai is outside the palace gate, and the county lord of Yongning has a little unpleasantness with the concubine of the king of Rui's mansion and Mrs. Yao, the waiter of the household department. ”

Zhou Huiqi, who originally hung his head slightly, looked up at Li Xi at this time.

Li Xi gave her a soothing smile and said to the little chamberlain: "What kind of unpleasantness? ”

The little chamberlain told the story outside the palace gate, and at the end, he said softly: "Before Concubine Wang and Mrs. Yao entered the palace gate, they were taken to Jingqi Palace by Aunt Su Zhi, who was next to the imperial concubine. ”

Li Xi nodded, waved his hand to the little waiter, and said, "The palace knows, retreat." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

The little chamberlain retreated.

Zhou Huiqi looked up at Li Xi, "Your Highness......"

"Sister Huiqi," Li Xi looked at Zhou Huiqi with a smile and said softly, "Can you do my brother a favor?" ”

For a moment, Zhou Huiqi felt as if a needle had been pierced in her heart, and her throat felt as if she had been scraped by a knife, but she still smiled and said, "Okay! ”

"Doesn't my sister ask me what I want you to help me with?"

"What His Highness wants me to do, I am always willing to do." Zhou Huiqi blushed and said softly.

When Li Xi heard this, he looked at Zhou Huiqi deeply, and at the end, he said softly: "I know the person of Yuan Guifei best, and she will be repaid if she is a good person, and the county lord of Yongning has humiliated the main concubine and side concubine of Rui Wangfu in public, and she will definitely not let her go lightly." Can my sister help my brother take care of the county lord? ”

Zhou Huiqi smiled and nodded, "I will, brother rest assured." ”

Li Xi sighed for no reason at Zhou Huiqi's smiling face, and when he wanted to reach out and hug Zhou Huiqi, he found that the distance between the two people was too far, so he had to give up that idea.

"A few days ago, the palace broke into the assassins, and the lord of Yongning must have asked his sister about it." Li Xi said to Zhou Huiqi: "If she asks, my sister will tell her that the assassin has been captured and locked up in the secret room of the palace. ”

Yan Li's invasion of the palace is not clear to others, but Zhou Huiqi is very clear and clear!

She nodded, "I know." ”

Li Xi saw her so well-behaved and docile, and for a while he only felt that his heart was full of warmth.

He reached out and took Zhou Huiqi's hand, and said softly: "I know, you must be sad in your heart." But believe it or not, what I have done is only for the future of you and me. ”

Zhou Huiqi was silent for a moment, a strong smile bloomed on his face, and he said softly: "Your Highness is right, I am indeed sad in my heart, but you also said that this qiē is for you, me and the future." Such...... What should I be sad about? After a pause, Zhou Huiqi asked softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Highness, is the jade seal really in her hands?" ”

Li Xi nodded, "It's true." ”

The two whispered a few words again, seeing that there was a palace maid who couldn't stop looking over here, Li Xi knew that it was the palace maid sent by the queen to connect, so he immediately let go of Zhou Huiqi's hand and said softly: "Go, the queen mother is waiting for you over there." ”

Zhou Huiqi nodded, and the palace maid who came up from behind led her towards the imperial garden
