When Tao Xiaobei took Hua Chen to the East Palace, Xue Hanmu was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly welcomed people into the hall and said a lot of good things to Tao Xiaobei.

The expression on Tao Xiaobei's face was always light, neither happy nor dissatisfied, and after the prince said for a while, he seemed to be unable to listen to it anymore, his brows frowned slightly, and reminded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still hurry up and take the criminals into the palace to tell the emperor, as for the affairs of the grass people, we will discuss it again after His Royal Highness the Prince has dealt with the matter." ”

"Yes, yes, or Xiao Bei is right. Xue Hanmu greeted Tao Xiaobei, and took the opportunity to enter the palace with his words.

Zhao Heqian lives in the backyard, and she also knows that Xue Hanmu has been busy with Hua Chen's affairs for the past two days, and she is even more cold.

The housekeeper just came to deliver something to her, and she casually asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what he was doing, and the housekeeper told her that Xue Hanmu was discussing things with Tao Xiaobei.

She knew that Tao Xiaobei and Yan Nanwan had a lot of relationship, and in recent days, she wanted to hear more news about Yan Nanwan, so she wanted to try her luck in front of her, see if she could meet Tao Xiaobei, talk to him, and inquire about some news of Yan Nanwan.

As soon as Xue Hanmu left the East Palace with people on his front foot, Zhao Heqian appeared in the front yard hall with his back foot.

The housekeeper looked at Zhao Heqian, who suddenly appeared, and was a little unsure of what she meant for a while, so he stepped forward and asked, "Princess, do you have something?"

Zhao Heqian smiled decently: It's nothing. I just heard you say that Tao Gongzi is here, and this palace and Tao Gongzi are old acquaintances, so let's talk about the past. ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously very good to the Crown Princess, he guards against the Crown Princess everywhere, and specially instructs them not to discuss anything in front of the Crown Princess.

Tao Xiaobei sat in the hall, watched Zhao Heqian come in, got up, took a few steps, and bowed: "The grass people have seen the crown princess." ”

Zhao Heqian was stunned, he didn't expect Tao Xiaobei to become so polite, and then smiled slightly: "Tao Gongzi, please get up." ”

Zhao Heqian was followed by two maids, and the housekeeper was also standing on the side waiting.

Tao Xiaobei looked at this posture and smiled vaguely.

"You all go down, talk to Tao Gongzi in this palace and reminisce about the past. Zhao Heqian said.

The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Princess, before leaving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the old slave to entertain Tao Gongzi well." ”

Zhao Heqian nodded: "Since it is a distinguished guest of His Royal Highness the Prince, the palace will naturally entertain you well, so you all go and get busy!"

"This ......" The housekeeper was in trouble for a while, he didn't know what to do, he looked at Tao Xiaobei, who was cold and cold on the side, and finally nodded.

After the housekeeper went out, the two maids who followed Zhao Heqian were still standing, and Zhao Heqian said gently: "You guys also go down." ”

The two maids glanced at each other, and then saw that the butler had also gone out, so they saluted and went out.

Zhao Heqian and Tao Xiaobei were left in the room, Zhao Heqian smiled bitterly and said, "Let you see the joke." ”

Tao Xiaobei glanced at her: "I pushed you to the fire pit of the East Palace at the beginning. ”

Zhao Heqian smiled, there was no blame on her face, she was all resigned to her fate: "Even if I don't have you, I will marry the prince sooner or later." In the past, he was ignorant and did not understand the art of checks and balances in the government. I have been married to the East Palace for more than a year, and I have been with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have some understanding. ”

"You've changed. ”

"You've changed. Zhao Heqian looked at Tao Xiaobei and said with a smile, "In the past, Tao Xiaobei was arrogant and never put power in his eyes. ”

"What about now?" Tao Xiaobei picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

Zhao Heqian smiled: "Now you are more attractive to women." ”

Tao Xiaobei's hand holding the teacup froze, and he smiled sarcastically: "The crown princess praised it falsely." ”

"I want to ask for news from Lord Yan. Zhao Heqian opened his mouth suddenly.

Tao Xiaobei stared at her, and after a while, he said: "The grass people are not familiar with Lord Yan, and the princess is afraid that she has asked the wrong person." ”

Zhao Heqian did not hide her current situation at all: "Xiao Bei, for the sake of the past feelings, I bother you to help me bring a message to Lord Yan, saying that I want to see her, and I implore her to come to the East Palace, I have something I want to say to her." ”

"Doesn't the crown princess know that His Royal Highness the crown prince is at odds with the Seventh Prince now?"

Zhao Heqian nodded: "I know, but this is my next chance, I want to fight for the rest of my life." ”

Tao Xiaobei's eyes were soaked with a little relief, nodded, and said: "I will help you bring the words, as for whether she comes or not, it's not something I can say." ”

Zhao Heqian thanked gratefully and went out of the house.

She couldn't say more to Tao Xiaobei, after a long time, it aroused Xue Hanmu's suspicions, and she was afraid that the rest of her life would be even worse than now.

Tao Xiaobei looked at the back of Zhao Heqian Shi Ran walking out, and sighed in his heart.

She could finally know how to resist.

The reason why he didn't like her at the beginning was because of her temperament, which was too soft.

And because he has been well protected by King Zhao since he was a child, he has never seen anyone sinister, and it looks too simple.

And Hua Chen is different, he was born in a deceitful mansion since he was a child, and he has to be careful everywhere.

In such an environment, Hua Chen's eccentric, smart and ruthless temperament has been created.

He likes women who know how to fight for themselves.

Later, when he met Yan Nanwan, he didn't look down on Yan Nanwan at first, thinking that she, like all the ladies, was a delicate beauty raised in a deep boudoir.

It wasn't until he got to know the man better and better that he realized he was wrong.

He even wondered if he liked Hua Chen because he had seen too few women.

I never knew that a woman could combine the gentleness and decency of her daughter's home with the arrogance and uninhibition of a man so comfortably.

"Tao Gongzi. The butler walked in, "What did the crown princess say to you?"

Tao Xiaobei retracted his thoughts, looked at the housekeeper in front of him, and asked, "What does the housekeeper mean by this?"

The housekeeper realized the faux pas and hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand Gongzi Tao, the old slave is just afraid that the princess will say something that shouldn't be said and make Gongzi Tao unhappy." ”

The butler was wrong. I'm just a grass farmer, and I won't be unhappy about whatever the princess says. ”

"Yes, yes, it was the old slave who said the wrong thing. ”

At this time, after Zhao Heqian returned to the dormitory where she lived, the two maids also began to ask Zhao Heqian on the side.

What did the crown princess say to Tao Gongzi, and the princess's face was much better. A maid said.

Zhao Heqian smiled slightly: "Tao Gongzi and I are old acquaintances, reminiscing about the past, remembering some things in the past, and feeling a lot better." ”

Another maid said: "So that's the case, the slaves and maids thought that Tao Gongzi and the princess had said something outside." ”

"Tao Gongzi has always been a person who doesn't care about things, how can he tell me about things outside. ”
