Seeing that Concubine Yuan was walking towards the stone bridge with a group of people, Mu Lan said anxiously:

"Princess, shall we find a place to hide?"

"No, I guess, it's just my mother." The princess stared intently at the crowd.

Concubine Yuan didn't want Chao Meiren's life, she just expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Shengshang's assignment of the Mingyi Palace, which was closest to her bedroom, to Chao Meiren.

Hearing the sound of talking, the pothos squatting by the ditch jumped down with a "poof".

The canal is three feet wide, because the bottom of the canal is full of silt, and if it does not sink, the depth of the water is less than one person's height. Xuan'er took a closer look, the pothos was not life-threatening, she just hit the water and called "help".

Li Xuan'er's fists were clenched tightly, distinguishing her mother's figure.

Sure enough, Zhao Heyi ran over and said something, Chao Meiren screamed and ran towards the canal, followed by Zhao Heyi and the two little eunuchs.

Just when Zhao Heyi was about to help Chao Meiren squeeze through the flower wall, Li Xuan'er rushed to the bridge, waved to her mother again and again, and shouted:

"Mother! There's a palace maid overboard! Call someone to save her! ”

When Chao Meiren saw Xuan'er on the bridge, she was obviously taken aback, said a few words to the eunuch behind, turned around and ran towards the bridge, and said anxiously:

"Xuan'er, are you alright? When my mother heard that it was a woman wearing a blue skirt who fell, she thought it was you......"

"I was wandering around, and I heard someone calling and came over to take a look, and I just saw you running over." Li Xuan'er helped her mother and walked towards the palace maid who rescued her from the shore.

"Why was you so careless? Can you pick a flower and fall into the water? How not to drown you? Get back in here......"

Zhao Heyi didn't expect that the princess would suddenly appear, and he only hated that he hadn't had time to push Chao Meiren down. I had to pick up the pothos first, and then scolded and got angry.

The green pothos lowered her head and held her chest, covering her body as much as possible with her arms, and her body was unobstructed after being wet, and when she heard Zhao Gonggong's scolding, she was about to go to the palace, but the princess stopped her:

"Wait."

Li Xuan'er turned around and took the cloak from Mu Lan's arm, and went over to put it on the pothos in person.

Only then did Mu Lan know that before going out, the princess asked her to bring a cloak, which turned out to be of this use. Princess...... It's too expected, isn't it?

I only heard the princess ask casually: "Are you the palace maid in the Chang'an Palace?" ”

"Yes......"

"It's not!" Zhao Heyi saw the princess ask like this, and was about to deny it for her, but the pothos had already answered.

"You said no, but she said yes?" Li Xuan'er stared at Zhao Heyi with a smile: "Doesn't she know which palace she belongs to?" ”

Zhao Heyi didn't care, he didn't take a princess in his eyes at all:

"Before, soon, she wasn't. This is a family matter in the palace of the concubine, and the slave advises the princess to be nosy. ”

Li Xuan'er saw that Concubine Yuan had already come over with everyone, so she raised her voice and said:

"I'm going to take care of this idle matter! Let me ask you, the maidservants in the Chang'an Palace, all wear pink this season, why do you violate the palace rules and wear cyan that cannot be identified? Is it to impersonate someone and do shady things? ”

"Nope! Slaves don't! ”

Green pothos hurriedly denied it, but she couldn't say the reason for wearing cyan.

Zhao Heyi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It must be that this maid is not honest and stole someone's clothes, so he is afraid of being discovered, so he hides here." Come! Drag it down and kill me! ”

"Bold!"

Li Xuan'er slapped her backhand in the face of Gonggong Zhao, and scolded angrily: "My concubines are here, the harem of the Heavenly Empire, you can't live and die as a castration!" ”

The princess's slap frightened everyone: is this really the gentle and elegant princess of Chenghuan Palace, who doesn't care about idle things? It's like a different person......

I saw her turn to Concubine Yuan, and said:

"Mother Yuan, my father rules the world with benevolence and virtue, and you assist the Queen Mother in managing the Six Palaces, and you will not find any abnormalities, and you will not check them. If she is guilty, it is not too late to kill; If she had been innocent and had worn the wrong garment, she would not have sinned unto death. ”

Concubine Yuan's heart is like a tempeh boiled mash, it's really not a taste:

I thought it was a trivial matter to tease Chao Meiren, but I didn't expect to kill a Li Xuan'er halfway, and now I want to investigate, won't I find myself?

Although Zhao Heyi is a guy who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, but at this time, how can he make Concubine Yuan unable to step down?

He hurriedly stepped forward with a shy face, pulled the cloak attached to his body for the green pothos, and said with a smile: "The slave is also angry and said this, you see, with the princess and your cloak to protect it, how can you be killed?" ”

Li Xuan'er couldn't help but say, stepped forward and slapped again, scolding:

"Dead dog slave! The clothes of my dignified princess of the Heavenly Dynasty, how can you touch them as a cheap slave? Doesn't it make me shameless? ”

She clearly saw that although Zhao Heyi was kneeling on the ground, he quietly clenched his fists, and couldn't help sneering secretly in her heart.

Concubine Yuan's face turned white and red, red and white, and her heart turned even more upside down:

I was blind, and I didn't see that Princess Celestia was still a. Didn't the person you beat me also make me faceless? Chao Meiren is a soft persimmon, but giving birth to a daughter has become a dominatrix.

But after all, she is the eldest princess, and she is the most favored daughter of the saint. These two slaps came down, not to mention the slaves and maids around them, and even a few ladies and talented people, their faces were beaten green.

Even Concubine Yuan has no face, who will dare to provoke her in the future? Don't talk about her, even her mother can't be messed with.

"Zhao Heyi, you dare to rush into the eldest princess and punish you to feed the horses in the royal horse room for half a month. Pothos, next time you make a mistake, you will be punished together. ”

After Concubine Yuan finished speaking, she saw that everyone was embarrassed and embarrassed, so she said: "I see that all the sisters are tired, it is better to disperse and go back to the palace to rest." ”

Everyone dispersed, and Xuan'er slowly walked towards the Mingyi Hall with her mother in her arms.

The two were silent for a moment, Chao Meiren picked up Xuan'er's slapping hand, touched it gently, and asked her:

"Does it hurt?"

Xuan'er shook her head, only smiling at her mother.

"I've never seen you get so angry...... I know, you hate them for deliberately tricking me to the ditch, is he trying to take the opportunity to push me down? This canal can't drown people, so why bother......"

Chao Meiren sighed, patted the back of Xuan'er's hand and said:

"The royal family of the Celestial Empire, starting from your ancestors, did not set up a queen, saying that he didn't want the queen to care about him close to the concubines, but in fact, he didn't want any more women to come out and seize power like Empress Wu and Empress Wei.

The women in the harem did not have a high status after giving birth to a son, only the Zhao family, who had no heirs, which raised the concubine position. Can she be willing? It's not a big deal to find us some trouble every once in a while, and it's over with patience. ”

Li Xuan'er knew that her mother was worried that she would get into trouble, so she replied softly: "My daughter knows." ”

She knew better than her mother that today's small incident was not enough to put Zhao Heyi to death, but she had succeeded in provoking him.

As long as a person is angry, then he has an Achilles' heel.

She remembered that it wouldn't be long before Liu Jieyu would be sent to the cold palace for violating the palace rules, and Concubine Yuan would take the opportunity to adopt Jieyu's six-year-old son, King Zhao Li Wei, under her knees.

Li Xuan'er didn't know the reason in her previous life, and after she got married, she didn't care why Liu Jieyu died quietly in the cold palace.

This time, she wants to find the truth after the fact, and she firmly believes that this must be related to the Chang'an Palace.

She not only wants to kill Zhao Heyi, but more importantly:

Jiulang Li Wei should be Brother A's best helper in the future, rather than coveting his throne.
