Su Jiao touched her forehead, wiped away the sticky cold sweat and sighed, and suddenly heard the voice of someone talking behind the corner.

"Aunt Magpie, my mother said that walking this circle is really sunny, and I specially asked the slave to send an umbrella."

The magpie should not have him, and took the umbrella from Wutong's hand, and because of her duty, she still did not stop her steps. "Thank you for your grace when you go back for me, and the slave will go to thank you in a while."

Wutong pursed his mouth, but saw that the magpie didn't mean to say more to himself, for fear that he would be discovered, Ren Shiqi broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and hurried to talk to him.

"Auntie has worked hard, the slave wants to ask, is there really any flower here that will affect the mother's fetus? But isn't there a single one blooming at this time? ”

"You little girls naturally don't know that it's not just the branches and leaves that don't bloom, sometimes it's harmful to the mother's body." The magpie stood up for Sycamore's words, and vaguely felt that she was a little annoying.

"So that's the case, in the end, my aunt is well-informed in the palace, so the slave maid has to learn from my aunt today." Wutong was flustered by the magpie's eyes, and hurriedly put on a well-behaved and curious appearance, so that the magpie had nowhere to go.

The magpie turned around, already with a little impatience on his face, "Whatever you want." ”

"It's the queen's side!" Su Jiao covered her mouth and overheard the conversation between the two of them, which frightened her heart and jumped fast.

But right now, it was around the third prince's bedroom, and there was nowhere to hide, Su Jiao was almost so anxious that she stomped her feet, so she simply didn't care about anything, lifted her skirt and quickly ran behind the flower bed in front of her.

However, even though the shrubs in the corner of the flower bed were enough to cover Su Jiao's figure, her slender skirt was still blown up by the wind, allowing the magpies who came over to see it squarely.

"What's that?" The magpie was taken aback, almost thinking that he had seen it wrong, but Wutong hurriedly explained beside him, "Maybe it's just a lazy little palace maid, aunt doesn't have to take it to heart, the next time the slave maid sees her, she will teach her a lesson." ”

"No," the magpie waved his hand, ignoring Wutong's words, and returned the oil-paper umbrella to her with his backhand, "Most of the little princesses in the prince's dormitory wear green skirts, how can it be this pink skirt, isn't it someone who wants to come and steal something." ”

"How could it be—" Sycamore's face froze, and he reached out to pull the magpie back, but the magpie chased him away one step ahead.

Wutong had no choice, so he could only follow, only hoping that Su Jiao could find a hiding place as soon as possible.

On the other side, Su Jiao thought that she had been hiding quickly, but she didn't expect to find out the whereabouts of the magpie.

She turned around a row of houses, barely able to breathe, and heard the footsteps behind her getting closer and closer to her, she gritted her teeth, and simply pushed open a nearby door and hid in.

However, this row of houses looked ordinary, and Su Jiao thought it was the residence of the people in the palace, but she didn't want it to be full of drawings and books.

A man with a fairly good appearance sat at the desk and swiped his pen, and suddenly saw Su Jiao come in, and the two of them immediately looked at each other, and both sides were stunned for a moment.

The map in the man's hand looks a little familiar, a bit like a layout map, but why are there labels on both sides?

Su Jiao came back to her senses, regardless of the situation on this map for the time being, and made a silent gesture to him first, "Don't make a noise first, I'm not a bad person, so I'll borrow you to hide here." ”

The man blinked his eyes and agreed, and Su Jiao swept around, hiding behind several scrolls hanging on hangers before the magpie pushed the door in, just to cover his figure.

The magpie then caught up and pushed the door open, but when he saw the man, he suddenly reined in his momentum, "I never thought that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness was here, and the slave maid disturbed." ”

This is the Five Princes?! Su Jiao, who was hiding, said in her heart.

"It's okay, you're the one next to the queen mother, I don't know what happened when you came over?" The fifth prince took his eyes back from the magpie and sorted out the drawings drawn on the table by himself.

"There is the third prince of Lao, the slave maid just discovered a suspicious person, dare to ask the third prince if he has ever seen a sneaky person in a pink skirt." The magpie lowered her head, but fortunately Sycamore was a slower runner, and stood outside watching her.

"Your Highness has been here all this time, and I haven't seen anyone, but you were the first to break in, is there anything else?" The five princes put the drawings aside neatly, but the clean and tidy desk and the messy room looked out of place.

"This ......" The magpie was still a little hesitant, but the room was too chaotic, and it was really not easy to see that the mountain of drawings was really hiding a few people.

And more importantly, if the fifth prince wants to protect someone, she can't say anything as a subordinate.

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." The magpie was helpless, so he was forced to come out and call the sycamore to return together.

The fifth prince Xu Ruzhu, the only person mentioned in the original book who can compete with Xu Rulie and compete for the throne, is the son of Emperor Daze's favorite concubine Xianfei.

According to what she had just heard, Su Jiao instantly sorted out the relevant information in her mind, and heard Xu Ruzhu's voice outside.

"The girl who suddenly broke in, the pursuers have already left, haven't you come out yet?"

Hearing this, Su Jiao walked out from behind the hanger with a smile and saluted him politely, "It turned out to be the fifth prince, I was offended a lot, thank you for covering it up for me." ”

There may be some preconceived notions, Xu Rulie's annoying deep-rooted popularity, which makes Su Jiao feel that the five princes, who are his opponents, look more amiable.

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, but I don't know which adult's young lady the girl is, and His Royal Highness seems to have never seen you." Xu Ruzhu waved his hand, and stretched out his hand to let Su Jiao sit on the chair opposite him.

Su Jiao picked up the waste paper on the chair and put it aside with a little disgust, and at the same time was very puzzled in her heart, "If you go back to Your Highness, I am the daughter of Su Zhongshi, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and I have married Xiao Huai'an as my wife as a month ago to supervise the imperial history. ”

"Oh, it turns out that the person who asked to cancel the marriage contract with my third emperor brother was you." Upon hearing this, the fifth prince did not rush to answer Su Jiao's question, but showed a very surprised look.

Looking at this reaction, it is true that he will not deal with Xu Rulie. Su Jiao was overjoyed, and almost wanted to bring this fifth prince into the same camp as herself.

"His Royal Highness had official business before, and he needed to be inspected by the border land, and he only came back in the last few days, but he didn't expect to miss this lot of excitement. Mrs. Xiao can really be called a heroine among women. ”

Xu Ruzhu's eyes were full of brilliance, and it was really difficult to judge whether he was appreciative or sarcastic just by looking at these words.

"Well, thank you for the praise of the five princes, it's just that it's not too early at this time, and I should leave the palace, so I won't disturb the five princes to draw." Su Jiao smiled reluctantly, and was about to stand up as she spoke, but in the last few words, she saw that Xu Ruzhu's face changed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal.

"It's okay, seeing that Mrs. Xiao came here by mistake, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to find the location of Lord Xiao, so His Royal Highness will give you a ride, which can be regarded as going out to relax?"

I feel like I'm not bad, but I think I'm lost. Su Jiao blinked, nodded unconsciously, and let him go. "In this case, there will be the five princes of Lao."

On the other side, Su Jiao did not show up at the originally agreed time, and Xiao Huai'an couldn't help but feel a little anxious, for fear that she would get lost in this huge palace and be accused of something.

Fortunately, there was nothing important in his hands, Xiao Huai'an ordered the forbidden army in the palace to patrol around, and he quietly rushed to the southeast.

Unexpectedly, just after getting out of the separated palace wall, Xiao Huai'an saw Su Jiao and Xu Ruzhu coming here talking and laughing.

"I never thought that there were so many interesting things in the border land, if I had the chance, I really wanted to go and see the Wa country that the five princes said." Su Jiao covered her mouth and smiled, and then heard Xiao Huai'an's voice.

"Jiao'er, why did you come to this place, since you know that you are not good at knowing the way, you should wait for me here." Before Xiao Huai'an came in the morning, he first affectionately pulled Su Jiao to his side, and then bowed his hand to Xu Ruzhu.

"Congratulations to welcome the five princes back to the palace, the five princes have been tired of traveling and driving, and they have to send my wife out, this official is deeply grateful."

Xu Ruzhu put one hand behind his back, looking about the same age as Su Jiao, but he behaved old-fashioned. "It's okay, His Royal Highness and Mrs. Xiao are also confidants at first sight, and talking with Mrs. Xiao has benefited a lot during this time."

"Your Highness has won the award, but I didn't say anything." People who can talk are always easy to make people feel happy, Su Jiao couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Xiao Huai'an with her eyes again.

"Having said that, after all, it is unreasonable, the official will find his wife back, how dare he work for the five princes." Xiao Huai'an didn't look away, but he didn't pay attention to Su Jiao's eyes, and his attitude towards Xu Ruzhu didn't seem to be very polite.

"Alas, people are also a polite prince, so you should pay a little attention." Su Jiao noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense at the moment, but she didn't realize why, so she just hurriedly pulled Xiao Huai'an's sleeve and reminded in a low voice.

Xiao Huai'an was full of helplessness, but Xu Ruzhu on the other side seemed to be a lot proud, "Lord Xiao doesn't have to be so careful, a woman like Mrs. Xiao is rare in the world, and the palace really appreciates it very much, so naturally he won't treat Mrs. well, why should Lord Xiao be so careful?" ”

When the words landed, Xiao Huai'an's eyes instantly narrowed slightly, but he soon recovered and pulled Su Jiao to give instructions.

"You go back to the house first, I still have something to discuss with the five princes, so you don't have to wait for me. The food box you brought is also placed under the porch over there, remember to retrieve it. ”
