Shuqing Palace was full of tension, and all the palace maids and eunuchs stood in the courtyard together, including Xing'er. The crown prince had just left less than half an hour.

And the Queen Mother was sitting in a chair, and Su Chun Mama was waiting for the Queen Mother to build this nail. And Mama Gui Chun stood quietly aside, waiting for the Queen Mother's orders. Today, Liyue went to the worship room to deal with the affairs of the palace maids, and was not in Shuqing Palace.

"Gui Chun, ask everyone what their identity is." The Queen Mother said.

"Yes." Mama Gui Chun bowed down to receive the order.

"Where are the three maidservants who are responsible for serving the Queen Mother closely?" Mama Gui Chun's tone was very harsh.

"The slave is here." Sanxin replied in unison with half a step.

"The Queen Mother asked, do you know what your identity is?!"

I looked left and right, I didn't know why the Queen Mother had this question, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Say! What identity?! ”

Mama Gui Chun's sudden stern voice frightened Sanxin and quickly knelt down, and the others around her were also shocked. Three trembling hearts said; "Back to the Queen Mother, we are the slaves and maids beside the Queen Mother."

"Good. Get up. Mama Gui Chun spoke, "Who is the one who sprinkled the vestibule?" ”

Two eunuchs and two rough palace maids took a half step forward.

"Say! What are you? ”

"Return, return to the Queen Mother, we are the rough envoys and eunuchs of the Queen Mother Lafayette." The four replied with a shudder.

"Okay, let's go back."

In this way, Gui Chun's mother asked around, and there were more than thirty palace maids and eunuchs inside and out. Everyone replied that they were slaves or slaves. Finally arrived in front of Xing'er.

"Xing'er is the female official of the Queen Mother's companion......" Xing'er didn't know what to say, but she usually heard others call her that, so she said so.

"Okay."

Mama Gui Chun turned around and surrendered her hand to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother walked down the steps.

"Okay, very good, each of you knows your responsibilities and your own position in this palace, which is good, but recently, there are people who seem to have forgotten their identity. Calling the prince a brother and sister...... The boldness is getting bigger. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all at a loss, and they immediately turned their heads and ears.

"Who would be so bold?" "Who has the guts to do that?" "It's because I don't want to live anymore, and it affects us." ……

"Stop! Who's going to give you the go-to-ear?! Mama Gui Chun shouted loudly, and immediately the vestibule of Shuqing Palace was quiet.

"The mourning family ordered you to gather here today, just to let you know the high and low!" The Queen Mother paced and walked in front of Xing'er.

"Xing'er, are you guilty?!"

Yes?! It's unbelievable, such a young child, how can it be back? The entire Shuqing Palace treats Xing'er as a child, and Xing'er is a well-behaved little girl, usually with a sweet mouth, and Zhou Liang's goddaughter, and the most important thing is that Xiao Xing'er is deeply favored by the Queen Mother, saying that she is her? Everyone couldn't believe it.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xing'er doesn't know the crime."

"Think about it, what mistakes you have made, now the punishment for admitting mistakes is lighter, admitting mistakes for a while, it will be useless, and the crime will be increased!" The Queen Mother's expressionless face suddenly turned cloudy. "Mourning family ask again, Xing'er, are you guilty?"

Poof! Xing'er fell to her knees.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xing'er doesn't know." Xing'er's stubborn temper is very difficult.

"Xing'er, you must know that you were picked up halfway by the mourning family, there is no root and no foundation, no one can save you, no one can help you!"

Xing'er knelt and didn't say a word. Okay, this is a bar with the mourning family, the Queen Mother thought to herself.

"Gui Chun!"

"Yes."

"Just punish her to kneel in the courtyard, and don't think about it if she doesn't know her mistake or admit it! Don't eat dinner either! ”

"The old slave obeys."

After speaking, the Queen Mother turned around and was supported by Xiuxin and entered the main hall.

"It's all gone, what should you do!"

Qiaoxin looked at Xiao Xing'er who was kneeling on the ground and felt distressed for a while, and wanted to step forward to say something to plead, but with a stern look from Gui Chun's mother, Qiaoxin shrank back. Qiaoxin really couldn't bear such a young child to be subjected to such corporal punishment, but there was nothing she could do about it, she could only watch.

"Sister Qiaoxin, let's go back, we still have something to do."

Juan Xin pulled the corner of her clothes. The ingenuity has not moved, and the heart is pulled again. I only heard the voice of the Queen Mother coming out of the inside, calling Qiaoxin's name, and Qiaoxin and Juan Xin entered the main hall.

"Qiaoxin, the mourning family knows that you are the best to her, but today, put away your kindness!"

"Yes!"

"Go, bring me the rouge paste that Nanyuguo entered the palace in the next year."

"Yes!"

After a while, Qiaoxin took the rouge paste that the Queen Mother wanted, and the Queen Mother repeatedly smeared it on the rice paper, trying the color of the rouge and the degree of uniformity, and didn't care about them, but no one dared to speak on the side of Sanxin. Sanxin is only Qiaoxin who is really worried about Xing'er, helpless, and people are soft-spoken.

Xing'er knelt in the courtyard, the sun gradually slanted to the west, and in the spring, the sunlight was already shorter, and soon the sky darkened. When it was warm and cold, a cool breeze blew, not to mention the biting, it was also the coldness of the heart. Xing'er was blown by the wind, but he still knelt and didn't say a word.

A little later after dinner, the eunuch Sanbao came back from a business, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he didn't walk a few steps, and was almost tripped by Xiao Xing'er who was kneeling on the ground.

Sanbao thought about it, this was the prince's mistake, what did he do with a little girl? If you want to punish it, you will also punish the people around the prince. Besides, this girl is the most favored by the Queen Mother on weekdays, isn't it a taboo? But it's not so severe, is it? How old is this child?

Sanbao thought, and hurriedly went into the main hall to return to the Queen Mother, and came out after a while. This son rushed to Jikang Palace to see the prince, and returned the affairs of Xiangyue Nunnery and the results of the diagnosis of the imperial doctor to the prince, and after returning, the prince signaled that he could go back, Sanbao hesitated slightly, walked to the door, and turned his head to look at the prince.

The prince saw that the Three Treasures seemed to have something to say, so he called him back.

"Sambo, what else is wrong with you?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... The slave has a thing, not a ...... that should be talked about or not. ”

"As long as it has nothing to do with the government, it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" The prince sat up straight.

"That's the case, just now the slave went back to Shuqing Palace to restore the queen mother's life, and almost tripped over it inadvertently, and at a glance, I knew that it was the queen mother's companion who was kneeling ......."

"What? You say Xing'er is kneeling? The prince put down his pen and stood up.

"Yes......" Sambo whispered.

"And do you know the reason for kneeling?" The prince was a little anxious and had already walked off the bookcase.

"This minion isn't sure...... I just listened to the rough eunuch who sprinkled the sweep and said that he was talking about what he called the prince a brother and sister......"

"Calling the prince a brother and sister?" The prince was also surprised.

"Yes, but the minions have heard of it too...... I can't be 100% sure...... "Sam Bao replied cautiously, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you have nothing to do, the slave will retire first." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go."

San Bao turned around and quickly left the East Palace. The prince was left alone to pac around in front of the bookcase.

"Calling brothers and sisters? ......" Suddenly, the prince remembered a slip of the tongue when he went to ask for peace in the afternoon. "Could it be that I hurt her? Ah! Damn it! She's still that young. ”

Thinking of this, the prince's right hand clenched his fist into his left palm.

"Xiao Anzi, take my big open and go out with me."

Xiao Anzi immediately waited for the prince to put on his cloak, followed closely behind, and left the Jikang Palace.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's already dark this day, where are we going to get out?"

"Go to Shuqing Palace and save an innocent child." The prince hurried forward.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, wait a minute." Xiao Anzi hurriedly grabbed the prince.

"Oops! It's important to save people! ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not appropriate for you to go here! That's not right! "Xiao Anzi, finally stopped the prince.

"What's wrong?" The prince stopped.

"Think about it, why was Miss Xing'er punished for kneeling? It's because of your slip of the tongue, it stands to reason that the Queen Mother should punish you, why is it a little girl who is punished, in fact, it is a truth that the slave is punished for you, the little girl is stubborn and refuses to admit her mistake, maybe she is in and out of the palace, she doesn't understand or don't know what the slave is punished for the master, if you go to plead, it is clearly a slap in the face of the Queen Mother, isn't it even more inflammatory? Will this little girl be able to have a good child in the future? "Although Xiao Anzi is a minion, this call is clear

The prince stopped and thought about what Xiao Anzi said, it was very true. I ran out of ideas for a while.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the slave said something that shouldn't be said."

"You say."

"I don't know what your mood is for the little girl, but this afternoon, you looked at her and smiled a little stunned, presumably the queen mother also saw it, maybe this is the reason why Xing'er's girl was punished."

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Anzi immediately fell to his knees.

"Get up! I just look at her cute and cute, and His Royal Highness doesn't have a sister, so I just look at her as a sister. ”

"But if you think so, others may not think so."

"That's what you're talking about. So what can I do? I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. ”

"Just now, the slave saw that the virtuous concubine went to Ningxintai, and I thought it was to see the fifth prince and the seventh prince, and it shouldn't have left at this time, why don't you go and ask the virtuous concubine?" Xiao Anzi approached the prince.

"Virtuous Concubine...... But can a virtuous concubine take care of a little female official? The prince raised his eyes to look at Xiao Anzi.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you forgotten? When the first queen was still there, she often befriended the virtuous concubine who was still virtuous at that time. The first queen and she are both the foundation of Guan Long, and so is the queen mother, and when it comes to speaking, there should be some weight. ”

"Virtuous Princess? Virtuous Princess...... It's okay, I want to think of the virtuous mother, Su Rili has always been kind, and the palace is good, it turns out that I have a good relationship with my mother, and I beg her to ask for our suspicion, and it is more convenient to talk. The prince was just about to leave, and then he thought of something, "But, the virtuous mother and concubine are attached to the queen, can you excuse a little girl?" I'm afraid? ……”

"This slave thinks that it can be so much, the slave has seen the Lianxin girl lead the girl from Xing'er to play in the Haohua Palace, I think it is a little decent."

After listening to Xiao Anzi, the prince considered it again.

"Good! Then I'll go and ask for the virtuous concubine! ”

After speaking, the prince turned around and went straight to Ning Xintai.
