This night, Xia Jinse didn't sleep very steadily.

After all, it's the first time I've stayed in the palace, and I'm not used to it. The accommodation arranged for her by Gonggong Lu is the side hall next door to Zichen Palace, although it is not as good as Emperor Yuanqing's bedroom, but it is far beyond the room of Xiangfu.

There is only a big bed in the whole side hall, fortunately it is covered with a curtain, and there are two gilded palace lamps with cranes in the corner of the main hall, an agate screen partition, and the rest is a few small ones, vases and other furnishings, and there is nothing else.

It's cold even in the middle of summer...... It's open, spacious, ventilated, and surrounded by ice basins. The curtains swayed at night, like the white long sleeves of a female ghost...... Xia Jinse tossed and turned all night, always thinking of those palace secrets.

What dead concubines cry in the middle of the night, babies cry, black cats, etc., she always feels that something will suddenly come out. Fortunately, remembering that Chasing Cloud was next door, she rolled in bed for a long time, and it was easy to fall asleep until almost dawn.

When he woke up on the second day, Xia Jinse had two panda eyes on his head and vowed that he would never want to stay in the palace again.

She asked Gonggong Lu, but Emperor Yuanqing didn't explain anything, and hurried out of the palace with Chasing Yun after breakfast.

When Emperor Yuanqing went down to the court and returned to Zichen Palace, he saw Lan Beichen standing at the door.

"Hey, Lao Jiu, why are you here?" Emperor Yuanqing said as he walked in.

He just stretched his waist and wanted to change into his regular clothes, when he suddenly turned his head, he saw that Lan Beichen's expression was wrong, and he stared at him with half-squinted eyes, his eyes were cold, like steel needles.

"Why Lao Jiu, your eyes ...... Weird, huh? "Emperor Yuanqing felt that something was wrong.

He, the ninth brother, usually does things neatly, but he speaks coldly, and sometimes he looks weak. Especially when he did something wrong and was lazy, Lan Beichen was even more outspoken in private, and his words were sharp, and he sometimes couldn't lift his head when he said it.

Emperor Yuanqing occasionally wondered, who was the emperor and who were the courtiers?

"I heard that last night, the emperor and her put off sky lanterns?" Lan Beichen said lightly.

She? Oh, what a girl!

It turned out to be this, Emperor Yuanqing was relieved, and said with a smile: "Yes, I was upset yesterday and summoned that girl into the palace, so she gave me an idea, got a lot of sky lanterns to put on, and taught me to write poems on the sky lanterns." ”

Speaking of last night, he also had a feeling of having fun, as if he was a few years younger. Thinking that Concubine Ming must have seen those sky lanterns, as well as the poems on the sky lanterns, maybe she understood his intentions, and his heart became excited.

"What is the water, the pulse is silent...... The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. Also, the girl also wrote a sentence, called 'This love can be recalled, but it was already lost at the time', which is really wonderful! ”

"So, on a whim, the emperor let her stay in the palace, and still live next door to Zichen Palace?" Hearing these sentences that resembled love poems, Lan Beichen's face darkened even more.

"yes, if it weren't for the fact that it was late, I would still want to ...... with her."

Suddenly, a figure approached quickly, and a cold tone sounded: "What else does the emperor want?" What else do you want!! I still want her to be young and just waiting to get married, so the emperor is moved, and wants to take her by his side as a flower of interpretation, and finally make a concubine, right? ”

Lan Beichen said coldly: "Your Majesty, are you robbing women with this king?!" ”

Like a thunderbolt, Emperor Yuanqing was stunned, looking at Lan Beichen with a blue face, and couldn't speak: Lao, Laojiu, you, you misunderstood, how could I ...... with you?"

"Then what does the emperor mean?"

Lan Beichen took another step closer, looked directly at Emperor Yuanqing's face, and said aggressively, "This king has already shown it so obviously, the emperor still doesn't know that Xia Jinse is the person of this king?" The emperor let Xia Jinse stay in the palace in the middle of the night, just to rob people with this king! What does the emperor mean, ignoring brotherly love? ”

Grandpa Lu's heart was about to jump out when he heard it, what earth-shattering secrets he heard!

The 10,000-year-old iceberg cold prince actually said that the eldest lady of the Xia family was his woman, and she was still jealous of the emperor? If it spreads, I'm afraid that everyone's jaws will drop!

No wonder, last time he secretly saw the Ninth Prince and Miss Xia pulling and pulling in private, and saying something ambiguous, it turned out that they had already had a leg...... No, it's already a sign of it! He was actually blind, and he didn't suspect it later, but he was afraid that he would miss a lot of good shows!

Emperor Yuanqing was directly frightened by Lan Beichen's momentum, he, the ninth brother who had never been interested in women, actually ......

I actually like Xia Jinse!?

"You, you mean, Xia Jinse is your woman? Don't you all ......?"

"So what?" Lan Beichen asked with a cold face.

Emperor Yuanqing suddenly rejoiced, slapped his thigh and said happily: "That's great!" Hahahaha, ninth brother, you finally have a woman you like, for so many years, I have always thought that you like men......"

The words stopped abruptly, he looked embarrassed, and then laughed again, "Okay, great, now that the Queen Mother knows, she finally won't worry about your marriage, I'm very happy!" ”

He stared at Lan Beichen and couldn't close his mouth with a smile, rubbed his hands and said, "Ninth brother, last night's incident, even if the imperial brother didn't think it through, I can't compensate you." Since you like Xia Jinse's girl, do you want the imperial brother to marry you? ”

As soon as the words fell, Lan Beichen took out something from his sleeve pocket, handed it over and said, "I'm ready, just stamp the seal of the imperial brother!" ”

Emperor Yuanqing looked at it, how could this thing be a little familiar?

Unfold it, it reads: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, there is the prime minister's concubine Xia Jinse, outstanding appearance, graceful and gentle, to be in the boudoir." and the Nine Princes Lan Beichen can be called a heavenly design, and a good couple is natural. Xia Jinse is specially married to the Nine Princes as the concubine, and all the etiquette is handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the marriage will be completed on a good day......"

Isn't this the blank marriage letter he gave to the military god Xia Boyuan a few years ago, allowing the Xia family's concubine to choose a prince to marry?

"This has already been written, huh?" Emperor Yuanqing was surprised, as if he had just reacted, "It turns out that this marriage book is in your hand, I said, why hasn't Xia Xiang mentioned this matter, and his feelings are to take a fancy to the ninth brother as a fast son-in-law of Chenglong?" ”

"Xia Yanxiu has nothing to do with the king, anyway, as long as the king is Xia Jinse, the emperor can stamp the seal as soon as possible, and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible. If something goes wrong......" Lan Beichen said expressionlessly.

"Okay, okay! It's rare that the ninth brother wants to get married, and I will ...... right away Father-in-law Lu, where's my seal? Get it! ”

……

As soon as Xia Jinse returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

When she entered the door, although the porter was polite to her, the smile was indescribably weird, and even had a kind of flattery. And those girls are also busy saluting, ten times more attentive than usual when they see her, what the hell is going on?

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw Xia Yanxiu and Zhao sitting there, as if they had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Jinse, you're finally back?" Xia Yanxiu's tone was gentle, and his face twitched.

"Father, is there anything wrong?" Xia Jin was blessed.

Why is it that even Cheyenne Xiu is weird? Usually when she comes back, he doesn't give a good face, it's good not to ask, why is there a little more concern today?

Xia Yanxiu wanted to be gentle, but his face stiffened, and he only squeezed out a dry smile: "Uh...... The Father has something to ask you, this ...... You stayed in the palace last night, but the emperor and you ...... That'...... that's why I ."

He even wanted to ask, was he fortunate to be Emperor Yuanqing last night, but how could this kind of thing be asked in person? But if it's true, the Xia family is going to have a concubine, which is also an unexpected joy.

When Xia Jinse heard his tone, he felt more and more that something was wrong: "What am I talking to the emperor?" Yesterday, the emperor was unwell, I showed the emperor, and I had to stay in the palace as a last resort. ”

When Zhao heard that something was wrong, he asked: "But last night, my father-in-law came to say, did you stay in the palace and put the sky lantern with the emperor?" ”

Did you misunderstand what happened to her and the emperor?

Xia Jinse reacted, these people are just dirty and can associate anything, she said lightly: "Mother misunderstood, there is a special reason for putting the sky lantern, but this is the emperor's private matter, I can't tell my mother." ”

"Then you have nothing to do with the emperor, right?" Cheyenne Xiu simply asked directly.

"Of course nothing, where did my father go?" Xia Jinse's face turned cold: "My daughter is a little tired and wants to go back to rest, so I won't talk to my father more." ”

After saying that, she took Chasing Cloud and left.

It's rare that he didn't care about Xia Jinse's attitude, Zhao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, pouted and said, "Look, master, I'll just say, how can the emperor take a fancy to her?" As far as her dignity is concerned, let alone the emperor, as long as she is a man, she will not like it. It's funny to want to climb the branches. ”

Xia Yanxiu also breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, just don't do it!" You better go back and stare at Ruxue, don't let her cry all the time, and Meng Yao, this will be a critical time, don't let her make anything out again. ”

After passing through the central hall and bypassing the corridor, Xia Jinse's face gradually recovered.

Chasing Yun said in a low voice: "Miss, the lord and the lady are too much, and they actually misunderstood the miss and the emperor......"

"Some people have a belly full of feces, and everything is dirty, and if you bother with them, you will be angry to death." Xia Jinse was used to it, and she didn't care too much, so she should hurry back and get some sleep, she was still a little sleepy.

Suddenly, Chasing Cloud seemed to have discovered something: "Miss, look at ...... over there"

Looking in the direction, in the distance is the side gate of the Wind Lotus Garden, and the two people sneaked out, looking around as if they were afraid of being discovered. Although the person in front of her was wearing a girl's clothes, she was walking in such a way that even if she couldn't see her face clearly, she could guess her identity.

"Summer is like snow...... How did she dress like this and where was she going? Xia Jinse was a little surprised.

Didn't her second sister be ordered to think about it behind closed doors at home, looking at it like this, it was obvious that she was going to sneak out! But Xia Ruxue has always paid attention to her words and deeds, and paid attention to her identity and demeanor, why didn't she pretend to be a girl today?

Chasing Yunhu said suspiciously: "The master said that the second lady is not allowed to go out, for fear that she will have an accident, but now...... Miss, do you want to go and have a look? ”

Absolutely!

At this critical time, Xia Ruxue's mysterious actions must have deep meaning.

Xia Jinse was not sleepy anymore, and immediately followed Xia Ruxue's master and servant with Chaiyun, and followed all the way to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A sedan chair has been parked at the mouth of the alley, Xia Ruxue got on the sedan chair, and the two sedan chair drivers walked quickly. The person who followed outside the sedan chair turned out to be Mama Wei, and she looked back from time to time, for fear that someone would follow.

Finally, the sedan chair stopped at the back door of a house, the door opened, and Xia Ruxue did not get out of the sedan chair, but was carried in directly.

The door closed again, and Xia Jinse quickly went up the steps and looked in through the crack in the door.
