Concubine Xi came to Queen Chen's bedroom the day before yesterday, and I don't know how this matter reached His Majesty's ears, and His Majesty ordered that because Concubine Xi was pregnant, she would be exempted from daily morning and dusk.

When the palace people came to deliver His Majesty's message, Empress Chen responded with a smile.

Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Wang Li praised Your Majesty and the Empress for being virtuous, but Concubine Yang De scolded Concubine Xi fiercely in her heart, this little slut, Huixin's matter is not over yet, she will contempt her son, sooner or later she will want Concubine Xi to taste it.

Han Jinxiu pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand, smiled lightly, and said that His Majesty cared about her, but it was better to say that His Majesty wanted to imprison her and prevent her from coming out to harm others. Our majesty is not a fool, if it weren't for the meat in Concubine Xi's abdomen, just relying on his wisdom to contempt the second prince would be enough to implicate Concubine Xi and make her suffer, it's a pity.

Leaving Queen Chen's bedroom, Han Jinxiu did not go back to the palace directly, but went to sit in Concubine Xu Hui's palace with Concubine Xu Hui and the second princess.

Concubine Wang Li threw the white jade porcelain in her hand on the ground, and as soon as she returned to the palace and sat down, she heard that the crown princess went to Concubine Xu Hui's palace, and she wondered how the princess went to greet Queen Chen every day. Empress Chen exempted her from the morning and dusk province on the grounds that she was taking care of the crown prince, but she has been going every day for the past three days, and today she understands it. She thought about asking Empress Chen to open her mouth and let her out of the palace, so that she could get her wish and see King Zhan in Zhenbei Wangfu tomorrow.

It's just that Concubine Wang Li didn't understand, how could the crown princess expect that Queen Chen would speak, and she was friendly with Concubine Xu Hui, so it was not for the prince to pave the way, as soon as she thought of these things, Concubine Wang Li couldn't sit still, and instructed the palace people: "Go and send a message to the Ministry of Rites to King Zhan, and let him accompany the palace for lunch." ”

"Yes, the minions obey." The palace people were busy responding.

Concubine Xu Hui is from the Chengguo Mansion, and she is a beautiful lady in the capital, and as soon as her bedroom is entered, she feels relaxed and happy, and she is in a good mood. Although the second princess she taught was taciturn, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Soon someone came from His Majesty's side and invited Concubine Xu Hui over to accompany His Majesty for lunch, Concubine Xu Hui left, and Han Jinxiu and the second princess were left in the palace.

The second princess suddenly leaned over, blinked her eyes wide, and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, can I ask you a question?" ”

The curiosity in her eyes made Han Jinxiu unable to refuse, so she said, "Yes." ”

"Imperial sister-in-law, why did you have such a big change? When I say this, don't be upset! The second princess put her hands on her cheeks and twisted her smiling face, for fear of upsetting Han Jinxiu.

Han Jinxiu chuckled lightly and said, "Don't be nervous, it's actually nothing, I just feel that since I can marry His Royal Highness, then I should be one husband and wife, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, I used to be confused." In the face of the kindness of the second princess, she blurted out.

Husband and wife are one, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, the second princess nodded as if she didn't understand: "Well, sister-in-law, what you said is really good." Imperial sister-in-law, you don't know, at the queen mother's birthday banquet that day, you stood up to protect the eldest brother, and I can't wait to stand up and applaud you. Also, you can actually find out that Zicui was strangled to death, not suicide. Sister-in-law, I really admire you so much, you are so amazing. Later, at the flower-viewing banquet of the Chengguo Mansion, you can explain such a precious peony flower, we all underestimate you. ”

In the heart of the second princess, Han Jinxiu is the person she admires, and she has long begged Concubine Xu Hui to find an opportunity for her to talk to Han Jinxiu alone, and today she can finally get what she wants.

Han Jinxiu smiled, did she gain a little fan girl!

From Concubine Xu Hui's mouth, I learned that the crown princess had given Queen Chen a morning and dusk province in the past few days, and she was still talking to the second princess in Concubine Xu Hui's bedroom at the moment, His Majesty's eyes were a little surprised, and then he picked up a piece of braised meat and put it in Concubine Xu Hui's bowl, and said softly: "Come, taste it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Xu Hui said with a smile.

Suddenly, His Majesty said: "The concubine is in love with the current crown princess." ”

Her heart trembled, and Concubine Xu Hui said softly: "Your Majesty, that is the blessing of the concubine and Yuan Die, don't you know, this girl has been pestering the concubine recently, let the concubine find an opportunity to invite the princess to the palace, she can talk to the princess, now it's okay, she can get her wish." ”

Stroking his chin, His Majesty blinked: "So, Yuan Disc has to thank me?" "If he hadn't ordered someone to invite Concubine Xu Hui here, where would the second princess be able to chat with the princess alone.

Hearing this, Concubine Xu Hui's eyes were like silk, and she said coquettishly: "Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty is right, the concubine used wine instead of Yuan Dish to give His Majesty a glass." As he spoke, he held up a glass jar containing crystal clear wine.

His Majesty was interested, and the two began to chat again.

When Han Jinxiu left, Concubine Xu Hui had already returned to the palace, she looked at the reluctant second princess, and said softly: "Yuandi, it's not too early, it's time for the princess to go back to the palace to rest, don't be rude." ”

Not long after the words fell, the second princess reluctantly let go of the jade hand that was pulling Han Jinxiu's sleeve, and pouted: "Okay, sister-in-law, don't forget, remember to come and play with me." ”

Han Jinxiu bowed: "Well, the imperial sister-in-law has written it down." ”

When the county lord Yonghe saw the third princess coming, he hurriedly stuffed the letter in his hand under the pillow, but the sharp-eyed third princess saw it, she quickly ran to the county lord of Yonghe, snatched the pillow, and took out the letter under the pillow. The county lord of Yonghe could only watch the third princess holding the letter and looking shy.

After a while, the third princess read the letter before handing it to the county lord of Yonghe, and teased: "Yonghe, I really didn't expect you and the third emperor brother to be so good." ”

There were red clouds floating on the face of the county lord of Yonghe, and he quickly stuffed the letter into his sleeve and said, "Yuanle, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Where am I talking nonsense, don't think that if the letter is not signed, I can't see it, except for the letter written to you by the Third Emperor Brother, who else can make you such a treasure? Others don't know you, I don't know you yet, what's this, you have a good relationship with the Third Emperor Brother, and you will be the one who will be my Third Emperor Sister-in-law in the future. The third sister-in-law, please accept the worship of my sister. The third princess began to look at the lord of Yonghe.

The county lord of Yonghe looked at the third princess with a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand and pinched her arm, and said, "Yuanle, don't talk nonsense, this matter hasn't been mentioned yet, don't mention it again." "The matter between her and the three princes cannot be made public at the moment, and after the palace examination, His Majesty will choose concubines for several princes. The mother said that she was still young and that she was not in a hurry for the time being, so how could she talk to her mother.

For so many years, her father died early, and it was her mother, the eldest princess of Jinyang, who raised her, she couldn't disobey her mother's words, but she liked the third prince in her heart, and she couldn't call the shots.
