Although Xiu Yuanshuang entered the palace, the habit she developed in the Chu Wangfu was not lost, she liked to plant flowers and plants in her spare time, she let people open a small piece of land in the patio of the apse, and the seedlings planted in early spring had already sent young leaves, she bent down and looked carefully, with a happy smile on her face.

The little palace maid brought the bucket over, Xiu Yuanshuang reached out to get the long-handled water spoon, and Qiu Wen said, "Master, let the servants do this kind of work." ”

Xiu Yuanshuang shook his head, "If you let you do it, there will be no fun in this palace." These little seedlings are like her children, who have worked hard to plant them, carefully cared for them, and watched them grow slowly, and she will be satisfied.

"Master," Qiu Wen saw that she was in a good mood, and playfully joked with her, "The slave sees that the master is radiant, pinch his fingers, I'm afraid something good is coming." ”

Xiu Yuanshuang smiled, "What's the good thing about this palace?" ”

"Don't you know, master, everyone is saying that Concubine Xian has completely fallen out of favor, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the court, the emperor has never turned over her spleen, nor has he summoned her to the south study to accompany her, you say, is she completely cold?"

Xiu Yuanshuang's face was slightly gloomy, "Those people love to chew the root of their tongues, and you also follow them to fool around?" I warned you earlier, this is the Forbidden Palace, not the Mansion of the King of Chu, and the current emperor is not the King of Chu, except for the few around him, if others make a mistake, it is a death, if you make a mistake, this palace will not be able to save you. ”

Qiu Wen didn't expect her to mention it casually, and after such a big meal, she couldn't help blushing, and said sneeringly: "The master has taught him a lesson, and the slave knows that he is wrong." ”

Seeing that her head was lowered, Xiu Yuanshuang softened her voice: "How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past two days?" ”

Qiu Wen twisted his eyebrows and thought, "It's nothing else, it's just yesterday, in order to make him happy, a few little eunuchs in Chengde Hall used a porcelain bottle to draw blood on their foreheads, and this matter spread." ”

Xiu Yuanshuang's hand froze, and he handed the water spoon to the little palace maid on the side, "Who started this matter?" ”

"I heard that Master Jia was on the side at the time."

"Does the emperor know?"

"The emperor naturally knows, I heard that Yuegui specially mentioned this matter to the emperor, but the emperor didn't think so."

Xiu Yuanshuang frowned and looked thoughtfully at the flower seedlings on the ground. People are the same as seedlings, they need to be cultivated, the more expensive they are, the more careful they must be, otherwise it will be too late to regret when they are crooked.

She asked, "Is the emperor in court?" ”

Qiu Wen said: "It's already time, the emperor should go down to court, this time he will probably be in the south study." ”

Xiu Yuanshuang sighed slightly: "Prepare for it, this palace will go to Chengde Palace." ”

When Qiu Wen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and he was very overjoyed and responded, "Yes, the slave will let people prepare and send the master to Chengde Palace." ”

She was so surprised, Xiu Yuanshuang entered the palace, only the last time Xiu Yuanfei was called by the emperor to meet after the accident, usually the two never intersected, in fact, the Empress Dowager Rui arranged Jingxiu Palace for her to live is useful, the emperor often comes to the Empress Dowager Rui to ask for peace, as long as she is willing, it is easy to meet a few unexpected encounters, after all, the moon is the first near the water, but she is good, once her mind has not moved, and she also found the time when the emperor came to ask for peace, deliberately avoided the past, sometimes she spoke with Lafayette in Ci'an Palace, and heard the emperor coming, hurriedly walked through the side door, because she knew that the emperor did not want to see her, so she did not pest him in his eye sockets.

Qiu Wen is always a little worthless for her in private, such an empathetic daughter-in-law, why doesn't the emperor cherish it? But now Xiu Yuanshuang is willing to take the initiative to see the emperor, this is a good start, Concubine Xian is cold, how can it be the turn of Concubine Liang, as Xiu Yuanshuang's personal minion, she is still selfish, if Xiu Yuanshuang can give birth to a dragon son for the emperor, who will finally fall into the hands of the crown prince in the future, after all, Murong Lin's family has been exiled, and the Xiu family is the mainstay of the imperial court.

The emperor listened to Hao Pingguan's announcement, saying that Concubine Liang asked to see him, he was a little surprised, Xiu Yuanshuang lived in Jingxiu Palace, he often went to Ci'an Palace, and he never met her once, it can be seen that she usually has the intention to avoid him, he doesn't say it in his mouth, but he approves in his heart, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two of them. One is in the vestibule, and the other is in the harem, like two parallel lines, and they are safe with each other, but why did she take the initiative to come to the door today?

After a moment's thought, "Let her in." ”

Hao Pingguan answered, bowed and withdrew, and soon, Xiu Yuanshuang came in, bowed to the ground, and said with a respectful attitude: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”

"Get up," the emperor said lightly, "have you come to find me?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the concubine really has something to ask the emperor." Xiu Yuanshuang got up, stood in place, lowered his eyes and did not look at him, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, the concubine is thinking, the emperor has all the opportunities, and he has to take care of the prince, it is really hard, the concubine wants to beg the emperor, let His Royal Highness the prince go to the palace of the concubine, Dongyue has the custom of raising a child, is afraid that the mother will lose her children, and now the emperor loves the prince beyond the ordinary, and the concubine thinks that the emperor is not a good thing for the future of the prince's palace......"

The emperor's face sank, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xiu Yuanshuang knelt down, but his tone was neither arrogant nor humble, "The concubine loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as much as the emperor, and loves him, so you have to be good for him, not indulgent, yesterday's incident is well known to everyone in the palace, and last time I smashed the blood on Lafayette's forehead, the emperor, in the long run, it is very inappropriate for His Royal Highness the Prince's mind, he has a deviation, we as elders should guide him, not let him go, this is good for him......"

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, "You don't want to say more, go back, the prince has just returned to the court, I want to keep him by his side for a few more days, the child was only taught at the age of three, and it is still early." ”

Xiu Yuanshuang raised her head slightly, and saw a small face showing by the palace curtain leading to the apse, and a pair of big black eyes stared straight at her. She was just about to smile at him, when Murong Lin walked out from the side of the curtain, he looked at her, without any expression, and suddenly raised his hand, and a white thing was thrown out of his hand, smashed on Xiu Yuanshuang's forehead, and then fell to the ground with a snap, breaking into four or five pieces.

Xiu Yuanshuang raised his hand and touched his forehead, there was no blood, but there was still a small bulge, which must have been swollen.

Didn't see the bloodshed, the little prince was unhappy, pouted, bent down to pick up the fragments on the ground and was about to scratch her head, fortunately, the emperor came in time, grabbed his arm, took Mo Ronglin in his arms, took off the fragments in his hand, and didn't look at Xiu Yuanshuang, while walking to the apse, he raised his voice and called Yuegui.

Hao Pingguan hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiu Yuanshuang up, "Concubine Liang, it doesn't matter to you," he was a little embarrassed, "Don't blame the prince, he is not sensible, he is outside...... Bad learning. ”

Xiu Yuanshuang shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine, it's just that the prince can't go on like this, the chief manager is the person next to the emperor, and if you are free, you persuade the emperor." ”

Hao Pingguan said yes and personally sent her out of the door.
