On the way back to Zuo Xiangfu, Shangguan Qingyun and Ning Zhixuan rode in front, Shangguan Yunxin's carriage followed, and the last followed by Yunwen's carriage.

"Auntie, Huiyue just leaned out to take a look, but I didn't see the prince take the initiative to talk to the second miss, but the second miss said a word, and the prince would occasionally respond to it." Because Hui Yue was concerned about the coldness of sitting outside the car, she lowered her voice and flattered Yun Wendao, "It is said that the prince treats the second lady differently from others, but Hui Yue didn't see any difference." ”

"The prince has always been a person who is moody and invisible." Moire was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, but when he heard Huiyue's words, he also opened his eyes and said, "How can we easily spy on the prince's thoughts." ”

"Auntie......"

Before Huiyue could say anything more, Moire had already interrupted her and said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while." ”

Huiyue knew that Moire was afraid of the cold feelings sitting outside, so she didn't want to say much, so she nodded and said, "If my aunt is tired, she will lean on the wall of the car and take a nap, and Huiyue will wake up her aunt when she arrives at the Zuo Xiang's Mansion in a while." ”

"Pa Yun, how can I look at Sister Ning as if she is very familiar with the eldest brother." Shangguan Yunxin's carriage followed the horses of Shangguan Qingqiao and Ning Zhixuan, and when the curtain was lifted, he could see that the two would say a few words from time to time, and even though he was already curious, he said, "It's a pity that I can't hear what they are saying?" ”

"The slave also thinks it is strange." Pa Yun looked at Shangguan Qingqiao and Ning Zhiyun on horseback along the gap in the curtain, and saw that the two would talk to each other from time to time, and his heart was also curious, "The slave and maid returned to see His Royal Highness Prince Heng, he had a straight face, that is, the princess, you took the initiative to ask His Royal Highness Prince Heng for peace, and he just nodded slightly to answer the princess, but now he is willing to reply to the words of the second miss, it is not a miracle." ”

"Pa Yun, I see that you have really grown a lot recently." Shangguan Yunxin patted Pa Yun's shoulder and said, "I can see the difference between the eldest brother and Sister Ning at a glance." ”

"Princess, don't make fun of the slave anymore." Pa Yun touched the back of his head and said, "This is in the imperial capital, I'm afraid that even the three-year-old milk doll knows that His Royal Highness Prince Heng was born with a cold heart and a cold face, and his eyes are as cold as ice sculptures all year round. ”

Shangguan Yunxin listened to Pa Yun's words, and his heart was more determined in his conjecture, and then he frowned and said, "Is Sister Ning really hiding something from me?" ”

"Princess, if you really want to know what His Royal Highness Prince Heng said to Second Miss? After asking the second lady in a while, it will be clear. Pa Yun then gave Shangguan Yunxin an idea and said, "Second Miss and the princess, you have always been good, if the princess has any questions in her heart, she can ask them face to face." ”

"It's a shame that I've praised you for growing a lot, but you're really not praised." Shangguan Yunxin followed and told Pa Yundao, "I won't have a lot of mouths in front of Sister Ning for a while." ”

Pa Yun nodded hurriedly and responded to Ning Zhiyun and said, "The slave knows." ”

Shangguan Yunxin was curious about the conversation between Ning Zhiyun and Shangguan Qingyun, and Ning Zhixin also peeked at the palace people around him, seeing that everyone was secretly looking at himself and Shangguan Qingyun with their eyes, and then a smile on his lips was already a smile that had succeeded in his plan.

"You've really thought about it?" Shangguan Qingqiao saw Ning Zhixuan's thoughts at a glance, and then asked, "The game between the two parties is like a chess game, and there is always no regret. ”

"Although Zhiwen is a little woman, she doesn't dare to compare with the mind of a big husband, but she also knows the truth that she has no regrets." Ning Zhixuan glanced at Shangguan Qingyu beside her and said, "It's that His Royal Highness Prince Heng doesn't want to change his mind because of the stunning appearance of the eldest sister." ”

Shangguan Qingqiao's eyes unconsciously showed a touch of disgust when he heard Ning Zhixuan mention Ning Banghua, and then he returned to normal: "This king has made a promise and will never regret it." ”

"Zhiwen can trust His Royal Highness Prince Heng, His Royal Highness just needs to wait to see a good show, and by the third day of the next month at the latest, the show will definitely be staged as scheduled." Ning Zhiyun followed and turned over and got off the horse by stepping on the stirrups, and not far in front of her was the Zuo Xiangfu, she didn't want Ning Fanzhi to see her riding back to the house.

Changchun Palace in Ziyun City.

"Old lady, this is your favorite Pu'er tea, old lady." Aunt Sun then put the delicate white-glazed porcelain cup on the low table in front of Mrs. Xiao, "Niangniang remembered that the old lady loved to drink Pu'er tea, and specially told the slaves and maids to prepare more Pu'er tea in the palace." ”

Old Madam Xiao was helped up by Mama Chen beside her, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her head and said, "The courtiers are grateful to the imperial concubine for their thoughts, and the courtiers thank the imperial concubine for her grace." ”

"Mother, now that she is in her daughter's Changchun Palace, why does her mother have to abide by the rules like this." When the imperial concubine spoke, she wanted to get up and help Mrs. Xiao get up in person, but she was stopped by the old lady Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "The imperial concubine is a person valued by the emperor, and now she is in charge of the Fengyin and the six palaces on behalf of the queen mother, and the courtiers naturally have to abide by the rules a lot." ”

The imperial concubine knew that Old Madam Xiao was cautious everywhere because she felt sorry for her situation in the palace, so she could no longer bear to insist on her own opinion, but instead instructed Aunt Sun beside her: "Auntie, go and help my mother get up." ”

Aunt Sun followed and stepped forward to help Old Madam Xiao get up, and then helped Old Madam Xiao to sit down on the soft floor beside the imperial concubine.

"Niangniang, can His Royal Highness Prince Heng come into the palace today to greet Niangniang?" As Mrs. Xiao spoke, her eyes fell on the brocade curtain at the entrance of the hall.

"The prince came early in the morning to greet the imperial concubine." Aunt Sun followed and replied, "But later the Queen Mother said that she wanted to see our prince, and it happened that His Royal Highness Prince Yu and the ninth princess and the second lady of the Zuo Xiangfu were all in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, so the prince stayed in the Shoukang Palace to accompany the Queen Mother to have breakfast together." ”

"That's a real misfortune." Old Madam Xiao said with some disappointment, "The courtiers haven't seen His Royal Highness Prince Heng for some days. ”

The imperial concubine saw that Mrs. Xiao missed her grandson, and then instructed Aunt Sun beside her: "Tell someone to go to the outside of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to guard, if the prince comes out, let him enter the palace immediately." ”

"The slave and maid arranged for someone to go outside the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and wait for the prince to come out."

"Aunt Sun, please stay." Old Man Xiao hurriedly stopped Aunt Sun who was about to lift the curtain and go out, and then looked at the imperial concubine beside him and said, "The courtiers are just talking about it, His Royal Highness Prince Heng is highly regarded by the emperor and is busy with official business every day, how can he let His Royal Highness run back and forth because of the courtiers' selfishness." ”

"The daughter knows that her mother has always been cautious and has always kept her duty." The imperial concubine looked at Old Madam Xiao, and the meaning of pain in her tone was obviously more than blame, "Qing'er is your mother's own grandson, how can a grandmother need to be so careful if she wants to see her grandson." ”

Old Madam Xiao wanted to say something, but she was a little scruple about serving the palace maids and chamberlains in the inner room, and Aunt Sun on the side saw Old Madam Xiao's thoughts, and then led a group of palace maids and chamberlains to bow down and retreat.

"Mother knows that you have always been filial." Old Madam Xiao saw that everyone had retreated, so she dared to speak outside the rules, "But now that you are in the high position of the imperial concubine, it is inevitable that your mother will not be suspenseful for you day and night, for fear that one wrong step will affect you." ”

"Mother rest assured, her daughter is very good in the palace." The imperial concubine then stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Xiao's hand and said, "Now that the queen has left the palace to practice, her daughter is in charge of the phoenix seal, and no one in the palace can find a daughter." ”

"Mother knows that you are smart and capable in urinating, and now there is no one in the harem who can compete with you." Old Madam Xiao took advantage of the situation and already held the hand of the imperial concubine and said, "But you are the meat of your mother's heart, even if you are in a stable position now, your mother will always have to worry about you." ”

"Mother, it's the daughter who is unfilial, and the mother is worried about her daughter." The imperial concubine has always been iron-fisted and hard-hearted, but now in front of Mrs. Xiao, she can't help but reveal the soft posture of her youngest daughter's family, "Mother rest assured, my daughter knows that she is shouldering the honor and disgrace of the Xiao family, and she has always been awake, and she will not make a mistake if she doesn't dare or take a wrong step." ”

"My son." Old Madam Xiao then clenched the imperial concubine's hand in distress and said, "It's really hard for you all these years, you have worked hard to run in the harem for the honor and disgrace of the Xiao family." ”

"Mother, my daughter is not bitter, and now that my daughter is in the high position of the imperial concubine, everything is naturally satisfactory." The imperial concubine has always been strong, and she has always reported good news and not bad news, "What's more, Qing'er is also very filial to her daughter, although her daughter is in the deep palace, she is also comforted in the end." ”

"Although Qing'er's child is a little colder, he is really a good boy who is filial." Old Madam Xiao seemed to remember something, and then asked, "I just heard Aunt Sun say that Qing'er went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion, did she go to visit the eldest lady of Zuo Xiang's Mansion?" ”

The imperial concubine replied: "It was the daughter who asked Qing'er to go to the Zuo Xiang's Mansion to explore Hua'er, Hua'er is the concubine of the Zuo Xiangfu, and her appearance is also beautiful, and Qing'er is really a talented woman." ”
