"Don't say that again!"

Lian Ji said sharply: "The little prince is the little prince, if you don't want to die, it's best to swallow this secret, if you dare to leak it, you and I will lose your life!" ”

The palace maid was worried: "But in the future, if someone finds out......"

"No one will know." Lian Ji took a deep breath and said quickly: "Everyone who knows about this matter is almost dead, so now only you and I are left, as long as you don't say it, no one will know about it." ”

"But now that the prince of the East Palace has returned to the palace, I'm afraid she will be unfavorable to the little prince."

"Heh," Lian Ji sneered: "If that's the case, then Bengong can't ask for it, you have to remember that for us, this is a big gamble, and if we win the bet, we will be rich and glorious in our life, and we will lose...... As long as you and I hide the little prince, we can still save our lives. ”

"Got it?"

Hearing this, the palace maid no longer had any dissent.

Outside the door, because he was too shocked, Qi Zihuan's face was pale and he took several steps back, his mouth opened and closed several times, but he couldn't say a word, his throat seemed to be pinched, and he was in severe pain and difficult to breathe.

Before she could react, she burst into tears.

It turned out that before she knew it, she was crying so badly.

……

When Lian Ji came out, Qi Zihuan was no longer on the dinner table.

She was slightly stunned, and called the palace people guarding outside and asked, "Where did the twelve princesses go?" ”

Hearing this, the palace people were at a loss, and when their eyes touched Lian Ji's slightly unhappy expression, they hurriedly lowered their heads and replied: "Just now, Her Royal Highness the princess walked out hurriedly without saying a word, and the slave called Her Royal Highness many times, yes, the slave didn't know where the princess went." ”

Hearing this, Lian Ji frowned dissatisfiedly and scolded: "It's all at this time, she hasn't even finished eating, what kind of petty character is she playing?" It's really ignorant. ”

The palace maid with her head bowed pondered and replied: "Maybe Her Royal Highness the Princess has something important to do, the slave just looked at it, and Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to be in a hurry." ”

Lian Ji waved her hand impatiently, thinking that she could see it very clearly: "Come on, what important things can she have, it's not that she takes this opportunity to hide from me, don't speak for her, don't talk for her, don't understand the girl, even if it takes another hundred years, she is still not sensible." ”

Seeing that Lian Ji insisted on her own ideas, as a small minion in the deep palace, the palace maid naturally did not dare to argue with the superior.

However, after thinking about it carefully, the palace maid still thought that Her Royal Highness the princess when she left was really in a hurry.

That year's suddenness, even her little palace maid felt worried when she saw it.

……

Qi Zihuan, who was greatly hit, stumbled to the place where he was driving, sat up in a hurry, and while supporting his chest, he commanded with a pale face:

"Quick, go back to the princess's mansion."

Everyone didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly lifted the car and walked steadily along the wide palace road.

Qi Changrong, who happened to be passing by here, paused and looked at the team that left in a hurry and was speechless.

Following the gaze of His Royal Highness, Shi Xia immediately clearly saw the back of the twelve princesses sitting on the frame.

"What is Your Highness looking at?"

Qi Changrong looked at the direction in which Qi Zihuan came, and said lightly, "She came from that road just now, and I didn't see the loneliness on this road." ”

The two roads are opposite, and no matter how much you don't pay attention, you shouldn't miss it so simply.

"Today is the birthday of the twelve princesses, and yesterday is the day of the burial of the twelve horses, Her Royal Highness the princess must be very depressed, and it is reasonable to be absent-minded."

"You know that." Qi Changrong glanced at Shi Xia.

The latter thought that this was referring to something that she knew about Qi Zihuan's birthday, so she smiled shyly: "The slave is a slave of the royal family, so naturally you have to remember the special days of the masters of each palace." ”

Qi Changrong shook his head, no emotion could be heard in his voice, and ordered, "Go and find out what happened in the Lotus Pond Palace just now." ”

"Your Highness is worried that Lian Ji Niangniang has bullied the twelve princesses?"

"Talk."

Qi Changrong squinted, his temper was much better, although he seemed to be scolding, but there was no anger in his words: "Her state is not quite right, it's good to go and take a look." ”

Shi Xia touched his nose stupidly, and responded to this matter.

Not long after, about what happened in the Lotus Pond Palace today, it probably came to Qi Changrong's ears.

As for the dialogue between Lian Ji and Qi Zihuan's mother and daughter, as well as the conversation between Lian Ji and the little palace maid, they were all covered up because there was no third person present.

Therefore, what came into Qi Changrong's appearance was some ordinary daily life.

Qi Changrong frowned, as if he was bothered by something.

"Something isn't right."

These words happened to fall into the ears of Shi Xia, who came in with hot tea, and took over the conversation without paying much attention: "What's wrong with this?" I'm afraid that the twelve princesses are in love with the scene, and in the process of talking with Lianji Niangniang, they remembered something related to the horse, so they left in a hurry. ”

"Really?"

"Of course." Shi Xia nodded, and served the tea with both hands.

The fresh fragrance of tea overflowed in the hall, and in a trance, it seemed to be able to dilute a little of the sorrow that lingered in people's hearts.

A pair of smiling eyes appeared in front of him, Qi Changrong was noncommittal, and raised his hand to take it.

The familiar smell of tea diffused in his mouth, and after a while, Qi Changrong took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes and said, "Since it is the twelfth birthday, you go to the treasury to pick up something she can use and send it over as a birthday gift." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xia was slightly surprised: "In the past ten years, in addition to the annual rewards of the royal family, His Royal Highness has never given additional gifts to the princesses, which ...... Is it the only one of the twelve princesses, or will every princess have one in the future? ”

It was hard to imagine that Shi Xia would ask such a stupid question, Qi Changrong looked at her and turned the cup slowly: "What do you think?" ”

Suddenly, Shi Xia's back was dripping with cold sweat, and a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "The slave understands, this gift is special for the twelve princesses. ”

A soothing gift.

Not every princess is eligible to get it.

After thinking about it, Shi Xia let out a long sigh of relief, and he didn't understand why he asked that sentence at the last moment.

The East Palace Treasury is really not rich.

Perhaps this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the poorest prince in the history of the Qi royal family.

Just when she was about to pick out a gift, she heard Qi Changrong say: "Not only this year, but every year in the future, as long as she lives and lives alone, you must remember to give her a birthday gift." ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Changrong squinted his eyes, and finally let go of a big thing.

When Qi Zihuan got married, she once said that as long as Qi Zihuan regarded herself as a member of the Qi royal family one day and did not betray her, as a brother, she would naturally protect her.

Facts have proved that Qi Zihuan really has no heart of betrayal.

If there is no Qi Zihuan behind the promotion, it is still unknown whether Jiang You will have the courage to ascend the grievance platform and expose Jiang Bowen's true face.

She is grateful for this matter, so she can't be stingy to release her kindness and make Qi Zihuan's life more comfortable.

After all, after the outbreak of the Jiang thief incident, as Jiang Bowen's daughter-in-law, Qi Zihuan's situation was not good.

Although it is not said that he is in a desperate place, the gossip on weekdays is enough to irritate people.

The suffering of gossip is very endurable.

After hearing Qi Changrong's words, Shi Xia, who was about to leave, stopped and said, "Your Highness plans to protect the twelve princesses for the rest of your life?" ”

"As long as Twelve doesn't betray and doesn't kill people and set fires, why not?"

Twelve is her imperial sister, Jiang You is Jun Chen's apprentice, in this case, what reason does she have not to protect others?

Shi Xia said: "In this case, the birthday gift sent cannot be ambiguous, and some precious ones must be sent to support the row of the Twelve Princesses' Mansion." ”

"Hmm." Qi Changrong bowed his head, thought for a while and said, "The birthday gift will be personally selected by you, and then sent to the princess's mansion by Ji Fang." ”

Ji Fangnai is the chief eunuch of the East Palace, and its meaning represents the meaning of the prince of the East Palace to a certain extent.

Let Ji Fang come forward, that is, some people want to take this opportunity to sneer at the Twelve Princesses' Mansion, and even offend the Twelve Princesses' Mansion, they have to weigh whether they have the ability to offend the East Palace together.

Even Shi Xia was a little surprised by Qi Changrong's order, and said in surprise: "Your Highness is really good to the Twelve Princesses. ”

"There is no good or bad in the world for no reason, this is what Jiang You bought with one life, and it is deserved by Twelve."

When the words fell, Qi Changrong's eyebrows gradually became dull, and he had no interest in continuing.

Seeing this, Shi Xia, who couldn't guess what she was thinking, retreated with great interest.

Two hours later, the birthday gift prepared by the East Palace was personally sent to the Twelve Princesses' Mansion by Ji Fang.

And the momentum is unusually huge.

Even Qi Ajiu, the ninth princess of the Qi royal family who was a few streets away, heard the wind, and couldn't help but turn her head and ask the concubine sitting next to her: "Why did the East Palace make such a move?" ”

The horse smiled bitterly in his heart, and his face did not show anything, but he said: "Who can accurately guess the thoughts of the prince of the East Palace?" I just want to protect the twelve princesses, and the princess doesn't think about these things anymore. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ninth princess was even more distressed: "The prince obviously doesn't like twelve, how can he stand up and shield her from the wind and rain at this time?" ”

"Maybe ......" The Nine Horses paused, and guessed at random: "The so-called dislike is just the surface, in fact, your blood is thicker than water, and at the critical moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally choose to protect you?" ”

"!"

The ninth princess glared at the person next to her dissatisfiedly, pinched her eyebrows and said, "Do you think the prince's brother is really some kind and good person?" Once upon a time, there was only a thirteen penny, after all, thirteen was fostered under the knees of Concubine Qin, and we were closer than the prince's brother, but twelve...... I can't figure it out. ”

An arrogant and unreasonable princess who never even admits her mistakes, what is there worthy of the prince's brother's protection?
