The sun is rising.

In Prince Gong's mansion, Zhen is pruning flowers in his small garden.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-April, and the jasmine in the garden had begun to bud, but there were not enough of them.

Zhen carefully prunes off some of the long, unbudding green branches, and only by cutting these green branches and waiting for the gardeners to apply a batch of flower fertilizer at night, can the new buds grow faster and more often.

Zhen moved slowly in front of the half-human-tall potted plant, yawning from time to time - she and Gong Wang had barely seen each other last night.

Because after the early dynasty today, Emperor Jianxi had to continue to discuss the layout of the northern territory with the cabinet, and King Gong would also participate, so King Gong could only squint for a while in his clothes, and when the sky was dark, he hurriedly got up and prepared to enter the palace.

Such sleepiness and fatigue, coupled with the fact that last night because of the turmoil of the prince, what Sun and Zhang wanted to say was not completely finished, made him a little breathless.

However, when they were about to go out, the prince and the princess saw that the prince was already waiting in front of the gate of the palace—he had come to apologize to his father for what happened last night. This somewhat calmed King Gong's anger and made the princess feel relieved, so after seeing the prince's chariot and horse leave, the princess chatted openly and honestly with the prince about everything about Bai Ling......

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and Zhen turned around, only to see Lu Dou, the eldest companion of the prince, approaching respectfully and saluting.

Zhen looked behind Lu Doudi, "Why are you here, Shizi?" ”

"Back to the princess," Lu Dou's face was a little smirked, "The prince originally wanted to come over and talk back, but as soon as he saw that it was almost time for the Guozijian to read in the morning, he went out to the Guozijian first." ”

The corners of the princess's mouth lifted slightly—this child hadn't slept all night, and now he was so energetic again.

It can be seen that he really listened to what he said to Shizi in the morning.

"So did the medicine accept the peace charm of the son of the world?" The princess asked softly.

"Take it all." Lu Dou said softly, "Hey, the slaves and maids can't describe it, but anyway, come back all the way, the prince is really happy." ”

The princess didn't say anything, just turned around and continued to serve Jasmine—she smiled helplessly, how could this kid be so self-inflicted?

Bai Ling is obviously not a girl who can be impressed by sincerity alone, just by virtue of her beautiful dodge in front of Emperor Jianxi last night, Zhen knew that this time the prince had encountered a catastrophe.

For such a girl, it is completely ineffective to dig out the heart and lungs or stick to it. Like Chen Yicong, if he rushes over recklessly, he will only be hit by the other party's iron wall and break his blood, so that he will be defeated early.

But even so, Zhen is still a little kind to this Bai Ling.

This may be because Bai Ling chose to save the reputation of the prince first in the face of danger; Maybe it's because I see her kindness with a faint fang...... All this made Zhen faintly feel that Bai Ling's cleverness was a little cunning, and what was even more rare was that she was not bad-hearted.

If in the future, she can really serve the prince or the prince sincerely, it is a great thing.

Thinking of this, the princess came back to her senses and looked at Lu Dou on the side, "Go down, when the prince comes back in the afternoon, you can send someone to talk to me." ”

"Huh! The slave understands. ”

After Lu Dou completely retreated, Zhen let out a long sigh.

Thinking of Shizi's performance in the past few days, she felt funny and anxious for her son.

It can only be said that fortunately he can still listen to the persuasion and can temporarily stop this meaningless charge, otherwise he will directly pierce the window paper with a pole, and some things will no longer be able to be done, and some things will no longer be inconvenient to say.

The future is long, as long as there is a glimmer of leeway, there is still everything to do......

The maid on the side listened to Zhen's sigh, and saw that she seemed to be a little embarrassed, so she couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Is the princess uncomfortable?" Do you want to sit next to you, and leave the work to the slave and maid. ”

Zhen shook her head, she reached out again and cut a long green branch, as if talking to herself, "If people's hearts are as easy to prune as this flower branch, there will not be so many troubles in the world." ”

……

Time calmly pushed back a few days.

After learning that Bai Ling had been proposed by the emperor from the Shen Criminal Division and grounded at home, the concubine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, the concubine tentatively went to visit the Yangxin Palace several times, and finally got the permission of Emperor Jianxi yesterday, she can also be like the Queen Mother, and summon Bai Ling into the palace every once in a while, but from now on, Bai Ling may not be able to live in the Chengqian Palace for a long time as before.

This news made Qu Shi a little regretful, but from Emperor Jianxi's attitude, she was even more sure of one thing - this matter was originally guessed by Concubine Ning, and the emperor was taking advantage of the preparations in the north to delay the disposal of Chuxiu Palace.

However, Qu Shi felt that it was nothing, she really didn't care much about the final outcome of the Lin family, and the important thing was that Emperor Jianxi also didn't want to severely punish Bai Ling. For the concubine, this is enough.

Early this morning, Qu was accompanied by Bao Yuan, and these newly played rattles went to Xianfu Palace to see the little prince. Ah Tuo had already eaten, and when Qu Shi entered the door, he was lying on his stomach in Concubine Ning's arms and playing with her hair.

"Are you looking good today?" Concubine Ning looked at Qu's face and said with a smile, "What's the happy event?" ”

Qu Shi smiled and repeated the news that Emperor Jianxi had allowed Bai Ling to enter the palace again last night.

Concubine Ning looked at the smile in Qu's eyes and quipped, "Do you dare to let her come?" I heard that Mrs. Qu and Song Bozong heard that it was the prince who rescued her, and they were so angry that they smashed the cup and bowl on the spot. It is said that this girl pleases both ends and hides from both ends, and she is a ghost. ”

"They annoy them," Qu said softly, "and I like it enough." ”

"You're just too good at carrying it, really." Concubine Ning carefully handed the child in her arms to Qu Shi, "What if you just turn your face with the old lady once?" Can she burst into the palace and beat you up? If she really dares to come, I respect her as a heroine. ”

Qu Shi was amused by Concubine Ning again, at this moment she suddenly remembered the conversation with Bai Ling a few days ago, when Bai Ling mentioned "defense" to her, that seems to be her state of existence since entering the palace - whenever there are worrying orders or reproaches coming into her palace, she always silently corrects her words and deeds, and would rather endure a situation that is close to suicide than to maintain, and she has never thought of a second way.

Qu Shi held the child in his arms and smiled a little abruptly.

At this moment, Ah Tuo stretched out his fleshy little hand and muttered milkily.

With a little tenderness, Qu Shi held the child's hand.

She didn't want to barely maintain a crumbling fortress anymore.

She wanted to be a garden.
