The melodious sound of silk and bamboo on both sides of the river sounded, and the boats all stayed not far from the Nine Lotus Terrace, which could not hinder the lantern dance, but also could be watched at close range, although the boat that Xia Xiaoxiao took was not big, but it was enough for two people to move, a square table was placed in the center of the boat, the bead curtain hung down from the shed, and Xia Xiaoxiao grabbed two around and played with it in his hand.

Luo Zhi walked over from the bow of the boat, with a little sugar stains on his snow-white cuffs, Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes were sharp, he threw off the bead curtain and sat beside him, took the corner of his sleeve and asked, "It can't be the sugar gourd, right?" ”

Only then did he notice a stain on the corner of his sleeve and smiled, "It's not in the way, just go back and change it." ”

He wanted to retract his hand, but was pulled by Xia Xiaoxiao, pulling his cuffs and studying it carefully, "I knew I wouldn't let you take that sugar gourd, this dress looks so expensive, it won't be unclean, right?" ”

"If you can't wash it, don't you have to get me to be exactly the same?"

Luo Zhi simply held his chin with one hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the hand that Xia Xiaoxiao pulled the cuffs on the table, and his fingertips knocked on the table again and again, making a clanging sound.

"It's beautiful to think about."

Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him, lifted the teapot on the table, poured it in the palm of his hand and wiped it on the cuffs of Luozhi, Luozhi did not dislike it, quietly watched her scrub him seriously, and after a while, the cuffs were indeed clean.

"Well, isn't this it, you still want to trick me."

Xia Xiaoxiao handed it to him, Luo Zhi raised his sleeve to look at it, and then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, his face couldn't hide the disgust, "There is the smell of sugar, and the smell of tea." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao pouted, clearly seeing his disgust.

On the surface of the river, a gust of wind rises, the bead curtain is lifted and jingled, the music is played, with a brisk rhythm lingering over the river, the river has built a line bridge, eight women from eight different directions towards the middle of the river, all graceful, all holding one or two lotus lanterns lightly stepping on the line bridge on the river surface, lotus steps move lightly, with a dancing pace slowly towards the center of the nine lotus platform.

Xia Xiaoxiao saw that it had begun, got up and ran to the bow of the boat to watch, the thread used to support their posture was a very thin thread, drawn from both sides of the river, level with the water, if you don't look closer, it seems that eight women are dancing on the water.

Suddenly, a person on the shore pointed to the air and exclaimed, everyone's eyes looked at the woman who fell from the sky in the air, dressed in red clothes and suddenly appeared in the air, and flew to the center of the Nine Lotus Platform with red silk under her feet, just when everyone thought that the woman would fall into the water, she turned around in the air, took the red silk that was originally stepped on under her feet into her hands, faced the water, and used her excellent light skills to shake the red silk in her hand on the water surface, and it was another jump, every time the red silk was tapped, it was pointed in the eight directions of the lotus platform, each point, When the last of the eight people stood still, the woman in the air raised her red sleeves, and the red silk stroked her cheeks with her posture and slowly landed on the largest ninth lotus platform in the center.

With such a stunning debut, how can people not be curious about this woman's appearance? But when the red silk was gone, everyone realized that the woman had already worn a veil on her face. The gentle and tactful music rose, and the nine women in the middle of the river began to dance to the rhythm, although Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know how to dance, but he could also see that this dance was not something that ordinary people could dance, just like the stunt of walking on a thin line in the water, and it was not something that ordinary people could walk, not to mention the extraordinary light skills that the woman in red showed when she appeared on the stage.

"Stop, who is better between you and the woman in red?"

Xia Xiaoxiao pointed to the middle of the water, she had heard that today's dance was a dancer hired by someone in the capital from the Red Guest Building.

"Who do you think would be better, it seems?"

Stopped behind her, casually asking rhetorically.

Xia Xiaoxiao looked back at him, he had taken off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Luo Zhi was wearing a white narrow-sleeved corset, which looked more bold than usual.

"It's windy at night, why do you leave the palace with so little clothing?"

He tugged her coat together, Xia Xiaoxiao's face that almost touched his chest was hot, and there seemed to be something else in his heart, "I think it should be more powerful than that woman's, right?" That woman hadn't fallen off in the air for so long, and you had only been able to hold on for a few moments when you crossed the river before, didn't you? ”

"Could it be that I have to cross the river and dance in the air for two sections?"

Luo Zhi flicked between her foreheads and approached the boat, Xia Xiaoxiao covered her forehead, stuck out her tongue at his back and grimaced.

"Don't want your tongue anymore?"

Luo Zhi turned his back to her and floated into her ears with a chuckle, thinking about how this person had eyes behind him like Beigong Yu?

Xia Xiaoxiao was suddenly stunned, and it came to her mind that Beigong Yu had turned his back to her like this not long ago when she secretly grimaced at him, saying the same words.

Another gust of wind blew, waking up Xia Xiaoxiao, who was in a daze, walked to the opposite side of Luozhi and sat down, muttering in a low voice: "Why do you say the same thing as Beigong Yu?" ”

Luo Zhi's hand pouring tea froze in the air, and quickly returned to normal, as if he hadn't heard what she was saying.

The singing and dancing outside gradually carried out the wonderful part, Luo Zhi was watching leisurely, one hand on the table, his fingertips knocked again and again, Xia Xiaoxiao held his chin, his eyes fell on his bony fingers, moving up, it was his almost perfect side face, those deep eyes were hidden under the silver mask, I don't know if he was really watching the dance, or thinking about something else.

"I'll give you something, would you like it?"

Xia Xiaoxiao sat up straight, Luo Zhi turned her head to look at her, and she explained, "Didn't I owe you a gift last time?" ”

"What are you going to give me?"

Luo Zhi picked the corner of his eyes, Xia Xiaoxiao took out the fox sword spike from Huaihong and shook it in front of his eyes, "Dangdang!" See! I carved it myself, the craftsmanship is good! It must look good with your Zhongli! ”

Luo Zhi took the sword spike, a little surprised by Xia Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship, looked at the pattern on it, and chuckled, "Fox? ”

"You recognize it as a fox! I'm obviously very obscure, don't ordinary people think it should be a lot of peach blossoms when they see it at a glance? Xia Xiaoxiao took it back into his hand and looked at it carefully, and said unconsciously in his mouth: "It's so dangerous that I didn't really give it to Beigong Yu, and he can see that it's bad." ”

Luo Zhi was slightly stunned, "Why?" ”

"Beigong Yu is a stingy master! He is really as cunning as a fox, and if he knows that I compare him to a fox, he may not know how to beat me on the board! ”

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it.

"If it was given to him, why should it be given to me now? Aren't you afraid that Beigong Yu will beat you if he finds out? Or, you gave me what you should have given him, what can I understand this affection? ”

Luo Zhi leisurely drank tea and squinted at her.

Xia Xiaoxiao's heartbeat slowed down by his staring straight at him by two beats, and he put the sword spike on the table and placed it quietly. "Between you and me, what kind of love is it? If you regard me as a friend, I will make you a confidant, so why should you be bound to some unethical subtleties? ”

Falling silent, his gaze fell on the care engraved on the sword spike, and his eyes sank hidden under the silver mask.

"It's just your own thoughts."

I don't know when, the lantern dance has ended, the boat slowly returned to the shore, Luo Zhi jumped ashore first, stretched out his hand to her, Xia Xiaoxiao wrapped the coat on his body, held his hand and jumped ashore, she looked back at the river, the Nine Lotus Terrace has been withdrawn, and the lotus lanterns have been extinguished, this lotus feast is probably over.

"It's getting late, I'll send you back to the palace."

Xia Xiaoxiao shook his head and returned the coat he was wearing to him, "No need, I can go back by myself." ”

There are a lot of people watching the lotus banquet tonight, and there are also some family members brought by the princes and ministers, and there are many people on the way to the palace.

Luo Zhi seemed to see that she was worried about something, and she didn't insist, her eyes fell on the magnolia hairpin in her hair.

Xia Xiaoxiao walked a few steps, then turned to look at him, looking like he wanted to say something.

"What do you want to say?" Luo Zhi looked at her quietly, and at night, the smile on the corner of her mouth made Xia Xiaoxiao feel familiar again.

Shaking her head, she opened her mouth, but finally said nothing, turned and disappeared into the night, which was full of lights.

At the moment when Xia Xiaoxiao turned around, the man in the night raised his chin slightly, his eyes that were darker than the night under the mask narrowed, and his eyes were instantly covered with a layer of cold frost.

Dividing line

The sun is in full swing, the sycamore in several layers of deep courtyard has begun to wither yellow and fallen leaves, on the ground in the palace, but there is no trace of fallen leaves, the palace people clean up diligently, can know that in early autumn, the only thing that can be distinguished is the signal given by the branches in the courtyard and the gradually decreasing cicada chirping birds.

The roots of the ears are much purer.

When she came back from the lotus feast, she never left the courtyard gate of this Dusk Pavilion once, as if there was an iron chain that tied her here, and she didn't even bother to go out for a walk.

Xia Xiaoxiao lay flat on the couch and looked at the white clouds in the sky through the leaves above her head, some like horses, some like dogs, and some clouds looked like buns in her arms. After the lotus feast, there is another half month should be the hunting meeting, I heard that this year there are changes between the countries, not long ago in the south of the war is gradually tense, the treasury will also be nervous, as a last resort, the emperor will hold the annual regular hunting meeting in a few months later.

The clouds dispersed, the bun lying on her stomach stretched her waist with sleepy eyes, and the sun above her head shone directly on Xia Xiaoxiao's face, shaking her eyes so much that she couldn't open her eyes, and casually picked up the book she had just finished reading and covered her face. Today's sun is so big, I'm afraid it's the last time this year.

"! Empress! It's a big deal, mother! ”

Qingyue ran over from outside the courtyard screaming.

"What's the surprise? Didn't you see that Hongu was taking a nap? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was unmoved, her voice was lazy, it was a matter of the collapse of the sky, and there was also the mentality of a tall person.

"The slave maid went to the Splendid Pavilion to prepare for the purchase of clothes for the autumn season, and on the way back, he happened to meet the next court, and heard that today's performance was compromised, and many people jointly signed the impeachment of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the emperor was angry, and he actually transferred nearly fifty percent of the military power in the hands of His Royal Highness to His Royal Highness!"

"What!"

Xia Xiaoxiao sat up from the couch at once, and she didn't bother to pick it up when the notebook fell to the ground, and the shock in her heart was no less than that of Qingyue.

"Have you heard who played it, and what is the content of the impeachment?"

If it is said that the article on the impeachment of Beigong Yu in the past is not unprecedented, how come it was that as soon as it was played this time, nearly fifty percent of the troops were cut by Shengsheng?

Qingyue looked around cautiously, and whispered in Xia Xiaoxiao's ear: "In the music, it was said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is suspected of forming a party for personal gain, and the people who were impeached, in addition to Lord Wei, and many people such as the Ministry of War Shangshu have joined forces. ”

As soon as the word "party and private business" came out, Xia Xiaoxiao thought of the house where Beigong Yu took her out of the palace at that time, at that time, there were indeed many ministers in it, but it would be too far-fetched to say that it was a party for personal gain, Lord Wei was an old fox and she always knew it, but she didn't understand why even the military department was still on the book this time.

"You just said, who did the emperor give to those fifty percent of the troops?"

"Leave His Highness!"

Yes, Beigong Pheasant Departure.

The people who can make the emperor trust in this palace, except for Beigong Yu, are the only ones who have left the prince not long after returning to the palace.

Xia Xiaoxiao looked thoughtfully at the bun that was woken up, since she saw that Beigong Pheasant was walking towards the queen, she had never had contact with him, when she met before, she felt that he was a gentle person, now think about it, ten years ago, he was deeply favored by the emperor, and even almost took over the crown prince's position, even if he was gentle, but he was definitely not a simple person, but she didn't expect that he had only returned to the palace for a few months, and he had forced Beigong Yu to be a little embarrassed three times and twice.

"Mother, the queen mother summoned you over."

I don't know when there was an extra palace maid in front of her, wearing the costumes of Yuexia Palace, Xia Xiaoxiao frowned, she hadn't stepped into Yuexia Palace for a long time according to the old fox's instructions, what did the old fox suddenly call her to do at this time?

Approaching the Yuexia Palace, with the palace maid leading all the way to the courtyard, there are two rows of palace maids standing quietly along the way, not far away, you can see a lot of people, most of them come, are the family members of the court ministers, Xia Xiaoxiao swept slightly, and saw that the Beigong pheasant was also there.

When I got closer, I saw the Beigong Jihe Hebei Palace Pheasant standing not far behind the queen.

Everyone sat around the stone table in the courtyard, and the old fox was in the middle, wearing a dark red phoenix robe that looked noble and extraordinary.

Beigong Pheasant was the first to see her, raised his eyes, and lowered his eyes again.

At this time, a lady Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know saw her coming, and everyone's eyes fell on her.

Xia Xiaoxiao saluted and walked to the old fox's side.

"Xiao'er, go and sit down next to the main palace and let the main palace take a good look."

The old fox took her hand and took her to sit down next to her, with a kind face.

"It's the son's negligence, I didn't come to the Yuexia Palace today to ask the queen mother for peace, and I hope the queen mother will forgive her sins."

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at all the ladies present, and only then did he recognize one of them, who was the second lady in Master Wei's house.

"Where does the sin come from? You young people always have young things to do, and you can't always be accompanied by this palace, right? ”

The queen looked at her with a smile, and pointed to a few people present, "No, this palace is indeed idle today, and I called a few ministers' wives to come over and talk to this palace. ”

"Niangniang said very much, in the future, if Niangniang is bored, she can send someone to the concubine's house at any time to inform her."

Mrs. Wei diligently poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old fox, who took it and put it on the table, chuckling twice: "Look at what Mrs. Wei said, the wife takes the husband as the sky, and the palace naturally hopes that you can take care of the courtiers of the palace, how can you be summoned into the palace at will?" ”

Mrs. Wei's eyes flickered, and she was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, you all go back, you must be tired of entering the palace with the ministers today, and the palace will not keep you, the adults are afraid that they are waiting for you to be in a hurry at this time, right?"

The old fox waved his hand, and the palace maids came over and led the ladies out of the palace.

The queen got up and walked back to the palace, and Mama Gui left two palace maids in the palace and took the rest with her.

Xia Xiaoxiao followed behind her, and Beigong Pheasant Li and the two also followed, Xia Xiaoxiao heard a cold snort from the tip of Beigong Ji's nose, she turned her head to look at Beigong Pheasant, but found that he also happened to look at her, and hurriedly lowered her head.

She said that it was so coincidental that several powerful ministers in the palace would suddenly jointly impeach Beigong Yu, it turned out that the queen detained all her family members in Yuexia Palace as hostages, plus the emperor already favored Beigong Pheasant, Beigong Yu was weakened, and it was naturally Beigong Pheasant.

Queen, but he found a good backer.

"I heard from this palace, you went out of the palace a few days ago?"

The queen sat in front of the hall, squinting at her, and her tone revealed a little questioning, which was similar to the gentle attitude of the previous court.

"Erchen knows his mistake!"

As soon as she heard the word "palace", Xia Xiaoxiao knelt down with a puff, Xia Xiaoxiao saw that the old fox had started to do something to Beigong Yu, and she asked her not to come to Yuexia Palace again before, but to prevent her! At this time, if the old fox regarded her as Beigong Yu's person, it was not impossible to use this excuse to convict her!

"Although the palace knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken the tokens he carries with him and handed them to you, and you can enter and exit the imperial city freely, but in recent days, the crown princess seems to have left the palace too often, and she has been a little indulgent. If this matter spreads, it will damage the reputation of the royal family, and the crown princess can afford this crime? ”

The queen raised her eyebrows after the case, Xia Xiaoxiao hung her head and didn't dare to come out, "The son knows that he is wrong, and the queen mother forgives her sins!" You'll pay attention to it in the future! ”

The old fox deserves to be an old fox, and now that he has finally revealed his fox tail, he has begun to not let her go, and look how kind he has been, in front of those ladies.

"Don't dare? In the future? The queen chuckled, repeated these two words emphatically, raised her chin, and a palace maid walked up to Xia Xiaoxiao, "It seems that Xiao'er's token, this palace is going to take it back for the prince first." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao raised her head in disbelief, looking at the palm that the palace maid stretched out in front of her, her heart suddenly cooled completely, whether she handed it over, let alone if she didn't pay it! Punish it, punish it, what do you do with her tokens!

"What? The words of this palace don't work? ”

Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao was silent, the queen urged.

Xia Xiaoxiao panicked, this token was the only thing she could get out of the palace, if it was really accepted by the old fox, then wouldn't she finish playing? But the old fox doesn't look like he's joking now, so how can she disobey?

In the end, she had no choice but to take out the token from her arms, she bit her lip, looked at the old fox above again, and reluctantly handed the token engraved with Yu characters to the palace maid.

At the moment when the token was about to leave Xia Xiaoxiao's hand, a white and powerful hand grabbed the token and snatched it from Xia Xiaoxiao's hand, and a cold snort came from his ear.

"Even if it is collected, it is the son-in-law who collects it, and it seems that there is no need for the mother to intervene."

Beigong Yu stood behind Xia Xiaoxiao at some point, holding his token in his hand, and glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao who was kneeling on the ground lightly.

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him in disbelief again, and for some reason, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"The prince came over in such a hurry, and he came to question the palace before he said hello?"

Obviously, Beigong Yuhui's sudden appearance also surprised the queen.

The corners of Beigong Yu's mouth rose slightly, and he immediately changed his posture, looking deferential and humble, but he couldn't hide the sneer in his eyes, "Erchen, please say hello to the queen mother." ”

The queen squinted her eyes on the seat, and as soon as Beigong Yu came, she must not be able to get her hands on things, and her attitude was not as tough as before, and she smiled, "That's it, this palace is just to see that Xiao'er has been a little ignorant of the rules recently, and will teach you a lesson, as the crown princess, what kind of system will she become when she runs outside the palace all day long?" As the master of the harem, this palace is naturally in charge. ”

"In this matter, the sons have their own measure, so they don't bother with their mothers."

Beigong Yu's gaze fell on Xia Xiaoxiao, the queen's gaze swept over, and said softly: "Since the prince has said so, the palace will no longer pursue anything, get up." ”

"Yes."

Xia Xiaoxiao got up and secretly glanced at Beigong Yu beside him, not daring to say more.

"However, the prince doesn't look very good today, and he suddenly came to the main palace and the Yuexia Palace, but what's wrong with it?"

The queen waved her hand in front of her lightly, and she was sitting in her long-sleeved skirt, smiling more and more like a fox.

"It seems that the queen mother seems to hope that something unpleasant will happen to her son?"

Beigong Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, and there was a hint of a smile in his words.

The two of them are fighting in the dark, Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes secretly swept back and forth between the two, the old fox and a stinky fox collided together, and they were so flustered when they spoke.

The queen stared at Beigong Yu and was silent for two moments, then suddenly laughed twice, and glanced at Beigong Ji and Beigong Pheasant on the side, "The three of you are the emperor's flesh and blood, how can this palace hope that the prince will not go well?" ”

"Erchen, I think so too." Beigong Yu replied coldly.

The queen called Mama Gui over, "Mama Gui, send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two back, His Royal Highness should be tired today, and there will be no one left here in the palace." ”

"The retainers retired."

Beigong Yu smiled and saluted, and led Xia Xiaoxiao out of the Yuexia Palace, before leaving, Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes hurriedly swept over the Beigong Pheasant who had been standing aside, she suddenly remembered that from entering the hall to walking out of the hall, Beigong Yu's eyes had not looked at Beigong Pheasant once before.

"Still want to go back?"

Beigong Yu walked in front, and a cold voice floated over.

Xia Xiaoxiao immediately turned his head and sighed again that he had eyes behind him, trotted to his side in three or five steps, and looked up at him, "You know?" ”

"Hmm."

He replied lightly.

"Then you can still laugh." Xia Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at him and whispered. Fifty percent of the troops, what a loss it must be, she pinched a cold sweat for him when she heard it, why didn't he seem to care much.

"If Bengong doesn't laugh, is it difficult to cry?"

Beigong Yu gave her a blank look.

"They said that you were the one who formed a party for personal gain" Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't resist her curiosity, and felt afraid of being offended, so her voice was quieter.

"Do you also think that this palace is a party for personal gain?"

Beigong Yu asked her with interest.

"Naturally not! How could His Highness be that kind of person! ”

Xia Xiaoxiao naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, thinking that it was not, the answer in her heart must be that she saw it with her own eyes!

"Fear of things."

Beigong Yu couldn't help but say sarcastically.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't bother to answer, she was just afraid of things, anyway, Beigong Yu knew that she didn't have the courage for a day or two.

Beigong Yu gently threw the token he had taken earlier to the side and landed in Xia Xiaoxiao's arms.

"If you get rid of it next time, you will lose your life by the way."

Xia Xiaoxiao carefully held the token in her hand, as if she was holding some treasure, she was still thinking about how to ask him to come back, so she asked him hard, "In the past, the queen mother also knew that I was often out of the palace, and I didn't say anything, why did I suddenly change my personality today?" ”

"Whether you are out of the palace or not, she doesn't care, what she wants is this token."

Beigong Yu strode forward, and Xia Xiaoxiao had to trot to catch up with him.

"So valuable?"

She was surprised, took the token and looked at it carefully, but didn't find anything special, although it was made of pure gold, but it didn't reach the extent that the old fox was also tempted, Xia Xiaoxiao took it as a joke that Beigong Yu made for her, if it was really such an important thing, how could Beigong Yu hand it over to her?

She also joked casually, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with this token?" ”

Beigong Yu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, Xia Xiaoxiao bumped into it without holding it steady, Beigong Yu turned his head in pain, raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered at the corners of his mouth, "It's up to you?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao covered her red nose and stared at him unwillingly, how could he say this as if she was really so useless?

She didn't bother to talk to him, anyway, the token was back in her hands anyway, she didn't care how valuable this thing was, in her eyes, as long as it was a token that could get out of the palace, it was valuable!

Sure enough, within two days, the news of Beigong Yu's weakened military power spread throughout the palace and outside the palace, and even the palace maids of Huanyifang were discussing this matter, speculating whether the emperor planned to abolish the prince and re-establish the king as the crown prince after returning to the palace.

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at Beigong Yu, who was looking at her notebook beside him, knocking melon seeds on the other side, he had been so leisurely in her Dusk Pavilion for two hours! How can there be a little bit of a look to be abolished!

This Dusk Jin Pavilion, as long as Beigong Yu came, he was completely breathless, Qingyue was quietly guarding at the door, Xia Xiaoxiao was instructed to beat his legs, and even the buns were hidden under the bed after Beigong Yu came in!

"I don't know that Xiao Xia'er still has a hobby of reading these books."

Beigong Yu threw it aside after reading it, and changed her leg for her to beat, and her tone was a little unhappy.

Naturally unhappy, blame Beigong Yu for coming in, she was looking at the highlights, and when he arrived in front of him, it was too late to hide, but who knew that Beigong Yu just picked up the book and looked at it, her private collection of books are all stories of grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes imagined by tourists, although Beigong Yu likes to read books, but most of the books he reads are some history books and soldiers' books, how can he see this kind of story?

Just when he didn't know how to answer, Beigong Langyan hurriedly walked in, still carrying his new favorite who has always been inseparable from him recently.

"Second brother, I was just going to look for you in the Han Palace, you are not here, why did you come here?" Beigong Langyan put the cage in his hand on the table, and Xia Xiaoxiao saw that it was a guinea mouse.

"What about Lu Wuxian?" Beigong Yu raised his eyes and looked at Xia Xiaoxiao staring at the little mouse, and asked lightly.

Beigong Langyan glanced at Beigong Yu, then at Xia Xiaoxiao, a little hesitant, and saw that Beigong Yu didn't mean to let Xia Xiaoxiao retreat, so he opened his mouth, "I sent people to urge me several times, but I always sent people back with various excuses, in my opinion, he didn't want to go back to the palace." ”

"Hmph, this palace will let him be free for a while, when the time comes, there is always a way to let him come back." Beigong Yu sneered, as if something was suddenly stepping on his feet, and when he looked down, Baozi ran out from under the bed at some point, looking up at him with two green pupils, and a rag that he had found out of nowhere.

Beigong Yu frowned, kicked it away, and the round meat bun was kicked at Xia Xiaoxiao's feet, Xia Xiaoxiao was distressed for a while, and immediately picked it up and glared at Beigong Yu, and began to check whether it was kicked by Beigong Yu again.

He doesn't have any love for animals, either throwing or kicking her buns! If this bun falls into his hands, he will be killed sooner or later.

She was sullen, and she didn't dare to really say it to Beigong Yu, looking at the bun in her arms, her face turned red with distress.

Beigong Yu looked at her expression, his brows furrowed even deeper, why did he feel as if he was angry with him?

Beigong Langyan pulled the corners of his mouth, and quietly put the cage on the table beside him, Beigong Yu swept over with an eye wave, Beigong Langyan pretended that nothing had happened, as if he was afraid that Beigong Yu would also poison his pet.

"Go back to the Han Palace!" The corners of Beigong Yu's eyes jumped, and he got up and walked out of the Dusk Pavilion, obviously he was angry with these two people.

Xia Xiaoxiao reluctantly put the bun on the table and went to the door to send Beigong Yu, Beigong Langyan stood beside her, and had no intention of leaving with Beigong Yu, Beigong Yu turned his head and glared at him, "What are you doing if you don't go away?" ”

Beigong scratched his head with a smile, "Eh, second brother, you go first, I'll have a cup of tea and then leave." ”

Beigong Yu didn't bother to care about him, threw up his sleeves and left.

When he couldn't see the figure of Beigong Yu, Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at Beigong Yanyan, and asked him again, "If you don't leave, what are you doing here?" ”

"This king hasn't seen his sister-in-law for a long time, so naturally he has to have a cup of tea before leaving."

He didn't think he was cheeky, so he walked back to the house first, and before Xia Xiaoxiao could come over to pick him up in person, a miserable scream that pierced the sky came from his mouth!

Xia Xiaoxiao was startled, and hurriedly ran back to the house, saw that he was lying on the table, and hurriedly asked him, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Got your head caught in the door? ”

She looked back at the door and breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay, the door was not broken.

"Little White King's Little White"

"Xiaobai? What is Xiaobai? What happened to Xiaobai? ”

"Dead"

Beigong Langyan was together, holding the corpse of the little mouse in his hand, and there were bright red blood stains on it.

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, glanced at the bun that was licking his paws at the door, and the corners of his mouth twitched, this damn it, stealing the bloody and not knowing the destruction of the corpse, isn't this alive to give people evidence to catch ready-made.

"Say, sister-in-law, how do you have to pay the king!"

Beigong said that he was really sad

"Qingyue, what's going on?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked Qingyue on the side.

"Slave maid, slave maid has been guarding the door, and I haven't paid much attention to it, and the slave doesn't know how this happened." Qingyue cautiously glanced at Beigong Lane Yan and replied truthfully.

Xia Xiaoxiao looked back at him again and said calmly, "Qingyue doesn't know what's going on. ”

Beigong Langyan dragged his Xiaobai's corpse in his hand, his eyes were red, "What's the matter, I don't know if I was bitten to death by your bun!" ”

"Qingyue, did you see it?"

"The slave and maid have been guarding the door, and they have not seen it with their own eyes."

"She said she didn't see it." Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head, saying that she was not responsible for this matter.

"You! You! Sister-in-law, you are obviously unreasonable! Beigong still felt that he was a little cheeky, and then he found out that Xia Xiaoxiao was even more cheeky than him!

"Who let you take what ** pet is not good, you have to raise rats, who let you go where is not good today, you have to come to my twilight pavilion? In the end, it's either your bad luck or your family's bad life. Xia Xiaoxiao sighed deeply, her expression very regretful.

Beigong Langyan was once again so angry that Xia Xiaoxiao was speechless, and walked out with the empty cage.

"The Thirteenth Prince will no longer drink a cup of tea before leaving?" Xia Xiaoxiao shouted, Beigong Langyan turned his head and glared at her deeply, and then glared deeply at the bun at the door, as if he stepped out of the courtyard with the determination to never want to come to this Dusk Pavilion again.

Xia Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, at the beginning, she had always been a master who was as difficult to serve as Beigong Yu.

She carried the bun back to the house, as if she had stepped on something, and when she picked it up, she saw that it was a rag that the bun had just picked up out of nowhere.

Just as she was about to ask Qingyue to come in and take it out and throw it away, she looked at the pattern painted on the canvas, and suddenly remembered that she didn't buy it with Beigong Yu on the way back to the palace from Yong'an Temple?

She took the canvas in front of her again, and now that she looked at it, why did she feel more and more familiar with the things painted on it? Where did she seem to have seen her not long ago?
