After taking the medicine and walking a few steps, I saw Xia Yingxi standing not far in front of me, looking at something through the tree.

"Didn't His Highness say to take you out of the palace? What are you doing here? Xia Xiaoxiao walked over, but Xia Yingxi just hung her head and didn't speak, looking a little aggrieved.

Xia Xiaoxiao also looked behind the tree on the side, and she immediately understood what Xia Yingxi was wronged. Under the tree not far away, Beigong Yu was holding a woman in his arms, and when he looked closely, it was Beigong Changting, who was unwilling to marry just now.

Beigong Changting's face looked like a flower cat, his head was resting on Beigong Yu's shoulder, and his posture was ambiguous, if Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know the relationship between the two of them, I am afraid he would have thought that it was a pair of mandarin duck lovers.

Xia Yingxi didn't think as much as Xia Xiaoxiao, she whispered: "Princess Fang Cai Changting suddenly chased after her, and Her Royal Highness asked me to go back to the palace first, but I didn't know that as soon as I came back."

She didn't finish her words, Xia Xiaoxiao knew what she was thinking in her heart, led her to take two steps in the direction of Chenxiao Palace, and comforted: "Don't think about anything too much, the princess of Changting must not be comfortable when she marries into the Jin Kingdom, the prince is her imperial brother, it is good to persuade her at this time, if you can't leave the palace today, then go back to the palace another day, you go back to the palace to rest first, and your Highness must not make trouble with him after you go there." ”

This girl is nothing more than vinegar, how can you say that the princess of Changting is also the heir of the royal family, the Beigong Yu family is not bad, she looks no worse than Xia Yingxi, such a beauty is so ambiguous leaning on Beigong Yu's arms that she is not jealous.

She can also see what kind of mentality Princess Changting has towards Beigong Yu, she likes a person, and even the eyes of that person are different, Xia Yingxi is a small family with a beautiful temper, and she doesn't want to say anything, but she is also thorough, and staying here makes her more and more uncomfortable.

Xia Yingxi still listened to her sister's words, nodded, and was about to leave with the little girl of the green warbler, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at her and hesitated, "Yingxi." ”

"What's the matter with my sister?" She looked back, her face looking a little lost, and she spoke quieter.

Looking at her eyes, there was still a sense of unwillingness in a flash, Xia Xiaoxiao thought that she was dazzled again, thought about it and asked, "Do you have true feelings for the prince?" ”

Xia Yingxi's face suddenly turned red, nodded slightly, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Hmm." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao saw that she answered so surely, and sighed secretly in her heart, suddenly she couldn't even figure out why she came, one after another, Xia Yingxi, Shu Changhua, and even Beigong Changting, why did they fall in love with this man, even her, it was just a glance three years ago, how long is one glance? can't afford her to eat a meal, how can she be so obsessed with it in the past three years?

Obviously, everyone knows that it is a man who is not worthy of love.

"Hey." As soon as Xia Yingxi left, Xia Xiaoxiao sighed again, looking at her heart, it was really an indescribable feeling, Beigong Yu said that it was a disaster, even his own sister was not spared. It's a bit of a beast now.

There was a slight sound behind her, Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head, Beigong Changting had already left, Beigong Yu didn't know when she had come to her from behind the tree not far away, and a pair of deep black eyes looked at Xia Yingxi's departing back.

"She's your sister." Xia Xiaoxiao looked at his three-dimensional side face, a head taller than her, and the oncoming sunlight was all blocked by him.

He turned his head to look at her, and said slowly, "So what." ”

"If you go to intercede, she doesn't have to marry, after all, the Jin Kingdom is too far away." She twisted her eyebrows, at least if Beigong Yu could intercede for Beigong Changting just now, then Princess Changting might not be so sad. Xia Xiaoxiao, who looked at Beigong Yu before she ran out of the courtyard just now, saw it, and it was clearly begging him!

But Beigong Yu still had that cold face and didn't say a word.

Beigong Yu and Beigong Pheasant Li are siblings, when the emperor was just born, he raised troops to attack the imperial city, when all the dust settled, Beigong Yu's mother also died, and was arranged by the emperor in a side hall far away from the Lingxiao Palace, and Beigong Pheasant Li has been accompanying the emperor.

And the princess of Changting is also unlucky, when she was a child, she just learned to walk when her biological mother went, at that time the prosperity of Yue Huaguo had just begun, and the emperor was busy with state affairs, so he didn't have the energy to ask this little princess, and the master of the other courtyard saw that the little princess was a daughter and was unwilling to accept it, and the emperor knew that the harem was not at ease to put the little princess to other concubines, so he put the four-year-old little princess in a palace and sent two or three palace people to take care of it. The relationship between the two is also good.

It wasn't until later that the state affairs were too peaceful, and the emperor had the energy to think about other things, knowing that he only had such a daughter, and he suffered a lot after being born, so he put the little princess by his side and spoiled her, and gave her what he wanted.

And over the years, Princess Changting has been with Beigong Yu for the longest time among all the royal brothers, and there was even a period of time when the two went in and out together, in this palace, she trusted Beigong Yu the most, and listened to him the most.

The princess who has always been pampered by others, sometimes she doesn't even listen to the emperor's words, but she is obedient to Beigong Yu, and this liking has long exceeded the love of brother and sister.

Beigong Yu must know these better than her.

Beigong Yu sneered, as if laughing at her ignorance, and as if laughing at her stupidity, "What if the Jin Kingdom is far away?" The use of marriage to consolidate the relationship between the two countries is something that all dynasties and generations have, and in the royal family, not everything can be based on her temperament. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was too lazy to entangle these state affairs in the court with him, and when she thought of Xia Yingxi's aggrieved appearance, she felt puzzled, and said directly: "You know that Princess Changting has no ordinary liking for you, so why don't you let her die to go to the Jin Kingdom?" Since you want to comfort her, why do you want Yingxi to see this scene? ”

"What about seeing? What does this king want to do, but he still has to look at other people's faces? Beigong Yu sneered.

He is the crown prince and the husband of her and Xia Yingxi, so naturally he doesn't care about their feelings. However, Beigong Yu can ignore her feelings, but he can't ignore Xia Yingxi, he was the one who brought her into the palace in the first place!

"The concubine thinks that at least the lingering night is different." Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him and said softly.

Beigong Yu also turned his head to look at her, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "She is indeed different. ”

The wind blew through the willow pavilion, the branches and leaves also danced, the bright moonlight, the orange and yellow palace lamps illuminated the long palace road outside the wall, and the shadows were long.

This night, Beigong Yu went to Shu Changhua.

Xia Xiaoxiao just walked the cat with a bun in her arms, and she could hear a burst of punctual panting that made her blush and heartbeat inside, screaming louder and louder, as if she would not be heard by others.

Some time ago, she was threatened by Beigong Yu with poisoning, and as soon as she got to bed, she forgot that Beigong Yu had thought about her life. Also, what's so bad about being pampered? Why do you have to hold grudges when you are unhappy?

Walking, after Shu Chang's painting, the sound of eardrum pain gradually became smaller, Xia Xiaoxiao put the bun on the ground and let it play by itself, took out the magnolia hairpin from his arms and faced the moon in the sky, there was a faint moonlight through the white jade magnolia above, the middle was clear and shining, Qingyue stood behind her, I don't know what she suddenly took out a hairpin to do, it didn't look like a valuable thing, Xia Xiaoxiao asked her: "Qingyue, stay in the palace for so many years, how are you doing?" ”

Qingyue's eyes ran and jumped along the bun all the way, and after thinking back to her life in the palace for so many years, she replied: "Before the mother entered the palace, the slave maid was a little girl who followed His Royal Highness to do chores, and her life was no different from that of ordinary palace maids, and she was quite passable. ”

"Fulfillment?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically, not minding that Qingyue was saying that she was not favored, and continued: "This palace doesn't feel fulfilled. ”

She closed one eye, and looked at the sky through the small piece of white jade in the Mulan hairpin, and the stars were shining.

"You've been in the palace for so many years, Qingyue, have you ever thought about leaving the palace?"

The sky above her head was like a dark blue cloth, sprinkled with white flowers and glittering gold and silver jewels, and it was full of money in her eyes.

Qingyue smiled noncommittally when she heard her ask, "Niangniang, the rules in the palace are that women enter the palace at the age of eighteen, and when they reach the age of twenty-five, they can leave the palace after fifteen years of service, but Qingyue is different, Qingyue's parents went early since she was a child, and she was sent to the palace before she remembered, and she didn't remember what the outside world was like, so it was better to just serve Niangniang all the time." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at her, she had never taken a good look at Qingyue before, and after looking at it carefully, she was also a beautiful woman with clear eyebrows, staring at the buns scratching the flowers on the ground with a gratifying smile on her lips, just like the moon in the breeze on a summer night.

Qingyue seems to be twenty years old this year, if such a woman is outside the palace, I am afraid that she has already found a good family to marry, and maybe she has her own children, but now she is saying in this deep palace that she has forgotten what it is like outside the palace, Xia Xiaoxiao has an indescribable sourness in her heart.

She put away the hairpin and held it in her hand, her fingertips traced the shape of the magnolia flower on it, staring at the hairpin in her hand stupidly, Qingyue didn't want to leave the palace, but she thought, she knew what the outside world looked like, there were delicious sugar gourds, good-looking clothes, fun spinning tops and slingshots, beautiful scenery, and all kinds of interesting people and things.

On that day, at the Falling Sky Cliff, she was tempted by what Luozhi said to her.
