It was noon and the sky was clear.

Xiao Quanzi, the chief eunuch, led four little eunuchs with dishes in their hands, and was walking briskly towards the imperial garden.

"Why does the emperor suddenly want to have lunch in the imperial garden?"

"I don't know!"

"What's so strange about eating in the Imperial Garden? It's not all the same. ”

"It's rare and weird, we still care so much about the emperor's meal."

The four little eunuchs are talking to each other.

Xiao Quanzi had a gloomy face and scolded in a low voice: "You all shut up for me, tell you, the emperor is in a very bad mood today, he got very angry in the morning, and in the room of the Qianqing Palace, he smashed all the things to a pulp, take care of your mouths, don't cause trouble!" ”

When Xiao Quanzi finished saying this, he recalled the scene when Princess Qingtian spoke angrily to him in the room of Qianqing Palace, and he still had palpitations at the moment.

The four little eunuchs were very obedient, and when they were scolded by Xiao Quanzi like this, they immediately became honest.

Walk through the crescent gate and into the Imperial Garden.

Xiao Quanzi saw that Princess Qingtian and her new maid Xiaokui were in the pavilion.

He led the four little eunuchs into the pavilion quickly, and laid the wine and food on the stone table one by one.

Princess Qingtian immediately instructed him: "Go and call Su Zecai over and tell him that I want to have lunch with him here." ”

"Yes." Xiao Quanzi answered, and led the four little eunuchs to turn around and leave.

Princess Qingtian called softly: "Little Aoi." ”

"The slave is here!" Xiao Aoi, the maid standing behind her, immediately responded.

Xiaokui is sixteen or seventeen years old, petite and cute.

When she approached Princess Qingtian, she looked very nervous, as if she was afraid of Princess Qingtian.

It's no wonder that she is not like Princess Qingtian's former maid Reika after all.

Lian Xiang was serving Princess Qing when she was not yet the emperor, and she had been following her master for a long time, so her relationship was naturally good.

Xiaokui just followed Princess Qingtian, and the reason why she was afraid of Princess Qingtian was not because she was afraid of life, but because she was afraid of people.

Although they are all women, Princess Qingtian is the king of a country in the end, the dignified emperor, she is a humble little maid, and she is new, as the so-called companion is like a tiger, she is naturally afraid.

Princess Qingtian sensed Aoi's fear, as she trembled.

Princess Qingtian thought it was funny and deliberately asked, "What's wrong?" Xiaokui, it's just autumn, do you feel cold? ”

Xiao Kui hurriedly shook her head: "Back to the emperor, no, no." ”

Princess Qingtian asked, "Since it's not cold, what are you shivering about?" ”

"Slave, this ......" Xiaokui panicked, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and her body trembled even more.

Princess Qingtian turned her head to look at her, and said in a very gentle tone: "You seem to be afraid of me?" ”

Xiao Aoi said incoherently: "No...... It's ......"

Princess Qingtian bluffed: "Is it or not?" ”

Xiao Kui was frightened, and knelt on the ground with her legs bent: "It is the honor of the slave to be able to serve the emperor, and the slave and maid must do their best to serve the emperor!" ”

"Get up, get up." Princess Qingtian helped her up and held her hands, "Look at you like this, what are you afraid of doing like this?" I won't eat you again, you, just like when Lianxiang first started to serve me, I was a naughty and willful princess at that time, and it was even more difficult to wait! ”

Xiao Kui heard Princess Qingtian say so kindly, so she raised her head and looked at her with a smile.

Princess Qingtian smiled happily at this time, and reached out and gently pinched Xiaokui's face: "That's right, how cute it is to laugh." ”

Xiao Kui smiled: "Thank you for the emperor's love, the slave will definitely serve the emperor well in the future." ”

Princess Qingtian seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to be saying to Xiaokui: "A lifetime is so long, have you ever loved someone this year?" ”

Xiao Kui couldn't hear it clearly, and looked at Princess Qingtian blankly.

Princess Qingtian said again: "I loved, it was Su Zecai." ”

Xiao Kui couldn't help but laugh to herself: "It turns out that the emperor is dreaming of spring and talking about love!" ”

While the two were talking and laughing, they saw that Su Zecai was already coming to meet them.

Xiao Kui bowed and saluted: "Su Gongzi Jin'an!" ”

"Hmm." Su Zecai answered, and sat down generously in front of Princess Qingtian.

Princess Qingtian waved her hand: "Xiaokui, you go down first!" ”

"Yes." Xiao Kui nodded a little and walked out of the gazebo.

Su Zecai smiled and asked, "Why do you want to have lunch here?" ”

"Isn't it the same everywhere? As long as it's a good place. Princess Qingtian said, picked up the flask and poured him a glass of wine, poured a glass herself, and then raised her glass, "Come, let's have a toast first." ”

Su Zecai raised his wine glass and looked at her, feeling that her expression was a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart.

Hasn't she always been quirky?

"!" He clinked glasses with her and drank them all.

After drinking it, Princess Qingtian looked at him affectionately, and said affectionately: "Do you like me?" ”

What are these words?

She...... Don't you want to kiss yourself again?

Su Zecai smiled awkwardly: "What nonsense are you talking about?" The day after tomorrow, we are going to visit the church to get married, what do you like or not, don't be naughty, don't tease me. ”

Princess Qingtian suddenly looked pained, and she seemed to beg: "Please tell me, do you like me?" ”

Su Zecai obviously felt that something was wrong with her, so she asked with great concern, "What's wrong with you?" What's weird? ”

Princess Qingtian still had a begging tone, and asked again: "Please tell me, do you like me?" ”

Su Zecai saw that she asked strange questions again and again, so she had to answer: "Of course I like it!" ”

Princess Qingtian asked again, "Do you love me?" ”

Su Zecai replied very affirmatively: "Of course love!" ”

Princess Qingtian asked again, "Will you marry me?" ”

Su Zecai did not hesitate: "Of course it will!" ”

Princess Qingtian smiled, smiled very sweetly, and seemed to be very bitter, in short, very weird.

Su Zecai looked at her blankly, a little overwhelmed.

He asked himself, "What the hell is wrong with her today?" ”

Princess Qingtian suddenly smiled, looked at him seriously, and said in a deep voice: "I have something very important to tell you!" ”

Su Zecai seemed to realize that something bad had happened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your mother and your sister, they, are missing!" Princess Qingtian's words were full of pain and helplessness.

"Smack!"

"What did you say?" Su Zecai stood up in shock, with a face full of anger in horror.

Princess Qingtian comforted him softly: "Don't worry, sit down first, and listen to me tell you the ins and outs of the matter." ”

Su Zecai took a few deep breaths, slowly exhaled, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and sat back on the stone bench.

Princess Qingtian said solemnly: "The Praetorian Guards guarding my mother's cemetery and the Praetorian Guards guarding your mother's sister were all poisoned when they were ugly today, and this situation was discovered by other Praetorian Guards who patrolled nearby after dawn, and they told my brother-in-law after they found out, and my brother-in-law told me before, and I will tell you now." ”

Su Zecai asked the reason: "How were those Praetorian Guards poisoned?" ”

Princess Qingtian replied, "They drank poisonous wine. ”

"Any clues?"

"Brother-in-law suspects that it was your mother's former minister's henchmen who did it, and your mother and sister were rescued."

"Really?"

"There is a high probability that all the Praetorian Guards have been poisoned, and only your mother and sister are missing, so it is very likely that they were rescued!"

Su Zecai cried with a sad face, pulled his hair in pain, and remained silent.

Princess Qingtian also had a bitter face, and comforted him: "Zecai ......"

Before she finished speaking, Su Zecai stood up suddenly: "I'll go first, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

dropped the words, and without waiting for Princess Qingtian to react, he said to leave.

"Zecai!" Princess Qingtian called him sadly.

"What's the matter?" The other had walked out of the pavilion and stopped at the sound, but did not look back at her.

Princess Qingtian said with some tears: "The day after tomorrow, we will get married, right?" ”

Su Zecai replied categorically: "I'm sorry, I think it's better to find my mother and sister first, and then talk about getting married later!" I don't want to have love, but I lose my family, this is not the happiness I want! ”

Let's go.

Su Zecai left without looking back.

Princess Qingtian looked at his fading back, with a painful expression on her face, and sat still, crying silently......
