The voice was soft and delicate, passing through the glazed tiles of the East Palace that were dazzling by the sun, wrapped in cotton and bouncing on people's bodies, making Su Qiang feel a layer of pimples.

She looked up at the prince and saw Li Cong standing under the flower tree with a playful smile and walked over slowly. Qu Fang followed behind the crown prince with a smile on his face. But his smile is the kind of smile that makes him feel relaxed because he is familiar with this kind of scene.

Looking at the palace servants and maidservants who were hiding on the side, no one showed a shocked expression like her.

It seems that this Zheng Shuwei is like this when he sees the prince.

"When did Lord Hewei come? After staying in the south for a long time, this palace thought that you would not come back. Li Cong rarely showed a soft smile on his face, stretched out his hand, and helped Zheng Shu up slightly.

Like climbing Su Qiang's arm, Zheng Shuwei also stood up with Li Cong's arm around him, and the whole person almost stuck to Li Cong's body before he stood firm.

Su Qiang looked at the two of them with interest, considering whether she should let them go outside the wall and leave enough space for them.

"I rushed to attend the prince's brother's wedding, but I was delayed on the way, and the prince's brother doesn't blame me." Saying that, he looked at Su Qiang with a pair of eyes and said: "The sister-in-law that my brother married is so beautiful, but unfortunately I haven't moved around before, and now it's a family, so I often come to see my sister-in-law, okay?" Is my sister-in-law annoying? ”

There's nothing to worry about, and besides, she's just having a private meeting with the prince under the guise of coming to see her. Su Qiang thought in her heart, maybe with her presence, it would be easier for her to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate the prince.

Thinking of this, Su Qiang laughed, and saw that the prince was looking at her, as if he was waiting for her answer, so Shi Shiran said: "My sister trekked back, and it was the time to nourish her body. ”

Do you really want to refuse? A cold color crossed Zheng Shu's slightly expectant eyes.

Su Qiang continued: "Although the weather is warm now, those who come out and go in are always susceptible to cold. ”

The prince's bright eyes narrowed slightly, waiting for Su Qiang to speak.

"So-" Su Qiang had already walked over and approached Zheng Shuwei and said, "It's better for the palace to let someone pick up a courtyard, buy a soft shop with furniture that my sister likes, and live in the East Palace." ”

She had a sincere smile on her face, and there was even a hint of antipathy in her eyes. Zheng Shu stayed in place slightly, forgetting for a moment whether to agree or refuse.

Although she and the prince are brother and sister in name, they are not related by blood at all, so they need to avoid suspicion. She said this and showed intimacy, just to make Su Qiang jealous in her heart, and behaving inappropriately, she gave her subordinates a narrow-minded mouth.

But now that she is invited, if she agrees, she will be ridiculed for ignoring the defense of men and women. If she refused, it was as if what she had said before was insincere.

After Su Qiang finished saying this, she just stood quietly, with a beautiful arc raised at the corner of her mouth, waiting for her to speak.

Li Cong pursed the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "Just move around more, the trivial matters in the East Palace are complicated, and it is not suitable for raising one's body." ”

How do I see you panicking every day?

Su Qiang secretly glanced at Li Cong, took a step back and bent her knees: "The concubine is not thoughtful, and I hope the prince will forgive me." His Royal Highness and the county lord have not seen each other for many days, and the concubine went to order the kitchen to prepare food, so as not to disturb the two of them to catch up. ”

After speaking, he smiled and nodded to Zheng Shuwei, and then disappeared outside the Moon Gate with a group of people.

The small courtyard of Dongnuan Pavilion suddenly became much empty.

Involuntarily, Li Cong looked in the direction where Su Qiang had disappeared.

When he turned around, he saw Zheng Shuwei looking at him with tenderness and sweetness.

It's stupid too.

He said in his heart.

Are you trying to get angry with Su Qiang in just a few words? You don't know, her interest in me is only how to kill me.

Thinking of this, he turned around and ordered: "Bu wine and food, this palace will personally catch the wind for the lord of Weijun." ”

The people around him smiled even more happily, and the delicate red showed from the face that had been rubbed with lead powder.

In order to show intimacy, three people are seated at a table.

This is the first time Su Qiang has sat at a table with the prince to eat. The chefs in the East Palace are all carefully selected, but the prince is cautious, and everything in today's dishes has to be tested for poison, and most of them have missed the most delicious temperature when they enter it.

Su Qiang felt that it was better to eat it herself.

Originally, she had already found an excuse to turn off this family banquet, but the prince personally sent Qu Fang to the dormitory to invite her. The posture is so big that it seems to be tied to her. She had no choice but to come over, drinking and eating food, while listening to Zheng Shuwei talk to the prince about interesting things about their youth.

Two poor children who are trapped in the palace and watch the square above their heads grow up every day, what interesting things to talk about.

Zheng Shuwei was talking about the fact that they entered the study and the rat bit the painting of the prince, and said that the flowers and branches trembled and the whole person fell into the prince's arms. The prince listened with great interest, although he did not agree, but he was also slightly pulled by Zheng Shu.

Su Qiang quietly reached out and stroked her stomach, she was really full.

was thinking about what excuse to slip away, and heard that Zheng Shuwei had already pulled the topic to himself.

"Won't it be boring for my sister-in-law to stay in the East Palace all day, a few sisters in the capital are going to play, if the prince's brother is willing to let go, is my sister-in-law willing to come?"

Su Qiang was not interested at all, but she wanted to know what Zheng Shuwei was selling, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zheng Shu covered his mouth slightly and smiled: "Watching the play and listening to the music, can my sister-in-law go?" ”

I heard that Su Qiang is a boring person, and he never takes half a step out of the gate of Shangshu Mansion on weekdays, and he doesn't have any friends in Beijing. Although he is married now, he must not dare to go out to watch a play and listen to a tune.

"Yes." Su Qiang fell sharply.

Zheng Shuwei's words of persuasion stuck in his throat, and he coughed and wanted to pick up the wine glass on the table, but found that the glass was empty.

Before she could raise her head, the maid who served her had already stepped forward to add wine to her.

After Su Qiang finished speaking, she still held the silver dish in her right hand, and put down her wine glass with her left hand.

There was the sound of the palace maid's skirt rubbing against her ears, and a slender shadow was cast onto the walls of the palace by the lamp. Su Qiang raised her eyes slightly.

In an instant, accompanied by the exclamation of the palace maid, a pot of wine fell from the top of his head. At the same time, the palace maid fell down.

An almost instinctive reaction.

Su Qiang had already turned sideways to avoid the fallen palace maid, and slammed into the side with a fist with her left hand. With a snap, the shattered wine jug flew in the direction of Li Cong.

More exclamations rang out, and the chamberlains flocked to Li Cong. Li Cong was pounced on by the palace maid who fell to the ground, and seemed to struggle hard to get out, until the chamberlain pulled the palace maid aside, and he was slowly helped up.

He looked at Su Qiang's fist, which was still paused in mid-air, and was about to ask, when he saw Su Qiang suddenly cover his hand and say, "What fell on my hand, it hurts!" ”
