"The crown prince murdered Xin Cairen and her heir in the womb, although the emperor's grandmother and father finally saved him, but the impression of not caring for his brothers and sisters has always remained." Gan Ran said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have given Shen Zhun such a high position in the future, and connived at Shen Shufei and Gan Tang to plot the storage position!" ”

At this moment, Su Ruhui also began to feel that it was not easy for Jiayi and Changtai to compromise, the crown prince is the trust of the society in the future, and he needs to pay special attention to it, but the other princes and grandsons are also their blood and blood after all, and they can't let the prince slaughter his brothers after succeeding to the throne?

"The Queen Mother indulged and even encouraged the Third Highness to cultivate strength to protect herself, so what about you? And the Four Highnesses? Su Ruhui frowned and said, "For the sake of His Royal Highness, Concubine Yu willingly gave him to Concubine De to borrow Concubine De to protect him, but the Queen Mother didn't seem to agree with it...... Could it be that the third highness will protect you and the fourth highness in the future? ”

Gan Ran pondered for a moment, and said: "The imperial grandmother is only afraid that there are other arrangements for the fourth child, and the low-ranking concubines in the palace who are now pregnant have Cui Yu's wife and Xu Baolin, if they give birth to princesses, it would be fine, if they are princes, such a young age...... I'm afraid that the imperial grandmother will be even more worried, and I want to keep Concubine De to take over these small ones. ”

"And the six highnesses in the palace." Su Ruhui reminded, "Although His Royal Highness No. 6 did not grow up in the palace, in the end, he is also a royal bloodline, and Concubine Hui's position and family background are not bad. ”

"The sixth child is growing up in the palace, so he will be safer." Gan Ran said, "Otherwise, why did Concubine Hui take him out of the palace back then?" It wasn't for the emperor's grandmother and father who grew up beside him, and the holy family was always worse. ”

Su Ruhui suddenly said: "What we are discussing now is Xiao Huo's family. ”

Gan Ran was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes." After a pause, he said, "The imperial grandmother loves Xiao Huo so much, and intends to make her worthy of being the crown princess, then Xiao Huo's identity must be twofold, the first is harmless or even beneficial to the community, and the second is ...... It has a lot of connections with the imperial grandmother! ”

"In addition to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is the only one who is the eldest princess of Yiyuan......" Su Ruhui hesitated for a moment, and finally mentioned it, but Gan Ran shook his head and said: "You are not from the royal family, I don't know what the imperial aunt of Yiyuan looks like...... The imperial aunt and the queen mother were born very similarly, and the county lord of Kangyue was a few years older than the imperial aunt, when the county lord of Kangyue married, the imperial aunt was still young, and when Xiao Huo was born, the imperial aunt had been in Qiu Di thousands of miles away for more than ten years, besides, if Xiao Huo's family is really the daughter of Qiu Di's right Dan Yu and Shu Ping's sister, the imperial grandmother can directly find an excuse, such as a marriage match to take her back...... Qiu Di has always paid little attention to women. ”

Su Ruhui really couldn't figure it out this time: "Then ......" They were avoiding the eyes of others at the moment, and chose a hidden pavilion by the Taiye Pool to talk, the cold wind on the Taiye Pool in winter, few people came nearby, Su Ruhui just said a word, through the window, in the distance outside the pavilion, suddenly there was a cry for help!

Both of them were taken aback, looked at each other, and both stood up.

Gan Ran made a silent gesture to her, walked gently to the side where the sound was coming from, opened a slight window slit, and looked out. At this look, his face changed suddenly!

Su Ruhui was next to her, and when she saw this, she hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone has fallen into the lake!"

“…… What the? Su Ruhui was stunned, this is the second time she has seen someone fall into the lake since the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Changtai, and now although it is not the first month, it is the wax moon! It's still snowing outside!

She took a deep breath: "Who is it?" ”

"I don't know, it's too far away to see clearly." Gan Ran frowned, walked to the door, took the coat and put it on for her, and advised, "You go back first, and when you go away, I'll take a look." ”

While letting him tie his cloak, Su Ruhui asked, "Can you see the color of your clothes?" ”

"It's quite gorgeous, I want to be a palace maid in the palace, or a concubine?" Gan Ran said, "Don't worry about it, when you come in from below, the path to Lanqiu Palace will be said, and you will come out to see the snow, and I will go to see it after a cup of tea." ”

A cup of tea, at this time, there is no one by the Taiye pool, if the person who fell into the lake is unlucky, he is afraid that he will freeze to death if he does not drown. But Su Ruhui knew that if the two of them rushed over to save people immediately, even if no one else saw it, the rescued people might not keep it a secret for them.

After hesitating, Su Ruhua said, "Be careful!" After thinking about it, he was not at ease, and reminded, "If you are not sure, don't go down to the lake to save people." ”

"Go down to the lake to save people?" Gan Ran was surprised and said, "There are not many people in this palace who are worthy of me to save, at most I will ask Gonggong Liu to call the guards." ”

Su Ruhui was relieved at this time, shook hands with him, turned around and stepped out of the pavilion door, and left in a hurry with floating water.

The two of them walked far away in one breath under the cover of the rockery bushes, and then they stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, the wind and cold of the floating water were good, their cheeks were red, and their panting was rough, Su Ruhui said: "Let's slow down and take a rest." ”

"Hmm." Fushui wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and looked around, "Miss, let's go over there and hide under the corridor, and wait for the footprints behind us to be covered by snow, and then go to Lanqiu Palace?" ”

Su Ruhui nodded, the two waited under the corridor for a while, the snow gradually became heavier, Su Ruhui frowned and said: "This snow is too big, let's go to Lanqiu Palace earlier, the left and right footprints will be covered." ”

In this way, the two of them hurriedly arrived in front of Lanqiu Palace, although they held an umbrella, Su Ruhui's shoulders were still covered with snow, Ping'er came out and saw it, and said in surprise: "How did Miss Su make it like this?" Come in and warm up! ”

Su Ruhui stomped off the snow on her boots at the entrance of the hall, and said with a wry smile: "I want to come out to enjoy the snow today, and by the way, I came to ask the master to say goodbye. ”

Ping'er chuckled: "Good young lady, don't you hurt you as a mother?" With such a heavy snowfall, you go to fold plum blossoms, and the mother will blame you! Saying a finger to the palace, "Two days ago, His Majesty also asked someone to send two pots of begonias to the mother to enjoy, and there was another narcissus under the window, which opened when the room was full of fragrance, and if the plum blossoms were folded, they would wash the fragrance." ”

While Su Ruhui was talking to her, Ping'er had already asked the little palace maid to take the dust to sweep the snow chips all over her body for her, and then she entered the hall, which was warm and fragrant, Ping'er took off her clothes for her with her own hands, and saw Liu Xiuyi sitting on it, wearing only half-old clothes, and when she saw her come in, she said with concern: "The snow is so big, why did you run over?" ”

Su Ruhui stepped forward and said with a smile: "It is Xue Da who wants to hide from the master." ”

Liu Xiuyi nodded and said, "You happened to be here, there was a snack being made in the small kitchen, which was a sweet chestnut cake." ”

"It can be seen that the disciple has a blessed mouth." Su Ruhua saluted, Liu Xiuyi asked her to sit down, and asked, "You don't have to accompany the Queen Mother today?" ”

Su Ruhui sighed: "After lunch, the Queen Mother said that she was tired, and she didn't even want us to serve tonight's dinner." ”

"I think it's because the eldest princess of Guangyi is returning to Ning, the queen mother is happy and ruthless, and now she is tired." Liu Xiuyi said, "Is the eldest princess in Qutai Palace now?" ”

"Yes, when the disciple came out, he seemed to see Fang Chongrong's ceremony in front of Qutai Palace." Su Ruhui said casually.

As soon as her words fell, Liu Xiuyi had already looked at her deeply, as if she had said unintentionally: "Fang Chongrong came to invite the palace to go with her for two hours, and the palace was a little unhappy and resigned, so she went alone, Qibao Palace to Qutai Palace, but half an hour away, even if you add the time to go back from the palace to reply, one hour is enough...... In this cold and snowy world, you have been out there for an hour? ”

Su Ruhui was startled, looked up, but saw that after Liu Xiuyi finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and ordered the chestnut cake to be brought up. She suppressed her heart and thumped, and said with a reluctant smile: "The master didn't say it, the disciple really didn't think it, but it took so much time to watch while walking." ”

"In the end, it's a girl's house, it's better not to touch things that are cold in winter." Liu Xiuyi said lightly, "Otherwise, it won't be good to fall into the root of the disease." Said as if he sighed, "You were born in the imperial capital and don't know that Donghu is bitterly cold, so many people are heirs, especially women......" While speaking, Liu Xiuyi seemed to glance at the direction of Pinglan Pavilion at random, and stopped talking.

Su Ruhui was surprised: "But what's wrong with Xu Baolin?" ”

"Although Xu is pregnant for the first time, he is inevitably anxious, and he likes to think about things, but he is young in the end." Liu Xiuyi touched the tea bowl and said indifferently, "This palace has instructed the Tai Hospital to come to consult every day, and now the Xu family is relieved, but she always wants to go out for a walk on this snowy day, and this palace is worried about the heir and detains her in the Pinglan Pavilion, so she has a little misunderstanding." ”

Su Ruhui comprehended: "The master has a loving heart, Xu Baolin is too pampered, the queen mother likes the prosperity of the heirs the most, and yesterday she also mentioned to the eldest princess Guangyi a few pregnant mothers in the palace, if the queen mother knows, I am afraid it will make her angry." ”

Liu Xiuyi said: "The Queen Mother is tired now, and she shouldn't let her old man know about reasoning, so as not to be upset, but I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will be easy to think about it when she hears discussions from elsewhere." ”

"Master rest assured, go to the Detai Hall tomorrow, and the disciple will definitely tell the queen mother about the master's difficulties." Su Ruhui didn't expect that she wanted to use Liu Xiuyi as a shield, but Liu Xiuyi also had something to entrust her, but the Xu family's lineage was not as good as Liu Xiuyi, and the last time she asked Liu Xiuyi to help pass the word to Wudehou's mansion, although she gave away a jade pendant, she owed a favor, and this matter was not difficult for her, so she readily agreed.

At this time, the steaming chestnut cake was being served, and the palace maid held the water in front of her hand and tasted it separately, but the plate in front of Su Ruhui was just sweet, and she couldn't help but praise: "Master, this chestnut cake seems to be made specifically for disciples." ”

When Liu Xiuyi heard this, she glanced at her with a smile, and Su Ruhui suddenly understood, if she didn't come today, then it was probably Ping'er who went to her by sending chestnut cakes, which was also a coincidence.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, sandwiched in the heavy snow, and a voice that Su Ruhua was slightly familiar with and Liu Xiuyi was extremely familiar with was particularly high-pitched, and Liu Xiuyi suddenly frowned!
