Concubine Qi led the concubines in the East Palace early in the morning and waited for the prince to return to the palace.

As soon as Li Chun returned to the East Palace, Concubine Qi asked busily: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened to Your Majesty in the palace?" ”

"Father naturally has nothing to do, I heard that you are praying for your father in the East Palace, it is also hard, and you all go back to rest."

Concubine Qi could see the tiredness on Li Chun's face, said goodbye, and led the concubines to retreat in order.

Qingyi was the lowest among the concubines, so she waited for the person in front of her to leave and then withdrew, but as soon as she left her seat, she felt that her knees were as if she had lost her strength, and she fell straight down.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhenyun, who was walking in front of Qingyi, hurriedly went to support Qingyi, and was concerned: "It's okay." ”

Qi Yun and Lianshui supported Qingyi together, and Li Chun sat on the top and witnessed everything in his eyes, not feeling slightly frowned.

Out of instinct, he wanted to leave his seat and step forward to support him, but his body had already left his seat, but he sat down again, and looked coldly at Qingyi being supported by several people.

"Thank you, sister, the concubine is fine." Qingyi smiled at Zhenyun, showing her gratitude.

Ji Yun also threw a gentle smile at Qingyi.

Li Chun sat on the top, but his tone was cold: "What? Is it to pray for his father's blessing and feel tired and want to be lazy? ”

Qingyi was already in knee pain, but she was kindly helped up by Qi Yun, and she felt a little warm in her heart, and Li Chun's words were splashed on her like a basin of ice water.

She was full of temperament, but her face was deferential and gentle, and she said, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

Li Chun still didn't have a good face, and said to Qi Yun: "What's the matter with you here, hurry back to your own room!" ”

Zhenyun was already timid and hurriedly retired.

Li Chun looked at Qingyi's painful expression, his eyebrows were unbearable, and then he looked indifferent again, and his tone was also scolding: "If you can't walk, go back quickly, save yourself from being embarrassed here!" ”

He said to An Zhi behind him, "Go and pass a sedan chair." ”

An Zhi went, but Qingyi refused: "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, the concubine is a cheap life, so she is naturally unworthy." ”

Li Chun looked at Qingyi, his eyes were full of disbelief and annoyance, but he didn't show it on his face, pretending to be tough and said: "The palace said to let you go back in a sedan chair, and you can go back in a sedan chair!" There is no right for you to speak here! ”

Qingyi had to listen to Li Chun's words and obediently got into the sedan chair.

After Qingyi left, Li Chun let go of the anger on his face, and the old Gui He on the side saw it, and only stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Highness, why is this?" Mrs. Zhang is also innocent. ”

Li Chun replied angrily: "Innocent? How could she be innocent? It's just a. ”

Gui He shook his head: "What His Royal Highness said, Mrs. Zhang is a cheap maid, what has become of the slaves?" It's just that the slave and maid watched, although His Royal Highness disliked Mrs. Zhang, but His Highness cared about Mrs. Zhang! ”

Li Chun vigorously denied it: "Joke, how can I care about her?" It's because of ...... For the sake of the emperor's great-grandmother. ”

Gui He laughed even more.

She is the prince's nursing mother, since the prince was born, she has been by his side, after years of getting along, she knows the prince very well, she looked at it coldly, the prince's attitude towards Qingyi, naturally has a little clear in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Zhang was punished by Mrs. Li for kneeling, and then followed to the Buddhist hall to pray for blessings, there is naturally an injury on the knee, it is better for the slave to send someone to send some medicine to Mrs. Zhang."

Li Chun replied angrily: "If you want to send it yourself, what are you going to do in the palace?" ”

Gui He smiled, didn't pay attention to Li Chun, and went down.

Li Chun watched Gui He leave, then turned around and entered the inner hall, picked up a copy of the Book of Songs on the bookshelf, turned a page and read it.

It's just that his mood is already disordered at the moment, and he can't read it, so he flips it at will, and it happens to turn to the "Qi Ao" article in Wei Feng: such as cutting, such as learning, such as grinding.

Reading the poems, Li Chun's mind became more and more unable to calm down.

Yes, it's just because I've had too many things lately? Li Chun thought.

is about to choose a concubine, his father is seriously ill, and the left minister is in power...... It's all a headache for him, not to mention that this East Palace is not peaceful. From the moment he entered the East Palace, the peace of the East Palace was completely broken.

Li Chun tried to empty himself, but his thoughts drifted uncontrollably to Qingyi.

She's such a strange woman.

Since she entered the East Palace, Li Chun deliberately ignored her and never went to see her, but the woman seemed to be completely indifferent, never asked to see her, and in the face of his occasional ridicule, she only suffered calmly, as if he was an insignificant existence.

For the first time, Qingyi's image of greedy vanity slowly faded in his mind.

On the other side, Qingyi returned to his residence, thinking about the words and attitudes of the crown prince Li Chun alone, when the voice of the announcement came from outside the door.

Gui He came to deliver medicine to Qingyi.

Gui He saluted Qingyi and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that the lady has an injury to her knee, so he sent a slave to bring some medicine to the lady, and it is the best to treat the injury on the knee." ”

Qingyi smiled and said to Gui He: "Gui He has worked hard, it's just ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so kind, and he even bothered you to bring me medicine! ”

Gui He was a little embarrassed, so he explained for Li Chun: "The lady thinks it was a misunderstanding, His Royal Highness has been ill for two days, and it is inevitable that he will be unwell, and his temperament will naturally be bigger." His Royal Highness is also because of his closeness to the lady, so he is a little angry with you, and please don't take the lady to heart. ”
