"The county lord of Qingping County is the niece of the old queen, and she is not young, at least I have to call her sister."

When Zhao Changan heard this, he said in fear: "Your Majesty, the county lord has such a noble status, and the minister really can't afford it." ”

"What's so high about this, no matter how you say it, it's a marriage, you have to grasp it well, after a while, the lord of Xiangxiang will enter the palace, and when the two of you meet, if you look at each other right, then you can do this family business as soon as possible."

It's also strange that I haven't noticed your situation in the past few years, and now I plan for you, you won't blame me, right? ”

Zhao Changan retreated in fear, shook his head and said, "The minister is afraid, the emperor, don't say that." Qi Yan smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why be so nervous, I have always regarded you as a confidant, and I will definitely make decisions for you in your marriage."

Although this Xiangxiang County Lord is a little older, his character and appearance are one in a million, and I will definitely not treat you badly. ”

“……”

When Zhao Changan heard the age of the county lord of Xiangxiang, he really pinched a cold sweat in his heart, and actually asked him to marry an old woman, he was innocent and pretended to be high in front of outsiders, just to facilitate the flowers and grass outside, but he didn't expect to find him a county lord of Xiangxiang to contain him.

"Thank you to the emperor." Zhao Changan had a white face, but after all, he still stubbornly agreed to the marriage.

Just waiting for the so-called Xiangxiang County Lord to enter the palace and the two of them will meet, if the Xiangxiang County Lord is taking a fancy to him, it is estimated that this marriage will really be completed.

Zhaohua Palace.

Lu Xiyi's jade-faced hibiscus face showed a trace of impatience, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Bai Lan and said quite elegantly: "Actually, why is my sister worried so much, it is the emperor's intention to establish this prince or not, if the prince wants to establish a prince, why bother to delay it until today, does my sister really not understand the reason?" ”

Bai Lan was speechless, and a pair of eyes full of doubts were full of doubts. looked at Lu Xiyi, hoping to ask her for an answer.

Lu Xiyi's delicate red lips gently opened and said, "Anyway, you have served the emperor for so long, what is he thinking in his heart, sister, you should know very well."

The emperor doesn't want to set up a prince now, it's just that he feels that he is now in the prime of life and doesn't need to think about the prince, but this prince will be set up in the future just in case, and by the way, he will cultivate the prince's character, so that those ministers will no longer operate in the dark.

This is the true meaning of the prince, but our emperor is different, he feels that he is still young and does not need to be in such a hurry to prepare for the future. ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Lanmao suddenly opened, and the knot trapped in his heart was finally untied, and he thought that the emperor had always been more partial to Lu Xiyi's two sons, so he had been considering whether to make her son the crown prince.

Such words are really wronged, she deliberately sent people to spread some rumors in the palace, and the rumors were all aimed at Lu Xiyi, I am afraid that Lu Xiyi already knew, and all this she did seemed to be cocooning and disturbing herself.

"If my sister can be half as smart as my sister, I won't be so worried every day, then my sister said that if the emperor wants to consider the matter of establishing a prince in the future, then who will be the best candidate?"

Bai Lan looked at her, trying to find a trace of the answer from her expression, but Lu Xiyi's expression has always been inconspicuous, and a pair of elegant eyes can't see any emotion, and his expression is always faint.

With a soft smile between his eyebrows, Lu Xiyi slowly took her hand and said: "Sister, don't worry, the emperor has an idea, he doesn't like the women of the harem to speculate, and he doesn't like others chewing the root of his tongue behind his back."

Recently, the rumors in the palace have spread badly, and my sister must be careful not to be slandered by rumors. ”

Bai Lan's face became a little pale, the rumors were spread from the Zhaohua Palace, and those people were also ordered by her, could it be that Lu Xiyi deliberately said this to target her?

She smiled to hide her panic, and said seriously: "If this palace hears anyone say that my sister is not, this palace will definitely tear her mouth unceremoniously." ”

After that, I didn't forget to play a good show of sisterhood with her, Lu Xiyi looked at her lightly, with a smile on his face that was difficult to detect, glanced at the sky and said: "It's not too early, my sister will go back first." ”

"Sister send someone to send my sister!"

"No need, it's good outside, I want to be quiet and quiet."

"Good ......"

Lu Xiyi walked to the palace, Ding Lan and Jasmine behind her have always been inseparable, she looked at the two of them with some annoyance, always following her like a machine, and the two of them never heard her confide in her on weekdays. Lu Xiyi didn't dare to confide in the two, for fear that he would tell Qi Yan in the blink of an eye.

Came to the edge of the lotus pond, the nearby landscape is very graceful, looked at the pair of mandarin ducks in the center of the lake and said: "Do you see that pair of mandarin ducks?" You two go and catch them, and tonight the palace is going to eat roasted mandarin ducks. ”

Ding Lan and Jasmine looked at each other, and said in fear: "But Niangniang, it seems that the meat of this mandarin duck can't be eaten." ”

"This palace doesn't care, even if you can't eat it, you have to put it in the tourmaline palace to raise, this palace likes it, what are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and ask someone to find a way to salvage this pair of mandarin ducks!"

Ding Lan and Jasmine didn't dare to slack off, so the soldiers went to find people to help.

Lu Xiyi looked at the evening sunset was very wonderful, so he stood in the pavilion on the side, waiting for them to salvage the mandarin ducks, at this time, I don't know who handed over a handkerchief, just in the summer heat, he took the handkerchief without looking back, and there was a faint musk on the handkerchief.

"Who!"

Lu Xiyi reacted after realizing it, turned his head and saw that it was actually a little eunuch, Lu Xiyi didn't have to think about it, looking at his figure, he also knew that it was Zhong Yihan, turned his head and said, "What are you doing when you come out?" Later, if people see it, won't it reveal your identity? ”

"Afraid of what? I'm out to patrol the river, but there is something strange next to it, and the mother likes that pair of mandarin ducks? ”

Zhong Yihan had already heard what she had just said, so he waited for the people around her to leave, so he looked for an opportunity to come forward and talk to her.

"Yes, this palace wants to eat roasted mandarin ducks, don't you think that this palace's heart is vicious? Specializing in this kind of thing of beating mandarin ducks. Lu Xiyi's eyes flashed with resentment, and he looked at him quietly.

"The slave prefers to believe that Niangniang is not such a person, if Niangniang likes it, the slave will catch the mandarin duck and give it to Niangniang to enjoy." As soon as the words fell, Zhong Yihan ran to the side of the lake, and now there are many palace maids and eunuchs who are on the boat, just wanting to catch the pair of mandarin ducks.

Lu Xiyi watched quietly, holding the handkerchief and waving it from time to time.

"Caught, caught, caught!"

A few palace maids shouted loudly, but they didn't expect that it was a passing eunuch who caught the pair of mandarin ducks and presented them directly in front of Concubine Xi.

"The slave caught this pair of mandarin ducks, and asked Concubine Xi to reward them."
