"Mother, the slave really doesn't feel worth it for you......"

As soon as he returned to the palace, Tingmei said with an indignant face: "You and Concubine Rou are on the same concubine position, why do you have to bow down in front of her?" Besides, she is a bad one, the slave and maid look at it, even Princess Jingyi is not as good! ”

"You know what."

Concubine Jia sneered, picked up the teacup, brushed the tea that had been stretched out on it, and said lightly: "Concubine Rou has no children under her knees, only Princess Jingyi, if she uses it well, it will naturally be our help......"

Speaking of this, Concubine Jia took a sip of tea lightly and muttered, "It's still comfortable to drink the tea from our Cloud Palace!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a rush of footsteps, Concubine Jia raised her eyebrows, raised her eyes, and saw that Chu Linghong, the second prince born to herself, ran in sweating profusely.

"Erchen greets my mother!"

Chu Linghong hurriedly saluted, then came to Concubine Jia's side with a smile, buried his head on Concubine Jia's knees, and said proudly: "Mother, I was just performing in the martial arts arena, and my son was praised by his father, saying that the prince's brother was too weak, not as good as his son, and he also said that his son had the demeanor of his father back then!" ”

Chu Linghong is a few months older than Jing Yuan, and now he is fifteen years old, and it is the time when he is half the eldest child, so he just came back from the martial arts arena, and he can't wait to share the good news with Concubine Jia.

Concubine Jia's eyes lit up, and a pair of soft lids gently stroked Chu Linghong's hair: "But really? Did your father really say that? ”

"Is that still fake? The courtiers below also complimented, but the mother concubine was relieved, and the son also knew in his heart that it was probably because his uncle was about to return to the court, so he changed his way to make his son happy......

Chu Linghong wrinkled his nose, and added a sentence later: "But the prince's brother is indeed too weak, but after riding a tea horse, he is tired and panting, no wonder my father doesn't like ......"

As soon as these words came out, the light in Concubine Jia's eyes dimmed suddenly.

After a few breaths, Concubine Jia sighed: "What if your father doesn't like it?" After all, he is the concubine of the middle palace and the crown prince...... Hong'er, in front of outsiders, you must remember to be respectful to your prince and brother, and you must not let people make mistakes, you know? ”

"Erchen understands, the concubine can rest assured."

Chu Linghong nodded absently, got up, grabbed the snack on the plate and was about to send it to his mouth.

"Look at my son's memory!"

Before the dim sum could be swallowed, Chu Linghong suddenly patted his head and hurriedly said to Concubine Jia: "The son almost forgot the most important thing, the father and the emperor just asked the son to come and tell the mother concubine, the father will come to the Cloud Palace for dinner tonight!" ”

"Really?"

Concubine Jia stood up suddenly, her face was overjoyed, and without waiting for Chu Linghong to answer, she hurriedly began to think about what meals to prepare for the evening.

After thinking for a while, Concubine Jia's heart suddenly moved, and she looked at Chu Linghong with some emotion and said in a low voice: "Hong'er, you are really the only hope for the mother concubine, in the future, in front of your father, remember to be well-behaved, only if you are valued by your father, the mother concubine can straighten her waist in this palace......"

"The son will definitely fight for his mother!"

Chu Linghong clenched his hands into fists and nodded seriously.

Inside the Huayang Palace.

"Really? The news from Limo Palace really said that Jing Yuan was unwell and on bed rest? ”

Hurriedly leaving Princess Jingyi's Yuhe Palace, Concubine Rou returned to her Huayang Palace, and when she heard the news that the little eunuch sent out was going back and forth to Limo Palace, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Back to Niangniang's words, it's true!"

The little eunuch was a little unsure, but he also told Concubine Rou everything he knew.

"Hahaha, God really treats me well!"

Concubine Rou stood up from her chair with an excited face, pacing her steps, her eyes full of calculations.

Xichun, the personal palace maid, glanced at the little eunuch, and the little eunuch understood, hurriedly saluted, and retreated.

"Mother, don't you want to ......?"

After serving Concubine Rou for so many years, Xichun can naturally figure out a thing or two about this master's thoughts, so she tentatively asked in Concubine Rou's ear.

"Hmph, this is really 'there is a way in heaven and she doesn't go, and hell has no way to break in', Jingyuan's dead girl hurt our Jingyi so miserably, and the emperor protects her partially, isn't this palace allowed to seek justice for her daughter?!"

A cold light flashed in Concubine Rou's eyes, thinking of Jing Yi's unsightly appearance now, she felt even more angry in her heart, and she couldn't wait to break Jing Yuan's corpse into ten thousand pieces.

"What do you want to do, mother? Or ......"

After a pause, Xichun said with some hesitation: "Why don't we tell the emperor about this?" If the princess sneaks out of the palace without permission, she can also charge the queen mother with a crime of lax discipline, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone......"

"You know what!"

Concubine Rou snorted coldly, and happened to pace in front of a pot of peonies that the queen had just rewarded in the spring, and without thinking about it, she cut off the stem of the peony with her fingernails, and the peony flower that had been carefully cared for fell to the ground at once.

Xichun was shocked for a while, but she was also a little overwhelmed.

I saw Concubine Rou step on the peony flower with one foot, and twist it lightly with her foot, and the flowers that were originally blooming well fell into mud.

"Since you have such a great opportunity, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to just report to the emperor?"

Concubine Rou's face was full of cruelty, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me that it's best to let Jingyuan's dead girl die outside to my liking!" In this way, the Luo family can be dragged into the water, I want to see, if something like this happens, can the queen still get along with the Luo family without any trouble?! ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice again, and commanded a few words in Xichun's ear, and Xichun retreated with a complicated face......

"Ahh

said that Jing Yuan, who was already outside the palace, sneezed twice in a row, which attracted frequent sideways glances from Luo Changan's brothers and sisters.

"Princess, you don't think you're suffering from a cold, are you?"

Luo Changle glanced at Luo Changan with some apprehension, and asked Jingyuan in a low voice.

"No, no, it's not cold at all today, how can you get a wind chill!"

Jing Yuan didn't care about dealing with Luo Changle, and his two eyes kept looking at the dazzling objects on the street.

"If anything goes wrong with the princess, I'll see what you do!"

Luo Changan glared at Luo Changle, and couldn't help but say a few words: "You are also a little bolder, and you dare to sneak out of the palace without permission!" If the emperor and the queen mother know, I'm afraid neither of you will be able to escape! ”

"Oh, big brother, now that we're out, you're still muttering here, aren't you afraid of ruining the princess's interest?"

Luo Changle said unconvinced: "It's good that you can see new things outside every day, but we are trapped in the inner courtyard of the deep house, how unfair?" ”

After saying this, he took advantage of Jing Yuan's inattention, lowered his voice, and whispered in Luo Changan's ear: "I can also be regarded as creating a chance for you, the little jade horse princess has already accepted it, and it seems that she is not disgusted with you, why don't you take this opportunity to hurry up and offer your courtesy?" The princess is already in time, if you don't have a snack, sooner or later someone else will rob you! ”

After speaking, he glared at Luo Changan with hatred.

Luo Changan's face turned red, and the momentum of the original eldest brother disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't say a word.

"You're a piece of wood!"

Luo Changle hatefully nodded at Luo Changan, hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed Jing Yuan's arm and said: "It's rare for us to come out, just now my brother said, if the princess has anything to see in the past, just ask, my brother will cover all the expenses today!" ”

Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced back at Luo Changan, only to see Luo Changan's face turned crimson, and he immediately knew Luo Changle's intentions in his heart.

Although he had made up his mind to get along with Luo Changan, he was caught off guard by this surprise, which still made Jing Yuan a little resistant.

"It's okay."

Jing Yuan pretended to smile unintentionally and said: "Anyway, when I just left the palace, Biru had already prepared some silver for me, I know that the rules in your house are very strict, so it's better to save some......"

"Don't tight, don't tight!"

Hearing Jing Yuan's refusal behind him, Luo Changan hurriedly chased after him with a red face, and explained with an embarrassed face: "I have also saved a lot of silver over the years, and I have nowhere to spend it on weekdays, if it is, if I can honor the princess one or two, it will be my great blessing......"

“……”

Luo Changan's face was sincere, but Jing Yuan didn't know how to respond, and the two of them were stunned for a while, and the atmosphere was inexplicably embarrassing.

Luo Changle scolded in his heart, hurriedly started a round, and said with a smile: "It's just that I'm tired of walking, princess, how about we go to the teahouse in front to rest?" ”

Then he pulled Jing Yuan and walked to the teahouse without saying anything, without giving Luo Changan a look.

Luo Changan scratched his head, and instead of following the two into the teahouse, he turned around and walked back.

Without Luo Changan, Jing Yuan felt a lot more relaxed.

The little second-hand foot served a big pot of tea, and Luo Changle served it personally, but nothing went wrong.

"After all, outside the palace is not as good as inside the palace, and the princess will use it......"

Luo Changle was a little embarrassed, thinking that the next time he left the palace, he should bring some tea with him.

"It's fine."

Jing Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: "If everything is thorough, what does it make if you can't get out of the palace?" I think that's so good! ”

Luo Changle breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes frequently looked out: "Where did my brother go?" How is it that the effort is gone in the blink of an eye? ”

Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows, and instead of answering the conversation, he led the topic elsewhere.

Luo Changle didn't care, the two chatted for a cup of tea and didn't see Luo Changan come back, so they decided not to wait for him, and hurried up to continue going out.

It's just that as soon as he stood up, he saw Luo Changan break in from outside, and when he stood still, the two girls were all stunned, stunned for a few breaths, and the two of them simply laughed back and forth.

"Hahaha, brother, what are you making a fuss about......"
