Huaqing Palace.

The palace here is different from the regular palaces built in the imperial palace, and the gorgeous pavilions of the Huaqing Palace are actually surrounded by the water of the Taiye Pool, full of duckweed, green and clear.

A white jade bridge paved with white jade as a stone is flowing in the sun, and at first glance, the gorgeous Huaqing Pond is like a mirage.

Someone pushed open the long window of the coral. Outside the window is a garden, full of exotic flowers and plants, it is spring, and the garden is full of purple and red. The gardenia blooms in a snow-white and brilliant light, reflecting the scarlet roses like the glow of the sun, and the red, red, white and white are very beautiful. The palace was silent, except for the occasional small finch that flew from nowhere, flapping its wings and flapping its wings.

"Like water, the mother is resting, why did you open the window?" The old but kind-looking old lady was staring at the window in displeasure at the young palace maid who was stunned.

The little palace maid was startled, and then said with a smile: "Mama." My mother has woken up and asked me to open the window to breathe. ”

"Niangniang woke up, you opened the window and should go back to serve Niangniang, why did you start staying here?" The old lady did not give her a good face because of her flattery.

"Mama Gui, Rushui is still a child, don't be harsh on her." From the inner hall came the lazy voice of the concubine.

Mama Gui glared at the aggrieved Rushui again, and then strode into the inner hall, Concubine Shu had really gotten up and was sitting at the dressing table, her hair was high, her palace veil was fluttering, and her eyes were affectionate and hazy.

Rao is Mama Gui, who has served her for so many years. I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mama, what's going on outside?" Concubine Shu asked softly while applying balm to her hands.

Mama Gui immediately stepped forward, took over Concubine Shu's movements, pushed the balm away from her hand carefully and with moderate strength, and replied: "Miss Cui borrowed the princess's message to pass Miss Shen to the princess's palace, and the stick was about to fall on her body. But the princess was woken up. ”

"Linglong really ate what she made before she ran away?" Concubine Shu asked nonchalantly.

"After the princess returned to the palace yesterday evening, the imperial dining room sent a hundred flowers and pearl balls to the princess's palace, and the old slave inquired that Gu Yue in the queen's palace had been to the imperial dining room."

Concubine Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Queen? ”

"I'm afraid that she won't be able to intervene in our palace, so I am worried about the princess." Mama Gui guessed.

Concubine Shu smiled faintly: "I think she didn't fall hard enough last time—that's right." How's Linglong? ”

"After drinking the decoction from the hospital, it has been much better. However, the princess has been weak since she was a child, and after this time, I am afraid that she will have to recuperate for a few days. ”

"Hmm." Concubine Shu nodded, lowering her eyes to look at her fingers as white as jade, "Then take care of it." ”

Mama Gui raised her eyes and stopped talking.

"Mama, what is there to say to this palace?" Concubine Shu glanced at her.

"The princess cried pitifully in the morning, and wanted to see her mother."

"This kid." Concubine Shu shook her head and sighed, "It's not like this palace at all, it's a big deal, so I cry to death." If it weren't for the fact that the palace has maintained her meticulously over the years. She doesn't know how many times she has been killed, and she only looks like this. She is not a child anymore, I hope she will suffer some hardships and grow a little. "Hiroshi throws the eldest brother.

Mama Gui smiled and said, "Your mother's heart and old slave understand, but I'm afraid that the princess doesn't understand." ”

"That's it, I'll go see her in a while." Concubine Shu sighed helplessly, and the expression on her face was also faint, "Your Majesty likes this rosin dew, let the Internal Affairs Office send some more." ”

Mama Gui was busy.

"As for that Miss Shen," Concubine Shu paused and said lightly, "Go and tell Linglong, don't beat people to death." ”

The palace maid who went to the palace of the Nine Princesses to spread the word soon returned, and Mama Gui saw her strange expression, frowned and said, "Niangniang is waiting for a reply, don't go in quickly." ”

The little palace maid hurriedly entered the inner hall, kowtowed to the ground and said, "Back to the mother, the slave maid went to the princess's palace, and the princess ...... She didn't punish Miss Shen, and was having a good conversation with Miss Shen at the moment. ”

"Have you had a good conversation?" Concubine Shugui's beautiful long eyebrows raised slightly, and then smiled: "It seems that this Miss Shen has some skills, let's go over and take a look." ”

……

At this moment, in the palace of the Ninth Princess, Ruotang was looking at the Ninth Princess who was looking at her with a pale little face and admiration, and said carefully: "...... The princess was born with a weak spleen and stomach, and she had to eat more carefully on weekdays, such as the hundred flowers and pearl balls just now, with chrysanthemums, honeysuckle, prunella, etc., these are all cool things, and the amount is quite a lot, although the princess only drank half a bowl, but for your delicate little spleen and stomach, it is still too burdensome. ”

"You're so good, you can tell so much just by that half bowl of soup?" The ninth princess was nested in the golden bed, the bed was too big, and her pale and thin body became more and more petite and exquisite.

Ruotang smiled modestly, "Thanks to the princess's half bowl of soup that hasn't been poured out, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay my innocence." ”

Because the princess suddenly vomited and diarrhea, the palace people panicked, and for a moment of negligence, Princess Linglong drank the remaining half of the soup last night, and the palace people forgot to take it out. Ruotang was able to use this half bowl of soup to distinguish the reason why the little princess ran out of stomach with her sharp tongue.

The little princess waved her hand, "Even if I don't have this half bowl of soup, I know that you don't want to harm me." ”

"Oh? The princess believes in me so much? Ruotang was a little flattered when he heard this.

Fortunately, she woke up the little princess by howling twice outside just now, so that she could avoid the pain of flesh and skin.

"Yesterday's food was originally prepared for yourself by yourself, could it be that you are doing your own tricks in the food, and you are trying to harm yourself? It's me who has to eat your food, even if I run out of my stomach because of eating your food, it's a relationship that my spleen and stomach can't bear, what does it have to do with you? The Ninth Princess said eloquently.

Ouch, I really didn't expect this little princess who looks rude and willful to be actually a good girl with three views and integrity.

Ruotang laughed, "But princess, what the people in your palace said is not wrong, in the future, don't eat indiscriminately outside." ”

The little princess glared at her, "If it weren't for the fact that your country coarse food was too delicious, how could I not bear it?" ”

Ruotang: "......"

Is this still her fault?

Cui Jinran next to him glared at Ruotang unwillingly, and then asked, "Princess, do you want to tell Concubine Shugui about this?" ”

"What's the matter?" The little princess frowned and looked at her with displeasure.

Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with the fact that she made her own initiative and passed Ruotang into the palace to punish Ruotang in her name. Cui Jinran understood, a flowery face and a moon-looking face immediately turned pale with fright, and hurriedly put away her hatred of Ruotang, and said respectfully: "This bowl of Hundred Flowers and Pearl Balls is stuffed, and there is an excessive amount of cool flowers and plants in it, but I want to return to the concubine Niangniang and let her check who in the imperial dining room did this untouchable hand?" ”

"Forget it." The little princess thought about it and sighed sensibly, "I'm just suffering a little bit, just be more careful in the future, concubine...... I also have to take care of my father. ”

Ruotang looked at her sensible but clearly a little gloomy little appearance, and she didn't quite understand, the lady concubine who seemed to love her children very much yesterday, was she indifferent to the little princess being manipulated, and she hadn't even come to see her at all?

"But this time they dare to act like this, and they don't know what terrible things they will do next time, princess, you have to guard against it!" Cui Jinran was sincerely worried: "What should I do if you have something?" ”

Ruotang was drinking water, and almost choked on himself when he heard the words, why did this sound so awkward.

However, the little princess is obviously soft-hearted, and she was a little dissatisfied with Cui Jinran's self-assertion at first, but when she heard this, her expression softened, "That's it, the master hasn't left yet, you can go back to class." ”

Cui Jinran's heart was relieved, but her face was full of worry: "I'll still accompany the princess, there are always palace maids below who don't serve well, I'm here, so I can watch them a little." ”

She worked hard to become the attendant of the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess seems to be shrewd and rude, but she is the best to fool, she doesn't want to lose the identity and benefits of this attendant because of Ruotang.

"No need, isn't there still Miss Shen here?" The ninth princess frowned, a little displeased.

Cui Jinran bit her lip and walked to Ruotang's side, "The previous thing was that I was too reckless, but it was also because I was worried about the princess, and I hope Miss Shen doesn't take it to heart." You're here, so let's talk to the princess. But don't talk about it for too long, the princess needs a good rest. ”

The princess seems to have a good impression of this slut surnamed Shen, and she has to be very careful, she must not let the slut turn the princess's heart to her side.

……

Outside the palace, Concubine Shugui, who had been standing at the door for a long time, couldn't help but shake her head and smile.

Seeing this, Mama Gui also laughed, "This Cui girl has a lot of eyes, but she is not as smart as she thinks, I really don't know how the Cui family could raise such a girl." ”

"What's wrong with such a little girl?" Shuguifei liked it very much, "Such a talent is easy to handle - it's a pity that Linglong, a child, can't even handle such a stupid girl, which is really disappointing." ”

"The princess is simpler, but fortunately, there is still a mother who is training, and it will not be bad in the future." Mama Gui said with a smile.

Concubine Shu still shook her head, and then held her hand, "What's going on with Your Majesty?" ”

"I have already sent the news to the past, you can rest assured, Your Majesty loves the princess the most, and when I heard that the princess is sick, I will definitely put down what I am doing and rush over."

Concubine Shu nodded with satisfaction: "Come in." ”

Hearing the singing harmony of "Concubine Shu has arrived", Ruotang hurriedly stood up and caught a glimpse of the irrepressible smile and eagerness on the little princess's face.

couldn't help laughing, looking like a sensible little adult, saying things that he didn't want to disturb, but in fact, he was still looking forward to his mother coming to see her and comfort her.

Concubine Shu Guifei walked in lightly, and Ruotang hurriedly followed the other palace people, squatted down and saluted.

Concubine Shu came over to help her with her own hands: "Miss Shen, don't be polite, this palace heard that this kid in Linglong Pavilion is messing around again, didn't hurt you, right?" ”

Ruotang glanced at Princess Linglong's aggrieved appearance, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, the ninth princess didn't embarrass me, on the contrary, the ninth princess still likes me very much." ”

When Baili Linglong heard this, she couldn't help but say: "I really dare to put gold on my face, when did this princess say that she liked you?" Mother, you are better to her, an outsider, than to Linglong! ”

Concubine Shu glared at her reproachfully, "Nonsense again." ”

As he spoke, he let go of Ruotang's hand and walked towards Baili Linglong.

Ruotang looked at her, she was wearing a cherry purple neon dress palace dress, the front sleeve tube was embroidered with a small flower and a small slightly dark rose petal, each petal was decorated with pearls the size of three or five rice grains, and she was dressed in a gauze made of light gold silk.

She couldn't help but rub her fingers again, as if there was still the slippery touch on Concubine Shugui's hand, and a trace of pine wood fragrance still lingered on the tip of her nose.

Concubine Shu was holding Baili Linglong's hand at this time, and her face was full of kindness and pity.

However, Ruotang felt that it was very discordant.

Ordinary mothers, if they hear that their children have been killed, not to mention vowing to find out the real culprit and seek justice for their daughter, they must also stay by the side to protect their daughter in order to rest assured.

This Shuguifei is good, the little princess has been running since last night, and until now, Shuguifei has come to see her, and she is still radiant and delicately dressed, and she didn't even forget to apply the balm before coming. Ruotang really didn't want to think about her in a bad direction, after all, her face full of pity and distress didn't seem to be pretending.

However, Ruotang also knows that this concubine is too good-looking, which is the main reason why she is unwilling to think of her in a bad way.

It's not just men who appreciate it.

Concubine Shu was saying, "...... You can distinguish between right and wrong, and don't punish others indiscriminately, and the mother concubine is very pleased......" When the singing harmony of "Your Majesty has arrived" sounded outside.

Ruotang was still a little excited, thinking that he had only been here for a long time, and he had met the monarch of the Ryuk Kingdom, and he would definitely take a good look at what kind of character the monarch of the Ryuk Kingdom was.

Thinking like this, after everyone knelt down to greet the monarch, they heard a very mellow and anxious voice: "How is my Xiaojiu?" I heard that after running all night, how do the people in this palace serve? If I had been paid early, I would have come here a long time ago. ”

"Father!" Baili Linglong shouted happily and movingly.

Ruotang, who was still kneeling on the ground, secretly raised his eyes and saw Baili Linglong rushing into the arms of a tall and straight man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

"Look, what has become of my Xiao Jiu, the people in this palace are not well served, they are all pulled out and killed, and then I will choose the one for my Xiao Jiu." As soon as Baili Huang saw Baili Ling's pale little face and thin little body, he was furious.

"It's not that the people in the palace don't serve well, it's all because the children themselves are greedy, so don't punish them, father." Baili Linglong hurriedly hugged Baili Huang's arm coquettishly and begged: "The children will be careful in the future, and the father will spare them this time." ”

The people of the palace were so frightened that they kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!" ”

"Your Majesty, you can't help it." Concubine Shu Guifei hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded her: "Linglong is fine, with the imperial doctor in the palace taking care of her, she will be able to recuperate soon, don't make a big fuss." ”

Ruotang had already seen that Baili Huang was just trying to scare and scare the people in this palace, and asked them to serve the little princess more wholeheartedly in the future. Looking at Concubine Shu's simple and anxious pleading, the sense of disobedience in Ruotang's heart rose again.

How did such a simple and kind person survive in this deep palace?

"That's it, for the sake of Concubine Shu and the princess, I will spare you this time, and there will be a next time, but it will not be so easy to speak." Bai Lihuang said unhappily: "Get up." ”

Ruotang got up with everyone at this time, just as Bai Lihuang turned around and wanted to take Concubine Shu's hand.

Ruotang, who saw Baili Huang's appearance clearly, was suddenly struck by lightning, and his eyes almost popped out.

The thunder is enough to describe her mixed psychology at the moment.

The middle-aged man in front of him, if he ignored the silver hair on his temples, the wrinkles in his eyebrows, and the contours and complexion that were deeper than Chu Qianlan, Ruotang would really think that it was the middle-aged version of Chu Qianlan standing in front of him!

Is it okay to look like Tynyima?

She only felt a basin of dog blood splashed in her face!

The doubts that I couldn't understand before finally have an answer at this moment - why did the Great Chu Emperor dislike Chu Qianlan so much, because Chu Qianlan was not his son at all, but the son of the lord of the Lu Kingdom!

Ruotang doesn't believe in any coincidence, Chu Qianlan and Baili Wenhan are seven or eight points similar, everyone thinks it is a coincidence, but Chu Qianlan is more like the lord of Liuguo than Baili Wenhan, how can this be considered a coincidence?

It's over, Chu Qianlan is already on her way to Liuguo, if the people of Liuguo find out this secret, will they still be able to leave Liuguo by then?

Ruotang, who was full of coaxing, couldn't help but want to be rude, what the hell is going on with his mother! Since the prince of her family is the prince of the Kingdom of Liu, how can he become the prince of Dachu?

Concubine Shu looked at Ruotang's shocked and flustered eyes from the corner of her eye, and smiled softly.

Baili Huang was busy with government affairs, and he didn't stay long before leaving, and he didn't look at the troubled Ruotang at all from the time he came.

Ruotang also knew that his current state was not suitable for continuing to stay, and he was about to say goodbye, so he heard Concubine Shu say to Baili Linglong: "Okay, after talking for so long, you should also rest, and the concubine will come to see you later." ”

As she spoke, she personally covered the brocade quilt for Baili Linglong, and then turned her head to look at Ruotang, "If Miss Shen is not in a hurry to leave the palace, why don't you accompany the palace for a walk?" ”

Ruotang couldn't refuse, so he had to say yes against his will, and stepped forward to hold the hand handed out by Concubine Shugui.

Out of the hundred-mile exquisite palace, Ruotang heard Concubine Shu ask her: "Does Miss Shen think that this palace is too incompetent as a mother?" ”

Ruotang, who was thinking about things, hurriedly said, "How could it be? Niangniang, you care about and care for the Ninth Princess, and anyone with long eyes can see it. ”

There was a bitter smile on the corner of Concubine Shu's mouth, "Actually, why don't you want to rush over to take care of Linglong immediately when she hears that Linglong is uncomfortable." But Hongu can't, do you know why? ”

She said in a soft voice, her gentle and sad eyes falling on Ruotang's face.

"I ...... I do not know. Ruotang really couldn't bear the beauty looking at her with such eyes, "Niangniang has the hardships of Niangniang." ”

"What mother doesn't love her child, not to mention that Bengong is still ......" she said as if she suddenly woke up, and hurriedly swallowed back the second half of her words, "Bengong didn't come to see her, but also wanted her to remember the lesson of this time, knowing that it was powerful, knowing that it was scared, in order to better survive in this palace." The palace also wants to block everything for her, but there are always times of negligence, if the children who grow up in the palace can't protect themselves well, if any of the palaces say no, it's gone, how should she deal with herself? ”

As she spoke, her eyelashes twitched slightly, and bean-sized tears fell.

Ruotang hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you have good intentions, the ninth princess will always understand you, don't be sad, the ninth princess's body is no longer in the way......"

Concubine Shu turned her head halfway away, pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then turned her head and said with a wry smile: "I told you to laugh, I really can't help it...... Bengong just hopes that Linglong can grow up smoothly in this palace, and when she is old, choose a good family for her and marry her off - other princesses have brothers to help her, Linglong's life is not good, and she can be taken care of by her brother, so it's all to blame for this palace......"

As she spoke, her eyes rolled and her chest rose and fell violently, as if she was out of breath.

The palace people in front and behind were frightened, "Niangniang, Niangniang!" ”

Ruotang was also taken aback, she washed away the reputation of poisoning the princess, and she wouldn't be saddled with the reputation of murdering the palace concubine again in a blink of an eye, right? She could see that although the lord of the country didn't say a few words to Concubine Shu just now, the gentle appearance of holding her hand all the time really showed that he loved this Concubine Shu very much. If these palace people want to shirk their responsibilities and say that she harmed Concubine Shu - after all, she has been supporting Concubine Shu, but the closest to her is naturally the most suspicious.

Ruotang felt that his heart was almost collapsed, but he just entered a palace, should he be so thrilling!

At a loss, the old lady who was holding Concubine Shu came forward, took Concubine Shu from the panicked Ruotang, pressed her person twice, and rubbed a few acupuncture points, then saw Concubine Shu open her eyes faintly, and the old lady simply and neatly instructed the palace people: "Quickly carry the soft sedan chair and send the mother back to the palace." ”

After everyone carried Concubine Shu away in an orderly manner, the old lady turned around and said to Ruotang very cordially and apologetically: "Miss Shen, did you just frighten you?" ”

"Guifei Niangniang, she ...... She's alright, right? Ruotang watched in disbelief as the palace people carried Concubine Shu away.

Isn't this a bureau? Isn't this to frame her game? Or has she been killed too much, and habitually conspiracy theories?

The old lady sighed heavily, her eyes were sad and distant, "Alas, this is my mother's heart disease, every time I mention it, my mother always has to be so sad." Speaking of which, Niangniang was also helpless back then...... If only our prince were still here. Oh, look at my mouth, the older I get, the more I can't control it. Is Miss Shen going out of the palace now? ”

"Hmm." Ruotang responded casually.

Why does it always feel weird, listening to the meaning of the words between Concubine Shu and this old lady, this Concubine Shu originally had a son?

But why did they tell her this?

Inadvertent? But how does she feel that they are intentional, but they don't say it all, and they play dumb riddles to arouse people's appetites, is it very interesting?

Forget it, I don't want to, it has nothing to do with her anyway.
