Qiao'er heard the words Hehuan Palace, and her expression changed a few times, that is not the residence that Xi promised, I haven't heard that Your Majesty has been to Hehuan Hall these days, why did you suddenly appreciate something?

There was a short cough in the hall, Qiao'er quickly pulled out of her thoughts, and said in a low voice: "You must not break your mouth in front of Niangniang, you know?" ”

The two little palace maids nodded again and again, and Qiao'er sorted out her expression, pushed open the door of the hall with the medicine and entered.

Hearing the voice, knowing that it was Qiao'er who came in, Lan Ruo didn't apply powder, with a pretty face, Qiao'er took a two-color satin peacock thread beads hibiscus soft pillow for Lan Ruo to lean on, and said with a smile: "Niangniang is better?" ”

Lan Ruo didn't say anything, but as a result, Qiao'er handed over the medicine bowl, took a sip gently, and the good-looking willow eyebrows frowned together, Qiao'er hurriedly took the candied fruit on the rosewood octagonal phoenix table next to her and fed one to Lan Ruo's mouth.

He coaxed softly in his mouth: "Niangniang, the medicine is bitter, the weather is changeable in early spring, and the illness is difficult, so you have to be careful." ”

With the candied fruit in his hand, Lan Ruo took another big sip, the bitter taste was in his mouth, and the dark red decoction bottomed out, Qiao'er took the medicine bowl and took another candied fruit to Lan Ruo.

After taking the medicine, Lan Ruocai asked, "What are you talking about outside the palace?" ”

Qiao'er was a little hesitant, but was swept away by Lan Ruo's somewhat cruel gaze, and then opened her mouth and said, "It was the two little palace maids who broke their mouths and said that His Majesty rewarded the one in the Hehuan Hall today." ”

He Xi?

Lan Ruo didn't seem to think of it, and then asked: "Didn't you say that Your Majesty has been staying in the Ice Spring Palace for the past few days, how did you think that Xi who rewarded the Hehuan Hall agreed?" ”

"This slave didn't know, but I heard that she was only rewarded with a piece of jewelry and clothes, and she didn't say anything." Qiao'er also wondered in her heart, she didn't know what means this fox had used in secret, living in such a remote place, she could hook His Majesty to the past.

"You go and inquire about this matter, and give me a list of rewards later, and besides, do you have a clue about the matter of Chuxiu Palace?" As soon as he thought of Chu Xiu Palace, Lan Ruo's psychology couldn't stop feeling disgusted, and when he thought of that person, his chest felt stuffy, and the scenes in the dream kept appearing in front of him.

Slowly tightened the thin jacket on his body, even if it was a resentful spirit, Mu Jin, you can't fight me alive, what kind of storm can you set off if you die?

Qiao'er said: "The palace people sent out said that they searched around Chuxiu Palace, and they didn't find any suspicious people and things, and there are no clues for the time being." ”

"Continue to investigate, and once you have a clue, you must come back immediately to tell you." Qiao'er received the order and was about to withdraw, but was stopped by Lan Ruo.

"You spread the news that the Hehuan Hall has been rewarded, the sooner the better." Although Qiao'er didn't know what the queen meant by this move, she knew that Lan Ruo was in a bad mood at this time, so it was better to ask less.

Sure enough, it was only an hour's work, and everyone in the harem knew that He Xi had been rewarded.

In Wanxiu Palace, Zhao Ruxue's face was gloomy and she listened to the maid's reply, her already somewhat mean expression became more and more hideous, and she slapped the table suddenly, and the tea next to her hand spilled a little.

"Why does the little lord have to be so angry?" A round-faced palace maid beside Zhao Ruxue whispered.

"She came out of a businessman's family, why can she get the favor of His Majesty, not because of a foxy face, she can't be angry when she looks at me." Zhao Ruxue was indignant.

She is not a beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth, especially a pair of Danfeng eyes, which lacks a lot of women's unique coquettishness and weakness, but fortunately, she is good at dancing, but she makes up for it a lot, so she hates He Xi's appearance very much.

"The little master also said, the left and right are just a small door and a small household, how can it compare to you, I don't think the little master should worry." A few words from the round-faced palace maid wiped out most of Zhao Ruxue's anger.

"Let's go, let's go to the Ice Spring Palace." Zhao Ruxue suddenly remembered something, got up and walked out, and the maidservant seemed to have long been accustomed to Zhao Ruxue's fiery temperament, and quickly followed.

The two palaces are just a wall apart, and when Zhao Ruxue entered the Ice Spring Palace, she happened to see Xu Qing'er sitting under the vines reading a book.

"I said that my sister really did it, if I were my sister, I was afraid that I would have to stop thinking about it." Zhao Ruxue said sarcastically.

Xu Qing'er raised her head from the book and saw Zhao Ruxue standing in front of her with the palace people, she couldn't understand Zhao Ruxue's words, she had never liked Zhao Ruxue, and now she had grace in her body, and she didn't hide her boredom, and said coldly: "What kind of wind blew Zhao Meiren here?" This wind is strong, Zhao Meiren can be careful not to flash her tongue when she speaks. ”

In terms of coquettishness and eccentricity, Xu Qing'er is even better, Zhao Ruxue was deflated, and she was suffocated in her chest in one breath, but thinking of her purpose here, she forcibly suppressed her anger and said with a smile: "Sister, doesn't I care about my sister, doesn't my sister know that Xi of the Hehuan Hall promised to receive a reward today?" ”

Xu Qing'er was stunned, she knew the news, but she didn't know why Zhao Ruxue came to the Ice Spring Palace to talk about it.

Seeing Xu Qing'er's reaction, Zhao Ruxue knew that she was in the know, and then said: "In Chuxiu Palace that day, my sister reminded my sister that some people stammered their sister, climbed their sister's high branches, and stepped on their sister's upper position. ”

Xu Qing'er became more and more impatient and said: "Who is favored by Your Majesty, that is Your Majesty's grace, besides, my sister has also exhausted all means, but why didn't I see a stitch and a thread sent to Wanxiu Palace?" ”

The smile froze on her face, Zhao Ruxue was embarrassed and indignant for a while, she thought that she had talked with the emperor on the trail for a while that day, and the emperor could remember himself in his heart, but he didn't want to, except for that day, His Majesty seemed to have forgotten his own person.

"You ......" Zhao Ruxue was angry, but was gently pulled by the maid behind her, and the palace maid whispered: "Little master, don't do it." ”

Now that Xu Qing'er is favored, if her own little master collides with her, no matter where she is, she must be indescribable, and even the entire Wanxiu Palace will be implicated.

Xu Qing'er didn't want to entangle with Zhao Ruxue, so she snorted coldly, and ordered the palace maid beside her: "Pothos, send off." ”

The maidservant named Green Pothos hesitated for a moment, but still respectfully walked in front of Zhao Ruxue and said softly: "Zhao Meiren ......"

"I'll leave myself, but, Xu Qing'er, I hope you won't regret what you did today one day." Putting down the cruel words, Zhao Ruxue left with a willow swing.

The original good mood was interrupted by Zhao Ruxue, looking at the book thrown down casually, Xu Qing'er was irritable for no reason, the pothos sent Zhao Ruxue out, turned around, and saw Xu Qing'er sitting in front of the desk with a depressed face, her hands on her cheeks, her pink cherry lips pursed slightly, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Why bother with that person, why should the little lord bother with that person, she is that kind of character, doesn't the little master know?" ”

"Although I know, but she is too hateful, originally when I heard about this today, I was still happy for Sister He Xi in my heart, and it was really disappointing for her to make trouble like this today." Boredomily shook her head, the magnolia butterfly in her hair swayed, and swayed slightly with her movements, shining golden in the sun.

"Little master, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Pothos put away the books scattered on the desk and whispered.

"You've been around us since you were a child, when did you talk like this?" Xu Qing'er turned her head sideways and asked puzzled.

Seeing that Xu Qing'er agreed, Lu Luo boldly said: "The slave maid thinks that Zhao Meiren's words are not rough, in this deep palace, we must not have the heart of harming people, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, according to the meaning of the slave maid, we still have to be careful." ”

"Then Zhao Ruxue doesn't know, you still don't know? Sister He Xi's incident this time has nothing to do with us, I have only been favored, and I haven't spoken for Sister He Xi in front of His Majesty on weekdays, how can it be regarded as a foil? Xu Qing'er frowned and said.

Green Pothos said anxiously: "My little master, if you don't help her speak, it doesn't mean that she won't use your identity, this matter, the little master should be careful, when the time comes, it will really be like Zhao Meiren said, she has taken your favor......"

"Pothos!" scolded coquettishly, and Xu Qing'er's face sank.

Seeing that Xu Qing'er was angry, Luluo also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she knelt on the ground in a panic and said repeatedly: "The little master is angry, the slave just wants to remind the little master ......"

You got up, smoothed the folds on her skirt, and looked at the maid who knelt in front of her and followed her from childhood to adulthood, Xu Qing'er did not doubt Luluo's sincerity to her at all. Just thinking of that person, Xu Qing'er would never believe that she would use herself to achieve her own goals.

"Pothos, I know you're good for me, but I don't want to hear such words in the future, and I don't want any unpleasant sounds to come out of the Ice Spring Palace, remember?"

The green pothos seemed a little reluctant, but looking at Xu Qing'er's expression, she finally endured what she wanted to say, kowtowed heavily and said: "The slave and maid know, the slave and maid will also help the little master to rectify the slaves in the Bingquan Palace, and please rest assured." ”

In the evening, Tuoba Chen was still staying in the Ice Spring Palace, after the clouds and rain, Xu Qing'er supported herself with one hand, the quilt slipped off, revealing her white collarbone, which was unusually fragrant, she dared to reach out and poke Tuoba Chen's chest and whispered: "Today, I heard that Your Majesty rewarded Sister He Xi?" ”

"Did Xi of the Hehuan Hall agree? I did reward her, what, do you have a good relationship? Catching Xu Qing'er's little hand that lit the fire everywhere and holding it in the palm of his hand, Tuoba Chen asked.

"We ...... We just knew each other, and when we were in Chuxiu Palace, we lived together. Xu Qing'er pondered for a long time and said slowly.

"I see, it's just that the people from the Internal Affairs Office came to report the use of each palace that day, and then I knew that there were a lot less Hehuan Palaces, so I went to the Internal Affairs Office to make up for it." He lowered his head and kissed his white and tender fingers, as if unintentionally.

When Xu Qing'er heard this, her expression was relieved, but she pulled out a sincere smile: "Sister He Xi, she has always been generous, but the Internal Affairs Office has neglected and she doesn't speak, but fortunately, Your Majesty is aware of everything." ”

Tuoba Chen did smile and did not answer, but Xu Qing'er really put her mind at ease, and the two hugged each other and slept without a dream.
