Chapter Seventy-Six: The New Favorite (3)

sneered: "It turns out that this is the little master of Hehuan Palace, which sister should I be so naturally beautiful, it turns out to be Xi Concubine, my sister often mentions you to me, by the way, why is your ugly slave not there?" ”

After speaking, she looked behind her exaggeratedly, and saw Ruyi standing behind He Xi, so she withdrew her gaze.

"Does Concubine Xi also think that girl is ugly and can't see people? Hahahaha-" Although Lan Xin didn't treat Lan Ruo with much respect, Lan Ruo was still happy to see He Xi deflated, but she just looked at it and didn't answer.

He Xi didn't get up without courtesy, but maintained a half-squatting posture, He Xi's body shook slightly, Ruyi stepped forward in small steps, and supported He Xi, Lan Ruo only then pretended to wake up: "Look at the memory of this palace, Concubine Xi has a leg disease, and she has been saluting for so long, and when the time comes, your majesty should be distressed again, get up quickly." ”

Hearing this, Ruyi hurriedly helped He Xi up, and Lan Xin snorted coldly: "I didn't expect to be a sick man, just like her ugly slave, I don't know how I was selected to enter the palace." ”

Seeing that He Xi didn't say a word, she seemed to have lost interest, and without waiting for Lan Ruo, she went to the place with the best view of the imperial garden, and the maid in pink clothes beside her hurriedly followed.

Lan Ruo walked in front of He Xi, dignified and charming, and said slowly: "Xin'er has been favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion since she was a child, and her temperament is inevitably a little tricky. ”

He Xi smiled: "What is the queen mother? Concubine Hui is in a high position, and these little temperaments can be regarded as affectionate and sexual, but if everything is in accordance with the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am afraid that His Majesty will think that this harem has changed its surname to Lan. ”

"Bold! Dare to say such a rebellious thing, Qiao'er, give me a palm......" Lan Ruo's expression changed greatly, and he immediately greeted Qiao'er thousands of people, wanting to dispose of He Xi.

Ruyi's face was anxious, and she kept pulling the corners of He Xi's clothes behind her, asking He Xi not to say any more, but He Xi didn't seem to pay attention to it, and said in a deep voice: "The queen mother wants to be punished, and the concubine naturally doesn't dare to have the slightest complaint, but the queen mother, Yu Qin is the eldest sister, Yu Li is the mother of a country, and Concubine Hui is like this, I'm afraid it will be unseemly." ”

Qiao'er's footsteps stopped, she looked back at Lan Ruo, Lan Ruo's red gold armor was trembling slightly, and He Xi's words blew into Lan Ruo's heart with a cold wind, rolling up a mess.

She coughed lightly and glanced at Qiao'er, Qiao'er retreated, she stepped forward and whispered in He Xi's ear: "Don't think that if you say this, you will separate our sisters' previous relationship." ”

He Xi was not afraid, but just met Lan Ruo's gaze: "Queen Mother Shengming, whether this is persuasion or separation, Niangniang can naturally tell the difference." ”

"Qiao'er, let's go." Lan Ruo walked away, leaving only He Xi and Ruyi standing in place.

He Xi saluted again and said, "The concubine sends the queen mother." ”

A gust of fragrant wind drifted by, and there was no longer Lan Ruo's figure in front of him, and the master and servant returned to the Hehuan Hall one after the other, and the ugly man was already in a hurry, and when he saw He Xi coming back alive, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The slave maid heard that His Majesty killed two palace maids in Chuxiu Palace, and punished Bai Cairen, and the slave maid was worried about death." ”

Ruyi seemed to have returned to the Hehuan Hall and breathed a sigh of relief: "No, I was also worried the whole time, but fortunately, our little master Jiren has his own natural appearance, so he escaped a catastrophe." ”

Jiren has his own natural appearance? He Xi was noncommittal, if she was really a good person, there would not be such a lot of things, every step she took was walking on the steel knife, and if she was not careful, she would never recover, at this time, a little eunuch from the Heart Cultivation Hall said outside: "The little master of Xi Concubine is here?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Ruyi greeted each other with quick hands and feet, and said with a smile: "Why is my father-in-law free to come?" ”

The little eunuch cleared his throat and said: "The slave is here to deliver the decree, Your Majesty will stay in the Hehuan Hall today, come over after dinner, and ask the little master to prepare to take over at that time." ”

The ugly child's breath was stagnant, but He Xi said softly: "I know, there is Father-in-law Lao." ”

Ruyi took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the little father-in-law, and sent the person out, the ugly child helped He Xi into the hall, all the way to talk and stop, finally, as if she couldn't help it, she said in a deep voice: "Little master, you are ......"

He Xi sat in front of the bronze mirror, lifted the makeup beside him, groped on an inconspicuous fat powder box, and took it out, this is the most ordinary fat powder in the palace, even the materials are the most ordinary copperware, brushed with a layer of varnish, made into the shape of a lotus leaf.

With a slight twist of her white fingers, she opened a cassette from the bottom, which contained a small piece of medicine that had been crumpled, and she took out a small piece and put it in the palm of her hand and sent it to the ugly child.

The ugly child didn't know why, he was confused, he didn't know what He Xi was doing with this thing for him, and He Xi didn't say much: "Mr. Gao developed it, which can confuse people's minds." ”

The ugly child immediately understood, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but raise a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ruyi sent away the eunuch who sent the decree, hurriedly entered the hall, closed the door, the light in the room dimmed suddenly, He Xi got up from the chair, and said, "But there is news?" ”

Ruyi nodded, He Xi couldn't wait to take the copper spoon, opened it, took out the note in it, unfolded it to see, but at a glance, it was like being struck by lightning.

Two lines were written on the letterhead: The youngest son is the prince, see you at night.

In a few short sentences, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, like Tuoba Yue's character, but it is these few words He Xi seems to have no way to understand, and he read it several times before handing it over to Ruyi to burn.

He closed his eyes and thought, although Chou'er and Ruyi had a lot of things to ask, but now they also knew that He Xi wanted to be quiet alone, so they quietly retreated.

Countless fragments flashed in He Xi's mind, the appearance of the crazy woman, the child's eyebrows, and the child's size, the child was only one or two years old, the first emperor died, Tuoba Chen ascended the throne, and he only had three or four years of life, since he was a prince, why didn't Lan Ruo know. Leave him to exist?

Many questions lingered around him, so that He Xi couldn't find the direction, and it seemed that everything could only be solved by waiting until the time came.

Sure enough, in the evening, Tuoba Chen arrived at the Hehuan Hall as promised, but he was stumped by government affairs, and when he was close to Xu, the emperor's imperial palace arrived outside the Hehuan Palace.

Because He Xi was only wearing civilian clothes, he knelt in the hall to salute, and a cool night breeze blew up, hitting the smooth satin, He Xi unconsciously felt a layer of trembling on his body, and his fingertips were slightly dyed with coolness.

As soon as her elbows warmed, she was helped up by a pair of powerful big hands, raised her head and crashed into Tuoba Chen's eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid it, and the figures of the two snuggling up to each other were stretched by the candle flame, reflected on the carved mahogany window lattice, and also reflected in the bewitching eyes of outsiders.

He Xi's body softened, avoided Tuoba Chen's approach, walked to the red candle, and gently picked the wick of the red candle with a silver skewer, and a touch of pale white powder fell on the candle flame silently.

There were some simple side dishes and water and wine on the table, He Xi turned around and helped Tuoba Chen to make it, personally poured Tuoba Chen a glass of wine, and said softly: "The concubine thought that His Majesty would go to Concubine Hui's palace today." ”

"You have been wronged in Chuxiu Palace during the day, I should reward you well." After speaking, he scraped the tip of He Xi's small nose as if intimately.

He Xi dodged with a chuckle, her eyes flowed, and she glanced at Tuoba Chen with disgust, tenderness and forgiveness, Tuoba Chen couldn't help but get up, stretched out the wine glass in his hand in front of He Xi and said softly: "I haven't drunk wine with you yet." ”

But he didn't want to leave his seat and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is Your Majesty's wife, where is there a reason to drink with the concubines, the concubines will never dare." ”

Tuoba Chen sighed, as if he had lost his interest, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said to He Xi: "I originally thought that I could relax in you, and I didn't pay attention to those red tapes, like ...... It's like an ordinary couple, after all, I think too much. ”

He Xi just knelt on the ground and didn't speak, Tuoba Chen drank the wine in his cup, and suddenly he felt dizzy, but it was only a moment before he lost consciousness and fell on the table.

He Xi gently patted Tuoba Chen's back and called out tentatively: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty is drunk. ”

In response to He Xi, only the silence in the room was full, He Xi swept a wine glass on the table to the ground, the silver wine bottle made a crisp and pleasant sound, and the lotus heart, who had been waiting in the side hall, was helped in by Ruyi.

First bowed to He Xi, then consciously stepped forward to help Tuoba Chen and walked to the bed behind him, He Xi looked at the backs of the two, and asked no longer hesitatingly: "What time is it?" ”

Ruyi helped He Xi change into a dark night clothes, and said: "It's about to be the right time, presumably the prince has also entered the palace at this time, the little master is still fast, don't miss the time." ”

He Xi nodded, and quickly changed into a dull black short riding suit. This color is hidden in the dark, almost invisible, which is also what Tuoba Yue commanded before.

By the time He Xi changed his clothes, the inner hall had already sounded bursts of gasps, and He Xi only felt his stomach churning. Said to Ruyi: "I want to go out, and you will take care of the palace." ”

Ruyi nodded, and hurriedly said: "Little master, don't worry, you also have to come back as soon as possible, the effect of the medicine is ......" After speaking, he glanced in the direction of the inner hall, He Xi answered, and secretly went out through the side door.

He Xi's hair is neatly tied behind him, her figure is petite and exquisite, and her beautiful eyes contain a streamer.
