When I arrived at Weiyang Palace, I saw Qiao'er serving a few plates of delicate snacks, and He Xi only saw Lan Ruo's favorite hibiscus cake inside. ”

He Xi's position is low, and he can't enter the palace without the summons of the queen's mother.

Qiao'er glanced at He Xi at the bottom of the stairs, although her eyes were not happy, but she still forced a smile: "Why is this Weiyang Palace so lively today, Xu Zhaoyi and Zhao Meiren are talking with Niangniang in the palace, I will go in and give Xi a message, and ask the little master to wait slowly." ”

After speaking, he bowed lightly, and then twisted his steps and walked towards the hall, not in a hurry, without any anxiety at all. Ruyi looked at Qiao'er's shadow-colored half-arm honey-colored skirt, with rose-colored beads on her head, and couldn't help whispering: "Little master, you see Qiao'er's dress, which is more magnificent than the ordinary little master with a low status, and the queen doesn't care." ”

He Xi stared at Ruyi, Ruyi lowered his head, knowing that he had lost his words, this is Weiyang Palace, not Hehuan Palace, the little master has already instructed him to control his mouth, and the disaster of the province will come from his mouth.

But Ruyi was unhappy in her heart, especially when she saw Qiao'er's condescending appearance. He Xi sighed lightly and said: "She is the maid of the queen's mother, she has followed her all the way from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her status is higher than that of the average big girl, and it is understandable that the queen is spoiled." ”

The two stood at the foot of the stairs and waited for a long time, and finally Qiao'er greeted them with a smile and said: "The little master saw the memory of the slave and maid, and just went in, and the mother called the slave and maid to do something, and forgot about this matter, the little master will not blame the slave and maid." ”

His fingers tightened, and his voice said calmly: "The queen mother has a lot of things in the palace, and there is a negligence for a while, which is also appropriate." ”

He Xi is talking about the middle palace, not her Qiao'er, and the deep meaning in these words may naturally be understood.

followed Qiao'er into the inner hall, and sure enough, I saw a few people eating pastries and laughing and gossiping, so uncomfortable, He Xi blessed his body and said to the queen.

Lan Ruo flattened her, and asked Qiao'er to add a seat next to Zhao Ruxue before saying, "This palace thought that the injury on your face would take some time to heal, but I didn't expect that it was only a few days, so I hurriedly ran to this palace." ”

Xu Qing'er hasn't seen He Xi since that day of the palace banquet, and she didn't say a few words in private, but when she saw it at this time, it was inevitably cordial, and she was chatting with the queen and others just now, so she replied with a smile: "Presumably, Sister He Xi was worried about the queen's illness in her heart, just like the two of us, so she came over without caring about the injury on her face." ”

Xu Qing'er's words were ingenious, Lan Ruo was also happy to hear it, but she just smiled and lightly skipped this topic, Zhao Ruxue on the side had been lifting her anger, and suddenly relaxed, you must know that the injury on He Xi's face was caused by herself, if Niangniang would think about it, blame it, and she would inevitably be punished.

He Xi smiled faintly, she turned her head to look at Xiao Nai, her eyes were completely strange and curious, Xiao Nai was looked at by her like this, a little weak, but she also knew that she couldn't show anything at this time, so she could only force herself to hang her head and reach out to take the hibiscus cake, the hibiscus cake was sweet and delicious, and it melted in her mouth, but Xiao Nai at this time was like chewing wax.

He Xi smiled and said, "If the concubine is not mistaken, this is the young lady next to His Royal Highness King Xian at the palace banquet?" ”

Even if he turned his head, he couldn't hide the curiosity in his eyes, his face was covered by a veil, revealing only a pair of misty eyes and a little red cinnabar, and he could see any emotion.

Lan Ruo saw that she was curious, and just hummed, but He Xi couldn't see the queen's perfunctory and said: "Then I don't know if it's time for the concubine to come, what is the queen talking to the sisters?" ”

Xu Qing'er said with a smile: "Aren't you asking Miss Xiao about the customs of southern Xinjiang?" We are all staying at home, Zhao Meiren and I are fine, when we are not married, we can be regarded as following my father to different places, but the queen mother, born to be a noble lady in the capital, is even more curious. ”

What flashed in He Xi's eyes, Lan Ruo, what are you doing in Southern Xinjiang?

Lan Ruo took a sip of tea and said: "Isn't it, this palace is very curious, I heard that Southern Xinjiang has been governed in an orderly manner by His Royal Highness King Xian in recent years, and the people love it very much, I don't know if it's true." ”

As soon as Xiao Nai heard Lan Ruo say this, a smug expression couldn't help but appear on his face, and he was about to say something, only to hear He Xi say softly to Ruyi: "Ruyi, I remember that we brought a medicine bag for Niangniang, did you bring it?" ”

Ruyi was stunned, he and He Xi came all the way from the Hehuan Palace, He Xi didn't mention anything about the medicine bag at all, but when he saw He Xi's serious look, he immediately said: "The little master atoned for his sins, and the slave forgot to bring it." ”

He Xi frowned dissatisfiedly, Lan Ruo looked at He Xi and said, "What medicine bag?" ”

He Xi smiled and said: "Wasn't Niangniang sick a few days ago, I remembered that there is a kind of home remedies in our hometown, which polishes these things into powder, with mugwort leaves, which has the effect of calming the mind and sleeping and removing moisture." ”

After speaking, He Xi glanced at Xiao Nai sitting beside the queen as if she was nothing, Xiao Nai didn't know why, but she was not a very stupid person, and she knew that He Xi would not interrupt her words for no reason and say something innocuous about it.

She carefully touched what He Xi had just said, brocade vanilla, Yanpage, ginseng, almonds, brocade...... Beautiful...... Ginseng...... Apricot...... Be careful with your words and deeds!

She suddenly looked at He Xi with wide eyes, and Lan Ruo noticed her abnormality and said, "Nell also knows about this?" ”

Xiao Nai came back to her senses suddenly, only to feel that her back was soaked with layers of cold sweat, soaking through the silk satin underwear, she smiled slowly: "When I was in southern Xinjiang, I had seen such a practice, but I didn't expect that it was Xi who promised to pass it from my hometown." ”

Lan Ruo seemed to be a little suspicious, Zhao Ruxue sneered and said: "The imperial doctors in our palace are all medical saints, how can those folk remedies that are not in the flow get into the eyes of Niangniang, some people are afraid that they don't want to put something in the medicine bag to poison Niangniang!" ”

This hat was buttoned up too much, He Xi hurriedly got up and left his seat, leaned down and said: "Please also ask the mother to be clear, the slave maid just wants to share the worries of the mother, and there will definitely be no trace of disobedience." ”

The hairpin with sideburns trembled gently with He Xi's movements, like a delicate flower that had been devastated in the wind. Lan Ruo saw Xiao Nai's expression, and said coldly: "As soon as the two of you get together, none of them will stop, you have a higher position, and now you have the holy favor, isn't it a little pampered and arrogant?" ”

These words were obviously said to Zhao Ruxue, Zhao Ruxue's expression was stunned, and her mouth was stunned, but those Danfeng's eyes were staring at He Xi deadly, He Xi suspected that if her eyes could kill people, she would have been executed a long time ago.

Lan Ruo had a headache, there was a person in this harem who was willing to stir up trouble, it was not a good thing, and then he remembered the question he had just asked Xiao Nai, and continued: "Naier hasn't answered my question yet." ”

Xiao Nai had already considered the answer in her mind, and she said with a smile: "When Brother Yue went, he was only a few years old, where was he able to govern Southern Xinjiang, or some officials in the imperial court, mainly responsible for Southern Xinjiang, but they have also been older over the years, when I came to the capital this time, I seemed to know that His Majesty had sent a lot of young talents to assist, presumably Southern Xinjiang is blessed, and the people of Southern Xinjiang should love Your Majesty." ”

A seat, although it is not brilliant, but it is also useless, at least Lan Ruo can't get any clues from Xiao Nai's words, He Xi picked up the tea cup in his hand, the green leaves of Biluochun were in the warm tea, slowly stretching out, and the cups with red carp and green bottom were rippling with a slight ripple.

Take a sip, the fragrance of tea spreads on the tip of the tongue, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

With He Xi's reminder, Xiao Nai was very cautious when asked about the affairs of southern Xinjiang, she forgot before that the amiable woman in front of her was the queen of the Great Calendar, Tuoba Chen's wife, and what Brother Yue planned with her father, she may not know, but she also knows that there is a conflict of interest with her.

If He Xi hadn't reminded him today, I was afraid that he would reveal something to Lan Ruo without paying attention, and at the same time, a trace of resentment rose in his heart, why did He Xi come, was it a message from Brother Yue? So she's here to watch herself?

This idea is like a poisonous snake, growing wantonly in her heart, constantly entanglement and gnawing at her mind, Lan Ruo saw that she couldn't ask anything anymore, so she simply avoided the topic, and was afraid that Xiao Nai would find out that she was tricking her.

After chatting for a while, I heard that there were palace people outside who replied: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Xianwang has come down, saying that he is taking Miss Xiao Nai out of the palace." ”

He Xi's hand holding the cup paused, obviously Tuoba Yue did not enter the hall, but she seemed to be able to feel his breathing, and raised her eyes to see the joy bursting out of Xiao Nai's eyes, like a bright light, piercing into He Xi's eyes, and her swollen eyes hurt, as if she was about to roll down tears.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Nai had already said goodbye to the queen here, and walked briskly towards the outside of the hall, seeing the tiredness on the queen's face, Xu Qing'er and Zhao Ruxue also got up and retreated, and He Xi followed them and exited Weiyang Palace.

Walking out of the hall, I happened to see Tuoba Yue reaching out and touching the top of Xiao Nai's hair with a doting face, Xiao Nai raised his head with a smile on his face, and pouted as if he was saying something.

Evoking a smile, He Xi heard his voice ethereal, as if a gust of wind could blow it away: "Ruyi, let's go to the palace." ”

Ruyi blessed her body, and before the two of them went far, they heard Qiao'er's voice from behind: "Xi promised to stay." ”
