Emperor Yongan did not stay in Yongshou Palace, but summoned Qingcai.

After Emperor Yong'an and the concubines sitting there left the water pavilion one after another, Lingxi stood up with the lotus leaf's hand, walked to the Xin Concubine who was still kneeling on the ground, lowered her body slightly, and sneered, "Xin Concubine, you said that if you come to ask for marriage one day, and marry with the ice lotus in your hand, is it the fifth princess under the knee of the palace, or the fourth princess on your side?" ”

Lingxi stretched out his hand, provoked the fourth princess to be a little scared, and with an unyielding little face, raised her eyebrows and praised, "The fourth princess really followed Concubine Xin's flowery beauty, although she was young, but that aura came out." When she grows up, she must be a beauty who captivates the country and the city. ”

Concubine Xin took the fourth princess into her arms, glanced at Lingxi in fear, trembled her voice, and said, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, Shi'er is still young, she is not sensible, she didn't mean to." ”

Lingxi stood up straight, took the plain white handkerchief from the lotus leaf's hand, and carefully wiped the slender jade hand that had picked the chin of the fourth princess. As soon as the hand was released, the handkerchief fluttered and fell, blooming into a white lotus flower beside Xin Concubine.

"The fourth princess said that she was not big, and she said that she was six years old." Lingxi looked at Concubine Xin, lightly opened her lips, and said, "The emperor has a sentence that is right, the discipline of the fourth princess must not be relaxed. This palace remembers that our princess Da Shun Yan will be accompanied by four mammas who teach etiquette and two mammas who teach calligraphy. And the princess only has two ceremonial grandmothers and one grandmother who learns words. I think that the rules of the fourth princess have not been learned well, it must have something to do with teaching Mama Xi. ”

"No, the concubines don't dare, the concubines don't dare!" Concubine Xin hugged the fourth princess tightly, and begged for mercy again and again, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, after the concubine goes back, she will teach the fourth princess carefully, and she will not let the fourth princess know the etiquette like this again, never again." ”

The corners of Lingxi's mouth provoked a hint of a smile, looked at Xin Concubine who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Xin Concubine is the emperor's own concubine, how can these hard work make Xin Concubine bother." In the future, there will be as many grandmothers as the five princesses, and they will also be four etiquette grandmothers. ”

After a pause, Lingxi's eyes showed a trace of cruelty, and he sneered, "But you can't learn the same as the fifth princess, the two extra teaching grandmothers, just teach the fourth princess to learn the etiquette of the big moon and the snow country......"

Concubine Xin knelt on the ground and hugged the fourth princess trembling, looking at Lingxi's eyes full of fear.

The fifth princess stepped forward and took Lingxi's hand, and said softly, "Mother, the wind is blowing, let's go back." ”

Lingxi took the hand of the fifth princess and walked out of the water pavilion, took two steps, she stopped again, looked back and smiled at Xin Concubine, "Since the fourth princess likes lotuses, the palace will give the fourth princess a ...... that can't be stepped on tomorrow."

After speaking, he held the fifth princess with his right hand, supported the arm of the lotus leaf with his left hand, and returned to the Luoxue Pavilion with a high spirit.

Back in the inner hall of the Luoxue Pavilion, the fifth princess sat beside Lingxi and said to Lingxi, "Mother, mother, in the last life, the fourth princess also robbed me of lotus flowers, but it was during the day. Later, she pushed me into the pond, and my father was so angry that he punished the four princesses for kneeling by the lotus pond for a day. ”

Lingxi played with the delicate little hands of the fifth princess and said with a soft smile, "You see, many things are different from before. Therefore, my mother will definitely not let you go and kiss. If it weren't for the bad things of the fourth princess today, your father would have issued a holy decree not to allow the royal princess to kiss her......" Lingxi sighed and frowned, "It's just two words, just two words, and your father will finish that sentence." ”

It is precisely because of this that Lingxi is full of anger and makes things difficult for Xin Concubine.

If the fourth princess is interesting, she returns to the water pavilion and picks up the lotus flowers handed over by the fifth princess, obediently, being a likable princess, Emperor Yongan will definitely be able to finish that sentence.

But the four princesses are not! If you have to make trouble at that time, you will ruin the warm atmosphere created by Lingxi for one night.

"Mother, if you frown again, you're going to get wrinkles." The fifth princess stretched out her hand and rubbed Lingxi's forehead, and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, as long as I am obedient and please my father, my father will definitely not send me to kiss." ”

"Mu'er." Lingxi grabbed the little hand of the fifth princess and asked inquiringly, "Why don't you ask your father to show you the marriage before you grow up?" The eighth princess of the first emperor was the marriage when she was nine years old......"

The fifth princess shook her head, and the two beads on her bun trembled, "Don't, our Dashun women pay attention to three obedience and four virtues." If my father points me to marry, then I must marry when I grow up, so I don't want to ......"

Lingxi sighed and hugged the fifth princess into her arms, "Okay, my mother will think of a way to let you marry a lovely colt......"

------------

Lingxi did what he said, and on the second day of the fifth prince's birthday, he really ordered someone to send a brocade box to Xin Concubine's Hall of Mercy.

Xin Concubine looked at the square red forged brocade box on the table, inlaid with an emerald the size of a finger cover, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

The fourth princess has a child's heart, and the unhappiness that happened in the Yongshou Palace the night before has been forgotten.

She was happy to play outside, and when she ran in and saw Concubine Xin crying, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mother, why are you crying?" ”

As soon as Concubine Xin saw the fourth princess who was smiling innocently in front of her, she covered her mouth with a brocade and cried even more.

The fourth princess saw that there was an extra brocade box on the table, and asked, "Mother, what is in this brocade box?" ”

Concubine Xin twisted her body, turned her back to the fourth princess, and sobbed, "That's, that's what Concubine Ye rewarded you." ”

All kinds of things in the water pavilion came to the minds of the four princesses, and the four princesses were angry, stretched out their little hands and knocked the brocade box to the ground, and said angrily, "Who is rare in her reward, isn't it just because her father likes her, and she bullies her mother like this?" Mother, when Shi'er grows up, Shi'er will help you get angry! ”

The brocade box fell in response, fell to the ground with a 'bang', and scattered.

When Concubine Xin heard the voice, she hurriedly turned around, and just wanted to reprimand the fourth princess for breaking the crystal lotus flower that was rewarded by the Lingxi. But I saw that what rolled out of the delicate brocade box was a palm-sized, stalked, leafy, and exquisitely made mahogany lotus.

-----------

In the Luoxue Pavilion, Xiao Dezi stood in front of Lingxi, bent down slightly, and said in a moderate volume, "Niangniang, after the slave put the brocade box on the table in the Hall of Mercy, Concubine Xin's face turned green, and she was about to cry when she saw it. But I still gave a reward to the minions to let the minions come back......"

Qiaozhu was holding a short-handled incense burner to smoke a fan, and after hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Dezi, who was smiling awkwardly, and smiled, and said, "Let her teach the fourth princess badly, she deserves it!" ”

"Niangniang, do you really plan to send two more Sect Grandma to the fourth princess?" Lotus Ye put a plate of pear blossom crystal cake on the table, handed Lingxi a clean plain silver hairpin, and asked, "Do you really want the fourth princess to go and kiss?" ”

Lingxi took the little silver hairpin, tied up a piece of pear blossom crystal cake, and said with a smile, "I'm just a little concubine, how can I have the right to decide whether the fourth princess will go to harmony or not?" It's just that the four princesses disturbed my good deeds yesterday, and I just wanted to scare their mother and daughter. Taking a bite of the crystal clear pear blossom crystal cake on the tip of the hairpin, Lingxi said again, "But if there is really a foreign person who comes to ask for marriage, the fourth princess is the elder sister, of course she went." The eldest and youngest are smooth, isn't she still the fifth princess and not ......?"

"That's nature." Qiaozhu put the smoked fan aside, took the delicately embroidered handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Our fifth princess should be in the capital safely, pointing out a good horse, and then live happily for the rest of her life." ”

Just as he was talking and laughing, Hanyu walked in from the outside, and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Concubine Xin came with the fourth princess, saying that she came to thank you for your reward." ”

"Thank you, thank you?" Lingxi tied up another piece of crystal cake with a silver hairpin, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The reason for appreciating the fourth princess wood lotus is because this palace is not qualified to appreciate crystal lotus, is it possible that she still thinks that this palace is no longer annoyed with her in her heart?" Let her go back, let her teach the fourth princess well if she is fine, otherwise one day she will make herself unhappy, and she will burden others in vain. ”

Hanyu listened carefully, and Fu Shen retreated.

Lotus Ye moved an ice box from the outside and put it on the carved table next to the bamboo couch, picked up the jade-smoked fan, and gently fanned the Lingxi with a cool breeze, while saying unintentionally, "Niangniang, the slave maid has already gone to the Yeting Palace to inquire, and Hanyan and Xiaoyingzi have no relatives outside the palace." As soon as his voice tightened, Lotus Leaf lowered his head and said, "They are all from poor backgrounds." ”

Hanyan and Xiaoyingzi were reduced to ashes in the fire, except for the two beaded flowers that were burned so that they could not be distinguished, only a few leg bones that had not been completely turned into ashes.

The smile on Qiaozhu's face was gone, his head was lowered, and two tears fell from the handkerchief that was being smoked. She took the short-handled incense burner, muttered in a low voice, 'Slave maid go to add spices,' and then turned and went out.

In the days when she was crazy and stupid, Hanyan was the person who took care of her the most. If it weren't for the smoke, Qiaozhu might not have survived now. Now that the smoke is gone, Qiaozhu's heart is uncomfortable.

Lingxi put the pear blossom crystal cake tied up in his hand back into the white jade butterfly, picked up the brocade and wiped the corners of his mouth, and had no appetite anymore.

Xiao Dezi coughed dryly, cleared his throat, put on a smiling face, and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, the slave will tell you something new." ”

Lingxi sighed, and after sorting out his mood, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Say, what's going on these days?" ”

"Didn't the previous slave tell Niangniang that the eighth princess born by Chen Jieyu had a wind chill? Yesterday, I invited the doctor to take a look, but I didn't find a reason, so I prescribed some medicine and left. Xiao Dezi said, "Today, the emperor went down to the morning court, and he went to Wan Guifei for lunch." But as soon as lunch came up, the emperor's chopsticks hadn't moved yet, and someone from Chen Jieyu came to recruit the emperor, saying that Chen Jieyu was very sick and wanted to see the emperor. ”

Lingxi pinched her white fingers and counted the days, and said, "The eighth princess was born on the twenty-seventh, and Chen Jieyu got the wind cold at the twenty-eighth, which is really a blessing." Then, Chen Jieyu lived in the Yide Palace of Wan Gui Concubine, so openly went to Wan Gui Concubine's Yiyang Palace to rob people, with Wan Gui Concubine's current temperament, I am afraid she can't tolerate it. ”

"That's exactly what the mother said." Xiao Dezi smiled and said, "Concubine Wan didn't say anything, but she followed the emperor to Ningxiang Pavilion together, saying that she would see Chen Jieyu together." ”

"That's nothing, it's human nature."

"But Wangui's concubine ordered someone to call the imperial doctor to go with her."

"Yo~" Lingxi chuckled, "Concubine Wan's mind is not ordinary, this trick is clever!" ”
