Hearing Ruyi say this, He Xi said lightly: "This is what you don't know, this child grows up fast, and he is a boy who loves to play, there are more clothes in this place, and it is not a big deal." ”

He Xi measured the cloth according to the size of the child he had hugged in his memory, and then started with the two.

On the other side, in the Shoukang Palace, Rui Zhi helped Concubine De to change out of her heavy palace clothes, and the light and comfortable regular clothes came over, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, why did you think of taking care of this matter today?" ”

Concubine De put the things in her hand on the table, and motioned to the stamen branch to look over, and between the stamen branches was a faded bead flower, which she had also seen in the concubine's makeup, but this branch was missing a moment of pearl.

"What is this?" Rui Zhi didn't understand why Concubine De showed herself this, and Concubine De's expression was a little trance-like looking at the bead flower in front of her, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts and couldn't get out.

She gently rubbed the pearl flower that was missing a pearl with sharp armor, and slowly said: "This pearl flower is the mourning family, and the pearl flower in the makeup is hers, at that time we are all new favorites in the palace, the first emperor loves the two of us the most, it coincides with the South China Sea tribute of a pearl, there are only nine of them, His Majesty likes it very much, and rewarded it to the queen mother at that time, but the mother only left one, and the remaining eight asked craftsmen to create two pearl hairpins, which were given to the mourning family. ”

It seems that he thinks of such a beautiful time, and a smile condenses on his lips.

"At that time, when the Xiliang Kingdom came to the court, and when the palace banquet was for the ministers, I found that the pearl on the pearl flower did not know when one fell, and I was very anxious, and I did not want to lose my demeanor in front of the envoys of the old country. At that time, Xiao Guifei gave me her own one, and she brought the damaged one. was reprimanded by the emperor for this and punished with several months of confinement. Concubine De said leisurely, the past years are like dusty pearls, at this time the dust is brushed away, and in the dark years, it shines.

"For no reason, how could Concubine Xiao help the concubine for nothing?" It's no wonder that Rui Zhi is suspicious, it's just that there are very few people in this harem who really think about others, and they must have selfish desires and goals.

How do you know that Concubine De smiled lightly and said: "The mourning family also thought so at the time, and later the mourning family asked her what she wanted in return, but she said that she just felt that Xiliang was the homeland of the mourning family, and she felt sorry for the mourning family to marry and kiss far away, and just wanted to tell everyone in front of her family that she was doing well now." ”

"Concubine Xiao Guifei is really a delicate person." Rui Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

"But this is such a person, but she died tragically in the palace like that, the mourning family, she couldn't do anything, she once saved the face of the mourning family in front of the shower, but the mourning family couldn't say a word for her, Ruizhi, you say, isn't it too much for the mourning family?"

This matter is a secret in the palace, almost few people know about it, the first emperor issued an order to seal the mouths of all insiders, and sent the seven princes to southern Xinjiang at that time, and they were not allowed to enter Beijing without a call.

"The concubine can't help herself, a woman like Xiao Guifei won't blame the concubine." Infinite regret.

"Now her son is coming to the mourning family with this pearl flower, where is the reason why the mourning family does not go, it should be regarded as returning this favor." Concubine De seemed to have said a lot, gradually became tired, and closed her eyes.

Rui Zhi was interested, so he didn't speak, and in an instant, there was no trace of popularity in the entire hall, and only a more leaky and ticking voice was left reminding the world that time passed, and the years flew by.

On the other side, the Luhua Palace where Lan Xin lives is adjacent to Lan Ruo's Weiyang Palace, and the location is closer to Tuoba Chen's Great Yang Heart Palace than Xu Qing'er's Bingquan Palace.

This is also the emperor's personal order to move over, and the word Luhua is also taken from the two words in "Yun wants clothes, flowers want to Rong, and the spring breeze blows Revlon", which is enough to see Tuoba Chen's attention to Lanxin.

Originally, Lan Xin was still complacent, this eldest prince can be raised by herself, in a sense, she is a higher level than her sister Lan Ruo.

But she didn't want things to be as simple as she thought, the child was frightened before, and then she reacted and kept clamoring to see her mother.

Lan Xin persuaded him softly at first, but how could he be reasonable with a child, when the child threw the rattle handed by Lan Xin to the ground again, Lan Xin's patience was finally exhausted.

She raised her hand suddenly, slapped the child in the face, and reprimanded coldly: "I tell you, your mother is dead, from now on, whether you want to or not, you can only follow this palace, do you hear?" If you cry again, don't eat today! ”

The crying stopped abruptly, the child seemed to have never been beaten like this, and a bright red slap print immediately floated on his dirty little face, Lan Xin shook her numb palm, and said to the palace maid on the side: "Take it down, wash it, and then find ice cubes to put on your face, don't let people see it." ”

The palace maid hurriedly led the eldest prince to retreat, looked at the back of the child who was still struggling, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's really bad luck to cry and cry." ”

Since then, Lan Xin has become more and more distracted by this child, and handed him over to the nurse sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and after routinely asking several times a day, she will no longer be disciplined.

This has been the case for several days, and Tuoba Chen seems to have forgotten the matter of naming the child, which was originally a noble status, but now in the eyes of everyone, it seems like a joke.

The people below have always been accustomed to seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and they have become more and more slack in getting things done.

He Xi had seen the child, the clothes on his body were dirty, and there were oil stains on his body from eating before, and he was squatting next to the rockery to play by himself.

When he heard a little sound, he was like a frightened bird, hiding on his short legs, and when he saw that the person who came was just a subordinate, he came out again and played by himself.

Ruyi looked distressed for a while, and Lan Xin on the side looked at He Xi's painful appearance in the center of her eyes, and said disapprerovantly: "My sister doesn't know if she has no children, this child, especially a boy, can't be too squeamish, you have to beat and practice." ”

He Xi didn't answer, but just looked at the child fixedly, and the words that Tuoba Yue said to himself before sounded in his heart: This child is the most suitable to be by your side.

For a while, she finally made up her mind, since no matter where she was, she was going to be taken advantage of, at least she could protect him, right?

Thinking of this, she stepped forward and squatted beside the child, Lan Xin saw the eldest prince who was usually the most afraid of people, as if he couldn't feel He Xi's arrival, and still paddled around the ground with a stone.

He Xi also picked up a small pebble and drew it on the ground like him.

The subordinates all laughed in a low voice, and Lan Xin's eyes also had a mocking emotion, and she said in a mocking tone: "I said Sister Xi, is it that now your intelligence has become like a child?" ”

He Xi didn't care, she just squatted there, her water-colored skirt was on the ground, stained with some dirt, and she didn't care.

Suddenly, the eldest prince lifted the stone in his hand, filled two eyes on the face of the person He Xi painted, and then raised his little face and smiled sweetly at He Xi.

This is a kind of recognition, He Xi's smile deepened, and he pulled his little hand, but he retracted it suddenly, as if he was in pain.

He Xi was puzzled and wanted to pull his palm to look, but was forcibly helped up by a palace maid beside Lan Xin and said: "Concubine Xi, let's follow our mother into the palace, the eldest prince likes to play here alone, if someone disturbs, he will cry after a long time." ”

He Xi looked at the child, and said with a smile on his face: "The eldest prince is still young, and it is common for him to like to cry, but it has worked hard for Concubine Hui." ”

Lan Xin's eyes were full of smugness, and she didn't say much, but politely invited He Xi into the inner hall, the two didn't have anything to say, just said a few words lightly, and He Xi left some clothes he made for the eldest prince, and got up to say goodbye.

Lan Xin caught a glimpse of those clothes and said to her subordinates: "Send them to the eldest prince's room." After saying that, his eyes turned slightly, and he whispered a few words to his personal maid Linglong.

Linglong seemed a little unbearable, but she still didn't say anything and retreated.

In the evening, Tuoba Yue stayed in Luhua Palace, after the cloud and rain, Lan Xin lay on Tuoba Chen's chest, her face was red, and her voice was a little hoarse and said: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the flower feast, I don't know if Your Majesty can reward the concubines with face?" ”

Tuoba Chen laughed sullenly, and even his chest was shaken, he gently scraped Lan Xin's pale face, and said, "Now that I have handed over the eldest prince to you to raise, can't the concubine feel such a face?" ”

Lan Xin was afraid of itching, so she hid in Tuoba Chen's arms, and said with a pout: "This concubine naturally knows that His Majesty trusts the concubine, and it's just tomorrow's flower-viewing banquet——"

"Don't worry, I'll go tomorrow." Tuoba Chen agreed, Lan Xin was also satisfied, and the two were about to rest, when they heard a noisy sound of footsteps outside.

Immediately followed by Linglong's scolding voice: "What are you arguing about?" Your Majesty and Niangniang have already stopped, what kind of system is it to be so noisy, and they will not retreat! ”

But I didn't know what the person on the other side whispered, and Linglong's voice also said anxiously: "But go to ask for a doctor?" ”

As soon as she heard that she had asked for a doctor, Lan Xin personally put on a middle coat and got up, lit a candle, and said aloud outside: "But what happened?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, something happened to the eldest prince!" There was also urgency in Linglong's voice.

When Tuoba Chen heard this, he quickly got up.
