The smile on the corner of He Xi's lips was still a smile, but the smile seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, with a chilling air, she took the bud, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, and said to Tuoba Lin: "It's so fragrant, Lin'er has a heart, but who picked this lotus?" ”

Tuoba Lin saw that He Xi liked it, and said with joy: "It was Lin'er who picked it herself, and Sister Zipei said that it was only when she picked it herself that Lin'er had a heart." ”

He Xi lowered his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that there were a little water stains on his small shoes embroidered with golden carp, and Ruyi couldn't help frowning on the side, looking at the nurse and the two young women standing in the hall.

He Xi pulled Tuoba Lin and said: "It's a good thing that you show your heart to your mother, it's just that the waterside is dangerous, you are still young, and you don't have the ability to protect yourself, you are not allowed to go again next time, do you hear?" ”

Tuoba Lin snuggled in He Xi's arms and said, "Lin'er knows." ”

He Xi turned his head to Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, the eldest prince's shoes are wet, you take him down to change a pair, so as not to catch the cold." ”

Ruyi was busy responding, so he took Tuoba Lin down, and the nurse saw it and hurriedly said, "The slave and maid will also follow." ”

He Xifang rolled his eyes, and his whole face sank and said, "No need, I have something to say to you." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the lotus flower that Tuoba Lin handed over to her, put it in the palm of her hand and played with it, and read: "The beauty covers the present and the past, and the lotus flower is shy and jade--it is really a good poem." ”

Zijin gently bumped Zipei's shoulder with his shoulder, Zipei stepped forward with a proud face and said: "It was the slave maid who handed it over to the eldest prince, and the slave maid heard that the Xi nobles were more delicate than the flowers, and they were very loved by His Majesty. ”

He Xi's smile gradually sank, and he personally put the lotus in the pottery jar in the courtyard, which was filled with clear water, which was originally used to release water, but in order to look good, he usually raised some flowers and koi fish in it, which was elegant and beautiful, and he could also pray for peace.

The lotus floated lightly in the water, looking tight, Zi Pei saw that He Xi liked it, so she became more and more proud, but the pride didn't stay on her face for long, and she heard He Xi's voice and said: "You are indeed a shallow learner-" Zi Pei was stunned, and then her face didn't look good, she said: "Yes, slave-"

He Xi walked in front of her, sat on the main seat, and said, "Do you know who this poem is written about?" ”

Zipei knelt on the ground for some reason, Zijin saw that his sister was suppressed like this, and also knelt down to help speak: "It's just a poem praising the little master, I'm afraid the little master will think too much." ”

He Xi looked at Zijin and Zipei, who were kneeling on the ground like a pair of twin flowers, and couldn't help but be a little curious, what was the queen keeping these two people for, was it just to share her favor?

She said with a cold look: "This poem is good, but it praises Xi Shi, but you are afraid that you have forgotten that Xi Shi is a disaster for the country, you compare me to Xi Shi, and you really exalt me." ”

When Zipei heard this, her face turned white with fright, she just thought of such a poem at random, she wanted to please and flatter He Xi, where would she think of the allusion behind this, she hurriedly leaned over and knelt down, kowtowed, a little face showed a little pale because of fear, but it became more and more delicate and pitiful, which made people unbearable, Zijin felt sorry for her sister, and also pleaded, and there was already a cry in her voice: "Little master, Zipei didn't mean it, our sister read little, I don't know the allusions, and please let the little master spare her unintentional loss." ”

He Xi just looked at the two of them crying, indifferent, and the grandmother said a little unbearably: "Little master, according to the meaning of the slave maid, Miss Zipei-"

He Xi glanced at him coldly and said, "What do you think?" You are the nurse of the eldest prince, and I leave the eldest prince in your care on weekdays, what did I say when I left? Warning you not to take the prince out of the house, save yourself from colliding with others, you don't take it out quickly, and let the prince personally pick lotus, I ask you, if the prince accidentally falls into the water, this responsibility, can you afford it, or can't afford it? ”

The grandmother didn't expect that she hadn't begged for mercy for Zipei, but she was burned, she had always held herself as the nurse of the eldest prince, although she had never fed the eldest prince, but most of the food and clothing were arranged by her, and naturally she gave birth to a little different concept from others.

But I didn't want to, He Xi didn't give her face at all, especially in front of these two girls who would serve by the prince's side in the future, she couldn't help but lose face, but what He Xi said was right, it was her negligence, thinking of this, and remembering what He Xi warned herself in the morning, cold sweat couldn't help but trickle down, knelt on the ground and said: "The slave knows her mistake, and the slave and maid will take care of the emperor in the future, and she will definitely be doubly careful, such a thing will not happen again." ”

Seeing this, Zijin and Zipei also agreed: "Little master, slaves and maids will take care of the eldest prince in the future, and they must be careful and follow the teachings of the little master." ”

He Xi waved his hand, and said as if he was a little tired: "Okay, I will spare you this time because you are all first-time offenders, and there will be a next time for important things, and you will definitely be severely punished, Mama, you are an old man who serves the eldest prince, you must be careful, these two girls are under your hands, if you make a mistake, but you will also be inspected for your responsibility, do you know?" ”

Seeing that He Xi was exempted from punishment, the grandmother was very grateful, and when she heard her instructions, she felt more and more that she had a great responsibility, and she was reprimanded by the little master for speaking for these two girls recently, so she was anxious in her heart, but she just thought that she must take a good look at these two girls in the future, and don't cause trouble for herself.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The slave and maid know, and the slave and maid must remember the little master's teachings. So saying, he went down with a thousand thanks. Zijin and Zipei glanced at each other and said, "Thank you, little master." ”

He Xi hummed softly. The two walked out of the hall lightly, and found that Mama was standing outside the hall watching and waiting for the two, and before they could speak, the Mama said coldly: "You have also heard the words of the little master, and in the future, hide those little clever and careful thoughts, don't be seen by me, otherwise, you will have to suffer hardship." ”

Zipei had already suffered a lot of anger in the house, and now he was scolded for no reason, so he became more and more aggrieved, and just wanted to speak, only to feel that Zijin pulled himself the side and said: "What Mama said is that we are not thoughtful, and we will be more careful in the future, but my young sister has just arrived, and I will still need a lot of help from Mama in the future." ”

As she spoke, she took out a small earring from her cuff, although the earring looked small, but it was decorated with a delicate ruby, which was also a valuable thing. ”

The grandmother squeezed it in her hand, it was cold, but she was very satisfied, nodded and said: "Okay, I didn't mean to embarrass you, isn't this all for the eldest prince, go back and tidy up, clean up, just come to the eldest prince's room to find me." ”

Zijin and Zipei thanked each other in a hurry, and then sent the grandmother away.

Zijin pulled Zipei to the palace maid's room, Zipei saw that there was no one around, so she sat on the bed angrily, and said angrily: "Sister, I just want to please her, look at her like that, do you really think that she is the master of this palace?" It's just a little nobleman, and in my opinion, the queen is not as big as hers. ”

Zijin hurriedly said with a cold look: "Zipei, you are not wrong, it's just that no matter what we do today, she will always find some mistakes for us." ”

Zi Pei was still angry, and when he heard Zijin say this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why? ”

Zijin smiled, that smile was three points bright, seven points coquettish, Concubine Hui was also coquettish, but Concubine Hui's coquettishness was more like blooming peach blossoms, but they were like unknown wildflowers on the side of the road, charming with a hint of wildness.

She said: "I told her today that we were transferred by the Empress Materia Medica to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

With just one sentence, Zipei understood what was going on, and the grievances and sorrows in her heart suddenly dissipated like a cloud of smoke, and she said, "It's still my sister who is smart." ”

Zijin took Zipei's hand and said: "It's not as usual now, we serve the eldest prince, she is not a good person, we must protect ourselves." ”

Zipei nodded, and the two sisters went to the eldest prince's bedroom together.

Because Zijin gave the nurse and mother benefits before, the two of them who were no longer embarrassed by the grandmother explained some precautions with a pleasant face.

On the other side, Ruyi Fang came out of the eldest prince's bedroom, and saw Lu Chuan coming in a hurry, she hurriedly smiled and asked, "Didn't Imperial Doctor Lu go to check Concubine Hui's pulse?" Why did you turn back again? ”

Lu Chuan looked at the palace people who looked at him, and then raised his voice and said: "The minister sent medicine to the little master a few days ago, and I remembered that there was still a medicine that was not delivered, and I remembered it today, so I came to make up for it." ”

Ruyi was stunned, and hurriedly invited Imperial Physician Lu to come in, He Xi was staring at the lotus in the pottery jar, and saw Ruyi taking Lu Chuan in, Ruyi said: "Imperial Physician Lu said that there is a medicine I forgot to give to the little master last time, and I will make up for it this time." ”

He Xi understood, this was Lu Chuan had something to say to herself, she nodded, and said to Ruyi: "You go outside and watch, don't let people disturb you." ”

Ruyi answered, then covered the door, stood under the corridor, in the hall, He Xi invited Lu Chuan to sit down, and said""": "Imperial Doctor Lu went and returned, but what is the matter?" ”

Lu Chuan arched his hand and said: "The minister has something to tell the little master, today the minister visited Concubine Shu Niangniang and found that Concubine Shu's illness is a little abnormal. ”

He Xi couldn't help but say, "Oh? What anomaly? ”
