There was a sound of footsteps in his ears, and after a moment's effort, a pair of dark embroidered gold dragon pattern boots appeared in front of him, and it was naturally a symbol of the auspicious cloud pattern bright yellow dragon robe of the emperor of the heavenly family, like the encounter on the edge of the rockery of Chuxiu Palace that night.

"Every time I see you, you always get involved in all kinds of right and wrong, is it a coincidence or what?" The voice was cold, it was already May, but people didn't feel the slightest warmth.

He kowtowed and replied, "It's not what the concubine wants." ”

He Xi's attitude was calm and firm, without the slightest fear.

"Oh? Then you tell me, what are you looking for this time? Tuoba Chen was suspicious, the woman in front of her was like the mist of a mountain stream, you thought you saw all of her, and figured out her temperament, but in a blink of an eye, she dispersed, and goodbye was already another form.

It seemed that after thinking about it for a long time, He Xi said in a low voice: "It's just that the concubine heard some movements in Chuxiu Palace that night, so she thought about seeing if she could find some clues and share your Majesty's worries." ”

"Worried about me?" Tuoba Chen was stunned, as if he didn't expect He Xi to think of such a reason after thinking about it, his dark eyes narrowed, and a trace of puzzlement flashed.

After taking a few deep breaths, He Xi seemed to have something unspeakable, and finally came slowly: "That day, the concubine was in Weiyang Palace, and I heard Sister Zhao Concubine say that when Her Majesty went to her palace today, she was always sullen and looked like she had something on her mind...... That's how it came to be. ”

The words turned around slowly, and they were told like this, but it was difficult to hide the sour meaning in them, and a trace of water vapor unconsciously surged in his eyes. But he forcibly resisted it and didn't let it drip down. One hand unconsciously pressed the ground.

Zhao Concubine......

Tuoba Chen was clear, there were faint red marks on He Xi's side face lying on the ground, his emotions eased a little, and he asked tentatively: "I promoted Xu Zhaoyi to be a concubine, and Zhao Meiren was a concubine, are you jealous?" ”

He Xi hurriedly kowtowed, there was panic in his eyes that could not be concealed, and he didn't even dare to look up at Tuoba Chen, who was on the top, and said tremblingly: "Good jealousy is one of the seven out of the people, Your Majesty, does Your Majesty want to ......?"

didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it, but it seemed that it was just such a panic to please Tuoba Chen, he helped He Xi up with some pity, and said softly: "Why are you still so bold, if I really want to deal with you on any charge, can you still return to the Hehuan Hall that night?" ”

He Xi's eyes were ignorant, his eyes were still wet, with a little timidity, when he doubted her, she was fearless, neither humble nor arrogant, but because she had explained her caution thoroughly, she was worried that she would be punished for the seven sins of the people, and she was timid.

Tuoba Chen's heart was inexplicably soft, and he stretched out his finger and gently tapped the tip of her small nose and said: "I know that you are wronged in your heart, Zhao Meiren, and now the scar on your face is not good, but she has been promoted, are you unhappy?" ”

He Xi saw that Tuoba Chen had shifted his attention to this matter, so he put his mind at ease, lowered his head, and whispered: "The concubines don't dare, the concubines don't have the holy grace, and the second family has no bureaucrats in the court, so they can't solve problems for Your Majesty, how dare you be dissatisfied?" ”

He Xi is really one of the more special girls in this group of show girls who entered the palace, and the others are more or less have some backgrounds in their families, even if it is Zhao Ruxue, there is also a father who is the conductor of Changzhou.

"Since Concubine Ai said so, you will help King Xian investigate this matter for me, although King Xian is my royal brother, but he is also a man after all, walking in the palace to investigate, after all, there is evasion, when this matter is over, how about I give you a credit?" The fluttering words made He Xi's heart ecstatic.

But his face did not move at all, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "This ......"

Seeing He Xi's hesitation, Tuoba Chen said suspiciously: "When I didn't allow you to come, you always came secretly, and now that I have made a will, have you changed your mind again?" ”

"The concubines don't dare, but the concubines are harem concubines after all, although His Royal Highness King Xian is the emperor's courtier, but he is also a man after all, at this time, people who have a heart don't know how to arrange the concubines behind their backs, and people are terrible ......"

"Now you know that people are terrible? I saw that you were very bold before, but I think what you said makes sense, even if it is like this, it is only a matter of clear purpose. Tuoba Chen didn't seem to care much, but He Xi had hesitation in his heart, Tuoba Chen was too accommodating to her.

But the words have come to this, and after hesitation, he has to find a way to investigate this matter, He Xi thought about this, and quickly knelt down and thanked the grace.

When Tuoba Chen sent the decree to the Hehuan Palace, it was already evening, and the decree said: The queen is in poor health, and King Xian has returned to the capital for the first time.

Everyone in the Hehuan Hall thanked He Xi happily, and He Xi said: "Today is thanks to the reminder of Father-in-law Fu. ”

Fuqing smiled and said: "It's still the little master who has a way, the old slave saw His Majesty like that today, and felt sorry for the little master, so he casually reminded him, but this matter is ultimately the creation of the little master." ”

This sentence is Fuqing's sincere words, even if he doesn't remind He Xi, He Xi can sense Tuoba Chen's anger. It's just that she was able to retreat with her whole body, and she asked for such a will, and the delicate and weak woman in front of her was really hidden.

"There is one more thing, Your Majesty has ordered, come to the little lord at night, and the little lord is ready to prepare?" After Fuqing finished speaking, he hurriedly returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it was about to be ten minutes for dinner, and there were still people to serve around His Majesty.

The smile froze on his face, different from the joy of the full palace. He Xi felt like a thunderbolt exploding in his head, Ruyi smiled and ordered everyone to clean up the palace, and when he turned his head, he saw He Xi standing in place, still in the posture of Fang Cai, and he didn't even move his expression.

"Little master? Little Lord? After calling twice, He Xi came back to his senses and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"The slave maid still wants to ask, what's wrong with the little master, it's a great thing that Your Majesty is coming here, isn't the little master happy and doesn't know what to do?" Ruyi quipped.

He Xi hooked the corners of her mouth far-fetchedly, she really didn't know how to be good, but she was not happy, but she also knew that since she had made this decision, everything was doomed, and she couldn't accept it.

Closing his eyes, when he opened them for a moment, his eyes were already clear, and he said softly: "Tell me to go down and prepare the Biluochun that Your Majesty loves and harmonizes, as well as peach crisp and plum wine." ”

After all the orders, it was Tuoba Chen's preference, wishful thinking, looking at the little master's silent appearance on weekdays, he thought that he didn't care, but he didn't want to know more than those who carefully inquired about it.

He happily answered and retreated.

When Tuoba Chen arrived at the Hehuan Palace, it was already the end of the day. He Xi sat quietly in the hall, listening to the more leaky ticking sound, the time seemed to return to the first time he entered the palace, at that time Tuoba Chen had just ascended the throne, he was the princess, and he was naturally canonized as the queen, the first night, in Weiyang Palace, sat late at night, and did not wait for Tuoba Chen, and finally Xia Dong couldn't help but tell himself: "Don't wait, the queen mother, the slave maid went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to see, Your Majesty...... His Majesty went to Concubine Lan. ”

That night, like this night, the hall was lit with red candles, and red tears were condensed on the candlesticks of copper flowers, just like my own heart.

In the quiet night, the footsteps of the eunuchs outside the hall carrying the sedan chair were uniform, and every step seemed to be stepping on He Xi's heart, and the muffled pain was painful, until a eunuch sang loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

He Xi knelt down softly with the palace maids and eunuchs in a hall, and shouted in his mouth: "Your Majesty is blessed." ”

Tuoba Chen walked into the store and saw that He Xi had already changed into a lilac peach blossom pattern wide-sleeved long skirt, and the plum blossom makeup he saw in the morning was also removed, leaving the original cinnabar, but it was more beautiful.

Because it was night, there was no extra golden hairpin on the hairpin, only a small peach petal bead flower pressed the sideburns, which was beautiful and elegant, but also had a unique flavor.

Natural carving, clear water out of hibiscus.

Leaned over and took He Xi's hand to help her up from the ground, and in the dim light, her voice was a little ambiguous: "There are more things in the Heart Cultivation Hall today, it's too late, and Concubine Ai has been waiting for a long time." ”

The two walked to the side of the table together, Tuoba Chen glanced down, and found that the snacks and tea on the table were all his favorites, and his heart couldn't help but be more tender and sweet.

"Your Majesty is worried about state affairs, you can't sleep and are tired, and the concubines can wait until Your Majesty comes, which is the blessing of the concubines." Su took the teapot of red plum and white jade and poured a cup of Biluochun for Tuoba Chen, the water vapor was between the two, and Tuoba Chen couldn't see He Xi's expression clearly for a while, but his eyes were attracted by the hands.

Next to the soft white fingers is the porcelain bowl of white jade, which is not inferior at all, and complements each other. I don't know why, such a poem came to mind, the plum and the snow are white, but the snow loses the plum fragrance, the wrist is fragrant, the eyes are darkening, and he pulls He Xi to sit in his arms.

The tip of the nose is a quiet aroma like water, in early summer, the clothes are much thinner, He Xi felt Tuoba Chen's abnormality, his face turned red, and his heart was full of bitterness.

Tuoba Chen only thought that she was untouched, so she was inevitably shy, and got up and picked up He Xi and walked to the bed on the side.

His fingers held his skirt tightly, the sweat in his palm had already soaked the skirt, and his breath became short, Tuoba Chen couldn't help but chuckle when he saw He Xi like this: "Don't be afraid, concubine, I will treat you well." ”

Sinking under him, He Xi was placed on the bed, and under him was a dark red soft collapse of flowers, but He Xi's heart was desolate.
