Thinking of this, Jiang Li'er's good-looking eyebrows were screwed together, and He Xi sat beside Jiang Li'er respectfully, and said in a low voice: "County Lord, what's wrong?" But are you still thinking about the marriage with the little prince? ”

Mrs. Qin immediately cheered up, Jiang Li'er just wanted to refute, but she didn't want He Xi'er to say firmly to Jiang Li'er: "The county lord's mind and the people understand it, but no matter what, the county lord can't joke with his body, so everyone is worried-"

She bit everyone very hard, Jiang Li'er knew that He Xi was reminding herself that if she was like this, Ning Yi would be worried if she knew.

Thinking of Ning Yi, Jiang Li'er's eyes turned red, but she was worried that she would be noticed by Mrs. Qin, so she hurriedly lowered her head.

He Xi sighed in his heart, Jiang Li'er's temperament is really not suitable for this palace.

Mrs. Qin looked at the two of them, and only felt a little strange, it stands to reason that after so many years, she still sees the state of Jiang Li'er and Ning Yi in her eyes, and the Miss Mu in front of her can be regarded as snatching love with a knife, and the look of sympathy between the two of them now is indeed confusing.

The room fell into silence for a while, and Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "The county lord should relax, instead of gambling with the queen mother, it is better to take advantage of the fact that he has not yet married, and he will be well * knee, if the old princess and Prince Kang return to the fiefdom next month, I want to come to your marriage is also close, the folk saying is that the girl who married out splashed the water, if you want to go back to the palace in the future, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

He Xi tilted his head and asked, "Oh? Is it so fast? The little prince will return to the fiefdom next month? ”

Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "No, I also heard what the Queen Mother and the old princess said today." ”

He Xi calculated the time, now Ning Yi must have arrived in Xizhou, could it be that the Queen Mother Xi is so confident that she can get rid of Ning Yi in a short time?

Her hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and suddenly she was a little worried, now she is pregnant for eight months, the older the month, the more dangerous it is, maybe not one, she will have to give birth, I am afraid that she will not be able to take care of herself at that time, let alone be able to protect Jiang Li'er.

Seeing her frowning, Jiang Li'er only thought that she had thought of something, and couldn't help but get nervous, and said, "But what's wrong?" ”

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it, she forgot that Mrs. Qin was still there, and then added: "Or are you unwell?" ”

Mrs. Qin is a straightforward character, thinking that the county lord was worried about this Miss Mu's body, so she also echoed: "Yes, although I have never given birth, but I know the hardships of giving birth, if you are not well, let's come back another day, and the county lord will understand." ”

What she said was us, and it would be difficult for her to see Jiang Li'er alone in the future.

Yu'er, a personal maid beside Mrs. Qin, stepped forward and joked: "That's it, Miss Mu, our lord has been looking forward to our lady giving birth to a little master, and our lady is also preparing, I will bother you a lot in the future, be happy, and fill in a little boy with both civil and military skills for the house as soon as possible——"

Mrs. Qin was about to slap her in the face, but Yu'er dodged it with a smile, but Mrs. Qin couldn't hide her envy: "They men are easy, how do you know the hardships of a woman's birth, you have no one to take care of in this palace, I will definitely come to see you when I have time in the future, and accompany you to talk to the county lord——"

This is very nice to say on the face, but He Xi knows that the master and servant are united, and they are looking for a suitable reason to pave the way back.

But since it was delivered to the door, she had no reason to refuse.

She nodded and said, "Mrs. Xie Qin carries love—"

After a few simple words, He Xi excused himself to leave, and Jiang Li'er was unwilling to spend energy dealing with Mrs. Qin, so she didn't leave them to eat, and several people left with their own thoughts.

After Mrs. Qin left, she did not leave the palace immediately, but went to Yikun Palace, wanting to tell the Queen Mother about today's events.

But he only saw Xing'er standing in front of the gate of Yikun Palace, Xing'er was indifferent, as if he didn't know Mrs. Qin, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Qin, the Queen Mother has already rested, if you have anything to say, it is better to tell the slave maid, wait until the Queen Mother wakes up, and the slave and maid will go and spread the word." ”

Mrs. Qin's face suddenly became gloomy, she snorted coldly, and said, "What kind of thing are you, I want to return to the Empress Dowager, and I can also pass through the mouth of a lowly servant of yours?" ”

Xing'er didn't care, as if she didn't understand Madam Qin's cynicism at all.

Still expressionless, he said: "Whether Madame believes it or not, it is the will of the Queen Mother that the slave and maid are here, maybe the Queen Mother just thinks that your words are right through the mouth of the slave and maid?" ”

Madam Qin was furious, Yang raised her hand, and beckoned to Xing'er's face.

Yu'er was so frightened that she was stunned, and just as she wanted to step forward to dissuade her, she saw that Mrs. Qin's hand stopped at a distance of half an inch from Xing'er's cheek and couldn't fall.

It was Xing'er who grabbed Mrs. Qin's wrist, and Mrs. Qin was extremely angry, and said angrily: "Bold-"

Xing'er approached Mrs. Qin and said slowly: "Madam, the slave didn't do anything wrong, and it depends on the master to beat the dog, originally I was from the Taiwei Mansion, you beat and scolded me, I don't dare to complain, but now, I am the person next to the Queen Mother, and Madam is better to be more restrained——"

The Qin family has relied on the favor of the Queen Mother for so many years, and in this palace, it is Li Ren and Zike who are respectful to her, and now that she has been taught by this fox girl, how can she endure this breath? ”

She struggled desperately to wrestle her wrist, but her fingers, which were still like iron tongs, actually let go of her strength, Mrs. Qin was overjoyed, pulled out her hand, and hit it, Xing'er did not dodge or dodge, and the slap was clear and loud.

Even Madam Qin herself was startled by the sound.

When I looked up again, I saw Xing'er covering her cheek with one hand, her eyes full of tears, tears in her eyes, and her eyes full of grievances.

Completely devoid of Fang Cai's momentum and fearlessness, Madam Qin felt strange, but the next moment she knew the reason.

Because a man rushed up from behind her and knocked her to a stumbling ground.

Yu'er hurriedly helped her, and Mrs. Qin looked at the familiar figure who couldn't walk towards Xing'er, only to feel that every step was on the tip of her heart, almost tearing her heart apart.

She said in a trembling voice, "Master—"

Qin Hao's body shook suddenly, and he said after a while: "I have something to tell the Queen Mother, but I don't want to see you sprinkle in this Yikun Palace, do you really think that this Yikun Palace is the back garden of the palace?" If you can't get used to it, you will be beaten and scolded? ”

Seeing that Qin Hao didn't save half of her face, Mrs. Qin suppressed the grievances in her heart and said, "She provoked the concubine first, and the concubine was just—just—"

She snorted twice, and then suddenly realized that the star in front of her was shaking her shoulders and sobbing, as if she had been greatly wronged, and she was domineering, and even slapped her, who bullied whom, you can see at a glance.

Yu'er tugged at the corner of her clothes behind her, trying to make her say less, but how did she swallow this breath, and sure enough, she heard her familiar, slightly mocking voice say, "Is it true that the master is distressed about the star girl?" But don't forget, sir, this star girl is not one of those foxes in your backyard now, let you be included in the house, and it is not for me, the wife, to be the master of the sale, now she is the person next to the queen of heaven, and this decision, the lord can also agree, and now I fake pity, don't you think you are too hypocritical? ”

Qin Hao's face was pale, he didn't want to quarrel with the Qin family anymore, so he said to a Tsing Yi guard beside him: "Lu Ran, send Mrs. back to the house-"

The guard named Lu Ran on the side has a long scar on the left side of his face, extending from his eyebrows to his chin, which looks very terrifying, and he usually speaks little, and his martial arts are very effective, so he is very valued by Qin Hao.

Lu Ran answered, then walked in front of Mrs. Qin, and said in a low voice, "Madam, please—"

Mrs. Qin stomped her feet angrily, no longer looked at the two people in front of her, and left angrily.

After Mrs. Qin left, Qin Hao suppressed the enthusiasm in his tone and said to Xing'er, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Xing'er burst into laughter, shook her head half shyly, nodded again, and then said with some annoyance: "Let the master worry, maybe Xing'er is ignorant and annoyed Madame, this slap is what Xing'er deserves." ”

Qin Hao's heart became more and more softened because of Xing'er's words.

As she was talking, Zi Ke came out from the inside, and saw Xing'er talking to Qin Hao with a smile, she had been in the palace for so many years, and she was used to seeing how many concubines competing for favor and position, she saw it really, the eagerness and connection in Qin Hao's eyes, and the desire and rejection in Jiang Li'er's eyes.

She coughed lightly, interrupting the ambiguity between the two, and then said aloud: "Lord Qin, the Queen Mother is waiting for you inside-"

Qin Hao nodded, glanced at Xing'er reluctantly, and entered the inner hall. Zi Ke walked to Xing'er's side, leaned over slightly and said, "I advise you to put away those careful thoughts, don't spoil the old princess's affairs." ”

Xing'er rubbed her face, pushed Zike away, and walked forward.

Zi Ke has taken Xing'er's offenses several times to heart, but now that the Empress Dowager is in the West, she really can't move this Xing'er.

At this time, Mrs. Qin hurriedly walked all the way, and the hem of her skirt hit the flower tree on the side, and she was shocked to drop a burst of broken leaves.

Lu Ran was like a ghost, quietly following Mrs. Qin, she was fast as he was, she was slow as he was, and the two of them kept a fixed distance from each other, neither disturbing nor negligent.

Yu'er panted and said, "Madame—Madame, let's rest—"

Her little face was as swollen as an apple, and Mrs. Qin came back to her senses, only to feel a tightness in her chest, a faint pain, and found a stone bench to sit down.
