Concubine De's expression suddenly turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Ruizhi, in this case, you can only say it in front of the mourning family-"

Rui Zhi hurriedly said: "The slave and maid know, these words can only be said a little bit by the slave and the maid in front of the concubine, even in front of the county lord, the old slave will not reveal half a word——"

Concubine De softened her expression before she slowly spoke: "It is precisely because of this that the imperial sister-in-law of the mourning family is jealous of Yi'er everywhere, and even does not hesitate to use Pi'er to restrain him, it is really-"

Rui Zhi said with some regret: "Forgive the slave for talking too much, His Royal Highness the county lord is pure-minded, and the prince is in an important position, even if the queen mother nods, it will be difficult to deal with those things in the back house in the future, plus the county lord is grateful for the queen mother's nurturing grace and refuses to disobey the queen mother's will, which has led to the current situation." ”

Concubine De's fingers with armor tapped the armrest of the soft pineapple wood again and again, and said: "It's also a pain for this pair of children, Yi'er has filial piety, and the mourning family doesn't want to help them for no reason, Ruizhi, what do you guess Yi'er is doing?" ”

Ruizhi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Concubine De said: "Mobei has been eyeing the border of Dali, and now, the envoys of other countries are being framed in our court, this is a good opportunity to provoke a war——"

Rui Zhi was still puzzled, it was obviously the relationship between Mobei and the Great Calendar, why Ning Yi wanted to intervene.

Concubine De suddenly felt some tears in her eyes, she covered it with a handkerchief, and said: "Ruizhi, if King Xian ascends the throne, counting from the first emperor's side, it is already three dynasties, how much status do you say the concubine of the mourning family has?" ”

Rui Zhi frowned and said: "Why did Niang Niang say this, you are the eldest princess of Xiliang, when the first emperor was there, he was all respectful to you, even if the first emperor ascended the throne, he-"

Concubine De waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "Ruizhi, since ancient times, the two countries have been friendly, nothing more than a few points, exchange business markets or marriages, although the marriage looks glorious, but it will not be maintained for a long time, Xiliang has reached this generation, there is no princess who can kiss, only the old woman of the mourning family, Ning Yi, the child, is still for the mourning family, but also for Xiliang, it is considered to sell a favor to the emperor." ”

Rui Zhi seemed to understand a lot, and asked tentatively: "Could this be the original intention of the concubine to help the prince?" But the Queen Mother—"

Concubine De smiled with a transparent relief, she said: "The imperial sister-in-law of the mourning family is now in charge of the government, for the sake of the young emperor to gather power, if there is really that day, I am afraid that she will not care about the life and death of the mourning family, at that time, the mourning family is in this harem, it should be really helpless and have no honor." ”

Rui Zhi took a deep breath and fell silently beside Concubine De, she deeply understood that what Concubine De said was right, women have always had no right to choose, if they don't earn it for themselves, I'm afraid it will really be as Concubine De herself said in the future.

On the other side, Ning Yi followed the little eunuch towards the imperial study, and although the palace people on the road seemed to be calm, they couldn't hide the panic and panic in their eyes.

Once the world changes hands, no one can handle it calmly.

He smiled slightly, but he didn't want to turn Chu Yuge, and saw a person walking out of it, it was He Xi, He Xi was him, obviously stunned, and then leaned over lightly, and said, "The concubine has seen the regent——"

Ning Yi saw that she and the maidservants beside her didn't want to be the same as the people she had seen before, so she said with some curiosity: "Concubine Xi is really unusual, now the concubines in the harem of the Great Calendar are afraid that they are all hiding in their own palaces and thinking about a way out in the future, how can Concubine Xi be so interested and come here to enjoy the scenery?" ”

He Xi heard the temptation in his words, for this regent of Xiliang, she was wary in her heart, she smiled slowly: "The concubine is just a woman, whether the government and the opposition are turbulent, or the situation is changing, the concubine can't do anything to change, and the snow scene in this imperial garden is hard to find, if there is nothing to do, it is useless for the concubine to worry about it in her own palace, if there is something, it is even more useless, isn't it?" ”

Ning Yi got a lot closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Concubine Xi really has the same casualness as you said?" This king thinks it's not at all, otherwise you would have had to fight so hard in the first place—"

He Xi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "The prince is cautious, just look at--for the county lord's face." ”

Ning Yi smiled as if he had succeeded, he didn't like He Xi always looking like he was wearing a mask, but he remembered that in Zhaohua Temple, He Xi was desperate for that Gu Su Guozhi, and now seeing her angry, he only thought it was funny, he straightened up and smiled: "Okay, don't say it-don't say it-hahaha-"

The little eunuch waited aside, although he felt that the two seemed to be familiar with each other, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to pick a gap and said, "Lord, don't let Your Majesty wait—"

Ning Yi didn't embarrass him, but just looked at He Xi meaningfully, and then followed the little eunuch.

He Xi looked at Ning Yi's figure, only to feel that there was a faint bad premonition in her heart, if she looked different, she stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang, this prince of Xiliang shouldn't tell us about it." ”

He Xi shook his head and said: "This person can't see through this palace, Ruyi, our plan can't be delayed any longer, you write to contact Uncle Liang, and act tonight-"

Ruyi hummed softly, and then said: "Niangniang, in fact, if you talk about it, the fourth prince may have already deserved it, why should you-"

He Xi lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "There are still things in this palace that have not been clarified. ”

Ruyi also knew that it was useless to persuade again, so he went down to make arrangements, but fortunately, Tuoba Yue did not restrict the movement of people in the palace, and He Xi's status was noble, so no one thought it was strange.

When Ning Yi arrived at the imperial study, Tuoba Yue was already waiting there, he saluted indifferently, and then said: "I didn't expect that a few days ago, the minister was still a brother and brother to the prince, and today is different from the past." ”

Tuoba Yue didn't care, just let the palace people pour the tea, and then retreated, leaving everyone alone to serve Fuqing.

Ning Yi stayed in the imperial study for two hours before leaving the palace and going straight to the post station.

However, at this time, the night had crept in, Tuoba Yue rubbed the corners of his forehead, and then said, "How is Concubine Xi?" ”

Fuqing knew that he must be concerned, so he had already sent someone out to investigate, so he replied: "If you go back to Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is not abnormal, and she also went to Chu Yuge to enjoy the snow scene today, and just called someone to invite Your Majesty to Lingxiu Palace for dinner in the evening." ”

Tuoba Yue's heart moved, and he said again: "You send someone to reply, just say that I will go over later-"

As soon as the words fell, a clear voice came in from outside the hall and said, "Why do you need to be later, the concubine has prepared her own wine and food, and she has come to celebrate Your Majesty's accession to the throne." ”

With the voice, I saw a palace beauty from the corner, Fuqing immediately leaned over and saluted, at this time Tuoba Yue realized that He Xi was actually wearing the concubine's formal dress, a lilac long skirt, the skirt was on the ground, embroidered with a peacock with gold thread, almost every feather on the feather was clear, the long hair was raised high, and a phoenix crown of golden silk was decorated with a shining Nanzhu.

The cinnabar mole lining the center of the eyebrows is more and more bright and moving, and it is not possible to look at it directly.

But Tuoba Yue felt a little eyesore, after all, this was the identity and glory given to her by other men, he turned his face away, and said, "Your body-"

He took a deep breath and said, "Your body is heavy, why did you come here in person?" ”

He Xi walked softly in front of Tuoba Yue, and according to the number of etiquette, he gave a full salute and said: "Before, the concubine was not thoughtful, Your Majesty first ascended the throne, and then entered and exited the concubine's womb, which will inevitably cause controversy. ”

Tuoba Yue looked at He Xi's expression, and suddenly asked, "These things will be worried about me in the future, you-"

Tuoba Yue felt that he was able to speak well and be thoughtful on weekdays, but at this moment, he was a little speechless, in fact, he wanted to ask He Xi's future plans, but he was afraid, and he was afraid that He Xi would say that he wanted to leave.

There was a subtle atmosphere flowing between the two, and Fuqing felt a difference, although he had some stubble in his heart, he still said with interest: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Xi is dining in the imperial study today, the slave will go to the imperial dining room to see what to add." ”

Tuoba Yue waved his hand, and for a while, only He Xi's master and servant and Tuoba Yue were left in the hall.

He Xi personally brought out the dishes in the food box and said, "These are cooked by the concubine herself, and I don't know if they are the taste of His Majesty." Your Majesty to taste it? ”

Tuoba Yue sat in front of the desk, glanced at it roughly, and then said, "I don't know, when, you will also know this?" I think it turns out that Gao Yuan has complained to me, but you love to go to his room to eat, and the hot Ryan is bitter——"

He Xi smiled, and there was a little feeling in that smile: "In this life, people always have to learn something, don't they?" ”

Tuoba Yue heard what she said, so she put down the silver book in her hand and said, "Do you have something to say?" ”

He Xi got up and left the table, half-leaned down and said, "The concubine has one last thing to ask Your Majesty for help, the concubine thinks, I want to go and see Tuoba Chen." ”

Tuoba Yue frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "Why-"

There was already a faint anger between his eyebrows, as if there was a dark fire, burning in his chest, almost burning his reason.

He Xi said: "What happened back then, the concubines always felt that there was still a secret in it. ”

Tuoba Yue was stunned and asked, "Are you talking about the edict?" ”

He Xi nodded and said: "My father and brother are honest and loyal, and they will definitely not help him ascend to the throne knowing that the first emperor intends to pass on the throne to you, there must be a hidden secret in this, if you don't figure out this matter, the concubine is unwilling——"
