Tuoba Lin looked at He Xi with big eyes, and said softly: "Xi Niangniang, don't you believe Lin'er?" ”

Hearing him speak, he was already a little rusty, He Xi's heart didn't know whether to be happy or worried, Aunt Ruizhi sighed and said, "Little master, go in, Concubine De is waiting for you inside." ”

As he spoke, he took He Xi in front of him and walked towards Shoukang Palace, Tuoba Lin put away the books, hugged him and followed behind, seeing that Aunt Rui Zhi was not paying attention, Tuoba Lin suddenly pulled He Xi carefully.

Xiaoxiao's face was tense, as if she was a little nervous, and it seemed to be a little tentative.

He Xi lowered her head, looking at Tuoba Lin like this, she only felt a soft piece in her heart, she stretched out her hand and held Tuoba Lin's little hand, Tuoba Lin showed the first sincere smile since He Xi came in, Aunt Rui Zhi walked in front, turned her head sideways, and saw the two of them like this, sighed, but was a little relieved.

When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Aunt Ruizhi said inside, "Concubine De, noble Xi has come to see you." ”

It is still the familiar Shoukang Palace, Concubine De is quietly half-lying on the beauty couch, the palace maid is using a small wooden hammer to help Concubine De knock her legs, and when she heard Aunt Ruizhi's voice, she stood up one by one and retreated quietly.

Aunt Ruizhi stepped forward to help Concubine De up, and put a passion flower pillow behind her waist.

Only then did He Xi come in, He Xi walked a few steps, and suddenly his hand was empty, and she felt that Tuoba Lin had withdrawn her hand, she seemed puzzled, but she didn't stay, until she walked in front of Concubine De, leaned down and saluted.

Concubine De half-squinted her eyes, took Tuoba Lin's small movements into her eyes, and sighed lightly: "Get up, you have just been ungrounded, and the mourning family is still talking to Ruizhi, you should be relieved." ”

He Xi's expression moved slightly, she knew that Concubine De would talk about ugly things again, in this palace, everyone thought that as long as it was long enough, they could forget things, but they were all wrong, and they could face it again, not because they forgot that kind of pain, but because they buried that kind of pain in their hearts, waiting for the right day, re-dissecting, and using the blood of the enemy to heal it.

He Xi said with an impassive expression: "Let the concubine worry." ”

Concubine De waved her hand indifferently and said, "Actually, the person who is most worried about you is not the mourning family, but Lin'er." ”

At this time, Tuoba Lin had been taken aside by the stamen branch to play, and it seemed that he had heard Concubine De calling his name, and was busy looking towards this position.

He Xi asked as if puzzled, "Lin'er?" ”

Concubine De sighed, stretched out her hand to He Xi, He Xi immediately stepped forward to support Concubine De's arm, and the two walked in the direction of the side hall, this side hall, the original He Xi has also seen, there are some antique calligraphy and paintings placed in it, but now, there is a small table, neatly placed on it, there are some papers, on which are some simple handwriting, see it, the person who wrote, the strength of the wrist is insufficient, and he can only barely hold the pen.

He Xi knew at a glance that it was written by Lin'er, but she couldn't imagine that Lin'er would start learning to write at a young age.

She picked up one and looked at it carefully, these words were really ugly, and some of them couldn't even be recognized as words.

But He Xi still took it out, looked at it carefully, and didn't want to miss any of the comparisons, she knelt on the ground with some emotion, and said in a deep voice: "The concubine has a good heart, and the concubine will thank you for Lin'er first." ”

Concubine De also picked up the paper on the table and said, "Do you also think that the mourning family forced Lin'er to learn?" On the contrary, these are all things that Lin'er wants to learn, and even the mourning family did not force him. ”

He Xi raised his head in a daze, as if he was puzzled, Concubine De knew that she was puzzled, so she said: "You made a big fuss about the Weiyang Palace that night, in fact, the mourning family knows, but the mourning family didn't care, and the mourning family couldn't manage it, when the people came back, Lin'er was next to him, he just asked the mourning family a word, whether the ugly child would die, the mourning family felt sorry for him at the time, so he said to him, in this harem, there are some things, even the mourning family can't do anything, can't interfere." ”

He Xi then asked, "And then?" ”

Concubine De's eyes didn't know whether it was sadness or relief, she recalled: "Then Lin'er asked me again, is it until he grows up, like his father, he can protect the people he wants to protect." The mourning family replied that from that day on, he began to read and write hard, and he didn't touch the things he liked to play on weekdays. ”

He Xi looked at the neatly stacked papers on the table, only to feel that the corners of her eyes were sore and uncomfortable, she hung her head and did not speak, Concubine De looked at He Xi condescendingly, and said after a while: "The mourning family is old, and some things may not be so attentive, since you have encountered this matter, you must have figured out a lot of things, Lin'er has been enlightened, presumably in a year or so, Your Majesty will ask the Taifu to teach, the mourning family has not so much energy to discipline him, after a few days, the mourning family will talk to the emperor, Send Lin'er back to you. ”

As soon as He Xi wanted to speak, Concubine De interrupted her again and said: "The mourning family knows what you are thinking, but they are worried that those open guns and hidden arrows around you will hurt Lin'er, and the mourning family is also distressed, however, this royal child, precociousness may not be a good thing, this matter has been decided, besides, now that there is news in the queen's palace, there must be some eyes, so they will not stay on your mother and son too much." ”

Concubine De said slowly, it is not a loss to be the concubine in the palace, and everything is planned clearly, but only without thinking about it, He Xi does not have the heart to compete for favor.

Suddenly, there was a noise by the door, He Xi subconsciously looked over, and saw Tuoba Lin's small body, hidden behind the curtain, with anticipation and excitement in his expression, obviously he had heard the words of Concubine De in his ears, He Xi seemed to be unbearable, so he said: "Everything depends on what the concubine says." ”

Sure enough, the look of joy spread little by little on Tuoba Lin's face, like a hazy sky suddenly had sunlight cutting through the clouds, bright and bright, and He Xi couldn't help but smile and bend the corners of his lips.

It was night, Fuqing came to Lingxiu Palace to spread the will, saying that His Majesty would come over to see it later, let He Xi prepare, Lianxin had been sent out of the palace, for a while, no one in Weiyang Palace could take her place, Ruyi said in a little panic: "Little master, what can I do about this, do you really want to sleep?" ”

He Xi was facing the bronze mirror, haircuts, hearing this, she suddenly burst out laughing, she turned to look at Ruyi and said, "Are you here to sleep for me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, she saw Ruyi's whole face turn red, and she looked at He Xi and said, "Slave maid - slave maid - "

She was a virgin, where would she have thought that He Xi would make fun of her, and stomped her feet anxiously: "Little master, you are really not in a hurry, and you still have the heart to joke with the slave maid." ”

Seeing that Ruyi was shy, He Xi also accepted it when he saw it, turned around again, took off the silver armor on his hand, and the sideburns on his sideburns, and said, "Tonight, Your Majesty, I will not stay in Lingxiu Palace." Tomorrow, you can go to the moon guard and find the right person. ”

Ruyi didn't know why, and before he could speak, he heard one after another greeting sounds outside the hall, thinking that Tuoba Chen was coming.

He Xi got up slowly, walked to the palace gate, leaned over and saluted: "The concubine sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Tuoba Chen helped her up and said, "I haven't been to your side for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be the same." ”

He Xi smiled lightly and said: "The left and right are just some lifeless things, which should be placed there, placed there, can be regulated, but many people are different." ”

Tuoba Chen looked stunned, knowing that she was still angry, so he took her and sat down, and said, "The queen, I have already told you for you, and I have also lifted your grounding, what do you want me to do?" ”

He Xi turned to the side and said, "The concubine still has to thank Your Majesty." ”

Although his face was respectful, his tone was full of anger, and Tuoba Chen said helplessly: "In this palace, I am afraid that you are the only one who dares to talk to me like this, and only you are the most real." ”

He Xi lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly, Tuoba Chen saw that she didn't speak, so he pulled her over and said, "Okay, you are also an adult, why do you still have the same temper as a child?" If you're like this, aren't you going to bring Lin'er badly? ”

He Xi asked as if he was puzzled: "Lin'er is now in Shoukang Palace, and there is no way for the concubine to take the eldest prince." ”

Tuoba Chen smiled deeply, poured a cup of tea to himself, handed it to He Xi and said: "Today, Concubine De had a trouble, I went to Shoukang Palace to see it, and her old man mentioned this matter to me, saying that Shoukang Palace is too dull, Lin'er is young, and it is when she likes to play, and even Lin'er's temperament is much quieter. The old man was worried, and said that it was better to let Lin'er come back to you. ”

Tuoba Chen looked at He Xi, obviously wanting to ask her what she meant, but behind that searching gaze, what else was hidden, I don't know.

Xi seemed to be puzzled and said: "Today, the concubine also went to Shoukang Palace to ask Concubine De for peace, but I didn't see the concubine talk to the concubine about this, and the concubine also saw Lin'er today, and the three-character scripture has already been recited, this-"

Seeing her like this, Tuoba Chen hurriedly reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said: "Don't worry, I didn't say that Concubine De did not raise Lin'er well, but the concubine's age is really old, Aunt Ruizhi has to take care of Lin'er and take care of the concubine, it is inevitable that there will be negligence. ”

He Xi looked at Tuoba Chen and said, "At that time, it was the concubine's duty that was negligent, and His Majesty was still willing to send the eldest prince over?" Tuoba Chen sighed: "I also know that I have wronged you in the events of that day, if it weren't for that, how could you sit here safe and sound." ”
