Fuqing glanced back at Shu Miao, took off the hood that covered most of his cheeks, and bowed to He Xi softly: "The folk girl is very wonderful, see Xi Guiren." ”

Ruyi flashed a trace of surprise, obviously recognized that Shu Miao was the person who entered the palace to dance today, she looked at He Xi with some exploration in her eyes, but He Xi didn't seem to be surprised, just smiled indifferently and said: "Shu Miao girl doesn't need to be polite, there are no outsiders at this time, get up quickly." ”

Seeing He Xi's attitude, Fuqing put down his heart that was slightly hanging, and said with a smile: "Little master, the wonderful girl entered the palace today, and His Majesty has rewarded the Yiyue Palace for the special girl to live in, but it is really not convenient today, and the old slave can only think of the nobles here." ”

He Xi has always respected Fuqing very much, and when she saw Fuqing say this, she already knew it in her heart, and she bowed her head and said: "It's just right, I am bored and panicked in this Lingxiu Palace, and it is also a beautiful thing to have a wonderful girl as a companion." ”

Shu Miao gave birth to a little gratitude in his heart, after all, He Xi could be regarded as relieving her, Fuqing was also relieved, he said gratefully: "The queen mother and His Majesty are still waiting for the slave to return to serve, so they will not disturb the noble and the special girl, and the slave will retire first." ”

He Xi nodded and said to Ruyi: "Ruyi, go and send off Father-in-law Fu." ”

Ruyi answered, and went out of the palace with Fuqing, because He Xi didn't like to have so many people around him to serve at night, so he left only Ruyi alone, and now Ruyi is gone, and there are only Shu Miao and Chun Tao left in the whole hall.

Shu Miao didn't know why, Fang Cai still felt that He Xi was approachable, but at this time, he actually had a slight sense of oppression, listening to the footsteps gradually, Shu Miao intuitively felt a burst of coercion pressing towards him.

She clenched her palms tightly, forcibly calmed herself, and looked up at He Xi.

He Xi walked in front of Shumiao, and at a glance saw the ambiguous red marks on Shumiao's neck, and knew what was happening, she walked in front of Shumiao, and said with a generous smile: "After a while, I will ask Ruyi to help you prepare a room, you can rest assured, and tomorrow in front of outsiders, I will say that I like the dancing of Shumiao very much, and ask the girl to stay in my palace for one night." ”

In this way, he completely stopped all the responsibility on himself, and gave him great honor, and he bowed down again: "Thank you for your kindness, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely repay it." ”

He Xi didn't help her up this time, just looked at the top of Shumiao's head fixedly, and said softly: "Shumiao girl doesn't have to be like this, I help you today, it's not all pity, but you and I will be in the palace in the future, there are many difficulties, and I also know the hard work behind this, this matter is also a gesture for me, and it seems to have helped you, and it can be regarded as fulfilling my reputation in front of His Majesty, Shumiao girl doesn't need to be so mindful." ”

He Xi said it very thoroughly, even Chun Tao on the side couldn't help but peek at He Xi with some curiosity, she was in the palace, she naturally knew the affairs of this little master, she could come out of the cold palace unharmed, and she was promoted, I am afraid that no one in this harem can do it, there was a saying among the subordinates earlier, this woman is definitely not as wide and simple as it seems on the surface.

Now it seems that he is really a person with a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he naturally didn't expect that He Xi would say this, and he couldn't take He Xi's words for a while, and he was a little stunned.

It was Chun Tao who reacted first, and stepped forward to help Shu Miao get up.

Several people looked at each other without saying a word.

On the other side, Fuqing returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the queen had already rested in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but His Majesty was sitting in front of the case to review the chapter, but the case in front of him had not turned a page for a long time, and when he saw Fuqing coming back, he quickly put down the pen in his hand.

Fuqing naturally knew what Tuoba Chen meant, and he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The matter has been done, and now that the special girl is at the Xi nobles, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Hearing He Xi's name, Tuoba Chen really breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have done a very good job in this matter, and I will reward you well." ”

Fuqing first thanked Tuoba Chen, then retreated to the porch and stood in a funny way, but the worry in his heart was gone, and Tuoba Chen went back to the dormitory to rest.

However, this night, no matter who it is, it seems to be very difficult and long, in the Xianwang Mansion, after returning from the palace banquet, Xiao Nai has been depressed, and she likes to stick to Tuoba Yue very much on weekdays, and she also went straight back to her house abnormally.

She seemed to be happy and sad in her heart, happy that she was married to Tuoba Yue after all no matter what, but sadly, she was just a side concubine.

When the maidservant saw her kneading the flower branches in the bottle into fine mud little by little, she knew what she was thinking, so she stepped forward and persuaded: "Miss, the prince has gone to the suburbs of Beijing, and I am afraid that he will not come back in a few days. ”

Xiao Nai just nodded dumbfounded, but the unwillingness in her eyes, like a spark, devoured her reason little by little, and the maid saw Xiao Nai like this, and persuaded: "Miss, the slave has one more mouth, you should be happy about this matter." ”

Xiao Nai stopped what he was doing, turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" What's there to be happy about? ”

The maid saw that Xiao Nai was finally willing to take care of herself, and said happily: "That is, you should be happy, although you are only a side concubine, but now there is no concubine?" Besides, didn't our prince say that if there is a favorite candidate in the future, he will definitely tell His Majesty, but you are a childhood sweetheart with the prince, and the slave and maid see, the prince has never looked at others except for you, that is to say, maybe the prince will never have a concubine. ”

She saw Xiao Nai's expression slightly loosened, and said: "Take another 10,000 steps back, if you are a little prince, then at that time, the mother is expensive and the princess is not necessarily, this concubine is the meaning of His Majesty, even if our prince is right, it can't refute His Majesty's face, on the contrary, Miss is now so sad and sad, let the prince see it, and think that Miss is unwilling to marry, Miss should understand the prince." ”

The latter sentence was originally a joke about Xiao Nai, but she didn't want Xiao Nai to take it seriously, she was busy: "How come, my feelings for Brother Yue, even if others don't know, will you still not know?" Brother Yue will definitely not be misunderstood. ”

The maid saw that Xiao Nai was a little anxious, and hurriedly comforted obediently: "Okay-my good young lady, even if His Royal Highness King Xian knows that the young lady is not because she is unwilling to marry, but few men are willing to look at women with bitter faces, don't you say?" ”

Xiao Nai listened to her words, then unconsciously reached out and stroked her cheek, turned her head to look at the bronze mirror, by the dim candlelight, sure enough, she saw that her eyebrows and eyes were drooping, and the corners of her lips were pursed with a mean arc, it looked very rude, she seemed to be strange to herself like this, she hurriedly turned her face away, sorted out her look, and said in a panic: "No, I'm going to find Brother Yue." ”

She wanted to tell him that it wasn't that she didn't want to get married, she figured it out, even if it was a side concubine, as long as she could be by his side, she didn't care what kind of status she had.

She even had a lot to say to Tuoba Yue, she stood up and walked towards the door, the maid didn't expect Xiao Nai to make such a sudden decision, and hurriedly said: "Miss, it's getting late, even if you want to go, you have to go again tomorrow." ”

Who knows, the current Xiao Nai can't listen to the words of this maid at all, she shook her head and said, "No, I'm going to go over now and help me prepare clothes." ”

The maid saw that Xiao Nai was so stubborn, so she could only obediently follow Xiao Nai's instructions to prepare things.

Yueqi, as Tuoba Yue's personal guard, naturally followed Tuoba Yue to the ancient mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing, and now the person who stays in the mansion is Lu Ran, seeing Xiao Nai coming out with the maidservant, Lu Ran hurriedly went up and said: "Miss Xiao, are you going out of the house?" ”

Xiao Nai nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to the ancient tomb on the outskirts of Beijing, and now you can prepare a carriage for me." ”

Lu Ran hesitated a little, he hesitated and said: "However, it's getting late now, and besides, the prince doesn't know Miss's plans, do you want to wait for dawn tomorrow, and then send Miss over after his subordinates have told the prince?" ”

Hearing Lu Ran say this, Xiao Nai's face was full of displeasure, she glanced at Lu Ran and said, "Could it be that Miss Ben has something to do and you can't arrange a guard?" ”

Lu Ran listened, and hurriedly took half a step back and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't mean this, it's just——"

"Where did you get so much nonsense? Hurry up and prepare the carriage and horses. Seeing that Lu Ran still wanted to persuade again, Xiao Nai's maid couldn't help but step forward and scolded angrily.

Lu Ran was a little helpless, so he could only go down and prepare a carriage, in order to ensure Xiao Nai's safety, Lu Ran decided to personally drive Xiao Nai to the suburbs of Beijing.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Nai calmed down, thinking of Tuoba Yue, Xiao Nai couldn't help but feel a little worried, she looked at the maidservant and said, "You help me see, is my hair messy?" ”

The maidservant said: "Don't worry, my young lady, no matter what you are, you are the most beautiful in the heart of the prince." Saying, as if remembering something, he took out a thing from his arms, the delicate bone china was printed with a little plum blossom, the touch was warm, Xiao Nai saw it, and said happily: "What is this?" ”

The maid carefully opened the lid of the box, leaned over and said, "Miss sniff it?" ”

Xiao Nai got a little closer, sniffed lightly, and only felt that a faint fragrance came from the surface, but there was still a hint of coquettishness in the elegance, as if the snow lotus was blooming on the top of the snow-capped mountain, beautiful and beautiful, and more noble.

Seeing the joy and love in her eyes, the maid said: "This is a cold incense that has been very popular in Beijing recently, and the ladies of all families are very fond of it. ”

Xiao Nai's eyes flashed with approval, and she couldn't help but sniff a few times and said, "You have a heart-"

The maid won the award, naturally very proud, seeing that Xiao Nai was now thinking about smearing on her wrist, she hurriedly said: "Miss, this is still a distance from the suburbs of Beijing, when it is almost there, the slave maid is smearing the young lady, and I promise that the prince will not take his eyes off you when he sees you." ”
