Linglong nodded, and said with some hesitation: "Don't you think this matter is too much of a coincidence?" ”

Lan Xin unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, and said in a deep voice: "You mean that the news of this palace has been spread?" ”

Linglong pondered for a moment and said, "However, the imperial doctor was sent by the Prime Minister, so there is no reason to be so unmeasured." ”

Lan Xin was very irritable, and in the end, she sighed and said: "The queen must have some kind of moth, this palace doesn't believe that there is such a coincidence in this matter, Linglong, things up and down in the harem are carefully taken care of, don't give those people a loophole, you know?" Linglong hurriedly responded, and suddenly the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the hall, and said loudly: "Concubine Hui, Gonggong Sun of the Internal Affairs Office has arrived." ”

Lan Xin sat up straight and raised her voice, "Please come in." Sun Xiang was brought in, with a respectful and obedient expression on his face as if he had been portrayed, and when he entered the hall, he bowed down respectfully and saluted: "Slave Sun Xiang of the Internal Affairs Office, see Concubine Hui." Lan Xin hurriedly asked Linglong to help Sun Xiang up, and said softly: "Why is there so much Grandpa Sun."

Courtesy? In the past, you came to my palace, but you didn't have such a politeness. ”

Seeing Lan Xin so kind, Sun Xiang couldn't help but relax his body, and said: "On weekdays, when I come to Niangniang's palace, it is nothing more than a gift for His Majesty, and now, the slave is here to discuss the matter of the reception banquet with Niangniang, how can I be sloppy?" ”

Speaking of this matter, Lan Xin couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, after all, this errand that the queen originally did fell on her head, which can only show that His Majesty treats herself differently.

She was in a good mood, covered her lips and said with a smile: "In this way, the palace is not careful, fortunately, the father-in-law is an understanding person, and the father-in-law is old in the palace. ”

Sun Xiang simply exchanged a few polite words with Lan Xin, and the two of them got to the point, Lan Xingui is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the eldest lady has also handed over a lot of things to her openly and secretly, even if it is a palace banquet, it is not very difficult to deal with, but it is a little difficult to sort the seats, she said: "Your Majesty must be surrounded by the queen and the concubine, and then it should be the virtuous king, but——"

Sun Xiang saw Lan Xin hesitating, and asked a little puzzled: "Does Niangniang have any scruples?" Lan Xin smiled wryly and said, "Father-in-law, I don't know, Your Majesty once promised the young lady of King Xian's mansion that if His Royal Highness King Xian returns to Beijing safely in the future, I am afraid that he will give marriage." ”

As she spoke, she chuckled lightly, a look of relief on her face. Sun Xiang didn't expect this layer, seeing their previous seat order, it was really a little unreasonable, he arched his hand and said: "It's still Niangniang's far-reaching thoughts, but the slave is negligent, and the slave will change it." ”

Lan Xin confirmed the things in her hand again, and after confirming that it was correct, she nodded and asked Sun Xiang to retreat.

After Sun Xiang left, Lan Xin leaned on the chair behind her tiredly, and said coquettishly: "This is really not a human thing, the waist of this palace is going to be broken." ”

Linglong stood aside and chuckled, flattering: "I look at Niangniang's style, more and more like the queen's mother." ”

When Lan Xin heard this, she inevitably said with some pride in her heart: "Don't talk nonsense, if you are heard by others, don't say that this palace does not protect you." ”

Linglong stuck out her tongue and whispered: "The slave just dares to say it in front of the mother, in front of the rest of the people, the slave is a gourd without a mouth, and it won't give the mother hot trouble if she is killed." ”

Lan Xin nodded, she didn't really blame Linglong, she was just funny. The two gossiped a lot again, and Lan Xin seemed to remember something, and said: "When you send a message to your mother, just say that you will let your mother stay in the palace after the reception banquet, and ask your mother about some things in the palace." Linglong nodded, Lan Xin was relieved, and stretched out her hand and said, "Okay, this palace wants to go to the imperial garden for a walk." ”

Linglong immediately supported her, and the two of them walked towards the imperial garden one after the other, but they didn't want to be in the pavilion of the imperial garden, someone was sitting there early, dressed in plain white tulle, taking advantage of the posture of not holding it, as if it was a cloud of smoke with the wind, ethereal and mysterious, Lan Xin smiled lightly and stepped forward and said: "Who should I be, so leisurely and elegant, it turned out to be a noble Xi, what?" Have you been trapped in that cold palace for too long, and you miss the flowers of this imperial garden? ”

He Xi heard Lan Xin's voice, got up softly and saluted, and said again: "The concubine just watched that the lotus flowers in this pond were about to bloom, and before they opened, she came to take a look." Lan Xin walked straight to the pavilion, sat down beside He Xi, and said: "I didn't expect that the preferences of Xi nobles are different from those of others, everyone loves the elegance and purity of lotus flowers, but my sister likes this bare lotus leaf, should this palace say that you are different?" Or are you a maverick? ”

He Xi just held the tea in his hand and said: "It's okay for Niangniang to evaluate her concubines as she likes, whether she likes lotus flowers or green leaves, it's not a personal choice, why should Niangniang go online like this?" ”

Lan Xin sneered, looked at Ruyi standing beside her, and suddenly said: "That's natural, this palace doesn't want to judge anything, it's just that Xi Guiren is a good means, only used one person's life, and he got today's scenery, this calmness is beyond the reach of this palace." ”

Sure enough, she saw a slight crack on He Xi's face, and finally stopped looking like a mud puppet.

She felt a little proud in her heart, waiting to see He Xi lose her temper in front of her, but to her surprise, He Xi just lowered her head slightly, and a tear slipped out of her eyes, Lan Xin was stunned, she had never seen He Xi show weakness when, and now this reaction was really beyond her expectations.

He Xi didn't continue to let that emotion spread, but said in a deep voice: "The queen mother can be so ruthless because of a trivial matter, I am soft-spoken, what can I do, but fortunately, you are the queen's sister, even if you are favored, the queen will not do anything to you." As for us—"

Her voice gradually deepened, as if she had accepted her fate, and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond and said: "Whether you are a lotus flower or a lotus leaf, the concubine naturally knows it in her heart, and there is another sentence, the concubine wants to remind Concubine Hui Niangniang, just be careful." Saying that, he got up with infinite grief, and even with tears in the corners of his eyes, he walked out of the pavilion by himself, Ruyi hurriedly took a few steps forward, and bent his knees slightly to Lan Xin: "Concubine Hui, our little master is still immersed in pain, if there is anything to say, offend Niangniang, please take care of it." With that, he followed He Xi's footsteps out of the Imperial Garden.

left behind the stunned Lan Xin and Linglong.

After a while, Lan Xincai said suspiciously: "Linglong, Fang Cai Bengong heard it right, what did she say?" ”

Linglong shook her head and said, "Niangniang didn't hear it wrong, Xi Guiren advised Niangniang to be careful." ”

Lan Xin looked at the half of the tea left by He Xi on the desk, the heat of the tea was already a little thin, and the color was a little darker, quite sad, she sneered: "It seems that in this palace, everyone knows that the good sister of this palace is not really able to tolerate this palace——"

Linglong stepped forward and said softly: "The slave maid thinks that there is some truth in the words of the Xi noble, originally when we were in the Prime Minister's Mansion, we were not on good terms with her, and Your Majesty loves the mother so much, Xu is the Xi nobleman heard any rumors and said not necessarily, after all, it is always right to be careful." ”

Lan Xin did not respond to Linglong's words, she can only try to protect the child in her womb as much as possible.

Two days later, Tuoba Yue entered Beijing, and the shocking thing was that Xiao Nai, who was supposed to be in King Xian's Mansion, appeared in the accompanying team. Did she go to Shuzhong? ”

The guard who told him said with some hesitation: "When my subordinates heard the news, they went to check, some time ago, there was indeed a group of people who broke through the checkpoint and entered Shuzhong, at that time, everyone thought that going in was to send them to death, and they didn't take it seriously, presumably this person was Miss Xiao Nai's person." ”

Tuoba Chen got up, stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, the realm I let people garrison is so easy to let people break through, everyone in a hundred years, it seems that it should not be underestimated." ”

The guard didn't dare to answer any further, and Fuqing saw that Tuoba Chen was silent for a long time, so he glanced at the man, and the man understood and hurriedly retreated.

Fuqing looked at Tuoba Chen and said, "Your Majesty, what you said before, about giving marriage to His Royal Highness King Xian—"

Tuoba Chen turned around, his eyes were a little silent and said: "At that time, I didn't think that he could come back safely from Shuzhong, but now he has come back with such great merits, so the whole world is watching what I do, he has become a prince, do you want me to make him a king?" ”

Fuqing saw Tuoba Chen's impatience, he stopped his mouth, Tuoba Chen's heart became more and more annoyed, and after a while, he slowly exhaled and said, "Call Wei Zhongliang to see me." ”

Fuqing replied respectfully, then got up and retreated.

When Wei Zhongliang came, Tuoba Chen was sitting on the top to watch the recital, Wei Zhongliang saluted, but did not see Tuoba Chen look up, and only after a while did he hear Tuoba Chen say: "Get up." ”

Wei Zhong's conscience was lively, and when he saw Tuoba Chen's expression a little serious, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and he said, "Your Majesty is calling ministers for the queen's mother's phoenix body?" ”

Tuoba Chen sneered and said, "Why, I summoned you to have nothing else to do except ask about the queen's body?" Or do you only have the dragon heir in the queen's womb in your eyes? ”
