After lunch, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the crackling sound hit the bluestone floor, as if it were smashing into the bottom of people's hearts.

Lingxi wore an aqua blue oblique palace dress under the skillful hand dress of lotus leaves and Qiaozhu, and the palace costume as a whole did not have a trace of variegation, only embroidered a few tender pink lilies on the loose sleeves. Outside the palace costume, there was a foggy white gauze dress, which looked like a thin layer of smoke from a distance.

pulled the hibiscus bun, and the two beaded flowers he wore were also aqua blue, and even the hairpin on the left side was also a dripping water shake made of blue crystal.

Rouge dyed lips, snail thrush.

When Lingxi finished dressing up, it was almost time.

Qiaozhu handed over a thin moon-white cloak and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, it's raining heavily, let's put on a cloak." ”

Lingxi looked at the beautiful woman in the water mirror who seemed to have stepped out of the water, and reached out to push the cloak out.

With that cloak, isn't his makeup for nothing?

"Go and see if the bird's nest is good, the emperor usually eats some food at the end of the day......"

"Mother, it's good morning." Qiaozhu said, "It's warming on the small stove, and the slave will go and put it in the food box." ”

After Lingxi nodded slightly, Qiaozhu turned around and went out.

Lingxi held the hand of the lotus leaf and walked to the door of the outer hall. A cool breeze hit, and Lingxi couldn't help but shiver.

"Niangniang, why don't you wait for the weather to get better before going......" Lotus Ye felt sorry for Lingxi's weak body, and said, "It's not bad for a while." ”

Lingxi shook his head lightly, "Since it's decided, don't put it off any longer." If my guess is correct, Concubine Ying and Concubine Xian should have joined forces at this time. Am I going to be killed again? ”

Lotus Leaf lowered her head and said no more.

After Qiaozhu handed the food box to Hanyan's hand, Lingxi took Xiao Dezi, lotus leaves, and Hanyan into the rain curtain.

Zichen Hall is not far from Yongshou Palace, enter the imperial garden, follow the road paved with white jade, and arrive.

When Lingxi came to the main hall of the Zichen Palace, the hours were not more or less, and it was the end of the day.

Xiao Jingzi was guarding the corridor, and saw Lingxi hurriedly running over from a distance, kneeling in the rain to greet Lingxi, "Concubine Yingniang Wan'an." ”

Lingxi smiled and asked Xiao Jingzi to get up, and walked in the direction of the corridor, while saying, "The emperor is still looking at the excerpts?" The palace ordered the small kitchen to stew some bird's nest, thinking that the emperor's stomach must be empty at this time, so he sent it over......"

Xiao Jingzi followed Lingxi's side, bowed, and the rain crackled on his body, "Back to Niangniang, the emperor is talking to King Ning." ”

Lingxi paused, and the rain flowed down between his teeth into his mouth and into his lungs, which was cold. She smiled with a blank smile, "King Ning is still in the palace?" ”

"After the morning dynasty, I came back to discuss matters with the emperor, and went out of the palace at lunchtime, and then the emperor called King Ning back when he had something......"

Lingxi nodded slightly, and the tassel hit his ear, cool.

"Then the palace won't disturb the emperor and King Ning talking......" Lingxi reached out and took the food box from Hanyan's hand, handed it to Xiaojingzi, and said, "You take this in, see that the time is almost up, let the emperor use it, but you can't be hungry." ”

The rain hit the sleeve of Lingxi's umbrella, and the pale pink lily on the sleeve was moistened into a dark pink. The coolness extended from the wrist to the arm and then to the neck, making Lingxi shiver involuntarily.

Xiao Jingzi took the food box and held it in his arms to block the rain, and when he saw Lingxi, he shivered, and hurriedly said, "Concubine Ying, just now Xian and your concubine came to ask for peace, the emperor ordered her to wait in the outer hall, the words of the emperor and King Ning should be finished, or you can wait in the outer hall for a while......"

Lingxi raised her eyebrows, "You mean, the concubine is here?" ”

"Exactly. It's been a quarter of an hour......"

"Niangniang, you're here, just warm up and wait for the rain to stop before leaving." Lotus Ye gently squeezed Lingxi's hand.

Before Lotus Ye's words fell, he saw King Ning walking out of the hall with an oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

Seeing the spirit like an elf standing in the rain, his footsteps were obvious.

Lingxi is the concubine, and King Ning is the eldest son of the emperor, so naturally you can't turn around and leave when you encounter each other.

King Ning stepped forward steadily, bowed slightly, and said, "Please Aunt Ying." ”

Lingxi's left hand on the lotus leaf arm trembled slightly, provoked a gentle smile on his lips, and said, "King Ning is polite." ”

King Ning raised his head, his star-like eyes deepened and deepened, and his slightly sharp gaze swept over Lingxi's body, and said with a smile, "It's raining so hard, and Concubine Ying is still thinking about her father so much, which really makes my heart very peaceful as a prince." With Concubine Ying's mother taking such pains to take care of her, her father's body must be healthy. ”

Ben's somewhat blood-colored complexion became a little transparent, Lingxi shook his head, subconsciously took a small step back, leaned tightly into the arms of Lotus Ye, and said with a smile, "King Ning praised it." ”

King Ning looked at Lingxi's somewhat trembling body and bit his back molars, his body flashed, and he stepped aside, and said, "Concubine Ying, please Niangniang." ”

Lingxi bowed his head again, which was regarded as a return salute. Then leaning on the body of the lotus leaf, the small well led the way in front, and walked towards the hall.

King Ning stood in the rain, watching the aqua-blue figure gradually walk away, his hands behind his back, and he clenched into a fist fiercely.

Lingxi held the hand of the lotus leaf and walked up to the corridor with his legs raised. Taking advantage of the gap between Xiao Dezi and collecting the umbrella under the corridor, Lingxi glanced at King Ning in the rain with his residual vision.

In the majestic rain, King Ning held an oil-paper umbrella painted with green bamboo, and walked away step by step with his back to himself. The back was straight, the hem of the moon-white robe, and King Yinning's steps rose back and forth in the rain and smoke.

At a cold glance, King Ning was like a god who walked away in the rain.

Looking at that figure, Lingxi had a feeling that it was over.

Lotus Ye stretched out his hand to help the step shake on the head of the spirit rhino, and said loudly, "Niangniang, the slave is helping you to step up." ”

Lingxi retracted his gaze and looked at the lotus leaf with a light smile, his eyes were clear and shining, without a trace of confusion.

Seeing such a spiritual rhino, the lotus leaf was relieved. After putting down his hand, he picked up Lingxi's arm and said to Xiaojingzi, "Please ask your father-in-law to go in and say goodbye, otherwise I am afraid that my father-in-law's errand will be messed up." ”

Xiao Jingzi is not Feng's father-in-law, and it is inappropriate to leave Lingxi behind without permission. Now that Lotus Ye said this to him, he was naturally grateful, and after handing over the food box to Hanyan, he nodded and smiled at Lingxi, "Niangniang, wait a minute, the slave trotted to go, trotted back......"

After saying that, he turned around and ran in.

Lingxi looked up at the three words 'Zichen Palace' written in Dashun on the door of the hall, and said to the lotus leaf, "But I haven't been here for a while, and I almost forgot whether the font is red gold or purple gold......

Before Lotus Ye could reply, Gonggong Feng had already trotted out of it, and after saluting the Lingxi, he smiled with a smile, "Niangniang, the emperor invites you in." ”

"Wouldn't it be good to bother Father-in-law Feng to come out in person, and let Xiaojingzi run away?" Lingxi smiled softly, turned his head and asked with a little intimacy, "How is Gonggong Feng lately?" ”

"Hello old slave, everything is fine!" Gonggong Feng lowered his head, as if relieved, "The old slave's body is hard." ”

"That's good......"

As he spoke, Gonggong Feng had already led Lingxi to the door of the study. The palace maid who played the curtain lifted the curtain of the bright yellow embroidered cloud golden dragon and went down to Lingxi Fu.

Lingxi walked in with his head slightly lowered, and a fragrance of dragon incense came to his nose.

Because Lingxi rarely uses spices on weekdays, he subconsciously wants to raise a veil to cover his mouth and nose. Before she could raise her head, her eyes were dark, and a warm big hand was already holding her raised hand.

Lingxi looked up and saw that it was Emperor Yong'an, so he hurriedly went down to ask for peace.

With a hearty smile on his face, Emperor Yong'an helped up Lingxi's body and said, "You are weak, so don't be polite." ”

Seeing that Lingxi's right sleeve was wet, Emperor Yong'an carefully pulled up the sleeve, revealing Lingxi's white skin and wrist with a jade bracelet.

Lingxi's face turned red, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Xian Guifei was standing not far away, pulled out his hand, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, my sister is still there......

Although there was no change in the back of the concubine, her heart was stunned. She walked up, bowed down to Lingxifu, and said, "Concubine to Concubine Ying's mother." ”

Lingxi stretched out his hand to support Xian Guifei, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Sister, you and I don't have to be so polite......

Emperor Yong'an also held Lingxi's hand in his left hand, and held the hand of Xian Guifei in his right hand, shook them together and said, "What Concubine Ying said is reasonable, you are very good sisters, you don't need to be so polite, even in front of me, you don't need to." ”

The noble concubine raised her eyes lightly, looked at Emperor Yong'an, who was smiling happily, and then looked at Lingxi, who was smiling softly at herself, and her heart became more and more confused. But she still had a shy smile on her face, and said, "The emperor and his sister joined forces to bully the concubine, and the concubine just gave her sister a salute according to the rules, which led to such a ......."

Lingxi hurriedly smiled and flattered, "Sister, good sister, isn't it possible for my sister to be wrong?" ”

Xian Guifei twisted her body, looked at Lingxi with a smile, and said, "I will forgive you this time, but there is no next time, if you let other concubines see it, those who know that you and I have a deep sisterhood, and those who don't know can say that I don't understand the rules......"

"I ......" Emperor Yong'an smiled in his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said, "I am very happy to see you like this. ”

Emperor Yong'an clasped the hands of the two of them, raised his eyebrows and said, "I have always liked the way you used to be, like a pair of sisters, envious of others!" ”

"Your Majesty," Lingxi looked at Emperor Yong'an with a light smile on his face, and said in an affirmative tone, "We are sisters, really, my sister and I are sisters......"
