Madame Qin couldn't say a word, she just stood in place, and kept pursing her lips and said, "You-you-boldly-dare to say such a thing--I'm going to tell the Queen Mother-"

On the other side, there are already people who have a heart to notice the situation here, someone is walking towards this side, He Xi slowly got up, holding Qin's hand with one hand, and said softly: "The Queen Mother is wise and decisive, there are some things, it is not Mrs.'s turn to remind, today in the front hall, if the Queen Mother really wants to embarrass me, she will climb up the pole you gave, but the Queen Mother didn't, guess what?" You say, if you shake out this thing that the Queen Mother wants to hide, what do you think the Queen Mother will think? ”

He Xi's voice lingered in Mrs. Qin's ears, like a demagogic banshee, Mrs. Qin's legs were weak, He Xi took the opportunity to hold on, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qin, be careful-"

Someone had already approached and said with concern, "Mrs. Qin, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mrs. Qin's face was pale, her hands and feet were weak, she was afraid that someone would see the flaws, so she said forcefully: "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little dizzy from this fragrance, and I want to thank Miss Mu for helping me." ”

The man looked suspiciously at He Xi holding Mrs. Qin's hand, and then looked at the posture of the two, although he wondered in his heart about the change in Mrs. Qin's attitude, he had to smile and say: "No, I felt fragrant at first when I came in, but now it is really too strong - it is better to breathe here-"

He Xi looked at everyone with their own thoughts, but they didn't break it, just bent their knees slightly and said: "Although the smell is too strong, but they are all strange flowers and plants, if you don't look at it, it is also a tyrannical thing, one step ahead." ”

As he spoke, he took Ruyi's hand and left.

After the man saw He Xi leaving, he said curiously: "I said Sister Qin, what is so special about this Miss Mu that you have changed your attitude?" ”

Mrs. Qin was still immersed in the shock of Fang Cai, she was a person who was used to domineering, how could anyone have told her so much, even her husband had never said it, the favor she thought she thought was now, but now, it is like a knife hanging above her head, and she doesn't know when she will end her life.

But in this case, you can't say it to outsiders, and you can't say it to outsiders, and now when she is asked, she just sneered: "Miss Mu has a straightforward temperament, I misunderstood her before, it's okay, I also went to enjoy the flowers." ”

The doubts in the man's heart became deeper and deeper, but he also understood that Mrs. Qin didn't want to answer, and she didn't want to ask deeply, so she also went to enjoy the flowers together.

The whole greenhouse is huge, and the heavy curtains seem to separate the four seasons of the year, there are rare purple Sichuan orchids and water lilies, goose-yellow osmanthus, and green plums in season, all of which are rare varieties.

Mrs. Qin was absentmindedly admiring the flowers and plants, but she didn't notice that a figure flashed behind the curtain.

At this time, in the dormitory of the Queen Mother of the West, the fine purple gold incense burner was burning with the incense of Shenshui, and the fragrance was reassuring, but the Queen Mother of the West was sitting on the Nanmu chair with a gloomy face, listening to the report of the palace maid.

After the palace maid finished her prayer, the Empress Dowager Xi said coldly: "Just said a few words, and Mrs. Qin lost her soul?" It seems that the mourning family really underestimated this woman, a person like Mrs. Qin, she shocked her in just a few words. ”

Her hand groped for the hollow carving on the handh, and whispered in a deep voice.

Jiang Li'er half-knelt aside, helped the Empress Dowager Xi hang her legs, and whispered, "Why doesn't the queen mother like that Miss Mu so much?" ”

Empress Dowager Xi looked at her with a complicated expression, she knew this daughter, she had no city, and she was the most innocent, Empress Dowager Xi took Jiang Li'er's hand and said gently: "Does Li'er like that Miss Mu?" ”

Jiang Li'er nodded quite solemnly and said: "She is extremely beautiful, elegant in conversation, and very intelligent, and Li'er envies and likes people like Miss Mu." ”

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't Li'er not annoying it at all?" Even if—"

She groaned for a moment, but finally said, "Even if the regent loves her so much, isn't there the slightest dissatisfaction in Li'er's heart?" ”

Jiang Li'er's expression was frank, but she was also a little gloomy, she said: "Li'er knows that the queen mother doesn't like Brother Ning Yi, but Li'er has grown up with Brother Ning Yi and the royal brother since she was a child. ”

Her expression was solemn and sincere, and the Empress Dowager Xi sighed faintly, caressing Jiang Li'er's green silk and said: "Although you were not born in the royal family, but you were raised in the royal family, it is really difficult for you." ”

Immediately, she seemed to be really a little sleepy, and said to Jiang Li'er: "You can also go down and rest, the mourning family wants to rest for a while, and there will be dinner in the evening." ”

Jiang Li'er nodded and left, but the Queen Mother Xi didn't feel sleepy at all, staring straight at the embroidered curtains on the top of the tent, the complicated patterns, densely stacked together, as if they were about to spread to the bottom of her heart at once, which made her heart frizzy.

Standing aside to serve the Empress Dowager Xi, it was her confidant Zike, who had been her maid for many years, and when she saw the Empress Dowager Xi like this, she hurriedly asked, "The Empress Dowager is unwell?" ”

The Empress Dowager Xi sighed and said slowly: "Zike, are you wrong when you say the mourning family?" ”

Zi Ke thought for a moment, and then said, "The Queen Mother is talking about the county lord?" ”

Empress Dowager Xi's eyes wandered faintly, and she said slowly: "It's not that the mourning family can't see Ning Yi's intentions for Li'er over the years, in the past, Li'er was riddled with illness, and the mourning family didn't feel anything, but since Ning Yi found that miraculous medicine, he can prove that his hands and eyes are all over the sky, the emperor is young, how can the mourning family not be afraid of him, I thought that I could contain him a lot with my pity, but I didn't want to stab that Mu Xi and such a woman, the mourning family is really-"

Zike hurriedly persuaded: "The queen mother's good intentions, the slaves and maids all understand, the queen mother, you are right, now the regent is powerful, at least more than half of the courtiers in the court are looking at the regent horse, you are also for Your Majesty, even if it is the county lord, I don't blame you, do you?" ”

Empress Dowager Xi shook her head and said disapprovingly: "Li'er is pure-minded, how can she think of this, besides, if she knows that the mourning family is for His Majesty, they use her as a bargaining chip, this child is afraid that she will be sad." ”

Zike said with a straight face: "The Queen Mother is also for the sake of the country, the county lord should support it, according to the slave's humble opinion, now the prince has become estranged from the county lord, it can be seen that this Miss Mu is really not simple, in this case, why not let the county lord's marriage become Your Majesty's help?" ”

The Empress Dowager Xi seemed to be extremely tired, and closed her eyes tiredly and said, "You mean Prince Kang Ning Yu?" ”

Zike nodded and said: "Exactly, the old prince died, leaving only the old princess and the son, the son is the same age as His Majesty this year, and because of the mourning period, he did not discuss marriage, but next year, as soon as the mourning period passes, he will inherit the title of the old prince at the age of fifteen, and the old princess will inevitably start to consider the marriage of the prince, why not——"

Zi Ke looked at the Empress Dowager Xi quite meaningfully, the Empress Dowager Xi frowned, and was silent for a while, Zi Ke's expression flashed with an anxious look and said: "The Empress Dowager, before Prince Kang's fiefdom, Niangniang's words and deeds are afraid that they have been spread to the old princess, Prince Kang is quite prestigious, His Majesty wants to sit on the throne, he must have the support of the Quartet, and the Queen Mother should not be indecisive." ”

The Empress Dowager Xi seemed to be displeased, and said in a deep voice: "Zike, the mourning family is tired, you go down." ”

Zike still wanted to persuade again, but she knew that at this time, she was afraid that she would say too many mistakes.

Zi Ke retreated to the door, and then heard a rustling sound outside the door, Zi Ke strode towards the door, and only saw a somewhat panicked back, it was Jiang Lian'er.

Zike frowned, looked at the Queen Mother Xi who was pretending to sleep, and had a faint plan in her heart.

Jiang Li'er, who was talking about this, only felt that her feet were soft, and her heart was beating in her chest, as if she was about to pop out at any time.

She didn't know where she was going, she just hung her head and walked out, and suddenly bumped into a person, who screamed, Jiang Li'er raised her head, and the confusion on her face was all written on her face.

The person who was hit was Mrs. Qin, and when she saw that it was Jiang Li'er, her expression eased a lot, and she said with concern: "What's wrong with the county lord, so flustered?" ”

Jiang Li'er didn't know what to say, she was speechless for a while, He Xi stood behind everyone, knowing that something must have happened, she walked out of the queue slowly, and said with a smile: "I think it's the Queen Mother who will arrange the dinner and hand it over to the county lord, I don't have to wait, the county lord is slow." ”

Mrs. Qin subconsciously echoed: "It's-"

When Jiang Li'er saw He Xi, her heart was settled, but when she thought of Fang Cai Zike and the Empress Dowager Xi's words, she became more and more flustered in her heart, and she looked at He Xi and said as if she was asking for help: "Thank you Miss Mu for reminding me, and I ask you to wait a while, the Queen Mother is still resting, and I want to be able to have a dinner with everyone——"

As he spoke, he walked past everyone, and when he walked to He Xi's side, Jiang Li'er said, "I think Miss Mu is calm and thoughtful, why don't you go with me?" ”

He Xi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes." ”

Then he turned around and followed Jiang Li'er, and when Mrs. Qin saw He Xi leaving, she pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything, just followed everyone to the main hall and waited. Jiang Li'er took He Xi and walked towards the small kitchen of Yikun Palace, and when she passed by a rockery, Jiang Li'er waved her hand and said to the maid beside her: "I have something to say to Miss Mu-"

He Xi glanced at Ruyi quietly, Ruyi was alert, stepped forward and climbed the handmaid's arm, and smiled affectionately: "This sister, how about we go over there to see the snow scene?" ”

The servant girl had to go with Ruyi, and when the next person left, Jiang Li'er couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore.
