In the evening, news came that the Internal Affairs Office was ordered to remove the water lilies in the flower pond in the queen's apse.

But the news came that a lot of "things" were dug up from that flower pond, and He Xi was personally feeding Tuoba Lin to eat at that time, and when she heard about it, she just looked at the meal in front of her expressionlessly, and Tuoba Lin said: "Mother, Lin'er is full." ”

He Xi chuckled, beckoned the nurse to come in and said, "Then Lin'er will go down with Mama to do her homework first, okay?" In a few days, I'm afraid that there will be a master to enlighten Lin'er. Tuoba Lin was very well-behaved and sensible, nodded and said, "Lin'er will definitely work hard." ”

He Xi touched his hair lovingly, the soft touch made her heart soften and soft, children always grow up quickly, it didn't take long, but He Xi always felt as if there were different changes every day, watching Lin'er being taken down.

Ruyi waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to remove all the leftovers on the table, Ruyi took a golden basin with clear water and came in, served He Xi to clean his hands, and then said: "Now, I don't know what the queen mother is going to panic into?" ”

He Xi smiled lightly: "In the past, Tuoba Chen turned a blind eye to many things she did, but now, Dali Siqing intervened, I want to see how they will explain to the civil and military officials and the people of the world." ”

Ruyi looked at the people around, and suddenly said: "Little master-slave has something I don't know, why-"

Seeing her hesitating, He Xi said, "Are you wondering why I wasted so much effort just to put a seal and a drawing on the palace maid's body?" ”

Ruyi nodded.

He Xi sighed lightly, Ruyi had been by her side for a long time, maybe she could tell her many things, she got up and walked to the apse with Ruyi, instructed her to close the door, and then took down the wordless spiritual seat behind the painting, and asked, "Do you know, who is this enshrined?" ”

Ruyi looked at He Xi and then at the tablet, and guessed: "Could it be ugly-"

He Xi gently caressed every inch of the wooden texture on the tablet, and said: "More than that, Ruyi, this small tablet carries the souls of many people, my father, Mu Wangye Mu Liancheng, mother, Mu Princess Xue Susu, brother Mu Wangfu's son Mu Cheng, as well as the loyal Xia Dong, and hundreds of people, their souls are trapped in this small tablet, with no name, no surname and no worship. ”

He Xi said slowly, word by word, ugly, she is not called ugly, she is called Xia Dong, the Xia Dong who sacrificed his life for himself and forgot to die and always remembered the princess and the princess.

Ugly is not suitable for her, she is very beautiful, Ruyi doesn't know how much effort she used, so she hid her exclamation at the corner of her lips, she didn't guess, anyone is curious, she knew that He Xi was not He Qing's daughter, but what she never expected was that He Xi turned out to be from Mu Wangfu-

She said in a trance, "But—but how—how did you get from the palace—"

She spoke a little unfavorably, as if a huge truth was unfolding in front of her, and she didn't even have time to see any of the details clearly, that kind of shock and overwhelm was vividly reflected in Ruyi's body, He Xi slowly sat down, and said to Ruyi: "I was really bent on death, but it was the will of God, a fire, just took away my original appearance, and did not take away my hatred, memory and even life, I naturally want to come back." ”

When she talked about this past again, she always had a pain in her heart that seemed to be numb, Ruyi looked at the look on He Xi's face, she didn't know, how He Xi did it, how she could do it so calmly, how she could face the enemy with a smile, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, knelt on the ground, and said: "Since the little master trusts the slave and maid so much, the slave and the maid must sacrifice their lives for the little master." ”

He Xi shook his head, shook his head again, and said: "No, Ruyi, you can't die, you have to live well, live well for our future, you know?" ”

Suddenly, the door creaked, as if it was lightly hit by something, Ruyi panicked, hurriedly ran out, but saw nothing, He Xi stared at a shallow ink on the ground, out of his mind.

She greeted Ruyi and said: "That's it, it is estimated that the wind is blowing, I haven't taken Lin'er to Shoukang Palace for a long time, I'm afraid that Concubine De misses it tightly." ”

Ruyi was still a little worried, but after looking and looking, he still didn't see a figure, so he had to give up, on the other side, in the side hall, Lin'er was sitting decently on the side of the desk with big characters, and the nurse and grandmother were on the side, and said with a smile: "Our eldest prince is smart, look at this word, the writing is really good-looking." ”

She didn't know a single word, but she knew that what the master wrote must be good, and as she was talking, she saw Zipei coming in with a panicked look holding the inkstone, I don't know what happened, the inkstone should have been held in her hand, but at this time she was holding it in her arms, and the placket of the palace skirt was black, very embarrassed.

That Mama already likes to make things difficult for Zijin and Zipei everywhere, Zijin is sleek and intelligent, and knows how to please, and Zipei, who is delicate and rude, this Mama doesn't like it, seeing that she is now frizzy, she is getting more and more annoyed, and she glared at her viciously and said: "It's also panicked to let you take an inkstone, and I don't know what the queen thinks, so I sent you over." ”

Zijin and Zipei are twin sisters, naturally they know this sister very well, she must have found something, she got up, and said angrily: "Mama don't be angry, Zipei is hairy, I will take her down to change her clothes, she looks like this, if she is seen by the Xi nobles, I am afraid that she will be punished." ”

The grandmother wished that they would not dangle in front of her, so she whispered: "Then don't go down quickly, this noisy and noisy will disturb the eldest prince's writing." ”

Zipei, who has always been a little delicate, is like a puppet who has lost his soul, and lets Zijin pull himself out of the side hall. The two came to the hut where the palace maid lived, Zijin quietly closed the door, and said to Zipei: "Say, what happened?" ”

Zi Pei seemed to suddenly pull out of something and said, "No-it's okay-" Zijin said with some displeasure: "What, you even hide your sister?" ”

Zipei got up in a panic to find clothes, she didn't like Zijin to think of herself as a sister in everything, she had to press her head in everything, and taught her how to do it, she said a little impatiently: "My sister didn't want to hide anything from my sister, but I heard that a lot of corpses were dug up from the flower pond in the Yang Palace, and I felt panicked for a while, but my sister, is there anything to hide from my sister?" ”

This sentence was also said by Zipei unintentionally, but from an angle that she couldn't see, Zijin's expression obviously became a little complicated, and she sighed and sat down and said: "You and I are sisters, don't forget, Concubine Hui's dependence and entrustment on us." ”

Zipei suddenly smiled, she held a brand new pink embroidered and lotus leaf pattern dress in her hand and compared it on her body, and said, "That's natural, okay, sister, go out quickly, sister is going to change clothes." ”

Zijin looked her up and down for a long time, and finally smiled and turned to leave.

After seeing her go out with the door closed, Zipei quickly put on her clothes, took the pen and ink on the case, wrote something, and then hurried out.

On the other side, He Xi arrived at the side hall and saw that there was only a nursing mother and mother beside the eldest prince, and couldn't help asking, "What about Zijin and Zipei?" ”

When Tuoba Lin saw He Xi, he hurriedly stood up, took He Xi's hand and said, "Mother, look at the words written by Lin'er." ”

He Xi followed him to the side of the case, and saw the neat typing on the case, although some of the drawing strength was insufficient, but it had already faintly brought a pen stroke, He Xi praised: "Lin'er is getting better and better." ”

The grandmother hurriedly smiled and said, "Isn't it? The intelligence of the eldest prince is comparable to that of an adult in the eyes of slaves and maids, unlike some people, who are old and do things carelessly. ”

He Xi frowned slightly, she didn't like her in front of the eldest prince, she spoke in a weird way, so she said, "Mama, what's wrong?" ”

The grandmother just wanted to tell Zipei fiercely, but before she could speak, she heard Zijin's delicate voice behind her and remembered: "Mama is talking about Zipei, the slave has already taught her, please be merciful, don't sue in front of the little master, okay?" ”

She was half coquettish, half flattering, but she made the nurse and mother speechless, and He Xi didn't want to entangle with them more, so she said: "Okay, in the future, in front of the eldest prince, pay more attention." Lin'er, go and bring all the words you have practiced these days, and let's go visit Grandma Taifei. ”

Lin'er obediently did what He Xi said, Ruyi hurriedly followed over to clean up, and suddenly heard Tuoba Lin's oops, Ruyi hurriedly said: "What's wrong with the eldest prince?" ”

Tuoba Lin's little face, which was still full of interest, collapsed suddenly, and he flattened his mouth and said, "This is the best painting I think I have written these days, how did it get dirty——"

He Xi looked over, and sure enough, she saw that the white paper was rubbed with some black ink, she frowned slightly, the grandmother looked at it, and then looked at the inkstone that she had just taken from Zipei, and said: "Oh - it's all strange Zipei's girl, and I don't wipe the inkstone and bring it over, the slave found that the inkstone used by the prince was a little worn today, so he thought about letting Zipei find a new piece, who knew that this girl was taken like this, and the slave maid was not thoughtful, and dyed the words of the eldest prince, the slave and the maid should die." ”
