But looking at Tuoba Lin's expression, he was still a little kind, and he thought that he was just a little dissatisfied with He Xi.

He Xi didn't care, knelt on the ground and took a deep breath, and finally said: "The concubine Niangniang misunderstood, the concubine just wants the concubine Niangniang to protect Lin'er." ”

Concubine De's fingertips paused, it seemed that He Xi's answer was a little unexpected to her, there seemed to be a deep whirlpool in her eyes, containing a storm, but there was a sinking retreat, back to calm, she seemed to be a little puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

The child she is holding in her hand, no matter what his background is, is the eldest son of the emperor of the Great Calendar after all, and now there is no heir in the middle palace, Rao is the prince will have a prince in the future, and the status of the eldest son is different from that of other concubines, how can it be to the extent of being sheltered?

He Xi was silent, hanging her head, it seemed that Concubine De would not get up if she didn't agree, even Aunt Ruizhi was confused, Concubine De stared at a plain and small bead flower between He Xi's sideburns, and was distracted for a moment before saying: "Get up, the mourning family promised you, Lin'er is smart and cute, in the future, you will take him to Shoukang Palace to sit and talk." ”

He Xi was delighted, a smile bloomed on her face, like a clear lotus after the rain, fresh and refined, Concubine De glanced at He Xi, and inevitably sighed in her tone: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, your appearance is destined to suffer badly in the palace, Lin'er Mourning will take good care of it, but you also know that the Mourning family is now in this Shoukang Palace, and has already ignored the affairs of the harem for many years, not before, and not in the future." Although the emperor and empress respect me in their hearts, they have no real power in their hands after all. ”

Concubine De said earnestly, helped Aunt Ruizhi's hand, walked down from the top, personally helped He Xi up, half comforting and half admonishing patted He Xi's hand, He Xi felt that Concubine De's pair of soft and easy maintenance was excellent, and her palms were gentle, such familiarity couldn't help but make her think of A-Niang, and her eyes were suddenly a little moist.

She nodded and said: "The concubine also knows the priority of the matter, and it is already a grace for the concubine to agree to the concubine's last request, so naturally she doesn't dare to ask for more, as for the concubine herself-"

She glanced at Tuoba Lin with some pity, and didn't say much later, but Concubine De felt that the woman in front of her was a little different, and she had some praise in her heart, she had always liked smart people, especially smart people who knew the times, and couldn't help but get a little closer to He Xi, plus Tuoba Lin was a lively and active age, and the originally cold Shoukang Palace gradually became angry.

He Xi took the eldest prince to the news of Shoukang Palace, as if he had wings, and flew to various palaces, some people were happy and some were worried, but the only happy person was Bai Zhi of Chuxiu Palace, she threaded the needle and thread in her hand, and after a moment of effort, a lively little tiger had already appeared under her hand, she unfolded it and looked at the daylight, only to see that the stitches were fine and the tentacles were smooth.

The little palace maid on the side whispered: "Little master, last night, I heard that the queen took the two maidens to Lingxiu Palace to make trouble. Bai Zhi put down the small clothes in her hand with satisfaction, folded them carefully, handed them to the grandmother beside her, and instructed her to wash them carefully, and then replied to her maidservant's words: "The thunder is loud, the rain is small, and I haven't seen them make any noise." ”

"That's right, I heard that last night, the last person who left Lingxiu Palace in a gloomy manner, the queen still has a little face, and Her Majesty accompanied her back." The little palace maid had a gossipy look on her face.

Bai Zhi rubbed her sore waist, and said lazily: "The queen mother is the face of the harem, no matter how wrong she is, His Majesty always wants to sell her some face, besides, there is Prime Minister Lan Cheng in the previous dynasty. As soon as Bai Zhi said this, she sighed faintly, her background was not as good as those high-ranking and powerful people, and her appearance was not as good as He Xi.

Thinking like this, some of the relaxed smiles on his face turned into bitter wine and seeped into the bottom of his heart.

The little maid just thought that Bai Zhi was tired, so she reached out to help Bai Zhi gently press her shoulder, and said with some schadenfreude: "If you say that the prime minister is in a high position, Your Majesty will only take care of the queen and Concubine Hui, but if you want to come to the concubine, you may not have such a blessing." ”

Bai Zhi opened her eyes faintly as if she was puzzled, and asked, "Oh? Where does this begin? ”

Xu is interested in seeing Bai Zhi, and the goddess of the small palace named Baozhu became more and more mysterious, and when she saw that there was no one in the hall, she gently whispered something in Bai Zhi's ear.

"Is this serious?" Bai Zhi sat up straight in shock, her heart was pounding, and she forcibly suppressed the surprise in her heart with a handkerchief to calm herself down.

"Little master, don't worry, the slave maid has a distant cousin who serves in the army, but he came back to say this, and now the matter is a bit big, but it is suppressed, and it has not reached Your Majesty." The little maid said with a smug face.

"It's a big deal, you can't tell anyone you want, do you hear?" Angelica Angelica is colorful.

The little palace maid nodded yes again and again, Bai Zhi thought about it again and again, and called the grandmother of Fang Cai and said, "Take the clothes back first, no need to wash them, Baozhu, follow me to Lingxiu Palace." ”

"The slave obeys the order, but the little master, Mrs. Xi is afraid that she is not in Lingxiu Palace at this time." Orb blocked.

Bai Zhi's body, which had been standing up, also stopped, and asked suspiciously: "Not there?" ”

Baozhu nodded again and again: "I heard that Mrs. Xi took the eldest prince to Shoukang Kong to visit Concubine De early this morning, and she has not come out of Shoukang Palace at this hour, so I am afraid that she will be left for lunch." ”

Bai Zhi glanced at Baozhu and said, "I didn't expect that you know more about the things in the harem than I do." Baozhu still said with the same expression: "The slave is the eye of the little master, and naturally everything must be paid attention to by the little master." ”

Bai Zhi looked the jewel up and down, and the jewel's expression remained unchanged, allowing Bai Zhi to look at herself, Xu saw that she looked calm, Bai Zhi finally didn't say anything, turned around and sat down.

At the same time, He Xi was accompanying Concubine De to lunch, Concubine De was full of smiles, Tuoba Lin gradually became familiar with the environment, and became cheerful, seeing that Tuoba Lin could eat with a silver spoon by himself, Concubine De nodded with satisfaction, touched his little head lovingly and said: "It's not in vain that your mother and concubine have worked hard for you, you are really a smart child." In the future, you will often come to my Shoukang Palace. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the Rui Zhi on the side, Aunt Rui Zhi understood, and hurriedly took out a transparent jade pendant from the makeup on the side, and the milky white water halo stained the patterns on it, and at a glance, he knew that it was not ordinary.

"This is Xiliang's unique warm jade, staying on the body, it can warm people, Lin'er is weak, so he gave him this warm jade." After speaking, he personally tied a moire knot around Tuoba Lin's waist.

He Xi took Tuoba Lin to thank Concubine De, and talked with him for a while, until he saw that Concubine De seemed to be tired on her face, so she took Tuoba Lin to retreat with interest.

On the way, He Xi's mood was still good, when he passed by the Imperial Garden, Tuoba Lin fluttered his little arms and wanted to play, He Xi was a little helpless, Ruyi went to the side to persuade and explained: "Little master, boys are becoming more and more lively, I am afraid that the eldest prince will like to play more and more in the future, we are worried about the days ahead." ”

He Xi tapped Tuoba Lin's little head in disgust, but the footsteps were indeed towards the imperial garden, the weather in summer was a little hot, the ugly child held an umbrella and followed behind the eldest prince, He Xi sat in the pavilion, watching from afar.

One big and one small, one pink and one green, shuttling among the flowers, it also looks a little pleasing to the eye.

"Little lord, I heard that His Royal Highness King Xian did not go to the early court today, His Majesty asked the reason and said that he was sick." Ruyi said as he looked at He Xi over and over again, the injury on He Xi's body when he came back yesterday, and the Xian Wang who took the little master out is still sick today, if it is just a coincidence, no one can believe it.

"We were plotted yesterday in Guling." He Xi was concise, she had been thinking about this matter all night yesterday, the figure in the dark, and the feeling of being watched, she was sure that this was not an accident.

"Who dares to plot against you and the prince under the nose of the prince?" Ruyi really never thought that the truth of the matter would be like this.

There was a smile on the corner of He Xi's lips, yes, this ancient tomb can be regarded as Tuoba Yue's secret stronghold, and those who can enter here must be Tuoba Yue's henchmen.

"It doesn't matter who listens, the important thing is that maybe the truth of this matter will never be revealed." He Xi suddenly felt a slight sourness in her heart, and the bruise on her arm was still aching, and she lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking.

As for He Xi's expression, she always felt that the aura on her body seemed more and more alienated, and she wanted to say something, but she saw two people walking in from outside the imperial garden from a distance.

She lowered her head and whispered, "Little master, Bai Cairen is here." ”

Bai Zhi came straight towards the pavilion, and at the foot of the stone steps of the pavilion, she stopped and said softly: "The concubine is Mrs. Xi, Mrs. Xi really makes the concubine easy to find." ”

The meaning of these words is already very obvious, she is here to find He Xi today, He Xi hung down her arms, and layers of water sleeves covered her arms to hide the scars.

"Excuse me, it's getting sunny outside, come in and sit." He Xi beckoned to Bai Zhi and called her in. Bai Zhi glanced at the orb, and the orb did not follow, but stood at the foot of the pavilion, as if he was alert to the surrounding situation.
