"Yo, it's really unfortunate, Little Lord Xi, our mother didn't rest well last night, and she has been feeling unwell today." After that, he lowered his head and looked He Xi up and down again, and his eyes were full of unruly sarcasm.

"Besides, the little master's body is cold, so don't come in, so as to save our mother from getting sick." The more pothos said it, the more excessively it became, and even the gift was saved.

He Xi looked at her fixedly, and said word by word: "Let me in." ”

"Why can't Mrs. Xi hear the slave's words? The slave said again, you are not welcome in the Ice Spring Palace, you will still be in your Lingxiu Palace. Come on, send Mrs. Xi out for me! The smile on the pothos face could no longer be suppressed, and her face was hideous and hateful.

Thinking that Xu Qing'er really loved the pothos, with the order of the pothos, someone really dared to step forward and pull He Xi, Ruyi approached and whispered: "Little master, I think it's better to forget it today, Concubine Niangniang she-"

Before the words fell, I didn't know who pulled them hard, their bodies were unstable, they were standing on the stone steps, and they were pulled hard, and they fell backwards on their backs.

Fortunately, He Xi pulled Ruyi, and Ruyi forcibly stopped his body, but after such a fuss, the umbrella in Ruyi's hand was lost, and his whole body was instantly wet with rain, and his clothes were wet and stuck to his clothes, revealing a graceful curve.

There were many attendants around, and when they saw this scene, they laughed quietly one by one.

Ruyi's pretty face turned red, she tightly wrapped her hands around her chest, He Xi glanced back at the attendants, and the eunuchs who were still laughing suddenly stopped their mouths, such eyes, calm and full of majesty, which made people daunting.

He Xi took off the cloak on his body, put it on Ruyi's body, covered his figure, and pulled Ruyi under his umbrella.

"Mrs. Xi and Sister Ruyi are really masters and servants, so they look like a pair of sisters." The pothos laughed, as if she had seen something interesting.

Ruyi said in a trembling voice: "Green pothos, you don't want to get an inch, the status of the little master is precious, it can afford you to offend, even if you are favored, you are just a slave." Ruyi was obviously angry, and what she said didn't give pothos face at all.

Green pothos has always been one of the best in this Ice Spring Palace, even in front of Xu Qing'er, some things can be understood, when, has been humiliated like this, he was annoyed and angry for a while, he didn't want to think about it, he stepped forward, raised his hand and wanted to hit Ruyi's face.

How do you know that before the palm of her hand fell, she was grabbed by someone, it was He Xi, she said word by word: "Ruyi is the big palace maid in my palace, what is your identity, you dare to punish her in front of me?" Do you really think of yourself as half a master? He Xi's voice was full of emotion, and she shook off the hand of the green pothos, she used great strength, and the green reed was stumbled by her and almost fell.

still walked out of a small palace maid in the hall, and quickly supported her. She was unwilling and wanted to entangle. But I heard the little palace maid say: "Concubine Niangniang knows what happened outside, and she wants to see Mrs. Xi." ”

Lu Luo's eyes glared at the little palace maid fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you should hide it from the little master?" I can't do this thing, so what's the use of asking you! ”

The little palace maid was scolded by the head and face, and said with some grievances: "It's that there is too much noise in this courtyard, and the slave maid - the slave maid really can't hide it." The green pothos slapped the little palace maid in the face angrily, and scolded: "Don't get out of here!" ”

The little palace maid covered her face, her eyes were red, and she ran down, without even arguing, which was enough to see how powerful this pothos was in the Ice Spring Palace on weekdays.

He Xi was close to the pothos, and naturally she heard the words of the little palace maid, and she said in a deep voice: "Since the lady concubine agrees with me, can the pothos girl be convenient?" ”

Green pothos gritted her teeth, her eyes were unwilling, she suddenly laughed a little proudly: "What if I don't want to?" ”

He Xi didn't seem to expect that Luluo would rather disobey Xu Qing'er's order and make herself ugly.

"Send Mrs. Xi out!" Green Pothos commanded angrily, but at this time, no one dared to move, Green Pothos shouted twice, but no one moved, she said angrily: "Okay, wow, do you want to be driven out of the Ice Spring Palace!" ”

The arrogance in the tone seemed to be undisguised, and the attendants all hung their heads, as if they were struggling in their hearts. "When did I start to see your green pothos horse first?" A somewhat delicate voice sounded behind several people, and a graceful and luxurious woman walked out of the hall, holding her slightly bulging abdomen with one hand, it was Xu Qing'er.

He Xi bowed over and saluted with wishful thinking: "The concubine sees the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Wan'an." Xu Qing'er peeked at He Xi, and saw that He Xi and Ruyi's figures were hidden under the umbrella, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly, and the green pothos knelt down in a panic, and the rain under the stairs immediately soaked her skirt, looking very embarrassed, but she didn't mind kowtowing to Xu Qing'er at all: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid are just-just worried about the little master's body-" The green pothos spoke earnestly, as if it was really for Xu Qing'er's sake.

However, today's Xu Qing'er is not as easy to talk as in the past, her voice said coldly: "Pothos, what are you thinking in your heart, this palace knows it clearly, this palace has long advised you, put away your careful thoughts, since you have repeatedly taught you, then kneel in the rain and sober up!" ”

As soon as the pothos body was weak, she almost fell into the rain, she looked around, and saw a lot of palace people around her, she bit her lip stubbornly, and looked at He Xi as if she was suddenly poisoned: "The slave is willing to be punished." ”

Xu Qing'er saw that the pothos was really so obsessed, she was inevitably a little angry, she took a deep breath, ignored her, and invited He Xi into the hall.

Xu Qing'er was helped to the soft collapse, looked at Ruyi on the side, and whispered to the palace maid beside her: "Take Ruyi girl down to change clothes." ”

The little palace maid had a red palm print on her face, which was just beaten by the pothos. Both of them retreated, and Xu Qing'er said apologetically: "Sister He Xi, what happened last night, I-I'm sorry." He Xi raised her eyes and saw that her face was full of shame, and sighed in her heart.

He Xi said slowly: "I came today, not for this matter, Concubine Shu, He Xi is grateful for Concubine Niangniang's protection of the concubine when she first entered the palace, no matter what happened before, I want to repay the kindness." ”

Xu Qing'er has always been a little weak, and when she heard He Xi say this, she couldn't help but feel more and more guilty in her heart, and she tightly stirred the handkerchief in her hand. It almost tore the silk veil.

"The next words, the concubine only said once, the concubine remembered that there was a problem with the disaster relief funds in Shuzhong, Xu Shangshu is afraid that there is a big trouble at the moment, if the mother wants to protect herself, protect the Xu Mansion, immediately ask someone to send a letter out, thoroughly check the accounts before the matter is big, hand over all the people involved, no matter how distant or near the relatives, and strive to appease the refugees, there can be no negligence, and no opportunism." He Xi's speed of speech was extremely fast, almost not giving Xu Qing'er time to react.

After a long time, Xu Qing'er said in a trembling voice: "Shuzhong-my father-"

She seemed to be unable to accept the information revealed by He Xi all of a sudden, and muttered to herself.

"Then Sister He Xi, what should I do?" Xu Qing'er finally recovered from her shock, and suddenly became six gods and no master.

He Xi knew that she would react like this, and said in a soothing tone: "Niangniang will never remember what I just said, and when Xu Shangshu handles this matter, I will ask him to play, take the blame, and resign." He Xi paused word by word and said slowly.

Every time she said a word, Xu Qing'er felt a trace of strength unloaded from her body, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was strongly supporting her body in order not to fall.

He Xi couldn't bear to see her like this, but she had to tell her the truth of the matter, she stepped forward and grabbed Xu Qing'er's wrist, her fingers slightly forced. He said in a deep voice: "No matter who says anything in front of Niangniang, please Niangniang must believe me this time, only in this way can Niangniang protect herself and protect Xu Fu, do you know?" Xu Qing'er had tears in her eyes, nodded vigorously, and agreed.

He Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

She gently helped Xu Qing'er cut her hair with her hand, and said softly: "Now only Niangniang can save Xu's mansion, and Niangniang must take care of herself." She stretched out her hand to stroke Xu Qing'er's lower abdomen, and said with some reluctance: "Maybe this child is also the key to keeping Xu's mansion." ”

I don't know why, Xu Qing'er unconsciously retreated a little when she heard He Xi say this, and then felt that it was inappropriate, so she stopped her figure.

After He Xi left, Xu Qing'er hurriedly sat down in front of the desk and picked up the pen, but she found that her hands were trembling and she didn't even have the strength to hold the pen, and she became more and more anxious. Outside, he commanded, "Let the pothos come in and serve." ”

The green pothos was kneeling in the rain at this time to be punished, and when she heard the palace people come to call herself, she thought that the mother wanted to teach her a lesson, and she got up a little reluctantly.

First of all, she slowly went to change into dry clothes, and then entered the inner hall, and as soon as she entered the hall, she saw Xu Qing'er sitting alone in front of the desk, with discarded paper all over the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, and said in a loud voice: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it-"

She just wanted to say bad things about He Xi, but she saw Xu Qing'er turn her face, her face was full of tears, and when she saw the pothos, she hurriedly said: "Pothos, come and write a letter for the palace." ”

The pothos didn't know why, but she still stepped forward to help Xu Qing'er up first, and took a futon and a cushion for Xu Qing'er to sit on.
