Where is this? Chu Xiaochuan asked. Although this palace is not remote, it is deserted, and it is almost the same as a cold palace.

"This is the Xian'an Palace, there is a concubine living in it, it is said that she has not been favored, the emperor has never been to the Xian'an Palace, it is similar to the cold palace here." Brother A.

Chu Xiaochuan did not associate the people inside with the so-called masters and the people who took away the two princes, and was about to leave with his brothers, when suddenly, the door of Xian'an Hall opened, and a palace maid walked out of it, bowed to Chu Xiaochuan, and said: "Commander Chu, our mother invites you to go in and have a cup of tea." ”

Chu Xiaochuan frowned, he didn't know what the concubine in the Xian'an Palace had in mind, so he refused directly: "No need, I don't know your mother, so don't bother." ”

When that's all that, I'm leaving.

The palace maid spoke: "Commander Chu, do you remember the Mid-Autumn Festival night five years ago?" ”

Chu Xiaochuan turned his head suddenly.

Five years ago, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chu Xiaochuan was attacked by someone, injured and fell into the river, he could not float in the water, and almost drowned, thanks to being rescued. When he woke up, he found Li who was leaving with the maid, he thought that Li had saved him, and he was fascinated by Li's appearance, and fell in love with Li at first sight, and he did not regret it.

The palace maid looked at Chu Xiaochuan and said, "It was my mother who ordered you to be rescued. But when my mother saw that you were fine, she took the first step, where did she think that the Li family would just pass by and be regarded as a life-saving benefactor by you. ”

Chu Xiaochuan: "......"

He has found the wrong life-saver all these years?

Chu Xiaochuan didn't know how to react.

The palace maid spoke again: "Commander Chu, do you want to go in and have a cup of tea?" ”

Chu Xiaochuan was silent for a moment, and said to his brothers: "You continue to look for the two little princes, I will go in and have a cup of tea and come out." ”

Chu Xiaochuan followed Chuxue into the Xian'an Palace, came to Gao Ming'an's door, and reported: "Niangniang, Commander Chu is here." ”

"Commander Chu, please come in." A faint and pleasant voice came from inside the door.

Chu Xue pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation to Chu Xiaochuan. Chu Xiaochuan walked in the door, Chu Xue did not enter the door, and stood by the door to prevent others from approaching.

Chu Xiaochuan saw a table in the center of the room, and a young woman was sitting at the table boiling water to make tea. Her movements are fluid and elegant, with a charm that makes people unconsciously indulge in her movements.

Chu Xiaochuan came to the table and sat down, his eyes not taking off the woman's movements. The woman poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Chu Xiaochuan, and said, "Commander Chu, please use tea." ”

Chu Xiaochuan picked up the teacup, sniffed it under his nose, and took another sip.

"Good tea." Chu Xiaochuan said, "The tea is good, and the level of tea brewing is better, so that such delicious tea can be brewed." ”

The woman smiled: "Thank you Commander Chu for the compliment." ”

Only then did Chu Xiaochuan see the woman's appearance clearly. The woman is not as bright and beautiful as the Li family, and she can only be regarded as a middle-class posture, but her temperament is elegant, which adds a lot of points to it, and she has another charm compared to the Li family.

Chu Xiaochuan sighed in his heart, if he had woken up and saw this woman, maybe he would have fallen in love with her at first sight. It's a pity that by mistake, I already like the Li family, and there will be no one else in my heart.

The woman spoke: "This palace has not introduced itself yet, this palace's surname is Gao, and her life is Gao Ming'an, and she is now an concubine in the palace." ”

"High? People from the Gao family? Chu Xiaochuan asked. He had a good impression of the Gao family, and admired the head and heir of the Gao family even more, when the people of other families were addicted to the pleasures and power in the capital, only the Gao family was sober and firmly controlled their own base camp, breaking some of the emperor's methods against the family.

Gao Ming'an nodded, and suddenly said, "Commander Chu, I was pleased with you." ”

Chu Xiaochuan was caught off guard by the beauty confession, his handsome face turned red, and he spoke for a long time: "I'm sorry, Niangniang, I have a place in my heart, and I can only live up to Niangniang's affection." ”

"It's okay." Gao Mingan smiled, "It's my own business to like you, and it doesn't matter if you don't respond." What's more, since I knew that you liked it was Lee, I took back this like. ”

Chu Xiaochuan blushed even more.

Gao Mingan continued to smile: "The person I like must at least have a good vision. And Commander Chu's vision is really a little problematic. ”

Chu Xiaochuan's face fell: "What do you mean by this?" ”

He can accept other women saying that he is not good, but he cannot accept other women saying that his sweetheart is not good.

Gao Mingan was not afraid at all: "What advantages does the Li family have besides that face?" Can Commander Chu tell me? ”

"She, she ......" Chu Xiaochuan "her" for a long time, and said, "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she knows." ”

Gao Mingan asked rhetorically: "Isn't piano, chess, calligraphy and painting something that every noble girl of the family has to master?" ”

Chu Xiaochuan actually knew that the Li family was not as perfect as he imagined, and the person he liked should be beautified by his own speculation, but he was used to it, so that he no longer liked that person all of a sudden, as if scraping the flesh on his body, uncomfortable and unaccustomed.

Gao Mingan also knew Chu Xiaochuan's thoughts, changed the topic, and no longer belittled Chu Xiaochuan's sweetheart. Just now, it was just for the original owner's anger. If Chu Xiaochuan hadn't been blind and liked the Li family, the original owner would have found an opportunity to get close to Chu Xiaochuan, saying that there would be no way to make Chu Xiaochuan like the original owner, the two families would have agreed to marry early, and the original owner would have married earlier, and he would not have been forced to enter the prince's mansion by the royal family.

"Commander Chu, what are your plans for the future?" Gao Mingan asked.

Chu Xiaochuan looked up at Gao Ming'an, looked at the look in his eyes as if he knew everything, and sighed: "What else?" I've already gotten on Empress Yang's boat, and I can't get off. ”

Gao Mingan smiled: "But Empress Yang's boat is not stable." Although the eldest prince is young, he always has to grow up, and he has no blood relationship with the Yang family. ”

Chu Xiaochuan said: "Niangniang, this is asking me to take refuge in the eldest prince?" Can the Great Prince keep me? ”

Gao Mingan shook his head: "Although the emperor was not killed by you, after all, it was you who helped Queen Yang, and the emperor would die." You and the eldest prince have a grudge against your father. Moreover, if you betray a king for the sake of a woman, what king do you think will tolerate you? And those brothers of yours, I'm afraid they will all be unlucky with you. ”

Chu Xiaochuan was silent again, he understood that what Gao Mingan said was the truth. In order to avenge the Li family, he put his family and his brothers into it. I didn't react at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for them.

"Mother, what should I do?" Chu Xiaochuan was at a loss.

Gao Mingan sighed and said: "Leave, if you leave, at least you can save your life, save the entire family and the brothers who follow you!" ”
