This sentence made Qi Hui feel certain in his heart, and he hurriedly hugged Xiangxiang horizontally, and sat down in a sheltered place outside the house. It was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight was thick, and under the bright moonlight, Xiangxiang's beautiful face was more and more revealed, she bit her red lips, looked up at Qi Hui from time to time, and finally asked cautiously: "Do you also like Miss Pang?" ”

Qi Hui was very calm, and replied neatly: "I don't like it." Seeing the glint in Xiangxiang's eyes, he continued to explain, "It's not that I deliberately hid it from you, I just don't think there's any need to say it." My mother said that Qianyou has thoughts about me, in my opinion, it's just that her daughter is reckless, she doesn't necessarily understand the love between men and women, she may just think that I am different from others, she wants to be different. ”

Xiangxiang muttered: "Not necessarily, although I don't know much about it." She held her heart at the door and said frankly, "I just know that it is very uncomfortable for a Miss Pang to suddenly appear, I have never been like this, isn't it strange." ”

Qi Hui said: "In my eyes, she is just Shifeng's sister. ”

"Of course you believe you, I don't think nonsense, Xi Niang said that women are too careful and will be annoying." Xiangxiang tried hard to throw away the sourness in his heart, drilled into Qi Hui's arms, and said with peace of mind, "Now that I rely on you, I won't be uncomfortable." ”

Qi Hui gently stroked her hair, each strand slid into her fingers coolly and softly, exuding a faint fragrance, but she didn't expect that the shallow thing would be said by her mother.

He didn't lie to Xiangxiang, he confirmed that Qianyou was not the so-called love between men and women, but as Xiangxiang said, it is likely that it may not be so simple. With Pang Qianyou's temperament, she will not tolerate Xiangxiang, but she can't allow anyone to bully Xiangxiang, he has to face Qianyou well, and before Qianyou finds trouble with Xiangxiang, he will make a break in this matter.

At this time, Xiangxiang moved in her arms, only to see her raise her feet, gently caressing the scars on her calves through the hem of her skirt, Qi Hui asked her what to do, she said uncomfortably: "It's very itchy when it's almost better, I don't dare to scratch it, I can only touch it." ”

Young body, the wound heals very quickly, with the permission of Xiang Xiang, Qi Hui picked up the skirt to check the wound, there are large scabs, the wound looks more shocking than when it was just burned, and there are whip marks on her body, Qi Hui is very distressed, and told Xiang Xiang: "Don't scratch, it will leave a scar, you wait for me to go to the hospital, find you a good ointment, don't scratch." His eyes were full of love, and he looked forward to Xiangxiang being able to live a peaceful life with him in the future and never suffer from this again.

"Wait a little longer, and we'll be able to leave." Qi Hui gently stroked Xiangxiang's wound to relieve her itching.

"Follow you, and I'm not afraid." Xiangxiang snuggled up to him contentedly, looked up at the night sky, and said, "If I entered the palace to meet you, when the class master dies, I will definitely set up a tombstone for him to thank him." ”

Qi Hui was amused.

Mid-Autumn Festival night, the emperor's relatives, foreign envoys have poured into the imperial city to feast, the royal state banquet is extremely luxurious, and the prosperous era of peace comes from all directions to congratulate, it is this year after the first day of the first month of the big banquet, another large-scale state banquet that cost millions, and this time the emperor found the most suitable excuse for his extravagance, that is, to marry a wife for the prince. But tonight is only the engagement after the announcement of the will to give the marriage, according to the emperor's wishes, there should be a more solemn wedding later.

On the spacious and luxurious main hall of the Mingde Palace, the prince is dressed in a dress, and he comes forward to receive the order of thanks, and when he is young, he sees a petite woman wearing a heavy dress that does not fit, fortunately, there are female officials on the left and right to support, and he walks steadily to the front of the palace, but the eleven-year-old girl, the head has not yet grown, the prince marries late, if he marries early like the general prince's son, and then a few years older, he can be the father of the princess, and he is a generation older, is the cousin of the princess.

Concubine Li and Sun Zhaoyi sat on the same side and sneered at each other: "The Mo family is really down, they can't even find a decent daughter, and it's really God's best for them, other people's families can't give birth to sons, and after their family beat the queen, they can't give birth to a daughter." ”

The concubines sat in order, although Concubine Li was domineering, but there were still old concubines in the palace whose status was higher than her, but they all asked for a stable meal in their later years and did not get involved in the affairs of the harem, but the identity was there, and on serious occasions, Concubine Li still had to follow the rules.

And from her and Sun Zhaoyi down, dozens of famous concubines of different ages are listed, today's harem is the most prosperous generation since the founding of the country, but most of the women have been abandoned by the old emperor who likes the new and hates the old, not everyone has the ability to survive the status of Concubine Li and Sun Zhaoyi. Since Concubine Li and Sun Zhaoyi fought against each other, all the concubines who wanted to be sharp would disappear into the harem inexplicably, and it is impossible to count how many people have been infected with blood in the hands of Concubine Li and Sun Zhaoyi.

The quiet beauty of Furong Ju is now a favorite, and the heads she wears are brighter and more luxurious than ordinary concubines, plus she is naturally beautiful, although she sits at the end of the seat according to her position, if she sweeps her eyes to the concubines, anyone can see her at a glance.

It's just that everyone thinks that Jingmei is dressed up for the emperor, but she herself only longs to let the prince take a second look.

After the crown princess saluted, Sun Zhaoyi stepped forward and said to the emperor that she had arranged a dance performance, and today there were foreign envoys who wanted to invite them to also see the style of the empire. ”

Sun Zhaoyi pointed down at the seat and said with a smile: "Naturally, she is a Jing Mei, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find someone who can be more beautiful than Jing Meiren's dancing." ”

Jingshu got up from her seat, and the lotus step moved lightly to the center of the hall, the etiquette and rules at this moment, Sun Zhaoyi taught her countless times, what to say and what to do tonight, and there can be no mistakes at all.

When she changed her clothes, took the dancers back to the main hall, danced, the plain white dance dress embroidered with gold and silver thread auspicious clouds, at first glance the ordinary skirt, with the dance steps, reflected the most brilliant light under the candlelight, the blue water sleeves under her delicate arms, like a river endlessly extending forward.

The soft waist, the charming smile, and the nervous expression when she turned around and flew were also particularly moving, and Jingshu's body had changed a lot, and the ministers who had attended the Dragon Midnight banquet that day were surprised that a little dancer had only been a few months and had transformed into a beauty that was enough to captivate the country.

However, the prince didn't look at it, when Jingshu panted and fell on the ground to salute, and glanced at the prince when he raised his head, he was talking to his young fiancée, Jingshu's body was hot after the dance, and his heart suddenly cooled.

The emperor was obsessed with Jingshu's dancing, and gave a rich reward at the moment, after Jingshu pretended to be happy and returned to his seat, he didn't even listen to the cold or sour congratulations around him, and others felt that Jingmei was self-righteous, but she was just sad, and the prince's eyes never fell on him.

After the banquet, the emperor will lead the crowd to the imperial garden to enjoy the lanterns, the crowd of people poured out of the Mingde Palace, and the guards escorted them along the way, for fear that the emperor would encounter an accident, so many people entered the palace, it was inevitable that the fish and dragons would be mixed, and it was the sons of the Pang family who were responsible for all this prevention, if something happened, it would be a shame for the prime minister.

At this moment, Qi Hui helped the Shifeng brothers arrange the affairs in the imperial garden, and had returned to the cold palace, Xiangxiang had been waiting for a long time in a night suit, and the injury on her leg had healed better and was already able to walk normally.

But Qi Hui said: "Let's walk over slowly, there is nothing to hurry, I know the time to light the lanterns and fireworks." ”

The two of them were wearing night clothes, and there was hardly any trace on the road without the palace lamp, and even if they met the lights, as long as they hid in the dark, the people under the lights would never be able to see what was in the darkness. In addition, Qi Hui was familiar with the roads in the palace, and knew where the emperor's concubines and guests were walking at this moment, and took Xiangxiang all the way to the imperial garden, and almost no one was met.

The size of the imperial garden, Xiang Xiang followed Jing Shu to see it, Qi Hui also brought her a few times, they entered through another door, and they would not meet the holy driver or the minister at all, but unexpectedly, a few people came out here, according to reason, everyone should stay in their own place and wait for the order to light the lamp, no one should walk at will, Qi Hui reacted very quickly, and without waiting for Xiang Xiang to see clearly, he pulled her into the bushes.

Xiangxiang was hugged by Qi Hui in his arms, and gently covered his mouth, intending not to let her make a sound, Xiangxiang stared nervously outside, these days in the cold palace used to do things in the dark at night, she can also see the movement outside, between a middle-aged woman led the two little eunuchs out, and said softly: "Send her to the prince's bed tonight, when the time comes, the mother will take the emperor to catch the adulterer, there will be nothing to do with you, you just let go of the people and leave immediately." After the deed is done, I will reward you with the silver, and then transfer it to ....... ”

They gradually drifted away, Qi Hui carefully took Xiangxiang out of the bushes, and after helping her to stand firmly, he felt that Xiangxiang's body was more tense than Fang Cai, and he also heard the words of the palace maid just now.

"That palace maid is Concubine Li's person, it should be Concubine Li's desire to harm the prince." Qi Hui said.

"Really?" Xiangxiang's heart jumped suddenly, the word "rape" was too scary, she looked at Qi Hui, she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

"Are you afraid of Jingmei?"

Xiangxiang nodded violently, but shook his head again, and said contradictoryly: "I just told you that I will not interfere in whether she is good or bad in the future." ”

Qi Hui's expression was gentle: "If you want to remind her or save her, I can do it for you, it's not difficult." But I don't want me to do it, and you feel guilty, it's not what you said, you can do whatever you want, don't suppress yourself? ”

Xiangxiang said: "That day, she saw that I was blocking in front of my mother, and immediately threw away the iron in her hand, and she was slapped by Sun Zhaoyi. She involuntarily grabbed Qi Hui's arm, "If she is caught raped, will she die a miserable death?" ”

Qi Hui was indifferent: "There was a precedent in the palace, but at that time, the queen pushed everything on the concubine and insisted on the prince's innocence, the concubine did die miserably, and now the queen is no more, and the prince's fate is also worrying." But don't be in a hurry, don't cry, I'll help you stop her. But we're going to be gone soon, we can save her this time, what about next time? ”
