166 Strange Patterns (and Updates.)

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, Xiangxiang's clenched heart is loosened, in broad daylight, how many palace maids and eunuchs are here, what can the emperor do?

And at this moment, Qi Xu, who was sitting high on his shoulder, had a heart in his chest beating heavily, on such a cold day, he specially chose to sit on his shoulder, just to take a closer look at Xiangxiang in a dignified manner, waiting for the Longevity Palace to spread the word that Xiangxiang came out, and he was anxious.

Hurriedly came by the road, and saw her coming from the opposite side, and then stood on the side of the road, with a demure and gentle demeanor, and the snowflakes were falling, adding a little hazy. But the closer he got, the more he felt that he couldn't see clearly, the emperor held the handrail tightly, he had to calm down, today was the first meeting in the real sense, his too abrupt words and deeds would scare Xiangxiang.

Shoulder Yu unexpectedly stopped in front of Xiang Xiang, Xiang Xiang had to bow to the ground, but she had to bend her knees, and the emperor on the shoulder had said softly: "No need to be polite, the weather is cold, the ground is too cold." ”

Xiangxiang owes her gratitude, the emperor sees that she is silent, and he doesn't know how to open the conversation, a "brother and sister" is certainly kind, but then doesn't he admit her relationship with Qi Hui? can shout directly, Xiangxiang will definitely be surprised, he doesn't want to meet alone for the first time, leaving an impression of rudeness. After making many trade-offs, he simply avoided the title and asked: "Where is this going, the middle palace has been dispersed?" I sent someone to send melons and fruits from the south for the queen and the ladies to taste, I'm afraid you missed it. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiangxiang said politely and didn't say anything.

Seeing her like this, the emperor didn't know how to start a dialogue with each other, even if he listened to Xiangxiang's voice more, he felt comfortable, but everything was a little abrupt, and when he was a little irritable, when he saw the people in the Longevity Palace behind Xiangxiang, he immediately took the initiative to mention Song Jingshu, and asked with a smile: "Behind you are the people in the Concubine Palace, this is from the Longevity Palace?" ”

Xiangxiang politely explained that she went to the Longevity Palace from the middle palace to ask for peace, and the emperor smiled and asked her what she said to the concubine, and said: "Now that there are few people in the palace, the concubine and the queen will inevitably be lonely. ”

Xiangxiang said yes, thinking of Jing Shu's words, for fear that he would be too indifferent, which would make the emperor angry with Jing Shu, and tried to squeeze out a little smile, as he showed to Jing Shu in the Longevity Palace just now, and showed the burden from the clothes and said: "The concubine has left some old things of the concubine's body, and the concubine body will go to the Longevity Palace today to retrieve it, and thank you together." ”

In Xiangxiang's opinion, it is clear that most people already know her origin, and there is nothing wrong with saying this at this moment, but the emperor doesn't seem to want to admit this, and asks everyone who says carefully, but this matter is vague, whether he doesn't want Jingshu to be compared with Xiangxiang, or doesn't want to face Xiangxiang's slightly cold background, only he understands.

However, when the emperor saw Xiangxiang smiling, he was already overjoyed, and he almost had to say something more, and the thought of calmness suddenly passed through his heart, he couldn't go too far, he wanted to go through the water. Now, how can you not get Xiangxiang, why make her afraid or even disgusted with herself, and there are only two ways to go in the future, if Xiangxiang can't come to him willingly, he can only rob it, but for now he still needs Qi Hui.

He understands that only by sitting firmly on the dragon chair can there be women in the world, isn't this exactly the case with the first emperor? But thinking of the first emperor, the emperor felt sick again, and quickly waved away these thoughts, how could he be the same as the first emperor.

When the atmosphere was a little delicate, a little palace maid on the side couldn't help but sneeze when she was blown by the wind and snow. Seeing the look of pity in Xiangxiang's eyes, the emperor hurriedly stopped a few eunuchs who were going to take away the palace maid and said, "It's cold, don't worry about it, reward her with a padded jacket." He didn't want ......to call Xiangxiang a lady or a princess after all, so he said bluntly, "Send the umbrella over, there is still a long way to go out of the palace, don't get your clothes wet." ”

There was a eunuch who came forward with an oil-paper umbrella, Xiang Xiang blessed his body and thanked him, he tried not to open his mouth if he could not speak, the emperor could see that there would be no big gains today, but at the moment it was not bad, at least Xiang Xiang was smiling and very kind to himself. Satisfied, he leaned forward and leaned back, finally waving his hand to move forward.

The holy car drove away, dozens of eunuchs and palace maids hugged each other, and walked for a long time before they really left in front of Xiangxiang, and Xiangxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, before entering the palace, I thought that the emperor might think of ways to get close to her, and the road to the middle palace was accompanied by Pang Qianyou, she didn't say it on her face, and she was secretly grateful in her heart, if it wasn't for the shallow and aggressive words that made her unbearable, she wouldn't easily leave her and go first. Then on the way from the middle palace to the Longevity Palace, she was also careful not to run into the emperor all the way, thinking that the emperor would not appear today, but at this moment, she met it.

Walking outside the palace again, Xiangxiang's steps unconsciously became lighter, although she understood that this time she was safe, it didn't mean that she would be okay after that, but she should be grateful if she was finally able to leave the palace safely. When she entered the palace, she didn't say anything, but she thought about it in her heart, if the emperor really dared to do something to her, he couldn't let him succeed desperately, but the result was a hundred times better than she imagined.

Obviously, from Pang Qianyou's meanness, to Jingshu's hatred, and then the emperor's seemingly polite but secretly obscene encounter, there is nothing to be happy about, but Xiangxiang thought that he could go home to see his husband with all his beards and tails, and he couldn't help but feel good. On the road further, there will naturally be a smile on her face, and this smile will be remembered by the accompanying eunuchs, and then she will inevitably tell the emperor or concubine, and her full of relaxed joy is all in Pang Qianyou's eyes.

Pang Qianyou learned that the emperor liked Xiangxiang, and finally promised that the queen would help her pass the word to her father, and in order to get out of the middle palace, I heard that the lady of Prince Shuo's mansion had not left the palace, she hurried to wait in front of the palace gate, sure enough, Xiangxiang was delayed for some hours because of the emperor, later than Qianyou.

When Qianyou saw her like this, she muttered in her heart, she didn't understand what Xiangxiang was happy about, could it be that she had a private meeting with the emperor?

And Xiangxiang didn't expect that Qianyou would wait here, the carriage of Pangfu was on the side, she shouldn't wait for someone to prepare the car, and after a few hurried glances, Xiangxiang made up her mind not to go forward to say hello, and when she saw the people from the palace catching up, she walked to her own carriage. Unexpectedly, Pang Qianyou came up and shouted to her: "Xiangxiang, you wait." ”

At this moment, the people accompanying Xiangxiang in the palace were not selected from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when they saw Miss Pang's attitude, they all frowned tightly, and they were waiting with them on the one hand, and on the other hand, they wanted to protect Mrs. for the prince, so they ignored Miss Pang and directly moved their pedals to ask Mrs. to get into the car.

Xiangxiang lifted the skirt to get into the car, but after thinking about it, he retreated, turned around and looked at her calmly, waiting for Pang Qianyou to step forward.

"Let's take a step to speak, there are so many minions on the side, and I don't want to say something unpleasant." Shallow and cold, he pointed to the base of the city wall.

Xiangxiang motioned for her entourage to stay and followed, but saw Pang Qianyou looking her up and down, the unabashed disdain from the bottom of her eyes made Xiangxiang feel cold, but she endured it and waited to see what Qianyou was going to say.

But Qianyou just sneered on his face, and didn't mention that the emperor liked Xiangxiang, but his attitude at this moment was completely different from when he entered the palace, it seemed that Xiangxiang was standing in her unattainable place at that time, but at this moment it was low to the dust.

"You'd better remember what I said, treat him well, and don't do anything sorry for him, otherwise I won't let you go." Pang Qianyou specially shouted Xiangxiang, it was only for this sentence that she didn't want to explain the emperor's affairs, she felt that if Xiangxiang was really a bad character, it was not her fault, once Xiangxiang became a slut who could be a husband, she would definitely not be worthy of Qi Hui.

If this is the case, it is not that she has caused Xiangxiang to fall, she is just watching a joke. But she didn't want Qi Hui to lose face, so she threw out such a sentence when she had nothing to say.

Xiangxiang felt that she was simply inexplicable, what she did was to be humiliated in vain, she didn't have to be polite if she was polite enough, she turned around and left without saying a word, no matter what Pang Qianyou's expression was behind her, she didn't want to care.

On the way back, Xiangxiang untied her baggage, which was her old clothes, washed white fabric, a rare one that looked new, and it was also a rough material on her hands now. And now even the little clothes are of the best silk satin, she can't remember the feeling of the coarse cloth clothes wrapped in the skin before, and too many things have happened in the past six months.

After a brief glance, Xiangxiang re-tied up his burden, and then closed his eyes all the way to recuperate, sorting out the things about entering the palace in his mind, explaining to Qi Hui when he went back, and losing his temper at him to relieve his inner grievances, all of which were thought about. But thinking that she could see her husband, no matter how aggrieved she was, she could still smile, and when she got out of the carriage, she saw Qi Yan standing in front of the door waiting for her in the wind and snow, it really didn't matter what it was.

Qi Hui saw Xiangxiang get out of the car with a smile, and he was sure in his heart that during the hours when Xiangxiang entered the palace, there was no news from the palace, and no news was probably the best news, but not long after Xiangxiang left, Shifeng sent someone to inform him that Pang Qianyou had also entered the palace today. Qi Hui knew that Xiangxiang would not let Qianyou bully him casually, but Shifeng said that Qianyou had become mean and paranoid now, which made him a little uneasy.

Returning to the bedroom side by side, Qi Hui sent someone to inform Shen Yan, and said that today's homework was exempted, and Xiangxiang did not stop him, he took off his heavy clothes first, Qi Hui waited outside, and the maids came out for a long time, and when they entered the door again, Xiangxiang, who was wearing a regular shirt, looked much more comfortable.

She was spreading out an ordinary old burden on the table, and when she knew that Xianggong had come in, she said happily: "I finally have some things from the past, but I never expected that Jingshu would still keep my softness." You see, this is the dress I used to wear. ”

Xiangxiang shook off her skirt, a purse fell out of it, and it made a muffled sound on the carpet, there seemed to be something hard inside, she picked it up and opened it, and after looking at it for a long time, she suddenly remembered the old things in her childhood, and stuffed it to Qi Hui with a smile: "My mother asked me before, if there are any tokens on my body, I remember that there seems to be, but I just can't remember." It turned out to be this, this is what I stuffed in swaddling clothes when I was picked up by the class master. ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help frowning again, turned around and flipped through the other clothes in the baggage, and sighed: "Sure enough, there are still Jingshu's clothes here, probably who made a mistake by touching the baggage." She pointed to the wooden sign that Qi Hui was looking at and said, "I gave this to Jingshu when I was a child, and I thought she really cut off contact with me and came to return it to me." ”

Qi Hui looked at the wooden plaque carefully, there was no inscription on the wooden plaque, but there were strange patterns, he couldn't tell what this painting was, it was very novel.

Xiangxiang came up and got into his arms directly, touched the wooden plaque and said with a smile: "Look at what it is, maybe I am also a child with a background." ”

But Qi Hui asked: "Have you been wronged in the palace?" ”
