An Ronghua supervised the beauties alone in the Splendid Palace, and without Xia Huaijin by his side, his heart became more and more empty.

"Aren't you coming back today?"

An Ronghua originally wanted to send a palace person back to Shattered Moon Xuan to have a look, but in the end, he went back in person. As soon as An Ronghua was admitted to the hospital, he saw the back of Xia Huaijin who was suspected to be going into his room.

"It's back!"

An Ronghua immediately ran forward quickly, and Xia Huaijin was about to put down Yipinju's crisp box in the hall, but hesitated.

"I thought that you would have to accompany the princess in the mansion for a few more days, and you wouldn't come back so soon!" An Ronghua stood at the door, and his sour tone couldn't hide his joy.

Xia Huaijin turned around in shock, hid his hands behind him, and was confused for a while.

"Why don't you inspect the beauties in the Splendid Palace at this time?" Xia Huaijin was nervous.

An Ronghua saw through it at a glance, and frowned to express his suspicion to Xia Huaijin. Why did he run to his room when he came back, and what was hidden in his hands?

"What's hiding behind you?" An Ronghua rushed towards Xia Huaijin, he was alert to dodge, but it made An Ronghua even more curious, and made a big move, "Queen Mother!"

Xia Huaijin was deceived for a while, turned around and contributed her back to An Ronghua, and the crisp box in her hand became her bag.

"Yipinju's pastry!" An Ronghua was surprised, "How do you know I like to eat this?"

An Ronghua didn't even remember expressing his love for Yipinju pastry, but it made Xia Huaijin, who cared about it but regretted it, have a step down.

"When I returned to the palace today, Liang'er asked Xiang Gu to go to Yipinju to buy this kind of pastry, and he said that he would bring you a copy by the way. Xia Huaijin shirked his responsibilities seriously.

"Xiao Liang'er really has a heart, he still thinks about me!" An Ronghua took it seriously, and couldn't wait to open the crisp box, and tasted the box in one bite, full of satisfaction.

Xia Huaijin's nervousness was swept away, and seeing An Ronghua eating happily, he unconsciously showed a happy smile.

"That's fine. ”

An Ronghua naturally wouldn't enjoy the delicious food alone, so he picked up a bite of crisp and handed it to Xia Huaijin.

"You can taste it too, it's really delicious!"

Faced with An Ronghua's delicious temptation, Xia Huaijin's originally closed lips slowly opened, but unexpectedly, An Ronghua deliberately teased him and stuffed the snack sent to his mouth into his mouth again.

An Ronghua smiled silently, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and his eyes flowed.

Xia Huaijin looked indifferent after being teased, he took one and tasted it, he couldn't tell the delicious taste on the tip of his tongue, he was no longer greedy, but the happiness infected by An Ronghua came spontaneously.

"This is given to me by Xiao Liang'er, how can you steal it!"

An Ronghua was playful, as if he was about to run away when he picked up the crisp box, but Xia Huaijin grabbed the door frame and blocked An Ronghua between his arms.

An Ronghua pursed her lips nervously between her heads, Xia Huaijin aroused her heart, and her shyness was as good as before.

"This king won't rob you of ......," Xia Huaijin said helplessly.

An Ronghua took the opportunity to stuff a mouthful of crisp into Xia Huaijin's mouth and blocked his mouth.

"I want you to eat!" An Ronghua said willfully.

Xia Huaijin sighed obviously, turned to leave, rubbed his thumb and tasted the crumbs on the corners of his mouth, as if there was a subtle feeling, which made him helpless but willing.

In the Splendid Palace, Xie Jinshu's mind was full of what An Ronghua said to her, which made her whole person confused.

"She must have done it on purpose, she was afraid that I would settle accounts after I was elected, so she deliberately said those words to me so that I could give up on my own, it must be so!" Xie Jinshu tried to convince herself, but it was still not effective, she secretly ran out of the Splendid Palace anyway, and she had to go to see the emperor.

Xia Bingwen learned that Xie Jinshu was crying and asking to see him, it stands to reason that the two should not meet in private at this time, so as not to breed rumors, but after all, the two are cousins, and they care about Xie Jinshu's feelings, Xia Bingwen still met Xie Jinshu.

"Cousin!" Xie Jinshu cried and rushed into Xia Bingwen's dormitory.

"What's wrong with my cousin, but what grievances have you suffered?" Xia Bingwen has always been kind to people, and he cherishes his cousin even more.

"Someone bullied me, it's that valley girl, who has targeted me since I entered the palace, and today she said some strange things to me, which makes me feel so uncomfortable!" Xie Jinshu cried.

"Sure enough, something is wrong with this valley girl, even the emperor's cousin dares to bully!" Xiao Chengzi said subjectively on the side.

"Gu Nu I have seen it, although she seems to be strong, she is definitely not a nonsense person. ”

"She's talking nonsense!"

"What did she say to you, tell me. Xia Bingwen understood Xie Jinshu's emotions.

"She said that my cousin would never choose me to be the queen, she said that I only know that I am arrogant, brutal and willful, without any merits, and I am not worthy of the world at all!"

Xia Bingwen listened carefully to what Xie Jinshu said, and Gu Nu also spoke bluntly to him face to face. As for the election, Xia Bingwen really did not finally consider Xie Jinshu, in his mind, he only regarded her as a cousin.

"She's just straight-mouthed, not malicious. ”

Xia Bingwen's words to defend Gu Nu surprised Xiao Chengzi, and Xie Jinshu was even more dissatisfied with this.

"Then can my cousin promise me that he must choose me as the queen, and I don't want to wear such a heavy phoenix dress, I don't want to live in the palace forever, I don't want to see my cousin for ten days and a half months, I don't want to ...... yet"

Xia Bingwen can tolerate his cousin's willfulness, but as the emperor, it is impossible for him to flout the palace rules for a woman. He thinks that Gu Nu's evaluation of Xie Jinshu is objective, and she really is not the choice for the future.

"Jinshu, I am your cousin, and I will tolerate your willfulness, but I am also the king of a country, the family has family rules, the country has national laws, and I cannot promise what you ask for, etc. I think what Gu Nu said is true, you don't deserve to be a queen, but you will always be my beloved cousin. Xia Bingwen said bluntly to his face.

"What do you mean, cousin, you won't choose me?"

"Yes, I didn't think about you from the beginning, and in my mind, you can only be a cousin. Xia Bingliang said frankly.

"I see. Xie Jinshu suddenly realized.

"Jinshu, a woman's lifelong happiness does not lie in whether she can marry a man with a noble status, but whether this man can give her a lifetime of love and care. Xia Bingwen explained attentively.

Xie Jinshu's mood is still complicated, but he is no longer entangled in the idea of being deceived by Gu Nu. Xia Bingwen instructed Xiao Chengzi to personally send her back to the Splendid Palace, and asked the palace people not to say anything about tonight.

But Aunt Ci had already told Xia Huaijin and An Ronghua about Xie Jinshu's departure from the Splendid Palace without authorization. But Xie Jinshu returned to the Splendid Palace safe and sound under the escort of Xiao Chengzi.

"Xie Jiali was in a state of mind when she came back, but Xiao Chengzi's father-in-law instructed that the emperor had an order that no one else should know about this matter. Aunt Ci said.

"She should have gone to the emperor, a wayward girl!" An Ronghua looked like an elder, and asked again, "Do the other beauties in the Splendid Palace know about this?"

"No, the slave only reported to the prince and the valley girl in private after learning about it. ”

"In this case, this matter should be regarded as if it never happened, Aunt Ci, you go back, and pay more attention to Jinshu. An Ronghua commanded.

Xia Huaijin just listened, although he was the host of the post-election ceremony, but now it seems that he is giving Gu Nu a hand and acting as a foil.

"You are different from this Xie Jiali, you are demanding on the surface, but you have a ...... in private" Xia Huaijin could not describe this subtle feeling, An Ronghua excused herself easily, "She is the niece of the Queen Mother, I naturally take care of her, if something goes wrong, do you say that the Queen Mother will take me under the knife or blame you?"

"The Queen Mother is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong and uses public affairs for personal gain. Xia Huaijin spoke for him.

"I think so, not only that, but she is also willful, I don't know the severity, she runs away from home, and she is ......disrespectful to the elderly" An Ronghua said more and more openly, but Xia Huaijin really couldn't listen to anyone slandering her, "Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense again, if you don't wait for the queen mother to come back, this king will punish you for this tongue on her behalf!"

An Ronghua silently shut up, blaming her and defending her, this feeling is indescribable.

"If I don't say it, the Queen Mother won't blame me!" An Ronghua became sad again, "I won't be as fierce as you." ”

"Since the Queen Mother treats you leniently and kindly, you should be grateful to Dade, and you dare to joke nonsense, do you know that words will also be a sharp sword, hurting people invisibly. Xia Huaijin said in a good voice.

"Well, okay, I see. An Ronghua nodded vigorously.

"If only you knew what you had wronged. "Xia Huaijin is clearly very tolerant of Gu Nu.

"The Queen Mother, her old man is really very good to me, if I tell her my affection for the prince, she may ......," An Ronghua pretended to look forward to.

"No!" Xia Huaijin hurriedly stopped, "You can't talk nonsense about these things to the Queen Mother." ”

"Then the prince went and said, please give me to you the queen mother!" An Ronghua reversed direction again.

"This king doesn't. Xia Huaijin refused without hesitation.

"Then the prince doesn't allow me to say it, and you don't say it yourself, what if the queen mother wants to give me to someone else's family one day?"

Xia Huaijin took a quick breath, but he didn't know how to answer, he never thought that if he didn't accept Gu Nu, she would marry someone else sooner or later, but her question actually stumped him.

"The Queen Mother has her own decisions, and this King is not qualified to interfere. Xia Huaijin replied thoughtfully.

"Then if the Queen Mother has to give me to you, will you accept me with peace of mind?" An Ronghua asked.

Xia Huaijin never wanted what Gu Nu said to happen, the Holy Ancestor could give him a marriage princess, but she must not push other women to him.

"Nope. Xia Huaijin was indifferent and resolute.

"Yes, how could I accept that the arrangement was given to you, even the Queen Mother would not want to arrange my life! How could I marry an old man like you who has a family, a concubine, and is old, and his sons are about the same age as me!"

An Ronghua suddenly turned his face, and the nonsense of self-denial made Xia Huaijin unexpected, and he was stunned in place.

It is she who hides "I have a heart for Jin" in the poem, she is the one who brainwashed Xia Bingliang to accept her, and she is also the one who confesses to Xia Huaijin's madness. At this moment, she vetoed everything before this and belittled Xia Huaijin to nothing.
