Chapter 1309: Distressed
Thinking of this, Concubine Ming was relieved, and on the other side, Xiao Qi broke into the imperial study crying, but the inner servant who was guarding outside the hall was taken aback, and thought that the little princess had been bullied, and hurriedly passed the words to Lou Xiao, who was reviewing the folds in the palace, and heard the news that Xiao Qi was crying, Lou Xiao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked people to bring him closer.
Xiao Qi cried so red and swollen that he threw himself into his arms when he saw Lou Xiao, which made Lou Xiao even more distressed, "My little ancestor, who bullied you, why did you cry like this." β
Xiao Qi raised his head from his arms and looked at him with displeasure, "It's you, Father!" β
Lou Xiao inexplicably straightened her a little, "What's wrong with me?" β
"Did my father promise to pass Xiao Qi to the queen?"
Lou Xiao's face froze, last night Concubine Ming and he fell into the queen's palace to discuss this matter, he thought about it simply at first, after all, after the queen is a country, with her to Xiao Qi as a mother in the future, Xiao Qi's identity will only be more noble, who knows that Concubine Ming, who has always been timid and afraid of things, suddenly became angry this time, and refused to agree to anything, last night was naturally unhappy, Xiao Qi was not in the palace, he was worried for a long time, fortunately, the eldest princess wrote to say that Xiao Qi went to find the clouds and was shocked, and he was relieved.
At this time, Xiao Qi should not have appeared in the palace, this matter has not yet been decided, she hopes that Xiao Qi will stay in the Hou Mansion first, but since she came to ask him, it is difficult to avoid it.
He sighed and said, "The queen mother is not in good health, I hope you can accompany her more." β
"It's not difficult to let Xiao Qi accompany her, so why do she have to pass Xiao Qi over? Didn't my father doubt it? Xiao Qi frowned, obviously she still listened to what Yun Jinglan said to the eldest princess.
Lou Xiao couldn't help frowning when he heard her say this, he had always hoped that Xiao Qi could live a simple and happy life, but now that she asked such a thing, obviously her mind was not as pure as before, what made her become what she is now? Did he really do something wrong this time?
"Xiao Qi, why do you think so? The queen just wants you to spend more time with her, and if you can be her child, it will be better for you in the future, isn't that good? β
"Not good, not good, not good!" She shook her head vigorously, "For Xiao Qi, the mother concubine is the best, Xiao Qi doesn't need anyone else to be Xiao Qi's mother, doesn't the father understand that for Xiao Qi, power, fame and fortune are not as important as his own biological mother at all?" What if the father put himself in Xiao Qi's position and think about it? β
Lou Xiao was a little ashamed to say this, he actually ignored the preciousness of family affection in this matter, whether Xiao Qi is the daughter of the queen or the daughter of Concubine Ming, there is no difference to him Lou Xiao, but what if Xiao Qi is passed on to his brother Wang? He didn't have to think about it to refuse.
In the end, he was impulsive in this matter, because he felt guilty about Queen Wang in his heart, because when he heard her mention Jialian, the defense line in his heart collapsed, but how unfair was this to Xiao Qi and Concubine Ming? He couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Qi is right, it's my father...... Impulsive. β
Xiao Qi nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that my father knows his mistake, and then I won't be allowed to do this anymore." In the end, she couldn't help but play a little tricky.
Lou Xiao agreed to her here, but how to say it on the other side of Queen Wang, thinking of this, he had a headache, in short, let's appease Xiao Qi first.
Picked up Xiao Qi and put it aside, he got up and went to the inner hall to take out a small slingshot, Xiao Qi looked at him with surprise on his face, "Father, what is this?" Saying that, he was still a little excited, Lou Xiao looked at her mysteriously, "This is my father's treasure when he was a child, and the little princess who saw me was so sad, so I reluctantly gave these things to you, don't tell others." β
Xiao Qi is still easy to deceive in the end, hearing him say this, he immediately followed him mysteriously, and played with the slingshot as a treasure in his hand for a long time, Lou Xiao sat on the side and looked at her, and waited until a smile appeared on her face again This is relieved, Xiao Qi took the slingshot and left happily.
Yun Jinglan couldn't ask a reason from Concubine Ming, so she left temporarily, but when she left, she still had a trace of doubt and worry on her face, this Concubine Ming seemed to be hiding something from her, the two were already using each other, if there was no interest between the two, they would naturally not be helping each other.
Isn't that what she does to the queen and the king?
Yun Jinglan is also very happy, Xiao Qi is at least not like Concubine Ming, it seems that that person doesn't like this kind of self, so he hopes that Xiao Qi can be simple and pure, they protect Xiao Qi too well, so now that something like this has happened, she is more likely to collapse, blind protection is not omnipotent, she may also let Xiao Qi grow up by herself.
Yun Jinglan returned to the side hall full of doubts, Xiao Qi came back early, seeing that she was not there, she went to pull Lu Xiaoyuan and showed the slingshot she got, Lu Xiaoyuan grew up in the folk after all, she has seen a lot of these gadgets, and her father also took her to play with her when she was a child, but seeing Xiao Qi so novel and fun, she had to pretend that she didn't know anything to accompany her to perform.
Yun Jinglan slowly entered, and saw that Xiao Qi was picking up stones and beating leaves, Lu Xiaoyuan stood up and patted her to encourage her to play well, this picture still looks quite warm and harmonious, she smiled, stretched out her hand and made a silent gesture towards Ah Xian, just stood quietly behind her and watched them fall into contemplation, Lu Xiaoyuan is obviously not a few years older than Xiao Qi, but many things are much more than Xiao Qi, which is probably caused by the growth process of the two, Xiao Qi seems a little naΓ―ve now.
She didn't shy away from saying those words to the eldest princess, in order to let Xiao Qi understand that the queen was not as good as she imagined, and there were many things in this world that could not be just looked at the surface.
She went to Lou Xiao and didn't know what this person said to Xiao Qi, but looking at her now, her mood seemed to be much better, about the effect of this slingshot?
She stood quietly for a long time, but Lu Xiaoyuan unintentionally turned her head and saw her.
