At this time, it is dark, it is the time when the streets of Lin'an are lively, the streets and alleys are full of lights, the people are crowded, there are many hawkers along the road, but the faces of pedestrians in the noise are all kinds of expressions.

I walked slowly with the flow of people, and my heart was in turmoil, just because there were too many things I couldn't figure out, such as the Three Emperor Sisters and Ying Liuyun harming me together, why is this? Win Liuyun won't mention it for the time being, but what about the Third Emperor Sister? I remember that I had never had a grudge against her, and why did she poison my horse in the hunting grounds, and was it really because my late mother was more favored, as she said?

But it wasn't caused by me, and besides, the mother concubine is no longer alive now, so why should they...

I only felt a faint feeling of suffocation in my chest, and I didn't want to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure by coincidence.

"Shen Xiao?"

Speaking of which, I haven't seen him in many days, so why is he here at this time?

I curiously approached the tall, well-dressed man, only to see him standing in front of a stall for a long time, and I didn't even notice it when I got closer, but what he was holding in his left and right hands was a woman's beaded hairpin ornament.

I looked at it for two points and felt that he seemed to be thinking about which side of the pearl hairpin was good-looking, so without thinking, I looked at the ugly side and said, "The right one is good-looking." ”

"Huh?"

Shen Xiao was obviously startled by the sudden sound, and then looked back and found that it was me standing behind him, probably feeling embarrassed, and suddenly hid Zhu Hai behind him.

"Princess, why are you here?"

I looked him up and down, and it was inevitable that there was some embarrassment on that peerless little face, but the hand holding the pearl hairpin was still very tightly hidden.

"What? Can't I come here? I smiled, my eyes deliberately looked behind him, and Shen Xiao quickly turned around and avoided when he saw this.

"I didn't mean that, I mean the princess... There's so many people here, you should bring a guard or something? ”

"Guards?" I was amused by his words, and reluctantly put on the shoulder, which was much taller than me, and said angrily, "Aren't you the princess's own guard?" But I couldn't see you, and I thought you were busy with official business, but I didn't expect it to be..."

As I spoke, I looked at the owner of the stall and continued, "It turned out that I came here for this fake public economy, what's the matter?" Is it to choose jewelry for the woman you like? ”

After I finished speaking, Shen Xiao's handsome face really quickly floated a trace of red clouds, and he waved his hand and hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, princess, you misunderstood, I came because the emperor sent me to send the gift list of the fifth princess and his relatives to the princess's mansion." ”

"A gift list for a kiss?"

In the gap between Shen Xiao's hand, I squinted my eyes, and then quickly grabbed the pair of shaking hands.

"A gift list for a kiss, so what is this?"

I broke open the beautiful hands with long knuckles, and the two beaded hairpins with fine mounting flowers on a gold background were impressively visible.

"Princess..."

Shen Xiao was stunned, and then put on the appearance of being bullied by me, like this, if he was a daughter, he could simply be described as crying.

"Cut, stingy, don't look at it." I pursed my lips, and finally reluctantly let go of his hand, and pointed to the ugly pearl hairpin on his right hand with a clear conscience, "Okay, I don't blame you, what... The right-hand side looks good. ”

"Do you really think so?"

Shen Xiao's eyes flashed with a strange light, and after looking at me for a while, I said weakly, "Well, I'm a woman, believe me right, the girl you like will definitely like it." ”

Nonsense, as long as the other party also likes you, you will be happy with whatever you give. Now just pray that God will bless that girl to like you too, Amitabha.

After listening to my words, Shen Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, looked at the two bead hairpins carefully with emotion, and said uncertainly for a while, "Is this really good-looking?" ”

Seeing that Shen Xiao was still suspiciously holding the two bead hairpins for comparison, I couldn't help but give him a big look, "I said you are a big man, can you not be such a mother-in-law?" ”

Hearing this, he blinked violently, probably thinking that there was something wrong with his eyes, and only then did he look at me, showing a smile that could fascinate people and say, "If you like it, it's fine." ”

I scoffed and nodded very "naturally".

It's just that while Shen Xiao paid for it, I secretly slandered in my heart, I like... I like to use a fart, but I just want to play tricks on you.

However, the more honest he became, the more I suddenly felt that it was a bit unreasonable to play tricks on a person with an incomplete IQ, if the girl he liked was angry with him because he gave him an ugly pearl hairpin... Then my sin will be great.

Thinking of this, I realized in my conscience that I was thinking of going back to the palace to get a good hairpin to make up for him, so Shen Xiao inserted the ugly pearl hairpin into my bun.

"Well, it's good."

"What... Not bad? I looked at Shen Xiao with a satisfied expression on his face, and said suspiciously, "The girl you like can't be me, right?" ”

A gentle smile rose in Shen Xiao's beautiful eyes, and his face was lined with his ink-like hair crown, coupled with a righteous and awe-inspiring heart armor, which was extremely dazzling at the moment.

And my very useless old face was hot, and I thought to myself... If he says it's me... What am I going to do?

After a long time, the smile in his eyes became lighter, and he said, "The princess has both knowledge and life-saving grace to me, Shen Xiao is willing to smear the princess in this life, and besides, the person who likes the princess, if you add or miss me, it won't be more, no less, right?" ”

"Huh?"

What does he mean by that? I don't quite understand it, but I guess it's probably a flattery like this princess's charm.

So I glanced at him indifferently, and fumbled to remove the ugly bead hairpin from the bun, and said very carefully, "I... Can you change the one on your left hand? ”

…

It is the night palm lamp of the palace.

I just returned to Huayin Palace, and I have been playing with the pearl hairpin that was not successfully replaced in the end, and I am thinking about everything in my heart.

When she came back, she first sent someone to prepare the bath soup, and when she came in, she saw that I had not taken off my cloak for a long time, thinking that I was afraid of the cold, so she moved the stove burning with spices closer.

"What is the princess thinking?" Tao Xin leaned closer, and was busy taking off the cloak on my body, and smiled meaningfully, "But are you thinking about Commander Shen?" ”

Commander Shen?

I was slightly stunned, withdrew my gaze from the bead hairpin, turned my head and said, "What are you talking about Commander Shen?" Shen Xiao, he became the commander? ”

"Yes, Shen Gongzi is amazing, princess, you may not know if you were locked up by the emperor, Shen Gongzi learned kung fu with the Praetorian Guard general in the palace a few days ago, and he is also talented, and he is really vigorous and resolute in learning kung fu, but later I heard that Shen Gongzi was transferred by the Praetorian Guard General to the palace gate, and by mistake saved the emperor's newly sealed Mrs. Jiang under the city tower, and was named the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard by the emperor."

"Mrs. Jiang?"

Who is this? I frowned, picked up the teacup and thought about it carefully, making sure that I had never heard of this title in my father's harem, and then slowly spoke, "Was there such a person in the palace before?"

"It's really not," Taoxin shook her head, her face a little reddened from the fire, and she looked a little reminiscing, and suddenly realized, "I heard the old lady in the palace mention two sentences before, saying that this Mrs. Jiang was originally the daughter of Jiang Shangshu, an official of the imperial court, and she was a new girl who entered the palace this year, and she happened to be two years older than the princess, but this woman was quite powerful, so that the emperor didn't know why, and he personally named her as his wife on the first day Jiang Cainu entered the palace." ”

"Really?"

I rolled my eyes, put down the teacup, and fixed my eyes on the jumping candle flame, "This harem has to enter newcomers every year, which batch of people has not squeezed their heads, and they have tried their best to win a place in the harem, this Jiang family has been awarded so easily, there must be something extraordinary." ”

"Yes, yes," Hearing me mention the extraordinary, Taoxin suddenly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I heard that this Jiang Cai girl's eyebrows are like green feathers, her muscles are like snow, her waist is like a bundle, her teeth are like shellfish, and she looks at it from afar, and she is as bright as the sun rising, but she is a big beauty!" ”

So exaggerated?

I looked back in surprise, glanced at the longing peach heart, and sneered, "Look at what you girl said is so ghostly, is it really so beautiful?" You must know that in the harem of my father, as far as the imperial city and as far as foreign countries, there is no shortage of this kind of rumored beauty. ”

"Having said that, but princess, do you know what everyone is spreading by word of mouth after Mrs. Jiang's speed as a concubine?"

Peach Heart mysteriously approached me, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around.

I don't think so, as far as those concubines and palace people in my father's palace and queen are the most beloved and capable of gossip, and it is rumored to the ears of the peach heart, it is probably some vain tongue pickling, I am really not very interested in those.

Therefore, seeing that I didn't ask any questions, Taoxin's side was anxious first, and hurriedly said, "Listen to the old lady in the Queen Mother's palace, this Mrs. Jiang's appearance is very similar to the princess, your biological mother, the concubine of the year." ”

My fingers twitched, and my gaze stared straight at Momo's face, which was becoming more and more overwhelmed.

What did she say? Who?

Mrs. Jiang is very much like my mother?

"Damn it! It's a slave who is lying in vain! Please, princess! ”

Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, Momoshin knelt at my feet with a solemn expression.

Seeing her look a little frightened, I clenched the cup in my hand and threw it on the ground, and immediately fell to pieces.

I don't mean to blame her, after all, in the final analysis, Taoxin is just a little palace maid, and these power tricks in the palace are not something she can control, and the culprit of the nonsense is not her, but what I hate most in my life is that people die and have to be taken out for recreation, as a stepping stone to climb up in the struggle for power and status.

This is something I will never tolerate, Jiang... I dared to use the name of my late mother to swagger through the market, and I thought I was prepared, but it was a pity that she touched the most untouchable scales of my worst.

Now, I'm going to meet this new Mrs. Jiang to see what kind of character she is.
