After less than half a cup of tea, the palace man walked out respectfully and said, "Niangniang has a will, please ask the second princess to be in the main hall for a while, and Niangniang will arrive soon." ”

Under the guidance of the people of the palace, He Xuan passed through the various flowers and plants under the corridor and arrived at the main hall of Ningxiang Palace.

Ningxiang Palace is a little remote among the various palaces in the harem, but it is also particularly elegant because of the sparse population. Every spring and summer, the palace is full of colorful flowers, and it is a good place for birds to sing and flowers. The hall is full of crystal clear jade lamps, surrounded by curtains made of pearls, gilded pillar bases.

He Xuan only felt that the moment she stepped into the temple door, there was a pungent and rich fragrance permeating the main hall, and she sat on the side and hid her face unconsciously. She didn't care about admiring the richly decorated hall, she was very worried in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face, but she rehearsed the scene after seeing Bi Yue in her mind.

As if waiting for a long time, the inside of the sleeve tightly held in Hexuan's hand was soaked, and only then did he see a woman with a graceful figure, surrounded by several palace maids, walking out of the inner room step by step, with a rich and luxurious pearl on her head.

The woman reclined on the golden silk soft pillow on the upper seat, her fingers gently pulled the shawl on her body, her eyes glanced at Hexuan, and said, "Yo, the second princess is a rare guest, what is the matter with finding this palace?" ”

Listening to Bi Yue's yin and yang strange voice, He Xuan understood in her heart that the last time she pleaded for Dongfang Xiu, she had angered the favored Yue Concubine in front of her. However, seeing that Bi Yue's life was safe at this moment, he let go of his hanging heart a lot.

She just had to think of a way to take the plate of rose shortbread away.

"Not long after Niangniang entered the palace, He Xuan and Niangniang only had a few faces, and their feelings were unfamiliar. Niangniang took care of her father and worked hard, and as a princess, she should come to visit. He Xuan lowered his head slightly, and his voice was gentle and modest.

These words, of course, are not from the heart. Although He Xuan doesn't like to be pretentious, she doesn't know how to pretend. Not only does she know, but she is even very good at it, but she just disdains to be playful.

When Bi Yue heard this, she stared at and watched with playfulness in her eyes for a few seconds before she said faintly: "Yes, it's rare for a princess to have such filial piety." She rolled her eyes, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and said with a smile: "In that case, then the princess will come and pay a visit!" ”

He Xuan quietly clenched his back molars, and secretly said in his heart that this sixteen-year-old Bi Yue was really arrogant, and he actually looked down on her, a favored princess. She wanted to walk away proudly, but when she thought of the plate of rose shortbread, she had to hold back.

So, she got up slowly, walked to the middle of the main hall, and bowed respectfully. 【1】

Bi Yue couldn't help but chuckle a few times, the smile on her face became even brighter, and she mocked: "Does the princess only bow instead of bowing?" ”

This Bi Yue is really an inch! He Xuan was slightly angry in his heart, his eyes were lowered, and he was hesitating how to advance or retreat.

"Hehe, second princess, this palace is joking with you!" Bi Yue looked at He Xuan with a smile, her eyes flowed, and she said, "The second princess has a noble status, and it is rare to be willing to come to meet my third-grade mother." ”

She raised her head and looked at Bi Yue, she couldn't tell whether she was angry or happy, but Bi Yue's intention to have fun with her was obvious. She immediately put on a smiling face and said: "It turns out that Concubine Yue Niangniang loves to laugh so much and has such an interesting temperament, no wonder the queen mother also admires Niangniang so much, and gave her her favorite rose shortbread." ”

The smile on Bi Yue's face seemed to freeze for a moment when she heard Empress Zhao, but it immediately recovered, and said: "This palace has no relatives in this big week, and Empress Zhao treats this palace like a sister, which is really a blessing for this palace." ”

He Xuan smiled more modestly, and asked knowingly, "I wonder if Niangniang ate the shortbread?" ”

Bi Yue squinted her eyes, the tulle on her bandeau rose and fell with her breathing, she looked at it for a long time, and said an intriguing sentence: "The second princess came to Ningxiang Palace to come to the palace to eat the rose shortbread rewarded by Empress Zhao?" ”

"No, no, the mother misunderstood. He Xuan just heard that the rose shortbread was a secret recipe specially made for the queen mother in the imperial dining room, and he heard that it was sweet and delicious, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed, so he was curious. While He Xuan was explaining, he didn't forget to find a way to get Bi Yue to bring out the plate of things.

"I see! I thought ... Bi Yue deliberately wanted to speak and stopped, staring at He Xuan's eyes like a torch, and said: "Since the second princess is so curious, let's bring it up and let the princess feast on it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the palace maid beside Bi Yue immediately reacted and turned around and went to the back.

After the palace maid took it out, Bi Yue made a look, and the palace maid hurriedly knelt in front of He Xuan, holding the exquisite glass tray high with both hands, and said softly: "Second princess, please use it." ”

After waiting for so long, and Xuan's eyelashes trembled, staring at the plate of life-threatening things in front of him.

She was about to stretch out her hand, but she felt Bi Yue's compelling gaze cast on her.

Thinking about it to no avail, He Xuan turned his head sideways, and complimented Bi Yue with a smile: "This rose shortbread has arrived in the fragrant palace of Niangniang, but it can't smell the fragrance of flowers at all." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a "pop", and the moment He Xuan's hand slipped down, the glass tray shattered on the ground, several delicate rose shortbreads rolled down in response, and the cake dregs fell to the ground.

"Ah, it's not good to be with Xuan, and I knocked over the queen mother's mind without leaving a word." He Xuan pretended to be sorry on his face, and a trace of joy crept into his heart, and said respectfully.

If Bi Yue's expression just now was very intriguing, then at this moment, it added a little surprise.

There was silence in the room, and even the sound of his heartbeat could be heard, and he waited a little anxiously.

Finally, Bi Yue straightened the slippery shawl casually and said, "It doesn't matter, Empress Zhao will definitely not blame you." ”

Several palace maids knelt in front of He Xuan to clean up the mess on the ground, and He Xuan achieved his goal, and Bi Yue had nothing to say, so he said: "Thank you Niangniang for your understanding, He Xuan disturbed Niangniang's Yaxing today, and he will make amends another day." ”

As he spoke, He Xuan slowly got up, intending to bow and leave.

With a smile on the corner of her eyebrows, Bi Yue stared at He Xuan's slightly flushed face, and said, "The second princess seems to have come to overturn Queen Zhao's good intentions on this trip, is she going to leave at this moment?" ”

He Xuan chuckled in his heart, could it be that Bi Yue saw through it? So with an embarrassed smile on his face, he said: "Niangniang said that it was not good to be with Xuan today, I originally wanted to meet Niangniang to talk, but it turned out... ”

"Hehe, second princess, you're very interesting." The corners of Bi Yue's mouth rose, and she said slowly, her tone was a little weird.

Hurriedly walked out of the Ning Xiang Palace, Bi Yue's yin and yang strange words were still echoing in He Xuan's mind for a long time, "Hehe, second princess, you are very interesting."

"Princess," Qing'er looked at no one around, and said with admiration in her tone: "It was really dangerous just now, as soon as the slave maid entered the Ning Xiang Palace, she was suppressed by the momentum of Concubine Yue. ”

He Xuan came back to his senses, thinking that Qing'er had been obediently following her just now and was not frightened, so he smiled and muttered to himself: "Yes, Concubine Yue is young and from a poor background, and she didn't see anything special when she first entered the palace, but now it seems that it is really not to be underestimated." ”

"When the princess just gently overturned the plate, the slave maid was startled, and thought about reaching out to help, but fortunately the slave and maid were not fast enough, otherwise it would ruin the princess's big thing." Qing'er vividly described the scene at that time, the expression on Xuan's face, the expression on Concubine Yue's face, and even the expression of the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground at that time.

He Xuan listened to Qing'er's description, smiling, at such a pressing moment, she was able to observe so many details, and at this moment she could tell it with a smile, she said in her heart that this girl is really lively and cute.

Walking and walking, she was about to reach the gate of Zhaohua Palace, and Qing'er said cautiously: "Princess, Ruolan's matter... ”

"Ruolan's matter, I will go back to the palace to ask in person why she wants to poison Empress Zhao by any means, and why she wants to gamble with the lives of my Zhaohua Palace." When He Xuan heard the word "Ruolan", he couldn't hide the anger in his heart, and his tone began to harden.

"Although the slave doesn't know why Ruolan is like this, the slave always feels that Ruolan is not a bad person." Qing'er said in a very soft voice, shook her head again, and said, "But no matter what, the princess is so good to her, she shouldn't have made such a big mistake." ”

"Well, she is usually a thoughtful person, smart, and knowledgeable, I treat her well, she really makes me cold." There was a kind of coldness in He Xuan's tone, the world was hot and cold, and the people's hearts were sinister, she didn't expect it to happen to a little palace maid beside her.

"The princess has the grace of knowing her, and she has been talking to me about the princess's goodness for a long time, and I hope that the princess will not be too angry for a while, so as not to hurt her body." Qing'er said cautiously as she helped He Xuan into the gate of Zhaohua Palace.

"Hmph, she also knows that she is not a complete white-eyed wolf. Don't worry, I sent someone to watch her, I just don't want her to kill herself. He Xuan saw that this always carefree pistachio Qing'er was worried about Ruolan's comfort at the moment, so he added.

"I see, it's still the princess who is careful!" Qing'er understood a little and sighed.

He Xuan walked back to his main hall and said to the palace people below: "She didn't look for a short time, did she?" ”

"Don't worry, the princess, the slaves and maids tied her up and put her in the firewood room, and stuffed her mouth into a quick weapon to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide!" One of the palace people below said with a smile on his face, his expression really disgusting.

"I see, you can bring her up." He Xuan didn't want to spend more time with this kind of palace person who fell into the well, so he only said lightly, lowered his head, and took a sip of the tea on the table.

After a while, that familiar figure appeared in front of He Xuan's eyes, Ruolan's thin body was really tied up with five flowers, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was full of tears.
