The first emperor was still there, and the harem was also full of disputes at that time, and the queen mother was just a quiet concubine at the end of the four concubines, and she didn't have much holy grace. The first emperor favored Mu Guifei, and he completely ignored the harem battle, and only thought about giving birth to a prince with Mu Guifei in order to inherit the unification. The middle palace is vacant, the concubines of the six palaces are constantly fighting, Mu Guifei was pregnant with a dragon son for a year, but it was inexplicably drained, the first emperor was furious and executed many people, it is not an exaggeration to say that the harem is full of blood.

During that time, except for Mu Guifei's Fanghua Palace, the rest of the places were like cold palaces. Some of the concubines in the harem were heartbroken and almost insane; Others wait quietly and seek opportunities.

Of course, the queen mother is the latter, in the harem at that time, Concubine Jing and Concubine Xi and Concubine Li Guifei were good friends, and the three of them were closed in the palace when they encountered problems, and occasionally took a few children to come and go, and did not make other plans.

The fifth prince was born by the Queen Mother, the sixth prince was born by Concubine Xi, Princess He'an was born by Concubine Li Guifei, and the three children also went to school together since childhood. The school is full of royal grandchildren, and of course, there are often some children of important ministers who come in to listen to the lectures.

Duguchen and Bu Yao entered the school in this way, and Xuanyuan Zili, who they knew, of course, Situ Ning was.

A group of children are young, but they also know how to be close to each other, the eldest prince's biological mother died early, and he was cared for by the first emperor, so he was naturally arrogant, and he didn't like to take care of people, but the third prince was benevolent, and he was close to Xuanyuan Zili and others. Not many children of the royal family were born, and even fewer grew up alive, so even if Xuanyuan Chongyu was the sixth prince, there were only three brothers he could see.

Situ Ning was also gentle and gentle when she was a child, she looked like a little lotus flower, and she liked to play with Xuanyuan Zili the most. The relationship between Bu Yao and Duguchen and Xuanyuan Zili is also very familiar, and they often fight together. Seeing that Situ Ning had been many times, Duguchen inevitably joked: "Miss Situ may be able to marry Zili in the future." ”

Xuanyuan Zi was expressionless, and Situ Ning was blushing.

At that time, Bu Yao liked to play swordsman's games with wooden swords, and they also practiced martial arts, and they all liked to have nothing to do, so their temperament was naturally a lot more cheerful. For some reason, this Miss Situ, who everyone praises, doesn't look too much at it, and always feels that it is too delicate to achieve great things.

In fact, this is Bu Yao's prejudice, women are originally delicate and beautiful, and if it becomes a big thing, it is a man's business.

In short, no matter what, Bu Yao didn't like to see Situ Ning very much. But everywhere this young lady followed them, and it was helpless to look up and not look down. Bu Yao thought about slowly accepting her.

However, one day, Bu Yao found Situ Ning walking out from the direction of Concubine Jing's palace.

He was just passing by that day, but he saw that little Situ Ning still had his usual delicate expression on his face, and his eyes were very calm and calm, like an adult. She was followed by Aunt Peony, who seemed to have sent her out. When they parted, they also saluted: "Miss Situ has gone all the way." ”

Bu Yao was a little strange, what could Situ Ning do when he went to Xuanyuan Zili's mother?

Seeing him in a blink of an eye, Situ Ning was so frightened that he took a step back, then his face sank, and he said, "You are following me?" ”

Bu Yao frowned, and said in a very bad tone: "Who has nothing to do with you, I'm just passing by." Miss Situ, since you came out of this palace, then the five princes can be inside? ”

Situ Ning was stunned, then retracted his expression, and said with a smile: "I came to find him, but unfortunately I am not here, why don't we go to other places to see?" ”

"No, I'll do it myself." Bu Yao looked at the rapidly changing face of the person in front of him, felt slightly uncomfortable, and turned to leave. He couldn't force himself to have a good impression of this Miss Situ, and he always felt that there was a lack of righteousness, was it his delusion?

Thinking all the way to the school, seeing Xuanyuan Zili standing under the tree and talking to the third prince, Bu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, maybe he was thinking too much, Situ Ning might really go to find the fifth prince, besides, such a child, what conspiracy can there be?

So he didn't think about this matter anymore, and still played with Duguchen every day, and talked to Xuanyuan Zili from the stuffy gourd.

Summer is coming, and there are a few naughty children in the river pond in the palace who like to jump in and play in the water. On that day, Taifu fell ill and temporarily suspended the class, and a group of children ran to find a cool place. Xuanyuan Linglan took them to play next to the pond in front of Concubine Li's palace, where many trees were planted, and it was very cool.

Seeing that there was no one around in the hot weather, Duguchen proposed to play a water fight. The two girls naturally refused, so only Bu Yao and him had the third, fifth and sixth princes.

Duguchen took the lead in jumping into the water and swam happily. The water in this pool is not too deep, and it is estimated that it will only be just without a roof, and they can all swim, so it will be fine.

Bu Yao jumped down, and the two princes hesitated for a moment, and when they saw that they were really having a good time, they also jumped down.

Only Xuanyuan refused to move.

Situ Ning watched timidly beside him, leaned over and asked Xuanyuan Zili: "Don't the five princes like to play in the water?" ”

Xuanyuan Zili had a cold face and said, "It's not a formality, I just look at it, I don't want to go down." ”

Princess He'an raised her eyebrows, snorted coquettishly and said, "Does the fifth brother disdain to play or are you afraid that you can't play with them?" The three princes have all gone down, what more system do you need? ”

Xuanyuan Zili frowned and said nothing, just watching the four people in the pool having a good time, splashing and shining in the sun. There are cicadas all around, and there is the laughter of these people, and I feel a little happy to watch.

However, unguardedly, his body was pushed hard. Xuanyuan Zili's face changed, and he didn't even have time to react before he fell into the pool. Seeing this, a few people who were playing in the water applauded, but when they saw that it was Xuanyuan Linglan standing on the shore with a smile on her face, she clapped her hands and said, "The fifth emperor brother refuses to play for the sake of face, then I will help you." ”

Duguchen and the others laughed heartlessly, and kept splashing water on the place where Xuanyuan Zili fell. Situ Ning, who was standing on the shore, looked serious, and saw that there was no shadow of Xuanyuan Zili on the water for half a day, hesitated, and then jumped into the pool.

"Ah, Sister Situ!" Xuanyuan Linglan screamed and laughed even more happily: "Sure enough, she is the one who will be the imperial concubine in the future, such a life and death, Fifth Emperor Brother, can you be moved?" ”

There was no response, and Duguchen and the others slowly quieted down. The third prince looked at it for a while, his face changed, and he said, "It's not good, is it possible that the fifth emperor brother can't know water?" ”

Bu Yao was startled, and hurriedly swam in the direction where Xuanyuan Zi left, and the third prince and the fifth prince also hurried over to see the situation. After looking for a while, I heard the sound of someone floating out of the water.

When everyone surfaced, they saw Situ Ning struggling to hold Xuanyuan Zili, and said urgently: "Fifth prince, are you okay?" ”

Xuanyuan Zili coughed a few times, almost fainted, his face was even more ugly, and he didn't care who was in front of him, he yelled directly: "Get out!" ”

Situ Ning's eyes were red, he bit his lip and was very aggrieved, the third prince hurriedly swam over, picked up Xuanyuan Zili, and sent him ashore, and then several people also went ashore.

Xuanyuan Zili was soaking wet, a few strands of black hair were on his forehead, and the whole person looked gloomy and tight. Xuanyuan Linglan was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, and Duguchen, Bu Yao and the others were also silent for a while.

"Are you alright?" The third prince looked at Xuanyuan Zili with some concern.

After sitting for a while, Xuanyuan Zili shook his head with a dark face, looked at Situ Ning, who was still in the water, and said: "I haven't called for help, and it has nothing to do with you when I die, I haven't reached the point where I need a woman to save me." Miss Situ, it's time to put your abacus away! ”

Situ Ning listened stunned, the water droplets in his eyes fell down one by one, and he only muttered: "You misunderstood..."

Xuanyuan Linglan couldn't stand it anymore, and stretched out her hand towards Situ Ning in the water, and said, "Sister Situ will come up first." Brother Huang, you are too, Sister Situ is kind enough to save you, is this kind of treatment? ”

"Who wants her to save it?" Xuanyuan Zili got up angrily and left without looking back. Several people hurriedly chased after them, leaving only Xuanyuan Linglan and Situ Ning still in place.

Back in Concubine Jing's palace, Xuanyuan Zili frightened Aunt Peony with a soaked appearance, and hurriedly changed her clothes and bathed, this weather, if it is typhoid, it will be troublesome.

Concubine Jing also asked him a little annoyed what was going on, and Xuanyuan Zili was silent for a while, and then said that he had accidentally fallen into the pond. Concubine Jing's face turned pale with fright, and she was relieved to look at him inside and out. Yes, indeed, because Xuanyuan Zi can't swim from Ben.

However, this master hates to be saved, especially women. And Situ Ning's person... Xuanyuan Zili was silent.

After bathing, he fell asleep, and Xuanyuan Zili didn't think much about it, but he didn't know that He'an hurriedly came to him the next day, saying that Situ Ning was very sick and was about to die.

Xuanyuan Zili was slightly startled, and then heard the voice of his father blaming his mother, saying that he had injured the daughter of an important minister of the court, and if Situ Ning died, they would bear all the responsibility.

Concubine Jing didn't sleep all night, and at lunchtime, she directly told Xuanyuan Zili that he had to be responsible for his actions.

Well, responsible. Situ Ning fell into the root of the cold disease, and it was all because of him.

Bu Yao and Duguchen didn't know what was going on, so they heard that Xuanyuan Zili had rushed to Situ Mansion and took care of Situ Ning until she was well.

After that, Xuanyuan Zili's attitude towards Situ Ning also took a 180-degree turn, and he was spoiled beyond the imagination of their group. Duguchen even asked him countless times if Xuanyuan Zili had been washed by water.

At first, they all thought that the fifth prince was very good to Situ Ning because of guilt, but when Bu Yao looked at it, he always felt that something was wrong. The look in the eyes of the five princes looked very profound, and it didn't look like simple guilt, let alone real love.

So what is it? He was a kid at the time, and he didn't understand it. I only saw that Xuanyuan Zili was getting better and better to Situ Ning, and even made a vow in the future that if he ascended the throne, he would make her his queen.
