Concubine Xiao didn't say much when she saw this, she straightened up with Gong E's hand, and smiled: "The county lord is also a rare guest in the palace, since I saw it in front of the queen mother that day, I haven't seen the county lord again until today, and this concubine misses the county lord very much." ”

Ye Tanghua smiled slightly, noncommittal, just smiled: "It makes the concubine worry about it." ”

"Speaking of which, is it appropriate for the county lord to use the incense that day to give to the county lord?" Concubine Xiao's young smiling face still carried the innocence of a girl, and her words were full of the joy of a girl when she met her playmate, but the content of these words made Ye Tanghua's heart sink.

Ye Tanghua thought for a while and said with a smile: "The things given by the concubine master are treasured by the Qing merchants, so how can they use them without authorization?" The incense cakes are now in one place with the gifts of the king, and they have not been used. ”

"Actually, the incense cake is not interesting to keep, it is born to be burned, and the county lord does not have to be a pity, otherwise it will be put away, and the concubine wants to know what the county lord has to say about the incense." Concubine Xiao blinked, a little lost and begging between her eyebrows.

"Actually, Qing Shang doesn't know much about incense, but since the concubine owner has said so, Qing Shang can't refuse, so he will burn the incense when he goes home and give the concubine an answer." Ye Tanghua smiled lightly, trying to maintain her shock.

Is this Xiao Concubine's pregnancy real or false? Why did she keep mentioning those fragrant cakes? Why did you insist that she burn the incense? Did she really mix that incense herself? Was she framed, or was she simply ...... Ill-intentioned?

"Okay, it's not too early, Concubine Xiao is pregnant, let's go back and rest early, His Royal Highness will send the county lord of Qingshang out of the palace, and I won't accompany him." Qi Yu raised his head slightly towards Concubine Xiao and motioned for her to hurry back.

Concubine Xiao nodded, and smiled and bent her eyes: "Then I'll wait for the county lord to come to the palace next time to give me an answer, the county lord is easy to go." ”

She bowed slightly to Ye Tanghua, and Ye Tanghua also returned the salute, watching her slowly walk away with the support of Gong E.

"The county lord seems to like Concubine Xiao very much? After meeting so many people in the palace, it seems that the county lord is so close to people for the first time. Qi Yu looked at the smile on Ye Tanghua's face and couldn't help asking.

"What's the dislike, it's just that people don't offend me, I don't offend people. Speaking of which, listening to the tone of His Highness's conversation with Concubine Xiao, it seems to be very familiar? Ye Tanghua turned her head to look at Qi Yu, with doubts between her eyebrows.

Even if her status is not high, Concubine Xiao is a figure of Qi Yu's mother's generation after all, even if Qi Yu doesn't have to respect her like he respects the queen, it shouldn't be this attitude of half consultation and half order, right?

"How can Her Highness know her, but she is familiar with her father...... When the county lord asked this, didn't he know that Concubine Xiao's father was not from our Nanyan? Qi Yu was stunned, turned his head to look at Ye Tanghua, and there were doubts between his eyebrows.

"Concubine Xiao's father...... Isn't it our Nanyan people? Ye Tanghua blinked, always feeling that something in her mind was fleeting, but it was fleeting before she could catch it.

Qi Yu nodded: "This surname Xiao is not common in our Nanyan, the Xiao family is the descendant of Xiliao, and Xiao Concubine's father is a distant cousin of the Empress of Xiliao. Is the county lord really not impressed? Xiao Concubine's father, Xiao Chuge, is now a member of the Ministry of Rites. ”

When it came to Xiliao, Ye Tanghua finally reacted, why did she have such a big reaction.

About three years later, the nomadic country Xiliao located in the northwest side of Nanyan launched a war against Nanyan, I don't know why Nanyan was defeated like a mountain, the second uncle was almost beheaded because of this, Xiliao's iron hooves stepped through the border pass of Nanyan, countless people flocked to the pass and even the capital, those days the noble girl in the capital did not dare to go out, for fear that she would be robbed by displaced refugees, she was also like those pampered eldest ladies cowered at home on weekdays, only when they really missed Xu Tianya, they would sneak out to meet him.

During that period of time, once when she sneaked out, she arrived at the agreed place, and for some reason Xu Tianya did not appear, but there were many refugees from the border in the house. It was also at that time that she was almost insulted, although she was rescued by Jing Zhaoyin in the end, but she was hugged by a man in public, and her clear name was ruined.

Concubine Xiao's father was from the Western Liao, and the Western Liao invaded her country, and she was implicated and ruined her reputation. Now that she has been reborn in a lifetime, she has been involved with Concubine Xiao again, and now she knows that Concubine Xiao's father is Ye Yuanzhi's subordinate, and Ye Yuanzhi has never stopped his partiality in his past and present lives...... Countless events from past and present lives are intertwined and inextricably linked. Is all this a coincidence, or is it inevitable?

"What kind of person does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think Xiao Chuge is?" Ye Tanghua frowned, when it came to the previous dynasty, she really didn't have any impression, she barely knew something about what Ye Yuanzhi was in charge of, but she really didn't know what people Ye Yuanzhi was under his hands.

"Who? It's just a scholar, but his eyes are a little shrewd...... The county lord asked what these do? Qi Yu made Ye Tanghua stunned, and subconsciously recalled his impression of Xiao Chuge, and only remembered to ask Ye Tanghua about the reasons for this.

"I ...... I'm just curious, I want to know what kind of father can raise a lovely daughter like Concubine Xiao. Ye Tanghua blinked her eyes and swallowed the truth that she almost blurted out. In any case, Xiliao has not made any moves yet, she just said it to Qi Yu, but she is afraid that Qi Yu will not believe it, and she is not sure that Xiao Chuge must have something to do with this matter.

But if Xiao Chuge really had anything to do with the invasion of Western Liao, then Ye Yuanzhi would not be able to run away even if he was afraid!

Ye Tanghua was taken aback by her own thoughts, in her impression, although Ye Yuanzhi was ruthless, but it was only limited to the scope of the Ye family, and it did not involve the general interests of the country, and Ye Yuanzhi was now in the position of Shangshu, and there was no benefit to him in communicating with foreign countries, so her conjecture was basically untenable.

But once the seeds of doubt fall, they will immediately take root and sprout in their hearts, no matter what, Ye Tanghua is planning to pay attention to this matter, maybe she will not be able to return to heaven in the end, but that can't be used as an excuse for her to watch coldly, as long as she thinks of the miserable appearance of the border pass being broken and countless people being displaced, she can't help but tremble.

"Really? The county lord's appearance doesn't seem to think that Concubine Xiao is cute, but that he thinks Concubine Xiao is terrible. Qi Yu chuckled and looked at Ye Tanghua a little helplessly, didn't this little girl know that she had written all her thoughts on her face? That's not the character of this girl.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood, Qing Shang is really just curious." Ye Tanghua had regained her senses at this time and smiled indifferently.

She was so careless that she almost leaked her mouth in front of Qi Yu...... Qi Yu is not Qi Minzhi or Feng Jiuge, he will be unconditionally willing to help her, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has too many gains and losses, and she can't afford to mess with her.

The crown prince Qi Yu is certainly doing a stable job now, but that is only because the second prince and the third prince are still young, regardless of the side, at least until the year when she died miserably in her previous life, the battle for the crown prince is already quite large-scale, and it is only seven or eight years later.

She has no intention of fighting royalty, she only wants to slash those who have hurt her. She is like this, and Qi Yu are destined not to go on the same road. Since it is destined to be different from each other, then don't waste time here.

"Your Highness, it's not too early, Miss Han and the queen are still waiting in the imperial garden, the rest of the road Qingshang recognizes, you should also go back, if you go back late, Niangniang is afraid that Qingshang will waste your time again." Ye Tanghua smiled at Qi Yu.

Qi Yu frowned and sighed: "I don't want to go back to face that Han Yirou, being with her is a real waste of time." I didn't realize that she was a smart person before, and I thought it was okay, but now I don't want to say a word to her. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this kind of thing to Qing Shang...... Is it really good? Aren't you afraid of what Qingshang will do again? Ye Tanghua blinked, a little bit didn't quite understand Qi Yu's performance, it was normal for him not to want to see Han Yirou, but he just said it to her rashly...... Is it appropriate?

Qi Yu glanced at Ye Tanghua and chuckled: "Will the county lord do something?" ”

Ye Tanghua smiled and stopped talking, from the current point of view, she really can't do anything, it is better to say that she and Qi Yu still have a lot of interests, each takes what he needs, mutual benefit is the best policy, she is full of food and support to go against Qi Yu?

"At the end of the day, you still have to do what needs to be done...... The county lord is easy to go, and the main hall will not be far away. Qi Yu sighed.

"Your Highness stays." Ye Tanghua thought about it, and decided to ventilate Xiao Yu's affairs with Qi Yu, after all, she was outside the palace, even if she knew that Xiao Concubine had a problem, she could only watch and be anxious, it was better to sell Qi Yu a favor than this, the days ahead are still long, who knows when Qi Yu will be used?

"Is there anything else the county lord has to do?" Qi Yu had planned to leave, but he was stopped by Ye Tanghua when he didn't think about it, and he was slightly surprised in his heart. Ye Tanghua has something to say, why didn't you say it just now, and leave it to say it now?

"Your Highness, please be careful of Concubine Xiao in the future, she ...... There is a problem. She gave me fragrant cakes that day, and repeatedly emphasized that she had made the incense herself, but that the incense cakes contained large doses of musk. Originally, I only thought that the incense was sent by someone else to harm her, but now it seems that it may not be. Especially Concubine Xiao's father is still from Western Liao, if she really has entanglements with Western Liao, even if it is just a little bit of misconception, it is very easy to harm me Nanyan Jiangshan. I can't interfere in this matter, so I should consider it a gift for His Highness. Ye Tanghua walked a few steps, approached Qi Yu's side, and whispered.

Qi Yu was shocked in his heart, and then quickly calmed down, he frowned and pondered for a while, and gave a light salute to Ye Tanghua: "Great grace is not grateful." ”

"Well said." Ye Tanghua also smiled back.
