Chapter 40: Hidden Disease?
Concubine Jin knelt on the ground, and scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of those two men in her heart, why were her subordinates so timid and afraid? Is it still someone from her house?
"Concubine Jin, this princess really doesn't know that this princess's subordinates can let others beat and scold." Lin Xueqi sat on the chair that Mei Chun had just moved and looked at Concubine Jin condescendingly.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is angry." Concubine Jin's head was lowered, and she said this sentence repeatedly, only hoping that Lin Xueqi could forgive her for the sin she had committed just now.
Lin Xueqi stretched out her hand to take the mung bean soup handed by Mei Chun, and smiled at her, "Thank you Mei Chun, I know that under the scorching sun, this princess will teach a side concubine a lesson, and she will definitely have a dry mouth." ”
Concubine Jin's body was trembling all the time. Her red lips were already a little white, and her body seemed to be as light as paper, as if it would fall when the wind blew.
Mo Xichen came to Lin Xueqi's side, looked at Concubine Jin who was kneeling, looked at Lin Xueqi, and asked, "Do you want to enter the house?" It's hot outside, so it's better to cool off in the shade. ”
"No, Concubine Jin is still being punished, how can this princess be like this? This princess wants to be a person who respects the old and loves the young. Lin Xueqi smiled brightly, and her smile looked very bright and moving in the sun.
The Jin Concubine on the ground was embarrassed in her heart. She is only in her thirties, and she is said to be old by a half-year-old child? How could she be embarrassed? But she can be regarded as taking care of the overall situation, knowing that now she must need Lin Xueqi's help if she wants to take the position.
When Mo Xichen heard Lin Xueqi's answer, his eyes swept over the kneeling Concubine Jin, his eyes were mixed with a chill, he spoke lightly, a little unspeakably domineering, "When you enter the house, it's just a side concubine, why should the princess go to the trouble of accompanying her?" His tone was tough.
Side concubine. These two words stimulated Concubine Jin's nerves fiercely. Yes, she has been in the palace for more than 20 years, but she is still in the position of a side concubine, and she has stopped, and the girl who originally entered the palace with her has become the most noble queen today.
She is a daughter, but she can't compare to a country girl. She has superior living conditions, but she is not as good as a person who can only thread needles and threads.
Lin Xueqi finally shook her head, she took a bite of mung bean soup, stood up, came to Concubine Jin's side, and raised her chin, "I really don't know why you all like the pungent taste of rouge gouache so much." ”
What's so good about this rouge gouache? If you use it too much, it is harmful to the skin, and it is not as good as her queen mother without makeup.
Concubine Jin's eyelashes drooped, "If Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't like it, Concubine Jin can wipe it off." ”
Lin Xueqi let go of her chin and waved her hand, "That's it, you get up." If you know your mistakes, you can still be a good child. She smiled like a flower.
Concubine Jin was happy in her heart, and hurriedly thanked her, Lin Xueqi raised her hand to cover part of the sunshine, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "You go to the Imperial Garden, this princess will help you get the next thing." ”
Concubine Jin thanked her and walked towards the imperial garden with her maid.
She looked at the scorching sun, walked into Songxi Garden, returned to her house, changed into a light silk white dress, and then walked back to the small stone table and picked up the mung bean soup that she hadn't finished drinking.
This dress is very light, and she doesn't feel it when she wears it, and Mei Chun also said that it can protect her from the sun, which is indeed a good dress for her.
She took a sip of mung bean soup and stirred it with a spoon, "Eat quickly, eat well." This is what she said to Mo Xichen.
Now the scorching sun is in the sky, but she has to do a very important thing in such a ghost weather, and this matter is also conducive to all future plans.
So, no matter what, whether it's for her or Mo Xichen, there are only pros and no cons.
Mo Xichen didn't ask much, and after eating the last bite, he sat on the chair, his slender fingers tapping on the table again and again.
"Good work." Lin Xueqi thanked. In the past few days, her plan has been carried out so smoothly with the help of Mo Xichen, and part of the credit is attributed to him, and now in such weather, please ask him, it is really troublesome for him.
"The Ninth Princess is polite." Mo Xichen smiled lightly, supported his chin with his hand, looked at Lin Xueqi who was sitting opposite, and opened his thin lips lightly: "Helping you is also helping this king, since the ninth princess is also helping this king, why doesn't this king help you?"
Lin Xueqi was stunned in her heart, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Then we don't owe each other?" ”
Among them, she just said this verbally, after all, she owes so much favor, and she can't pay it back overnight, these days it's all because of his help that she has seen some truths that have surfaced.
Lin Xueqi put down the chopsticks in his hand and stretched his waist, "I'm full, let's go." ”
She walked out of Songxi Garden, and before leaving, she told Mei Chun to take good care of the garden, and when she came back, if anyone made trouble, she would either blow it out or beat it up and blow it out again.
She had been to the Emperor's study twice, and it was easy to find the path to the study with her vivid memory.
Coming to the door of the study, Lin Xueqi stood beside Mo Xichen, looking at the two eunuchs, she stepped forward and asked, "May I ask the two fathers-in-law, is the emperor's uncle inside?"
In fact, she was very disgusted with the word 'uncle' now, because she saw that her mother's death might have a lot to do with him, and she was unwilling to admit that he was her new uncle if it weren't for the secret word to explain her identity.
It is impossible for her uncle to kill her own sister who is the same mother as her!
Even though the truth has not yet been determined, Lin Xueqi has long regarded him as a suspect who has something to do with his mother's death.
Because Lin Xueqi's head was slightly lowered, and the broken hair on Lin Xueqi's forehead covered the expression under her eyes at this time, the two eunuchs couldn't see Lin Xueqi's expression, but they knew that the person in front of them was Lin Xueqi who had danced in the city before.
"Your Highness the Princess." The two eunuchs hurriedly saluted, and then walked towards Mo Xichen for a while, before asking them the doubts in their hearts, "I don't know what the two of you are doing here?" ”
Lin Xueqi's face was quite embarrassed, she glanced at Mo Xichen, the corners of her mouth were shallowly hooked up with an evil smile, that smile was very shallow, and it disappeared quickly, but Mo Xichen still noticed it, and instantly felt bad.
"Xue Qi came here to ask Xichen...... But there is a hidden disease. Lin Xueqi said as she spoke, her cheeks gradually turning red.
Mo Xichen's face froze, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect him to be used by a little girl, and the excuse was very strange.
Suspicion flashed in the eyes of the two eunuchs, but they also quickly suppressed the strangeness in their hearts, "The emperor is in the study, Her Royal Highness the princess, please come in." ”
Lin Xueqi thanked him in a low voice, blushing and pulling Mo Xichen into the door and on the way to the study.
On the way, Mo Xichen directly grabbed Lin Xueqi's waist, and his big hand could touch her skin through the thin fabric, "This king has a hidden disease?" Well? The warm breath between his snorts sprayed on her neck, tickling a little.
Lin Xueqi was also embarrassed, she quickly changed the topic, "Let's go, the emperor is very busy." ”
Lin Xueqi wanted to move but couldn't, she couldn't break his big hand, no, she couldn't even break a finger.
Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped through her heart. In fact, she also rejected such a statement in her heart, but she really couldn't think of anything better. Woe comes from the mouth. But as I have already said, it is like water that has been spilled and cannot be recovered.
Mo Xichen stared at Lin Xueqi's eyes, he found that her eyes were beautiful, as deep and bright as obsidian, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly like a fan, fluttering like peach petals.
Mo Xichen suddenly let go of his hand, and Lin Xueqi also took the opportunity to keep a certain distance from him, and the two of them had blush on their cheeks.
Lin Xueqi turned his back and covered his heart with his hand. The heart here is beating and beating, which she usually can't feel, but now she can hear the beating, and it beats very fast.
She didn't know what this feeling was, but she seemed to have a different feeling about Mo Xichen, as for what it was, she didn't know, and she didn't want to know now.
She quickly calmed her heart, patted her face with her hand to make her face less hot, and then turned around, looked at Mo Xichen, and said, "Let's go, it's been a lot of time."
Mo Xichen: "Hmm. With a sigh, he walked towards the study, Lin Xueqi walked behind him, looking at his back, a little distracted.
Mo Xichen was about to knock on the door, but the door of the study opened automatically, and the emperor came out of it in a dragon robe, looking at Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen, his tone did not have any waves, "What are you here for?" ”
Lin Xueqi quietly pulled his sleeve behind Mo Xichen, and said to the emperor: "It's extremely inappropriate for uncle to always be in the study, why don't you go to the imperial garden to relax?" Xueqi accompanies you? It's fun outside, and you can also chat with your uncle by the way. Lin Xueqi smiled brightly on the outside, but she was extremely disgusted with him in her heart.
She had goosebumps all over the ground when she said these words, but she still held back the vomit in her heart and forced a smile.
The emperor glanced at Lin Xueqi's eyes, and finally nodded, "That's an idea, so let's go." ”
He gently closed the door and let Lin Xueqi and them go first, but how could Lin Xueqi let him get his wish?
"Uncle is the emperor, the lord of a country, how can Xichen and I walk in front of you? You mean, right? ”
Lin Xueqi's remarks made the emperor stunned in his heart, and he didn't understand why his niece, who had been ignoring him a little recently, suddenly came to him and proposed to go for a walk in the imperial garden together.
But he didn't think much about it, after all, he owed their mother and daughter too much, and he couldn't pay it off in this life.
"Xue Qi is right." He smiled kindly, like a middle-aged uncle next door.
Lin Xueqi squeezed out a smile and walked to the gate, Lin Xueqi stepped forward and opened it, the two princesses noticed something strange, and when they saw that it was the emperor and others, they hurriedly saluted.
The Emperor instructed them to take care of the study and not let anyone enter or leave, and then they went to the Imperial Garden.
Lin Xueqi looked at them, and her pink lips lightly opened: "Under the scorching sun, you still have to work, then the princess will wish you to come on!"
She forced her personality to be more cheerful at this time, so as to eliminate the suspicion of the emperor when he was suspicious of her and Mo Xichen.
