Yi Chenjing never imagined that the person he least wanted to see would appear in the palace.

"This is the painting ink produced on the other side of the North Sea, the color is bright and full, and it is most suitable for painting beautiful pictures; This is the ambergris tea of Qingyan Lake, which is only two or three tea cakes a year, which is so precious that even the tea farmers who pick tea are reluctant to drink it; And this, His Royal Highness will definitely like it, this is a bone flute made of Mo Nan sheep bones, with a mellow tone, from the hands of the famous flute maker of the Mo Nan Ma Gang, both in appearance and texture, it is a superior treasure......"

He was woken up early in the morning by the eunuchs of the Prince's East Palace, saying that he had found a batch of rare and exotic goods from all over the north and south and invited the princes to enjoy and play, Yi Chenjing had no choice but to come down to the Prince's East Palace, but before he entered the door, he heard a familiar voice coming from the room, and immediately changed into a blue face.

"The surname is Ning, why are you everywhere."

The man who bent down face-to-face with the prince and introduced the piles of miscellaneous items on the table raised his head, with a frank smile on his face: "Sure enough, the prince and general are also here, but Ning has been waiting for a long time." ”

Holding his forehead and rubbing the corners of his forehead in a depressed manner, Yi Chenjing secretly scolded himself for being confused, he should have guessed that it was definitely not a good thing for the prince to specially tell Bai Qige to accompany him, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of refusing because of his face, he would not take Bai Qige to the East Palace to see these tattered things and tattered people.

"Hey, why don't you see the white girl. Isn't it supposed to be together? Seeing Yi Chenjing appear alone, Ning Xi was a little disappointed when he was drunk, the light in his green eyes dimmed a lot, and he muttered to himself, "It's rare to find two jars of old wine, and I want to have a drink with the white girl and His Royal Highness ......the Prince, how can the white girl not be there?"

Wine again.

When it comes to wine, Yi Chenjing is angry, especially when he is drunk and associated with wine, he really can't wait to smash the wine jar and kick this green-eyed fox away, these two scourges in the world can snatch Bai Qige from him, hook up with his alcoholic wife and leave him to talk and drink with others. In fact, no one else is to blame for this, Yi Chenjing himself knows it, he is too poor to accompany Bai Qige to have a drink, and it is not as good as Ning Xi to get drunk when he talks about sweet words, Bai Qige and Ning Xi are drunk at first sight, it is also reasonable, he is just unwilling.

The prince, who was immersed in playing, didn't notice Yi Chenjing's black and smelly face, and when he heard Ning Xidrunk mention Bai Qige, he also looked forward to it: "Yes, seventh brother, why don't you see the princess and princess coming with you." I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

Without waiting for Yi Chenjing to answer, a moon-white figure blocked the door, and his tone was full of a soft smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if Ning Gongzi was here, Qi Ge would definitely be the first to come." Ignoring Yi Chenjing's jealous eyes, Bai Qige walked generously in front of Ning Xizui, tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "What kind of good wine did Ning Gongzi bring this time." ”

"The nineteen-year-old cellar of Xueying Mountain was stolen from my father-in-law."

"It's good to seal the old-timers."

"Spiritedly, he scolded me last night because I accidentally broke a gilded white jade bowl. Tsk, the white girl doesn't know, in fact, the bowl is fake, there are many small flaws on the jade, and the gilding is to block those places, and the root is not worth a few dollars. ”

"It is worthy of Ning Gongzi, he has a way to do business, and anything can become a treasure."

Ignoring the conversations of others made Yi Chenjing extremely depressed, and he snorted coldly and pulled Bai Qige to his side: "Profiteers are profiteers, why do you have to say it so tactfully." I don't think much of this mess is true, the eldest brother should be careful, don't be deceived by the rhetoric of liars. ”

The prince stood awkwardly in front of the table, his hand touching the bone flute, not knowing whether to continue to pick it up or put it down, his face full of confusion.

Bai Qige had long been accustomed to Yi Chenjing's cold eyes on Ning Xi's drunken eyebrows, knowing that he was just a child at this time and had no malice, he stepped on Yi Chenjing lightly and smiled, anyway, he didn't mind being drunk. However, this time the situation seems to be a little different, Yi Chenjing looks the same as usual on the surface, sarcastically rather drunk and sticking to Bai Qige, but when no one is paying attention, there is more taste in his eyes when he looks at Bimu Gongzi, cold, and it is definitely not goodwill.

"If I'm not mistaken, after I brought Qige into the palace, I won't have anything to do with Boss Ning, what are you doing in the imperial capital." casually throwing away the strange things picked up in a pile of miscellaneous items, Yi Chenjing's tone was full of doubts.

"There is a lot of business in the imperial capital, and it is rare to come here, so why do you have to make a few big deals before you can leave." Ning Xi's drunken face was natural, "Besides, I haven't had a good drink with the white girl, how can Ning say goodbye without saying goodbye." I don't know when I'll see you next time. ”

A thin smile on his lips was watery: "Maybe there will be no next time at all." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yi Chenjing's body trembled, turned his head sideways, slanted his eyebrows, glanced at Bai Qige behind him, rubbed his ribs and stopped speaking.

Although the prince's reputation is not too good, for the sake of face, the princes still have to come to cheer, but among the princes who came to the door one after another, only Yi Chenxuan was missing, and the prince was quite frustrated: "Among the brothers, only the fifth brother can talk to me about some elegant things, but he doesn't come today, it's really disappointing." ”

"Haven't you heard of it, Brother Emperor? The five emperors' brothers and concubines are pregnant and given the concubine position, and this time is probably like glue in the remote hall, but the father has not been crowned with the king's edict, and I don't know if I forgot it. "There is a prince yin and yang weird return.

How could the emperor forget the great event of the king. This is clearly a hint at Yi Chenxuan's special treatment and rumors that may not be groundless, and it seems that these princes are also quite concerned about the abolition of the crown prince. Bai Qige quietly stared at the crown prince, and the crown prince of a country who only knew that he was playing and enjoying himself didn't seem to care about what others said, he lowered his head and only cared about fiddling with the strange things that Ning Xi brought drunk, and he was also casual when he spoke.

"It doesn't matter if it's sealed or not, I hope that my father can change someone to be the prince, watching those twists and turns every day will suffocate to death, how can you have a pleasant tour of the mountains and rivers. The fifth brother has been smart since he was a child, and it is not a day or two to help his father take care of internal affairs, and the seventh brother is also a person who is good at business, if my father is not angry, he can simply replace me with them. ”

This remark is simply perverse and incredible, how many people want to compete for the position of the crown prince is regarded as a hot potato, so "generous" is afraid that it will not attract praise for indifference to fame and fortune, but will be hated by other hopeless princes who compete for the throne. Bai Qige had several contacts with the crown prince, and she believed that there was really no dirt behind those clear and clean eyes, but what about the world. What about the other princes. Who would believe like her that the current crown prince does not want to be emperor at all.

Sympathetically looking at the prince with serious eyes, Bai Qige whispered in Yi Chenjing's ear: "I'll go back and prepare first, and then you must take Ning Gongzi back to Chenxuan together, don't mess around." ”

Yi Chenjing reluctantly responded, seeing that Ning Xi was drunk and still didn't have a good face, after Bai Qige left, he no longer paid attention to the profiteers who were interested in introducing business to the princes, and just waited for the people to disperse and follow the instructions of his wife to bring this unwelcome guest back to the dust house.

Ning Xidrunk with a lot of strange goods naturally did not come, the dilapidated carriage used to transport goods outside the gate of the East Palace was parked quietly, and the palace maids and eunuchs who passed by had to look at it curiously, covering their mouths and whispering to each other.

The Dayao Palace is magnificent, everyone is black-haired and yellow-skinned, whether it is a dilapidated carriage or a blue-eyed and snow-skinned Ning Xi drunk, it looks out of place.

The whispers outside the carriage were heard very clearly in the carriage, and the man in the plain green shirt frowned slightly, as if he was impatient with the continuous noise, and after waiting for a long time, no one came out of the hall, so he simply took advantage of the unpopular interval to lift the curtain and jump outside, and in a blink of an eye, the long figure disappeared at the corner at the end of the palace wall.

At this time, it was still early in the morning, although the sky was bright but the cold air did not dissipate overnight, in front of the firewood room in the corner of the dust Xuan, the plump woman bent down to open the door, Xu was because it was too cold to cause her fingers to freeze, and she tried several times in a row before opening the iron lock, and the door opened, and the cold and damp firewood room was illuminated by the morning sun and had nowhere to hide.

"Rao'er, Rao'er. Sister brought your favorite gourd cake, look, it's exactly the same as the one my mother made for us when I was a child. Squatting down and gently removing the shabby and dirty quilt, when he saw those godless eyes, Su Yan still couldn't maintain a stiff smile, turned his head and whimpered a few times.

Su Rao went crazy, her only relative was conceived by Prime Minister Zuo, and then went crazy.

When Su Yan returned to the palace after all the hardships and heard the news, he once cried and fainted, Yi Chenjing took a lot of effort to ask someone to rescue Su Rao from the forbidden room, although he was angry and considered that Su Yan did not want Su Rao's life, but he did not allow this woman who had framed Bai Qige several times to have a good life, and locked people in the firewood room for more than a month. Su Yan naturally couldn't give up this sister, and carried Yi Chenjing to give Su Rao food and drink early and late, but Su Rao was lifeless like a wood carving, and the whole person was skinny and skinny, and she was powerless to see that she was powerless.

Crushed the gourd cake little by little and fed it to Su Rao, Su Yan hugged her sister to warm her hands and feet, and said some happy memories of childhood, thinking that Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing were about to come back when they went to the Prince's East Palace, so they had to let go of their hands and fold the tattered quilt, and reluctantly stepped out of the firewood room and locked the door again.

"I've been looking for you for a long time." Just about to turn around, Leng Bu was startled by the sudden sound, Su Yan turned around suddenly, and the expressionless face in front of him could clearly see the sunlight clearly.

"Su Gongzi. You, why are you here. Patting his chest with palpitations, Su Yan's voice trembled, "There are many guards here, don't let people find out, they are all powerful people......

Su Buqi lowered his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Su Yan's slightly flushed cheeks, and his tone was still so light: "I just want to see you." At that time, you had a lot of bruises on your body, and I got some medicine from my father-in-law these days, and I happened to be going to the palace to do some business, so I stopped by to have a look. ”

If you run from the East Palace of the Prince to the Dust Xuan, it will be considered a smooth way.

Raising his finger to brush away the strand of hair on his porcelain white cheek, before reaching the side of his face, as if remembering something, Su Buqi stopped his movements: "Is there anyone inside?" Look like you've just cried. ”

"It's my sister." Sighing and hugging his arms, Su Yan smiled a little far-fetched, "I am afraid that I will not get better from the same illness as Concubine Jing, and I don't know if His Highness can give her a way to live in the past." Since I was a child, she has protected me, and this time it will be me who will protect her. ”

"If she is expelled from the palace, will you leave here with her?"

Su Yan was stunned.

She hadn't thought about what she would do if Su Rao really wanted to leave the palace.

Leave with your only relative, let go of Yi Chenjing, let go of Concubine Jing, let go of the identity of a concubine who is not worthy of the name, and let go of the only destination that has lived for more than three years. Or stay in this rich land and let my sister fend for herself.

"Rao'er and I have been together since we were children...... She couldn't cook or mend clothes...... If I don't accompany her...... "Thinking about the days and nights when my sisters depended on each other, the tears I couldn't hold back anymore, and they dripped like rain in front of men who were neither familiar nor strangers.

In this way, the pitiful face, the tears, and her pure kindness.

The jaw is soft and warm, the fingertips are lightly supported, the cheeks are slightly raised, and the blue and clear eyes are close at hand, gradually approaching with the lips that are as pale as water.
