Yikun Palace.

It was late at night.

When Ruosu came in, Concubine Yan was standing in front of the window in her middle coat and looked out of the window in a daze, and when she heard the sound, she slowly turned around.

"How?"

Ruo Su bowed before shaking his head, "Looking at the princess's appearance, it seems that she must intervene." ”

It seemed that she already knew this answer, and Yan Guifei's face was not surprised at all, "Then what did she say?" ”

Ruo Su shook her head again, "Princess, she didn't say anything. ”

Concubine Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, with a little contempt in her smile, "Does this girl really think that she is a god who saves the world?" I can't protect myself and still want to take care of other people's affairs? ”

"Niangniang, is this marriage really as the princess said, does it have another meaning?" Ruo Su looked at Yan Guifei cautiously.

Yan Guifei took a deep breath and looked up at the window again.

Outside the window, it was pitch black, and there wasn't even a star.

"Ruosu, I can't see through him." After a long time, Yan Guifei's hoarse voice came slowly.

Looking at Yan Guifei's thin body, Ruo Su's heart was inexplicably sour, "Niangniang, it's not that you can't see through, you just don't want to see through." ”

Yan Guifei was stunned, turned her head to look at Ruosu's quiet eyes, for a long time, a wry smile suddenly climbed up the corners of her mouth, and her slender eyelashes slowly drooped, "You're right, I don't see through...... I just don't want to see through ......."

"Mother's ......"

"Ruosu, you haven't broken it for so many years, why do you have to say it tonight."

"Niangniang, the slave just can't bear to see you lie to yourself anymore, that's too hard."

Concubine Yan raised her head, her clear eyes were full of tears, but no tears fell. "yes, it's hard."

Sometimes she really would rather be stupid and stupid than see things so clearly. She made up a dream for herself with lies, and sometimes she really wished that she could live in this dream forever, but it was really too hard.

"Mother." Ruosu walked to Concubine Yan and stretched out her hand to slowly support her.

Yan Guifei smiled, turned her face to look at Ruo Sudao, "Help me to sit on the couch." ”

"Yes." Ruo Su smiled, helped Concubine Yan to sit on the couch, removed her shoes for her, and pulled the brocade quilt next to her to cover her.

"What did she think of?" Concubine Yan leaned on the soft pillow, her eyes clear, as if the sad woman just now was just an illusion.

Ruosu shook her head, "The slave doesn't know, but looking at the princess's expression, she seems to have an idea." ”

"Got an idea?" Yan Guifei smiled, "She asked the palace to delay time for her, could it be that she wanted to find someone to propose to the ninth princess before this?" But at present, there are not many unmarried sons in the capital who can match the nine princesses. Besides, if this marriage with Beimo really has another mystery, and it must be the ninth princess, then I am afraid that this method may not be useful. ”

"The princess's method is useless, so ...... Mother, do you have a useful way? Ruo Su half-knelt on the ground and whispered while pinching Yan Guifei's feet.

Yan Guifei lowered her eyes and looked at Ruosu, and her slender eyebrows were unconsciously raised, "What, you also want to help her?" ”

The hand holding the foot paused, Ruo Su sighed softly, "The slave is really pitiful when she looks at the ninth princess, the emperor loves her so much, but in the end, he is so ruthless to marry her to an old man who is over fifty years old." ”

"Love?" Yan Guifei smiled, and a hint of mockery crossed her phoenix eyes, "It's just for others to see, if you really love it, how can you put it on the bright side and become the target of public criticism?" The person he really loves in his life, unless he is himself, I'm afraid there is only that woman and his son......"

Afraid that Concubine Yan would be sad when she thought of the emperor, Ruo Su hurriedly opened the conversation, "Isn't Niangniang really helping the Ninth Princess?" ”

"Ruosu, you have been in the palace for so long, how can you be like that girl." Yan Guifei turned her face to look at Ruo Su and frowned slightly.

"Yes, the slave has said much." Ruosu lowered his head and stopped talking.

Yan Guifei sighed, "Actually, it's not impossible, it's just that this method is too risky." ”

Ruo Su hurriedly raised his head and looked at Yan Guifei.

The corners of Yan Guifei's lips moved, and her cold voice sounded slowly, "If you want to push off this marriage, there is no other way than death." ”

Ruo Su's heart was shocked, and she looked at Yan Guifei, and it took a while to find her voice, "Niangniang, what do you mean ......?"

"Ruosu, you have been in the palace for so many years, you should know how risky this matter is......" Yan Guifei looked at Ruosu word by word.

Ruosu nodded.

"So, you have to keep an eye on her." Concubine Yan stared at Ruo Su and said solemnly.

The price to pay to save Chu Zuizhi was too great for her to pay, and Xiao Xiwei couldn't afford it even more.

"Yes, the slave knows." Ruo Sushen responded solemnly.

On the second day, Xiao Xiwei asked people to prepare a gift and went to the Lu State Mansion.

Xiao Xiwei's arrival really surprised the people of the Lu State Mansion, even Xiao Xichun.

Since she insisted on marrying into the Luguo Mansion, she has automatically distanced herself from Xiao Xiwei and Zhongyong Houfu, even when Xiao Xiwei reported that she was pregnant, she didn't send anyone to ask, she really didn't expect Xiao Xiwei to come to see her.

"Princess, why are you here?"

"It was Mama Xiao who asked me to summon me, but I was not in good health and kept recuperating a while ago, so the girls made their own decisions and didn't give me the letter."

Xiao Xi Weichun turned his face to look at Mama Xiao behind him.

Mama Xiao gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of Xiao Xichun, "It was the slave who wrote to ask the princess to persuade Madame to persuade you." ”

"Mama, I have something to persuade, I'm fine now." A hint of annoyance flashed in Xiao Xichun's eyes.

I don't know if she is annoyed with Xiao Xiwei's sudden visit, or annoyed with Mama Xiao's self-determination.

Xiao Xi sighed slightly, she looked at Xiao Xichun carefully, she was wearing a light blue embroidered Yuehua skirt, embroidered with a few small flowers embroidered on the skirt, a very ordinary style, wearing a jade broken hosta on her head, compared with half a year ago, her eyebrows and eyes have grown a lot, but her face is extremely haggard.

"Do you look good like that?" Xiao Xi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he looked at Xiao Xichun distressedly.

"I'm really good, Princess Lao has made this trip." Xiao Xichun looked at Xiao Xi stubbornly and said slightly.

Xiao Xi sighed slightly, looked at Xiao Xichun faintly and said, "Chun'er, I thought that no matter what happened in the past, but we are sisters, aren't we?" ”

Sad, distressed, worried, all kinds of complicated eyes flickered in Xiao Xi's micro eyes. Even though she had already piled up a thick heart defense, at this moment, she still couldn't help but be moved.

Yes! They're sisters!

She was the first sister to smile at herself and be nice to herself!

"Chun'er, do you really refuse to call me sister?" Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Xichun, and a shallow sadness crossed his eyes.

"Sister...... Sister ......"

All the hearts and minds collapsed in my sister.

Xiao Xiwei stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take Xiao Xichun into his arms, "Cry, just cry." ”

Inside the house, a long-suppressed cry rang out.

After a long time, Xiao Xichun finally stopped crying, she leaned quietly on Xiao Xiwei's shoulder, looking tired but indescribably relaxed.

"Don't keep everything in your heart in the future, you don't want to say a word all day long, and you don't want to go out of the house to walk around, but you can frighten Mama Xiao, you see how long I haven't seen Mama Xiao, most of her hair is white, it's all for you." Seeing that Xiao Xichun had eased up, Xiao Xiwei stretched out his hand and nodded Xiao Xichun's forehead and said softly.

After listening to Xiao Xiwei's words, Xiao Xichun realized that Mama Xiao's sideburns had really grown a lot of white, and all kinds of guilt came to her heart in an instant, "Mama, I'm sorry, I bothered you." ”

Mama Xiao's tears fell, "With Miss's words, slaves are worth everything, Miss must not get along with herself in the future." ”

"Okay." Xiao Xichun nodded vigorously.

Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, "Okay, as long as you want to open it." Speaking of which, since you married into the Lu State Mansion, I haven't had a good walk, and I have heard that the garden of the Lu State Mansion is beautiful, so why don't you accompany me for a walk. ”

Seeing that Xiao Xichun was still a little hesitant, Mama Xiao hurriedly encouraged, "Miss, go out for a walk with the princess, the weather is good today, and the flowers in the garden are blooming well." ”

After Mama Xiao's persuasion, Xiao Xichun finally nodded and agreed.

The flowers and fruits in the garden of the Luguo Mansion are really blooming brilliantly, clustered together, colorful, purple and red, the breeze blows, and the nose is full of flowers.

Along the way, Mama Xiao was enthusiastic to introduce the various flowers in the garden to Xiao Xiwei and Xiao Xichun.

"Princess, you should be tired after walking for a while, it is better to find a place to rest." Ziyan helped Xiao Xi and said softly.

After listening to Ziyan's words, Mama Xiao remembered that Xiao Xiwei was pregnant, and she hurriedly said, "Then why don't we go back?" ”

"I finally came to the Lu Guogong Mansion once, and you didn't let me take a good look." Xiao Xi looked at the purple flue with a smile.

"Then, princess, let's find a place to sit." Purple flue.

"There is a pavilion on the rockery not far ahead, in this pavilion you can have a panoramic view of the scenery in the garden, but the rockery is a little high, princess, you ......" Mama Xiao said with some hesitation.

"It's okay, I just have something to tell Chun'er." Xiao Xi smiled, reached out to hold Xiao Xichun's hand and continued, "Chun'er, otherwise, you can help me go up and sit down." ”

Hearing Xiao Xiwei's words, Mama Xiao was very happy, and wished that Xiao Xiwei would persuade her young lady well, and said busily, "Then the lady will accompany the princess, and the slave and maid will guard below." ”

Xiao Xichun looked at Xiao Xiwei and Mama Xiao a little, and finally nodded.

In the end, Xiao Xichun and Ziyan took Xiao Xiwei's hand and walked up the steps to the pavilion on the rockery, but there was still one person in the pavilion.

A man.
