"Did he tell you to come to me?" Xiao Xi looked at Min'er with some hesitation.

Min'er nodded, with irrepressible excitement on her red face, "I didn't expect that Sister Xiao was the Princess Yan that Brother Xuan asked me to find." Speaking of this, as if she remembered something, Min'er took out a jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Xiao Xiwei, "Sister Xiao, this is what Brother Xuan asked me to hand over to you." ”

The jade pendant is a fine white marble, and there is a Mu character engraved on it.

This is a cherished jade pendant.

Xiao Xi frowned slightly, reached out and carefully picked up the jade pendant in Min'er's palm.

She knew that everything had been arranged a long time ago. At this time, Xiang Mingxuan asked Min'er to bring this jade pendant to her, and her intention was self-evident.

"Sister Xiao, Brother Xuan has one more sentence for me to bring to you." Min'er said again.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly to look at Min'er.

"Brother Xuan said that although he is not talented, he does not dare to compare himself with Han Xin, but he also knows that he is not a person who does not repay kindness." Min'er learned to say word by word to Mingxuan's mouth, and after speaking, she stuck out her tongue, "Sister Xiao, Brother Xuan, he said this, I remember it all, and I definitely didn't leave a word." ”

Xiao Xi smiled, "I know, Lord Xiang is a gentleman. Min'er, thank you for me. ”

"No, no, Brother Xuan and I would like to thank Sister Xiao for buying my lanterns." Min'er waved her hand embarrassedly.

A few days later, Xiang Mingxuan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, finally took over the position of deputy commander of the forbidden army. This matter must be under the agenda, and the relatives who were originally postponed because of the fire in Yuli Palace were also put on the agenda.

When Chu Zuizhi got married, it was early autumn, and the maple leaves in the capital would begin to change color.

Because most of the Yuli Palace has been burned down, Chu Zuizhi was arranged in Concubine Xiang's Chuxiu Palace. When Xiao Xiwei went to see her, Chu Zuizhi had already changed into a red wedding dress, and the gorgeous color drowned her whole person in it, lining her face as pale as paper, and the whole person sat on the bed indifferently.

"Princess." Xiao Xiwei shouted softly.

Chu Zuizhi raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiwei blankly, his empty eyes numb.

She didn't say anything, not even a word of accusation.

"Princess, have you seen how those common people live?" Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Zuizhi and said slowly, seeing that Chu Zuizhi did not answer, she smiled, and then said, "They have worked hard for a year, hoping that the wind will be smooth, but they can only eat for a whole year, if the weather is a little bad that year, it is likely that the family will not have enough to eat, and in a famine year, there are people who sell their sons and daughters." Speaking of this, Xiao Xi sighed slightly, "Princess, you were born with fine clothes and food, you can get the best life without paying anything, you may not be able to imagine how hard those people have to pay to get food and clothing." All this is just because you were born to be a princess, so you have the best life, and with this, you have a more important mission than ordinary people. God is fair, you get this, you have to lose the other, there are always very few in the world that have the best of both worlds, how many people can live smoothly in this life? ”

Tears fell down the corners of his eyes.

Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and sighed again, stretched out his hand and pulled out the handkerchief and walked a few steps to the bed, bent down and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for Chu Zuizhi, "Don't cry, when there are some things that we can't change with all our might, then learn to accept them." People have to live eventually. ”

Chu Zuizhi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was slightly interrupted by Xiao Xi.

"Princess." Xiao Xiwei plucked an ivory engraved hairpin from his head and put it in Chu Zuizhi's palm, and then reached out and patted her palm gently, "Father has prepared a lot of dowries for you, everything, I don't know what to give you, this hairpin is considered the makeup I added to you, you take it well." With that, she leaned down and gently hugged Chu Zuizhi's shoulder, "Don't be afraid, my brother is waiting for you." ”

"Imperial ......"

"Don't talk, don't get excited, there's someone outside." Xiao Xi whispered in Chu Zuizhi's ear, "Drunk, it's a pity that he has arranged everything, don't be afraid, don't do stupid things." After speaking, she slowly stood up with her waist in her arms, and looked at Chu Zuizhi again, her voice was obviously a little hoarse, "Princess, tomorrow...... I won't send you tomorrow when you get married. You, you...... You don't blame me. Xiao Xi said slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Chu Zuizhi stared at Xiao Xiwei in a daze, and gradually, her pupils gathered countless resentments, and after a while, she finally spit out a word from between her teeth, "Get out." ”

Xiao Xi froze slightly.

"Princess." Ziyan hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Xiwei, and then she looked at Chu Zuizhi and said, "Princess, it's not that she doesn't want to help you, it's just that this marriage was given by the emperor himself." Princess, she really can't do it......"

"Ziyan, don't say it." Xiao Xi's slightly sideways eyes interrupted Ziyan's words.

Ziyan looked at Xiao Xi and opened his mouth slightly, and finally closed his mouth obediently with his eyebrows twisted.

Xiao Xiwei raised her eyes and looked at Chu Zuizhi again, "Princess, I'm sorry for you...... People are selfish, and they all have their own most important people who cannot be abandoned. I can't take such a big risk and responsibility for you, and you should hate me. ”

"Get out!"

The mournful sound suddenly resounded throughout the Chuxiu Palace.

Xiao Xi closed his eyes slightly, and a line of tears welled up. When she opened her eyes again, the bottom of her eyes had calmed down, but she no longer looked at Chu Zuizhi, but said to Ziyan beside her, "Ziyan, let's go." ”

Ziyan was obviously stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly helped Xiao Xiwei towards the door.

As soon as she got out of the room, she didn't take a few steps, and Concubine Xiang walked over with the palace maid.

"Princess, what happened just now?" Concubine Xiang held her stomach and smiled.

Xiao Xi was slightly blessed, "Why is Niangniang here?" ”

"This palace heard that the princess came to see the ninth princess, so I came to take a look." Concubine Xiang said, glancing sideways at the Ninth Princess's room, "Just now...... Nine Princess, is she okay? ”

The smile on Xiao Xi's lips stiffened slightly, but soon returned to normal, "It'll be fine." Nine princesses, she is a smart person, she will figure it out. ”

"Yes." Concubine Xiang smiled, then her eyes rolled, and she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xi and said, "Princess, there is still something in this palace that you don't understand?" ”

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Concubine Xiang.

Concubine Xiang raised her hand to cover her mouth and pretended to cough a few times, and at the end, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xi and said, "The princess has always had a gentle temper, just now, what happened to the princess to make the ninth princess so angry?" ”

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a mocking smile crossed his lips, "Why doesn't Concubine Xiang know?" After that, without waiting for Concubine Xiang's reaction, he blessed his body slightly, and then walked in front of Concubine Xiang with a cold face holding Ziyan's hand.

After Xiao Xiwei left, Concubine Xiang shook her handkerchief angrily, "This Xiao Xiwei doesn't take the palace too seriously." ”

"Mother." At this moment, a voice sounded in a dark corner.

Concubine Xiang was startled, and after seeing the person clearly, she let out a long sigh of relief, "It turned out to be you, Mama An." After speaking, she blinked her eyes and said, "Mama An, did you hear what Princess Yan and the Ninth Princess said just now?" ”

As if she hadn't heard Concubine Xiang's words, Mama An blessed her, and then turned around and left.

This time, Concubine Xiang's face turned completely blue.

Xiao Xiwei is just that, when will she not even take a minion in her eyes.

said that Mama An returned to Jingyang Palace after leaving Chuxiu Palace.

Jingyang Palace is the palace where Chu Yanzhi lived when he was not crowned King Shen, and since he moved out of Jingyang Palace to establish his own mansion, Jingyang Palace has been taken care of by Mama An.

At this time, there was another person in Jingyang Palace.

"Mama An, how is it?" When Lu Haiyang saw Mama An coming back, he was busy.

Mama An twisted her eyebrows and shook her head slowly.

"Didn't Xiao Xiwei do anything?" Lu Haiyang frowned.

"Not really." Mama An pursed the corners of her mouth, "Princess Yan, she persuaded the ninth princess, and apologized to the ninth princess, but ......"

"But what?" Lu Haiyang hurriedly asked.

"But the ninth princess didn't appreciate it." Mama An said in a deep voice.

Lu Haiyang looked at him, and the corners of his lips hooked up a cold smile, "It seems that I really underestimated Xiao Xiwei." ”

If it weren't for Xiao Xiwei deceiving Chu Zuizhi and making her think that she had a chance to escape from the palace, she later found out that this was just a trap to lure him into the game, how could she turn against Xiao Xiwei with Chu Zuizhi's character.

"I'm afraid things aren't exactly what you think, adult." Mama An looked at Lu Haiyang and said again.

"Mama, what do you mean by this......" Lu Haiyang gradually frowned.

"The slave maid has been in the palace for so many years, and I always feel that the hatred on the surface will not be the real 'hatred'. After Mama An finished speaking, she looked up at Lu Haiyang's eyes and said, "Didn't the adults say that Princess Yan is not an ordinary woman?" ”

Before the ninth princess got angry, she clearly did not resist Princess Yan's move to reach out and hug her, although it was only for a while, it was enough for Princess Yan to say something she didn't want to hear.

Lu Haiyang listened to Mama An's words, and after a while, the corners of his mouth curled, "I knew that Xiao Xiwei would not give up so easily, she must have a second move." ”

Now that Chu Zuizhi is about to get married, it is impossible for her to choose to do it in the palace, so she can only ......

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Lu Haiyang's mouth deepened a little.

Xiao Xiwei, I don't believe that I will lose to you again this time.

"Mama An, please take your heart here. Although the emperor's body looks healthier than before, in the end, Du Du is the person recommended by Chu Xizhi, so he must be guarded against! Lu Haiyang said.

"Please rest assured, slaves and maids can be saved." Mama An replied with a slight bow.

Lu Haiyang nodded, "Then everything in the palace will be handed over to Mama." With that, he raised his hand to Mama An and saluted, and then strode out of Jingyang Palace.
