"I was expecting to wait for Concubine De Niangniang to give birth to the prince, and then set off to return to the palace after a while, but now that this matter has been born, Foguang Temple is not very peaceful, so I want to go back as soon as possible......" Xue Hainiang replied a little perfunctory.

Nan Shuke rarely laughed, and his words were quipping, "To say this, it is to question Fifteen's ability to escort!"

Xue Hainiang hurriedly shook her head and smiled, "How dare you, General Qin's martial arts are superb." This time, all the way from Beijing to this place is thanks to the escort of His Royal Highness and General Qin, but it must be known that it is not wise to bet his life on others. ”

Nan Shuke was stunned, and his amber and jade-like eyes flashed a little stunned, as if he was surprised that Xue Hainiang's temperament would say this.

Isn't this girl exactly the same way, treating her life as dust, doing nonsense, and repeatedly stretching her whitewashed neck under the sharp blades of others?

After being stunned, he lost his laughter. He stood with his back lit, the golden light lining him like a god.

The blue field jade belt at the waist lined his waist with thin legs and long legs, and his demeanor was graceful. On the waist, it is decorated with agate tassel jade pendant, and further to the right is a small meniscus knife decorated with jade.

Seeing that her eyes fell on the meniscus knife beside her, Nan Shuke explained in a loud voice, "This scimitar was accidentally obtained by me when I was guarding the northern border...... Before, when my relationship with Lang Wan was not at simmer, she always pestered me to find a weapon for her, preferably a scimitar and dagger, and I saw that this thing was still good and brought it. But now that I think about it, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to give her again. I was afraid that she would misunderstand, but now I don't need to say much about it. ”

"I'm not here on this trip, there are only fifteen people left, he is afraid that he will have to take care of Concubine Liang Defei from time to time, and this thing is useless to me, so it is better to give you self-defense and play." With that, he dragged it down and threw it towards Xue Hainiang.

Xue Hainiang took it easily.

She held it in the palm of her hand and looked at it for a while, the gorgeous scabbard was cold to the touch, and the blade was not heavy, just right for a woman.

"Since my aunt booked it early in the morning, how can I accept it. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will give it to my grandmother for you. ”

During this period of time, day and night, she had a good impression of the evil-hearted girl.

Unexpectedly, the latter wrinkled his eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Since I have the idea of breaking her, I am afraid that this move will cause misunderstanding that should not be there......"

Xue Hainiang raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It's just a scimitar, and friends can also send it, how can it cause misunderstanding? At that time, I only said that you gave this scimitar as a friend." ”

Nan Shuke stared at her for a long time with half-closed eyes, and actually reached out and snatched the scimitar from her hand, "I really don't like to get into such trouble......

"Hey-" Xue Hainiang frowned slightly, looked at him with a smile for a long time, and snatched it directly from him.

"As His Royal Highness said, after you left, only General Qin was there to protect him, and he had to always take care of the safety of Concubine De, so naturally he couldn't take care of me, so this scimitar was left for me to defend myself...... As for accepting one, since His Royal Highness found it for Auntie from the beginning, I don't want to take away this thing that should belong to her. In this way, after I return to Beijing, I will temporarily collect it for His Highness, and the next time I see His Highness, I will definitely return to Zhao, and what His Highness wants to deal with at that time is His Highness's own business. Her phoenix eyes were crooked, as if carrying starlight.

The cold pimple hurt in the fingers, Xue Hainiang was in a trance, lowered her eyes and saw that when the fingertips brushed the cumbersome and gorgeous carvings on the head, a force was unstable.

"Hai Niang?" The gentle female voice from behind her told Xue Hainiang to subconsciously put the scimitar into her wide sleeve, she turned around, and her slightly stunned expression was reflected in Liang Bairou's field of vision.

"What's wrong with you? Liang Bairou had already gotten into the carriage, lifted the corner of the curtain, and was smiling at her.

"Hmm, I'm wondering how I'm going to deal with the unknown when I go back to the palace. Xue Hainiang sighed lightly, looking up at the blue sky, at this moment the sky can already see the overlapping of thin clouds, the vast sky is not like the palace, at a glance all directions.

It's a pity that such a good scene will never be seen again when I return to the palace.

Such a chic and free day, the days when you don't have to restrict words and deeds will also be like a cloud of smoke. And what they need to face is countless swords and swords in front of them.

The fingertips were still sharpened by the cold and hard cumbersome carvings, but this time, Xue Hainiang tightened her strength without any sense.

This time I set off to return to Beijing, but it was rare to be calm.

It's just that Liang Bairou needs to rest more on the road because of her physical discomfort, so it is only a day or two more than when she came before.

Back in the palace, Xue Hainiang returned to the Yangxin Palace for the first time to find the chief eunuch to report the assassin of Foguang Temple.

The chief eunuch is Nan Jiuxi's confidant, and it is only appropriate for him to convey it to Nan Jiuxi.

"This time you served Concubine De Niangniang and let Niangniang give birth to the emperor's heir smoothly, you can be regarded as a great contribution, but you have thought about what reward you want to ask the emperor?"

Xue Hainiang's face was terrified, "How dare you, since the mother begged the slave and maid, then serving the mother is within the slave and maid's job, where do you dare to ask for a reward." ”

Lowered his head, looking humble and frightened.

The chief eunuch was very satisfied with this, but still said: "I know that you know how to measure, but when you should be good to yourself, don't treat yourself badly." After that, he leaned close to Xue Hainiang's ear and whispered: "You are meritorious now, the emperor and Niangniang will remember your loyalty, and you will serve the emperor kindly in the future, and you will have countless glory and wealth......"

When he said 'glory and wealth', he deliberately slowed down his tone, and his tone became more and more obscure.

The chief eunuch serves the emperor all day long, how can he not know what the other party has? The emperor has already had his own thoughts about Xue Hainiang. The reason why Xue Hainiang was never summoned to sleep was because she had a fun mind to play a game of boiling frogs in warm water, and secondly, it was rare to meet Xue Hainiang, a woman who was not in a hurry to climb to the dragon couch, and felt fresh.

Xue Hainiang turned a deaf ear and pretended to be stupid, "My father-in-law laughed, and now the slave and maid are counting on leaving the palace when they reach the end of the next year, and they can get a perfect marriage from the emperor." ”

When the chief eunuch heard this, he immediately tightened his eyebrows, and this was all said to this, if such a wise person still did not know how to climb up the pole, his mind would make people not know how to speculate.

The concubine of the Son of Heaven, what an honor.

Wouldn't it be more beautiful than her marrying any official in the court as the daughter of Shangshu in the future?

The chief eunuch thought about it and decided not to spend time entangled with Xue Hainiang here. At that time, if the emperor really had the heart to call her to sleep, how could she have the courage to disobey the emperor's order.

When I came back from the Heart Cultivation Temple, it was getting late.

Liang Bairou was uneasy, and even with dinner, she was picky and half-full, and when Qingfeng came to pay respects, Xue Hainiang was coming to the main hall, she hurriedly instructed Qingfeng to call the nurse to take the little prince down and feed.
