You must know that even between her and Qin Guifei, they only said a few words, and they did not reach any alliance.

At this time, Qin Guifei would not show up to say anything.

In addition to the congratulatory gift from the Dongjun Palace, there was also a gift that surprised Hua Zhen, which was sent by Xiao Huaijin, the prince of Yanbei.

What Xiao Huaijin sent was a painting painted by Xing Rong, a master of the Southern Dynasty, and a picture of Longma offering a river.

Mama Cao looked at Xiao Huaijin's name, and couldn't help but be stunned: "When did the county lord have a friendship with the prince of Yanbei?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen had to shake her head helplessly: "It's not a friendship, it's just that Xiao Shizi and I have a life-saving grace, when I first returned to Beijing, I was assassinated, if it wasn't for Xiao Shizi saving me and Jiaoyue in Yongzhou City, I'm afraid I don't know where I am today." ”

Listening to Hua Zhen's words, Mama Cao couldn't help but gasp: "Who wants to kill Miss?"

"It doesn't matter, the person who wants to kill me will do it again if he doesn't succeed once. Hua Zhen said, but her eyes kept falling on the painting of the dragon horse offering river in her hand, and she knew in her heart that Xiao Huaijin was sending the painting at this time, but she was afraid that she was reminding her not to forget the agreement between them.

Thinking about it in his heart, he immediately said: "Aunt Zhou, you go and prepare a generous gift and send it to the palace where the prince of Yanbei lives." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the gift list sent by Prince Li's Mansion: "I will find some suitable ones to send among these things, just say that it is the life-saving grace of Prince Xie Xiao." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Mama Cao, turned around and returned to the west room, and wrote a letter: "Send this to Xiao Shizi's hands." ”

Mama Cao glanced at the letter, didn't say anything, just stood silently aside.

Aunt Zhou took the letter and turned around to go down to make arrangements.

Waiting for no one in the house, Mama Cao spoke: "County Lord, this Yanbei Xiao Shizi's entry into Beijing this time is a matter of negotiation and marriage, one is the matter of Xiao Lingjun, the county lord of Yanbei, marrying into Dayan, and the other is that Xiao Shizi also needs to marry a noble girl from the capital as the princess. The county lord had close contacts with Xiao Shizi at this time, but he was afraid that it would cause people to misunderstand, and if someone took advantage of the matter of making a fuss about his relatives, he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the county lord. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Mama Cao and shook her head: "Mama is too worried, I still have a year of my father's funeral, even if the emperor has the heart, Yanbei is willing, I can't deal with any family affairs, and when my father's funeral expires, too many things can be changed in a year." At that time, Xiao Shizi's family affairs were afraid that it had been for an unknown amount of time, and it was fine. ”

When Mama Cao saw Hua Zhen say this, it was naturally not good to say anything else, she just wanted to remind Hua Zhen, since she knew.

In the middle of the afternoon, the butler brought something, but his face was a little strange.

Hua Zhen looked at a quaint box in the butler's hand, which was not as gorgeous as the congratulatory gifts in front of her, and the box was no more than three inches long and a palm wide, so it couldn't hold much.

When he saw Hua Zhen, the housekeeper's brows furrowed slightly: "County Lord, this is someone sent by the prince just now, and he said that he wanted to give it to the county lord." ”

"Prince?" Hua Zhen couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this, looked at the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, and just asked.

Listening to the housekeeper's response, he nodded: "Let's leave things here." ”

After saying that, he waited for the housekeeper to leave, and then picked up the box on the table.

Looking at the box, it looks very familiar, but I don't know exactly when I saw it.

Open and move away, there is a jasper hairpin lying inside, a piece of jade carved out of the shape of a peony at the top of the hairpin, but the appearance is not too exquisite, it looks a little shoddy, very much like a novice's clumsy work.

Looking at this jasper hairpin, Hua Zhen slowly remembered that when she was still in the palace, Queen Renxiao once rewarded her with a jasper hairpin, which was like this.

It's just that the carving is from the hands of a famous artist, it is very exquisite, and even the texture of the leaves is vivid, and she likes it very tightly.

But then she was interrupted by the prince's mistake, she was not very sensible at that time, and she was sad about this matter for a long time, and it was because of this that there were fewer words with the prince.

If it weren't for the queen's face, even if I saw it on weekdays, I wouldn't want to talk to him.

Now that I think about it, I did go too far with this cousin in my previous life, maybe for these reasons, so that after she returned to Beijing, the prince and her were very strange.

In the end, when his cousin was brutalized to death by Zhao Ting, he refused to look at himself again, for fear that what he did in his eyes would also disappoint him.

Hua Zhen played with the hairpin and pondered.

Mama Cao couldn't help but say: "At that time, I heard the prince say that he would compensate the county lord for an identical one, but I didn't expect the prince to make one himself, if the queen mother is still alive, I must be very happy." ”

Empress Renxiao has always kept Hua Zhen by her side, just to train her to be a person who can assist the prince to rule the world, but unfortunately Hua Zhen in her previous life was too weak, and there was a lot of resistance to the prince, so until the death of Empress Renxiao, she failed to let Hua Zhen marry the prince as a concubine.

Mama Cao has been following the queen all the time, so she naturally knows her thoughts, and now she can't help but feel a little happy when she sees Hua Zhen holding the hairpin.

He immediately spoke: "The prince really cares about the county lord, and he still keeps this little thing in mind." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded, but what she thought in her heart was different from Mama Cao, what she was thinking about was why the prince wanted to give this hairpin, but it was really just because she couldn't pay her a sentence at the beginning.

But when I thought of seeing the prince outside the gate of the Lin De Palace, I felt that this matter was not so simple.

Mama Cao didn't know, but continued: "Since the queen left, the emperor rarely summoned the crown prince, not only that, but even the third prince and the fourth prince, and even the fifth prince is more important than the prince. For more than a year, the prince was also very miserable in the palace, and the old slave was very distressed in his eyes, but there was no way. Now that the county lord has returned to Beijing, if the county lord can be the crown princess, and the county lord and the prince will support each other in the future, no one will be able to bully the prince, even the queen can rest assured. ”

Listening to Mama Cao's words, Hua Zhen's complexion changed slightly, this is it.

She always felt that there seemed to be something wrong, and she couldn't figure it out, but now listening to Mama Cao's words, she understands everything.

When I met the prince outside the Lin De Hall today, I felt strange in my heart when I saw the Fu Gonggong who was serving in the Lin De Hall daring to ignore the prince so much.

The eunuchs of the Lin De Hall are waiting by the emperor's side, and they are the most likely to judge the situation on weekdays and look at people's faces, even if the prince is no longer valued by the emperor, as long as he is not abolished for a day, he is the prince, and no matter how bold a slave is, he will not dare to have such an attitude towards the prince of a country.
