"A few days before I first arrived at the palace, the third sister actually sent someone to look for me. ”

She quickly glanced up at Han Rui's expression, hesitating whether to continue.

Han Rui was encouraging, it was rare for someone to take the initiative to say it, of course, she had to wait for her to finish.

After receiving encouragement, the eldest princess of Chuhe no longer hesitated, and finished all in one breath.

"Sister Chen thought that nothing would happen if she refused, but she never expected to find Miss Ning. ”

Han Rui smiled dumbly, and couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't you say it before?"

The head of the eldest princess of Chuhe was lowered, "I guessed that it would be her when the second sister had an accident, but I didn't dare to say it at that time, and then the Marquis of Yasukuni was heavily poisoned and unconscious, and I didn't dare to say it, I and my concubine were dispensable people in the palace in the past, and it was the second sister who gave me honor." ”

"So that's how you repay me?"

Han Rui felt that a stream of qi was rampaging through her internal organs, stirring up the qi and blood surging all over her body.

At first, she did suspect her, but later she didn't intercede for the Ning family, she understood the righteousness so well, but she never thought that she would do all this, just because of guilt.

"I thought it would be okay to say no to her. ”

There was already a cry in his voice.

The teacup in Han Rui's hand slammed on the table with a bang, and she let out a long breath, which easily dispelled the depression in her heart.

"Get up, it's good that you didn't help her. ”

They are all half-sisters, so why let the family choose themselves?

He did give her honor, so she didn't collude with Yan Ning to take her own life?

Thinking about it like this, she smiled dumbly, is it all so complicated?

The eldest princess of Chuhe was ashamed, and her face turned red.

"The younger sister has no shame to face the second sister anymore, and the younger sister retires. ”

The pastries on the table are still warm, sweet and soft in the mouth, but the people who make the pastries are only the back.

Han Rui wanted to speak out several times to keep him, but he still didn't.

Yasukunihou's body is getting better day by day, Han Rui didn't see him when he came to Qingfeng Ju again, and Peony smiled and replied that he went out.

"It seems that Master Hou's body is really good, and this palace should rest assured. ”

She left against Ling Tinglan's defensive gaze, but ran into Ling Xin at the door.

He was dressed in plain clothes, his hair was only tied up with a hosta, and his body was a little thinner, but his eyes were still shining.

"The minister has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

"Master Hou's body is good now?"

"Thank you for the eldest princess's concern, now that her body has healed, she just went to practice martial arts. ”

Sure enough, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

"That's good. ”

Ling Xin is in good health, and he is not afraid of any small moves in southern Xinjiang, the crisis has been resolved, and now he has to start to let the people from the Ministry of Rites go to southern Xinjiang to make peace.

It's as if everything is going on its own preset track.

She went to Zhaoyang Palace with a brisk expression, the mother and son were still reviewing the folds, and Ning Xiang was pointing out the young emperor on the side, and her demeanor was even more respectful than before.

"The son has seen the queen mother. ”

She saluted respectfully, and Ning Xiang hurriedly got up from the young emperor to salute her.

"The old minister has seen the eldest princess. ”

"Ning Xiang is loyal to the country, there is no need to make a big salute, there is something here in this palace. ”

Ning Xiang suddenly pricked up his ears, not knowing what kind of "surprise" this princess could bring to herself. ”

"Eldest princess, please speak. ”

Han Rui sat beside the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Now that Miss Ning has entered Southern Xinjiang, and Yasukuni has recovered, it is better to let the Ministry of Rites send someone to Southern Xinjiang and ask the King of Southern Xinjiang to hand over the abolished prince and Yan Ning and others." ”

"That's right, this matter has been discussed before, and now it's time to put it on the agenda, who is suitable for Ning Xiang?"

The Queen Mother turned her head sideways to look at Ning Xiang.

Seeing that he was really shocked, he hurriedly screened several officials of the Ministry of Rites in his mind, "The old minister thinks that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the most suitable." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites was also promoted by himself, so he could also inquire about his daughter's news.

The moment he looked back at this little bit of caution was written on his face.

Han Rui stared at his pair of jade hands carefully.

"I think the second son of the Ning family is very suitable. ”

Ning Xiang felt that everything in front of him was spinning around, and he was covered in cold sweat.

In his heart, he cursed his eldest daughter again, the second son is about to become the emperor's brother-in-law, and at this time he will go to southern Xinjiang, if he is killed by the abolished prince and the third princess, how can it be good?

Of course he is 10,000 unwilling, but the eldest daughter has only committed a heinous crime for a few days, do you dare to do it at this time?

He weighed the pros and cons in his mind for a long time, Han Rui and the Queen Mother drank tea and talked by themselves, waiting for his answer.

Finally, he straightened his tongue and bowed down.

"It is the blessing and duty of a courtier to be able to do his best for Dazhao. ”

Han Rui and the Queen Mother smiled knowingly.

"Ning Xiang is really a model of loyalty to the country, if the second prince can persuade the king of southern Xinjiang to hand over the abolished prince and Yan Ning, the emperor will reuse the second prince. ”

This is a pun, how can Ning Xiang, the old fox, not understand, but how can he control the situation in front of him?

"The old minister bowed for his grace. ”

As soon as the young emperor waited for him to leave, he pointed out the ones that Ning Xiang had just pointed out to the queen mother, and his tone was pertinent: "No wonder my father ordered him to assist me, he is indeed talented." ”

"Of course, Ning is also a champion for a long time, familiar with the classics, and has a degree of advance and retreat, and Ning Ergongzi has the demeanor of a father. ”

"Could it be that the imperial sister wants to cultivate the second son of Ning?"

The young emperor reacted extremely quickly.

"I have seen Ning Ergongzi a few times, the light wind and the moon, no better than Ning Xiang's camp, the emperor can be gracious in the future. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.

The days in the palace began to get boring again, and every day Miss Liding and Jiang Ting came to the Churui Palace to talk to Han Rui.

At dusk, the floor of the courtyard baked by the scorching sun was dry and cracked, and the little eunuch was fetching water and watering the flowers.

Rouge brought in a bowl of white fungus soup, "The princess tasted it, and the slave maid asked people to put a few sour plums in it." ”

Han Rui took it and tasted it, the fresh fragrance of white fungus had the sweetness and sourness of sour plum, it was indeed different, and she drank it in one go.

Jiang Ting and Ding Yuehua came in together, and they could already smell the fragrance.

"It's time to catch up today, what kind of good things does my cousin eat, and he won't reward us with a bowl?"

Han Rui put down the empty bowl, "Sit down, Rouge asked the people in the kitchen to add sour plums to the white fungus, the taste is really different, you can also taste it." ”

Two small bowls of white fungus soup were presented, and Ding Yuehua and Jiang Ting ate it very deliciously.

"My cousin's food here is better, and I'll eat it tomorrow. ”

Jiang Ting is coquettish again, since she moved to Churui Palace, her life has become better and better, her behavior has become more and more dignified, and she has lost her former childishness, but she has become closer to Ding Yuehua.

"Okay, tomorrow, let's let the dining room roast the lamb for us to eat." ”

There was no news from the southern Xinjiang side for the time being, and Han Rui could only toss and eat.

"Okay, okay, it just so happens that the lotus seeds in the lake are ripe, why don't we pick some too." ”

The lotus flowers have long since bloomed, leaving behind palm-sized lotus canopies, and in the lotus canopies are crystal like jade lotus seeds.

Just go, Han Rui changed into her homely clothes, and before she reached the edge of the royal lake, she heard a quarrel, and the faint voice was quite familiar.

"Your sister doesn't want to use me anymore, and your family doesn't have anything good. ”

Han Rui couldn't help but slow down.
