Xinyu opened her mouth, but the words of consolation still couldn't be said after all.

The estrangement between the imperial concubine and His Royal Highness King Qin is not a day's work, and after a long time, the affection has long been weakened, and the relationship between biological mother and son is not as good as that of passers-by.

Just when Xinyu was silently remembering the mother-son relationship between the imperial concubine and the king of Qin in the bottom of her heart, a palace maid outside said: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the King of Qin asks to see you." ”

The imperial concubine and Xinyu glanced at each other, their faces full of disgust: "What is he doing here?" ”

Xinyu persuaded: "Niangniang, let's see each other." ”

The imperial concubine picked up the wide-mouthed bowl, the bowl paused slightly on her lips, and spit out two words indifferently and lightly: "I don't see." ”

Xinyu knew that the imperial concubine was stubborn, and if she didn't see it, she would definitely not see it, she didn't persuade anything, she just answered yes, turned around and went out, ready to persuade the person blocking the door.

No matter how weak the relationship between mother and son is, it is better than becoming enemies.

Xinyu walked outside the palace gate and saw Xie Huiming's body as long as jade, standing in the wind, and his appearance was first-class.

But such a good King Qin and such a good imperial concubine, how could they quarrel without saying three sentences?

She sighed, stabilized her mind, walked in front of Xie Huiming and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness, Niangniang is a little tired today and has rested, please forgive Your Highness." ”

Xie Huiming's expression froze, grinned hard, did not speak, and walked into the bright spring light, the whole person was as lonely as autumn.

Xinyu hurriedly sighed, but Xie Huiming walked quickly, and before she could say anything, the person had already walked away.

She thought that Xie Huiming would ask a few more questions as in the past, ask how the imperial concubine was doing, how she was eating, and how she was in her mood, but who expected that today he didn't ask a word more, and just left.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head, this is good, if you don't become an enemy, you will become an enemy.

Xie Huiming walked under the remnant sun, but he didn't feel the warmth at all.

He couldn't remember when his relationship with his birth mother had become so distant.

Was it the first time he was enlightened and studied, and he was praised by his father?

Was it the first time he hunted in autumn when he hunted the prey and was rewarded by his father?

Was it the first time he had done a bad job and won the Sacred Heart and received his father's praise?

Or did he marry the princess chosen for him by his father, but did not listen to his mother?

He hugged his forehead in pain.

He is a concubine and a second son, and he should not have any unwillingness and ambition.

But his unwillingness and ambition have become bigger and bigger, and he has become more and more uncontrollable in the fact that his mother has turned a blind eye again and again and his father has praised and praised him again and again.

What if he is the second son of the concubine, he has both ability and political integrity than the eldest son, and he can achieve the cause of bathing in the sun and making up for the sky.

What if his mother is not a queen, with him, he can also earn her the supreme position.

But what he couldn't figure out was why the attitudes of his mother and his father and the emperor were so diametrically opposed.

Even though he is not his father's favorite son, he is the only son of the mother's concubine, the only child, why can the concubine never see him in her eyes.

When she looked at him, she only hated, only hated.

It seems that his existence is the biggest shame in her life.

He slowly clenched his hands, clenched them into fists, and slowly walked out of the palace gate, and boarded the long-awaited carriage in despair.

The little guy who was driving the car turned his head and asked through the quietly motionless curtain, "Your Highness, where are you going?" ”

Xie Huiming leaned heavily on the wall of the car, closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he said in a muffled voice: "Go home." ”

The sky was completely dark, and lanterns were lit up under the walls, and the faint light of the stars was like fireflies in summer, shining with a faint yellow light, illuminating a few bluestone slabs nearby.

Under the faint light of the lantern, along the wall of the fang, small food stalls were erected, and the fragrant boiling hot air spread out, meeting the lantern, and the faint light became more and more hazy.

The hawkers' cries were endless, and the soft and faint smell of fireworks entered the falling curtains.

Xie Huiming leaned against the wall of the car, squinting his eyes slightly, thinking about what happened in the Hanxiang Hall today.

He felt that the words that exonerated the prince were not leaky and inappropriate, but for some reason they caused his father to be angry.

It is a fact that Xie Mengxia stayed in the workshop overnight, and it is wrong for him to conceal the facts, but it is also for the sake of Xie Mengxia's face.

Could it be that the saint no longer cares about Xie Mengxia, the eldest son, and he doesn't care about his face or not.

In a trance, a burst of crisp fragrance swirled into the car with the wind, the smell was familiar but unfamiliar, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Stop." Xie Huiming suddenly raised his voice.

The little guy who was driving the car hurriedly reined in his horse and asked through the curtain, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

Xie Huiming lifted the curtain and looked at the steaming snack stall under the wall.

In the twilight, the people eating at the stalls are sitting or standing, holding large sea bowls in their hands, and a pale white heat is steaming on their faces.

Xie Huiming glanced over, saw a small food stall, stretched out his hand and nodded: "Go buy two ancient buildings." ”

The little guy was stunned for a moment, and it was easy to come back to his senses, and he went to buy two ancient buildings with a smoke, and ran back with a smoke.

The ancient building is just out of the pot, the layers of crispy and fragrant crust are shiny, pieces of roasted mutton are wrapped in the gap between the crust and the crust, the taste of mutton and various spices is mixed, and a strange fragrance fills the carriage.

Xie Huiming sniffed the pervasive fragrance, but he didn't eat it, only wrapped the two ancient buildings in oiled paper, raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the car twice: "Go." ”

The palace of the king of Qin is in the residence of the sixteen kings, not far from the palace city, driving through the lively and noisy streets and alleys, turning two corners, and driving to the front of the palace in the night.

Seeing that Xie Huiming had no intention of getting off the car, the porter opened the side door of the carriage very interestingly and welcomed the carriage into the house.

The carriage did not stop until it reached the second gate of the palace, and beyond that was where the ladies of the inner courtyard lived.

Xie Huiming helped the little servant's hand get out of the car, and said lightly: "Stand down." ”

Walking through the weeping flower gate, the two mothers-in-law who guarded the door saluted together, carefully looked at Xie Huiming, who was a little cold all over the place, and saw that although his face was not safe, he was not angry, so he walked into the inner courtyard, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A short and fat woman took a light breath, smelling the fragrance of mutton and pepper still in the air, she wrinkled the tip of her nose: "Sister Wang, do you smell it, it's the smell of Gulouzi." ”

The mother-in-law surnamed Wang is not tall, but she is thin, with a skinny face, quite serious, which looks very commensurate with this equally serious Qin Palace.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can Your Highness eat such crude things." Mrs. Wang hula hula arms, she felt that her unsmiling highness was a little colder than before, and when he walked over, she had goosebumps all over her arms.

"Well, that's right, Your Highness is like an immortal." The short and fat woman sneered, looking at the direction in which Xie Huiming had disappeared.

In her eyes, His Royal Highness, who is like an immortal, is not that he doesn't eat such a crude ancient building, but that he doesn't need to eat at all.

How do you say that, drink dew in the morning and look at the moon at night, yes, immortals don't need to eat.

But the fragrance of the ancient building is also real, and it is still lingering.

The short and fat woman took another breath, and said unwillingly: "Sister Wang, it's Gu Louzi." ”

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Humpty: "I know that you are a dog's nose, so you don't have to say it again and again." ”

The short and fat woman touched the tip of her nose and changed her words stupidly: "Doesn't it mean that His Royal Highness is not close to women, and he doesn't go into the inner courtyard for ten days and half a month, and the side concubines and concubines in the Manwang Mansion have become decorations, why has His Royal Highness been resting in the inner courtyard for three days in a row, and I don't know which concubine room to rest in." ”

Mrs. Wang's gaze became a little colder, and she glanced at the short and fat woman: "Where is Your Highness resting, can you ask such a miscellaneous woman, if you don't know how to write the two words transgression, you will have to be beaten to death sooner or later." ”

The short and fat woman shuddered for a moment, but her face really didn't show a little scared, and the words she said were even more unobstructed: "Hey, it's not that there are no outsiders, I just talked to my sister a few words, I heard that there is a peerless beauty hidden in the maple forest in the inner courtyard at night, Your Royal Highness came back to the inner courtyard ten times, and eight times she went to her to spend the night, sister, you have been on an errand in the palace for a long time, but you have seen that one, I heard that it looks amazing." ”

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard this, she slapped the short and fat woman on the shoulder, and screamed in a low voice: "I'm going to die, even the people around His Highness dare to gossip, something really happened, don't say that I don't take care of you." ”

The short and fat woman knew that she couldn't say anything this time, and she also knew that if she wanted to hurry, she couldn't force it too hard, revealing her flaws, so she only rubbed her sore shoulder, and said with a dry smile: "Hey, my sister is wrong, don't say it, don't say it." ”

It was completely dark, and the lanterns under the eaves of the porch lit up one after another, illuminating the bluestone pavement that winded by.

The blue-gray stone slab is carved with a shallow lotus pattern, one is non-slip, the other is decorative, walking on such a stone road with lotus step by step, the deep inner courtyard is not so lonely and unbearable.

When Xie Hui turned sixteen next year and left the palace to live, he was named the king of Qin, and when he built this palace of the king of Qin, he followed the rules of the prince everywhere, neither the slightest disrespect, nor the slightest low.

is very much like him, his ambitions are hidden in indifference, and he doesn't know when, he will show his claws.

He stepped on the fine fragments of light, and the endless lotus flowers all over the ground were alive and fragrant in the light and shadow.

Xie Huiming walked through the carved and painted verandah, teased the birds hanging in the cage under the porch, and raised his eyes to see the murmuring of the blue water beside the craggy and strange rocks, a tree with green leaves, and a cluster of beautiful flowers, which was actually an elegant and beautiful scene that he had never paid close attention to.

He paused for a moment.
