Gong smiled and nodded silently, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

As soon as he returned to the Blue Courtyard to take a rest, Steward Zhou came over to summon him, saying that someone was looking for him by name.

Is there no one in the capital? Who is looking for himself?

Xiaoluo followed Steward Zhou along the lakeside road into the circular corridor, and asked casually on the way: "Butler, can my stepmother rest!" "Miss Huihui is sleeping, she was busy enough a few days ago, and she explained yesterday that she wanted to rest by herself, don't disturb her if she has nothing to do." Steward Zhou not only answered thoughtfully, but also had a respectful expression. After saying this, he bowed slightly, and then continued walking.

Xiaoluo was thoughtful.

Xiao Luo, as a cousin who waits for her family, is naturally not qualified to pick up customers in the lobby. Steward Zhou took him to Beitingli in the West Cross Courtyard.

It would be the eldest prince who came to find him!

Now that he knows that Commander Li is the eldest prince, Xiaoluo knows how to be polite and hurried, and bows his head and salutes.

The eldest prince stepped forward and said, "Girl, don't let it be because of your cousins, brothers and sisters. There is no need to make this big gift. ”

Xiaoluo slandered in his heart: The cousin and sister are fake. It's also fake to want to use your own luggage, isn't this for the world to see?

However, slander in my heart is slander, but I still bowed very seriously, and then sat down on the left side.

She also sipped the tea silently.

It's really my own request for this cousin in front of me, otherwise it would be much higher than the cultivation of the great prince of concentration.

"The day before yesterday, you and Zhao Qi went to Minglinglou to borrow a phoenix blood guqin. I wonder if my cousin can go with me again? ”

These two brothers are really strange, they just went with their younger brother yesterday, and their brother is going to go today, could it be that there is something wrong with this Linglou?

"But you can, ask your stepmother." After that, he glanced at the good lady standing next to him.

Liang Niang is worthy of being good at personnel, and said softly but not too much at the moment: "Girl, Miss Hui has already ordered that there is no need to touch her lightly for the past two days. ”

The eldest prince stepped forward and said, "Even if Cousin Hui has something to say first, my sister doesn't have to ask anymore." ”

The sister on the left and the sister on the right are really affectionate now.

I don't know what's going on, the two brothers give themselves a completely different impression, seeing Zhaoqi always wants to fight with him, but when she sees Zhaoye, she always wants to push away, and I don't know what's going on. Is it because he is the same age as Zhaoqi? Xiaoluo can't say.

Right now, she doesn't want to go to Minglinglou anymore! But she didn't know what reason to refuse, and she froze there for a while.

"Miss, Miss is not good!" Qiu'er ran out of breath and grabbed Xiaoluo's hand that was talking to the tea and shouted, "Oh no, Miss!" There is water on Zhengyang Street, and there is a fiery red bright light. ”

Xiaoluo was shocked, and before she could get up, the eldest prince took the lead in rushing through the arcade to the courtyard gate and saw it outside, and sure enough, there was a fiery red, which seemed to be the direction of the Mingling Tower.

There was no time to say more, the eldest prince took a horse and rode away.

Xiaoluo knew that he could see more clearly along the lake, so he followed Liangniang and Qiu'er to the lake, and sure enough, the light was bright. Under this blue sky and white sun, you can still walk like this? Xiaoluo was surprised in her heart, thinking of Yu Ling'er, and she didn't know what happened to this girl?

After watching it for a while, Xu is eyes are a little tired! She returned to her study in the backyard.

In the study, Linggui stood as usual, all the books on the shelves had been new, and they had all been wiped with a rag. Xiaoluo thought about the arrangement of the uprising mother that day, so he asked,

"Is Yu Ling'er the daughter of Yu Niang?"

Linggui was slightly surprised, but she didn't expect Xiaoluo to guess it so quickly, but she didn't dare to say these secrets, so she didn't say anything and just looked at her.

"If I'm right, just nod your head, and if I'm wrong, just stand there."

Linggui nodded knowingly

"Yu Niang is the mother of Yu Ling'er?"

Linggui nodded.

"Yu Niang is the master of her stepmother?"

Linggui didn't say anything.

"It's my stepmother who is going to burn down this Linglou!"

Linggui still stood there blankly.

It seems that she doesn't know much either.

"Linggui, can you tell me about your background?" Xiaoluo felt that everyone around her was not simple, she didn't know their true identities, like a pool of deep water.

"Miss, we are all slaves bought by Yanfu, where is it worth paying attention to Miss Biao!"

"I know that all of you were arranged by your stepmother, and I know in my heart whether my stepmother is good or bad for me, but in the future, we will be people who get along day and night, don't you tell me the truth?"

"The slave maid once stayed in the Xizhou palace with Sister Hui."

Xizhou Palace? Xiaoluo looked at her in disbelief, and subconsciously touched the chicken blood jade pendant in his hand, with an excited look on his face. She tore off this and stretched it out in front of Linggui's eyes,

"Do you know this?"

This action really startled Xiaoluo, she took a few steps back and looked at it fixedly: "The slave doesn't know this!" ”

Xiao Luo tried his best to restrain the ups and downs in his heart, and endured his temperament and asked, "What are you doing in the Xizhou Palace?" ”

"The slave maid just went to the Xizhou Mansion as Sister Hui's dowry maid, and the slave and maid waited with her when the young lady lived in the Xizhou Palace."

"Where's the King of Xizhou?"

"In the Western State!"

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

"No, it's just that our young lady is with us a few girls."

Xiaoluo had an aura of smelling the truth, she tried to calm down her excited mentality, and continued to ask, "Why did you go to live in Xizhou Palace?" ”

"Miss Hui used to be just married to Her Majesty, and she is the princess of Xizhou!"

"Princess Xizhou?" Xiaoluo muttered to himself, the master said that he was sent by the king of Xizhou to send him over, and his stepmother Yan Hui is the princess of Xizhou, so himself?

For a moment, Xiaoluo wanted to run to Yan Hui to question clearly.

She remembered what Yan Hui said when she returned the chicken blood jade pendant in the Earth Dragon Cliff: "This jade pendant is related to your life experience, and it is useless for me to hold it." ”

She remembered the first time Yan Hui called herself in the gossip forest: "Luo'er".

A lot of scenarios come together, and Xiaoluo is a little unclear.

At present, only by finding out the life and deeds of the king of Xizhou can we sort out a little clue!

"Where is the Xizhou Palace?" If you want to come to a generation of military generals and princes, there is always your own mansion in the capital.

"It's gone, the fire from the sky is all in ruins!"

"What?" Xiaoluo sat on the chair and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Ten years ago, the Yan Mansion was not here, and Master Yan practiced the pill quietly. But since a fire burned down the Xizhou Mansion ten years ago, this place has just been given to the Yan Mansion and a new Hou Mansion has been built. Speaking of this, Linggui felt a kind of pain on his face, as if he had experienced this firsthand.

"A fire from above? Are the people in Xizhou Wangfu okay? Xiaoluo didn't believe it.

"It's just a lot of slaves!" After that, she covered her face and wept.

Xiao Luo stood up and slowly pulled away her hand, the tears on her face made Xiao Luo guess that it was very likely that her relatives would be lost in this sea of fire.

"Your family?"

"Yes, my father and mother, that's it!"

"Don't you always look sad or happy, you must hate this fire very much!" Xiaoluo explained.

"No, it's their fate! Yanfu also gave me two silver compensation. Wiping the tears from his eyes, there was not much sadness on Ling Gui's stubborn face.

Maybe if you release the pain in your heart, you will feel too much better.

As for her later choices, she also has her own difficulties.

"So when you saw the fire on Zhengyang Street today, you didn't come to report it!" Xiaoluo reacted immediately, and had the best sight on Zhengyang's side in the blue courtyard, but Qiu'er, who was in the kitchen, rushed over to tell him that they were indifferent to the fire?

"No, I didn't see it, Miss Cousin, I'm in the study."

"You didn't leave Yanfu because of your stepmother!"

Linggui didn't speak, and nodded.

It seems that this person is not easy to buy, and in the end, I am afraid that only the stepmother is the only one who will serve her life, thinking of this, Xiaoluo feels that the stepmother is her most affectionate and righteous, as if she lives under the protection of her stepmother.

"The four of you have been to the Xizhou Royal Mansion with your stepmother?"

Linggui nodded.
