As soon as Han Xiaoxiao and the queen walked out of the gate of the courtyard with their front feet, they heard a crisp sound of a cup falling to the ground behind them.

The queen was not angry, she just raised her hand to support her hair bun, paused and continued to walk towards her palace with Han Xiaoxiao.

Han Xiaoxiao saw that the queen didn't mean to speak and didn't dare to say much, so she followed quietly behind.

The two of them didn't walk for a while, and a team of palace maids and eunuchs came not far away, and the queen raised her hand as if she was accustomed to it, and those people honestly followed the two people not far behind.

"This is my first time in the palace, and if there is anything unruly, I hope that the mother will mention one or two. ”

The queen glanced at her obliquely, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Where are there any noble rules in the current palace, those names are just used to fool honest people, I don't think you are such a fool." ”

Han Xiaoxiao didn't expect the queen to be so straightforward, it was just a polite sentence, but at this time, she put herself to death, and what the queen said was disrespectful whether she agreed or not.

Thinking of this, Han Xiaoxiao waved his hand again and again, and did not make a sound on his lips.

The queen lowered her head and lifted her skirt and slowly crossed the threshold, her voice was still so indifferent: "You don't have to be afraid, if I really want to harm you in the palace of Concubine Cheng, I will do it, why bring you out." ”

Han Xiaoxiao felt that there was nothing wrong with this at first glance, but experience made him no longer trust anyone in the palace.

"Niangniang said this, she is still in the palace, you are the queen, and I didn't make a mistake, why should you bother with me. ”

The queen secretly admired in her heart, and said in her heart that this person was not very old, but his scheming was quite deep.

Thinking of this, the queen quietly glanced at her personal palace maid, and the palace maid immediately quietly ran in the opposite direction.

If ordinary people would definitely not be able to pay attention to the wrongness of the two people, but Han Xiaoxiao is an ordinary person with five senses after all, and he found the palace maid who left in a hurry at the first time, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

The queen didn't know anything, turned her head and smiled kindly at Han Xiaoxiao: "At this time, there is nothing to see in the imperial garden, let's take a path back, there is still bird's nest soup stewed in my palace, you can taste the difference between it and the outside of the palace in a while." ”

The queen no longer made those rebellious remarks, which made Han Xiaoxiao a lot easier, and promised repeatedly: "It's natural, it's just to disturb the mother." ”

The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth became more profound, and she waved her hand indifferently and said slowly: "It's not important, no one will come to my place for ten days and half a month, and you will be lively for a while." ”

Han Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, looking at the increasingly gray palace wall, she was very puzzled, "Why is the wall outside the Niangniang palace this color?

A little eunuch in the corner instantly gasped when he heard this, and wanted to step forward to say something, but the queen waved her hand indifferently, and gently touched the wall as she walked.

"Speaking of allusion, this is the spice painted wall that the emperor personally appreciated when I married the emperor, but after a long time, the color has faded, and it has become like this, speaking of which, I think of the first color of this wall, so bright red and beautiful, but unfortunately it will not last long after all. ”

Han Xiaoxiao stepped forward and sniffed the wall, and then said slowly: "This should be painted with rosemary, this kind of herb is very rare, not to mention, the taste is also very long-lasting, but it is really not suitable for use on the wall, it will not only fade by itself, but also erode the wall, this wall may not stand for long, Niangniang should find someone to repair it." ”

The queen's body was shocked, and the surprise on her face could not be concealed: "Do you mean that this wall will collapse?" ”

Han Xiaoxiao stopped with a smile, pulled out a sterling silver hairpin from his head, and slowly inserted it against the crack in the wall, only to see that an extremely obvious crack appeared in the originally solid wall in an instant.

The little eunuch exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Han Xiaoxiao's intention to continue, "Girl, please stop, this is absolutely unacceptable, this wall is the most precious of our mother, wouldn't it be ruined if you make it like this." ”

Han Xiaoxiao looked at the queen's eyes with obvious pity, shook her head silently, wiped the hairpin in her hand and brought it back to her head.

"Even if this wall is not done anything, it can only be kept for a year and a half, even if the mother likes it, she will give it up, this kind of thing that does not last long is also terrifying, why not find another way out, and build a better one. ”

This was a pun, and the queen frowned and glanced at the wall, then turned and walked forward.

Han Xiaoxiao followed slowly, without the slightest weakness on his face that he had said the wrong thing, and the little eunuch who saw it on the side only trembled in his heart.

"I'm familiar with what you say, and when the prince came, he often said that he would repaint this wall, but I was reluctant to drag it all the time, and I didn't expect you to say the same thing as him. ”

Han Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and knew that the queen had not finished speaking, so she didn't say anything, and looked straight at the queen's back and waited for the next sentence.

Sure enough, the queen paused for a while and found that Han Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, so she spoke slowly: "You guys have your own calculations in your hearts, I don't want to get involved in the affairs of juniors, but today Concubine Cheng also saw it, King Cheng's mother and son are not tolerant of people, do you really have a way out if you follow them?"

Han Xiaoxin said that he had finally gotten to the point, coughed and said slowly: "Thank you for the queen's concern, but you also know the prince's temperament, I really don't think that we will get a better end than becoming a king if we join the prince." ”

Even if the queen doesn't like the prince's character, this is her only son, even if she suppresses her anger, she still can't help but feel uncomfortable, and she snorted coldly and pushed open the palace door that was close at hand.

Han Xiaoxiao didn't care about the queen's attitude, just looked at the courtyard in front of her cautiously, and saw that this courtyard was still simple and elegant, but many of the things in it looked old, exuding an old atmosphere.

The queen noticed Han Xiaoxiao, who was still at the door, rolled her eyes and said lightly: "Just come in with confidence, I can still harm you in the palace? Besides, do you see what else can harm people in my current palace?"
