Before the autumn hunt, the court affairs are even busier.

Qin Yuan sometimes even stayed in the study, but Ning Xi didn't care, and the Queen Mother asked young people to accompany her from time to time, so she took Meng Tao there.

Meng Tao trembled all the way, and there was such a big movement last time, it was impossible for the princess not to know.

Therefore, her heart is always hanging, wondering when the princess will punish her.

I was worried all day long, so that I lost a lot of weight.

Ning Xi saw everything about Meng Tao in her eyes, but she was still silent, she was already in the game, and she was waiting to watch the play.

In Cining Palace, before the Queen Mother's lunch break, she asked Mama to teach Ning Xi and Guo Zhi to embroider some handkerchiefs to pass the time.

Ning Xi took out the needle and thread and embroidered it casually boredly.

Guo Zhi turned her head from time to time to see what she was embroidering.

The embroidery of this indigenous county lord is really bad

But the hands are extremely good-looking, white and flawless, and the complexion is also ruddy, which shows that he has lived an excellent life in Prince Yuan's mansion.

Thinking of her grievances in Qin Rui's mansion again, the embroidery needle pierced her finger without paying attention, and a sharp pain struck, making her face gloomy.

The little white cat next to Ning Xi's lap suddenly flicked the cat's tail and climbed onto Ning Xi's lap.

[Host, Qin Rui is coming to the Empress Dowager's Palace.] ]

A flash of light flashed in Ning Xi's eyes, and he looked up at Meng Tao who was standing on the side waiting.

"Meng Tao, when you come, you see that the osmanthus flowers in the garden of Cining Palace are blooming just right, you go and pick some fresh ones back, and make some osmanthus cakes for the Queen Mother to taste."

Meng Tao felt that the atmosphere in the hall was boring, and when she heard her words, she was immediately relieved, and hurriedly nodded and went out.

She didn't expect that as soon as she arrived at the garden, she saw the fourth prince coming towards her.

Qin Rui also saw Meng Tao at this time.

He stood on the side of the rockery and beckoned to her, "Mengtao, come here." ”

Meng Tao hesitated for a moment, glanced around and saw that there was no one else, and then walked over.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

Qin Rui originally heard that Pingyang had entered Cining Palace, thinking that he hadn't met for so long and had not come to take a look, but he never thought that he would see Meng Tao.

Take a closer look, Meng Tao's dress is somewhat similar to Pingyang.

Meng Tao was stared at by him, a little uncomfortable for a while, and her heart couldn't help beating, and she called out with a red face, "Your Highness? ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Meng Tao subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.

was pulled into the rockery by Qin Rui.

Meng Tao's face was undecently red, and she wanted to break away from his hand.

Qin Rui raised his eyebrows, let go of his hand and leaned in front of the rockery, "This king asks you something." ”

Meng Tao heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

If it is seen by others and reaches Guo Zhi's ears, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Qin Rui looked at her face and asked, "You've been to Prince Yuan's Mansion for a while, haven't you?" ”

"Yes" Meng Tao didn't know what he meant, the two of them were in the rockery at this time, and in this somewhat dim environment, she couldn't help but have a little charming thoughts.

Who would have thought that this man's next question made her whole heart cold.

"What is the daily relationship between Uncle Huang and the county lord of Pingyang?"

Meng Tao turned around and didn't look at Qin Rui, "The slave is just a maid, how can I know about the master." ”

Qin Rui made it clear that he didn't believe it, "The Queen Mother sent you to Prince Yuan's mansion, and it was clear that she was going to let you get close to the imperial uncle, why don't you know?" ”

When he said these words, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In his dreams, he was all his woman, but now he is the emperor's uncle.

Meng Tao muttered, "What did Your Highness say, the slave maid can't get close to King Yuan's side at all, and the princess is guarding against it!" ”

"She cares so much about Uncle Huang." Qin Rui felt a dense and uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

Seeing this, Meng Tao was worried that someone would find out if she stayed here for too long, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

Qin Rui grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

Meng Tao's head was blank, so he had to let him do it.

If it weren't for the sound of footsteps outside, she would have become the woman of the Four Princes in this rockery.

Meng Tao's fingers trembled, she sorted out her clothes and hair and went out to pick osmanthus flowers, and her mind was full of what happened during this time.

Compared with Prince Yuan, she is more willing to be close to the four princes.

After all, Guo Zhi currently has a concubine in the Four Princes' Mansion, and the mistress of Prince Yuan's Mansion is the county lord, so she must not offend.

Coupled with Prince Yuan's posture that he could strangle her to death with one hand, she must find another way out as soon as possible.

At this moment, there was a great road in front of her

……

Qin Rui returned to the palace and thought of Meng Tao's words, and his heart was upset.

In the dream, his imperial uncle was not a simple person, and the relationship between the court and the Chinese government was intertwined, no wonder even his father did not dare to touch him.

If such a person is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will become a great disaster in the future!

Take this disaster relief, on the surface, the eldest prince and the prime minister's people are fighting, but in fact, the imperial uncle is the one who is behind the scenes.

In the dream, the imperial uncle will further expand his influence in the court through this disaster relief.

Since he has the prophet of dreams, how can he not plan well, strive to become the prince as soon as possible, and firmly hold the power in his hands in the future.

When the time comes, it is not impossible to kill the emperor's uncle and take Pingyang back.

Thinking of this, he immediately invited his staff to the study to discuss the matter.

……

Ning Xi was lying on the bed tossing and turning, Qin Yuan hadn't come back to rest for a few days, or waited for her to fall asleep before coming back.

I couldn't sleep, so I simply got up and went to the study with a lantern to look for him.

"Squeak-" The door to the study was pushed open.

Qin Yuan followed the sound and saw the princess coming in her clothes.

He immediately put down the fold in his hand and greeted him, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?" ”

"Can't sleep."

Qin Yuan pulled her to sit down in front of the desk, "This king hasn't been able to go back to the room on time to sleep on time these days, are you angry?" ”

"Recently, a lot of things have happened in the court, and there are more affairs to deal with, and the morning is going to be early, so the king will simply squint in the study for a while."

"If you don't get angry, I'm afraid you'll burn your body." Ning Xi's fingers poked at his chest.

Qin Yuan hugged her tightly in his arms, his chin against the top of her head, "Whether this king is in good health or not, the princess knows best." ”

As he spoke, he pinched her nose.

Ning Xi snorted lightly, "If you haven't gone back to your room to rest for so long, others will think that your study is too delicate." ”

Qin Yuan looked at her with a deep gaze.

"When did this king ever think of taking a concubine?"

"Or are you still thinking about leaving the palace with Heli, princess?"

Ning Xi pursed his lips and simply stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, "Then it depends on whether you treat me well, Lord Wang." ”

Qin Yuan hugged her on the long case, leaned over and kissed her on the lips, and then smiled, "Huh? What does it take to treat you well? ”

The cold desk made her blush, plus this was a study, and Qin Yuan's personal guards were guarding outside on weekdays.

The slightest movement inside will be captured.
