As soon as he got out of the carriage, Du Baoyi immediately adjusted his expression and mood.

Isn't her aunt helping her this time telling her to be obedient and to focus on the overall situation?

Before being strong enough, all grievances and unwillingness must be endured.

She walked straight towards the Zhilan Palace as usual.

Yuzhan carried a delicate little basket, which contained all kinds of novelty gadgets and picture books she had picked up from outside the palace, all of which were her cousin's favorites.

The goose-yellow short skirt is paired with a light blue pleated skirt, the head of the bag is tied with an emerald green ribbon, and a circle of small beads is saved, and the white rabbit-shaped mutton fat jade pendant hangs from the waist, swaying with the steps.

The steps are cheerful and light, the expression is lively and pleasing, and the small mouth is like smeared with honey, and the sweet and lovely appearance is like a spring breeze.

So much so that almost everyone believed that those rumors were all made up by others, how could such a cute little county lord be so unbearable?

It must be someone else who spread rumors! Didn't you see how much she looks like Du Houye?

If she was really the illegitimate daughter of the emperor, how could Concubine Lu and King Yan still love her like before?

If she is really the illegitimate daughter of the Emperor, the Emperor and the Emperor have always been on the same page, how can she still support her?

As for the Emperor Taishang giving her a generous gift, hehe, has his old man been born less in recent years?

It must be that he wanted to stir up the wind and rain on purpose, and he didn't see that the emperor emptied his private treasury in order to vent his anger to the county lord of Baoyi?

"Sister Baoyi!" Du Baoyi was stunned, it turned out to be Chai Rui, the king of Qi, who naturally had a different position, a life-and-death relationship.

Although Du Baoyi has never faced Chai Rui and his younger brother Ning Wang Chai Jun openly, he has always been vigilant and tries not to provoke or get close.

Chai Rui was dressed in a prince's regular dress embroidered with stone blue and bamboo, and he was already ten years old, and he was surprised when he looked at her.

Although his parents are martial arts, he is on the cusp of winning the heir, but he has always been lazy and inactive.

His appearance follows both his father and his mother, he is tall and upright, with a slightly larger skeleton, but he follows the Ji family.

The Chai family has a little eyebrows and eyes, their faces are delicate and angular, and their nose bones are protruding, which looks a little sharp.

Although the cousin's appearance was neutralized by the sweetness and gentleness of the aunt, the characteristics of the Chai family were still obvious.

Chai Rui's appearance mostly follows his mother.

The eyebrows and eyes are open, the face is slightly square, the black and white eyes look innocent and enthusiastic, and because they are lazy and easy to eat, they are white and fat, and they like to wear bright clothes, which looks really pleasing.

Only the bridge of the nose is exactly the same as that of the Chai family, tall and straight, with a prominent nose bone, and the lips are also sharp and angular, similar to his father.

Du Baoyi didn't dare to despise him at all.

Where can a person who has been carefully cultivated by the Ji family to seize the throne be so innocent and honest as he seems to be?

In this palace, except for my cousin Ruizhu, who has always been too well protected, how can there be any real children in the rest?

Just like her, in this palace, innocence and cuteness are disguises, honesty and likability are disguises, and simplicity and weakness are also disguises.

She lowered her head, deliberately kept her distance from him, and respectfully bowed:

"His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Chai Rui said with some loss:

"Sister Baoyi, you are the cousin of the second emperor brother, that is, my cousin.

Don't be so angry in the future, just call me Cousin Rui, and Xiao Jun is the same, just call him Cousin Jun. ”

Du Baoyi was about to refuse politely, but a strange thought suddenly flashed in her heart, and she didn't catch it.

Before she really thought it through, her mind had changed rapidly, she raised her head, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and she shouted sweetly:

"Cousin Rui!" The voice is sweet and pleasant, and the innocent and beautiful little face is very cute because of the fast red walking.

Yuzhan also had a strange feeling in her heart, Miss was a little unusual today.

Chai Rui couldn't help laughing: "Sister Baoyi is so cute!" You can often play with me in the future, and I will be next to the palace of the second emperor brother. ”

Du Baoyi became more and more innocent and well-behaved, nodding again and again like a chicken pecking rice.

Chai Rui took off the purse around his waist, took out a small piece and handed it to her.

It turned out to be a yellow-brown jade carved monkey, although the jade quality is average, but it is delicate and delicate, vivid and very cute.

Du Baoyi took it and looked at it, a little in love, and seemed embarrassed to take the love.

"This is Cousin Rui's beloved thing, how can I be embarrassed to take people's love?"

"If you call me cousin, this is a gift to you.

You're going to Laneige Palace, right? Then you go quickly, I have to leave beforehand, and when you go to school, come and play with me! ”

Chai Rui didn't entangle, he sent something and strode away, and Du Baoyi felt even more good in his heart.

As for why he didn't go to school today, she didn't ask.

I only know that everyone says that King Qi is not energetic at all, and often finds various excuses to take leave and skip class, so it will not be exposed.

She thought about it, put the jade monkey in her purse, and the two looked at each other silently, and the thought that had always arisen in her heart at the same time:

Chai Jie can't do it, Chai Rui can also do it.

That time, she thought she had thought of a good way and entered the palace in a hurry, but she was blocked by her aunt and didn't even have a chance to speak.

Since then, her cousin, who is bent on marrying her, is as affectionate as ever to her on the surface, but in fact, the alienation and vigilance that are unconsciously revealed simply chill her heart.

It is even more humiliating.

My aunt and cousin are so ruthless, so let's find another way.

As long as she can be hired as Chai Rui's wife, even if she is a side concubine, it is enough to prove her mother's innocence and her own life experience.

She also has a chance to plan for her future, and when the time comes, let them all prostrate at her feet, lean on her own snort, and rely on her own face to have a chance to live!

As for the world, everyone thinks that Chai Rui is not as likely as Chai Jie as the prince, hehe.

Everyone treats her as a child, and she is not shy about speaking, so that she can hear a little truth.

Only those who are truly in the know know that King Yan and King Qi, the Lu family and the Ji family, Concubine Lu and Concubine Ji Shu, have always been equal.

Aunt has Princess Xiangrui, who is favored by the emperor, and Concubine Ji Shufei also has a young son Chai Jun who is loved by the emperor, Chai Rui's half-brother, who was named King Ning when he was just three years old.

No one knows who the deer will die until the last moment, maybe she is the unknown helper.

As for whether Concubine Ji Shufei and Chai Rui are willing to accept her, it depends on what she can do for them, if it is useful enough, everything is not a problem.

Her biggest advantage is that she can grasp some important information and secrets of her aunt and cousin, which is irreplaceable by others.

She didn't believe that Chai Rui's mother and son didn't need it, after all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent was the only way to survive a hundred battles.

As for the possibility that it may just be a side concubine (Liangdi), it doesn't matter.

There was a former queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was born in a family of small officials, and climbed all the way from the lowest beloved to the second position, and such examples abound in various dynasties.

The concubine room can't be straightened out, it's outside the palace, and the harem has always been man-made, and the strong are respected.
