As soon as Xin Wei took her seat, her butt had not yet warmed up the chair, and Commander Zhang entered the hall and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

No one paid special attention to such a small episode.

There were no more moths in the future, and the atmosphere was peaceful and stable until the end of the palace banquet.

After the palace banquet ended, it was the end of the unitary time, and the moon was high and the night was deep.

Xin Wei took the small road, and the eldest princess walked on the spacious palace road that could be crossed by eight sedan chairs, but she met a corner away from the lake pavilion.

Seeing the eldest princess Luanjia from afar, Huaixi whispered in Xin Wei's ear: "Little master, let's hide, that's probably the eldest princess, and she can't afford to provoke." ”

There are not many masters who sit in the palace to carry a sedan chair, and when they come to this road, eighty percent go to Fangfei Palace, and Huaixi can easily guess who this is.

Xin Wei retreated to the side with Huaixi, waiting respectfully for the eldest princess's sedan chair to pass over.

Who knows, when passing by them, the eldest princess stopped the sedan chair, looked at Xin Wei and said, "Is it Xin Jieyu from Huguang Pavilion?" ”

"Back to the princess, yes."

"Concubine Chen's Huguang Pavilion is extraordinary, I couldn't go in to see it before, tonight Princess Ben wants to have a cup of tea in Huguang Pavilion, what does Xin Jieyu think?"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is here, and I am honored to be here." Xin Wei said respectfully.

Huaixi held her breath at the moment when the sedan chair suddenly stopped, nervous to death.

After entering the Huguang Pavilion, Huaixi hurriedly prepared refreshments, and was almost knocked down by the threshold when he entered the house with fruits.

She quickly stood firm, realizing that she had lost her demeanor in front of the eldest princess, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Royal Highness the princess spares her life!" The slave knows that she is wrong! ”

Shen Shuning looked at this girl for fun, and deliberately wondered: "What kind of tea is this, this princess only drinks Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, don't you know?" ”

Huaixi panicked in his heart, this lake is not as good as Yong'an Palace Weiyang Palace, what can you want, Gu Zhu Zizhu has really never seen it, where did you get it for the eldest princess?

She lowered her head, her hands holding the tray trembling like a sieve, biting her lip and not knowing how to reply.

Xin Wei casually took a tea box and gave it to Huaixi: "That's it, let's cook it well." ”

Huaixi was stunned for a moment, isn't this Longjing before the rain, also called Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots? In the end, she was short of knowledge, so she didn't dare to ask more.

The little girl hurriedly ran out with the tea box, and Shen Shuning laughed out loud.

"Am I a beast? Scare her. ”

"What are you scaring her for?" Xin Wei said helplessly, "The little girl can't stand the fright, and she will cry again in a while." ”

Huaixi is only fourteen years old this year, cardamom is in her prime, and after entering the palace, she will deal with her as Jieyu, and the first time she sees the eldest princess, she is naturally afraid.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Shuning didn't think so, the smile on his lips narrowed slightly, he approached her slightly, and said in a low voice: "That Chu Jieyu can't go back to Weiyang Palace today." ”

Xin Wei was also thinking in her heart that Chu Ying never returned to the palace banquet tonight, probably something happened.

"Commander Zhang saw her in the apse of the Qianyuan Palace, and she was walking around the apse, holding a basket, and in the basket was a pair of scissors, and the scissors had a little fabric on them, which just matched the destroyed dance costume."

Xin Wei asked, "Wasn't it bitten by a mouse?" ”

At the palace banquet, it was clear that someone reported that the dance clothes were bitten by mice.

"That's Dan Hong's explanation, pushing the matter to the rats to avoid making a big fuss at the palace banquet," Shen Shuning said, "I always see, this matter is not only for Concubine Liu, but also for Princess Ben." That Chu Jieyu, didn't I protect her in public, wouldn't I slap me in the face when I moved her? ”

The man didn't dare to go directly to the eldest princess, so he could only sneak around and do something stealing chickens and dogs.

But isn't this framing a trick used by the queen?

Xin Wei peeled a citrus and handed a petal of golden flesh to her lips: "The queen's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, but she shouldn't have done anything at the Lantern Festival Palace banquet, the emperor cares about the royal face very much, and it is the opposite of her to do so." ”

"That's right, Shen Xiao has a good temper, but if he hurts the royal dignity by making trouble, he can't tolerate it. This Cao Qing, Shen Xiao seemed to be annoyed when she saw her, and she hadn't noticed it yet. ”

Shen Shuning ate the orange, looked at the slightly flickering candle flame on the brown copper lamp, and said in a low voice: "Now by his side, which woman understands him?" ”

Xin Wei said: "He still has you." ”

Shen Shuning held her hand and blinked.

"You still have me. Remember, don't carry everything yourself, I, the frightened eldest princess, am not a fool. ”

When the little eunuch came in, Xin Wei hurriedly pulled out her hand and sat upright.

How could anyone come here at such a late hour?

The little eunuch saluted the eldest princess, and then said to Xin Wei: "Little master, the emperor has told you to sleep tonight, and please take a bath and change your clothes." ”

Shen Shuning was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes widened.

Xin Wei paused and said, "Father-in-law, is the emperor mistaken, the Lantern Festival should be spent with the queen......

"If the queen phoenix is sick, you can make an exception," the little eunuch said with a flattering smile, "Little master, please." ”

-

Xin Wei didn't quite understand why the waiter went to the imperial study, but this did not allow her to question, the guard pushed the door open for her, and she walked into the imperial study alone.

The door closed, but she still felt cold.

Outside the Su embroidered pearlescent brocade shirt, there was only a light gauze as thin as a cicada's wings, and her shoulders shrank from the cold.

She also had to maintain a dignified demeanor and kneel to the emperor who was reading the case file.

Shen Xiao raised his eyes to look at her, his delicate figure was imprinted in his eyes, and his pupils shrank in an instant, and he got up and took a dark cloak and draped it on her shoulder.

Looking down, I saw that under her jagged collarbone, the furrow was deep into the moon-white bandeau.

He hurriedly turned around, slid his throat down, and then sat back on the mahogany carved dragon throne casually, looking at her with heavy eyes: "In winter, why are you dressed like this?" ”

Aren't you afraid of getting sick from the cold?

Xin Wei's cheeks were so cold that her words were cold.

"The emperor summoned me to sleep, and I naturally dressed like this."

Last time, she was forced to tear off her disguise in private, and now that there are no outsiders, she doesn't need to pretend to be low-eyebrowed.

Shen Xiao was stunned.

"I called you here, but I didn't let you sleep."

Xin Wei let out an "oh" and tightened her cloak.

That was probably because the little eunuch misunderstood and made an embarrassing oolong.

Shen Xiao's gaze stayed on her face for a while, and then said lightly: "Chu Jieyu's matter has been suppressed, and she has returned to Weiyang Palace." Don't go into the truth, just stop there. ”

It's good if there is nothing to do, what is the use of her pursuing the truth, the emperor is willing to deal with it.

Thinking like this, Xin Wei thanked her very perfunctorily.

"Let's go back."

Shen Xiao continued to look down at the recital.

Xin Wei stood still, "That's it?" ”

"Yes," Shen Xiao paused, his voice slightly hoarse, "lest you worry about Chu Jieyu and can't sleep." ”

Xin Wei took off her cloak and saluted and retired.

When her back disappeared into the darkness around the corner, Shen Xiao raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then looked at the cloak that was hung back in place, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
