It rained just now, but it didn't get rid of the heat of the hot summer, sticky and damp and hot.

Inside the cabin.

Cui Jiao sat on the felt mat in front of the couch to treat the man's wounds, her thin neck was suddenly clasped by a wide palm, her upper body was forced to fall on the couch, her whole body was shrouded in a sturdy body, the black mozae spread all over the couch, and a few wisps fell in his arms without knowing whether they were alive or dead, she was like a lamb to be slaughtered, trembling.

She could feel the evil aura of the man's body, as long as she dared to move, her little life could not be saved, they were deadlocked, the blood on the man's body fell on her lips, staining the terrified sandalwood mouth red, full of bloody gaudy, suffocating and full of temptation.

"Lang Jun...... Lang Jun, do you want to kill your concubine? Her voice seemed to be soaked in honey, and it softened people's ears.

The hand that had been holding her tightly loosened slightly.

Cui Jiao's eyes were full of affection, tears fell down the tails of her eyes, she trembled and raised her beautiful slender neck, and sent it to him, "Lang Jun wants the concubine to die, and the concubine does not want to live." ”

The slender fingers swirled along the neck, the skin on the neck was warm and soft, covered with a thin layer of sweat in the trembling, sticky and seductive, the fingers finally stopped on her lips, and the rough fingertips kneaded the blood little by little, her heart was relieved, and the person was completely soft, but in the next moment, his hand hit her throat like an eagle's claw.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Please don't kill me! ”

"Palm, palm, wake up."

Cui Jiaoren woke up from her dream, and her back was wet with sweat.

Seeing that she was covered in sweat, her face was stunned, and her pink face was as charming as water, so she hurriedly poured a bowl of herbal tea and handed it to her mouth, and asked, "What terrible nightmare did Zhangshu have?" Shouting for help all the time. ”

Cui Jiao came back to her senses, drank the herbal tea in one gulp, and the aftershock in her heart disappeared, gritting her teeth and saying, "I dreamed of a ghost, and I was scared to death." ”

Nanxing was afraid that she was still trapped in a dream, and deliberately teased her, "What a ghost dream?" The servant thought you were dreaming of spring. ”

Cui Jiao thought of the strength of the man's hand in her dream, and unconsciously touched her neck, "No, I almost made a mistake with a ghost, and it was difficult to die." ”

Then Nanxing helped her up, came to the dresser and sat down, the female Shi Yuzhu and Mu Xiang were holding a basin in one hand, and the other was holding the female official uniform she was going to wear.

Nanxing combed her hair, "Xun Jialing has a few words to say to you. ”

Cui Jiao held the luodian mirror in her hand and looked at her neck in a daze, and there was a shallow trace.

Nanxing also looked at the girl in the mirror, her face was like a dan, her cheeks were a little sweaty, her eyes were misty, she was lazy and coquettish after she woke up, such a beautiful little lady was the prince himself, and she only served the prince alone, saying that she was the palm of the book, but in fact, she knew in private that she was the prince's concubine.

Now call her a palm, but in fact, a month ago, it was just a little lady in distress, the prince Fu Yan returned to Chang'an from Lingnan Road, and the waterway along the way, the boat that Cui Jiao was riding caught fire and was rescued by the prince's guard.

Cui Jiao was the only one left on the boat, and the sixteen-year-old girl had nowhere to go, and followed the prince to Chang'an, the prince was arrogant, and he was only crowned at the beginning of this year, but there was no female dependent, not even a concubine, the East Palace knew the prince's quirks, and the prince did not like to be close, this was the prince's heart disease, and he had been secretive all these years.

But the prince left this little lady, there are three people in charge of the book in the East Palace, in charge of the deeds, scriptures, publicity, initiation, teaching, gifts, pen and paper (1) and other matters, Cui Jiao only cares about the scriptures, pen and paper, it is just an idle position, and she is assigned to the prince's residence on duty, and she is only allowed to serve closely.

Cui Jiao sighed, picked a little □□ and put it on her neck, but she still didn't cover all the marks, so she had to give up and said to Nanxing, "Sister, I made a pair of socks for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the day before yesterday, and I will see the family order later, you can bring it with you." ”

Nanxing should go down, but a pair of socks, there is a special person in the East Palace who will do it, and she sighs in her heart that she is wholeheartedly devoted to the prince.

When she was freshened up, Mu Xiang changed her clothes, and the women's official uniform was a tuan-collar slit robe, with a hood on her head, a cherry-colored sash around her waist, a wishful bag, and a pair of tight-fitting pants and small leather boots.

Cui Jiao looks thin and bulging on her body, the three female histories all look at her and blush, the palm book is good-looking, and the body is also good-looking, the palace officials in the East Palace are not as gorgeous and charming as her, she is still young, with a kind of delicateness, she is a real living beauty.

Cui Jiao was dressed up, and Nanxing was also holding her socks, ready to go with her to find the family Ling Xunfu.

But Cui Jiao was not in a hurry, and found a newly beaten tapezi, Mu Xiang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "This tapestry is really strong, and the palm book is also for His Royal Highness the Prince?" It's just that the color is a little wrong. ”

It's not right, it's an old-fashioned blue-gray.

Cui Jiao said, "It's not for His Royal Highness, the tapestry I wore last time I saw the family order was broken, so I gave him one easily." ”

She then took out the other brightly colored tapestries from the cabinet and divided them into one for each person.

The female historians accepted it happily.

Although Zhangshu has no rank, she is also a female official, she has no shelf, and female historians like her very much.

Cui Jiao couldn't rub it any longer, and left the corridor with Nanxing to find the family order.

Just after the thousand-step corridor, a servant flew to the house of the family order, Cui Jiao walked unhurriedly, and when he arrived at the door, Nanxing was about to knock on the door, but was stopped by Cui Jiao.

After a while, the little servant came out of the house, saw her salute respectfully, and then ran away with a puff of smoke.

Nanxing and Cui Jiao bit their ears, "He was on an errand with His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was in such a hurry, there must be something wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Cui Jiao doesn't care too much, she can't care about what happens to the prince, it is not easy for her to save her life.

The door of the house opened, and an elderly old official came out, who was the family commander Xunfu.

Cui Jiao hurriedly saluted him, he avoided the side, returned a salute, and invited her to come in to talk.

The level of the family order is far above Cui Jiao's palm, but he is also respectful to Cui Jiao, all because of the prince's attitude towards her.

She now lives in the corridor room of the Chongwen Palace, which is also arranged by the family order, the prince's Yanyu is the Chongren Palace, but the prince is busy with government affairs and has to be taught by the three teachers and three young teachers on weekdays, so he does not often stay in the Chongren Hall at night, and only rests in the Chongwen Hall near the Chongwen Hall, so the family order places her in the corridor here, which is still convenient for serving the prince.

After Cui Jiao entered the house, she gave the silk she brought to the family order, and the family order wanted to refuse, but Cui Jiao said, "The concubine's father went early, if he is still here, it should be Shangguan's current age, the concubine feels cordial when she sees Shangguan, you can accept this tape, the concubine has no other intention of flattering, just do it easily." ”

The family order was really happy to listen, received the silk she sent, hung the silk on her waist in front of her, and then looked at her, her eyes softened, it is this beautiful and well-behaved little lady who can melt His Royal Highness's iron and stone heart into a finger twist and turn, this year in Lingnan Road suffered a lot, and was assassinated and injured on the way, now she is gentle and understanding by her side, and when His Royal Highness appreciates the taste of love, the East Palace should also enter the people.

Cui Jiao asked Jia Ling what she was looking for.

Jia Ling said with a pleasant face, "Her Royal Highness the Queen wants to see Cui Zhangshu." ”

Cui Jiao sighed in her heart, she was just a small palm, and when she entered the East Palace, she was noticed by the queen, and the emperor really saw the six roads.

Jia Ling looked at her as frightened, described as slightly timid, and inevitably sighed, the little lady from the local state capital had never been to Chang'an, let alone met the mother of the country, and it was normal to be timid, he was relieved, "Her Royal Highness the Queen is very lenient, Cui Zhangshu don't be afraid, when you see Her Royal Highness the Queen, what she asks, you can answer anything." ”

Cui Jiao bowed her head gently, "The concubine wrote it down." ”

When she left, she asked Nanxing to leave the pair of socks for the prince, and the family order sent them to the Chongwen Hall on behalf of the family order, who felt that this little lady was very sensible, although it was only a stitch and a thread, but it showed that she had a deep affection for the prince.

--

Penglai Temple.

Cui Jiao was introduced into the hall by an inner attendant, originally waiting under the Dan Pier outside the hall was still very hot, and when she came in, a cool air lowered the heat around her body, she lowered her head, and she could see a person-high emerald stone standing by the window, she didn't dare to look left and right, she was very cautious, and the footsteps of the inner attendant stopped, and she immediately stopped.

The inner attendant entered the room to pray, and called her into the inner hall for a moment, and the upper seat of the inner hall was a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman, Cui Jiao bowed her head and saluted, "The maid asks Her Royal Highness the queen to say goodbye." ”

The queen asked her to be exempt, and then invited her to look closely, the prince did not have a caring person in front of her, and she had been worried, this time she had to listen to him bring back a beautiful little lady, so she ordered someone to bring a look, the little lady really looked very beautiful, and her body was good, and she was very decent to see her behaving properly, but this identity had to be asked clearly.

"I heard that your surname is Cui, but Qinghe Cui?"

Cui Jiao shook her head and nodded, "The folk girl is just a distant branch of the Cui family, and the adults of the family have long been separated, and they have nothing to do with the clan." ”

The queen saw that she answered honestly, not like she had a concealment, and she had a consideration in her heart, the Cui family has always had a good reputation for being a slender lady, and she has never worried about getting married.

Liang is the world that came immediately, and the royal ancestors are often secretly criticized for being reckless, so the ancestors rebuilt the "Surname Record" headed by Fu, and did not hesitate to marry with the scholars.

In the court of the previous dynasty, most of them were controlled by the big families, and when they reached the Great Liang, whether they were ordinary people of the scholar family, if they wanted to be officials, they had to go through scientific examinations, and the scholarly family could also gain fame and gain a foothold in the court.

The queen was still worried before, if Cui Jiao is the descendant of the Cui family, entering the East Palace is not just a concubine, although the Cui family is declining, it is also influential, even if she can't be the crown princess, the positions of Liangyuan and Chenghui must be given, she is still brought back by the prince, it can be seen that the prince likes her very much, if she is favored by the prince in the future, she will be pampered and arrogant, so that the prince will support the Cui family regardless of etiquette, but it will hurt the prince.

There is nothing to worry about now, the Cui family is gentle and lovely, it is very suitable to be a concubine, and when the crown princess chooses it in the future, this concubine is easy to dispose of.

The queen thought for a while, and had something to explain to her, "I know that you are well-behaved and sensible, and it is your blessing that you can value the crown prince, but you need to remember that my eldest grandson has to come out of the princess's belly." ”

Cui Jiao lowered her long eyelashes, unusually low eyebrows, "The folk girl remembers the teachings of Her Royal Highness the Queen." ”

When the queen finished speaking, she was rewarded with a few more pieces of jewelry.

Knock it and give a date, Cui Jiao understands very well, respectfully accepted the reward, and was about to retreat, when a small yellow door suddenly came in outside the hall, and he knelt on the ground in a panic.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a dispute with the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord was angry and said that he wanted to abolish and abolish the Crown Prince......"

Cui Jiao is here, the queen did not show panic, a concubine is insignificant, but this concubine must not have different intentions, and she can try it out at this opportunity.

The queen looked sad, "You heard, Your Majesty wants to abolish the prince, the prince may be just a concubine in the future, you are in your youth, a good little lady like a flower, I can't bear to force you to suffer with him, do you want to leave the palace?" ”

Cui Jiao looked solemn, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved the people's daughter from fire and water, and the people's daughter just wanted to follow His Royal Highness the Prince, and begged Her Royal Highness the Queen not to drive the people's daughter away." ”

She's not stupid, the queen might be trying her.

She thought to herself, if she was really a waste prince, she would definitely escape faster than anyone else, who would want to follow a waste prince who couldn't avoid herself and was perverse?
