Of course, Queen Qu knows this, so she will carefully choose a wife for the second prince.

She curled the corners of her lips quite smugly: "Your Majesty relented, and it is not impossible for my son to get married in front of the prince." ”

In terms of the eldest and longest, the prince is in front, but His Majesty has not appointed the crown princess to the East Palace.

If the second prince can take the lead, get married, open the house, and give birth to the emperor's grandson, the situation will inevitably become delicate.

No matter how you look at it, the young son is more sacred.

Moreover, the wife family in the picture is still the family of the prime minister Zuo who is full of protégés......

No wonder my aunt was so happy.

However, Qu Ningxi heard that Miss Zheng San was pleased with His Royal Highness the Prince.

This was secretly told to her by a young friend in the boudoir, and Miss Zheng San Xu was pure-minded and not good at covering up.

Every time I saw the prince, I was stupid, and then I turned red with a little face, and my heart was revealed.

The one in the East Palace, who is too gorgeous, was born to be a fairy in the painting, and lived in the moon.

Qu Ningxi saw the prince for the first time when she was a child, and she was also amazed by the other party's beautiful face.

The stones are like jade, and the pines are like emerald; Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world.

I have never heard of the first queen is a peerless beauty, but the queen mother, when she was young, she was beautiful, and he may be like a grandmother.

The crown prince Zhuyu is in front, in comparison, the second prince is ......

Qu Ningxi didn't say much, some words shouldn't come out of her mouth, and her aunt would investigate.

Accompanied the queen to take a break in the side hall, watched her close her eyes and recuperate, and then gently retreated.

The silver bottle waited outside with a cloak, and as soon as the person came out, he wrapped it up, and proposed with a smile: "Does the young lady want to go to the lotus pond for a walk?" There's a warm pavilion over there. ”

It's still early, and it's easy to bump into people in the garden, Qu Ningxi thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay." ”

********

The master and servant left the Jiangyu Palace, walked into the imperial garden, and left the sound of silk and bamboo behind them.

The cool breeze hit the face, the silver bottle forgot to take the copper stove, Qu Ningxi put his hands in his sleeve pockets, and his fingertips were cold at this time.

It's already spring, and Shang Jing doesn't know how long it will be cold.

The imperial garden was decorated with fire trees and silver flowers, and occasionally a word or two of laughter came from the side, and the palace maids and eunuchs holding trays passed by.

Walking to the bank of Liansheng Pond, the warm pavilion is close in front of you.

Suddenly, a little palace maid rushed out in a hurry, grabbed the silver bottle, and took a good sister, saying that there was an urgent matter for her to help.

Before Qu Ningxi could react, the person was pulled away, and it was only a moment before and after.

"Silver bottle ......" She was a little dazed, and stood in place and left an order.

Qu Ningxi looked at the bright warm pavilion not far away, and an indescribable subtlety surged up for no reason.

I can't help but hesitate.

There...... Maybe someone has already taken the lead, and she can't get in.

Qu Ningxi's intuition may not be accurate, she just suddenly doesn't want to go to the warm pavilion.

I saw the palace man holding a tray in his hand, although he didn't look at it carefully, he vaguely remembered that it was some wine and food......

Maybe there's anyone in there?

Qu Ningxi immediately remembered the little palace maid she met at the pomegranate gate when she entered the palace.

It's not the first time that the second prince has made such a small move, and under his aunt's nose, he is reckless.

Completely ignoring the annoyance it will cause to others.

At this moment, there is no evidence that the second prince is in the warm pavilion, and Qu Ningxi does not go over to verify it in person.

She thought for a moment, and walked quickly into a small winding road.

Because of the relationship between the queen, Qu Ningxi entered the palace many times, and with a general understanding of the imperial garden, he successfully detoured and left Liansheng Pond.

She hurried away, not daring to turn back, and ran all the way to the vicinity of Luoyingtai.

This place is quite far away from the Jiangyu Palace where the banquet is held, and it is a relatively secluded place in the imperial garden.

On a cold day, Qu Ningxi walked out of the heat, didn't feel the cold, and sat down against a vermilion pillar.

I hope she is too careful, if it is really the second prince who makes a move, in this imperial garden, she may not be able to hide from her aunt's eyes.

Qu Ningxi didn't dare to make a noise at all, once it was known, it was nothing more than two results.

Either choose someone to marry her as soon as possible and add some in-laws to the Qu family.

Or, the queen indulges her son, gives her out generously, and ends up with the name of a concubine.

I also know that the position of the second prince's concubine will not be easily granted.

These are not what Qu Ningxi wants, even if she can't help herself in her marriage, but ...... It is a moment to be able to push for a while.

Qu Ningxi sat silently by the pillar, and his mood gradually calmed down.

I don't know how long it took, and the oblique sentence "His Royal Highness the Prince" made her come back to her senses.

In the blink of an eye, I found that a few people came to Luoyingtai at some point.

The one at the head, the silver-silk white-robed snow feather crane, is the master of the East Palace: Pei Yingxiao.

He wore a white jade crown on his head, his black hair was hanging down, and his picturesque eyebrows were as smiling as usual.

Then, raising his hand, the slender five fingers landed on the neck of the little palace maid in front of him, and there was a crisp sound of 'click'-

A scene without warning, Qu Ningxi was stunned.

She was distracted by Pei Yingxiao at first sight, and she didn't notice the little palace maid at all.

I'm afraid that most people will see the most striking existence first, and by the time the eyes are divided into others, the little palace maid has already collapsed to the ground with her neck crooked, only making a few short breath sounds.

It's so crisp and neat, as if it's sparse and ordinary.

Even, Pei Yingxiao's narrow eyes are not rippling, and his smile is still ...... There is a hint of evil.

Qu Ningxi shuddered slightly, almost suspecting that she had read it wrong.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dahuan Dynasty is as gentle as jade, how can this be?

Is he really the crown prince?

The prince who is full of praise from civil and military officials?

Under the projection of the palace lamp, the vermilion pillar formed a shadow area, and the position of Qu Ningxi happened to be hidden in it, and no one noticed it if he didn't look closely.

She opened a pair of apricot eyes, stared at Pei Yingxiao stupidly, and forgot to look away.

I saw him take out a white brocade handkerchief, slowly wipe his slender fingertips, and his voice was clear: "Dispose of it." ”

"Yes."

The person who responded was the eldest follower of the crown prince, and he was called Ming En.

There will be no mistake, it is the prince himself.

Killing a little palace maid so lightly is completely contrary to the benevolence, righteousness and humility he usually shows......

The contrast is so great that it gives a sense of absurdity.

Qu Ningxi subconsciously thought of a word - [hypocrite].

What's even more terrifying is that in the next moment, the person on the oblique side suddenly lifted his eyes, and his dark eyes looked towards her.

He saw her......

Qu Ningxi, who was hiding in the shadow of the pillar, looked at him in four eyes, his pupils shrank in an instant, and his small mouth opened slightly, making it difficult to move.

Pei Yingxiao noticed that he was being witnessed, but he didn't react in a panic.

The corners of his lips curled, he stepped forward, and asked softly, "Why is Miss Qu here?" ”

The soft greeting is like meeting a beautiful woman in the garden.

Qu Ningxi was still sitting, she couldn't stand up, she looked up with a soft little face, full of horror: "I, I ......"

She should greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and explain why she is here.

However, Qu Ningxi couldn't think of any quibbles at all, she only hoped to be invisible in place and disappear completely.

"Huh?" Pei Yingxiao's body was long, and he bent over slightly, easily enveloping her.

It was the first time for the two of them to be so close, so close that Qu Ningxi could smell the clear breath on his body, and even the tear mole under the other party's eyelid was clearly visible.

His long eyelashes are like feathers, and a small red mole adds a bit of bewitchment to this handsome face.

Qu Ningxi trembled uncontrollably, and his body and mind were seized by great fear.

She's dead, she's going to be killed!

The prince lost his mother at a young age, and the gossip rumored that the death of the first queen was inseparable from the succession.

Qu Ningxi didn't know what the facts were, she only knew that now that the second prince had grown up, her aunt was obviously ambitious and tried in vain to seize the position of the East Palace......

And she, as the niece of the successor, was born to stand on the opposite side of the prince, and now she has a glimpse of his unknown side, what good result can she get?

At the critical moment, Qu Ningxi's confused brain was no longer able to think, and her little hand seemed to have autonomous consciousness and poked out.

grabbed Pei Yingxiao's big man: "Your Highness...... The courtiers have been in love with His Royal Highness for a long time...... Absolutely, absolutely won't say it......"

She stumbled, but her tone was firm, her hands were quite hard, and her thin white little fingers were red.

"What?"

Rao is Pei Yingxiao, and he didn't expect to hear such a sentence.

His gaze fell, and the little white girl was no different from a kitten, and her misty eyes seemed to be about to cry.

He bent his eyebrows, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you love Gu? ”

It's like hearing a funny joke.

Pei Yingxiao was clearly smiling, but Qu Ningxi felt that his neck was cold, and he might be broken at any time.
