Mu Zhao's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, now that he thinks about it, his behavior is indeed a bit stupid, but he doesn't know what else he can do for the imperial brother.

Xia Qianwei saw Mu Zhao's thoughts at a glance, it is really not easy to have such a brotherhood in the royal family, but his actions are very easy to ignite, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs most now is a trusted right-hand man, although there are many ministers in the court who are willing to follow, but it is far from enough, and filling the harem in the future is also to balance the forces of the court and the central government to win people's hearts......"

Mu Zhao immediately understood that Xia Qianwei wanted to tell him that even if this obstruction was successful, there would be thousands of women like Princess Yunguo who would become the prince's side in the future.

He fell silent for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Now I'm glad that I don't take my father's ...... seriously."

Xia Qianwei raised her eyebrows slightly, and he glanced at her meaningfully, "The mother concubine has been painstakingly looking for a suitable imperial concubine and side concubine for me during this time, but I only need a confidant. ”

It is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but he is not uncommon at all.

Because of her strong personality and not very outstanding appearance, her mother was not favored by her father.

Since he was sensible, he often saw his mother sitting alone in the cold palace looking at the vast night sky outside the window, and he knew that his mother missed her days outside the palace when she was young.

There are 3,000 beauties in this harem, how many women are like the mother concubine, but they are just the embellishments of imperial power, but they must be trapped in this golden wire cage for the rest of their lives.

Xia Qianwei immediately showed surprise, she really didn't expect Mu Zhao to have such an idea.

At this moment, there was a miserable scream not far away, and the faces of the two changed at the same time.

When they followed the sound, they saw that there seemed to be a palace maid sitting there behind the bushes in front of them, Xia Qianwei frowned as soon as she approached, and there was a faint smell of blood wafting in the wind.

"What happened?"

Mu Zhao strode away, but saw the palace maid raise her head with tears streaming down her face, and she was trembling with a mandarin duck cat covered in blood and drooping with a purple tongue.

She was immersed in grief and forgot to salute for a while, and the several palace maids who arrived when they heard the sound were already so frightened by the scene in front of them that they covered their mouths, and finally came back to their senses and quickly knelt down towards Mu Zhao.

"Your Highness, forgive me!" This cat, this cat ran in from outside the palace, and the slaves and maidservants only kept it for a few days......

It turns out that in this harem, only the master is qualified to raise pets, and they have violated the palace rules by concealing this matter as palace maids!

Mu Zhao didn't blame them, but saw Xia Qianwei slowly approaching, feeling that the cat's death was a little strange.

"Lord Yongle County, I'm afraid this cat didn't eat something that shouldn't be eaten. ”

However, Xia Qianwei stretched out her hand to brush away its long hair, only to see a faint scale in front of her, which looked like the three guards who died in the racecourse.

At this time, a famous palace maid seemed to think of something, and immediately opened her mouth tremblingly, "The canary raised by His Highness on the eleventh day yesterday also seems to have eaten the wrong thing, and His Highness cried for a long time......

The finch also drooped with a small purple snake, and said that it was poisoned and died.

Xia Qianwei couldn't help but have a solemn expression, only thinking that this matter must be related to the murder in the royal racecourse, if this is the case, then the well-guarded Chenguo Palace is now in danger!

......

And the other end.

In the luxurious and quiet palace, a charming woman rests elegantly on a comfortable chaise longue.

The smooth and graceful back was covered with a blanket, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers surrounded her, and she closed her eyes lightly to feel the thin embroidery needles fall on her delicate skin.

An embroiderer was preoccupied with the noble princess of Yunguo, and the flowery patterns vividly crawled all over the arm that was originally full of burns, covering up the ugly scars.

"Yu Niangniang, Second Young Master Liu asks to see you. ”

Liu Qinglan was a little apprehensive at this time, in front of the screen of the country's color and fragrance, the aroma in the air and the hazy and beautiful shadow made his heart ripple uncontrollably, I don't know how long it took for the embroiderer to retreat respectfully.

Soon, a beautiful woman dressed in a single tulle dress appeared in front of Liu Qinglan elegantly and calmly, and her charming eyes collided with his stunning gaze, making the man take a few steps back with a little embarrassment.

"Second Young Master Liu came just in time, thanks to you for finding this ingenious embroiderer, this picture of flowers in this palace is still beautiful?"

I saw Xia Rouchun gently lift his sleeve, and the soft-line arm immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

Liu Qinglan's face was so red that she was about to drip blood, she wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it, she closed her eyes and lowered her head to swallow, "It's good-looking, it's really good-looking." ”

The way he wrote all his thoughts on his face made Xia Rouchun feel very satisfied, and she couldn't help but have a teasing heart.

"If you don't look carefully, you're perfunctory. ”

Her voice seemed to have a different kind of magic, which made Liu Qinglan open her eyes suddenly, and her gaze slowly moved up along her fingers painted with red dankou.

This embroiderer had taken a lot of effort to find from the people, and how could a woman as perfect as the crown princess have any flaws?

At this time, he noticed that there was a small black and slender snake embroidered on the inside of her wrist, hidden among the flowers, there was an indescribable weirdness.

As if noticing his gaze, Xia Rouchun smiled lightly.

"I still remember that many people in the court said that this palace is a red-faced and troubled water femme fatale, so this snake pattern is very suitable for the occasion, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Qinglan immediately hugged her indignantly, "The crown princess should not pay attention to those idle people! Whoever dares to slander the crown princess like this in front of the minister, the minister must pull out his tongue and break the body into ten thousand pieces!"

Looking at his indignant appearance, Xia Rouchun smiled more and more charmingly, "I know that you are good for this palace, and this palace will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Listening to this extremely charming voice, Liu Qinglan only felt that her heart was about to melt.

Who knows, Xia Rouchun suddenly mentioned, "What do you think of that Yongle County Lord?"

"She, she doesn't deserve to lift shoes for the crown princess!" the man in front of him immediately spat disdainfully.

"I'm talking about her riding skills, but who do you think of?"

“......”

Liu Qinglan didn't know why, and tried to recall Xia Qianwei's extremely arrogant appearance on the horse farm in her mind, and then snorted coldly, "That's it, Chen Guo is afraid that she will be embarrassed this time, that little girl is just a good horse from Zhenguo Mansion, let her try to ride the courtier's hired thunder!"

Hiring Lei is his name for horse racing, which means that he is hired with Lei Chi.

But Xia Rouchun's expression darkened, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often praises her dazzling appearance on the horse, if this time she lets that unruly girl make a show off on the Four Nations Race, I'm afraid that His Highness will miss her even more." ”

Liu Qinglan just couldn't see Xia Rouchun's sad appearance, a haze immediately crossed his eyes, and then he swore a sentence, "No, she doesn't think about it!"
