Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

The first day of February, Prince Xi’s Mansion

After this period of recuperation, Leng Xi's body has almost recovered, but for some reason, he is unwilling to go out and walk around. For this reason, Yu Qiaoqiao reminded him several times, quite dissatisfied.

Early this morning, Concubine Li took Xiao Cui to the temple to burn incense, saying that she wanted to pray for Xiao Cui to give birth to a son.

Yu Qiaoqiao didn't understand. Leng Xi already had a son, so why did Concubine Li want another one?

However, she had always been very indifferent to everything and did not want to ask too many questions. She lived in Prince Xi's Mansion and adhered to the principle of not caring about matters that concern her.

Now she can't go back to her parents' home. Since her father was demoted to the sixth rank, they moved out of the original mansion and moved to a small courtyard that was suitable for her father's official position.

As soon as she went back, she could hear her mother's voice complaining about everything. In fact, she could tell that her mother was blaming Leng Xi. If Leng Xi hadn't been involved, her father wouldn't have been demoted and they wouldn't have moved to the small yard. Come.

In this regard, Yu Qiaoqiao didn't want to blame Leng Xi. He was not unjust when his father was demoted. For so many years, he had avoided trouble and was only an official who didn't cause trouble and didn't get into trouble. Her father's behavior style had already made her uncomfortable. I can't stand it.

Therefore, when she could not go home, she tried not to go back. She didn't want to hear her mother nagging in her ear.

As soon as she came in with breakfast, she saw Leng Xi standing under the window with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

She put the food on the table and said lightly while placing it:

"Since you want to go out, let's go out for a walk. Why do you always stay indoors?"

Leng Xi turned around and sat at the table. He raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down.

"Qiaoqiao, come and eat with me."

"I've eaten. Mom took Xiaocui to the temple to burn incense and pray for her to give you a son."

When he said this, Yu Qiaoqiao's tone was filled with jealousy.

Leng Xi frowned, then snorted softly,

"More than that."

Yu Qiaoqiao pushed the dish in front of him,

"Mom, I think you want to make Prince Xi's Mansion more lively. That's understandable. You go ahead and eat!"

"Qiaoqiao, do you think I shouldn't stay in the house all the time? Do you think I'm a useless person?"

"No, you think too much."

"Qiaoqiao, I do this for my own reasons. If I go out in high spirits now, guess what will happen to the emperor?"

emperor?

Yu Qiaoqiao looked at him in surprise,

"What do you mean by that?"

Leng Xi looked at the food in front of him and had no intention of swallowing it, but sighed,

"During this period, I figured it out. The emperor neither rewards me nor punishes me. He is waiting for me. Once I announce that I am fine, he will definitely use a hateful move to deal with me. "

"Hate chess?"

Yu Qiaoqiao still shook her head in confusion, Leng Xi's mouth trembled slightly, and she slowly spoke,

"If the emperor had issued an order to punish me earlier, maybe I could feel more at ease. Now that he is turning a deaf ear to me, I feel that he must be waiting for me."

"No, the emperor and the queen are both magnanimous people. Maybe you are overthinking."

"Ha ha……"

Leng Xi laughed at himself and shook his head seriously,

"On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Leng Zian, Huang Shixiong, and Meng Letu entered the capital. That night, Leng Yu held a dinner for them. During the dinner, he mentioned my matter. Although I don't know what the content was, I expected that he He must want to arrange me the same way the late emperor arranged Leng Zian."

Yu Qiaoqiao's eyebrows flickered a few times, and she asked fearfully:

"You mean, the emperor wants to give you another palace to keep you away from the capital?"

Leng Xi pondered for a while and nodded.

"Yes, if I'm not wrong, he has this idea, but because my body has not recovered yet, I haven't issued an order yet."

"What if we are like Leng Zian, staying away from the capital and not returning for decades? My parents are old, and I don't want to leave them..."

At this point, Yu Qiaoqiao was a little anxious, but she suddenly realized that if the emperor really wanted to do this, even Leng Xi would not be able to resist at all.

Leng Xi shook his head calmly.

"I can't leave the capital for the time being. An'an is my daughter after all. If I don't get her forgiveness and take her with me, how can I rest assured? So, before I think of a safe way, I can only pretend to be sick. Get up and escape for the time being."

"But...but the Queen knows how many days it will take for your injury to heal, so this is not the solution, right?"

"The injuries on my body have healed, but I got cold again and had a splitting headache all day long..."

This……

Yu Qiaoqiao hesitated, then suddenly nodded as if he thought of something,

"Well, I'll go find the doctor later and get you some medicine. Then you can't keep pretending like this. You have to think of a good way, right?"

"A good way? The only way is to gain Leng Yu's complete trust, but based on what I have done before, how can he trust me again? So, this opportunity is hard to find, so you can only take your time!"

Leng Xi's words made Yu Qiaoqiao fall into deep thought. She didn't want to leave the capital, not because she couldn't bear the glory and wealth of the capital, but because she couldn't bear to leave her father and mother.

What Leng Xi couldn't let go of was not only An'an, but also his family business, his property, and his status.

……

Fengyi Palace.

After getting up early in the morning, Leng Yu went to court, and Luo Lan returned to Fengyi Palace.

Leng Yu had just ascended the throne, and the court had a lot of chores to deal with. In the past few days, he had been leaving early and coming back late.

Originally, Luo Lan planned to live in Fengyi Palace so that he could have a good rest, but Leng Yu was not allowed to do so and insisted that she go to the Yangxin Palace to sleep every day, otherwise he would come to her Fengyi Palace.

Fengyi Palace was far away from the main hall. If Leng Yu stayed here, she would have to get up two-quarters of an hour early to prepare for the morning meeting tomorrow. In order to let him sleep a little longer, she had no choice but to go to Yangxin Palace to spend the night with him.

As soon as Ah Hong put her makeup on, someone handed her the list of show girls. Although Leng Yu had already told her how to arrange these show girls, she still felt that this made her a little annoyed.

A Cai took the list of beautiful ladies from the eunuch's hand and waved to the eunuch. The eunuch bowed and quickly retreated.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has said that he will no longer draft girls, but these people are still sending them to the palace. Are they sincere?"

Luo Lan smiled helplessly,

"This is the rule of Daning Kingdom. There is no elder in the palace now. Although there is no one to restrain it, the emperor cannot break this rule! You still have to choose."

"Then what if the emperor falls in love with one of the beautiful girls?"

Ah Hong saw that Ah Cai was speaking without restraint, and immediately winked at her, and then said displeasedly:

"The emperor said that he is only good to the queen in this life. Don't talk nonsense there. How could the emperor fall in love with other women?"

"Even if the emperor despises other women, there is no guarantee that other women will not come to seduce the emperor? These beautiful girls are all Jiangnan women. Not only are they proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are also handsome in appearance. Which man would look at it? Your eyes will be straight, the emperor is also a man."

"Shut up."

Ah Hong glared at Ah Cai and shouted in a stern voice:

"Can you please stop causing trouble in my heart?"

Luo Lan shook his head and smiled.

"A Hong, don't blame A Cai. She is telling the truth. Well, no one has come yet, but you two are quarreling over this. Are you tired?"

Ah Hong and Ah Cai nuzzled each other's noses and stopped talking.
