"Hahaha, you can't catch it! You just can't catch it!"

The garden full of autumn chrysanthemums echoed with the energetic laughter of children. Xiao Hongying was blindfolded, and her white and tender hands were half-hanging in the air and scratching. Xiao Zhan ran ahead of her. The body hides aside.

They were surrounded by many court ladies and eunuchs, fearing that the two young masters in front of them would bump into each other.

"Ahem——" A gust of cool wind blew through, choking the imperial concubine who was sitting at the stone table and watching the two children fighting.

"Sister's old problem again?" A woman beside her brought a cup of tea, and Liu Muchen glanced at her secretly. The man had soft eyes, was dressed in a simple and elegant blue robe, and showed a dignified air in his gestures and gestures. Concubine Yu, adoptive mother of Prince Xiao Yi of Beiding.

Alas, although she is a bit older, she is indeed a half-old mistress, with a charm that still exists...

He remembered that in the original book, Concubine Yu married Xiao Shixian at the age of 16, but she was not favored for many years, and she gave birth to the tenth prince Xiao Zhan at the age of 27 or eight. There are thousands of styles, and the favor has not faded for many years, ranking first among the concubines.

Therefore, it is not only a common saying that old cows like to eat tender grass, but also an eternal truth.

"I'm sorry, sister." The imperial concubine smiled casually, and shifted her gaze to Xiao Hongying who was playing in the garden.

"The emperor allows me to go back to Ning to visit my relatives in two days. I'll go to the Buddhist temple to ask for a lottery for my sister." Concubine Yu paused for a moment, and then said: "What happened on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival... Sigh, I didn't expect General Ge to..."

Concubine Yu's face looked sad, and the concubine was stunned for a moment, but remained silent.

Liu Muchen watched secretly from the side. He felt a long time ago that the imperial concubine's reaction to Ge Feng's incident seemed too flat.

Ordinary concubines who live deep in the inner palace, when encountering such a thing, shouldn't they just cry in the emperor's arms all day long, right?

"Haha! I caught you!" Xiao Hongying shouted excitedly in front of the garden gate. She tore off the gauze covering her eyes, only to see Xiao Zhan, who was supposed to be caught by her, was giggling beside her.

Xiao Hongying turned her head to look at the person standing in front of her, and exclaimed, "Father!"

Liu Muchen's heart moved, and he subconsciously went to look at the noble concubine. The latter had put down the tea cup in his hand at some point, and she fixedly looked at Xiao Yi in front of the round gate. This time, Liu Muchen saw it again in her eyes. Unbearable joy.

Why is this a bit like...

Liu Muchen was still pondering, when the imperial concubine suddenly raised the corners of her lips, and said softly, "Hongying."

Xiao Hongying heard the noble concubine call her, and immediately threw Xiao Yi and ran to this side. The noble concubine grabbed her small arm and wiped the sweat stains on her forehead with a handkerchief.

"Pretend you are going to stay with your father for lunch." Concubine Yu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Yi, then pulled Xiao Zhan who was sweating profusely from running to her side to wipe his sweat.

Xiao Yi lifted the hem of his robe and sat down on the stone bench, and said in a deep voice, "I have discussed the art of swordsmanship with my father for a while, and my mother and concubine are worried."

Concubine Yu smiled and said: "If I want to talk about this, it reminds me of the actors that King Xuan Ning brought that night. Although they use fans, they are far better than those sword-dancing fists and embroidered legs in the past. Your father and queen came to tell me a few times. Back to this matter."

Liu Muchen stood at the back, raised the corners of his lips when he heard Concubine Yu's words, it seemed that he became famous in the first battle.

Xiao Yi remained silent for a moment, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on that heroic and indifferent face: "That dance was really different."

For a moment, everyone present was dumbfounded, Liu Muchen looked at Xiao Yi in surprise, this person can actually laugh?I thought he had natural facial paralysis.

Well, but it's really pretty when you smile, it's on par with Xiao Yan...

Liu Muchen was making comparisons unconsciously in his heart. The imperial concubine's hand resting on Xiao Hongying's body paused slightly. He looked at Xiao Yi and said inexplicably, "I heard that the prince and King Xuanning had a quarrel over that actor a few days ago. I I was just thinking about what kind of wonderful person I should be, but I didn't expect that even the prince would... It's a pity that I didn't feel well on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and I couldn't see the elegant demeanor of the top card in Xunyu Tower."

Liu Muchen blinked his eyes. He always felt that the imperial concubine's words were a little weird, like... a resentful woman?

"Imperial concubine..." Xiao Hongying opened her big eyes and said embarrassingly, "I accidentally dropped the sachet you gave me last time..."

Sachets?

Liu Muchen was stunned for a moment, he really guessed it right!

The noble concubine smiled disapprovingly, patted Xiao Hongying's head, and said: "It doesn't matter, I will give you another one next time."

Xiao Zhan couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you so attached to the imperial concubine? I don't know. I thought she was your concubine mother."

This was originally a joke, but everyone's faces suddenly sank, Xiao Yi took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Ninth brother, don't speak nonsense."

The imperial concubine looked at Xiao Yi calmly, the complexity in her eyes made Liu Muchen break out in a cold sweat.

He thought of the way the imperial concubine looked at Xiao Yi before, thought of Xiao Zhan's joke just now and everyone's reaction, could it be...

Liu Muchen calmed down and thought about it. Although there was no such a plot mentioned in the original novel, based on what he knew about Liu Ya's writing habits and vulgar TV drama routines, he vaguely thought of a possibility...

The cool wind blew past, and the imperial concubine couldn't help coughing again.

Xiao Yi put down the teacup, got up and said: "Today, the concubine should return home for dinner, so I won't be with concubine mother."

Concubine Yu was stunned for a moment, and when the noble concubine heard this, the hands on Xiao Hongying's shoulders tightened imperceptibly, and the latter asked suspiciously, "Your imperial concubine?"

The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief, as if feeling a little uncomfortable in her chest, after a long time, she smiled lightly and said, "Go back with your father."

Dark clouds obscured the sun, and the sky gradually darkened. It was past noon when we returned to Hewei Palace. The imperial concubine closed her eyes and leaned on the couch. foot.

"Ma'am." A voice came from outside the house.

The imperial concubine still had her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

The maid next to her winked at Liu Muchen, who nodded hurriedly. He had long wanted to find an excuse to get out, but the imperial concubine didn't speak, so he could only stand and be a wooden man...

Liu Muchen stepped back quickly, and there was a tall eunuch standing at the door, who was the little father-in-law who was supposed to be working hard in the spice room.

When the little eunuch saw Liu Muchen coming out, a smile could not help but appear on his face, he said: "Go and tell the empress that someone from the Chengqian Palace has sent a message that the emperor is coming tonight, let the empress make preparations early."

Before Liu Muchen could reply, the imperial concubine's tired voice suddenly came from inside: "Go back to the emperor and say that this palace is not feeling well today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you well. Please move the emperor to another palace."

Liu Muchen and the little eunuch looked at each other. The latter hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something. Seeing this, Liu Muchen suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty tells you to go, just go, don't dawdle!"

The voice was so loud that everyone in the room could hear it. The little father-in-law looked at Liu Muchen's grip on his hand, and replied loudly: "Yes, yes."

Liu Muchen looked around and saw that no one was passing by, so he hurriedly pulled the little father-in-law into a nearby bush.

The little eunuch raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I never thought that Eunuch Liu would have such a hobby."

As he said that, he wanted to touch Liu Muchen's eyes.

Liu Muchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he pulled down the little eunuch's hand, and said softly: "Go back to the man outside, who said that the empress knows, and will wait for the holy driver tonight."

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Muchen became meaningful in an instant: "Okay."

Liu Muchen glanced at him in surprise: "Why don't you ask me?"

The little eunuch stared at him for a while, then he smiled and said, "I believe you."

Liu Muchen was slightly taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, the little father-in-law had disappeared without a trace.

On the eaves of the moon, there was a faint sound of a piano in Hewei Palace. The tune was like weeping and complaining, like a cuckoo whining, which made people's hearts tremble.

Liu Muchen bowed, and gently closed the door for the concubine.

In front of the spice room, the little father-in-law sat alone.

Liu Muchen walked up to him and said with a smile: "Why don't you fight crickets with those father-in-laws behind?

The little eunuch looked at Liu Muchen and smiled casually: "They are not as interesting as you."

Liu Muchen was noncommittal, he lifted the hem of his robe, and casually sat down next to the little eunuch, his buttocks just touched the steps, and he felt a severe soreness in his waist.

Serving people is hard work, I have never been so tired before being punished by the head teacher...

Liu Muchen rubbed his waist, thinking with emotion.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands with thin calluses attached to the back of his hands.

Liu Muchen was slightly taken aback, he turned his head to look at the smiling father-in-law behind him, and finally handed over his almost exhausted body into his hands.

The sad sound of the piano in the room was still echoing, the little eunuch pressed against Liu Muchen's body, and gently kneaded his waist with his big hands. After a while, he laughed and said: "The imperial concubine is being favored, how can she play such a sad song?" song?"

Liu Muchen closed his eyes and half leaned on the little eunuch, like a lazy kitten. After a moment, he pointed out: "Luohua is intentional, flowing water is ruthless."

The little eunuch smiled and said: "The empress is a flower, so the flowing water can't be the emperor, right?"

Liu Muchen said with a smile: "Maybe the emperor is also a flower, love triangles existed in any era."

The little eunuch wondered, "What is a love triangle?"

Liu Muchen said lazily: "I like you, you like him, and he likes me."

The little eunuch nodded thoughtfully, and at the right time, a sharp shout came from outside the garden: "The emperor is here——"

The sound of the piano that had been reverberating all night stopped abruptly. When Liu Muchen and the little eunuch saw Xiao Shixian coming in, they hurriedly got up and saluted, with their heads hanging lower than the other.

"I have already said that I will come tonight, why is my concubine so sad?" The door of the bedroom opened and closed, Xiao Shixian's voice was drowned in the concubine's laughter.

Liu Muchen looked at Yuanzi who had calmed down again in an instant, and a bright smile flashed in those bright eyes.

"Let's go." Liu Muchen brushed the dust off his robe, eager to try.

The little eunuch wondered, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Liushui." Liu Muchen said it smoothly, and after he realized it, he hurriedly corrected with a smile: "Go to Beiding Prince's Mansion."

The little eunuch put on a confused and innocent look. Seeing this, Liu Muchen smiled meaningfully: "Use the jade pendant."

The little eunuch remained silent for a moment, and a meaningful smile appeared on that honest and innocent face. He looked at Liu Muchen's hand stretched out in front of him, and asked, "When did you notice it?"

Some sharp eunuchs' voices became clearer, Liu Muchen smiled unsurprisingly, and said, "When you said you believed me."

Even Liu Muchen himself didn't expect that the doubts that had been lingering in his heart for a long time disappeared under the word "letter".

It was a very strange intuition. In this treacherous palace, if there was one person who would say "I believe in you", that person could only be...

A jade pendant with a warm texture was stuffed into his hand, and Liu Muchen couldn't help laughing when he saw the word "Yan" dancing on it.
