male princess

The nanny and the second brother are fine.He couldn't just plead for his second brother, but he wished to implicate other people in the Hou Mansion.

Xi Yincang didn't make a sound, Zhi Luo felt nervous for a while, her hand holding onto his lapel tightened unconsciously, and her face couldn't help but turn a little pale.Xi Yincang raised his hand to caress his cheek, and sighed: "It's not clear what to do with me, let's get fatter first, otherwise it won't be comfortable to hold, and it won't be pleasant to eat." The words are ambiguous, but after thinking about it for a while, I understand it, and read it angrily.

Xi Yincang took a look, but didn't dare to attack.

"Huh? What? Don't you want to?" Xi Yincang pinched his chin, not knowing why he likes to pinch him like this, it's slippery, every time he speaks and moves, it's in his palm.

"No, no, as long as the prince doesn't pursue other people's crimes, Zhi Luo will be at the disposal of the prince."

"Well, that's about the same."

"Then, my lord, am I continuing to pretend to be a woman?"

"Of course, you are my concubine. The two people who came here today belong to me. You can rest assured that they will not reveal anything. It is best to let Jiyue follow you all the time. She has some skills. If you go out There are many happy people, so take her with you." Xi Yincang lay down and pulled Zhiluo close to his arms, and whispered on top of his head.

"Go out? Can I go out?" Zhi Luo was extremely excited when she heard this, and raised her head to look at Xi Yincang, her eyes were shining like stars in the sky, twinkling and twinkling.When he came to this world, he never went out or went shopping, and he only heard what Tweety said about what it looked like here.He thought in his heart that Xi Yincang was a pretty good person, maybe he would have meat to eat after following him.hey-hey

Xi Yincang stared at his dark eyes, looked at him silly and happy, suddenly felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart, thinking that he would be easy to feed and coax: "Well, yes, take Jiyue with you when you go out, and go home before dark , don’t make troubles. But there is a condition.”

The corner of Zhi Luo's mouth cracked, and just as he was about to thank Xi Yincang, he heard a turning point from Xi Yincang, the half-cracked corner of his mouth twitched, hehe, did he get carried away and forgot who he was.

Xi Yincang looked at his expression and secretly smiled: "The condition is that you must not hide anything from me in the future. If that masked man comes to you again, he must tell me verbatim. Also report to me truthfully. If you dare to lie to me, I will not forgive you."

Zhi Luo looked at his suddenly stern eyes, swallowed her saliva, and nodded quickly: "Got it, I'll be obedient." Zhi Luo thought to himself, Xiaoyao Pavilion or a masked man, it's useless to be imprisoned all the time However, the big tree of the prince is still worth relying on. After all, as long as he is obedient, he will have food, drink and someone to serve him, and his elder brother Tweety and the others will be fine.As for chastity, he can accept things between men. He has many friends in his era, but when he thinks about it, he always feels a little disappointed. He thinks that he must have been a woman for a long time and has become sentimental .Well, of course he admitted that he was still afraid of death.

☆, Pearl

Zhi Luo lived the life of a princess, eating and drinking, being served and not bothered, and she was indescribably comfortable.He didn't see Xi Yincang much, but every time he saw him, he still felt nervous.

When Zhiluo woke up this day, he was still alone on the bed, but the bed next to him was still warm. He just vaguely felt that someone was going to bed and hugged him every night. He knew it was Xi Yincang. He was never a hypocritical person. It's nothing, on the contrary, with Xi Yincang by his side, he felt a lot more at ease. He who always felt light came here these days and slept soundly every night.

Zhi Luo stretched comfortably.Now that his life is saved, his elder brother Tweety and the others are fine, and he still eats and drinks in front of the princess, so he naturally relaxes.Cui'er and Jiyue heard the movement and came in to serve. Jiyue put the water basin on the shelf, and Cui'er came to help the young lady get dressed.

Jiyue has always had a calm face, no expression, respectful and reasonable, and not very talkative.Zhi Luo knew that she had kung fu, and she was someone close to Xi Yincang, so she didn't dare to order her around, so she quickly took her and wiped her face: "Sister Jiyue, I have always been used to doing these things by myself, what's the matter, Sister Jiyue?" Help me block it, I can do it myself."

Jiyue smiled slightly, until she had a chic taste, and returned respectfully and generously: "Princess, you don't have to be cautious, we all follow the rules of the princess, and you can do whatever you think is good."

Cui'er blinked and looked at the two of them. She already knew that Jiyue knew that his young lady was a man and was sent by the prince.

Zhi Luo smiled, and scratched her nose: "Tui'er, Sister Jiyue is one of my own, she will help us in the future, if you have difficulties in doing things or don't understand, you can go to Sister Jiyue for help."

.

After Zhi Luo packed up and dressed, he went to the outer hall to have dinner, because he knew that Xi Yincang had already arranged everything in this yard, so he just casually pulled his hair and put on a hosta, and didn't put on any makeup.Outside, Yinger and Zhuer had already prepared food.

When Zhi Luo saw Zhu'er, she quickly put away the expression on her face, walked over calmly and slowly.Zhu'er is from the Hou's mansion, Zhi Luo is still on guard, Jiyue has a clear mind, she winks at Ying'er and said: "You guys go down, I'll just take care of you with Cui'er."

Ying'er understood, and pulled Zhu'er to salute: "I see that the flowers in the garden are blooming well. Sister Zhu'er and I went to pick some flower branches for the princess." Zhu'er did not have any reluctance, and followed out.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhi Luo relaxed and asked Cui Er and Ji Yue to sit down and have breakfast together.Tweety sat down quickly and scooped up porridge for his master, without any surprise.Jiyue hesitated for a while, and sat down beside her, but didn't go to get food.Tweety helped Zhiluo make some good food for him to eat, and she started to eat it herself.

"Jiyue, there is no one else, you can eat quickly, and when there are outsiders, you can ignore those rules." Zhiluo stuffed a steamed bun in his mouth, and said while holding a crystal steamed dumpling for Jiyue.Jiyue only felt a strange feeling in her heart. She was originally the prince's secret guard, with a temperament that accompanied her everywhere, and she was not pretentious. She lowered her head and ate slowly.

, still not speaking.In the past few days, she also got a little understanding of the princess's temperament, but she still didn't dare to neglect the rules that should be followed.

"Miss, eat slowly and have some porridge." Tweety ate a few mouthfuls by herself, and then took care of her master.

"Tweety, this is so delicious, I've never eaten these, what's in it?" Zhi Luo just felt that she didn't have enough mouth, life in the palace is a luxury, breakfast is so rich.

Jiyue looked at the two master and servant from the side, feeling novel in her heart, she had never seen such a master and servant before.Their concubine is really special, and she is actually a man, but only such a special person is worthy of being their concubine.

The garden of the Wangfu is very large, and it is already the beginning of summer, and the flowers are in full bloom.Ying'er was holding a small basket, and carefully selected, Zhu'er's eyes were looking around, but her mind was not on the flowers.

"Sister Ying'er, the palace is really big, with so many courtyards, if I were here, I would definitely get lost." Zhu'er smiled sweetly, revealing two small dimples.

"It's best not to run around when you don't have anything to do, just wait in the princess's yard. Especially don't go to the front yard casually, it is the important place for the prince's study, you remember clearly." Ying'er told Zhu'er over and over while cutting the flower branches.

Zhu'er's eyes flickered, and she glanced outside: "Yes, Zhu'er made a note of it, thank you sister Ying'er for reminding me." After speaking, she also began to choose flower branches.

From a distance, Zhu'er caught sight of a figure flashing by the corner of the door, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled: "Sister Ying'er, I think the roses are blooming well over there, I'll go pick some petals for the princess to bathe in."

Yinger nodded, not paying much attention.

Zhuer carried the small flower basket and walked towards the main road of the garden. A cluster of roses was in full bloom near the main road. She raised her hand to pick the petals, and glanced at the direction of the main road from time to time.When he saw that tall and handsome figure approaching, he didn't know whether he was absorbed in it or did not pay attention, but his fingertip was pricked by a flower thorn, and blood came out.Zhu Er couldn't hold back any of them, and let out a cry.

Hearing the voice, Xi Yincang looked this way, Zhu'er hurriedly brought the basket over, knelt down and saluted and said hello: "I have met the prince, and the prince is blessed."

"Which courtyard girl are you? What are you doing here so early in the morning? You disturbed the prince?" Butler Lin, the housekeeper next to the prince, spoke.

"The slave girl is the maid who came with the princess. She helped the princess pick petals while the flowers were blooming well, and accidentally pricked her finger." As she spoke, Zhu'er raised her head slightly, her eyes were a little frightened and shy, I saw You Lian, took a look at Xi Yincang and immediately lowered his head, the indescribable little daughter mentality.

"Oh? What's the name of the one in the concubine's room?" Xi Yincang recalled with a lazy voice, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was in a good mood.

Zhu'er summoned up her courage again and raised her head. Facing Xi Yincang's clear eyes, she felt flustered in her heart. She hurriedly lowered her eyes and replied softly, "Zhu'er."

"Zhu'er, hehe, there are so many beauties in the Hou's mansion."

.Go ahead and serve the princess well. "Xi Yincang took a deep look at Zhu'er, then turned and left. Butler Lin hurriedly followed her.

Zhu'er knelt on the spot, calmed down a bit, and couldn't stop a burst of joy in her heart.Hearing Yinger's greeting at this time, she got up and went over quickly.

Xi Yincang and Butler Lin left the garden and walked towards the inner courtyard. Butler Lin narrowed his shrewd eyes: "My lord, do you want to just respond to Yinger?"

"Well, tell Ying'er not to watch too closely, just serve and watch, there is no need to restrict." Xi Yincang smiled and gave Lin Butler a sideways look: "This kind of thing, you have to be careful."

Butler Lin shuddered and coughed dryly. His lord laughed again. Sure enough, what Mr. Zi Xun said was right, someone was going to be in trouble.Seeing that there was no other order, Steward Lin quickly stepped back and disappeared.

Xi Yincang rubbed his chin: The housekeeper has exhausted his skills again, ha ha.

The servants in Zhiluo's courtyard are naturally arranged people. They know that the princess likes to be quiet, and if they see the princess coming out, they will greet her and leave quietly.

On this day, Zhi Luo asked someone to set up a rattan chair under the flower tree in the yard. The sun was warm, and she lay here basking in the sun after she was full.There are only Cui'er and Jiyue by her side.

But Zhi Luo knew that it was not in the small courtyard of the Hou Mansion after all, so it was inevitable that someone would see her, so she was not too presumptuous.Cui'er and Jiyue sat on a small stone bench beside them, chatting and drinking tea together.In fact, Cui'er was chatting with Zhiluo, and Jiyue was listening.After all, Tweety is used to getting along with Zhiluo, and she has always had no respect, just like "sisters", who should be brothers and sisters, and now there is no outsider, so she doesn't feel restrained.

"Miss, why don't you get up and take a walk? You ate so much just now, so don't sit still." Cui'er stuffed a grape into Zhiluo's mouth, and stuffed another into Jiyue's mouth. I was taken aback, and ate it with a smile.Jiyue thought, you know the princess eats a lot, so you even gave her fruit.Princess Wang and Cui'er are both pure and kind-hearted, and she likes them in her heart.

Zhi Luo thought about her recent experience, she had never been so startled in two lifetimes.In the past, I was quiet and quiet, no one cared about me, and my life was not good, but I can't say it was hard.Don't care about their intrigues and intrigues, and don't be greedy for the warmth of family affection.It was his home there, but he never regarded it as his own home. The only thing he cared about was that stupid second brother, maybe because of blood relatives.It wasn't until Mrs. Yu really got the power and title, at his age, that he realized how embarrassing and dangerous his situation was.He thought that he would die sooner or later, but he was afraid of death when things came to an end.Now that he is well-clothed and well-fed, and someone is protecting him comprehensively, he can no longer muster up that courage.As if all this was just a dream, he didn't know why Xi Yincang did this, maybe the current situation didn't allow it, maybe he had other uses, maybe it was related to that Xiaoyao Pavilion. . . . . .He's not stupid. Although he doesn't have such deep thoughts, he can still understand the big things.He was only afraid that he would be greedy for this comfortable life and couldn't extricate himself.

As soon as Xi Yincang entered the door,

Seeing under the sun, in the rattan chair, his little princess's blue hair was like a waterfall, casually pulled up, no jewels, no traces of makeup, but she was indescribably fresh and graceful.However, there was indeed a look of confusion and loneliness on his face.Xi Yincang frowned slightly, he had seen him pretending to be indifferent and gentle in front of outsiders, he had seen him be ashamed and flustered after being bullied, he had seen him be as quiet and obedient as a baby after falling asleep, I have seen him jumping and excited when he is really happy, but I have never seen this look at this time, I just don't like him like this.

When Jiyue saw the prince coming in, she quickly got up to salute, and Cui'er followed suit.Zhi Luo watched Xi Yincang approaching, but didn't get up, but raised a big smiling face, smiling so hard that his eyes crooked: "My lord."

Xi Yincang was shaken by that smile for a moment, his heart seemed to be illuminated by a beam of bright sunshine, driving away fatigue and haze.He waved his hand to let Jiyue and the two back down, and sat next to Zhiluo: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Zhi Luo put away her thoughts just now and shook her head: "No." But he couldn't come up with any reason or excuse.Zhi Luo despises her own sentimentality once again, it's outrageous for a big man to think so much about his sons and daughters.

Xi Yincang raised his hand, but before he moved, Zhi Luo immediately covered his chin: "Your Majesty, don't pinch my chin. It would be ugly to leave a mark. I'm so shameless."

Xi Yincang couldn't help laughing, seeing him showing his true side in front of him, not pretending, he was in a much better mood, so he didn't look into it anymore, just patted his head and said: "Well, okay, but, you remember If you promise me, don't hide anything from me, and tell me the truth if you have something to say."

Zhi Luo avoids his hand, he seems to have heard that if he gets touched all the time, he won't grow taller, and he can still grow for several years, but now it's only on Xi Yincang's shoulders, it's too shocking.

"Isn't the lord busy with official business, why come here when you have time?" Zhi Luo couldn't help but look at the handsome face of the man in front of him. He hadn't seen him for several days, but he felt someone hugging him in the middle of the night. of.While he was thankful for his chrysanthemum, he was also a little disappointed, worrying about gains and losses.

"Why, miss me." Xi Yincang smiled jokingly, and leaned over with his whole body.

Zhi Luo rolled her eyes unobservably: "No, I'm just asking casually, eh~~" Before he could finish speaking, someone bit his lips and was ravaged for a while.

"But I miss you a little bit. You little thing, spoiling you for a few days has become unruly, and you dare to roll your eyes at me. Huh?" After kissing for a while, Xi Yincang reached out to pinch the tender flesh on his face.

Zhi Luo panted a little from being kissed, and blushed awkwardly, her face was pulled out of shape, and she followed Xi Yincang's strength and leaned towards his hand: "I didn't roll my eyes, my lord misread it. It hurts, it hurts, my lord. "

Xi Yincang didn't dare to really pinch, so he let go, Zhi Luo quickly covered his face and moved away.

"The sixth day of next month is the Queen's birthday, and Luo'er will accompany me to the palace to attend the birthday banquet. You should prepare in advance and let Ying'er tell you about the things in the palace.

Follow the rules, lest something goes wrong when you get it. "

"Well, I got it." Zhi Luo knew it was a serious matter, and nodded obediently: "My lord, please call me by my full name. It's Mrs. Luo'er, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Is there? I think it sounds nice."

"..."

"You can also call me by my name when no one is around. I like to hear you call me that." Xi Yincang pointed out something and smiled ambiguously.

Zhi Luo remembered the night of getting married, she called Xi Yincang's name to invite pets, she was very embarrassed, coughed twice, and said haha: "Hehe, how dare I, my lord."

Seeing his appearance, Xi Yincang felt better and couldn't help laughing.

☆, Hou's mansion is on fire

There was a lot of discussion in the mansion about the marriage of the young lady of Hou's mansion. Usually, the young lady was treated indifferently, and she stayed in the small courtyard without going out.People in the family have always followed the wind, no one cared about such a person.Unexpectedly, this unfavored eldest lady suddenly married a prince and became a princess.Some people say that the prince fell in love with the eldest lady at the first sight at the flower viewing party earlier, and asked the imperial decree to marry him. Others said that the prince was already 26 years old and stayed in the army all year round. He married so late because he liked men and married for the sake of face. It's a wife, and the eldest lady will be married if she is not favored.It wasn't until Mrs. Yu punished a few maidservants that these rumors stopped.

On this day, in Yu's house, Yan Mingxuan, Yu's eldest son, came to pay his respects.Yan Mingxuan is the heir of the Marquis. Back then, Yan Xiaoru assisted the emperor to ascend the throne, and made a lot of contributions. He won this title and was able to inherit it. Now, he only has these two sons born by the Yu family. When he abdicates in the future, he will naturally be Yan Mingxuan inherited.If Ming Jin is not stupid, it should be Ming Jin. Although the Yu family is now the main wife, but it was filled later when the position became vacant, Ming Jin is indeed the real heir. ,

Yan Mingxuan is 22 years old this year, and has already married a wife. It was Yan Xiaoru who made the choice. He is quite satisfied with this son, but he is a little indecisive, and he is not ruthless in front of big things.He helped him with everything he could to help lay the groundwork. I hope this son can make a difference.

Yan Mingxuan looks more like Yan Xiaoru, and has more expressive features than Yan Xiaoru. He doesn't seem to have any special features. In Zhiluo's words, his aura is a bit weak.At this time, he was talking with his mother, Yu Shi looked at this son, and was happy in his heart, but remembering that Zhiluo became a princess, and Zhixi had nowhere to go, he couldn't help but feel upset: "Zhixi is not young anymore, I don't know your father I'm busy every day but I don't see anyone, and I don't give you any help. She is your own sister. You should take care and help. Look at that girl Zhiluo, she is lucky. I said at the time, why is it so A good marriage is not given to Zhixi."

"Mother, father has his own reasons for doing things. Many things are not as simple as you think. Don't talk about these things with outsiders. I will think about my sister. The birthday of the sixth queen, now mother, you are the Houfu Madam, you can go there naturally, and then bring your younger sister to see more scenes." Mingxuan comforted Mrs Yu, but Mrs Yu didn't know, he still knew the reason why Zhiluo was married.But he didn't dare to tell Yu Shi about this.He is now slowly getting in touch with political affairs, and Yan Xiaoru also let him know some things, guiding him to learn how to do things.

After listening to her son's words, Mrs. Yu felt much more at ease, and after chatting for a few more words, she asked Mingxuan to leave.After watching her son leave, she found someone and ordered them to prepare clothes and jewelry for Zhixi, thinking that she would show her face while entering the palace for a banquet.

It was night, in Yan Xiaoru's study, Yan Xiaoru was standing respectfully aside, the chair was sitting in none other than the third prince Xi Haochen, he turned the emerald jade finger wrench for a while without making a sound,

"The third prince

, although this person has entered Dinghui Prince's Mansion, it is difficult to gain anything in a short time, I am afraid we have to be patient and wait. "Yan Xiaoru reported in a low voice: "As for the theory of the prince cutting off his sleeve, it is reported that it should be a rumor, so our plan should be flawless, and he would not be able to resist that poison. "

"Well, don't act too hastily, you must be careful. There hasn't been much contact between him and the second prince recently, but I don't know if it's real or just a play, you should find a way to test it out." Xi Haochen stared at the white jade paperweight on the table in a daze, As he spoke, he seemed to be thinking again: "Recently there are always news leaks. If there is nothing special, I will not show up anymore. You can handle the rest at your discretion. Change all the people and location codes you contact, and you should be more careful."

Yan Xiaoru was startled: "Who could it be?"

"Still investigating, please be careful, I can't stay longer." Said, Xi Haochen stood up with a frown, feeling restless, waved away.

Yan Xiaoru was worried, he was always feeling uneasy for a while, and always felt that something bad was going to happen, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything wrong.He paced back and forth for a few steps, but finally he was worried, and pulled up a pen holder that was a bit fluffed. There was a sound, and the bookshelf moved a gap. Yan Xiaoru opened the hidden compartment and took out the letters inside, and burned them all in front of the candle. into ashes.After burying the ashes in a flowerpot in the corner, he felt relieved and left the study for the inner courtyard.

As soon as Yan Xiaoru left, a black figure silently appeared in the study room, wearing a mask and unable to see his face clearly, it was the hero Zhi Luo had seen.His eyes flickered, a ray of light was hidden in his eyes, he glanced at the flower pot in the corner, turned around and walked out through the window, disappearing into the boundless dark night.

It was already late at night, and the Hou Mansion was completely quiet.Suddenly, in the courtyard at the back of the Hou Mansion, a burst of fire flickered, and the fire grew bigger and bigger. Only then did someone notice it, and there was a moment of confusion.

Yan Xiaoru had just promised Mrs. Yu to pay attention to Zhixi's marriage, and was about to take a rest from exhaustion, when a servant came to report that the courtyard behind was on fire, and it belonged to Mingjin.Yan Xiaoru put on his clothes again, asked about the extent of the fire, and ordered people to rush to put out the fire and save people.Although he thought for a moment that Ming Jin might be burned to death, but this thought also passed in a flash.

The fire was quickly brought under control, except for the small yards at the back that burned, but it didn't spread too widely. Zhiluo's yard was empty, and there were no people there. Two night watch servants suffered some injuries, but they were not serious.After the fire was extinguished, everyone listened to the nanny's cries. The second young master was still inside, and a few strong servants rushed in to find someone. Not long after, they found the second young master under a gap between a beam, with his head on He was slashed, unconscious, and had no serious burns.Everyone hurriedly carried him out, the steward ordered people to report to the master, and at the same time sent a servant to invite the doctor. He led several people to carry Ming Jin to the room in the empty yard ahead. No one lived in Jin's mother's yard.

The Hou Mansion was in chaos.Yan Xiaoru heard that Ming Jin was injured, so he followed the boy to see the situation.Yu's face

She was so worried that she asked the maidservant to serve her, but she was very gloating in her heart, thinking that it would be best if the fool could not be rescued, so that she would not be troubled when she thought of him. Back then, her life was so hard, and she had a good time. I was frightened for a while.

Yan Xiaoru came over and entered the yard, feeling restless, he rarely came to this yard.

The doctor in the room stopped Ming Jin's blood and wrapped his head, checked his pulse, and was running a pharmacy.The nanny's eyes were red from crying, and she looked straight at Mingjin.She didn't understand how the fire started so well.At night, Mingjin's small yard doesn't light a single lamp, and there is only one lamp in the house. She has always been cautious. What's even more strange is that she still sleeps so deeply when it catches fire, and wakes up still. Outside the door, seeing Ming Jin's pale face on the bed, the nanny didn't think about it carefully, but kept calling Ming Jin in a low voice, and at the same time took a wet handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

When the doctor saw Lord Hou come in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.Yan Xiaoru went to the bed and took a look, then called the butler: "Why did it catch fire, did you find out?"

"Still investigating, it is estimated that someone fell asleep at night, didn't pay attention, and caused it by the candle." The housekeeper was very capable, and after a while, the house was no longer in a mess, and everyone was assigned to clean up and patrol.

Yan Xiaoru nodded, asked the doctor about Ming Jin's situation, gave a few simple instructions, and then went back.For some reason, the uneasiness in his heart surged up again.

After Yan Xiaoru left, the rest of the people also dispersed. The doctor gave the prescription to the nanny, instructed the places to be careful with the medicine, and left with a sigh.

All of a sudden, the room became quiet again, and the nurse felt sad for a while, and now in the former master's room, there was another burst of emotion.I thought to myself: Madame, you must keep the young master safe.The nurse was sad for a while, and seeing that Ming Jin was still awake, she covered him with the quilt, closed the door, and went to the doctor to get the medicine.

Yan Xiaoru frowned and went back to Mrs Yu's room in Xinruiyuan.Mrs. Yu hurriedly got up to serve her, and asked with a worried look on her face, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious, he was knocked unconscious, and burned two small yards, so nothing was damaged." Yan Xiaoru took a sip of hot tea, took off the coat he was wearing, and handed it to Mrs Yu.

"Since that's the case, don't worry about it, master. You've worked hard all day, go to rest early, and you have to get up early tomorrow." Yu Shi was gentle and considerate, looking at Yan Xiaoru's face with a slightly relaxed expression, and smiled softly. smiled.

Yan Xiaoru responded sullenly, and said casually: "I don't know who I offended, none of the children in the backyard survived, alas!" He seemed to be recalling something and fell into deep thought.

Yu shi raised his head, bowed his head and said nothing.

☆, the second imperial concubine

In summer, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and I can already hear a few cicada calls from time to time.The branches and leaves on the trees are already lush and green, and the lotus flowers are just showing their sharp corners, and they will probably bloom in a few days.Liu Wanyi was leaning against the lotus pond at this time, staring at the surface of the pond in a daze.She has a good temperament, and she has never liked bright and bright colors. She often wears a simple moon white gauze skirt with a white jade butterfly hairpin pinned to her hair. The smell of the mundane world, and a bit of helplessness that I still feel pitiful for.From afar, she looks like a white lotus blooming quietly in the pond.

"Sister is so excited. The lotus is not in bloom yet, so I came early to appreciate it. I mistook my sister for a lotus from a distance." The gorgeous woman in lavender palace attire paced unhurriedly, the golden steps inlaid with rubies on her head swayed once, and swayed on that bright and moving face. She looks like seven or eight, but there is an indescribable coquettishness about her.There was a friendly smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes just by looking closely.

Liu Wanyi quickly got up: "My sister is here. I have nothing to do. I came here to get some air. I can't compare to my sister. I am radiant, just like the roses in the yard." Saying that, Liu Wanyi smiled softly.This side concubine Mao is indeed a beauty, even if she stands with the prime minister's daughter, the number one beauty in the capital, she probably won't lose a bit.The second prince must also like it very much, which man doesn't love beauty.Thinking of this, Liu Wanyi panicked, she didn't know what happened recently, she always thought of that man.

"I hope I didn't bother my sister." Mao'er covered her mouth and smiled lightly, with a sisterly affectionate look.

"How could it be? Younger sister is well-behaved and sensible, and it's too late for my sister to have more people to chat with." Liu Wanyi is actually two years younger than Lao'er, but she has a high status, so she has become an older sister.

"Sister, I heard that it will be the Empress's birthday in a few days. At that time, the ministers and family members of the court will be entertained. My sister will definitely accompany the second prince to the palace for the banquet. I see that my sister usually doesn't like to wear anything. At home, I still need to pay more attention to it, I saw a golden silk peony hairpin a few days ago, it is very suitable for my sister, don't be too disgusted with my sister." Mao'er said, and took a delicate pear wood carving hairpin from the girl behind her. Open the box. Inside the box with a red background, there is a golden silk peony the size of a child's palm. It is made of gold threads. It looks delicate and elegant, but it is too gorgeous and eye-catching according to Liu Wanyi's preferences.

"It's my younger sister who treats me well and always thinks of me. I haven't been in the palace much, but I ignore it. It's just how to make my younger sister spend money, and this is too expensive." Liu Wanyi quickly declined.

"My sister is treating me like an outsider. You will feel sad if you don't want me." Lao Er said, pouted, pretending to be angry.Immediately with a smile, he closed the box and stuffed it into Liu Wanyi's arms.

Liu Wanyi couldn't shirk it, so she accepted it with a smile, and handed it to the maid behind her.The maid took it, but

Suddenly his face turned pale, and he was frightened: "Snake, snake!!!"

At this time, a long black snake suddenly came out of nowhere, and arrived not far from Mao'er and Liu Wanyi's feet.A group of women were terrified, and Mao'er was protected by the girl and quickly retreated to the side, her little hands clutching her chest in fright.

Liu Wanyi has been standing by the pond, with the pond behind her, for a while, she stood there not daring to move, her little face was pale, she was most afraid of these snakes, insects and rats.At this moment, the girl holding the box calmed down, and quickly stretched out her hand to pull Liu Wanyi: "Second Imperial Concubine, hurry up." She pulled the master and walked to the side, her hands were shaking.The snake suddenly raised its head and spit out the snake letter.Liu Wanyi was startled, her feet twitched, and her body tilted towards the lotus pond.

"Sister!!!" Mao'er exclaimed, a flash of light flashed across his eyes.

Liu Wanyi was afraid in her heart, when she suddenly felt warm in her hands and tight around her waist, she fell into a warm embrace, with a familiar smell.Inexplicably, I was relieved and settled down.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Xi Haoting tightened his arms slightly, seeing that the person in his arms was still in shock, panting slightly, the color on his lips was almost gone, he couldn't help raising his hand to gently caress her cheek, comforting her in a warm voice.

Liu Wanyi raised her head, looked at his gentle smile, there was worry in his eyes, and his big palms were warm, her heart that was frightened and pounding suddenly calmed down, when she heard the murmur like a clear spring In the ear, the calm heart suddenly seemed to stop beating for a moment.The head is also fluttering.

At this time, Lao'er suddenly came over and threw herself into Xi Haoting's arms. Seemingly unintentional, Liu Wanyi was pushed aside, and Lao'er had panic and tears on his face: "Wuuu, Second Prince, you scared me to death." The second prince's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to pat him on the back: "Is Mao'er injured?"

Mao'er burrowed into his arms and shook his head.

Liu Wanyi left that embrace, feeling empty and disappointed again.He lowered his head and stood aside.

The snake had already been disposed of by the guards next to the second prince, he was worried, and asked two more people to check the surroundings.

Mao'er kept crying, and the second prince coaxed her for a long time, but he couldn't help but sent her back.Xi Haoting glanced at Liu Wanyi, hesitation flashed across his eyes, and finally he raised his arms and carried Mao'er to Mao'er's residence, and at the same time told the guards beside him: "Chang Qi, escort the princess back."

Back in the house, Liu Wanyi's heart felt blocked for a while, she didn't know why, but she just felt a little unhappy.The girl Xiaolian thought that the master was frightened, so she hurried to get some soothing soup. After drinking the soothing soup, Liu Wanyi felt tired and tired, so she lay down and fell asleep.She didn't seem to be sleeping very peacefully, her brows were furrowed all the time.

Liu Wanyi didn't know how long she had been sleeping in a daze, she felt the coolness on her wrists, she opened her eyes, she was so frightened that her face paled, she let out a scream, and quickly waved her hand, a black-green snake was thrown towards the door , at this time a figure flashed in quickly, swiped his sword, and the snake became two sections.

The man quickly knelt down on one knee: "Damn Chang Qi, for frightening the second imperial concubine. I'm going to find the imperial physician." Chang Qi became suspicious. Once it was an accident, there was a snake in this room.

Liu Wanyi was just frightened, but fortunately she was not injured, the imperial doctor prescribed a prescription to soothe the nerves and retreated, Xiao Lian did not dare to leave, and guarded her master.He sent other little girls to get the medicine and boil it.But Liu Wanyi didn't dare to sleep anymore, when she closed her eyes, there were green snakes spitting out letters in front of her.

"Greetings to the second prince." Seeing the second prince coming in, Xiao Lian quickly stood up and saluted.

Xi Haoting went to the bed and sat down, raised his hand to stop Liu Wanyi who was going to salute, and sent Xiao Lian away with a wave of his hand.At this moment, there was no usual warm smile on his face, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was a little angry and worried.He looked at the person on the bed with his head lowered, grasping the corner of the quilt, the knuckles of his fingers turned white, and stretched out his hand to wrap those small hands: "I asked Chang Qi to stay outside all the time. It's okay. The housekeeper is already checking. Sprinkle the powder, and there will be no more."

Liu Wanyi didn't say anything, she still lowered her head.She looked still scared, and seemed to be acting coquettishly.At this time, Xiao Lian brought medicine and wanted to feed it to Liu Wanyi, Xi Haoting personally took it.Xiao Lian took a look at her master, and retreated knowingly.

Xi Haoting blew on the decoction and handed it to Liu Wanyi's mouth, and Liu Wanyi drank it obediently.Only then did Xi Haoting heave a sigh of relief. Just as he stood up and was about to take a step, he felt someone grabbing the corner of his sleeve and looked down.Liu Wanyi looked up at him timidly, a few small teeth marks were bitten on her lips, she grabbed his sleeve and did not let go.

"Don't go, I
