Ling Qi hadn't been out of the palace for a month in a row. The eighth concubine, who had been waiting every day, would look out of the palace full of anticipation at dawn, and would go back lonely at sunset.

"Princess, it may be that the prince is too busy. As long as His Majesty is in better health, the prince will be back. Don't worry about it." Seeing her alone, the maid next to her comforted her.

No matter how busy you are, you won't even have time to come back. It must be because the prince doesn't have this princess in his heart, right?She was in charge of serving after the eighth princess got married, so she naturally knew some rumors about someone in the palace.She kept her mouth tightly shut all the time, not daring to speak out, for fear of hurting the master she served.

The eighth concubine, the youngest daughter of an ordinary Li family in the capital, has a single name Ruo, and is considered well-known in the capital, and the reason for her fame is that she has never married at the age of [-].

One day, I ran into the Eighth Prince on the road, and after getting along for a while, the Eighth Prince invited His Majesty to marry them.

Until the big wedding, Li Ruo felt that he was dreaming.

How could the younger brother of His Majesty and the royal lord who is a doctor of censors fall in love with her who is unmarried and not outstanding in appearance?Although she knows some poems and songs, it is not enough to be the reason for the Eighth Prince to take a fancy to her.

The Eighth Prince was actually very kind to her after marriage, so good...to make himself like a dream, the two respect each other like guests, and when night falls, they will embrace each other and sleep.The Eighth Prince's desire is weak, and she doesn't think there is any difference. It's just that after getting married for a while, she wants a child more and more, and sometimes hints at the Eighth Prince, but the Eighth Prince doesn't seem to understand. When she wanted to take the initiative, the Eighth Prince was summoned into the palace overnight, and when she came back later, she saw an unprecedented expression, and she wanted to smile.

She thought there was something good to do, so she wanted to go up and ask, but the Eighth Prince ignored her, and ordered the eunuch beside him to pack some clothes for him, and then said to her, "Register for the emperor's brother" and left.

His Majesty is sick, why is the Eighth Prince so happy?

Li Ruo didn't think about it so much, so he stayed quietly in the palace, waiting for the Eighth Prince to come back, and the wait would be January.

She suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to take a good rest.

"I'll rest in the prince's study for a while, don't disturb me." After leaving this sentence, she walked directly towards the study.

The study is the place where the prince loves to stay, and he can feel the presence of the prince when he stays there.

Kou Dan pushed open the door of the study with clean, unsmeared hands like other noble ladies. After entering, he closed the door gently, then looked around the study, walked to the desk where Ling Qi worked, sat on the chair slowly, and read Books on the table.

Li Ruo was not very interested in these books, so he quickly looked at the brushes on the pen stand one by one.She has always liked these, so she studied them carefully. The brush placed in the middle of the pen holder is the best one in the pen holder. If she is not mistaken, this brush should be the ancient sheep hard hair brush in the Xuan brush. .

Li Ruo liked it very much, so he couldn't help touching it a few more times. His delicate palm touched an inconspicuous depression on the tip of the brush. He thought it was a unique mark of the brush, so he casually glanced at it.

"Xia?" The depression was not engraved with a brush, but engraved with seal script.

flaw?I always feel like I've heard it somewhere.Li Ruo didn't struggle for a long time. He hung the brush back to its original position. After reading the books on the table, he wondered if he should organize things for the Eighth Prince, and then opened the drawers one by one.

Put all the things in the drawer on the table, and sort them according to the things. At the end of the packing, there are only a few rigid boards left.

"My lord is still playing rigid?"

Curiously, he opened one of the stereotypes, and a stereotype engraved with the character '乱' appeared in his eyelids, and his eyelids blinked slightly. There is a small red mark in the depression of the word '质', which is particularly eye-catching when it is rigid.Touching the very smooth surrounding area, Li Ruo thought, the red marks were accidentally injured during the moment, right?

It seemed to catch a glimpse of some thought, and it disappeared in an instant.After thinking of a possibility, Li Ruo's eyes wet slightly, and she flipped over all the other stereotypes. When she saw the same word on the stereotypes, she leaned weakly on the chair, holding the stained piece in her hand. Stereotype of blood, limply hanging on the arm of the chair.

A drop of water from the corner of the eye lubricated into the temples, and the originally clear eyes were covered with a faint sorrow, and she was more confused than ever before, "Xia... is the one whom the prince cares about?" No one answered, and she didn't plan to ask anyone to answer her. When she regained her mood, she folded the stereotypes one by one and put them back in the drawer.

The maid who had been waiting outside the study was very happy when she saw the door opened, "Princess, it's already this hour, you must be hungry, my servant has prepared lunch for you, it's ready to use."

"kindness."

The maid looked depressedly at the study that had not been closed yet.Is she suspicious?I always feel that something is wrong with the princess just now.

may be.

After finishing the meal, the concubine said that she was going for a walk, and the maid hurriedly followed, but the concubine was still out of state, and she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

"flaw……"

The princess who was walking in front suddenly said such a sentence, which caused the maid to hallucinate herself, and then saw the princess stop, "I want to enter the palace."

"Huh?" By the time the maid came to her senses, Li Ruo had already walked ahead, walking hurriedly.

Ling Qi had been reviewing the papers for a long time, and when he finished his meal and was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, his princess came to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the princess who is used to waiting will come to the palace to look for him one day, it seems that he should find time to go back for a few days.

Li Ruo had never seen the palace, and like other women, she would always look around when she first entered the palace, she was in a bad mood today, she just took a few glances, and then she didn't have the heart to look any further.

She was happy to see her husband whom she had not seen for a long time, but what followed was a lot of uncertainty.

"My lord."

"coming?"

Ling Qi walked down, his face was still tired, and his smile was very perfunctory, which made Li Ruo's heart sink.

"kindness."

Entering the palace in a hurry, and did not bring any delicious food into the palace, Li Ruo thought angrily, but then he didn't know how to speak.Clutching the silk scarf in her little hand, Ling Qi saw the hesitant expression, and put one hand on his forehead, "Is there something going on in the palace today?"

"...En." After taking a few deep breaths, Li Ruo and Ling Qi looked at each other, "My lord, I am impatient, I must ask my lord something today."

Ling Qi wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Quick temper?The reason why I fell in love with this princess at the beginning was because she was soft-tempered and gentle, so why is she so quick-tempered now?

"Since there is a problem, let's talk about it."

The lack of evasive pupils made Li Ruo a little uncertain, and finally said hesitantly, "My lord, forgive me for being rude, dare to ask my lord, does 'Xia' refer to one person?"

Ling Qi glanced down slightly, and did not answer for a long time, Li Ruo felt that the prince had already told him the answer.

"The person my lord loves...is she?" The lord had told her before they got married that there was once someone in his heart, but Li Ruo didn't expect that the lord could not forget her so far.That being the case, why do you want to marry yourself?

Ling Qi didn't reply, Li Ruo lowered his eyebrows and asked again: "But because she's married to someone else?"

"Don't think about it, there will be no possibility for this king and him." Holding the hands of the woman in front of him, "Now this king is with you, and this king will also assure you that you are the only one in this life."

The eyelashes moved slightly, "Will the prince fall in love with the concubine?"

Ling Qi didn't answer, not because he didn't want to answer, but because he wasn't sure.

He married this woman because she had a temperament like a certain person, and he also wanted to have a child of his own.Every time he sees that person doting on the eldest prince Ling Mo so much, he can't help but wonder why this person likes children so much, is there... There is a reason he doesn't understand, and he wants to know.

He has never been a good person, and he doesn't feel sorry for this woman. It's all wishful thinking. She gave her youth, and he will spend his whole life taking care of her.

"I know the answer." With the same expression, I took out my hand, "I'm a little tired, and I want to go back to the mansion first, so I will resign."

"You can walk around the palace, you don't have to rush back. This king can go back with you in the evening."

Li Ruo didn't answer, just nodded as if he had heard it.

If you are in a bad mood, even if you are in the palace, will you be happy looking at something that pleases you?

Jiang Qianxue usually walks around in the afternoon, and then goes back to take a nap. She never thought that she would see other women in the palace one day.

After the canonization of Lord Mang, the women in the palace could hardly move around at will. Even if they came out, they had to make a detour immediately when they met Lord Mang. This was His Majesty's secret order.

Then at this moment, it can be seen that the woman who is not wearing a palace uniform is...

Thinking of who will take over the government now, Jiang Qianxue seems to have a little clarity, as if the Eighth Prince married a folk girl?

Walked forward, stood beside the woman, and looked in one direction together, "But the eighth princess?"

Li Ruo turned his head in surprise, and saw a beautiful woman, dressed like a concubine in the palace, standing silently beside her.Remembering what the Eighth Prince had said to her before, she immediately saluted and said, "Kowtow to Empress Xue." The Eighth Prince said that there is only one female concubine in the palace now, and that is the Empress Xue who gave birth to the eldest prince.

"Don't be too polite."

The two exchanged small greetings, and Jiang Qianxue saw that her brows were worried, so she couldn't help asking: "Is the eighth princess bothering you?"

I have never had any friends, and at this moment I was very annoyed, so I wanted to confide in it. After a long time, "Ms. Xuebi, what would you do if the person your Majesty likes is someone else?" Li Ruo sighed softly as soon as he finished speaking, "Yes. I'm being rude, how could Empress Xuebi be like this." The only female concubine in the palace, and also the only woman who gave birth to a prince, must be extremely favored, right?

Jiang Qianxue looked at her in surprise.

Originally thought that he was not favored by the name, the entire Ling country already knew it, but he didn't expect that it was not the case.

"It seems that you don't care about discussions outside the palace, but you must know who the person His Majesty loves the most in the palace. If you accidentally offend him in the future, His Majesty will not spare you." Jiang Qianxue kindly said reminded.

Perhaps Jiang Qianxue's words were too heavy, which made Li Ruo immediately nervous, "Isn't it your mother?" Also, is that person so... narrow-minded?Can't tolerate others saying a word about him?

Jiang Qianxue could tell from Li Ruo's appearance that she had misunderstood.

"Your Majesty loves Mr. Mang the most, you have to remember it well. Mr. Mang has a good temper, but His Majesty forbids anyone to disrespect him."

Mr. Mang?Li Ruo thought of the day she married the Eighth Prince, was there a man standing beside His Majesty?

"Even the empress?"

"Me? In the eyes of His Majesty, I am not as good as a hair of Mr. Mang. If Mr. Mang hadn't interceded, I wouldn't be standing here."

After chatting with Jiang Qianxue for a long time, Li Ruo suddenly felt that he was happy, at least... the prince can look forward to it, and the concubine Xue...

In the evening, she and the prince left the palace together.

Many years later, Li Ruo learned by chance that Mr. Mang's name was mentioned by the Snow Concubine.

No surname, only a single name with the word 'Xia'.
