The princess's light and ingenious words stabbed into Xiaohua's heart.
All kinds of words swirled in his throat, and finally swallowed into his stomach. She thought she could be at ease, but miscalculated her body's response.
Since I was pregnant, my eyelids have been shallow, my mood fluctuated easily, my body reacted faster than my heart, and a bunch of tears rolled down. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the Crown Princess at the moment. She lowered her head and wiped it with a handkerchief. He thought that his actions were secret enough, but he didn't know that he had already fallen into the eyes of the man beside him.
Luo Jing patted her hand and was about to speak, when Yiyi's milky voice sounded.
"Brother, what did she mean? What is mother?"
"Mother means mother, don't pay attention to her, she is a liar."
"Do you want to trick the little doll into selling it?"
"Yeah, so don't talk to her."
In view of the fact that when she was in Dongyulin Lane, Xiaohua once told her two children not to talk to people she didn't know, because now someone outside would abduct dolls and sell them. Both Ye'er and Yiyi still have fresh memories, especially Ye'er who often acts as her sister's teacher.
When Yiyi heard that she was going to kidnap the baby to sell, she immediately ran towards Luo Jing with her brother, shouting as she ran, "Shunshun, hit the kidnapper... Father has kidnappers and wants to trick baby Yiyi into selling it... "
The only trace of discomfort in Xiao Hua's heart was also amused by her daughter's childish words.
She squatted down and didn't say anything else, just said: "Yiyi, don't be so ignorant of the rules. There are so many people here that no one will kidnap you to sell..."
The Crown Princess wanted to disgust Tao Liangdi, but she didn't expect to be ridiculed as a kidnapper and a liar by two children less than three years old, and the kindness on her face couldn't be hung up, and it was cracked one by one.
"Your Highness—"
"Prince Concubine is unwell, send her back to rest." Luo Jing said coldly.
Screaming like a hen strangled by the neck, stopped abruptly, "You, you... cough, cough..."
Fu Shun raised his face coldly and raised his thick eyebrows, "You guys don't see it, the Crown Princess is not feeling well, so why don't you try to persuade me? How can you run out of this winter and be blown by the cold wind?"
The palace servants who waited on the side of the crown princess were all dispatched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were managed by Gui Fushun. Seeing that the prince was displeased, Fu Shun was angry, and he was busy helping the prince to the door. The prince was struggling to say something, but the situation couldn't be helped. What kind of help was this? It was obviously dragging. She was weak and coughed. More than that, they could only be helped away.
The door was almost empty, and Qiao Liangdi, who came with the Crown Princess, disappeared without a trace.
"Go in, the local solitary has been selected, just next to the solitary courtyard."
Xiaohua nodded and dragged the two children into the gate of the East Palace with Luo Jing.
…
Xiaohua's yard is indeed very close to the prince, Luo Jing's study is on the central axis of the East Palace, and Xiaohua's yard is a little behind. From the back corner door of the study, you can directly enter the yard of Xiaohua through a door.
As soon as you enter the large yard, the sparrow is small but complete. In fact, it is not too small. The yard in the palace is naturally not comparable to the outside, it is more than several times larger. In particular, the East Palace is the residence of the princes of all dynasties, and it is naturally built to be magnificent and not a human thing.
"The move is in a hurry, so it's all simple. If you're not used to it, just tell Aunt Qi."
Xiaohua grabbed Luo Jing's hand and looked around with a smile, "Why don't you get used to it, the place is so good."
"Did the child bother you?"
"Fortunately, it's just a little morning sickness and a bad appetite. Mother Xu said it's normal."
"Well, all the people who served in the western courtyard are in this courtyard, so don't hold back on what you want to eat."
Luo Jing sat with Xiaohua for a while, then left.
He was able to come at this time, and he was really busy. The beginning of everything is difficult, and the government affairs of a country are naturally not comparable to those of a feudal territory. Others can only tell him the direction, and many things need to be pondered by himself.
All kinds of supplies in the yard were prepared in advance, including Xiaohua's previous things that had been shipped from Jingzhou long ago, and Lilac also put away the things brought by Xiaohua and the two children.
After a while, Xiao Xiazi came over to greet him, saying that he was still waiting in Liangdi's yard, and told Xiaohua that the yard was arranged by Eunuch Fu after His Highness's account, so that Niangniang could rest assured and not worry about anything.
Xiaohua naturally understands what Xiaoxiazi means, that is, everyone is watching, so there is no need to worry about the evil spirits.
After sitting in the car all morning, Xiaohua was also tired. After lunch, she took a rest.
When she woke up in the afternoon, Lilac combed her hair and told Xiaohua what she had learned.
There were not many people living in the East Palace, and His Highness had few wives and concubines, occupying less than one third of the East Palace. His Royal Highness's study is on the central axis, and right behind the central axis is the residence of the Crown Princess. Qiao Liangdi and two Liangyuan are behind the residence of the Crown Princess. It stands to reason that Xiaohua should also live in the place after the residence of the Crown Princess, but was arranged by the Crown Prince alone in this courtyard on the right side.
The size of this yard is not comparable to the residence of the Crown Princess, but it is the closest place to the Crown Prince. And the yard is fully equipped, even the kitchen. Aunt He and Aunt Meng didn't move their seats, they were still waiting in the small kitchen in the small flower yard.
There is a dining room in the East Palace, but the dining room is only responsible for the meals of the Crown Princess and a few other people, while the Prince and Xiaohua eat in the small kitchen in this courtyard.
Everything is the same as before, and Xiaohua is temporarily at ease.
After being protected by King Jing for several years, Xiaohua has always adopted an attitude of avoidance towards Princess Jing, Princess Xiao. She also understands that things are different now. In the past, in King Jing's Mansion, His Highness could hold some princesses, and she could hide in the West Courtyard and not go out. Now that she has entered the palace and is in the East Palace, under the watchful eyes of the public, the crown princess is less restrained, and tit-for-tat will be inevitable in the future.
As it was at the gate of the East Palace today, the Crown Princess obviously wanted to disgust her. For other things, Xiaohua will naturally avoid it. After all, the person is the main room, and she is the concubine. But as a mother, no one can swallow this. It's not that Xiaohua can't pretend to be generous, but she doesn't want to pretend and can't pretend.
She has two children now, and one in her stomach. His Highness is so busy, she can't put everything on him alone, and she can't be protected for a lifetime, she has to stand up by herself.
"Lilac, I won't say much about the other side, you should be able to understand our situation at this time. Although His Royal Highness is guarding, but he is busy with business, we must stand up by ourselves first. Discuss with Ding Lanchuncao, and the spring The ones from Mei can be used for a few years now, so be alert, you can come and tell me if there is any inconvenience, or you can talk to Eunuch Fu."
"Niangniang, this servant understands."
"We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble. You should be able to handle it."
Soon it was night.
The prince didn't come back. The more he learned about the environment he was in, the more Xiaohua could understand how many things were on him now.
Chang Shun came to pass a message, saying that the prince was in the Zichen Palace and asked the empress to have dinner by herself, and she might come back very late at night.
Xiaohua asked a few words if the prince had meals and how much, and Chang Shun replied that the prince had meals, so the empress should not worry, everything was arranged.
Xiaohua was relieved, let Chang Shun go down, and instructed Lilac to pass the dinner.
After using it, I went to accompany the two children for a while, and then went back to the room to take a bath and rest.
When I slept until the middle of the night, I felt that someone was on the bed.
"Your Highness..."
A body with a moist breath slipped into the quilt, and Xiaohua knew that he had just taken a bath.
"Wake you up?"
"It's okay, the concubine slept a lot today, and I don't feel sleepy."
She changed her posture and nestled into his arms, sighing, "His Royal Highness's identity has changed too quickly, and I can't adapt to it for a while."
"It will change after a while, you have to get used to it sooner or later."
Xiaohua understands this. Before she came to Beijing, she knew that Emperor Xi did not have many days. Both the crown prince and the King of Jin died. Although he didn't say it directly that day, Xiaohua could still hear from his words that he was playing tricks on the matter between the prince and the King of Jin.
Of course, Xiaohua is not a virgin. Since it is either you or me, she naturally thinks that he, she, and two children will be fine.
It's just that his identity has changed, and so have the identities of her and her two children. When a person's identity changes, the environment they live in will also change, and the same troubles will increase. It's not that Xiaohua doesn't understand that people can't live together forever, but it's just that there is always a sense of loss.
"Don't worry, our days will still be the same as before."
Xiaohua rubbed her face in Luo Jing's arms, smiled and whispered, "It will be a little uncomfortable at first, but it will be fine in two days. Your Highness, hurry up and sleep, it's been a busy day."
Luo Jing replied softly, and said: "I may not have time to accompany you these days, you are not in the East Palace, I am resting in the Zichen Palace."
Xiaohua was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is not well, so you need to do some filial piety. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about me and the child, we will be fine."
Silent all night.
Xiaohua woke up the next day and found that Luo Jing was no longer there. After asking Lilac, she realized that he had left at four watch.
After breakfast and a walk in the yard, Aunt Qi brought a middle-aged aunt in her forties.
"Niangniang, this is Aunt Qian. The slaves are invited to tell Niangniang about the rules and interpersonal relationships in the palace."
Xiaohua nodded, she had explained this matter before, but she didn't expect Aunt Qi to do it so quickly. The palace is different from those places in the past. There are too many people, and there is too much to know. Be prepared early, so as not to make a joke and lose your life to His Royal Highness.
"Aunt Qian has troubled you."
"Niangniang is very polite, the slaves have no skills, so I have known more things after staying in the palace for a long time."
Aunt Qian came to tell Xiaohua about the affairs and rules of the palace every day, but she didn't mention it. Only afterward did Xiaohua know that Aunt Qian and Aunt Qi used to be old friends in the palace. .
Now that His Royal Highness has returned to the palace, the capable people around him have naturally brought back.
There are many old people in the palace who are talking privately and saying, 'This is the salted fish turning over'. This is not only about the prince Wang Xian, but also the servants beside the prince.
At the beginning, the servants around the fifth prince were very famous among the servants in the palace. They were notorious for their shamelessness and no lower limit. It also made other palace eunuchs feel strange. he,
Now, there are explanations for all the anomalies. No, King Jing has turned his back, and he is no longer the dumb guy who was disgusted by His Majesty before.
In fact, these people have really wronged Aunt Qi and others. Changshun Anshun and Aunt Qi are normal people, but Fushun's mouse feces ruined a pot of soup. But Fushun couldn't do it back then. In a place like the palace, I'm not afraid that the above won't see you, but I'm afraid that the above won't see you, and there are a group of little devils stepping on you below.
What do the masters remember, every day is either busy with government affairs or busy fighting for favor, and the little devils below are the most hated. In order to gain the upper hand, for the favor of bloggers, various means emerge in an endless stream. If he hadn't been ruthless and thick-skinned by his means, he wouldn't have been able to protect His Highness to grow so big.
King Yun is an example. I can't tell how much suffering I suffered when I was a child. In order not to attract attention and not attract hatred, my image and reputation were completely ruined. And King Jing, with a mute illness and a low profile, did not go out of the palace, so he lived safely to adulthood, neither hungry nor cold.
Fortunately, things are getting better now, and His Royal Highness has finally made it through, and is no longer the dumb fifth prince of the year.
Fushun sneered coldly in his heart. He had already said that, riding a donkey to read the songbook, Grandpa Fu and I are now back with the master.
The author has something to say:
Shunshun is not here to pretend, this is not as simple as you imagined to be in the palace. The Xiao family is not the enemy, but the Empress Xiao. After all, the palace has been operating for so many years and has been the queen for so long, so there must be a lot of people under her. Even if Emperor Xi dies and King Jing ascends the throne, he has no foundation in the palace, and it will be a headache for the people below to not obey orders or make trouble secretly. In this palace, there are only a few masters, and the little devils are counted in ten thousand...
I'll loosen up Queen Xiao's bones first. ⊙﹏⊙ sweat.
