She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was wearing a yellow palace dress. Her hair was still wet, perhaps because she fell into the water. However, that face was as white as frost and snow, with beauty waiting to bloom. Concubine Ye admitted that she had seen countless people and met many beauties, but such otherworldly beauty was rare.
Especially her eyes, as clear as iceberg snow water, with a trace of holiness that cannot be blasphemed.
Regardless of Concubine Ye's eyes falling on him, Xie Ruzhuo seemed unaware, with a decent smile on his lips. After saying goodbye, he knelt on the ground and looked at Concubine Ye.
"Get up and answer. Are you a girl from the Xie family?" Fortunately, Concubine Ye didn't look at her for long. After a while, she ordered her maid to tell Xie Ruzhuo to help her up.
Xie Ruzhuo lowered his eyebrows and said, "Go back to your Majesty, my daughter is Xie Ruzhuo."
"Well, she's quite a standout." Concubine Ye had a good impression of the girl in front of her. I have heard people say in the past that among the noble ladies in the capital, there are two most outstanding families. One is Xie Ruzhuo, who is the most beautiful woman in the world, and the other is Shen Jingci, who has only been in the world for nine days. It is difficult to compare the two, so they are called Shuangshu together. It's just that she has never had a good impression of women known for their "beautiful" character, but when they saw her today, she felt that it was eye-opening.
Xie Ruzhuo thanked Concubine Ye and took the maid's hand to sit on a chair nearby. Fang sat down and heard Concubine Ye ask, "Is your injury getting better?"
"Excuse me for your condolences, my servant's injury has healed greatly." Xie Ruzhuo replied, took the tea offered by the palace servant, and thanked him humbly.
Seeing that she was advancing and retreating in a controlled manner, and not as domineering and rude as the outside world rumored, Concubine Ye felt a lot more at ease, but she said calmly, "You are a thoughtful kid. Thanks to you for the hunting ground." , the third prince can be safe and sound. I am very grateful to you from my heart."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo subconsciously felt a sense of crisis. Since ancient times, it is difficult to predict the meaning of God. Good may not necessarily be good, and bad may not necessarily be bad. She thought about it for a while, and just when she was about to speak, she heard a female voice outside.
"Why does the mother-in-law need to thank her? As a minister, it is her duty to save her. But the emperor's brother even gave up Xuelian for her, which is the real loss!"
Xiao Xinning wore a peach-pink palace outfit today, which made her whole body look rosy. She had a touch of powder on her pink face, and there was an air of agility between her eyebrows.
But what he said was a bit unpleasant.
Concubine Ye immediately reprimanded, "Ning'er, don't be rude." But the smile on her face didn't look like she was angry, but rather full of doting.
Xie Ruzhuo only felt that his head was full of black lines. She and this princess seemed to have a different natural aura. Otherwise, why would Xiao Xinning want to pinch him when he saw her
"Greetings to the Seventh Princess." No matter how unhappy he was in his heart, this etiquette must be thorough.
Xiao Xinning didn't expect Xie Ruzhuo to be in such a mess. She immediately forgot about the topic she just talked about and frowned, "Xie Ruzhuo, did you jump into the lake to take a bath? You came out so wet."
What she said was mostly correct. Xie Ruzhuo smiled helplessly and said, "I accidentally fell into the lake just now and made the Seventh Princess laugh."
Hearing this, Xiao Xinning immediately shouted, "It was you who was pushed into the water just now. Tsk tsk tsk, you really don't make people worry." Fortunately, she thought it was the second lady of the Xie family who fell into the water, so she hurriedly Come here. However, Xie Ruzhuo's current appearance was somewhat pleasing to her eyes.
Xie Ruzhuo only smiled in return and made up his mind not to say anything. She would be wrong if she accidentally said something wrong in front of Concubine Ye, then she would be caught.
When Xiao Xinning saw that she was silent, she curled her lips in boredom and said, "You are so boring."
Concubine Ye patted her forehead and said, "Miss Xie is a guest invited by my mother. You must not be rude."
"Mother, I'm not rude to her. I'm just being friendly." After saying that, Xiao Xinning walked to Xie Ruzhuo's side and pretended to hold her arm, but in fact he strangled her as a demonstration. The soft flesh on the waist said with a half-smile, "Really, Ruzhuo?"
Can she say no
"Yes, the seventh princess has a gentle and gentle temperament. She is a role model for us to learn from." Xie Ruzhuo glanced back at Xiao Xining and leaned back without leaving any trace. She was a little too tired to stand now. Someone came over to use as a cushion, why didn't she use it
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo would directly come up to her. Xiao Xinning felt a little heavy for a moment, but because it was difficult for her to get angry in front of her mother and concubine, she immediately glared at Xie Ruzhuo angrily.
Concubine Ye didn't pay attention to the little moves between them. She just waved her hands and said, "That's all, you young people, let's play together. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."
Xie Ruzhuo then stood up and respectfully sent Concubine Ye out, when Xiao Xunning said angrily, "How dare you, Xie Ruzhuo, to get along with me!"
"Seventh Princess, you are talking nonsense, where is the evidence?" As soon as Concubine Ye left, Xiao Xunning was the biggest in the hall, but Xie Ruzhuo was not afraid of her and immediately fought back.
Xiao Xinning rubbed her sour arms and said angrily, "If you still don't admit it, you're already dead. Any daughter who is as fat as yours will definitely not be able to get married!"
"Ha." Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "I won't bother the Seventh Princess to worry about whether I'm going to get married or not. If there's nothing else, I'll leave." She was tired and tired now, but she had no energy to accompany this little ancestor. Play small-tempered.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Xinning stopped her and said, "You can't leave."
Xie Ruzhuo didn't even bother to open his mouth, he just stared at her with his eyes.
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo didn't speak, Xiao Xining suddenly softened her temper. She forced herself to say, "Since you are here, why don't you go and see my Third Emperor Brother?" She said as if she was afraid of being interrupted by Xie Ruzhuo. , and poured out all the words in his head, "My imperial brother is sick, it's because of you! If you hadn't eaten snow lotus, he wouldn't have fallen sick due to lack of medicinal materials. When he came back last night, his face turned pale. It looks like paper, but it’s scary!”
"Then what?" Xie Ruzhuo glanced sideways at Xiao Xining and said only these three words.
"Then you should go and take a look!" Xiao Xinning glared at Xie Ruzhuo angrily. She didn't understand. How could this woman be worthy of the emperor's brother taking out Xuelian!
Xie Ruzhuo looked at the eager brother-protector Xiao Xining in front of him with some amusement, then turned to the palace maid beside him and said, "Can you please take me to the third prince's palace?"
The palace maid had heard their conversation clearly, and when she saw Xie Ruzhuo talking, she nodded quickly and said, "Miss Xie, please come with me."
When Xiao Xinning saw that Xie Ruzhuo didn't pay attention to her intention at all, and instead followed the palace maid, she immediately jumped up and down with anger.
Hearing the footsteps coming up behind him, Xie Ruzhuo didn't even look back and just said, "Did the Seventh Princess not trust me, so she came here to show the way?"
Sure enough, the footsteps stopped instantly. Xiao Xinning looked at Xie Ruzhuo's back angrily and said, "You think so!" and then turned around and returned to his palace.
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head helplessly and followed the palace maid to Shenghui Palace.
Although it is late autumn, the flowers in the Royal Garden are blooming and full of poetry.
After Shen Jingci exchanged greetings with several ladies from aristocratic families, she just found a corner to take a rest when she saw Xiao Junhan walking over with an unkind look on her face.
Her heart sank, but she couldn't help but put on a well-placed smile, "My lord, I would like to send my regards to the Second Prince."
"No need." Xiao Junhan put his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face, but his words were particularly cold, "Shen Jingci, are you kidding me? Why is there no one in Ci'an Palace?"
Shen Jingci casually picked up a blooming chrysanthemum, kneaded the petals in her palm, and then said, "I'm afraid you are late. She has been called away by Concubine Ye's people."
"You mean, that woman was involved in this matter?" Xiao Junhan looked stunned and couldn't even maintain his smile. If that woman is involved, does it mean that she also knows the reason he has grasped
However, Shen Jingci's next words dispelled his doubts, "Probably not. Concubine Ye just sent someone to call her in the imperial garden. But I have one thing to ask you, is the palace maid reliable?"
What she was talking about was naturally the palace maid who took Xie Ruzhuo to change.
"The people under this prince are naturally reliable. If you have the time to doubt my people, you might as well go find out if the idiots on your side have ruined things!" Xiao Junhan was in a particularly uneasy mood when his plan was ruined. What he said was no longer polite.
After hearing this, Shen Jingci felt depressed for a while, but she couldn't vent her anger. She could only continue to smile, "Second Prince, don't worry, it's not too late to make amends. Xie Ruzhuo can escape the first grade of junior high school, but I will definitely tell her that she can't escape the fifteenth grade. If this plan doesn't work, I have another plan, which will eventually completely destroy her reputation, so that she will no longer have any arrogance, and she will be obediently allowed to be rounded and flattened by you, for your use!"
When he said this, a gust of wind blew by, blowing the fragrance of Shen Jingci's body to Xiao Junhan's nose.
His mind wandered, and when no one was around, he took Shen Jingci's hand, smiled evilly, and said, "Of course I can rest assured when you do things. Don't worry too, I'm just doing it to get thanks." It’s just my family’s help, that kind of brainless woman can’t get into my eyes, Xiao Junhan. One day... that seat will only be yours.”
What Xiao Junhan said was not subtle, and Shen Jingci naturally knew it well. She smiled softly, like a hundred flowers in full bloom, and approached Xiao Junhan and said, "Then I will wait for His Highness the Second Prince, one day."
There is a piece of green bamboo outside Shenghui Hall. Occasionally, the breeze blows and the bamboo leaves sway.
Xie Ruzhuo stood in the outer hall for a while, until he was a little tired from staring at the bamboo. There was still no one in the huge Shenghui Hall.
The palace maid said before she came that the Third Highness did not like being served by others, so she left in a hurry after sending her there.
But not being happy to be served, and not having anyone in the palace, doesn’t seem to have the same concept, right
Just when she was getting impatient and ready to leave, she suddenly heard a male voice coming from the inner hall, "Abao, get me a glass of water."
Xie Ruzhuo took back the steps he took. The voice inside was a little careless and extremely lazy, as if he had obviously taken a nap. When he thought of the seventh princess's words, Xie Ruzhuo felt that he should be a good person and stick to it. He simply walked over and poured a cup of tea, lifted the bead curtain, turned the screen, and walked into the inner hall.
"Abao isn't here, but the Third Prince probably doesn't mind if I help you pour it..."
