"The Northern Princess and the Western King are flying kites in the Imperial Garden?"
In Yunxiao Garden, Concubine Shu was very surprised when she heard the little eunuch's report. Because of Ximen Yi's incident, she didn't sleep all night. She rubbed her temples with a headache and closed her eyes to think.
"Yes, Empress Shu," said the eunuch Xiao Anzi, "and Princess Wan, who is having fun in the imperial garden. But for some reason, Chuntao next to the empress secretly warned the palace people not to show off, and the servants thought it was strange.
Fangte came to report to Concubine Shu."
"Well, Xiao Anzi, you have done well, and you will be rewarded." Concubine Shu nodded lazily and signaled the maid on the side to fetch a few ingots of silver for Xiao Anzi.
"Thank you, empress!" Xiao Anzi kowtowed happily.
"Go down and tell me if you have anything to do. I'm very bored!" Concubine Shu waved to Xiao Anzi and said.
"Yes, yes, my heart is devoted to Concubine Shu." Xiao Anzi smiled charmingly.
After Xiao Anzi left, Concubine Shu leaned on the couch and thought about the value of this matter.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Queen has some ulterior motives for doing this. Why don't you ask me to inform the King of the West?" Concubine Shu's personal maid, Su Xin, knew that Concubine Shu had agreed to Concubine Yao's plea, thinking that Concubine Shu might be able to help.
The King of the West was saved from being framed by the Queen.
"No!" Concubine Shu waved her hand and sneered, "Let the queen go and give Su Ranhua some trouble. As for the King of the West, wait until he is really in trouble before I take action. Wouldn't it be better to remember me?"
good?"
"Your Majesty is very considerate." Su Xin nodded.
"Beauty is a disaster! Poor King Xi, who has always been calm and careless, will be harmed by Su Ranhua this time. He really failed Concubine Yao's careful upbringing for many years." Concubine Shu sighed exaggeratedly, her charming face
There was a gloating smile on his face, "Su Xin, secretly keep an eye on things over there."
"Yes, empress." Su Xin said.
In the imperial garden, Su Ranhua was not in the mood to focus on the high-flying kite. She kept thinking about Ximen Xianchu's words. If she wanted to occupy the position of Princess Bei, she must not offend Ximen Hao, and she cooperated with Ximen Hao.
The relationship has just begun to take off, so we must not let it go.
Therefore, Su Ranhua decided to return to Beiwang Mansion early.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Ximen Wan saw Su Ranhua leaning listlessly against the tree trunk and ran over to ask.
Su Ranhua covered his mouth and yawned, "I haven't slept all night, I'm so sleepy!"
Ximenzhe on the other hand took back the kite. In fact, without Su Ranhua's laughter, he was also very boring. Although he did not want to admit it, in fact, he could never find the Su Ranhua in his memory.
But Su Ran's paintings are Su Ran's paintings. Ximenzhe looked at the woman leaning on the tree trunk. Her changes were all due to her fate. She married his second emperor brother and was bullied. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot keep it forever.
That pure and beautiful smile.
Even if she is his royal sister-in-law, he still has the responsibility to protect her.
"I'll take you back to the palace." Ximen Zhe said.
"No, I can go back by myself." Su Ranhua waved her hand and asked Ximen Zhe to take her back. Isn't that just teaching people to use the handle? It is different from flying a kite in the Imperial Garden. After all, there is Ximen Wan as a shield.
.
"If my father hadn't allowed me to leave the palace, I could have sent you off with the Fourth Emperor Brother." Ximen Wan was a little annoyed.
"Princess Wan," someone came hurriedly toward them.
"Yu'er?" Ximen Wan recognized the person. She was the Queen Mother's personal maid.
"My slave, please see the King of the West, Princess Wan." Yu'er saluted Ximen Wan and Ximen Zhe respectively. Since she didn't recognize Su Ranhua and saw that she was dressed very ordinary, she just assumed that she was a maid of higher status and ignored her.
She said to Ximen Wan, "The Queen Mother asked my servant to invite Princess Wan to accompany her old man to relieve her boredom."
"Now?" Ximen Wan asked.
"Yes, the Queen Mother said that it was just in time for lunch and she wanted the princess to come and have a meal together. There is yellow croaker that the princess likes to eat." Yu'er said.
"Wan'er, you go first." Seeing Ximen Wan's hesitation, Ximen Zhe urged. He knew that Ximen Wan had not had a concubine since she was a child, and it was only through the care of the Queen Mother that she could gain some status in the harem and be on par with other princesses.
, so we must not say no to the Queen Mother easily. Moreover, Yu'er specifically pointed out that there are Ximen Wan's favorite dishes, so it is even harder to refuse.
"Okay." Ximen Wan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go first."
So, Ximen Wan handed the kite to Ximen Zhe, took Xiaoyun, and followed Yu'er to the Queen Mother's Chu Min Palace.
"King Xi, take your leave."
As soon as Ximen Wan left, Su Ranhua also left the Imperial Garden.
"Can't we talk for a while longer?" Ximenzhe held two kites and stood in front of Su Ran's painting, with a childish plea on his delicate face.
Now that he had no choice but to admit it, he was willing to treat Su Ranhua, his sister-in-law, as a younger brother, but he didn't want them to become so alienated.
"King Xi, I'm very tired." Su Ranhua said calmly.
In the distance, slow footsteps sounded. Su Ranhua followed the sound and frowned slightly. It was Chen Fu, a flower rooster, walking into the imperial garden with a basket on his shoulder. His posture was neither yin nor yang. Although it was funny, it was also
Su Ranhua felt disgusted.
Chen Fu naturally also saw the paintings of Ximen Zhe and Su Ran.
However, Su Ranhua thought that Chen Fu should have met Ximen Wan who had just left, and someone had seen the four of them flying kites just now. Even if Chen Fu hated her, he couldn't cause any trouble out of thin air.
When Chen Fu coyly walked closer and closer to the two of them and spoke his first words, Su Ranhua realized that he had really offended this old guy.
"Oh, King of the West, Princess of the North, you - what are you doing!" Chen Fu looked at Ximenzhe and Su Ranhua, as if he had seen something incredible, and was stunned.
"Eunuch Chen, what are you talking about?" Ximenzhe turned around and asked doubtfully.
The golden needle hidden in Su Ranhua's sleeve was ready to go. Chen Fu's words were a strange opening statement, sending out countless messages. Su Ranhua could clearly smell the smell of conspiracy.
"My eyes are dim, my eyes are dim!" Chen Fu raised his sleeves to cover his eyes and kept saying.
"Eunuch Chen, I have something to say. What do you mean?" Ximenzhe asked. Chen Fu's behavior was so inexplicable.
"Your Majesty, trouble is coming." Su Ranhua said with a low voice.
"What?" Ximenzhe, who had no life experience, was confused.
"King Xi, I am not an old slave to be bold, you—" Chen Fu walked up with a basket in his arms, pointed at Ximen Zhe and Su Ranhua, and waved his hand, as if he had something to say.
"If you have anything to say, Eunuch Chen, you might as well say it directly," Su Ranhua said coldly, looking at the pretentious Chen Fu.
"Bei Princess, the matter between you and the South King can be regarded as a way to help the North King, but why do you need to provoke the West King?" Chen Fu regarded himself as an older man at this time.
The old man was preaching, so he had even more reason not to take Su Ranhua seriously.
"Chen Fu, what are you talking about?" Ximenzhe said angrily. From Chen Fu's words, he also heard the meaning of framing Su Ran's paintings.
