On the way back from Concubine Yan's residence, Jian Xiao walked very slowly. Yueyue couldn't guess what she was thinking. When she was a little girl when she entered the palace, she had experienced the ruthlessness of Concubine Gong and Concubine Li Shu. She was imprisoned.
In the cellar, she was almost suffocated to death. Gong Guibi only said that it was due to negligence at the time. Jian Xiao did not care that Li Shufei had really hurt herself.
So who will be pointed at for Concubine Li Shu's miscarriage this time? Is it herself or Wan Yun, who claims to be pregnant?
Should I tell Wan Yun to be careful? But if she was overly worried this time, and it was just a coincidence that Concubine Li Shu had a miscarriage and Concubine Yan was punished, how should she explain it? Jian Xiao was confused by this scene.
clue
Forget it, now I can only resign myself to fate and be careful.
Just after passing through the Imperial Garden, Jian Xiao was about to arrive at Xiaoxiang Tower. Jian Xiao saw a man in military uniform standing in front of his palace door, "Ziqing!" Jian Xiao came over, "Congratulations, I heard that the general
This time I received a heavy reward!"
Guo Ziqing smiled naively, "It's all thanks to the grace of Your Majesty and the Empress. I just picked this reward up."
"Why don't you go in?" Jian Xiao said, "They are already in front of the door."
Guo Ziqing shook his head, "It's not me coming to see you this time, it's the second princess."
The second princess, Guo Ziqing's wife, Jian Xiao, raised her lips slightly, "Can't the princess meet me with the consort? Do we have to have one person as the master and the other as the wife?"
Guo Ziqing also laughed when he heard Jian Xiao making fun of him, "Your Majesty is really good at saying, hurry in, I'd better stay here. Although the gangsters outside the palace have been eliminated, they still have wings in the palace, so be careful."
Seeing Guo Ziqing's refusal, Jian Xiao had no choice but to give up. But why did the second princess, whom she had never met before, suddenly visit her? Jian Xiao had a big question mark in her heart.
As soon as she walked in, Jian Xiao heard the sound of a child talking and talking. As soon as she walked in, she saw a child rushing towards her. Jian Xiao hurriedly hugged him.
This little boy has a tie on his head, a round face, and two eyes as bright as grapes. He is very cute when he spins around. His eyes and innocent look are exactly the same as Guo Ziqing's. He started pouting and saw
Jian Xiaohou grinned, revealing her two dimples, and giggled
Jian Xiao took out two fruits from her sleeves and said sweetly: "Take it!"
The child did not pick it up, but turned back to see someone else
"Just hold it for you, Yutai!" a female voice said.
Yutai took the fruit and pretended to bow to Jian Xiao, "Thank you, empress!" After saying that, he picked up the fruit and ran to play again.
Jian Xiao stood up and looked at the second princess, who was looking at herself with a smile. There were dimples on her cheeks. It seemed that Yutai followed the merits of his parents. "Jian Xiao has met the second princess."
The second princess waved her hand, "No need, I've heard about you from the emperor's brother a long time ago, and I also heard from Ziqing that this time, I finally met a real person. Tsk, the emperor's brother has really good taste."
Jian Xiao smiled and said, "The second princess is too praised."
Zhang Qin's three brothers are all handsome and graceful, but the appearance of the two princesses can only be said to be average. They are not as charming as the king, but their smiles and frowns reveal kindness, which makes them look particularly comfortable.
That feeling of fear
"You have also suffered a lot in this palace. I have long said that I would come to see you, but at that time Yutai was still young and could not move away from the chaos in front of him. Now that he has settled down, I came to see you." II
princess said
"It's my fault. I should have visited Her Royal Highness a long time ago. I was too negligent." Jian Xiao said politely, thinking that the two princesses came today just to exchange greetings.
The second princess took a sip of tea and said, "I'm here specifically to thank you."
"Thank me?"
"I know that this battle for the throne has seen the royal brothers fighting and killing each other. I can't say anything." The second princess said, "Now that it has stabilized, I should thank you."
"Second Princess, you are so polite. Those things are just the Emperor's wisdom. What can I, a woman, do?" Jian Xiao said.
The second princess's dimples were exposed again, "You don't have to be polite. I naturally know the personalities of the royal brothers. The eldest brother is smart but aloof and violent. The second brother is very talented but has a weak personality and has no talent for governing the country. The third brother is young, energetic and martial.
But if I don’t have any ambition, I can rely on my second brother alone. If we really had the means you mentioned, the rebellion would have been put down long ago.”
Jian Xiao looked at the unattractive second princess. Not only was Jian Xiao a little awe-struck, this woman was so smart. If the throne belonged to her, it wouldn't be an exaggeration. Guo Ziqing was so lucky that he actually found such a woman.
"Don't be afraid," the second princess said, "They say the harem should ignore the government's affairs, but sometimes they have no choice but to do so. I'm not blaming you, I'm really grateful to you."
"Thank you princess for your understanding," Jian Xiao said
"I came today just to talk to you. There are not many people in the harem who can talk to me, but you are the one here." The second princess stood up and said, "Yutai is old now, so he should come out more often."
My imperial brother will inevitably neglect you in the government affairs. If you still want to forgive me, I still have to thank you for saving the country of Biga from fire and water..."
"Second Princess, please don't say that. Jian Xiao can't bear it." Jian Xiao didn't dare to receive such a big thank you. "Princess is also welcome to bring Yutai to play in the future."
The second princess nodded and left with the child. Jian Xiao let out a sigh of relief as she watched them leave. She couldn't complain because everyone in the harem was so courteous to the second princess. It turned out that Jian Xiao thought they were just thinking that she was the former princess.
For his sake, it seems that this is not the case now. This woman is smart. Guo Ziqing is lucky to be such a consort.
It was getting dark, and Jian Xiao yawned all the time. Unable to stop feeling sleepy, Yueyue spread out the bed for Jian Xiao, "Mother, you should go to bed early. You have to worry about this day and night."
"I can't help it," Jian Xiao took off all the jewelry on her head and put all the rings and rings on her fingers on the table. "If I can't handle this matter for a day, I won't be able to be at ease for a day."
Yueyue came over and put away all the jewelry, "In a few months, I won't be able to take these things with me."
Jian Xiao nodded and put her hands on her abdomen. She knew that the child was just a small cell at this moment, only about three to five centimeters in size, but it was all Jian Xiao's sustenance. Tuo Jinglie was placed in the corner of the dressing table.
Jian Xiao took the dart and wiped it gently with her fingers. How many times did Tuo Jinglie rely on this dart to save his life, but now, he can only rely on this empty thought
Seeing Jian Xiao like this, Yueyue knew that she was thinking of him again. She saw herself in the mirror through the mirror, and thought of the Jiaojiao who was exactly the same as herself. She felt sad, turned around, wiped away her tears, and left Jian Xiao, whispering to the dart.
Said: "Tutuo, if you know someone under the spring, please give me a dream, I want to see you."
