"Oh?" Xi Honglei looked at Chen'er curiously, becoming interested in his words. "Can't you tell mother's secret?"
"Yeah!" Xi Zichen nodded vigorously and said with a tangled expression: "I made a promise, so I can't say it."
"Then can you tell mother who that person is?"
"No way." It was the first time that Chen'er was so tight-lipped to Xi Honglei and said nothing. No matter how much Xi Honglei tried to coerce or induce him, he refused to reveal even a few words. This made Xi Honglei can only be curious and helpless, and then be careful.
Everyone around him was afraid that Chen'er would be abducted if he wasn't careful.
After Hao Weiwei was conferred the title of Empress, Hao Weiwei would naturally not forget Xi Honglei, a great benefactor. Therefore, Xi Honglei had already received many rewards from the Queen in just a few days. Jin
Silver jewelry, silk and satin, everything is available.
Xi Honglei looked at the things piled up on two tables and could only smile bitterly. She had sent Hao Weiwei to a high position, but there were so many people in the harem who hated her, how could one hand and two hands do it?
Can you count?
Not many of the things Hao Weiwei gave Xi Honglei could use. So she thought about it and finally decided to borrow flowers to give to the Buddha and give these things out so that they wouldn’t be in the way of her in this room.
Eye.
Hao Weiwei's matter was settled, and it was about to get married between Ran Yunhao and Xi Hongli. Ran Yunpo had discussed with Xi Honglei before and wanted to do the two things together. But he remembered Xi Hongli's identity, so he decided
Postpone this matter for a few days. After all, there is still a gap between the maid and the queen. If they are really handled together, some people will definitely talk about it.
After Xi Honglei came to look for Xi Honglei and made trouble, Xi Honglei never saw her again. When Xi Honglei was worrying about how to deliver the things Hao Weiwei gave to Xi Hongli
, Shu Rumei suddenly sent someone to look for Xi Honglei.
Xi Honglei looked at Bi Qian standing in front of him and smiled slightly. After hearing her say that the Queen Mother wanted to see her for something, Xi Honglei nodded lightly, stood up, and led Chen'er out of the room.
"Do you know why the Queen Mother wants to see me?" Xi Honglei asked Bi Qian next to her in a low voice after leaving Jialingyuan.
"I don't know." Bi Qian shook her head, then thought for a moment, and then said: "But the Queen Mother also just called for the Prince of Nanjun. As soon as the Prince left, the Queen Mother sent her slaves."
After looking for Ran Yunhao and then looking for herself, how much did Shu Rumei want to make herself uncomfortable, so that she would meet the two of them in such a short period of time?
Xi Honglei raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly in her heart. She continued to walk forward until she met Ran Yunhao who was coming towards her.
"Honglei has met the prince." Xi Honglei looked straight at Ran Yunhao and said.
She hadn't seen Ran Yunhao for some days. She finally met Ran Yunhao today, but something seemed wrong at the time.
Ran Yunhao nodded lightly, glanced at Bi Qian, lowered his eyes for a moment, and said: "You go over there and wait, I have something to say to Miss Xi."
"My slave, you obey." Bi Qian walked away obediently, leaving Xi Honglei and Ran Yunhao standing there.
Ran Yunhao's actions made Xi Honglei alert. She looked around, took a step towards Ran Yunhao, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Xi Honglei's movements and expression made Ran Yunhao suddenly laugh. He raised his hand, pointed his index finger on Xi Honglei's forehead, and pushed Xi Honglei back to the original position with a little force. "It's nothing, just
Let me tell you, Lin Yi is at the Queen Mother's place, so please pay attention."
"Oh." Xi Honglei nodded reflexively, and then looked at Ran Yunhao and looked back. Xi Honglei curled his lips and said, "Ignore him."
Jinyu has been following Xi Honglei since he left Jialing Garden. Xi Honglei had noticed it a long time ago but had no reaction.
"Go, I have to go back home first." Ran Yunhao turned around quickly, not giving Xi Honglei a chance to talk to him again. Under Xi Honglei's gaze, he strode away.
Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunhao's back in confusion, still not understanding what he was up to. Dazed, Xi Honglei followed Bi Qian away. But she didn't know what happened here after she left...
…
Ran Yunhao stopped Jin Yu. After confirming that Xi Honglei had disappeared, he slowly spoke out and asked, "Who are you?"
"What does the prince mean by this?" Jin Yu looked at Ran Yunhao in surprise and asked.
"What do I mean?" Ran Yunhao chuckled softly and said something that Jinyu didn't expect. "As far as I know, you rescued Honglei after she fell off the cliff, right? She followed you and Qiu Shitian
You have lived in the valley for four years, and you have been with her for these four years. Don't you think of her at all?"
Ran Yunhao mentioned Jin Yu's feelings for Xi Honglei, which made Jin Yu a little angry. "This matter has nothing to do with the prince, right?" Jin Yu asked in a clear voice.
"I just don't understand. Since you like her, why do you want to help Shu Rumei? Or is your love for Honglei not worth resisting Qiu Shitian to protect her?" Ran Yunhao's eyes flashed.
Staring at Jinyu with twinkling eyes, he said in a low voice: "But you are right, these things have nothing to do with me. But I still want to remind you, you'd better not make any ideas about her and her children. Otherwise, you'd better not make any plans.
, and I won’t stand idly by.”
"Your Majesty." Jin Yu blocked Ran Yunhao's path with quick hands and eyes, and asked boldly. "Isn't it the Prince's turn to worry about the issue of Xi Honglei?"
"You have good courage." Ran Yunhao looked at Jin Yu blocking his hand with a smile, and said meaningfully: "I just don't know how long I can hold on to this courage and where it can be used. You have chosen to stand on
On the Queen Mother's side, there are some things that don't need to be said clearly. You and Xi Honglei are not in the same boat, and you will not be the one who can save her in the end. In this muddy water, you and Qiu Shitian are mixed together
The time I came in was very wrong."
"Then the person who can save her in the end is you, the prince?" Jinyu continued to ask, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Who knows?" Ran Yunhao knocked off Jin Yu's hand and met Jin Yu's eyes. "Even if the king is not in the palace, there will be people in the palace to protect their mother and son. Go back and tell Qiu Shitian, the emperor is next
He is the one who wants to be killed."
After Ran Yunhao finished speaking, he left without any regret. Jinyu stood there, looking at the direction in which Ran Yunhao was going, and sighed heavily.
Xi Honglei walked quickly, so naturally she didn't know what happened between Ran Yunhao and Jin Yu. She came to Shu Rumei's bedroom and looked at Shu Rumei standing outside the door, looking at her with an unhappy face.
Xi Hongli smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened, and greeted Xi Hongli.
Xi Hongli looked at Xi Hongli with cold eyes and remained silent. Xi Hongli smiled in the face of Xi Hongli's indifference, entered the room, and saw Shu Rumei.
Just as Ran Yunhao said just now, Lin Yi was indeed with Shu Rumei. Moreover, he was still standing behind Shu Rumei blatantly.
"Xi Honglei has met the Queen Mother."
"Sit down." Shu Rumei pointed to the chair on the side, looking at the little one next to Xi Honglei, a cold light flashed across her eyes quickly. "Why did you bring him too?"
"I was worried that Chen'er would be left alone there, so I brought her here." Xi Honglei answered Shu Rumei without any concealment.
Shu Rumei twitched the corners of her mouth with a smile, and after staring at Xi Zichen for a while, Shu Rumei suddenly waved her hand at him and said, "Come and sit here at Ai's house."
"Your Majesty, the child is dishonest, so it's better to sit here with me." Xi Honglei declined politely.
"Mother-in-law, Chen'er was playing in the mud outside just now. Your clothes will be stained." Xi Zichen wisely continued after hearing Xi Honglei's words.
Shu Rumei looked at Chen'er's clean little hands and clothes, and sneered. "This smart guy looks very much like your parents."
After Shu Rumei finished speaking, she pressed her temples with a headache. Leaning back on the chair, Shu Ru looked at Xi Honglei intently and asked: "The Ai family heard that the emperor made Hao Weiwei the queen, did you listen?"
What’s your opinion?”
"That's true. Isn't the Queen Mother dissatisfied with this queen?" Xi Honglei knew that Shu Rumei was angry, but he was not ready to bow to her at all. "But after thinking about it, I feel that no matter who the emperor wants to be the queen,
It probably won’t satisfy the Queen Mother.”
Xi Honglei's sarcasm made Shu Rumei snort coldly. "You are of the same mind as the Emperor now."
"What the Queen Mother said is wrong. The Emperor is the Queen Mother's son. The person who has the same heart as the Emperor should be the Queen Mother and not someone else, right?" Xi Honglei glanced at Lin Yi behind Shu Rumei,
Youyou said: "Although the emperor has appointed Hao Weiwei as the queen, everyone can see that Hao Weiwei cannot take charge of the harem. Does the queen mother think that the emperor has really chosen someone who can be on par with the queen mother to take charge?
Will you feel at ease only if you live in the harem? I think if things really turn out like this, then the Queen Mother will be more restless than anyone else, right?"
"You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. Sooner or later, the Ai family will have to pull out your teeth." Shu Rumei said coldly.
"Honglei has become sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. How come the Queen Mother has such an idea today?" Xi Honglei pursed her lips and continued with a smile: "Queen Mother, why can't you just let the Emperor make his own decision?
What? If the Queen Mother had not restrained the Emperor in this way, then I think today’s Queen would not be Hao Weiwei, and today’s Xi Hongli would not leave your side to marry Prince Nanjun.”
"Are you threatening the Ai family to stop?" Shu Rumei frowned and asked with clenched fists.
"Hong Lei doesn't dare. Hong Lei just wants to remind the Queen Mother that the Emperor is so old and the Queen Mother is really not young. Seeing that the Queen Mother's body and bones are not as good as our young people, then why bother to try so hard?
Are you going to fight for the world with us young people? Isn’t the harem such a big place not enough for the Queen Mother to show her strength?"
