The prince is very fierce

During the drizzle, Xiao Mansion's carriage stopped outside the imperial city. The maids of Changle Palace stood at the palace gate, waiting quietly with the chariot beside them.

Xiao Xiang'er, who was wearing a long black dress, was helped out of the carriage by Qiao'e. She was holding a Xiao parcel in her hand, which was full of trivial items bought from the market and Qujiang Pond last night. .

Although the failure to call Xu Buling made this trip out of the palace a lot of fun, it was much more interesting than the boring deep palace. Xiao Xiang'er still had a lot of fun. He didn't sleep a wink all night, lying on the bed with Qiao'e. On the big lawn by the river pool, I watched the stars and fed the mosquitoes, set off fireworks and ate a lot of candied haws, just like at home in Huainan. I knew it was raining lightly in the early morning, so I reluctantly got on the carriage.

In the blink of an eye, it was already bright, and Xiao Xiang'er returned to the outside of Changle Palace as a 'guest' for the first time. He sat on the soft couch and looked back at Chang'an in the rain.

Maybe this is the only chance in my life. If my sister had not left, she might be able to come out a few more times. Next time I must call Xu Buling...

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiang'er frowned slightly, put away his mind, and allowed himself to return to the queen mother who shouldered the family's honor and etiquette rules. She sat on the chariot dignifiedly and politely and entered the palace.

Qiao'e was a little unhappy, so she covered her mouth with her hands and hit him, then she came close to the chariot and whispered:

"Miss, the 'Queen Mother' must not have slept well last night. The palace is very lifeless. It's scary when it rains and winds..."

Xiao Xiang'er snorted lightly, maintaining the posture of the head of the Xiao family, sitting on the chariot neatly: "She is so courageous that even the devil is afraid of her. If she has nothing to do, she will definitely turn things into a mess..."

After saying this, Xiao Xiang'er suddenly frowned - she wouldn't have dug out my little box, would she? The quail eggs and the little man are still inside...

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiang'er's eyes panicked slightly. He urged the chariot to run quickly to the back of the dormitory, then got down and ran outside the dormitory on foot.

In the early morning, the palace maids were preparing breakfast. Five big and three-thick orchids were standing under the eaves, being scolded by Xiao Qi with a cold face:

"Did you fall asleep last night?"

Lan Hua was more honest, and just lowered her head: "No, what happened last night?"

Xiao Qi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said coldly: "There were birds flying around outside the window last night, and you didn't notice it?"

Lanhua's face was blank, she had indeed discovered nothing.

When Xiao Xiang'er saw this scene, she thought that this intelligent sister was frightened by the cold environment in the palace, so she stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Queen Mother, it's just a few birds, it's no big deal."

"No big deal?"

There was a hint of shame, anger and humiliation in Xiao Qi's eyes, but there were some words she obviously couldn't say. She tightened her tight phoenix skirt, turned around and walked into the dormitory:

"You come in with me, and the others go down."

"yes!"

The maid and palace maid remained silent and quickly retreated.

Xiao Xiang'er blinked, a little confused, followed into the bedroom, turned around and closed the door:

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qi clutched the hem of her skirt tightly and walked back and forth in the room. Her expression was as calm as ever, but her eyes were a little confused. After walking a few steps, he sat down on the soft couch and said coldly:

"Xiao Xiang'er, you always tell me, what have you done in the palace these years?"

Xiao Xiang'er was a little confused, walked to the side and sat down, looking at her somewhat angry sister:

"I've been here for ten years and even getting sick is a luxury. What can I do?"

Xiao Qi pursed her lips. Seeing that Xiao Xiang'er was still pretending to be innocent, she felt a little angry in her heart, but she also knew that her sister had not had an easy life these years. The man last night was unparalleledly handsome, and those poems must have been sent by that man. With his eloquent tongue, it was normal for my sister not to be able to withstand the temptation. If it were pointed out directly, with Xiang'er's temperament, he would have no shame to commit suicide in front of others. No. This matter can only be handled by her as a sister...

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi's anger subsided a bit. She sat up straight and looked at her sisters seriously:

"Xian'er, I know how miserable you are, but no matter how hard, tired or wronged you are, you must remember that your surname is 'Xiao'. I, the children of the Xiao family, are by no means those barbarians and foolish women in the market. We regard the world as our own responsibility, honor and disgrace." , reputation and even life and death can be thrown away, you have to remember your identity. "

Xiao Xiang'er nodded lightly. She always remembered that in order to prevent chaos in the world, she sacrificed her life to save Xu Buling. Consciously having a clear conscience, one is naturally confident:

"You don't need to teach me these things. I remember them better than you."

"..."

Xiao Qi frowned slightly, wanting to take out the things under the bed and slap her sister directly on the face. But that's not how things work after all. She thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"I am the elder sister. I am in charge of the Xiao family in Huainan. Even if you are married, I can still control you. If I find that you did something wrong that day and 'correct' it a little, you can't blame me as my elder sister."

Xiao Xiang'er nodded, a little bored: "You have taken care of me since you were a child. This is not the first time. As long as you are right, when have I ever blamed you?"

Xiao Qi nodded, and she didn't say much. After leaving the palace and imprisoning the harmful 'face-shou', Xiang'er would naturally understand what she said today when she found out that the face-shou was missing. It's just a face. She knows her sister's temperament. She is not a foolish woman in the market. After realizing her mistake, she will naturally forget it. When the time comes, she will bury the man and the matter will be over...

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi stood up, took off her red phoenix robe, threw it aside, and stretched out her hand:

"Give me my clothes."

Xiao Xiang'er was actually a little reluctant to part with it, and thought for a while: "There is a family dinner at my house today, and I haven't been back for a long time. Otherwise..."

Xiao Qi's eyes darkened slightly: "Prince Su is here for the banquet today. It's very important. What's the use of you going? Just stay in the palace... I'll come back in a few days."

When Xiao Xiang'er heard this, she felt guilty and couldn't say much. While taking off her robe, she looked at the bed inside, feeling a little confused:

"Why did you change all the bedding and pillows?"

The expression in Xiao Qi's eyes changed slightly, she folded her arms and looked away:

"I drank too much last night. I vomited on the bed and threw it all away."

"Eh~"

Xiao Xiang'er's eyes were full of disgust. After thinking about it for a while, his face became nervous again: "What did you drink?"

"I've thrown away the poisoned wine. If you feel really depressed in the future, just send me a letter and I'll come over to stay with you for a few days. Don't always think about seeking death..."

Xiao Qi said this and sighed softly. She was a little hesitant about how to deal with that face-shou - maybe it would be better to be castrated and sent to the palace as a eunuch. Although he couldn't do anything to satisfy his sister, the dead face-shou could not do anything to satisfy his sister. Her verbal skills are very good, and she should be able to relieve her sister's loneliness... In the deep palace, food fights are very common, and it is not uncommon for concubines who have fallen out of favor to mix with eunuchs. Xiang'er is the queen mother, and even if the current emperor knows, the other party is a The eunuch is not considered a man, so he won't be too angry after thinking about it... It's better than my sister being suffocated to death...
