Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

There were two people squatting under the flower bed in the southwest corner of the imperial garden, appearing and disappearing, accompanied by the low hum of digging shovels hitting the ground.

"Ah Jing, didn't you ask how the two new bonsai in my yard came about?" Dongyue raised her eyebrows and dug up a layer of soil with a shovel, "That's how it came about."

Ah Jing grabbed the weeds next to her and said with a disheveled expression, "You didn't tell me in advance that you stole it."

Or steal it from the emperor's imperial garden.

She looked around, then looked at Dongyue who was digging hard, "Hey, are you sure you're okay? Will we be caught?"

"Don't worry," Dongyue carefully held the rhizome in her hands and moved the pot she brought, "I've done it many times, and I've never been caught on the spot."

Xiao Guizi said that as long as he wasn't caught on the spot, he could get back afterwards.

Ah Jing turned her head and looked at the guards patrolling behind the pillar, "Are you... sure?"

"Sure, sure," Dongyue handed the small shovel into her hand, "Go ahead, we have to go back to make dinner later!"

Ah Jing: "..."

She didn't want to be such an unskilled thief, so she took a shovel and looked left and right, looking through the branches and leaves, and suddenly caught a figure flashing through the gap.

"Dongyue, you dig first, I will come as soon as I go."

"Hey!" Seeing that Ah Jing left without looking back, Dongyue yelled in a low voice, but failed to call her back, so she had to leave her alone for the time being.

Ah Jing has kung fu, not to mention excellent, but also excellent.Step lightly, hold your breath, it's hard to be noticed.

She walked forward step by step, the closer she got, the more certain that there was someone in this direction.

"His Royal Highness Chen Wang."

Before anyone saw it, the voice came first.

The orange skirt swayed with the steps, and Concubine Xian came out from behind the bushes, her eyes were as soft as water, and there was affection hidden in her eyes, but she didn't dare to let others see it.

Yang Chu stepped back with great insight, and Si Deng also stepped aside to watch the wind.

For a moment, there were only two people left on the path.

Concubine Xian was three steps away from him, and she didn't dare to go forward, "This time I'm going to the northwest, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the expedition is imminent. I can't see His Highness off in front of people, so I have to wait for His Highness here."

She took out a peace talisman from her sleeve, "I went to Putuo Temple to ask for this a few days ago, and I want to give it to His Highness. I hope His Highness will win a big victory and return soon."

Concubine Xian stretched out her hand to pass the things over, but the other party didn't accept them for a long time.

Xiao Yiheng glanced at the peace talisman in her hand, then raised his eyelids to look at her, without any emotion in his eyes.

"The king will not accept the peace talisman, let the concubine Xian keep it for herself."

His tone was rusty, as if the opposite was a stranger.

Concubine Xian pursed her lips, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it, and when she looked at him again, she had calmed down and smiled again.

"Your Highness, don't worry. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to do my part for Da Zhou. As a commander, your own safety can stabilize the morale of the army. This talisman is consecrated by the abbot, and I think it will be beneficial."

Her ardor did not shake Xiao Yiheng.

The man's eyes deepened, he looked at the peace talisman handed to him, and said, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I believe in man-made things. If I want this talisman, I won't accept it."

Seeing Concubine Xian's eyes gradually dimmed, he did not show mercy, "The Chen family follows this king, and this king is also doing his best to give the Chen family the greatest benefits. When I was a child, this king did have some feelings for you, but people are human after all. When you grow up, when you marry His Majesty, this affection should be erased.

You are a concubine and I am a prince, so we shouldn't meet in private, let alone in the palace.There is no need to do this again in the future, and this king does not need you to worry about your safety. "

After Xiao Yiheng finished speaking, he nodded to Concubine Xian, turned and left.

"My lady..."

Si Deng walked up to Concubine Xian, wanting to comfort her, but saw that Concubine Xian had already closed her eyes.

"Si Deng," she took a deep breath, "I know he is so determined, but I still can't help but see him alone before going out."

"Your servant knows, your highness must also know what your empress thinks."

Concubine Xian twitched the corners of her mouth, with a bit of bitterness, "Yes, he knows, he has always known, but he never gave Ben Gong any hope, but Ben Gong still misses him."

What she couldn't get when she was young, she spent the rest of her life thinking about after all.

Si Deng handed over the handkerchief at the right time, but was pushed away by Concubine Xian, "It's okay, go back to the palace."

She suppressed the soreness in her eyes, and opened them again, and it was that proud concubine Xian again.

"Yes."

As soon as Si Deng took two steps, he felt that something was wrong in front of him, and Concubine Xian also stopped after a few breaths——

"Who?!"

It was already dark, but the wobbly figures among the leaves in front of them were very obvious. After the two made their voices, they suddenly ran back.

Concubine Xian turned pale, and Si Deng had already chased after her.

The concubine will have a private meeting with the prince, if word spreads, she will not want to live, nor will the Chen family!
Using his inner strength, Si Deng quickly turned over the bushes and bushes, and chased after the shadow, but instead of seeing the shadow, he ran into the patrolling guards.

The imperial guards naturally recognized the celebrity in front of the virtuous concubine, and couldn't help being surprised, "What is Miss Lantern doing?"

"Someone disturbed the empress just now. I'm worried that thieves broke into the palace with malicious intentions, and I'm afraid it will harm the nobleman."

"There are thieves?!" The imperial guard immediately became alert, and immediately called two groups of people to look around.

Si Deng looked around, but there was no movement, "Did you see any suspicious people?"

"No."

Si Deng couldn't help sinking in his heart, "Isn't there..."

Before the words fell, small footsteps and voices gradually came from my ears, and I turned my head to see Dongyue and Ah Jing coming together, with a bamboo basket on her arm, and there were some small green plants in it.

The three met each other, looked at each other, and prepared to walk away.

When passing by, Si Deng suddenly said, "Wait."

Dongyue realized that she was calling herself, and turned her head puzzled, "What are you doing?"

They are all maidservants, who is more noble than the other, she is the celebrity beside the concubine Xian, and she is the only one under the empress's subordinates!
Si Deng glanced at her, raised his chin, and said nothing.

She knew Dongyue, of course, and knew that Dongyue had no skills, so she didn't care too much, and only focused on A Jing who was next to her.

"who is she?"

Dongyue protects Ah Jing behind her, "What's none of your business?"

"Hmph, just now I bumped into a thief in the Royal Garden. He was sneaking around. I was afraid that it would be bad for His Majesty and Empress. I should ask everyone I don't know well."

She lowered her eyelids and looked at Dongyue, "Why are you nervous? Could it be that you know this thief?"

Dongyue puffed up her chest and refused to give an inch, "The thief who opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut is a thief, but you just talk about what the thief did, so you think so?"
