Jiaochu

Chapter 36: A serial plan to remove the thorn in the side ([-])
Aunt Li comforted her: "Princess, don't think too much. In this palace, the most important thing for the imperial concubine is our empress. She also takes good care of her on weekdays. Her Highness also often sends things to the princess. Princess, don't listen to those villains." Word."

"Is Aunt Huizhi a villain?" Ye Lingxi asked, tilting her head.

Aunt Li was stunned by the question. She paused for a few seconds and then tried to persuade her: "What Aunt Huizhi said are all angry words and cannot be taken seriously. Those people down here like to gossip, make irresponsible remarks, and gossip. Princess, please don't do that." Believe this nonsense.”

Ye Lingxi nodded, looking obedient.

Aunt Li didn't doubt that there was fraud in it. After all, the other party was just a child. How could he make up such a lot of words? Especially the words about the throne frightened her. How could a six-year-old child say it casually?

"Princess, do you know the person who spoke to Aunt Huizhi?"

Ye Lingxi knew that Aunt Li would ask this question, and had already thought of another candidate to take the blame.In his previous life, that man had cheated on others, took refuge in Xiyan, and helped Xiyan envoys steal military defense plans. After the incident was exposed, he was sentenced to death.

In this life, let him and Concubine Xiao fight like dogs.

"I don't know him. He has a mole here. It's red and very strange."

Ye Lingxi pointed to her chin, and Aunt Li immediately knew who it was.

Eunuch Wei, the eunuch in charge of the waiter, had a red mole on his chin. He had a deep scheming mind, a generous and kind face, but he would always retaliate. He was not easy to get along with.

When she arrived at the koi pond, Aunt Li had already made some calculations in her mind.It's not like Aunt Li has never seen Huizhi's pretentious and condescending attitude behind her back. Last time, a little palace maid accidentally bumped into her and she sent her to the cleaning room to clean the eunuch's toilet. Now the empress is not too busy. , who in the palace doesn't want to curry favor with Concubine Xiao, Huizhi has become more and more powerful and proud, and no one except the master and empress really pays attention to her.

If you keep your mouth open, you will not last long in the palace.

Aunt Li waved to a young eunuch who was waiting nearby and told her to bring some fish food. After the fish food was brought, Ye Lingxi no longer wanted to see the koi, and said she wanted to see the puppies, so she went to Kunning Palace. The direction went, and Aunt Li followed closely with Hehe and Bell.

As soon as they entered Kunning Palace, a palace maid came into the palace to announce.

After a while, Aunt Qiu, who was beside the queen, came out to greet her.

"Why is the princess here at this time? Your Majesty is inside. Come in quickly."

Aunt Li said hello to Aunt Qiu and followed her into the palace. The queen leaned on the couch and played chess with herself. A ball of snow-white fur was sleeping at her feet. The tips of her snow-white ears moved and her white hair opened. With two black eyes, round and bright, and not a single speck of color on his body except for his black nose, and with his chubby body, the name "Snowball" is worthy of his name.

Hearing the sound of the curtain opening, the queen looked over at the visitor. When she saw Ye Lingxi, her face that seemed to be covered with a layer of sadness became a little brighter.

"Lingxi is here, come and sit down."

The queen stretched out her hand lovingly, and Ye Lingxi ran over and called her mother obediently. A smile appeared on the queen's dignified and beautiful cheeks. After taking Ye Lingxi to the bed, the queen asked Aunt Qiu to bring the plate of jujube mud cake to Ye Lingxi. Lingxi ate and asked for a cup of milk tea.The Queen asked her again if she was tired from studying in the Master's Study Room and what the Master had taught her. Ye Lingxi replied that she was not tired and also named several articles that the Master had taught her in the past two days.

Aunt Qiu came over with a plate of jujube paste cakes and a cup of milk tea. She put the things down and said with a smile: "I heard that Master Xu, who teaches, is very strict. Even His Highness is afraid of it."

"It's not good for a little girl like you to hang out with those boys all day long. A woman's lack of talent is a virtue. The most important thing in a girl's family is virtue. Just being able to recognize two words is enough. You still need to learn some needlework. Your mother My concubine’s embroidery skills are pretty good, you should learn more from your mother and concubine.”

Facing the Queen's earnest instruction, Ye Lingxi nodded obediently.

"The princess was clamoring to see Snowball just now. If we, the queen, were not too weak to raise these cats and dogs, and were afraid of causing trouble, we would have found one for the princess to keep in the palace." Ye Lingxi glanced at it. He glanced at Aunt Li and said, "I just like Xueqiu, and nothing else can compare to Xueqiu." After saying that, Gulu climbed down and held Xueqiu in his arms, and Xueqiu also rubbed Ye Lingxi's little face affectionately. , Ye Lingxi reached out and touched Xueqiu's little head, and Xueqiu took the initiative to rub it against her palm.

"Mother, how old is Snowball?"

"I don't remember much either." The queen looked at Aunt Qiu, who replied, "Xueqiu was sent by Master Xiao Shen three years ago. At that time, Master Xiao Shen said that Snowball was already half a year old."

The queen was originally the eldest daughter of Duke Shen. Her name was Min, and she had a younger brother, Shen Ning. The young Master Shen in Aunt Qiu's mouth was this younger brother.

This Master Xiao Shen is also one of the most handsome men in the capital. He is literary, elegant, unrestrained and unrestrained, which is completely opposite to the Queen's temperament.

Just as he was talking about it, a palace maid came in to report that Mr. Xiao Shen had sent something over again.The maid brought the things in for the queen to take a look at, and an older maid answered outside the curtain.

"The young master came back from outside today and brought back a large section of fresh lotus root. He said it was a family heirloom. The young master had to wear his tongue before he was allowed to sell it to him. As soon as he came back, he arranged for people to send some to the palace. Give it to your Majesty to have a taste."

The queen smiled and said: "What a family heirloom, he must have made it up again." She also told him, "You are all old people in the house. You should always look after the young master and don't let the young master do anything outrageous."

After asking some more questions about the current situation at home, the queen asked Aunt Qiu to send the person away.

After coming out of Kunning Palace, Ye Lingxi saw that it was not too late and wanted to see the white pot, so she asked Aunt Li to go back first, saying that she wanted to play in the imperial garden for a while.After Aunt Li told Hehe and Dingdang to take good care of them, she left first.

After turning behind the rockery, Aunt Li changed direction and headed towards Concubine Xiao's palace.

When passing by the koi pond, a young eunuch came over to greet Ye Lingxi diligently. Ye Lingxi saw that it was none other than Xiao Anzi whom he had met at the martial arts training ground in the morning.

"The princess still recognizes the slave. The last time we were in the imperial garden, it was the slave who reported the letter to the emperor. Seeing the slave's cleverness, Eunuch De promoted the slave to serve as an errand for the emperor. It is all thanks to the princess that the slave has such a good fortune. In the future, Princess, if you have anything to do, just ask the servant."

Ye Lingxi was a little surprised when she heard these words. She didn't know how Xiao Anzi was promoted to her father's side as a servant in the previous life. In short, he was a smart guy who could seize every opportunity to climb up.

"Please call me Xiao Anzi. This princess will remember you."

"I will be lucky enough to be appreciated by the princess. If the princess goes slowly, I won't bother you."

Xiao Anzi stepped aside and waited for Ye Lingxi to walk by before raising his head that had been lowered respectfully. His eyes fell on Ye Lingxi's small back. A smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. His expression was unpredictable, and the next moment his face recovered. As usual, as smart and respectful as ever, he left with his head slightly lowered.

After walking away, Ye Lingxi asked the two people behind him: "What do you think of that little Anzi? Can you believe what he said?"

"Princess, I see that little Anzi is glib and talkative. He must be dishonest. If he comes to curry favor with the princess today, he might go to curry favor with someone else tomorrow. I can't believe it." Lingdang was the first to express her opinion.

He He nodded in agreement, not liking Xiao Anzi's fawning face.

Ye Lingxi also decided to wait and see what happened to see if Xiao Anzi would sincerely surrender or pretend to be courteous in the future.
