Chapter 126 Princess: To be honest, the son-in-law is lame
Sima Xian's heart beat like a drum!
She grabbed the silk handkerchief in her hand, her cheeks were hot, her eyes wandered and she didn't dare to look up.

She was in the distance, and when she caught a glimpse of this, she ran over without thinking, holding up her skirt, and the maids behind her couldn't keep up with her.

She looked down at the pair of men's soft boots with black brocade plain pattern and gold thread on the opposite side, blushed, saluted and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the young master lost his way in the imperial garden?"

Qin Shou's thin lips were pursed into a straight line. This scene reminded him of those restless maids in the past, always intentionally or unintentionally blocking his only way, which was annoying.

Later, he simply killed a few maids, and no one dared to do it again.

Sima Xian was worried, she quietly raised her eyes, glanced at Qin Shou's tense jaw, then quickly lowered her eyes, "If you don't know the way, young master, you can lead the way."

Qin Shou had never been very patient with unsightly passers-by, he frowned redly between his brows, and turned his feet to go around.

Unexpectedly, Sima Xian stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve in a panic.

Qin Shou raised his backhand and swung his sleeves in the wind. Sima Xian, who was fanning vigorously, couldn't help but take several steps back.

She was taken aback and felt sad, "Master, why is this? I..."

"Go away!" Qin Shou reprimanded in a low voice, for someone with his skills, he was very taboo to be touched by others, especially those who didn't approve of him.

Sima Xian opened his eyes wide, and the eye sockets overflowed with moisture in an instant.

She was also brought up pampered by the Sima family, and as the Sima family's wife, she was always sought after when she left, and she had never received such a cold reception.

What's more, she was still preconceived, and missed Qin Shou's good looks.

There is nothing more embarrassing than someone who has a crush on him speaking ill of him, Sima Xian was so ashamed and angry that he almost wanted to commit suicide.

However, there was something that made her feel even more ashamed——

"Sure enough, she is a good daughter taught by the Sima family. She is so frivolous. She dares to rob my palace. She really has no shame. It seems that marrying the young master of the Shangguan family is flattering you, otherwise , even if they go underground together, the young master of the Shangguan family is destined to wear a green scarf on his head."

Concubine Luo picked up the vicious words and said that she had made an agreement with the queen and set a date. As soon as she came out of the palace, she saw the scene where Sima Xian was about to reach out to pull Qin Shou.

Even though she didn't want to see Qin Shou any more, and she didn't have the self-consciousness of being Princess Rong, but in the capital, if someone poached a corner of Concubine Luo's one-acre land, she wouldn't be laughed at if she went out.

Besides, how dare she let Qin Shou and Sima's family get along with each other, and she was very annoyed because of the unclear matter of the empress.

Sima Xian's complexion was pale, and her slender and delicate body was on the verge of falling.

The queen who came out with Concubine Luo's complexion was also gloomy. She stared at Sima Xian and shouted, "Hurry over here! Those are the princess and the son-in-law, and you can talk to them as you like?"

These words were vaguely mentioning Sima Xian.

Sure enough, Sima Xian lowered her head and quickly bowed her knees to Concubine Luo, "Princess, it's the daughter of the people who overstepped. Seeing the son-in-law wandering in the garden, the daughter-in-law thought she had lost her way, so she came forward to ask."

Concubine Luo snorted coldly, she didn't look good anymore, "Sister-in-law, it seems that the Sima family's rules have gone through three dynasties, and they are no longer strict. Why don't sister-in-law speak to the family, the juniors in the family have also changed their habits."

The empress knew from the very beginning that the emperor's precious Concubine Luo was not good, so she didn't dare to stand in front of her right now, so she had no choice but to say yes one after another.

Sima Xian wanted to say something else, but the queen stopped her with a pinch of her arm.

Concubine Luo gave Qin Shou a cold look, and saw that he stretched his brows slightly, stood aside and looked at him a little softly, without making a sound, following Concubine Luo's outburst.

Concubine Luo's eyes flicked around his face, and she felt that it was really a disaster, even if she stood there completely still, she would attract bees and butterflies.

She passed in front of Qin Shou, and when she was about to rub shoulders, she stomped heavily and glared at him.

Qin Shou took advantage of the opportunity to grab her wrist, and said in a mellow voice, "Princess, don't be jealous, she is not as good-looking as you, she is very ugly."

These words were not spoken loudly, but everyone present, including the eunuch Yiying Gong'e, could hear them clearly.

Sima Xian almost fainted on the spot, she couldn't bear it anymore, buried her head in the queen's arms and cried out.

Concubine Luo's scalp suddenly opened, and her whole hair went numb. She glanced at the sad Sima Xian who was crying. Although she secretly felt a faint sense of being bullied, she still raised her eyebrows and said with a straight face, " The son-in-law has always been lame, don't let the emperor's wife believe it."

After saying this, she walked away with her people, not bothering to deal with the people of Sima's family.

After leaving the palace and getting on the golden chariot, Concubine Luo took a few more glances at Qin Shou, sized him up and down, and felt that this man seemed to be getting sicker and sicker, and his words and words were not as usual. , where there is still a tit-for-tat confrontation with her bridal chamber.

Such Qin Shou made her quite uncomfortable. She always felt that he was plotting something, and she felt very uneasy.

Qin Shou used to lean on the pillow of dark purple winter jasmine flowers. He bent one leg and put one hand on it.

He looked at Concubine Luo with small eyes, as if he was looking at a butterfly that was gradually falling into the net without knowing it. Once its wings were restrained, it would be impossible to fly out again.

Concubine Luo's back felt hairy, as if she was being watched by a bird of prey, but she didn't know where to hide and what she wanted to do with the bird of prey.

She really couldn't stand such an atmosphere, so she said, "The person invited by my palace will go to Putuo Temple tomorrow and will stay in the temple for one night, so who is the monk who is familiar with the queen?"

The corner of Qin Shou's mouth was darkened, and his smoke-colored phoenix eyes only looked at her without speaking.

Concubine Luo continued, "In my previous life, what happened to the Empress was also with..."

She couldn't say what happened next, the fire in the Golden Luan Palace often appeared in her dreams, and it lasted for a long time.

Qin Shou thought about it for a while, and said, "What I burned was an empty hall."

The inexplicable sentence made Concubine Luo unable to react for a while, she stared at him blankly, not knowing why.

Qin Shou sighed secretly, looking at her dazed look, he wanted to pinch the tip of her nose like an emperor.

He moved his fingertips, and said in more detail, "In the last life, until the end, your brother and the queen mother were alive, and what I burned was just an empty temple to paralyze the world."

For the things he has done, he has always been too lazy to explain, he has always done everything, and it is useless to talk about it, so he rarely mentions it, but on this point, today, he suddenly wanted to say it, I want her to know.

Concubine Luo grabbed his sleeve suddenly, she lowered her head, she couldn't see her expression clearly, she could only hear her slightly trembling voice, "Don't lie to me..."

Qin Shou's eyes fell on the sleeves, on the curled pale fingers, he stretched out his hand to lift her chin, making her look into his eyes, and said expressionlessly, "Xi Mi, ask yourself, why have I ever said a word to you?" A lie, huh?"
