princess is fine

Xi Chao held Xiao Rongjin in his arms, and when her mood eased, he straightened up slightly and separated from her: "I may be busy with pharmaceuticals in the past few days, so Chao'er can't stay with His Highness all the time. Remember to take care of yourself, Your Highness."

She looked at Xiao Rongjin's slightly flushed almond eyes, and couldn't help reaching out her hands to touch them. The skin under her hands was slightly warm. Although the temperature was not high, it burned Xi Chao's heart: "Your Highness, these days, always I'm very busy, but no matter how busy I am, I still have to remember to stop and rest." She hesitated for a moment, and said the rest: "The court affairs should not be shouldered by His Highness..."

Xiao Rongjin was taken aback for a moment, she opened her slightly closed eyes, then moved her body, and walked to the soft couch beside her: "You shouldn't have said that." Her tone had returned to its usual calmness, but it was more Usually there is a little more helplessness: "Besides, how can you stop just by saying stop."

Xi Chao recalled the conversation he heard in the palace today. If Gao Jinnian and Zhou Di's plan was successful, the consequences would be disastrous, but what kind of role does His Highness play in this?She has frequent contacts with Gao Jinnian, and what position she stands in... Xi Chao naturally does not believe that Xiao Rongjin is the kind of courtier who plays power and disregards the common people, but his Highness has never mentioned these things to her except to express his father's position.

If she asked today, would she be involved in this?

Xi Chao took a focused look at His Highness, and saw that His Highness seemed to be thinking, so he couldn't help opening his mouth, and told Xiao Rongjin the words he heard in the palace today.

Hearing what she said, Xiao Rongjin was slightly surprised.Although she already knew that Gao Jinnian and the Zhou family were involved, she never thought that they wanted to start a war!

She stood up and walked a few steps towards the door, then felt something was wrong, turned to look at Xi Chao: "Chao'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, so you just pretend you didn't hear anything, did you hear?" , Xiao Rongjin's tone already had a hint of sternness, which shocked Xi Chao's heart, and he just replied blankly: "Yes" and then watched Xiao Rongjin leave the dormitory.

Xi Chao clenched his palms slightly, knowing that he shouldn't take care of these things, and also cleared that Xiao Rongjin was protecting himself.But when Xiao Rongjin excluded her so obviously, Xi Chao was still a little sad.

She stood quietly for a while, then went back to her room.

The embroidered handkerchief that Luyan gave her was placed on the table, and Xi Chao stroked it for a while, then sighed softly.

Since entering the palace, it was probably because all she met were Zhiqin Zhihua and the sisters who treated her sincerely, but she never thought that someone might approach her with ill intentions.

Maybe she has some difficulties?Xi Chao thought in a daze.

It's just that this kind of thinking was destroyed again when Xi Chao encountered green smoke at the door of Xiao Rongjin's study the next day.

She looked at Lu Yan with apologetic eyes, and still had a warm smile on her face: "I think Miss Chao'er is going to accompany His Highness, so I just want to wait here for a while..."

Xi Chao interrupted her: "Your Highness doesn't like other people coming to this courtyard at will, you should wait for me outside in the future."

Lu Yan seemed a little surprised, but seeing Xi Chao's firm tone, she bowed her head in embarrassment and said, "I broke the rules..."

Seeing her weak appearance, Xi Chao couldn't bear it, so he walked out of the hall with her: "I'm just worried that you will be punished again. In the future, if you want to see me, you can go directly to my courtyard."

"Hey, good!" Hearing this, Lu Yan became a little happy again, she picked up some interesting things in the palace and talked to Xi Chao, and in a short while, the embarrassment just disappeared.

After talking, Xi Chao suddenly asked unintentionally: "The square handkerchief you gave me last time, the embroidery on it is really good, where did you learn it?"

When Lu Yan heard this, she probably mentioned something she was good at, and she couldn't help but have a hint of pride in her mouth: "That was taught by my mother. She used to be the master of the embroidery workshop. Her skills cannot be learned by others."

"That is to say, in this palace, you are the only one who can embroider such beautiful patterns?" Xi Chao shook his hands, but there was still a curious smile on his face.

"Of course there are people who are better at embroidery than mine, but the stitches are different, and the patterns that come out are naturally different. Look at the stitches taught by my mother, and the water path left is also different from others. You should pay more attention to the use of color..." Lu Yan said with joy, and explained to Xi Chao with a handkerchief in her hand.

Xi Chao also stretched out his hand to touch the handkerchief, and the technique became more and more familiar until it overlapped with the handkerchief he dropped when he met Zhou Yu a few days ago.She only felt that the silk was slightly cool, and in this warm spring, it turned into a chill and penetrated straight into her heart... Xi Chao opened his mouth slightly, and there was no trace of difficulty in his voice: "That would be great, if I have someone like you You can also embroider a square handkerchief and give it to His Highness as a congratulatory gift."

"As a congratulatory gift for Your Highness?!" Lu Yan seemed to have inadvertently bit down on the word Your Highness.

"Well, His Highness and the Prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty have been very happy going out these few days. I'm afraid something good is about to happen... Since I am His Highness's attendant, I must give you a thoughtful gift, don't you think?" Xi Chao Slightly lowering his eyes, he looked at the gray bricks under his feet.

"Ah? Why haven't I heard of this..." Lu Yan seemed extremely surprised, and Xi Chao even heard a hint of disbelief.

"By the way, what His Highness said, you can't make a big deal of it. She said this, but you can't let some people know. You don't want to say it!" After Xi Chao said this, he changed the subject with Lu Yan, but Seeing that she was absent-minded until she left, Xi Chao faded the smile on his face, and murmured a few words with some discomfort: "You can, don't say it."

If you don't tell me, you will still be my sister Luyan. It was my fault for tempting you, and I will definitely apologize to you!If you said it, if you said it...

Xi Chao squatted down slowly, his eyes were a little sour, but he couldn't cry anymore.These days in the palace finally made her understand something.

His Highness will protect her, as long as she is here, it is impossible to be uninvolved.Even if it is pretending not to hear or not to hear, someone still wants her to understand that not everyone thinks about simple words.

Sun Lao entered the palace two days later and asked the emperor to take Xi Chao out of the palace.

On the day Xi Chao left, Xue Qing happened to also come to Jinmo Palace, and Xi Chao deliberately stood at the door of the study for a while.After hearing Xue Qing's news that Gao Jinnian and Zhou Di had a sudden disagreement, she turned and left.

Although she had guessed the result long ago, she was still a little confused. She was waiting to leave the palace. The moment she saw Elder Sun, Xi Chao suddenly burst into tears, just like the one she met for the first time three or four years ago. Like a child, he vented his emotions without reservation.

Elder Sun sighed softly, and stroked Xi Chao's ungrown shoulders: "Chao'er, if you have a chance, get out of here. You shouldn't have come here."

Xi Chao just sobbed a few times, but didn't say a word.

Gu Tongzhou had already left after Xi Chao returned to the palace. He traveled with his master since he was a child, and he was used to being a traveling doctor, but he was not used to life in the capital.

But when I went to the palace that day, I met Gu Huaixiu who seemed to have a lot of research on Xueshang, and the request he made at that time was to participate in the preparation of the medicine.

Elder Sun couldn't wish for this matter, and Gu Huaixiu's special status seemed not to be restricted by the embassy. In this way, the confidence of the pharmaceutical company was greatly increased.

During the few days when Xi Chao was outside the palace, he heard that there seemed to be some changes in the court in the past few days, but it was none of her business...

"Zhou Di seems to have been stimulated by something in the past few days. He even wrote to the emperor to impeach several officials for several days. Is this a bit abnormal?" Xiao Rongxuan looked at the imperial sister who was sitting at the top, and raised his own doubts. .

"He just jumped over the wall because he saw that his plan with Gao Jinnian was about to come to an end. Don't worry, just wait for him to make trouble."

Xiao Rongjin was calm and relaxed. She picked up the teacup on the side and listened to Xiao Rongxuan asking: "Miss Huang, you communicate with Gao Jinnian on the bright side, and they trade in the dark. How could Zhou Di easily believe that Gao Jinnian is real?" gave up on him?"

Xiao Rongjin's eyes darkened slightly, and she put down the teacup in her hand: "Would you believe me if I said that a court lady helped me?" She didn't believe such a coincidence at first, but Zhihua had a crush on her that day. What she said really surprised her... In the past few days, she just saw that Xi Chao was in a bad mood, so she asked Zhi Hua to be more careful.I didn't expect to hear such a conversation.

However, although Xiao Rongjin was grateful to have such unexpected help, she was also a little worried about Xi Chao.

She seemed to have not contacted her since she left the palace that day... Xiao Rongjin thought about it in a daze, until Xiao Rongxuan said several times before realizing it: "Sister Huang, is your body..."

"It's okay, I just feel a little tired. Let Xue Ling do the rest, and don't let yourself be in it." Xiao Rongjin reminded a few more words before calling Zhiqin to send Xiao Rongxuan out, leaving behind Knowing that the paintings are in the house.

"You... If you have nothing to do, go out of the palace and visit the Sun Mansion." Xiao Rongjin ordered, paused, and said, "Keep quiet."

Zhihua responded, and then bowed and retreated, leaving Xiao Rongjin standing alone in front of the window, looking at the trees that had turned green, suddenly feeling a little monotonous.

……

Xi Chao stayed in the Sun Mansion for a few days, and went back home a few times on the way, but because of the importance of going out of the palace this time, he didn't dare to stay longer.It's just that Xi Fengshu saw that something was wrong with his daughter, so he called her into the study and talked for a while.

When facing his father, Xi Chao finally expressed all the thoughts hidden in his heart, but skipped all the political details, and only said that he was emotional about the green smoke.

Xi Fengshu was silent for a long time before he sighed slowly: "I thought it was your elder brother who told me these things, not you."

Xi Chao took his father's hand and looked at him: "Actually, Chao'er understands a little bit, but there seems to be a hurdle in his heart, and he can't get over it no matter what."

Xi Fengshu looked at his daughter beside him, stroked his beard and said, "Does Chao'er feel that she is at fault, or is someone else at fault?"

"I don't know, but if it's Luyan, what is her reason? Or, she is doing what she thinks is right, but I lied to her first. After all, it wasn't her who approached me first... ..."

"Chao'er," Xi Fengshu said with a slight emphasis: "If Zhou Di's plan succeeds, do you think who is right and who is wrong? You just need to remember one thing, there is no right or wrong in a court dispute. But if it involves the people, It’s not a word that can be cheated.”

"Maybe you don't understand these things, but let's think about Mr. Sun teaching you medical skills. The first lesson is benevolence. In fact, it's the same as an official." Xi Fengshu paused again, and then continued: "You were born when you were young. You have an open-minded heart, which is quite similar to your grandfather, but now it’s hard to understand because of these things, it’s really wrong..."

The author has something to say:

This chapter actually touched my heart.Many plots were carried over by one sentence, only Chao'er's change of mood remained.On the one hand, it is really incompetent for those grand and meticulous political scenes, and the focus of this article is not secondary.On the other hand, I want to express Xi Chao's growth, but I don't know if it is a bit abrupt (after all, some scenes are omitted too much, but it really can't be delayed any longer).

At the same time, I also hope that all the babies can give me some suggestions. I like to discuss the characters in the play with you (because the plot cannot withstand scrutiny, shame).
