The domineering queen is in love with me!

However, due to Concubine Mu Gui's enthusiasm, she obediently took the scroll and unfolded it slowly.

"Hey! It's the little yellow man!"

On the flawless ivory scroll, there is an uncolored minion with a cute appearance. Although many places are missing, Yuan Shu still recognizes it at a glance.The subconscious voice of love blurted out, but in the next second, her face paled instantly.

It was her favorite, and no one would know that in this day and age.She will never forget that during the palace banquet a few months ago, she boredly drew on the snow on the road to the middle palace, and then she overheard such a secret...

The words stopped abruptly, the small hand holding the scroll was already trembling faintly, a thin layer of sweat oozed from the palm, and the back was slightly bent and stiff.Her mind was blank, seeing that the lines in the painting were blurred, she didn't even dare to raise her head.

"It turns out that the princess knows this thing. It's a coincidence that someone in the palace saw it on a trail a few months ago. It looked cute. Although I didn't know what it was, I drew it. Since the princess likes it , if not, take it back."

Concubine Mu Gui's tone was soft, as if she hadn't seen anything, she spoke quietly, twisting the silk from time to time and chuckling lightly.It's just that when he saw Yuan Shu's trembling arm, the silent coldness in the graceful phoenix eyes flashed away.

Yuan Shu clenched her teeth, without even thinking about it, the moment she called out the little yellow man in surprise, Concubine Mu confirmed it.But Concubine Mu Gui didn't make it clear, and Yuan Shu, who was caught and revealed herself, didn't dare to mess up.

"Thank you for the reward from the imperial concubine, Yuan Shu really... likes this painting."

"That's fine."

After one sentence, Concubine Mu Gui shook her sleeves and got up, and the bright yellow palace shoes that stabbed Fei Luan appeared in Yuan Shu's sight.Yuan Shu, who was still clutching both ends of the scroll with both hands, was caught off guard, and her lower jaw was slowly lifted by Concubine Mu's outstretched hand.

"Look at the beautiful appearance of the princess. It will be the birthday in two months. It's great. Speaking of which, the princess is a lucky person in the capital city. You have to enjoy this rich and noble life." Well, don’t lose your life by talking too much.”

After all, he is the lord of the West Palace, Mu is undoubtedly a master of acting, even now that he is threatening Yuan Shu, he is still smiling.Just the slightest bit of killing intent in those eyes broke Yuan Shu's heart.Her lips trembled, and she let the fingers with pure gold armor lightly swipe across her small face, the protruding sapphire flashed, and the light flowed in the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

"I don't know if Princess Yuan taught the Princess, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, and forget it after hearing it? However, I am curious, what did the Princess see that night, so I came to talk to me? "

Perhaps Mu's eyes were too ferocious, and the terrified Yuan Shu softened her hands in fright, "Pa!" The sandalwood painting scroll in her hand fell to the ground without force, and there was a burst of shock when the heavy shaft touched the ground. bang.

"Bang!" The door of the inner room was kicked open, and then there was a rush of footsteps approaching. Concubine Mu Gui, who was still in control of Yuanshu, turned completely dark when she saw the person coming, but she still showed her face. The expected smile.

"Ah Li, how long does Mother Concubine think you can last, that's all."

Yuan Shu, who was panting with his jaw loosened, stared blankly at Yuan Li who was standing not far away. Standing in the backlight, she was dressed in formal attire, she was extremely glamorous and cold.Not knowing what kind of complex it was, Yuan Shu, who had lost his mind, called her—"Sister Li!"

Yuan Li, who was still standing still just now, turned her eyes to Yuan Shu who was sitting weakly on the couch. The little girl was really frightened, the voice calling her was sobbing, her heart suddenly ached.Walking over with big strides, when she missed Concubine Mu Gui, without any hesitation, she hugged the limp Yuan Shu into her arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's fine."

The quiet voice fell into her ears, and Yuan Shufang, who put his arms around her neck, stopped crying, and his beating heart gradually calmed down.At this moment, Yuan Li undoubtedly gave her a great sense of security.

"Concubine Mu, Shu'er, she has never seen anything, and she doesn't know anything."

The powerful declarative sentence seems to be justifying the person in his arms, and it also has the meaning of clear protection.Concubine Mu Gui didn't move, she just stared at the two of them calmly, and her eyes moved slightly to Yuan Li's arm around Yuan Shu's waist.

"Mother Concubine didn't say anything, since Ah Li has said so, then it's okay. But, you have to protect her well, if I don't do it, someone will do it."

Yuan Shu, who was hiding in Yuan Li's arms, trembled. Needless to say, the so-called other people must be... Yuan Li's palm secretly patted her on the back, and with subtle movements, she looked at Concubine Mu Gui with sharp eyes like a sword.

"Shu'er is timid, as long as mother and concubine don't tease her, Erchen will not be afraid of other people, no matter who they are."

That haughty and indifferent expression finally angered Mu Shi, and the smile on Xiu Yi's dignified face instantly cracked, and after he pondered for a long while, he sneered coldly: "Okay, that's great, as expected of the Third Highness, there is Very courageous."

It wasn't until Yuan Li walked out of the main palace step by step with Yuan Shu in his arms that the piercing and hateful eyes were slowly cut off.After arriving outside the West Palace, Yuan Li let her go, and stopped when she stood firmly on the palace road.

"Forget what happened just now, go to the rest room hall."

It was already a hot summer day, and Yuan Li, who was dressed as a princess, came in a hurry, her forehead exposed by her long hair was covered with hot sweat.But he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped it for Yuan Shu, completely ignoring himself, but Yuan Shu noticed it, blinked his slightly red eyes, took out the handkerchief given to her by Qingying from his sleeve, pursed his lips and handed it to her. Gave it to Yuan Li.

"Just now... thank you." With a hoarse voice, he still hummed his thanks.

Everyone in the world said: Paper can't wrap fire, Yuan Shu also understands this reason, she has been worried about that matter for half a year.When she just heard it, she was disgusted and scared. Even with Yuan Li's guarantee, she was still worried, and she didn't even enter the palace, thinking that she would be able to avoid it.Obviously she was too stupid, Mu Guifei's temptation and warning frightened her. For a second, she thought that she would not get out of the West Palace alive.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Mu Gui was not the gentle concubine she had imagined at all, and even the other... Fang entered the palace, she and Concubine Yuan were deliberately separated, presumably it was all negotiated.

But who knows, even if no one warns her about such a thing, she will not say it.It's not that she hasn't heard of the love affair between a daughter and a daughter, but she was shocked by the identities of those two people, and it's been a few months since she choked on her throat like a thorn.

Yuan Li seemed to have sensed what she was thinking, took the clean handkerchief from Yuan Shu's hand, looked coldly at the hibiscus flower embroidered in a corner, and said, "You think that kind of relationship is... unacceptable?"

Yuan Shu couldn't figure out what she meant because her voice was unclear, and she just shook her head in a daze.

"In the world, love is difficult to determine. If you love someone...you probably don't care about everything." Human relations and secularity are nothing but rules that restrain people.

To be honest, Yuan Shu really couldn't accept it at first, but it was someone else's business after all, so why should she care.But it's all about loving someone, so how can I get her to despise and give pointers?

Yuan Li's gloomy gaze suddenly brightened, and she felt a little softer when she looked at Yuan Shu, and smiled softly: "I never expected you to think like this."

OK, great!

Yuan Shu didn't know what she was happy about. She guessed it was because one of them was her mother and concubine. Most of them didn't want others to treat their mother with strange eyes.She couldn't help saying seriously: "Sister Li, don't worry, I really won't talk nonsense."

"Well, just don't talk nonsense, and keep it in your heart forever."

Yuan Shu's ears were filled with another deep meaning, this was also the first time since the two of them broke their faces in Baiminglou last time, they spoke in a pleasant manner.Yuan Shu, who was almost saved, immediately chose to trust Yuan Li again.

"Do you like all the things I sent to the palace?" Yuan Li asked before saying goodbye.

Thinking of the rare treasures that piled up half a warehouse, Yuan Shu looked up slightly, and landed on the white silk in Yuan Li's hand, nodded and replied: "I like it...thank you." But she never asked why.

It was probably because Yuan Li didn't say much to her on the site of the West Palace, so she sent someone to send her to the rest room hall.It's just that she looked at Yuan Shu with a very meaningful look when she led Lin Ni away, which shocked Yuan Shu who had finally settled down again.

When seeing Qing Wan and the others again, Yuan Shu couldn't wait to pass by, and soon noticed her strangeness, Qing Wan sent other people out, and she was alone with Yuan Shu in the small hall, bringing tea over.

"Princess, why are your eyes red? But the imperial concubine..." This is the palace after all, and Qing Wan dare not speak too bluntly.

Yuan Shu shook her head lightly, drank a few sips of tea in a trance to calm herself down, and when her complexion turned around, she asked, "Where is the concubine mother? And brother Rui?"

"The concubine is probably still with the empress, but it is the son of the world. The slaves have not seen anyone, and even the prince does not know where it is."

Can't see anyone?Then the mother and concubine who are still in the middle palace will definitely not see the father and king, but what should I do about the marriage proposal?

Princess Yuan came to the small hall before the palace banquet. When she saw Yuan Shu, who was leaning against the window, she didn't say much, so she asked someone to straighten her attire and hair bun. Fang rubbed a little smile and led her Yuan Shu went to Wanhua Hall.

When passing by the imperial garden, they happened to meet the eldest princess and the eldest son-in-law, and they greeted each other and walked towards the main hall together.Concubine Yuan is very affectionate to the eldest princess who is also the daughter of Concubine Mu Gui, just because the eldest son-in-law is a member of Princess Yuan's family, so in terms of seniority, the eldest son-in-law still wants to call Princess Yuan "aunt "of.

Although the palace banquet tonight is not as grand as the New Year's Eve banquet, it is still extremely lively, but it's a pity that Yuan Shu couldn't get involved in the joyous laughter even though she was so focused on looking for Xiaorui.But after a lot of searching, let alone Xiao Rui, even her father and king have not seen anyone.She was inexplicably worried, but naturally she did not see Princess Yuan's complexion becoming more serious beside her.

On the contrary, Qingwan, who was sent out by her to inquire about the news, went back and forth several times, but she never asked where she was going.

"So do you know where Uncle Cheng is?"

Qing Wan shook her head in embarrassment and replied: "The military adviser is also missing, but the servants heard that some adults left by His Majesty are discussing matters, probably the prince and the others are also there." She guessed.
