When Chao Lu and Shuang'er turned their heads, they were shocked to see that the person who came was actually the prince. They immediately got up from the stone chair and hurriedly bowed their knees to meet them.

Bai Yuxiao, lying softly on the embroidered chair, couldn't help but feel shocked. She put away her lazy and relaxed appearance, pretending to panic, and squatted down and bowed to the prince.

"My concubine sees the prince." She pressed her head very low, wondering why he came suddenly?

Si Liujing slowly walked up the steps of the pavilion, and finally stopped in front of Bai Yuxiao.

Staring at the black boots with embroidered gold, Bai Yuxiao felt a line of sight falling straight on her head, and she didn't know why this person suddenly came to Wutongyuan. Isn't he busy?

Si Liujing looked at the cold melon that was not much left on the table, and then looked at Bai Yuxiao.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Lord."

Chao Lu and Shuang'er stood behind Bai Yuxiao together, bowed their heads, dare not say a word, Bai Yuxiao was also a little nervous, I don't know when the prince came?She was so negligent, she didn't notice the breath of other people nearby, and didn't know how much he heard?What if he asks?Up to now, there is only one move.

Si Liujing looked at her playfully, suddenly reached out his hand to support her chin, turned her face to him, and looked at her carefully with sharp eyes.

Bai Yuxiao didn't expect him to do this, and couldn't help being a little shy.

Si Liujing wanted to take a closer look at this Bai Liangdi. For the little concubine in the back house, he could remember very few looks. Now it seems that her appearance is also good, although not the most outstanding, she is also beautiful. people.

After looking up and down for a while, he let go of his hand and sat down on the chair.

Bai Yuxiao greeted her eagerly."I don't know how the prince's arrival, the concubine was disappointed. Chaolu, cut all the winter melon, peeled and removed the seeds, Frost, and cleaned the table." She motioned to the two with her eyes.

The two maids got the order and immediately took action. Fortunately, most of the cold melons were eaten, and there were only a few left on the table. Otherwise, if the prince saw it, I would definitely wonder where so many cold melons were.

Bai Yuxiao waited on the side. The prince was sitting, and she stood, but Si Liujing suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her onto his lap to sit.

Why did he suddenly become so enthusiastic?She is now Bai Liangdi, not Shui'er. The man who hasn't been in her yard for two years suddenly drove over, shouldn't he... Did he see any clues?Bai Yuxiao didn't care about being shy, he was just suspicious and wary.

After Shuang'er cleaned up the stone table quickly, Chaolu sent a plate of cut melons, and then Shuang'er and Shuang'er stepped aside, bowing their heads respectfully.

Bai Yuxiao said calmly and softly: "It's rare for the prince to come to the maid's concubine, let her be pleasantly surprised." He said that he held the jade plate with both hands and brought it to Si Liujing.

"Lord, please use cold melon, it's hot, go to the heat."

Si Liujing stared at her shy face, jokingly: "Do you want to use winter melon to buy this king?"

At this time, Bai Yuxiao had calmed down, but his face still lowered his head in fear, and answered in a low voice.

"That's just a joke, please don't blame the prince."

Seeing her cringe so much, even though she is so different from Shuier's temperament, but she can be pretended, he still wonders how this voice resembles Shuier?

"Your voice is very familiar, where does the king seem to have heard it?"

The blushing face lifted up, looking at him blankly, her watery eyes were blurred, as if she didn't know how to answer his question, and after a while, she spoke in a low voice."It is an honor for the maidservant to have similar voices with people who know him well."

The voices are similar, but the tone of speech is completely different, and there is no expression of guilty conscience on her face, Si Liujing thought, is it just similar?

"Feed me," he ordered suddenly.

The person in his arms heard this, and immediately picked up a piece of cold melon carefully and handed it to his mouth.

Si Liujing opened his mouth and ate the cold melon, which was sweet and juicy, which really relieved the heat.

She fed him awkwardly, and her hands were still trembling. She seemed to be in awe of him from the bottom of her heart, her face flushed with shame, and her bright eyes couldn't hide her excitement. While feeding him awkwardly, she wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. The movements are very awkward, of course, these are deliberately pretended by her.

And Si Liujing would suddenly hug her and sit on her lap on a whim, just to feel, is the feeling of being held up like water?

Recalling what she had said with the two maids, she was so eloquent, but unexpectedly he became so timid after seeing him. Although he doubted her, he couldn't find anything suspicious for a while.

When he asked, she answered. He didn't ask, and she sat quietly and quietly. After a long time, he suddenly felt very boring. After eating cold melon and chatting with her for a few words, he left.

The master and servants finally breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Yuxiao immediately ordered Chaolu and Shuang'er to dispose of the remaining cold melon.

After Si Liujing returned to the study in the front yard, he still had doubts in his heart. Once he became suspicious, he was bound to find out clearly, so he ordered Concubine Lan to be found.

Concubine Lan's rank is the highest among all the concubines. She is temporarily in charge of the house affairs. When she heard that the maid in charge said that the prince sent someone to summon her over, she smiled with joy, and the little deer clashed.

The prince seldom enters the backyard. It’s really not easy to see him. Now the prince thinks of her, and still tells her to go to the study day by day. It is worthwhile for her to dress herself up every day for this opportunity to show her face. Busily standing in front of the bronze mirror, checking his makeup, putting on the embroidered shoes, he held the hand of the close-fitting maid, Lu Fei, and went to the study with the maid.

"Congratulations Niangniang, the prince is diligent in government affairs during the day, but he sent someone to find Niangniang. I must miss Niangniang." Lu Fei whispered in her ear.

"Don't talk nonsense, the prince probably has something to order." Although Concubine Lan said lightly, her ruddy face could not conceal the spring.

A while ago, the prince entered the rooms of Liu Ji, Xie Ji and Zhang Ji for a few days, but did not see her. She is the highest-ranking concubine in this backyard. He was looking forward to the prince to see her, but he could not wait. It made her extremely disappointed. She couldn't sleep for several days and nights, especially when she saw the proud faces of Liu Ji's women, she was itchy with hatred.

Now the prince specially summons her, is it because she wants her to wait on her side?Thinking of this, Concubine Lan was indescribably excited.

When he came to the prince’s study, Xiaoyu asked her to enter after passing the pass. After entering the door, he saw the mighty and handsome prince. Concubine Lan bowed her knees to the prince in the most graceful and charming manner.

"The concubine visits the prince." Her voice was soft and soft like a yellow oriole.

"Okay, you don't need to be polite. This king has something to ask you, is Liu Ji the only one who didn't get the melons that were distributed yesterday?"

Concubine Lan was shocked when she heard this. How could the prince know this?This backyard matter, if she doesn’t pass the story, the prince usually doesn’t care about it. Then Liu Ji was suppressed by her crying about not eating the melon. This woman deliberately wanted the prince to know that she was wronged, but Concubine Lan Shu is not as good as she intended, wanting to use this trivial matter of sesame garlic peel to attract the Prince's attention?There are no doors!

But now that the prince asked her personally about this matter, her heart was immediately alert, could it be possible that Liu Ji used any means to complain to the prince, and actually let the prince personally intervene?

"This king is asking you something, why didn't you answer?" Si Liujing scowled.

Concubine Lan returned to her senses and hurriedly responded."In response to the prince, there is such a thing, it is like this -" Concubine Lan probably said the cause and effect, and then explained: "Because it is a trivial matter, the concubine body dare not disturb the prince, so the concubine body Self-determined, and let someone make a Nanhai bird’s nest to compensate Liu Ji.” This bird’s nest is also a valuable thing. Using bird’s nest instead of winter melon, Liu Ji has earned it.

Si Liujing didn't care about these thoughts of the back house woman, nor did he care if Liu Ji suffered a loss. He just wanted to make sure that there was such a thing, and then he asked: "Bai Liangdi lives in Wutongyuan, right? Take her family background. Let’s hear the background."

The topic suddenly turned to Bai Liangdi, who was completely unrelated, and Concubine Lan was startled again. Why did the prince suddenly care about the back house today?However, under Si Liujing's stern and displeased gaze, she hurriedly responded respectfully.

"Bai Liangdi's boudoir name is Bai Yuxiao, her father is the Royal Palace Long History, and her mother has died. She is the only daughter who entered the mansion at the age of eighteen and sixteen." The concubine's wealth background is of course very clear. What follows is nothing more than trivial matters such as who is in her father's clan and who is in her mother's clan.

Si Liujing listened to a general idea, and then asked: "Which palace's long history is her father?"

Concubine Lan was stunned, knowing that she had not said clearly enough, she quickly added: "Go back to the prince, it's in our house, her father's name is Bai Hao."

It was only then that Si Liujing realized that Bai Liangdi was the daughter of his own subordinates, but Si Liujing didn’t remember how he put her into the mansion as a concubine, and who had too many concubines in the mansion. The reasons were so varied that he couldn't remember them all.

"Okay, this king is finished asking, let's go back." He waved his hand.

Concubine Lan was stunned. She came with hope. Who knows that the prince sent her back after asking her questions and taught her how to be willing?Seeing her motionless, Si Liujing asked in confusion——

"What else?"

Concubine Lan gathered up the courage and stepped forward and said in a warm voice: "The prince is busy with government affairs, and the concubine is willing to wait in the study to pour water and ink for the prince..." Before she finished speaking, she received the prince's elite eyes and the words behind her. Immediately stuck in her throat, she lowered her head and never dared to speak again.

"Is there no one to serve me? Knowing that the king is busy with government affairs, he will go back to the backyard and stay in peace. As long as you are in peace, the cost of food and clothing will not wrong you."

"Yes..." Concubine Lan's heart was cold, and she was extremely disappointed, but she didn't dare not obey, so she had to leave the study room after being blessed.

After Concubine Lan left, Si Liujing pondered in the study. It turned out that this Bai Liangdi’s father Bai Hao was in charge of the affairs of the palace... Then he ordered someone to call the general manager for questioning, wanting to know about Bai Hao. How do people behave in the mansion?

General Manager Liu Changqing heard the prince asked about Bai Hao, and answered the truth according to the facts, but was curious, what did Bai Hao do to make the prince investigate him like this?This Bai Hao worked seriously in the palace on weekdays and guarded himself calmly. Could it be that he had some fault and was sued before the prince?

"Do you know why this king accepted his daughter into the mansion?"

After thinking for a while, General Manager Liu responded respectfully."In response to the prince, when the prince went out of the house two years ago, he met Bai Hao on the street of the east gate and came to cry and begged the prince to save his daughter, because his daughter offended the son of the old man, and the other party wanted to kill him. After Miss Jia took it, the prince personally took the initiative. Although later Gao Gongzi didn't dare to make trouble for the prince's face, the prince guessed that Gao Ge would find an opportunity to embarrass Bai Hao's father and daughter afterwards, so he directly closed the house."

After listening to Si Liujing, it seemed that there was something like this. It was only two years later that he had forgotten it, and then he asked Bai Yuxiao the reason why he offended the old son of Gao Ge. It turned out that it was the son of Gao at the time. Mocking a girl, she just happened to be seen by the white girl, she stepped forward and interfered unconvinced, but the other party accused her of false accusations, hampering his reputation and wanted her to be sentenced.

Si Liujing heard about the deeds of Gao Ge's old son from time to time.Gao Ge got a son in his old age, and he was very fond of this son. Although his son bullied others, he didn't let anyone catch him. Coupled with the high power of Gao Ge's old position, the central government officials had to open one eye and close one eye. .

Si Liujing thought about Bai Yuxiao, a 16-year-old girl, who dared to stand up for other women in front of everyone. This made him quite admired. It is no wonder that he had a whim at the time, in order to keep their father and daughter safe. Accepting her as a concubine, with this relationship, even if Elder Gao knew it, he would not dare to do anything to the concubine in the palace.

Although Si Liujing took her into the house, it was impossible to give her too high a position, so he named her a Liangdi and placed it in the backyard for two years.

After understanding the ins and outs of Bai Yuxiao this woman, Si Liujing was not satisfied, because there was nothing in common between her and Shui'er.When a woman enters the palace, it means she must stay in the backyard all her life and cannot leave the palace casually, but Shui'er stayed outside with him for a month.

Si Liujing thought left and right. He felt that Bai Yuxiao could not be Shuei. It should just sound alike. He had thought this matter was just set aside, but somehow, this heart always feels unwilling, and always feels that there is more The need for scrutiny.

The question is how to check?He didn't know anything about Shui'er, the only thing he was familiar with was the curve of her body... Thinking of this, Si Liujing made a decision. That night, without any prior notice, he suddenly came to Wutongyuan.
