  Chapter 88 Buying Flowers

  He Qingxiao saw the sneer on Xin You's lips, and paused.

  Xin You took a sip of tea.

  The tea was a little cold, but she couldn't suppress her anger: "So, today, you are forced to fill the harem?"

   Touching the helpless and helpless eyes of the other party, Xin You's heart shuddered, and she calmed down: "Cough, we are both women, and I feel a little angry after hearing that. Mr. He, continue to talk."

"In fact, it is difficult to know the specific inside information. I just heard that in the winter of the third year of Xingyuan, the empress saw the mother and son of the eldest prince, and thus discovered the daughters who were placed in Yiyuan today. Not long after, the empress brought a few The confidant quietly left the palace and never came back. It is said—”

   "What did you say?" Xin You secretly clenched her fists, trying to keep calm on her face.

   "It is said that the empress was still pregnant when she left the palace."

  He Qingxiao thought of Aunt Gui's anger and pity when she mentioned this.

  The queen's departure shocked the government and the public. I don't know how many people secretly laughed at the queen for not thinking about it in those years. He had heard such discussions when he was still young, until time slowly healed everything.

   "Because of the empress's departure, the emperor and his mother have been quite indifferent to the eldest prince and his son over the years. It wasn't until the first prince named Xiuwang that his mother and concubine were conferred the title of Concubine An."

   "Is that why the second prince, King Qing, is valued more?" Hearing that the reason why the eldest prince was neglected was related to his mother, Xin You didn't realize that that person had a deep affection for his mother.

   It's nothing more than looking for a vent.

  Is it because of the eldest prince's mother and son that Niangqin left? It was obviously because that person violated the white-headed agreement, broke the promise and broke the promise.

   "The second prince is only a few months younger than the first prince, and his harem has been taken care of by his mother and concubine Shu all these years."

   Originally, these words should not be said, but He Qingxiao has a premonition that if there is no more reminder, the girl in front of her will dare to do anything: "Because everything is going well, King Qing acts a little casually, Miss Kou tries to avoid him."

  Xin You nodded slightly, and asked in a curious tone: "What's your attitude towards the empress leaving?"

  He Qingxiao took a deep look at her.

  Xin You smiled: "I'm a little curious..."

   "In the few years since the empress left, she has searched on a large scale, but there has been no apparent search in these years."

  Xin You leaned forward slightly, not missing the expression of the person opposite: "Are you still paying attention in secret?"

He Qingxiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and silently opened the distance between the two: "The Jinlin guards stationed in various places will pay attention, but there has been no trace of the empress for many years, so it should be regarded as a marginalized task. As for the current attitude, Jun Xin Unpredictable, it's not something He can guess."

   That is to say, it is unknown whether the queen will make up for the debt or leave without saying goodbye in anger.

  Xin You raised the teacup: "Thank you, Mr. He, for telling me this."

  He Qingxiao naturally understood the meaning of serving tea to see off guests.

  Xin You sent He Qingxiao out of the bookstore.

  The sun is just right outside, there are little ladies selling chrysanthemums in bamboo baskets, and there are peddlers carrying poles and selling needles and thread.

  He Qingxiao stopped by the side of the road, and said what was in his heart: "Miss Kou, is there anything special about Guchangbo Mansion?"

  Xin You froze for a moment.

  The son of King Qing and Gu Changbo came to the bookstore on their own initiative, did He Qingxiao suspect it?

   This person wondered if it was too serious.

  He Qingxiao's next words made Xin You understand the reason: "If Miss Kou is hanging out, you can go to the lake or the street shop. There is no good scenery in Guchangbo Mansion."

  Xin You couldn't help but widen his eyes.

   Has been followed again!

  As if guessing what Xinyou was thinking, He Qingxiao coughed lightly and explained: "Recently, there was a case that had something to do with Guchangbo's mansion, and I accidentally noticed Miss Kou."

  Xin You was silent.

  He Qingxiao's place always seems to be not going well.

  Her silence made He Qingxiao hold back the edge of searching for the answer, and said softly: "Miss Kou, no matter what you are for, in short, your own safety is the most important thing."

   After he finished speaking, he strode into the endless crowd.

  Pedestrians came and went on the street, and soon the vermilion figure disappeared.

  Xin You pursed her lips and stood there for a long time.

   "Is sister buying flowers?" A clear female voice came.

  Xin You regained consciousness and looked at the girl who was carrying the bamboo basket.

  The bamboo basket is full of autumn chrysanthemums, red, pink, purple, yellow...

   "The newly picked autumn chrysanthemum is good for vases or for making chrysanthemum cakes. Do you want to buy a few?"

   "Oh, good." Xin You thought that she was not in the mood to play with flowers and plants, but looking at the basket of colorful flowers, she almost nodded her head.

  She directly bought a basket of chrysanthemums and carried them back to the bookstore.

  Liu Zhou saw his host come in with a basket of flowers, and blurted out: "Master He sent you a basket of flowers, these flowers are so beautiful."

   A whole basket!

  Xin You passed the flower basket with a blank expression: "I bought it. Pick some beautiful vases and put them in the study hall and reception room, and I'll take the rest back to the east courtyard."

   "Ah, yes." Liu Zhou wanted to slap himself in the mouth, took the flower basket and ran away in despair.

  When Xin You returned to the East Courtyard with half a basket of chrysanthemums, shopkeeper Hu grabbed Liu Zhou's ear and said, "You son of a bitch, if you talk poorly again, go to the printing shop to carry wood."

   "It hurts, it hurts, the shopkeeper let go!" The boy rubbed his ears, feeling aggrieved, "Who would have thought that they went out together..."

  Master He took a copy of "Painted Skin" for nothing, and didn't pay for it, and even asked the owner to pay for the flowers himself!

  Walking on the street, He Qingxiao also met a flower girl.

   "Sir, do you want to buy flowers? You can place them in vases, hairpins, or gift them to friends..."

  He Qingxiao, who seldom spends money outside, looked at the delicate chrysanthemums, and took out the copper coins.

   "Flower seller, fresh and delicate chrysanthemums—" the flower seller walked away with the flower basket.

  He Qingxiao looked at the chrysanthemum in his hand, it was not easy to take it back to the Yamen, so he simply went back to the Hou Mansion.

  Seeing He Qingxiao who came back with a chrysanthemum, Aunt Gui was shocked: "Master Hou, why are you back at this time?"

   "I bought a few chrysanthemums and brought them back without a place to put them. Please Aunt Gui find a vase to put the flowers in."

  Aunt Gui took the chrysanthemum and looked at the child who grew up.

   This child must have opened his mind!

   Which girl is it?

   Knowing that she couldn't ask, Aunt Gui walked away in a daze holding the chrysanthemum.

  On the first day of September, Xin You had to go back to the Shaoqing Mansion to deal with it, and it was time for the prince who was out of the palace to enter the palace to pay his respects.

   King Qing and King Xiu met at the gate of the palace.

  Compared to the radiant King Qing, King Xiu is much calmer. The environment he was neglected from childhood gave his brows and eyes a bit of depth.

   "Brother, what a coincidence." King Qing greeted casually.

   "Second brother."

  The two brothers didn't talk any more, and went to Qianqing Palace together.

   "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Xiu and Prince Qing are here."

  Emperor Xingyuan slightly raised his eyelids: "Let them in."

   Soon two teenagers walked in and saluted together: "Father, please be safe."

   "Exemption." Emperor Xingyuan's faint voice came.

  King Qing stood up straight, smiled and was about to say something when he was taken aback by Emperor Shangxing Yuan's face.

   I was a bit confused when I read the comments. What the hostess said to Yuzi earlier was that her father changed his mind after becoming a rich man. It means that after becoming the emperor, you can't be a couple, because you have never had children and secretly raised concubines. It was never mentioned in the previous article that the emperor already had wives and concubines! Empress Xin was his first wife. The emperor was still a poor boy when the two got married. It's just that heroes in troubled times have gradually become emperors. It doesn't mean that Empress Xin wanted to cultivate an emperor's husband from the beginning.
