"Oh?" Ning Rushong raised his eyebrows slightly, actually a little surprised.

He did not go through the Imperial Household Department but went directly to Xiaoguanzi's route. He is quite capable.

The slender and clean fingers moved slightly, and the tassels on the jade jar shook. Ning Rushong also gave a few names in his mind.

The Prince of the South is a straightforward person and would not beat around the bush when presenting a gift. He would probably just hand the gift to Ning Rushong and ask him to give it to Yueyue.

Then there is only one left, who has both the ability and the motivation.

"Call Xiao Guanzi to me." Ning Rusong's handsome face was calm and his fingers stopped moving.

Xiao Guanzi was explaining the matter of the Spring Banquet in the Imperial Garden at this time. When Xiao Yezi outside the warm room heard the news, he immediately ran to the Imperial Garden to report it.

The whisk in his hand was swaying back and forth, but he didn't feel anxious at all.

The master has been in front of His Majesty for so many years and has firmly established himself as the number one person beside him. Naturally, he knows His Majesty's taboos and will never violate them.

He Yue took the small jade jar back from Ning Rushong's hand, looked at the tangled tassels, and glanced at Ning Rushong lightly.

She had a pair of charming willow-shaped eyes, but her look was so clear and cool that Ning Rusong's heart was warmed by her.

Ning Rushong was silent for a moment, reached out to take the jade jar, quickly untied the tangled tassels, and placed it in front of He Yue.

Xiaobi, who was standing not far away, secretly glanced at this scene and felt a subtle sense of joy in her heart.

What is this called, using softness to overcome hardness, yes, using softness to overcome hardness! No matter how willful and cold Your Majesty is, he will always have to bow his head in front of the Empress!

Xiaobi lowered her head and couldn't help but smile, then raised her head again and looked into the emperor's narrow and cold eyes, which were careless and indifferent. Her mind was captured and her hands and feet froze instantly, unable to move!

Too terrifying, too sharp, like a sword dipped in frost!

"Bang!" Xiaobi's body tilted in panic and bumped into the antique shelf where the Doucai cloud-patterned porcelains were displayed!

The porcelain was shattered all over the floor. Xiao Bi knelt on the shards without caring. "I was panicked for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The blood from her legs seeped through her clothes. Xiaobi was still kowtowing. Sweat and blood stuck to her wounds. She was shaking with pain!

"Hui Qing!" He Yue was startled by the suddenness and hurried to get off the bed, with her voice slightly raised.

Hui Qing understood what he meant, and quickly walked to Xiao Bi's side, forcibly propped her up and put her aside, and scolded her first, "What are you yelling about, useless girl?!"

He Yue was about to get off the couch when Ning Rusong gently stopped her by wrapping his arms around her waist. He lowered his eyelashes and said softly, "Yueyue, there are still pieces of porcelain on the floor. I'll take you to the compartment first and ask the palace maids to clean it up."

He pronounced the words lightly at this moment, and his voice seemed to fade into the rain and fog, while his golden and jade-like face was calm and peaceful.

He Yue did not suspect Xiaobi's panic at this moment. Xiaobi has always been careless, and the antique shelf was really close to her.

He Yue rubbed his brows, his face a little tired. Didn't Xiaobi make a lot of progress before? Why did she suddenly return to her old ways?

I think Xiaobi’s leaving the palace can’t be delayed any longer!

"She is just a palace maid." Ning Rusong held He Yue's hand that was rubbing her forehead in his palm, and gently stroked her palm with his fingertips, "She is Yueyue's person, so Yueyue can make the decision herself."

There cannot be any rift between Yueyue and him, and he thinks he should be magnanimous and gentle.

If you can't deal with this stupid maid of the Duan family openly, then just send her away and don't let her get in the way.

He has been extremely magnanimous and has tolerated it time and time again.

He Yue lowered her eyes and thought, then was held in Ning Rushong's arms and taken to the compartment.

Huiqing took Xiaobi to her ear room to apply medicine. She half-knelt down and wiped the blood off with a wet towel, scolding Xiaobi in frustration, "Think carefully, how much trouble have you caused to the Empress since you entered the palace!"

"How many times has the Empress saved your life?"

Xiao Bi cried with lingering fear. The overwhelming power still seemed to hang in her heart. She couldn't help but tell Hui Qing, who was close to her, "It was His Majesty. It was His Majesty. He looked at me. It was so scary!"

"Shut up!" Hui Qing threw the handkerchief aside and rushed forward to cover Xiao Bi's mouth. "Walls have ears. Do you want to put my life in this?"

…………

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Guanzi ran out of the warm room, sweating profusely. He wiped it off casually, remaining in a disheveled state.

He walked in panting heavily, knelt down and saluted in one breath, "Your servant greets His Majesty, and the Queen!"

The maid's voice was timid, "Eunuch Guan, His Majesty and the Empress are in the east compartment."

Xiao Guanzi rushed to the east compartment without asking what happened.

This time, seeing that there were palace guards outside, he went in and knelt down to pay his respects, "Your servant greets His Majesty, and the Queen!"

In front of the long desk, He Yue was looking through the list of attendees for the banquet. Her eyes fell on Duan Zan's name and she was a little dazed. She couldn't help but stretch out her slender white finger and tap on it.

Ning Rusong called out to Xiao Guanzi at the right time, "Get up, I asked you to come here to ask about the jar of lip balm."

He Yue came back to her senses and looked up at Xiao Guanzi.

I'm not afraid of your majesty's questions. Presenting gifts in the aisle is a common occurrence in the palace. There is no pure water in the world, let alone in the imperial palace. Your majesty has always turned a blind eye to it.

"On the surface, it was Concubine Liu who asked me to present it to Her Majesty, saying that I had been disrespectful to Her Majesty in the past, and I hereby apologize." Xiao Guanzi bowed his waist and looked flattering. "But if you ask me, Concubine Liu couldn't think of this method, it was probably Duke Liu who came up with it."

When the Empress was still the Crown Princess, Concubine Liu was indeed disrespectful. At that time, Concubine Liu's personal maid relied on Concubine Liu's title and the dragon heir in her belly and did not take the maid in front of He Yue seriously.

But after all, this was just a dirty trick between servants, and the two masters had never confronted each other openly, so this was just a trivial past event, not worth making a big fuss about. So this apology was not about the past, but about the present.

Since Concubine Liu moved back to Duke Liu's mansion, she has been spending half a month a month riding horses and traveling in the wild. She can be considered to be in good health. How could she fall ill by such a coincidence?

She just didn't want to hold a banquet for the children of her former enemies. Concubine Liu had lost her children, but she had to watch their children get married with her own eyes. She must have felt sick, so she thought of a way to make herself sick to avoid this task!

Xiao Guanzi took out a brocade box from somewhere and presented it respectfully, "Look, seeing that the queen accepted the lip balm, Duke Liu asked me to present all the deeds of this shop!"

He Yue lowered her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at the brocade box held by Xiao Guanzi. She couldn't help but sigh, Duke Liu is so courageous!

There is not only one shop like this, but there are shops of this kind in the entire Dayun Dynasty. I didn't expect that it is owned by Duke Liu. As expected, it is a family of nobility for generations, and the foundation is profound.
