Xiao Jingyi was similar to him in that she was born as a concubine. What was worse than him was that he stood out and was established as the crown prince in his early years, but she had to endure hardships under the oppression of her brothers and sisters in her childhood.

Xiao Jingyi's perverse and indifferent temperament probably comes from this.

Ling Sheng had been looking forward to her leading Xiao Guan out of the name of the Xiao family, firstly pulling away from her and the Xiao family to protect her; secondly, taking it back to Xiao Guan and using his power to enter the royal family.

On the other hand, out of guilt and pity for Xiao Jingyi, she almost responded to every request.

It's just that, except if it's about the person he doesn't like.

The author has something to say: In the future, I will mark it in the title of catching bugs, so that everyone will click in without joy...

☆, past

A man dressed in a black robe walks through the long corridor with a woman dressed in ordinary clothes but with extraordinary temperament, looking for the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.The two had their own concerns, and on the way to the imperial garden, their minds were dull, and they didn't realize that it was boring at all.

·

Coincidentally.At that time, Sima Zi was in the stone pavilion with flying eaves in the imperial garden, looking indifferently across the bank of Yuhu Lake.

The woman wears a gold crown and a luxurious palace attire. Behind her stand two maidservants in plain clothes. They are indifferent and cold, as if they are willing to sink into the rustling autumn scenery.

Several muffled sounds piercing through the air in succession did not disturb the woman who was looking at her figure, but instead attracted the servants behind her to chatter and whisper.

Shaoqing, a servant rushed to the outside of the stone pavilion in a hurry with a whisk in his arms, full of inappropriate panic, "Ma'am, it's not good! The son-in-law and a general started fighting in the garden!"

According to Sima Zixijing's temperament, she didn't want to involve too much in the affairs of the palace. Even though she was the empress to the outside world, the queen mother was in charge of the overall situation. Moreover, she was a passerby with no title and had no intention of getting involved in the chaos of the harem, but ... Sima Zi changed her mind, and asked back: "How can there be foreign ministers in the palace?" She felt faintly uneasy.

The servant lowered his head, his voice was panicked and urgent, "But I don't know. Speaking of which, I saw it once today when I was fetching the book for the empress. The third-rank general's clothes should be the same person."

Nostalgic for the third-rank general of Shuge?Now that it's confirmed who it is, "Lead the way!" Sima Zi said as he stepped down the steps, bypassing the bowed man.The little maid bowed her head and trotted to keep up, and then the two maids walked steadily and fast.

·

Guided by the servant, Sima Zi walked quickly on the cobblestone path, and through the rockery and strange rocks, he saw the fighting situation in his eyes.

"Your Majesty?" the servant asked cautiously.

Sima Zi shook his head and remained silent.

The group stopped there, and couldn't help but turn their attention to the fight.

Xiao Jingyi was engrossed all the way until she turned into the round arched gate of the imperial garden, and suddenly heard a male voice full of ridicule and sarcasm, the words were so expressive that she couldn't help but clenched her fists and rushed forward regardless.

"General Mo is very good at martial arts, why don't you dance your sword at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet next month?" The man wearing a purple gold crown and a crimson brocade robe took a step back from the stalemate, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled speculatively.Seeing that the man was silent, and he just blocked and did not make any moves before, the man in brocade robe took an inch, dodged forward, and punched the man's old shoulder injury.

Gambling with sword dance may be a chance for low-level guards to show their faces, but for a third-rank general, gambling in public is a great insult.

Yi Mo gritted his teeth secretly, mixed the wound with the milk and swallowed it.He ignored the sarcasm and insults of the so-called noble son.She was born as a commoner and understood the truth that water benefits all things without fighting.

She understands, she can bear it, but some people can't bear it when they are angry.Xiao Jing followed the sound, put her hands on her sleeves, squeezed a piece of broken silver, and threw it from the air, hitting the man's wrist.

Shi Yan was in pain, his hands trembled, and he secretly cursed at the visitor for his yin injury, which hit his wrist directly, but when he turned his head to look over, the sternness in his eyes disappeared instantly, like a weak gentleman, he respectfully saluted, " The minister sees the imperial concubine."

"Xi..." Long after Xiao Jingyi appeared, Yi Mo approached suspiciously, and just stood at her angle to see the woman's coherent movement of throwing the hidden weapon impartially. Yi Mo stepped forward, surprised He is proficient in hidden weapon kung fu, and then wonders why this person rushed into the palace recklessly... Before Yi Mo could express his worries, he saw the mighty emperor's son-in-law showing a respectful look of "the eyes don't know Mount Tai", so that's it. Rooted in place with a dazed expression on his face.

"What did he say?" Yi Mo stared blankly at the woman in front of him, and murmured in disbelief.

"What?" Shi Yan deliberately told the truth and pretended to be genuinely astonished and innocent, "kindly" repeated: "General Mo, this is a noble concubine in front of you. Could it be that the general doesn't know her true face?"

Gui, concubine, mother, mother?Yi Mo silently recited these words in his heart like an unenlightened idiot, then his lips moved, and he fell into panic and helplessness.

"Mo..." Xiao Jingyi was secretly annoyed that she had appeared in front of her recklessly. At this moment, the truth was revealed, but she didn't care about all that, and approached her slowly.

Yi Mo froze on the spot, staring at her with messy eyes, and didn't move any more.

"Yi'er." A majestic male voice came from behind, Xiao Jingyi's heart sank, and her mind became clear in an instant.Ling Cheng strode forward, put his hands on the woman's shoulders, nodded and looked at her, his eyes were full of tenderness, "I'm still so playful after running around for days," he raised his head, looked around, as if there was no one else, and whispered to her kindly: "Brother-in-law Now that you are here, think that the imperial sister has returned to her bedroom or went to the mother's palace first, you have been looking forward to Chu'er's return to the palace all day, so go find her."

Xiao Jingyi faced him speechlessly, the sharp coldness in her eyes was undisguised.

Yi Mo came back to his senses belatedly, and knelt silently on the ground to pay respects to the emperor and concubine.Xiao Jingyi tilted her head and lowered her eyes, looking directly at her with her weak eyes.

With just that glance, Xiao Jingyi quickly turned her eyes away, knowing that staying here would definitely embarrass her even more, and besides, she herself did not want to appear in front of her with him, so she nodded sadly and left as Ling Cheng said.

Every step away from her was so difficult... Xiao Jingyi raised the corners of her heavy mouth, every step hurt, her warm blood gradually cooled.

Seeing each other honestly now is the sisterly relationship she has always hated in the past, no matter how hard it is to match.

·

Yi Mo froze and left as if fleeing.As a courtier, I should really be glad that the wise and great king did not attack her, a sinful courtier who had kept his favorite concubine privately in the mansion for many days.

Yi Mo's expression was numb, he wandered back to the house in a daze, retreated from everyone, and hid in a corner of the study alone.

Her beloved Emperor Jinkou learned the true identity of the person she loves and sisters accompanied day and night——Xiao Jingyi, the imperial concubine and head of the Xiao family.

She was not the only one who was shocked at the scene, but also the son-in-law who had a different heart.Shi Yan made a move against Yi Mo before confirming that Xiao Jingyi was the master of the Xiao family, and she was the one who hurt him and saved Yi Mo that night!

Subconsciously, Ling Cheng was very satisfied with their reaction, but on the surface, he gently exhorted him with some cutscenes such as "If you are an official in the same dynasty, harmony is the most important thing", then he generously let Yi Mo out of the palace, and laughed at Yan Yan Landlord Shi Yan went straight to the queen mother's palace.

Ling Sheng was so proud of his diary today that he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses at the family banquet—to reveal Xiao Jingyi's identity and tie her wholeheartedly by his side; to teach Shi Yan to make him more afraid; to push the Xiao family to the bright Above all, to balance the forces of several parties; the most important thing is to cut off the communication between the two of them.

Since he pointed out Xiao Jingyi's identity face to face, Yi Mo would not dare to pester her anymore, and the relationship between the two was broken.The young emperor's heart was brisk, his eyes were full of joy, and he talked a little more.

Sima Zi, who watched the whole scene in the imperial garden, left quietly after Yi Mo left.She didn't go directly to the Empress Dowager's palace for the banquet, instead she went back to the palace first and changed into a simple and elegant light-colored palace dress, just because the fantasy of that person's dressing up was annihilated.The matter of the Royal Garden has nothing to do with the Shen family, and has nothing to do with her calculations, but it has something to do with Yi Mo, and she tried her best to blend in and empathize with her.Glancing at Xiao Jingyi, who was indifferent to the chattering little princess, suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

It was really the same experience - the person who hid in his heart hurt the individual to the point of infinity.

·

Yi Mo's out-of-control appearance scared everyone in the mansion, and at the same time, it also terrified Xiao Ruoshui who was in the dark—she was sent by her palace master to look after the general's mansion.

Yi Mo locked the door tightly and isolated herself from the world. From noon to night, she closed the door for most of the day.Xiao Ruoshui had no choice but to find another way to sneak into the room to find out the news.

"General?" The room was pitch black. After getting used to it, Xiao Ruoshui suddenly opened his eyes and searched around. Following the sound of deep and shallow breathing, he touched Yi Mo in the corner of the bookshelf.

"General...?" No matter how she called, the man ignored him completely, and curled up in the corner with his knees hugged, showing little anger.

Xiao Ruoshui sighed and sat down nearby.

……

There was a long silence.

"You belong to her, what are you doing here? Do you want to replace her to watch over me?" In the silent room, Yi Mo suddenly spoke out, and the hoarse voice hit his ears adding a bit of coldness.
