Xiaoxiao's tone was innocent: "That piece of jade is so beautiful. His Highness the Third Prince gave it to me."

She deliberately stopped talking and said no more.

Concubine Ji coughed lightly, and the nanny beside her hurriedly stepped forward to give her a pat on the back. Xiaoxiao seemed to be teasing the baby, but she kept paying attention out of the corner of her eye, so she did not miss what Concubine Ji and her nanny said softly, and then the nanny Grandma withdrew.

Not long after, the person who went to get the jade came back and said, "Please take a look at it, Princess."

Xiaoxiao opened the box and her eyes rested on the upper left corner of the jade pendant. She made a mark on the jade pendant given by Rong Yan, but this piece was completely translucent and white. She nodded: "Yes, this is it."

Xiaoxiao only stayed for a short while. Seeing that she had no other purpose, the queen and the princess continued to devote their energy to showing off the emperor's eldest grandson.

They didn't know that Concubine Ji, who said she was tired and wanted to take a rest, and Xiaoxiao, who claimed she hadn't slept well, met again, and the latter followed Concubine Ji to the same guest room very familiarly.

Concubine Ji remained calm and asked someone to get a few plates of snacks with a cold face, looking like "you can eat yours and don't bother me".

But at this time, Xiaoxiao discovered that the snacks brought by her grandma happened to be her favorite.

She became more confident in her guess.

The two of them probably had no communication. Concubine Ji was reading a book, and Xiaoxiao was holding a snack to eat. But suddenly, Concubine Ji felt a tremor in her arms, and the jade pendant that had been placed so well rolled down and stopped at Xiaoxiao's feet. .

Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "Eh? Isn't this the jade I just gave to the emperor's grandson?"

Concubine Ji's hands in her sleeves have been clenched, but her expression remains calm: "They are just random things bought in the market. There are a lot of similar ones. If you like them, I can give them to you."

Oh yo, she was anxious.

Urgently send the jade pendant back to Rong Yan.

Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "A gentleman doesn't take away people's love, and I don't want it."

Then he threw the things back to Concubine Ji.

The imperial concubine frowned, and then listened to Xiaoxiao.

"Anyway, I've already got what's hidden in this jade."

Concubine Ji finally spilled the tea in her hand: "What did you say?"

Xiaoxiao has long wanted to try the role of a bad guy, and now her fighting spirit is high. She imitates the appearance of the villain she saw in the TV series, leaning on the bookshelf with her arms folded: "Two days ago, one of my guards caught a spy."

"What a coincidence, you said, it happens to be the traitor Yun Yi that little brother Ayan has been searching for."

Concubine Ji's expression grew colder, and Xiaoxiao pretended to be invisible: "I originally wanted to hand him over to my little brother, but he said he could tell me a secret in exchange for his life."

In order to increase the credibility, Xiaoxiao deliberately held the jade pendant, found the convex part of the mechanism and pressed it gently. The jade pendant was divided into two pieces, and the middle was indeed empty.

"Does your Majesty also know this secret?"

Deep down in her heart, Concubine Ji didn't want to believe that Yun Yi would sell out for glory, but Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, I heard that this is a treasure map. If I give this to the prince..."

Concubine Ji's eyes suddenly turned cold: "That's Yan'er's thing! No one is allowed to touch it!"

"Yan'er" - this title, Rong Yan has been looking forward to it since he was a child, and he has also been disappointed since he was a child. He never expected to hear it from Concubine Ji at this moment.

Although his heart was surging, Rong Yan immediately saw Concubine Ji ordering people to block the door.

Something was really going to happen if he kept hiding any longer. According to what he and Xiaoxiao had agreed upon in advance, Rong Yan walked out from behind the bookshelf.

"stop."

He spoke somewhat unaccustomedly.

"Mother concubine."

Concubine Ji seemed to suddenly be unable to see or hear anything else.

The brain that thinks a lot every day seems to be at a loss.

Rong Yan sighed: "It's so hard for you to hide this from me."

Concubine Ji still wanted to hide it, but Xiaoxiao told her directly: "We have already been to the places marked on the map."

"There was only a pile of moldy food, rusty weapons, and a spiritual tablet without any words."

Concubine Ji felt like she was struck by lightning.

She wanted to tell herself that they had lied to her, but they even knew the spiritual position.

Her feet went soft, and Concubine Ji's nerves, which had been broken for more than ten years, seemed to be disconnected. Tears poured out like a floodgate: "How could this happen..."

So what is the purpose of all her years of hard work and forbearance?

Although the room was obviously full of Concubine Ji's confidants, Xiaoxiao still asked for some space for mother and son to be alone together.

Now that she had made it clear and honest, Mammy took the initiative and agreed to the request.

While the others were guarding the door, Mammy took Xiaoxiao to the kitchen to make some food for Concubine Ji.

After hearing this, the servants of the Prince's Mansion felt that Xiaoxiao was trying to please his future mother-in-law, but they had no other doubts.

She made a simple bowl of noodles here, and on the other side, Rong Yan took Concubine Ji to the double speed range left by Xiaoxiao and let her have a good sleep.

When she woke up, Concubine Ji felt as if a long time had passed. Rong Yan helped her stand up unskilledly and listened to what she said.

"You said Yun Yi confessed to you, but you also lied to me, right?"

Rong Yan nodded: "It is true that he was arrested, but he has kept silent so far."

Concubine Ji sighed: "Don't hurt him, he has never betrayed you."

Neither mother nor son knew what to say, and they felt like they were being amnesty when Xiaoxiao knocked on the door. Xiaoxiao looked at this and that, and reluctantly handed the chicken noodle soup to Rong Yan.

The latter was stunned for a while, then quickly placed the noodles in front of Concubine Ji and put down the bowls and chopsticks for her.

"Xiaoxiao's cooking skills are very good, mother...you can eat some first."

Mammy said that Concubine Ji had not eaten a grain of rice since last night. Rong Yan was puzzled. Seeing how awkward they were, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to go out on her own: "Is it because the food cooked by the cook is not to your liking? Why don't you tell me what you are doing?" Whatever you like to eat, I will make a recipe for you, and then just let the kitchen follow it."

Concubine Ji reflexively wanted to say no, but Xiaoxiao said, "You don't have to be polite to me. You've only met me a few times, didn't you remember my preferences?"

Concubine Ji raised her eyes to look at her - did she notice?

Xiaoxiao thinks that her little brother and mother's eyes are really beautiful, like black agate, with long eyelashes. I feel pity for the red mark at the corner of her eyes, and the slight frown between her eyebrows makes people feel pity for her.

No wonder the little brother is so good-looking, he turned out to be following Concubine Ji.

Xiaoxiao couldn't resist the beauty the most, so she raised her hand and took out a small jar from her sleeve.

"My little brother said you like spicy food, would you like some chili sauce?"

Rong Yan can't stand the taste, and his tolerance for spiciness and sourness is relatively weak. It's not that he hates it. For example, Xiaoxiao thinks that chili powder has no taste. Adding a spoonful of it to the whole bowl of noodle soup can make Rong Yan happy. Yan blushed and looked for water.

He once mentioned that he was completely opposite to his mother in this regard. His mother was from Shu and was almost always in love.

Mother's face was full of shock: "Princess, are you still carrying this with you?"

Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said: "Oh, my little brother asked me to take it with me. He said that the mother-in-law is actually not used to eating the food in the palace, just in case she needs it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Ji was holding back the tears she was desperately holding back.

"I, I'm sorry for you."
