Chapter 15 Growing Up
Concubine Xian hasn't recovered yet, when she heard that Shui Hanzhou was coming, she came out to pick him up herself.

As soon as I saw a person, I checked him up and down carefully.

"You kid, you were obviously just watching the trial, why did you get attacked? I don't know how to stay away. If something happens to you, what will our family do in the future?"

Concubine Xian was in pain and thrashing, making the water cold boat not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she hurriedly supported Concubine Xian's shoulder and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my brother is fine, but his hand was scratched by that person. After taking the medicine and bandaging it, it will be fine in a few days."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian immediately looked at Shui Hanzhou's hand again. Doctor Yu's bandaging skills were very precise, and it seemed that using an extra centimeter of cotton cloth would kill him.

Looking at the width of the cotton cloth now, Concubine Xian knew that Shui Hanzhou's injury should really be as he said, just a minor injury outside the skin.

Sui also finally relaxed his mind, pulled Shui Hanzhou aside and sat down, and asked carefully: "Is it really Li Siyi who did it?"

Shui Hanzhou held back his breath, and nodded slightly.

"She pleaded guilty last night, and the Dali Temple also found the venom of Manjusri from her room."

Concubine Xian looked shocked, but she still didn't believe it.

"But Li Siyi has always been a very good person, she doesn't bother to do such a thing."

Shui Hanzhou turned his head to look at his sister, hesitating in his heart whether to tell her his doubts, but she just recovered from a serious illness, her body has not yet recovered, and her face is still haggard, so think about it or forget it.

Concubine Xian is ten years older than him. Because she is the eldest daughter in the family, she shoulders the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings and setting an example in everything since she was a child. Until she entered the palace at the age of 16, she never had a relaxing day at home day.

Even after she was honored with divine favor and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor before the queen, she still couldn't live in peace, and now there are still people who put poison in her purse, trying to poison her.

Shui Hanzhou inevitably felt sorry for her.

If she finds out that there is something hidden about this matter, it will inevitably be another heartbreak, and it will not help her recover. It is better to wait for him to find out carefully, and then tell her when the truth is revealed.

So he put down the tea bowl, smiled and persuaded Concubine Xian: "Your Majesty, you know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart."

"Hey--"

Concubine Xian looked at Shui Hanzhou, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, subconsciously looking at the mottled window shadow on the ground.

"If that's the case, it's Bengong himself."

As Concubine Xian said, she put her hand on Shui Hanzhou's wrist subconsciously, and said helplessly: "You know that this palace has always been nostalgic. When I first entered the palace, the birthday gift that this palace prepared for the queen mother was secretly cut. At that time, Jiang Shangfu, who had just been promoted to Shangfu of the Shangfu Bureau of the Harem, helped me make up the flaws perfectly, and escaped this catastrophe."

Shui Hanzhou pulled his lower lip slightly, of course he will never forget this.

It was for this reason back then, when Jiang Rongxi, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Baozhu's tenth birthday party, asked her to leave the palace to attend the banquet, that's why Concubine Xian entrusted Duke Dingguo's mansion to give gifts to Jiang's family.

He went there with the butler, and it was the only time in his life that he wanted to tease a little girl, but he was beaten up by that girl, causing tears to flow down his face.

That was the only time he was beaten when he grew up.

And the little girl who beat him was Jiang Baoyu.

Seeing Shui Hanzhou nodding, Concubine Xian continued: "I admire Jiang Shangfu's talent very much, so I love Wu Jiwu, and I value the rest of the Jiang family very much.

With the same skills, I always feel that the Jiang family's work will look better.Perhaps it was because of this that Li Siyi was uncomfortable. "

"In the final analysis, it's all just the arrogance of the superior. If I could stick to my duty and be more sympathetic to the feelings of my subordinates, perhaps such a thing would not have happened."

Shui Hanzhou feels sorry for Concubine Xian's magnanimity. Everyone in the world only thinks that Concubine Xian is a good person, worthy of the words "virtuous and virtuous". Only people who are close to him know how much grievances have to be endured behind it.

But before he could say anything, Concubine Xian pressed his arm heavily, and continued to smile: "So let's end the poisoning of this palace here. This palace will go to intercede with the emperor, and only pursue Li The responsibility of one person, as for the others, let them go."

Shui Hanzhou wanted to say something, but the six-year-old eldest son of the emperor, Li Hong, suddenly ran in, threw himself into Concubine Xian's arms, and acted coquettishly.

"The mother and concubine are really biased. They can get out of bed and walk around. They didn't announce the baby to come to visit. Instead, they called uncle first."

Concubine Xian hadn't seen her son for a long time, and she was very doting on her right now, hugging her in her arms and asking warmly, "Where did the emperor come from? How did you know that I recovered?"

"Ms. Zhao told the boy that she came with the boy. If the boy runs faster, she should be here soon."

Men and women are different, as soon as Shui Hanzhou heard that the concubine Zhao Yunmo was coming, she immediately got up and said goodbye to the concubine Xian. The concubine Xian was upset by Li Hong at the moment, and she didn't keep Shui Hanzhou, letting him leave by herself.

Only when his figure disappeared in front of the door, he suppressed his smile and sighed to himself: "In the blink of an eye, our family Ah Zhou is also an adult."

Li Hong was puzzled, looked back, and said somewhat unconvinced: "What kind of adult is uncle? He is only 12 years old, and he was still grabbing Erchen's red bean cakes a few days ago, and the father didn't care about him. It's really pissed off." Minister."

Concubine Xian didn't speak, she just continued rubbing Li Hong's chubby face, waiting for her good sister Concubine De to arrive.

The direction of going out of the palace passed by the Imperial Clothing Bureau. When Shui Hanzhou passed by there, he subconsciously stopped and took a look inside.

Just in time for the little maid in the training center to finish her get out of class, she was in a hurry to have lunch and ran out in a mess.

Jiang Baoyu accidentally fell asleep, and was a little dazed when he was the last one to go out. When standing in front of the door and yawning, he suddenly saw Shui Hanzhou not far away who was watching her and laughing, but he didn't try to hide it After continuing to yawn, he walked towards Shui Hanzhou with his hands behind his back.

Looking up at Shui Hanzhou's face, he asked, "Do you usually enter the palace so frequently?"

When she first listened to the nunnery explaining the palace rules, she felt like she was listening to a book from heaven. She couldn't hold back her drowsiness, and fell asleep lying on the table with the words she had just copied. .

Shui Hanzhou couldn't help staring at the mark, wanted to laugh but was afraid that Jiang Baoyu would lose his temper, so he had to bite his lip from time to time.

"Well, I have studied with the emperor since I was a child, and I often come to the palace."

"That's it," Jiang Baoyu nodded, and the second half of the sentence was vague in his mouth, "If I knew this, I would have entered the palace earlier."

It's just that what she said was vague, Shui Hanzhou didn't hear clearly, and suddenly became serious, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Baoyu, Jiang Baoyu!"

Yu Hua stood at a long distance and called Jiang Baoyu's name. Seeing her turn around, she beckoned and said, "Hurry up, or you won't have dinner if it's late!"

When Jiang Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to say goodbye to Shui Hanzhou, and turned to leave, but was stopped by Shui Hanzhou.

He pulled her to a corner where no one could see, and before Jiang Baoyu could react, he held Jiang Baoyu's face with his hands and rubbed the words on her face...

 Jiang Baoyu: "I also like the red bean cake in Mingyue Tower."
