There is a reason for Luoyun to think so.

There was a new snowfall just a few days ago. Luoyun and Han Yao, who had entered the palace, were eating cakes in the Nuan Pavilion in the Imperial Garden and admiring the falling snowflakes outside the Nuan Pavilion.

At this time, Han Xiao also came. Ever since he was embarrassed by Miss Zheng, Han Xiao also knew that his poems were poor. Thinking about how much flattery others had given him at previous banquets, he became a little reluctant to go out of the palace to meet people, and needed some time to repair his damaged self-esteem.

Now, even in the face of a completely new white landscape, Han Xiao, who used to be so elegant in the past, had no poetry to express. He just complained that the palace servants did not clear the snow in time, causing him to almost fall down.

Seeing his dejected look, Han Yao said jokingly: "You are about to get married, why have you become so vulgar? When it snowed before, you always had to chant for half a day. After you got married, you and your siblings went out to establish a mansion, and the two of them chanted poems against each other. They really are a couple of gods and immortals!"

Han Xiao rolled his eyes so hard that he almost fell out of his eyes: "How dare I use an ax in front of the granddaughter of a great scholar? Don't let her use her grandfather's pen to embarrass me."

As soon as these words came out, Han Yao was amused and laughed.

Han Xiao was enjoying the snow and drinking tea with his sister-in-law and sister. When he wanted to get another cup of tea, Huai Xia went around to refill it for him.

This was nothing, but Han Xiao looked down at the tea and said to Huaixia: "You are the most considerate. If I had known better, I wouldn't have let you go to my brother's hospital."

Huai Xia blushed when she heard this, glanced at the Crown Princess secretly, and quickly retreated.

Luoyun remained calm on the surface, but he took a look at Han Xiao's tea cup and found a sweet plum in it.

It turns out that Han Xiao drinks tea but cannot tolerate the astringent taste of tea, and likes to put some plums in it. This is only known by the maid who serves him closely.

There is a reason why Huaixia can do this.Later, Luo Yunxian asked Ji Qiu and found out that Huai Xia was originally a maid in Han Xiao's courtyard before following the prince to the capital.

It's just that when the prince came to Beijing at that time, Princess Zong, as the mistress, always had to choose some maids to be close to her eldest son. They couldn't be too young. After all, Han Linfeng was already so old, so when he entered the capital, he had to have some maids to marry him.

In addition, Huai Xia was a strangely handsome girl. Princess Zong was also afraid that she would delay Han Xiao's studies, so she assigned Hua Xia to Han Linfeng.

At first, these girls were very happy. After all, the prince was handsome and had a refined temperament. It would not be bad to become his concubine or half master.

It's a pity that no matter how much he spends his time outside, he doesn't even look at the girls in his house when he comes back.

Huai Xia had complained to Ji Qiu and the others before. If he had known this, he might as well have continued to follow the second young master.

After all, Huaixia was quite popular with Han Xiao in the past.Then Su Luoyun entered the mansion, and they were assigned to serve the Crown Princess again.

Hearing this, Su Luoyun suddenly realized that Huaixia had such a connection with the second prince. No wonder she knew the second prince's habit and added plums to his tea.

Several times after that, Luo Yun discovered that Huai Xia was somewhat attracted to the second prince.

Even if Han Xiao was his old master, when she was in Liangzhou Mansion, she had never seen Huai Xia show kindness to Han Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is very simple.In the past, in Liangzhou Mansion, even if Han Xiao married a wife and took a concubine, he still had to live in front of the Zong family. Princess Zong did not like her when she was pregnant with summer, and the princess did not allow her servants to lead her young son into mischief, so she naturally had to avoid it.

But now, the father-in-law came to Beijing and became the emperor, and Han Xiao suddenly became a prince. After getting married, he would go out to establish a palace and become a king himself. If he could become the prince's concubine, wouldn't it be better than marrying an ordinary person?

What's more, now Han Xiao is quite critical of his unmarried fiancée, and Miss Zheng is a woman who has read a lot of poetry and books, so she can't do anything to get her to marry her.If I could stay with the second prince again, it would really be better than leaving the palace.

After figuring out Huai Xia's little thoughts, Luo Yun felt that she should be dismissed first.

My brother-in-law is not married yet, but he has already made an engagement.

If at this juncture Huaixia becomes Han Xiao's first wife, when Miss Zheng gets married and finds out that Xia has left the East Palace, even if she doesn't say it to her face, she will have a misunderstanding and think that her brother-in-law is inserting someone into her brother's room.

In addition, Xiangxiang and Jiqiu were also at the age to get married, so Luoyun simply talked to them together and arranged their futures for these girls.

But she also saw the reactions of these three eldest girls when they heard that she wanted to arrange their marriages.

Vanilla is the sadness of not giving up the love of master and servant, sending autumn is secretly joyful, but embracing summer is filled with endless regret.

Luoyun saw Huaixia's reaction in his eyes and knew that his previous suspicions were not overthinking.

Afterwards, she took advantage of the other two girls to go out and specially nodded to Huai Xia: "Although the second prince lives in the palace like us, in a few days, he will get married to a girl from the Zheng family. I see that you have been running to the second prince's palace for nothing these days. Are there any familiar maids there?"

Although she asked in a calm tone, Huai Xia knew that the princess she was serving had a clear mind. When she was blind before, she had a clear mind, and now she couldn't hide it from her.

So Huai Xia decided to talk to the Crown Princess herself before she betrothed her. Maybe the master would be soft-hearted and grant her permission!

Thinking of this, she knelt down and said: "Princess! I admire the talent and learning of the second prince wholeheartedly. If you want to change the people who serve around you, please reward the slave to the second prince. I used to be in the second prince's courtyard. The second prince is a good person and shows pity to the slave. I am used to living in the palace and don't want to leave the palace to marry!"

Luo Yun said in a calm tone: "If you had said such words in Liangzhou, as long as the second prince and the queen mother agree, I will let you go immediately. But now, this is in the palace, and the second prince is the one who is engaged. Why should I, a sister-in-law, rush to my brother-in-law's room before the wedding?"

Huai Xia bit her lip and whispered: "...If the second prince comes to beg you now, can I pass?"

Luo Yun thought about how Huai Xia always had a springy look on her face and secretly smiled in the past few days, and she knew in her heart that she must have something to do with Lao Er.

Again, if they were in love when they were in Liangzhou, it could be explained by the fact that they were in love.

But now in the palace where the rules are stricter, Huai Xia went against the rules and came like this, obviously with speculative intentions.

Now that her words have come to this point, Huai Xia still persists in her obsession and wants to use the master-servant relationship of the past two years to pave the way for her future. Luo Yun feels that there is no need to save any face for her.

So she said calmly: "I have no control over the affairs of the Second Emperor's palace, but I will present your matter to His Majesty and the Queen, and let the Second Saint make a decision."

When Huaixia heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted urgently: "Princess, you must not! If you had said that...then this slave would have no way to survive!"

Luo Yun's eyes turned slightly cold: "You also know that it's wrong, but you want to support me to stand up for you. Huai Xia, you have been by my side for so long, and I didn't realize that you still have such big thoughts!"
