Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen

"I do not care." "Shut up!" Concubine Qin sternly snapped, showing an irresistible momentum, "Go back and think about it for Ai's family. And Ai's family is not afraid to say a word. In this palace, as long as Ai's family says a word, the girl It is very likely that you will not see the sun of tomorrow. For her, you also have to think about it. If you are willing to marry Jiajia as the first Fujin, maybe the Ai family will agree with you to reserve a position for her as a side Fujin, otherwise, she will be the only one in the world for the rest of her life. It's a woman from this palace."

Ever since the poison in Yunbin's hands has not healed, her green head card has not been hung in the respect room.Because there were not many concubines in the palace, one concubine Wan was thrown into the cold palace, and another concubine Yun was left idle indefinitely because of her hands, so the concubines were very worried about the inheritance of the royal incense, so that after several concubines After looking at it, several beautiful girls with good family backgrounds were kept in succession for the emperor's personal selection. Among the women who were left behind were Fucha Mingyue, Xu Jia Xixiang, Dong Jia Huixin and others from the Upper Three Banners, as well as some decent women who were born in the Lower Five Banners.Those showgirls who were unsuccessful in the review really didn't have such good luck. Instead, they were those who postponed the round selection, and it was rare to follow them.

When Lian Xin was led to the Ciyin Building, the palace maid in charge of cleaning had already cleaned the stone tables and benches on the side of the red-painted corridor very clean.On the stone table are fresh fruits of the four seasons, especially mangoes, which are the most fragrant and mellow. Red awns, four seasons honey awns, Tianyang fragrant awns, big white jade...all are new tribute varieties outside the palace, pulled by mule carts, They were sent to the capital from thousands of miles away, so that no matter in spring, autumn, winter or summer, the concubines in the palace could eat fresh mangoes hidden in a small cellar.

Half a month ago, he was in this building, nervously and busy preparing for the sacrificial ceremony, and he also sneaked away from his busy schedule to wait for her in the imperial garden. Lianxin walks around the high-piled flower beds, and in the shade of a few clumps of warm trees, the quiet and dignified pavilion stands in front of her eyes.The servant girl who led the way only brought her to the threshold and did not go any further. Lian Xin stepped onto the second floor alone. On the top was a semi-open flower pavilion, supported by several corridor pillars. The scenery is all in sight.

Concubine Qin was sitting in front of the red sandalwood table carved with cloud and bamboo patterns, wearing a brocade skirt decorated with bright yellow and nine phoenix patterns, her gestures were full of grace and luxury.She was sitting upright, and there was no maidservant beside her, as if she was quietly watching the red walls, green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings in the distance. "My servant pays homage to the concubine." Lian Xin walked over and bowed humbly to the bright yellow figure. This was the first time she saw Concubine Qin—one of the women who had survived in the deep palace and laughed till now.People are old, and wrinkles are piled up on the face, but what can't be concealed is the calmness and elegance of the vicissitudes of life in the eyes, as if even if the Mount Tai collapses in front of them, they are still at peace.Living in a grand and luxurious harem like a large garden, among which a hundred flowers are blooming and blooming, colorful, can be preserved and enjoy the honor and glory, except that one's own cultivation has reached the pinnacle, and one can't have both virtue and virtue, blessing and wisdom.

It is very difficult for a woman in the palace to have the former, and it is even rarer to achieve the latter.When Lian Xin first arrived in front of her, she felt a majestic majesty of the royal family rushing towards her face. She had not heard the sound, but already felt the power.She couldn't help but gently clutched the corner of her skirt, her palms were slightly wet from sweat due to nervousness. When the servants came to report earlier, Lian Xin was already taken aback.Concubine Qin has the gift of nurturing the current emperor, and she is still honored as "Emperor's Mother", and has a very high status in the palace.It was unexpected to be summoned alone at this moment, and more importantly, she was his mother-in-law.

Hearing the voice of greeting behind him, the old woman in bright yellow palace attire returned her gaze lightly.The half-kneeling girl in front of her lowered her head lightly, and a few strands of black silk slid down her cheeks. Her skin was as white as snow, soft and greasy, and she had already shown a stunning appearance before she saw the whole picture.Dressed in a light lotus-colored floral flag dress with a ring around the waist, it outlines the frailty of the whole person, like a pure and elegant ice lotus, quietly blooming.She was born beautifully. "Stay flat—" Concubine Qin waved her hand slightly, "and raise your head."

At this time, all the sunlight was projected in, and it was so bright that it was a bit dazzling.Under the sun, the girl raised her eyes lightly, her cheeks were like jade, her black eyes were bright without spotting, and her sandalwood lips were not stained but vermilion.A pair of black jade-like pupils just pass by inadvertently, as if they contain a hidden meaning that is still waiting to be said, just one glance is enough to take people's hearts away. "You, this..." Concubine Qin was startled for a moment, as if she didn't see clearly, then she widened her eyes and looked at Lian Xin in disbelief.After a long time, he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Seventeenth insisted on sending her into the palace—it was so similar!Whether it's the outline, eyebrows, or figure, it's almost as if they were carved out of a mold.If it wasn't for the age difference, if he really thought it was the woman who had disappeared for many years, he would really stand in front of him.

"It's a crime, it's really a crime..." Dowager Qin shook her head with a wry smile, and spit out these words. Originally, she was still hesitant to disobey the old seventeen's wishes, after all, it was rare to like a girl, and she was willing to fight for it.But at the moment when he saw Lian Xin, all the unbearableness and hesitation in his heart disappeared in an instant. Concubine Qin's complexion sank, she pressed her hands together, and said gracefully: "Your name is Lian Xin?" "Reporting to the concubine, the maidservant's surname is Niu Hulu, and she is from the Yellow Banner." Lian Xin nodded very respectfully, with a thin accent.Listening to Concubine Qin's ears, she nodded and stretched out her hand to signal her to sit on the open chair.Where did Lian Xin dare to sit, she only took a few steps closer.

Concubine Qin paused for a moment, then said calmly: "The Ai family called you here today, because they want to tell you that the Seventeenth Prince is about to get married, and the Di Fujin who is about to enter the door is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion." Hulu Jiajia. Aijia knows that you and Jiajia are cousins, she will be happy soon, Aijia can give you a few days off, and go back to Zhongcui Palace to visit her." A few words, like a stone breaking the peaceful lake of heart——Fujin, wedding?He is about to get married, with the daughter of Shang Shufu... Lian Xin suddenly raised her eyes, her face suddenly turned snow-white.The rays of sunlight interlaced through the treetops seemed to dazzle her eyes, making her unable to see clearly what was in front of her.

A few days ago he came to Xinzheku to look for her, but he was going to marry another woman a few days later, how could that be possible? "The Ai family has also heard a little about your affairs. The old seventeen is young, promising and handsome, and it is normal to be admired by many girls. However, the Ai family knows him very well. He has always been the most polite, In terms of importance, the nobles of the royal family are golden branches and jade leaves, and marrying a wife as a lady of the family will not humiliate the status, otherwise it will only make outsiders laugh." After finishing her speech, Concubine Qin placed a round and plump pearl on the red sandalwood. On the case sheet, "He asked Aijia to pass it on to you. Come to think of it, you should be able to understand." Yingying pearls, shining a milky white halo on the table case, at that moment, there seemed to be the sound of something breaking—— "The selection of Fujin by the prince also needs to go through the clan mansion, and is designated by the emperor and the concubine... So, you still have to go to the palace to draft..." "In the future, when you enter the palace for a draft, Er Niang will pick you out..." The scene at the door of her house before entering the palace is still vivid in her memory. She still remembers that the moonlight was very faint that night, and his eyes were extraordinarily gentle under the moonlight.At that time, she ran into the house in a hurry to get the pearl, and made a promise to Baishou with him.It's so fast, did you break your promise... "Maidservant, can you take a look at the bead?" The faint voice suppressed some strong emotions that were about to come out. Concubine Qin waved her hand, indicating that she could take it. Lian Xin staggered a little, but her straight back revealed persistence and stubbornness.She picked up the bright white pearl on the table, and the feeling of the touch was cool and moist that she was all too familiar with.This is the treasure that she has worked so hard to pick in the river in early spring and March in the bitter cold.She once gave it to a man, and at the same time gave her own heart, a long, long time ago... "If there are some things that you know you can't do, you should let go. If you struggle hard, you will only hurt others and yourself." The fragrance of flowers from afar floats leisurely in the palace wall, spreading far away.Concubine Qin withdrew her gaze, with a trace of cruel pity on her face, as if she had seen through the world and no longer had any thoughts, "Since you have entered the palace gate, if you are willing to stay in the palace, Aijia will let you pass through the door." Whether you can win a bright future at that time depends on your chance and luck. But if you are not willing, Aijia will arrange a decent way for you to leave the palace and go home, and reward you with a well-matched marriage in the future. "After she finished speaking expressionlessly, at this moment, she didn't even give Lian Xin a chance. Lian Xin listened to each word in a trance, only heard its sound, and knew its meaning.When she realized that the bright yellow figure had raised her hand towards her, she bowed her body and saluted, obeying the etiquette and the rules, and then turned around and left. Why did she enter the palace?And why did it stay until now... The moment she stepped out of the threshold, the sun shone suddenly.As if she couldn't bear the glare of the light, Lian Xin closed her eyes slightly, turned her head, bit her lip and looked at the contiguous vermilion palace wall in the distance.The memories not long ago were opened in a brilliant flower light, and she always remembered that day and night, that handsome man held her tightly in his arms, and whispered in her ear softly, saying that she was his destined The people below, regardless of status, regardless of status... The news of the seventeenth prince's wedding spread like wildfire, and in an instant, all the beautiful women in Zhongcui Palace got the news.Niuhulu Jiajia was favored by Concubine Qin in the review, and then after several re-elections, he was finally pointed out to Prince Guo, who was hand-picked as the Seventeenth Fujin.The show girls who are still waiting to be selected are envious and jealous, they all say that they have been booked long ago, and Niuhulu Jiajia is just doing a formality in the palace, just waiting to be picked out and selected into the mansion. When the news reached Xin Zheku, Yushu was taken aback, and immediately dropped the wooden barrel in his hand and ran to Xiyuan. At this moment, Lian Xin was chopping firewood, holding the ax with difficulty in her small hands, knocking the firewood to the ground again and again.The tiger's mouth is numb, and the skin on the belly of the finger has been worn red and swollen.Lian Xin rubbed the back of her hands, picked up the hatchet again, and split another piece of firewood.Yushu ran up to her in a hurry, and told her what she had heard, but Lian Xin's expression remained the same, she was just silent, and with all her strength, she knocked on the firewood with all her strength, making a bang bang sound. "Lian Xin..." Yu Shu murmured to call her, but her eyes were red. Lian Xin raised her head in her weeping voice, but her face was full of confusion, like a barren mountain after snow, unable to find a trace of life. Yu Shu couldn't help feeling sad, and supported Lian Xin's shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't do this. Look at me and talk to me, okay..." After a long while, Lian Xin put down her axe, stretched out her hand to gently tuck her temples, a very light and shallow curve appeared on her lips, "Look at you, you are so focused on rushing here that even your hair is messed up." Seventeen She already knew that the prince was going to get married.This is a happy event in the palace, you should be happy... Yushu looked at her sadly. If she was still in the Zhongcui Palace, she would more or less know the details, unlike staying in this dirty and broken Xinzheku, where even the wrapped slaves would dare Bully them casually.With the current situation, even if the Seventeenth Prince is willing, Concubine Qin will not agree, right?Or did the Seventeenth Prince dislike such an identity and finally chose to give up? Yu Shu thought of this, tears welling in his eyes, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't offended Concubine Yun, you wouldn't have been forced to approach Concubine Wan just because you wanted to save me from the Fifth Bei... Now if we They are all the beautiful girls waiting to be selected in Zhongcui Palace, the prince will not marry Miss Jiajia..." Lian Xin lowered her head, and for a moment, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Staying in Zhongcui Palace, will everything be different?If you have the heart, why don't you even have an explanation?If she had no intention, even a thousand words would be in vain... She was trapped deep in the palace wall and could not escape.But what about him?Is it because you are busy with business and cannot get away, or do you simply want to avoid it and save a lot of talking? Pain in the heart one after another, very blunt and stuffy, like tens of thousands of knots in a double silk net, tense, and then torn apart, leaving only scattered silk threads floating in the wind.Lian Xin bit her lip, trying to hold back the wetness in her eyes, "Whether it's Zhongcui Palace or Xinzheku, we are the ones who fly the Five Banners..." "But the prince likes you, doesn't he? Even if he marries Miss Jiajia, he can still accept you." A wind blew up in the courtyard, blowing away the setting sun in the sky, leaving only a broken halo on the ground. Lian Xin froze suddenly, and the last thread that was stretched in the bottom of her heart broke with a snap—— "No matter how good it is, if you don't like it, it's still not comparable." "I always don't ask for more. If I get one I like, I won't look at others." His Qing Yun's voice was still in his ears, he didn't expect that when he turned around, it was so unbearable when he was really faced with a choice. With smoky white mist lingering in her eyes, Lian Xin bit her lip firmly, and two bloodstains were formed on her lips with white teeth.However, the crystal teardrops were like beads with a broken thread, silently sliding down the cheeks. I heard that you have two ideas, so you come to make a decision.But he owed her an explanation after all.Why?Why, after giving her such a good hope, did she destroy that hope with her own hands?If it means that tomorrow morning he has already decided to marry someone else, why bother to provoke her... He kept holding the pearl that he returned in his bosom, and could still feel the warmth and coldness through the thin fabric.Lian Xin held it tightly with her hands, until her nails got embedded in the fabric, broke off, and bled... The bright red blood seeped through the underwear and onto the pearls, like the red marks left by a brand. When Xixiang walked out of Xianfu Palace, it was just after Sishi.Originally, she was going to stay for lunch together, but the eunuch summoned the emperor to come sometime later, so she got up and said goodbye wisely, no matter how polite Wu Yingyun said to stay, she insisted on leaving. The slaves in the Xianfu Palace kept sending her back to the Zhongcui Palace in order to be seen by other beautiful girls. As a declaration, Xu Jia Xixiang not only passed the inspection, but also passed the inspection during the arrangement for entering the imperial palace. It is the people around Empress Yunpin, whoever is against her will have trouble with the entire Xianfu Palace.Aside from those who have already passed the reading, many of the show girls who are still waiting to be selected are very surprised by this——Xu Jia Xixiang is notoriously unpleasant in the Zhongcui Palace, with a domineering and aggressive temper. He didn't know how to flatter and please, so why did he suddenly climb up the high branch of Concubine Yun? However, after this, the road leading to the supreme rank and power seems to be in front of her. As long as she stretches out her hand to pick it up, the opportunity that others can't meet but can't ask for is in her pocket. thing. Feng Xiuchun obviously smelled something, and in the past two days, she frequently asked the old lady in the palace to teach her how to get into the emperor's bed and how to get into the bed.Xi Xiang was still a virgin girl, although she had learned some things at home before entering the palace, but at this time these old nuns were teaching some things that made her blush and heartbeat, which still made her so nervous that she couldn't sleep peacefully. In this way, at dusk three days later, the eunuch in the respect room suddenly came to call for Xu Jia Xixiang to attend the bed tonight. The eunuch in charge of delivering the decree was young, his name was Yan Fu, but he was an old man in the respect room. He was directly under the command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was the confidant of Su Peisheng, the chief servant in front of the palace.He just came to pass the decree, and then there will be dedicated palace servants to make careful preparations for her, and then the eunuch in the respect room will carry her in a sedan chair and send her to the bedroom of the Qianqing Palace. After Xi Xiang personally thanked him, he respectfully gave him an embroidered bag full of gold.Yan Fu held it in his hands and weighed it for a while, then a smile bloomed on his face, "Where did you say that, the slave is just passing on a word, the young master Xixiang is really too polite!" "My father-in-law is just a word, but it determines the beauty of others for a lifetime. The same is true for Shen, and the same is true for floating. Isn't it true that a word of gold and jade is worth a lot of money." Yan Fu looked at her with a pleasant smile, and the light flashed in his squinted eyes, "Master Xixiang is so transparent, and also has a natural beauty, and she is also so considerate to the servants, I think I have to do something big." of!" Xi Xiang became more humble. If it were someone else at this moment, her heart would already be beating like a drum, and she would be sitting anxiously in the courtyard, anxiously and anxiously waiting for the serving servants to come.It's not like her, she just accompanied Yan Fu and sent him out of the house in the end. At this moment, the sun was setting, and Xi Xiang was standing in front of the vermilion threshold, looking at the figure that was fading away from a distance. On the other side, there was already a procession approaching, and Xi Xiang couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face. On the third day of September, the palace issued an order: Zhong Cui Palace to be drafted, Xu Jia of Zhengbai Banner, Xixiang, beautiful and beautiful, sympathetic, reasonable, arrogant and respectful, and self-acting, hereby canonized as a nobleman, Take the word "qian". It is said that this decree was jointly guaranteed by several concubines, and even more favored and supported by Concubine Yun.It is very rare for Xu Jia Xixiang to be strongly recommended by all parties when she first entered the palace.And because she had a close relationship with Yunpin, she was specially promoted to move into Changchun Palace, one of the six east palaces, which happened to be separated from Xianfu Palace by a palace wall. It's like a sister. "Since my younger sister came here, it has saved me a lot of trouble." Wu Yingyun sat leisurely in the open chair, and in front of her was a pear wood carved square stone table with various fruit plates and oranges in it. The petals are opened one by one, like money, revealing the golden flesh, and the ripe aroma attracts body fluids.Wu Yingyun picked out a piece and put it in his mouth, it tasted sweet. Xi Xiang is currently sitting on the open chair on the other side doing needlework, the embroidery thread is drawn, the embroidery needles are flying up and down, the satin is decorated with butterflies wearing flowers, but it doesn't look like it is made for young women, the soft material texture Plain white is the snow satin specially prepared for young princes and daughters in the palace.Xi Xiang embroidered patterns on it, and after cutting it by herself, it was the outermost satin lining of the small palace dress. She also made brocade shoulders, small belts, and small embroidered shoes...Every stitch and thread were all made by herself. Naturally, the fine craftsmanship is slightly inferior, but at first glance, it is different from the costumes of other princes. "Where is your mother, I am idle anyway, so I might as well help my sister share some chores, so that my sister can take care of her body at ease." Xi Xiang finished without raising her head, bit the thread with her teeth, and tied a knot . Wu Yingyun glanced at her with a half-smile, "You take care of all the trivial things here, don't you have the heart to serve the emperor again! My sister is a newly promoted noble person and a new favourite, you must not lose the big because of a small one. Otherwise, it would be my fault!" Xi Xiang raised her head and smiled heartlessly at her, "I haven't seen the emperor since I went to bed, how can I call it a 'new favourite', my sister is embarrassing me! What's more My sister's hand has not healed yet, and it is very hard work to take care of the little princess. My sister can't repay you, so if you do some small things within your power, you won't be ashamed of your sister's care!" The satin she had just made was for the little princess.Now the little princess wears, uses, and all the fine and small items are all from her hands, but it is Wu Yingyun's name to the outside world.Concubine Qin knew about this, and praised Xianfu Palace even more, praising Wu Yingyun as a model of harem concubines who are virtuous and gentle. She was originally a troublesome little princess, but since then she has become a stepping stone for Wu Yingyun to gain a good name, and she doesn't have to worry about anything. She has a younger sister who came to her in vain to take care of her voluntarily. Why would she not do it? Xi Xiang put down the embroidered satin, and suddenly remembered something, "Ah", "It's a sin, I almost forgot to take the big girl to the Imperial Garden. After lunch, she likes to play there for a while, Then come back for an afternoon nap. Elder sister, I will take her there now!" After Xi Xiang finished speaking, she hurried to the side hall, put the embroidery needles in the basket and put them on the table.A maidservant went over to tidy it up for her, and then sent it to Changchun Palace along with the embroidery. Wu Yingyun looked at all this with a smile on her face, and thought of the one she had been close to in a trance, and couldn't help but secretly feel that a beauty without a brain seems to be better, she will never have her own wishes, and will always follow her own wishes do it. It is early autumn, and the wind is a little cold.Supported by her servants, Concubine Qin walked slowly in the imperial garden, followed by palace servants and nuns like stars and moons. At this time, the garden is full of fragrant flowers, only the golden chrysanthemums are in full bloom. Large clusters of golden flowers, one cluster after another, decorate the huge garden resplendently, and the soaring fragrance is breath-taking. Shengsheng took away Kazuki's spring and summer energy.Occasionally, there are different flowers, some are bright red, some are light pink, or some are light green, just like pearls and emeralds piled up in the railings, full of cuteness. "It's cool in the garden, servant girl, go get a big cloak for the master." At this time, the old servant girl who was serving beside her leaned back and said. Concubine Qin waved her hand at her, and said with a gentle smile: "Aijia's body is not that useless. Didn't Imperial Physician Zhao also say that at this time of autumn, the air is crisp and pleasant, so Aijia should come out and walk around more. Put on warm fur, and simply go back to the palace for the winter." The servants restrained themselves and obeyed the order.A group of people turned around Duixiu Mountain, and Wanchun Pavilion was in front of them. Concubine Qin took a deep breath of the fragrance of flowers mixed in the cool breeze, and immediately felt refreshed. . When he looked away, a small figure suddenly came into his eyes, "That's..." A little girl was sitting on the railing on the second floor of the Wanchun Pavilion, her feet were dangling, but her eyes were staring blankly at the front, motionless.Holding on to the railing with only one arm, it was precarious, as if it could fall down at any time. "Master, that's the little princess!" Seeing this, the servants wiped off their sweat.Although it is not high, if such a small child falls, even if he does not die, he will break half of his leg.Back then, Master Shuya's little princess was like that. "Big girl, the granddaughter of the Ai family! Isn't she being taken care of by Mrs. Wu of Xianfu Palace? How could she stay here alone? She's still climbing so high! Someone, hurry up and take her down!" Qin The concubine waved anxiously behind her, and the accompanying servants hurried over. At this time, from the other side of the Wanchun Pavilion, there was a sudden exclamation: "Big girl, why are you sitting there?" Xi Xiang was returning with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and when she walked to the bottom of the pavilion, she saw the small figure, she was so frightened that she even took off the plate, and ran up to the second floor in three steps and two steps, screaming. The position of the railing is a bit high, and I don't know how such a small child climbed up.Xi Xiang stretched her arms vigorously, barely able to catch the corner of the little princess's skirt.But she didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that the child would accidentally fall off the pavilion. "Be good, big girl, Auntie will carry you down!" The little princess didn't have any expression on her face, as if she didn't even see her, she dangled her chubby feet and murmured: "My mother, the big girl wants my mother..." At this time, the wind picked up, and it hurt a little on the face.Xi Xiang's nose soured, "Dear girl, my aunt just came to fetch osmanthus cakes. Don't you like sweet-scented osmanthus cakes the most? When the big girl finishes eating the osmanthus cakes, the aunt will take the big girl to see her. ,OK?" Only then did the little girl react, she turned her head, her big eyes filled with joy, "Really?" Xixiang held back her tears and nodded, "Since when did Auntie lie to the big girl? Be good, let Auntie carry you down." "En." The little princess smiled innocently, opened her arms towards Xixiang, leaned down, and threw herself into Xixiang's arms.Xi Xiang stepped on the flag shoes on the bottom of the flowerpot, her steps were already unsteady, the force of the impact made her stagger back a bit, and then she sat down hard on the ground.But she tightly held the little princess in her arms, not letting the little princess get bumped in the slightest. At this moment, the figure of Daoming Huang Gongzhuang came to him. "Mother... Taifei empress..." When Xixiang raised her head, she froze on the spot for a long time. It took a long time to remember to give her a bow, but she forgot the etiquette, so she turned around and knelt down on the ground. Concubine Qin had a sullen face, and signaled to her servants to help her up, "Isn't the little princess always being taken care of by Concubine Yun? Why did she follow Mrs. Qiangui to the Imperial Garden? You are still climbing so high. If there is a mistake, but you Can the little nobleman afford it?" She saw the scene just now, but she was more afraid.The eldest girl is the only granddaughter of the emperor, Er Niang was thrown into the cold palace, and she was placed in the Xianfu Palace, unexpectedly she was not properly taken care of. "The concubine, it's all the concubine's fault, it's none of Sister Yun's business. It's the concubine who sees the little princess is young and cute, and wants to take care of her, so she takes her here for a walk every day. Please don't blame the concubine. Sister Yun!" Concubine Qin's eyes drifted over her head, she was uncertain, "You mean, you bring big girls over to play every day?" Xixiang was terrified, took the little princess's hand, shivered her shoulders, but couldn't say a word, "Little princess, she left the side of her biological mother, it's very pitiful... she has to sit on a higher place every day. , said that she wanted to look at Eniang on the top, if the concubine sat with her, it would be fine, otherwise the little princess would not even eat or sleep. The concubine was very sad..." Concubine Qin looked at the little girl hiding behind Xixiang, and couldn't help sighing deeply.It was her intention to put Concubine Wan in the cold palace; it was her decision to hand over the little princess to Concubine Yun to be raised.From this point of view, she has been worrying about the draft all these days, and she has really failed to fulfill her responsibilities to the only granddaughter of the emperor. "I heard you speak clearly about the daily life of the little princess. You should be taking care of her these days..." Xi Xiang bit her lip, lowered her head cowardly, but dared not answer. Concubine Qin sighed again, and waved to the little princess, "Big girl, come to the imperial grandmother." The little hands were white and tender, as if they could be crushed anytime they were held in them.Such a fragile life, even though his status is noble, is helpless in the deep palace.Concubine Qin squinted her eyes, and couldn't help but think of the past many years ago, feeling a little sad. At this time, Xi Xiang plopped and knelt on the ground, "Mrs. Taifei, this concubine is bold, I beg you to forgive Sister Wanbi." Concubine Qin hugged the little princess and frowned at her, "You and Concubine Wan..." Xi Xiang clenched her teeth, her white teeth gritted out a bit of sadness, "I don't know each other with my sister Wanbi, and I have never seen her before. It's just that I have seen the little princess sad and sad, and I can't sleep well. , I can't eat, I feel really uncomfortable... I don't know what wrong Sister Wanpin has done, but the little princess is innocent, and she needs her mother to take care of her. I also ask the concubine to look after the little princess, Give Sister Wanpin a chance!" After she finished speaking, she kowtowed deeply. Concubine Qin looked at the girl on the ground without blinking.This is a concubine who has just entered the harem, and the Jin Dynasty is still short, so perhaps she can still maintain a kind heart, but such a pure heart is really rare. "You don't know what Concubine Wan has committed, so you dare to intercede for her, don't you know that you will harm yourself?" Concubine Qin looked at Xixiang with a half-smile on her face. Xu Jia Xixiang was taken aback, her cheeks were a little red, she didn't know whether it was from fright or nervousness.Hearing this, she knelt on the ground in panic, but didn't know what to say, "I... I don't know..." Concubine Qin's smile grew stronger, she looked away, took the little princess' hand and said, "Is it okay for the eldest girl to go to Shoukang Palace with the emperor's grandmother? The emperor's grandmother will not see the eldest girl for some time, and I miss her very much. " The child nodded ignorantly, but looked at Xixiang on the ground, and said in a childlike voice, "I want my aunt." Concubine Qin smiled and rubbed her little face, "Okay, whatever the big girl wants." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Xixiang indifferently, "Since the little princess has spoken, you can follow me." Right. As for your words, the Ai family will think carefully about it." Xi Xiang showed a shock of joy, and then kowtowed deeply, "Thank you, Empress Dowager!" In Xianfu Palace, the fruit on the table fell to the floor, and the carpet was full of broken porcelain.Wu Yingyun walked back and forth impatiently in the palace, staring at the servant girl who came to report the news, "What you said is true? Did you see with your own eyes that nobleman Qian and the little princess appeared in front of Concubine Qin?" ?” "It's absolutely true, the servant girl heard that the nobleman is still begging for mercy on behalf of the concubine Wan." Wu Yingyun's throat choked up, and she didn't recover from it for a long time.Is that cheap maid really clueless, or what?Bearing her affection, she turned around and spoke for Li Qingwan. Could it be that she and Li Qingwan have long been... A gloomy look flashed across Wu Yingyun's face, and he ordered with sideways eyes: "Clean up all the things in the palace, and then go to the Changchun Palace to invite the nobleman to come over, and just say I won't see you in two days, I miss her..." On the surface, he looks stupid and blunt, he can neither speak nor behave. Could it be that he is a master who pretends to be ignorant inside?She stayed in the palace for at least three or four years, but she wanted to see what kind of tricks this little hoof was playing. "Sister Yun, you are looking for me!" At this moment, Wu Yingyun was already sitting firmly on the big pear wood open chair. Behind the open chair was a large three-fold fan screen with red sandalwood carved landscape figures. The flag bun is elegant and luxurious, and the whole person seems to be shrouded in a bright moonlight, which makes people feel dwarfed by comparison. "Sit!" Wu Yingyun waved her hand, signaling to the girl who had just stepped into the palace gate. Xi Xiang didn't hide the admiration and envy in her eyes, then sat down briskly on her drooping hand, and said without knowing it: "What day is it today, my sister is dressed so beautifully, but she has to compare with other sisters in the palace I just embroidered a few small things in the hall, but I was in a hurry and forgot to bring them. I will ask my servants to bring them to my sister later. There is an embroidered pouch that also happens to be stone blue, and it just matches my sister's attire. "She finished talking like a treasure offering, probably feeling thirsty, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it without even smelling it.
