He Linwan couldn't help but glance at Xue Wanqing.

Xue Wanqing's temperament is ethereal and dusty, and she is not as beautiful as a person in the world, even if she cares about others, she seems a little careless.

He Linwan pondered for a moment, and said truthfully: "He Zhen didn't come back before she went to change clothes, and I was a little worried about her." ”

Chunxiao's eyes couldn't help but widen when she heard this, she looked at He Linwan, and then at Xue Wanqing, thinking in her heart Why did her girl tell Miss Xue the truth? When did their relationship become so good?

Xue Wanqing was also stunned, she glanced at the direction of the queen and several palace concubines, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "The first time the queen has invited a show girl, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for you to go out to find someone." I have a good relationship with a palace person next to Niangniang, why don't I ask her to go to Wenzhen Hall to have a look?"

He Linwan's friendship with Xue Wanqing was just mediocre, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that she was really willing to help.

Xue Wanqing seemed to know what He Linwan thought, smiled and said: "I owe Miss He Si a favor for the previous change of room, even if we mortals are easily ungrateful, this grievance Bodhisattva helps us remember clearly, just think I want to do this cause and effect for myself." ”

He Linwan felt that Xue Wanqing seemed to have something to say, and suspected that she was too sensitive and suspicious. But the most important thing now is to find He Zhen, so He Linwan didn't say anything polite to Xue Wanqing, and thanked her very gratefully: "Then thank you Miss Xue." ”

Xue Wanqing didn't say anything more, just nodded, and then turned around and explained a few words to her maid, who bowed her head and walked away after listening to the order, she should have gone to find the palace person who was familiar with Xue Wanqing.

He Linwan didn't dare to rely on Xue Wanqing to help her find someone, she planned to wait for a while after the queen and the ladies of the palace had sat down, and then went to the clean room to contact Li Yu under the pretext.

The queen took a few palace concubines to sit on the upper seat, He Linwan saluted with everyone, the queen smiled and said a few words, and then ordered the palace people to serve wine and food.

He Linwan felt a sharp gaze shooting towards her, she knew that there was no one else who would look at her like this except Concubine De, so she didn't look up, pretending that she didn't notice.

But there were also people with keen minds who found that the atmosphere was wrong, and their eyes looked towards He Linwan's side, and the scene that was quite lively just now instantly became a lot quieter.

At this time, the queen turned her head to talk to Concubine De, breaking the somewhat stiff situation, and the queen asked, "The pure nobleman did not come?" I remember that she likes to be the most lively on weekdays. ”

Concubine De retracted her gaze, "The pure nobleman just sent someone to tell me that he caught a cold in the imperial garden before, and he was a little unwell. ”

The queen frowned, "Why are you so careless?

Concubine De had a little smile on her face, "The queen doesn't have to worry about it, Your Majesty has always felt sorry for her, and I heard that she was sick and went to visit." It's just that in this way, His Majesty will come out of her palace and will definitely go directly to Baoqing Tower, and she will not have time to come to the banquet of Niangniang. ”

The queen feasted on the show girl in the imperial garden, and it stands to reason that the emperor would also come to take a look, and it was good to go through the motions, which was considered to give the queen face, but now the people in this big garden, including the queen, ran to visit the pure concubine. When everyone heard this, they had a renewed understanding of the Divine Grace of the Pure Nobles.

The queen didn't seem to understand Concubine De's sarcastic words, and said in a calm tone: "Since Your Majesty has visited in the past, I am relieved." ”

At this time, I heard Concubine Xian say in a joking tone: "A pure noble person is also a blessed person, I remember that the only person who could make Your Majesty feel so distressed in the past was Concubine De's sister." ”

As soon as Concubine Xian's words fell, the smile on Concubine De's face paused.

Everyone present pretended to be nothing, drinking wine, eating snacks and snacks, but secretly pricked up their ears to listen to the words and words of the most noble women in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He Linwan couldn't help but glance at Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian has been very low-key in the palace all these years, and rarely clashes with Concubine De head-on, but now she is mocking Concubine De in public for being robbed of her favor by the people who brought her into the palace. The struggle in the harem has always been a reflection of the struggle in the court, so it can be seen that the battle between the five princes and the six princes can no longer maintain even the apparent peace.

Concubine De has never been a person who is willing to swallow her anger, and she was about to open her mouth to mock, but a maid hurriedly walked to Concubine De's side, leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.

Concubine De's face sank, and she was so angry that Concubine De smiled instead, and she threw the wine glass in her hand on the desk. The phoenix eyes lifted, and his tone mocked, "Very good, I want to see which family taught the person, and the means are so good." ”

He Linwan was looking for an opportunity to leave the table, and when she heard Concubine De's words, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

At this time, a young inner prison came over, and the inner prison was followed by a young girl who looked very regular, but her eyes were a little smart.

Chunxiao, who was about to pour wine for He Linwan, glanced up, his hand shook in fright, and the wine jug fell off from his hand.

He Linwan didn't look at it, his hand stretched out and caught the fallen wine jug steadily, and quietly put it back on the table, but his eyes stayed on the woman who followed the inner prison.

Even Xue Wanqing couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh" and looked at He Linwan.

Everyone present saw the inner eunuch and the girl, and the queen asked gently, "Didn't you follow Your Majesty on an errand today, but what happened?"

The inner eunuch must have been used by the emperor's side, and he saluted the queen with a smile and replied: "If you go back to the queen's mother, the girl of the He family got lost in the imperial garden, and the master told the slave to send her over." Now that the person has been delivered, the slave and maid will go to Baoqing Building to resume their lives. ”

The queen nodded, and the inner prison withdrew.

Xue Wanqing whispered to He Linwan on the side: "The one who sent the fourth girl back is serving in His Majesty's Chengqian Palace, and his master is Liu Quanyou, the eunuch with palm seals. ”

The other people present also recognized the identity of the inner prisoner, and countless meaningful eyes were on He Zhen, who was originally quite calm and panicked, and reacted that he had not yet saluted, and hurriedly saluted the queen and the palace concubines.

"Greetings to the Queen and all the ladies and gentlemen. ”

The queen raised her hand, "Get up." ”

As soon as He Zhen got up, he heard Concubine De's voice, and Concubine De's tone sounded quite kind.

"Come closer, let Hongu have a look. ”

He Zhen obediently moved a few steps and stood in front of Concubine De.

Concubine De sneered, as if she had lost her interest, "I thought it was a charming rose, but I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary yellow chrysanthemum." ”

He Zhen didn't seem to understand the ridicule in Concubine De's words, and said with a sincere flattery: "Thank you Niangniang for your praise, only Niangniang's outstanding appearance is worthy of a rose to compare." ”

When He Linwan heard this, he secretly screamed that it was not good.

Sure enough, Concubine De smiled and her eyes became cold, "What a bold man, he dared to curse this palace." ”

He Zhen looked at a loss, not knowing where she had said something wrong.
