When they entered the side hall, He Zhen hurriedly withdrew all the people who were waiting, and only the four of them were left in the room.

The side hall where He Zhen lives is very magnificently arranged, as Cuiping said before, from furniture, utensils to ornaments, all are treasures. Qin Shi glanced at it and knew that He Zhen was really favored in the palace now, and his expression showed a little satisfaction.

Cao Shi pulled He Zhen and asked her about her daily life, He Zhen happily replied, and said to Cao: "Mother, don't worry about me, I am very good in the palace, Your Majesty treats me well, the queen mother and the virtuous concubine also take great care of me, I haven't encountered the slightest bad thing." But mother, why do you look like you've lost weight?"

Cao Shi paused, and was trying to find a suitable reason for his emaciation and emaciation, but he heard He Zhen say with a look of understanding: "I know, my mother must think about me, right?"

Qin interjected on the side: "Knowing that your mother is worried about you at home, you are fine in the palace, if there is anything you can't solve by yourself, go to the queen mother and the virtuous concubine to make the decision, don't take it yourself." I watched your two maids act today, Cuiping is calm and moderate, and the rules are excellent, you can rely on her more in the future. As for the painting screen, her temperament is a little impetuous, and she must not be entrusted with major matters, let her experience first. ”

He Zhen couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "What big deal can I have here?"

Qin's brows furrowed, "What are you muttering?"

There are no outsiders here, and the Qin family does not care about etiquette, and once again has the dignity of being a grandmother.

He Zhen was still a little afraid of her, and hurriedly said: "I know, I know, I know that big things rely on Cuiping, just let the painting screen take care of some small things." ”

The Qin family wanted to explain a few more words, but Cuiping reported outside: "Niangniang, Concubine Xian Niangniang sent someone to invite Madame to sit in Qingxi Palace." ”

He Zhen looked at the Qin family.

Qin Shidao's expression was not surprised, as if he knew that Concubine Xian would have such an invitation, and said to He Zhen: "Since Concubine Xian Niangniang is invited, I will go over to ask Niangniang to say goodbye." ”

Cao Shi looked at Qin Shi and stopped talking, Qin Shi said to her coldly: "You don't have to go with me, Zhen'er misses you tightly, you stay and talk to her." ”

Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and He Zhen also showed joy.

Qin looked at He Linwan again, and said in a kind tone: "Ah Wan accompanied me to see Concubine Xian,"

He Linwan was surprised to learn that she was also summoned to the palace, He Zhen didn't have a reason to see her, seeing that He Zhen only cared about talking to the Cao family and getting close to He Linwan, she knew that letting her come to see He Zhen should be just a pretense, and the person who really wanted to see her was afraid that it was Concubine Xian.

Hearing Qin's words, He Linwan nodded meekly, "Okay, Grandmother Uncle." ”

He Zhen asked puzzledly: "Why did grandmother take the eldest sister there? The eldest sister is not familiar with Concubine Xian, and she can't interject when you chat." ”

Qin glanced at He Zhen, took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "Your mother has not thought about tea and dinner recently because of you, you can give her a good explanation." ”

He Zhen really stopped meddling in his affairs, and immediately turned his head to care about the Cao family.

The Qin clan hurriedly glanced at He Linwan and left the Luhua Palace with her.

After leaving the Luhua Palace, the Qin family explained to He Linwan in a low voice: "Let their mother and daughter talk privately for a while." ”

He Linwan nodded in understanding.

When the Qin family and He Linwan were led into Qingxi Palace by the palace maid, Concubine Xian was frowning and listening to a chamberlain whispering something, and He Linwan heard the words "Chaoshang" and "Your Highness".

Concubine Xian turned her eyes and saw He Linwan and the Qin family coming in, and immediately raised her hand to stop the words of the waiter, and motioned for him to retreat with her eyes.

The Qin clan took He Lin to salute in the evening.

Concubine Xian put away the displeasure on her face, kindly asked them to get up, and sat down again.

Concubine Xian and the Qin family seemed to be really old acquaintances, and the two chatted about some old things from their youth, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. He Linwan sat quietly on the sidelines, obediently listening to them, and did not interject.

Concubine Xian chatted with the Qin family for a while, remembering He Linwan, and smiled gently at her, "Isn't it boring to hear us talk about these past things?" When the girl of the Mu family comes, the palace will let someone lead you to the imperial garden to see the peacocks, the two of you are the same age, and you have lived together in the Wenzhen Hall for a while before, so you must be able to get along." ”

He Linwan secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Concubine Xian called herself here today to make friends with Mu Wanping, and this seemed to take her too seriously.

The grandmother beside Concubine Xian said: "Niangniang, the peacock in the imperial garden heard that he has been sick after eating unclean drinking water recently, and the feathers on his body have fallen off a lot, so he refuses to open the screen no matter how funny, I am afraid that it will sweep away the interest of the two girls." But the parrot that His Royal Highness specially sent to relieve the boredom of the mother yesterday is very funny, why don't you let someone take Miss He to see the parrot?"

Concubine Xian smiled: "It's okay, you can let someone take her over first." ”

It seemed that Concubine Xian wanted to deliberately send He Linwan away, so that she could say something to the Qin family that would be inconvenient for her to hear.

He Linwan didn't understand his eyes, got up and thanked Concubine Xian, and left with the palace maid recruited by the grandmother.

The palace maid led He Linwan out of the main hall of Qingxi Palace, walked through the verandah, came out of a small corner door, and introduced in a low voice: "The parrot is raised in the small cross-courtyard in front, and in the small cross-courtyard in addition to the parrot, there is also a pair of blue-eared kingfishers, a pair of white-necked long-tailed pheasants, a pair of pearl birds, and ......."

When the palace maid said this, an indecent sound suddenly came out of her abdomen, she hurriedly covered her stomach, her face showed a look of pain, and her tone was a little panicked, "The slave is rude, the girl forgives her sins." ”

He Linwan hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

Before the palace maid could speak, her lower abdomen made a few more noises, her forehead was sweating, her face was pale, and she hunched her waist and said: "Slave maid, slave maid ate a bowl of ice and snow cold Yuanzi before, I'm afraid that I accidentally ate my stomach." ”

He Linwan hurriedly said, "Then let's go back?"

The palace maid hurriedly pleaded: "Now go back to the slave maid for fear that she will be punished by the grandmother, can the girl wait for me and let me go to Gongfang? Gongfang is very close to here, and it will not be delayed for too long." ”

He Linwan glanced at the palace maid's painful look and nodded slowly, "Then you can go." ”

"Thank you, girl. The palace maid looked grateful and pointed to a door not far away, "There is a small garden in here, and the girl can go to the pavilion to sit first." ”

After the palace maid finished speaking, she covered her stomach and ran away.

He Linwan watched the palace maid leave, looked around, here is a sandwich road that goes to the same courtyard, no one passes, He Linwan thought about it, or walked to the door that the palace maid pointed to, the door is really a small garden, there are rockeries and pavilions in the middle of the garden, it looks very shady, it is a good place to rest.

He Linwan stood at the door and took a look, although she didn't notice anything unusual, she didn't plan to go in, but retreated into the corner door.

At this moment, He Linwan heard footsteps.
