Under the guidance of Gonggong Liu, Saitama first went to Changning Palace, where the empress lived. It was the first time she had entered the palace, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and she didn't know what the relationship between the queen who commanded the harem and Qi Jiao was, and how she would treat herself. Saitama waited outside the hall for a short time before he heard the call, so he quickly straightened his clothes and followed a female official into the main hall. Saitama hung her head slightly, not daring to look around, but this golden place actually revealed a cold aura, which was really a little incongruous.

High above the main hall sat a woman in a red robe, and Saitama knew that it was the queen mother who was in charge of the six palaces, so she bowed her knees. I only heard a slightly cold voice from above:

"Excuse me. Saitama straightened up and bowed her head.

"Raise your head and let the mourners see. The voice sounded again, and Saitama slowly raised her head when she heard this, still not daring to look directly at the other party.

"Sure enough, she is as beautiful as a flower, and she is worthy of being a sister to the concubine. Although the queen praised Saitama's appearance, there was no hint of praise in her tone, and when Saitama heard this, she had a little understanding of the relationship between the queen and Qijiao.

"The concubine specially begged the emperor to ask for the title of Mrs. Yipin to Mrs. Shizi, such a deep sisterhood is really enviable. The queen didn't pay attention to Saitama and continued to talk to herself. Saitama was also more convinced that the relationship between the queen and Qijiao might not be good, so she decided to take a risk.

"Queen Qiyu, the concubine and the concubine are not the same mother, and the first mother has passed away for many years. ”

The queen was a little surprised when she heard this, and she was not trying to clear up her relationship with the concubine. She then asked:

"Then the current Mrs. Zhang is your stepmother?"

"Exactly. The queen also grew up in the deep mansion, so she naturally knew that Saitama must have a bad relationship with her stepmother or even the concubine if she could say this, so the expression on her face was relieved and replaced with a smile.

"That's my misunderstanding, don't be surprised, Mrs. Shizi. ”

"How dare the concubines, not to mention that the queen is in charge of the six palaces, how can she have the leisure to pay attention to these little things. ”

"What is in charge of the six palaces, the concubine is busier than the mourning family. In addition to taking care of the little prince. also shared a lot of trivial matters in the palace. ”

"Little prince?" Saiyu actually knew that Qi Yun had given birth to a son, but she didn't know who the child was raised by, so she pretended not to know at all at this time, making the queen believe that she had nothing to do with Qi Jiao.

"Don't you know? It must have been your other sister who gave birth to a dragon heir. Now raise it in front of the concubine. ”

"The concubine has just returned from Shandong, and she doesn't know anything about the capital. And, and I'm a little lighter, and I don't have much to do with these two sisters now. I haven't heard of this matter, but I think about it, shouldn't this prince be raised in front of his mother?"

Saitama said this. The main thing is to win the trust of the queen, so as not to embarrass Qi Jiao when she doesn't even have a backing person, but there are indeed some risks when she says this, in case the emperor or the concubine knows, it will not be a small matter. Therefore, Saitama is also in a cold sweat behind her back now, secretly blaming herself for being too calm.

When the queen heard Saitama's words, she suddenly felt like a confidant, and although she didn't say anything, her attitude towards Saitama was very different from when she first started. It's a lot closer. When Saitama left, she couldn't help but reward many things, and asked the female officials around her to send Saitama to the palace of the noble concubine.

Qi Jiao lived in Yuxiu Palace after being promoted to concubine, although her rank in the palace was lower than that of the queen, but coupled with the power of her grandfather and father in the court, Qi Jiao could be said to be extremely popular in the palace, and the queen was also faintly suppressed.

Qi Yun was fortunate to be pregnant by the emperor once in the palace, and it is impossible to say whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, Qi Yun actually gave birth to this child, but her body is extremely weak. Even so. The emperor is still overjoyed, after all, this is his only son, and of course he will inherit the throne when he grows up.

Qi Jiao excused herself that this child was born by her sister desperately, and of course she has the obligation and responsibility to raise this child as a sister. The emperor also relied on Qi Jiao's maternal grandfather in the court, so he handed over the child to Qi Jiao to raise. Although the queen was dissatisfied, there was no way, and she did not dare to disobey the emperor's wishes.

Only Qi Yun was very reluctant when she was pregnant with a child, almost always lying in bed, relying on various tocolytic pills every day to reluctantly give birth to the child, who knew that after the child was born, she was taken away by Qi Jiao without seeing it once. Qi Yun, who was full of despair, was sick. It's boring. At the beginning, the emperor remembered her gentle and delicate appearance and asked a few questions, but later saw that she was always stupid and demented, so he lost interest. Qi Jiao wished that Qi Yun was dead, but she was afraid of gossip, and suspected that she had taken her sister's child and forced people to death, so she just gave Qi Yun a bite to eat and starved to death.

Qi Jiao had already put on the concubine's dress and was waiting for Saitama in the palace, and her forbearance over the years was just for this day, to show off in front of Saitama. But what she didn't expect was that the escort Saitama turned out to be the most trusted female official around the queen, and it seemed that her sister was still very favored by the queen. Just one side makes the queen value it so much, Saitama is really not simple, and it must be perfect when dealing with her by himself.

When Qi Jiao saw Saitama, she was deeply stimulated. Thinking that he had just received the holy decree and did not yet have the dress of the prince of the world, Saitama wore an apricot-red Shu brocade half-arm, and below it was a moon-white skirt embroidered with folded branch flowers. There was a simple drop on the head of the horse, and a phoenix hairpin was inserted, and the ruby in the phoenix's mouth was shining, and the same ruby pendant was on the ear.

Such a dress is naturally not uncommon, but it can also be seen that Saitama's life is at least very rich, and such rubies are not seen in ordinary concubines in the palace. But what annoyed her the most was that Saitama was still young and beautiful, and after all these years, not only did she lose the sense of youth in the boudoir, but she also had a little more charm of a young woman. It seems that it is rumored in Beijing that the second young master of the Duke of Qi changed his sex after marriage, and these words are not groundless for his wife. It seems that the arrangement of the mother's hollowing out has long been in vain and has become a joke. Of the sisters, the best is probably Saitama.

Qi Jiao looked at Saitama's already fair complexion with a faint flush, and there was a faint aura of brilliance between her eyebrows, and the whole person looked dazzling. On the other hand, he was originally the best color among the three sisters, but after only a few years of work, he needed to use fat powder to cover his pale face and tired look. Everyone thinks that as a noble concubine, she is so noble in the palace, but she doesn't know how much shame she has endured, and there is no one to tell about her sadness.

Saitama still saluted when she saw Qi Jiao, but she didn't hear Qi Jiao shouting "flat body", so she could only stand in a posture of saluting. Qi Jiao seemed to have forgotten and said:

"I haven't seen my sister for a few years, and I'm almost unrecognizable. Saitama smiled slightly, but remained silent.

"Look at my sister's appearance, I've had a good time in the past few years, haven't I forgotten my sister? ”

"The concubine didn't dare. ”

"Sister, why should you be so polite between you and me? ”

"There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and concubines don't dare. Saitama's legs couldn't support her and she was shaking. Qi Jiao saw it in her eyes and smiled secretly in her heart, you also have this day to salute me. But Qi Jiao is already a concubine after all, and if you let Saitama fall here, it will also damage your reputation if it spreads out. So he exaggeratedly said:

"Oh, look at me so much that I only cared about talking to my sister, and I forgot to let my sister be flat. Sister, please hurry up. Saitama slowly straightened up her legs, and she stumbled a little because she had been bending for a long time. Qi Jiao only felt the pleasure of being above others at this time.

Qi Jiao asked Saitama to show her a seat, and ordered someone to serve tea and snacks. Saiyu remembered Li Yi's advice, the tea was only slightly sticky to her lips, Qi Jiao pouted when she saw it, and said:

"Sister, taste the dim sum in the palace and see if it fits?" Saiyu heard Qi Jiao say this, so she replied:

"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that the concubine has been unwell these days, and she can't eat, so please forgive me. When Qi Jiao heard this, she sneered.

"Is my sister still afraid that my sister will poison here?"

"The concubine didn't dare. Saitama had no choice but to pick up a piece of snack, take a bite of it, slowly put it in her mouth, and after a while, pretended to choke, coughed, and spit the snack into her handkerchief. Qi Jiao couldn't force Saitama to eat it anymore. With the identity of the wife of Saitama Shiko, and the emperor's appreciation of Li Yi, she can't go too far. This snack with croton was included, and Saitama dodged it like this.

"You and my sister haven't seen each other for a few years, my sister is still the same, but my sister and I are a lot older. ”

"The concubine's face is still the same, how can she be compared to a concubine. Saitama said.

"Sister doesn't have to be too modest, wouldn't that seem too hypocritical? Now who in this capital doesn't know that my sister is so high-minded, and she accepts all the famous swingers in the capital to obey her, not only inheriting the title, but also obeying her sister, I don't know how many people envy my sister. ”

"It's just a rumor. ”

"My sister is Mrs. Yipin this time, and my sister is really happy. In the future, there will be more opportunities for our sisters to meet. ”

"Thank you for the love, the concubine was flattered. ”

Qi Jiao summoned Saitama this time to show off herself, but Saitama's indifferent attitude made her feel powerful and nowhere to go, and suddenly felt that she was actually not as good as Saitama at all, and there was really nothing to show off. (To be continued.) )
