Chapter 17: The Dispute over the Imperial Garden

Early in the morning of the second day

After breakfast, Le Ling stayed in the palace and felt very bored and restless

"It's only the first day, I feel bored, so what about the days after that," Helian Xinya looked at her little face wrinkled and huddled together amusedly

"Niangniang" Le Ling pouted aggrievedly

"Leling can't be willful," Mo Lan couldn't help but accuse her, but when she heard it in a soft voice, she didn't really blame

Helian Xinya smiled absently and straightened up, "Since you're bored, then let's just go to the back garden and take a look, come to this palace, you have to walk around."

"Ah, really, great," Le Ling shouted happily, and Mo Lan had no objection

It was sunny outside, and the weather was just right, and the three of them walked slowly to the Imperial Garden

In the center of the garden, there is also a clear pond with a shallow and visible bottom, the water is clear and cool, the bottom of the pond is covered with smooth and round pebbles, and the pool is surrounded by green trees, and the sun shines through the green leaves, and the shadows of the trees are dappled

Helian Xinya folded a delicate red begonia in her hand, lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance, and Mo Lan guarded her side

"Niangniang, it's so cool here," Le Ling had already run to the edge of the clear pool, put her hand into the pool, and paddled the waves, and the whole person was lying on the pool, and she didn't forget to shout at them happily

Helian Xinya and Mo Lan looked at each other and smiled, helpless at her naughty and playful, and walked towards her

"Leling be careful" stopped by the pool, Helian Xinya kindly reminded her

"Yo, isn't this Sister Jinfei, my sister is really Yaxing!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind her, and her tone was slow, revealing a bit of arrogance

Helian Xinya was startled, didn't finish a word, and turned to look at the person behind her

The big red thorn golden peony palace robe, red lips, and a pair of seductive eyes were staring at her arrogantly, without the slightest taboo

"My sister is new here, I don't know who this sister is," Helian Xinya smiled without humility or arrogance, ignoring the arrogance in her eyes

She had seen this person in Cining Palace, but she didn't know his identity, since this was the case, she would not rashly salute her at this moment

"It's the first time I've arrived," the red-robed woman hooked her lips disapplausively, and her eyes were sharp, "It is also an ignorant person, innocent, and Xiangxing is not guilty, and she still doesn't tell Sù Concubine Jin, who is the mother's mother."

The arrogant tone seemed to be as if she was born to be looked up to, and the corners of Helian Xinya's lips were almost invisibly curved

"It's Niangniang," a clever maidservant next to her replied crisply, and then raised her eyebrows: "Concubine Jin, my mother, is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and Concubine An is on an equal footing with Concubine Fang in this palace."

The smugness and arrogance on her face made Helian Xinya think: dogs fight people

"It turned out to be Sister An, my sister has seen my sister," she smiled politely and detachedly, and said hello to her, still standing up straight

"It seems that my sister is really new to the palace, and she doesn't even understand the rules of the harem, this palace is really unexpected" An Guifei's delicate face was dyed with anger, and she was very dissatisfied with her attitude, this slut was still so arrogant after knowing her identity, and dared not to salute her

Helian Xinya didn't care if she was angered by her, and deliberately elongated her tone and asked rhetorically, pretending to know nothing, "Oh, sister, what do you mean by this?"

"My sister doesn't understand, it's better to choose a day, so let's just let my sister teach my sister well," An Guifei raised her eyebrows arrogantly, and spoke bitterly, "Otherwise, wouldn't my sister damage the face of my name"

Her repeated provocations made Mo Lan and Le Ling change a long time ago, their faces were lowered and they were silent, and Le Ling raised her head from time to time and glanced at Helian Xinya worriedly

Helian Xinya was still in a good mood when she first came to this imperial garden, so she didn't have too much entanglement for this An Guiren's bad tone, she just entered the palace and didn't want to cause too much right and wrong, but unfortunately it seems that she can't fulfill her wish at present

The smile on his lips became colder and colder, and the temperature dropped suddenly, and he looked at An Guiren's eyes with a little more disdain, "Sister, you don't need it."

This Concubine Jin not only dared to refuse her, but also looked at her so rudely, but she was unhappy with her since she was in Cining Palace yesterday

"What kind of eyes are you," Concubine An Guifei was very dissatisfied with her eyes, and shouted directly, "No, is it, I can't tolerate you now, do you need it, the Queen Mother has already said that the harem should carry my sister up and down, and I will carry Sister Helian now."

"Xiangxing go up and show Concubine Jin what the rules are," she glared back, Xiangxing

Xiangxing replied in a low voice, then raised her feet and walked towards Helian Xinya

"Concubine Jin, Niangniang, I can't stand it today," she lowered her head and said with a smile on her face, and her eyes quickly swept between the two standing behind Helian Xinya

One old and one young is her

"There is a difference between dignity and humility, and when you see a concubine, you have to bow in a proper manner, and you have to kneel down as a maid."

She said loudly, raised her foot and kicked Leling's knee hard

"Ahhh

Le Ling immediately looked at Helian Xinya Xiangxing's feet in front of her with a white face, and did not fall on her

When Xiangxing stretched out her legs, Helian Xinya suddenly rushed over, directly reached out and slapped her face, slapping her to the ground

"You dare to hit my person," An Guifei's eyes widened in shock, she didn't expect her to do it herself, and then she saw that Xiangxing fell heavily on the ground, and her right cheek was swollen high, "Concubine Jin, you are so ruthless," she angrily tore up and complained

Helian Xinya clapped her hands calmly, "My sister didn't want to offend my sister, but my sister's maid was too unpleasant for my sister to look at, and I couldn't help but move my hand for a while, and I forgot to tell my sister, my sister still has a bit of kung fu."

"Is it difficult to have a kung fu foundation, you still dare to do something to this palace, you can't do it," An Guifei twisted her face, her face was blue with anger, and she was white for a while, and there was a Fang Yuyi who was against her everywhere on weekdays, even if she didn't think that there would be another Concubine Jin now, if today's matter was spread, then how would she gain a foothold in this harem in the future

"I didn't do it, from beginning to end, it was Concubine An, you provoked first, I was enough to tolerate it, but unfortunately Concubine An, you don't know how to be restrained," Helian Xinya sneered and coldly refuted her, what kind of person is she, Helian Xinya will not be inferior to her because her position is lower than her, if you want to blame her, you can only blame her wishful thinking, and Mo Lan and Le Ling are happy to see her mother so strong, because only strong people will not be bullied

"You" An Guifei was so angry that the blue tendons on her forehead protruded, and her throat was speechless, this Concubine Jin not only didn't take her words seriously, but also dared to speak disrespectfully and teach her a lesson, you must know that this kind of thing is changed, Fang Yuyi may not have the courage to do it

Xiangxing, who was lying on the ground and covering her face tightly, saw that her mother was being bullied to such an extent, she had never seen this kind of scene, and her heart was suddenly angry

At this time, as a minion, she has to stand up, so that the master will use her more in the future, and she can have a good life

"The mother slave is angry for you"

With a loud scream, Xiang Xing stood up suddenly, rushed towards the careless Le Ling, grabbed her arm desperately, and pushed her back

"Plop"

only heard a loud noise, and Le Ling's whole person was directly pushed into the pool behind her by her

"Ah, Aunt Molan, come and save me," Le Ling poured her back into the pool, the water immediately soaked her whole body, and it spilled into her mouth and nose, she kept struggling, and began to choke and cough violently

"Leling" Helian Xinya and Mo Lan exclaimed and ran quickly to the pool

"Leling, hold my hand," she stretched out her hand and grabbed Leling's hand tightly, pulling her up with the help of Mo Lan

"Niangniang, let's hurry back to the palace," taking advantage of this kung fu, Xiangxing hurriedly walked to Concubine An Guifei's side, glanced at her, just rushed over, not afraid, and now she is vaguely afraid

An Guifei was so frightened that her soul was scattered, she nodded with a blue face, turned around and walked away quickly, and Xiangxing followed her step by step

"Hey, isn't that An Lengdie, An Guifei?"

A little palace maid standing next to a flower bush said strangely to the woman in the yellow dress beside her

When the woman in the yellow dress heard this, she raised her head and saw An Lengdie, who had always been arrogant and domineering in Su Ri, her back in a hurry, her eyes were covered with a burst of mist, and she was silent, not knowing what she was thinking

"Ah, little lord Xi, did you hear any voice from the other side of the mandarin duck pool," the maidservant Lian Yao exclaimed again

The woman in the yellow dress, who was called the little lord of Xi, nodded, she heard a noisy voice from there just now, "Go and see, Lian Yao"

……………………

After Le Ling was pulled out of the pool, she suddenly collapsed on the ground with a limp, coughing violently, and Mo Lan frowned and stroked her back for her

Helian Xinya took a few breaths, raised the back of her hand to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead, and when she turned around, she found that there was no figure behind her, and Concubine An and the little maidservant had already fled with their tails between their legs

Biting her lip, her eyes turned cold, people don t offend me, I'm not annoying, Concubine An, is she, she remembers you

"Is there anything I can help with?" suddenly a voice came from behind him again, soft as water, getting closer and closer

Helian Xinya turned around and saw a woman in a yellow dress standing beside her, with a gentle smile on the corner of her lips, and handed her a brocade handkerchief in her hand

When she saw Helian Xinya's face, the corners of the woman's lips in the yellow dress froze suddenly, and a trace of shock crossed her eyes

"You're you," Helian Xinya frowned, not reaching out to take the Jinpa she handed her

"Could it be that you are the concubine who only entered the palace yesterday," the woman in the yellow dress said this sentence lightly, and her gentle face turned pale

"And who are you," Helian Xinya nodded, suspicious of her abnormality

"I am、Liu Ruxi nobleman"
