Because he appeared at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, his complexion was still good in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Xue no longer called himself sick, and went to Fengyi Palace every day as before, although there were only three people who met in Fengyi Palace at this time.

Although Chu Xue has lost some weight, her appearance has not decreased, she dresses up carefully every day and puts on her own concubine clothes, she is still the most brilliant beauty in the harem, although Concubine Li is beautiful, but she is too young and frivolous, even if she is beautiful, she has already lost a lot in terms of temperament alone.

Every time I see Chu Xue dressed up in Fengyi Palace, regardless of the jealousy in Concubine Li's heart, Queen Xu on the main seat is already so angry that she wants to go crazy!

Just in case, she had asked Zhang Yutian, the imperial doctor of Fengyi Palace, to quietly check Chu Xue's medical records, and Zhang Yutian took a lot of effort to finally find out that although Cheng Zisong tried his best to cover it up in the name of "worrying", the medicine that could be prescribed for Chu Xue was really for the purpose of stabilizing the fetus. This woman is really pregnant!

If you are pregnant, you are pregnant, but this slut actually dresses up in front of him every day, what does it mean?

Do you think you have the capital to regain your favor, and dare to provoke in front of your own queen!

Chu Xue was still in the eyes of the country and the city, and Queen Xu secretly gritted her teeth fiercely.

Although she didn't know that Chu Xue was pregnant, Concubine Li also felt that she had changed a lot recently.

After returning to Lingyue Palace from Fengyi Palace on this day, Lu Xuan, the palace maid beside Concubine Li, whispered: "Master, the slave maid feels that that Concubine Yi seems to be not the same as before. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Li asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Lu Xuan explained: "In the past, when the emperor was in the palace, Concubine Yi rarely showed off like this, but do you see that she has been dressed up more and more gorgeously recently? It is said that the emperor has been cold to her for so long, shouldn't she be like this? Is it ......?"

"Could it be what?" Concubine Li hurriedly asked.

"Could it be that she can't see the emperor favoring you, she is dressing up like you, and when the emperor comes back, she will try to charm the king's heart?" Lu Xuan said and quietly looked at the master's expression.

I saw that Concubine Li really looked thoughtful, as if she had listened to her words in her heart.

Concubine Li actually felt that what Lu Xuan said was very reasonable.

According to her observation after coming to the Qi Palace, Chu Xue really didn't like glamorous dresses in the past, to be honest, with her appearance, even light makeup has already outperformed too many others, which really makes Concubine Li jealous, but she has really become more and more publicized recently, and those colors that used to belong to Concubine Li have completely compared themselves to her, which is really unpleasant!

Concubine Li thought about it and thought about it, and felt that Lu Xuan's analysis was very correct, Chu Xue's attitude was indeed suspected of imitating herself, the emperor was so close to herself before leaving the palace, although she had not shared the same bed, but she was so rewarded, and even sent the treasures to Jinli thousands of miles away, what is this not a pet? Now Chu Xue is like this, she must want to wait for the emperor to return and win her favor.

What she has just gotten her hands on, she must not give it to others lightly!

Concubine Li gritted her teeth angrily and asked Lu Xuan, "What you said is very reasonable, then according to you, if the emperor comes back, will she still snatch it away?" ”

Lu Xuan hurriedly said: "That's hard to say, master, think about it, Concubine Yi used to be a special favorite, and the emperor's affection for her is by no means a day or two!" What's more, she also has a little princess in her hands, and now the emperor loves this little princess the most, and when the time comes, their mother and daughter will use the means together, and it is inevitable that the emperor will not rekindle her old feelings! ”

Hearing such reasoned and well-founded remarks, Concubine Li became more and more in crisis, and she imagined what it would be like if the emperor was hooked by that woman again...... My heart was suddenly full of unwillingness, and I said angrily: "No, we must not let her snatch the emperor away again!" What am I going to do? ”

This Lu Xuan is the palace maid specially pointed out to her by the queen, it is indeed much more clever than the two brought from Jin Li, it was with her method a while ago that the emperor loved to stop in Lingyue Palace more and more, this palace maid can always come up with some useful ideas for herself, and she has already surpassed the two dowry girls and has become the confidant she relies on the most.

Seeing that Lu Xuan thought about it, he comforted her and said: "Don't worry, master, isn't the emperor still coming back, what kind of moth is she doing, it's just useless now, besides, there is also the queen mother, the queen mother helps you so much, let's go and ask her opinion, yes!" ”

By the way, there is also the queen, that is the most capable person in the palace, Concubine Li nodded, and prepared to consult the queen later.

Concubine Li was young after all, and she couldn't hold things in her heart, so she hurried to Fengyi Palace after lunch and rest.

Unexpectedly, the road was narrow, and the sedan chair carrying her had just gone out, and it was just touching the sedan chair of Yufu Palace. Lu Xuan reminded softly outside the sedan chair, "Master, it's Concubine Yi." ”

However, Concubine Li in the sedan chair only hummed, and she didn't seem to have the intention of falling off the sedan chair.

Although according to the rules, she had to get off the sedan chair to greet Chu Xue, but she really didn't have this interest today, thinking that the woman had been competing with her many times recently, thinking that she was going to rob her favor, Concubine Li, who had always been arrogant, was even more uneasy, and she really didn't want to bow to such a woman.

Concubine Li's sedan chair did not land for a long time, and there was a stalemate in the atmosphere, and after a while, she only heard the voice from the sedan chair on the opposite side, Chu Xue asked lightly: "Who is it?" ”

Yan Ling leaned into the window and said, "Back to the noble concubine Niangniang, it is the Li Concubine Niangniang of Lingyue Palace." ”

"Oh?" Listening to Chu Xue's voice full of contempt, she asked, "Since you are Concubine Li, why don't you ask for peace in this palace?" What is the meaning of this stalemate? ”

The palace people around Concubine Li were all stunned, and when Nishang heard this, she hurriedly persuaded softly outside the sedan chair: "Master, according to the rules, you have to get off the sedan chair and salute." ”

Concubine Li didn't want to return, but she knew in her heart that if Chu Xue pressed down with her position, she would still suffer, so she reluctantly said "get off the sedan chair", and then picked up the curtain and walked out.

Slowly moving to Chu Xue's sedan chair, she bowed her knees and said, "The concubine has seen the concubine." ”

However, when the words fell, the person in the sedan chair did not move for a long time, just like she had before.

After a long time, it was estimated that Concubine Li had been frozen enough, and Chu Xue said unhurriedly: "It turns out that you still know the palace rules!" This palace still thinks that you are from a foreign country and don't understand the etiquette of Daqi, so I am ready to send a grandmother to your palace to teach it! ”

The tone of this speech was not good, and she had not yet said the words to exempt her, but the people present, including Concubine Li herself, also understood, and Concubine Yi was really angry.

People are under the eaves, no matter how angry Concubine Li is at this time, she has to bow her head, she is forced to salute, and she is already shivering in the cold wind. After enduring and forbearing, Concubine Li finally opened her mouth to forgive, and argued: "Niangniang misunderstood, Fang Cai, the concubine didn't know it was you, so she didn't pay tribute to you for a long time, and the concubine must pay attention next time......"

"No need for next time!"

Chu Xue in the sedan chair said: "It's excusable that you can't see in the sedan chair, but are the minions around you blind?" Can't even recognize the sedan chariot in the main palace? Or do you recognize it but don't tell you about it? ”

Her calm but cold voice came from behind the sedan curtain, and she said: "Come on, the palace maid of Lingyue Palace ignored the palace, causing Concubine Li to commit a crime, and give her fifty palms." ”

As soon as these words came out, the palace people of Lingyue Palace were dumbfounded, and Lu Xuan didn't believe her ears, and her palm mouth was fifty? Whose mouth are you going to slap?

After reacting, she realized that Concubine Yi was going to slap her mouth, she was the big palace maid next to Concubine Li, who else was she with?

Concubine Li also looked incredulous, because she got off the sedan car late, this woman known as the concubine was about to beat her?

But whether she believed it or not, she saw that Yanling was already pulling up her cuffs, and Chu Xue in the sedan chair seemed to think of something, and specially added, "Let Fugui go." ”

Fugui is a man, although he is castrated, his strength is much greater than that of Yanling.

Seeing that Fugui hurriedly responded, he stepped forward quickly, and rushed straight to Lu Xuan, who was terrified.

"You dare!"

Seeing that Fugui grabbed Lu Xuan's collar and was about to raise her hand, Concubine Li exclaimed.

Chu Xue in the sedan chair sneered and asked, "Why doesn't he dare?" He is the chief eunuch of this palace, and he acts according to the will of this palace, why don't you dare? ”

Then he instructed Fugui: "It turns out that Concubine Li doesn't even understand this, how will she serve the emperor in the future?" The people of Lingyue Palace are really derelict in their duties, and they slap the palace hard, and they must make her have a longer memory! ”

Concubine Li was angry and wanted to say something, but she was hurriedly persuaded by the palace maid who rushed up.

Without any worries, Fugui raised his hand and slapped it hard, without any pity, and after the fifty slaps were completed, Lu Xuan's originally delicate and clean little face was already miserable, and even Fugui himself felt numb.

Seeing Fugui shaking his hands again and again, Yanling secretly congratulated herself that she didn't do it herself, and she would have to embroider Le'er's clothes later, if her hand was numb, how could she pinch the embroidery needle!

After the people of Yufu Palace finished their evil anger, it was not suitable to stay for a long time in the cold and the ground, Yan Ling persuaded: "Niangniang, it's cold, let's go back to the palace quickly!" ”

Hearing Chu Xue hum lightly, Yanling hurriedly raised her voice and said, "Go back to the palace." ”

ignored Concubine Li, who was still standing outside, and the group walked away.

When their figures walked away, Concubine Li shook off the palace maid who had been pulling her, looked at Lu Xuan, who was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "This account, this palace will definitely pay it back!" ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and got on the sedan chair and continued to Fengyi Palace.

In Fengyi Palace, Xu Jinhe listened to Concubine Li's cry, and then looked at Ni Shang's swollen face, which was already miserable, and pretended to be comforted: "Concubine Yi is like this, it is indeed a little unkind, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, so the person who takes you out of anger is clearly demonstrating to you!" ”

Concubine Li wanted to hear this at this time, the queen said so, she must be on her side, she hurriedly asked: "According to the queen's mother, should the concubine be □□ by her like this?" ”

The greater the contradiction between these two women, the more beneficial it will be to Xu Jinhe, and now that the queen mother and the emperor are not in the palace, it is a good time for her to do it, Xu Jinhe urgently needs Concubine Li to do things for herself willingly, and now the two of them are tearing their faces, which is really good.

Xu Jinhe said: "My sister will dissipate her anger first, and when the Japanese Palace sees Concubine Yi Guifei, she will definitely be questioned in person and asked her to make amends to you." ”

Just to make amends?

Concubine Li thought about it again and again, and said in her heart that there was such a trouble today, and it was impossible to discuss with the queen how to deal with Concubine Yi, so it was better to wait for tomorrow. She didn't believe that with the arrogance of Concubine Yi today, she would succumb to the queen tomorrow, and it would be good for the queen to see it with her own eyes, if the queen was also deflated, she didn't believe that the queen would be able to endure it.

Wiping her tears, Concubine Li got up and returned to Lingyue Palace.

On the second day, Fengyi Palace ushered in the people who came to invite the morning as usual.

After Chu Xue and Concubine Li were seated, Xu Jinhe picked up the teacup and asked as if unintentionally: "I heard that yesterday afternoon, the two of you had some unpleasant trouble, they are both harem sisters, and they serve the emperor together, why do you need to be so serious, do you say, Concubine Yi?" ”

Xu Jinhe looked at Chu Xue fixedly.

Chu Xue chuckled, and after laughing, she smiled and said coldly: "Niangniang's words are wrong. As the saying goes, the state has national laws and family rules, and the harem is the first in the world, so it should naturally be more disciplined. Concubine Li came from a foreign country, and it is reasonable to understand the palace rules, but the palace maid next to her is not a newcomer, so how can she be justified if she does not remind the master of the etiquette? If the concubine doesn't let her have a long memory this time, what if it is you who collide next time? ”

Xu Jinhe's face was ugly, but Chu Xue went further: "Besides, the concubine also learned from the queen's mother, the concubine remembered that in Yanzhou in the past, didn't the queen's mother also teach Yanling around the concubine like this?" If it weren't for the concubine who was punished for her, she still doesn't know where she is? ”

At the end of the words, Chu Xue added, "But then again, I don't know if the queen still remembers that Mama Li?" After a few years, I don't know how she is now, but she is still alive? ”

"Yi Guifei!"

Xu Jinhe finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily.

It's good that she doesn't mention the past, but when she mentions it, the new and old hatreds come to her heart like a stream, how much debt does this woman owe her and haven't paid it back? How dare she provoke herself so arrogantly now? Is it because she has another child in her womb?

But who expected Chu Xue to not plan to buy her account, Chu Xue coughed lightly, put down the teacup in her hand, got up and said: "When the concubine came out, Le'er kept crying, it's not early, the concubine should also go back to take a look, Le'er is the tip of the heart of the emperor and the queen mother, and the concubine doesn't dare to ask her to make any mistakes." ”

After saying a salute, Chu Xue went straight out of Fengyi Palace, ignoring the surprised or angry woman behind her.
