Hearing the news, Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment, and actually smiled.

No wonder there is a saying, "The husband cheats, and the wife knows in the end", although it is not quite true, but the meaning is not the same.

Although Xu Guifei treated Zhou Ying like a mother and daughter before, once she had her own biological child, Zhou Ying, who was adopted, would definitely be ranked behind. It's good to only be at the back, in case Concubine Xu Guifei sees her as an eyesore and blocks the position of her own children, so she dislikes her, then her life is even more difficult than under Concubine He.

Zhou Ying also didn't want to speculate on Xu Guifei's mind with malice, although she always had to pay attention to proportion, for fear that her mistakes would lead to right and wrong, but Xu Guifei really gave her care and shelter, which Zhou Ying has always engraved in her heart.

But people's hearts are fickle, not to mention that this is the palace where true feelings are most likely to be consumed.

Zhou Ying tilted her head innocently, revealing a childish smile, "But really? I'm going to have a younger brother? ”

Su Zhi hurriedly lowered his head, hiding the unseemly sympathy and uneasiness in his eyes, "Yes, Your Highness Princess. At noon, His Majesty had dinner in Mingxi Palace, the concubine Niangniang smelled the fish soup and wanted to vomit, His Majesty was concerned, and specially summoned the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said that the concubine was happy after diagnosing the pulse. ”

Zhou Ying smiled more and more happily, "This is a great event, help me take leave from Master Zhuang, I want to go back to see my mother." ”

Su Zhi went to find Master Zhuang to say goodbye, and Zhou Ying returned to the house, packed up his things with him, and prepared to return to Mingxi Palace.

Zhou Mei adjusted the strings slowly, laughing and scolding the piano for not being good, "I have already told my mother that I will change to a better piano, and see, it will only take long for the original form to be revealed." Defective products are defective products in the end, even if they are carefully maintained and protected, they will not be on the table after all. ”

This refers to Sang scolding Huai, which is really obvious. Zhou Mei was especially inadequate, and forced to ask: "Seventh sister, did you say?" ”

The second princess Zhou Ke frowned, thinking that Zhou Mei fell into the well, which was really despicable. The third princess, Zhou Yao, was not distracted at all by Zhou Mei, who was the villain's ambition, but only turned her head to look at Zhou Ying quietly, waiting for her to react.

Zhou Ying didn't get angry at all, and wrote lightly: "The qin was cut by Master Zhuang himself, and it is for His Holiness to be ashamed, please forgive me for not being able to put a beak." ”

There is a saying that "one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father", not to mention that this is a palace where rules are greater than heaven. If you are labeled as a disobedient gentleman...... Zhou Mei's face turned red and white, and she argued forcefully: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't mean to criticize the master!" ”

Zhou Ying didn't chase and fight, so she secretly changed the proposition, and she also took advantage of Zhou Mei's defenselessness for a while.

Zhou Ying walked up to Zhou Mei casually, plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano rang out, meaning something: "What does the fifth sister think, no one has more say than the fifth sister, just as this piano is good or bad, and no one is more justified than Master Zhuang, deciding whether it is destroyed or kept." ”

With these words, she almost pointed at Zhou Mei's nose and scolded her for worrying about the radish and not worrying about it.

Not to mention that Xu Guifei just got pregnant, Zhou Ying will still say it in the future, even if Zhou Ying abandons Xu Guifei, it is also a housework between their mother and daughter, and it is not Zhou Mei's turn to intervene and put their beaks.

Zhou Mei's face became more and more embarrassed, and she suddenly heard someone outside the door raise her voice and praise it.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and the person who came was Master Zhuang, who was belatedly coming, and next to him was Su Zhi, who was sent by Zhou Ying to take leave.

The four princesses all got up to welcome Master Zhuang into the door, Zhou Ying raised her eyes, and when she saw Su Zhi making a look, she knew that Master Zhuang had been standing for a while, and she was afraid that she had listened to all the words just now. Zhou Ying was a little worried at first, and then thought about the innocence and harmlessness she pretended, she couldn't fool people for a lifetime, and it was a very appropriate time to go-for-tat with Zhou Mei just now to show her scheming.

Master Zhuang first greeted the four disciples before saying to Zhou Mei: "Since this piano can't get into the eyes of the fifth princess, give it back to me, and the fifth princess will let Lingtang bring a piano by herself." ”

Zhou Meitong blushed and wanted to explain, but Master Zhuang's eyes swept over Zhou Mei indifferently, and said to Zhou Ying: "If you have a private matter, go first, and I'll ask the palace maid to send you your homework when you go back." Don't be lazy, I'll check tomorrow. ”

Although she was a little unkind, Zhou Ying still had a smile in her eyes, "Students remember." ”

Su Zhi said goodbye to Master Zhuang, got up and walked out of the door, and when she passed by the third princess Zhou Yao, she heard Zhou Yao lower her voice and quipped: "What a heroine, I really didn't mistake you." ”

Zhou Ying turned her head to look and saw Zhou Yao's smiling eyebrows, and couldn't help but smile back before going out.

After a while, Zhou Ying returned to Mingxi Palace, from the little eunuch guarding the door, to the grandmother who watered the flowers, and then to the palace maid who opened the curtain, all of them were beaming with joy on their faces, eager to show all their teeth, Zhou Ying also smiled and entered the hall.

Xu Guifei was sitting in the middle of the stars holding the moon, wearing a home skirt, with only a loose bun on her head, a jasper hairpin, and even her makeup was no longer as glamorous as before, only lightly swept her moth eyebrows, and painted a little light lipstick on her lips.

It is not difficult to guess how much Xu Guifei thinks of this belated child.

Even not only Xu Guifei, but even the emperor, who already had a lot of heirs, was also shining at the moment, so happy that the corners of his mouth were grinning to the root of his ears, biting his ears with Xu Guifei intimately, and peeling grapes with his own hands to feed Xu Guifei to eat.

This next week, Zhou Ying knew that she was unlucky, and the palace maid who opened the curtain just now didn't say a word, and the wind made the rudder fast enough.

Zhou Ying smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Mother, I heard that I have a little brother?" ”

Xu Guifei was just when she saw that everyone was happy, and when she heard Zhou Ying call her brother when she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but be even more happy, she smiled and said, "Which ear reports to God to tell you?" I've said it all, don't let them disturb your school. ”

Zhou Ying smiled and said: "It's no wonder that they are all over the palace, such a big happy event has spread all over the palace, if I can't hear it, it's rare." ”

I forgot about this stubble under the surprise, these good sisters are afraid that they will be restless. Xu Guifei's eyebrows frowned slightly, but the emperor didn't see it, holding Yan's father's shelf, and asked in a deep voice: "This is the time for class, are you skipping school?" ”

Zhou Ying may have been scared by this posture before, but after more contact, she also knew that although the emperor was strict and intimidating to his children on the surface, he was actually very kind. Considering the majesty of the emperor as a father, Zhou Ying lowered his hand and explained seriously: "I have taken leave with Master Zhuang, I won't pull down my homework, and Master Zhuang will check it tomorrow." ”

Catching a glimpse of the emperor's face softening, Zhou Ying muttered quietly, "Isn't it a joy for the concubine, I can remember that it's good to take leave." ”

When the emperor saw Zhou Ying's pouting face, he couldn't help but smile, "You are quite reasonable." ”

Zhou Ying straightened up her small chest and was very angry.

After some flattery in the inner hall, Zhou Ying confessed and retreated. Su Zhi waited for Zhou Ying to clean her hands and change her clothes, Zhou Ying went to the study to write the big characters left by Master Cheng in the morning, Su Zhi grinded the ink, served tea, and Zhou Ying waved her hand to let her go down.

Zhou Ying had only been writing for a moment, and someone came to disturb her.

can still get together at such a delicate time, and it is somewhat sincere. Zhou Ying couldn't help but look forward to it, and shouted in, and saw that it was Mama Li who pushed the door, and couldn't help but smile slightly. During this time, although Xu Guifei did not explicitly let Mama Li be raised, she only let Mama Li guard Zhou Ying's inner library, and she couldn't get close to her when she was idle, and only the palace maids of the Suzhi family followed Zhou Ying closely.

But Su Zhi stopped talking a little except when he told Zhou Ying that the concubine was pregnant, and then followed Zhou Ying in and out a few times, but he didn't say a word about it. Although Zhou Ying had expected it, she was inevitably a little disappointed when she saw it at this moment.

Seeing that Zhou Ying was not in a state, Mama Li became even more anxious, "My little ancestor, you are still in the mood to laugh after all the eyebrows are burned." ”

Zhou Ying sighed, asked Mama Li to be quiet, and then said softly: "I know that Mama is anxious for me, but it's useless to be anxious, the right to dispose of this matter is not in my hands." No matter whether my mother stays with me or not, I can only bear it. ”

Mama Li was stunned by Zhou Ying's words, and her expression was half gray, "Yes, that's the concubine." ”

Zhou Ying looked a little unbearable, but fighting against the concubine was really hitting a stone with an egg. She is a princess, and if she is discovered, she will be sent to the cold palace at most, but Mama Li is just a slave, and once the incident happens, I am afraid that she will only end up filling in the well......

Mama Li barely cheered up and said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm all confused." Princess, don't listen to my old nonsense, the concubine treats you better than her daughter, although you are close to the concubine, don't listen to the provocation of outsiders, and have a relationship with the concubine. ”

Zhou Ying nodded in response.

In fact, Xu Guifei is happy, which is not necessarily a bad thing for Zhou Ying.

That day, Zhou Ying was afraid of revenge from Concubine He, so she grabbed Concubine Xu Guifei like a life-saving straw. In fact, after staying in Mingxi Palace for a long time, Zhou Ying knew that she was too afraid of Concubine He. It may be that as soon as he walks through, he will be exposed to it in Xiuyu Palace, as long as he and the concubine can share one or two days of rain and dew every month, he is a great character, and killing an unfavored princess is as simple as pinching an ant to death.

But in fact, Concubine He can also shake her majesty in the Xiuyu Palace. The royal family attaches great importance to the inheritance of heirs, and the princes and princesses who live in the east and west are personally arranged by the emperor for every drink and meal. In addition, the queen is in charge, and Xu Guifei, who holds the phoenix seal, can also ask a question or two. But one of these two is concentrating on recuperation, the other is concentrating on raising the fetus, and the rest of the concubines together don't have this face.

Concubine He's threat is not enough, and Concubine Xu's pregnancy this time can be described as a godsend...... Zhou Ying looked at the four institutes in Qianxi, and God was helping her.
