Concubine Xu raised the fetus carefully, and even handed over most of the palace affairs in her hands. Although Xu Guifei seems to be weak, no one dares to slack off, because the emperor will come to Mingxi Palace every day to accompany Xu Guifei for lunch, and will stay overnight from time to time.

Because of this, the eyes of the full palace were focused on Xu Guifei's stomach.

Xu Guifei has not been happy for nearly ten years, of course she is very cautious about this child, the original Mingxi Palace has been renovated by Xu Guifei like an iron bucket, and now Xu Guifei is not even out of the palace gate, for fear of being poisoned and causing an accident.

In this atmosphere, of course, Zhou Ying also has to clamp her tail and be a man.

Fortunately, Xu Guifei treats Zhou Ying as before, and will open a small stove for Zhou Ying at noon every day, and when she comes back from school in the afternoon, she will take some time to accompany her, or ask some interesting things in the study, or accompany her to do her homework.

Seeing this, Mama Li was surprised and happy, and she didn't know how many words she had told the Buddha.

Not everyone thinks that way, though. These people may not have done it too obviously because Zhou Ying has not fallen out of favor, but there are some trivial things that make Zhou Ying clearly realize how many people are not optimistic about her.

Zhou Ying woke up in the afternoon, and it was still early to read after freshening up, so she sat on the beauty couch by the window and took a book to kill time.

Su Zhi made a pot of new tea as usual, and brought a few plates of dim sum and put them on the low table for Zhou Ying to use. Zhou Ying didn't pay much attention, just grabbed a piece of dim sum and took a bite, which immediately made Zhou Ying come back to his senses from the book.

Zhou Ying glanced at the dim sum on the table, which was far less delicate than in the past, only some home-cooked mung bean cakes and pea yellow.

Su Zhi was still holding a tray in his hand, standing aside, inexplicably a little nervous.

Zhou Ying put down her snacks and saw that Su Zhi looked like she was afraid of her seizure, and smiled sweetly, "Sister come and sit, my sister has been by my side for more than half a year, and we haven't had a good talk yet." ”

Su Zhi knew that Zhou Ying was not a person who was good at small things, so he sat on the pedal.

Zhou Ying didn't say anything more, and said calmly: "At the beginning, my sister was assigned to me by my mother, although I was promoted to the first level, but in the end it was decentralized. Even so, my sister can still serve me without complaint and wholeheartedly. I have always kept this intention in my heart. ”

borrowed Su Zhi's one hundred and eighty courages, and Su Zhi didn't dare to say this, "The mother and the princess are both nobles of the Nine Heavens, and the slaves and maids are like dust and mud, and they are fortunate to serve in the near future, and they are already the ancestors who are smoking." No matter how hard you don't do it, God will have to send a thunderbolt to slash the slave maid. ”

"That's it, you shouldn't mention this, but it will cause your sister to swear this poisonous oath." Zhou Ying leaned on the pillow and pointed to the plate of dim sum, "My sister is an understanding person, and I won't go around in circles." Now that I'm precarious, I don't blame the people under me for thinking about it. ”

"That villain who stepped on the high and low, should have taught a lesson a long time ago." Suzhi Road.

"People go to high places, and water flows low places. My stove is cold, and I can't blame others for finding another hot stove. Zhou Ying smiled in understanding, and said seriously, "Many people in our palace have found another way out, but my sister is still moving. Others are also upset, my sister treats me the most, I really can't bear my sister to suffer with me. While I still have a little thin face in front of my mother, let's find a serious way out for my sister. ”

Hearing this, Su Zhi was stunned for a while.

When Su Zhi was assigned to Zhou Ying, she jumped from the second class to the first class, but it was clear which of the favored concubines and the lost princesses was more promising, and the sisters who were good friends with Su Zhi felt sorry for her, Su Zhi didn't take it seriously, but she was a little sad in her heart.

But if this errand is on a business trip, it will be even more impossible to transfer back to the concubine in the future, and Su Zhi can only serve with all her heart. Su Zhi watched the fifth princess fold in front of Zhou Ying, and Concubine Xu Guifei treated Zhou Ying more and more like a mother and daughter, and even the emperor asked about Zhou Ying's daily life from time to time...... Su Zhi knew that this master was not a scheming person who let others fiddle with him, so he naturally accepted the contempt and did not dare to slack off.

Because of this, since Xu Guifei was pregnant, everyone's faces changed, but Su Zhi has been hesitating, neither rushing to show loyalty like Mama Li, nor transferring the relationship like others, just responding so vaguely, and he doesn't know what he is waiting for.

But today, Zhou Ying put her heart in her heart, Su Zhi hesitated for a long time, but she still didn't dare to trust it, "The princess's words really make the slave and maid have no place." There is no more precious reason in the world than a slave or a master. Besides, outsiders don't know the inside story and speculate wildly, but the slave maid saw with her own eyes that the mother was good to the princess, and the princess must not be discouraged, otherwise she will be calculated by the villain. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the worst happens, there should always be someone by the princess's side to bring water and cook, how can the slave and maid leave. ”

As soon as these beautiful words came out, Zhou Ying knew that Su Zhi was not impressed. She also knew that Suzhi was not so easy to attack, but she wanted to give it a try and didn't need money, besides, she had to borrow Suzhi's mouth to sell pity to Xu Guifei.

After all, the surrounding movement is getting bigger and bigger, and if Zhou Yingruo blindly pretends to be ignorant, she is either too stupid or too scheming.

Zhou Ying sighed: "That's it, it's up to my sister." ”

Seeing that Zhou Ying was no longer entangled in this topic, Su Zhi's heart was empty, and he didn't know whether the decision just now was right or wrong. Su Zhi hesitated and didn't want to leave, so he casually pointed to something, "Princess, what to do with these snacks?" ”

Zhou Ying opened the book again, took out the bookmark, "Go back." ”

Su Zhi's eyelids jumped, and he slowly packed up his snacks, not sure whether he should persuade Zhou Ying to be more aware of current affairs and calm things down.

Zhou Ying raised her head and smiled: "My sister is right, it's my authorities who are confused." My mother's kindness to me has never changed, if I blindly shrink my hands and feet, wouldn't I have confirmed the rumors, not only did I live up to my mother's intentions for me, but also had a dislike with my mother. ”

Suzhi was choked a lot.

Zhou Ying held her cheek with one hand, a pair of almond eyes bent into crescents, and said with a smile: "Ask who is in charge of the imperial dining room, and the snacks eaten by the servants are presented to my table, which rule is this?" I entered school late, I didn't learn the palace rules well, and I wanted to ask Master Cheng for a tutorial, but I was afraid that Master Cheng would be angry that I didn't learn and have no skills, and I was even more afraid that Master Cheng would be angry and complain to my father. I'm in a dilemma here, and I want to talk to the steward about something. ”

Su Zhi gasped, this is a snake beating seven inches, a bit ruthless.

Thinking of this, Su Zhi didn't dare to delay, and quickly put the dim sum into the food box, and was deeply blessed, running away like a wolf.

In fact, Zhou Ying is not picky about eating, after all, half a year ago, she often couldn't fill her stomach, how could she really be picky about these snacks. But at this delicate time, the imperial dining room sent crude snacks, but she couldn't help but do nothing.

If Zhou Ying swallows her grievances in a muffled voice, others will not think that she is generous and good, but will only think that she is weak and easy to bully. There will be no shortage of people who deceive the upper and lower places, bully the weak and fear the hard, she will not think that all the emperors of Qianxi Si will sit back and relax. The crying child has milk to eat, and there are more than a dozen princes and princesses of the two institutes, how can the emperor ask one by one.

Originally, Xu Guifei took Zhou Ying to show her face in front of the emperor, and Zhou Ying had the best food and accommodation, of course, she was not neglected. Now Zhou Ying wants to push the boat down the river and leave Mingxi Palace, but even if she doesn't have the protection of Concubine Xu, she can't let them ride on her head.

What's more, if Zhou Ying blindly shows weakness, it will attract Xu Guifei's pity a lot, but it will not be conducive to her moving out of Mingxi Palace in the future.

Zhou Ying saw that it was almost the time, got up and went to the imperial study, and as soon as she raised her foot and stepped out of the threshold, she saw Su Zhi sweating in a hurry, walking quickly all the way and rushing over almost trotting. Zhou Ying couldn't help but be surprised, is the imperial dining room so bold and reckless, it doesn't work to move the emperor out?

Su Zhi attached to Zhou Ying's ear, and her voice was trembling, "Niangniang has fetal gas, I'm afraid it's not ......."
