Chapter 3 seems self-defeating

Since she won the bet this time, no matter whether Xu Guifei is really kind or fake compassionate, Zhou Ying can only go all the way to the dark.

Now that Zhou Ying is just recuperating in Mingxi Palace, it is time to strike while the iron is hot to transform Xu Guifei's temporary pity for her into a more lasting emotional investment. If you want to do this, you must first understand how Xu Guifei has always been hard-hearted, how could she suddenly feel compassion for her.

The palace maids of Mingxi Palace are all soft-spoken, gentle as water, considerate and meticulous, this level is by no means the three-legged cats who served Zhou Ying originally, so the difficulty of the routine has rubbed up several steps.

Although they were called to serve Zhou Ying, the serious master was Xu Guifei, and Zhou Ying didn't dare to make another attempt if she didn't succeed.

Just when Zhou Ying was disappointed, a person arrived and solved her doubts.

This person is Zhou Ying's nurse Mama Li, and she is the only one who is loyal to the original owner. However, Mama Li was more loyal to Wang Meiren than to her, and Mama Li would not agree to use Wang Meiren's death to get out, so Zhou Ying sent Mama Li away in advance. Now that Wang Meiren's funeral is over, Mama Li returned to Zhou Ying.

When Mama Li saw Zhou Ying, her eyes were red.

In the past, Wang Meiren was an invisible person in the palace, up to Wang Meiren, down to the sweeping mother-in-law, all of them were lazy, but now in the palace of the concubine with the phoenix seal in her hand, Zhou Ying, who is a princess, has to clamp her tail and be a man, Zhou Ying does not dare to let Mama Li show sadness in Mingxi Palace. In case she folds Mama Li, she is really alone.

Zhou Ying stepped forward and clasped Mama Li's hand, tilted her head and smiled: "Mama is here too, I'm still thinking about Mama." There is no shortage of stubborn food here, Concubine Xu is good to me, she will come to see me every day when she is free, feed me medicine, and accompany me to solve the nine links. ”

Mama Li is the old man in the palace, and she reacted immediately and talked about trivial matters, "Is the illness cured?" How many ...... can be solved in a nine-in-a-row chain"

The palace maids of Mingxi Palace had eyes, and without waiting for Zhou Ying's orders, they retreated one after another, leaving a place for the master and servant to talk to their henchmen.

When the last palace maid left, the master and servant breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Ying asked Wang Meiren about the future, and after Mama Li explained, she added and subtracted the things of the day, and asked worriedly: "Don't hide it from Mama, the concubine Niangniang always asks me about me, and I pity it, although I am happy in my heart, I also have self-knowledge." There are many princes and princesses in the palace who are sweeter than me, how can I be virtuous, can I get the blue eyes of the concubine and the lady......"

Although Mama Li sees that her big child is a thousand and clever, no one can match, but she also knows that Xu Guifei has always been above the top, and helping a princess who is not favored is indeed not like Xu Guifei's consistent style.

Mama Li suddenly remembered an old matter, hurriedly pinched her fingers and calculated, and sighed clearly: "It's strange, it's also a coincidence." ”

Zhou Ying was busy listening, and listened to Mama Li lower her voice and tell an old story.

"That's when I was in the Hidden Mansion. Xu Guifei entered the door with the gift of a side concubine, and as soon as she entered the palace, she won the love of today. Even the concubine is pregnant, and she is not shy about it, the two lie and sleep together, and they are pregnant for ten months, and others have not been touched by a trace of rain and dew. Later, the concubine gave birth in October and gave birth to the prince, and now she is even more happy, holding the swaddling clothes to ask for the son. It's still the concubine who is afraid that the child will be blessed, so she has to persuade her. It's a pity that the little prince is blessed, and a cold man is gone. Mama Li sighed.

"Is it really a chill?" Zhou Ying muttered.

"I was just a sweeping maid at the time, I don't know if it was cold or not, but after that, the entire palace was almost half empty, and the princess also fell ill, and even later ascended the throne without showing up, and the phoenix seal was directly granted to the concubine." Mama Li said meaningfully.

The deep meaning is clear without a point.

Zhou Ying was shocked in her heart, pinched her palms with all her strength, and then calmed down and asked, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Mama Li saw that Zhou Ying was scared, so she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her in her arms, secretly blaming herself for not having a sense of proportion, and she must not be begged by the princess next time, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, in a few days it will be the sacrifice day of the little prince, and it is estimated that the concubine will also be sad." ”

Zhou Ying didn't defend either, she lay down in Mama Li's soft arms and slowly calculated.

In the evening, Xu Guifei came to visit Zhou Ying and entered the house, but heard the palace maid reply that Zhou Ying had fallen asleep. Xu Guifei was surprised, now that it was just dark, Zhou Yingke had never slept so early, "Did the princess take medicine?" Why do you go to bed so early, is it uncomfortable? ”

The palace maid Green Sleeves replied softly: "Your Highness has taken medicine, but it will be sullen in the afternoon, as if there is something on your mind......"

Xu Guifei frowned when she heard this, slowed her steps, and entered the inner room.

There is only one lamp in the room like a bean, and the light is yellow. Zhou Ying was lying inside, her body was small, curled up in a small group under the quilt, and she was lonely and lying on the huge shelf bed, looking particularly pitiful.

Xu Guifei felt pity and sat on the edge of the bed, wanting to give her a whole quilt, so as not to cover her mouth and nose with the quilt and make her breath poor. As soon as she put her hand on the quilt, she heard the sound of breathing change on the bed, and the child was obviously pretending to be asleep.

Xu Guifei smiled and said deliberately: "Xiao Qi went to bed so early, I'm afraid I don't want to see me, I am hated by Xiao Qi, I am so sad." ”

Zhou Ying was anxious, and turned over with a grunt, "No, Xiao Qi likes Concubine Xu the most!" ”

Xu Guifei was pleased by this blurted out confession, and was about to coax Zhou Ying to say a few more words, but saw that Zhou Ying's eyes and nose were red, her eyeballs were crying bloodshot, and even her eyelids were so swollen that she couldn't open them, and her color changed, "Why are you crying?" ”

Zhou Ying hurriedly covered her face, dragged the quilt, twisted her short body and drilled inside, "I didn't cry, you read it wrong!" ”

Xu Guifei was distressed and funny, "Come out quickly, it's not uncomfortable to cover it." ”

Zhou Ying still didn't move, and a muffled voice came from the quilt, "It's not uncomfortable, it's warm." It's getting dark, and Concubine Xu should go back to rest......" Halfway through her words, she was lifted by Xu Guifei.

Zhou Ying was like a little turtle, squatting on the bed in a daze, and when she reacted, her small mouth was flattened, and she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Xu Guifei hurriedly threw the quilt and hugged Zhou Ying for a long time before recalling the old words, "Tell Mother Xu, who made you unhappy?" Say it, Concubine Xu is in charge of you, okay? ”

Zhou Yingcai was coaxed into showing a little smile, but now it was gone, and said in a low voice, "I want to say hello to my mother, okay?" ”

Which one chewed the root of the tongue in front of the Seven Princesses! Xu Guifei was very angry in her heart, but her face became more and more kind, and she patted her head, "You are obedient, it's not too late to see your mother after you are sick, otherwise you will be seriously ill, won't it make your mother worry?" ”

Zhou Ying raised her head and bit her lower lip, "Mother Xu doesn't need to coax me, I know that Mother Concubine will never wake up again, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Guifei seemed to see her little prince again, lying in a bright red swaddling cloth, no matter how much she coaxed her, she couldn't wake up again. For a while, Xu Guifei's heart was so painful that her heart was broken, and it was as if the emperor had disappeared again, hugging Zhou Ying and crying so much that her liver and intestines were broken, "My hard-working child......"

Zhou Ying couldn't help it even more when she heard it, and cried bitterly while calling her mother.

The two masters cried like this, the palace maids and eunuchs inside and outside were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and several big palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, but it didn't have any effect, and a few timid palace maids were directly scared and cried.

Mingxi Palace was full of sorrow, and the emperors who had been driving here were crying.

The emperor thought that something had happened to Xu Guifei, so he didn't wait for the eunuch to report, so he rushed into the Mingxi Palace, followed the direction of the palace maids and eunuchs, and directly entered the West Side Palace, and saw Xu Guifei and the Seventh Princess hugging and crying.

Seeing that Concubine Xu Guifei was fine, the emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you crying like this, who made you angry?" ”

When Xu Guifei saw the emperor at this time, she was busy wiping her tears and wanted to say goodbye to the emperor, but she cried so hard that she was still sobbing for a while. The emperor pressed Xu Guifei's shoulder and signaled that she didn't need to be polite. Zhou Ying didn't have this face, and asked for peace in a proper manner.

Because Concubine Xu had already reported this matter a few days ago, the emperor was not surprised to see Zhou Ying at this time, and raised his hand to shout.

Xu Guifei eased up a little, "Who dares to make me angry in this palace, it's just that I pity Xiao Qi's child's life." ”

The emperor looked at Zhou Ying suspiciously, the Xu family is not easy to please, there are so many princesses and princes in the palace, and I haven't seen the Xu family take a second look. Suddenly, his heart moved, calculated the time, and remembered that it was the emperor's sacrifice day, and suddenly his doubts were gone, and he sighed loudly.

Xu Guifei felt pain in her heart and wiped away her tears, "When the emperor was full moon, the threshold of the palace was about to be stepped on, and there were so many He Yi that the treasury couldn't pile up...... Now the emperor has only been gone for a few years, but only you and I are parents, and we can remember him for a moment or two. ”

The emperor was a little weak-hearted.

In the past few days, the emperor has recruited a few new beauties, with graceful posture and delicate appearance, it is the time to get interest, if it weren't for today's whim to drive the Mingxi Palace, and bumped into Xu Guifei who cried out of shape, I am afraid that even he would have forgotten the emperor who won his heart in his early years.

The emperor touched his nose and sat down next to the concubine, "Don't pay attention to that little man with a red top and a white top." However, the master of the Xuanku Temple of Huguo Temple has returned, and it is also our parents' intention to ask the master to do a Dharma meeting for the emperor. ”

Xu Guifei confirmed it again and again, and cried with joy.

The emperor was even more merciful, hugged Xu Guifei, and had to use some means to coax the beauty to laugh.

Zhou Ying, who was decorating wallflowers on the side, saw that this scene was developing in a direction that was inappropriate for children, and she couldn't wait to poke her eyes blind. The palace maids in the house had already exited the door with great eyes, and Zhou Ying hated these people for not being righteous, but she could only stand on tiptoe and quietly move out.

It's a pity that Zhou Ying only moved less than half a meter before being discovered by Xu Guifei.

Xu Guifei was full of shame and pushed the emperor away.

The emperor also thought of Zhou Ying at this time, and was bumped into by his own daughter and saw himself and his concubine Fu Xiaozuo, the joy of the boudoir, although he was not very familiar with this daughter, but in the end his old face was slightly red, annoyed and angry, "I don't want to go to bed early if I want to recuperate, it can be seen that it is uneasy." Your illness is almost over, so you can clean up tomorrow and go back to Xiuyu Palace. ”

Zhou Ying was struck by lightning, and there were only four big words in her mind - all the previous efforts were lost!
