Xiao Wanyao put down the ginger tea and said jokingly: "Playing chess is a more nerve-wracking thing!" ”

Of course, Tang Siqi didn't take it seriously, and said while handing Xiao Wanyao the chess basket: "It's just playing chess casually, there's nothing to be gained, just play casually, no matter if you win or lose." ”

Xiao Wanyao thought that she didn't want anything now, anyway, Tang Siqi wouldn't agree to what she really wanted, and if she said it, she would only cause trouble for herself, so it was better not to say it.

In her memory, nothing major happened from the end of the year until the next summer, and what she was expecting would come in late summer and early autumn.

Before a game of chess was played, Xiao Lizi ran in and said to Tang Siqi: "Shengshang, Concubine Jin is here and says she wants to see you." ”

After listening to this, Tang Siqi replied: "Don't you see that the widow has friends here at this time?" The widow doesn't have time to see her for the time being, so tell her to come later. ”

Tang Siqi did this to consider Xiao Wanyao's feelings, Zhou Xinjin has been most unaccustomed to Xiao Wanyao recently, and Tang Siqi has complained a lot here, how could Tang Siqi not know?

Xiao Lizi hesitated a little and said, "Shengshang, but the wind and snow outside are getting more and more intense, isn't it inappropriate to let Concubine Jin Niangniang freeze in the ice and snow like this?" ”

Tang Siqi is not an unreasonable person, he walked to the window and looked at the wind and snow outside the window It was indeed bigger, and Concubine Jin was one of the few favored concubines among his concubines, and he couldn't bear to leave her in the snow like this.

"Let Concubine Jin in! Xiao Lizi, you go and prepare some ginger tea for Concubine Jin to drink, the weather is really too cold. Tang Siqi said, and walked in front of Xiao Wanyao again: "You have heard about it before, don't worry, you know it in your heart, and you will never be wronged by Wanyao, but it's too cold this day, and the widow really can't bear to leave her outside." ”

Xiao Wanyao also got up, bowed her head and said: "What the saint said is very true, Wanyao and Concubine Jin were all because of a misunderstanding before, and if the misunderstanding is resolved, it will be fine, please rest assured." ”

Tang Siqi saw that Xiao Wanyao was so sensible, and couldn't help but appreciate her more, so he smiled faintly at her.

At this time, Concubine Jin had slowly walked in, her little face was becoming more and more haggard, and she was thinner than the last time Xiao Wanyao saw her, but it was precisely because of this that she looked more pitiful and aroused the desire of others to protect her.

Xiao Wanyao looked at her with the mentality of a bystander, and only then did she find out why she could always be favored by Tang Siqi without relying on her illustrious family background in this deep palace, who can be as beautiful and weak as her, and her background is both her disadvantage and her advantage, just because her father is just a scholar, so for Tang Siqi is still within the control range, Tang Siqi has been with all the concubines for so many years, Zhou Xinjin is the only concubine who makes Tang Siqi have no scruples.

Xiao Wanyao now understands that when she was favored, how much sincerity did Tang Siqi put into it? Even if he is sincere, it is only three points, his love for her is mostly from his dependence on Xiao Man, as soon as Xiao Man dies, Xiao Wanyao's value will no longer exist, plus she has a disability in her hand back then, so Tang Siqi began to ignore it after Xiao Man's death, and the death of the prince was just an excuse for Tang Siqi to abandon Xiao Wanyao.

Xiao Wanyao knew that if Tang Siqi still liked her, he would give her a chance to explain, and maybe he would believe in her as a person, knowing that Xiao Wanyao was not such a vicious person.

But Tang Siqi didn't, after a holy decree, he would never see each other again, and Xiao Wanyao never saw this unrighteous man again until he died.

When Tang Siqi was greeting with Concubine Jin, Xiao Wanyao sat alone at the table looking at the chessboard in a daze, thinking about the past, so that she would be more sober and determined.

Concubine Jin took off her big hat and entered the inner room, and when she saw Xiao Wanyao, she looked displeased, pouting and asking Tang Siqi: "Why are there other women in the Holy Xuanshu Palace?" The concubine was unhappy. ”

Tang Siqi's tone also softened: "This is Xiao Wanyao, the second lady of the Xiao family, a guest invited by the widow, today the widow invited her to play chess and talk, you can also get to know her." ”

Concubine Jin was reluctant to take the initiative to show favor to Xiao Wanyao, but she pouted and got into Tang Siqi's arms, and said coquettishly: "There can only be one concubine in the Holy Xuan's Palace, and if the Holy One wants to play chess, the concubine will accompany her to play chess; The saint wants to talk, and the concubine can also accompany the saint to talk, why do you want others to come? The concubine is not happy......"

Concubine Jin was still angry, holding Tang Siqi and refusing to let go, Tang Siqi was reluctant to get angry with her, after all, she didn't do anything wrong, so she could only smile awkwardly at Xiao Wanyao in desperation.

Xiao Wanyao only felt that she should not stay for a long time at first, but thinking that this was a great opportunity to promote the marriage of Xiao Wanrou and Zhou Xinning, she sat there instead and did not leave, intending to pretend to be stupid.

Tang Siqi originally thought that Xiao Wanyao could make concessions and take a step first, but he didn't expect that this time Xiao Wanyao didn't understand his thoughts, and sat there without any intention of leaving.

"The saint still hasn't finished playing chess, aren't you going to finish playing?" Xiao Wanyao pointed to the chessboard and smiled at Tang Siqi.

Tang Siqi was extremely depressed at the moment, Xiao Wanyao was called by him to play chess, yes, it was not good to hang people there in the second half; Concubine Jin was also called in by him, yes, he snubbed Concubine Jin, and Concubine Jin was naturally not happy.

After weighing it, I still want to finish playing chess with Xiao Wanyao first, and then accompany Concubine Jin.

It's just that Tang Siqi wanted to go over to play chess, but he was hugged by Concubine Jin, and Xiao Wanyao waited beside him, which really made Tang Siqi embarrassed.

"Concubine Jin, the widow and Miss Xiao Er have not decided the winner, the widow is going to accompany you after playing this game of chess, okay?" Tang Siqi comforted Concubine Jin.

"No, Shengshang, the concubine is uncomfortable, and I want the Shengshang to accompany the concubine." Concubine Jin said, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Xiao Wanyao, revealing a smug look.

Xiao Wanyao sneered, thinking that Concubine Jin was really too tender like this, so she got up and walked over, and said as she walked: "The Holy Lord is a king and not an imperial doctor, what's the use of you pestering the Holy Lord?" It just so happens that the folk girl knows some tricks, so it's better to let the folk girl help Concubine Jin Niangniang to see, where is Niangniang uncomfortable? ”

As soon as Xiao Wanyao touched Concubine Jin's wrist, she was thrown away in disgust, and Concubine Jin said unceremoniously: "This palace doesn't want to see you, you vicious woman!" Go away! ”

Xiao Wanyao deliberately showed an embarrassed expression, standing in place and looking at a loss, which made Tang Siqi feel a little pity for Xiao Wanyao in his heart.

"Concubine Jin! You have gone too far like this, Miss Xiao Er is a guest, where do you treat her like this, let the widow's face be placed? Tang Siqi frowned and asked.

Concubine Jin was aggrieved all of a sudden: "Is the saint blaming Xin Jin?" Xin Jinke didn't say a word of nonsense, this woman instigated the queen mother to punish Xiao Zhuozi, Xiao Zhuozi was cut off her tongue and dodged her hands, and the living person was so wasted, the reason was that she inadvertently bumped into this Miss Xiao Er in the Jiaofang Palace! ”

Concubine Jin's sentences shot out like sharp blades.

After listening to this, Tang Siqi also felt that it was not Xiao Wanyao's style, and besides, Xue Qingyi was not a fool, how could he offend Zhou Xinjin because of Xiao Wanyao's few words? It must have been determined by the situation at the time, no wonder Xiao Wanyao.

"Concubine Jin, don't talk nonsense, it's just a minion, if you need it, if you want a few, the widow will give you a few, you don't make a fuss about this matter anymore, and when the queen knows, she should scold you again." Tang Siqi wanted to calm things down, so he persuaded him with good words.

"The concubine is favored by the saint! Concubines are not afraid! Zhou Xinjin said coquettishly, which couldn't help but give Xiao Wanyao goosebumps.

"Wan Yao, as soon as you go and sit aside, the widow will continue to play chess with you immediately." Tang Siqi said to Xiao Wanyao.

"Nope! The concubine didn't want this bad woman to appear by the saint's side. "Concubine Jin is also ruthless today, she lost to Xiao Wanyao last time, how can she get back a game this time!!

Tang Siqi frowned, and there was nothing he could do for a while, so he said: "This is all relatives soon, Concubine Jin, don't make any more trouble, you have to meet at the wedding banquet again, wouldn't it be embarrassing to make trouble like this?" ”

Concubine Jin was stunned when she heard this: "Relatives? What relatives?? "What did you say, Holy One??"

Tang Siqi explained: "Miss Xiao Er came today, because the widow wants to give your brother Zhou Xinning a marriage, and if you think about it, the eldest lady of the Xiao family is the most suitable, she is talented and beautiful, and she is still the daughter of the Xiao family, your brother married her, and she will definitely rise in the future." ”

"Is what the Holy One said true?" Concubine Jin was surprised, but she was really a little excited in her heart, her brother couldn't be clearer, and no young lady could take a fancy to her, now the saint wants to give marriage, that is, she values their Zhou family, and also values his brother, this is a glorious thing, and the marriage object is still the daughter of the prime minister's family, so that the Zhou family can be regarded as climbing a high branch!

"Confused, the Son of Heaven is full of words, how can he make up nonsense to deceive you? Why don't you go back and get ready? The widow's side is ready to draw up a decree. Tang Siqi said with a smile.

Concubine Jin nodded hurriedly: "The concubine will go back to prepare, and when the time comes, I will ask the Holy Lord to let the concubine go home with the holy decree in person, so that my father and brother will be happy." ”

Tang Siqi nodded: "The widow is approved, go!" ”

After Concubine Jin left, Tang Siqi did not do it a few days ago, Xiao Wanyao said: "The saint also said that he would think about it later, so in order to understand the urgent need, he sold Wanyao's sister to the Zhou family, this has to be known to his father, isn't he so angry that he vomits blood?" ”

Tang Siqi's expression changed slightly, and said: "You just said that your sister and Zhou Xinning of the Zhou family are also a good match, didn't the widow promise her to Zhou Xinning, didn't it go against your will?" ”I1483
