Chapter 54: A New Ally

"The hearts of people in the palace are unpredictable...... Maybe the second lady is right...... "Licorice has been a girl in Xiao Mansion since she was a child, and she is used to seeing the concubines in the master's rooms fighting back and forth, although in the end they were all crushed to death by Liu Ruyun with means, but seeing the big with the small, there are so many concubines in the palace, and the interests of countless families are involved behind the favor and fall out of favor, so the battle should be crazier and more intense!?"

Licorice looked at Xiao Wanyao, for the first time she felt so sad to be born in a big family, she always thought that only the poor could not control their fate, and it turned out that the powerful people were the same, and the scenery of life was also led by fate, for example, Xiao Wanyao had to repent of marriage and enter the palace in the face of a holy decree; For example, what if Xiao Wanrou is the daughter of the family? In Tang Siqi's eyes, it is just a tool used to win over officials.

These "superior" people are also driven by fate, and they seem even more helpless.

Aunt Chunhua took the palace maid to the side hall with the "medicine", at this time Xue Tianao was half-leaning on the soft handrail, his face was pale and did not speak, and Xue Qingyi sat aside to talk to him, but he was impatient and perfunctory, and he couldn't listen to a word.

"Queen Mother, Miss Xiao Er's prepared sobering medicine has been delivered...... Aunt Chunhua found that she had lost her words before she finished speaking, Xue Qingyi glanced at her fiercely, and told her not to mention Xiao Wanyao at this time.

Xue Tianao didn't react, guessing that he shouldn't have listened attentively, so he was relieved.

"Qinghe, if you drink the medicine, you can feel better." Xue Qingyi looked at the liquid in the bowl and was weird, and before he could study it carefully, he was snatched away by Xue Tianao.

"Qinghe! You wait ......" Before Xue Qingyi finished speaking, Xue Tianao had already raised his head and drank, and after drinking most of the time, he stopped and smiled weirdly at Xue Qingyi.

"My sister wanted to find trouble with that girl, but she was tricked by that girl!" Xue Tianao was not afraid of affecting Xiao Wanyao, and handed the bowl to Xue Qingyi with a smile.

Xue Qingyi took it and sniffed it, but there was no taste; Then I took another sip, and it was no different from water!

"That Xiao Wanyao dares to play this palace! Where does she have hangover cures!? It's water in this bowl! This palace wants to find her theory! Chunhua, go and call her......" Xue Qingyi was depressed in her heart, she didn't expect Xiao Wanyao to even bother to deal with it, and the way she expressed her dissatisfaction was so direct! No matter what, it's really against her!

"Sister, wait a minute." Xue Tianao said and stopped Aunt Chunhua at the same time, and then asked, "Sister should have made some difficult request for her!?" I know that girl's temper, if she has to fight with you, she won't do it! ”

Xue Qingyi frowned: "But this is too perfunctory, right!?" Is there any Hongu in her eyes!? Xue Qingyi wanted to drop the bowl in her hand, if it weren't for the evidence to find Xiao Wanyao's theory, she would definitely not endure it like this!

"Sister hasn't said yet, what hangover medicine did you let her prescribe?" Xue Tianao saw that Xue Qingyi was angry when he was alone there, so he couldn't help but ask again.

"I want the hangover medicine she dispenses, first, the hangover is effective, and second, there must be no unpleasant taste, otherwise can you, the little ancestor, drink it?" Xue Qingyi didn't forget to say a word of disgust to him after he finished speaking.

Xue Tianao was relieved, and suddenly smiled happily: "Sister, do you know that warm water is the best hangover medicine, and it has no taste?" You and I thought I was being tricked by that girl just now, but I didn't expect her to do exactly what my sister asked. ”

Xue Qingyi was speechless for a moment, and reluctantly found another reason: "That...... Can water be considered medicine? Hongu asked her to dispense medicine......"

Xue Tianao showed his neat teeth and smiled brightly: "Sister, this is a layman, in the eyes of doctors, as long as it can cure diseases, it is considered medicine." White radish is a vegetable that we eat on weekdays, but boiling water with it can detoxify, do you say it is medicine? Besides, I drank all night of wine, and it would be nice to wake up and drink more water, the hangover medicine tasted so disgusting, I only felt worse when I drank it. Xue Tianao took the bowl and drank the rest of the water, and then said: "It's much better now, so it's still more to my appetite for white water, sister doesn't have to trouble that girl anymore, people are doing it completely according to your wishes this time, if you go again, it will be unreasonable, and when the time comes, it will hurt people's hearts, and she may not listen to you in the future." ”

"But......" Xue Qingyi was unwilling, and when he wanted to say something more, Xue Tianao changed his previous headache, jumped up from the collapse full of energy, and said to Xue Qingyi: "I won't talk to you anymore, the day after tomorrow will be a hunt, I want to talk to the saint and take me with me." ”

After Xue Tianao finished speaking, he left the side hall, and the goal was to go to the Xuanshu Hall to find Tang Siqi.

Hunting is a major event in a year for the Wei royal family, generally held once or twice a year, the Wei royal family has a fixed enclosure in the suburbs of Beijing, and intercepts a section of the Qingshan in the north of the suburbs of Beijing as a royal enclosure, and the third month after the year begins every year, which is the period of hunting.

Xiao Wanyao still heard of hunting, but she had never been there in her previous life, firstly, Tang Siqi rarely brought concubines when she went to the paddock, and secondly, Xiao Wanyao was disabled in her previous life, whether it was riding a horse or hunting, it was inconvenient.

In the previous life, I still had a yearning, always fantasizing that I could ride a horse and hunt with Tang Siqi every year, and walk side by side in the sunset at dusk, and always felt that this was the most romantic, although these could not be realized.

Now Xiao Wanyao has no interest in hunting at all, there will be too many relatives and nobles in the paddock, Xiao Wanyao is too lazy to deal with it, and she is not justified now, and Tang Siqi is so worried about her, he will never take her there.

"Miss Xiao Er, Xiao Lizi is here to beg you, you can go to the Xuanshu Palace! You see that since the preparations for Miss Xiao's marriage began, you will no longer go to the Xuanshu Palace, what do you say you and the Holy Lord are angry? In addition to not letting you out of the palace, what is there that is not dependent on you? "Xiao Lizi came to the Jiaofang Hall Courtyard again today, and begged Xiao Wanyao bitterly, asking her to go to the Xuanshu Palace.

In the past few days, Tang Siqi has sent people to invite Xiao Wanyao every day, but Xiao Wanyao just doesn't go, making it clear that she is unwilling to forgive Tang Siqi. But Tang Siqi was unwilling to pull down his face and take the initiative to find her, and they were in a stalemate for several days.

The result of this guidance is that Xiao Wanyao lives a relaxed life every day, while Tang Siqi is anxious every day, like sitting on pins and needles.

Today, Tang Siqi asked Xiao Lizi to invite Xiao Wanyao, and he had already made cruel words before he came-if he didn't invite Miss Xiao Er, then don't come back!

But as soon as Xiao Lizi came, she ate the closed door and begged Xiao Wanyao bitterly, so she opened the door for Xiao Lizi, but she didn't give him a good face.

"Miss Xiao Er, please! It's not easy for Xiao Lizi to serve by the saint's side for so many years, besides, the saint won't embarrass you if he asks you to go, the slave is the one who serves closely, so I know more, and I know that the saint promised Miss Xiao Er's autumn canonization, that's right, don't worry! Xiao Lizi tried his best, which made Xiao Wanyao squint at him.

"Gonggong Li, don't bother talking, Wanyao typhoid fever is not good yet, and it is not suitable to face the saint." Xiao Wanyao took a sip of weak tea and replied casually.

Xiao Lizi wiped his sweat and said, "Don't hide it from Miss Xiao Er, you don't know about some of your careful thoughts, but the slave knows, and the slave knows that the reason why you have postponed the canonization again and again is because you don't want to enter the palace as a concubine." ”

Xiao Wanyao put down the teacup and looked at Xiao Lizi indifferently, although she was surprised in her heart, but thinking that these minions of them all lived by observing words and looks, and now he dared to speak to Xiao Wanyao like this, then he must have mastered something, she guessed that Xiao Lizi didn't dare to play empty city tricks with her, Xiao Lizi was definitely aware of it.

But Xiao Wanyao did not express her inner horror, but became more and more insipid: "Father-in-law Li wants to threaten Wanyao? ”

Xiao Lizi shook his head: "It's not a threat, it's that I want to cooperate with the second miss, if the second miss doesn't embarrass Xiao Lizi, Xiao Lizi will definitely not sue the sΓΉ saint, and in this way, the second miss will have someone by the saint's side who can take care of you." ”

Xiao Wanyao suddenly became interested, I don't know why Xiao Lizi suddenly showed favor to her, they have no intersection on weekdays, and there is no conflict of interests, and now Xiao Lizi already knows that Xiao Wanyao is not willing to stay, so relying on Xiao Wanyao is not a long-term solution.

"Father-in-law Li's words, Wan Yao doesn't understand." Xiao Wanyao thought about it, but she still had to respond to all changes with the same.

Xiao Li Zi said: "Don't hide it from the second lady, although Xiao Li Zi serves by the side of the saint, he is only a first-class eunuch after all, and Mr. Zheng is the leader of the eunuchs, but he doesn't do anything after all." ”

Xiao Wanyao suddenly realized that Xiao Lizi's intention had been clear, and he wanted to use Xiao Wanyao's hand to seize the position of manager, because now only Xiao Wanyao was the most involved in Tang Siqi, and Xiao Wanyao didn't want to stay in the palace for a long time, for him, there was no restraint in the future.

"Second Miss rest assured, slaves are people who know how to be grateful, and now that I have the opportunity to talk to Second Miss alone, please go to Second Miss if you are not invited." Xiao Lizi said.

Xiao Wanyao saw his cleverness and knew that as long as there was no conflict of interest, Xiao Lizi was definitely a good partner for her. Think about that eunuch leader Zheng again......

Xiao Wanyao seemed to have some impressions of him, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Xiao Wanyao got up slowly, and spoke to Xiao Li Zi with a fierce tone: "I hope Gonggong Li remembers today's words, and don't think that if you catch my handle, you can contain me, now Wanyao is also a bright person who does not do dark things, and frankly tell Gonggong Li that since you took the initiative to bring it up, then you can't go back, although Wanyao is not talented, but there are a hundred ways to punish a betrayer!" ”

Xiao Lizi showed a happy look when he heard this, Xiao Wanyao spent so much time on him, it was nothing more than suing him that he had already agreed to cooperate! So he hurriedly knelt in front of Xiao Wanyao and said: "Xiao Lizi can swear to the sky, as long as Miss Xiao Er is in this Wei Palace every day, Xiao Lizi is only loyal to Miss Er, and please don't forget the oath to ensure that Xiao Lizi becomes the chief eunuch, so that she can take care of Miss Er." ”I1483
