Chapter 534: Secretly Pushing the Waves
Rong Xi and Leng Yixiu were outside the window, the surroundings were silent, the wind was slight, although the conversation in the house was not loud, but they were clearly heard, Rong Xi is not a gossip person, women are nothing more than these trivial things, and women in ancient times are even more, it seems that in addition to being jealous, you step on me and I step on you, there is nothing else to do.
However, she felt the need to listen to today's events, so far, about Zuo Qinglian's qiē, Rong Xi is just a guess, although it has been concluded that eight or nine are not far from ten, but after all, there is no exact identification, she wants to hear it, between the conversation between these two women, will something be revealed.
When Zuo Qinglian heard Rong Qiu's words, she couldn't help but look cold, "Concubine Rong, you might as well say it if you have something to say." ”
Rong Qiu "giggled" and laughed, the laughter was a little creepy in the night, the smile between her eyebrows was still the same, but it was slowly coated with a layer of coldness, "Sister Qinglian, what are you talking about?" This concubine heard that something had happened to you and came to visit with good intentions, how could it cause your unhappiness? ”
Zuo Qinglian raised her eyebrows, "Concubine Rong, you keep calling my sister, I don't know if you are older than me, or earlier than me when you entered the palace?" This sister ...... What do you call it from? ”
Rong Qiu seemed to stop in surprise, her eyes looked at her, clear as water, and she said word by word: "Where to start?" Of course, it starts from the level of status, otherwise...... What do you think it is? ”
"You ......" Zuo Qinglian's face changed with anger, and her eyes widened with anger.
"How?" Rong Qiu was stunned, blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't what Concubine Ben said wrong?" Aren't you a concubine? No matter how poor the side concubine is, she is also in the position of the side concubine. ”
"That's right......" Zuo Qinglian smiled sneeringly, "You are just a side concubine, if you don't know, looking at your all-round style, you still think you are the princess of Qi." ”
"Alas," Rong Qiu was annoyed in his heart, but there was a look of helplessness on his face, and he said in a faint voice: "I think that when the prince asked for a decree in the palace, he also said that he would make this concubine the princess, but ...... Sister, you know, Princess Qi is not very wrong, how can you say that you will take a break? This side concubine begged the prince hard, to be able to get the prince's love, it is not easy for the prince to be able to ask for a decree in the court, and this side concubine is also very satisfied, how can she tolerate the prince to send the princess Qi for the sake of this side concubine? Besides, the depth of the relationship with the prince does not lie in this name. ”
Her voice was gentle, but it was like a blunt knife cutting meat, and she looked at Zuo Qinglian's iron face, she smiled happily in her heart, but her tone was still a little regretful: "Sister Qinglian, it is said that your identity is not precious, after all, you are the daughter of Deputy General Zuo, and this concubine is just a concubine, but ...... You see, sometimes the concubine is not an important determining factor, and the feelings and intentions of the prince are still more important. ”
"That's right," Zuo Qinglian nodded, the tears on her face were mottled, but her eyes became brighter and brighter because of the tears, and there seemed to be a cold light, "So, Concubine Rong, do you think that you are so noble now, and you can even replace Princess Qi at any time, so-how much do you think the prince is sincere to you?" ”
Zuo Qinglian's words were like a heart-wrenching question, soft and fluttering like a cold dagger stabbing at her heart.
She looked at Rong Qiu with a little provocation, but there was a clear sarcasm on her face.
The disguised smile and gentleness on Rong Qiu's face, in an instant, were like being pierced by a dagger, revealing a hideous expression, she laughed loudly, and her laughter was rough, like the whimper of an injured bird, "Zuo Qinglian, what qualifications do you have to marry Concubine Xiaoben?" Where do you think you can go? Not to mention your mother's lowly identity, it's you...... Tsk," Rong Qiu smiled again, tears faintly burst into laughter in his eyes, "Isn't it also this virtue now?" ”
Her gaze was aggressive, turning around Zuo Qinglian's body one by one, focusing on the marks on her slightly exposed skin, with full ridicule and contempt.
"You!" Zuo Qinglian's face turned pale with anger, her chest rose and fell, she raised her hand and pointed at Rong Qiu, the tip of her finger was like a knife.
Rong Qiu raised her head, her raised chin pulled out a delicate arc, her eyes flowed, like a crystal gem, "What's wrong with this side concubine?" Is there a saying that is wrong? ”
Zuo Qinglian suddenly let it out, her stiff back leaned on the big pillow behind her, and the fingers she was holding were also lowered, her angry face suddenly turned into a faint smile, her lips were pale, and she curled a little, "Yes, you're right." ”
She raised her eyes and looked at Rong Qiu, and the eyes were not sad or angry, not even sad, but ...... Mercy, a touch of pity.
This inopportune look made Rong Qiu's heart flutter slightly, and she had some bad premonitions, she tried to stabilize her mind, and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Zuo Qinglian was not in a hurry to speak, she raised her hand, combed the hair in her ears, her snow-white fingers were put together between the black hair, there was a frightening impact and contrast, the candlelight was beating, her eyebrows and eyes were reflected in the dark shadows with that strange smile, Rong Qiu's heart trembled.
Lian Qi silently stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Concubine Fang, it's better to ...... The slave and maid will wait for you to go back first, and come back when you have time......"
"No way!" Rong Qiu categorically refused, she saw Zuo Qinglian's smile, and her heart was full of doubts, and those uneasiness sprouted like sprouts, breaking through the ground, but she never dared to think about what the real meaning of that smile was, she was vaguely afraid of the truth in her heart.
However, Lian Qi's words interrupted her fear at the right time, and she took a breath, feeling that she was really uneasy in her heart if she didn't ask for an understanding.
Rong Xi's eyes flashed outside the window, and her eyes did not fall on the extravagant Rong Qiu, nor on Zuo Qinglian, who was dressed as a wolf, but stared at the little girl, the inconspicuous Lian Qi.
She doesn't say much, but she can always gently turn the direction of things in another direction at the most critical time.
Rong Xi's gaze was slightly scrutinized, now it was not just intuition, but she could conclude that this little girl must have a purpose, but the question is, who is she?
Rong Qiu didn't have time to think about it so much, she said coldly, "What are you laughing at?" Do you believe it or not, this side concubine has the ability to make you unable to laugh tomorrow? ”
"I believe, of course I believe," Zuo Qinglian nodded approvingly, but her tone and eyes did not mean approval at all, on the contrary, they were still provocative, "Of course you do it, otherwise, the prince will not ......"
She still didn't finish her next words, her eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of her mouth also had a hint of a vague smile, the candle flame swayed slightly, and her smile was a little cold.
"What do you mean? What's wrong with the prince? At the mention of "Lord Wang", Rong Qiu's love became more and more out of control, she took a step forward, kicked the fragments of the teacup that had fallen too much, and there was a "bang" sound, which was extremely harsh in this quiet night.
"Concubine Rong, be careful, your skirt is moonlight brocade, right? But be careful, don't let those shards cut your skirt, moonlight brocade is worth ten thousand gold! I can't afford to cut it now, of course, if the prince doesn't ...... you I believe that it is no problem to make a few more sets. Zuo Qinglian covered her mouth in the most critical place, there was a bit of stiff chagrin in her tone, but her eyes were clearly proud.
The more she said this, the more panicked Rong Qiu's heart became, she didn't know what Leng Yiwei said to Zuo Qinglian, and she didn't know what kind of meaning was hidden behind those words, Leng Yiwei's mind was too difficult to guess, she didn't know what Leng Yiwei was thinking at all, every guess made her almost crazy, how could she not panic at this time?
"Concubine Zuo, don't you say a few words, why do you have to go-for-tat with our side concubine?" Lian Qi stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice, "Concubine Fang, go back......"
"Stand down!" Where can Rong Qiu listen, Zuo Qinglian also smiled sarcastically and said: "Hmph, the maid ring next to Concubine Rong is loyal." ”
Zuo Qinglian ignored the anger on Rong Qiu's face, and said slowly: "Concubine Rong, do you know what you are in the eyes of the prince?" ”
"Needless to say? Of course, she is the woman he loves the most in this palace, the most noble woman. Rong Qiu said with his chin raised.
"Haha...... Haha......" Zuo Qinglian laughed suddenly, she kept laughing, laughing so much that her scalp was numb, and even the wind outside the window seemed to stop.
After a long time, she slowly laughed tired, so she stopped, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, "Concubine Rong, you are really good at playing tricks on yourself, I really admire you." ”
"You...... What do you mean? Rong Qiu's heart jumped, and she didn't know what she had just said, and now the feeling of panic came again.
"Do you know where I went yesterday?" Zuo Qinglian asked slowly.
Rong Xi outside the window frowned, she intuitively felt that Zuo Qinglian's next words would definitely mention herself, she subconsciously wanted to pull Leng Yixiu away, Leng Yixiu was already happy to leave, he really had no interest in the yin and yang weird conversation between these women.
The two of them just turned around, only to hear Zuo Qinglian's voice and say clearly: "I went to King Ning's Mansion." ”
Leng Yixiu Huo Ran looked back.
Rong Xi sighed in her heart, she could think of mentioning herself in Zuo Qinglian's words, and Leng Yixiu also thought of it at this time.
Rong Qiu's voice unconsciously sharpened, "Ning Wangfu? ”
"Naturally," Zuo Qinglian was satisfied with her reaction, she smiled lightly, because of the tear stains on her face, her skin felt a little tight, and she was a little uncomfortable laughing, but she looked at Rong Qiu's expression at the moment, and there was indescribable joy in her heart.
