Chapter 504: What Do You Want to Say?
The wind in the courtyard was slight, the shadow was shaking, and the beauty was crying under the pavilion, Rong Xi felt that in order to cooperate with this artistic conception, he should also express it.
So, she cleared her throat and said as gently as she could, "Oops, what's going on?" Xiao'er, go and ask Miss Zuo to come up. ”
Xiao'er pursed her lips, brushed back the smile that she couldn't hold back, and then quickly walked down the pavilion, came to Zuo Qinglian's side, and saluted: "Miss Zuo, please go up." ”
Zuo Qinglian was happy in her heart, her face was still that pitiful look, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but she didn't wipe the water from her eyes, and said with a reluctant smile: "Thank you, princess." ”
Xiao'er saw her pear blossom with rain and a smile, and she also smiled secretly in her heart, wanting to play the sympathy card? It's not like it, but it must be the wrong object.
Zuo Qinglian slowly lifted up, went to the pavilion, as soon as she stepped into the pavilion, she noticed the difference, and it was not this faint bamboo fragrance, this jade-like color, just by virtue of this pavilion exquisiteness, the subtlety of the structure is not something that ordinary people can build, it should look natural, simple and not exaggerated, and it should reveal the luxury in the details.
She took a slight breath, and said that King Ning doted on Princess Ning, and she once thought that Princess Ning was beautiful, and King Ning was just a favorite of some jewelry and treasures for her.
Now when I see this pavilion, I know that what I originally thought was still shallow.
"Miss Zuo was crying just now?" Rong Xi suddenly asked.
Zuo Qinglian was almost choked to death, and the tears that had fallen for a long time just now were not seen clearly at all? Now I'm going to ask again.
She gently twisted her fingers around the handkerchief, bit her lip and said, "Princess forgive, Qinglian has lost her temper." ”
Rong Xi slowly picked up the cup, the cup was emerald green, the sunlight gently hit the cup through the pavilion, crystal moist, it seemed that the milk tea inside melted into the cup, the liquid was light, the cup itself was a work of art.
However, no matter how beautiful the cup is, it can't match the pair of plain hands, her fingers are slender, and the fingertips are not painted with any color, but have a natural pale pink luster, like pearl shells, which touches people's souls.
Rong Xi didn't speak, Zuo Qinglian froze there again, not knowing how to continue, and after a while, she heard Rong Xi say, "It's okay." ”
Zuo Qinglian suddenly felt that her breathing was out of her control, and Rong Xi understated that every word and expression seemed to be like an invisible thread, gently pulling her.
She took a deep breath, lowered her eyelids, her gaze slid over Rong Xi's bulging belly, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, a trace of jealousy, and she whispered: "Princess is generous, presumably ...... You're also generous to those concubines in the house, right? ”
Rong Xi's eyebrows were slightly raised, she took a sip of milk tea, the smell was still fragrant, but it was a little bad when she drank it in her mouth, this woman ...... What exactly is it trying to say?
is good, how can you mention concubines?
Xiao'er stepped forward and gave a salute: "Miss Zuo......" As soon as her title came out, she immediately apologized and said: "Oh, look at the slave maid, you don't know if you make a mistake, the slave and maid have forgotten it, and now Miss Zuo has married into the Qi Palace, this Miss Zuo's title, the princess can be called in the old feelings, but the slave and maid can't be called." ”
Zuo Qinglian's face is really green, like a lotus flower that has not yet arrived, revealing the green qi of life, but she can't open her mouth to defend a word, Xiao'er is not wrong.
Xiao'er didn't seem to see her look, and gave another salute, and called again: "Mrs. Zuo, forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, in addition to the princess, there are no other side concubines and concubines in the Ning Palace, the prince said, the mistress of this palace, there is only one princess, and the other women who enter the palace are also delaying the good years, the prince can't bear and can't afford the grace of those beauties, so he has already returned to the emperor, and there will be no other women in this mansion in the future." ”
Hearing this, Zuo Qinglian raised her head in shock, looked at Xiao'er, and then turned her head to look at Rong Xi, who was silent with her tea, her eyes fixed on the teacup, and she didn't even mean to speak.
Zuo Qinglian believed that Xiao'er was telling the truth, but she was still shocked in her heart, there was no concubine in King Ning's mansion, she knew it, it turned out that there was a concubine Li, who had already been expelled from the mansion, and what about the concubine? How could it not be?
Let alone...... Now that Rong Xi is still pregnant, how can he serve King Ning?
Is King Ning willing to endure this kind of thing? It's ten months pregnant.
She opened her mouth, and the words she had thought of had already been beaten by Xiao'er's words, and she didn't know how to answer.
Rong Xi put down the teacup and smiled shallowly, between her eyebrows was calm and graceful, it was the confidence and demeanor that only people who were in a comfortable mood and truly quiet from their hearts would have, looking at Zuo Qinglian's stunned expression, she had to remind: "Mrs. Zuo, this princess is waiting for you to speak." ”
Zuo Qinglian was too shocked, and she didn't notice that Rong Xi's name for her had also changed, so she could only sigh, and tried to clean up her mind and said: "Qinglian is really getting more and more unproductive, and she has repeatedly lost her temper, and she really envy the princess, His Royal Highness King Ning is like this...... Valuing the princess, alas...... Qinglian's life is much more miserable. ”
"Oh?" Rong Xi was slightly surprised, "What?" Does Mrs. Zuo feel that marrying King Qi is very difficult? ”
Zuo Qinglian was startled when she heard Rong Xi's question, and almost jumped up from her chair, "No...... No, Qinglian didn't mean that. ”
Rong Xi didn't speak, but there was doubt in his eyes, but Zuo Qinglian was secretly annoyed, if the words just now reached the Qi Palace, and were used by those troubled women to make an article...... She only cared about regret, but she didn't see a trace of banter in Rong Xi's eyes in addition to doubts.
Zuo Qinglian smiled reluctantly, feeling that the pavilions that were ventilated on all sides were a little depressed, "It's not a secret, Qinglian came today to ask the princess for guidance." ”
"Fingering?" Rong Xi's eyes flashed slightly, shook his head and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Zuo Qinglian sighed, her eyes were resentful, her long eyelashes were lowered, she was pitiful, "Qinglian is incompetent, although she is the concubine of the Zuo family, her father is only a deputy general, and she can only be a concubine if she marries into the Qi Palace, but Qinglian does not regret it, marrying a chicken with a chicken, not to mention that the prince is also an elegant person, Qinglian ...... Very satisfying. ”
The corners of Rong Xi's mouth showed a playful smile, an elegant person...... Is this used to describe Leng Yiwei? Satisfy? Are you satisfied? What are you looking for this princess for? What a waste of time!
"Qinglian has no other talents, she only knows how to respect the prince in everything and everywhere, for the sake of the prince, Qinglian has a weak temperament, not as smart as other sisters, and as time goes by, Qinglian looks stupid and stupid." Zuo Qinglian's tone was sad, as if she had eaten a yellow lotus, and even her breath revealed a bitter taste.
Xiao'er rolled her eyelids on the side, peeked at Rong Xi, and saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, she knew that she didn't listen to it at all, and let this Mrs. Zuo sing and suffer by herself here.
"Especially ......" Zuo Qinglian's fingers twisted the handkerchief, and the brocade handkerchief embroidered with the double lotus gave birth to folds one by one, and the appearance of the lotus flower was also distorted, "After Sister Rong Qiu entered the palace, the prince loved her well, and her sister was smart, and she should be loved by the prince, but it was just ......"
She didn't say anything more, she thought that these words were attractive enough to provoke Rong Xi's appetite, just waiting for Rong Xi to ask, "Just what?" ”
However, Rong Xi didn't ask, looked at the teacup again, turned to Xiao'er and said, "Xiao'er, this tea is cold, go change it to some hot ones." ”
"Yes." Xiao'er nodded, took the teapot and left.
Just about to get out of the pavilion, Rong Xi seemed to have just thought of Zuo Qinglian and asked, "What kind of tea does Mrs. Zuo like to drink?" It's better to let Xiao'er bring a pot with you, so as to save yourself from talking dryly for a while. ”
The bitter color on Zuo Qinglian's face stiffened, and she waved her hand and said, "No, you're welcome." ”
Rong Xi was really no longer polite to her, and nodded to Xiao'er, who turned around with a smile on the corner of her mouth and left to change tea.
"Go on." Rong Xi nodded.
Zuo Qinglian's love that had just brewed was disrupted by this process, she couldn't cry if she wanted to, so she simply gritted her teeth and said: "Princess, Qinglian begs you, tell Sister Rong about it, Qinglian doesn't want to fight for anything in the palace, she just wants to ...... can serve the prince well, die peacefully, do not seek fame and fortune, nor seek position, as long as he can guard the prince. Please also ask her to ...... Do not target Qinglian. ”
Rong Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, when she heard Zuo Qinglian say that she was not as smart as other sisters, she understood that Zuo Qinglian was alluding to other women's means, but she herself was simple and kind, and when Rong Qiu was mentioned again, Rong Xi also guessed what she meant.
It's just that...... What does she mean by that?
Rong Xi wouldn't have thought that this Zuo Qinglian was a simple and kind character just now, and if that was the case, he wouldn't have come here to cry and complain to an outsider about fighting in the back house of the Qi Palace.
Did she think that her status in the Ning Wangfu was a fight?
The conjecture is better than confirmation, Rong Xi's fingers tapped lightly on the table, thought about it as if he was contemplative, and said: "Mrs. Zuo, you mean that Rong Qiu often bullies you in the palace, so you came to this princess today, let this princess discipline her, and let her stop bullying you?" ”
Zuo Qinglian originally thought that this was something that could only be understood and unspeakable, but she didn't expect Rong Xi to ask so directly, she hurriedly said: "It's not bullying, Qinglian doesn't dare to mention the word discipline to the princess." ”
"And what exactly are you trying to say?" Rong Xi asked lightly.
