The banquet was held in the palace of Wei Guifei, the vermilion palace gate, with a golden bowl mouth and a large copper nail on it, the palace gate was wide open left and right, many palace maids and eunuchs were busy in the courtyard, and a lush adult sycamore was planted in the courtyard, Rong Xi couldn't help but smile faintly when he saw the tall sycamore tree.

The phoenix falls into the sycamore, and this Wei Guifei's intention can be seen.

"Princess, please wait a moment, the old slave will go back to Niangniang." The lady in charge said, turned around and walked into the hall, there was not much time, and then turned around and came out again, "Princess, it's really unfortunate, Niangniang got the emperor's command, and I'll be back later, please go into the palace to rest for a while." ”

"It's okay," Rong Xi nodded, I didn't see the other guests in this courtyard, presumably they hadn't arrived yet, maybe Wei Guifei had something to tell herself, so that others arrived a little late.

The trunk of the sycamore tree was thick, and there was a room behind the tree, so Rong Xi said, "This princess will rest there for a while." ”

"Yes." The lady in charge didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led Rong Xi in, and told the other little palace maids not to talk much about Princess Ning's early arrival, and to talk to the princess when she came back in a while.

The little palace maids naturally said yes again and again, just do their own work, don't dare to say a word, take a look at it.

Rong Xi walked into the room, this room is not big, it doesn't look like a person who usually lives there, but it is also very clean and refreshing, there is a faint aroma in the incense ding in the corner, she smelled it carefully, it is a little sweet, but it can stabilize the mind, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Seeing her eyes fall on the incense ding, the lady in charge gave a salute and said: "Back to the princess, the incense in this is Lotus Luo, sweet and elegant, able to calm people's minds and stabilize their thoughts," she paused, and said in a slightly lower voice: "All the things today are only allowed to enter this Xianggong by the Niangniang, you can rest assured." ”

Rong Xi smiled secretly in her heart, in this other world, except for Leng Yixiu, so far, there is really no one who can make her fully trust, not to mention Wei Guifei, who has no real mother-son relationship, but her smile is gentle, "Mother has a heart." ”

Seeing her say this, the lady in charge was somewhat comforted in her heart, "I don't know what else the princess needs, the old slave goes down to prepare." ”

"No need," Rong Xi waved his hand, "Mama has also worked hard for a long time, so you might as well take a break for a while." ”

The lady in charge said that she just wanted to find a way to get out, she still had a lot of things to do, people have already brought it, and the words have been brought, what is the use of being here again?

However, Rong Xi didn't mean to let her leave, but let her rest here together, what does this mean?

The lady in charge felt that her thinking was a little out of line today, and she couldn't keep up with Rong Xi's jump.

The room was quiet, and the sound of the sycamore leaves swaying in the breeze could be heard, and the rustling sound was in the ears, like a song of autumn prologue, and the golden sunlight fell on the window, flowing in through the cracks, with a faint warmth, and the fragrance of the corner of the house rose, changing shapes lightly and lightly.

It's quiet, so quiet that you want to fall asleep.

The lady in charge is a little anxious, time has passed not a short time, why hasn't Wei Guifei come back yet? She only felt that it was difficult to stay for a moment longer at this time, I don't know why, it is said that there are not many women in this palace who are higher than Rong Xi's status, and there are not a few people who have the prestige of the master, but she has never felt this way.

Rong Xi sat there quietly, but the pressure from her was approaching layer by layer, silent and invisible, but it was impossible to ignore.

The mother's breathing tightened again and again, and this invisible coercion almost made her breathless.

Suddenly, there were footsteps outside, and the voice of a woman talking.

"The concubine Zuo Liu brought her little girl to greet the concubine Niangniang," the woman's voice was soft and sweet, like hot sugar, which made people's ears seem to be sweetened.

Rong Xi turned his head to look out the window, the shadows of the trees swayed, and only two hazy shadows could be seen.

"Mrs. Huizuo, the concubine is not in the palace at this time, the emperor has just sent an edict, please go to the concubine." The little maid replied.

"I see," Zuo Liu said: "The noble concubine is deeply liked and valued by the emperor, and it is natural to explain a few more words about such an important matter today, it doesn't matter, Mrs. Ben will wait here." ”

"Yes." The little palace maid said that, moved two chairs and invited them to sit down, and went about her own business.

When the lady in charge heard that there were guests outside, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to salute Rong Xi, Rong Xi stretched out her hand to block her, pointed outside, and shook her head.

The lady in charge was stunned, and footsteps were already heard outside again.

"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Zuo? Who should I be, and how did I come so early? The woman's voice was delicate, but there was a faint disdain when she listened closely.

"Cai Ya, I didn't expect you to come," it was Zuo Qinglian who spoke, and there was a bit of condescending posture in her tone.

"Why can't I come?" Cai Ya asked rhetorically, "I just don't know if you are here today as the second lady of the Zuo family, or as the concubine of the Qi Palace?" ”

"What is Miss Ben's identity, and you still need to care? What kind of family are you? There was a little anger in Zuo Qinglian's voice, sharp like an ice blade cutting through the air.

"Miss Ben?" Cai Ya was stunned for a moment, and then covered her lips with her hand and laughed "giggle", her laughter was abrupt and sounded a little crazy, "Why don't you say that this concubine?" So, you're here as a Zuo family? ”

"Mrs. Ben only hears the name of this young lady and is familiar to her," Mrs. Zuo slowly straightened out the ruby earrings in her ear, and the brilliance of the gemstone bloomed between her fingers, "Looking at the appearance of the young lady, I can't remember which young lady is coming, this time I will remember, the young lady is the niece of Lord Qiu, right?" ”

She paused, her eyes flashed slightly, she raised her hand and pressed her mouth with a handkerchief, and her voice came from under Jinpa, "I heard that you grew up in Qiu Mansion, your mother...... When he was in the boudoir, he eloped with someone.,As a result, I was down-and-out and had to come back to beg my mother's family.,Lord Qiu is also a pity for his sister.,So I took in your mother and daughter.,I don't know...... The little girl who was taken in by the Autumn Mansion back then, but you? ”

Rong Xi listened to it in the room, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, this Mrs. Zuo is really worthy of being a good hand among women, scolding people and exposing shortcomings, and picking up those facts that cannot be changed to scold, this kind of praise shook out the life experience of that Miss Cai, her tone was light, but the words were like poisonous needles, and she was really vicious.

Cai Ya's breathing was stagnant, and the most taboo thing for her was that others mentioned her life experience, but now that she was mentioned by Mrs. Zuo, she was still in front of so many palace women, where did she put her face?

Today's opportunity is also cherished by her, these years in the Qiu Mansion life is difficult, sometimes not as good as a minion, has been waiting for a chance to turn over, a few days ago I don't know how my uncle suddenly found out about his conscience, actually gave herself such an opportunity, she was about to go crazy with joy.

I didn't think about it, but I actually ......

She suppressed the anger in her eyes, smiled coldly and said: "Hmph, yes, Miss Ben is blessed, and she can't complain about having such a background, unlike Miss Zuo, in the end, she is trained by your mother, even if she is a concubine of the Qi Palace, she is doing well." ”

"You ......" Zuo Qinglian was angry when she heard it, the pain in her heart was also her current identity in the Qi Palace, and she came today as Miss Zuo, not because she was a concubine in the Qi Palace, but because the meaning of the King of Qi's words was very clear, today is a matter of importance, in case...... What happened is cuò, it is also the business of Zuofu, not about the Qi Palace.

He...... Even such an identity is in a hurry to be removed from her body, she is not cold, but he said that if today's matter is done, he will fulfill his promise in the past, and the position of side concubine will still be given to her.

For this position, she also has to fight, otherwise, she may not even have the last chance in her life.

Mrs. Zuo also hated others the most when she mentioned her previous identity as a Qinglou woman, and the meaning of Cai Ya's words was clearly alluding to this floor, she got up from the chair and was about to refute, only to hear someone say: "Why is it so lively?" ”

Everyone looked towards the voice, only to see a woman in a water-red riding uniform standing there pretty, her black hair tied up, buckled with a golden crown, without superfluous decorations, adding a bit more heroic, her eyebrows were thick, and a pair of eyes were more black and white, extremely spiritual, as bright as two pieces of black jade.

She has wrist guards on her cuffs, a crimson belt around her waist, inlaid with mutton fat jade in the center, a crystal and moist jade pendant hanging from her waist, long tassels swinging with her movements, and her trouser legs are tucked into a pair of black fast boots, which are embroidered with silver-gray threads, although they are not cumbersome but they reveal a sense of luxury.

The women present all grew up in the backyard of the deep house, and they had never seen anything else, but they had seen a lot of good things, and although they saw that this woman was not dressed up, any random thing on her body was not ordinary.

Especially her demeanor is calm, and the calmness between her eyebrows and eyes is not pretended, this is everyone's demeanor.

Mrs. Zuo's brain was spinning quickly, she immediately changed her appearance, smiled slightly, and said, "I don't know if this young lady is ......"

"In Xia Rong Bingjin, I just came from Dongjiang a few days ago, I don't know how many people are called?" Her gaze wandered and her posture was steady, especially when she mentioned that her surname was Rong and she was still from Dongjiang, these two points made Mrs. Zuo breathe a sigh in her heart.

Dongjiang Rongjia!

Rong Xi's eyes also narrowed slightly, Rong Bingjin came from Eastern Xinjiang...... Presumably this is the handiwork of the fourth prince, he knew that this time Dabi Dazhao lacked a candidate, so he found one from the Rong family, it seems that his previous trip to Dongjiang was not in vain.
