The next day, I didn't go to Renshou Palace, but stayed in my dormitory and waited for Qianping and Jinqiu to come back. www.biquge.info The two of them were sent by me to Concubine Xue and Concubine Yan respectively, and they also had a cup of tea, and it was time to come back.

Just thinking about it, Qianping had arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Qianping, have you made it clear to Concubine Xue?" I asked.

"Well, the slave told the Snow Concubine Niangniang everything according to the princess's explanation." Qianping replied.

"What did Concubine Xue say?"

"Concubine Xue said please rest assured, the princess will come to the Cold Tide Hall on time." I nodded, Qianping has always reassured me about doing things, so as for what to say, I didn't ask about the process in detail.

I looked outside the door, I don't know how Jinqiu is doing, whether everything is going well, I have been gone for so long, it stands to reason that I should have come back with Qianping.

Qianping saw my worries, so she comforted me and said, "Princess, don't worry, Jinqiu is a cautious and measured girl, there shouldn't be any problems, maybe this will already be on the way."

I didn't say anything, I thought I wished.

As he was talking, he saw Jinqiu trotting back from a distance. Jinqiu ran up to me and panted and said, "Princess, Concubine Yan said...... Say"

"Look at you, I'm in a hurry, and I have something to say slowly." I say.

"Yes." Jinqiu nodded in response and continued, "Concubine Yan said that she knew and would come over for dinner. ”

"Why did you go so long?" I asked, Qianping came back early in the morning, not to mention that Concubine Yan's bedroom is relatively close to the Hanxi Palace, so it stands to reason that Jinqiu should come back earlier.

"Back to the princess's words, Concubine Yan asked the slave maid some words, and it was too late to come back." Jinqiu replied.

Sure enough, there was a reason, so I came back late.

"Ao, what did Concubine Yan ask you?" I asked.

"Concubine Yan just asked the slave why she invited her to dinner, and besides her, did you invite anyone else, princess?" Jin Qiu replied seriously one by one.

"And what did you say?" I asked.

Concubine Yan has always been more curious than Concubine Xue, and she also asks for clarity in everything, but Concubine Xue is indifferent and doesn't like to ask the reason.

Jin Qiu replied: "The slaves and maids all said to Concubine Yan according to the princess's explanation that only she and Concubine Xue were invited, and the other slaves and maids didn't say much. After hearing this, Concubine Yan pondered for a moment and didn't ask any more, so she allowed the slave to come back. ”

"Well, I know, you and Qianping go and prepare according to my instructions."

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Qianping and Jinqiu retreated together, without asking me why, just listening to my instructions to do things.

This method is a decision I have made after thinking about it again and again, and I don't know if it is feasible in the end, and many nosy temperaments have prompted me to do so, if the fourth master is here, I don't know if he should say that I am nosy, or follow my will, silently support me by my side, and do what I want to do. But according to my understanding of him, the latter is more likely, counting the past, it seems that there has never been a trace of him saying that I am not, in the eyes of others, I am an enviable fourth princess, a jealous face, a noble royal identity and the love of the lord, but who can understand, I don't care about these, but just want to simply go to the white head with a person, he knows me, I understand him, it's just as simple. Fortunately, I have found what I want in this life, and I only hope that there will be no more twists and turns in the future.

In the Cold Tide Palace, Qianping and Jinqiu have been prepared under my orders, I waited quietly, Concubine Xue and Concubine Yan were one after the other, although the surface was not harmonious, but when they met, they still looked at each other, and they looked at each other, and the etiquette was still indispensable.

Concubine Xue looked at the food on the table, pointed to the food in front of her and said praisefully: "Such a pleasing dish, Bingxi must have put a lot of effort into it today."

I smiled, and when I was about to speak, Concubine Yan took the lead.

She smiled and said: "Not long after returning from the Northern Desert, she still remembered us and prepared food for us, so understanding, no wonder the Queen Mother often chattered about you."

"The two sisters-in-law said and laughed, don't stand, sit down and talk." I beckoned to the two of them.

So, Concubine Xue and Concubine Yan sat on my left and right sides. Concubine Yan took a closer look at the food in front of her, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she pointed and said, "Some of the meals prepared by Bingxi today are not often seen in the palace."

As soon as the words came out, Concubine Xue also looked at it carefully, and saw that I didn't speak. I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is really good eyesight and observant." I pointed to a few dishes in front of me and continued, "These dishes that we have never eaten in the Chu country are from the Northern Desert, when I first ate them, Qianping told me that they were delicious and learned from the cooks in the palace, and it is rare to be able to dine with the two sisters-in-law today, so I asked Qianping to make these different side dishes, and I don't know if the two sisters-in-law like it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Xue hurriedly smiled and said: "Hehe, where, Bingxi is so heartfelt, not to mention that he deliberately made delicious Northern Desert dishes, which are simple home-cooked side dishes, and he is also full of joy, how can he not like it." You see, just looking at the food, I want to move my chopsticks. ”

"It's good that the two sisters-in-law like it, it's rare to get together for dinner today, so they treat the Hanxi Palace as their own bedroom, they are all a family, feel free, come, sister-in-law, how about you taste this dish, Bingxi remembers the first time I ate it, it tasted very good, and later when I wanted to eat it in the palace, I often instructed the kitchen to make this dish." As I spoke, I pointed to a dish closer to her and motioned for her to taste it. Seeing me like this, Xue Fei picked up the chopsticks and put the dish in her mouth, and praised while eating: "Yes, the taste is oily but not greasy, crispy and delicious......" As she was talking, Xue Fei suddenly stopped her voice, looked at me and I looked at the dish again, and asked, "What is the name of this dish?"

"Golden crispy." I replied. "Golden crispy?" Xue Fei muttered, a little thoughtful. Concubine Yan saw that Concubine Xue was full of praise for this crispy golden fragrance and wanted to move her chopsticks. When the chopsticks were about to touch the dish, they were used by Xue Fei

Hit it and blocked it back. "What are you doing here?" Concubine Yan said angrily, and immediately put on a face. I watched as the two of them didn't speak, watching like outsiders what was going to happen next. Concubine Xue didn't answer Concubine Yan, but looked at me and said, "Dare to ask Bingxi, what is this golden crispy incense made of?"

Concubine Xue's ignorance made Concubine Yan even more annoyed at this time, she put down her chopsticks fiercely and snorted coldly. I replied calmly: "This golden crispy dish is mixed with flour with eggs, then wrapped in crab meat and fried in a pan until golden brown, and then mixed with seasoning." After speaking, I saw that Concubine Yan on the side had an ugly face and was lucky, while Concubine Xue was calm and calm.

Concubine Yan hurriedly asked, "This golden crispy fragrance has crab meat?" It seems to be incredulous, and there is a feeling of fear.

I nodded and said, "yes, what's wrong?" Concubine Yan glanced at Concubine Xue with an embarrassed expression on her face.

She explained: "Hongu has been allergic to crab meat since childhood, and if it is eaten by mistake, it will cause a rash on the body for no reason, and it will be itchy and uncomfortable."

"Huh? Look at me, I should make it clear in advance what the two sisters-in-law need to avoid, I am to blame for this, fortunately there is a sister-in-law of Concubine Xue, otherwise if I mistakenly eat the golden crispy fragrance with crab meat, it will be Bingxi's fault. I said apologetically.

Concubine Yan didn't speak.

"This time it's really thanks to Sister-in-law Xuefei." I added.

"Hehe, Bingxi, I just told what I knew, it doesn't matter who he is." Concubine Xue said lightly, not caring at all whether the person opposite was Concubine Yan who was arguing with her on weekdays or someone else.

After this night, I think the Xue Concubine in front of me is not a very unreasonable person, maybe she has been deep in this harem for a long time, and she has changed people more or less, no matter how much she changes, the essence of people may not have completely changed. Sometimes the reason why people fight may be just to fight for a breath, a face, or a concerned look.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The next day after that night, after freshening up and dressing, I was thinking of going to Renshou Hall to greet the imperial grandmother, and I was not very surprised that an uninvited guest came to the Hanxi Palace, I always felt that after that night's meal, she would come to me, but I didn't expect it to be earlier than I thought.

"Sister-in-law came to me today, but is there something?" I asked, not on my lips, but on my heart.

Concubine Xue chuckled and said, "Bingxi doesn't know the purpose of my trip?" I was a little surprised when she said it directly.

"Hehe, is it for last night?" I blurted out that since the other party had already said it directly, wouldn't it be a bit false if I still pretended not to know.

"The princess is really smart, even if she is not in the Chu country, she can be often missed by the queen mother and the emperor, and even the four princes of the Northern Desert are also very fond of her." I don't know if it's a sensitivity of sitting together as a woman, I vaguely feel the sour taste of Concubine Xue saying these words, maybe in their eyes, I am enviable. But this has nothing to do with being smart or not, but whether a person is willing to treat others with sincerity. At the beginning, the fourth master was willing to move me with sincerity, but now I treat it sincerely. Although the imperial grandmother and Brother Huang have a constant blood relationship, if they do not have the mutual understanding and care for each other over the years, I am afraid that this strong blood relationship has long been alienated and will not be as close as it is today.

I said: "If you don't love or not, if you don't care about it, in the final analysis, you don't have to treat people sincerely, the most precious thing in the world is to trust each other and treat them sincerely." If there is no trust between each other, only mutual suspicion remains, and it is not what we want to see, do you say? ”

Concubine Xue's face was slightly gloomy, as if she had an understanding, and after a moment of silence, she stared at me and said: "Bingxi, once upon a time, I also thought like you, but do you know that in this deep palace, there are some things that cannot be done by us, and there are too many things that we can't help ourselves, sometimes we can only watch things happen, but we are powerless." Just like people, once there is a gap between each other, how can they make up for it? ”

I looked at her with a smile, as if the Xue Concubine in front of me at the moment was not as indifferent as she seemed on weekdays, it turned out that everyone had their helpless side, but they disguised themselves with a mask, so it was difficult to see themselves behind the mask.

I said, "Sister-in-law said that it was funny, as the saying goes, things are done by people, if everyone thinks like this, how can things be solved."

"That's why you set up last night's banquet and try to reconcile me and Concubine Yan?" Concubine Xue said unabashedly, I think, this is the purpose of her coming to my Cold Tide Hall today.

I smiled and said: "I can't hide anything from my sister-in-law, since my sister-in-law knows it in her heart, then I have nothing to hide, that's right, the reason why I did that is to solve your conflict, even if there is a gap, as long as you try your best to remedy it, one day it will slowly heal, it is better than not doing nothing." Although I don't have a channel with my sister-in-law, I can see from my words and deeds on weekdays that my sister-in-law is not a person who causes trouble out of nothing. "I started from the royal brother's side, and I knew it, but I just hoped that she would understand.

After I finished speaking, she looked at me in a daze, with some suspicion and strangeness in her eyes, she said: "It seems that in these days in the Northern Desert, you have changed a lot, you used to be straightforward and casual, like a child and unrestrained, now you will consider others when you look at the problem, but the contradictions between me and Concubine Yan are accumulated over time, I am afraid that I have a heart, but others have no intention." She sighed softly, helplessness in her voice.

"As far as I know, you and Concubine Yan were also intimate at the beginning, and they talked about everything, and the reason for the discord was because they ate the snacks you made, which caused a rash and itching, and they were extremely embarrassed in front of the imperial brother, so they resented you." I said, what was the truth of the original incident, whether it was Concubine Xue who deliberately made Concubine Yan ugly in front of the king as others said, or is there something unspeakable, I am afraid that the one who can solve the doubts in my heart is the Concubine Xue in front of me. She smiled bitterly when she heard this, and she said, "Since everyone else thinks so, why should I say more." "What if I don't?" I hurriedly said, "There must be a misunderstanding in this, right?" "I'd rather it be a misunderstanding than suspect that Concubine Xue is such a person, my feelings tell me that she is not. She is a person who does not like to explain, I think, when something like this happened, others thought it was her fault, and she explained in vain, so she chose to remain silent.

She looked at me silently, her eyes moistened, and she was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke: "You are different from them, since you believe me, okay, I will tell you." At the beginning, Concubine Yan ate the dim sum I made, and the reason why she had a rash was because I knew that the emperor liked to eat crab meat, so I took the trouble to make a snack mixed with crab meat foam, and sent the palace maid around me to send it to the emperor. ”

It turns out that the whole thing is like this, it seems that everyone has misunderstood Concubine Xue, but she doesn't like to explain, how can she not have a misunderstanding.

"If Concubine Yan knew the truth about this matter, she would also forgive your sister-in-law." I say that as long as it is not intentional, it is not unforgivable.

Seeing that Concubine Xue was silent, I motioned for Qianping to bring out the person behind the screen. Xue Fei looked at the man in surprise.
