The Guerlain Palace.

The quiet sound of the piano is like flowing water pouring out of her fingertips, and she doesn't know when she hasn't been as free as she is now, although the emperor doesn't summon herself very much, and he doesn't pay much attention to herself.

It's just that the imperial concubine has been grounded for more than a month, and her own life has become embarrassing because of this, and there is a ring-like laughter in the distance, as if it came from outside the palace, could it be that the imperial concubine has been lifted?

Not long after, a palace maid came in and reported: "Master, Xin Wanrong is here." ”

Xin Wanrong? I don't know what Xin Wanrong has? Yan Qiu beside him prompted: "Master, it is the cousin of the imperial concubine, Ning,"

Concubine Yao turned her head and was about to say something, when she saw a tall woman standing in front of her with a kind smile, her demeanor was elegant, her eyes were as smart as spring water, she looked very standard, and her eyebrows were similar to the imperial concubine, but she was gentle and lovely, completely missing the free and easy nature of the imperial concubine.

After the salute, Concubine Yao smiled and asked if she was still comfortable in the palace, and Xin Wanrong said with a smile: "Naturally, it is good, and the sisters get along very well." ”

Concubine Yao nodded, and instructed Yan Qiu to serve tea and melon seeds: "We don't have to go outside in the palace, we should pay attention to everything, we should be careful in everything, don't have the heart of harming people, and don't lose the heart of guarding against people." ”

Xin Wanrong listened to Concubine Yao say this, and couldn't help lowering her face, revealing a little sadness: "It's still Concubine Yao's little master who loves Wan'er, so she will think of suing Sù Wan'er." ”

As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and his slaves and maids were indignant: "If it weren't for Yue Wanrong, I'm afraid those slaves and maids would have turned the sky upside down." ”

Concubine Yao raised her lips slightly, with a little apology: "It turns out that my sister is here for Yue Wanrong, and the reason why Yue Wanrong was reprimanded by the queen and punished for copying the palace rules is because what Yue Wanrong did was really inappropriate." If there is no queen to preside over the harem, it may be a different situation, not to mention, the queen is fair, although the imperial concubine has been grounded, but there is no mistreatment of the imperial concubine's food and clothing. ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little weird, the charcoal fire on the stove was boiling hot, and the water in the red sandalwood teapot was obviously boiling, and it even came out, flowing down the body of the pot, pouring on the hot charcoal and making a sizzling sound. It was a long time before the maid went to bring the pot down.

"Since Concubine Yao has no intention of helping, Wan'er will retire." Obviously, Xin Wanrong was angry, the smile on her lips was reluctant, her eyebrows were tightly frowned, the maid on the side helped her up, and the master and servant left the Guerlain Hall like this.

Concubine Yao drank tea slowly, her eyes were full of coldness: "The cousin of the imperial concubine? Do you really think that with this layer of aura, you can dictate to people? ”

Yan Qiu held the freshly cooked porridge: "Master, this is the lily porridge made by the slave maid herself, can you taste it first?" ”

When Concubine Yao saw Yan Qiu coming, her eyebrows raised: "The emperor has been in the incense hall for the past few days?" ”

Yan Qiu didn't speak, put the porridge on the table, and said: "No, the emperor has not summoned any concubines in the past few days, even the new concubines have not been favored, probably the emperor is still depressed about the affairs of the imperial concubine." ”

Concubine Yao smiled lightly, with contempt: "The emperor's favor to Ning Guiyi is the favor of the third prince, and now that the imperial concubine has lost power, I am afraid that she will not be able to make a comeback this time." ”

Yan Qiu didn't know what she meant, and Concubine Yao smiled: "Do you hate the palace's harsh criticism of Qi'er that caused Qi'er to throw herself into the well, it's really unfortunate to say." was originally a lowly person, but she wanted to live proudly, and there were countless people in the palace who wanted her to die, the first one was Ning Guiyi, but the concubine thought to herself that the queen should also be the one who really wanted Qi'er to die. ”

Yan Qiu's face darkened, and she was ashamed in her heart: "I heard that the queen buried her cousin's body in Qinghualing, does the master know?" ”

Yao Concubine smiled slightly: "This concubine bought those who collected the body, they didn't bury her in Qinghualing, but I heard that there is a mountain villa in the east of Qinghualing, and there is a piece of land behind the village, right there, if you don't believe it, you can check it yourself." ”

Yan Qiu buried his head and said softly, "Thank you for your master." ”

Concubine Yao laughed lightly: "You are the slave of this concubine, this concubine naturally believes in you, don't let this concubine down." ”

As she spoke, Concubine Yao picked up the celadon and white flower porridge bowl, dug some lightly with a spoon, tasted it carefully, but it was not bad, and put down the porridge bowl: "Wait a minute, send a bowl to our Jing Shuyi, Jing Shuyi has been worrying about the affairs of the imperial concubine all day long, and this lily porridge is even more suitable for her appetite." ”

Yan Qiufu: "Yes, master." ”

Ning Wan'er touched a nail here with Concubine Yao, and she was not discouraged, thinking that if she could speak in front of the queen, only Ning Guiyi would be the only one who could speak, thinking of this, she walked to the Incense Palace. On the palace road, the spring flowers have been blooming, the tender yellow petals are like elves opening their small mouths greedily sucking the dew brought by spring, the willow trees have sprouted, and sometimes two or three swallows fly by, which is very elegant.

Obviously, she was not in the mood to enjoy these scenes, and the maid Ming'er on the side said: "If our imperial concubine is here, Yue Wanrong's affairs will definitely be able to help, after all, the imperial concubine is the mother of the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's second son, and she is favored by the emperor in the palace." ”

Wan'er showed a little worry: "That was before, not to mention relying on the power of the imperial concubine. You see Concubine Yao just now, although she is under the wings of the imperial concubine, she clearly does not look at this concubine in her eyes. If the imperial concubine had not been grounded, she Yao Concubine would dare to speak like this. If it weren't for the imperial concubine to raise Hexing, she Yao Concubine would probably still have to live in the remote Yutai Pavilion. ”

Ming'er asked again: "Then why didn't the master go to ask Jing Shuyi, I heard that Jing Shuyi is a good person, and her popularity in the palace is also very good." ”

Wan'er smiled coldly: "A concubine born as a slave, even if he is a concubine, what can he be a concubine?" Only the family power behind him is the foundation of the foothold. This concubine went to beg her, which was to devalue her identity. ”

Ming'er nodded plausibly: "Yes, the slave understands." ”

In this way, the master and servant came to the outside of the incense hall. Xin Wanrong said to the attendant guarding the door: "This concubine is the Yikun Palace Xin Wanrong Ning clan, please go to Ning Guiyi." ”

But he saw that the waiter glanced at him and didn't answer, Xin Wanrong saw this and frowned: "Ming'er." ”

Ming'er reluctantly took out a few golden melon seeds, and the waiter immediately took them when she saw them, and smiled flatteringly: "Xin Wanrong wait a minute, the slave will go to Tongyu." ”

Ming'er's mouth pouted angrily: "Master, you are really generous." ”

Xin Wanrong said with relief: "This is the palace. ”

After a while, the chamberlain came out of the room, his face full of contempt: "Xin Wanrong, Ning Guiyi is unwell, and it is not suitable to see guests." ”

Ming'er had long been uncomfortable by this popularity, and immediately exploded: "You, you...... Our master is the cousin of the imperial concubine......"

Xin Wanrong was afraid of what she was saying, so she hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and tugged at it: "Okay, Ning Guiyi doesn't want to see her, let's go." ”

The master and servant turned around, and the servant whispered behind him: "Hmph, isn't our master unwilling to see her just because she is the cousin of the imperial concubine." ”

The other chamberlain smiled: "That's it, I don't know how many pounds and taels I have......"
