Mrs. Liang raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Xia a little overwhelmed, but Xiao Xia was extremely enthusiastic: "Mother, when did you come?" Why don't you let me know in advance, I'll be ready to come out and see you sooner? ”

Mrs. Liang didn't answer, she still looked at Xiao Xia in a daze, and her face was a little strange.

Xiao Xia paused, not understanding why Mrs. Liang reacted so much? Don't...... She doesn't recognize me anymore? Or was I too enthusiastic to scare her? No way?

Fortunately, Gui Ying whispered a reminder in her ear: "Niangniang, this is the first time that Madame has heard you call her mother!" ”

Xiao Xia immediately reacted, by the way, she was a mute before, although she was close to Mrs. Liang, she never spoke, let alone called her mother, and now that she can suddenly talk when they meet again, she must be scared!

Xiao Xia smiled and took Mrs. Liang's hand and said softly: "Mother, I'm Xiao Xia, I can speak, I can finally call you mother, aren't you happy?" ”

Mrs. Liang reacted at this time, her face was red and white, "This ...... I...... The concubine didn't dare, the concubine ...... The concubine is so surprised, Niangniang, you ...... Would you have been able to speak? ”

Xiao Xia smiled and took Mrs. Liang to sit down: "Mother, it's a long story, there are no outsiders here, don't worry about those vulgar courtesies, come, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

Xiao Xia briefly told Mrs. Liang what she had prepared for a long time, and Mrs. Liang sighed after listening: "I see, no wonder I heard that most people who are born unable to speak can't hear, it is difficult to learn conversational literacy, and they can't pronounce words.

Natsu-chan...... No. Concubine Niangniang, it was the concubine who was negligent at the beginning, if you asked a famous doctor to help you diagnose and treat it earlier. Maybe you can speak a long time ago, so that you don't have to be wronged as a side concubine when you marry the third prince, then your current status will definitely be able to go to the next level, alas, it was the concubine who mistook you! ”

Seeing Mrs. Liang's self-reproachful appearance, Xiao Xia was a little surprised, she had never thought about the world. Mrs. Liang thinks too much! Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and this kind of talk will be heard by people who are afraid that it will not be clear.

Xiao Xia glanced at Gui Ying, and Gui Ying understood. Bring all the maids in the palace out, and leave Guifang and Guixiang to serve and pass the word.

Mrs. Liang is an understanding person, seeing Gui Ying nodding with satisfaction, she turned to Xiao Xia and said, "Don't worry." The emperor loves you. I intended to make you the queen, if it weren't for ......"

Mrs. Liang paused slightly, glanced at Xiao Xia, and changed the topic: "That's it, you just returned to the palace, so don't mention this matter for the time being." Xiao Xia, where have you been for the past two months? Do you know how worried your mother is? ”

Xiao Xia smiled, "It's my daughter who is not filial." Let the mother worry! It's just that...... The daughter is ashamed of the old lady, I don't know...... Is the father still blaming his daughter now? ”

"Alas. How so? The old lady's affairs have been clarified, it was all done by the snake-fatale-hearted Su Linglong, it has nothing to do with you, Su Linglong was unreasonable to you when he sent you home, your father also asked me to apologize to you, don't go to your heart, we are still a family, ah! ”

Xiao Xia paused slightly, smiled awkwardly, she knew Liang Guogong's temperament, how could that arrogant old man apologize to such a little girl, Mrs. Liang said casually, help Liang Guogong grow his face, leave a good impression on himself, and help Liang Guogong speak in the future.

This made Xiao Xia's original heart that wanted to be close to Mrs. Liang suddenly a little estranged, after all, now the identity is different, once interests are involved, even those who are close will have scruples, now that he is useful to the Liang Mansion, he is no longer just a little girl who lives in the house, even Mrs. Liang has to be careful and deliberately curry favor with herself?

Alas, it's boring!

Xiao Xia lowered her eyebrows and slowly shook the teacup while thinking, Mrs. Liang's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, you have been away from the capital for two months, and many major events have happened in the capital, even so, the emperor is thinking about you, and he sends someone to visit us in the house every day, saying that he is visiting but actually wants to inquire about your news."

The emperor's status is noble, but he is so attentive to you, it is very rare, you must not live up to the emperor's heart, serve the emperor well, if you can give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible, it is the best......"

Mrs. Liang seemed to be caring, Xiao Xia lowered her head and listened, nodding from time to time in response, this situation seemed to return to the situation when Xiao Xia couldn't speak and curry favor with Mrs. Liang in the Liang Mansion.

Alas, the identity is reversed, the content is similar, but the tone of speech is completely different, seeing that Mrs. Liang deliberately wants to get close but is cautious, for fear of committing a taboo, Xiao Xia is very uncomfortable, she looked at it in her eyes but didn't say anything, just looked at Ying with a smile, until a burst of giggles suddenly came from outside the door:

"Oh, I heard that Jintian's favorite concubine has woken up, and the sun is shining today, why do you always shrink in the house and don't come out to see people? Could it be that we old women were scared? ”

Guilan hurriedly came in to report: "Guifei Niangniang, Concubine Shi is here with a few concubines from the former dynasty and Princess Anping!" ”

Before Guilan could speak, she saw a beautiful palace concubine who was richly dressed and well-maintained, and looked no more than thirty years old, with a woman in a dress.

The leader happened to be known to Xiao Xia, wasn't he the former emperor Concubine De, who was high up at the beginning? As soon as the first emperor passed away, it was time to change the name to the concubine, but shouldn't the concubines of the former emperor all live in isolation without makeup? Even if Concubine De is noble and can walk, she shouldn't dress up like this, right?

And what about the group of fragrant warblers behind her, what about Yanyan?

Xiao Xia quickly swept a group, and finally fixed on a woman on the left side of Concubine De who was dressed in emerald green palace clothes and looked beautiful, this is also an old acquaintance, Su Lingman, who was still called her cousin at the beginning, why did she come too?

While Xiao Xia looked at everyone, everyone's eyes were all focused on her, and everyone wanted to know what kind of divine could make the new emperor dizzy, and he didn't even want to be drafted?

To tell the truth, the emperor has been on the throne for two months, and the government has long been stable, and according to the convention, it should be a large-scale sea election to fill the harem and open up branches for the royal family as soon as possible.

But the new emperor has been holding on to it, and only accepted a few daughters of important ministers into the palace, and casually sealed a title that is not up or down. But none of them were lucky, which made the imperial court and harem speculate, and some people even wondered if there was something wrong with the emperor.

Until the return of this concubine. Everyone found out that the emperor already had a heart, so everyone was very interested in Xiao Xia and wanted to see how charming she was? Now that you see it with your own eyes, that's all!

Concubine Shi looked at Xiao Xia carefully, and smiled generously: "Presumably this is the emperor's concubine, it's called ...... What's going on? ”

Mrs. Liang hurriedly stood up: "Greetings to Concubine Shi." ”

Concubine Shi seemed to see Mrs. Liang at this time: "Oh? The Duchess is also there? It's really rare, I heard that the concubine returned to the palace. The palace came to the door a few times, just like seeing what the emperor's sweetheart looked like, but he ate several closed doors in a row. Mrs. Liang. You have more face than this palace! ”

Concubine Shi seemed to be smiling, but the weight of her words was not light, which was obviously blaming Xiao Xia for being pampered and arrogant, and she had just returned to the palace and relied on the emperor's favor to not even see her elders. Originally, Xiao Xia should have said goodbye to the elders first. Since Xiao Xia didn't go, they came to the door first, saying that it was to save face for the concubine, but in fact, they also meant to blame Xiao Xia.

Mrs. Liang understood this at a glance, she was afraid that Xiao Xia would not understand what Concubine Shi meant, so she secretly turned her head sideways to give Xiao Xia a look.

Xiao Xia stood up and nodded to Concubine Shi but did not salute, and said with a smile on her face: "Thank you Concubine Shi for coming to visit, not long after returning to the palace, I slept for two days." I really don't know about the concubine's door, and I ask the concubine to forgive me. ”

Concubine Shi twitched the corner of her eye. But he still walked over with a smile, "Those who don't know are not guilty, it's just that you saw Mrs. Liang before you saw this palace, which made this palace a little jealous!" ”

Xiao Xia glanced at Mrs. Liang, smiled at Mrs. Liang and turned back: "This is the mother of the palace, and the mother came to the palace just woke up, so I saw you first!" ”

Concubine Shi paused slightly, and then made a surprised expression: "What? The concubine is the daughter of Mrs. Liang? Didn't you say that the concubine was adopted by the lord of Duankang? Am I mistaken? ”

Xiao Xia was stunned when she heard this, looked back at Mrs. Liang, saw that her face was frighteningly white, and then looked back at Concubine Shi, just to see a smile flashing in her eyes, and the group of warblers and warblers who came with Concubine Shi also seemed to have a joke expression, Xiao Xia realized that she was being teased by Concubine Shi!

It's not that she doesn't know that Mrs. Liang is her stepmother, on the contrary, she knows very well, and even knows everything about the past of the Liang Mansion, she deliberately canceled her life experience, and by the way, she humiliated Mrs. Liang:

Don't think that if you pick up a daughter and send it to the emperor, it will be unbelievable, no matter how you spoil this woman is not your own, your own man can't handle it, don't want to meddle in other things.

Xiao Xia suddenly felt that this Concubine Shi was not good, and there was also this group of warblers and warblers Yanyan who were dressed up in fancy clothes, all of them looked young and beautiful, and they were knowledgeable, except for Su Lingman, other people seemed to have an impression......

By the way, I have seen a few at the banquets in various mansions in the capital, could it be that these are the concubines that Feng Jintian newly accepted into the palace?

Xiao Xia was a little panicked in her heart, she suppressed the feelings in her heart, and made a gesture to Concubine Shi: "Concubine Xie, please take a seat!" ”

"Concubine, please take a seat!"

Concubine Shi said politely, and sat down on the top seat, Xiao Xia sat opposite her, and Concubine Shi beckoned a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl to come over and say hello to Xiao Xia:

"Guifei, this is my daughter Anping, who has been with Jintian since she was a child...... Oh, no, it's the emperor, look at me, I'm used to it, I always forget to change my words, fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise maybe you will have to treat me for a crime of disrespect, hehe! ”

"Mother, what's wrong? The third brother loves me the most, as long as I tell the third brother, he will definitely not! ”

Concubine Shi smiled and beckoned: "Anping, come, please give your imperial sister-in-law a farewell." ”

An Ping stared at Xiao Xia up and down, and her mouth was raised high: "Mother, she is not the imperial sister-in-law, my third brother is the emperor, the imperial sister-in-law should be the queen, she is not the queen, what qualifications do you have to be my imperial sister-in-law?" Let alone...... I used to be a dumb person! ”

"Anping, don't talk nonsense!" Concubine Shi reprimanded with a straight face, and then said to Xiao Xia with a smile: "Alas, Anping is spoiled by this palace, this mouth always has to be unforgiving, concubine, you won't bother with him as a little girl, right?" ”

Xiao Xia smiled: "What's wrong?" Royal sister, please be seated! ”

An Ping glanced at Xiao Xia, snorted lightly, and sat beside Concubine Shi by himself.

Xiao Xia didn't mind, her eyes swept to the rest of the women, and Concubine Shi said:

"Oh, concubine, these are the sisters who are serving the emperor with you, most of them have not been in the palace for a long time, you have to mention them more in the future, and if you do something wrong, you will be reprimanded and punished, before the queen officially enters the palace, you have to bear these things!

You all say hello to the concubine! ”

A group of beauties walked in front of Xiao Xia and lined up neatly, saluting in unison, and before Xiao Xia could speak, Concubine Shi waved her hand: "Okay, there are sisters on the left and right, let's take their seats!" ”

When everyone sat down one after another, Concubine Shi admonished again, as if this was her own palace, and then the concubines introduced themselves and gave gifts to Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia was unprepared, and she couldn't return the gift, so she could only accept it with a smile, and secretly gave Gui Ying a look, Gui Ying nodded and retreated.

What is the status of other people Xiao Xia is not very interested, when it was Su Lingman's turn, I saw her bow her head and slowly stand up and said timidly: "Concubine Su Lingman, the daughter of the eldest son of the Su family, the servant of the eastern part of the city, is fortunate to be favored by the emperor and won the title of concubine, please ask the concubine Niangniang for guidance." ”

Concubines? Remember that when the emperor was there, Su Lingman was just a little beauty, right? Later, she was finally promoted to a nobleman, and now she is suddenly a concubine, Feng Jintian is really good to her, I am afraid that there are few concubines who can get the title, she is a special case.

Xiao Xia understood in her heart but didn't ask much, but when Su Lingman introduced herself, the atmosphere around her was obviously a little stiff, and it seemed that the group of warblers around her were not very willing to get close to her.

Also, a concubine with a humble status and a declining family, entered the palace with the help of her grandfather's light, and served the emperor for more than a year and can still be looked down upon by the new emperor, there must be something wrong with this woman, who dares to get close to her?

Let alone...... Everyone knows that the Liang family and the Su family fell out, this Su Lingman is from the Su family, but the concubine is from the Liang Guogong Mansion, can the two of them get together? Who believes! Just take her to explore this concubine's temperament and bottom line, and it will be easy to deal with in the future, right?

Su Lingman stood with her head down, she didn't hear the concubine speak for a long time, even Concubine Shi didn't speak, the eyes of the people around her who looked at the joke pierced her like knives all over her body, if she could, she wanted to dig a crack in the ground and get in.

But she can't, she loves the new emperor and is willing to do anything for him, there is only one condition, stay by the new emperor's side, fortunately, the new emperor has fulfilled his promise, originally thought that she was really bitter and happy, and she could live a good life in the future, who knew that the trouble had just begun.

Everyone looks down on me, laughs at my background, and dislikes me for serving the emperor, but that's not something I can control, and now the emperor loves the concubine, and the concubine's family is incompatible with my mother's family, how can I deal with myself? (To be continued.) )
