The absent-minded Xiao Xia immediately stood up and rushed out when she heard the news, Gui Ying and Gui Lan hurriedly stopped her: "Niangniang, where are you going?" ”

"She's here, I'm going to confirm with my own eyes."

"Niangniang, they are still at the gate of the palace, there are a lot of routine inspections along the way, and they won't be there for a while, not to mention that you also need to change your clothes and make up, do you want to see her like this?"

Xiao Xia looked down and saw that Feng Jintian hadn't come in the past few days, Xiao Xia was too lazy to dress up, so she wore a home-style cloth skirt, her hair was simply pulled up, and she didn't even bother to wear too many hair accessories, so as not to be heavy and cumbersome.

Yes, Su Linglong, this woman is the most jealous, looking at her current dress, she thinks that she is depressed in the palace, and she will definitely be able to make her happy for a while.

Isn't she fond of vanity? I think that's all she wanted to get when she did so many things, heh, the mechanism is all over, it's empty, and she wants to start over again without learning a lesson, no way, I just want her to see my current beautiful days, and make him crazy with jealousy.

Xiao Xia pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, Gui Ying, you are right, I want to dress up well and take out all the precious jewelry rewarded by the emperor, let's pick one well, dress up in a fancy way, and blind her dog eyes!" ”

Xiao Xia walked to the dresser as she spoke, several maids looked at each other and smiled, and Guixiang touched a stack of boxes from the wardrobe: "Niangniang, this is a tribute only a few days ago, I heard that they are all first-class beautiful jewelry in the world, and it is rare to have a second one in the world." ”

Xiao Xia didn't look at it: "Put it away, put it on for me in a while, right." Gui Fang, you go to the imperial study. See if the emperor is busy, if he is not busy, please come and sit down. ”

Gui Fang paused. Blinked and said, "Niangniang, do you want the slave to invite the emperor?" ”

"Yes, now."

"But...... But ......"

"You just said that I made a pot of tea here, and I want to invite the emperor to come over and taste it."

"Yes, the slave knows!" Gui Fangfu withdrew, and Gui Xiang said: "Niangniang, you can think of the emperor, the emperor hasn't come to our palace for several days." ”

Xiao Xia pursed her lips and didn't speak, looking at herself in the mirror in a daze. Although it has been a long time since she put on this face, Xiao Xia still feels a little trance, Su Linglong's appearance before is still in her mind, every time she is not careful, she always has a strange feeling when she sees herself in the mirror when she looks in the mirror.

She gently stroked her face with one hand, in fact, this face was much more dexterous and fairy than Su Linglong's face before, but it was a little less naughty and a little more sad.

It is said that the face is born from the heart, is it that I am still sad about the previous things in my heart. Still reluctant to him?

"Niangniang, what do you think of this hairstyle? Empress? ”

Xiao Xia came back to his senses, raised his eyelids, and saw that his head was full of pearls and hairpins like singing a big opera. Compare this watery and dusty face, how to look at it and how it doesn't match.

Xiao Xia didn't speak, and Gui Ying and Gui Lan watched for a long time. Shaking his head, he said, "No, it's too cheesy." Niangniang is still not suitable to wear too much jewelry, or Niangniang. How about picking up a few unique and precious ones to wear? ”

Xiao Xia smiled knowingly, but Guixiang, who offered the treasure, was very distressed when she saw that so many beautiful jewelry could not be used, and she was reluctant to put it away.

They had just finished dressing up, and there was a message from the palace maid outside that Mrs. Liang was already waiting outside.

Xiao Xia replied lightly: "Let them wait for a while!" ”

Then she changed a few sets of clothes unhurriedly, and estimated that it took a quarter of an hour or so before she walked unhurriedly to the front hall with the support of a few maids.

When Mrs. Liang received the news from the palace, she still couldn't believe it when she heard that the concubine wanted her to bring Guo Lanxiang into the palace, and asked the messenger several times to confirm that it was so, but she was still puzzled for several days.

She was secretly observing Guo Lanxiang all the way, compared to Yu Xiangxiang's unreliable jumping, this Guo Lanxiang was just the opposite, gentle and quiet, obedient and obedient, and had been sitting motionless with her head half-up, not curious or asking questions, so that Mrs. Liang didn't know how to say a few words to her?

And all the way after entering the palace, Guo Lanxiang also behaved very well, how to do and how to salute wherever she went, she did a good job without reminding her, and she couldn't see that she was a little nervous and curious.

In the huge palace, how many times has Mrs. Liang come, and occasionally she will peek curiously, but this Guo Lanxiang doesn't know it at all, she has always been well-behaved and honest, as if she has long been familiar with it, and there is nothing unusual.

It should be a good thing that she is obedient and doesn't make trouble for herself, but Mrs. Liang is uneasy in her heart, she always feels that something is wrong, and she always feels that this Guo Lanxiang is too abnormal, and it is better to bring Yu Xiangxiang's troublemaker.

The two came to Xia Yu Palace, Mrs. Liang talked to the palace maid, and Guo Lanxiang, who had always been in order, finally reacted, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the few elegant big characters on the plaque above the palace gate.

The palace maid went in to report, and Mrs. Liang looked back and saw that she was looking at the plaque, and she also looked up at the plaque and said with relief:

"This is written by the emperor himself, Xiao Xia only lived in the palace as a side concubine when she got married, I was also worried that she couldn't cope with it, and whether she would be snubbed by the emperor, oh, at that time the emperor was still the third prince, I didn't expect her to have this good luck, and not long after entering the palace, she was promoted to the palace and entered the palace.

Now that there is no owner in the six palaces, our Xiaoxia's quantile is the highest, and the emperor loves her very much, this is her blessing, and it is also the blessing of our Liang Mansion!

Lan Xiang, when you see the concubine later, you must be polite and thoughtful, the closer our relationship is, the more we can't make mistakes, so as not to be caught by someone with a heart to embarrass Xiao Xia, you know? ”

Guo Lanxiang slowly withdrew her eyes from the plaque, lowered her eyebrows and answered yes, and then followed the palace maid into Xia Yu Palace, and waited in the front hall for a long time, but did not see Xiao Xia appear.

Mrs. Liang wondered in her heart, didn't Xiao Xia herself want to shine into Guo Lanxiang? Why did she show up when this person came? And this Guo Lanxiang, seeing her sitting quietly and in a proper manner, she didn't seem to be nervous or curious at all, it stands to reason that her quiet and gentle temperament is not exactly what she expected? Why does it look so awkward.

Mrs. Liang looked at the door many times, and finally heard the eunuch report outside: "The noble concubine has arrived!" ”

Mrs. Liang got up to greet her, and saw two rows of beautiful women in palace clothes who entered the door. stepped on the lotus steps and walked to the upper sides to stand still, and then Xiao Xia, who dressed up, held Gui Ying's hand, shook his handkerchief and came in step by step.

Mrs. Liang felt strange in her heart. After Xiao Xia returned to the palace, she came to visit her a few times, but she had never seen her so pompous. Even if the concubine brought many concubines from the harem to visit last time, it was just a simple dress-up, why is this the case today?

Although she was curious, she bowed to Xiao Xia according to the etiquette of the courtiers, and of course Guo Lanxiang had to kowtow.

After the ceremony, Xiao Xia didn't seem to see Guo Lanxiang, she just picked up Mrs. Liang and said with a smile: "Mother, I've kept you waiting for a long time!" I heard that the family has been very busy lately, so my mother must be very busy, right? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the concubine is too modest. There's been a bit of a problem at home lately, and that's it. ”

"Oh? What's up? Mother said to listen, I am very bored in this palace, and I want to hear something new to relieve my boredom! ”

"This ......" Mrs. Liang glanced at Guo Lanxiang on the ground, but saw Xiao Xia winking at her and shaking her head, she knew in her heart, so she smiled and talked to Xiao Xia, ignoring Guo Lanxiang who was kneeling below.

The two of them talked happily, giggling from time to time. They paid attention to Guo Lanxiang's reaction while talking, and they had to say that this woman was very determined, Xiao Xia deliberately snubbed her and made her kneel for two quarters of an hour. She didn't move, her eyebrows lowered, and she was clustered there like a statue, without complaint or superfluous movements.

The more she was like this, the more worried Xiao Xia became. From the moment she entered the palace gate, Xiao Xia's eyes fell on her face. Sure enough, it was exactly the same face as Su Linglong before, no. She is clearly Su Linglong.

Xiao Xia talked to Mrs. Liang on the surface, but she was shocked in her heart, seeing that this woman was so lonely, it seemed that she had grown a lot better than before. deliberately snubbed her and ignored her, in addition to giving her a dismount, Xiao Xia didn't give herself time to prepare mentally, and try to convince herself to stabilize her mind that she must not lose to her again.

When the two were talking happily, Guilan brought the princess in to pay a visit, and the princess said in his voice:

"Concubine Niangniang, the emperor is now dealing with government affairs, I really can't pull away, the emperor said to let the concubine Niangniang keep the good tea, and I must come to taste it in the evening, and besides, the emperor heard that there were guests in the Niangniang Palace, and the special imperial dining room made some novelty snacks and sent them, Niangniang, please see."

The prince opened his eyes sideways, and a row of palace maids in green clothes and cloud shirts stood in front of Xiao Xia with a tray in the back, and the prince opened the lid and introduced them one by one, each snack was not much, but it was extremely delicate and beautiful, and it was also full of heat.

Mrs. Liang said with a smile: "These many dim sum are really good-looking, the concubine has lived for decades, and she has eaten a lot of dim sum, but I haven't seen these appearances, it's really novel." Niangniang, the emperor is very attentive to you! ”

Xiao Xia pursed her lips and smiled, "This is nothing?" The emperor will send things over every day, maybe he is afraid that I will be short-sighted, so he deliberately sent these strange things to open my eyes, you say, right? Princes. ”

"Ouch, Guifei Niangniang, what you said is not right, the emperor is worried about the daily rush, the mother is tired of seeing the taste and doesn't want to eat, specially instructed the imperial dining room to come up with new tricks, Mrs. Liang is right, Guifei Niangniang, the emperor always takes you to heart!"

Xiao Xia didn't postpone it anymore, and nodded with a smile: "There is a prince of Lao, thank you to the emperor on behalf of the palace." ”

Gui Ying took a big purse for the prince and sent him out of the palace in person, Xiao Xia glanced at those snacks, and by the way, glanced at Guo Lanxiang on the ground, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, why is there someone here?" ”

Mrs. Liang paused, glanced at her out of the corner of her eyes, and smiled secretly in her heart, this Xiao Xia, originally thought that she didn't understand the world, and was afraid that she would be bullied in the palace, looking at her quietly observing Guo Lanxiang in the cold, it seems that this girl is much more clever than expected.

"Oh, this is the concubine that the second brother married, the concubine knows that the mother has always been good friends with your second brother when she is at home, and she brought Xiangxiang to the mother last time, so naturally she can't treat Lanxiang lightly."

Xiao Xia nodded clearly: "It turned out to be the second brother's concubine~~~"

Xiao Xia's concubine bit a little, Guo Lanxiang's body shook obviously, Xiao Xia sneered in her heart, and thought that you really didn't react at all, so you still minded.

"Mother, our Liang family has a noble status, even if it is a concubine, it can't be recruited by anyone, if it causes trouble, it will not only lose the face of the second brother, but our Liang family will also be implicated, right?"

Mrs. Liang nodded: "No, this girl was sent by the second son of Shangguan, you know that your second brother has always been good friends with the second son of Shangguan, and the Shangguan family has an identity in the capital, so it shouldn't be able to send us an unknown woman, right?" ”

Xiao Xia thought for a while: "Well, having said that, it's better to check carefully." His name is ......"

"Lanxiang, Guo Lanxiang."

"Guo Lanxiang?"

Guo Lanxiang moved and kowtowed to Xiao Xia: "Yes, Niangniang, the concubine is here." ”

"Concubine?"

Mrs. Liang reprimanded: "Lan Xiang, you have no name and no place, and it is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes to be fortunate to see the honor of the noble concubine, you must pay attention to your words, you know?" ”

Guo Lanxiang threw herself on the ground motionless, her face clinging to the ground was full of anger and resentment, if she had a pair of sharp claws, she would have jumped up and strangled this disgusting woman! Scold? Chaise? I am not afraid that you will trample against me now, and there will be a time when you will kneel and beg me.

Guo Lanxiang clenched her teeth to suppress the anger in her heart, and let it retract back into the dantian little by little, until her face returned to normal, and then she responded softly: "Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and the concubine asks the concubine to plead guilty, and asks the concubine to punish her." ”

Xiao Xia looked at the top of her head, although she was lying on the ground motionless, but she clearly exuded a thick resentment, which was exactly the same as Su Linglong who had gone mad at the beginning.

Therefore, Xiao Xia once again affirmed that no matter how she pretended, she was still the femme fatale-hearted Su Linglong, who could be humiliated and hidden, and now she was more terrifying and dangerous than she was before.

Xiao Xia took a deep breath and said coldly: "It's good that you understand, people must be self-aware, and when you enter the palace for the first time, the palace will not be too difficult for you, get up!" ”

Guo Lanxiang threw herself on the ground and slowly stood up, maybe she knelt for too long, she suddenly threw herself forward, and she was about to be in front of Xiao Xia, Gui Ying suddenly flashed, and a kick hit her in the abdomen, kicking her a few meters away.

Xiao Xia and Mrs. Liang both stood up in surprise: "Gui Ying, what are you doing?" ”

Gui Ying took a step back and arched her hand: "Niangniang, the duty of the slave and maid is not to let the living get close to you for five steps, etc., this woman's actions are abrupt, and the slave and maid have no choice but to do so." ”

Looking at Guo Lanxiang, who was curled up on the ground and her facial features were distorted in pain, Xiao Xia felt a little unbearable in her heart, but asked Gui Ying and whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, don't trust this girl." ”

Xiao Xia took a deep breath: "Carry her down, please treat the doctor." (To be continued.) )
