Concubine Fang stared at her with slanted eyes and suspicious eyes: "Are you sure?" What if the concubine reconciles directly with the emperor? Didn't I help them? ”

"Don't worry, the concubine is arrogant, if she is really angry, even the emperor may not be willing to nod.

Even if they reconcile this time, it won't hurt, anyway...... The background of the concubine is there, no matter how much the emperor spoils her and loves her, she can only be a concubine at most, and it is impossible to go to the next level, but you are different. ”

Concubine Fang walked around twice with her steps: "You're right, it's not in a hurry." ”

Suddenly, Concubine Fang stopped, squinted at Su Lingman coldly: "Concubine Su, if I'm not mistaken...... Your Su family offended the Liang family, Liang Guogong broke off his friendship with your Su family, but this concubine is good to you, she didn't refuse you thousands of miles away but took good care of you, you help me like this...... How do I know you're not a spy sent by the concubine? ”

Su Lingman half-lowered his head and said respectfully: "Niangniang, the concubine is not the first day to enter the palace, and the rules of survival in the harem are very clear." ”

"Oh? What is the law of the harem? Let's hear it. ”

Su Lingman paused for a long time and said in a low voice: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, the current harem seems to be the concubine's family with unlimited grace, and the concubine's mother's family, the Liang Guogong Mansion, is powerful, but what about this?"

No matter how the Liang family calls for wind and rain, no matter how favored the concubine is, this will never change the fact that she is just a folk woman of unknown origin picked up by the Liang Mansion, and her identity is destined to make her unable to ascend to the throne for the rest of her life, even if she gives birth to a prince.

Let alone...... This concubine is stubborn and has a high level of work, and she is not the material to lead the harem at all, and now the emperor is still interested in her. Sooner or later, the emperor will see this clearly, and sooner or later he will snub her or even enter the cold palace.

The concubine didn't want to bet the grace and honor of the rest of her life and the hundreds of people of the Su family on such an unreliable woman of unknown origin. ”

Concubine Fang sneered: "You will bet on it." So how much value do I have in your eyes? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine sincerely follows the mother. I only hope that the mother will ascend to the throne as soon as possible, and the concubines can occasionally get a little blessing. ”

Concubine Fang squinted her eyes and looked at her for a long time, then pursed her lips and smiled, and helped her up with her own hands: "Why are your sisters so polite? Presumably the emperor won't come over tonight, sister, go, go and sit on my sister's side. ”

Xiao Xia's side, since she left the Imperial Garden, she almost ran back to the Xia Yu Palace. As soon as she entered the palace gate, she commanded loudly: "Close the door and tie it, no one is allowed to come, no one is allowed to open the door, the palace must rest, and no one is allowed to disturb the palace." ”

Xiao Xia said with a cold face as she walked quickly to the back of the dormitory, and the people looked at each other, this is the first time that the concubine has seen her give orders like this after entering the palace, what is wrong with the concubine?

Gui Ying and Gui Lan hurriedly chased Xiao Xia in, while Gui Fang and Gui Xiang urged the palace maids and grandmothers to quickly do what they said.

They've just closed their doors and bolted. I heard someone knocking on the door outside, it was the voice of the prince next to the emperor, and the grandmother who was guarding the door didn't dare to respond, so she could only look at Gui Fang and Gui Xiang with a smile.

The two looked at each other. Gui Fang gritted his teeth, walked to the door and said, "I'm sorry, Princess-in-law." Our mother has an order, and we don't see anyone. The mother is very tired and has already rested. Father-in-law, please go back! ”

The prince was stunned for a while, and then knocked on the door and shouted: "Open the door!" When the emperor arrived, he didn't open the door quickly. ”

The grandmothers were so frightened that they immediately knelt down in the door, Gui Fang and Gui Xiang were worried in their hearts, the two hesitated for a while, and also knelt down behind the door: "The slave and maid kowtow to the emperor, but the mother has an order that no one is allowed to enter the door, and the slave and maid dare not disobey the mother, please forgive the emperor." ”

The princess was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "You little girl is too blind, is the emperor an outsider?" Don't open the door yet! ”

Feng Jintian waved his hand: "Okay Wang An, Xiao Xia is in a bad mood and doesn't want to see me, I am not embarrassed, the two girls inside listen, go back and serve your mother well, you can't miss the slightest, I ...... Come back tomorrow! ”

After a while, the sound outside gradually faded away, Gui Fang and Gui Xiang peeked out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, there was no one! The two of them let out a long sigh of relief, holding each other's hands and holding the door, and slowly slid down and sat on the ground.

Xiao Xia, who returned to Xia Yu Palace with a cold face, went straight back to the dormitory, and then entered the study next door and closed the door, locking Gui Ying and Gui Lan outside, the two of them were a little worried, and knocked lightly a few times: "Niangniang, it's time for dinner, do you want to use dinner and then practice calligraphy?" ”

It was quiet inside for a while, and when Gui Ying wanted to knock on the door again, she heard Xiao Xia inside reply lightly: "I don't want to eat, let me be alone for a while." ”

Xiao Xia sat behind the desk, spreading out a large piece of white rice paper, she held the charcoal in her hand but couldn't put down the pen for a long time, her mind was full of the scene of Feng Jintian and Concubine Fang kissing me and me, such a beautiful and flawless Concubine Fang, such a handsome and dusty Feng Jintian, they stood together like a pair of immortals, so that Xiao Xia did not dare to look directly, and could not bear to look directly.

She had to admit that she had feelings for Feng Jintian, even if she tried to avoid it, but his sincerity and his favor made her not moved?

In the past, he stayed alone in the Xia Yu Palace and was reluctant to go out, although he knew that there were many concubines in the palace who were also Feng Jintian's women, and he was also very sure that Feng Jintian would have many, many women, and he understood that Feng Jintian could not be the lover of his life, but why was he still so angry when he saw him with other women?

It feels like someone has robbed something important, and the thing that should have belonged to you is suddenly recognized as being snatched away, and you have to share it with others with a generous smile...... Honestly, she couldn't!

Yes, she can't!

Xiao Xia let out a long breath and put down the charcoal, she raised her eyes to look out the window, the sky was dark, the moon was gradually climbing up the branches, and it was quiet outside, such a quiet beauty made her heart gradually calm down.

She looked at the moon that was climbing up little by little, and suddenly her heart moved, and her mind suddenly opened up.

By the way, why did you worry about it before? Because I'm not sure what the relationship between myself and Feng Jintian is? Don't know what to do? Today's events made her angry for a while and suddenly figured it out, although she was unhappy to see Feng Jintian making out with other women, and even a little angry. But there was no heartache and sadness.

Yes, the answer is simple. Feng Jintian is kind to herself, she admires her, respects him, looks up to him, and even wants to possess him. But his affection for him is by no means a lifelong love, he is not my lover, and I am not the queen candidate he expects to help him love him and help him stabilize the country.

We are sweet together at the beginning, and over time we will eventually go our separate ways, rather than end up breaking our hearts and turning against each other, it is better to leave early.

Although he kept threatening not to allow me to leave, he didn't do anything when I left Beijing for two months last time, he managed the government very well, and the family of officials in the DPRK and China was intertwined. It's not that he kills if he wants to.

Scold! I was so confused, I was actually bluffed by him!

Xiao Xia sighed and stood up, pacing around the house a few times, thinking about his retreat.

Leaving the palace is for sure, just how? What else do I need to do before leaving? Arrangements need to be made well.

Gui Ying Guilan and a few other maids were waiting anxiously outside, and when they heard the news that the emperor had come and left, several people wanted to enter the door to report, but they were afraid of annoying Xiao Xia, so they could only walk around the door in a hurry. I hope that the door will be opened sooner.

An hour later, the palace maid came to report that the emperor had sent pastries, what should I do?

A few maids are really embarrassed. The door of the study suddenly opened, and several maids surrounded him at the same time: "Niangniang, are you out?" ”

Natsu stood in the doorway. His eyes swept over the faces of several maids in front of him one by one, and these girls had been with him for a long or short time. But they are all good people, and they have helped themselves a lot during this time. You can't do them badly.

"Mother, you...... Are you hungry? Would you like to have dinner? ”

Xiao Xia smiled: "I'm really hungry, didn't the emperor send pastries?" Let's enjoy it together. ”

Xiao Xia's cheerful tone and radiant appearance made several maids stunned, and they were at a loss for a while.

Xiao Xia said to the palace maid who came in to report: "Did you hear it, send the pastries to the palace dormitory!" ”

Then she walked briskly to her bedchamber.

Gui Ying, Gui Lan, Gui Fang, and Gui Xiang took a while to react, and after everyone looked at each other, they all surrounded Gui Ying and asked, "Sister Gui Ying, what's wrong with Niangniang?" It's like a different person......"

"Yes, yes, the slave has never seen such a cheerful expression from the mother? Isn't the mother angry? Why are you suddenly in a good mood again? Could it be that something happened in the house? ”

"Sister Gui Ying, why don't you go to see Niangniang first, Niangniang don't just swallow it in your stomach if you have a hard face, and we will be responsible for holding back our illness!"

Gui Ying thought for a while: "You guys are waiting outside, I'll go in and take a look." ”

When Gui Ying entered the dormitory, she saw Xiao Xia sitting in front of the dresser by herself, removing her makeup and combing her hair, Gui Ying walked over quickly: "Niangniang, come on, slave!" ”

Xiao Xia handed her the comb, looked at the mirror with a smile and didn't speak, Gui Ying gently helped her comb her hair and asked softly: "Niangniang, you ...... Why are you so happy? ”

"Because I know what I have to do? It's no longer headless, brainless, and directionless like before. ”

Gui Ying's hand paused slightly: "Niangniang, what do you mean ......?"

"Gui Ying, Ming'er will accompany me to the Internal Affairs Office early in the morning."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs? Mother, do you want to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in person? ”

"yes, can't you?"

"This ...... Of course not, it's just that you ......"

"What do you want to ask me to do?"

Gui Ying stopped and nodded, Xiao Xia pursed her lips and smiled: "This palace is free to plan, you can arrange it." ”

When the pastries were delivered, Xiao Xia wore loose homely clothes and grabbed the snacks directly without regard to the image, and nodded again and again while eating: "It's delicious!" It's worthy of the palace, it tastes good, come, you can eat some too! ”

Xiao Xia still had crushed pastries in her mouth, beckoning to Gui Ying, Guilan, Gui Fang, Guixiang, etc., several people shook their heads sneeringly, and they all looked at her with unfamiliar eyes, but Xiao Xia didn't think so, and ate happily by herself.

After filling her stomach, she simply washed and washed, climbed into bed and fell asleep.

After serving Xiao Xia, several maids withdrew from the dormitory, and as soon as Gui Fang went out, she couldn't wait to ask: "Sister Gui Ying, Sister Gui Lan, what's going on?" How do I think the mother is weird as soon as she comes out of the study, like a different person! ”

Guixiang also said: "That's right, I also think that watching Niangniang eat just now is like being taken up by the county lord of Xiangxiang, so how can the eating look like our mother?" ”

Guilan also said suspiciously: "Sister Guiying, you said that the mother should not be ...... again That's it, right? ”

"Which one? Sister Gui Ying, Sister Gui Lan, don't play dumb riddles, we don't understand. ”

Gui Ying lowered her eyebrows and muttered for a long time: "It's not early, you all go back to your room to rest, Niang Niang'er will go to the Internal Affairs Office tomorrow morning, get up early to prepare, don't go on a business trip like this afternoon." ”

Gui Ying didn't wait for them to ask questions, so she silently entered the dormitory and closed the door, leaving a few maids looking at each other.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xia began to dress up after breakfast, and put on the court clothes that had been sent a long time ago but had not been worn once.

Gui Ying and a few maids looked around Xiao Xia a few times, tidied up their clothes neatly, and Gui Fang asked, "Niangniang, aren't you just going to the Internal Affairs Mansion?" Why dress so formally? ”

"If I don't dress formally, can those old officials ignore me?" Xiao Xia said half-jokingly, Gui Fang said: "This is, don't talk about those officials, even the palace maids and eunuchs who are doing things below are also seeing people serving dishes."

When the emperor came to Niangniang's side to be diligent, those people saw us all with smiling faces and said good things, what do you want, you can send a few more copies, but the emperor didn't come for a day or two, those people changed their faces, and they didn't even give the most commonly used silk thread materials, a group of snobs, Niangniang went to help the slave and maid come out. ”

"Gui Fang, don't talk nonsense!" Gui Ying scolded her with a straight face, and Gui Fang pursed her lips and muttered a few words before she stopped.

Xiao Xia glanced at a few girls, they are also well-trained in the Liang Mansion, and they still have kung fu, these people in the palace can go high and low, and they will not suffer more if they fall down in the future?

The more this is the case, the more Xiao Xia is firm in her thoughts, she slowly stretched out her hand, let Gui Ying Guilan support herself, put up a shelf and walked out of the Xia Yu Palace, this sedan chair passed through most of the harem before coming to the door of the Internal Affairs Mansion.

Xiao Xia sat on the sedan chair and asked Guilan to go in to report, and waited for a few old men from the Internal Affairs Office to hurriedly run out and bow and salute, before getting off the sedan chair unhurriedly, and asked coldly as soon as he landed: "It's the emperor's 20th birthday soon, how are your Internal Affairs Office prepared?" ”

Several old men paused, looked at each other secretly, and then lay on the ground and said: "Back to the noble concubine, the emperor doesn't like to put on a big banquet, so ......"

"So you didn't prepare anything?"

"This ......"

"Presumptuous! As the Minister of the Interior, you are in charge of the affairs of the harem, and you dare to neglect such important matters as the emperor's birthday, what does the court still support you? (To be continued.) )
