Xiao Xia personally sent the Song family and Su Lingfeng and Su Lingxia to the gate of the palace, thinking about it, she still didn't feel at ease, and asked Guilan to follow them over to have a look, and then send them out of the palace when the matter on Su Lingman's side was over.

Watching the group walk away, Xiao Xia felt quite emotional in her heart, and Gui Ying said in a low voice: "Niangniang, do you know if the slave maid has something to say?" ”

"Speak!"

"Niangniang's identity is sensitive, she shouldn't be so close to the Su family."

"Are you saying that it's not good for me to be close to them?"

"This is secondary, mainly...... You treat the other concubines coldly, why are you so enthusiastic about the two young ladies of the Su family alone, others will definitely have a lot of conjectures, if Miss Lingfeng enters the palace in the future, everyone will be hostile to her, or the harem concubines will try their best to prevent him from entering the palace.

Not to mention ......"

Xiao Xia looked back at her: "Let's talk straight, I want to hear it." ”

"What's more, Mrs. Song and the two Miss Su don't know the true identity of the lady, and now you are just a concubine in their eyes, or just a young lady from the Liang Mansion, they please you everywhere and follow you not because of family affection but for their selfishness, and the slave maid feels that there is no need for the young lady to be used like this."

Although Gui Ying's words are not good, they ring the alarm bell in Xiao Xia's heart, yes, he is close to them because he is grateful for the family affection they have been with for two years, and they are close to themselves purely for profit, if they are just an ugly-looking civilian woman at this time, maybe they won't have time to look at themselves!

Xiao Xia was a little depressed in her heart, let out a long sigh, and turned around and walked inside.

Seeing her like this, Gui Ying regretted a little, it was rare to see her talking so happily like today, but she came to pour cold water on herself, isn't it too unkind? Alas!

After Su Lingman returned to the palace, she fidgeted, thinking of the way the concubine looked at the Su family, she always felt that she had missed something? What's it? She couldn't figure it out.

So, she paced around the gate of the palace, so repeatedly, but she didn't see the three of the Song family coming over for a long time, what's going on? Why does it take so long? Didn't they come to ask for their help? Could it be that he will ignore himself when he climbs the high branch of the concubine? Thinking of this, Su Lingman was a little angry.

It's okay to coax outsiders with his identity, but who in the palace doesn't know that he has no real power and lives by clinging to please other concubines? Originally, she planned to cultivate Su Lingfeng well, so that she would have a bright future in the future, but if she switched to the concubine, she would not have a chance at all, it was really a lot of things, why did I have to take them to see any concubine?

Su Lingman regretted it, and hurriedly walked around the palace gate.

More than an hour has passed, and it seems that it is almost evening, and it has not yet come! Don't go out of the palace, right? Su Lingman couldn't sit still any longer, so he sent a palace maid to invite a few people from the Song family.

This time did not disappoint her, the Song family and a few people came over quickly, Su Lingman happily introduced a few people into the palace, and took out a bunch of good things to entertain them, but they only glanced at it, and no one moved at all.

Su Lingman smiled and said, "Lingxia, don't you like to eat pastries?" You see, I've got it for you, try it! ”

Su Lingxia stroked her stomach: "Oh, thank you, Sister Lingman, but I ate a lot at Sister Guifei's side, and I couldn't hold it anymore, I really couldn't eat it!" ”

"Concubine...... Sister? Su Lingman was so surprised that he could hardly believe his ears.

At this time, Su Lingfeng smiled and said: "Yes, Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang is really good to us, there is no shelf, we don't think we are humble, we are willing to be commensurate with our sisters, and we also gave a bunch of meeting gifts, oh, the things are outside, what a big box!" ”

Su Lingfeng seemed excited and innocent when she spoke, but those who knew her well knew that her expression and tone were completely different from usual, and Su Lingman also heard it, this girl was demonstrating to herself, and she gave her a dismount before, and it was only two hours later, and she gave me back, good girl, you have the guts!

Su Lingman secretly hated in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Really? I think too, the concubine Niangniang is famous in the palace for her generosity and good temper, when we went to meet for the first time, Niangniang was also commensurate with our sisters, saying that we are all serving by the emperor's side, we must be dedicated, we also have gifts, or Niangniang carried a box up for everyone to pick! ”

Su Lingxia was surprised: "Oh, Sister Guifei is also so generous to you?" I thought she was very nice to us, and asked people to carry a box of jewelry for us to pick out, but it wasn't! Woo~~~~ Even so, I still think Sister Guifei is good, a good person, a good person, right, third sister? ”

Su Lingfeng smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Of course, then you still need to say?" ”

With such a beginning, the atmosphere jumped up all of a sudden, such an embarrassing scene, no one could say anything about the two sides who originally wanted to be close, and they had to cool off from time to time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the purpose of entering the palace had been achieved, and there was no need to stay here longer, so he found an excuse to say goodbye to Su Lingman and left in a hurry with the two young ladies.

After the Song family walked, Su Lingman sat motionless in the hall with a cold face, the tea and pastries in the hall were placed unchanged, the maid saw that the tea was cold, and wanted to change it, Su Lingman said coldly: "No need, keep it!" ”

Bai Ling saw that Su Lingman's face was ugly, and he thought of the few women who didn't know what to do, and thought about it and persuaded in a low voice: "Niangniang, it's just a few people who can't be on the stage, why be angry with them?" ”

Su Lingman pursed her lips and smiled: "Who said I was angry?" Not only did I not get angry, but I thanked them. ”

"Thanks? Mother, the slave didn't understand. ”

Su Lingman stood up, paced slowly to the table below, picked up the pastries that Su Lingxia didn't want to eat, put them in her mouth and tasted them, closed her eyes and shook her head comfortably:

"It's so delicious, I think I was punished by my mother, locked up in a dark and dirty room, I couldn't eat for a few days and nights, and finally a passing grandmother threw me half a rancid steamed bun, at that time I thought the steamed bun was so delicious, it was simply the best thing in the world."

Seeing Su Lingman's sad look in his smile, Bai Ling frowned worriedly: "Niangniang, many years have passed, you ...... Treat it as if it hadn't happened! ”

Su Lingman shook his head, turned his hand and handed the snack to Bai Ling: "Take it and share it with everyone, don't waste it!" ”

Bai Ling paused, looked at the plate and then looked at Su Lingman, Su Lingman said lightly: "Next, what do you want me to do?" ”

Bai Ling had no choice but to bow his head and catch it: "Slave and maid thank you for your reward!" ”

Su Lingman pursed his lips and smiled: "I have to thank that half of the steamed bun, it saved my life, and now I also want to thank this plate of dim sum, it made me see my situation clearly." ”

"Niangniang, you are already a concubine, the new emperor ascended the throne not long ago, as long as you give birth to a boy and half a girl, sooner or later you will enter the concubine position, and then you will have a peaceful and rich life, just like the previous Concubine Niangniang, why should Niangniang worry about the sky!"

"Are people worried? Heh......" Su Lingman smiled faintly, didn't make a comment, turned around and slowly went inside.

The Song family took Su Lingfeng and Su Lingxia to thank Guilan who saw them off again and again, and only when she got into the carriage and watched the side door of the palace gradually move away, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lingxia asked while fiddling with the jewelry she had just gotten, "Mother, we have a great harvest today, why do you still sigh?" ”

Song came back to her senses, looked at the pair of daughters opposite who were not her own, she hesitated whether she should star or not, and after thinking about it, she still felt the need to say:

"Lingfeng, Lingxia, although the concubine is very kind to us, but you can't climb down the pole, what does it look like to come back with these many things? Especially you, Lingxia, how many times did you remind you again and again before entering the palace, why did you forget your roots as soon as you entered the palace? ”

Su Lingxia stuck out her tongue: "People see that Sister Guifei is harmonious and beautiful, and they like to be close to her, not to mention that these are all given to us by Guifei Niangniang herself, and we didn't take the initiative to ask for it, right, third sister?" ”

Song glanced at Lingfeng, and saw that although she didn't speak, she was still very dissatisfied: "Lingfeng, you too, Lingman is a concubine now, and she has a very high status in the harem, why do you talk to her like that?" Fortunately, she is your cousin, so it's strange that she doesn't hold a grudge against you if she wants to change someone else. ”

Lingfeng sneered: "Heh, the status is very high, and when I see the concubine, I don't have to kneel down and bow carefully, not to mention that she is herself and showing off her power in front, and I didn't say anything, she wants to hold a grudge and let her remember it, I have a clear conscience." ”

"You...... Oh, you girl, I don't even know what to say about you, just go back and I'll sue your aunt and let you teach your own aunt a lesson. ”

Song Shi looked out the window a little angrily, thinking back to the concubine, in fact, she also felt that this concubine's attitude was a little too affectionate, and her tone and movements looked like a person......

No, no, no, it can't be! Song shook his head and rubbed his eyebrows, it must be that he has been sad and sad about Linglong's things for too long these days, always thinking crankily, and everyone feels like Linglong, alas, my poor daughter......

Yu Xiangxiang came out of the Liang Mansion and returned to Xue Yongan's residence, Xue Yongan came out when he heard the news, and took everyone in the family to stand at the gate and respectfully greet her.

Yu Xiangxiang was very happy to see it, and deliberately put up a shelf to learn from Xiao Xia's appearance to let him be exempt from courtesy, and when he entered the inner hall, Yu Xiangxiang didn't wait for Xue Yongan to ask, so he told all the things about Liang Mansion and Xiao Xia.

Xue Yongan didn't say a word, he listened to Yu Xiangxiang seriously, and at the end, Yu Xiangxiang took a sip of tea and stuck out his tongue: "Xue Gongzi, what's the matter?" I'm doing a good job, right? ”

"Yes, the county lord is wise."

"Oh, there are no outsiders here, you sound sour and boring when you talk like this!"

"Yes, County Lord!"

"Okay, okay, don't call me the county lord, or call Xiangxiang to your ears, I said so much, don't you give some advice?"

"What is the opinion of the county lord?"

Yu Xiangxiang thought for a while: "What are the opinions...... For example, what's going on with that Guo Lanxiang in Liang Mansion? ”

"This has been carefully checked, Guo Lanxiang's identity is no problem, it is indeed as she said, it was originally just a woman from a remote village who was accidentally sold to the capital and happened to look like Miss Su Er."

"Isn't it? Is there such a coincidence? ”

"Here's what it turned out to be."

"Do you mean there are accidents?"

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Yu Xiangxiang frowned and thought for a long time, feeling that this question was still profound and too brain-consuming, so she simply waved her hand: "That's it, don't mention her, that woman is very weird, anyway, she has been locked up by her wife, presumably she can't make any more trouble!" By the way, Xue Gongzi, you said that my husband and concubine Niangniang...... Is it really just brother and sister? ”

"Why do you have this doubt?"

"Oops, anyway, I think both of them are weird, especially when they mention each other, they are the kind of people who obviously care about it and pretend that they have nothing to do with me, I really don't know what happened between them?"

Yu Xiangxiang's eyes rolled, and she leaned over the gossip: "Hey, Xue Gongzi, you say...... Xiao Xia is not the sister of Liang Ergongzi, they used to be under the same roof, will they fall in love for a long time! ”

Xue Yongan was startled for a moment, and immediately said: "County Lord, please don't say anything, Miss Xiao Xia is now a noble concubine, and any unwarranted rumor may kill her, and even the entire Liang family may not be affected. ”

Seeing Xue Yongan's serious appearance, Yu Xiangxiang twitched the corners of her mouth and muttered: "I'll just say casually, there are no outsiders here, who can know?" ”

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, it's better to be careful, county lord, you are now noble, and you are the second son of Liang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go out and come to my small house without permission, right? Why don't I send someone to send you back? ”

"Hey, don't, I just sat down and took a sip of water, and you're going to drive me away? Xue Gongzi, don't forget what you promised me, you will marry me when this matter is over! ”

Xue Yongan coughed embarrassedly twice: "This ...... The county lord, the grass people really don't dare to climb high. ”

Yu Xiangxiang stood up suddenly: "Xue Yongan, you can't admit it, if you dare to admit it, I'll live here and not leave!" ”

Seeing Yu Xiangxiang snorting in front of him, Xue Yongan hurriedly got up and retreated: "County Lord, you ...... Rest easy, because you've not done what you promised. ”

Yu Xiangxiang blinked and said with a smile: "You mean that after I help the second son of Liang, you will marry me?" ”

"This ...... This ......"

"You promised yourself, don't go back! In the past, I was humble and didn't dare to look forward to it, but now that I am the county lord, your father and mother can't look down on me, and, don't worry, even if I can't give birth to children, after getting married, I will personally pick a few concubines for you who can give birth to and raise, how do you like to give birth to and how left, I will raise them as my own children, how about it? I'm generous enough, isn't she? ”

Xue Yongan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, but Yu Xiangxiang inexplicably got the identity of a county lord, and he couldn't reprimand him if he wanted to refuse, and he refused if he wanted to, he regretted it now, he really shouldn't have been perfunctory to Xiangxiang like that.

Another day has passed in a blink of an eye, tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, and today's early holiday in the court is to prepare for tomorrow's great joy, and all famous families are nervously preparing for this, and Liang Mansion is no exception.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Liang was checking the gift list sent to the palace tomorrow, when she heard a report from the porter: "Mrs. Shangguan asks to see you." (To be continued.) )
