Shan Mu and Duan Zhirong discussed the time, place and method of meeting, and sent Duan Zhirong back, and hurriedly went back to write a letter and send it back. And Duan Zhirong broke away from the joy of reuniting with the old man, and began to worry about how to connect with the unity in the Northern Qi Palace again.

Duan Zhirong may not dare to think about it, but at this time, the person he is thinking about is also thinking about the same problem as him

Qi Xin is now sitting in front of the door of Weiyang Palace, looking into the distance in a daze with an expressionless face.

A loud bang of the bell interrupted Qi Xin's train of thought.

"Mother, slave damned."

In front of Man'er was a scattered jewelry box, and the beads and hairpins were in chaos.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, let's pick it up first. Just ask someone to take it and fix it. How could you be reckless today. ”

Man'er didn't speak, but after a while, he called the other little palace maids to clean up the things on the ground together, and handed over the broken jewelry box to Chang Xin, asking Chang Xin to take it and repair it. Qi Xin looked at Man'er with a worried face, and still opened his mouth to ask,

"Man'er, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong?"

Man'er looked up at Qixin, then lowered his head to look at his fingers, and whispered,

"Niangniang, the emperor didn't come last night, why are you so relaxed."

Qi Xin was stunned, she really didn't care about other things she had been thinking about in her heart. Qi Xin smiled and said,

"Why didn't the emperor come, the palace hasn't said anything yet, you're still not happy."

Man'er heard the ridicule in Qi Xin's words, and stomped his foot slightly.

"Oh, mother, the slave is really for your own good. You say this emperor. Since I stayed at Concubine Duan's place, I haven't come to see you, and yesterday Chang Xin came back from Chang Gui's father-in-law, and he didn't say anything to you. ”

"The former emperor only stayed in the Chuyu Palace, but it was only a day, why are you so energetic."

Man'er was even more angry when he heard Qixin's words,

"Mother, what else do you say? You said that since you came to this Northern Qi Palace. The emperor didn't come to this Weiyang Palace for a few days. Even if you don't come, it's a good thing to send here, so I have to send you a letter. What now? Hmph, it's uncomfortable to look at the appearance of Concubine Duan just now. also said that he should serve his mother well, thank him for giving him the opportunity to serve the emperor. Really, isn't it just a one-time service, how can you be favored more. ”

Qi Xin smiled.

"Alright. How can you be like a child, the more you talk, the more boundless you are. Why, is the emperor so good to me in your eyes? ”

Before Man'er could reply, the voice of the seventh princess came from outside,

"The concubine asks to see the queen."

Qi Xin sneered, as if he was relieved,

"Man'er, go and call my sister in."

Man'er pouted unhappily. But I went and called people in anyway.

The seventh princess looks much better, and she has also been dressed up with all her heart. put some effort into the makeup, which makes people look distressed and tempting.

"My sister looks much better today, and it seems that she can move more."

There are words in Qi Xin's words, and the seventh princess naturally wants to catch it. The seventh princess bowed slightly and said with a smile,

"Everything is arranged by the queen mother."

Qi Xin smelled the rich smell of fragrant powder in the air, and frowned slightly,

"Why do you smell the incense powder on my sister's body today? It would not be good to ask Lin Zhangshi to smell it for a while, and the imperial doctor had already told people who were pregnant that these incense powders were not good. Didn't my sister ask the imperial doctor to blame the palace for not taking good care of my sister. ”

The seventh princess shuddered, looked at Qi Xin nervously and said,

"Yes, I forgot. Regardless of the mother's affairs, it is the concubine's own problem, and the concubine's own problem. The concubine, the concubine will go and cover the fragrance on her body after a while. ”

Qi Xin's sharp eyes looked at the seventh princess, and the two of them glanced at each other, one like ice and the other like fire.

"I heard that General Lin is coming back soon, but my sister has planned it."

"That's natural."

The two men looked at each other, and neither said anything more. The seven princesses can rest assured that they will have a way to do it no matter what. Qi Xin didn't care too much about the seventh princess, just looked at the seventh princess's stomach and frowned slightly.

Qi Xin didn't know how many times he had confessed to this child. Everyone, including herself, is not as innocent as this child, but it is also this child who sacrifices the most.

Concubine Duan came back from the Yang Palace, and saw Chang Gui waiting there.

"Say hello to Concubine Duan."

Concubine Duan also smiled, and saluted Chang Gui respectfully without ambiguity,

"Chang Gui's father-in-law is polite, I didn't know that my father-in-law came over, and he came back a little untimely. If my father-in-law has anything, just tell me something. ”

"Concubine Duanniang is serious, how can the slave not give orders. It's just that the emperor called the servants over and asked Concubine Duan about it. ”

Concubine Duan suddenly saw that there was no tea on the table, and glanced at Guixiang complainingly, thinking that this woman who didn't understand the doorway didn't put Chang Gui's father-in-law in her eyes.

"If my father-in-law has anything to say, just ask. Guixiang, give my father-in-law the tea that my father asked me to bring into the palace. ”

Guixiang was stunned, but when she saw Concubine Duan's unfriendly eyes looking at her, she still complied.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I heard that Concubine Duan's mother brought in the dishes of Qingguo from outside the palace before, and the queen mother liked it very much. The emperor called the servants over and wanted to ask where Concubine Duan's mother was. ”

Concubine Duan didn't understand what the emperor meant for a while, and she was a little flustered, but she still said it truthfully,

"Yes, it's Qingshangshan."

"Qing Shangshan?"

Concubine Duan nodded cautiously,

"Yes, Qingshangshan is now very famous, specializing in Qingguo's specialties. When the concubine came back from home, she brought the pastries to the queen, and the lady also said that she liked it very much. I also want to ask the concubine to introduce the shopkeeper of Qingshangshan, saying that she wants to get to know her. ”

Chang Gui was overjoyed when he heard it, and his eyebrows were raised,

"Oh? It's true? Then it's really Concubine Xie Duan's mother. ”

Concubine Duan was a little inexplicable, but she still asked gently,

"I don't know, I don't know why the emperor is."

"Oh, that's right, the emperor wants to do something to make the queen happy."

After Chang Gui spoke, Concubine Duan's face froze there, but Chang Gui still looked at her with a smile as if he hadn't seen it.

Concubine Duan finally withdrew a smile,

"Oh, that's right. It's great to be able to help the emperor. ”

After sending Chang Gui away, Guixiang was now behind Concubine Duan and said,

"Niangniang, why are you so polite to him, the slaves can't listen to it."

Concubine Duan snorted,

"Hmph, you know what. Chang Gui's father-in-law has a transcendent status, and what he said is naturally what the emperor meant. ”

"Ah, this."

Guixiang remembered that she was inconsiderate just now, and she couldn't help but regret it very much. Concubine Duan's face was mocking, and she didn't know who she was mocking. (To be continued.) )
