Every day, they were busy saluting in the morning and playing the piano and dancing in the afternoon, and the show girls were tired. Who knew that it hadn't been a few days, and I didn't know who had the idea, and I couldn't even eat it in peace.

Every day for lunch, the show girls have to take turns to go to the places of each palace concubine to 'observe'.

It's said to be observing, but in fact, it's about seeing and seeing your predecessors, and of course, by the way, you have to be seen by others.

Perhaps, the latter is the point.

When Xia Xiaodong saw Concubine Li Shu for the first time, he felt weird.

Concubine Li Shu is the biological mother of the sixth prince, she should be around forty years old, she looks like she is only in her thirties, and her two eyes are round and very smart.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or it's true, Xia Xiaodong always feels that Concubine Li Shufei's eyes are often looking at herself.

Even the Six Princes haven't seen each other for a while, let alone the Six Princes' mother.

Twelve show girls lined up in two rows, standing on the side in a regular manner, 'watching' Concubine Li Shu's meal.

Xia Xiaodong was quite skeptical, and everyone present was greeting those who thought of this arrangement. Whether you stand and watch or sit and eat, you won't feel comfortable.

After observing, it is time to be observed.

Of course, Concubine Li Shu did not stand on the sidelines and watched, but sat far away under the porch, just looking at it casually. But even so, the show girls are careful one by one, and the taste is like chewing wax.

Fortunately, Xia Xiaodong has been exercising in the Lu family for a long time, and it is not a problem.

When lunch was almost over, the lady lady flicked her fingers and called a show girl to go over and gossip. After saying a few words, another one was changed.

Xia Xiaodong is the third.

"Lady Niangniang." Xia Xiaodong squatted down and saluted first.

Concubine Shu waved her hand casually, motioned for her to get up, and smiled: "It's a pity, such a good-looking girl." ”

Xia Xiaodong lowered his eyes and did not have an interface.

This is not a question, there is no rule that says it must be interfaced.

If it is a question from a superior, whether you know the answer or not, you must answer it, and there is a format for the answer, similar to 'If you return to XXXX (the master's title), how is XX (self-proclaimed)', Xia Xiaodong has already used it very skillfully.

Concubine Shu's reaction to Xia Xiaodong was a little surprised. Ordinary people stand up to Concubine Shu's previous sentence, either they don't look good at being humble, or it's a pity to ask about something in a roundabout way, or they talk about him left and right, in short, they will react a little.

The girl only maintained a proper light smile and did not say a word.

Silence is actually a privilege, but few people use it well.

Concubine Shu sat up straighter.

"Come, sit down and talk. There is no need to be restrained here. Shufei pointed to another chair across from her.

On an equal footing with the Lady? Xia Xiaodong was not ready to do this. She looked around quietly, dragged an embroidery pier over, and sat a third of the way.

"Thank you, Lady." People let you not have to be restrained, it doesn't mean that you can treat it as your own home.

A palace maid brought tea and put a cup in front of Xia Xiaodong.

The bowl of fine white porcelain is filled with brown sugar and red date eight treasure tea.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with the Lu family?" Concubine Shu used the three fingers of her right hand without armor to delicately pick up the lid of the teacup and play with the red round date.

"Back to Concubine Shu's words," Xia Xiaodong lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "I will come back to the capital for the draft and live in the Lu family." Before Lu Yunzhi went to Suzhou to help with disaster relief and lived in Xia's house. ”

Neither said that the relationship was good, nor did it say that the relationship was bad. Only two facts are stated.

Facts that everyone knows.

But the same fact can be interpreted differently.

From the point of view of time, of course, Lu Yunzhi went to Suzhou first, so it can be understood that Xia Xiaodong lived in Lu's house after that, and it was just a normal exchange - you lived in my house before, and now I live in your house, that's all.

But on the other hand, being able to live in someone's house is representative in itself.

"It's very casual here in Hongu." Concubine Shu smiled: "You don't have to use these clichés to put on a façade. I'm just asking in vain, if someone is difficult for you because of the Lu family, you just have to tell this palace, and this palace will deal with them! ”

"Thank you, Lady." Xia Xiaodong expressed his gratitude very respectfully.

Concubine Shu raised her eyes and looked at the other show girls who were still sitting at the table, and instructed the palace people around her, "Let them all disperse." The palace fell in love with Miss Xia, and Miss Xia stayed for a while and went back later. ”

Congenial? Just said these two sentences, what kind of fate?

Xia Xiaodong just lowered his head and looked at the thin white tea bowl, as if the most beautiful danqing was depicted on it.

Of course, the show girls all bowed obediently and retreated, and many of them looked left and right at Xia Xiaodong several times.

How to vote for the princess is really knowledgeable. Look at people, just sit honestly, that's it!

"Do you know Qiao Qiao'er?" Seeing that the last show girl had retreated, Concubine Shu put down the teacup in her hand and asked a question that Xia Xiaodong never expected.

Does Qiao Qiaoer have anything to do with herself? Is there one?

"Back to Concubine Shu's words," Xia Xiaodong pondered for a moment: "Qiao Qiao'er is also a group of show girls in this batch, and she lives not far away in the summer resort. ”

Concubine Shu had the urge to roll her eyes. I also said that I was going back to the palace, but I didn't say it at all, right? This girl was simply born for the court, and she knows how to speak in the palace too well.

"Speaking of which, Qiao'er is still a relative of the palace." Concubine Shu said without any emotion: "Back then, my cousin married Qiao'er's father, and now Qiaofu Yin Qiaohou Ce. ”

Xia Xiaodong alarm clock alarm bell is loud.

In this way, is Qiao Qiao'er Concubine Li Shufei's...... Cousin niece? Or a cousin's niece? Anyway, it's pretty much .......

"But she's been pointed out to the Nine Emperors, which is not bad." Concubine Shu continued to say lightly.

On the day of the draft, Qiao Qiaoer was assigned to the Nine Emperors as a side concubine, and this Xia Xiaodong already knew about it. But this news, after turning around in Concubine Shu's mouth, has a different meaning.

Concubine Li Shu is the biological mother of the Sixth Prince, and her cousin and niece will marry the Ninth Prince. And the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince are both strong contenders for the throne.

Could it be that Qiao Qiao'er was sent to the Infernal Affairs of the Nine Emperor Princes?

No, this Infernal Affairs is too obvious. If you have the heart to inquire, you will definitely be able to inquire about the relationship between Qiao Qiaoer and Concubine Li Shu.

Even if the Nine Emperor Princes themselves don't care, as long as they are beautiful, there must be strategists and other characters around him.

Well? Xia Xiaodong remembered again, Qiao Qiaoer didn't seem to be born to Qiao Fuyin's wife, that is, she and Concubine Li Shufei were not really related.

Not only is there no relation, maybe Concubine Li Shufei may not like her. Who would like a child born to their cousin-in-law and his little wife?
