There was a buzz of words in the waiting crowd, and after standing so straight for an hour, these noble ladies who had been pampered every day were a little impatient.

Qin Nanxi quietly moved her feet hidden under her skirt, and the soreness between her ankle bones came straight up, but her upright body bones did not move at all. Xiao Luomei, who was beside her, glanced at her considerately, and there was a faint warning under the comfort in the eyes handed over.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound. I saw that after the palace room was illuminated, two gray orchid-clothed inner eunuchs walked out, each holding an apricot-yellow glazed palace lamp, and behind the fish came into the eight pairs of snow-clothed palace laves, holding gold festivals, or carrying gilt incense burners, incense boxes, or holding red gold plates, treasure bottles, and finally with a pair of inner eunuchs. As soon as the inner servants were in shape, they heard a tall voice outside the hall preach: "The noble concubine has arrived!" ”

Everyone in the hall was busy kneeling on the ground, Qin Nanxi bowed down, only to see a long grape-purple silver silk trimmed skirt in front of him, followed by four pairs of white-clothed palace laves.

All of a sudden, the congratulatory praise in the hall continued, and the noble concubine who sat on the couch of the red sandalwood carved hundred birds and the phoenix hibiscus was gladly gifted one by one, and occasionally cared for the lady or lady who worshiped the birthday for a few words, and there was no obvious difference between relatives and alienation.

In the middle of the morning, a group of noble ladies in the hall congratulated their birthdays, and only then did they hear the pleasant voice of Concubine Xiao Gui from above: "You have been waiting for a long time, and you have worked hard, so sit down." ”

Everyone thanked them in unison, and sat down gently on the chairs brought by the palace people one by one. After receiving the tea from Gong E, they each bowed their heads and held tea, and the hall was silent.

Concubine Xiao Gui smiled faintly: "You ladies and ladies don't need to be so restrained, it's rare to get together so neatly today, everyone should just come to the palace to sit and talk with the palace casually." ”

Everyone hurriedly laughed, but no one dared to miss the slightest rule. In the afterglow, I saw Concubine Xiao Gui's soft white hands, gently rubbing the green and transparent jade Ruyi in her palm, and wearing a pair of red gold and emerald armor on her fingers. The sharp nail end gently crossed Ruyi, making a faint but sharp sound, which swayed to Qin Nanxi's heart, and her tense heartstrings were even more frightened.

In his ears, the voices of Concubine Xiao Gui and Yue Ruoshui dripping through the chime rose again: "This palace has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and it is also boring for a long time. Rare today, the ladies came with many delicate and lovely jacks. Look at these children, all the flowers are as lovely, and I really like the palace from the bottom of my heart! Before the concubine could speak, the ladies got up again, and bowed down with the thousand catties of Yingying beside them.

"Get up, get up, get up!" Xiao Guitai smiled slightly, turned around, and said to Xiao Luomei, who had been sitting quietly on one side: "Mei'er, you used to come to the palace with your mother to ask for peace, and you were also very clever in the past, why are you so restrained today?" Don't be restrained, this palace loves to listen to you talk and laugh. As she spoke, the noble concubine stretched out her hand to Xiao Luomei and beckoned her to approach.

Xiao Luomei's hands hanging down her knees unconsciously clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. When she was not out of the cabinet, she would indeed enter the palace with her uncle and wife and ask her aunt Xiao Guifei for peace, but she was always cautious and did not dare to act beyond the rules, let alone laugh in front of the concubine. And her concubine and aunt are also cold to her, the niece who came out of the concubine, and the two have never had the opportunity to get close.

However, today, the noble concubine was indifferent to her usual coldness, and she only wanted to recruit her, and said that she liked to hear her laugh...... Xiao Luomei's mind was racing.

Last night, Qin Nanfu said that although he had repeatedly expressed the thoughts of the current emperor Qin family on that matter. However, the emperor always kept silent, and Qin Nanfu was very worried...... Therefore, she was instructed to convey Qin Nan's false response. Qin Nanfu really didn't guess wrong, it seems that today's noble concubine must be mentioned in public, and behind this is actually the holy will.

Slowly getting up, when Xiao Luomei and Qin Nanxi staggered, the eyes that fell on her were pleading and pleading.

Walking to the hall with dignity, she bowed to the ground and said lightly: "Your concubine is blessed with Jin'an!" ”。

"You kid, the older you get, the more distant you get! Come on! The noble concubine smiled lightly, her eyes were kind and gentle, and her outstretched hand beckoned to her again.

Seeing this, a big palace maid beside the noble concubine hurried down and helped Xiao Luomei get up.

Xiao Luomei got up according to the situation, led by the big palace maid, walked to the concubine in a dignified manner, stretched out her hands, held them by her, and said with a smile: "The courtiers are fortunate to see that in the past, only because of the favor of the concubine Niangniang, she dared to offend Tianwei and make a few nonsense. But today's days are noble, and no matter how vulgar and deceitful the courtiers are, they don't dare to laugh. ”

"Look at this kid, he's getting smarter!" The noble concubine took Xiao Luomei's hand, smiled at the nobles of the Houmen at the head of the group, turned around, and looked at her carefully for a long time before saying: "I want this palace to say, you little monkey is not afraid of any noble days, but after drinking the elixir for a few years, you have become more agile and smart!" Ladies talk about it, but it's not? ”

"Exactly! The well in Lord Qin's house is famous in the city. It is said that in the first dynasty, Ganoderma lucidum was born on the well platform! Isn't this kind of spiritual water the elixir and jade liquid? Aren't the people nourished by the water all delicate and smart? A lady in red at the head of the concubine took over the conversation. His expression and words were like that of an idler watching from the shore with his hands in his hands, waiting with great interest to watch the moment when the fisherman reeled in his nets.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Qin Nanxi quietly looked up. I saw that Concubine Xiao Gui was leaning on the red sandalwood carved hibiscus couch at this time, leaning on the tuanhua brocade cushion on her side with one hand, still holding the green and transparent little Ruyi in her hand, and holding Xiao Luomei's hand with the other hand, rubbing it with love. The concubine was wearing a grape purple dress. I think it should be that after she received the congratulations, she changed into an ordinary dress to meet these nobles.

Although the shape is ordinary, the dress, which holds her delicate body in it, makes her even more beautiful and noble. And the purple color on her body also showed a brilliant luxury and elegance. In the smoky red and purple, there is a layer of light gray, as if it is the clouds under the sunset, gorgeous and elegant.

Qin Nanxi looked at her silently and sighed secretly, in this world, I am afraid that only a woman like Concubine Xiao Gui can control such a dangerous color so easily. She is clearly nearly half a hundred, but she can be maintained very well, because she has never given birth, and her body is still slender and slender. The soft white skin is as moist as fat, as smooth and delicate as white porcelain, reflecting the morning light outside the hall, and she feels more and more like a fairy concubine.

Qin Nanxi was looking at it with great attention, but she saw that Concubine Xiao Gui glanced at the lady in red who answered the call with satisfaction, and held Xiao Luomei's hand and smiled: "Exactly, Qin Mansion is really a treasure in the city." Let's not talk about the two adults of the Qin family, how the emperor relied on them. Just look at this little monkey in my family, it's only been a few years since I got married? is so smart and smart. Thinking about the child born in the Qin family, it must be even more gratifying! Quick, quickly call Miss Qin out, let this palace take a good look! ”

Qin Nanxi was shocked when she heard this, but she also returned to her usual look in an instant. I expected it, I just wanted to get lucky, I didn't want to, and what I couldn't hide from was not able to escape after all. Biting the corner of his lip fiercely, Qin Nanxi got up and walked forward, walking towards the hall step by step, and several figures in his mind couldn't help but fly alternately. Daddy's thin figure, his brother's stubborn face, Situ Yi's resolute back, and Situ Chong's concerned expression......
