Although Concubine Gong's invitation made the Yuan family feel strange, Qi Mo had also told her before leaving that it was best not to have any negotiations with Qi Hua's gang, and the Yuan family kept it in mind.

Originally, Qi Hua was the prince, and he was in the harem on weekdays, so he didn't have much chance to meet Qi Hua.

But Concubine Gong is different, her status is noble, and her status is second only to the queen and the imperial concubine, so the Yuan family has no choice, because the palace maid who delivered the decree is waiting outside, and she doesn't even have time to find an excuse to call her sick.

As if she suddenly remembered it today, without warning, Concubine Gong's invitation reached Yuan's face.

"Mother, why don't we go." The palace maid reminded: "The slave maid heard that this concubine Gong, although it seems to be charitable, but in fact she is a ruthless person, she will not invite the maiden over for no reason." ”

Yuan Shi tightened his brows: "Even if you know, what can you do, in this palace, she is the emperor's concubine, and I am just the concubine of the fourth prince, if I don't go, I don't know what she will say ugly things in front of the emperor." ”

She stood up, asked the palace maid to change into suitable clothes for herself, and followed the palace maid who led the way outside to Concubine Gong's bedroom.

Hearing that the person arrived, Concubine Gong enthusiastically got up and went out to greet her in person, and took the initiative to take Yuan's hand into the inner hall, the hospitality on the table was exquisite, but Yuan didn't dare to move, just smiled to keep his composure on his face, and carefully coped with Concubine Gong's question.

"Look at you kid, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've lost weight like this, isn't it that Your Royal Highness has left, and you can't even eat well." She looked at Yuan teasingly, patting the back of the latter's hand affectionately.

Yuan was a little uncomfortable. smiled, and took the opportunity to withdraw his hand with the hair in his ear, "I will pray for the blessing of the Fourth Highness in the palace every day." I hope he can be safe and come back as soon as possible, but fortunately, the Bodhisattva heard my words, and within a month, His Royal Highness will be able to return, and I have nothing to worry about. ”

Concubine Gong praised without hesitation: "The Fourth Highness is brave, and he has made immortal feats at such a young age. Only your birth and beauty can be worthy of him, he is a rare person in this palace, I heard that your feelings are like glue. It's really enviable. ”

Yuan showed a little wry smile in his eyes, but said: "The relationship between the emperor and Niangniang is the envy of others, who in this palace can be more liked by the emperor than Niangniang." ”

Concubine Gong laughed when she heard this, "Your mouth is really good at saying nice things." Actually, I'm worried about my emperor.

They are husband and wife. From the time of marriage to the present, there have been a few days without quarrels, and the third imperial concubine is not sensible to you, and today she quarreled with the third highness.

I, the concubine, am old, and I am not on the same line as the children's thoughts, and they can't listen to what they say, so I let you come over to enlighten and enlighten.

You're all young girls. Maybe you can talk about going all the way, and you can also talk about how you got along with the Four Highnesses. Let her learn, you can't let the Third Highness learn how to get along with her. ”

Yuan hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Niangniang is too modest, the third imperial concubine has a mellow character, and the custom-made is better than me, but her temperament is a little straighter, which is a little conflicting with the third highness, but both of them are a pair made in heaven, and others can't compare." ”

"You don't have to be so polite." Concubine Gong raised her hand and said with a smile: "So, do you agree?" Then I'll let someone take you to the bedroom of the third princess, you have a good chat, if you can untie her heart knot, it would be great, tell me if you have any wishes, no matter what, I will promise you. ”

Yuan's heart was 10,000 unwilling, but he couldn't say anything negative, so he could only nod silently, and after saying goodbye to Concubine Gong, he followed the palace maid to the bedroom of the third imperial concubine Zhang.

The palace maid cautiously followed Yuan's side, and asked in a low voice when people were unprepared: "Niangniang, is she really just asking you to enlighten the third imperial concubine?" ”

At least for now, it seems that everything is normal.

Yuan's eyes signaled her not to talk too much, although her face was calm and waveless, she was still vigilant in her heart, although she didn't know what Concubine Gong was thinking, but she didn't think that the latter called herself, just to enlighten the third imperial concubine.

Zhang's mood was as Concubine Gong said, and before he entered the house, he heard the latter's low cry, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Niangniang, the fourth imperial concubine has come to see you." The palace maid reported.

"The Fourth Imperial Concubine?" Zhang's face was stunned, very puzzled, as if he didn't expect Yuan, who hadn't spoken a few words to him, to come to see her.

Yuan followed the palace maid in, and greeted him with an eager smile, "Sister, with such a good-looking appearance, wouldn't it be a pity if she cried." ”

Although the relationship is rusty, the people in the palace are good at this set, even if it is the first time they meet, they can instantly have a good relationship like sisters for many years.

Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, got up to sit down with Yuan, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's a joke for my sister, my sister has a deep relationship with His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness, how do you know my troubles, since I married His Royal Highness, I haven't been happy for a day." ”

Yuan Shi saw that the emotions in her eyes did not seem to be fake, and the distress on her face was also real, and she had long heard that the relationship between the third prince and the third princess was not good, and then she thought of her own situation, and couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"Hey--under every glamorous appearance, there must be a heart full of holes, I envy you, and you can quarrel with the third prince-"

Zhang Shi showed a puzzled look: "It's good for husband and wife to respect each other like guests, it's the first time I've heard that someone thinks it's good to quarrel, if you say that, I will think that you are deliberately mocking me." ”

Yuan Shi hurriedly apologized and shook his head: "I didn't mean that, it's just that His Royal Highness is a gentle person, and he treats me well, but it's just his good-"

It's just that his goodness, with rustiness, is more like a responsibility, a kind of silence, a kind of indifference, like to complete the task, so he does it, but he never cares.

Yuan's face was bitter, how could she say these words, the Third Highness and the Third Imperial Concubine could at least copy the house, but she and Qi Mo didn't even say much, Qi Mo did everything very well, so good that he felt embarrassed and alienated, he didn't treat himself like a wife, more like a guest from afar.

If she could, she would rather argue with Qi Mo, at least then, the two of them still had something to say.

"Why does my sister have such an expression? But what did I say that made my sister sad? Seeing that her expression was really distressed, Zhang couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Shi came back to his senses suddenly, shook his head with a smile, and said helplessly: "I just think of some bitter things, people live for a lifetime, who can live easily, sister must learn to enlighten herself."

If you want to open more, you can't keep an eye on one place, let yourself see more widely, listen more, so that you think, the less, Concubine Gong asked me to persuade my sister, but I don't have any good strategy, I'm just used to self-deception, used to not caring about anything. ”

Zhang looked at her as if he didn't understand, and only smiled for a long time: "My sister is younger than me, but she understands more than me, and her heart is wider than mine. ”

Letter?! Yuan Shi showed a rare smile of relief on his face, and nodded shyly: "I sent a peace letter back, and I took it with me day and night." ”

Zhang immediately showed a curious smile and urged: "Sister, hurry up and take it out for me to see, and it also makes me envious." (To be continued.) )
