Liu Shihua followed Concubine Ping out of Qifeng Palace, Liu Daimeng also followed, Liu Yingxue saw that Liu Daimeng looked preoccupied, she also took leave from Concubine Hui and followed behind Liu Daimeng.

Concubine Ping Guifei noticed that the two girls of the Liu family had something to say to Liu Shihua, and stopped, "Shihua, go back to the palace first, you stay here and talk to your sisters." ”

Concubine Ping is always so understanding, Liu Shihua glanced back at Liu Daimeng and Liu Yingxue, and replied lightly, "Niangniang, no need, there is nothing to say about poetry and painting." ”

At this moment, Liu Daimeng had already come to Liu Shihua, and said sarcastically with a smile, "I didn't expect the second sister to be so hidden, I have lived under the same roof with you for so many years, and I didn't even see that you still have such ability." ”

Liu Shihua smiled faintly and replied calmly, "The eldest sister didn't notice it, which means that you and my sister are not close enough." Today, she stole the limelight of the eldest sister, and the poetry and painting were very guilty, but Princess Linglong was arrogant and looked down on the eldest sister's dancing skills, and the poetry and painting were forced to dance, also to save some face for the Liu family. ”

"Liu Shihua, you ......" Liu Shihua made Liu Daimeng angry in a few words, but because of the presence of Concubine Ping, she was not easy to attack, and her face turned red.

Liu Shihua still smiled, "Big sister catches up, if you just want to be quick to speak for a while, the words have already been finished, you should go back, so as not to make the queen anxious." ”

"Second sister said it was funny, I came here to remind you, too much limelight will make people jealous, you must be careful." Liu Daimeng persuaded with a kind-hearted look.

Of course, Liu Shihua didn't believe that she was kindly reminded, and just wanted to send her away quickly, "It's rare that the big sister has such a heart, thank you for the reminder." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yingxue also came closer, and she said with a smile, "Congratulations to the second sister, you danced today, but you really beat the crowd and won the appreciation of the queen's mother......"

"I still have to accompany Concubine Ping back to the palace, if I have time to say anything, I will talk about it later. The eldest sister is in a bad mood today, if you have the leisure to persuade her. Before Liu Yingxue finished speaking, Liu Shihua waved her hand to interrupt it, and her voice was cold, as if she was dealing with a stranger.

Liu Yingxue was very surprised, Liu Shihua has always been close to her, but I don't know why she is so indifferent today.

Just when Liu Yingxue was stunned there, Liu Shihua and Concubine Ping had already walked away.

In the Zijin Palace, Concubine Ping leaned on the beauty, looking at Liu Shihua with lowered eyes.

"Why does Niang Niang look at the poems and paintings like this, is there something wrong with the poems and paintings?" Concubine Ping just stared at Liu Shihua, speechless for a long time, which made Liu Shihua's heart go up and down, and she asked boldly.

Concubine Ping shook her head, "No, no, your attitude towards Liu Yingxue today is much more indifferent, could it be that you believe the words of this palace?" ”

Liu Shihua was stunned, "I don't know." But in this palace, even though they are sisters, they should be more estranged, this time the dance will not be smooth sailing, right? Poetry and painting don't want to affect others. ”

Concubine Ping didn't expect that the reason why Liu Shihua alienated Liu Yingxue was that she was not afraid of affecting her. This is really a kind-hearted child.

However, Liu Shihua is right, such a big thing as a banquet and dancing will not be smooth sailing.

"You've thought it through." Concubine Ping paused, "Since this matter will cause trouble, do you know why the main palace of Qifeng Palace approves of you going to dance?" ”

Liu Shihua's eyes rolled and smiled lightly, "Niangniang probably thinks that since she has been pushed out, peace is destined to be broken, instead of hiding, it is better to show your strength, so that the opponent has some scruples even if she acts." ”

Concubine Ping nodded with satisfaction, "What a smart child, but even if it is a show, you must advance and retreat in a measured manner, and be well measured." As soon as this happens, there will be more things in the future than you imagined, and you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Liu Shihua nodded, "The poem and painting have been recorded, but ......"

"But what?"

"But the poetry and painting have disturbed the purity of the mother, and I really feel a little sorry for it." Liu Shihua said this, not politely, but really from the bottom of her heart welled up a sense of guilt, these days, Ping Guifei is good to her, she takes care of her and teaches her in her heart, and today it is an honor to cause such a thing, in the eyes of outsiders, but this will undoubtedly break the tranquility of the Zijin Palace.

Concubine Ping Guifei owed, picked up the jade cup and took a sip of tea gently, "This palace has never caused trouble, don't mess with what shouldn't be provoked, don't mess with what should be troubled, this palace will deal with it one by one, you don't have to worry." ”

The more Concubine Ping said this, the more Liu Shihua felt a little apologetic.

"Okay, let's talk about what to do now. Do you know the background of Princess Linglong? Concubine Ping's words changed, her face became serious, and she cut to the point.

Liu Shihua shook her head. She has also heard a lot about things in the palace, but Princess Linglong, she really hasn't heard of it. I heard that the emperor and the queen have only one daughter, Princess Zixia, but today's posture, Princess Linglong and the queen are very close, why is this?

"Princess Linglong is the daughter of the queen?" Liu Shihua knew that it was not, but he couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation, so he had to ask like this.

Concubine Ping shook her head in denial, "No, she is not the queen's biological daughter, but she has a great relationship with the queen." ”

Concubine Ping Guifei told Liu Shihua about Princess Linglong's life experience, and after listening, Liu Shihua felt a little sympathy for this princess who was born in the deep palace.

It turned out that Princess Linglong was born to the emperor and a palace maid, and the palace maid was the queen's personal princess, and she was also the queen's maid in marriage, and she was like a sister to the queen. The palace maid secretly fell in love with the emperor, had a relationship, and became pregnant. When the queen learned of this, she was furious, and the palace maid begged bitterly, and the queen remembered the sisterhood and finally agreed to keep the child alive. The palace maid is a sensible person, and after she gave birth to Linglong, she committed suicide.

Princess Linglong's biological mother died, Linglong was still young, just in time for the king of Zhao to find a princess of Dayan and the prince to marry, naturally no mother is willing to bear the pain, so the lonely Princess Linglong became the best candidate. Princess Linglong's mother was nameless and undivided, and the emperor remembered that she had a low status and no qualifications for marriage, so he decreed that she would be passed on to the queen, and the queen would raise her as an adult. Over the years, the queen has treated Linglong very well, but all this is nothing more than to cultivate a talented and beautiful princess for the Great Yan Kingdom.

"Alas! In this way, Princess Linglong is also a poor person. Liu Shihua couldn't help but sigh.

Concubine Ping smiled bitterly, "In this harem, which woman is not a pitiful person?" ”
