"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Concubine Ping asked seriously.

Liu Shihua didn't need to think much about this question, she had just knelt there for so long, she had already thought clearly, "Shihua shouldn't have gone to the second master without permission, and was caught by Concubine Hui." ”

After speaking, Liu Shihua looked at Concubine Ping timidly, waiting for her to speak.

Concubine Ping shook her head gently, "No, Concubine Hui embarrassed you, not because you did anything wrong, she came to this palace, if you really said it, it was this palace that affected you." ”

"Don't say that, it's the poetry and painting that don't understand and cause trouble for the mother." Liu Shihua heard a faint self-blame from Ping Guifei's words, she hurriedly took this matter on herself, for some reason, when she saw Ping Guifei's slightly melancholy expression, Liu Shihua's heart was a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Ping took Liu Shihua's hand and patted it lightly twice, "You still don't understand the things in this palace, this palace only hopes that you don't get involved and cause trouble for yourself." ”

Liu Shihua nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the poem and painting have been recorded." ”

"Yes. This palace said that you are at fault, not because you are reckless, but because you are gullible about the villain. Concubine Ping straightened up, and her face became serious.

"Gullible villains? Please make it clear. Liu Shihua didn't know why, and looked at Concubine Ping suspiciously.

"How do you think Concubine Hui knew that you went to the residence of the second prince?"

"This ......" Liu Shihua was stunned, just now she only cared about self-blame, she really didn't expect this, "Presumably Concubine Hui has eyes and ears." ”

Concubine Ping smiled helplessly, "No matter how suspicious Concubine Hui is, she won't send someone to keep an eye on her son, right?" ”

Concubine Ping's rhetorical question stopped Liu Shihua, yes, Murong Sheng is Concubine Hui's biological son, and it is impossible for her to be wary of him. Is this a coincidence? Liu Shihua asked herself in her heart, and immediately denied her opinion, she never believed in coincidence.

Concubine Ping was silent for a long time when she saw Liu Shihua, and then said, "You believe in Liu Yingxue so much? ”

"Cher?" Liu Shihua didn't believe that Liu Yingxue would do anything to be sorry for her, "Niangniang must have made a mistake, just now Xue'er was still pleading for Shihua in front of Concubine Hui, how could she betray me." ”

Concubine Ping bent the corners of her mouth, as if she was satirizing the innocence of Liu Shihua, "I don't know my heart when I know people." Maybe Liu Yingxue is simple by nature, but can you guarantee that she will not be swayed by Liu Daimeng? ”

Concubine Ping said a word to break the doubts in Liu Shihua's heart, Liu Yingxue really couldn't harm her, but if Liu Daimeng was a hindrance, it would really be hard to say. However, Liu Shihua still doesn't want to believe this fact, in her eyes, she has always regarded Liu Yingxue as a relative, if there is anyone in this world who Liu Shihua is concerned about, and can fight with his life to protect, I'm afraid only Liu Yingxue.

"Did you hear something?" Liu Shihua's mind is quite calm, since these words came out of the mouth of Concubine Ping, she must have real evidence, after all, Concubine Ping doesn't look like a person who tells right and wrong.

Concubine Ping smiled faintly and replied calmly, "If you don't have a few eyes and ears, it will be difficult to survive in this palace and ascend to the sky." The main palace has been operating in the palace for so many years, if you want to inquire about such a trivial matter, do you still need hearsay? If it weren't for the tip-off, how could this palace rush to save you. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, poetry and painting will be cautious." Liu Shihua's rationality and sensibility compete between belief and unbelief, it is impossible for Ping Guifei to talk nonsense, but Liu Shihua also does not want to believe such a thing, more than ten years of sisterhood, is it just a few words to fan the flames to be destroyed?

Concubine Ping probably saw Liu Shihua's thoughts, she did not debunk her, but changed the topic, "Tomorrow night, the queen wants to entertain everyone in the harem, and by the way, choose a dancer for the reception banquet of Prince Zhao, this palace heard that Liu Daimeng and Liu Yingxue have signed up to participate, are you willing to try?" ”

The reception banquet of Prince Zhao is equivalent to a state banquet, and it is a great honor to have the opportunity to dance at the state banquet. Not only Liu Daimeng and Liu Yingxue, many young ladies of the family have signed up for this competition, if they really win in the competition, they will definitely be famous all over the world, and they are likely to be favored by the son of a dignitary family at once, and they will be glorious for a lifetime.

Liu Shihua's dancing skills are outstanding, but few people know about it, even Liu Wanqing thinks that Liu Shihua can't understand music and rhythm, and doesn't know how to play the piano and chess.

Liu Shihua smiled lightly, "I'm not afraid of the mother's jokes, poetry and painting can't dance." The eldest sister is the first talented woman in Jiangnan, and her dancing skills are also overwhelming, I believe she will definitely surprise the queen and all the mothers. ”

Liu Shihua doesn't care about those false names, nor does she care about those glory, she just wants to live quietly, so for this kind of thing, she so readily refused.

Concubine Ping sighed regretfully, "What a good opportunity, many girls are scrambling to show themselves in front of the queen, you just hide behind, that's it, since that's the case, if you don't participate, don't participate." But tomorrow you remember to dress up nicely and go to the banquet with the main palace. ”

Liu Shihua smiled indifferently, as if she had not lost anything by refusing, "Shihua also knows that this is a great opportunity, but Shihua has never learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she is powerless." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Concubine Ping's eyes, "You are the daughter of the dignified governor, and you have never learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”

Liu Shihua nodded, "Well, Shihua was born in a lowly background, wandered outside since he was a child, and only returned to his father when he was six years old. I've always been busy doing some rough work at home, but I'm not really a lady. ”

"Alas! Poor boy! When Concubine Ping heard Liu Shihua say this, she couldn't help but feel distressed, and said comfortingly, "You are a clever child, this palace is very close to you, these days, you live in this Zijin Palace, there is a chance, this palace will teach you some beautiful etiquette and talents, and you will be able to marry in the future." ”

Although Liu Shihua didn't care about these things, she couldn't help but be moved in her heart when she heard Concubine Ping say this. Who said that Concubine Ping Guifei is impersonal and has a short temperament, she is obviously so kind. The people who criticize her probably don't understand the bitterness in her heart.

"Thank you for your love."

Concubine Ping nodded, looked at the sky, and sent Liu Shihua out, "Okay, it's not too early, you go back and rest first." ”

Leaving Concubine Ping's house, Liu Shihua's mood was restless for a long time, this is the first day of entering the palace, so many things have happened, no wonder people say that the palace gate is as deep as the sea! The high-flying and domineering Hui Guifei, the mysterious and unpredictable second prince, seems to be lonely and cold, but in fact she is empathetic and easy to handle things. And what about the Queen? Liu Shihua couldn't help but be a little curious, as the master of the harem, what kind of woman is she?
