"Xiaotang, if I can get my wish this time, I will definitely not forget your benefits." Ji Xiaolian said to Ji Xiaotang secretly.

Ji Xiaotang didn't speak, just glanced at Ji Xiaolian.

Ji Xiaolian was afraid that Ji Xiaotang wouldn't believe her, so she raised a hand and swore: "Xiaotang, don't worry, I mean what I say." …… You know what Xiaoqin is like. Now that our Ji family, our two sisters are the closest, if we don't support each other, who else can we count on. ”

Mama Fang was already urging in front, so Ji Xiaotang nodded to Ji Xiaolian and was noncommittal.

But in Ji Xiaolian's opinion, Ji Xiaotang acquiesced in her words, which made Ji Xiaolian very happy.

Ji Xiaotang took Ji Xiaolian to see the Empress Dowager Han.

"Xiaolian is getting more and more handsome." Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaolian carefully, and then looked at Ji Xiaotang, "What a pair of sisters." They all said that the three sisters of the Zheng family are three peerless sister flowers, and in my opinion, your sisters are even better. ”

Ji Xiaolian was praised by the Empress Dowager Han, and she was even more happy, and after a while, she was talking to the Empress Dowager Han, but Ji Xiaotang rarely spoke.

Ji Xiaolian obviously did her homework, inquired about Empress Dowager Han's preferences clearly, picked up what Empress Dowager Han liked to hear, and coaxed Empress Dowager Han to smile.

This side of her is rarely revealed in Xinhuatang, and if you think about it, the people in Xinhuatang are not worth her such effort.

Looking at Empress Dowager Han's eyes coldly, Ji Xiaotang probably knew Ji Xiaolian's fate in his heart.

Seeking benevolence, she has already done everything she can do for Ji Xiaolian.

When Ji Xiaolian left Cining Palace. The face is full of spring breeze pride.

Not long after she left, Empress Han came.

Because of her poor health, Queen Han rarely left Kunning Palace. Empress Dowager Han has long since exempted her from asking for peace. Ji Xiaotang knew that Empress Han was coming, but he didn't receive the call of Empress Dowager Han, so he didn't go to the main hall, but only took a book in the side hall and looked at it slowly.

Empress Han has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, she came to the Empress Dowager Han to discuss the candidate female official, and she has something to discuss with the Empress Dowager Han.

“…… These days. I secretly paid attention, looking at these girls, there was only one Ji Xiaotang. It can still get into my eyes. According to the previous arrangement of the queen mother, leave her in the palace. As for what position to seal, I have to ask the queen mother to come up with an idea. I mean, the rank can't be lowered......" Empress Han said to Empress Dowager Han.

Queen Han has long taken a fancy to Ji Xiaotang. And originally, Empress Dowager Han also wanted Ji Xiaotang to stay in the palace. Queen Han is coming over now, and she also knows that King An, King Su and Qi Younian are all in love with Ji Xiaotang, and they can't help but have a lot of dreams at night, and they want to settle Ji Xiaotang's name earlier.

But to the surprise of Empress Han, Empress Dowager Han did not nod immediately, but groaned.

"Queen Mother," Queen Han leaned forward slightly, "What does the Queen Mother mean?" ”

"Qingqing. Ji Xiaotang ......, there are so many girls. De Jong is full of good words, you can choose another one. Empress Dowager Han pondered for a long time before she opened her mouth and said to Empress Han.

Empress Han's nickname is Qingqing, even between her aunt and nephew, Empress Dowager Han hasn't called her that for a long time.

Queen Han was surprised.

"Queen Mother, what kind of truth is this, didn't we all talk about it before?"

"I naturally have my point." Empress Dowager Han said this, but she didn't seem to intend to explain in detail to Empress Han, "Ji Xiaotang should not stay in the palace." ”

Empress Han is used to Empress Dowager Han's dictatorship, but these days she is bent on asking Ji Xiaotang to stay in the palace as a concubine, and it is best to give birth to an heir for her and Emperor Longqing as soon as possible. This idea has almost become an obsession, so Empress Dowager Han's decision was unacceptable to her for a while.

"Mother, what is this for? Ji Xiaotang, no matter his background or his own appearance, is the best candidate. Queen Han was a little stubborn.

Empress Dowager Han looked at Empress Han silently for a while, and was a little dissatisfied with Empress Han's questioning.

Queen Han was not such a person originally, but it was the illness of these years that made her change her temperament at a young age. Even if it is an aunt and nephew, Empress Dowager Han still doesn't like Empress Han's current temperament.

However, no matter how impatient she is, there is always the queen of the harem and her niece in front of her.

"You know all about these days. The question at hand is not whether to let Ji Xiaotang stay in the palace, but whether to keep Ji Xiaotang. Empress Dowager Han's tone was gloomy and her eyes were cold.

Empress Han subconsciously fought a cold war. Of course, she heard the meaning of Empress Dowager Han's words.

Empress Dowager Han is thinking about getting rid of Ji Xiaotang.

No wonder Empress Dowager Han asked Ji Xiaotang to enter the palace so early, no wonder since Ji Xiaotang entered the palace, Empress Dowager Han has given her special grace. It turned out that Empress Dowager Han had this plan in her heart.

Empress Dowager Han is so kind to Ji Xiaotang, if Ji Xiaotang has any accident, naturally no one will suspect Empress Dowager Han.

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Ji Xiaotang's life experience, I always feel a little relieved." Empress Dowager Han waved her hand and motioned to Queen Han not to ask, and listened to her, "Moreover, she was able to make Qi Younian, King Su and King An all treat each other with all their hearts. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." When Queen Han saw what Empress Dowager Han said categorically, she knew that there was no room for negotiation, so she lowered her head and responded.

Empress Dowager Han said that Queen Han didn't believe it. But it's just because Ji Xiaotang robbed Qi Younian.

Thinking like this in her heart, Queen Han naturally wouldn't say it.

can't use Ji Xiaotang, Queen Han is a little worried. She put almost all her mind on observing Ji Xiaotang, and she had no impression of other girls at all.

"Isn't there another Ji Xiaolian." Empress Dowager Han glanced at Empress Han and roughly guessed her thoughts. "It's also from the Ji family, but it's not quite the same as Ji Xiaotang. Although it is not as good as Ji Xiaotang, he is also a pretty good candidate. …… Didn't she go to see you again? ”

"Yes." Empress Han nodded, and Empress Dowager Han mentioned it, she had an impression of Ji Xiaolian. "It's just a little bit quick-lived."

"She came to see me, too. There's nothing wrong with rushing for quick success. Compared with Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaolian is much easier to control, isn't she? Mrs. Han smiled behind her.

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

Empress Han leaves Cining Palace. She didn't go to see Ji Xiaotang again. For not being able to keep Ji Xiaotang, she still has a faint regret. As for Ji Xiaolian......

is also the daughter of the Ji family, what kind of life experience, what kind of red face and trouble, the queen mother is for her own daughter after all. If Qi Younian wants to die completely, of course, he wants Ji Xiaotang to completely disappear from this world.

Ji Xiaotang is dead, and Qi Younian may be sad for a while. But he is the son of the mighty marquis's mansion. Can he still raise troops to rebel for Ji Xiaotang?

"The dead can never fight with the living." Empress Dowager Han muttered to herself.

The dead can only occupy a handful of loess. The glory and wealth of this world are naturally in the hands of the living.

……

The banquet in the Imperial Garden, because Empress Dowager Han left the table halfway, ended halfway. Empress Dowager Han recuperated for two days. I feel like I'm in good shape. When I had the spirit again, I planned to hold another banquet.

She called Queen Han and Concubine Zheng Guifei to Cining Palace to discuss this matter together, and Ji Xiaotang was also called over to help with ideas.

Several people discussed that this banquet was not in the Imperial Garden, but simply held in the Cining Palace. The selection of female officials in the palace has come to the present, and the time spent before has lasted for a long time. It really shouldn't be delayed any longer.

After this banquet in Cining Palace, the fate of all the girls who are running for election can be settled.

Concrete things. Naturally, there were the following people to do it, and soon, Empress Dowager Han made a decision. After the matter was decided, Empress Dowager Han did not let a few people go, but left them behind, and slowly talked about the more outstanding girls.

"Your little sister has a bit of your charm back then." Empress Dowager Han said to Concubine Zheng with a smile.

Concubine Zheng's face changed slightly, and then she smiled again.

"The Queen Mother has won the award, she is the eldest in the family, in fact, she is spoiled, and she can still pretend to be an adult in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, but she is actually ignorant......"

Empress Dowager Han smiled and turned her head to look at Ji Xiaotang again.

"Among these girls, there is also Xiaotang's eldest sister, who is very outstanding."

After this time, a palace maid brought tea and sent it. When everyone was talking, they naturally didn't pay attention to the palace maid who served tea. The little palace maid hung her head slightly, holding the tea tray and walking to Ji Xiaotang's approach.

Because it was in Cining Palace, the people who served the Empress Dowager Han, even if it was a little palace maid, Ji Xiaotang treated each other politely, so he sat up straight slightly, and his eyes fell on the little palace maid.

Accidents happened at this moment.

The little palace maid didn't know what she had tripped under her feet, so she threw herself at Ji Xiaotang, and at the same time, the tea tray in her hand was tilted, and she saw that a steaming tea splashed straight on Ji Xiaotang's face.

If he is splashed on his face by this tea, Ji Xiaotang will be the lightest to break his appearance.

Thanks to Ji Xiaotang's attention to the little palace maid first, she is not mentally retarded, and her reaction is faster than that of ordinary girls. She hurriedly reached out to cover her face with her sleeve, and leaned back quickly.

Ji Xiaotang's idea is very simple, at least to avoid face.

Mama Cheng followed Ji Xiaotang to serve, and she was also busy reaching out to protect her.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Xiaotang protected her face embarrassmently, and a cup of hot tea was almost spilled on her sleeve. Through the sleeves, Ji Xiaotang felt that the back of his hand was hot~spicy~spicy.

Still wounded.

At this time, Mama Cheng had also protected Ji Xiaotang.

The little palace maid fell at Ji Xiaotang's feet, but instead of pleading guilty in fear, she immediately grabbed the broken porcelain piece on the ground, stood up and stabbed Ji Xiaotang.

Mama Cheng grabbed ~ the little palace maid's hand.

The little palace maid was caught~ but she still refused to give up, struggling desperately to stab Ji Xiaotang.

At this time, Ji Xiaotang finally saw the appearance of the little palace maid clearly.

"Pianpin!"

The one who dressed up as a palace maid was Yang Pianpian. Yang Pianpian lost a lot of weight, her cheekbones were slightly raised, and she looked at Ji Xiaotang with a very hideous expression.

was called to break her identity, Yang Pianpian was no longer silent, she simply shouted.

"Ji Xiaotang, you return my family's life!"

And at this time, the people serving in the hall also reacted, and quickly subdued Yang Pianpian with all hands and feet.

Empress Dowager Han immediately called Ji Xiaotang to her, with a look of anger and regret on her face. asked Ji Xiaotang if he was hurt.

Ji Xiaotang injured the back of his hand, because he was protected by sleeves, the injury was not serious. But it was also noticeably red and swollen.

"Oops, this burn is the most powerful, if you are not careful, it will give birth to ~ blisters after a while, and besides, it is easy to leave scars." Concubine Zheng Guifei was beside Ji Xiaotang, and she said in a slurp.

One can't get it right. Ji Xiaotang's flawless hand will be scarred from now on.

"Go and call the Imperial Doctor." Empress Dowager Han immediately ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor, and asked the palace maid who served her personally to get the ointment from her makeup box. "It's specially made in the palace, and if you use it well, it won't leave a scar."

"It's not a small injury," said the initial shock. Ji Xiaotang was already very calm at the moment. "Please also ask the Queen Mother for permission. Please ask the doctor to take care of my upbringing grandmother's injuries. ”

Mama Cheng was stabbed by Yang Pianpian because she was protecting Ji Xiaotang, and her arm was already red.

Fortunately, Yang Pianpian is weak, and the porcelain piece is not sharp, otherwise I don't know what Mama Cheng will be injured.

When Empress Dowager Han heard Ji Xiaotang say this, she naturally nodded in agreement.

Soon, the imperial doctor arrived and looked at Ji Xiaotang's injuries. On the spot, he prescribed a prescription to remove fire and recuperate, as for the ointment for external use. The Empress Dowager Han was naturally the best in her hands, and the imperial doctor did not prescribe another prescription.

Ji Xiaotang did not rush to take the medicine, but watched the imperial doctor diagnose and treat Mama Cheng first.

Mama Cheng's injury was not serious, it was just a skin injury, and the doctor prescribed a prescription for internal and external use, and instructed some dietary taboos, saying that it was no major problem.

Ji Xiaotang was relieved.

"You Nizi, you are still taking care of someone else at this time, come over and take medicine." Empress Dowager Han greeted Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly walked over.

Mama Fang had already taken out a delicate white porcelain box and opened it, and the ointment inside was pink, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance.

This is the best ointment that Empress Dowager Han said.

Empress Dowager Han wanted to personally give Ji Xiaotang the medicine, and after taking a look at the ointment, she looked around slightly, and her eyelids slightly lifted and glanced at Mama Fang.

"This one is still a little bit worse, go get that luodian box, that can keep Xiaotang from leaving the slightest scar."

Mama Fang seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly agreed, and came back after a while, and sure enough, she was holding a delicate luodian box in her hand.

The ointment in the Raden box was also pink, with a faint medicinal fragrance, no different from Fang Cai's ointment.

Empress Dowager Han personally medicated Ji Xiaotang, and the ointment was applied to the red and swollen burns, which was cool and silky, making Ji Xiaotang feel much more comfortable immediately.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Ji Xiaotang thanked the Empress Dowager Han.

Empress Dowager Han gave the entire box of ointment to Ji Xiaotang and told Ji Xiaotang to be diligent in taking medicine.

"Such a pair of good hands, if they leave a scar because of this, it will be a tyrannical thing." Empress Dowager Han said regretfully.

After dealing with the injuries of Ji Xiaotang and Mama Cheng here, Empress Dowager Han remembered the person who injured Ji Xiaotang.

Yang Pianpian has been guarded by people all the time and has not been taken away.

“…… If it weren't for Xiaotang to intercede for you, how could you survive and enter the palace. You actually want to harm Xiaotang, you are really going to take revenge, what an ignorant woman! Mrs. Han rebuked Yang Pianpian coldly.

At this moment, Ji Xiaotang knew that Empress Dowager Han asked Yang Pianpian to be brought into the palace, but she actually stayed in Cining Palace to serve.

Yang Pianpian was able to come in to offer tea, and obviously became the person who served the Empress Dowager Han closely.

"The maid is only grateful to the Queen Mother, it was the Queen Mother who gave the maid her life. Ji Xiaotang is the enemy of the servant. Yang Pianpian's face was still distorted, and a pair of eyes almost burst into flames of anger.

She was found assassinating Ji Xiaotang, seeing that her life was in danger, but she had no fear or regret, it seemed that if she was given a chance, she would still kill Ji Xiaotang.

"The Yang family rebelled, and the nine clans should be punished. If you can survive, you should be grateful. Such a favor will be avenged, how dare I keep you by my side. Empress Dowager Han's gaze turned to Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, she stabbed you." According to you, what to do with her. ”

Empress Dowager Han actually handed over the decision to dispose of Yang Pianpian to Ji Xiaotang.

"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Pian Pian has now served the Queen Mother, and naturally the Queen Mother is in charge. Ji Xiaotang thought for a while, then got up and said, "However, if the Queen Mother asks Xiaotang." Xiaotang had the courage to plead with Pianpian. Just because she had a sudden change and lost her mind for a while, please let the Queen Mother drop her lightly. ”

"Ji Xiaotang, I don't need your fake kindness, I won't accept your affection." Yang Pianpian immediately shouted.

In front of the Empress Dowager Han, without Empress Dowager Han's orders, a grandmother came over next to her and slapped Yang Pianpian's mouth.

Yang Pianpian's body was crooked after being beaten, and the corners of her mouth immediately saw bloodshots.

"Xiaotang, you are too kind-hearted." Empress Dowager Han said with a smile, "However, since Xiaotang pleaded, the mourning family will give her another chance." Come on, drag Yang Pianpian out and hit thirty boards. ”

Empress Dowager Han's voice landed, and someone immediately dragged Yang Pianpian out.

Thirty boards, for a weak woman, is likely to be fatal.

"If she can survive after thirty boards, let her live." Empress Dowager Han said lightly, and there was even a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. "Xiaotang, what do you think?"

"The Queen Mother's handling is extremely fair."

Empress Dowager Han nodded.

Empress Han and Concubine Zheng said goodbye together, and Ji Xiaotang also withdrew from the hall.

Walking down the steps, Ji Xiaotang did not go back to the side hall, but called Mama Fang to ask where Yang Pianpian was tortured.

"Does the county lord want to see it? It's very pickled, don't dirty the eyes of the county lord. Mama Fang said with a smile, she didn't think that after Fang Cai's matter, Ji Xiaotang would really not hate Yang Pianpian.

After pretending to be a philanthropist in front of the Empress Dowager Han, and now asking Yang Pianpian where he was executed, he should want to watch and relieve his hatred.

"I'll take a look and come back, and I'll ask Mama to make it easier." Ji Xiaotang didn't seem to see the smile in Mama Fang's eyes, and continued to ask. (To be continued......)
