"Since you didn't do it, why are you angry with yourself?" Bailiyan pushed Concubine Yan away from her embrace, and Concubine Yan wept and said: "The blame is on the concubine's head for something that is nothing, how can the concubine not be angry or annoyed?" ”

"Alright, alright! This matter will soon come to light, and when the time comes, I will give you a clean slate. After Bai Liyan finished speaking, he thought about it, his expression was puzzled, and he said to himself, "The crown princess has seen me twice, and she doesn't look like such a calm person!" ”

Concubine Yan's expression was covered by hair, although the tears on her face had not dried, but the expression on her face was very gloomy, her eyes kept turning, and she heard Bailiyan's whispered muttering, and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the crown princess is only respectful in front of you, and she doesn't look at the concubine in her eyes." ”

"Someone, bring food." Not wanting to continue discussing this matter, Bailiyan changed the topic, and with an order, the palace maid who was waiting outside walked in and put the meal on the table.

Bailiyan held Concubine Yan's hand and persuaded: "If you are sick, you must be able to eat to get better quickly, and your birthday is two days away, if you are sick, how can you celebrate your birthday?" ”

Concubine Yan was moved to tears, "The emperor still remembers the birthday of the concubine!" ”

Bailiyan said: "Grandpa Lu is nagging in my ear all day long, it's hard for me not to remember!" ”

Concubine Yan looked embarrassed, and hurriedly asked the palace maid to help her get out of bed and prepare for dinner. She gave Father-in-law Lu a lot of benefits, and asked Father-in-law Lu to deliberately mention her birthday in front of Bailiyan, but she didn't expect Bailiyan to see through it at a glance.

Bailiyan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her scrambled appearance, and said, "Say, what do you want to do on this year's birthday?" ”

When Concubine Yan heard this, she knelt down and said in fear: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"If you want to hold a birthday banquet, you can directly ask people to sue me, you don't have to turn around and knock on the side, you know, I have always disliked people who don't speak directly, for the sake of not being a big deal, this time, I don't care, get up!"

"Your Majesty." Concubine Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Ru Xi learned that Concubine Yan had sued the wicked person in front of Bailiyan, she could only shake her head and smile bitterly, and Aoyagi said indignantly: "This Concubine Yan is too much, obviously she sent someone to kill Miss, but she said that Miss framed her." ”

Ru Xi said: "Fortunately, the emperor is not an unreasonable person, he will not just listen to Concubine Yan's one-sided words, not to mention, I am now in the same boat as the prince, if Concubine Yan wants to take me under the knife, the prince will not sit idly by." ”

When Aoyagi heard this, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the young lady told the prince about revenge just to ask for a talisman. ”

Ru Xi nodded: "That's right, we don't know anything about this palace, if something happens, and no one helps us say a word, wouldn't it be miserable?" ”

As he was talking, three palace maids walked in, and the palace maid who walked in front said: "Princess, this is what the queen asked us to send over, saying that it was to make new clothes for the princess, and it will be the birthday of the princess in two days, and the emperor will hold a birthday banquet for the princess, and the princess will attend with the prince." ”

"Put it all on the table, thank the queen mother for me."

"Yes!" The palace maids withdrew in turn, Ru Xi picked up a pink embroidered satin and draped it on her body, and asked Aoyagi with a smile: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Aoyagi nodded vigorously: "It's good-looking." ”

"Then I'll reward you for this piece." Ru Xi threw the satin into Aoyagi's arms, and Aoyagi shook his head and said, "This is the queen who sent you to make clothes, I don't dare to accept it." ”

"Just make one body of clothes, so many pieces of cloth, it's more than enough to make three bodies, so you can take it."

Seeing Ru Xi's face, Aoyagi reluctantly accepted it.

This palace is deserted on weekdays, and it is rare to encounter a festive day, and this concubine's birthday gives everyone a reason to have fun.

Whether it is the Taile Department, the Shangyi Bureau, or the Imperial Dining Room, they are all very busy.

After two busy days, Concubine Yan's birthday has finally arrived, listening to music and singing during the day, and there are banquets and singing and dancing performances at night.

Early in the morning, Baili Yi sent someone over to spread the word and asked Ru Xi to go to Tongle Hall by himself.

Ru Xi and Aoyagi prepared and went out of the Garde Palace, which was built at the back of the Imperial Garden.

The imperial garden is full of flowers, and the palace concubines walking in the garden are competing for beauty.

The favored concubine can see the dragon face every other day, and the concubine who is not favored is only afraid that for a year and a half, or even several years, will not be able to see the dragon face, today, it is a good opportunity to see the dragon face, all of them are carefully dressed, lest others compare.

They all lived for the same man, and when you think about it, you feel sad.

Ru Xi walked slowly, because of her slightly strange dress, attracted the attention of many people, Aoyagi smiled: "I'll just say, Miss is very beautiful today." ”

Hearing this, Ru Xi turned her head and glared at Aoyagi.

Today, she has to face so many people, she doesn't want to be frightened by the red marks on her face, so she made a wreath, there is a tassel hanging down on the left side of the wreath, and there are a few small butterflies stuck on the tassels, this small decoration, just to cover the red marks on the face.

"Miss, who is that person in front?"

Hearing Aoyagi's words, Ru Xi looked up and saw a woman hurrying over, only to see her wearing a pale pink Luo skirt, holding a light yarn of the same color in her hand, and a golden jade belt tightly tied to her slender waist.

She walked up to Ru Xi and stood still, the beads on her hair shook and made a crisp sound, her good-looking eyes glanced at Ru Xi, and asked, "You are the crown princess?" ”

Ru Xi nodded: "I am, may I ask who you are ......"

Looking at the long hair hanging down behind her, she had already guessed her identity, and the woman snorted lightly: "When you see this princess, you still don't salute?" ”

Today, the emperor has only one princess, Baili Xue, who was born to Concubine Yan, and I heard that the emperor is very fond of this only daughter, so she stayed in the palace until she was seventeen years old and did not marry.

If she was before entering the palace, she could salute Baili Xue, but she had already entered the palace and became the crown princess, and the two were of the same generation, why did she salute Baili Xue?

didn't want to cause trouble, Ru Xi wanted to take a detour, Baili Xue stretched out her hand to stop her, and said unreasonably: "This princess's cat is gone, I order you to help me find it." ”

"Dare to ask the princess where she lost her cat?" Ru Xi asked patiently, raised her eyes, and saw Concubine Yan coming over accompanied by the palace maid from a distance, and Baili Xue said, "I lost it in this imperial garden." ”

Ru Xi quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go and help the princess find it." After saying that, he led Aoyagi to turn around and leave.

Concubine Yan saw the back of Ru Xi leaving, walked over with increased steps, and said angrily: "She is too bold, she dares to leave when she sees this palace?" ”

Baili Xue turned around when she heard the sound, stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Yan's hand and said coquettishly: "Mother, I let her go." ”
