After Yin Shisan left, Xi Shi went to Fuhuan Hall with Lingniang to find Sister Zheng Dan, and went to meet Su Yi with Sister Zheng Dan.

Although the three of them are the same concubines, Su Yi has a title as soon as she comes, and her status should be a little higher than them.

In order not to fall into the mouth, they all followed the etiquette of the palace.

Su thought they were coming, and after chatting a few words, he proposed to go to Mu Li together.

Xi Shi hurriedly stopped, and made Su Yi dismiss his subordinates with a look. Then he said: "If you go to find Mrs. Mu just here, others will inevitably think that we are forming a gang, so it is better to wait for the dinner party to meet her, and then go to see her." ”

Su Yi nodded, but still said with a little displeasure: "Although what you said has some truth, I heard you call Mu Li 'Mrs. Mu', and I really feel uncomfortable in my heart." I always feel that the name is too bad, and the friendship of our sisters is missing. ”

Xi Shi smiled bitterly and said, "The four of us sisters practice together and share weal and woe, and friendship is naturally indispensable. But sister, there is no room for so much sisterhood in the harem. ”

Su Yi and Zheng Dan both frowned when they heard this, and Xi Shi hurriedly continued to explain: "I mean, if the four of us are in a place like the harem, we are still sisters, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, we need to show the people of Wu that our favor for King Wu will be openly and secretly, so that at least we can make them believe that we are here to be King Wu's concubine, and not to work together to do something. ”

After some explanation, Su Yi finally stretched his brows, sighed and said: "Sister Xi Shi is really smart, it seems that if there is anything in the future, I must have asked you first." ”

Xi Shi smiled modestly, turned his head to look at Zheng Dan, who had been silent, but saw Zheng Dan lowering his eyebrows and looking very unhappy.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xi Shi held Zheng Dan's hand and asked.

Zheng Dan raised his head, looked at Xi Shi with complicated eyes and said, "Shi'er, you are like this now...... It's really not like you to be so scheming. ”

Xi Shi was stunned, thinking to herself that she had always been harmless to humans and animals in front of Sister Zheng Dan, and even if she had a thousand thoughts in her heart, she would not show it, so Sister Zheng Dan always thought that she was a simple little sheep.

Although Zheng Dan's words were ugly, he didn't guard against her, and bluntly said what was in his heart.

Xi Shi rubbed Zheng Dan's hand and said, "Sister, we said that we would protect each other, but I don't know martial arts, and my body is weak, so I can only use these ideas to protect you." ”

Although Zheng Dan's martial arts are not very superb, it is not a problem to act chivalrous and protect individuals. So Xi Shi was weak and harmless before, so that Zheng Dan, who was full of chivalry in her heart, was now in front of her to "protect" her.

However, Wu Palace is not a place in the rivers and lakes, it is a bloodier place than the rivers and lakes. Xi Shi can't always be the woman behind Zheng Dan, let alone blindly rely on Zheng Dan's martial arts as protection. In a place like this, scheming trumps everything.

Zheng Dan listened to Xi Shi's explanation, and then he was relieved and no longer entangled in this matter.

When it was time for the dinner, the Yue girls danced the "Qingyun Song" that had been prepared thousands of times again.

"Qingyun Song" is elegant and melodious, Yue Ji is good at dancing with long sleeves and soft figure, and everyone is enjoying the excellent dance while looking at the three beauties with dazzling eyes. Where they danced, there was a dark voice.

After the dance, the Yue girls met the king and queen of Wu and sat down one after another.

Shih Tzu glanced at the guests present. In addition to King Wu and the queen, the ministers of the former dynasty also came to Wu Zixu and Bo Yao. And the harem is Mu Li and a richly dressed woman with a proud expression.

After a brief exchange of glances, Xi Shi and Mu Li looked ahead as usual.

After the Yue girls entered the table, the sharp-toothed Bo Yao held a wine glass and wished King Wu away: "King, the three Yue Ji are really like fairies, with a graceful posture, worthy of our wise and martial king!" ”

King Wu was dressed in a red black robe, holding a noble bun, and his eyebrows were handsome.

After listening to Bo Yao's words, Wu Wangfu said with a pleasant face: "Dazai-sama's good mouth is really likable, haha, why don't you tell me what kind of beauty these three beauties have, and let the beauties who are widowed and enter the Jin Dynasty happy." ”

Bo Yao smiled and said: "The king asked Weichen to say where the beauty is, this can not be said for a day and a night, I can only say that Weichen only dares to take a look at Yue Ji inadvertently, for fear of tarnishing this beauty!" ”

Bo Yao's words made everyone laugh, Su Yi covered his mouth and smiled: "King, the concubine suddenly remembered that a few of us Yue Ji had just entered the Yue Palace, and the adults of the Yue Palace were insulting to the concubines at that time~"

"Oh?" The husband asked.

Su Yi put down his hand and said shyly: "At that time, a few of us were just country girls, quite rude, and the ministers said that we were stubborn stones, not worthy of serving King Wu, so we had to let us practice qin, chess, calligraphy and painting in the palace, and only after we could become beautiful jade could we be sent to Wu to serve the king~ But there is a leader among us, who has just entered the Yue Palace for a year, and was brought back by the messenger you sneaked into." Well, that messenger seems to be called Ji Gongzi. ”

King Wu smiled deeply, and Bo Yao and Wu Zixu also glanced at each other meaningfully.

Su was a little embarrassed that no one answered her words, so she shifted the topic to Mu Li.

"Sister Muli, ah, no, Sister Muli, we should have come to visit you as soon as possible, but there have been a lot of things in the past two days, and we still haven't had time to bother you."

I haven't seen Mu Li for a long time, but she still looks indifferent, just smiled at Su Yi and nodded.

For a while, Su Yi was even more embarrassed.

Just as Su Yi was about to drink to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere, the luxurious and arrogant woman next to Mu Li suddenly spoke, and said in a nonchalant and contemptuous tone: "Dazai-sama really speaks better. With so many words, it is also worthy of being called a fairy? ”

Su Yi's hand holding the wine cup froze in the air, and Xi Shi looked at her worriedly.

But in an instant, Su Yi immediately adjusted his state, calmly took a sip of wine, and put down the wine cup dignifiedly. Then he said to the queen: "Queen Niangniang, the concubine is the first time to come to your land, I don't know that the women in the Wu Palace still have unspeakable rules, tomorrow Su Yi will definitely find you to practice the rules of the Wu Palace again." ”

There were no such rules in the Wu Palace, not to mention that this dinner party was originally set up for them. Su Yi deliberately said these words to the queen, but it was not ugly.

The queen rounded up gently, and said with a smile: "Wei Ji, she and Mrs. Mu Li are used to getting along day and night, and they are used to Mrs. Mu's quiet temperament. Our harem sisters, where do you still think your sisters talk too much. You should indeed come to this palace tomorrow, but you are not here to practice, you are here to relieve your boredom with this palace. ”

The queen turned out to be the queen, and in a few words, she calmed down a tense gunsmoke, not only relieved the siege, but also did not destroy the face of either side in the slightest.

Xi Shi looked at the queen in admiration, and felt that the queen was probably the most powerful existence in the harem. And that Wei Ji is probably a favorite concubine of King Wu, arrogant and domineering, and there is nothing to care about. However, the queen just said that Wei Ji is used to getting along with Mu Li day and night, and this sentence is really enough to make her think about it for a while.

Soon after the dinner, the three Yue Ji went back to her palace with Mu Li.

In order not to arouse suspicion, they did not take the maids, and greeted them in front of them. When it was getting late and everyone was about to leave, Xi Shi asked Mu Li as if unintentionally before leaving: "Sister Mu Li, can I have an appointment with Wei Ji tomorrow?" ”

Mu Li was stunned, and then a glimmer of clarity flashed in his eyes, and he said, "No." ”

Xi Shi said again: "There are no clouds tonight, the moonlight is just right, and tomorrow must be a good day." Why don't we go kite flying together? ”

Mu Li understood and nodded.

Shih Tzu then left with the other sisters. The three of them had different paths, and Xi Shi had to go back to the temple with Lingniang.

Walking on the road, Xi Shi looked at the bright moon in the sky and had a lot of thoughts. Judging by Mu Li's reaction, she and Wei Ji were not as intimate as the queen said. Then why did the queen say that, or did Mu Li deliberately get close to Wei Ji?

Thinking about something that had no clue gave Xi Shi a headache, so he simply left it behind and only looked at the moon intently.

The road of Wu Gong is equally smooth as the road of Yue Palace, and Xi Shi is not worried that he will fall, because Ling Niang is protecting him by his side. In the past, when he was in the Yue Palace, Xi Shi could walk on the road swaggering even if he didn't look at the road, because Yin Shisan would always protect him behind him.

Thinking of Yin Thirteen, Xi Shi's pace sped up a few points. I don't know if Ling Niang knows that Yin 13 is still alive, if she doesn't know, she will definitely be taken aback when she sees Yin 13 later. I don't know if Yin Shisan's death has anything to do with her at the beginning, but after a while, I can see her reaction when I see Yin Shisan, and you can observe one or two.

With this thought, Xi Shi returned to the Cheng'en Palace, Lingniang habitually went to help Xi Shi find a love Gu jar, and was about to send the maids out, but Xi Shi stopped her and said to her: "Introduce you to an old friend." ”

Then, Xi Shi said to Ah Yue, "Ah Yue, go and bring in the person who was late in the morning." ”

After Ah Yue answered "yes", she immediately went out to find someone.

Ling Niang looked puzzled, and Xi Shi was full of mystery and joy, which made Ling Niang's heart a little hairy.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", Ling Niang turned her head to look, a slender leg outside the door stepped in, and the next moment, the man in black who came in scared Ling Niang took a step back.

"Yin, Yin Gongzi, are you still alive?!" Lingniang was so startled that she stammered.

Seeing this, Xi Shi said coldly: "He's not dead, he's still alive." Shouldn't Lingniang be happy for him? ”

Before Ling Niang could speak, Yin 13 had already walked closer, knelt down directly and bowed westward.

But Yin Shisan's nose moved, his brows furrowed instantly, and he instantly looked at Ling Niang's side.

Ling Niang looked at Yin Shisan's scarred eyes, took a deep breath, and said to Xi Shi tremblingly: "Aunt, girl, at the beginning, it was General Fan who didn't want him to live and let everyone suffer because of him, so he faked the scene where Yin Gongzi was attacked by wild beasts...... Fan, General Fan, he cares about you too much! ”

Xi Shi said coldly: "So you have to care about letting you monitor my every move?" Do you care enough to join you to lie to me? ”

Seeing that Lingniang was silent, Xi Shi said again: "You come to Wu Kingdom with me, I'm afraid it's not his plan." So that you can keep him informed of me, won't you? ”

Lingniang whispered back: "Yes." ”

Xi Shi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, then took a deep breath, and said resentfully: "I have already failed my oath, so why do I need to do this." ”

Lingniang stepped forward to infuse Qi for Xi Shi, but Xi Shi did not resist. Ling Niang whispered: "General Fan, he also has a hard time." He's real, and he cares about you. ”

Xi Shi was silent, but there were tears in his eyes. After turning his head to look at Yin Thirteen on the ground, Xi Shi felt better.

When Xi Shi was just about to go up and help Yin Shisan, who had been kneeling on the ground obediently, up, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "The king has arrived!" ”
