Recently, Hua Ying also felt that something was wrong, although she was not very familiar with Yan Guiren and others before, and she would casually say a few words to greet each other when she met them on the road, but in the past few days, they seem to have changed as if they were different people, avoiding themselves like snakes and scorpions.

"Qingxu, is this palace very blatantly hateful?" Hua Ying couldn't help but touch her face, when did she become terrifying.

"What does Niangniang say, if you want to say that Niangniang's appearance is the second in this harem, no one dares to say that it is the first." Qingxu's words are getting better and better, and it seems that he has learned from Lan Yu.

"Then why did they run so fast when they saluted?" Hua Ying could only cry and laugh: "And you don't have to say a few words, the palace that has been boasting all day long is embarrassed." ”

"I don't know what's going on with those two little masters, they were okay before, but now they seem to be people who have no vision, and they actually want to avoid Niangniang, and the slaves and maids saw them close to the queen yesterday." Hui Xin looked at the backs of the two of them, and said so, she saw through and her brain was fast: "Maybe the queen said bad things about the mother again." ”

"Let them go, this palace is not uncommon for these two people." Hua Ying has no shortage of friends in the harem, so naturally she won't feel unhappy because they are hiding from her, but she is just curious: "You said that the queen refused to let go of the palace like this, is it because the palace did something wrong, or because she has psychological problems?"

"Everybody thinks they're right." Qingxu firmly supported Hua Ying and said: "Let's go, Niangniang, it's hot today, so it's not appropriate to stand for a long time." ”

"It's summer in a blink of an eye, and after standing for a long time, I do feel a little stuffy, I knew that I should listen to you, and I took a sedan chair to the Heart Palace." Hua Ying thought that she hadn't coaxed the emperor for a while, so she was interested today, and she also made some pastries, preparing to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but she wanted to go slowly, so she didn't use a sedan chair.

"If the mother is really tired, she will wait here, and the slave will find someone to carry the sedan chair over." Cozy said.

"It's okay, let's go, it's not two steps away, and the palace is not so squeamish."

Hua Ying lifted the bottom of her flower pot, and Hui Xin held an umbrella for her on the side, so as not to expose Hua Ying to the sun, Hua Ying's skin is also very well maintained, white and shiny, but she can't tan.

"It's bustling ahead, what are you doing?"

didn't take a few steps, but Hua Ying saw a lot of people kneeling at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, so she asked Hui Xin next to her to take a look, and Hui Xin came back not long after, and said in Hua Ying's ear: "Niangniang, those people heard that they didn't clean the Qianqing Palace on time, so they were punished for kneeling." ”

"Qianqing Palace? Is there a banquet to be held in the past few days, what are you doing to clean up the Qianqing Palace so carefully?" Hua Ying thought about what the Celebrant Bureau had reported to her, but she really didn't think of any other activities in the Qianqing Palace.

"I heard them say that it seems that Concubine Xiu's birthday banquet is going to be held in Qianqing Palace, so they packed up and went to Qianqing Palace, but the slave maid also felt strange that a concubine's birthday banquet could also be used in Qianqing Palace." The Qianqing Palace is the place where major banquets have been held in the past dynasties, and the birthdays of the harem concubines or the princes and princesses are mostly held in other places or in their own palaces, and even Hua Ying's birthdays in the palace have not been held in the Qianqing Palace.

"That must have been allowed by the emperor, it's really strange."

"What's so strange?"

Hua Ying's voice did not fall, only heard a familiar voice behind her, it turned out to be what they were talking about Concubine Xiu, the two of them made a flat salute, and Concubine Xiu said: "I haven't seen Sister Concubine Yun for a few days, Sister Concubine Yun is still so delicate, a little more feminine than when I first saw you at that time." ”

Hua Ying was a little embarrassed by Concubine Xiu's inexplicable praise, but her face did not change, and she calmly took her words: "Sister Concubine Xiu is also in excellent shape, just now the palace saw that the people over there knelt on the ground, so she asked Hui Xin to go over and take a look, only to know that she was preparing for Concubine Xiu's birthday banquet, and couldn't help but praise the emperor's love for Sister Xiufei." ”

"My sister is really good at laughing, the emperor can be regarded as caring for Concubine Yun's sister, this is just a banquet, and the fourth birthday of the sixth elder brother is about the same, so it will be one." Concubine Xiu said that it was not worth mentioning, but there was an obvious provocation in her eyes: "Where can I compare to my sister, and the rewards will be sent in like flowing water every day." ”

"The reward is just a superficial thing, it's not worth mentioning, my sister shouldn't be modest, this palace is now going to the Heart Cultivation Palace to send snacks to the emperor, so I won't talk to my sister here."

Hua Ying wanted to leave as soon as she heard such yin and yang strange words, but she was still stopped by Concubine Xiu, she was holding a handkerchief, and her demeanor was very different from before: "Sister Yun, don't worry, the emperor is busy with government affairs now, even if it has passed now, that is, to study ink for the emperor, it is better to talk to my sister and help the palace to evaluate the theory." ”

Saying that, Concubine Xiu walked around the subordinates who were still kneeling on the ground, looked around again, took Hua Ying's hand and said: "Look at it, these subordinates are lazy and have been cleaning for two days, and there is still a lot of dust in the palace, how do you think the palace should punish them?"

Hua Ying didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in this gourd, and glanced at the trembling people: "This palace thinks that the Qianqing Palace is indeed difficult to clean up, these subordinates may be lazy, but wouldn't it be better to use the time to kneel now to let them hurry up and work?"

"Bengong just thinks that if it is different from Concubine Xiu's thoughts, Concubine Xiu can do things according to her own ideas, and she doesn't have to listen to Bengong." Hua Ying frowned slightly.

"It's just that my sister has a reputation for being skilled, so I came to ask my sister, and my sister doesn't have to be so sensitive." Concubine Xiu seemed to notice Hua Ying's impatience, and said: "My sister also knows that this palace is a palace maid, and she has no experience in disciplining people, so she came to ask her sister." ”

"There is really nothing to teach Concubine Xiu in this palace, looking at the way Concubine Xiu admonished them, it is also a matter of course, and there is no need for this palace to help Concubine Xiu."

"My sister talks with a gun and a stick, doesn't she feel that the emperor is upset about holding a banquet for the palace?"

Hua Ying is really a little uncomfortable, she is also a human being, the emperor is so good to her, but he did not allow her to use the Qianqing Palace to hold her birthday banquet, anyone will think like this, but she will not make a face with Concubine Xiu because of this matter, she frowned only because she stopped herself again and again: "Concubine Xiu doesn't have to speculate so much about the psychology of others, this palace is not so careful, and Concubine Xiu has nothing to envy this palace, we both understand it in our hearts, don't we?"

I don't know why Concubine Xiu went to great lengths to make herself jealous, Hua Ying is not a person who lacks love, Concubine Xiu was not in a hurry when she heard it, and showed a meaningful smile: "Yes, there is nothing to envy Concubine Yun in this palace, since you are going to see the emperor, Concubine Yun will go quickly." ”

Hua Ying didn't speak again, she didn't even bother to do Pingli, so she was helped by a few people, and after leaving, she could still hear what Concubine Xiu said behind her: "Sister Yunfei go slowly, when you get to the emperor, don't be angry, otherwise it will be my sister's sin." ”

"It's really unlucky, it's all some annoying people for no reason."

"Don't worry about this, it's just some inexplicable words." Qingxu saw that she was in a bad mood, and hurriedly comforted, after all, she still had to go to see the emperor later, and if she had a black face, the emperor might be unhappy.

"Knowing what you want to say, this palace will not be angry with the emperor for this little thing, and this palace doesn't know how she got this birthday banquet." What if you do everything you can to get it? Hua Ying secretly thought of this, it can be regarded as self-comfort, sometimes good things are enjoyed too much, once lost, there will be a sense of loss, just like the emperor spoils her, but once others have the same treatment as her, it must be false to say that there is no discomfort in her heart.

Li Quan saw that Hua Ying was coming as she walked, and hurriedly greeted her and said, "Master Yun'er Jin'an, why did you come on foot today?"

Hua Ying saw that he still didn't let herself in, and she had a plan in her heart: "What, is there anyone else inside?"

"Back to the master's words, there are indeed other concubines inside, it is the Fei nobles who came, and they also brought the emperor a snack made by themselves, and now the two are talking, do you say that you want to inform you or what?" Li Quan's words came to his mouth, and he still said it a little more tactfully, it was indeed because the atmosphere of the two insides was good, even if Hua Ying was favored, it would inevitably ruin the atmosphere if she went in now.

"I don't know when, this palace has also become the person who disturbs the emperor's love." Hua Ying somehow said such a thing, and after speaking, she felt like a resentful woman, so she said to Li Quan with a smile: "Look at the palace is getting more and more alive, since the emperor has a caring person, then the palace will go back to Jingyang Palace first, and the left and right are all for walking, just to bother my father-in-law to send in the snacks made by the palace for the emperor." ”

"Niangniang is polite, it is also an honor to be able to serve Niangniang as a minion." Li Quan was worried that Hua Ying would be petty at first, after all, she had never eaten behind closed doors like this before, in fact, if Hua Ying went in to report it, it would not be impossible, with the emperor's current temperament, it is estimated that Hua Ying would be allowed to come in and talk, but she didn't want to disturb the two inside.

"Your Majesty, if you don't like what your concubine makes, your concubine won't do it for your emperor next time." Fei Guiren said delicately, half of her body was hanging on the emperor's body as if she had no bones, but her face was too pure, no wonder the emperor liked it: "Look at you, you just ate a few pieces of snowflake cake and don't eat it, the concubine is sad and tight." ”

"I just used the meal, but I really can't use it, and I don't mean not to eat it." The emperor is not interested in these daughters' small pastries, but he will also give them face, especially the Fei nobles, who are very good at serving people recently, which makes the emperor's heart itch, men always like women who are pure and lovely on the outside, but open on the inside.

"Well, the emperor doesn't seem to like to eat these, and the concubine went to inquire about the emperor's weekday meals again, and will continue to cook them for the emperor next time." The Fei nobles looked not arrogant or impatient, and continued to coax the emperor and said: "The emperor has been busy with government affairs these days, and he rarely comes to the harem, so it is better to pay more attention to his health." ”

"It's been a bit busy these days." The emperor still thinks that Hua Ying's things are appetizing, but sometimes he is embarrassed to say to Hua Ying, he doesn't know that the woman he misses has just passed by the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace: "I will go to Jingyang Palace to see you more, by the way, you live in the same palace with Concubine Yun, can you live a leisurely life?"

"Concubine Yun is very good, and the concubine is also happy to live in Jingyang Palace." Fei Guiren's eyes rolled, and he remembered what the queen said, and said: "It's just that I don't know what's going on recently, the concubines can always hear people say bad things about Concubine Yun, and the concubines also feel that they are talking nonsense." ”
