Chapter 374: Qi Ruyan ascends to the top
"Princess Yi, this is Concubine Xia. It's too womb! Queen Wang explained, "She was pregnant with the crown prince's seed, and the palace specially took her over to raise the baby." ”
Liu Mengyan couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at the Xia family opposite, but the suspicion in her heart was even greater: This prince's concubine is pregnant, why would the queen be so enthusiastic about taking people to Qionghua Palace to raise? Weird?
"This is what the Queen Mother meant. The queen mother said that the prince had been married for a few years, and he didn't even have a child. Bengong thought too, no, as soon as the Xia family was pregnant with a child, Bengong went to tell the crown princess in person and took her over. Queen Wang said.
"Congratulations to the crown prince. Congratulations to Concubine Xia too! Liu Ruli had no choice but to laugh with her, but she was a little unclear about this matter in her heart.
"I have long known that Princess Yi was born well. I saw you today, and it was really beautiful! Xia also praised politely.
Woman, when you meet, isn't it just boasting about your clothes and beauty?
"Concubine Xia Shu was also born so beautiful. No wonder you can be favored by the prince! Liu Mengyan agreed.
"Cailian, you help Concubine Xia Shu to go for a walk. This pregnant woman can't sit for a long time, so she should move more appropriately! Queen Wang said to the palace maid on the side.
Xia also got up obediently, held the hand of the palace maid, blessed it, and went out.
"Queen Mother, you look so good." Liu Mengyan said, "The concubine and King Yi went out to travel, and brought a little local souvenir to Niangniang, and please don't dislike Niangniang!" Liu Mengyan took a brocade box from Bitong's hand, then opened it and presented it to Queen Wang in person.
"What is this?" When the queen saw a stone lying in the box, she felt strange.
"Mother, this is no ordinary stone. This is amethyst. This stone is very special, the color is very good, the concubine likes it, so she brought back some, so that the skilled craftsman can carve it, and it can become a special ornament! Liu Mengyan said.
"Oh, there are such stones. This is the first time I've seen a purple stone! The queen picked up the wooden box and looked at it repeatedly.
"Niangniang, the concubine is going to ask Qi Zhaoyi for her mother. If the mother has nothing to order, the concubine will retire. Liu Mengyan got up and said.
"It's time to see your mother-in-law! Go ahead! This has a heart! Queen Wang smiled.
"The concubine retires!" Liu Mengyan said blessedly.
When she got out of the wooden pavilion and walked the road when she was holding Bitong's hand, she saw Xia's hand holding Cailian's hand spinning not far away.
"It's strange, the prince's concubine actually went to Qionghua Palace to raise the fetus!" Liu Ruli said.
"The crown princess is afraid of being angry, and the queen is worried that the crown princess will not be able to tolerate this Xia concubine!" Bitong said on the side.
"But it should be Chen Guifei who came forward." Liu Mengyan said.
In the wooden pavilion, the queen was still looking at the stone, but the smile on her eyebrows and eyes turned into a cold chill.
"It's a pity that Ze'er didn't marry this Liu Si girl!" Queen Wang suddenly muttered to herself.
"Mother?" The palace maid on the side didn't understand, so she answered.
"She is the first one who can guess the intentions of this palace so much, and guess so accurately!" The queen put the wooden box on the stone table and said.
When Liu Mengyan came to Yonghe Palace, she pounced. Because Qi Zhaoyi had just been summoned to Yanshou Palace by the palace people of the Queen Mother.
She had to wait and rest in the side hall first.
"Princess, why don't you take a nap, the slave and maid are guarding outside, and as soon as Zhaoyi Niangniang comes back, the slave and maid will come in and call you immediately!" Splendid Road.
Entering the palace early in the morning, plus walking between the palace rooms, dealing with the queen mother, and going to ask the queen for peace, are not good stubble, Liu Mengyan is indeed a little tired.
Jinxiu went out to guard, and Bitong waited for Liu Ruli to go to the outer mattress outside, and after taking off the hairpin on her head, she went to bed to rest.
Jinxiu walked outside Qi Zhaoyi's main palace and found an inconspicuous place to guard. If Qi Zhaoyi came back, she would know immediately.
"Hey, Zhaoyi Niangniang is also bitter in her heart, she originally wanted to give this Qi girl to His Royal Highness King Yi, but she unexpectedly became her sister...... "A palace maid's voice came squirmingly.
"Watch your tongue!" Another voice scolded.
"It's not like no one! I'll tell you about it! The palace maid said, but her voice was obviously a little timid.
"Be good for your errand. Zhaoyi Niangniang felt aggrieved in her heart, if she listened to it, if she didn't cut off your tongue, she would also send you to do rough work! ”
"I don't dare to say it, I don't dare to."
When Jinxiu heard this, she thought about it, and immediately went to Liu Mengyan's side lightly.
She pushed open the door and dodged in, to see Bitong sitting on the footrest in front of the bed napping, and then passed over to see the person on the bed, who seemed to be asleep.
Jinxiu hesitated to wake up Liu Ruli, but heard Liu Mengyan's faint voice: "What?" The mother is back? ”
Bitong also woke up smartly, saw Jinxiu, and quickly stood up from the pedal.
"Disturbed the princess's rest. Zhaoyi Niangniang hasn't returned yet! Jinxiu hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"And what's wrong with you?" Bitong asked first.
"Princess Qiqi, the slave maid just heard some gossip from Zhaoyi Niangniang. I want to report to the princess that she knows. "Splendid Road.
"If it's gossip, why bother?" Liu Mengyan still didn't move.
"Yes, it's Miss Qi's business." Jinxiu hurriedly said, "Just now the slave maid heard from them that Miss Qi seems to have served the emperor!" ”
Liu Mengyan opened her eyes and got up and was helped up by Bitong.
"Did you really hear me?" Liu Mengyan was really shocked by the news, "It seems that a lot of things have happened in the palace during our absence!" ”
The slave listened to their conversation, not like a fake. They said that Zhaoyi Niangniang was in a bad mood, so the slave maid came to report to the princess first! "Splendid Road.
Liu Mengyan glanced at her appreciatively, and said: "If Qi Ruyan really becomes the woman of her father, then she will become a 'sister' with her mother!" It's a real surprise! ”
She kept searching in her mind, and Emperor Xuan in the previous life did not have a niece of Qi Zhaoyi, but there was no trace at all.
Perhaps from the moment he was reborn, a lot has changed in this life.
"Princess, Zhaoyi Niangniang must have died of grievance in her heart. Will she vent this grievance on you? Bitong was worried.
Jinxiu also nodded hurriedly, which is why she was in a hurry to come back and report that Liu Mengyan knew.
"There will definitely be! However, the mother concubine is a smart person, and she will not really be angry with the concubine, she should be really angry with Qi Ruyan! Liu Ruli said.
"Princess, the slave and maid are going to guard again." Splendid Road.
Liu Mengyan nodded, but she didn't have the heart to take a break.
"Princess, this Qi girl is too ...... Zhaoyi Niangniang is only afraid of regretting her intestines! Bitong couldn't help but say.
"Qi Ruyan, this is self-defeating...... How can she see this harem clearly? If the mother concubine didn't maintain her, it wouldn't be long before she was chewed to the point that there were no bones left! Liu Mengyan said.
"Zhaoyi Niangniang is really dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and she can't tell if she suffers!" Bitong sighed and said.
In that room, Jinxiu was still guarding a corner outside the main hall.
"What are you, huddled here sneaky, what are you doing?" A delicate but somewhat smug voice came from behind the splendid embroidery.
She hurriedly turned around and saw a beady Qi Ruyan, followed by two little palace maids.
I saw that she was wearing an orange-yellow gauze skirt with a peach-pink undergarment. This body is like the most delicate bud on the branch, and Qi Ruyan is also white and tender, which is quite a bit of a fairy in the flower......
She wore a double-ringed bun on her head, a peony flower made of gilt tortoiseshell in the middle, and pearls the size of rice grains strung with silver threads on the two rings, and hairpins such as butterflies and bees on the left and right sides......
This is really dressed up as a flower fairy, which looks extremely eye-catching!
"Yo, I thought it was who, it turned out to be the girl next to Princess Yi!" Qi Ruyan raised his chin and glanced at Jinxiu.
"This is Qi Liangdi, don't salute yet!" A palace maid rebuked at Jinxiu.
"Slave maid please Liangdi!" Jinxiu frowned and went down.
"What are you cat doing here?" Qi Ruyan didn't let her get up, and then asked.
Jinxiu couldn't answer for a while, so she had to half-crouch there and ponder how to answer her words.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to reply, a hand fell towards her face!
This is not light!
", Ben Liangdi asked you something!" Qi Ruyan looked at his hand, as if he felt that he had just hurt himself.
Jinxiu was suddenly a little stunned by the beating, her legs were already sore, and her whole body began to shake.
"What is Liangdi doing, where is the concubine's maid not doing well, Liangdi just talks to the concubine, why do you need Liangdi to do it?" Liu Mengyan helped Bitong and walked over.
Qi Ruyan turned around abruptly and saw Liu Ruli standing there beautifully.
Liu Mengyan gave Bitong a look, and she immediately went over and helped the crumbling Jinxiu up.
Ben Liangdi asked her something, but she didn't answer! Ben Liangdi is to teach her a lesson! The next time I see Ben Liangdi, what should I do! And you, Princess Yi, seeing Ben Liangdi, should you also salute! Qi Ruyan's fair face turned slightly red at the moment, and there was even a look of excitement in his eyes.
Liu Ruli looked at Jinxiu's face, an originally beautiful face, the left side was swollen, and she was slapped at a glance.
"That's right. The concubine has seen Qi Liangdi! Liu Mengyan said a word, and then said, "The concubine is not in the palace, Qi Liangdi is here to say hello to the concubine?" ”
"Although Qi Zhaoyi is my aunt, now Ben Liangdi is like her, serving the emperor." Qi Ruyan rolled up the corners of his mouth and said.
"Yes. The mother concubine is now commensurate with the Liangdi sisters, but I am afraid that it will be embarrassing. It's better for Liangdi to go back. Liu Mengyan said.
"Why do you teach me? My aunt is old and decrepit, so it is better to be attached to Ben Liangdi. Ben Liangdi thought that she was my aunt, and she would definitely mention her before the emperor. Qi Ruyan said arrogantly.
