Yingxuan Palace. Zhu Shijin slowly put the sweet pastry into his mouth, and the pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes were beautiful and moving. In front of her, a palace maid knelt on the ground, her face was pale, and she staggered as if she was going to fall down in the next moment.

"Xiaoyue, why are you always so stubborn, you just don't beg for mercy." Zhu Shijin looked at Xiaoyue condescendingly, and said in a gentle voice, "I've been kneeling for two days and two nights, I must be very hungry and tired, right?" ”

Satsuki only knelt on the ground and did not speak, her pale face showing weakness and stubbornness.

"Okay," Zhu Shijin smiled charmingly, "I just like to see you like this, so cute, I really can't help but want to break you, you have to hold on, there will be a long time in the future." ”

Xiao Yu wanted to look up and look at Zhu Shijin, but found that he didn't have any strength, and his head was getting heavier and heavier.

"Niangniang, Lord Yue seems to be dying......" After a long time, the little maid on the side trembled, and whispered to Zhu Shijin who seemed to have nothing to see.

"Drag her down and starve her for another day." Zhu Shijin tilted his head sideways and said lightly.

"In that case, Tsuki-sama may ......," the little maid asked tentatively in a trembling voice.

"You're not deaf, are you?" A smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she saw that the little maid was cold, and hurriedly retreated.

Zhu Shijin stretched his waist, he has been nesting in Yingxuan Palace for the past few days, and he is really bored.

In a few days, it will be the annual harem banquet, I don't know how the queen is preparing, Zhu Shijin looked out the window with good-looking peach blossom eyes, Concubine Shu was pregnant, and she couldn't get sick, all the power was occupied by Su Yao, she should be very happy during this time, the entire harem was caught in her hands. However, this is only temporary, as soon as his eyes turned, a touch of fierceness flashed in Zhu Shijin's bright eyes, you should be happy, the happier you are, the heavier the fall, and the deeper the pain.

On the other hand, Su Yao was really busy, and there were too many things...... I asked her about arranging the seats, she had to sort out the list of concubines in the harem, and even the cups and tableware had to be confirmed by her, Su Yao had to go out early and return late these days, and when she returned to Fengqi Palace, she was so tired that she didn't have the energy to grab the quilt with Ling Yi, if it weren't for Xiaohuan to help her as her left and right hand, Su Yao might not have the strength to visit Shangguan Yuan.

"It's warmed up in the past few days, and Concubine Shu has time to walk around more, and Imperial Doctor Xu said that it will help to keep the fetus safe." Su Yao looked at Shangguan Yuan's bulging belly and sent the peeled and cut apples over.

"The concubine knows, Queen Xie cares," Shangguan Yuan took it with both hands and said softly, Shangguan Yuan was already good-looking, and with that gentle voice, it was crispy to the bones. In the past few months of getting along, Shangguan Yuan already believes in Su Yao a little, but it's really just a little. The current Shangguan Yuan has no previous hostility towards Su Yao, and her frozen heart has a trace of warmth, of course, she will only treat Su Yao gently, if it is someone else, even if it is a maid in her palace, she is also extra vigilant.

"It's not too early, it's time for the palace to go to the Qiyun Palace to discuss the banquet with Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Looking at Shangguan Yuan, who was caressing her stomach and her face glowed with a soft light, Su Yao smiled.

"The mother has been really hard these days, and I hope that the mother will take care of the phoenix body." Shangguan Yuan nodded slightly.

Prayer Cloud Hall. Ling Tian took a bite of the fragrant and sweet peach cake, didn't look at Su Yao on the side, and didn't listen to every word Su Yao said. The affairs at the banquet were big and small, so trivial, Ling Tian didn't bother to take care of it, if he really encountered any problems, Yaruo would solve them.

This time, Su Yao didn't drool when she saw her eating peach crisp. That's a big step forward.

"How is Concubine Shu these days?" Seeing that Su Yao paused slightly, Ling Tian didn't care whether she finished speaking or not, and asked directly.

"My belly is getting bigger." Su Yao thought for a moment and said.

After Su Yao left, Ling Tian said softly to Sun Yaruo on the side: "Yaruo, let me ask you, do you think Concubine Shu really believes in the queen?" ”

Sun Yaruo thought for a while and replied: "According to the minister's opinion, Concubine Shu's closeness to the queen is just a move to protect herself. ”

"Where's that?" As if aroused, Ling Tian asked with a smile.

"With the experience of being killed before, Concubine Shu must be extra careful, although the queen mother looks stupid and has no scheming, Concubine Shu will definitely not believe her easily." Sun Yaruo said, "It's just that in the palace, there are too many knives behind the back, and it is impossible to prevent it, no one can guarantee that every step will not be empty, and Concubine Shu is pregnant again, and she wants to prevent it." Therefore, Concubine Shu can only choose the queen mother who has just entered the palace, she sold part of her power to win over the queen mother, in order to show favor to the backer behind the queen mother, that is, Her Royal Highness the third princess, in order to seek your refuge. In the current situation, in addition to the emperor, only Her Royal Highness the Third Princess can help her. ”

"Indeed, the emperor and I are on Su Yao's side, and your brother is standing up for her, coupled with the status of the Su family's daughter-in-law, Su Yao is indeed the best candidate," Ling Tian took a sip of hot tea and said, "The Su family and the Zhu family have always been at odds, so don't worry about Zhu Shijin getting in the way." It's just that Shangguan Yuan did this, clearly trying to pull me into the troubled waters where she and Zhu Shijin were fighting. ”

"Concubine Shu is gambling," Sun Yaruo said, "bet on whether you value Su Yao, and if you win, use half of the power in your hand in exchange for your protection; If she loses, half of the power will change hands, and she will have to face pressure from Zhu Shijin while she is pregnant. ”

"Shangguan Yuan is in a hurry, and it's messed up." Ling Tian smiled and said in a low voice, "The child in her womb made her messy. In the harem, the most taboo is gambling. If you dare to gamble, you must be able to afford to lose, but once you lose, your life will be gone, who can afford to lose such a big bet? ”

Sun Yaruo didn't speak, she knew that Ling Tian had already had a choice in her heart.

"By the way, has Zhu Shijin been nesting in Yingxuan Palace for the past few days?" As soon as the conversation changed, Ling Tian suddenly asked.

Sun Yaruo nodded.

"It turns out that the child is also waiting for this palace, so I can't let her wait long." Ling Tian showed a lovely smile and said sweetly, "Xiang'er, is there still the dragon beard cake that the emperor rewarded yesterday?" ”

"Back to the master, there are still a few boxes." Xiang'er on the side hung her head and said respectfully.

"Speaking of which, since Concubine Shu was pregnant, this palace hasn't been visited, so it's really a bit unreasonable, right, Yaruo?" Ling Tian said.

Sun Yaruo nodded, and then looked at Xiang'er on the side, who had already taken out the exquisitely packaged dragon beard cake.

"Xiang'er, you can run for me and send those dragon whiskers to the Yingxin Palace," Ling Tian didn't go to see Xiang'er, but said softly.

"Yes, master."

"Yaruo, if this muddy water is stained, it can't be washed off easily." Ling Tian said with a smile.

"Even if we don't do anything, this muddy water will definitely overflow under our feet," Sun Yaruo replied, "who let us be by the river." ”

Ling Tian's gaze focused on the distance and said, "I don't know if it's the right choice for me......

"Where are you a, so rude? How dare you not salute when you see this palace?! "Su Yier is very angry now, I heard that Su Yao, who had just entered the palace, really became the queen, and she was so scared that she shrank in the palace for a long time and didn't dare to go out, and today she was invited by her cousin to see her, she just went out for a walk, Su Yier really felt aggrieved, since she became a concubine, when did she suffer this kind of grievance, what made her even more unhappy was that there was a palace maid who was not big or small on the way and did not salute when she saw her, it was really the opposite! No matter how you say it, she is also a concubine, so the blind palace maid should be killed with a cane.

"Ah, it turned out to be the concubine Niangniang, the slave deserves death, I didn't see the concubine Niangniang, and I hope that the concubine will forgive the sin." Hearing that piercing voice for a long time, Xiang'er slowly knelt on the ground, although there was deep panic and panic in her words, but there was not much expression on her small face, "It's just that the slave maid received the order of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, and she was afraid that she would be punished by the master for delaying the matter, so she left in a hurry." ”

"Three princesses? Are you the palace maid of the Prayer Cloud Palace? I heard that it was the third princess's person, Su Yi'er suddenly became interested, "What did your master ask you to do?" ”

"This ......" Xiang'er paused, with an embarrassed expression on her face.

"I'm the Great Prayer Concubine, what can't I say?" Seeing Xiang'er's expression, Su Yi'er became more and more curious.

"This ...... The concubine is not deliberately concealed by the slave maid, but the concubine is the concubine...... If someone asks, don't say that the concubine revealed it. Xiang'er glanced at Su Yi'er and said mysteriously.

"Just say it, this concubine will not embarrass you as a little palace maid." Driven by curiosity, Su Yi'er said, "If you don't say it, this palace will punish you for unreasonableness now." ”

"The thing that the master asked the slave to do is ......" Hearing Su Yi'er say this, Xiang'er swallowed her saliva and said mysteriously and appetizingly.

Su Yi'er blinked, completely controlled by Xiang'er but didn't know it.

"Her Royal Highness the Third Princess asked the slave maid to send a box of dragon whisker cakes to the Sakura Xin Palace." After a long time, Xiang'er said.

After speaking, Xiang'er stood up straight, she glanced at Su Yi'er, who was a little stunned, exhaled lightly, and was ready to be beaten.

Sure enough, Su Yi'er, who reacted, was furious and slapped Xiang'er in the face, and Xiang'er fell to the ground with an "oops", leaving a clear slap mark on her little face.

"You, you dare to play this palace!" As if she was still angry, Su Yier stomped on Xiang'er's swollen face a few more times.

Xiang'er wanted to defend a few times, but was beaten speechless by Su Yi'er. She is not a fool, she is only seventeen years old and sits in the position of the eldest palace maid next to the third princess Ling Tian, relying on her real ability. She knew what her master was sending the dragon whisker to the Sakura Palace for, and she also knew what to do and what not to do. She deliberately chose a long way to go to the Yingxin Palace, just to declare her master's position when she passed through the Yingxuan Palace. As a result, I happened to meet Su Yi'er, this is the best, originally Xiang'er was still worried about how to let the people of Yingxuan Palace know, but now it is just right to borrow Su Yi'er's mouth to announce it by her, the noble concubine, which is really very suitable. She had been selling Guan Zi before, in addition to wanting to play tricks on this concubine, more importantly, she wanted Su Yi'er to remember this matter, only in this way could she go to tell Zhu Shijin of Yingxuan Palace, although provoking her would make her suffer from flesh and skin, it was also a good idea.

Although it hurt a lot, she was the one who really won, not only teased this domineering concubine, but also completed what the master explained.

Because her stomach was also kicked hard by Su Yi'er, Xiang'er was in severe pain and couldn't stand up straight, and after sending the dragon whisker to the Sakura Palace, she almost crawled back. Fortunately, he had already said that he was the person of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, otherwise I would have been trampled to death by Su Yi'er.

When she returned to the Qiyun Palace, Xiang'er only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, Xiang'er only felt that her whole body was soft, someone was gently wiping her swollen cheeks with a wet soft handkerchief, her movements were really light, but the injured place she touched was still very painful.

When her eyes focused again, and when she saw the familiar, absolutely beautiful, cheeks that she couldn't move away from at a glance, Xiang'er was startled, the person who was wiping her wounds was actually ...... Your Royal Highness the Third Princess! This is the room of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess...... That he was lying in ...... The bed of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess?!

Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly struggled to sit up, although now she was willing to die even if she died.

"Don't move." A tough voice sounded low.

Xiang'er was stunned, and lay on the bed obediently, no longer moving, this is ...... The bed where Her Royal Highness the Third Princess slept ...... Okay, so happy...... Thinking of this, Xiang'er's face burned red, but fortunately, her face was already red and swollen, and she couldn't see it very well.

"The doctor has already diagnosed the pulse, but fortunately it is all skin trauma, and there is no injury to the internal organs, so it is enough to rest and recuperate for a few days." Ling Tian's face was not very good-looking, and there was a bit of anger in the depths of his pupils, "I already know what is going on." ”

Hearing Ling Tian say this, Xiang'er opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound after all.

"I'm really happy that you can do this for me, Xiang'er, it's just that I hope you won't do this kind of risky thing in the future, Su Yi'er's straw bag, what if she doesn't take it lightly? You are mine, and you will be mine for the rest of your life, so you are not allowed to have anything, you want to beat or scold, and only I have this right, understand. Ling Tian looked at Xiang'er calmly, but there was undoubted majesty and domineering in her voice.

Xiang'er is very smart, Zhu Shijin can't get sick for so many days, and she can't be stabbed in the back of others, and most of her targets are pregnant Shangguan Yuan, so the preventive injection of "Third Princess Ling Tian will support Concubine Shuguan Yuan" is extremely important, the sooner you get it, the more insurance. But for herself, Xiang'er paid a big price, but in the future, she will definitely make Su Yier pay a huge price.

After listening to Ling Tian's words, Xiang'er's mind went blank, and her ears buzzed. She suddenly felt that everything she had done was worth it, and she even had a strange idea in her heart that she wanted Su Yier to beat her twice.
