CHAPTER XIII

Chapter XIII: Conspiracy

When everyone was concentrating on the Huamei and Lin Xiurong's fighting methods, suddenly something happened:

Originally, there were several low-level concubines around Lin Xiurong, including Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu who begged for a living under him, as well as Mingmei and Qian Cairen who came to beg her when they saw her favor.

These people were originally walked on the shore of the lake because Lin Xiurong said that the scenery here was good.

When Hua Ying was arguing with her, someone suddenly shouted: "Ah! ”

Everyone was startled and quickly looked back.

Only then did I find that Zhang Cainu, who had lost her face, held Wu Baolin's hand tightly, looking like she had palpitations.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, her face turned even paler with fright, and she lowered her head as if she didn't dare to speak.

What the hell is going on?" Lin Xiurong asked with a displeased face.

Frightened by this, Zhang Cainu immediately knelt down tremblingly, biting her lip and trembling and said, "Slave...... Slave, just ...... Just now, I accidentally stepped on my own crony belt and almost fell. ”

"Fortunately, Wu Baolin convinced me." After speaking, he glanced at Wu Baolin gratefully.

After hearing these words, Lin Xiurong's willow eyebrows rose upside down, and he shouted with a powdery face:

"What's all the fuss about?"

"I really entered the palace like some people and enjoyed the glory for a few days, and I don't know how many pounds and taels my bones weigh! This little thing can't be done! ”

Hua Ying didn't take Lin Xiurong's words to heart about Sang scolding Huai, because the most important person came today.

But Zhang Cainu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled with fright.

It's, "What happened?" A soft-voiced inquiry broke the deadlock.

What is unbelievable is that the owner of this gentle voice is the legendary Zhang Guifei who is in power in the harem.

After everyone saluted, they found that Zhang Guifei and Hua Guifei came together.

Hua Ying glanced at Zhang Guifei and found that she was a very gentle-looking woman, although her eyes could already see a few fine lines because of a slight smile, but with a smile on her eyebrows, she had a feeling of affection and wanting to be close at a glance.

Under Zhang Guifei's gentle gaze, Lin Xiurong didn't dare to make a mistake, and Zhang Cainu gradually calmed down, and explained the cause and effect 1510.

After listening, Zhang Guifei comforted her a few words.

Finally, she turned her gaze to Hua Ying: "This is the girl of your family? This look, not only did the emperor like it, but even I was happy to see it. ”

After she said this to Hua Guifei with a smile, the attention of the audience interrupted by Zhang Cainu returned to Hua Ying, and all kinds of scrutiny, drying, jealousy, and resentful eyes floated over her in turn.

Only then did Hua Ying feel that she couldn't underestimate this woman who smiled gently, after all, she made herself the target of the entire harem woman again with a single word.

"Who can cross you when it comes to pampering? After so many years, Your Majesty still favors you as always. ”

In just a few words, it was pointed out who the most favored woman in the harem was, and Hua Ying's crisis was resolved.

Hua Guifei did not stand by and watch as before, but rarely relieved Hua Ying.

It seems that it is really as she said before, the two are a family.

After chatting a few words, Zhang Guifei asked everyone to board a boat and go to the island in the middle of the lake, which is the place where the banquet was held.

The six girls sat on the same boat with Hua Ying, as well as Hua Ying's personal maid Bizhu.

There are very few palace concubines who come to Yanque Lake to raft on weekdays, and they can't make up so many boats for a while, so only the palace concubines with high status and favor can take the maids.

Sitting on a boat:

"Too rigid and easy to break, good and soft can be undefeated."

The six girls persuaded worriedly, looking like they were planning for their sisters.

Hua Ying smiled: "I understand the kindness of the sixth sister, but there are so many beauties in the harem, and you and I stand out by virtue of it?" ”

Hearing this, the six girls couldn't help but think

After speaking, she looked past the six girls who were secretly thinking about it, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the rippling Yanque Lake.

…………………………

After going ashore, everyone found that the small island in the middle of the lake had been built in the shape of the legendary fairy palace.

On the island, the smoke and waves are misty, the strange rocks are craggy, and the flowers and trees are sparse.

Walking in it is like being in a fairyland.

It was still early for the banquet, and Zhang Guifei was considerate of everyone and allowed everyone to play on the island.

Hua Ying knew that she couldn't talk to those palace concubines, and she was more cautious, so she planned to find a place with fewer people on the island to visit.

She and the sixth girl chatted about interesting things outside the palace while walking, and unconsciously walked to the bottom of a rockery.

The three masters and servants were about to take a rest, but they saw two people coming in front of them.

Coincidentally, these two people were Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu, who were by the lake at the time.

When the two saw them, they also hurriedly came over to salute, after all, Hua Ying's rank was higher than them.

"No need to be polite." Hua Ying said lightly.

When the two bowed their heads and saluted, Wu Baolin raised his eyes and looked curiously at this legendary new favorite concubine: "This robe is different from the common style. ”

Seeing that there was no malice in her words, Hua Ying also replied: "Tianyi is powerful, and most of the popular ones today are Tianyi robes, and this robe is relatively loose and is a style of Wuweidao. ”

Wu Baolin looked half-understood, and was about to ask something, but Zhang Cainu on the side pulled her sleeve and signaled her to stop talking.

Hua Ying saw that Zhang Cainu's face was a little anxious and a little afraid.

In this regard, Wu Baolin had no choice but to look back, smile, and comfort her.

"I'm sorry, Huamei, the slave has taken her leave."

After speaking, Zhang Cainu pulled Wu Baolin and left quickly.

Because the rockery road is narrow, I walked in a hurry, and I almost hit Hua Ying.

After the two apologized again, they left in a hurry.

It was as if something was chasing her.

When the sixth girl saw her like this, she couldn't help but say, "This girl is too daring." ”

Hua Ying smiled, she didn't feel sorry, she never underestimated anyone, after all, sometimes timidity is also a good disguise.

After visiting the rockery for a while, Bizhu reminded Hua Ying that they were going to have a banquet.

The sixth girl heard the song and knew the elegance, and immediately thought, "Time is running out, let's go back first."

When they returned to the place where the banquet was held, the people had almost returned, and the warblers and swallows were very lively together.

Everyone sat down under the guidance of the palace maid, but found that two people were missing.

And these two people happen to be Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu.

Everyone is wondering, why haven't these two come back, could it be that they are lost?

Hua Ying thought of Zhang Cainu's expression at that time, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in her heart......

At this time, a father-in-law in charge walked in anxiously and said to Zhang Guifei that he had something to say.

In the curious eyes of everyone, he said a news that shocked the audience: two drowning concubines were found on the edge of Bitan on the island......
