That night, Xue Qing really started a high fever. Qin Yixuan, who was asleep on the soft collapse on the side, was awakened by her painful moans, and hurriedly asked Thrush to take the antipyretic medicine that had been fried in advance and feed her. Then he sat at the head of the bed and kept changing the wet cloth for her.

Xue Qing didn't fall asleep, she just closed her eyes, because as soon as she opened them, she felt like the world was spinning. She reached for his hand, which was too small and soft to hold his big hand, and only held his two fingers.

"Xueqing......" Qin Yixuan held her back and wrapped her hot little hand tightly in his palm.

"Red Sakura, go back, it's going to be early tomorrow, don't be tired." She said slowly and softly, "There are so many people here to take care of me, you don't need to worry." ”

Qin Yixuan shook his head: "Don't tell me this, how can you tell me to go back with peace of mind?" I'm here to watch over you! ”

"It's just a fever, I've taken medicine, and the fever will be fine after a while."

She didn't make noise like this, and she thought about him, but he was even more sad, and said resolutely: "Xueqing, I am the Son of Heaven." Do whatever I want, you, don't disobey the will. ”

Xue Qing stopped talking, showed a smile, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, it was almost lunch time, and Yimeng came. Because Xue Qing instructed the palace people not to tell the princess, she didn't know the news until this morning. But I was afraid of disturbing my mother's rest, so I waited until lunchtime.

Looking at his mother's pale face, Yimeng asked distressedly, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

Xue Qing shook her head: "What can I do?" ”

Yimeng was puzzled: "Mother, your kung fu is so good, and your father loves you so much, why are you still afraid of that queen and make yourself like this?" "Could it be that the queen is also a hidden master?

"Your father, the emperor, is the emperor and can be the master of this harem, but can Jing Yun be the master of the Lei family?"

"So...... Mother, you are for me, the queen is a member of the Lei family, you are afraid that if you offend her, I will be bullied if I marry into the Lei family in the future, so you swallow your anger? I...... I'll ......" Yimeng bit his lip and said angrily, "Then I'll go and tell my father that I won't marry him!" ”

"Fool!" Xue Qing took her hand and poked her forehead, "If you don't marry him, then won't I suffer this crime in vain?" ”

"But...... But ......"

"Okay, don't say anything angry. However, the queen's words did remind me that while your father has not yet decreed marriage, you should be more careful. If there is a conflict between you and the Lei family in the future, Jingyun chooses to go to the Lei family instead of protecting you, then it is indeed not worth marrying. ”

Seeing that Yimeng didn't speak, Xue Qing understood, and she said that she couldn't let it go, just like when she told Bingyan that she wouldn't forgive him, she still couldn't let it go.

"It's not that he can't get married, if he can't protect you, but he is willing to take you out to live alone, or he is willing to go back to Wanjian Villa with you, it's okay."

"Mother......" Yimeng looked up at Xue Qing.

"Yimeng, you are weak, not like me, nor like your father, you have to be strong everywhere. But you have to remember that you are the princess Zhaorong of Great Qin, the most beloved daughter of your father, and you have a grandfather who is the best in the world to support you, so you don't need to be afraid of anyone. We don't want to cause trouble, but we can't let others bully us, you know? ”

"Hmm."

"If the Lei family dares to bully you in the future, or if Jingyun dares to be negative with you, you will dissociate yourself from them and let your father take care of them. When you marry him, you are married, and they should hold you in the palm of their hands. ”

"Mother, I understand, I'll go to Jingyun to ask clearly."

"Yimeng, you have grown up, you can no longer be reckless and impulsive. Before doing something, you have to think carefully, what your purpose is, how to say each sentence to achieve the goal, what possibilities will happen after you finish speaking, and how to deal with each possibility. There are some things that you either don't do or hit with one hit, or you just let yourself fall into passivity, you know? ”

"Mother, I understand."

Xue Qing smiled with relief, although she suffered some sins this time, she could establish her authority in the palace, and she could also make Yimeng strong and assertive, and she would not be bullied in the future, so it would be worth it.

Not long after Yi Meng left, the official came to report that Wu Xiuyi was here. Although Xue Qing didn't have much impression of her, she also knew that she didn't participate in the flower viewing party yesterday, and now she came to ask for a meeting, thinking that she came here to show her goodwill.

Xue Qing thought about it, since she didn't embarrass herself with those people, it seems that she is a discerning person, and she should also meet her, so that she can sell herself in front of Qin Yixuan.

After all, she was an outsider, and it was inconvenient for her to receive her inside, so although she was injured, she got up, put on a cloak, and was helped by Huang Ying to the outside room. Wu Xiuyi saluted very well and sent the prepared supplements. Xue Qing glanced at Huang Ying, and Huang Ying retreated with the palace people.

Wu Xiuyi took a sip of tea and exclaimed: "The objects on Niangniang's side are really excellent, and this tea will only be appreciated by the emperor during the New Year's Festival." "Jiujiu Library

Xue Qing smiled: "If you like it, I'll ask Huang Ying to pack some for you later." ”

Wu Xiuyi hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is here to confess to the mother, where do you dare to accept the mother's reward." ”

Xue Qing asked knowingly: "It's strange, those people who humiliated me yesterday didn't come, but you, an unrelated person, want to come to confess, why is this?" ”

Wu Xiuyi got up, blessed her body, and said: "Niangniang Mingjian, the concubine knew that yesterday's flower-viewing party was a Hongmen banquet set up by the queen for the mother, and the concubine did not want to be the enemy of the mother, and she did not dare to offend the queen, so she had to excuse herself from illness. If she had known that she would have suffered such a big grievance, the concubine would definitely not have escaped, and she would have to say a few words for her mother. ”

Xue Qing looked at the person in front of her, and she was five points similar to herself, especially the pair of eyes. To be honest, she doesn't like seeing people who look the same as herself, but instead has a feeling of being spied on. Especially yesterday, when she saw those people who were similar to herself, but one by one they pointed the finger at herself, eager to replace them, she felt even more uncomfortable.

She doesn't blame Qin Yixuan, although the Great Qin Kingdom is open to the people, it is not as demanding on women as its neighbors, and there are many constraints, if a woman does not have the consent of her husband, she cannot show her true face, but the status of men and women is not the same.

Any decent man will have a few wives and concubines, a few maids, and some even raise some singing and dancing girls. What's more, he is the emperor, he can't be like his father and Bingyan, pursuing a lifetime and a couple. He has been on the throne for twenty-two years, and the number of people in the harem is less than thirty, which is already very restrained compared to the three thousand beauties of other emperors.

"Sit down! You don't need to blame yourself, even if you go, you can't change the queen's mind. It's better for you to avoid it than for multiple people to humiliate me. ”

"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine still knows herself. Among the many sisters in the harem, the concubines are not outstanding, the reason why they can get the emperor's mercy is still relying on the shadow of the mother, how dare the concubines give up their roots? ”

is really a smart one, no wonder among those people, only she can rank among the nine concubines and give birth to a princess. Despite this, Xue Qing has no interest in forming a gang at all. Besides, although she can understand Qin Yixuan, it doesn't mean that she likes to serve a husband with others, and when she looks at people who are similar to herself, she feels uncomfortable.

"Your mind is already known to this palace. Rest assured, yesterday's events will not affect you. This palace is tired, you kneel down. ”

"Disturbing the mother's rest, it's the concubine's or not, and the concubine retires."

On this day, Guan Ju Palace is really lively. Xue Qing drank a cup of tea, and was just about to go back to lie down for a while, when the official came back to report again: "Niangniang, General Lei Ao's wife asks to see you." ”

"Ren Caidie? Missing! ”

"Yes!"

"Hey, wait!"

"What do you command?"

"Forget it, let's see. Dry her for half an hour, I'll go rest for a while, and call me later. ”

"Slaves obey!"

"Sister!" Ren Caidie was very excited when she saw Xue Qing, she couldn't wait to burst into tears, and opened her arms to rush forward to set up the heat.

"Sit down!" Xue Qing said lightly.

"Uh..." Ren Caidie paused, put away her hand, sat down on the chair on one side, and laughed at herself: "Look at my confusion, you are now a concubine, no longer my sister." ”

Xue Qing smiled lightly: "You are also Mrs. Lei now, and you are no longer my sister." ”

Ren Caidie didn't expect Xue Qing to be ruthless, thinking that the queen offended her hard yesterday, and said embarrassedly: "Sister, I didn't know that you were Concubine Li's mother......"

Xue Qing didn't speak, just looked at her with amusement. Jing Yun didn't know about the affairs of the previous generation, and she believed that they might deliberately hide it from him. She Ren Caidie doesn't know who to lie. If she didn't know her identity, how could she unite with Lei Yulin seventeen years ago and cause Yu Heng to die tragically, but now she is pretending to be stupid with this face.

Seeing that she didn't react, Ren Caidie stiffened her head and continued: "Sister, Yu Heng wanted to marry you at the beginning, but he didn't achieve his wish until he died, and now his son and your princess can tie the knot, and it is fate to think about it." ”

Jingyun is as infatuated as Yuheng, he knew that he could marry the princess that day, and he didn't know how happy he was when he came back. However, I didn't expect the queen to be like that yesterday...... I...... I'm worried that the emperor will change his mind, so I want to beg my sister to ......"

"What do you want me to do, Jingyun is a talent, with the status of the Lei family, are you still worried about not having a good family?"

"Sister!" Ren Caidie was anxious, "The queen's approach does not represent the Lei family's thoughts. Princess Zhaorong is your daughter, if Jingyun can climb high, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of Yuheng's wish. I will treat her wholeheartedly and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance. ”

Is this when she's a three-year-old? This Lei family really changed their faces and changed the sky, Xue Qing didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, and she didn't bother to guess, she just smiled: "Children's affairs, let's not worry about it, let it be." ”
