14. Scheming (II)
"Niangniang, please listen to Xiaoyu!"
Xiaoyu's words made Concubine Ying seem to have been doused from head to toe with a basin of cold water, calmed down, and raised her eyes to look at her, "Oh? Tell me, what's going on? ”
"It's not a bad thing." Xiao Yu lowered her head, not daring to look at her, but reciting the excuse that Xiao Xue had prepared for her a long time ago, "Since Ruohua is suspicious of us, but it is also aimed at the 'Imperial Concubine faction', my sister and I have never really revealed our identities, saying that it is your person, and the four princesses can't guess us no matter how suspicious they are."
"Take this opportunity, on the contrary, it is time to make meritorious contributions in front of the imperial concubine, we continue to implement our plan, and the imperial concubine may not shake her status because of these trivial things, the best of both worlds, why not?"
Concubine Ying looked at her with a little interest, and the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden, "Then do you think that this palace should stand by and do what it needs to do?" ”
"......" Xiaoyu didn't answer, and secretly glanced at Xiaoxue out of the corner of his eye.
Xiao Xue didn't react, still keeping her head down, as if in thought. Xiaoyu had no choice but to be silent with her, and for a while the main hall of Xianfu Palace fell into an inexplicable silence.
Concubine Ying sat back on the main seat, glanced at the two of them, and a smile rose on the corner of her mouth, "Okay, you go back quickly, when the time comes, it will be discovered that you have come to the palace." ”
"Yes." Xiaoxue Xiaoyu hurriedly went out, not daring to stay longer.
Seeing that the two of them were gone, Concubine Ying turned her head to the palace maid on the side and said, "Let's all go down and call your sister Qianluo." ”
"Yes."
Qianluo came in not long after, knelt in front of Concubine Ying, and bowed respectfully, "Niangniang." ”
"You say...... In this harem, that woman doesn't want a child......" Concubine Ying saw her henchman, and finally couldn't help revealing her true feelings, "You said that you gave up so much, accompanied the palace all the way to the palace, and now you have entered the palace, tell me, why doesn't the palace have a child?" ”
"Niangniang......" Qianluo naturally saw that her master was wrong, but Concubine Ying has always been moody in private, and even she couldn't understand Concubine Ying's thoughts, so she had to call in a low voice.
Concubine Ying didn't seem to hear it, "The imperial concubine has three elder brothers, and Concubine Cheng has three princesses...... And this palace has never even raised a single child from beginning to end. ”
Qianluo didn't know how to comfort Concubine Ying's emotions, so she had to be silent on the sidelines.
"Forget it, you don't understand this." Concubine Ying smiled self-deprecatingly, and then headed towards Qianluo, "You go and do what I will say later...... This time, only success is allowed, and no failure is allowed......"
Gyeongin Palace.
"Princess, it's your birthday in a few days." Xian Yu looked at Ruohua excitedly, and the smile on her face made Ruohua feel a little headache, "You, it's better to be more restrained, it's not that you want to celebrate your birthday, this palace doesn't say anything, but you are good, more excited than this palace." ”
"Haha......" Xian Yu smiled awkwardly, if Ruohua hadn't said it, she would have really been too excited.
She looked at the furnishings in Ruohua's dormitory, and couldn't help but say, "Princess...... Isn't it possible that when we go out, we will be able to live in a very big mansion? Then you can also ...... the things in the house to your liking."
"You......" Ruohua was a little surprised, but suddenly remembered that she entered the palace at the age of five, what it was like outside the palace, even she didn't know, let alone Xian, she was relieved to think about it like this, and she didn't comment on her unreasonable words.
"Doesn't the princess think it's silly?" Seeing Ruohua, Xian Yi just smiled, didn't say anything, and hurriedly said, "The grandmother who took me before said that stupid people have stupid blessings, although Xian Yi feels that he is not stupid, but this is not wrong." ”
"If this palace thought you were stupid, I would have left you away a long time ago, otherwise I would have waited for you to make trouble for me? Although you say that your mind is simple, you will not mess up when you encounter major events, which this palace can trust. Ruohua was helpless, so she had to say it casually, so that the stupid girl who thinks about what she has and doesn't have every day can rest easy.
Slender pouted, "Then you just thought that Slender was too slow to learn words......
"Just going around and talking about this?" This time, Ruohua really cried and laughed, "This palace now thinks you are slow to learn words, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether you are stupid or not, besides, haven't you also learned a few?" ”
"I'm afraid that the princess won't teach me when the time comes." She squeezed out a smile, and then lowered her head.
Ruohua smiled, shook a slender hand and put it on her hand, and patted the back of her hand, "How old are you that I am older, how can you be more unreasonable than this palace!" ”
"A princess is a princess, how dare you compare with a princess." Slender Que seemed to be angry, and the higher her mouth grew, there was a tendency to warp to the sky, "Don't say it, Princess, Slender Er admits that she is stupid." ”
"You're not stupid, you just don't have any scheming." Ruohua glanced at her and continued, "There will definitely be a lot of turmoil after that, if you can't even learn to be vigilant against the people around you, then you will really become a burden to follow this palace in the future." But if you are willing to listen to the advice of this palace and pay more attention, then you may be able to be a powerful assistant of this palace in the future. ”
"Really?" This sentence is a little surprising.
Ruohua nodded, straightening his face, "Huang Ama has promised to the palace, this time, and the game, will definitely give the palace a title, and when the time comes, when the time comes, it will be the world that the palace has never been in contact with, and it is difficult to say whether the palace can protect itself, if you want to protect you, I'm afraid it won't be possible." ”
"What the princess said is that she knows." There was still childishness in Xian Yuan, and he didn't know if he was angry or what, so he replied and refused to speak.
"Don't feel bad, this palace naturally knows your thoughts." Ruohua glanced at her, "You have followed this palace for the longest time, this palace is just telling you today, no matter what this palace does in the future, this palace hopes that you can understand this palace." ”
"Princess......" Xian Yu was stunned by Ruohua's words, but she didn't react for a while.
"Bengong is not necessarily a noble person, Bengong only knows that since he is here, living is the last word, if he loses his life, then what's good. So, if Hongu becomes strange to you after that, makes you feel intimidated, and becomes good at scheming, will you continue to follow Hongu? Ruohua turned around and said something he had been brewing for a long time.
"Why do you say this to Xian Li, princess, haven't you always been a very good person? No matter what, you're still a delicate princess......" Slender blinked, her eyes full of infinite confusion.
She really couldn't figure out why Ruohua suddenly said this to her.
When Ruohua heard this, there were tears flashing in her eyes, she was really touched that someone was willing to say such things to her. But you really don't, do you?
"It's nothing, let's rest for a while, you should be tired from looking at these words, go back and rest, Bengong rest for a while." Ruohua hurriedly turned his head, got up and walked inside.
Xian Yu watched her walk in, swallowing back many of the questions that were about to blurt out. She thought silently: since the princess doesn't want to explain, let's wait until the day when she is willing to explain.
Turn away and stop no more.
"Slim, I don't want it in my life, you'll think I'm terrible."
