Chapter 9: Before the Storm
"Who saved me just now?" After waking up, Zhao Ying asked Zhao Xuan.
"It's a little palace maid, called Xiang'er. It's sweet and shy. It was the artificial respiration she did for you, and she has already run away, so don't look around. ”
"Xiang'er? Haven't heard of this name. Zhao Yingying shook his head, no wonder, how could he know the names of so many palace maids in the palace.
"Why do you say Xiang'er is just a low-level palace maid? looks so beautiful, and it looks very talented, not like an ordinary palace maid. ”
"There are more good-looking women in the palace, if the concubines only look at their appearance, wouldn't they be able to line up from Bianjing to Liao." Zhao Yingli disagreed.
"Hehe, it's rare that you can see it, big brother, but you really haven't seen Xiang'er's appearance, and she learns artificial respiration very quickly, I don't think she is an ordinary woman."
"Even if the palace maid wants to be promoted, she has to go through layers of selection, and there are many unspoken rules. Why, I see you're very interested in that Xiang'er? Zhao Yingyi smiled.
"Do you want me to go to Your Majesty's place to marry you?"
"Don't, don't hurt other girls, I think what you said made His Majesty notice Xiang'er, maybe she will become your little lady in a blink of an eye."
"Hehe, if you say bad things about Your Majesty behind your back like this, aren't you afraid that I will go to him to chew my tongue?"
"Big brother, I know you won't, we're in the same boat now."
Zhao Xuan is right, everyone is in the same boat, this fire is really strange, and what is even more strange is that the door was actually locked.
And there is a secret passage in front of the secretary, which is also connected to the bottom of the river, but now the secret passage has been flooded by the river. It's a pity that it can't be testified.
Do Your Majesty and the eldest lady know about the secret path of the secret pavilion? Who is the person who wants to harm himself and Zhao Xuan?
"Don't worry, I promise you that I won't speak ill of you and reveal your skills in front of Your Majesty and the eldest lady."
"As for the matter of Miss Xiang'er that you are worried about, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty is only interested in Chengxian now. Even if she is interested in Miss Xiang'er, the eldest lady will not agree. Zhao Yingyi broke the key in one sentence.
The eldest lady Liu E is the master of the harem, Your Majesty has to listen to her, Zhao Ying, and even you Zhao Xuan have to listen to her.
He Zhao Yingyi has no choice, he has no right to choose his beloved girl, it is better not to be tempted, don't know.
Only then did Zhao Xuan understand that the so-called court life was calm on the surface, but in fact it was turbulent and dangerous.
No wonder Zhao Yingfu looked so taciturn in front of others, it turned out that in the face of the queen and His Majesty, he had to be careful and suppressed.
"Your Highness, it turns out that you are here, you really killed the slave maid." A eunuch hurried over.
"There is a fire in the palace, Your Highness, you are gone, the eldest lady is in a hurry, the slaves and maids have searched all over the palace and outside the palace, and you can be regarded as having found you. Come back with me. ”
Harem.
Liu E sat upright, looking at the disheveled Zhao Yingying, a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, Zhao Yingying was not burned to death, it was good that he was still alive.
"You go down and freshen up first." Liu E said lightly.
This is the relationship between mother and child with a complex political background, and there is not even a simple greeting in the catastrophe.
For Zhao Yingying, he is accustomed to this, and if the eldest lady cries at this time, it will make him uncomfortable.
When Zhao Yingfu appeared in front of Liu E in a clean outfit, she nodded with satisfaction.
However, the air was heavy at this time, and a storm was inevitable.
