But even if the person who came was not good, she Chu Xingyue was not good at stubble, just to see what tricks she wanted to play.

Chu Xingyue handed the brewed fragrant tea to Zhou Guifei: "Niangniang, please use it." ”

Zhou Yanran took the tea handed over and didn't rush to drink it, but turned the teacup, as if she was quite interested in the tea that exuded a faint tea fragrance: "The princess also likes to drink the tongue of birds?" Bengong remembers that this is King Ling's favorite tea to drink. ”

"Is this a finch tongue?"

Chu Xingyue sniffed the tea that exuded a faint fragrance of tea: "Niangniang may not know, I have always been a rough person, and I don't have much research on tea and the like, so I can't talk about any preferences, I just take Zhao Ling's things and use them casually." ”

The corners of Zhou Yanran's eyes jumped, and her beautiful eyes looked at Chu Xingyue: "Zhao Ling? The relationship between the princess and the prince is so good, she actually calls him by his name; Before, he wasn't. ”

"Before?"

"......" Zhou Yanran seemed to realize that her words were a little inappropriate, and quickly explained with a flustered look: "Don't misunderstand, the princess must not misunderstand, this palace is the same age as several princes, so I have known each other since I was a child; I still remember that His Royal Highness King Ling's personality in his youth was a little colder than now, where is the current tranquility and peace, it seems that after marrying the princess, it is different, and even his temperament has changed a lot. ”

"The concubine used to have a good relationship with the prince?"

"That was how many years ago, because of my father, I can often enter the palace to participate in palace banquets, and I have met several highnesses when I come and go; His Royal Highness King Xi has a lively personality, and he is the most endearing and disgusting among their brothers, King Ling has a cold temperament and does not like to talk, but the palace will occasionally tease him a few times with several highnesses. ”

At this moment, Chu Xingyue finally knew why she felt uncomfortable from Zhou Yanran's body.

This woman looks kind and angry, and her words are also very decent, but her words are showing others that she has known Zhao Ling since she was a child; It's like getting a beloved toy to show off to others, with a little bit of demonstration and a little bad intentions.

can't blame Chu Xingyue for being suspicious and suspicious, just because Zhou Yanran's identity is very different.

If she was just an ordinary noblewoman, it would be nothing to say such things, but she is now the imperial concubine, the concubine of Zhao Ling and Zhao Xi's father, strictly speaking, she can be regarded as Zhao Ling's little mother.

But this woman told her one by one about her love affair with Zhao Ling since she was a child, didn't she know what it meant to avoid suspicion? Or rather, she did it on purpose.

But if it was on purpose, why did she do it?

Could it be......

Chu Xingyue's heart jumped suddenly, and she looked at the dignified and beautiful Zhou Yanran beside her in surprise.

Today's Zhou Yanran is in the prime of peach and plum flowers, but such a beautiful woman has to be by the side of a man who is getting old; Will she really be willing? Will you really accept your fate?

In addition, Zhou Yanran has lived in the rich circle of the capital since she was a child, and has seen countless handsome men; Is such a woman really willing to spend her whole life buried in that high palace wall?

Noticing Chu Xingyue's suspicious and inquiring eyes, Zhou Yanran's hand holding the teacup quietly tightened without missing a trace; She is the best at observing words and feelings, and naturally she also noticed that Chu Xingyue seemed to have guessed something.

I really didn't expect that this woman would become so sharp after not dying once.

Fortunately, she didn't leak too much, even if Chu Xingyue was suspicious, she couldn't do anything about her without evidence; Besides, she also had a way to get Chu Xingyue to eliminate the doubts in her heart.

Zhou Yanran finally drank the sip of tea in the cup, and her eyes were full of openness: "When I see Princess Ling today, I will inevitably be a little verbose, I hope that Princess Ling will not see outside." ”

Chu Xingyue smiled and gently shook her head at Zhou Yanran.

"Time flies, all of us are different, who would have thought that after our group of children grew up, the fate would be so different."

Zhou Yanran sighed as if she was wistful: "Several princes have grown up, and each of them has become kings, whether it is in the court or in the fiefdom, they have their own achievements; And this palace has changed from the little girl who was afraid to even enter the palace to ask for peace and hid behind people to the owner of the Quewei Palace; It's just us who are talking about things and people, only this pond of lotus flowers is still as vibrant as it was back then. ”

Chu Xingyue replied according to the number of rites: "Why do you have to be so emotional, you are now noble, and you are in this beautiful year, it should be the time of life to be proud, just like the lotus flower in the lotus pond, the most swaying and fragrant flowers." ”

"However, no matter how well the lotus blooms, there will be a day of failure, and no matter how charming the fragrance of the flowers is, there will be a day when it will dissipate."

Chu Xingyue hurriedly knelt on her knees and confessed: "It's all Yue'er's fault that makes Niangniang so sentimental." ”

Zhou Yanran looked at Chu Xingyue who was trembling, with a generous smile on her face, but under her eyes was the superior posture of the superior.

"Look at you, this palace is just talking casually, but it is scaring you."

Zhou Yanran personally helped Chu Xingyue up and said, "Okay, I can come to talk to you today, and the heart of this palace is also a lot more comfortable, Yue'er, when you return to the capital in a few days, you have to come to the Quewei Palace often to visit the palace, the palace likes you very much." ”

While speaking, Zhou Yanran asked the palace attendant beside her to bring up a high-quality golden silk nan wooden box, opened the wooden box, and there was a pair of blood jade bracelets inside: "This palace and Yue'er are like you at first sight, a small meeting gift, please accept it." ”

As she spoke, Zhou Yanran took out a blood jade bracelet and put it on Chu Xingyue's slender wrist, with a kind softness between her expression and movements.

Chu Xingyue was flattered and accepted the jade bracelet, bowed again and saluted, and then politely sent Zhou Yanran away.

……

Seeing that the steps that were hugged by the palace ladies disappeared in front of Yushengju, Chun Xing hurriedly walked up, looked at the blood jade bracelet on Chu Xingyue's wrist with a happy face, and praised it repeatedly.

"The slave maid has long heard that Concubine Zhou in the Quewei Palace is the most kind character, and when I saw it today, it was so; Miss, although this blood jade bracelet is common, it is rare to have such a smooth blood jade bracelet, it seems that Zhou Guifei really likes you, and even brought such a valuable gift to you. ”

As she spoke, Chun Xing reached out and touched the bracelet on Chu Xingyue's wrist with envy.

Chu Xingyue looked faint, seeing that Chun Xing liked it, she immediately handed her wrist up: "If you like it, give it to you." ”

"Miss, don't bother the slave maid, how can a slave and maid be worthy of wearing such a precious thing."

Chun Xing smiled innocently and harmlessly and said: "Besides, such a beautiful jade bracelet will only look good if the young lady wears it." ”

After saying this, Chun Xing could not sense a hint of something wrong, and looked at Chu Xingyue with an uneasy look: "Miss seems to be unhappy?" Is there something wrong with the slave? ”

Chu Xingyue sat back on the round bench with the help of Chunxing, looked at the lotus pond not far away, and muttered, "It's not that you did wrong, but that people came wrong." ”

"What do you mean by that, Miss?"

Chu Xingyue raised her head and looked at Chun Xing: "Do you really think that this Zhou Guifei came to visit me because she was bored of hanging out?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Chu Xingyue rolled her eyes at this little girl who didn't have a long heart: "You, if you are sold, you will help you count the money." ”

Chu Xingyue stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, "If she is really bored and wandering around, will she prepare a gift for me early?" She had come prepared for a long time. ”

As soon as Chun Xing heard Chu Xingyue say this, she was immediately startled: "How can this be?" We have never intersected with this concubine, what does it mean that she suddenly came like this. ”

"yes, I'm curious what she's up to."

Chu Xingyue's face showed contemplation: "At first, I thought she was showing me something, so she deliberately said those words in front of me; But then, she showed a posture of Sister Lin who hated spring and autumn sorrow, and this knife in the open and a shot in the secret really made me a little confused. ”

"Slaves are even more confused." Chunxing drooped her head, looking confused.

Chu Xingyue stabilized her mind and said, "However, no matter how many tricks she makes, there is one thing she can't escape, that is, this noble concubine looks simple and clean like a mountain stream, but in fact, her mind is gloomy; She came to talk to me so much today, mainly to convey to me the friendship she has known several highnesses since she was a child. ”

What does this mean? Several princes have grown up in the capital since they were children, and it is reasonable to know some courtiers and nobles. ”

"So, this is what Zhou Guifei has done extraordinary. As you said, it's normal for princes to know the daughters of courtiers, but have you ever seen any of the daughters of courtiers come up to me and pick out this matter and take the initiative to say it? Only she, Zhou Yanran, did it today. ”

Although Chun Xing was confused, she finally understood the truth at this time, and immediately shook her spirit, grabbed Chu Xingyue's wrist and said nervously: "Isn't it that the noble concubine also has any thoughts about our prince." ”

Chu Xingyue immediately made a silent gesture and said, "This is just a random guess I have now, you can't take it out and talk nonsense." ”

"The slave knows, but miss, what if this is true?"

Chu Xingyue raised her chin slightly, with a sneer on her expression, and said, "What can I do?" She Zhou Yanran is now the concubine of today, is it possible that she still wants to make a mess

Lun hooked up with Zhao Ling? Even if she wants to fornicate, I'm afraid that with Zhao Ling's character, she will sneer at her; So, from the beginning, this idea of hers was impossible. ”

"Why would she do it if it wasn't possible?"

Chun Xing's words are exactly the crux of the matter, Zhou Yanran is a woman who is a hundred times smarter than Li Fuqing at first glance, if she really has thoughts about Zhao Ling, it is impossible to startle the snake.

However, if she has no idea, why is she constantly tempted to think like that by insinuations? What the hell does this woman want to do?!

Chu Xingyue tightened her eyebrows, and for the first time she had the feeling of being met by a fierce enemy.
