Since the dung spilling incident, Sheng Qing'an's status in the palace has plummeted, in addition to the sneering of Mrs. Houfu, Qi Xuan also treats her coldly, and even the maid who serves her is not very concerned about herself.

This morning, the maid Xiaocui dressed herself up, and the hairpin that combed her hair pierced her scalp, which made Sheng Qingan's scalp numb for a while, and she screamed with a sigh, and was so angry that she jumped like thunder.

"You little bitch, you prostitute gave birth to a little mongrel, even you bullied your aunt's head! I think you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dare to hurt your aunt and grandmother! ”

With a snap, a slap fell heavily on Xiao Cui's face, and she used all her strength to vent all the humiliation she had suffered in the past few days.

Xiaocui thought she was unlucky, and knew that Sheng Qing'an was not a master to be messed with, so she shouted for mercy again and again.

The more Sheng Qingan heard her cry, the more excited she became, the more she beat in her heart, the more refreshing she became, and the strength of her subordinates became stronger and stronger, until half of Xiaocui's face was swollen and about to drip blood before she would give up.

Qi Xuan heard the movement early in the morning, wondering who could cry so miserably early in the morning, and followed the sound to Sheng Qing'an's room.

Qi Xuan pushed open the door and found that Sheng Qingan was in charge of a girl, and the maid couldn't help but feel a headache when she saw that she was about to be beaten to death. He has been upset that everything has not been going well in the past few days, and he is even more angry when he sees this posture in front of him.

"Sheng Qing'an, stop me! As the young lady of the Hou Mansion, you look like a shrew, what kind of body have you become! ”

He scolded Sheng Qingan loudly.

Sheng Qingan didn't expect someone to stop him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was all Qi Xuan, and he scolded with tears and anger without grief and anger.

"Okay, you Qi Xuan! You actually murdered me for a maid today? Okay, now Miss Ben has no use value, you want to start messing up and give up, right? It must be her fox goblin who seduces you, come and drag her down and beat her to death! ”

Sheng Qing'an lost his mind more and more, and roared at Qi Xuan with his teeth and claws, without the slightest bearing of the young lady of Houmen.

"Don't, young lady, Xiaocui didn't seduce the little marquis, the slave is wronged! Ask the young lady to raise her noble hand and let go of the little one! The young lady spared her life, the slave maid was really wronged, the slave didn't want to die! Xiaocui fell to her knees and cried and begged for mercy.

"Be sober!"

Qi Xuan roared, waved his hand and slapped Sheng Qingan, the sound was so loud that it could be said to be around the beam for three days.

"You actually beat me!" Sheng Qingan covered his aching face with one hand, and pointed at Qi Xuan with the other, looking incredulous, "Okay, Qi Xuan, you actually beat me for a four maids today!" The old lady is not finished with you! ”

"I think you're crazy, and you're not afraid of being known by your mother for making such a big fuss early in the morning! It's been making a lot of trouble in this house all day long, so it's better to think about what to do next. ”

Qi Xuan's words reminded her that now that she has landed this field is all thanks to Sheng Zi'an, she must find a way to kill Sheng Zi'an, so that she will not die well, so that she can relieve the hatred in her heart.

"It's easy to say, tell me what to do now!" Sheng Qingan calmed down and began to discuss countermeasures with Qi Xuan.

When the two were thinking about it, the little maid outside the door came to report that the people of the Seven Imperial Concubines had come.

"Don't hurry up yet!" Sheng Qingan instructed his subordinates to prepare tea and hurry up to greet him, the Seventh Imperial Concubine sent someone at this juncture, there must be something important, maybe the turning point of the matter is here.

"The young lady is polite. The slave maid came today to spread the words of the imperial concubine and invite the young lady to come over the house to eat and eat newly made refreshments. ”

It is said that it is to eat refreshments, but in fact, it is to discuss things, these seven princes are strict in their work, and the people in this house are also very well disciplined.

"Since the Seventh Imperial Concubine has warmly invited, then Mrs. Ben is better off obeying her fate than being respectful."

After Sheng Qingan followed the girl sent by the Seventh Imperial Concubine and left, the Seventh Prince sent someone to invite Qi Xuan to come over the mansion.

Qi Xuan understood now, the Seven Princes obviously wanted to throw an olive branch to themselves, the four princes in front of him were already offended, and they could only rely on the Seventh Prince, he was trying to find the Seventh Prince to show his goodwill, but he didn't expect the Seven Princes to take the initiative to invite, it seems that this is the time to ally with the Seven Princes, it should be eight or nine.

Although the decoration in the Seven Princes' Mansion is simple at first glance, it is all made of fine materials when you look closely, revealing a sense of luxury in a low-key manner.

Sheng Qing'an, who was walking all the way in the mansion behind the messenger girl, saw the surrounding environment, the rockery, lake and water pavilions, at a glance, it was a person with some strength, which made Sheng Qing feel at ease, it seems that although the matter of the four princes is yellow, these seven princes are also a person who should not be underestimated, it seems that the city government should be quite deep.

Bypassing the long corridor with heavy hooks, it took about a quarter of an hour to arrive at the bedroom of the Seventh Princess, and the maid saw that Sheng Qing'an was coming, so she hurriedly lined up in two columns to welcome her, and opened the heavy bead curtain on the door for Sheng Qing'an, and said respectfully:

"I've seen the young lady, the princess is already waiting in the inner room, the young lady, please come with me."

The maid in charge at the front led Sheng Qing'an into the inner room, which was filled with smoke for incense, and there were musicians who specialized in playing music and playing silk and bamboo.

The Seventh Imperial Concubine sat upright, and Sheng Qingan stepped forward to salute.

"Mrs. Qi is here, please sit down."

Sheng Qing'an sat next to him with interest, quietly waiting for the Seventh Imperial Concubine to open the topic.

"Recently, there is a new chef in the house, and the pastries made are exceptionally delicious, how can it be said that it is the best craftsmanship in the world. Come on, put on the pastries and give Mrs. Qi a taste. ”

The subordinates listened to the order and brought up a lot of pastries in turn, and put them in front of Sheng Qingan, Sheng Qingan saw that these pastries were just the most ordinary pastries, and they were no different on the surface.

I wondered in my heart, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Seventh Princess, could it be that I took a lot of trouble to let myself come just to taste a few pastries?

"Mrs. Qi, eat, you don't have to be restrained here."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Sheng Qing'an politely agreed, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and tasted it, the osmanthus cake melted in the mouth, fragrant and sweet, and it was indeed different from the pastries made by ordinary chefs.

Sheng Qingan looked at the faces of the Seven Imperial Princesses while eating, and saw that the Seventh Imperial Concubine's face was as usual, and there was no abnormal color, Sheng Qingan became more and more suspicious, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Seven Imperial Concubines?

"How? Mrs. Qi is still satisfied with eating?

"Osmanthus cake is fragrant and sweet in the mouth, it is indeed an extraordinary product, this thing should only be in the sky, and the world can taste it a few times."

Sheng Qing'an pretended to compliment, she wanted to see if the Seventh Imperial Concubine had called her all the way to discuss the merits of a piece of pastry.

"Mrs. Qi knows the pros and cons of this pastry, and the pros and cons of the party struggle in this court are even clearer to Mrs. Qi, right, Mrs. Qi?"

The Seventh Imperial Concubine glanced at Sheng Qingan meaningfully.

After going around for a long time, I was waiting for myself here, the Seven Princes and Princesses deserved to be the Seventh Princesses, her brains were a few more folds than ordinary people, and she was very thoughtful in doing things, if she stood in line with the Seven Princes, she would not suffer a loss, and the Four Princes were just relying on the protection of the Queen, and the world knew that the Four Princes were mediocre in talent, and they were never as good as the Seventh Princes.

Now that he has offended the four princes, it seems that Sheng Zi'an has taken refuge in the four princes, and there is only one choice left in front of him.

Both horizontally and vertically choose the Seven Princes, and it seems that the Seventh Princesses are also sure that they will not refuse, so they put such a big score in order to show the power of the Seven Princes, and let themselves know that it is a wise choice to take refuge in the Seventh Prince.

Sheng Qing'an understood and said respectfully:

"Whether the Seven Princes are in civil affairs or martial arts or in life, what a discerning person knows is that it must be a good one. It's like this osmanthus cake, except in this Seven Kings' Mansion, you can't eat such a good thing anywhere else. ”

When the Seventh Imperial Concubine saw that she was interested, she smiled and said: "Mrs. Qi is really tasteful, this osmanthus cake, except for my Seven Princes' Mansion, the others are naturally worse." ”

"The four princes must have a foresight of the little marquis Qi and you pouring feces on the street, this matter is already known to everyone, such a shame, I don't know how Mrs. Qi is willing to swallow her anger.

It's better for us to join forces, if Mrs. Qi chooses the Seventh Prince today, Mrs. Qi's enemy will be the enemy of my Qi Palace, and this imperial concubine will definitely do her best to get justice for Mrs. Qi. What do you say, Mrs. Qi? ”

"That's the case, I hope that the Seven Princesses and the Seven Princes will be more blessed, let's join forces, and we won't be afraid of those who don't measure themselves."

Sheng Qingan hurriedly went down the stone steps and hurriedly wooed the Seven Imperial Princesses. If there is a force like the Seven Princes, and then plot, it won't be long before she can make Sheng Zi'an ruined and relieve the hatred in her heart.

"That's very good."

The Seven Princes and Princesses were secretly happy in their hearts, although they had expected the ending, when the Hou Mansion returned to the Seven Princes' party, the Seven Princes would be like a tiger with wings, and the battle for the throne with the Four Princes would have more chances of winning, and she would not be far from the queen's throne.

The two continued to eat pastries and enjoy the performance of the musicians, chatting casually about some ordinary things, and the other seven princes were also holding a banquet to entertain Qi Xuan.

The Seventh Prince was straightforward, invited Qi Xuan to sit down at the banquet, and got straight to the point.

"I heard that Little Marquis Qi suffered a secret loss from the fourth brother a few days ago?" In order to have a very dark belly, although he wanted to win over Qi Xuan, he still said to others in pain as soon as he opened his mouth, so angry that Qi Xuan almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

"The four princes are not good people, and they cannot be trusted." Qi Xuan didn't hide it, and said it as usual.

"Qi Xiaohou is a cheerful person. As you can see, who is the one in the court who can be trusted? ”

The Seventh Prince seemed to inadvertently pick up the wine glass and drink, but in fact, he secretly looked at Qi Xuan's reaction with his spare eyes, testing Qi Xuan's foundation to see how capable he was, and whether it was a good deal to win him over.
