Although Concubine Huo Xian is not as high as Queen Yao's status, and she is not as favored as Concubine Lin Guifei, she has a prince who is an adult, and her mother's family is the hereditary Marquis of Jingbei, so her status in the palace is not low.

Gonggong Fu led Huo Sijin and a few people into Yuxiu Palace, "Please take a moment, Niangniang will be here in a while." ”

There was already a palace maid on the side who handed over refreshments for the people of the Jingbei Hou Mansion to enjoy.

"Mother, slow down." Huo Sijin helped Yang sit down slowly

Yang's health was not good, and when she walked all the way here from the palace gate, she was already a little tired, and her mouth was a little dry, so she picked up the teacup next to her casually, but before she could reach her mouth, she was stopped by Huo Sijin, "Mother, wait." ”

Yang was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?" ”

Huo Sijin paused, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Let the child see if the tea is hot first." ”

She touched the teacup, but her eyes were quietly looking at the streamer, seeing that the streamer nodded, she returned it to Yang, "It's not hot, mother, you can drink it." ”

Yang didn't know why, but Huo Sijin was really worried that the tea was too hot, and said with a smile: "You kid, can your mother not touch the tea if it's hot?" ”

There was no reproach in the tone, but it was full of warm warmth.

A cup of tea is almost at the bottom, but there is still no figure of Concubine Huo Xian, Huo Zhirou couldn't sit still, tugged on Zhou's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Mother, why hasn't my aunt come yet?" ”

Zhou patted the back of Huo Zhirou's hand, "Rou'er, don't worry, just wait." ”

Concubine Huo Xian didn't arrive for a long time, and Zhou was also wondering what was going on. Isn't it that Concubine Huo Xian also deliberately hung them here and beat them because of the previous hunting grounds?

But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem right, Concubine Huo Xian has never used such means, and the Jingbei Hou Mansion is her mother's family, so it doesn't make sense to treat her mother's family like this?

"Mother, my daughter wants to go outside and take a look." Huo Zhirou tugged at the corner of Zhou's clothes and shook it lightly twice.

Huo Zhirou is not a particularly patient person, waiting here, waiting for her heart to be furious, she leaned to Zhou's side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mother, I want to go to Brother Li." ”

Zhou's worries were that Concubine Huo Xian was annoyed with them, but Huo Zhirou was full of thoughts about Chu Li, since the incident in the hunting grounds, she had never seen Chu Li again, this time Concubine Xian summoned her, she came with the intention of coming to see Chu Li.

Concubine Huo Xian didn't come, Chu Li didn't come either, Huo Zhirou was in a hurry, she thought it would be better to go out to find Chu Li by herself.

Zhou hesitated for a moment, since Concubine Huo Xian asked them to wait here, if Huo Zhirou ran out halfway, there would inevitably be some lack of etiquette, but Concubine Huo Xian had never appeared for so long, and Zhou also had doubts and worries in his heart, instead of waiting here, it was better to let Huo Zhirou go out and have a look.

"Mother......" Huo Zhirou coquettishly towards the Zhou family.

Only then did Zhou come back to his senses and said in a low voice: "You just walk around the Chuxiu Palace, don't run far, if you see Concubine Xian Niangniang and the three princes, don't be as petty as in the past, and keep in mind what your mother taught you." ”

Huo Zhirou saw that Zhou agreed, and nodded again and again, "Okay, good, my daughter knows, mother, you can rest assured." ”

After saying that, he lifted his skirt and walked out quickly.

Seeing this, Yang frowned slightly, "Niangniang asked us to wait, why did she run out?" ”

"Sister, don't worry, Rou'er, this child often comes to the palace, and the mother knows that she has a lively temperament, so she won't blame." Zhou chuckled and replied.

Zhou's voice was gentle and charming, but the words he said were all contemptuous. Zhou's is the second wife, and Yang's is the main house, but she calls Yang her sister on the grounds of her age.

Huo Zhirou often comes to the palace, and Concubine Huo Xian likes her, on the other hand, Huo Sijin and Yang, they have come to Chuxiu Palace only a handful of times, and the gap between the two is too big.

Hearing this, Yang couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her heart, she was not a fool, how could she not hear what Zhou's words meant, and her heart couldn't help but feel a faint pain.

"Mother, are you alright?" Seeing this, Huo Sijin hurriedly stepped forward, and the streamer who was waiting on Yang's side had already reached out to support Yang's first.

Yang's eyes were a little red, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and shook his head, "It's okay." ”

Zhou looked at Yang's expression in his eyes and smiled contemptuously, Yang's soft and weak appearance is not interesting to bully, she just said a word, Yang couldn't resist it, it was really useless.

The streamer quietly wiped the pulse of the Yang family, and made a look at Huo Sijin: Madame is fine.

Huo Sijin relieved his heart at this time, turned his head to look at Zhou, and just saw the contemptuous smile on the corner of Zhou's mouth in his eyes, and suddenly his heart was full of anger.

"The second lady said cautiously, your sister, don't say that my mother can't afford it, even Concubine Xian will be unhappy when she hears it. The rules in the palace are strict, especially the respect and humility of the young and the elderly, and Concubine Xian will not call Concubine Lin her sister like her wife. ”

Concubine Lin's position is above Concubine Huo Xian, but her age is a few years younger than Concubine Huo Xian, but if Concubine Huo Xian wants to be called a sister, she can only call Concubine Lin a sister, not a younger sister.

Huo Sijin talked about Concubine Huo Xian, and Rao is Zhou couldn't find any mistakes, she gritted her teeth, and the corners of her mouth barely pulled out a smile, "Look at my mouth, it's all because I'm used to it on weekdays." ”

The implication is that she dares to call the Yang family her sister in a grand manner, not because the Yang family is useless and has the name of Mrs. Zhengmu, but in fact she is a defeated subordinate.

Huo Sijin's eyes were cold, and he smiled sarcastically, "It turns out that the second lady also realized that she didn't understand the rules?" That's not as good as this, and later, please ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to point out a nurturing grandmother to the second lady, and teach the second lady the rules well. ”

Raising a grandmother has always taught the rules of the young lady who has not been out of the cabinet, and has never taught the women of any family the rules, if there is, it is that the woman does not know how to measure, and if she loses the rules, she will be raised.

Zhou was so angry that he almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, "Changjin, you can't help but deceive people too much, and you want to humiliate me, no matter how I say it, I am also your elder." ”

Seeing Zhou's angry face, Huo Sijin calmed down, "After all, Second Madame, you yourself just said 'no matter what you say', you have no fate, and what the elders said is really a bit far-fetched." ”

Immediately, the corners of Huo Sijin's lips slightly hooked an arc, and said with a light smile: "I advise the second lady to follow the rules and call me the eldest young master, or Lord Huo." ”

"You ......"

Zhou was exhausted and was about to speak, but Huo Sijin interjected, "This is the palace, the second lady should not cause trouble, otherwise you will implicate Concubine Xian." ”

Even if the Marquis of Jingbei spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, everyone in the capital knew about it, but after all, this was a family affair of the Marquis of Jingbei, and the emperor turned a blind eye to it, and the officials did not hold on to it, but they did not know.

But if something goes wrong, especially in the palace, it's different. The internal affairs of the Marquis of Jingbei, the official and the emperor can be blind, but if it happens in the palace, it will involve the palace rules, and the nature will be very different......

Huo Sijin raised his eyebrows at Zhou, and cast a provocative look, Zhou's face turned blue. But she can only endure it, she has always been a rational person, at this time, she can only endure, holding the silk handkerchief tightly, almost crushing the silk handkerchief.

After about a cup of tea, there was finally the sound of footsteps outside.

Zhou hurriedly got up and turned his head to look, and sure enough, Concubine Huo Xian had arrived. It's just that Concubine Huo Xian's appearance is really a little ......

A strand of hair on her sideburns danced in the wind, the phoenix hairpin on her head seemed to be crumbling, and Concubine Huo Xian's face was full of tiredness, pale face, dry lips, and a crumbling body......

The two palace maids, one on the left and one on the right, supported Concubine Huo Xian, it was obvious that looking at this posture, if these two palace maids accidentally let go, Concubine Huo Xian would definitely not be able to stand firmly.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhou hurriedly stepped forward, and he didn't care about saluting, so he hurriedly went to support Concubine Huo Xian.

However, she was stopped by Concubine Huo Xian, "It's good that the palace is supported by the palace maid, and don't move if your sister-in-law is pregnant." ”

Only then did Zhou remember that she was a pregnant woman and couldn't use too much force, so she withdrew her hand, but she still didn't forget to care for Concubine Huo Xian, "Niangniang, slow down." ”

The palace people carefully helped Concubine Huo Xian to sit down on the chair, and Huo Sijin helped the Yang family and saluted Concubine Huo Xian, "Say hello to Concubine Xian." ”

Huo Sijin and the Yang family bowed down, and they said that they were asking for peace, and the Zhou family couldn't fall behind, and they also followed the bow to Concubine Huo Xian.

"It's all your own family, so you don't need these false courtesies, the two sisters-in-law get up quickly, Changjin, you quickly help your mother sit down." Concubine Huo Xian waved her hand, and her voice was full of weakness.

"Thank you, mother." The three of them thanked each other, then got up and returned to their original positions.

Concubine Huo Xian said that her family didn't need to be polite, they wouldn't really care about etiquette.

Several people sat down one after another, and Concubine Huo Xian took the tea handed by the palace people, took a few sips first, and waited until her lips were moisturized, and then she spoke: "It's too late for the palace, have you waited for a long time?" ”

Yang shook his head and replied gently: "Niangniang has something to do, and it is the concubine who disturbs Niangniang." ”

"Where is the main palace to be busy, but ......"

Concubine Huo Xian wanted to speak and stopped, sighed, and did not continue after all. Then he looked at Yang and said softly: "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time, how is my sister-in-law doing lately?" ”

Except for Huo Sijin, Xi Mama and others, no one has cared about her for a long time, Yang only felt flattered, a warm current swept in his heart, and he hurriedly got up and saluted Concubine Huo Xian, "Thank you Niangniang for your concern, the concubine is already much better." ”

Concubine Huo Xian smiled and nodded: "That's good, the palace has always remembered the sister-in-law, but she is in the palace, so it is inconvenient to visit." ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin's eyes drooped, and his slender eyelashes covered the cold light in his eyes......
