Chapter 24: Concubine Xi

Gyeongin Palace

The maid of the first palace carried the tray all the way from the tea-making room to the west room, which was the place where Concubine Xi used to rest and entertain temporarily.

As the palace people walked into the west, far away, even through the screen, you could hear the sound of humming opera.

Listening to the voice, it seems to be in a good mood.

Passing through the screen, the first palace person gently rubbed the slightly convex belly of Concubine Xi who was half-lying on the couch, while the other palace person knocked Concubine Xi's shoulder with a beating *** behind Concubine Xi.

The palace man held the tray and came to the big palace maid Pan'er who was standing on the side and stopped.

"Master, your hawthorn tea is here." Pan'er picked up the teacup from the tray and handed it to Concubine Xi with a smile, "Master, drink some and consume your food." ”

As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Concubine Xi's slightly convex belly, and she must have held it up, and said secretly in her heart.

When Concubine Xi heard this, she wanted to get up, but the two palace people who were serving her hurriedly helped her up.

After getting up, Concubine Xi took the teacup, took a sip, and then gestured to the palace people who were waiting for her on the side.

One of the two palace people knew each other, and one of them took a knock *** and knocked on Concubine Xi's shoulder.

Concubine Xi continued to take a slight sip, then squinted, holding the teacup in one hand, beating on the desk with the other, and continued to hum the opera in her mouth.

"Master, you seem to be in a good mood!" Not only did she eat enough to support her stomach, but she also hummed a tune with such interest, Pan'er said secretly in her heart.

Similarly, she also knows what hobbies Concubine Xi has when she is in a good mood.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, Concubine Xi opened her eyes and said with great interest: "It's not that it seems, it's that I'm in a very good mood!" ”

"I don't know what makes my mother so happy?" Pan'er spoke very interestingly.

Sure enough, Concubine Xi immediately took over the topic, as if she liked to show off when she was in a good mood in the past, she immediately put down the tea cup in her hand, and said very proudly: "Do you know, during the nap, this palace suddenly understood one thing, a thing that is best for this palace!" From now on, there is no threat to the main palace! ”

Even if Concubine Xi likes to show off, she still remembers that some words cannot be said, and if she can be vague, she must be vague, especially when it comes to that person.

This also made Pan'er a little confused, what did her master understand, what did he understand?

However, even if she is curious, she also remembers that there are some things that the master does not say, and she, who is a slave, it is better not to know.

Moreover, as long as she understands that this matter makes her master happy, then she just needs to pat her master's ass.

"Niangniang is smart, she can figure out such a good thing, Pan'er is here to congratulate Niangniang!"

Concubine Xi heard Pan'er's somewhat barren compliments, and her heart was both happy and a little dissatisfied.

Alas, it's a pity, thinking about it, she glanced at Pan'er and said secretly: I still don't know how to speak.

She is so wise, and since the harem is no longer a threat to her, her son will be a big winner in the future...... So much beauty in the future belongs to her and Hongli, just such a simple compliment, it is too much to pick up.

It's a pity that she can only be secretly happy in this small room now, and she can't show off, otherwise, more people will congratulate her.

Concubine Xi, who was a little depressed, only felt that her stomach was getting more and more uncomfortable, she picked up the tea cup and continued to drink the hawthorn tea in the cup in a few sips.

Pan'er didn't need Concubine Xi's signal, she took the tea cup in Concubine Xi's hand with a very good look, and then refilled a hawthorn tea for Concubine Xi, and then handed it back to Concubine Xi.

When Concubine Xi took the teacup again, a eunuch walked in, and then greeted Concubine Xi with a salute.

"Get up!" Concubine Xi didn't put down the teacup in her hand, and asked in a lazy voice, "What's the matter?" ”

The eunuch Liu An replied respectfully: "Niangniang, the news just came that Gonggong Zhang in front of the emperor took a few little eunuchs to Yikun Palace with the emperor's edict and rewards......

"What! How can it be? Concubine Xi interrupted Liu An's hungry reply in shock, and at the same time, her hand shook, and the hawthorn tea in her hand was almost shaken out.

She frowned, didn't the emperor refuse to let the stand-in of the Nian slut sleep last night, why did he suddenly reward that slut again.

Liu An lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and immediately restrained his sense of existence, for fear that Concubine Xi would be angry at him, the person who reported the situation.

Concubine Xi pursed her lips for a long time, and she was very angry that Yuyao was rewarded by the emperor, and the anger in her heart has always been very strong.

Speaking of which, Yu Yao's new entry into the palace has nothing to do with Concubine Xi, even if because Concubine Xi hates that the new concubines in the palace will share her favor, but her attitude towards Yu Yao and other new concubines in the palace is still very different.

She hates Yuyao more about the house and Wu, she herself is a person who likes to enjoy, likes to be flattered by others, likes pomp and grandeur.

And when Nian's was still there, she had always been pressed by Nian's, whether it was the emperor's favor, or her status, or even other people's praise, she always stepped on her to praise Nian's, and she was always unwilling to be jealous.

Now, Nian's is finally gone, and there is a stand-in for Xiao Ninian's slut, which immediately awakens her jealousy that has fallen silent with Nian's death.

On the side, Pan'er looked at Concubine Xi who was on fire, and she stopped talking.

In the end, gritting her teeth, in order for Concubine Xi to value her more, not to be caught up with her by others or even to overtake her status, she gambled.

"Niangniang, you are angry, how can this Guerjia nobleman's temporary pride compare to your pride in the future."

Concubine Xi looked at Pan'er and seemed to understand something, but due to the influence of her emotions, she couldn't calm down for a while.

Pan'er saw that Concubine Xi still didn't understand, and continued: "When you took a nap before, didn't you understand one thing, one thing that is best for you!" From now on, the harem will no longer be a threat to you! ”

When she said the last sentence, Pan'er deliberately approached Concubine Xi and whispered.

Concubine Xi suddenly realized, and finally showed a smiling face, "Yes, you are right!" ”

Liu An didn't know what dumb riddle was played between Concubine Xi and Pan'er, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart, because he hadn't finished his words yet.

"Mother, mother, the minion's words are not finished yet." The tone of his voice was a little apprehensive.

When Concubine Xi heard this, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

What a damn one! Pan'er couldn't help but curse Liu An in her heart, and she didn't finish her reply quickly, her words to appease her master wouldn't be in vain, right?

Thinking about it, her eyes were like needles, and she lowered her head and lowered her eyes densely, looking like an honest and respectful Liu An.

"Say, what else?" Concubine Xi blushed and said with some displeasure.

Liu An: "The saint also announced the burial of the nobles of Guerjia tonight. ”

"Impossible!" Concubine Xi Huo stood up, and the teacup in her hand was finally shaken off by her shock, and it shook off most of the tea, and shook it to herself.

But at this time, Concubine Xi couldn't take care of it, she muttered: "This is impossible, isn't it impossible for the emperor?" ”
