When Yanqiu woke up, she just felt that she had slept a little deeper, rubbed her sore neck, and was beckoned by Ye Xinyi to help her freshen up.

After freshening up, Lu'er brought a new dress, said that it was prepared by Concubine Xian, and served Ye Xinyi to put it on.

The clothes fit well, Ye Xinyi said that Concubine Xian was bothered, and she wanted to thank her in person.

So he took Yanqiu and Lu'er along the corridor and went to the main hall.

Seeing her, Concubine Xian was not much surprised, and said with a smile, "You haven't used breakfast yet, have you?" Just right, let's eat together? ”

Ye Xinyi's face was cramped, but he was a little flattered and responded. When he walked to Concubine Xian's side, he happened to smell a faint medicinal fragrance, which was not obvious and fleeting.

That taste...... Ye Xinyi frowned slightly almost imperceptibly, and glanced at Concubine Xian thoughtfully.

Cui Ying led people to put the food on the table, Concubine Xian and Ye Xinyi sat down separately, and Cui Ying laid vegetables on the side.

Ye Xinyi raised his eyes and looked at the breakfast on the table, all kinds of porridge and a few side dishes, although they are not complicated, but in the end, they are the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, and they look exquisite.

Seeing that she was just watching, but not moving her chopsticks, Concubine Xian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "What?" But not with the appetite? ”

"Not really. It's just that eating with a noble person like Niangniang is inevitably a little nervous, and Niangniang doesn't want to laugh at the courtiers. As he spoke, Ye Xinyi finally raised his chopsticks and put a crystal bun in the dish in front of him.

There seemed to be a moment of ridicule in Concubine Xian's eyes, and a faint smile on her face, "Mrs. Shen doesn't need to be nervous, this palace won't eat people." ”

"The mother laughed."

After eating and sleeping, the two of them stopped talking, and only buried their heads in their morning food.

Concubine Xian did a good job of the royal style, only ate three bites of each, and there was no more than a mouthful, but she hid her likes and dislikes to death.

After eating, Cui Ying took someone to clean up the bowls, and served refreshments to the two of them, and then all the idle people and others were separated, and she withdrew from the door and stood by the door. In the huge hall, in a blink of an eye, only Concubine Xian and Ye Xinyi were left.

"This is this year's pre-rain Longjing that the south pays tribute to, Mrs. Shen has a taste."

"Tea, the courtiers are not very good at tasting, but they also know that it is precious, but it falls in the mouths of the courtiers, it is inevitable that the cow chews the peony, I don't know the taste, but I still thank the lady for the hospitality." Ye Xinyi said, picked up the teacup and took a sip, tasted it, and then sighed, "Good tea!" ”

If there is really only one good word, there are many but no half words. Seeing this, Concubine Xian was stunned, but there was a little more smile in her eyes, "This is what Mrs. Shen is as she is, but she is also free and sincere." ”

When there were only the two of them left in this hall, Ye Xinyi simply took away all the cramped and childish disguises.

"I really can't taste this tea, but it is the incense in the palace of Niangniang, the taste is far away, the first smell is like immersing in the landscape, and then smelling like being in the forest, with a faint medicinal fragrance, the artistic conception is ethereal, making people forget their worries, but it is quite interesting, no wonder others say that the virtuous concubine Niangniang is good at incense, and the rumors are true."

The smile on the corner of Concubine Xian's mouth faded by two points, "It's just that I like to tease those spices in my spare time, and if you want to be good at this, it's not enough." Mrs. Shen said that she likes the fragrance of this palace, and if you talk about it properly today, you can go back to this palace and pack some for you. ”

Ye Xinyi pursed her lips and smiled, "Concubine Xian Niangniang is really a wise person who doesn't say dark words." ”

"Since Mrs. Shen doesn't pretend in front of the palace, she naturally wants to open the skylight with the palace and say something bright, wouldn't it be too hypocritical if the palace doesn't understand anymore? If Mrs. Shen has something to say, she might as well say it directly. Concubine Xian also saved the pretense of thinking of a snake, and her expression became cold.

"Since Concubine Xian Niangniang has said everything here, then I won't hide it." Ye Xinyi smiled and said with a straight expression, "Before I met Niangniang, I kept thinking about why Niangniang decided to stand on King Ning's side. ”

"Listen to you, you know now?" Concubine Xian snorted and asked rhetorically.

"As a concubine of His Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang is also one of the four concubines, but she is not as favored as Concubine Xie. The family is nothing but a declining family, with no real power in their hands, only an empty shelf. Niangniang has not shown herself over the years, although she does not compete for favor, but she also sits firmly in the position of the fourth concubine, which shows the means of Niangniang. It's just that Niangniang is no longer favored, and His Majesty is also Niangniang's husband, so she can let Niangniang give up her husband to help others, naturally because Niangniang has resentment and hatred in her heart. ”

Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes slightly, "Go on." ”

Ye Xinyi paused, and then said, "I thought of the death of Ying Guiren, the haunting of the palace, and the twists and turns of Princess Zhaoning's marriage. Until I met Niangniang, the branches that I couldn't figure out before could be connected in one place. Concubine Xian Niangniang hated not only His Majesty, but also Empress Chen and Concubine Xie, this hatred was too deep, and it was necessary to destroy everything they had to solve it. ”

"What could be the reason that you hate them to this point? Then I remembered that although the virtuous concubine had no heirs under her knees, she had been pregnant twice, and the first time, she had a miscarriage due to an accident after sitting firmly in less than three months. The next time, the child was saved, but it was stillborn until he was born. ”

Concubine Xian's face became ugly inch by inch with her words, but she was suddenly gone, and she became more and more sure that she had said the crux of the matter, took a deep breath, and continued, "If my guess is right, Concubine Xian's child...... It should be because of Empress Chen and Concubine Xie...... So if you hate them, you naturally hate Your Majesty for his inaction, like an accomplice. This hatred is in your heart, and over time, you are very patient, and you lie dormant, and no one finds out, and then you are taken by surprise and killed with one blow. ”

Concubine Xian looked at her and coldly hooked the corners of her lips, "You are really smart." Now that you have guessed everything, then you should know that this palace has come to this point, and it will definitely not let anyone stand in the way of this palace. ”

"Mother, you've done it! Empress Chen lost three sons in a row, and even missed the throne and the glory of the second half of her life, these two things alone were enough for her to live in pain. What's more, she is in the cold palace, and if she wants to make her feel bad, she just has to move her fingers. Concubine Xie has no heirs, only Princess Zhaoning, and her marriage is also mediocre, and in the future, Concubine Xie can imagine a bleak evening. As for Your Majesty...... The current situation is even more painful for him than killing him. Mother's Hatred...... It's been reported. ”

"So what?" Concubine Xian pulled her lips and sneered, looking at Ye Xinyi's eyes full of mockery.

"So, Concubine Xian, what else do you want, you might as well put forward your conditions. As long as Concubine Xian is on our side, then everything is easy to say. ”

"Your side? It seems that the Xia family is really going to turn around? Concubine Xian sneered.

Ye Xinyi frowned, "Isn't it King Ning's father and son who want to rebel?" Concubine Xian Niangniang should be very clear. ”
