After bidding farewell to the South Wing Mission, Alain was invited to her Harmony Palace by Concubine De.

Although Concubine De is in her forties, she has always been a woman who looks gentle and knowledgeable. In the palace, it is also known for being low-key and kind. Today's Concubine De Niangniang is wearing a light cyan gauze dress, with a white belt tied around her waist, and a trace of fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but she can't stop the beauty and elegance in her bones.

"Princess Xiling, sit."

Alain bowed slightly, then sat down. The maid served tea in a short time.

"It's been nearly three months since the princess returned to the capital, I don't know how she lives in this palace?" Concubine De had a faint smile on her face.

"Okay." Alain replied.

Concubine De was a little speechless for a while, and just as she spoke, Alan said: "Xi Ling knows that Concubine De is a smart person, and she has no conflict of interest with Xi Ling. There is no need to be so deliberate in simply showing favor, so please ask Concubine De to say something clearly. ”

Concubine De paused and said with a smile: "So smart." ”

"Xi Ling knew that Concubine De would not have any bad intentions, so she said this." Alan said, "In this case, it is more convenient to speak directly, presumably Concubine De has guessed enough over the years." ”

Concubine De laughed for a moment, and then said: "This palace has no children under her knees, only a few daughters. Daqi is weak, but sensible, and is also the most beloved one in this palace. Now that her sisters are married to different eunuchs, it is her turn again...... I don't know anything about the court, but I vaguely know that they are all struggling outside the palace. Daqi she, she hasn't been very familiar with people since she was a child, and now in the General's Mansion, it is difficult for the palace to visit her, it is really ......"

"General Tuhe has a neutral attitude towards all the princes, and now he is only loyal to his father. But it is inevitable that she will be stammered, and the position of the general is also remembered, so Concubine De Niangniang is worried that Daqi will be bullied and even cause trouble. Therefore, I want Xi Ling to take care of it. Alain didn't say a word, but told the cause and effect.

Concubine De was surprised, and then relieved: "That's right. ”

"Why me?" Alain asked curiously.

Concubine De took a deep breath and said slowly: "First, the princess is favored by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and she has the right to speak and status. The second is...... The princess and the princess have no brothers, and Daqi and the princess basically do not have any conflict of interest. ”

"Why would I help?" Alain then asked.

"Although Princess Xiling is deeply loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, after all, she has just entered the palace and has no backer in the harem. Although the princess moved out and lived in her own mansion, she didn't get married, and she couldn't get rid of the harem at all. The queen is indifferent, but the walls of this palace are too high, and sometimes they can block people's eyes and make people not see the danger around them. So the princess needs to have her own 'friends' in the palace. This palace is one of the four concubines, and this palace is willing to give you the weakness, and this palace can be your connection. ”

"Princess Daqi is really very important to Concubine De." Alain said.

"My daughters, it's all important to me." At this time, Concubine De did not use her own name, but spoke more like a mother, "I know that they were born in the royal family, and it is difficult to escape the fate of marriage, so I just hope that if they are simple and don't know anything, they can at least live happily." I will try to secure the safest courtiers and relatives for them, and minimize the damage that a possible coup d'état will cause to them in the future. But Daqi,"

Concubine De suddenly choked up: "Daqi her, she is too dangerous now." All I can do as a mother is to do my best to protect their lives. This is the promise I made when I gave them life. ”
