After lunch, Xia Lu pulled Xia Xue to play chess, and during this time in the palace, Xia Lu was really suffocated.

Xia Xue didn't say anything, just accompanied Xia Lu.

Jiang Baolin was very interested in not disturbing the two-person world of their sisters, and went back to the room directly.

Before returning to the room, he bowed to Xia Xue while Xia Lu was not paying attention.

Xia Xue smiled softly and turned around.

Early the next morning, Xia Lu was going to take Xia Xue to greet Concubine Ying.

Xia Xue insisted that she would go again after their concubines asked for peace.

When the concubine asked for peace, Concubine Ying asked, "Xia Meiren, I saw that Mrs. Chu handed over the post, and she wants to stay in the palace for a few days, but I don't know if I can come?" ”

"It's already here, Mrs. Chu said that after we say goodbye, I'll come to see Niangniang."

"Mrs. Chu has always had a strong sense of rules, but she has also seen something out of the ordinary." Although Concubine Ying said this, she was full of smiles.

Wei Chongyuan was not idle, "In the past, this Mrs. Chu was not very famous, but since this famous Miss Li Jiasan in the capital was planted in her hands, her fame has increased day by day." I heard that a few days ago, Hong Liangdi also suffered a loss. ”

When Hong Liangdi heard that she was mentioned, her face turned red and she looked at Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong was calm and relaxed, and she didn't hear it at all.

"You ---" Xia Lu gritted her teeth, not knowing how to refute, Li Huanting chuckled, "Sister Chongyuan always has to be unforgiving, and the third sister of the concubine is also of this temperament, so it's a big loss." ”

"You? Licentious! Dare to compare your third sister with this palace, what kind of thing is she? ”

"It was Wei Chongyuan who first mentioned our Li family's children, why is the Li family in decline now, and it makes a Chongyuan laugh if he wants to?" Concubine Rong, who had not spoken, spoke lightly, with obvious displeasure in her tone.

"I ---" Wei Chongyuan gritted her teeth, no matter how Concubine Rong was not favored, her concubine was there, she was annoyed, and she couldn't get any cheapness.

"It's the concubine who is more than raised." Wei Chongyuan held back for a long time and held back such a sentence.

Li Huanting nodded at Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong ignored it and continued to drink her tea.

Concubine Ying had enough of watching the play, so she said, "Everyone disperse." ”

When Xia Lu returned to the pear orchard, Xia Xue was still reading.

"Sister, I thought you were waiting outside the Ying Concubine Palace."

"Why?"

Xia Lu was stunned for a moment, "What why?" ”

"Why am I waiting outside the Ying Concubine Palace?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that you would go after the concubine invited you?"

Xia Xue smiled, "Then I'll go in the afternoon and go in the evening, aren't they all concubines?" ”

Xia Lu scratched her head, "yes." So when are we going? ”

"After lunch, it's me, not us."

Xia Lu was a little puzzled, but didn't ask.

"But Concubine Ying asked you just now, let's, no, isn't it good for my sister to go too late?"

"Nothing bad. The interaction between people lies in the equality of identity, although Concubine Ying is the concubine with the highest rank, and she is a monarch to me, but the Chu family of the Xia family is the emperor's right-hand man, and she is a heavy minister for the emperor, and it must be heavier than any concubine, so my sister is heavy for Concubine Ying. If you go early, you lose your identity. ”

Xia Lu didn't seem to understand, "Then why can't I go together?" ”

"As a concubine, you have already been there in the morning, and if you go again, in what capacity? Remember, you have only one identity, that is, the emperor's concubine, at any time, remember this, and you will not be criticized. ”

Xia Lu sighed, "Sister, you are still powerful, if you enter the palace, you must be even more powerful than Concubine Ying." ”

Xia Xue shook her head, "Why does my sister want to enter the palace?" Isn't it good to enjoy the exclusive favor of the master? ”

Xia Lu pouted, it's naturally good to be alone, but how many people in the world can have such a blessing as their sister.

Xia Xue had lunch leisurely, took a nap, and it was almost dusk, so she slowly set off to Concubine Ying's bedroom.

Concubine Ying was very enthusiastic, saying that after the concubines left in the morning, they had been waiting for Xia Xue.

Xia Xue pretended to say a few words, saying that she was afraid that Concubine Ying would be tired, and she would wait for the mother to rest enough before she came to bother.

Concubine Ying is also a smart person, so naturally she doesn't care about these, and she will naturally understand what is going on with each other in their hearts.

Concubine Ying also mentioned by the way that last time Hong Liangdi troubled Xia Lu, she helped.

Xia Xue naturally followed her words and was grateful.

Concubine Ying knew that Xia Xue had already known.

Xia Xue knew what Concubine Ying meant.

That's enough.

Smart people don't have to know everything too clearly.

For the next few days, there was nothing special about the palace.

I heard that Hong Liangdi took the soup to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor, and was driven back.

I also heard that Hong Liangdi was blocking the royal car in the imperial garden, and the emperor was so angry that he didn't go to the imperial garden for three days.

This is the seventh day that Xia Xue has entered the palace, and Jiang Baolin, who has been holding in the room for the past few days, finally came out to have lunch with Xia Xue and Xia Lu.

This is also the second time they have shared lunch.

Jiang Baolin has not gone out for the past six days, Xia Lu thought that Jiang Baolin was giving their sisters time to be alone, but Xia Xue knew that Jiang Baolin was digesting what she said that day.

"This Hong Liangdi is really thick-skinned, the emperor made it clear that he didn't want to see her, and she persevered with all kinds of thoughts." Xia Lu ate the coconut cake and said angrily. "It's not more than three things, if there is a third time, the emperor will punish her."

Xia Xue shook her head, "It's just three things, if there is a third time, Hong Liangdi will definitely return to favor." ”

Xia Lu raised her eyebrows, "Why?" ”

"If it is a person that the emperor dislikes, you don't have to wait for the third time, you will be punished once, for Hong Liangdi's invitation, the emperor did not punish the first time, and the second time he was not punished, what does it mean?" Xia Xue said lightly.

"The emperor is reluctant." Jiang Baolin answered coldly.

"At least for now. So ---"

"So you must not give Hong Liangdi a third chance." Jiang Baolin continued.

Xia Xue glanced at her appreciatively, and being able to say this showed that she not only fully understood what she meant, but also knew what she was going to do.

Xia Lu was confused, looking at the two people as if they were dumbfounded.

"Are you talking Da'an? Why can't I understand? ”

"You, eat more, that's right." Xia Xue said and sandwiched another piece of coconut cake for Xia Lu.

Xia Lu pouted and stuffed it into her mouth.

In the afternoon, Chu Zhenxuan came and asked Xia Xue when she would go home, and Xia Xue said that it would be two or three days.

Chu Zhenxuan stayed for an hour and left the palace before the palace gate closed.

It was getting dark, and a bright moon crept into the night sky.

Xia Lu wanted to ask Jiang Baolin to play chess, but was stopped by Xia Xue.

"After lunch, Jiang Baolin said she wanted to rest." Summer Snow Road.

"I've had so many days off."

"You know the wear and tear of her body."

"Okay, but I'd better let my father have time to show her, I'm afraid that it will leave the root of the disease."

"Without summoning and reporting, the imperial doctor can't see the concubine casually. Don't make trouble for your father. Xia Xue instructed.

"Well, I just think about this, so I haven't dared to invite my father, I always have to avoid suspicion, and the concubines in the palace are not happy to see who is with whom." Xia Lu said.

"Since you understand, you have to know that you can't get too close to anyone, really good friends, know each other in your heart, and at the critical moment, it may be able to save your life, usually the hole cards are exposed, who will deal with Jiang Baolin one day, and I promise to start with you."

I thought I would scare Xia Lu casually, but I didn't know that a word would be a proverb.
