"Huh? Where's your mother? Seeing that chamomile was the only one in the hall to greet him, Xia Jingnian wondered.

"Back to the emperor, Niangniang went to the Beauty Pavilion and talked to the two Jieyu." Chamomile knelt on the ground and bowed her head in reply.

She just returned to the palace, and she was a little bored when she stayed in her palace occasionally, and she should go out to chat with the concubines, this Xia Jingnian naturally understood, nodded and said: "I know, then I will go to the Beauty Pavilion to find her." ”

Beauty Pavilion.

Ji Qiang and Zhou Jieyu Zhang Jieyu are not familiar with each other, and they have just returned to the palace, and they know too much about what Zhou Jieyu said about the things in the palace, and Zhang Jieyu next to her is a person who has few words, so she is just sitting here listening to her talk to herself.

I thought that I had been here for a long time, and if I stayed here any longer, I was afraid that this week Jieyu would say that her mouth would be dry, so after thinking about it, she took advantage of Zhou Jieyu's efforts to drink tea and moisten her throat and said: "It's not early, I'll go back first." ”

Zhou Jieyu hurriedly put down the tea cup in her hand and left the guest: "Niangniang just came over and is leaving?" Stay a little longer, the concubine has a lot to say to her mother. ”

Ji Qiang smiled bitterly, the taste of having nothing to say is really difficult......

Before she could refuse, outside the palace, her father-in-law's announcement came, "The emperor has arrived in ......"

Ji Qiang's face changed, she didn't want to see Xia Jingnian yet. However, Zhou Jieyu and Zhang Jieyu next to them were happy, especially Zhou Jieyu, who was even more excited, "The emperor is here." ”

The three of them said hello to Xia Jingnian, who stepped into the palace gate, "Hello to the emperor." ”

Xia Jingnian hummed lightly, "Get up." Having said that, he just picked Ji Qiang up from the ground, and took her hand and sat on the seat together.

"Why did the emperor move over?" As soon as Zhou Jieyu asked this, Zhang Jieyu sighed helplessly, can't you see this? Of course you're looking for your mother?

Xia Jingnian didn't say anything, just looked back at Ji Qiang deeply, "Haven't you gone back to the palace to rest for so long?" ”

"Just as I was leaving, the emperor came." Ji Qiang avoided Xia Jingnian's eyes and said lightly.

"Then I'll go back with you." Xia Jingnian said, took Ji Qiang's hand, turned his head and left, not even giving a look to the two Jieyu in the hall.

Zhou Jieyu behind her just wanted to open her mouth to keep someone, but was pulled by Zhang Jieyu. At this time, you can't let her speak casually, so as not to annoy the emperor.

Looking at the back of the two of them leaving hand in hand, Zhang Jieyu sighed in her heart, this cold-hearted emperor Xia Jingnian actually has a time when he can be tempted.

From the time Xia Jingnian entered the hall to the time he left, his eyes never left Ji Qiang, and he didn't even give the two of them a look.

It seems that this woman who lives in the emperor's heart, no matter how much they compete for favor, they will not compete for her.

That being the case, it is better to protect oneself in this palace, not to seek much wealth and wealth, but to leave a life in this palace, to survive and live for the rest of his life.

Fengluan Palace, after Xia Jingnian and Ji Qiang went back, they thought for a long time, and then Xia Jingnian said: "What happened before, maybe I misunderstood you." I've thought about it, if you and that Mu Sheng really had a personal relationship, they would never meet in a place like the Imperial Garden. This is a bit suspicious, and I will order someone to investigate. "Kiss

Seeing that Xia Jingnian was relieved, Ji Qiang was not hypocritical, "It's good that the emperor knows, I hope that in the future, the emperor will not be bewitched by those rumors and rumors, and believe in the concubines." ”

Xia Jingnian took Ji Qiang's hand and shook it vigorously, but he didn't speak.

It is said that the emperor is suspicious, Ji Qiang didn't think it before, but this time Ji Qiang realized it.

The mustard that Xia Jingnian had just eliminated was surging back to his heart in a blink of an eye.

On this night, it was Xia Jingnian who stayed in the Fengluan Palace.

Since Ji Qiang came back, Xia Jingnian has been accompanied by Ji Qiang for eight out of ten days, but fortunately, there are only two Jieyu in Xia Jingnian's palace, and there will not be many people in the harem, and they will be jealous and cause trouble.

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Qiang had just had breakfast when she heard Xi'er report that Zhang Jieyu was coming.

Zhang Jieyu seemed to have come behind Zhou Jieyu's back, and even entered the door quietly, seeing Ji Qiang saluting first, and then asking Ji Qiang to retreat left and right, then knelt down again, and began to say: "Ask Niangniang to give the concubine a way to live." ”

This brainless remark made Ji Qiang frown slightly, first helped her up, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Jieyu lowered her head and didn't sit down, just stood in front of Ji Qiang, and said very sincerely: "Yesterday, the emperor came to the Beauty Pavilion, saying that he came to see the concubine and Zhou Jieyu, in fact, we all know in our hearts that it was to pick up the mother back to the palace." ”

"Niangniang's country is beautiful and fragrant, and it is incomparable to the concubines. The concubines know that they are not virtuous and talented, and they are not worthy of serving the emperor, and they know that the emperor only has Niangniang in his heart," said, Zhang Jieyu knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "The concubine does not ask the emperor to favor her, but she wants to keep a life in this palace." The concubine swore that she would not be jealous and troublesome her mother. ”

Ji Qiang did not regard Zhang Jieyu as an enemy in the harem, not to mention, Ji Qiang was like a mirror in her heart, Xia Jingnian was the only one in her heart now, and she was sure that she would be able to firmly grasp Xia Jingnian's heart in the future, and she would not worry that the people in the harem would compete for her favor.

Besides, what if it's a competition for favor? What about fighting for her? She doesn't have the heart to compete for favor. What is hers is hers, not hers, and she can't fight for it.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Jieyu panicked in her heart, and kowtowed on the ground again, "The concubine will definitely look forward to the mother and the horse, smear the ground for the mother's liver and brain, and serve the dogs and horses!" ”

Sure enough, all the women who can enter the harem are human spirits, and yesterday I felt that this Zhang Jieyu was a thoughtful person, but I didn't expect her to do it so much in order to protect herself.

If she really did it for herself, she was afraid that she would be an unfed wolf cub, and she would do everything to her, and save her life, and she would sell her in order to have a better backer, then she would lose more than she gained.

Ji Qiang didn't say anything, but stepped forward to help her up, "It's good, what do you say." You and I are both serving the emperor in the harem, of course, we want to help each other, and Zhou Jieyu, we are all the same. ”

"Yes, sissy." Zhang Jieyu got up with a smile on her face, but she was very puzzled in her heart.

What does this mean by non-committal? To say yes or not to agree?

With doubts, Zhang Jieyu left Fengluan Palace.

No matter how cautious Zhang Jieyu is, she is still known by Xia Jingnian. Xia Jingnian's side has been sending people to secretly protect Ji Qiang, for fear that Ji Qiang will make any mistakes again, and then her intestines will be repentant.
