Chapter 381: Friend or Foe
Hearing Qiao Xi's voice, Zhong Ling pushed the door in, and the green pothos, who was still full of yearning, suddenly became panicked again, and hurriedly got up and saluted Zhong Ling: "Niangniang......"
Zhong Ling pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit down: "Oh, the most annoying thing in my palace is that you are a mother, Niangniang, you are not injured yet, these vain things will be spared." ”
"This ......" Luluo was a little confused for a while, and unconsciously raised her eyes to look at Qiaoxi who was the same status as herself, only to see her nodding at herself with a smile and agreeing with Zhong Ling's words.
Only then did the green pothos reluctantly respond: "The slave understands, thank you Niangniang." ”
It seems that Zhong Ling said it in vain, but this girl still doesn't understand.
That's it, after all, people have been abiding by the rules in the palace for so many years, and it is indeed difficult for some strong people to relax their guard overnight, Zhong Ling simply stopped forcing it, and it will be a long time to return.
"Okay, you can live here with peace of mind, if you don't understand or are not used to it, just ask Qiaoxi." Zhong Ling regarded the green pothos as a younger sister, and when she first entered the East Palace, she felt a completely different atmosphere from the Qinghui Palace, but the stronger this feeling, the more uneasy she became.
At night, there was a terrible cry of a tanuki outside the small courtyard of the East Palace, like a cold sword piercing straight into the heart of the already panicked green pothos.
Luthos suddenly sat up from the bed in shock, and instantly seemed to react to something, and hurriedly looked to the side, seeing that Qiaoxi was still sleeping peacefully, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Qiao Xi's sleeping appearance made Lu Luo marvel, she really couldn't imagine how people in the harem could achieve a good night's sleep, at least she was worried all day and night all the years she had been in the palace.
"Meow~" The civet cat's cry sounded again, as if urging something, others may not be able to hear it, but the pothos definitely knows it.
I saw the pothos carefully climb down from the bed, tiptoe open the door and go out, and as soon as she turned around, she bumped into the green ink eyes, which looked extremely terrifying under the dark moon and high wind.
Qingqing is the most conscientious dog leg around Concubine Min, how many concubines were killed before were the result of her advice in front of Concubine Min, seeing her coming, Green Pothos didn't have to think about it to know that it must be Concubine Min's meaning.
"Come here." Qingqing tried her best to keep her voice low, but she still couldn't cover the domineering in her tone, it was just the same as Concubine Min, she was really a good dog.
Green pothos was dragged by Qingqing to a corner, Qingqing threw her away, and squeezed her out of her with no one in her eyes: "I really don't know how Niangniang would give you such a heavy responsibility." ”
It seems that this Qingqing is just a paper tiger who is strong on the outside, and seeing that the green pothos was jointly kissed by the Empress Dowager and Concubine Min, she is probably worried that she will be replaced one day.
When Concubine Min bullied Pothos in Qinghui Hall on weekdays, this Qingqing also fanned the flames in front of her, so although Concubine Min was not there, the panic in Luluo's heart did not decrease at all.
has complained and complained, no matter how powerful Qingqing is, she is just a slave, what can she do with the master's decision?
"Let me ask you, how is the matter explained by the mother?" Qingqing looked aggressive, staring at the pothos so uncomfortable.
"Back to my sister, Luluo has only been in the East Palace for half a day, and I haven't had a chance to talk to the queen mother."
Luthos looked like she was waiting to be criticized, but Qingqing unconsciously snickered: I knew that you were just like this, and Niangniang would understand sooner or later that only I was her most powerful assistant.
Thinking about it this way, Qingqing was also sent by Concubine Min to inquire about the situation after all, and she always had to pay a business when she went back, didn't she?
Qingqing immediately retracted the villain's proud face, and scolded Luluo angrily: "Waste, the loss of the mother looks up to you so much and entrusts you with important responsibilities, is this how you do things?" But don't forget, your mother and your blind brother are still taking care of them thanks to their mother. ”
Look after? This is clearly a threat.
Only then did the pothos sigh: "The pothos understands, my sister can rest assured, the pothos will complete the things that the mother explained as soon as possible." ”
"It's pretty much that, go back quickly, don't be found clumsy." Qingqing looks like a master, and she is really a dog.
Only then did the pothos tiptoe back to the room, looking at Qiaoxi sleeping beside her, she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Qiao Xi opened her eyes and disappeared from the pothos beside her, she hurriedly got up to look for it: "Pothos, pothos." ”
"My sister is up." The voice of the green pothos came from behind Qiao Xi, and she saw that she was holding the boiled water in her hand, as if she was going to go towards the main hall.
The newcomer is naturally pleasing to be diligent, but the rules of the East Palace are really different from other places, Qiao Xi hurriedly stepped forward to stop the green pothos: "Where are you going to take these so early." ”
Luthos was confused: "Naturally, I went to the main hall, don't you have to help my mother freshen up?" ”
Hearing this, Qiao Xi hurriedly snatched the water basin from the pothos' hand and put it on the ground, and then told her, "Don't go over." "Single
"Why?"
"Oh, our mother is good at everything, but her temper is occasionally short-tempered, in her own words, this is called ...... Oh, wake up, yes! So don't disturb her sleep. ”
The green pothos listened in the clouds: "But it's time now." ”
"You don't understand, the mother won't get up if she doesn't sleep until the sun rises." Qiao Xi still looked triumphant when she said this, and she didn't know who gave her the courage to be so dark outside.
Sure enough, bad words should never be said in other people's territory, and before Qiao Xi was stunned for a while, she saw a trace of panic flash in her green pothos eyes, and then leaned down: "The slave has seen Niangniang." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Xi was so frightened that the hairs on her body stood up, and after brewing for a while, she quickly turned back with a stiff smile on her face.
"Hey, hey, Niangniang, why did you get up so early today, Your Majesty told not to disturb Niangniang's rest, slave maid will leave here, leave here."
Qiao Xi said while trying to escape from the scene of the overturn, but was pulled back by Zhong Ling mercilessly by the collar: "Go? Where are you going, don't wait for the palace to freshen up? I still have to wait until the sun rises to come again! ”
With this familiar line, Qiao Xi almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and she hurriedly turned around again: "Niang Niang forgives her sins, the slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave and maid will never dare to do it again in the future." ”
Zhong Ling was just talking about playing, but seeing that Qiaoxi was more obedient, she naturally wouldn't bother with her, so she immediately let go of her hand: "Okay, okay, you mouth, don't take our pothos to ruin." ”
Zhong Ling said as he walked towards the green pothos who was watching the play on the side, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her.
"Okay, don't pestle outside, it's embarrassing, let's go inside."
Zhong Ling led the two girls into the door, Qiaoxi was familiar with Zhong Ling's habits, and made the bed on the side, and the pothos looked gentle and well-behaved, so she stayed by her side to tie her hair.
Since entering the palace, he doesn't have to worry about eating, dressing up, and even bathing has someone waiting for him, Zhong Ling feels that he is almost exhausted.
"Hey Qiaoxi, did you hear the cat bark last night, it's noisy." Zhong Ling was bored, and while playing with the hairpin, he asked Qiaoxi who was making the bed.
Before Qiaoxi could respond, he only heard a crisp sound, and when Zhong Ling looked in the direction of the sound, a fine mutton fat white hosta had broken to the ground.
Green pothos was suddenly startled, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhong Ling: "Niangniang forgive your sins, and the slave should die." ”
Zhong Ling didn't pay much attention to these ornaments, and after entering the palace, this kind of thing was piled up, so naturally he didn't feel unusual.
"Hey, isn't it just a hairpin, if it's broken, it's broken, what can't die, it's not not, get up." Zhong Lingyun said lightly, and then pulled the green pothos up.
Although the green pothos was still frightened, she couldn't help but be moved, if this was changed to Qinghui Palace, let alone such a precious hosta, she would be beaten and kicked if she accidentally sprinkled a drop of water on the ground.
In contrast, the pothos felt that she had met a nobleman, and tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhong Ling suddenly panicked, she had always been most afraid of the little girl shedding tears.
"Oh, what's wrong, why are you still crying, I don't blame you." Zhong Ling frowned slightly, looking at the pothos with distress in his eyes.
Only then did the green pothos choke back tears and shook her head: "The slave is fine, the slave just thinks ...... It's so nice. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud: "So you were thinking about this, okay, okay, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the past, follow me in the future, and you will eat and drink spicy food." ”
Zhong Ling started again, he was also from the General's Mansion anyway, why did he have to make himself look like a gangster.
As the two were talking, Qiao Xi hurriedly came over after making the bed, and before Zhong Ling could say anything, she had already consciously leaned down to clean up the residual jade on the ground.
Green Pothos was flattered, and hurriedly squatted down: "Sister, I broke the things, or I'll clean it up." ”
"Oh, it's okay, you just chat with your mother, it's rare that your mother likes you, I'm different, I'm disgusted and annoyed by my mother every day." When Qiao Xi said this, she unconsciously showed a grimace at Zhong Ling, looking so unruly.
Zhong Ling suddenly lost his temper: "Hey, you girl, I treat you too well on weekdays, right, you have learned to ridicule me, it's really for you." ”
"The slave knows what is wrong." Qiao Xi smiled and pretended to admit her mistake to Zhong Ling, she was used to this, Zhong Ling didn't care, and then waved her hand with disgust: "Go, go, hurry up and clean up, the little girl's family is so naughty, beware that she can't marry in the future." ”
"If Qiaoxi can't get married, she will pester her mother for the rest of her life, and she will bother her mother like this every day." Qiao Xi played a little trick on Zhong Ling with a smug face, and then left with a smile.
