13: Jealousy

The show girls who were selected to stay trained hard every day, gearing up for their hands, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just hoping to show their strengths in front of the saint, Xu Yourong also went out early and returned late every day, and basically couldn't see her.

Since Yin Xiaoxi supported her in the Moon Wheel Palace, her treatment in the Moon Wheel Palace has also been greatly improved, and all the show girls are also very attentive, and even the grandmother has become a lot more polite.

But she didn't care much about this, she just practiced her voice and wanted to show off her singing voice on the day of the audition.

She understands that in this deep palace, even if Yin Xiaoxi covers her for the rest of her life, she can't live under her shade all the time, and she has to be strong enough to be the most solid support behind her when Yin Xiaoxi needs it.

I have nothing to do all day, except for eating and sleeping, I am really bored, I thought that every day in the deep palace should be thrilling and miserable, who would have thought that boredom and loneliness would be one step ahead of others to strangle her.

Yin Xiaoxi ordered someone to set up a fragrant wood red table in the pavilion, and set up a few chairs made of rattan, put some snacks, a cup of tea, and a book brought out from the house at that time, and drank tea and read books comfortably.

Looking from the pavilion, a large area of yellow walls and red tiles, pavilions and pavilions are staggered, and it looks particularly grand. The people in the palace seem to be very busy, coming and going, shuttling through the corridors, only they are as idle as a waste.

I used to work overtime every day when I went to work, and it was late at night when I got home, and I fell asleep when I got out of bed, and then I wore it to the general's mansion, although I couldn't talk about fine clothes and food, but there were a lot of things for her to do every day, and every day was fulfilling.

I used to train every day in the Moon Wheel Palace, rising from sunrise to sunset, although it was hard, I also gained and improved every day.

Now that he has suddenly been promoted to a talented person, it is like those senior high school students who did not need to take the college entrance examination to send them to college, and they suddenly relaxed and were a little at a loss.

She can't always go on a graduation trip, and now in this palace, it's like being imprisoned, and it's not easy to go anywhere.

The lively bazaar outside the palace has nothing to do with him, thinking about the osmanthus wine in the Ruan family's wine shop, smelling the gluttonous worms in the stomach every day.

The sunset is gradually setting, a large area of the sky is dyed red in the west, a few lonely geese are fluttering their wings and flying, looking lonely, and the last sip of tea in the cup is being drunk, the emperor has to rush to come, Yin Xiaoxi did not notice, and still sat alone in the pavilion to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset.

Xiaocui wanted to report, but was stopped by the emperor, so she hid aside and watched the emperor slowly step up to the pavilion.

"How's it going today?"

Hearing this familiar and majestic voice, Yin Xiaoxi came back to his senses, got up and saluted the emperor, "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”

The emperor sat down by himself, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, "This tea is cold, why don't you ask someone to pour it again?" If there is someone who is not well served, tell me that I will change you to some clever ones. ”

Yin Xiaoxi sat back in the chair with the support of the emperor and shook his head, "No, they are all fine, but the concubines didn't call them because they didn't want to make trouble for them." Besides, herbal tea has a different flavor. ”

The emperor: "There are enough people in the palace?" Do you need to send some more people, I see that you have a few people, and you will not be able to wait, right? Didn't you even invite a sister to live with you? ”

Yin Xiaoxi looked at the emperor's face a little tired, it is estimated that he came here after being angry, and the concubines in the palace did not dare to give him anger, wishing that he would go to his palace. That's ......

"I don't know if the emperor is unhappy today, you can talk to the concubines, and let the concubines share one or two for Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand, looking chic, but he seemed a little lonely, this was the first time, and he felt a little pitiful for this high-ranking man.

The emperor sat for a while and then got up to leave, Yin Xiaoxi sent the emperor to the door of the Moon Pavilion, "Isn't the emperor having dinner with the concubines today?" The cooks and concubines sent by the emperor taste very good. ”

The emperor shook his head, and reached out to stroke Yin Xiaoxi's cheek, "I'll come to dinner with you another day." ”

After saying that, he really left......

At dinner, Xiao Cui, who was waiting beside her, said that she realized that she should go to the Empress Dowager Huici every morning to say goodbye, but she completely forgot this palace rule and woke up naturally from her sleep.

The emperor was severely reprimanded by the queen mother, saying that he spoiled such a little show girl too much, and it was already unfair to other show girls to be promoted to a talented girl, and he went to accompany her to breakfast early in the morning, which caused the dissatisfaction of the concubines in the harem.

Early in the morning, many concubines went to complain to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was also so irritated that she couldn't do it. I also have a disgust for this new talent, and I always feel that she is a goblin who confuses the saint and is a scourge.

In order to make the Queen Mother happy, the emperor sacrificed himself to accompany the Queen Mother all day, and only at dusk did he get a reason to leave.

Yin Xiaoxi had mixed feelings about this big remark. I didn't expect the emperor to protect her so much, obviously doing so much for her behind him, but he didn't say a word in front of her. It's because she is too light on the enemy, and she forgets that she is now in the harem with the most rights and wrongs in the whole universe, and she has to be nervous.

She understands that the emperor can only protect her for a while, if she continues to be so willful, one day he will get tired of her, he will be tired of her, and he will listen to the provocation of others, and he will no longer protect her.

Early the next morning, before the sky was completely bright, Xiaocui accompanied her to the Empress Dowager Huici's bedroom, Yikun Palace to ask for peace. When the two arrived, the Empress Dowager Huici had just gotten up, and Yin Xiaoxi ran over obediently to help the Empress Dowager freshen up.

Carrying the queen mother's long hair in her left hand, and holding a delicately carved peach wood comb in her right hand, from top to bottom, it is as gentle as a spring breeze. Combed the queen mother's face with satisfaction, and the smile never went away.

Even the grandmother standing on the side was a little surprised, although the queen mother is well maintained, but after all, she is old, and her hair quality is not as good as before, even she has combed the queen mother for so many years, and sometimes she will accidentally hurt the queen mother.

This talented person can be so careful, coaxing the Queen Mother to praise again and again.

After combing, he coiled his hair for the queen mother, selected exquisite hair accessories, and the two of them looked like their own mother and daughter, what a harmony. The Queen Mother also changed her ugly look after listening to the complaints of the concubines yesterday, and she already loved this Jingcai person in her heart.

When the concubines came to greet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was holding Yin Xiaoxi's hand tightly and did not let go, so that Mama moved a chair and put it beside her, which was good for her.

In the incense hall, the Empress Dowager Huici sat at the top with Jingcairen, and the concubines were sitting on both sides.

The first on the left is Concubine Xian, followed by the noble Liu who he met when he entered the palace before, and then there are several concubines who are also nobles who follow Concubine Xian.

The first one on the right is Concubine Hui, unlike Concubine Xian, the concubines sitting on Concubine Hui's side look much more kind, not so arrogant, and look more approachable.

But even so, Yin Xiaoxi didn't dare to stand in any team, she didn't want to join this complicated palace fight now, not to mention that these two people were not good at first glance, so they had to hide a little.

Yesterday, all the concubines worked together and told her all kinds of disrespect and informality in front of the Empress Dowager Huici, which provoked the Empress Dowager to be angry with the emperor.

Today, seeing that the Empress Dowager Huici was holding Yin Xiaoxi's hand, she didn't let go, and she had to sit next to the Empress Dowager alone, and she didn't say a word about her unfavorability.

After chatting and greeting a few words of homely greetings, Concubine Xian suddenly asked, "Queen Mother, in a few days it will be the second selection of the show girl, do you want to go and see it then?" The show girls who entered the palace this year are quite smart, and they all like it when they look at it. ”
