Shen Wan said: "If her 'staff' came up with this series of schemes for her-first push me into the water to blame Concubine Qing, and then let the Queen Mother punish me-but, why bother to burn me to death?" Even if as the emperor said, she wants to get rid of me by the hand of the queen mother, but she already has the eldest son of the emperor, and I am still a little palace maid, and it is not me who has the most serious conflict with her! Moreover, with Pei Zhaoyi's ability, why would people catch it? Such a clumsy technique, as if deliberately trying to expose her. ”

After thinking about it, she really didn't make sense, so she said: "Now that Concubine Pei is being used as Zhaoyi, everything she has done has been wasted, so the person who gave her advice is definitely not her 'staff'." ”

"Absolutely not!"

The two fell silent, at this time a wind blew, and a circle of wind hair on Shen Wan's small jacket collar was blown by the wind and stroked her face, she raised her hand and stroked it, and continued: "Now Concubine Qing and Pei Zhaoyi have been frustrated, but in the end it is I who benefits." ”

Xi Chao said: "In just a few days, you will die for a lifetime, either the water is deep or the fire is hot, and you can say that you will benefit!" ”

Shen Wan smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "That's it, it seems that I have met an opponent, this person can play with me, Concubine Qing and Pei Zhaoyi, it seems that I have to fight with twelve points of spirit to deal with it." ”

Xi Chao sighed and said: "There are many rights and wrongs in the harem, I know that you will not agree to persuade you to stop, but you must protect yourself." If it comes to a critical juncture, don't care about any etiquette, just let people go out of the palace to find me. ”

Shen Wan held Xi Chao's hand, pinched his palm, and said, "Next month, the show girls will enter the palace, and about fifteen will be selected this time, and at that time, you will make a detailed list of the selected little lords and family backgrounds for me,"

Xichao didn't ask why, only agreed.

Shen Wan smiled gratefully and said, "Twelve, I know that you are sincere for me, and you don't ask me what to do, but you help me without hesitation." ”

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he said: "As long as it is what you want to do, I will not stubbornly oppose you, I just want you to live well, and like before, you are not afraid of heaven and earth, you can do whatever you want, for this, even if I am not the prince anymore, even if I want my life......"

Shen Wan hurriedly covered his mouth and said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Xi Chao put his hand on her hand, Shen Wan lowered her eyes, and Xi Chao said: "Okay, I don't say I want my life, I keep my life, so that you can fulfill your wish." ”

Shen Wan was sad, gritted her teeth, met his bright eyes, the pain in her heart sank all the way, she couldn't bear the sadness, and smiled slowly at him, her cheeks were crimson, and the pear vortex was shallow, just making people feel that the years were quiet.

The time didn't dare to drag on too long, so the two said goodbye and went back separately.

A few days later is the Flower Dynasty, that day happened to be the birthday of Cao Ronghua's daughter, although the child has no title now, but there are few children in the palace, the emperor has to take care of it, so he took advantage of that day to celebrate the child's birthday.

The banquet place is set in the drinking green pavilion of Qinchun Garden, there are several apricot blossoms in Qinchun Garden, there are not many apricot blossoms planted, but when it is in full bloom, the rouge is ten thousand points, the posture is delicate, at this time the peach blossoms are budding to be released, to can also occupy the spring breeze, and a few other spring orchids are also good, the first emperor has a favorite concubine who loves orchids, and there are more planted ones, and there are Ruixiang flowers, primroses and so on. Red, white, or purple, clusters compete to open.

In addition to the emperor this time, there are only Concubine Qing, Xia Zhaoyi, Cao Ronghua and another Fang Jieyu.

The Queen Mother doesn't know if it's because of the fire in Siguotang, she is cold to these disputes in the harem, and her body seems to be unhappy, and she is now taking medicine.

Pei Zhaoyi was grounded and still not allowed to be released.

But looking at the emperor's meaning, it will be difficult for Concubine Qing to be alone in the draft next month, and Pei Zhaoyi was also released at that time, but I am afraid that we will be together on the board.

"My harem lacks a queen, and it's really inconvenient." Xichen didn't seem to have intended to say it that day, although Shen Wan's face was calm when she heard it, she was worried in the end.

The concubines have arrived at the Drinking Green Pavilion, and the royal drive of cherishing the dust is late.

Xichen did not take the shoulder, but walked with Shen Wan. Xichen is in front, Shen Wan is diagonally behind, and Xiaoshizi leads everyone to follow far behind.

Concubine Qing crossed the carved window lattice and saw the two of them like that, her heart was angry, and although her face did not appear, she still snorted coldly.

Cao Ronghua hurriedly asked, "Sister Qingfei, what's wrong?" ”

Concubine Qing replied, "Nothing! "The sun kept looking out the window.

Xia Zhaoyi and the others saw that the emperor was coming, and hurriedly went out to greet them.

Xichen smiled gently, helped him up, and said, "Get up, today is a family banquet." ”

Everyone got up and sat down with Xichen in their arms, the nurse took the little emperor out, Xichen took it and hugged it, Cao Ronghua showed a happy smile on his face.

Shen Wan looked at the child, who was only two years old, wrapped in a snow-white coat like a powdery ball, her eyes were shining like two black grapes, her eyes were rolling around, and finally fell on Shen Wan.

Although Emperor Ji was hugged by Xichen, she was very dishonest and reached out to grab Shen Wan behind Xichen.

Everyone paid attention to Xiao Diji's movements, and when they saw her grab the jade Ruyi in Shen Wan's hand, they all laughed.
