A back figure in the northeast corner of the courtyard caught her attention, and her face was not visible from behind, just calmly watering the flowers. The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were busy sweeping the courtyard, and their busy appearance was in stark contrast to the calmness of this back.

Why didn't she notice this figure last time? Just a glance, Xia Sihan remembered this person in his heart. As the palace maid walked in, Xia Sihan saw the figure behind the door, wearing a light blue palace dress, the room was very warm, and Murong Xue's face was a little pale.

"The women have seen Concubine Rong Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an."

Xia Sihan knelt down, and Murong Xue said lightly: "Get up, do you want to come here now to see how the palace is doing?" ”

Xia Sihan stood up and bowed down and said, "Niangniang misunderstood, the folk woman just came to report the planting situation to Niangniang, and it will be fine in another month." ”

"So fast? Hongu didn't expect the results to come so soon! Xia Sihan, what are your plans, do you really want to be an imperial merchant in this Chu country? ”

Xia Sihan said in a deep voice: "Niangniang can be a palace concubine here, and a folk woman can naturally be an imperial merchant here." is also a person from Murong Kingdom, even if Niangniang abandons her national surname, she is still the princess of Murong Kingdom in her bones, doesn't Niangniang want to gain a firm foothold in this palace in the future, and no one dares to bully? ”

Xia Sihan's words made Murong Xue feel strange, was this woman scared stupid, was this trying to win her over? But after thinking about it, with Xia Sihan's current situation, it seems that there is no other choice. Here they are all thorns in the side of the Chu people, calculated and despised by others. But there is one thing they can never ignore, and that is identity.

Murong Xue is a princess, and she is a princess, even if she abandons her surname, she is still a princess, and Xia Sihan is the daughter-in-law of King Ning, both of whom are noble people in Murong State, and they will not be despised when they arrive in Chu State.

Murong Xue and Xia Sihan both knew that with Beichen's scheming, he was definitely planning to use them in his heart and make them a weapon against Murong Guo.

Murong Xue looked at Xia Sihan and saw that she had a serious face, and to a certain extent, she already believed that what she said was true.

"Xia Sihan, do you know what you're talking about?"

Xia Sihan chuckled, "Concubine Rong is smart, she must understand what the people mean." The women just want to be safe and sound during the time they live in the Chu State, if they can find Jinyan, it will be fine, if they can't find it, they can earn some money and go back to explain to their mother-in-law. Women, it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone in this world, doesn't Niangniang think the same way? ”

After listening to what Xia Sihan said, Murong Xue was silent for a long time. In fact, what Xia Sihan said was not wrong at all, but there were too many pairs of eyes staring at her in this harem, and the slightest change would be discovered, and she didn't dare to take risks.

Seeing that Murong Xue was silent, Xia Sihan continued: "Niangniang, the crops planted by the women this time will definitely satisfy the emperor, so Niangniang can rest assured." As long as the people can become the imperial merchants, there is absolutely only good and no harm to the mother. ”

Xia Sihan's successive verbal temptations, Murong Xue was still tempted after all. Now that she is in the palace, there is almost no one to trust except for a powerful grandmother around her, if someone supports her outside the palace, it will be another way back for her.

Although Xia Sihan is her enemy, there is no eternal enemy in the world, at least for now, she can let go of her hatred and protect herself.

Murong Xue thought about it, the corners of her mouth raised, and she gave her a smile, Xia Sihan knew that her plan had succeeded.

Murong Xue was also secretly glad that in this way, in the future, she would have someone to help her inside and outside the palace, was she still afraid of falling out of favor?

Xia Sihan knew what she was doing, choosing Murong Xue was just an expedient measure, and when she got the talisman, Murong Xue would have nothing to do with her.

Xia Sihan stayed in Lingyun Palace for almost an hour before leaving, but when he came out, he didn't see the back in the courtyard. She wanted to ask, but she couldn't surprise the snake yet, so she had to give up.

The palace maid led her out, Xia Sihan took the opportunity to see the road here clearly, and if she had the opportunity, she could arrange for someone to come in and find the talisman.

Halfway through the line, Xia Sihan suddenly heard a sobbing sound from the corner. She couldn't help but stop, and the palace maid in front of her also heard it, frowning and said, "Who is there!" ”

The sobbing stopped abruptly, and then a palace maid about thirteen or fourteen years old came out of the grass, looking at the palace maid who was only the lowest in dress, and there were obvious slap marks on her face.

Xia Sihan understood as soon as he saw the situation, the palace of Chu was also highly hierarchical, and this girl must have been punished by her master.

"Slave, slave Qinghe, I've seen my sister."

The palace maid didn't know Xia Sihan's identity, so she naturally didn't know what to call her. It's just that Xia Sihan is dressed well, but he doesn't have the unique jade plate of the palace concubine, so he is not sure.

Seeing this, the palace maid in front of Xia Sihan waved her hand and asked her to retreat: "Don't bump into the nobles, you don't have any eyesight, how can you be an errand in the palace!" ”

"The slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave and the slave will retreat." The palace maid was frightened by this lesson, and her voice trembled when she spoke.

Xia Sihan couldn't bear to see her frightened face, and persuaded: "Forget it, she is also wronged in the deep palace and has nowhere to vent, just let her hide aside." ”

Then he said to the little palace maid: "You don't have to be afraid, I am not a nobleman." It's just that there are many people in the palace, and if you cry here because you are punished by your master, people will inevitably be heard. It's better to find a clean place, and if you figure it out, you'll be fine, and you will serve your master well in the future. ”

After Xia Sihan finished speaking, she signaled to the palace maid to leave, Qinghe looked at her from behind, recognized that the palace maid was from Lingyun Palace, and silently remembered it in her heart.

"Young Mrs. Li has a good heart, but I don't know how many people in the palace are punished every day, and many people lose their lives. Madame should not meddle with this matter in the future, lest she be looked down upon and harm her. ”

The palace maid's words also made sense, Xia Sihan thought that he had seen the punishment of palace people in the palace before. I sighed for a while, and actually said this to a little palace maid who met for the first time. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and followed the palace maid out of the palace gate.

Xiao Jiu was anxious to wait outside the door, she was very anxious every time Xia Sihan entered the palace, but this time Xia Sihan looked relaxed after she came out, so she was relieved.

"Dongjia, Concubine Rong didn't embarrass you, right?"

"No, if Murong Xue has a little brain, he should know that now is not the time to break with me. This is the State of Chu, although she is a concubine, she is also favored by the emperor and merchants, but after all, she is from the Murong State. There were no courtiers above the court who supported her, and there were no concubines in the harem who were loyal to her, and she couldn't find anyone who could help her except me. ”
