Zhou Youchen's second choice of concubines after ascending the throne added four more newcomers to the deserted harem.

Their personalities are very different, their backgrounds are different, and the only thing they have in common is that they are all outstanding in appearance, and they are all rare beauties.

Now, the four of them are all royal maids with no position, and they can only temporarily live in Chuxiu Palace, once someone gets the emperor's favor, then, she will become the first person to be entitled.

Meng Xilan deliberately arranged them in one place, just to let them get acquainted with each other, in other words, to let them know the details of each other.

The opportunity is in front of her, Meng Xilan wants to take a look at who among them is the fastest? Who hides it?

As the lord of the six palaces, Meng Xilan naturally treats newcomers gently.

However, her "notoriety" has long spread, and she doesn't need to pretend to be kind, just show the tolerance and severity that she should have as a queen.

Xiao Chunzi came to Chuxiu Palace with the master's reward.

Silk and satin, jewelry, are some of the rewards of the scene.

Meng Xilan is impartial, one for everyone, no more, no less.

The queen mother personally rewarded the things, even if you don't like them, you have to accept them with a smile.

However, among the four, only Song Huaiyu had a faint expression.

Koharuko saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.

"The queen mother said that several little masters have been working hard to enter the palace recently. Therefore, I hope everyone has a good rest in these two days, and after three days, Niangniang will hold a banquet in Kunning Palace and invite the four little masters to enjoy the flowers and taste tea. ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions were different.

Meng Xilan, the queen's mother...... What kind of flower appreciation and tea drinking, it is clearly a Hongmen banquet.

After Koharuko left, the four of them looked at each other and went back to their respective places.

Before Wu Xue'er returned to the house, she heard Song Huaiyu on the other side and instructed the palace maids: "I don't need these rewards, you can take them." ”

She didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's words, but Song Huaiyu's words and deeds really made her care.

She deliberately stood in the doorway, paying attention to the voices on the other side.

"Little master, this is something that the queen has rewarded, and the slaves and maids dare not accept it." The palace ladies trembled with fright, as if she had said something she shouldn't have said.

Song Huaiyu said expressionlessly: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Since the queen has given me these things, then I am the owner of them, am I? ”

"Little master, that's right. But, that's the queen's mother. The slave did not dare to ...... Please let the little master spare ......"

Hasn't she heard of the rumors about the queen in this palace?

Song Huaiyu saw her a lot of nonsense, so she simply waved her hand: "That's it, since you don't want it, then put it away for me." ”

When Wu Xue'er heard this, she quietly returned to her room, she returned to the table and sat down, thinking secretly in her heart.

Song Huaiyu has such a cold temperament, how can he get the favor of the emperor? However, maybe she was pretending on purpose, maybe she didn't know?

The queen mother is so vicious and ruthless, even if she wants to promote anyone, no one dares to accept it!

Song Wen embroidered the ...... of the year The dignified queen of the East Palace was not beheaded and died in the end.

Wu Xue'er thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.

It's the right time for the flowers to bloom, why does she still feel cold......

"Come on, serve tea."

Wu Xue'er instructed the maid who accompanied her into the palace to make tea in the rain.

"Yes, master." Chunyu is her personal maid, and she is the only person she can trust in the palace now.

Chunyu took the hot tea, and when he saw that the master didn't wait for the tea to cool, he held the tea bowl with his hand, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Master, be careful of burning your hands." ”

Wu Xue'er sighed slightly: "It's a hot spot, I feel so cold at this moment." ”

Chunyu didn't know the worry in her heart, and was silent for a while before saying: "Master, look at it, anyway, the matter has come to this point, and the master can only win a glimmer of life for himself if he is focused on progressing." ”

Chance...... Wu Xueer pondered these four words carefully, and her heart sank more and more.

Where is there any way to survive in this palace? Impasse? If you go all the way, there is only one way.

Wu Xue'er picked up the tea bowl, didn't care if the tea was hot, and drank it directly.

The tea burned her heart, but it still couldn't warm her body.

The flowers and plants in Cining Palace are flourishing, just because the Queen Mother liked flowers and plants the most during her lifetime. Every morning, fresh flowers are placed in the dormitory, and the petals are preferably covered with fresh dew.

Meng Xilan doesn't like luxury and waste, so she just asked people to prepare a few exquisite dim sum and tea.

Song Huaiyu and the others came to Cining Palace in a nervous mood.

They thought that the queen mother had come here to scare them.

As soon as they entered the garden, they heard the sound of children laughing. Following the prestige, I saw a pink girl swinging in the courtyard.

The palace people who served behind him were the palace maid Zhuqing and the eunuch Xiaochunzi beside the queen's mother.

Who is this kid?

The four of them were slightly surprised, they only heard that the queen mother gave birth to His Royal Highness the Prince, but they didn't know that she also had a daughter?

Carefree has no place in the palace, and only a few people outside the palace know about her existence. They came from other places, and they had only heard of the bloody wind and rain in the palace, but they didn't know that Meng Xilan had adopted the children of the Chu family.

Meng Xilan hugged Changsheng and appeared in front of them.

Recently, he has grown a lot, and Meng Xilan has already begun to struggle with him.

"The slave and maid knock to see the queen's mother, knock to see His Royal Highness the Prince, the mother is a thousand years old."

Meng Xilan didn't let them get up immediately, but lowered her head and straightened Changsheng's clothes, and then slowly said, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Song Huaiyu and Wu Xue'er were in front, and Tong Yao and Du Xiaolan were standing behind.

Meng Xilan instructed Zhulu to show them a seat, Song Huaiyu was arranged to sit on the left, and Wu Xueer was arranged to sit on the right.

Song Huaiyu caught a glimpse of the crown prince in Meng Xilan's arms out of the corner of his eye, and he seemed to be asleep.

Meng Xilan gently patted the infant prince, raised her eyes to look at them, and said, "The prince just fell asleep, let's talk in a whisper." ”

"Yes......"

After a while, Wuwu ran out of the flowers, holding a handful of flowers in her hand, and when she saw Song Huaiyu and others, she gave them the flowers in her hand.

The four of them were slightly stunned, and then got up to thank her, but they didn't know what to call her?

"Thank you, Your Highness......"

Du Xiaolan was the first to react and saluted Wuwu.

Worry-free winked and smiled when he heard this: "I'm not called Your Highness, I'm called Worry-free." ”

Du Xiaolan was stunned again, she immediately looked at Meng Xilan, and didn't know if she should ask who she was?

"That's right, worry-free is worry-free." Meng Xilan smiled slightly, beckoning to come over without worry.

Carefree leaned over obediently, she looked down at Changsheng before saying, "My brother is asleep." ”

Brother...... How dare she call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince her younger brother?

Meng Xilan gave Zhu Lu a look, and handed the sleeping Changsheng into her arms.

Zhuqing turned around and entered the hall, and Wuwu also followed.

Meng Xilan looked at the four of them, only to see that they were holding tea bowls in their hands, but they didn't take a sip, and said with a slight smile: "What, you don't like the tea in this palace?" ”

The four of them shook their heads again and again: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Meng Xilan took the lead in picking up the teacup, took a sip and said, "This tea is the favorite of this palace, Biluochun." ”

When Song Huaiyu saw her say this, she also lowered her head and took a sip: "It's really good tea." ”

She didn't mean to flatter, she just thought that she only had this one thing to say.

Wu Xue'er saw that she took the lead, and hurriedly echoed: "Thank you, slave, Niangniang, for treating each other with such good tea." ”

Du Xiaolan and Tong Yao were silent. At this time, if you talk casually, you will get into trouble.

Meng Xilan looked at Wu Xue'er's eyes full of uneasiness, and smiled faintly: "It won't be long before you will be called "sisters" with this palace." Therefore, this palace will treat you well in the future. ”

Her tone was gentle, but it was even more frightening.

"This palace invites you to come today, first, to get acquainted with you, and secondly, to hear your views on this palace."

Song Huaiyu raised her eyebrows sensitively: "Niangniang's mother is in the world, and she is in the wisdom of the show, where is such a lowly person as a slave and maid who can evaluate himself?" Slaves don't dare to ......"

Her reaction was quick enough.

When the other three heard this, they followed her words and excused themselves.

Meng Xilan shook her head again and again after hearing this: "You don't need to be like this, the rumors of this palace have already spread inside and outside the capital, you really don't know?" Speaking of this, she smiled deliberately: "Although Bengong is in the palace, Bengong knows very well how terrible it is in those rumors of Bengong!" ”

She rarely felt so difficult for others, but she still wanted to see who among them was the one who could calm down the most.

Song Huaiyu and Wu Xue'er looked at each other, one looked uneasy, and the other had a stiff face.

Tong Yao still held the tea bowl and didn't put it down, because she was too scared, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

The lid of the cup touches the bowl lightly, making a subtle sound.

Everything around was so quiet, so the trembling sound was particularly harsh.

Meng Xilan smiled softly and said, "Don't be afraid, this palace won't do anything to you?" The past has passed, and the palace now only wants to share the emperor's worries. ”

Tong Yao carefully put down the tea bowl, and after a long while, she dared to take a breath and said, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

Meng Xilan looked at their slightly pale faces, then turned her eyes to look at Song Huaiyu, and said softly, "What a coincidence...... Bengong seems to have a lot of fate with the people of the Song family. ”

Song Huaiyu was quite calm, but when she heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

The people of the Song family...... Did she say Song Wenxiu?

Meng Xilan stretched out her hand and gently lifted Song Huaiyu's chin, making her look directly at herself.

"If you look closely, you really look a little like her, not in appearance, but in feeling. Your temperament is very similar to hers, you are both arrogant people, no, it should be said that you are arrogant people. ”
