It was noon, the pattern of the mullion window was printed on the bricks and stones in the hall, and the concubine Niangniang wore a brocade robe embroidered with peony flowers, leaning lazily on the edge of the red sandalwood throne sideways, supporting her arms to lift her chin, and staring at the two people who were pacing in front of her with unpredictable eyes.

"Courtiers see the concubine."

"Excuse me, sit down."

He Qiaorong smiled gently at He Yiyi, and the two sat down on the chair on the left, and it was a long skirt of the same color, the difference was that He Qiaorong was always wearing a positive color, and then a good silver thread embroidery, while He Yiyi was a light color, and the patterns on the clothes were made of silk threads and were not brilliant.

"This is Concubine Ying, you should know it."

"Yes, Concubine Ying is polite."

This is also the first time He Qiaorong has met Ye Ruying at such a close distance since she married into the East Palace, her body is full, her face is full of spring breeze, and Ye Ruying, who is wearing a peach-colored brocade long skirt, is delicate and lovely, naturally all this is not comparable to her five-month-old belly.

Ye Ruying smiled lightly, her eyes only fell on He Qiaorong's face and left at a glance, He Qiaorong's expression changed slightly, as the daughter of a family, she was born with a sense of superiority, and she looked down on some concubines, and Ye Fanzhi is just a common person now.

In the past, if she met on the street, what title could Ye Ruying have, but she was the youngest daughter of Ye Shangshu's family, Ye Ruyan's own sister, and later the younger sister of King Yu, the prince's side concubine, but in the future, I am afraid that she will be the mother of His Royal Highness..

"Ying'er has been sitting for too long today, like smoke, helping your concubine Ying to go out for a walk."

"Yes."

A person who didn't notice He Qiaorong at all, Ye Ruyan, wearing a palace maid-style snow-blue long dress, was weak, and her expression was very ordinary from the back of the chair to the side, helping Ye Ruying to bow down to the concubine in the upper seat, and the two of them went out.

He Qiaorong looked at the back of Ye Ruyan leaving in a daze, her eyes were full of surprise, compared to Ye Ruying, she and Ye Ruyan were familiar with each other, although she used to dislike Ye Ruyan's delicate appearance in front of the prince, but after all, she was passable, but she didn't expect her to be such a field now.

Speaking of Ye Ruyan, in her life before the age of fifteen, she smelled full of brocade clothes and jade food and pampered taste, her parents loved her, and the prince liked it, but overnight she became a subordinate who served tea and poured water, and she also had to serve her sister...

This is the fate of people, He Qiaorong's ten fingers were unconsciously clenched together, revealing the worries in her heart... The smile on the corner of He Yiyi's mouth was very calm, and she only felt bored about Shicai's lame drama, Ye Ruyan had all kinds of things today, the blame was that she was plotting to assassinate the prince, and it had nothing to do with her luck, thinking that He Qiaorong was conceited and smart, but she couldn't think of it at all.

"Your sisters also came today to catch up, the first spring tea presented by the people below, the taste is fresh, try it."

"Xie Guifei Niangniang."

He Qiaorong eased his expression, pinched the rim of the cup with his thumb and index finger, held the bottom of the cup with his middle finger, raised his hand and gently took a sip of tea soup and tasted it carefully.

"Yiyi, what have you been busy with in the house lately?"

"Back to Niangniang, Yiyi is just full of food all day long, and has nothing to do."

He Yiyi heard that he hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up, and when he replied, he was even more timid and didn't dare to look up, He Qiaorong saw the tea stains that were splashed on the side of the teacup, and felt that it was really embarrassing to take He Yiyi into the palace, but he didn't show it.

"Really? I heard that you were having fun with King Yu a few days ago, how can you say that you have no intentions? ”

"Hui Niangniang.. His Royal Highness King Yu's orders were not to be disobeyed. ”

He Yiyi bit her lip tightly after speaking, as if she was afraid that the concubine would blame her for something, He Qiaorong's heart sank suddenly, if it wasn't for the concubine mentioning it today, she wouldn't have known that there was such a thing..

A sneer brushed the concubine's lips, she wanted to see how long this He Yiyi could pretend.

"Don't panic, this palace looks at you as a responsible child, and I like it very much. I remembered that there was a nephew in my mother's family, who was outstanding, neat and neat, and matched with you! Would you like to be the niece and daughter-in-law of Hongu? ”

"Huh? Return.. Back to the concubine Niangniang, the parents should be in charge of the marriage, and Yiyi is still young, so she has to send the eldest sister to marry first."

He Qiaorong raised his eyes and glanced at the concubine, his heart felt very blocked, and his face was very uncomfortable, obviously the concubine was more optimistic about herself, could it be that because of the relationship between King Yu and He Yiyi? It's not right, how can a concubine be worthy of being the niece and daughter-in-law of the concubine, thinking that the concubine is also the same as her, she wants to control He Yiyi in the palm of her hand...

He Yiyi lowered her head quietly, she knew that the concubine was staring at her, and she also knew what the concubine was measuring in her heart, as for the marriage, no matter what the concubine said was true or not, in front of Lord He, as long as He Yiyi refused to agree, Lord He would not persecute her!

"Huh.. You sit down. ”

"Xie Guifei Niangniang."

The concubine sneered, suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and secretly thought that it was really a loss of identity for a little woman to be angry, but He Yiyi always looked like a panic and uneasiness without going through the world, but in fact she was calm and calm, and she was not surprised by any changes.

"Qiaorong, you have blocked the palace to beg for your nephew and daughter-in-law, you have to hurry up on your own affairs."

"Yes.."

The concubine turned to look at He Qiaorong, He Qiaorong was immediately surprised, with a shy and embarrassed look on her face, this is the expression that a woman's family should have when it comes to marriage, He Yiyi is good, she is pretending and deliberately pretending to make people see.

If she could be a little less stubborn, maybe the ending would be different.

About another stick of incense time, Ye Ruying returned from a walk, and the concubine politely invited He Qiaorong's sisters to dine in the palace, where He Qiaorong was willing to eat at the same table with Ye Ruying, so he resigned and retired with He Yiyi.

He Qiaorong no longer looks down on Ye Ruying, it is envy, envy that he doesn't want to admit, such an itchy feeling must be very uncomfortable.

It's just that when passing by Ye Ruyan, He Qiaorong still couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was even more subtle when she saw it in her eyes.

"Yiyi, you see that Ye Ruying, once flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix, how do you... Will you refuse the concubine? ”

"The eldest sister is not married yet, and my father and mother don't know, how can I say anything here."

He Qiaorong and He Yiyi walked slowly side by side, He Yiyi's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he glanced at the people beside him, like something flying on a branch or something like that, He Qiaorong would never say it in the past, it seems that she has really been affected by the concubine recently, and she has forgotten her own pride.

"And what if Daddy agrees? Will you get married? ”

"I don't know."

He Qiaorong's smile gradually disappeared on her face, what kind of answer would she be satisfied with? It should be not, He Yiyi is willing, she is not happy, He Yiyi is unwilling, she is still unhappy. But somehow, He Qiaorong just had a feeling, He Yiyi didn't want to!

"Yiyi, did King Yu promise you something, so you didn't want to?"

"Not really."

He Yiyi raised a smile that she had never noticed, I don't know who she thought of because of the word King Yu, but He Qiaorong couldn't help but think too biased, not all women in the world will be like her, taking feelings as calculations, and calling back and forth is full of calculations.

"What did King Yu tell you?"

"Eldest sister, my surname is He, no matter what you do, although I can't help, I won't listen to King Yu's words, but, King Yu is King Yu after all, we all know how much the emperor favors her today, why do you provoke them!"

He Yiyi still remembers the words of the warning on the day of Wanshou Day, she is not a warm-hearted person, and she only wants to be a bystander for He Qiaorong, but they are both sisters, He Yiyi inevitably wants to comfort He Qiaorong.

He Qiaorong's eyes turned cold, in her opinion, this is He Yiyi knows how hot she is now, and dares to teach her a lesson...

"Since you know what your surname is, you should tell me what King Yu told you, where you have been, who you are with, if it is really like you said that there is nothing, then why the concubine Niangniang will not say anything when asked!"

"Okay, let me tell you, King Yu will take me out, I just found your idea, as for the others, I don't know."

He Qiaorong frowned slightly, obviously not believing a word, if Fang Xing knew it, just deal with her directly, what's the matter with going around in circles... There were four people in the Jinghong Hall that day, and when they saw the tea in the teacup, they knew that they had been talking for a while, and the concubine said it again, He Qiaorong thought of it like a fish in her throat, she was so much stronger than He Yiyi, why would Fang Xing give He Yiyi a good face!

He Yiyi pondered for a moment, and regretted Shicai's words, what did she do to persuade He Qiaorong, this is simply hopeless..

"Heh... Then Yiyi, you have to remember that King Yu likes you, but it's because of me, don't choose the wrong path if you can't recognize your identity! ”

"You think too much, not everyone loves to cling to the powerful."

He Yiyi raised his eyes to look at He Qiaorong, his expression was extremely cold, He Qiaorong saw endless irony in the face of this coldness, and a touch of pain flashed in his eyes, even if he was embarrassed to be exposed in person, and He Yiyi's blunt rebuttal...

"He Yiyi, did your mother die too early, making you forget what kind of species you are!"

"Eldest sister, Shen Yan, you and my sister."

He Yiyi's voice was slightly harsh, not an insult to He Qiaorong, but for the first time, she felt ashamed that they were sisters, the upbringing of the He family should not be like this! He Qiaorong couldn't help but have a seizure, and looked at the eunuchs on duty around him and finally endured it temporarily.

He Qiaorong always walked in front of He Yiyi, clenching the handkerchief in his sleeve, because of excessive force, his finger joints were faintly white, He Qiaorong swore in his heart that He Yiyi must be trampled under his feet in this life.
