He was condescending, and his tone was irresistible, Qi Xiao slowly raised his head, and finally dared to glance at Xiao Huaijin.

It turned out that the regent admired by the women in the imperial city looked like this, with bright eyes and bright teeth, looking at Angzang, dignified and handsome.

Qi Xiao bowed his head politely, didn't dare to look directly into those eyes anymore, and whispered: "Qi Xiao didn't know that the prince would come here." ”

"Why are you only standing in the doorway?"

"Without the princess's order, the concubine does not dare to move around at will."

"Hasn't the princess already removed the guards of Qionghuatai?"

"The concubine knows that her identity is very much, and she still doesn't dare to walk around the house at will." At the end, she had to add: "But the concubine has no two thoughts about the palace." ”

This person seems to be well-behaved, but he insinuates that he has been alluding to something. Although Xiao Huaijin didn't want to listen to her being smart, she still followed the conversation and said: "Identity? Then tell me what your identity is. ”

Qiu Di secretly glanced at it and found that Xiao Huaijin's face was as cold as ever, not good-looking. So he cautiously replied: "I am the daughter of Qi Hou and the sister of Princess Xiang Qi Kite." It's also ......."

"What?"

"Mrs. Qi of the Pingnan Palace." This sentence was extremely difficult to say, as if it was forced to be asked by Xiao Huaijin.

Xiao Huaijin paused for a while, making people think that he was dissatisfied with Qi Xiao's answer.

So Qi Xiao could only kneel on the ground with her hands and feet shrunk, and that kind of pitiful appearance made people see at a glance that she was not pretending, but really scared in her heart.

In Qi Houfu before, no matter how her brothers and sisters tossed her and forced her, Qi Xiao didn't feel afraid. But the two masters in this house are inexplicably intimidating without saying a word.

Until he asked: "Qi Hou often goes to Xiangwang's Mansion to see Qi Kite, you are also Qi Hou's daughter, why don't you see him come to see you?" ”

"How can I compare with my eldest sister? The eldest sister is the top of my father's heart, and I am just my father's drunken maid, and my father has always regarded me as a shame. Speaking of this, Qi Xiao asked himself with a wry smile on his face: "Why did you come to see me?" Naturally, not.

What's more, the prince should know that the relationship between his father and King Xiang is better than anyone in the court. ”

After saying this, Qi Xiao didn't hear Xiao Huaijin's answer again, and as soon as he raised his head, he met his cold gaze. Qi Xiao lowered his head and thought for a while before he realized what he said wrong: "The concubine should not discuss the government in vain. ”

"The people around you were beaten to death by the princess?"

"Yes."

"Do you hate the princess?"

"That girl has been with me since she was a child, and if she said that she didn't have a heart knot, she probably lied to the prince. But I don't blame the princess, it's just that I can't help myself, so I have to do something wrong, and I almost caught the prince in injustice.

The princess attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and it is reasonable to be angry. Besides, the princess is not an intolerant person, and after eradicating the red pupil, she also left the concubine in the mansion and lifted the concubine's grounding.

The prince knew that the concubine came to the Pingnan Mansion to die. The princess gave me a way to live, and I was grateful to the princess. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin's expression was a little relaxed, and he glanced at the person on the ground and said, "Get up." ”

Qi Yu stood up obediently, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Huaijin, and his eyes were full of love. She stood cautiously beside Xiao Huaijin and accompanied him to look at the bleak scenery of the lake.

He didn't ask her and didn't say a word, it was easy to see Xiao Huaijin still standing by his side, and Qi Xiao naturally wouldn't make him unhappy. Be careful, don't even dare to breathe too loudly.

"The daughter's status in her husband's family is supported by her mother's family, and the glory in her mother's family is given by her husband's family." Xiao Huaijin looked at the rower in the middle of the lake, and said as if unintentionally: "If you are willing, take someone back to Qihou Mansion for a trip, as if you are going to visit your father." ”

"Can I go back?"

"The dignity that the palace should give you will not be given to you at all. This king will inform the princess, and she will take care of you. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Qi Xiao lowered his eyebrows and lowered his face, and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Huaijin more, let alone feel that Xiao Huaijin's actions were because he was different in his heart.

Although she grew up drinking bitter water, she is used to seeing a knife smeared with honey in Qi Hou Mansion, so she will not be grateful to anyone because of a little sweetness.

Even if Qi Hou said a few words to her, she would feel that her father had other plans. And this is always the case, the first time I sat down to eat with my father, I was asked if I would like to go to Pingnan Wangfu to help him achieve great things.

It turned out that he just wanted to take back the life he gave him.

If others treat her well, she will be scared and panic. No matter who the other person is, she is the same.

Xiao Huaijin understood her thoughts, so she gave her a medicine to settle down: "Why is Qi Kite a concubine, but you can't?" ”

"Because Qi Xiao's life is cheap, and the most important thing is that the prince and the princess have a deep relationship."

"I'm not talking about the princess, what do you think of the princess?"

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the only one who dared to say this blatantly was Xiao Huaijin. Qi Xiao looked at Xiao Huaijin with wide eyes, not knowing how to answer, and nervously clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

"Even if you don't have insight into the court, when you were in Qi Houfu, you should know why Qi Yuan married Xiao Huaiyue. I know what kind of position they put me in.

When I returned to the Imperial City, I took the military power, what do you think I want to do? ”

Qi Xiao ...... Qi Xiao didn't dare to speculate. ”

"I don't dare to say it, but I know it in my heart. I don't want to bother to talk too much, so I'll tell you bluntly that I need the support of the old ministers in the court, and I need the Qi clan headed by Qi Hou.

I will give you the dignity you deserve, and I can make you look up in Qihou Mansion. There's only one thing you have to do. ”

"Let my father know that compared to King Xiang, you are a better choice?" The corners of Qi Yu's blue-gray clothes staggered, and he didn't speak when he saw Xiao Huaijin dull.

At this moment, her heart kept beating, nervous and joyful. What she wanted seemed to be right in front of her eyes, and she could touch it as long as she reached out.

Imperial concubine, a person who can overpower the title of the eldest sister by raising her feet, and the identity of an eldest sister who has to salute when she meets her. The imperial city is prosperous like a dream, and the broken silver that those people casually give to the shopkeeper is enough for ordinary people to live for more than half a year.

But these never belonged to Qi Xuan, so Qi Xuan was more eager for the position of imperial concubine than the charcoal fire in winter.

He didn't nod, but he acquiesced.

Xiao Huaijin's words seemed to light a beam of light for the rest of Qi Xiao's life, guiding her to crawl forward, crawling towards the position of the imperial concubine little by little.

What if there are no feelings? In the face of the future, the relationship is simply low to the dirt.

Even if they are not husband and wife, they are also Xiao Huaijin's people. As long as he turned over, he also turned over. So Qi Xiao made up his mind: "It's better tomorrow." ”

"What?"

"Tomorrow, the concubine wants to go to see her father. I just don't know if it's too hasty, the princess is pregnant, and it may be too hard. ”

I thought that Xiao Huaijin would refuse because of the incense, but I didn't expect Xiao Huaijin to say: "It's okay, this is what she should do." ”

……

"What do you mean my sister should do?!" Fu Yu in Qiu Di's courtyard was so angry that she jumped to her feet, and shouted in her mouth: "What he said, it made it clear that he didn't take his sister seriously!" ”

Qiu Di, who was sitting under the tree on the side, heard Fu Yu talk about Xiao Huaijin's encounter with Qi Ji by the lake, and felt a little worried, and when she heard that Xiao Huaijin also said those words to Qi Ji, her delicate face instantly turned sad, and she muttered: "No?" ”

She didn't know how to tell Wanxiang, fiddling with the half-embroidered tiger head shoe upper on her hand and listening to Fuyu continue to complain: "I should really tell my sister that he just drew that face!" ”

After speaking, he sat down angrily and took a sip of tea, muttering in his mouth: "Men don't have a good thing." ”

"Xiao Fuyu. You're a man, too. ”

"I ...... I'm a child at most for my sister. ”

Qiu Di nodded: "But how should we tell the princess to beware of Mrs. Qi?" ”

"What is there to watch out for Madame Qi? Isn't it that the prince has taken a fancy to other people's family situation? My sister doesn't have the power of her mother's family, and she is about to be crushed by that little hoof! ”

Fu Yu said as if he was about to be trampled under Qi Yu's feet.

Qiu Di put down the embroidery tent and reminded Fu Yu: "I will not say this in the future, not only because of our right and wrong, but also because it is not good for us to provoke the princess by talking too much." ”

"You're right." Fu Yu cupped her chin in frustration: "Sister, I can't do any more." But this is so infuriating, why is this happening? ”

Seeing that he was distressed, Qiu Di patiently explained: "Actually, it may not be what we see. Maybe the prince has any plans of his own, I don't believe that the prince will change his mind. ”

"Why?"

Qiu Di thought for a while: "I don't know, anyway, I just don't believe it." Also, don't rush to tell the princess about this.

The princess is now alone, but it is two people who are uncomfortable. ”

"Then isn't it a little bad for us to hide from my sister like this? I always feel like a sinner if it happens. If he was not prepared, the prince suddenly changed his mind. I was worried that my sister would be caught off guard. ”

"What you said ......" Qiu Di's eyebrows gradually frowned, and he muttered with a sad face: "It seems that there is some truth." ”

The two of them sat in the courtyard drinking warm tea with autumn leaves, and no one could tell what they had to do to protect the incense.

Especially Fu Yu, when she saw Xiao Huaijin and Qi Yu standing by the lake, she first felt betrayed for Wanxiang. In the past, it was my sister who protected me, but now I want to protect my sister, but I can't do anything.

He was so angry that he wanted to carry Xiao Huaijin to Juan Xiang to question, but he was also afraid of accidentally deepening the misunderstanding, so he could only go to Qiu Di to chatter.

After a while, Qiu Di put away the basket: "I can't talk to you here anymore, I have to go and change the okra." ”

"Oh, I'll be back then."

Seeing that Fu Yu turned around and wanted to leave, Qiu Di hurriedly stopped him: "Don't forget, don't mention this matter in front of the princess again." ”

"Sister Qiu Di, don't worry, I wrote it down."

Seeing him answer like this, Qiu Di went to Wanxiang's bedroom with peace of mind.
