"How did you get it like this? What did those subordinates do? How can you be so sloppy, does it hurt..."

Zhan Qing's distressed brows furrowed tightly, and he carefully held Xu Xiangjin's already somewhat miserable hand in his hand, for fear that he would touch any of her wounds again.

"It's all been beaten to Yafeng Palace, so what's the point of being lazy or not, it's good to be able to eat and drink enough and have a place to sleep, it's just a little frostbite, not enough to worry about."

The more Xu Xiangjin showed such an indifferent look, the more distressed Zhan Qing became, and hurriedly asked Yan Kang to bring the best gold sore medicine and personally help Xu Xiangjin with the medicine.

"It is said that this woman's hand is the second face, it was so beautiful before, but it can't be disfigured because of my mistakes, it must be kept alive in the future, and it must not freeze again."

After giving Xu Xiangjin good medicine, a big man actually tied a bow on the back of her hand, and then ordered someone to bring the gloves specially made for her and help her bring them personally.

Xu Xiangjin looked at his hands that had turned into bear paws and his fingers were not easy to bend, which felt a little ridiculous and couldn't help but have some tears, and felt warm in his heart.

But in addition to being moved by Zhan Qing so intimately, she couldn't help but be a little worried, Zhan Qing took such a lot of effort, naturally he made a lot of moves, and when the time comes, if he provokes anyone's jealousy again, and then he will involve a lot of right and wrong, wouldn't it...

The more Xu Xiangjin thought about it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, staring at the gloves in his hand in a daze, his expression was unusually serious.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhan Qing gently flicked Xu Xiangjin's forehead, pulled her back from the fugue, sat down beside her, and gently hugged her into his arms.

"You can rest assured, I will never let you fall into any desperate situation in the future, I will protect you in the future, so that you can stay by my side with peace of mind."

Xu Xiangjin closed his eyes in his arms, felt the breath on his body, and felt a little relieved, his words were enough to make her feel at ease, as for any messy changes in the future, let him go.

Just like Zhan Qing's promise, Xu Xiangjin stayed in the Heart Cultivation Palace and lived a very peaceful life, no need to ask anyone for peace, sleep until three poles a day, the palace maid eunuch sent by Zhan Qing was afraid that she would snub her, and she couldn't wait to guess what she wanted to do next, and completed it for her in advance, Xu Xiangjin felt that if she continued like this, she would degenerate into nothing.

After a few days of Ansheng, suddenly Zhan Qing ordered someone to bring a bunch of all kinds of dumplings to her room, and happily beckoned her to eat dumplings.

"What day is today, why did you suddenly eat dumplings, and you have made so much..."

Looking at the various dumplings on the table, Xu Xiangjin really felt a little surprised, and once wondered if Zhan Qing had a misunderstanding of her amount of food, she was not a big stomach for eating and broadcasting.

"I suddenly found that we have never spent a winter solstice together for so long, and I don't know what kind of dumplings you like to eat, so I can only order someone to make the same everything that can be remembered, you taste, which one is delicious..."

Well, it's really powerful and powerful, and there can be this kind of operation, Xu Xiangjin is quite satisfied, he just got up late today, and before he had time to eat any snacks, he opened his appetite and ate them one by one.

"This fennel-flavored, as well as this pork and green onion flavored, are all delicious, and the cooking skills in the imperial dining room are really saved, otherwise I will eat dumplings tomorrow..."

Xu Xiangjin squinted his eyes happily and said...

"Okay, as long as you like to eat, I will accompany you to eat for the rest of your life..."

Infected by Xu Xiangjin, Zhan Qing couldn't help but eat a few more.

When he was about to eat, Zhan Qing took advantage of Xu Xiangjin's happiness and opened his mouth with some hesitation.

"Jin'er, there will be a family banquet in the harem tonight, but you still don't have an identity after all, so..."

"So I don't have to go..."Xu Xiangjin saw that Zhan Qing was rarely hesitant, and helped him say the rest of the words, "Why do you want to look sorry for me like this, I can't wait to go to the so-called family banquet, the women there are hypocritical to death one by one, and I have to choke to death to eat such a meal, I used to be forced to escape, and now if I want to go, I will be a fool!" ”

Xu Xiangjin's words were really from the bottom of her heart, she really didn't want to go to such a place where the demons were dancing wildly, and she even felt pity for Zhan Qing who had to deal with so many women.

"I can escape now, but I pity you, hey, I have to deal with so many women at once, do you need me to prepare a bowl of ginseng soup waiting for you... I'm really worried that you're being squeezed dry by those women. ”

After carefully raising it for so many days, Zhan Qing watched Xu Xiangjin finally return to his previous appearance. Suddenly felt that even if he faced the Longtan Tiger's Den at night, as long as he thought that there were still people waiting for him here, there would be nothing to be afraid of.

"You go to bed early tonight, I will be back with you soon, without me here, you must let Xingxiang stare at the door, don't be careless!"

Zhan Qing was verbose for a long time before leaving, and the good mood that Xu Xiangjin brought to Zhan Qing lasted until the family banquet in the evening did not dissipate, looking at the various concubines who were surging underneath, he didn't feel as annoying as he imagined.

Of course, after all, it is still a family banquet in the palace, with the presence of the Queen Mother and the Empress, even if the two concubines are old enemies, they still have to laugh with each other when they meet on this occasion, so there is a strange and happy atmosphere at the moment.

The concubines sitting on the top have a smug look, waiting for other concubines to toast her, and the low-grade concubines naturally spare no effort to toast in order to be able to slap others, which leads to the fact that Shuang'er, who is obviously sitting at the bottom, but looks arrogant, looks unusually eye-catching.

She thought that she had always been favored by the emperor, but the concubines promoted by the emperor himself, where could these vulgar women compare, she naturally disdained them to mix together.

Zhan Qing smiled playfully at this scene, and coughed lightly twice, attracting the attention of the concubines below, who immediately became silent.

"Today's family banquet, I am very happy, and I decided to take this opportunity to seal the frost and promise to be the frost concubine..."

His words were like a drop of water dripping into the boiling hot oil, making the whole scene tumble, but everyone was angry and didn't dare to speak, and for a while the expression was simply wonderful.

The queen sitting next to the emperor still couldn't stand it after all, and couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, is it too hasty to suddenly seal the concubine in this situation?"

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind now, let's continue the feast..."Zhan Qing interrupted Queen Yuan's words in time, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip in a good mood, looking at the people below as if he was watching a TV series as a bystander.

And Shuang'er, who is the center of public opinion, after worshipping in the center of the hall, the steps back to her seat are floating, she actually knows in her heart that the speed of the concubine should not be so fast, maybe it will not be good, but at this moment she can't suppress her excited heart at all, and she feels that the fireworks in her heart are exploding, which makes her a little carried away for a moment.

At this banquet, Shuang'er thought that she was the biggest winner, and everyone must be jealous of her, fluttering, and even a little forgotten that even though she has now been promoted to a higher level, she is still inferior to others.

When the banquet was about to disperse, it was naturally the queen mother and the emperor who left together, and the rest of everyone left little by little consciously according to their ranks, and no one wanted to cause trouble.

In previous years, nothing went wrong, but this year there was one more frost, and when she saw that the people around her bowed their heads respectfully, she naturally thought that they were worshipping herself, and she was about to go outside with her toes arrogant.

"Frost Concubine, I didn't expect it to be such an unruly!"

As soon as Shuang'er stood up, suddenly a voice called her from behind, Shuang'er looked back, it turned out to be a good concubine, and she was followed by a group of concubines who couldn't be called, no matter which one they were, they were all higher than her rank, after all, there were many powerful people, and the momentum that Shuang'er had just accumulated was instantly suppressed.

"It's my sister who is reckless, and I ask my sister to go first..."

Frost bowed her head to them, thinking that she would one day get this worship back.

But she was in a low position on the surface, and people didn't plan to buy her account, so Concubine Liang stood still in front of her, letting her salute, and had no intention of getting her up.

"There is no sister like you in this palace, isn't it just a slave, even if you fly on the branches, you can't be a phoenix, you can't be a phoenix by betraying your master, and now you still want to be on an equal footing with this palace, you don't want to see if you are worthy, don't think that you are now favored by the emperor and this palace will not dare to touch you, you can try it to see if Your Majesty will treat you as a second Xu Xiangjin to protect you!"

Shuang'er naturally knew that she would never become the second Xu Xiangjin, but now she was suddenly so ruthlessly pulled into reality, and she felt a little ashamed, but what Concubine Liang said was right, she had no way to refute it, so she could only grit her teeth and bear it.

This sudden ups and downs made her a little trance for a while, obviously she should be happy, but because of that damn background, because she used to be a maidservant, even if she has become a concubine now, she is still trampled on by them like this, why, she is really unwilling, what she worked hard to get must not be this result.

Crying and crying, Shuang'er secretly decided to use the gaze of those concubines who looked down on her as motivation, one day, she asked them to kneel in front of her and confess their mistakes to her, and let them take back all the words they said today! She memorized every sentence carefully, and no one could be left behind!
