Her whole body trembled, her face suddenly turned pale, and she trembled: "Your Highness······"

"Don't move!" Mu Lingzhi smiled coldly, the tip of the knife gently drew a circle on her chest, and a pair of phoenix eyes like the eyes of a vicious wolf stared at her cruelly, as if in the next second, she was going to pick out her fresh heart with the dagger in her hand-

"Tell me, who is the jade girl of Qi Kingdom?"

Jade girl? It's a jade girl again!

He wanted to kill her once or twice, all for the sake of the jade girl of Qi Kingdom, why was he so eager to know?

Yu Ruyan looked at the dagger that stayed on her chest, the cold air it emitted made her lips tremble for a while, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, her lips opened and closed like a fish on the verge of death, but there was no sound.

"Your Highness, I don't know, I really don't know!" For the first time, she was panicked and scared to the extreme, and her watery eyes were no longer calm, and there was deep fear and fear hidden in them. She can be calm about anyone and everything, but in front of him, she can never guess his thoughts, and she can't resemble how terrible he is-

“··· Your Royal Highness, the Jade Maiden is a secret of the Qi Kingdom, and even the princess of the royal family doesn't know about it, let alone a little maid of mine······" Seeing that the chill on Mu Lingzhi's face was even heavier, she hurriedly explained again.

The wind blew through the courtyard, as if it had broken a flower branch outside the house, and there was a soft 'click' sound. Yu Ruyan's heart sank for a while, like a drowning person, who could never step on the edge······

Mu Lingyi looked at her for a moment, as if he wanted to see the truth in her face, and finally, he let out a long sigh, turned his wrist, and put away the dagger.

"Sleep!"

The lights went out, and Mu Lingzhi turned around and fell asleep. In the dark night, Yu Ruyan curled up at the head of the bed like a frightened kitten, her eyes were extremely sore, but she couldn't shed a single tear······

The news of Yu Ruyan's sleeping was known to the whole house in less than a moment. When the thin curtain told An Lirong the news, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

She was clumsy in the end, and despised that slut, she thought that she was not worthy of lifting shoes for His Highness with such an identity, but she didn't expect His Highness to be the first to recruit her to sleep when he returned home.

Thinking of Yu Ruyan's bold and ruthless character, the hand holding the fan shook with the thin curtain, and the fan in his hand fell to the ground.

An Lirong was concentrating on drawing patterns under the lamp, and when she looked back and saw the uneasy look on her face on the curtain, her eyebrows frowned slightly: "What's the matter, what's the trouble?" ”

The thin curtain was afraid that the side concubine would be angry with herself if she knew that she was causing trouble outside, and she was also afraid that after Yu Ruyan gained power, she would find herself to find today's humiliating revenge. After thinking about it, she still wanted to get An Lirong's protection, so she had to tell An Lirong about what happened in the treasury at the risk of being scolded and punished.

After listening to An Lirong, her face turned cold, she was gentle and generous, and she also asked the people in her yard to keep a low profile, but she didn't expect that she would mention her face every day, and the most faceful girl around her was still outside with a fake tiger, and she suddenly felt angry in her heart.

"It's smart to look at you, but I didn't expect you to be such a shallow eyelid. Do you think she has no future when she comes from a low background? You don't want to think about it, how can she say that she is also the person brought back by His Highness, where can you be bullied and taught a lesson? Thanks to being by my side for so many years, why can't you understand some things? ”

Rather than being angry, An Lirong hates iron even more, and the girl in her room has to be more sensible and polite than others.

"Niangniang, the slave is wrong, the slave is also angry, she is a slave and maid who was born as a military prostitute, how can she become a person next to His Highness. Doesn't this even bring down the identities of you and other aunts? "In the end, the fine curtain is at stake, and she knows how to please An Lirong, obviously she is a fox and a fake tiger, but she deliberately said that she was holding grievances for An Lirong.

Sure enough, hearing her say this, the anger on An Lirong's face couldn't help but drop a little, and she sighed and said: "Forget it, there is also my fault in this matter, it is I who did not discipline you well, you go to the courtyard and kneel for two hours, and tomorrow I will personally lead you to admit your mistake in front of Miss Xiaoqing." ”

A trace of hatred flashed in the eyes of the thin curtain, but her face responded respectfully, she knelt in the middle of the courtyard unwillingly, watching everyone pointing at her, and felt a great shame.

She has always been the most face-saving girl, and she always says nothing in front of her subordinates, and the subordinates in the house flatter and flatter her, after this incident, I am afraid that her prestige in the mansion will be greatly reduced in the future.

She was resentful in her heart, and this account was naturally recorded on Yu Ruyan.

When An Lan took Yuan'er into the door, she saw the thin curtain kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, her eyes rolled, and she stepped forward briskly, so she was surprised and said, "Ah, isn't this a thin curtain?" You don't serve your mother in the house, why do you kneel here? ”

Seeing that it was her, the curtain didn't see the courtesy, but just lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "I did something wrong to make my mother unhappy and punished." After saying that, I won't go to Li'an Lan again.

An Lan knew that she looked down on herself in her heart, because the two of them were girls next to An Lirong before, she once flew up to the branch to be the master, but the thin curtain was still a girl, of course she would be indignant in her heart, on weekdays, she came to the side concubine's courtyard, the thin curtain pretended to be respectful to her, and in fact, she often sarcastically mocked her in secret, all of which she saw in her eyes and remembered in her heart.

An Lan pretended to be sad and pulled her up, and said, "Don't kneel, you are the most face-saving girl by Niangniang's side, kneeling like this, how can you stand up in the house in the future?" ”

This is simply to the heart of the fine curtain, and she doesn't want to kneel in the yard to make people laugh, but the mother said that she should kneel for two hours, how dare she disobey?

She felt uncomfortable, and her words were sharp and prickly: "Aunt An, thank you for your kindness." But do you dare to disobey the mother's words? You insist on pulling me up, don't you want me to disobey my mother's order and make my mother even more annoyed with me? After that, he shook off An Lan's hand and didn't bother to take care of her anymore.

An Lan's smiling face stiffened, and the words of the thin curtain clearly meant that she was faking kindness. Looking at the people on the ground, she hated not stepping forward and stomping on her feet, but on the surface, she returned to her usual gentle appearance and said softly: "I still know the rules of the fine curtain, and I am also heartbroken for a while, and I forgot about this stubble." Don't worry, I'll go into the house and intercede for you. ”

Yuan'er followed her into the house and said in a low voice: "Does the master really want to intercede for this unknown person?" ”

An Lan smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness at the corner of her lips, and said: "Of course, she is a majestic curtain, how can she be punished and change her arrogant temperament, then there will be no drama in this mansion in the future." ”

Yuan'er understood what she meant, but still said unwillingly: "Wouldn't this be cheap for her!" ”

"Heh, silly girl, kneeling for an hour is also a punishment, kneeling for two hours is also a punishment, this ugly she is decided, and her prestige in front of everyone has also been swept away, why do you need to care about this little time."

Sure enough, An Lan did what she said, and after a while, An Lirong softened her heart under her persuasion, waived the kneeling punishment of the thin curtain, and let her enter the house.

An Lirong sighed heavily and said to An Lan: "In the end, I was negligent. I don't know what His Highness will think about the flower hall this morning? Maybe we think we can't afford anyone, and throw the man he brought back into the garden······"

An Lan hurriedly persuaded in a whisper: "Miss, I can blame you for this." That Xiaoqing opened her mouth and closed her mouth and said that she was a slave, and when Mother Liu asked her, she also replied like this. Besides, His Royal Highness didn't personally raise her as the master, how can you make your own decisions? After all, she came from that background. ”

An Lirong frowned, and after a long time, she said weakly: "Forget it, I will go to His Highness early tomorrow morning to admit my mistakes, and let His Highness carry her as an aunt." ”

In the early hours of the morning, Yu Ruyan had already come out of Yunsong Courtyard. She was shrouded in endless fear all night, and she didn't fall asleep for half a moment, until she stepped out of Mu Lingzhi's room, she felt alive again, breathing in the refreshing fragrance of plants and flowers in the garden along the way, sleepiness hit hard, and she fell asleep as soon as she entered the house.

She was sleeping soundly, she was woken up, and when she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but be stunned.

At some point, the humble bungalow was full of women in brocade clothes, and their luxurious silk satin and bejeweled flesh really made the little bungalow shine!

The leader was An Lirong, the hostess of the palace, she looked kind, but her eyes still inadvertently showed a trace of discomfort, so that a person with such a noble status appeared in such a humble and low place, she only felt that her breath was about to suffocate.

Seeing Yu Ruyan wake up, An Lirong cleared her throat and said in as soft a voice as possible: "Miss Xiaoqing, quickly change your clothes and go to the front hall with us." ”

She was very surprised, and did not understand why the woman in the house appeared in her house early in the morning. The streamer's eyes turned, knowing that all this must have been caused by her 'sleeping' last night, so she didn't say anything, turned over and got up and went to the bedside to touch her clothes.

The little maid in Tsing Yi on the side stepped forward with a gorgeous lilac gauze skirt and personally served her to wear it. Yu Ruyan knew what they were thinking, and she didn't shirk it, letting them dress up from head to toe.

Seeing that she was dressed, An Lirong didn't want to stay here for a moment, and immediately led everyone to the front yard. In fact, with her status as a side concubine, there was no need to personally welcome Yu Ruyan, but she was afraid that the incident in the flower hall yesterday would make Mu Lingzhi care, so she would personally rush to the next room early in the morning to pick up Yu Ruyan.

In the huge hall, a whole table of exquisite breakfast was placed, An Lirong took four concubines into the table, Yu Ruyan stood around with a group of maids with the thin curtain, An Lirong looked at her, hesitated for a moment and said: "Miss Xiaoqing, you can also sit!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the other four people all stared at her, and Gu Qing'er hurriedly turned her head, clearly not wanting to sit with her.

Yu Ruyan smiled slowly and said: "Thank you for your love, the slave is just a subordinate, and I don't dare to make a mistake." ”

An Lirong thought about it, she didn't have an identity now, and it was really not suitable to sit with them, so she was no longer reluctant, but just asked the maid to go to the door to guard and see if His Highness had come?

The thin curtain was standing next to Yu Ruyan, she was like sitting on pins and needles, uncomfortable, and didn't know what to do? It wasn't until I saw An Lirong's gestured eyes that I bent down to Yu Ruyan in embarrassment: "Miss Xiaoqing, I was wrong about the treasury yesterday, and I ask you not to keep it in mind." ”

In fact, yesterday in the warehouse, she didn't get a favor in front of Yu Ruyan, but suffered a dumb loss. If it were someone else, it would be more or less on the face of the side concubine, and reply two kind words to the fine curtain, but Yu Ruyan seemed to be very natural and gently bowed, and accepted her apology.

Her casual attitude made the thin curtain suddenly embarrassed, and her little face turned red, but she dared to be angry in front of everyone.

Everyone waited for more than half an hour before they saw Mu Lingzhi striding in, and the whole room hurriedly knelt down and said goodbye, he asked everyone to get up in a deep voice, and sat down under An Lirong's greeting.

The five people on the table, except for An Lirong, saw him for the first time after Mu Lingzhi returned home, and they couldn't help but be a little excited. Gu Qing'er was even more charming, with a pair of charming big eyes showing a full of water, and her eyes looked at him affectionately and resentfully, and her lovely appearance made people feel pity.

Mu Lingzhi was really infected by her appearance, and after sitting down, he gently patted her delicate little hands to show comfort. Gu Qing'er's whole body trembled, she looked at him in disbelief, and in the next second, her hands were wrapped around Mu Lingzhi's hands, and she was unwilling to let go. Yingying's eyes no longer had any resentment, only joy, and she actually shed tears, and her voice choked up: "Your Highness, you... Lost weight. ”

When the other people on the table saw this scene, their faces were darkened, but Kuang Qinqin looked at the dishes and chopsticks in front of him without squinting, and he didn't feel it at all.

From Mu Lingzhi coming in, Yu Ruyan was uneasy. Thinking of the cold and glittering dagger in her chest last night, her heart couldn't stop trembling.

Fortunately, his eyes never fell on her from the time he came in, and her nervous heart calmed down a little.

An Lirong saw the hands openly clasped together on the table, and a trace of obscurity welled up in her heart, Gu Qing'er could be coquettish and invite pets under His Royal Highness, but she couldn't, her identity made her unable to do such an unseemly thing in front of people······

Lowering her eyebrows slightly, she hid the discomfort in her heart, and said softly: "Your Highness, do you want to add another pair of dishes and chopsticks, last night..."

She tactfully reminded Mu Lingzhi whether to give Yu Ruyan a position.

As soon as these words came out, several pairs of eyes looked at the man in it, and Gu Qing'er couldn't help but swallow his throat.

Mu Lingzhi's deep phoenix eyes swept lightly on the faces of everyone on the table, and finally stopped on An Lirong's face, and said with a smile: "Concubine Fang, are there still guests coming?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Lingzhi's answer was obviously that he didn't want to give Yu Ruyan a name.

Not only Gu Qing'er and the others were happy in their hearts, but Yu Ruyan's heart in her throat also returned to her heart peacefully, she never thought how good it was to be a woman who killed people, after last night's incident, his cold-blooded fear made her even more cold, and now, she just wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

An Lirong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and scooped a bowl of pearl soup for Mu Lingzhi, put it on her lips and gently blew it cool before handing it to him, and said softly: "Your Highness, please eat." ”

Gu Qing'er had been occupying Mu Lingzhi's two hands and was reluctant to let go, seeing this, he actually scooped the soup and fed it to him one by one, a pair of big watery eyes looked at the handsome man in front of him affectionately, wishing that all the women in the world were dead, so he left her alone by his side.

Mu Lingzhi usually looks calm and self-assured, but today it is rare to cooperate with her, obediently opening his mouth to let her feed, and looking at her eyes are all doting. He openly favored Gu Qing'er like this, and he saw that the faces of the others became more and more gloomy.

After a breakfast, a few families were happy and a few were sad. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, Yu Ruyan silently turned around and walked towards the garden, where there was still a pile of work waiting to be done.

The thin curtain caught up from behind, a pair of eyes looked at her viciously, and she was angry, she knew that Her Royal Highness didn't care about her, why did she be punished by her mother in the courtyard last night, and apologized to her in front of everyone this morning, it was really a shame and a loss of prestige!

She stretched out her pointed index finger and pointed at the gauze skirt on Yu Ruyan's body, and said coldly: "Take it off!" ”

Yu Ruyan's cold eyes looked indifferently at the capricious person in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel ridiculous. couldn't help but agree to insist on putting this clothes on her, and now she knew that Mu Lingzhi didn't look down on herself at all, and ran in front of her one by one to shout and drink, she really thought she was pinched in the mud.

She clasped her hands on her chest, leaned on the rockery leisurely, and said neatly: "What? In such a hurry to let me take off, do you want to wear my old clothes? ”

The fine curtain never expected that she would be so rampant after being openly disliked by His Royal Highness, and she wanted to go up and tear her mouth with hatred. She smiled angrily and said: "People don't know how to be ugly, I've seen shameless, but I've never seen you so shameless." Do you know what kind of person wears your clothes? ”

"You know, you can't wear a girl like you." Yu Ruyan picked up the tassel on her waist and played with it, and replied to her casually.

"You..." The thin curtain was almost mad, but there was nothing she could do about it, she gritted her teeth to calm down, and sneered: "This girl doesn't talk to you, tell you, it was the side concubine who asked you to return the clothes, do you dare to listen?" ”

"How dare you!" Yu Ruyan smiled coldly and put her hand on her belt: "Does the side concubine want me to take off my clothes here and give it back to her?" She said the word 'here' very seriously, and with that, she began to untie her belt—

Although their location is in the garden, it is not hidden, and there are servants passing by from time to time, and if she is allowed to undress here, it will ruin the reputation of the palace, and I am afraid that the mother will have to blame her for being reckless.

The most important thing is that she is good at making claims, and An Lirong did not let her ask Yu Ruyan for her clothes.

"Stop!" The face of the thin curtain was flushed, and the hand pointing at her was shaking with anger, she was proud of her teeth and sharp mouth, but in the battle with Yu Ruyan, she had never stood on the peak, and she was forced to compromise again and again, how could she endure it, who had always been strong and happy?

"You don't want to be ashamed, the palace still has a face! You go to your room and take it off, and then give it to me. ”

Yu Ruyan glanced at the curtain coldly and said, "Please also ask Sister Curtain to come with me, there are too many things in the garden, I don't have time to run back and forth." ”

Leaving this sentence behind, she ignored the jaw-dropping curtains and walked straight towards her little bungalow. The thin curtain roared behind her: "Cheap embryo, take advantage of good things and refuse to let go." No one wants anything you wear, so you can keep it and wear it slowly. With that, he went back in a huff.

She just wanted to humiliate Yu Ruyan with her clothes, but she didn't expect that people wouldn't eat this set at all, she didn't eat soft and hard, and her skin was thick, and she was defeated again.

Mu Lingzhi really liked Gu Qing'er the most, and she rested in her yard for three nights in a row before going to other people's yards to take a turn, but she never mentioned Yu Ruyan again, as if she didn't remember this person, and let her fend for herself in the South Garden.

The attitude of the people in the mansion towards her has been changing, first when she entered the mansion, she was flattered, then she was disgusted when she knew her identity, and then she was promoted after she went to bed, until finally she was disgusted by His Royal Highness in person, and she was snubbed for several days, and then despised her. Fortunately, she is in a remote place, and she doesn't have to see those people every day, except for cleaning the garden on time every day, there is nothing else, and her life is quite comfortable.

Chen Yanfei stuck to her, followed her every day, no matter how cold she was, she was not annoyed, and said to her innocently and romantically. Yu Ruyan didn't like to take care of her, but for the sake of Uncle Chen and Chen's mother, she couldn't drive her away, so she had to follow her like a tail.

On a sunny day in autumn, lotus flowers bloom on the lake in the palace garden. Early in the morning, An Lan accompanied An Lirong to the lake to enjoy the lotus.

An Lirong's expression has always been depressed, no matter how An Lan and the thin curtain make her happy, she can't lift much spirit.

Of course An Lan knew what she was thinking, it had been more than half a month since His Royal Highness returned home, but His Royal Highness rested in Furong Courtyard all night, and never stepped into Furong Courtyard half a step since then, although An Lirong has a generous and kind temperament, but as long as she is a woman, she will hope to be favored by her husband a little more, not to mention, she still sincerely admires Mu Lingzhi.

In fact, An Lan's heart was even more uncomfortable. When His Royal Highness returned home, he spent most of his time in Gu Qing'er's Ziluo Courtyard, and he couldn't wait to see him come to his own Okra Courtyard through the autumn water, but he just sat down and left, and he didn't eat with her, so how could she feel at ease?

Despite this, she still hid the loss in her heart and accompanied An Lirong to relax, pretending not to care about it on her face, and laughing at An Lirong vigorously, but the bitterness in her heart was like the lake in front of her, and there was no end to it······

At this moment, Shi Shiran walked on the lake embankment in front of her a radiant beauty, wearing the autumn fragrant smoke yarn loose flower skirt that Mu Lingzhi gave her. Comb a nice peach bun on the head, above

The milky white pearl Yingluo she wore hung obliquely on her ears, flashing as she walked, and she was even brighter and more beautiful!

The person who came was none other than Gu Qing'er, who was boundless in love.

As soon as Gu Qing'er entered the garden, she saw the two An people in the pavilion, she looked at An Lirong from a distance and sighed, knowing that His Royal Highness's favor for her during this time made her feel uncomfortable. The more she is like this, the happier Gu Qing'er is in her heart, usually in the mansion, the other concubines dare not provoke her, only An Lirong always relies on her identity to always say that she is unruly here, and unseemly there, in fact, she looks down on her identity as just a merchant. Although she was not convinced, she dared to be angry because of her identity, and now she was sad to see her here, how could she let go of the opportunity to step on her!

Watching Gu Qing'er walk into the pavilion with great brilliance, An Lan's face changed, she was also a concubine, and her outfit was too cold compared to it.

Gu Qing'er stepped forward to salute An Lirong with a smile on her face, and before An Lirong could speak, she sat down by herself, and the little girl who followed her stepped forward and squatted beside her, took out a delicate little jade hammer and gently helped her hit her waist.

An Lirong couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong with my sister?" Not feeling well? ”

Gu Qing'er smiled "poof", raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and said with a smile: "Niangniang really doesn't know or deliberately ridicules me?" After speaking, two red clouds flew on his face, and he lowered his head and said shyly: "Your Highness has been in the army for a long time, and this time you come back, it's really better than a tiger wolf..." Pity my waist, it's about to break! ”

Gu Qing'er said coquettishly and infinitely, while secretly staring at the face of the concubine on the opposite side, and the smug look in her charming eyes was unobstructed.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, An Lirong's face changed greatly, not only her, but also An Lan and all the servant girls who served were shy and red.

An Lirong knew that she had always spoken boldly and without proportion, but she never expected that she would tell all the things about His Royal Highness and her boudoir in public, how could she not be jaw-dropping?

Feeling a flame burning in her heart, An Lirong couldn't tell whether it was anger or jealousy, she only felt that she couldn't wait to beat such a shameless prostitute before she could breathe. However, what made her even more flustered was that listening to Gu Qing'er's words, she suddenly showed in her mind the eagerness that Mu Lingzhi showed to herself that night, and she couldn't help but think of him on Gu Qing'er's bed, and her brain exploded······

An Lan on the side saw An Li's strange appearance, and she didn't say anything to Gu Qing'er's presumptuous remarks, so she hurriedly picked up the fragrant tea on the table and handed it to her. An Lirong hurriedly drank tea to hide her anger, and scolded: "Aunt Gu, I still hope that you are self-respecting, you must not only consider yourself when you speak and do things, but also consider Your Highness's face, don't live up to Your Highness's favor for you!" ”

This time, Gu Qing'er rarely didn't reply, just smiled leisurely, and said in a cool tone: "Niangniang has taught me a lesson, but His Royal Highness said that he likes my virtue, saying that those virtuous and virtuous women look like a wooden stake, and there is no fun at all!" ”

An Lirong's body trembled, and she was about to fall to the ground in anger at her words, An Lan hurriedly supported her on the side, and saw a petite figure on the shore of the lake opposite, and suddenly smiled: "If you want to say that Sister Gu is the most favored by His Royal Highness, before that, I was 100% in agreement, but now... Hehe! ”

How could Gu Qing'er not hear the meaning of her words, her pretty face suddenly froze, and she said coldly: "Do you think there are people who are more liked by His Highness?" Could it be you? The sarcasm in his words was undisguised.

An Lan was not annoyed, and said unhurriedly: "How could it be me, my sister made fun of me." It's just that His Royal Highness didn't recruit his sister to sleep the next day after he returned home, but he did recruit ······" After that, she swallowed the following words, only looked at the figure on the other side with a pair of eyes, and smiled silently.

Everyone couldn't help but follow her gaze to look at the other side, only to see that a petite figure there was busy cleaning the garden, a green silk twisted into an ordinary double snail bun, a green coat is also ordinary, but all this can not hide her natural beauty, I saw her turn back slightly, and her beautiful face made the whole pool of lotus flowers lose color.

Although these days, His Royal Highness has not recruited Yu Ruyan to serve her again, and often stays in her courtyard, but this matter has always made her linger, just like the lantern hanging high at the gate of Yunsong Courtyard that night. At this time, hearing the ridicule in An Lan's words, a smug face suddenly darkened, and the slender jade fingers did not feel that they were pierced into the flesh under the sleeves.

An Lirong also came back to her senses, her face no longer had the panic and loss just now, she replaced her usual gentle smile, and opened her mouth and said slowly: "Actually, I have always had a question in my heart, I feel that His Royal Highness's feelings for Miss Xiaoqing are extraordinary. Think about it, how could His Royal Highness bring back a woman who was born as a military prostitute? I'm afraid that I have intentions in my heart, but it's just that my identity is not good to promote her. Aunt Gu, you say, do you want me to help His Highness relieve this sorrow? ”

As soon as An Lirong's words came out, Gu Qing'er immediately stood up like a fried chicken, she is a person who understands, and the meaning of the concubine's words is very clear, that is, she wants to raise Yu Ruyan and compete with her. And the most important thing is that An Yurong's words are not groundless, Gu Qing'er also realized that His Royal Highness's heart felt extraordinary about this military prostitute brought into the mansion.

Her pretty face turned red, her eyes looked at the two An who were smiling lightly, and she couldn't hold back the uneasiness in her heart and sneered: "Niangniang is really going to have nothing to do." Do you think His Highness will really like it? Don't forget, she was born like that, she just climbed off His Highness's bed and didn't get His Highness's promotion, not to mention that she has been left to dry for so long, it is estimated that His Highness has long forgotten such a lowly person. ”

The more she talked, the more confident she became, and she also understood in her heart that the An family was just jealous of her and was uncomfortable with her, so she couldn't help sneering again: "I advise Niangniang to take care of her own affairs and not to sweep the snow in front of others." ”

Seeing her angry and corrupt appearance, An Lan smiled coldly in her heart, and didn't poke her, but said slowly: "Yes, this relationship is all cultivated." Now that Miss Xiaoqing is far away in the South Garden, it is rare for Her Highness to see her, if she is carried to the courtyard on an errand, and meet His Highness a few more times, it is estimated that His Highness's heart for her will be warm again. After all, her appearance is unmatched in this house, and that man doesn't love freshness or beauty! Are you right, sister? ”

Her sister called at An Lirong, who seemed to really listen to her words, stared seriously and pondered, and said for a moment: "You still watch carefully." In fact, His Royal Highness's heirs are not happy, and every time he enters the palace, the concubine Niangniang has mentioned this matter to me, and intends to let His Royal Highness take a few more concubines to open up branches and leaves for the palace. It's also that I'm confused, and I've always been worried about the identity of Miss Xiaoqing, in fact, as long as His Highness likes it, the identity or not the identity is given by His Highness. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Qing'er panicked, and couldn't even pretend that she didn't care about the disguise on her face, and sat down gloomy, completely changing her complexion.

Although she has grace, she has never been able to conceive a child, which is the biggest pain in her heart. She couldn't understand that she was young and healthy, but she didn't move at all in terms of children. In private, she sought medical treatment and asked for medicine, but to no avail. Although she is arrogant, her brain is not confused at all, she knows the importance of heirs to a woman, and she has no flowers for a hundred days.

Seeing Gu Qing'er's ashen face fall into disarray, An Lirong finally let out a bad breath in her heart. Looking at the growing sun, she no longer bothered with the person opposite, got up and took An Lan's hand and said with a smile: "It's not too early, let's go back." ”

Walking out of the pavilion, Gu Qing'er's cool laughter came from behind him: "Niangniang, please stay, the concubine has something to say!" ”

Gu Qing'er had never called herself a concubine in front of An Lirong, but now seeing that she was rare to be so solemn, An Lirong couldn't help but be suspicious, stopped and slowly turned around.

Three steps away, Gu Qing'er stood with a smug smile on her face, and said word by word: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness got the Taiping Monkey Kui who had just paid tribute, and all of them were given to Ziluo Courtyard. I wanted to have a tea party today, and invited Niangniang and other sisters to taste this rare tea product, but this year's monkey kui is too rare and precious, and even His Royal Highness only got two small cans. Niangniang knows that His Royal Highness loves to drink this tea, so I can't take out the things His Highness likes as favors, and I ask Niangniang to forgive me. ”

She said it eloquently, An Lirong's expression suddenly became embarrassed, it stands to reason that she is the heroine of this mansion, but if Her Royal Highness has any good things, the first one will be taken to the Ziluo Courtyard, which really makes her heart sad.

Gu Qing'er was extremely respectful on her face, as if she couldn't help but owe her, but she was actually stepping on her in a different way, and when she thought of her singing and squeezing her with An Lan just now, she couldn't help but want to pay back well. Yan Yan smiled on his face, but in his heart, he couldn't wait to stab a knife at An Lirong and An Lan.

How could An Lirong not understand the meaning of her words, and said indifferently: "Sister is polite, since His Royal Highness likes to drink this tea, my sister should keep it." ”

She really didn't want to see Gu Qing'er's ugly face anymore, so she pulled An Lan away after saying this, but she didn't expect Gu Qing'er to stop her again, and the following words were even more imposing.

"Good tea with good cups! However, I can't find a good set of tea sets in my yard to match this good tea. I heard His Royal Highness say that there is a set of precious white marble hibiscus flowers in the house, which was personally appreciated by the concubine Niangniang, but I went to the warehouse this morning to ask only to know that this set of utensils was taken out by the mother. Niangniang, you can't use such a good flower pot to make tea, it's a pity not to occupy it, so my sister has the courage to borrow a flower pot from Niangniang for a few days, and try her best to make a few pots of good tea for His Royal Highness, can Niangniang be willing? ”

She said it lightly, and slapped An Lirong's face without concealing between the lines, and Concubine Ren's good temperament was also angered, but Gu Qing'er kept saying that it was for the sake of His Highness, and there was no place for An Lirong's anger to vent.

The fine curtain listened to it on the side and finally couldn't help but speak: "Aunt Gu, this set of utensils is used by the mother to entertain the prince's concubine, and the mother has ordered the slave maid to soak it in spring water and soak it in the juice of a hundred flowers, just wait for the prince's concubine to come to the house as a guest, and take it out to be bright in color and fragrant in the cup." Niangniang spent so much thought, why did you come and rob without saying a word? You ······"

"Heh, it turns out that I don't know that in my mother's heart, my husband is not as deep as sisterhood. Well, it's my extravagant hope, so I won't bother my sister, and I'll ask His Highness for my guilt when I go back. Gu Qing'er stared coldly at the person in front of her, and a fierce color flashed in her charming eyes. Mu Lingzhi has never liked to deal with people in the prince's mansion, if he let Gu Qing'er instigate him in front of him, he is afraid that His Royal Highness will not have a good face for the side concubine in the future.

An Lirong's always peaceful face finally couldn't hold back, and she stared at Gu Qing'er who was arrogant in front of her with a gloomy face, how could a little businesswoman climb on her head like this and spread wild?

After a long time, she spit out a mouthful of turbid breath in her chest, and said quietly: "Aunt Gu misunderstood, no matter how good the sisters are, how can they withstand the love of husband and wife." Oh, isn't it just a set of tableware, why should my aunt make a fuss and make a fuss to His Highness. The flower pot is in my yard, so my aunt has to come and get it. ”

Seeing An Lirong's unwilling appearance, Gu Qing'er raised her eyebrows in her heart, she didn't forget to sell well when she got cheap, and said with a smile: "I did everything for His Royal Highness, don't worry about me." You can rest assured, when the crown princess is a guest, I will definitely return the flowers as they are, and I will never let the lady miss the number of courtesies for hospitality. ”

After speaking, without waiting for An Lirong and her party to leave first, she rushed ahead and Shi Shiran left.

An Lirong's body trembled, fortunately, An Lan on the side quickly supported her, she leaned on An Lan's shoulder and gritted her teeth and said: "See, the honor and disgrace of a woman's life are all given by men, and if you have grace, even if it is just a small concubine, you can go to my head to spread wild······ However, I have no way to take her, who will let her, who will let herself not be angry. She was born in a famous family, a scholarly family, and was taught to be a woman's three from four virtues since she was a child, modest and courteous and tolerant, but these failed to win her husband's heart, and she felt extremely frustrated and disappointed for the first time in her heart, and her face could no longer maintain the strong and plain that she had pretended to be in the past, and a delicate little face was painfully twisted together······

An Lan glanced at the background of Gu Qing'er's gradual distancing and said hatefully: "The demon has his own day to collect, don't care about her, let her go, see how long she can be crazy!" ”

In the afternoon, when Aunt Gu went for a walk in the garden, she slipped and fell due to the undried water, and not to mention her arm, she also broke off a string of green agate beads that His Royal Highness had just given her and fell into the grass, and only found less than sixty of the one hundred and eight······

When Mu Lingzhi heard this, he had just walked into the Ziluo Courtyard, his steps were stagnant, his brows were almost inaudible wrinkles, and he said in a deep voice: "Is it her trouble again?" ”

Tong Qian pursed the corners of his lips and said helplessly: "Isn't it her?" Hey, I was punished by Aunt Gu's family law, and now I'm still kneeling in the garden! ”
