The man became more and more cowardly and didn't dare to speak, but said softly: "The subordinates don't mean this, there is no problem with the candidate, but the things behind this, you also know, the prince has always looked at that person, if the prince comes back and finds out——"

Xiao Nai's expression became more and more cold, and her eyes seemed to be suddenly poisoned by a sharp blade, and she said word by word: "Found? She can't calculate others, so what does it have to do with us dying in the palace? Or do you have no Miss Ben in your eyes, and you don't have me, the concubine of the virtuous king? ”

The man hurriedly knelt down and said, "The subordinates don't dare, so the subordinates will arrange—"

Seeing him like this, Xiao Nai's expression eased slightly. waved his hand and said: "You secretly got through the relationship, as for the candidate, I will send it to you at that time." ”

Where did the man dare to say another word, and he hurriedly answered, and then withdrew.

Xiao Nai's hand clamped tightly on the chair under him, and said in a deep voice: "He Xi, since this is the case, don't blame me, I really can't leave you." ”

Lan Xin secretly sent a lot of eyeliner to stare at He Qing and his wife, but when she looked horizontally and vertically, she couldn't see any signs, Zipei pulled the handkerchief angrily in her room, and said angrily: "No, I clearly heard their words that day, why can't I find out the slightest suspicion?" ”

She was about to crush her silver teeth, she only hated He Xi for being cunning, and now she was not trusted by the concubine, she was entangled, and suddenly thought of something, she stood up and walked quickly outside, but she didn't want to go outside, so she was stopped by He Xi, He Xi said with a smile: "Zipei, you don't serve by the eldest prince's side, what are you going to do?" ”

Zipei didn't even have time to put away the eagerness on her face, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Slave maid-I'm about to serve by the eldest prince's side-"

He Xi didn't want to listen to her explanation at all, so he bypassed her side and walked into her room, followed by Ruyi, and closed the door.

Zipei was so frightened that the six gods were gone, and stammered: "Niangniang-you are-"

The enamel armor on He Xi's fingers knocked on the desk with a crisp sound, and she sighed and said, "What are you doing on your knees, get up and take a look at the palace-"

Zipei didn't know what medicine He Xi bought in her throat, so she had to get up obediently, hanging her head and not daring to look at her.

He Xi saw that she was slender, but she shrunk her shoulders like this, and she didn't lose her temperament in vain, so she had to say quietly: "Before Zijin said, you were selected by the queen to serve the eldest prince, and the palace is grateful for the queen's kindness, and is polite to you and Zijin, but now that the queen is grounded by His Majesty, Zijin and I look at it, they all look preoccupied, but it's you, as if nothing happened——"

Zipei's heart was like a little rabbit, jumping wildly, she said timidly: "Although Zipei and her sister are twin sisters, but Zipei is different from her sister, Zipei entered this Lingxiu Palace, is the slave of this Lingxiu Palace, what she cares about in her heart is the lord of Lingxiu Palace, as for others, even if it is the queen's mother, the grace is not there, and it has nothing to do with the slave maid." ”

Her words were not leaky, and they were also very flattering, He Xi smiled and said: "Originally, this palace thought that your sister was a thoughtful person, but she didn't want to really have an idea, it was you-"

Her words can't be heard from praise or disapproval, it seems that they are just simple comments, but Zipei's heart is difficult to hide her pride, indeed, no matter who it is, she has always seen her sister's gentleness and general knowledge, not her own intelligence and cleverness, but Hui Guifei saw her strengths and bought her, so she only thought about doing things for Hui Guifei, and she would one day prove that she was much better than Zijin who didn't know how much.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and said slowly: "Niangniang is too famous-"

He Xi glanced at her faintly and said, "In this way, this palace can rest assured that the matter will be handed over to you." Ruyi, give her something-"

Ruyi responded, and handed over the things in the hands of the little maid on the side to Zi Pei's hands, Zi Pei opened it to see, only to see that in the brocade box, there was a hookah long skirt, and there was no embroidery for a while, but the bottom of the skirt was impregnated with ink to dye the landscape map, vast and magnificent, the atmosphere was awe-inspiring, but it was placed on the extremely soft hookah satin, rigid and soft, there was a different style, just a look, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

She looked at He Xi and said, "What does Niangniang mean—"

He Xi stroked her abdomen, although it was still flat, but her eyes were soft and faintly worried: "You also know that this palace can't sleep after pregnancy, and it's just in the past, but since this palace has climbed all the way to this position today, everything must be more careful——"

Her eyes swept on Zi Pei's body, so that the eyes full of deep meaning made Zi Pei's heart ecstatic, and she hurriedly said: "Niang Niang is deeply favored by His Majesty, how can there be a bad pool——"

He Xi said with a regretful expression: "The years are fleeting, and now the queen is grounded, and Concubine Hui is pregnant, so she can't sleep without one, this palace wants to push you——"

These words have been said very clearly, Zipei's face turned red, and he looked at He Xi timidly and said: "However, the slave maid is from a humble background - and she is only a shallow learner, and the slave and maid are worried that they will not be able to get the favor of His Majesty, and they will not be able to share their worries for the mother." ”

He Xi said suddenly: "You can rest assured, if you talk about knowledge in the palace, there are few who can compare to the queen and Hui Guifei, but the rest of the people have their own brilliance, and you naturally have yours." ”

He Xi slowly got up and walked in front of Zi Pei, his fingers slowly crossed Zi Pei's smooth jaw, as if selecting goods, Zi Pei only felt that the gentle fingers seemed to be a poisonous snake spitting letters, swimming around his neck, breathing a little shorter, He Xi breathed like an orchid, and said in her ear: "Because you are a slave, you don't have to hold your own identity, in fact, it is very good, but she regards herself too much as a master, there are some methods, she has disdained to use them, it is precisely because of this that she gives you a chance, Just remember that you're a woman, and Your Majesty is a man, and you can do the rest—"

Her voice was bewitching, little by little aroused the desire and ambition in Zipei's eyes, her smile climbed to the corner of her lips little by little, and she smiled coquettishly: "Xie Niangniang, the slave must not be what I want." ”

He Xi asked people to leave the ink-colored landscape smoke skirt and left. Leaving only Zipei who was ecstatic in her heart, she stood in front of the bronze mirror, comparing the clothes to herself, infinitely happy, and naturally forgot what she wanted to do before.

On the other side, He Qing and Luo are about to leave the palace, He Xi has been making a soft sedan chair because of His Majesty's permission, and sent the two out of the palace gate, but they can't send it anymore, so they can only get off the soft sedan chair, and the two are reluctant, Luo took He Xi's hand and carefully told the woman the precautions during pregnancy, like a mother, and He Qing just rightly brought a bit of worry, as for what he was worried about, maybe only he knew.

After the two left, a little eunuch stepped forward obediently and said attentively: "Concubine Xi, the weather is cold, and the slave comes to open the curtain for Niangniang." ”

He Xi looked at him and said, "What's your name?" It's very clever. ”

The little eunuch smiled more and more flatteringly, and said, "The slave is called Fude—the mother carefully walks her feet." ”

He Xi nodded, held his hand, and got into the soft sedan chair. Ruyi smiled gratefully and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”

Forde hurriedly replied, "This is what a minion should do." ”

Ruyi leaned over lightly and followed the soft sedan car away. After Fu watched He Xi walk away, the smile in his eyes faded little by little, and then ran from the path that no one paid attention to on the side in the direction of Luhua Palace.

He Xi didn't know why, so he got on the soft sedan chair, and he felt heavy and drowsy.

She was puzzled in her heart, her symptoms of drowsiness due to pregnancy had improved a lot, but she didn't know why she was so sleepy, she felt a little strange, and hurriedly called Ruyi and said, "Ruyi-Ruyi-"

Ruyi heard He Xi's anxious voice, and hurriedly said: "Stop the sedan chair, stop the sedan chair - Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

The soft sedan car stopped on the edge of the long street, Ruyi helped He Xi, who was unsteady in his steps, out of the soft sedan chair, and the bleak autumn wind lay on his face, He Xi felt as if he was a little clearer, but before he could speak, he heard a sharp cry coming from the top of his head.

Ruyi subconsciously looked over, only to see two dark wild cats, I don't know when they appeared on the top of the palace wall, is looking at the few people below, the cry is sharp and ugly, like a baby's cry, uneasy, He Xi's feet are weak, half of the weight of the body is pressed on Ruyi's body, the two wild cats seem to be attracted by something, step by step in the direction of He Xi, Ruyi commanded to the people around: "Quickly drive the wild cat away, don't let it pounce on Niangniang." ”

The little eunuch who carried the sedan chair heard Ruyi say this, and immediately pulled out a sedan pole, lifted it and hit the wild cat, I don't know if the little eunuch's actions angered the wild cat in estrus, or for what reason, I saw the two black shadows scurrying up, and the posture was flexible to bypass the attack, and then the body twisted, and then rushed in the direction of He Xi, He Xi's feet were weak, and he couldn't move at all, the palace people next to him were in a mess, and someone shouted loudly: "Protect Niangniang——"

Ruyi's hand pulled He Xi to death, and he protected He Xi's outside, but where is the cat's agility in people's movements, just a few verticals, and the cat pounced towards He Xi, at this time, a palace beauty in plain clothes appeared in front of He Xi, blocking the cat with her body, but she herself was caught by the cat, she screamed in pain, and fell to the ground on the side.
