Wang Xizi heard movement in the inner room, as if the concubine and Bi Lan were talking something confidant, and they didn't dare to go in for a while. Tired, Su Wanrong waited in the courtyard for a while. The voice gradually fell, and the inner room returned to its usual quietness, and Su Wanrong exhaled faintly: "Father-in-law Lao has passed a word for the palace." ”

The voice of the pure concubine is tactful and pleasant, and it must be heard in the inner room. Wang Xizi smiled and said: "How dare a slave be a pure concubine and say 'father-in-law', Lao Niangniang will later, and the slave will go to inform the concubine Niangniang." ”

Sure enough, Bi Lan heard the movement outside the door and Wang Xizi's communication, and hurriedly wiped away the tears on Concubine Hui's face. "Please concubine Chun later, let the slave maid change a dress for the concubine." lowered her voice, and Bi Lan softly attached her ear: "The slave maid thinks that if the pure concubine comes at this time, there will be nothing good for her." The mother has to deal with it carefully. ”

Gao Lingxi nodded, and Bi Lan changed a light purple flag outfit for her, and made up the powder, before she was finally satisfied. "Please come in."

Su Wanrong said to Xue Lan: "Follow your sister Bilan to the ear room to chat for a while, this palace has not said something considerate to the concubine for a long time." After that, she greeted Concubine Hui lightly: "Come here at this time, disturb the purity of the mother." ”

Gao Lingxi remained silent, and only turned her dry eyes that had cried: "In the past, the third elder brother was raised in the palace, and it was understandable that the pure concubine often came to visit. But since the third elder brother returned to the elder brother's institute and followed the master to morning classes every day, Concubine Chun didn't come to Chuxiu Palace very often, and which gust of wind blew her sister here today? ”

The rough maid served the fragrant tea, turned around and retreated. Wang Xizi cleverly closed the door of the inner bed, retreated ten steps outside the door, and waited for the summons of the concubine.

The inner room was quiet all of a sudden, and Su Wanrong slowly smiled: "Hearing what Niangniang said, concubines are not welcome?" ”

"Welcome or not, isn't Concubine Chun here too? You and I are the most gentle and gentle in front of the emperor, but now that the emperor is not in Chuxiu Palace, we can't show each other to each other. It's better to be open and honest and have something to say. I have been smiling for a long time, and my face is tight. Gao Lingxi's tone was subdued and frustrated, which was particularly good.

Su Wanrong couldn't help but smile, and she should be again and again. "It's not that the concubine wants to put on a show in front of the concubine, but after doing this for a long time, it naturally becomes a temperament. It is inevitable to carry it. When she raised her face, Su Wanrong's eyes were more unwilling: "Niangniang, do you know, why did the emperor come so timely today?" ”

Originally, Gao Lingxi thought that Concubine Xian secretly had a mind and sent someone to invite the emperor to come over. can see the meaning of Concubine Chun's words, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart: "What do you mean, someone deliberately helped Concubine Xian, so he invited the emperor to come over?" ”

"Niangniang is wise, the concubine has a little word, and you can be regarded as having a number in your heart." Su Wanrong sighed: "We all thought that the queen was cruel to Concubine Xian, but after all, she still helped Concubine Xian." And doing it so well that we thought it was the emperor himself who had compassion for Concubine Xian. It doesn't matter if the pine smoke ink or the ink is not at all, the important thing is that the emperor is unwilling to humiliate the concubine, only if the queen is for the sake of harem harmony, she cleverly avoids trouble for her, and the queen is lenient and benevolent inside and out. It's hard for us, and I thought I could watch a good show. ”

Because Hui Guifei has always liked the rich and strong smell, there is some osmanthus incense burning in the inner bed, but people can't feel the mellow fragrance of tea. Su Wanrong took a sip, then put down the teacup casually, only stared at the gilded incense burner with the peacock open, watched the green smoke slowly, and sighed lowly.

Gao Lingxi saw the loss in her heart, and disagreed: "If the queen really does not leak, how can you let Concubine Chun find out and come to me to report the news?" Or did Concubine Chun forget, the word 'cholera' in Queens will put you in prison, and it is called recuperation, but in fact, it is no different from grounding. In the end, it is the queen's mercy, otherwise this son, Concubine Chun, you are still guarding your crippled body in the Zhongcui Palace. Why did you get better and let people out, but you didn't dare to read the queen's good, but you said all the cool things here in the palace? ”

Su Wanrong's eyebrows jumped, and she hurriedly got up and knelt in front of Concubine Hui: "The reason why the concubine was able to walk out of Zhongcui Palace was not because the queen was moved by compassion and let the concubine out generously and mercifully. On the contrary, the concubine knew that Concubine Hui had helped a lot. Because of this, the concubine was grateful for the kindness of her mother and did not dare to forget it. ”

To Concubine Shanghui's eyes, Su Wanrong only had gratitude and humility in her eyes, she frowned coldly, and sighed infinitely: "In the heart of the queen, she doesn't like concubines to the extreme. How can the concubine not keep more eyes on it and take better precautions. It was this delicate and meticulous credit that the concubine found out that it was Xue Guining who revealed some rumors when she invited the emperor to Changchun Palace.

So much so that when the emperor came, he sent out the rough maids of Xianfu Palace without saying a word. This time it was a fluke for the concubines, and they could secretly investigate the matter, otherwise the queen's thoughts would not be easy to guess. ”

"Come on, get up and speak." In Gao Lingxi's cold gaze, a trace of curiosity flashed slightly.

"Xie Guifei Niangniang." Su Wanrong got up respectfully and slowly returned to Fang Cai's seat.

"Do you know how the third elder brother has been by the palace's side during these days, how the palace has worked hard to raise him?" Gao Lingxi gasped, and couldn't help but think of Yongzhang's heart-rending cry and the sound of smashing objects. My brain hurt again.

Su Wanrong bowed her head guiltily: "It's okay to discipline the concubines, but Yongzhang is stubborn and unruly, and the silhouettes of the nursing mother are all told to each other." Thanks to Niangniang's good temperament, she will not let Yongzhang get into trouble, and the concubine is very grateful. ”

"Needless to say, it's so nice. You and I both understand that Yongzhang sent to Chuxiu Palace is just a move by the queen to contain me and you. For the sake of stability, I have to think of ways to release you from the cold Zhongcui Palace. To put it bluntly, I don't really help you, and I don't ask you to receive this kindness. Gao Lingxi confessed tightly.

"In the past, in the mansion, you and I didn't have any formality, it was just a friendship of meeting and nodding. If you come to Chuxiu Palace to talk to me today in order to repay your kindness, you don't have to. This palace is used to being alone, and I don't expect others to give advice and do my best. ”

Su Wanrong's calm chin bowed, but she didn't mean to leave, but lowered her posture more and more: "Niangniang misunderstood the concubine." The concubine is here to repay the favor. ”

"Oh?" Gao Lingxi's eyes rolled and he glanced at her lightly.

"It's not so much to repay the favor, but to say that the concubine wants to borrow the kindness of the mother, and it is more appropriate to cling to the protection of the mother." Su Wanrong's little bird is extremely cute according to people, and her delicate posture really makes people feel pity. "The queen doesn't want to see her concubines, it's the concubines' incompetence and stupidity. It is a trivial matter for the concubine to not go out in Zhongcui Palace, but she is really afraid that the queen will take away the concubine's Yongzhang with a word.

Our mother and son, whether it is a blessing or a curse, are always pinched in the palms of others. The noble concubine Niangniang is graceful and noble, how can she know what it is like to tremble. But the concubine has a sense of arrogance in her heart, and she is unwilling to give in to her fate. But looking at the palace, the only one who can compete with the queen is you, the concubine. The concubines cheekily begged for shelter from their mothers, one for themselves, and the other for their mothers.

Even though the mother is wise, she is also isolated. If you don't dislike the stupidity of your concubines, you can keep your concubines by your side and drive them to work. It's better than fighting one against two, watching the queen and Concubine Xian join forces, while wooing the emperor, and suppressing your grace. ”

The last few words were the words that entered Gao Lingxi's heart. She tried her best, just hoping that the queen and Concubine Xian would have a disagreement, even if the queen has always been indifferent to herself, as long as she spoils Concubine Xian's grace, then everything will be easy to do. But who knows why, she always makes mistakes, these two people obviously have thousands of grudges, but they can't break up.

"Concubine Chun has a heart." Gao Lingxi finally smiled slowly: "How can you be stupid." At that time, there were so many concubines, gege, or handmaidens in the palace, but they couldn't give birth to heirs safely. You are the only one who won a good fortune and gave birth to the third elder brother for the emperor. Think about the late Concubine Zhe, although she is also the daughter of the Fucha clan, but after all, she only gave birth to her brother, but she did not enjoy the life of her brother. ”

Su Wanrong understood the wit in Concubine Hui's words, and said obediently: "How can the queen mother allow the heirs of others to be the eldest son of the emperor." It's just a matter of time. That concubine is stupid and stupid, of course it is easy to get rid of. At present, there are no children in the middle palace, maybe the queen will want to raise the eldest brother under her knees. Without the stumbling blocks of Concubine Zhe, it is as easy as a snap. ”

Gao Lingxi smiled knowingly: "Although Yongzhang is a little naughty, he pays attention to filial piety in the end. For the sake of your mother's life to be better, he didn't lose any sense of proportion in front of the Queen Mother. For this, Hongu likes him. Concubine Chun, you have more hope than this palace. If Yongzhang can ...... in the future, Your good life is not over. ”

Her heart tightened, Su Wanrong got up suddenly, and knelt in front of Concubine Hui again: "Yongzhang has been raised in Chuxiu Palace for a long time, and he is loved by Concubine Hui Gui Niang's motherly kindness, how dare you forget such a motherly kindness." The concubine must teach Yongzhang to regard the mother as a concubine, and if there is a future interest, she will definitely repay the kindness of the former mother. ”

"Look at you, are your knees inlaid with copper plates, and you are not afraid of getting hurt when you kneel at every turn." The more beautiful Gao Lingxi's smile was, the more cold his heart became: "What is repaying kindness or not, as long as you are of one heart and one mind with this palace, it is the best." ”
