Hua Xiyan turned around and saw a young woman coming with a backlight.

The followers knelt down and saluted together, and Hua Xiyan saw the skirt that was more than three feet long and procrastinating in front of him and stopped.

"Get up." Hua Xiyan was helped up by a pair of arms.

"Concubine Wan came in such a hurry, is she afraid that this girl will be embarrassed by the palace?" Empress Li spoke very bluntly, not as hypocritical and aggrieved as she did to Hua Xiyan just now, which made Hua Xiyan a little surprised.

"How dare the concubine have such an idea, but I heard that Miss Wang Er entered the palace today, and specially prepared a table of meals, and it was about to be cold, and no one was seen yet, I didn't hear that it was here in Niangniang, so I came to take a look." Concubine Xiao Wan smiled slightly and saluted to Li Houfu.

If it is said that Empress Li is the noble and inviolable peony national color, then Concubine Xiao Wan is a gorgeous but relaxed moon season, beautiful but not sharp, although she is the most favored concubine of the emperor, she never overshadows the queen's limelight.

"If the two families of King Xiao really get along, the palace will also be happy for the emperor." Empress Li raised her head and stroked the red gold bracelet on her arm, and said slowly.

Hua Xiyan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, Emperor Tianlong was very suspicious, and what he hated was the faction between the families, and Empress Li's such a light sentence raised Concubine Xiao Wan's rise to the height of family relations, if Emperor Tianlong knew, I was afraid that it would not be good for Concubine Xiao Wan.

Concubine Xiao Wan's beautiful eyes flashed with a flash of light very quickly, but there was no superfluous expression on her face, obviously she was accustomed to such a difficult situation as Empress Li, so she laughed slowly: "What is the queen mother, since we are palace concubines, we are royal people, every move represents the royal demeanor, no matter how the Xiao family is, it is also a foreign family." The concubine entertaining Miss Wang Er is to give a courtesy for the emperor, and if Miss Wang Er enters the palace for the first time, if there is a number of rudenesses, wouldn't it make all the people in the world see a joke? ”

Half of this was left and half of it was said, and the half left was that if Hua Xiyan had something wrong with Empress Li here today or suffered a little grievance, it would be the entire royal family that would be ashamed. For Empress Li, what will the emperor think of her at that time?

It seems that this Concubine Xiao Wan is not a good stubble, Hua Xiyan thought, otherwise she would not have been favored under the nose of Empress Li, and she has not been removed for so many years.

"Concubine Wan has always been humble and polite, and she has never been so sharp and sharp as she is today. It seems that this second Miss Wang has the heart of a concubine. ”

"The concubine just said the facts and reasoned, if the mother felt that the concubine was sharp-toothed because of this, the concubine had nothing to say. The emperor likes Miss Wang Er, and the concubines love the emperor, love the house and Wu, so naturally they have to take special care of Miss Wang Er. Concubine Xiao Wan immediately spoke, and although the words she said softly and softly did not have the momentum of Empress Li, the meaning of this should not be underestimated.

Hua Xiyan secretly wanted to laugh, thinking that she didn't think Emperor Tianlong liked her. However, in the eyes of outsiders, how can a person who can stand in the queen's bedroom and gossip after blatantly resisting the decree not be the emperor's heart?

Now this matter happened to be used by Concubine Xiao Wan to block Empress Li's mouth, which is reasonable.

Unconsciously, Empress Li's troubles with Hua Xiyan have turned into a contest between the two palace concubines.

Yang Jinrong opened a pair of big apricot eyes on the side, listened carefully, and there was an extremely obvious puzzled look in his eyes, how could he not figure out how the conversation between the two was Sister Hua for a while, and the family for a while, and now it was on the emperor again?

"Concubine Wan is really the emperor's interpretation flower, and she even knows the emperor's thoughts clearly." Li Hou sat up straight, and a hint of uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

This Concubine Xiao Wan has almost always been gentle and gentle, where has she ever been so-for-tat? I really don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, it turned out that there were so many twists and turns in this person's heart.

"As the emperor's concubine, if you don't even know the emperor's preferences, wouldn't you lose your duty?" Concubine Xiao Wan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her guessing the holy will, she just felt that it was her duty to make the emperor feel at ease, relaxed, and listen to what she said.

was so blocked by Concubine Xiao Wan, Empress Li was not annoyed, just smiled and nodded: "What Concubine Wan said is extremely true, this palace should learn from you." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the weaving mandarin duck walking out of the inner room, and whispered to Queen Li: "Niangniang, the imperial doctor has come to ask for peace and security." ”

Empress Li nodded, stood up with the support of Xiuyan, and said to a eunuch standing at the door: "Someone will send Miss Yang out of the palace." ”

After that, he was stuck with Huaxi smoke again: "Second Miss Wang, you want to taste the meal specially prepared for you by Concubine Wan, don't say that my royal family has treated you badly." ”

Knowing that the queen's delicate figure disappeared behind the glass bead curtain, several people turned around and exited the main hall.

Yang Jinrong always wanted to step forward and say something to Hua Xiyan, but when she saw Concubine Xiao Wan intimately pulling Hua Xiyan to talk, she had to say it, thinking that it would be better to go to the palace to play with Sister Hua in person another day, she and Concubine Xiao Wanyan were not familiar with each other.

Concubine Xiao Wan is a very kind person, even if she was-for-tat with Empress Li just now, her tone was calm and calm from beginning to end, and now she pulled Hua Xiyan and spoke in a low voice, as if a gentle and gentle little hand passed through people's hearts, which sounded very comfortable.

"A few days ago, my sister wrote to me, saying that you came to the capital and knew that you were going to enter the palace, so I asked me to take good care of you."

Hua Xiyan knew that Concubine Xiao Wan was talking about her second sister-in-law, Xiao Yerong, and said with a shallow smile: "The second sister-in-law is kind and very good to the courtiers, and the courtiers are really grateful." ”

"You don't have to be so angry with me, Xi'er always told me about you when she came back before, and I was still thinking about how a good girl could go crazy with him, until I saw that you were not as restrained and cowering as an ordinary woman in the Luohuang Palace just now, so I really felt that you were different from ordinary people." Concubine Xiao Wan patted Hua Xiyan's hand, suddenly her gaze became distant, and she sighed and said, "You are the second lady of the Wang family, and you are also fate...... If she's still ...... Alas......"

I didn't quite understand what Concubine Xiao Wan's intermittent words were talking about, and Hua Xiyan didn't know how to persuade her, but fortunately, a palace maid who followed next to her saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why did Niangniang start to sigh again?" Thinking that the queen was blocked by the mother just now and couldn't say a word, the slave maid felt relieved, and the feng shui took turns, and it was finally no longer her to embarrass others. ”

Concubine Xiao Wan glanced at the palace maid and snorted lightly: "Do you think that Fang Cai's battle was won by this palace?" ”

"Naturally, the mother won, win decent!" The palace maid did not hesitate to speak, and there was a suspicion of slapping the horse.

Concubine Xiao Wan suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at the palace maid: "How long have you been with me?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, it's been seven years."

"It's been seven years." Concubine Xiao Wan looked up at the sky not far away, and her tone became profound and long, "The Huanyi Bureau has been short of people recently, you can go there to help." ”

"Mother?" The palace maid raised her head in disbelief, as if she didn't know that she was wrong in what she said, why was she demoted to the Huanyi Bureau?

Concubine Xiao Wan obviously didn't plan to say anything more, but just waved her hand behind her slightly, and two strong grandmothers came up and dragged the palace maid who was constantly struggling.

Concubine Xiao Wan turned her head to look at Hua Xiyan who was half a step behind her, and asked, "Yan'er knows why this palace belittles her?" ”

Hua Xiyan lowered his head slightly and spit out two words: "Gaffe." ”

Concubine Xiao Wan stared at Hua Xiyan for a moment, and sighed slightly: "You don't tell the truth to this palace, it's ......."

After that, he walked in the direction of Jinxia Palace, and did not talk to Hua Xiyan as enthusiastically as he did just now.

Hua Xiyan followed behind him, and his slightly lowered beautiful eyes also contained a little sad helplessness. She admittedly knew that Concubine Xiao Wan was going to Luohuang Palace for her, and she knew that she really wanted to treat herself well for the relationship between her second sister-in-law, but she was used to being vigilant, and she didn't have half a minute to open her heart and say anything to a very favored concubine who had just met.

For example, she naturally knew that the palace maid was demoted not only because of her gaffes, but also because she had been with Concubine Xiao Wan for seven years but did not understand what her master was thinking. In the battle between Concubine Xiao Wan and Empress Li just now, it seemed that Empress Li had lost on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, it was Concubine Xiao Wan who lost more.

Over the years, although Concubine Xiao Wan has been extremely favored, she has restrained her light and blade, and she has survived in this deep palace. But now she has shown her edge to Empress Li, she is not a mediocre and cowardly woman, she is witty and open-minded, discerning the pros and cons, especially with a mature son, these points add up, enough for her to set herself on fire.

Empress Li asked Hua Xiyan to go today, naturally not for gossip. She has thousands of ways to make things difficult for her. If Hua Xiyan resists a little, the consequences will be unimaginable just by virtue of the identity of a young lady of the family. Therefore, Concubine Xiao Wan had no other way than to be like this just now.

It is false to say that you are not moved. But the secret competition between concubines has always been a topic of secrecy, even if Concubine Xiao Wan asked just now, Hua Xiyan couldn't say it.

Looking at Concubine Xiao Wan's obviously lonely back, Hua Xiyan sighed slightly, and was out of her mind when she suddenly heard Ning Xi shouting: "Be careful!" Then Hua Xiyan felt something hit her hard, and she staggered back a few steps before she could stand firmly.

When I looked at the map, I saw that it was a little girl who was not very old, dirty, pinching the corners of her clothes uneasily because she had collided with others, frowning, and looking like she would cry the next moment.

How can there be wild children in the palace? Before Hua Xiyan could ask a question, he saw an obese palace maid rushing out next to him, raised the branch in his hand and pumped it towards the little girl, scolding in his mouth: "Kill you little bastard!" Let you run for the old lady again! ”

The little girl cried out loudly, ran to the side to dodge, and coldly stepped on the long skirt of Concubine Xiao Wan and tripped to the ground, and her knees and elbows wiped out a long blood mark in an instant.

Seeing that the branch in Mama's hand was about to fall on the little girl, Hua Xiyan was about to make a move, when she saw Concubine Xiao Wanfei stretch out her arm to block it.

Concubine Xiao Wan ignored the pain in her arm, squatted down and looked at the little girl, and exclaimed for a while: "Are you Rongqi?" ”
