Chapter 786: The Best News
Concubine Xiang's New Year can be described as bleak, when others were guarding the New Year in Weiyang Palace, she threw things in Fengle Palace, and when others had fallen asleep after the New Year, she tore books in Fengle Palace.
The hall was in a mess, she was almost going crazy, none of the palace maids dared to approach, Yan Ling knew that she was grounded by Cang Rinchen today, and she was angry, if she bothered at this time, she would definitely be divided into five horses like that ceramic and that book!
So she could only stand at the door of the temple, listening to the sound in the temple, her eyebrows full of worry.
As she was in the middle of nowhere, she suddenly saw a lamp shining in the courtyard, it was a lantern, and she fixed her eyes to see that the person was walking towards the main hall.
The figure gradually became clear, it was a woman she had never met, with a delicate face wearing the clothes of a palace maid, standing in front of her and asking, "Niangniang can be in the palace?" β
Yan Ling Mu nodded sneeringly, she knew very well that the person who came was not from Fengle Palace at all.
Jin Xing listened and pushed the door open, and a black object smashed towards her, she quickly flashed, and Yan Ling was terrified when she looked at it.
"Mother, it's me." Jin Xing frowned, raised her feet and walked in, looked at Concubine Xiang angrily, and immediately saw that the expression of the person who came softened slightly.
"What are you doing here?" Concubine Xiang's tone was cold, she didn't want to see anyone at this time, Cang Linchen was too eccentric, obviously it wasn't her fault, she was grounded for three days without asking anything!
This is the New Year, she is going to be grounded in Fengle Palace in the new year, what do the people in the palace say about her, how should she go out to meet people in the future?
Jin Xing looked at Jin Xing waiting at the entrance of the hall, cautiously closed the door, and then approached her and said, "Niangniang, why did you lose your temper here alone on Chinese New Year's Eve, but who angered Niangniang?" β
"You're here to mock Hongu?" Concubine Xiang glared at her angrily, she didn't know in the palace that the news of her grounding had been spread.
Jin Xing smiled and said nothing, she naturally knew that there was a conflict between Xia Yinhuan and Concubine Xiang, but Concubine Xiang was also stupid, and the reason why she was grounded was also self-inflicted.
Obviously at a disadvantage and don't know how to converge, sooner or later she won't be able to gain a foothold in the palace, Jin Xing knows, Cang Rinchen wanted to kill her, or Xia Yinhuan helped her ask for a favor, but she also knew that Xia Yinhuan didn't really help Concubine Xiang.
"What the hell am I doing, you say?" Concubine Xiang calmed down her anger slightly, sat on the chair and looked at Jin Xing and asked, Jin Xing will not come to Fengle Palace for no reason, there must be something.
Since Ling'er had an accident, and no one had anyone to connect with Jin Xing, she couldn't trust Yanling, and Jin Xing would naturally come to Fengle Palace in person.
Jin Xing smiled lightly, and didn't treat herself as an outsider, she sat down in another chair without hesitation, and then said: "The slave heard a good news and a bad news, should the mother hear the good news first, or the bad news first?" β
Concubine Xiang frowned, listening to Jin Xing's sloppy eyes with herself, she was a little displeased, and said coldly: "Just say anything about it, don't sell it." β
She is not in the mood to deal with Jin Xing now, the anger in her abdomen is about to burn her internal organs into powder, if it is not Jin Xing, she will be furious.
Jin Xing is still very useful to her, and it is not easy to arrange a person by Cang Rinchen's side, but fortunately, Jin Xing can be used by her.
"Niang Niang is in such a hurry!" Jin Xing laughed, touched the bridge of her nose with her fingers for a while, and said slowly: "Actually, the news has not been confirmed, the slave maid just heard that Niangniang also has an elder brother named Qiu Lianke, but is there such a thing?" β
As soon as Concubine Xiang heard the name Qiu Lianke, Huo Di stood up and asked nervously, "Where did you hear that?" β
At that time, she lived with her mother and traveled around, while his brother was far away in Jiangzhou, and he usually only contacted by letter, and he hadn't met for a long time.
She never mentioned that she had an older brother, and she had never told anyone about it, and she was naturally nervous when she was suddenly mentioned by Jin Xing.
"Don't be so surprised, the slave heard about it from His Majesty." Jin Xing happened to hear Cang Rinchen mention it, so she thought about asking Concubine Xiang to confirm.
If she really has an older brother, it is undoubtedly the best news for Concubine Xiang.
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Xiang was puzzled, "What did Your Majesty say when you mentioned the elder brother of this palace?" β
Although she has no contact with her brother Pingsuri, her brother loves her very much, and she is afraid that what she does will affect her brother, which is undoubtedly the worst news!
"Niangniang, don't be nervous, the slaves and maids have said that it is good news and bad news." Jin Xing said and looked at the osmanthus cake on the table, so she picked it up casually and stuffed one in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and her voice was a little blurred: "I heard that Your Majesty and the minister mentioned that they wanted to appoint their mother's brother, but Your Majesty has not yet made a decision." β
"What?" Concubine Xiang was even more stunned, she knew that Qiu Lianke was a scholar, but she didn't expect that his reputation could reach Cang Rinchen's ears.
Her thoughts were a little confused, what Jin Xing said, that means that her brother will enter the court as an official and become a person in the dust.
"Isn't the mother happy about this? Maybe it's a turning point. Jin Xing was always smiling, but in the eyes of Concubine Xiang, she looked like a smiling tiger.
That's right, if Qiu Lianke enters Beijing as an official, it will indeed help her a lot, and if she is in the palace, if she is backed by the power of the court, it will be of great help compared to the battle in the harem.
It's just that Jin Xing also said that Cang Linchen has not yet made a decision, which means that he doesn't know if Qiu Lianke will really enter the court as an official.
"Hongu has always been strange, why are you helping Hongu?" Concubine Xiang looked at Jin Xing, she looked lovely even as a concubine, but she was willing to be her own eyeliner.
You must know that a companion is like a companion tiger, how can Jin Xing help her If she is discovered by Cang Rinchen, her life will definitely be in danger, and she risked her life to be her eyeliner, and her motives are a little impure.
I heard that the Jin family is not poor, it used to be the home of important ministers in the court, although it later declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Concubine Xiang does not believe that she can be bought with a little gold and silver treasure.
"If the mother can trust me, she will continue to believe in the slave and maid, and if she can't believe it, the slave and the maid will end here, and the well water will not interfere with the river water from now on." A faint light flashed in Jin Xing's eyes, and her tone was cold.
Concubine Xiang looked at her in a daze, Ling'er also told her this sentence, she finally believed that Ling'er appointed Ling'er, but Jin Xing was the person next to Cang Linchen after all, she was a little undecided, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not!
Seeing that Concubine Xiang was silent, Jin Xing slowly stood up, brushed away the crumbs of the osmanthus cake stuck to the cuffs, and glanced at Concubine Xiang obliquely with a stunned snort and said, "Niangniang didn't believe in the slave, so the slave and maid retired." β
She never reluctantly believes in her more than others, cooperation is mutually beneficial, and if Concubine Xiang doesn't believe her, there is no point in cooperating.
Jin Xing turned around and wanted to leave, Concubine Xiang hesitated, she was like a frightened bird and didn't dare to trust anyone at will, but when she saw Jin Xing walking to the door of the palace, she couldn't help but leave her: "This palace believes in you, but you must promise never to betray this palace!" β
"The slave and the maid will never betray only the slave and the maid themselves, Xia Yinhuan is your enemy and the enemy of the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid have the same purpose, but they are not on the same path." The corners of Jin Xing's mouth were half smiling, since she knew that her sister was given to death by poisonous wine, she decided that she would be inseparable from Xia Yinhuan in this life!
That's why she will help Concubine Xiang, today's Jin family is no longer the Jin family of the past, she is alone in the palace, and she can't avenge the golden pearl at all, so she can get everything she wants by relying on Concubine Xiang.
In other words, it is not so much that she cooperates with Concubine Xiang, but with the title of concubine, even if the other party is not Concubine Xiang, she will help without hesitation.
Concubine Xiang remembered how the Jin family was destroyed and how Jin Xing's sister Jin Pearl died, and she was relieved at the moment. He nodded with the same expression, and then showed a faint smile.
"You want revenge, and Hongu wants to stand at the top and take what you get." The original distrust vanished, and he was relieved.
Anyone who looks at Fengle Palace now will be afraid that it is the eyeliner arranged by Cang Rinchen, but the news brought by Jin Xing today gives her a little confidence.
"Niangniang, the slave will continue to inquire about Niangniang's brother, please wait for good news." Jin Xing blessed her, turned around and walked to the door and pulled the latch and said: "It's not too early tonight, the slave and maid can't stay outside for too long, for fear that Your Majesty will be suspicious, so retire first!" β
After that, she held the latch of the door and opened it, she glanced at the Yanling standing at the door of the hall, smiled lightly and walked into the night with the lantern resting at the door.
Concubine Xiang stood up and watched her figure fade away with the lonely lamp, smiling evilly.
Xia Yinhuan's enemy is her friend, no matter who it is, as long as she can bring down Xia Yinhuan, Xia Yinhuan is her only stumbling block now!
"Niangniang, which palace is that slave maid?" Yan Ling asked cautiously, it was also very strange, Concubine Xiang was obviously angry, why was she so special to that palace maid?
"Don't ask what you shouldn't know!" Concubine Xiang glanced at her coldly, she didn't like Yanling, this girl, she was stupid and slow!
Yan Ling lowered her eyebrows, and didn't dare to say more, standing at the door of the hall with her head down, she was also thinking about Concubine Xiang, but Concubine Xiang obviously didn't like her, and even looked at her with disgust.
She knows that she can't compare to Ling'er, but she really has no bad intentions for Concubine Xiang, no matter how good Ling'er is, isn't she trying to kill Concubine Xiang?
There are too many things she can't figure out, it's not easy to survive in the palace, she knows it, so she grovels, so she goes against the grain.
In the early morning of the new year, the snowflakes are flying, the snow is white, the wind and snow will decorate the various courtyards of the palace into a piece of ice and snow world, the early palace ladies and eunuchs, in their spare time, will pile up one or two small snowmen in the courtyard, and then tie a red flower, which is extraordinarily festive.
When Xia Yinhuan got up, Cang Linchen had already gone to the morning court again, and he couldn't stop on the first day of the new year, and it was really difficult for him.
Early in the morning, Liuli happily circled in front of her, wearing new clothes, turning left and turning, smiling at her from time to time.
Looking at Liuli like this, Xia Yinhuan couldn't stand it, and when she jumped into the hall from the door of the hall again, she hurriedly stroked her forehead and said, "Don't come and go, the eyes of this palace are all dazzled." β
"Niangniang, isn't this the new clothes you gave to the slave maid, look at it, is it good-looking, is it good-looking?" Liuli lifted the hem of her skirt and spun around in a circle, smiling from ear to ear.
Xia Yinhuan has a black line on the corner of her forehead, but Liuli is also a woman with strong martial arts, how can she be naΓ―ve as if she is missing a tendon.
"It's good-looking, but you still don't turn around, I'm dizzy." Xia Yinhuan sighed helplessly, it was just a new dress, and Liuli was so happy that she couldn't find it!
