"I heard Yuping say that the old beast received a palace maid in front of the queen's spirit, like a person from the former queen's side, you said that he came back, should he forget me again?" Jing Shu's eyes showed a sharp and fierce light, and she wanted to smash Yu Ruyi to pieces, and said viciously, "I have suffered so much, do I have to do it all over again?" ”

Xiangxiang persuaded: "With the newcomer, Concubine Li and the others will stare at the newcomer, let's live quietly in Furong, isn't it good?" Why do you have to suffer that? ”

Jingshu looked at her, a little angry, but when she thought that Xiangxiang rarely visited elsewhere with her, she didn't know that it was excusable, so she calmed down and said: "When I was not good a while ago, what were the faces of those eunuchs and palace maids outside the door, have you forgotten?" I went to other palaces to greet the old women, and occasionally met a few kind-hearted people, and seeing that they were living a good life, they said to me that if there was no emperor's favor in this palace, the concubine would be inferior to a slave. ”

Xiangxiang can understand this helplessness, but no matter how bad the life in the palace is, it is better than the hard work when she was a dancer in the past, it is Jingshu who can't let go of the glory and wealth, this is her own choice, there is nothing to blame, but ......

Jing Shu really said: "Xiangxiang, if I can't be beautiful, how can I send you out?" ”

It's this sentence again, for some reason, Xiangxiang doesn't want to hear it today.

After Jingshu rested, Xiangxiang returned to her house, although her house is small, it is enough to live alone and tidy, she once had a dream of having her own home in the future, there is such a room, no longer have to sleep with other girls, is it now realized?

In the past, no matter how hard it was, I could still walk around from south to north, but now I don't work hard, but I am locked up in such a small room, and I have no freedom anymore.

Xiang Xiang was in a daze, and the voice of Yuping outside the door said: "Sister Xiangxiang, the beauty said that we don't need to be on duty tonight, you go to sleep and don't get up." She answered, there was no movement outside, I don't know how long later, Xiangxiang went to the door to see, the whole Furong was peaceful.

It was late at night, because the emperor and most of the concubines were not there, the palace was quieter than before, so it was easier to detect the movements around it, Qi Hui was washing her mother's feet in the cold palace, and Concubine Xian said softly: "Hui'er, there seems to be someone outside the door." ”

Qi Hui listened carefully and didn't notice anything, but he never doubted his mother's sensitivity and vigilance, and he would never allow anyone to bully his mother again, so he put down the matter in his hand and quickly went to the door to check, and saw the woman's figure gradually walking away, he called very softly: "Xiangxiang? ”

The faint voice reached Xiangxiang's ears, she turned around in a panic, and sure enough, she saw a man's figure in front of the cold palace, the voice was very soft but familiar, she knew that it was Qi Hui there.

Xiangxiang almost ran back, but before she could stand firmly, she was dragged in by Qi Hui, after all, this is a cold palace.

"Hu'er?" Concubine Xian noticed that someone else was entering the door, she was a little nervous, carefully distinguishing the footsteps, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Is it Miss Xiangxiang?" ”

"Concubine Xian." Xiangxiang stepped forward and saluted.

"Sure enough, it's you, it's so late, why are you here?" Concubine Xian motioned for Xiangxiang to sit beside her, Xiangxiang didn't dare, seeing Concubine Xian washing her feet, she hurriedly squatted down to help, but was pulled by Qi Hui and said, "My mother is not used to being served by others, you go and wait for me outside the door, I will come out soon." ”

Concubine Xian also smiled: "I'll be fine here." At the same time, he said to Qi Hui, "You can talk to Xiangxiang, my mother can do it herself." ”

The warm mother-son relationship, although in a difficult situation, is also a family affection that Xiangxiang has never felt in his life.
