Hua Qingrao couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about at all, and a pair of glass-like eyes glanced back and forth at the two of them.

Mao Ziyi looked at the hour, leaned over and saluted: "I still have to go on patrol in my humble position, so I will retire first." ”

With that, he turned away.

Hua Qingrao glanced at Mao Ziyi's back meaningfully, and walked into the courtyard. She sat down opposite Hui Xiuyuan, raised her hand and said to the palace people in the courtyard: "Make a cup for the throne and give Hui Xiuyuan a new Dongting Biluochun." ”

The palace people didn't dare to move, she turned her head to look at Hui Xiuyuan.

"You really don't think of yourself as an outsider." A faint smile appeared on Hui Xiuyuan's face, "Make her a drink." ”

"Yes." The palace man took the order and walked down.

Hua Qingrao glanced at the handkerchief on the stone table, and said with a smile: "Niangniang is really full of guests here!" ”

Hui Xiuyuan knew that she was alluding to something, so she put away the handkerchief unhurriedly, raised her eyes and said lightly: "That's not as good as your demeanor." ”

Hua Qingrao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and just when she was stunned, the palace man came over with a cup of brewed Biluochun, she carefully put the teacup in Hua Qingrao's hand, and said respectfully: "Niangniang, please use tea." ”

Hua Qingrao bowed slightly, grabbed the teacup with her fingers, lifted the teacup, and as soon as she lifted the lid, a fragrance wafted over. She took a sip and sighed, "These days! No wonder the women in this palace are eager to conceive a dragon heir. ”

She paused for a moment, raised her eyes and said, "The mother is happy, but the concubine hasn't said hello to you yet." ”

Hui Xiuyuan took a sip of the tea in her hand and said lightly: "You have already said it last night." ”

Hua Qingrao's hand holding the teacup trembled, and she whispered in disbelief: "Last night?!" ”

Hui Xiuyuan gently put down the teacup, looked up at Hua Qingrao's eyes, and said with a smile: "Last night!" Ying Jieyu was very good last night, and I have to show everyone in the future. ”

Hua Qingrao suddenly understood what Hui Xiuyuan said before, it must have been something terrible that she did in front of her after she was drunk last night. She forced her mind to settle down, and changed the topic lightly: "Niangniang, I don't know if I am interested in discussing the chess game with the concubine that I have not discussed before." ”

Hui Xiuyuan hooked the corners of her mouth lightly, turned her head and instructed the palace people: "Bring the white jade chessboard that everyone gave to the throne." ”

·····

In the Yongshou Palace, Concubine Zhang Xian was leisurely pruning the flower branches in the vase, humming a small tune out of tune in her mouth.

Seeing that she was in a good mood at this time, Bao Qin turned her head and gave a look to Lai.

Laishun moved in cringe, and shook his head hesitantly.

Bao Qin looked at him like this, and her heart was angry, and she glared at him viciously.

Lai Shun frowned, walked to Concubine Zhang Xian's side with a tangled face, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the little one has something I want to tell you." ”

Concubine Zhang Xian's movements in her hands didn't stop, and she didn't even look back and said, "Say it." ”

Those who come to shun hesitate just can't open their mouths. He looked up at Baoqin, who looked at him a little anxiously, and said the word "say" silently with his mouth.

"Mother... Small·· Small..." Lai Shun talked for a long time, but he couldn't say anything useful.

Concubine Zhang Xian glanced at the small movements of Baoqin and Laishun, her eyes sank, and she turned her head to stare at Laishun and said, "Say!" ”

Lai Shun was so frightened that his body trembled, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said: "Niangniang, the small family outside the palace is in urgent need of money, so I thought about taking some of my own things and sending them out, but I didn't expect to be caught red-handed by Yi Xiuyi yesterday." ”

As soon as Concubine Zhang Xian's hand was exerted, the thorns instantly pierced into the flesh, and bean-sized blood beads came out.

"!" Baoqin exclaimed, and hurriedly pulled out the silk handkerchief in her sleeve to wipe it for her.

Concubine Zhang Xian pushed her hand outward, turned around and said angrily: "You say it again, who caught you?" ”

Bao Qin fell to the ground, and her arm hit the ground with a bloody streak. Fighting through the pain, she got up and fell to her knees.

Lai Shun was already so frightened that he couldn't speak, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out the three words "Yi Xiuyi".

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Zhang Xian slapped him with a loud backhand and slapped him in the face accurately. "Idiot!"

This slap Zhang Xianfei hit extremely hard, and she fell to the ground and felt dizzy, with Venus in front of her.

Seeing Lai Shun's appearance, Baoqin knelt down and stepped forward, leaned over and said, "Niangniang is angry!" ”

"Anger?!" Concubine Zhang Xian snorted angrily, flicked her sleeves and turned around and said, "Smuggling items in the palace is a big crime!" This palace can't protect you! Go and confess to everyone yourself! ”

When Lai Shun heard this, he couldn't take care of his groggy brain, got up from a bone on the ground, kowtowed on the ground and said, "Niangniang, it's the first time for you to be small!" For the sake of serving the little mother for many years, I also ask the mother to forgive the little one's mistakes. ”

Baoqin saw that Concubine Zhang Xian didn't speak anymore, and turned her head to look at the unfortunate Laishun, who had already kowtowed to the point that his head was broken, and he couldn't bear it in his heart.

They entered the palace in the same year and have supported each other to this day. Usually, he only relies on selling some small news of Concubine Zhang Xian to make some scattered silver. But he never expected that this Laishun would try to be more greedy, and secretly sell the things in Concubine Zhang Xian's palace to the palace. It wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

"Niangniang, don't be angry, you're still pregnant!"

She saw that Concubine Zhang Xian's face softened slightly, and said again: "Niangniang, although Yi Xiuyi caught them, she also took away the things. ”

Concubine Zhang Xian turned around and said angrily: "These objects are evidence, of course she has to take them!" Send it to everyone, and everyone will get the stolen goods! ”

Bao Qin explained slowly: "But Niang Niang Yi Xiuyi has always been greedy for money, and the slave maid once heard from the palace people that she also stole a lot of things from the dead Tiancai. If she really wanted to send it to everyone, yesterday was the best time at the banquet, why didn't she say it? ”

Concubine Zhang Xian slowly calmed down, opened her lips and said, "You mean she is greedy for these things?" ”

Baoqin's eyes flashed with cunning, and she smiled slightly: "The slave guesses that it should be like this." Yi Xiuyi is the queen's mother's person, and the slave thinks it's better to take the opportunity than the mother..."

Although she didn't say the rest of the words, the meaning was already self-evident.

Concubine Zhang Xian's eyes rolled, and she picked up the scissors and "clicked" a flower in the vase, and the flower was cut off and hung down in an instant. She turned to Lai Shun, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Get up, who are the people who know about this matter?" ”

Lai Shun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Baoqin gratefully, and replied: "It's just that a few guards and leading guards on duty that day know that there seems to be a distant cousin Zhang San among the guards on duty." ”

"Zhang San." Concubine Zhang Xian read it in her mouth, raised her eyes and said, "You go to their leading guards and send this matter away." Then he went to the place where they said that the object they had given to their throne had been stolen. ”

Lai Shun was stunned, how dare he steal the items given by everyone. He hurriedly explained: "Niangniang, the little one didn't take the objects given by everyone! ”

Baoqin glanced at Concubine Zhang Xian's face, and hurriedly waved her hand at him: "Niangniang said that there is one, don't go quickly!" She added, "Before you go, get your forehead right." ”

Laishun instantly understood, and he said with a smile: "Niangniang, the little one will go." ”
