Chapter 199: We're all chess pieces, what?!
"Drink it, princess." Crescent Moon handed me the water, and I took it tremblingly, and drank it all in a silly gulp.
King Chu Qing, why didn't I know there was such a person?
I secretly screamed in my heart, I didn't say any nonsense in front of this person, did I?
I eased my dry throat and asked nervously, "What did King Chu Qing say?" ”
"Just tell us to take care of the princess......" Zhi Tao took back the cup that had bottomed out, set it on the table, and looked at me with hesitant eyes.
Looking at her expression, I knew there must be something else she hadn't told me.
I pondered for a moment, then said, "Nothing else?" ”
"Imperial Princess......" Zhi Tao paused and stepped forward to say, "Concubine Jing has been ordered by the emperor to invite Fengyin away......"
I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't react to what Zhi Tao said, and after a while, I couldn't help but sneer, Xiao Jincheng, good, good, very good!
You've cut me out completely!
Suddenly, Chunlan came in a hurry, and her voice was slightly worried, "Imperial Concubine, Yin Zhaoyuan is asking to see you outside the palace." ”
"Yes, got it." I sneered, guessing in my heart what she was going to do.
She must have known the news that the phoenix seal in my hand was handed over to Concubine Jing for custody.
I have to say that Xiao Jincheng's approach is indeed clever, Fengyin neither gave Xia Yu nor me, but gave it to Concubine Jing......
I slowly got up from the bed and put on a light green lotus skirt, which was very ordinary.
Zhi Tao's smart eyes turned with my every move with some worry, she felt that I was too calm, "Imperial Princess, you just dressed like this to go out to see Yin Zhaoyuan?" Or a slave dresses you up......"
Shimo's voice was cautious.
I gently smoothed the hair of my shawl, and casually twisted a jade bead hairpin and inserted it on the side of my sideburns, with an indifferent face, "Today is different from the past, now that even the phoenix seal has been taken away in this palace, and the person who pleases himself in this palace is long gone, even if you are dressed like a fairy, what can you do?" ”
As soon as the voice fell, Chunlan and Zhitao's faces showed a lonely look, and a sigh as thin as mosquito silk came into my ears. I knew what they were sighing about, but I just didn't hear it, and walked leisurely out of the dormitory, and they quickly followed.
Goodbye Yin Shijing, it seems that it is not the same as before, the originally arrogant face has a charming style, and the smile is sweet. A body of gold and silver jewelry surrounded by beads shines brightly in the slanting sun after the rain, dazzling and dazzling. The snake bun on the top of the head is deeply embedded with a green jade circle of eight treasures, and the beads are scattered, which looks extravagant.
Looking at the expression of the girl in front of me who seemed to be in love, I actually wondered viciously, whether Xiao Jincheng used a stand-in!
However, then I smiled bitterly, he was so scheming, now the Yin family's power is bound to be monstrous, and it is impossible for him to find any substitutes. The stand-in is just to lure me in.
A pinprick in my heart......
When Yin Shijing saw me coming, she greeted me and bowed to her, "Sister An, how are you lately?" ”
I pretended to be indifferent and replied with a smile that seemed to be smiling, "How can my sister have a good life." Now my sister is the first person in the harem, I'm afraid I've forgotten my sister a long time ago. ”
Her smile became more and more charming after my words, "Sister said that she laughed, but we have worshiped the sun and the moon and married Jinlan, this oath, how dare my sister forget." ”
I drew a curvature and looked at the golden hall, like a glitz and phantom. Seeing that I was silent for a long time, she asked to herself, "I heard that sister, you knelt outside the Heart Cultivation Hall for three hours last night. I persuaded Gorou to go out to meet his sister, but he said that sister, if you don't see him come out after kneeling for a long time, you will leave on your own. Gorou is really ruthless. ”
When I heard the word "Goro", I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, she deliberately called me like this in front of me. But what does this sentence "Goro" represent?
I am a pawn in his hand with her, and since I am a pawn, I have more sympathy for her. Looking at her now, it is like seeing the self who was once indulged in his pampering, and the bitterness can only be understood by herself.
She whispered, "Oops, my sister has lost her words." ”
The pain in my heart gradually faded with her words, my smile was still on my face, and it didn't disappear at all, but the face of the new moon next to me became ugly, and she brought tea to her, "Zhaoyuan Niangniang, please use tea." She brought a cup of tea to her, and Yin Shijing wanted to take it, and a cup of hot tea was poured on her like this.
She bounced up from the chair because of the pain, kept wiping the water stains on her body with a handkerchief, and Xinyue hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Niangniang forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean it." ”
I didn't expect Xinyue to do this suddenly, so I immediately held back a smile, and also got up to help Xinyue kowtow on the ground, "Get up, sister, she has always had a big belly, and besides, you didn't mean to." How could she blame you? ”
Yin Shijing, who was still wiping her clothes, said, "Xie Niangniang forgives her sins." ”
Yin Shijing held back her anger and glared at Xinyue, she didn't have a good seizure, so she could only barely pull out a smile that was not a smile, "Sister's minion is really powerful." ”
I snorted, "What did my sister say?" Look at you are wet, let's go back to the palace and change your clothes, don't make people laugh. ”
She withdrew the movement of her hand and glanced at me calmly, "Then, my sister will retire first." She looked back, but turned around and said, "By the way, my sister almost forgot something serious." In three days, my sister will be canonized as Mrs. Zhengyipin, and I hope my sister must go to the banquet. ”
"Definitely." I bowed my head and agreed, and then suddenly thought of something, and said, "Sister, do you know who was the person who exposed Mrs. Ya's adultery with Lord Xiao yesterday?" ”
Her face stiffened slightly, and she instantly returned to normal, and I was caught off guard by the speed of the change, and I secretly admired her.
If I guess correctly, the so-called "informer" is Yin Shijing, if Xiao Jincheng wants to use her, of course he will let her find out about Mrs. Ya and Xiao You, and make her a whistleblower. In this way, she has made a great contribution, and Xiao Jincheng has an excuse to canonize Yin Shijing justifiably. That's a good guess, her rank will only get higher and higher, and this is just the beginning......
"How would I know?" She faintly denied it.
"Really?" I smiled faintly, but there was certainty in my voice.
She was silent for a moment, and finally admitted, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my sister, it's me." Mrs. Ya and Lord Xiao did such a reluctant thing, and everyone got it, so that they could be majestic with the royal family. ”
I couldn't help but remind, "Why bother? ”
"I don't think I'm wrong for doing that." She snorted coldly, "Sister Shu will retire first." ”
She walked out of the dormitory quickly, looking at her back and about to leave, I said to her, "Sister must know, flowers are not red for a hundred days." Leave a way out for others, and a way out for yourself. ”
However, I don't know if she heard my words, but she continued to walk without stopping, and finally disappeared into the palace gate.
I sat back in my chair weakly, slowly closing my eyes, feeling a little exhausted. There's so much going on, so much really happening, and I'm overwhelmed.
"Imperial Princess, drink a cup of plum blossom brew." Crescent Moon placed the tea on the side of the desk and made a soft noise, and I slowly opened my eyes. Staring at the crescent moon in front of her, what she thought was that she had just splashed a cup of hot water on Yin Shijing's body. Unconsciously a faint smile appeared on his face, "You did it on purpose." "Is it because of jealousy?
Xinyue said a little unnaturally, "I'm a little upset for the imperial concubine." ”
I nodded lightly and didn't ask, whether it was because of me or because of myself, her actions just now were really what I wanted to do.
Picked up the tea, put it in his nose and smelled it, and was about to drink it, when he saw Concubine Jing slowly come to the main hall with a few people. This is the first time we want to see each other since I was officially made a concubine.
According to the palace ranks, she should salute me, but now the phoenix seal is in her hand, exercising the power of the queen, so we just nod to each other as a greeting.
After I sat down with her with a gentle face, she spoke first, "The concubine heard that the Holy Imperial Concubine knelt in the rain for three hours yesterday, but the emperor came to visit you because of it. There seemed to be a deep concern in her voice, but it was not difficult to hear a hint of surprise.
I didn't hide anything, and naturally nodded, "Yes." ”
"How could the emperor treat you like this, after the concubine received the phoenix seal, she was also faintly uneasy, if there is a chance, the concubine will definitely persuade the emperor more." The concern in her mouth became more and more obvious, but the sincerity in it was pitiful.
Isn't this current situation exactly what she wants? The fisherman's profit, she calculated just right, which I admire!
I smiled faintly and didn't say much, "Thank you." ”
Obviously, she didn't expect me to be so calm, and suddenly restrained her words, she glanced at me thoughtfully, and her hand unconsciously touched the plum blossom brew that I had just put on the table, and played with it gently, without speaking.
In order to break the slightly weird atmosphere, this time I took the initiative to speak, "Try the plum blossom brew that Hongu must drink every day." If Concubine Jing doesn't dislike it, please taste it. ”
Concubine Jing retracted her thoughts and glanced at the cup of tea. He lifted the cap and put it to his lips to drink, but he froze. I put it in my nose and smelled it, my face changed, and I looked at it sharply.
What's wrong? I looked back at her gaze strangely, and my heart trembled, "Concubine Jing......"
I saw her put down the tea in her hand, looked at Zhitao and Xinyue and said, "Please let Concubine Rong talk to you alone." Concubine Jing looked at me with a serious face, and said directly, "You all retreat!" Although the voice was majestic and awe-inspiring, there was a tremor in it, and the doubts in my heart widened and grew.
Nodding his head, he watched them walk out......
When all the minions in the main hall retreated, only me and Concubine Jing in the palace remained, the air was almost condensed, I don't know what happened, but her anger was very obvious! Suddenly, Concubine Jing threw the porcelain cup on the ground in front of me, making a piercing sound of breaking.
I watched in amazement as the cup of plum blossom brew was thrown to the ground, a mess.
Concubine Jing looked calm, but asked me coldly, "Who made this tea!" ”
