Hu Xizi originally planned to go to Du Xueping after a period of time when her "injury" was almost healed, but she didn't expect that Du Xueping would come after dinner.

"Aunt Snow—"

"Where's the pot girl?"

"...... in the room"

Fortunately, when Hu Xizi came in, he closed the door, and there was a faint sound of conversation in the crack of the door, Hu Xizi hurriedly ran to the bed, shook the quilt, and quickly lay down.

"Squeak-"

Du Xueping came in and saw Hu Xizi who was lying on the bed "weak" and calling, and the cold light in her eyes flashed.

Hu Xizi turned his head when he heard the voice, and shouted to the visitor, "Yan'er, you didn't ...... just now Aunt Xue, why are you~~"

Du Xueping straightened up and said: "The Queen Mother has an order, since the girl has moved to the kitchen, there is no need to go to the garden, and she will work in the kitchen in the future!" ”

"Oh!" The pot Xizi responded with a smile.

Du Xueping glanced at her coldly, turned around and left.

Seeing her leaving, Hu Xizi propped up his head, and gently tapped his face as smooth as a freshly peeled eggshell egg white, "I said that I would be arranged in the garden, but now I want to stay in the kitchen, obviously trying to fix me!" ”

Night gradually fell, and when it was completely dark, Li Ji bowed down and entered the Hexi Palace.

Xi Moyi put down the imperial pen in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows lightly, raised his eyes to look at Li Ji and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Li Ji replied respectfully: "The unitary time has just passed." ”

Xi Moyi got up and glanced at him and said, "Go to the Tortoiseshell Palace." ”

Li Ji was overjoyed and hurriedly followed.

In the past few days, the emperor has deliberately coldly treated him, and he thought that the emperor would take Zhao Qin there!

In the main hall of the tortoiseshell palace, there were two rows of pink-clothed palace maids holding lanterns standing outside the door, and Xi Moyi walked over and knelt down to salute.

Qin Yumao was dressed in an azure butterfly robe, wearing a plain hollow butterfly on her head, standing under the tall door frame, which made her posture even more slender.

Seeing Xi Moyi striding in, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and her face showed undisguised joy, and she hurriedly greeted her.

"The concubine visits the emperor!"

Xi Moyi reached out to hold her hand and helped her up, raised his eyes to look at a big red lantern hanging high under the eaves, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"No need to be polite, let's go in!" As soon as the words fell, he let go of her and strode into the main hall.

Qin Yumao saw him let go, his eyes flashed, and he still followed behind him gently.

Entering the main hall, the candlelight in the main hall was dim, and wisps of faint fragrance lingered from the smoke of the incense burner......

Qin Yumao entered the dormitory, Xi Moyi stared at the incense burner, his face suddenly became nervous, and he lowered his head helplessly and whispered: "This incense is ......"

"It was sent by the Queen Mother, right?" Xi Moyi interrupted her.

Qin Yumao said nervously: "If the emperor doesn't like it, the concubine let the palace maid change?" ”

"No!" Xi Moyi raised his hand and said coldly, "This fragrance is very good!" ”

Qin Yumao lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief, when the Queen Mother sent this incense over, the palace maid who sent the incense whispered to her that this incense has an aphrodisiac effect!

Xi Moyi didn't seem to notice her reaction at all, and walked freely to the soft couch and ordered Li Ji to bring a small table and set up the chessboard, turned his head to look at Qin Yumao, who was still stunned, and asked, "Is the concubine interested in playing a game with me?" ”

Qin Yumao looked at Li Ji and glanced at her, hurriedly walked to the soft couch, bowed down and said, "The concubine takes orders!" ”

After the words fell, he sat opposite him and seriously fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand.

Xi Mo commented that she had dropped a piece, but she was playing with a jade chess piece in her hand, but she couldn't make a move.

Qin Yumao looked up strangely and found that he was staring at her! Her face suddenly became hot and she dodged her gaze.

Xi Moyi dropped the chess pieces in his hand, reached out to hold her chin so that she had to look at him, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his magnetic voice was slightly hoarse, he asked: "What does the concubine think, how does your appearance compare to that of the female monarch of Xizi Kingdom?" ”

Qin Yumao was originally flustered by him, but when she heard him ask, she suddenly splashed down like a basin of cold water. She carefully put away the loneliness in her eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "The female monarch of Xizi Kingdom is the first beauty in the world, and the concubine is inferior to nature!" ”

Xi Moyi looked at her, his eyes were dim, "In my opinion, the concubine is also very beautiful......

Qin Yumao was stunned, and before she could say two humble words, she heard Xi Moyi say again, "Since the concubine knows that she is not as beautiful as the female monarch of Xizi Kingdom, she should not stand with the female monarch of Xizi Kingdom in the future, standing together with two beauties will always make people think of comparison, my concubine, of course, can only be the most beautiful!" ”

Qin Yumao shook her head in a panic, and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the concubine is just thinking that she is a woman who has left her hometown and is pitiful, so she will ......."

"Really?" Xi Moyi sneered, "No matter how pitiful she is, she is still a female monarch, and she doesn't need the noble concubine of the enemy country to be pitiful!" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine ......" Qin Yumao still wanted to explain, but saw Li Ji shaking his head invisibly towards her.

Qin Yumao was stunned, and immediately quieted down, bowing her head and sobbing quietly.

"Guifei, reflect on it!" Xi Moyi dropped this sentence and turned around to leave the Tortoiseshell Palace, but did not let Li Ji follow.

Li Ji understood his intentions, walked over to help Qin Yumao and said bitterly: "Niangniang has always been smart, what's wrong this time!" ”

Qin Yumao looked at Li Ji puzzled and asked, "Gonggong Li, did I do something wrong?" ”

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Li Ji stomped his foot lightly in a hurry and said, "Isn't it wrong?" Niangniang feels lonely in the deep palace, and it is normal for people to want to find a confidant to talk to intimate words, and the fault of this matter is that the person Niangniang is looking for is the female monarch of Xizi Kingdom! Although the female monarch is a woman, she is the king of a country, and her friendship with her is not a violation of the rule that people in the harem cannot interfere in politics? ”

Qin Yumao woke up a little after him, and then he suddenly realized.

"The slave heard that Niangniang also sent medicine to the female monarch of the Xizi Kingdom today?" Li Ji asked suddenly.

Qin Yumao nodded apprehensively.

Li Ji frowned and said, "Niangniang is really confused! Niangniang has heard the rumors in the harem about the female monarch of the Xizi Kingdom? ”

Qin Yumao nodded.

Li Ji said again: "Niangniang, you came out on the front foot, and there was such a rumor on the back foot, Niangniang thought about it carefully, others would think, who spread this rumor?" ”

Qin Yumao thought about it, and hurriedly grabbed Li Ji in horror and said, "It's not me...... I...... I didn't have ......"

"Of course the slave knows that it's not you, but others don't believe it!"

"That'...... The pot girl will also think it's me...... Slander her? Qin Yumao asked in a daze.

Li Ji sneered: "If she really thinks so, it's good that Niangniang just took this opportunity to stay away from her!" ”
