Zijin cried for a long time, spit out the resentment in his stomach, felt hungry, and did not be polite to Huaien, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and had a storm.

She is a person who practices martial arts, and her appetite is naturally much larger than that of these industrious masters in the palace, and she is dumbfounded when she sees Huai En.

Huai Enping stepped back, covered his lips and smiled: "I really envy your temperament, the world is big, you eat the biggest, and no matter how sad you are, you will forget about it when you turn around." ”

Zijin held the chopsticks and pouted: "But my temperament is not likable, men may like women who are as weak as the queen's mother." ”

Huaien smiled and quipped: "Is it that General Chu treats you as an iron-clad man, so he doesn't care enough?" ”

Zijin had chopsticks in his mouth, his face couldn't help but darken, and he smiled bitterly: "Huaien, in fact, I don't know if he has me in his heart?" Perhaps, as they say, I am just a shadow of someone else. ”

Huai'en's face suddenly became nervous: "Zijin, have you heard any rumors?" ”

Zijin turned his head to look at her: "You know that too, don't you?" ”

Huaien's face was a little obviously flustered, and he said urgently: "You must not listen to those people's nonsense, they are all behind-the-eye, chasing after the wind." ”

Huaien's move seemed to be trying to cover up, Zijin suddenly felt that he had no appetite, put down the bowl in his hand, and sighed: "Huaien, you tell me honestly, are Chu Mubai and the queen mother as they say?" ”

Huai'en's expression froze, and he said, "You lived with them in the maple forest for so long, don't you know?" ”

Zijin lowered his head and said sadly: "It's because I lived together at the beginning that I feel even more up." I think Brother Mu Bai is really good to the queen mother. ”

"Impossible," Wynne continued, reassuring, "I find it unbelievable, maybe it's just your heart. ”

Zijin finally held back the tears that fell again: "I have no friends in the capital, except for Chu Mubai or Chu Mubai, and now I feel wronged, and I don't know who to talk to." ”

"Silly girl," Wynn smiled, "Isn't there still me, you can tell me if you have anything to say in the future." Tonight, we'll go to sleep and talk all night, so that you can pour all the bitter water in your heart, okay? ”

Zijin burst into tears and smiled, and nodded embarrassedly: "Actually, I want to ask the queen mother to resign from the palace tomorrow." ”

"I don't advise you on this matter, you can just make up your own mind. In fact, I also think that your temperament is too pure, and it is not suitable for this deceitful harem. It's just that if you leave the palace like this with the queen, will General Chu blame you? ”

Zijin hesitated for a moment, and finally asked out loud: "You say, if I want to be tempted, uh...... It's just to test him, after all, I'm not willing to be so unclear, you say, what should I do? ”

Huai En's face was serious: "Zijin, there are already a lot of things in this palace, and there are many people who covet the queen mother and want to harm her, so don't you have another trouble and cause trouble for her." The last time I got into trouble with you, didn't it make the queen angry? In the future, don't be reckless. ”

Zijin said suddenly: "I didn't mean that, I just, I really want to know, does he have me in his heart?" ”

"It's hard to say this kind of thing, especially people like General Chu, who are more introverted. Unless it is a real life-or-death situation, or a dangerous moment, you will not reveal your true feelings. Moreover, don't try, men, if you try, you may be the one who will be hurt. ”

"Even if it's hurt, I'll admit it." Zijin said gloomily: "It's better than being a substitute for the rest of your life." ”

Both of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere became heavy.

Zijin's temper came and went quickly, and when he woke up the next day, he felt that his heart was no longer so uncomfortable, and he was still a little embarrassed to cry and complain to Huai En yesterday. Looking in the mirror, her eyelids were still swollen, and she wrapped a handkerchief in ice for a long time, so that it went away, and Huaien covered her with gouache, and then returned to Qingqiu Palace.

Yuehua had already had breakfast, and when she saw her coming back, she smiled slightly: "You're back?" ”

Zijin nodded, but he didn't know what to say for a while: "I'm back." ”

"Have you had breakfast?"

"I've eaten at Lan Jieyu's."

Yuehua said "um" softly, thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Why did you suddenly remember to go to her?" ”

Zijin was stunned for a moment, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Is it not in line with the rules of this palace to stay with her?" If that's the case, I'm not going to go. ”

Zijin's words had a cold sneering flavor in them. She couldn't hide things in her heart, and in the face of Yuehua, her likes and dislikes immediately appeared.

Yuehua sensitively heard that something was wrong, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm just afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble."

"How so?" Yuehua smiled: "I just want to remind you that there are some things I want to remind you of, so as not to be used by people with intentions again." ”

"What?"

Yuehua hesitated slightly, but still said truthfully: "People in this palace are unpredictable, maybe some people are not as good as they seem on the surface, you have to be careful." ”

Zijin smiled: "I think the people in this palace are quite real." Concubine Ling and Yajieyu sneered at me every time they saw me, and they made no secret of their hostility towards me, but they never pretended to be good people. ”

These words sounded a little harsh, but Yuehua still suppressed her anger and patiently explained: "I'm not talking about them. ”

There was also something in her words, and Zijin asked directly, "Who are you talking about?" ”

In fact, Yuehua is only suspicious and uncertain about many things, so she can't directly remind Zijin to know, and she can only say perfunctorily: "I don't mean anything else, I just hope that you can think more about things." Don't take other people's words lightly and act recklessly. Just like last time, you shouldn't just listen to Wynne's words. ”

Zijin had just had a long talk with Huai En yesterday, and the friendship was just right, and when he heard Yuehua say this, he was immediately a little displeased: "Although the queen mother can rest assured, I didn't say anything to Lan Jieyu yesterday." And in front of me, she always said good things about you four times and three times, and her heart was full of gratitude to you, and she was not the one with evil intentions as you said.

Including the last time, we are just bent on giving you a bad breath, so we take such a big risk to do it, you don't appreciate it, and even think that it is causing you trouble, but you should not doubt our thoughts about you. ”

"I didn't doubt you." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Yuehua's tone of voice became colder and colder, and she quickly explained, "I'm just reminding you." ”

Zijin became more and more bored, and looked at Yuehua's gaze undoubtedly: "If Niangniang thinks that it is inappropriate for Zijin to stay in front of you, Zijin will leave the palace today, so as not to cause trouble for you." ”

Yuehua originally had this intention, but Zijin took the initiative to bring it up, and he was still angry, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Zijin, what's wrong with you?" Did you listen to someone else's instigation and talk nonsense? ”

"No, it's just that Zijin is used to it, and I think it's really not suitable to stay in the palace."

Yuehua looked at her suspiciously, and knew that something must have happened. Her temperament is relatively straightforward, and she can't hide things in her heart, so when she faces herself, this attitude will suddenly become like this.

"I heard that my brother came to you yesterday, did the two of you quarrel?"

Zijin snorted coldly in his heart: "No." ”

"Zijin, if there is something wrong with what I say, you can just say it, and I will pay attention next time. If you're just in a bad mood right now, you can rest for a while, and when you can calm down, let's talk about it, okay?

You and I were originally friends in our family, and we have experienced life and death together, and now you are my future sister-in-law, and you are already a family, and there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved. ”

Yuehua, as the queen, was able to persuade herself in such a low voice, Zijin was aggrieved, and when she heard her call herself "sister-in-law", it was a little too much to think that she was able to speak: "I may be in a bad mood, I am excited for a while, I will calm down for a while." ”

With that, he went back to his room.

Shui You, who was waiting on the side, listened to all the words of the two in his heart, stepped forward to help Yuehua sit down, and comforted softly: "Niangniang, don't take it to heart, Miss Zijin must have listened to the instigation of others and misunderstood you." ”

Yuehua nodded: "Last night, she suddenly went to Huaien's place, and I felt that something was wrong, and I was worried that the two would get angry and quarrel." But when she spoke to me so politely,-for-tat, she obviously had some opinions about me. ”

Shui You groaned slightly, and said loudly: "Yesterday, the slave maid heard that Miss Zijin hid alone and cried secretly, and then argued a few words with Yajie and Concubine Ling. ”

"Yajieyu? Concubine Ling? Could it be that the two of them took the opportunity to fan the flames? ”

Shui You nodded: "It's hard to guarantee that it wasn't Miss Zijin who followed you to protect you, hindered their eyes, and instigated a few words to let Miss Zijin go out of the palace." ”

Yuehua pondered for a moment, and had a plan in her heart: "Shui You, you go to the imperial study to take a look, have the emperor and General Chu broken up their deliberations?" ”

The water was leisurely and was about to turn around, but Yuehua called her again: "If it hasn't dispersed yet, you tell General Chu to the entourage in front of you, wait until General Chu comes out, let him wait for me in the pavilion, I have something to say to him." ”

"Which gazebo?"

Yuehua thought about the confidential things to explain, and wanted to avoid Zijin, and didn't want Chu Mubai to come to Qingqiu Palace: "Just the Huxin Pavilion that extends from the Fubi Pavilion, if the discussion is dispersed, just send someone over to make a sound." ”

"Yajieyu likes to feed koi fish in the lake pavilion on weekdays, but don't bump into it, let's change places, right?"

Yuehua smiled slightly: "No, just the Lake Heart Pavilion." The emperor's deliberations are generally dispersed late, and they can't be bumped. ”

Shui You received the order, went straight out of the Qingqiu Palace, and went to the imperial study.

Yuehua sighed lightly and gently stroked her lower abdomen, thoughtful.
