Chapter Ninety-Nine: To Each His Need

This sentence was like a thunderbolt to Empress Yixian, but from another point of view, it was expected. In any case, this sentence came out of the mouth of the unpredictable Liu Wenhui, and it was still worth considering.

Empress Yixian's eyes narrowed slightly, the expression on her face was slightly awe-inspiring, and her thoughts were full of thoughts in her heart, and she said lightly after a long time: "My sister is really good at laughing, this palace is the same as my sister, but she is just a woman's family, in this deep palace, sometimes it is difficult to protect herself, where can I take care of others." ”

When Liu Zhaoyi heard this, she sneered in her heart, but her expression was even more poignant and graceful, and she sighed lowly: "It seems that Niangniang doesn't want to believe in her concubine." ”

Empress Yixian didn't seem to see her look, and her voice was still light: "Where did my sister say, in this harem, this palace has always treated everyone equally, why don't you believe what my sister said?" It's just that my sister is smart and sensitive, so why rely on this palace? ”

"What about Smart Minda? The concubine is just a powerless woman from a small border country, no more prominent than the Niangniang family. If there is no power in this deep palace, you will never be able to turn over. The concubine didn't want to be buried in this deep palace for the rest of her life, so she asked the mother for guidance. Liu Zhaoyi's eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in sorrow, like smoke and mist, becoming more and more weak and innocent.

Empress Yixian's heart was like a mirror from beginning to end, her fingers hidden in her sleeves rubbed gently, and her eyes were as calm as a pool of water.

She's measuring how much it will be worth to use her later if she agrees to her request.

Liu Zhaoyi has a wise soul and naturally knows what she thinks in her heart. But Su Huan is extremely cunning, if she wants her to agree, she has to work hard.

"Niangniang Mingjian, the concubine is really desperate, so she followed Niangniang." Liu Zhaoyi's voice was soft and resentful, "Niangniang must have known that even the emperor of the concubines abandoned the concubines, and the concubines were really frightened, thinking about this lonely deep palace, the long night, if there was only one concubine left, how lonely the concubine would be." It's better to follow the mother, and it's good to ask for a safe life. ”

Her words are sad, as if all her thoughts are presented in front of her without reservation, and anyone who listens to them can't help but feel pity.

But Empress Yixian was not confused by her words, she always only considered the usable value of this person.

"Sister, why should you be arrogant, you and I are both for Your Majesty. Your Majesty is kind-hearted, how can you let your sister be alone? Empress Yixian smiled in her eyes, and her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and she said softly, "What's more, His Royal Highness King Rong is extremely wise and deeply loved by His Majesty, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future." My sister must not be so pessimistic. ”

Liu Zhaoyi saw that she actually said something that she didn't have, and she ridiculed her openly and secretly, but she was unwilling to comply with her request, and she couldn't help hating her in her heart.

"The concubine's heartfelt words, it seems that the mother still doesn't want to believe the concubine, since this is the case, the concubine is also willing to force it. The concubine retired. Liu Zhaoyi frowned and sighed deeply, as if she had infinite sorrow and infinite regret.

At this time, Empress Yixian suddenly chuckled and said, "I'm afraid my sister has misunderstood, my sister's business is the affairs of this palace, and this palace naturally believes my sister." ”

Liu Zhaoyi was stunned when she heard this, as if she couldn't believe what she said, and muttered: "Niangniang means that she is willing to believe in her concubines?" ”

However, in her heart, there was speechless joy and ridicule in her heart: "Su Huan, you finally agreed, and it was not in vain to do these five times in this palace." ”

"This palace naturally believes you." Empress Yixian stood up and approached her slowly, her words firm, but the imperceptible coldness in her eyes showed that she had another thought in her heart.

"Xie Niangniang." Liu Zhaoyi pretended to be surprised and thanked again and again.

Empress Yixian's plain white hand gently grabbed her hand, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she smiled: "In the future, the palace will rely on my sister, and I hope that my sister will not hesitate to give advice." ”

"Nature." Liu Zhaoyi also smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and was beautiful, "Then the concubine will retire." With that, he blessed slightly, turned around and left.

After achieving the goal, Liu Zhaoyi naturally had no intention of staying. Not to mention that she has other more important things to do.

Empress Yixian looked at her back, her gaze was as deep as a pool.

"Niangniang, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to agree to her like this?" As soon as Liu Zhaoyi left, Wen Xiang asked respectfully.

Empress Yixian glanced at her and asked leisurely, "What's wrong?" ”

Wen Xiang groaned: "With Liu Zhaoyi's person, she can not beg for someone so quietly again, so the slave maid thinks that there must be fraud in this." ”

"Do you think Hongu will not know?" Empress Yixian sat down leisurely, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip elegantly, "But this palace just wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in her gourd?" ”

A fine light flashed in Empress Yixian's eyes, and her confident and calm expression seemed to be under control.

Seeing this, Wen Xiang already understood Empress Yixian's intentions, so she didn't say anything anymore.

At this time, the atmosphere of Yiluo Palace is very peaceful, and the light and pleasant incense overflows from the small and delicate smoker, which makes people feel peaceful.

This incense is called "Lingshen", it is a tribute to the Yueyin Kingdom, because the ingredients of this incense are extremely precious, the process of making incense is extremely complicated, and the yield of incense is very low, so it is very precious. This incense can calm the nerves and eye-catching, clear the mind, and is the incense used by the royal court in the court.

However, with Xu Liangdi's status, she can't enjoy this incense.

However, at this moment, her palace can be infected with this precious "Lingshen", naturally because of Emperor Honghua's special reward.

This "Lingshen" really smells more pleasing to the eye than ordinary incense, and it seems that His Majesty has finally taken care of his sister. Concubine Lian's white fingers gently stroked the delicate smoker, and said with a gentle smile.

She is an arrogant and cold person, she has always been cold to people, and she does not smile, only here is Xu Liangdi, she will let go of her guard and coldness in her heart, and smile so gently and elegantly.

Xu Liangdi just smiled lightly and said, "I know that my sister likes this incense, and I have already asked someone to send it to my sister's palace." ”

When Concubine Lian heard this, she hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, this incense is His Majesty's reward for my sister, and this incense is extremely precious, how can I afford it?" ”

"It's just a little incense, my sister doesn't have to mind, in this palace, only my sister doesn't dislike my identity and status, and she has a heart-to-heart relationship with me. What is this incense compared to the friendship of my sister? ”

Concubine Lian's heart moved when she heard this, and she said movingly: "My sister is a kind-hearted person, and these heart-wrenching words really make me feel ashamed in my heart." I also made friends with my sister just to be less lonely in this deep palace, and over the years, my sister has treated me with deep affection, but I neglected my sister. After that, thinking of the unbearable loneliness and loneliness in the past, as well as the warmth and joy felt in Xu Liangdi, my heart was melancholy, and my eyes were already wet with tears.

Xu Liangdi naturally understood the emotions surging in her heart, and couldn't help sighing, holding her hand, and said softly: "Where my sister said, you and I are both lonely people in this deep palace, and being able to rely on each other is the greatest fate and blessing for each other in this life." My sister is not allowed to see outsiders like this. ”

Concubine Lian held back her tears, held Xu Liangdi's hand, smiled, and nodded solemnly: "I understand, thank you sister." ”

The two looked at each other hand in hand, whispering sorrowfully, and had their own warmth.

"Niangniang, the lily lotus seed soup is ready." Rou'er walked in with a tray.

Only then did the two of them clean up their worries and focus on the lily lotus seed soup.

"Bring it in." Xu Liangdi hurriedly said.

"Yes." Rou'er brought up the lotus seed soup with a lily.

"Lily lotus seed soup, my sister made it especially for me?" Concubine Lian was pleasantly surprised.

Lily lotus seed soup has always been her favorite, and she especially loves the lily lotus seed soup made by Xu Liangdi, so every time she comes to Yiluo Palace, she will always eat a little to feel at ease.

"That's natural, my sister has always loved lily and lotus seed soup, and it happened that I sent some lilies and lotus seeds to Fengfu yesterday, so I asked Rou'er to make some, otherwise my sister won't be able to eat it today." Xu Liangdi smiled lightly.

"Sure enough, it's still my sister's best." Concubine Lian drank the lily lotus seed soup, smiled brightly, and smiled slyly at Xu Liangdi.

These movements are like a child, coupled with her sincere, unadulterated smile, just like a little girl who has obtained her beloved, Xu Liangdi can't help but smile.

"By the way, sister, I remember that Jingming also likes lily lotus seed soup." Concubine Lian put down the delicate spoon in her hand and said.

When it came to Huangfu Jingming, Xu Liangdi's face softened even more, and said with a smile: "Yes, Jingming, this child, like his sister, prefers this lily lotus seed soup, and he really has a fate." ”

Concubine Lian also smiled: "Now Jingming can enter the palace, and he will be able to eat the lily lotus seed soup made by his sister in the future." ”

"Yes, Jingming, this kid has also suffered him all these years, and I am also happy to be able to enter the palace now, but all this is like a dream, I am afraid that when I wake up that day, all this will become illusory."

Concubine Lian understood her thoughts and worries about Huangfu Jingming over the years, and also understood her gains and losses at this time, and she couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart, but she still comforted: "Sister, don't worry, Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, and it can't be fake." ”

Xu Liangdi sighed lightly and said: "Yes, the holy decree will never be fake, in the future, I don't ask Your Majesty to love Jingming more, I just ask Your Majesty to let Jingming spend his life happily and carefree, and I will be satisfied." ”

Concubine Lian's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "Sister, rest assured, my sister's wish will definitely come true." ”

"I hope so." Xu Liangdi sighed lightly, then raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Don't talk about these troubles, this lotus seed soup is almost cold, my sister eats more." ”

Concubine Lian's eyes turned, and she suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Sister, although it is a good thing for Jingming to enter the palace, has my sister thought about the potential threat here?" ”

When Xu Liangdi heard this, she instantly understood the meaning of her words, and asked with a light smile: "My sister is worried that the queen and Zhaoyi will find me trouble?" ”

Concubine Lian's eyes were worried, but she didn't deny it.

"Sister, don't worry, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, my little Liangdi, it's not worth spending so much energy on the queen and Zhaoyi."

"In any case, it's better for my sister to be careful."

"I understand, although my sister is relieved, although my sister is not talented, she has been in this deep palace for so many years, and she still has the ability to protect herself." Xu Liangdi said softly, "But my sister has to be careful, don't be implicated by me." ”

"What does my sister say, my sister's business is my business, and what is involved." Concubine Lian complained.

Xu Liangdi smiled silently, and had some thoughts in her heart.

At this time, Rou'er hurriedly came in and reported: "Niangniang, Zhaoyi Niangniang is here." ”
