"Madame Zhang is really an unpredictable prophet. It's just that how do you know that the Queen Mother can't come today? ”

"You don't know this," Seeing that someone echoed her, Mrs. Zhang was interested, and when she saw that no one was looking here on the left and right, she explained in a low voice, "Didn't you see, is Concubine Jin here today?" ”

"On such an important occasion, it would be strange if Concubine Jin didn't come!"

"You don't understand this, although the relationship between the Queen Mother and Concubine Jin is weak, it has always been a matter of disagreement between face and heart, and everyone tacitly agrees. But this time, Concubine Jin went too far, annoying the Queen Mother, and she didn't even want to see Concubine Jin's face. ”

"Yo, does the old sister still know such news? Come and hear it! ”

"I'm just telling you, don't spread the word about it." Before they could nod their heads in agreement, Mrs. Zhang began to describe them vividly, "Here's the thing, Concubine Jin fell in love with a maid beside the Queen Mother, so she wanted to serve herself by her side. But that person is a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is naturally reluctant to give it. But in the end, it's a slave, Concubine Jin said more good things to please the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother might agree. But Concubine Jin made a risky move, saying that the maid stole her own pearl hairpin, tied her back to the palace privately while the queen mother was away, and was tortured, and the maid was killed before she could explain anything! ”

"What, Concubine Jin actually beat the Queen Mother's people to death? Isn't this a slap in the face of the Queen Mother, no wonder the Queen Mother refuses to forgive Concubine Jin, she did go too far. However, why didn't Concubine Jin let go of the maid, did the maid know what secret Concubine Jin had to die? ”

"Quite possibly! You also know that the relationship between Concubine Jin and Prime Minister Hua is extraordinary, and it is very likely that she will be killed if she encounters something that should be seen and what she shouldn't see. ”

The two of them muttered quietly for a long time, until Concubine Jin, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked over to this side, and then reined in the sound of discussion.

Concubine Jin gave birth to a little prince two months ago, and I heard that the emperor loves it very much, and she will be canonized before the full moon. Although she has just given birth, Concubine Jin's figure is quite perfect, and she is still as delicate as a girl. Because she was a first-time mother, Concubine Jin's eyes had a touch of gentle light, making her even more beautiful.

Raising a glass with everyone to return the salute to Concubine Jin, Baili Lan began to observe her secretly. I don't know if it was arranged by the queen, or if Concubine Jin did it on purpose, the seat she was sitting on was just on the left side of the emperor. When looking at the side of Emperor Beining from the side, his eyes fell on Hua Xiongfeng, who was sitting diagonally below, and if he didn't look carefully, he really couldn't tell who Concubine Jin was looking at.

But who is Baili Lan, who is secretly investigating. It was only a moment's effort, and she had already noticed the eyebrows between Concubine Jin and Hua Xiongfeng, it seemed that the rumors were true, and there was really something unspeakable between these two people.

Baili Lan pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled, thinking that it was really worth the trip.

But just as Bai Lilan was pondering and planning, he suddenly felt a cold wind-like gaze coldly sweeping over and falling directly on him. Bai Lilan looked back keenly, but only saw the side of a woman, thin and beautiful.

Squinting at the side of the man, Baili Lan felt very familiar. But she knew that she had never seen that woman in this world. Where does that sense of familiarity come from?

"Qiushuang, look at the woman in pink over there, what is the origin?"

When Qiu Shuang heard this, she looked at Baili Lan's line of sight, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and she whispered, "Isn't that the third lady!" ”

Third Miss, Bailixi?

This answer surprised Baili Lan very much. Didn't Bailisa say last time that Bailiqian and her aunt went back to their home, why did they appear here?

All unknown answers are potential dangers, Baili Lan immediately asked Dongxue to go out to investigate Bai Liqian's affairs, Bai Lisa once said that Bai Lilan and Bai Liqian had a conflict, and this stubborn third sister also ran away in a bad mood. At that time, Bai Lilan had been busy helping the second sister find the child, and she didn't have time to talk more about the conflict between herself and the third sister. But today, she couldn't ignore this problem, because Bai Lilan knew from that murderous gaze that the third sister was extremely resentful of herself.

After a while, Dongxue quietly returned to Baili Lan's side, lowered her head and whispered in her ear, "County Lord, the third lady followed Xiao Peng, the county guard of Rong'an County, back to the capital. ”

"What is the relationship between her and Xiao Peng?"

"It is rumored to be Xiao Peng's favored concubine."

Concubine?

Bai Lilan frowned and said, "Bai Lisa once said that the third aunt is very angry, how can she let her only daughter marry as a concubine?" And that person doesn't seem to be a high-ranking official. ”

"The slave maid will need some time to investigate these things."

"You are investigating here, Chunfeng, after tonight, you go to investigate Xiao Peng. Qiushuang, you go and invite the third lady, and say I want to see her. ”

"Yes!" The two beautiful maids replied in unison.

Seeing that everyone else had been assigned tasks, Xia Yu was not happy, pouting and complaining, "Miss is eccentric!" Don't you trust Xia Yu, Xia Yu can also do things properly for you! ”

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I have more important things for you to do."

"What?"

"Stay with me and serve me well. Why, isn't this important enough? ”

Hearing Baili Lan say this, Xia Yu didn't dare to say more "no" even if he had other ideas, so he had to stand by Bai Lilan's side.

Looking at Bai Lilan and the four girls around her smiling Yan Yan, Bai Liqian clenched the wine glass in her hand, and her fingertips turned pale because of the force.

Baililan, I have worked so hard to survive just to see that you are unhappy! But now your pain is not enough, far from enough, and I will let you know what it means to live rather than die!

When Ou Zhilan saw Concubine Jin leave the banquet, she quietly left the banquet with Xiao Shizi. Because she was afraid of being seen by someone who cared about her, Ou Zhilan walked along the unlit sheep intestine path to Huarong Palace. After the palace maid's report, Ou Zhilan followed behind the palace maid and entered the inner hall of Concubine Jin.

"Yo, it seems that you are living a good life, much richer than before."

"Don't make fun of me, concubine." Thinking of the ridicule she had just received, Ou Zhilan's eyes turned red, and she said aggrievedly, "I don't know if there is an end to this road, and the enemy can't finish fighting, it's really exhausting!"

"Hmph, you're a little trick, the real intrigue, you haven't seen it. I've seen that woman a few times, she's cold on the surface and doesn't care about anything, but once you move something that belongs to her, she will definitely turn over and bite you hard. Her ruthlessness does not depend on words, but on actions. ”

"Even my cousin says so about her, so what merit do I have to surpass her." There are no outsiders, and Ou Zhilan is tired of being by Concubine Jin's side when she was a child, calling her cousin like a coquettish.

Glaring at Ou Zhilan, Concubine Jin said angrily, "As long as you are human, you will have shortcomings." The enemies are endless, as long as you catch the main enemy, the other minions don't have to pay attention at all. You're still reading too many books, and your brain is stupid. ”

"Then cousin, do you have any way to deal with Baililan?"

"What's the way," Concubine Jin leaned back on the soft couch, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "Hasn't Su Yichen never had sex with her?" The two have been married for almost a year, so she will be cured of the crime of not being guilty. Women, if they don't have children, they will be one section shorter, let alone a princess, even the queen has no children, and they are in a hurry to succeed a prince. You can seize this point, and sooner or later you will be able to kick Baili Lan out of the palace. At that time, with your status and children, wasn't the position of princess within reach. A little more brain-working, there are many ways to clean her up. ”

"Yes, thank you cousin for your teaching." Ou Zhilan said lightly, with a little ruthlessness in her eyes. Today's humiliation made her unforgettable, and one day, she would ask Baili Lan for all of it!

***

As the dinner was about to end, Bai Lilan didn't want to meet with Shu Yichen, so she planned to go back to her other courtyard first. Walking out of the noisy banquet, Bai Lilan took a deep breath, thinking that if she ate too much of this kind of royal night banquet, it was really easy to suffer from indigestion.

Walking leisurely along the promenade, Baili Lan pondered his thoughts while enjoying the rare quiet.

Rustle –

Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the gloomy grass, although it was very similar to the sound of the wind blowing through the grass branches, but Bai Lilan was still alert to find that there were people hiding in the grass!

"County Lord?"

Baili Lan shook her head, suggesting that Chunfeng should not say much, and then left the place with a few maids quickly. As she walked down the corridor, Baili Lan looked back at the place and happened to see a man with a panicked expression, standing up from the grass and hurriedly dressing in his spilled clothes. And next to him, a woman was half-seated and half-lying, wearing only a red belly pocket. Looking at the beauty of the woman's hair ornaments, I think it is either the lady of the family or the nobles in the palace.

Dream of the city? Hmph, it's a ridiculous person.

"County Lord, what did you notice just now?" It wasn't until a few people left the palace that Chunfeng asked again.

After hearing this, Bai Lilan suddenly frowned and asked, "Didn't the former prince close the guard?" ”

"That's right, I heard that the emperor didn't allow him to participate in today's night banquet. It seems that the emperor is really angry, how could such a scene in the past be missing the prince's figure. ”

"Which lady in the palace is friendly with the prince?"

Qiushuang thought about it carefully before replying, "The prince lost his mother since he was a child, but because the emperor favored him, all the palace ladies also rushed to take care of him. Since the age of ten, the crown prince has been adopted by the queen, and his status is even more expensive, except for Concubine Jin, I am afraid that no one will flatter the former prince. ”

"No, I mean, which palace concubine is the former prince...... There is an improper relationship. ”

Qiushuang paused, and said hesitantly, "The prince has always behaved perversely, and it is not impossible to say that he has an affair with any lady." There was once a Zhaoyi who heard that he had an affair with the former prince, and after being discovered by the emperor, he did not punish the former prince, but gave the Zhaoyi to the former prince. It's just that the woman's fate is not good, saying that she was ravaged to death by the women in the prince's palace. Since then, the former prince has restrained a lot, at least he will not disturb the ladies of the palace with great fanfare. ”
