Passing through the Zhong Cui Gate, standing inside the door, I smelled the fragrance of jasmine. There are a lot of jasmine flowers planted in the yard, and it is a good time to bloom and the fragrance is overflowing.

Smelling the fragrance of jasmine, Dong E'an Ping and Tian Mi entered the hall together, and fresh jasmine flowers were also placed in the vase in the hall, and the fragrance of flowers wafted by, which was refreshing.

"Erchen greets E-niang." Dong E'an Ping took the lead in kneeling down and buttoning her head to ask for peace, and Tian Mi also lazily followed her movements, and said softly: "Eniang is well." ”

"Let's get started." Ma Jia glanced at Tian Mi with Qingqing, and did not reprimand her for her poor etiquette, she had long been accustomed to her lazy appearance.

Ma Jia Yiqing was very dissatisfied with her son's side Fujin, but she married into the door, and her son was very favored, so she didn't say much, so as not to be dissatisfied with her son. If the family is not harmonious, everything will not go well, Ma Jia Yiqing does not want the family to be restless, so she can endure it naturally, and she will not worry about the juniors.

For Dong E's Anping, Ma Jiayiqing was not very satisfied. In her eyes, Dong E's Anping is not a jealous master, it is precisely because Dong E's well-behaved and endearing people are loved, and Yinzhi is not bad to her. Although it is not as spoiled as Tian Mi, it is also respectful and harmonious.

It's just that Ma Jia Yiqing doesn't like her indisputably much, but as a wife, she can't firmly grasp her husband's heart, and she is pressed by the side room, which makes Ma Jia Yiqing very dissatisfied with her. Although Dong E'an Ping is not good at speaking, she can also do what she likes, and often coax her very happy, Ma Jia Yiqing also turns a blind eye, but asks about those things in her daughter-in-law's room.

In addition, Dong E'an Ping gave birth to her eldest grandson Hongqing at the end of last year, even if it is for the sake of her grandson's face, Ma Jia Yiqing will not embarrass her daughter-in-law.

This morning, Ma Jia Yiqing received a lot of rewards, and she was in a good mood. At this time, they came to say goodbye, and Ma Jia Yiqing immediately asked Velvet to bring the good things they had rewarded and let them choose.

"Take whatever you like." Ma Jia said with a smile on her face.

Dong E'an Ping respectfully got up and thanked her, looked at the dazzling hairpin rings on the wooden plate held by Velvet, and then smiled at Tian Mi beside her: "Sister pick first." ”

"Don't let me go, yesterday my lord rewarded me with a lot of good things, and my dressing table was full. Sister, you can pick it yourself, sister, I'll just take the same. If my sister likes it, it doesn't matter if I take it all back. Tian Mi didn't get up, she just leaned on the pear wood flower chair, looking at her with a smile.

These words aroused the dissatisfaction of Ma Jia Yiqing and Dong E'anping, both of them were not very good, looking at Tian Mi with anger in her heart, Ma Jia Yiqing wanted to accuse her, but saw Ming Cheng walking into the door quickly, and said a few words beside her.

Ma Jia Yiqing's face turned pale, and he stood up from the throne and followed Ming Cheng out.

Seeing her leave in a hurry, Tian Mi asked Dong E'an Ping with a smile: "Sister thinks, why did E-Niang leave?" ”

"How do I know?" As soon as Ma Jia Yiqing left, Dong E'an Ping immediately changed her face, stared at Tian Mi's face and said, "Don't rely on your own posture to coax the master so that he can't find the north." The status of the master is noble, and there will be beauties entering the door in the future, and when the time comes, don't run to me to cry when you fall out of favor. ”

Tian Mi said with a disdainful face: "Don't worry, you can't see that day." ”

"People don't be too confident, they think they are too long, and something will happen." Dong E'an Ping glanced at her, threw away the Dongling jade silk hairpin that she had held in her hand for a long time, and sneered.

It's not that Tian Mi is confident, it's just that Tian Mi knows what kind of woman Yinzhi likes. Moreover, Yinzhi is a long-term lover, and he will never see one and love another. Even if Yinzhi doesn't like her one day, it's not a big deal for her. She didn't like Yinzhi as much as Dong Anping thought.

"Two aunts and grandmothers, something is wrong, why are you still arguing." An old woman walked in outside the door, and when she saw the two of them competing against each other, she frowned and said.

"What's wrong?" Dong E'an Ping saw that it was her grandmother who was waiting for her, and asked her suspiciously.

"The third elder brother promised to send Gardenia back, and this time he took care of it, and the mother knew about it, and she was furious in the side hall." The old lady was full of sorrow.

"What?" Dong E'an Ping was also surprised, no longer bothered with Tian Mi, walked out quickly, and went to the side hall.

Tian Mi was still sitting in the chair, as if the things outside had nothing to do with her, drinking tea leisurely.

"Isn't the master worried?" Tian Mi's personal palace maid asked.

"Worried about what?" Tian Mi didn't care.

"Gardenia promised to be the emperor's concubine, even if she is not favored and has a humble background, she is still the emperor's woman." She couldn't understand why her master looked like this, and she really didn't look like her, so she had to express her worries: "The third elder brother sent Gardenia and promised to come back, which was unreasonable. also took care of it personally, and if it was passed on, it would damage the reputation of the third elder brother. ”

"Reputation?" Tian Mi sneered: "Who doesn't know the past of the third elder brother and Gardenia? If the third elder brother still wants his reputation, he should have kept his distance from Gardenia as promised, and he would have gone as far as he could when he met. But the third elder brother not only didn't do this, but sent her back in public and took care of her considerately. This shows that in the heart of the third elder brother, he did not regard Gardenia as a woman of Huang Amma. What he doesn't care about, what are we bothering about? ”

Hearing Tian Mi say this, Zhu Zi was even more worried, and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter, does the third elder brother have to take care of people in vain?" The master is not worried at all? ”

"What are you doing in a hurry? Didn't the old witch stop it? With the old witch here, who can spread the gossip? Don't want to die? How is the third elder brother to other women, and what does it have to do with me? It's enough that he's still spoiling me. Tian Mi spoke easily, and the whole person sat in the chair, which was very comfortable.

And the old witch in Tian Mi's mouth was angrily scolding Yu Yun in the side hall at this time, shameless, misbehaving, and implicating Yinzhi.

Gardenia Yun didn't argue, looking at her spitting and angry, she wanted to laugh.

She placed her right hand on her right ankle and kneaded it gently. It seems that there is still a vague remnant of the temperature of Yinzhi's fingers on it, which makes her reluctant to give up. If it weren't for Ma Jia Yiqing rushing into the door, Yinzhi would still be rubbing her ankles for her. It's been a long time since she's been so close to Yinzhi.

Thinking about it, Gardenia couldn't help but retch.

Ma Jia Yiqing immediately stopped the abuse, looked at her in shock, and her trembling fingers gradually descended from her head, and finally stopped on her abdomen: "Are you pregnant?" ”

Gardenia smiled in a low voice: "Can't you?" ”

Ma Jia Yiqing only felt dizzy, but fortunately, Ming Cheng helped her quickly, so she didn't faint to the ground. Ma Jia Yiqing stood up straight, glared at Yiyun angrily, turned around and pulled Yinzhi out of the side hall.

Gardenia looked at their departing backs, retched again, and then put her hand on her abdomen.

"I still can't hide it." Gardenia smiled bitterly: "If you should come, you will always come." ”

In the Yikun Palace, with his back to the round window, he stood in front of the mahogany moire bookcase, admiring a landscape painting of the Ming Dynasty.

"Niangniang, there is news from Zhong Cui Palace." Mi Yi came in from outside the door, walked straight into the study on the east side, and said to Chunxi: "Today, Gardenia promised to take a foot in the imperial garden, and when I returned to the palace, I happened to meet the third elder brother. Seeing that Gardenia promised that her legs and feet were inconvenient, the third elder brother personally helped her back to Zhongcui Palace. ”

Chun Xi raised her head, very interested in her topic, and asked with a smile, "How did Concubine Rong react?" ”

"I was angry, and when I heard about it, I went into the dormitory where Gardenia promised to make a big fuss." Miyi smiled: "Moreover, before Izuku promised to sleep in the dormitory, someone also heard the sound of retching. About Gardenia promised to have joy. ”

"Has she been sleeping lately?" Chun Xi asked again.

Mi Yi shook her head and said, "The servant has already asked Father-in-law Gu to check the records of the Jing Shi Room, and Yu promised that he would not sleep for at least three months. If Gardenia promised to be pregnant now, I'm afraid ......"

"You ask the consultant to inform the people of Zhong Cui Palace about this matter." Chunxi laughed out loud and instructed Miyi: "Let him accidentally leak the news, and make sure that Concubine Rong knows that even if she agrees to be pregnant, she is not a dragonborn." ”

"In that case, isn't it too ruthless to promise Gardenia?" Honey is a little unbearable.

"When I rescued Gardenia Yun from the Xin Zhi Library, this palace had already expected that there would be today." Chun Xi said indifferently: "Concubine Rong proposed to draft for the emperor herself, and Concubine De took this opportunity to make Yu Yun the emperor's concubine." What kind of love the third elder brother has for Gardenia, this palace is not sure. But Bengong is very sure of Gardenia's deep affection for the third elder brother, and it is precisely because of this relationship that Bengong ruthlessly decided to sacrifice Gardenia. ”

"Is Niangniang planning to use Gardenia to promise to deal with Concubine Rong?" Honey asked.

"This palace is just using Gardenia Yun to provoke her relationship with the third elder brother. Gardenia Yun is just a chess piece, and it is another chess piece that is really going to be used against Concubine Rong. Thinking of the things that Ma Jia Yiqing was doing in secret, Chunxi's heart ached.

"This palace really misses the time when I conspired with Concubine Rong to frame the concubine." Chun Xi suddenly sighed: "If we have always been friends, how good it would be to be able to be consistent with the outside world forever." ”

"It was Concubine Rong who did it first, if it weren't for her, how could the eleventh elder brother be killed?" Honey said hatefully.

Chun Xi clenched her fists, her heart was sullen and breathless, she sat down on the rosewood flower pattern Tengxin circle chair, and said sadly: "The real murderer has been cut by a thousand knives in this palace, but the accomplices and the people who slandered are still alive and well." Sooner or later, the palace will make them pay a terrible price. ”

Yinyu's death has always been a pain in his heart. No matter what the harem dispute is, the child is innocent. Chunxi also believes that killing Yinyu is not Ma Jia Yiqing's original intention. After all, she has experienced the pain of losing her child so many times, don't do to others what you don't want to do, Ma Jia Yiqing will not hurt the children. However, it was precisely because of Ma Jia Yiqing's ambition that this tragedy happened.

Chun Xi also didn't want innocent people to be hurt in his plan. However, there are many things that I can't help myself. On this road, it is inevitable that some people will be sacrificed.

At least, Gardenia is willing to become this chess piece, rather than being passively used. Like Yinyu, innocent death.

Beneath the power is an endless stream of bones. Some people have fought for it for a lifetime, but they still can't fight for the arrangement of fate.
