Chapter 106: Suspicion
I don't know when, the carved sandalwood windows are vaguely discernible outside the light rain, the bright red maple is as sad as the fire is withering, Xue Hainiang also tends to follow, and walks into the inner room.
The gilded hollow fangs furnace on the high platform is coiled with a curling incense mist on it, which is rich and abnormal, but it can't hide the smell of medicine accumulated over the years.
Searching for sporadic memories, Xue Hainiang knew that the queen mother in front of her had passed away, and the queen mother who was still alive had a head disease as early as when she was young and controlled the government and listened to the government.
"I never thought that the mourning family is now old, but I still bother the concubine to visit in person-" I didn't see anyone, and the queen mother was already teasing.
Xue Hainiang frowned slightly, and although the queen mother was arrogant and arrogant, she would not be so disgraceful to the Xiao family, thinking that the two of them must have been grudges for a long time.
Xiao Guifei smiled calmly, and her delicate jade face did not see a trace of embarrassment and unhappiness, Shi Ranfu bowed, "Concubine Xiao has seen the Queen Mother, and I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health." ”
The queen mother closed her eyes slightly, her face was white and greasy, and her face was clear and cold, and her red lips were gently pursed to add a touch of majesty to it.
"The mourning family has been in the palace for decades, and this word of peace has been heard for dozens of years, but it has also been said for dozens of years, although the mouth is reading the blessing of longevity and health, and Changle Weiyang, but whether the people who salute have curses in their hearts, but they are Daluo immortals and do not know, Guifei, you say that what the mourning family said is somewhat reasonable. The cicada-like eyelashes were lifted lightly, and the deep and dark eyes did not show the slightest emotional fluctuation, which was as intimidating as a ghostly spirit.
Under such coercion, Rao is Concubine Xiao Guifei also had to grovel, smiling and pandering, "The concubine has a humble status, how can she be registered as the queen mother as soon as she entered the palace, and the concubine is a little concubine, how dare she judge." ”
The queen mother glanced at her with great contempt, and her clear and low tone was mixed with a little ease, "If the concubine was so knowledgeable at the canonization ceremony back then, she wouldn't have ended up laughing and generous...... After entering the palace for just three years, it can be seen that the concubine's heart is even worse than before. ”
Canonization Ceremony - These four words come out.
Xue Hainiang clearly noticed that the temperature around her body dropped suddenly, and the cold pressure suddenly invaded from the front, and the person in front of Xue Hainiang was Xiao Guifei, who was holding on to her smile at the moment.
Xue Hainiang glanced sideways slightly, her gaze slid over Liang Bairou's eyebrows tightened in confusion, Qiong Ziyue seemed to be a little uneasy, she had only been in the palace for a while, and she didn't know the dusty past when Nan Jiuxi first ascended the throne......
Concubine Xiao Guifei was still smiling like a heavenly person, her slightly drooping eyes had been cold since she entered the hall, and now they had suddenly melted, and the cold glow was like quenching poison.
"Although it was just three years, it was carefully cared for by the Queen Mother*, Rao is concubine is qualification is dull, but she also has an epiphany. ”
The Queen Mother stared and tried to meet her eyes, her lips raised, and she seemed to smile with relief, "It's really transparent and lovely, don't be restrained, sit down." ”
Xiao Guifei got up as if nothing happened, and after a long time, the lotus step staggered, if it weren't for the flowers' eyes and quick hands, I am afraid that the dignity of the dignified concubine would be disgraced today.
Xue Hainiang has never liked to meet with Liang Bairou Palace, the left and right are nothing more than a war of words between concubines, Liang Bai is gentle and obedient, and after accepting the favor, he is not pampered and arrogant, and he is in harmony with the Sixth Palace.
Because of this, she and Liang Bairou have become more and more people watching the fire from the other side, watching the play on stage. From time to time, there are whispers in the ears, and the throat is cleared, and all the words are greetings that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Until the Queen Mother asked in an interested tone: "The mourning family heard that the new beautiful woman Liang is quite favored by the emperor, I don't know if it is in the palace?"
For a while, her thoughts suddenly became clear, and Xue Hainiang looked at Liang Bairou's slightly apprehensive eyes, and bowed her head slightly.
Others have never seen the almost invisible interaction between the two.
Liang Bairou got up and walked forward with lotus steps, "The concubine beauty Liang knocked on the Queen Mother, and wished the Queen Mother a long life and a long life." ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows with interest, "The mourning family remembers you, the Ma family invited you to the banquet that day, and the mourning family remembered that poem very well, and you were the one who won the first prize that day." ”
Liang Bairou blessed her body and replied truthfully, "It is an honor for the concubine to be able to enter the phoenix eyes of the queen mother, but the concubine is not the one who comes out on top, and the eldest daughter of Xue Mansion is even better in a song song that day." ”
The Queen Mother seemed to have an epiphany, I don't know if it was because of her sincerity or because of other reasons, she raised her lips and chuckled, but she added a little kindness, "Xue Fu ......" Her eyes were confused, as if she was thinking, and she arrived after a while: "The mourning family remembers that according to the regulations, this time the show girls are recruited, and the Xue Mansion should also enter one, I don't know what kind of position the emperor allowed the Xue family?"
Xue Hainiang's breath stagnated, her heart was worried, and she subconsciously lifted her eyes and stared at Liang Bairou's figure, and the slender hand hidden under the water sleeve was soaked in cold sweat for some time.
She had no intention of entering the palace as a concubine, and she also made her heart clear to Liang Baiju, and she loved Beichen Xu of Proton Pavilion......
Liang Bairou never expected the Queen Mother to ask this question, her expression was slightly stunned, if she replied truthfully, wouldn't Xue Hainiang become a talented woman who looked down on the emperor?
Liang Bairoufu opened her lips, and was about to tell the truth, but was intercepted by a whisper, Xiao Guifei Shi Ran got up, her eyes were fixed and her smile was like a flower, "Queen Mother, you have forgotten that the Xue family did not enter the emperor's eyes because of her clothes that day, so she was not selected." She smiled a little treacherously, and her beautiful eyes were as bright as stars, "If the queen mother likes the Xue family, the concubine can show the emperor and make her a girl." ”
Xiao Guifei's words were like thunder.
Since entering the palace and losing the election, Xue Hainiang has felt powerless and hesitant everywhere, this kind of fate is controlled by others, and she is very disgusted by the feeling of being powerless to struggle, but if she wants to be with Nan Jiuxi, she would rather be drowned in the lotus pond by Xue Qiaoling from the beginning.
"The emperor has never liked the difficulties of strong people, and on the day of the palace election, the emperor dislikes the Xue family......" Liang Bairou hesitated several times, and finally said what he thought.
She knew that Xue Hainiang didn't want to accompany her, and she already fell in love with Prince Beichen......
Liang Bairou asked herself, she hesitated, hesitated, panicked until she forced herself to settle down, and made the most stupid decision in the eyes of others.
She and Ma Zao embroidery have never been incompatible, and Ma Zao embroidery and the Queen Mother are relatives, the Queen Mother will not help outsiders because of one side, in such a situation, she should have coincided with Xiao Guifei, but now this one is a real dislike between her and Xiao Guifei.
The Queen Mother's eyes were deep, and her eyes full of deep meaning lingered between Xiao Guifei and Liang Bairou, and only after a while did she smile: "That's it." ”
