Chapter 136: Chinese New Year's Eve
"Concubine—"
Liang Bairou's gloomy eyes suddenly condensed a little light when she heard this claim, but her slender and boneless fingertips grabbed Xue Hainiang's emaciated arm as if they were endowed with divine power, as if they wanted to buckle a piece of meat on her arm, and the urgency in her eyes made Xue Hainiang a little stunned for a while.
"How did you get involved with Concubine Xiao? Didn't you persuade me not to get too close to Concubine Xiao in the past?" her frowning brows seemed to be a little gloomy.
Xue Hainiang didn't know why Liang Bairou would react so much when she heard that she and Xiao Guifei had joined forces to rescue her, it stands to reason that now that someone can save her from this predicament, shouldn't she be subconsciously surprised?
"Sister Liang, although Concubine Xiao Guifei is not a good person, she is very deep in the city and knows the hearts of the people, but aside from these, she is powerful and controls the life and death of people in the six palaces, if there is some use value for her, she will be able to protect you - although you can't compare with him in the past, you can still be called a saint, and no one in the palace dares to deceive you and harm you. But now, the situation of Chonghua Hall is not yesterday, if you want to gain a foothold in the palace, now you can only rely on people you can rely on.
And in the harem, except for the queen mother, who can temporarily protect you and me, is Xiao Guifei, the queen mother has become a faction with Concubine Xian, and we are hostile to Concubine Xian, and now we can only be under the command of Concubine Xiao. Xue Hainiang slowed down her voice, caressed her black hair like a waterfall with her palm, and picked out the pros and cons one by one.
Liang Bairou finally let go of her white fingers hopelessly, closed her eyes weakly, her thin lips moved, and she murmured: "But what use do you have for her? ”
Xue Hainiang was stunned, and her gaze fell on her lightly twisted eyebrows, as if there was endless sorrow hidden in it.
For a while, she couldn't bear to tell the truth, she loved Nan Jiuxi so much and regarded her as her husband, but now she was abandoned by her, it must be despair that is better than the pain of illness.
"Sister Liang, you still miss the emperor now-" Xue Hainiang asked a little out of place, seeing her distant mountain-like willow eyebrows trembling slightly, and then said: "I remember that before entering the palace, you told me that you had a relationship with the emperor when you were young, and since then you have never forgotten it, and you have been thinking about it for many years, and now I ask you again, he treats you like this, have you ever missed him?"
Xue Hainiang clearly saw her weak and thin knuckles slowly curled up, clenched into fists, and pursed her lips extremely tightly, only after a while did she hear her sigh, "I don't know ......"
Just as Xue Hainiang was hesitating whether to tell the truth, Hua Hua had already come in the same disguise as her, and her expression was a little eager, "Leave with me quickly, the guards who have changed shifts are leaving, you and I can leave quietly while we are now mixed in, otherwise if someone finds out, not to mention that you and the beauty will not be able to save your life, even Niangniang's will be affected." ”
Xue Hainiang knew the pros and cons, it was not easy for Xiao Guifei to arrange for her to visit in the Chonghua Hall in such a strict guard, and if people noticed it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't come again-" Liang Bairou closed her eyes slightly, and her low and hoarse voice no longer reverted to the delicate warbler on the concubine's birthday, and the aftermath of the heavenly voice in her ears, she turned her head and turned her back.
Xue Hainiang knew that she was afraid that she would be reluctant to leave, and her life would be in danger.
Xue Hainiang was not an indecisive person, so she raised her hand indifferently to wipe away the water that had not seeped from the corners of her eyes, raised the corners of her lips arrogantly, and left with resolute and firm steps.
"You and I will get you out. In the cold inner hall, there was only a clear and loud voice left.
......
Perhaps as the first month approached, the sky was getting colder and colder, and the sky was full of snow all day long, as if the sky and the earth were frozen at a glance.
Since the Chonghua Hall and Liang Bairou said goodbye that day, Xue Hainiang has never mentioned her to anyone, Rao is usually when Concubine Xiao Guifei called her to go to the palace to sit down, she intended to lead the topic to Liang Bairou, but she was also lightly brought by Xue Hainiang.
Xiao Guifei was surprised at first, if it weren't for Xue Hainiang still being 'loyal' and staying in Nanyuan very peacefully, she would definitely be speculating whether Xue Hainiang and Liang Bairou had secretly discussed countermeasures.
On the thirtieth day of winter, this day is particularly cold.
Perhaps because it has been snowing for three consecutive days, there is a thick layer of snowdrifts on the ground, and the red plum tips in the courtyard are decorated with white for it, and the red lining is more and more bright and moving.
The palace was already lively in the morning, the palace people and guards were endless, each performing their duties, the Qionglou hall was already hanging high, the banners were already squarely pasted all over the palace, and the fireworks had been arranged by the Internal Affairs Office early, so they waited for the emperor to feast on Chinese New Year's Eve to add joy.
Although Xiao Guifei is not the mistress of the harem Zheng'er Eight Classics, she can take charge of the phoenix seal, since Nan Jiuxi ascended the throne, all Chinese New Year's Eve has been presided over by her, and the Empress Dowager has guided from the side, although this year has added a holy concubine, although the Empress Dowager intends to let her share the power of the noble concubine, but it also hinders the virtuous concubine from carrying six jia.
Qiankun Palace can be described as Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to the Emperor's Yangxin Hall and the Empress Dowager's Bronze Bird Hall, the most important place in the city is the courtiers, concubines and concubines, and the congratulatory gifts are almost flooding the treasury of the Qiankun Palace.
In such a situation, even the servants who served with them became busy.
Only Xue Hainiang of Nanyuan is still incompatible with this scene, and she still lives in the inner room all day long, leaning on the collapse, and the girl who serves her intended to persuade one or two, but she was also supported by Xue Hainiang's words.
Seeing that Xue Hainiang had no intention of playing, the girl no longer delayed with her, pouted and jumped out of Nanyuan and stuck into the crowd.
Xue Hainiang looked at her cheerful back, but she was a little distracted.
The girl's name is Suizi, she is sixteen years old, and she is the same age as Mingxi, but her temperament is very different. He looks very delicate, with a pair of smart eyes embedded in his face the size of a goose egg, and when he laughs, his mouth reflects deep dimples.
Although Mingxi also loves to laugh, after all, because of the bumpy situation when she was young, her cheerful temperament is more restrained and cautious.
Xue Hainiang couldn't help but think that if it was Mingxi who was standing in front of her instead of Suizi, seeing him lazily living in the palace, he must have tried his best to persuade her out of the palace. ”
A shouting from outside brought back his thoughts.
The dark gray pupils couldn't help but dim a little, the shallow lips raised a smile arc that was difficult to discern, and the sight passed through the half-hidden Nanmu carved windows, and the eyes were touched by a festive red, which was the person shouting outside, holding a big blessing character and gesturing how to paste.
