Everyone gathered around to talk and laugh, and the words involved nothing more than the private matters of the daughter's family, or the fashionable clothes and satin in the imperial city of Beijing, hairpins and hairpins.

Although Xue Hainiang seemed to be extremely involved in the topic, she never let down her guard at all.

To her surprise, although Mrs. Chu was sitting among everyone, her mind was not at all, she frequently drank tea in her cup, raised her eyes to look outside the pavilion from time to time, and gently pressed her flat lower abdomen with her palm from time to time.

Xue Hainiang felt strange, and asked in the noise of everyone, "Mrs. Chu, do you feel uncomfortable in your abdomen......"

This reminder caused thousands of ripples like stones thrown into the lake, and everyone subconsciously looked towards Mrs. Chu, with a little inquiry and nervousness in their eyes.

If the son of Mrs. Chu made a mistake because of this pavilion, even if this matter had nothing to do with them, it would be difficult to guarantee that the prince would be angry at that time...... After all, this is the first child of Qinghui Wangfu.

Mrs. Chu's face seemed to be a little pale, she shook her head and nodded again, she slowly got up with the maid's arm, and said to everyone, more precisely to Xue Hainiang and Mrs. Liu, "Although the concubine feels that her body is fine, she also asks the side concubine Niangniang to forgive her sins, and the concubine has to retire first." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled as if she knew everything, "What did Mrs. Chu say, since she is unwell, she should rest, how can this concubine blame." Leng Buding glanced at the personal maid beside her, "Haosheng is waiting for your master, if there is any difference between her and the child in her womb, this concubine will ask you." ”

The maid hurriedly said yes, and that panicked appearance really made Xue Hainiang doubt whether she could see the child in her master's womb.

For some reason, Xue Hainiang always felt that Mrs. Ling would not lose her tricks so easily in today's business......

After Mrs. Chu left, she paid more and more attention to Mrs. Ling's movements, watching her talk and laugh with Mrs. Yin from time to time, and watching her and Mrs. Meng from time to time seem to bow their heads to discuss something, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.

Xue Hainiang couldn't help but smile when she saw this, she leaned to the side, approached Mrs. Liu, who was sitting next to her, and said in a low voice: "How can I look at Madame and seem to be extremely discordant with Madam Ling......"

Mrs. Liu also said ambiguously as if she was sloppy: "Since the side concubine has this question, I think I also asked something, if you have any questions, you might as well say it directly, I have always been stupid, I'm afraid I can't understand the side concubine's roundabouts." ”

Xue Hainiang teased, and said in her heart If even you can't figure out my extraneous voice, I'm afraid that the ladies in this mansion and her Xue Hainiang will really talk about chickens and ducks.

Xue Hainiang did as she wished, and asked frankly, "Concubine Ben just looked at Mrs. Ling, and it seems that she is coming for Mrs. Liu." ”

Mrs. Liu was still playing dumb riddles with her, and she didn't break it, and smiled happily, "I? What capital do I have to ask her to beat my idea? I am not as blessed as Mrs. Chu, and I am pregnant with a son, and I am afraid that the concubine will be too careful." ”

Xue Hainiang saw that he didn't break it, and she didn't say much, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip very comfortably.

Mrs. Ling smiled skillfully, her naturally charming eyes were slightly raised, she patted her palm, and after a while, she could see the maids coming with soup.

Mrs. Ling explained with a smile: "This is the sugar lotus soup specially prepared by the concubine for the sisters, it is very delicious, and it can be consumed, especially suitable for everyone who has just used desserts." ”

After that, he motioned to the maid to present the sugar lotus soup one by one.

Xue Hainiang looked at the sugar lotus soup in front of her, smiled without saying a word, and gently scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth - but as Mrs. Ling said, it was delicious and delicious, and it should be freshly baked, and it was very warm.

Mrs. Liu also got the sugar lotus soup, she did not taste it as comfortably and calmly as Xue Hainiang, but sat quietly on the collapse, as if to observe whether everyone here had any abnormalities after using it.

It's not that she's too vigilant, but that although Xue Hainiang may have talked about it casually, it was a thorn in her heart.

As Xue Hainiang said, she and Mrs. Ling have always had some grievances, although she didn't care, but according to Mrs. Ling's strong and tenacious temperament, I am afraid that she still remembers that matter.

"Oops-"

Accidents happen in an instant.

Xue Hainiang saw that the maid who was going to present the sugar lotus soup to Mrs. Ling's table inadvertently sprinkled the sugar lotus soup on Mrs. Ling's gorgeous clothes, and Mrs. Ling was angry and said to the maid: "How to do things!"

The maid hurriedly kowtowed, "Madame forgive the sin, the slave and maid deserve to die." ”

Mrs. Liu smiled a little dimly and inexplicably, "It's just a piece of clothing, how can it be tied to the dead." After that, he looked at Mrs. Ling again, and said as if he meant something: "Mrs. Ling, you say yes, it's common for girls to be careless, so let's stop this matter." ”

Xue Hainiang seemed to already know what Mrs. Liu's move meant, and seemed to be pleading for the girl, hoping that Mrs. Ling would understand, but in fact, she was trying to test it.

Mrs. Ling has always liked to work against Mrs. Liu, which is already well known in the Qinghui Palace, if it is according to Mrs. Ping's style, even if the girl is not executed in front of everyone, it is only by beating and punishing her. You must know that since Mrs. Ling went to the yamen for punishing the maids, the maids in her yard are all death deeds, and even if they are dead, no one can hold them accountable.

Xue Hainiang also wanted to know if Mrs. Ling had become a demon this time, so she smiled and said nothing.

Mrs. Ling lowered her chin slightly, still looking domineering, looking at the girl, in a tone that seemed to be a beggar, "Since Mrs. Liu is interceding for you, then Mrs. Ben will give up, and you can go down first." ”

The maid breathed a sigh of relief, surprised and at the same time secretly sighed that she was lucky, and hurriedly retreated.

Mrs. Ling's maid of dowry hurriedly helped her master, and Mrs. Ling immediately said: "The concubine will go down to change her clothes for the time being, and then come back to taste the sweet soup and pastries with you later." ”

Xue Hainiang bowed her head lightly and motioned for her to go and come back quickly.

Mrs. Liu looked like she was watching a good show, and raised her chin at Mrs. Ling's distant figure, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, "This good show looks like it's about to go on stage, Concubine Fang." ”

Her tone was completely devoid of the awe of a concubine when facing the side room, as if she had been on an equal footing with Xue Hainiang, completely forgetting her identity.

Xue Hainiang didn't seem to mind this matter at all, Shi Shiran said: "It's just that there are fewer scenes on stage, I'm afraid I won't be happy to see Mrs. Liu." ”
