Chapter II: Mutual Support
Xue Hainiang woke up, sweated, and most of them recovered.
Li took care of it carefully, for fear that something would happen to her before she entered the palace. Xue Hainiang couldn't do anything because of this, although she couldn't cry or laugh, but her heart was more moved.
She remembered that in the previous life, she did faint before entering the palace, but it would be good to recuperate for a few days, and she heard her mother say that someone had sent a thousand-year-old snow lotus to the house, but at that time, she was busy with entering the palace, and she didn't have time to thank the life-saving benefactor.
In this life, it is estimated that there is no reason to meet......
Thinking about it like this, Xue Hainiang had a sad face, half-propped her cheeks, and sat on the stone chair in the courtyard, feeling a little regretful in her heart.
Li came over with a maid carrying a soup can, and when he saw her melancholy, he couldn't help but say, "You kid, why do you have a bitter face?"
Xue Hainiang twitched the corners of her mouth, slightly coquettish, "Mother, I don't want to drink chicken soup." ”
"The imperial doctor said, drink more chicken soup to replenish it, and besides, I don't know when you enter the palace and come back. Li touched Xue Hainiang's thin cheeks with some distress, "Besides, it's just a few bowls of chicken soup, not those decoctions, can it still make you bitter?"
Xue Hainiang knew that she couldn't say anything about her mother, so she followed her, drinking the chicken soup that was greatly supplemented, but she was still frowning, as if she was wronged.
Although the Li family was a little worried about her, she didn't think much about it, but as everyone knows, Xue Hainiang was actually just thinking about the matters after entering the palace.
In her previous life, she fell in love with Nan Jiuxi at first sight, but who expected it to be someone else. In this life, she naturally can't be used again, so she will inevitably be sharp and introverted, and she will be obscure.
And that Xue Qiaoling......
Li didn't want to see his daughter's sad face, so he thought about it and changed the topic: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, you have been clamoring to go to the street, why are you settled today?"
Xue Hainiang was still worried about how to find an alliance, not only to ensure that she was not selected by Nan Jiuxi, but also to have a certain foothold in the palace, hearing Li's words, her eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity!
Besides, what kind of women does Nan Jiuxi like, and which ones became favorite concubines in the end, will she, the reborn, still know?
Seeing that Xue Hainiang's face finally had a little joy, the Li family also breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't bear it a few times.
Hai Niang is just a child after all, she is curious and interested in everything, and there are so many rules in the palace...... How can she be happy?
Xue Hainiang didn't know the concerns in her mother's heart, and ran back to the room after drinking the chicken soup.
"Miss?" Qiuxi looked at her young lady, with some doubts in her heart, she was still sullen before, why is she happy again now?
Xue Hainiang is happy, and everyone still has the etiquette of being beautiful.
"Qiuxi, you give these two young ladies an invitation, just to have a small gathering before entering the palace. Xue Hainiang wrote two invitations and confessed.
Isn't entering the palace just to be a person below and above 10,000 people? If it is difficult to even secure the palace position, how can you be a phoenix among people? Forming an alliance is the most important thing at the moment! Therefore, Xue Hainiang knew that they would inevitably come. But they don't need to be too straightforward, they are not stupid people, and they must all know their plans.
She invited Liang Bairou and Ma Zao to embroider to Xue's mansion, after a few hesitations, she still didn't plan to invite Xue Qiaoling, even if she was reborn once, she Xue Hainiang still wouldn't forgive Xue Qiaoling. In retrospect, Xue Qiaoling also ruined her unborn child, and the revenge of killing her son had to be avenged.
After noon on the second day, Liang Bairou came, with a little cowardice on her face, and when she saw Xue Hainiang, she was blessed, "I've seen Miss Xue." ”
Xue Hainiang naturally knows a little about her family background and personality, so she does not have any discomfort with her slightly "humble" behavior.
Xue Hainiang carefully looked at Liang Bairou a few times, although Liang Bairou's background and status are not high, but she is better than Roushan and is easy to get along with, in her previous life, Liang Bairou was used by someone with a heart to end up badly, and it is difficult to say in this life.
Xue Hainiang smiled and took Liang Bairou's hand, "If you call it 'Miss Xue', but it will break me, Sister Liang, you are two years older than me, just call me Hai Niang." ”
Liang Bairou was a little flattered, but she could also sense Xue Hainiang's kindness, she smiled calmly, but she was not too restrained, "Hainiang." ”
"Who is Miss Ben, it is actually the young lady of the Liang family. A charming voice came from the door of the courtyard, and the person who came was wearing a goose-yellow skirt, holding a half-foot light veil, and his delicate facial features were full of arrogance.
She was followed by three maidservants and three servants, and there was a personal maid close to her, who came from Ma Zao Embroidery.
"Miss Ma. Xue Hainiang was as gentle as Fang Cai, but she was a little alienated.
In her previous life, she was very incompatible with Ma Zao Embroidery, but Ma Zao Embroidery was a scheming, many things came to the end, the emperor felt that it was her fault, for which she had suffered a lot, and now she saw Ma Zao Embroidery, naturally there was still some estrangement in her heart, but she thought of her plan, but she didn't plan to tear her face.
A chaise longue and two small chairs in the garden, Ma Zaoxiu sat on the chaise longue with a buttocks, and pretended to smile gently, "Sister Liang, Sister Xue, why don't you hurry up and come over and sit, how tired it is to stand and talk." ”
Although Xue Hainiang didn't like it in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, she smiled at Liang Bairou and said, "Sister Liang, please sit down." ”
The three of them sat together, and Qiuxi immediately served pastries and tea.
"In a few days, we will enter the palace, there are many etiquettes in the palace, and the most important thing is to live in harmony. Xue Hainiang said carefully, and looked at the two of them.
Liang Bairou first showed a flattering smile, and then looked at Ma Zaoxiu.
Ma Zaoxiu elegantly ate half of the chestnut cake, and when she heard Xue Hainiang's words, she said without thinking, "Do you want to support each other? ”
Xue Hainiang listened to her tone, first stunned, and then understood that Ma Zaoxiu's eldest brother Ma Qijing accompanied Nan Jiuxi to fight half of the country, if the emperor did not admit it, he would be burdened with the crime of ruthlessness and unrighteousness.
To put it simply, even if you don't rely on anyone, Ma Zao embroidery can also win the favor of the emperor, plus she can be described as a natural beauty, and it is not difficult to become a favorite concubine in one fell swoop.
"Sister Zao Xiu laughed, some people want to rely on their connections to get on the throne, Sister Zao Xiu, you are so captivating the country and the city, it is inevitable to get the favor of the emperor. An uninvited voice suddenly resounded in the courtyard, full of banter.
