Chapter 39: The Uninvited Guest
Yao Rui, the flower who will wake up, is still indulging in the grace on the surface of the underworld and the alienation in his heart, his expression is in a trance, his eyes are blurred, but he can hear the little eunuch outside the dormitory shouting: "The princess has arrived!
Not long after, two dazzling figures appeared in Hua Yaorui's bedroom.
Hua Yaorui got up in a hurry, wearing only a plain white silk bedgown with white lilies, and she was draped with thousands of hairs, and knelt down with a pale complexion: "Concubine see the princess Niangniang, Hui Ming Concubine Niangniang!"
Concubine Zhixue looked impatient, and did not say anything to make Hua Yao Rui get up, but sat sideways and sat at the Eight Immortals table carved with a bewitching peony pattern on a golden silk nanmu in the center of the dormitory, with a strong sense of reproach in her tone: "What, are you not hypocritical enough?"
Hua Yao Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, would turn her somewhat blood-colored face pale again, and at this moment, she was suffering from great pain at the same time, but also under tremendous psychological pressure.
But she had to cater to her: "What does the mother mean, the concubine doesn't understand!"
Hua Yaorui's weak and pretentious appearance and this delicate and numbing voice made Zhixue even more unpromising, she seemed to see the appearance of Fu Ming's warm companionship, the impatient look on her face became more and more solemn, and she turned her eyes away from looking at Hua Yaorui who was kneeling on the ground, and only fixed her eyes on Wu Lingyun, the concubine of Hui Ming, who was standing beside her.
Wu Lingyun understood, and a sneer flashed on her always unruly face: "In Wanhua Garden today, the Queen Mother and the Princess have already paved the way for you, why are you reluctant to shed the fetus in your womb, right now, although the king is angry, he has only grounded that slut, and he may return to favor one day." The truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Concubine Shu Ming is so smart and won't understand, right?"
Ask yourself, one of the things she regretted most in her life was to take refuge in Zhixue, the concubine who was also from the divine realm, although Zhixue was also a little scheming, but she was an impatient and arrogant person, and she couldn't make a big deal, so she really endured too many grievances.
But then again, it is precisely because of Zhixue's invincibility and worrying IQ that she can be useful.
Hua Yaorui knelt on the ground, and was also extremely impatient in her heart, but she said extremely patiently on her face: "Niangniang, it is precisely because this grass cutting cannot be eradicated that the concubine is left with this trouble. Today's Liu Xiaoxiao is not as good as the imperial concubine of the day, and the concubine is not sure of hitting with one blow, so she has to figure it out slowly. ”
Hearing this, Zhixue looked at the mottled shadows of the trees, the strong impatience on her face gradually faded a little, and she turned her eyes and said, "How do you say this?"
Without Zhixue's approval, Hua Yaorui still knelt on the cold ground, with a deferential expression, and said eloquently: "Niangniang, you think, the original imperial concubine's appearance has declined, and the king is just unforgettable for her old feelings, and the concubine lost the child in her womb, and the king already loves her, so the concubine can hit with one hit." But today's noble concubine Liu Xiaoxiao is a celestial person, young and beautiful, and has the same appearance as the princess of Xianying, plus the king is quite conniving at it, and under the anger, it is just grounded, even if the concubine really loses the child, what can she do, it is better to keep the child, so as to slowly figure it out. ”
Hearing this, a slight anger suddenly flashed on Zhi Xue's face, and the slender jade arm that was half on the table of the Eight Immortals gently left the table, solemnly placed it on her knees, and reproached: "Lingyun, why is this palace confused, are you also confused, the ground is so cold, don't help Yao Rui up." ”
When Wu Lingyun heard this, she smiled gently: "Yes, yes, yes, it's not a concubine." After that, he personally helped Hua Yaorui up.
After getting up, Hua Yaorui only felt dizzy, and after a long pause, he came back to his senses and said, "Give the concubine some more time, and the big thing can be done." ”
Zhi Xue pulled Hua Yaorui's hand, the temperature of her palm infected Hua Yaorui's cold jade fingers, and she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "This palace has always known that you are resourceful, and this matter will be entrusted to you." ”
Hua Yaorui smiled lightly and bowed slightly: "The concubine should do her best." ”
The three of them then sat down in turn, chatting a few words, and Zhi Xue left Hua Yaorui's Shuhe Palace with Hui Ming Concubine Wu Lingyun.
After this incident, Fu Ming did cold Liu Xiaoxiao for many days, although he always appeared in Liu Xiaoxiao's jade hall like a ghost at midnight, but he no longer had the grace of the past.
Time passed, looking at Liu Xiaoxiao, who was getting thinner and thinner, Fu Ming felt quite unbearable in his heart, coupled with the fact that the fetus in the womb of Concubine Shuming Hua Yao Rui was becoming more and more stable, and finally after half a month, the grounding of the Yutang Hall was lifted.
In the past two months, Liu Xiaoxiao only felt physically and mentally exhausted, lazy all day long, and after lifting the grounding, he often leaned on the rattan chair in the small garden, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know what to think.
Since Liu Xiaoxiao was grounded, there have been many fewer knots in the palace. Liu Xiaoxiao is very optimistic about this, she doesn't like these people who are happy to welcome her, but now she is happy and quiet.
But at noon on the first day of lifting the grounding in the Jade Hall Palace, two uninvited guests were ushered in in the Jade Hall again.
These two are none other than Li Ronghua from Tingyuxuan and Sun Meiren from Lan Linxuan. These two begged to meet three times when Liu Xiaoxiao was favored, but Liu Xiaoxiao at that time did not have the intention of seeing these two, and this time they fell out of favor, these two met again, but they mentioned Liu Xiaoxiao's interest.
As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is often the icing on the cake, and it is not easy to send charcoal in the snow.
Both of them are from the demon world, and they are the most unfavored little transparent in the entire Hades Mansion, and because of the tense atmosphere between the gods and demons, they are even more transparent in the harem of the Hades Mansion.
When the two saw Liu Xiaoxiao, they were both slightly stunned, and then they saluted decently. Liu Xiaoxiao lazily snuggled on the vine bench and waved his hand to signal the two of them to be casual.
The three of them sat down, and then a palace lady dressed in pink palace clothes came with a fragrant rose tea.
"The two sisters have been here many times, and they have come to see the palace, but is there something wrong?"
The rose tea in Liu Xiaoxiao's hand was blooming with large petals, and when she took a sip, it was like being in the midst of flowers, and she showed a look of enjoyment on her face, and asked lightly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and took out a palm-sized oval jade-colored brand from their arms, the whole body was crystal clear, it was originally green jade, but it exuded scarlet brilliance, circulating dazzling light, and the red tassels swayed with the wind, driving the light curtain-like lead, which made people look at it and fall into it.
Liu Xiaoxiao took the jade-colored brand in the palm of his hand and watched it for a moment, then handed it back and said: "It's really magical, you can see that it is an extraordinary product at a glance." ”
