This is the first time Yu Ji has faced Xiao Qi directly. Her words are pertinent, and it can be seen that she has been observing her every move during the banquet.

Yu Ji suddenly felt that this Xiao Qi had become an existence that could not be ignored.

"Xiao Qi, I have to tell you, if you offend the Lord, even if I am not your master, I can kill you immediately. You'd better say something about why I won't kill you, otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you the face of the master. ”

A person who ostensibly admires the Dharma will also fight and kill when it comes to himself.

Xiao Qi's attitude towards Yu Ji had been prepared for a long time.

"Niangniang is kind-hearted, and she sincerely worships the Buddha every day, and even the Buddha was moved by Niangniang. Such a person will not kill. ”

"You are sure that I don't dare to understand you, so you dare to be presumptuous in front of me. Then you will underestimate me, you just died as a slave, just say that you slipped on a snowy road and fell to your death, or you stole in my palace and were disposed of by a slave, whatever you want, you can find a reason for your death. You don't really think that I dare to do anything to you. ”

Yu Ji is a transparent person, and she knows that she must not be held in the hands of a slave.

"Mother, you won't kill someone who is good for you. The slave maid has been in the palace for more than a year, and she has known the mother for more than a year. Although Niangniang does not come out, she has a big plan in her heart, often plans, and is cautious, so the slave feels that shallow people such as Wang Ji Niangniang will not become Niangniang's partner. Niangniang also disdains to be with them. ”

"The harem is all a family, speaking of which, we are all serving the king, what is not together. The queen mother hates gangs the most, and the harem is happy, so you don't want to put this hat on my head. ”

"The harem family, that's meant for those princes and noble women. also serves the king, lives in a palace, of course, a family. But in the event of a calamity falling from the sky, the merits of the family are their life charms, but what about you, Niangniang? If you have no family background, if there is no one to rely on, the consequences will be very disastrous. ”

Xiao Qi slowly raised his head, looked at Yu Ji and said, "Do you remember Chang Ji?"

At the mention of Chang Ji, Yu Ji was slightly stunned.

The woman who died in the palace, the woman who was not treated well until she died.

Chang Ji's death, she knew in her heart, and it was precisely because of Chang Ji's death that she began to worry about herself. Even if it was sent by the Hou Mansion, there was such a tragic end.

What about her?

What about her, who is helpless, whose parents are dead, and who has to rely on others to survive?

Since then, Yu Ji has been worried about her future.

She is not favored by Xiao Yi, and she is not from a famous family, so it can be said that she is the most dispensable person in this harem.

The Queen Mother likes her the most, but it is difficult to guarantee that the Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse, and she can't take care of her from time to time.

Chang Ji had to be favored to end up like that, so what about her?

Can she not serve Xiao Yi for the rest of her life?

Escapism is no longer applicable to the current Duanwang Palace.

So, Yu Ji came up with such a way, so that the queen could not find fault and stand out.

Xiao Qi's words were entering Yu Ji's heart.

"Niangniang knows the doorway here, and she is obviously the hottest person in the entire Duanwang Palace, but she still can't be happy. Because the mother also understands the truth of climbing high and falling heavy. You don't want to fall too badly, you want to maintain the status quo, is that right?"

Yu Ji tugged at the corners of her lips: "You are Mei Ji's lobbyist." ”

Xiao Qi mentioned Chang Ji, which shows that she is not the queen's person. After all, the queen is not stupid enough to take out the ugly things she has done to invite people to buy people's hearts.

"But why should I choose Mei Ji, and I must think that her situation is not very optimistic. We can't take care of ourselves, what can we change if we huddle together to keep warm. It's just one more burden. ”

Yu Ji slowly picked up the teacup and gently peeled off the floating tea leaves with the lid.

"I'm more curious about why you're here than what you're here for. I know that Mei Ji is a Hunan person, and she has no future in the palace. She couldn't have children, she wouldn't have gotten a higher position, and the current situation was already the best for her. If she is obedient, it will be fine, but it is her fault to monopolize the king and enjoy the favor alone, and sooner or later she will be punished, otherwise, you will not appear by her side. ”

Yu Ji calmly analyzed Xiao Qi's situation, which made Xiao Qi's admiration for her a little more.

She is really smart, just like Xiao Qi thinks.

In contrast, Wang Ji and the others seemed much more brainless, they were clearly the most faceless people around the queen, and they could be said to be the queen's henchmen, but Xiao Qi's purpose of going to Fengtian Pavilion was not noticed at all.

Wang Ji and the others always thought that Xiao Qi went to Fengtian Pavilion to spy on Mei Ji, and that day they saw Mei Ji bring Xiao Qi to Kun Ling Palace, and they also made sarcastic remarks, but they were actually stupid.

Yu Ji smiled: "Wang Ji, they are very unsuitable for me, I will not be friends with them, but I will not offend them for a person who has no future." I know what Mei Ji wants, but why should I take the risk? Yes, without the merits of my family, without my parents and brothers, I was isolated, but for so many years, I have lived like this. The worst-case scenario is that Zuo has no status, no honor, and will be a good concubine for the rest of his life, which is not a loss for me. I don't really need to do anything hopeless, right? ”

Yu Ji did not let go, always insisted on her position, and did not give Xiao Qi any chance.

"Niangniang has always stayed out of things, and doing so can indeed give Niangniang a moment of peace. But today, Niangniang also saw it, so many gifts were sent to Qixiang Pavilion, even if Niangniang wanted to return to the past situation, it was impossible. And if Niangniang really thinks like this, from the beginning, she can just go to the Buddhist temple in the palace as usual, how can she apply to leave the palace with great fanfare and attract the attention of the palace. ”

Xiao Qi looked at her, as if he could see Yu Ji's heart: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the wind wants to stop and the water is edged." The slave maid understood that Niangniang wanted to be like Mrs. Shangguan, not to participate in the struggle in the palace, not to join any camp, just to keep a low profile and do things for the king. But Niangniang also knew that she couldn't be Mrs. Shangguan. Mrs. Shangguan's family background is far beyond your reach, and Mrs. Shangguan's mother's family can help the king, which is also something you can't do in your life. Instead of copying Buddhist scriptures in the palace every day to please the Queen Mother and her old man, it is better to find a way out by yourself. ”

A trace of anxiety crossed Yu Ji's heart.

What Xiao Qi said was exactly what she thought in her heart. 、

As she grew older, she became more and more anxious to find her place.

A worthless person is not worthy of life.

She must find a value that can keep her name in order to live like a true master in this palace.
